68. Phantom Thieves vs Demiurge Many Forms

Persona 5 Strikers – From Light and Dark

By Tayla Drago

Episode #68 - Phantom Thieves and Twins vs. Demiurge's Many Forms

This is it. The final battle this time – it's the Phantom Thieves, the twins of the four powerful children also Persona half breeds, two other Personas, and others supporting them to win this battle. With Sae, Miyako, Akane, and Sojiro did their part to wait for hope now in the real world; while back in the Metaverse Tree of Knowledge...Ichinose waiting around to have a talk to her sister Sango in a safe room while waiting for the battle to be over with.

Sango: Huh? What...? What is this? Hey!

She was all tied up.

Ichinose: Welcome back, Sango. Did you sleep well? Because we have a lot to talk about. Face to face. Or rather...Cognitive Shadow being of you while you're hiding like a coward in the real world face to face with your nice sister.

Sango: No...! My powers...! And Dr. Guru's dead...! Noooo! Why?! Why did I lose?! I had it all for me! For my Owada! And now it's all gone-!

Ichinose: Because you let our Mother die.

Sango: Huh?!

Slapping her sister on the face, this was all Sango Ichinose's fault in the first place. This has Kuon Ichinose to be nice while Sango was very mean.

Ichinose: Admit it...You let those crooks who broke into our home have our mother and her boyfriend killed. After our father left and committed suicide, you loss it all. You let the real Kano Guru be fooled by your charms to have children to make them into your test subjects! Hans and Ellen Guyvers! My nephew and niece! You knew about a Shadow of Pandora's brother to take over your husband to use them, our nephew Goro's half sisters of Aika and Hitomi to become Personas now, but with the coasts to protect the other twins! Made EMMA into a monster of a real false god, ruined Loki's life, making people into dolls, others as toys on Monarchs to Jails, and...! Why?! Tell me! Why did you let this happen to work for Owada?! Falling in love with a monster like him after murdering Hasegawa's wife to have Goro and Akane suffer! Shuzo and our other nice sister. Tell me...! Why?! Do you hate me!? Just answer me on what do all of this!

Yeah, why do all of this crap? And then the answer comes out of Sango's mouth.

Sango: ….! Grr...! I did it because I made father kill himself for mother to leave for another man! Yes...I wanted to scare her to give up everything priceless to go crawling back to him, but it was too late. And since she was cold hearted to you and me...it was sort of an accident. I didn't want to get caught to run into Owada and he changed me; then that stupid...our nephew and his step-sister had to see their mother get killed after she pushes them off the road...He got drunk for me to cover it up...And from the protect to get pregnant...I thought using the four can give hope. I did it all, but never wanted to murder Mia! That bastard allowed it for me to look away, I wanted him dead after we got hold of EMMA's powers, but Loki did for me anyways. Save me the trouble...But you had to destroy the original power of the Gegasite Queen, then I would've...! I never wanted to marry the real doctor to have kids to also watch Aika and Hitomi die only to become Personas for Hans and Ellen's sakes. They're half humans now with Persona powers! It was so much on me and to keep Owada safe! AAAAAH! All of this sucks! Part of me hates you, but I can't help but still love my only sister left...!

Ichinose: So, you have regrets on everything you done?

Crying in tears to know of Sango's mistakes now, she can never go back to or change anymore.

Sango: Aika and Hitomi are different...our older sister and mother our gone...father...Shuzo...the real Guru...Mia...Akechi's step-mother...everything...I'm such an idiot! There! I said it! I'm hiding now to keep Owada safe for us to have a good life!

Ichinose: I know...That's why I hid my true feelings from everyone from seeing you suffer a lot to make you happy. First our sister, and then me...! But you still treated me like crap to not look at me, only for my research skills! I wanted to cheer you up for so many years, and you gave me no love! If it wasn't for Sophia's kindness and the Phantom Thieves to show me the ways with a heart of my own to open up too, then I would still be a heartless doll under EMMA's orders. Well, not anymore. I send the Calling Card with them to have them do the rest now. It's over. So give up, both you and Owada. The cops will come for you both, it's best to surrender.

Sango: But Owada's love-!

Ichinose: He just used you to save his murder spree, all of it. He never loved you to become a complete pig from this chocolate bar things back in Sapporo. Am I right?

So this wasn't her real look but way different back in the real world.

Sango: He did what...? Oh, my god...

Seeing herself in the mirror, she was a big scrubbers then. Ouch.

Ichinose: Put a lot into you than gaining more brain power instead, how sad. But I do feel sorry for you, just a little. Now do you get it. Surrender yourself and Owada back in the real world to confess everything.

Over time it all makes sense to Sango to remember it all. After losing their mother and father to make her own sister into her slave, Sango bumps into Owada to have a good life to make her from cute into a pig, over the years. After the whole Pandora Box thing and having Zen's wife and Akane's mother murder, she really let herself go. Well, a bit worse look than Morgana or the other people were from Mariko Hyodo's Jail, remember? So yeah, what a monster he really is without a Jail at all or a Monarch to ruin everyone's lives.

Sango: Yes, I should've known and I went along with it. He gave me power, in return I keep quite on the crimes he's been doing, or has been doing. That's why I knocked him out cold to keep him safe from the even to happen, and now...Well, it's pretty much pointless now. All of it. So much for say sorry to Hasegawa and his kid, not to mention Goro Akechi too...Owada, I guess it's over between you and me. It was fun whole it lasted to know it was all an acted, I should've known. And for mom, dad, Shuzo, Mia, Kano, the other four kids, Akechi...it's too late.

Ichinose: I know they wouldn't want to see you, but I will. Just do as I said and maybe they'll know of your good deeds. At least, a little.

Untying her sister now, the cognitive and half shadow self started to disappear to do just that.

Sango: Really? I get it now. Well, Kuon, I guess this is goodbye then. It's embarrassing really. Just watch me when I take care of the mess Owada started, got it? I'll be a jail for a long time too, but not as long as that loser will be. I guess I didn't love you back because I wanted to be like you, as if.

Ichinose: I wanted to save you, but I got saved more.

Sango: Yeah? Well, at least you'll have a better life. It wasn't your fault on the EMMA mess, I dragged you into this more. I'll take your place in jail instead of you. Try to write to me, then over the years...I might want to talk to you again, as real sisters.

Ichinose: Right, then this is goodbye, Sango. I'm sorry too.

Sango: Same. Well, it's been fun.

Holding hands for the fake one goes away, Ichinose did her part. Not bad too for Sango to finally give herself up and Owada real soon, it'll happen. Now it's time for her to wait for the Phantom Thieves to finish things off from here.

Ichinose: It has been fun... (I guess I'll be waiting around now.)

She's doing great, you know? Now back with the Phantom Thieves. Keiko/Joker, Akechi/Black Crow, Morgana/Mona, Ryuji/Skull, Ann/Panther, Yusuke/Fox, Makoto/Queen, Futaba/Oracle, Haru/Noir, Sophia/Sophie, Zen/Wolf, Raiho the Jack Frost, Loki, Hans, Ellen, Aika/Picaro, and Hitomi/Kaguya enter back from the Tree of Knowledge area – Hall of Contracts and back into the room where EMMA and Pandora's Box were in to stop her this time and end the curse. With everyone's Desires back to send all of them a Calling Card 'so far' and the rest to save, all was good to not get trapped this time either. I think they were all set to go inside the room of the elevator ride to the top, with no more fog to making them brainwashed anymore. And don't worry about Loki's family, they were finding their way out of the prison they were all in, so all was well.

Akechi: The entrance to EMMA is right here.

Loki: And Pandora's Box.

They all know what needs to be done.

Morgana: Once we get on this, there's no turning back. It'll be the final battle. I'm absolutely certain every one of the Phantom Thieves will need to pull their weight in this one. Whether they're on the front line or they're back, everybody needs to be prepared. With all that said, do you think we're ready, Joker?

Keiko: Yes, let's go.

Morgana: All right, let's do it!

Sophia: I'll work on the curse to be stopped with the medallions help and my power, leave it to me.

Sounds like a plan there. Now entering in the elevator now to take them to the top one more time.

Ellen: I didn't think we would make it this far.

Hans: Neither did I, Sister. We can't back down now.

Picaro: As if!

Kaguya: Calm yourself, sister. We're a family to make it through the battle.

And they will too, from backups and regular humans.

Morgana: Is everybody ready?

Raiho: Hee-ho!

I think they all are.

Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sophia, and Zen: Ready!

Loki: You got it.

Just in...lots of Sentries of the last ones gathered together in a big group, to stop the Phantom Thieves.

Akechi: No...! We're surrounded!

To many to handle, until...lots of ice powers blast through some to be turned into ice cube and destroyed.

Zen: More are coming, but someone's helping us!

Not someone, an army.

Morgana: Jack Frosts...?

This made Raiho happy to see lots of his family in battle...Jack Frosts, Black Frosts, and King Frosts to the rescue.

Raiho: Hee-ho! Hee-ho! Hee-ho!

Makoto: Raiho's entire family all came to help us. Unbelievable.

With more trying to come by with lots of numbers, but some of them can't stop them all.

Ryuji: Shit! More of them are coming! Snowmen and bug freaks are fighting non-stop!

Soon, a butterfly appears to stop time on the enemies, but not on the friends of "hers". It's Lava to the rescue.

Kaguya and Picaro: It's Lavenza.

Morgana: Lady Lavenza!

And Morgana's true love to see Lava again. The powers of Lava's was working, but for how long.

Akechi: The member warden of the Velvet Room who works for Igor, correct?

Keiko: It is the one and only.

Little time to talk right now.

Lava: Hello, Morgana. Please let me speak before I turn off this power. Now Trickster...

Keiko: Yes, Lava?

Lava: There is a matter for which I must apologize.

Keiko: What would that be? Either way please don't. That's not necessary.

Lava: Please...I must...I have long sense the might of this calamity, but I as unable to pierce the veil and see its true identity. To think an artificial intelligence could rise to the strength of a malevolent god...From the curse of Pandora's Box.

All of this from a false god and a machine to cause all of this mess and a Greek story to be a real curse.

Keiko: Not good...! But, no problem for any of us to handle. Please, Lava, don't worry about it.

Kind hearted Keiko was, Lava still felt kind of bad. But there was no need to worry at all.

Lava: Even still, I am sorry. If only I had seen it sooner...The twins told me and I wish I said something much sooner than later.

Keiko: Please don't be so down on yourself.

Lava: That being is the dependency and indolence of mankind made manifest through their Desires. It is a false prophet, born from the masses' wishes to surrender their own free will.

Keiko: Pandora's Shadow?

Yeah, it makes sense while her spirit isn't at peace yet, EMMA's shell of a machine was her Shadow. It makes perfect sense now and to grow with Ichinose's help. And more on Konoe's end too.

Lava: They are the same. For the briefest of moments, it almost seemed as if the people reclaimed their Desires...But they still slumber in the chaos generated by the false god, and have yet to fully awaken...

Keiko: Another False God like Lilith and Yaldabaoth were.

They were to both be an outcast and in love to take over everything.

Lava: This situation is all too similar to that which you have already endured. Despite the great variance in circumstances, the masses have once again attempted to abandon consciousness. And yet...You still step forward and risk your life for mankind?

Keiko: Of course! We'll bring them back around. We fight whenever they needs us. Loki's family, his lover Pandora's spirit to be set free, the curse, Desires set free, and EMMA stopped. We will do it all.

Strong words for this girl and for Lava to like Keiko as friends and someone to keep their word too.

Lava: Without a doubt, you truly are the Trickster. Friends, family, someone you love, and your pure heart.

Keiko: Yeah?

Lava: Yes, look.

Soon the jail cell door breaks again and chains for Keiko's jail uniform is gone. She is free again with her Phantom Thief outfit on again.

Keiko: Hey! I'm free again!

Lava: Through your indubitable will of rebellion, you have been released. Your decision to fight for humanity was the that loosed yo from your chains.

Keiko: Who knew...

This proves on how caring Keiko Amamiya is.

Lava: Once you leave the Velvet Room and for me to unfreeze time, you shall face the Ark. That egotistical imposter calling itself a god, exploiting the pain of humanity...Please, do not fall to its might. Have the four children and Raiho with his family and me fight off the leftovers, while the rest of you and Loki stop the one call EMMA.

Keiko: So Hans, Ellen, Picaro, Kaguya, and Raiho stay with you?

Lava: Yes please. I shall await you here or outside of the room you'll enter into. We will see each other again-that is certain. Ready?

Keiko: Do it. Everyone, we go into battle. Raiho, aid your family! Hans, Ellen, Picaro, and Kaguya, please aid Lava to stop the remaining Sentries, please. Leave EMMA and the curse box to us.

Doing so for time to unfreeze again, the Sentries kept on coming. Lots of Jack, Black, and King Frosts fight off...only for Raiho gets it to hit and use more ice powers and his sword to cut through the rest. Aiding Lava, she uses her powers too.

Raiho: Hee-ho...

Lava: Thank you, friend. Now...behold my powers. Psychic Flare Shot! Spellbind – Frost! Tackle - Bizarre!

Nice shot! With them and the other members, they can win this. Soon, the others do the rest too.

Ellen: Staying behind? Well, we did our part, so now we leave the rest to them. Brother, you better back me up. You two, sisters.

Hans: Right, dear sister. We're all in this together. Phantom Thieves, do this for us and for everyone to change the our world like you promise.

Using their arrows and sword to cut the other Sentries down into tiny pieces.

Ellen: Come at us!

Hans: Eat this!

And don't forget about Kaguya and Picaro's powers to aid their Persona-User brother and sister too.

Picaro: You heard them, get going! We can handle these small fries.

Kaguya: Since you helped us stop a madman, allow for us to stop these monsters to say our thanks.

Using their attacks too combined.

Picaro: Black-hole Burst! Laser Explosion!

Kaguya: Lunar light Waves! Brighten Splash!

Lava: (Good luck, everyone. We'll handle the rest.)

All set to make a path and the elevator doors to close to go up top, the other six and other good Personas have got those guys. As the Phantom Thieves with Loki make their way to the top now.

Loki: They got this, these Sentries are getting weaker now. (Pandora, I'm going to finally set you free from this curse for good this time.)

Keiko: Then let's get going. Up we go.

And waiting to reach to the top happens next.

Akechi: Lavenza that good, I'm impress. Same with Raiho, he has learn a lot with his family. As for my sister Aika and Hitomi, how much my step-sisters have grown. With them and Hans and Ellen fight on, everything will be fine. Joker, we can do this.

Love, friendship, family, and giving people courage.

Keiko: And we all will, Black Crow.

Yeah, so there was no worries. It was time to get to work.

Morgana: Lady Lavenza and the others got this in the bag, and so will the rest of us. All right, here we go! Time for the big finish!

Ryuji: Hell yeah!

The elevator finally stops at the right floor EMMA was on, it was time now. The eleven Phantom Thieves and Loki 'who's Akechi's Persona', were all ready to fight off against EMMA for a real battle this time.

Tayla: As the chapter/episode is named of with some changes right here... 'Phantom Thieves and Loki vs. EMMA/Demiurge/Gegasite Queen. And...begin!

And the final Persona to say right here...

Persona #100 - Demiurge = the Darkness of Magic

Entering inside the room for Keiko, Akechi, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sophia, Zen, and Loki made it to see the leftover Desires heart gems flying around EMMA for some to be set free; as well as returning to other people back in the real world. Pandora's Box then sets off for EMMA to grow long arms to grab the rest of the Desires to bring back...Not good!

Akechi: No! She's getting the leftovers.

Loki: And that's not all...Pandora's corpse is fused with EMMA!

He's right. The Spirit is trapped from within and the leftover corpse remains as part of EMMA now, it was no doubt her Shadow self right now. From the box to glow and has enough power, EMMA body changes into some white of a false god demon of a giant with wings, long neck with a strange head with eyes or mouth, red lines behind it, and holding up a large computer screen above her head.

Ryuji: The hell?

Keiko: Pandora of the old self who's now dead and her Shadow are now one.

She then speaks...

Demiurge: I am the guiding god sought by mankind. The Demiurge. I exist by Pandora and her curse object to answer all of your Desires.

Not good on what they were all seeing here.

Keiko: EMMA and Pandora are now Demiurge?

Yusuke: There's no doubt. That's the Ark of the Covenant all right...That's EMMA!

From one thing into another one to be lay to rest, but hasn't yet to abuse the power.

Loki: How dare you...! How dare you use Pandora's remains as your power source! Release her or else!

Trying to break free, but Loki's powers had no affect to be break apart.

Akechi: Loki, stop! We'll solve the problem, we'll save her soul.

Loki: Grr...! I know that!

Demiurge: I'm afraid I cannot let you have this woman. She and I are one to do what needed to be functional, I was born once the curse was activated. I was once a being given the name EMMA. However, that is no more. I am Pandora, the real one and she is me all along. Her passing allow for me to take over to save mankind, side affects of the curse is under my control only. The Desires of mankind have transformed me into a god. Both her soul and body must remain within me, her leftover powers for my body. Me the Gegasite Queen to create others will save others, from slaves into ridding their Desires. I know you also heard the voices of the suffering when you were in the Desires and before you each battle the Doctor's Fake Shadows. He loss his humanity in the end, while his partner turned a blind eye. They no longer needed for me. Attaining the ultimate answer without suffering the lashes doled out by doubt and regret...That is humanity's true Desire. Pandora loss it all to take in the curse after being heart broken, to love someone else to have been cursed by her own brother's shadow to end her life for the curse to keep on cycling over centuries with no end. This is why I must do what needs to be done.

What happened from long ago, it just happened to know what to do in the future. As for others to be stuck into this mess, now that was very wrong to do.

Ryuji: From one girl to suffer, only to let others feel the same as her? No effin' way everyone asked you to glue their eyes to their phone screens!

Akechi: Brainwashing people on something they're not isn't the way for anyone to live!

Makoto: We don't need you to force any answers on us. We want to find them ourselves!

That's what the Phantom Thieves are for. They help other stop bad people and give them courage, but noting like this mess.

Demiurge: You heard their cries, yet still fail to see the light...As such, it is my duty to show you...

Loki: Even after stopping the man who try to ruin Pandora's life?

Demiurge: I do what needs to be done...the true despair born from harboring Desires beyond one's grasp.

Keiko: For the sake Loki's lover to finally rest in peace, we will stop you!

It was time for a battle and to go all out. This curse needs to end.

Sophia: Getting the curse to close up and open once more on EMMA before it can be destroyed will be hard. Loki, try releasing Pandora from her curse first.

Loki: Like hell this nightmare will stop me. Leave it to me, AI. Everyone else, don't die on me for nothing.

From one thing to do first and Sophia in control of Pandora's Box too, it'll be done.

Morgana: Here we go!

The Phantom Thieves and Loki go all out against EMMA/Demiurge. Well, more like the False God Demiurge.

Demiurge: I exist to grant humanity's true Desire to please Pandora. It is my divine calling to lead them to the Promised Land. Should you intend to thwart humanity's goal of enlightenment, it is my duty as their god to vanquish you. Like you too, Loki, you should've been banned for centuries now.

Loki: Forget it! Odin and Thor gave me a chance with a curse, even after death to come back swinging for more! I saved them, and now I'm returning the favor. I'm coming to set you free, Pandora!

The Phantom Thieves and Loki give it everything they got. And...begin! From their gun shooting skills 'besides Sophia's yoyo's and Morgana's slingshots', the rest use their weapons too. One by one to make some damage on this False God or horrors.

Sophia: Its power is incredible...I can physically feel its pressure!

Both Sophia and EMMA are the same of Pandora's powers and the box after al.

Zen: I never would've bet that I'd pick a fight with a god one day...

Akechi: Get back, Wolf!

Pushing his teacher/father aside from the wing are to blow away and powers to charge of energy blasts.

Zen: Thank you, Black Crow. That was way too close!

Sophia: Keep your distance a bay please.

The more blasts were coming from above to to shoot laser beam-like powers to dodge. Almost burned off Morgana's tail.

Morgana: Ouch! My tail...Brace yourselves, everyone! We're going all-out until this is settled!

Doing so to try hitting it with a lot more power from within, not even Loki couldn't touch or reach out to Pandora yet.

Loki: Dammit all!

Ryuji: Ha, it's barely moved a muscle and still it's hammerin' us with all sorts o' shit!

Yusuke: I can't read its moves!

Hard to shoot and strike to not know when EMMA is hit. Even her bing wings were her shields. More energy showers shot out at them So strong and it'll never end.

Keiko: So powerful...!

Morgana: We can't dodge its attack like this if we can't get to Pandora's body...Oracle, is there anything you can do?

Besides boosting their powers, healing them up from HP, SP, and defense will have to do the trick until she did find something.

Futaba: Just a sec-analysis in progress! You'll have to hang in there a bit longer, sorry! Necronomicon, let's get to work.

Getting her Persona to get the job done.

Akechi: Anything you do find out would be perfect!

Hurting a bit to slowing EMMA down, just a bit to get back up for more of sound waves from the ground to jump as fast as they could. Like a jump rope.

Futaba: Yes! Attack patterns are analyzed! Follow my instructions and you'll be able to dodge enemy attacks!

It was time to attack once Keiko got an opening.

Keiko: Now's our chance to attack while EMMA's down, go! Arsene, lend me your strength! Daggers of Darkness!

Akechi: You and me, Robin Hood and Loki! Saber Sword Slash!

Morgana: Zorro, strike her down! Furious Fangs!

Ryuji: Let's go, Captain Kidd! Raging Storm Clash!

Ann: Dance, Carmen! Burning Claw!

Yusuke: Goemon, we can do this! Aqua Typhoon!

Makoto: Keep on riding, Johanna! Venom Blast!

Haru: Together, Milady! Lily Whip!

Sophia: Pandora, together now! SP Piercer!

Zen: Valjean, time to kick some False God's ass! Ground Shatter!

Doing well so far, only for EMMA wanted more to leave out a powerful attack she was charging up for to be ready to aim, and fired at.

Futaba: Flanking, attack! Fall back, quick!

Another laser beam shoot down from above again to be moving in random directions, they dodge it all in time. Soon Loki had an opening of his own to move from one platform to another and then...he gives it his all.

Loki: Coming in...! Psycho Big-Bang-Boom!

Leaving a huge blast and damage on EMMA, it was working out so far. Another showering one happens for the rest move to other platforms in time before getting showered upon to their dooms.

Futaba: Cyber Net Strike! I won't let you hurt my friends!

That slows the rest to go away from EMMA's other attacks so far. Still from more charging up of attacks to blocking their paths with her wings to do so.

Keiko: Hey! Get your wings out of the way!

Shooting their guns will have to do the trick somehow.

Demiurge: Discard your Desires! Allow me to grant you all the answers you need. Now is the time for you to be freed from suffering. Just like my original human self once was.

She just won't back down from getting hit so many times either.

Loki: Not happening! Move!

Getting out in time to move and then attack again, repeating to staying alive was their best option.

Zen: Tch, it's still so unbothered...

Makoto: But it's not as if our attacks are wholly ineffective. If we keep up the pressure, we can still win this!

They kept on doing so many times until Loki can make a move to save Pandora and destroy the box next. Cut downs and shoot out with their Personas help all they can do for now.

Arsene: Surrender or else, evildoer.

Demiurge: Lots ones, why do you resist salvation? Your Desires bring you only pain.

Yusuke: As if lobotomizing all of humanity is any sort of salvation!

Ann: Keep that kind of saving for yourself. It's not happening on our watch!

More attacks and Personas help can do what needs to be done, give it your all.

Loki: Keep on attacking and I'll do the same!

Keiko: Double Daggers of Darkness!

Akechi: Double Edge Sword Take-down!

Morgana: Blaze of Rage!

Ryuji: Lighting Flash Attack!

Ann: Flame Shooter!

Yusuke: Frozen Waves!

Makoto: Viper Sting!

Futaba: Web Cage! I'm not staying out of this fight to still boost you guys up, I'm in it too!

Haru: Petals of Doom!

Sophia: Echo Psychic!

Zen: Boulder Crusher!

Caused a big damage there on EMMA so far.

Haru: It's working! We just need one last push...

Sophia: Almost there. We can win this. I'm not a heartless doll, I have my own will! Mine and mine alone!

Loki: That's right!

Jumping in to cut some of the cores from behind, allowing for Loki to get Pandora's body and spirit from out of EMMA's body so far. But failed to get the box, only for Akechi to get him out of danger.

Akechi: That's one down.

Loki: Just the body and soul of Pandora's finally free, but the curse box...

Akechi: You done great so far, Loki. Don't worry, that one's next.

Good team work to get one spirit free from her shadow self so far.

Demiurge: Just like this fatal error you've taken under your wing, your hubris shall be your downfall. Take the body and soul, the box is all I need to function since I'm in full control of it now. You are living proof that I must guide humanity to the Promised Land.

Morgana: *gasp* *pant" Did we do it?!

Hitting and such, I think it was working.

Demiurge: ...This is fruitless. I cannot discern the purpose of this conflict.

They all kept on shooting, cutting down, and using powers on her!

Ryuji: Dammit, it's still actin' all cool and shit...It's really pissin' me off!

Demiurge: If you still cannot comprehend the truth, then the knowledge shall come at the cost of your very lives.

With them hurt, Loki cuts down EMMA's wings really fast to be bleeding out.

Loki: Shut up already! Psycho Big-Bang-Boom!

A direct hit! Now to weaken the box some more before stopping the curse next and out of EMMA's body, Keiko heals up Pandora's remains and soul with her powers.

Keiko: Way a go, everyone! (Now, here's my chance.) Rainbow of the Flaming Heart! (There...And now we wait for it to go through.)

Healing Pandora's to remember what she and Loki went through until her dying death to sense what was happening right now, and sees Loki fighting this battle for her sake. The healing will take time to go through, but she was away from the danger to say the least. Good.

Akechi: It should take time.

Loki: I know, thanks again. Joker. Black Crow.

With the final hit on EMMA, she was down. Well, this was far from over yet since the box had more power on EMMA's end than Pandora's now. Not good...!

Ryuji: Dammit...That thing's strong!

Ann: But we're not losing either! We can do this!

Sophia: No matter how many times we may fall, so long as we rise again, we cannot be defeated. We've freed Pandora's soul, now it's time to destroy the item of hers.

None of them aren't giving up just yet.

Akechi: We made a deal with Loki up until this very point and we're not giving up now!

Loki: Hey... (After going so much trouble and giving another chance again, it all comes down to this.)

Once a Shadow to have a change of heart and Akechi's Persona to learn so much with feelings now.

Zen: Well put! And thanks to me line of work, I'm stubborn as hell too! Even I support Loki's lifestyle of a Persona.

Everyone has their own Desires to do something and nothing more, no matter how much EMMA tries to change it. It's not happening!

Demiurge: I do not understand. Why do you push yourselves to your limit to oppose me? Mankind's Desires create suffering, and this suffering generates Desires within mankind. Desires are the catalyst in the endless cycle of humanity's pain. Hope, the dregs of Pandora's box, is the restraint system binding mankind forever to its misery. Humanity deserves to be freed from its lifelong sentence of suffering, this reaching towards a light they can never grasp. Freedom from all Desires. That is the true Desires of humanity.

No, it is not. And Sophia had seen so much with her own eyes from the avatar phone and in this world to learn a lot, to have a real heart in learning so much.

Sophia: That's not true. I've seen the proof myself. I've witness the suffering you put the Jail Monarchs through, and I've seen the efforts of the Phantom Thieves to help them. I saw people suffer from trauma, struggle to survive become the things they never wanted to be...And then discover the strength to press on as themselves, one step at a time. Giving up on Desires? Living a listless life? In no way is that the optimal solution!

Demiurge: You witnessed nothing but pitiable conditioning, born from the belief that suffering is virtuous. It springs forth from the arrogant and strong-those capable of overcoming their pain. Releasing humanity from its Desires is the solo path that every last person can follow to the Promised Land...And I am the shepherd who still guide humanity down that path.

This false god thinks she''s all that special and Sophia's not? Since they're both the same living being? Well, think again!

Zen: Listen to this ego-maniacal app. You really think you're some kind of shepherd? You STOLE the Desires of the masses and gorged yourself on them until you were too bloated to listen to reason! You go on and on about "rescuing" humanity-all you're doing is robbing and enslaving them!

Akechi: (Well said, Master.) You're more like a monster to have the real Pandora suffer by your power!

Yusuke: You call yourself a god, yet fail to realize...The Desires of humanity have become your own lifeboat as well.

Makoto: Yes, some Desires may be impure. They can create suffering, or send someone down the wrong path...But it's also how our hope takes form! Desires give us the power and courage to keep going!

Haru: Right! That's what gives us the power to stand up and fight again, no matter how many times we fall!

Futaba: Like hell will we hand over all the humanity to some program that doesn't even understand them!

Morgana: We're putting an end to your Promised Land path, right now!

Keiko: We're shutting you down, EMMA. Time to end this.

All of them said it out loud.

Loki: Heh, I could've said it myself here...Still, this fools who saved and changed me from the likes of someone I once love, to do what's right after being tricked once! Well not anymore!

Ryuji: That's right!

Ann: We'll give us our all!

Strong words speak louder to say than sometimes to show off in battle.

Demiurge: We seem incapable of reaching an understanding. As such, I will end this inquiry and grant humanity's Desire...through your annihilation.

Soon the box curse powers up EMMA's body even more. From a rumble sounds, light shining through, and the cage with the item glow up in EMMA's hands too. For this part to happen next...Having many arms with two staff of lid up candles in her hands; more orbs to be shown, vines to be all over the ground and up, wings on her head, and other floating orbs in the air with creepy faces on each of them, as well as the face too with the screen getting bigger.

Keiko: Another level up?

Morgana: Let's go, everyone! This is the final battle!

Doing so to shoot and use their powers with combined weapons at EMMA/Demiurge for this final showdown, but her seconds form prove to be a bit more pointless to hit her, the box and other things healed her good as new. No fair! From fire blast to come falling out of the skies.

Makoto: Hey!

Almost losing her grip in riding, Yusuke uses his ice to land his girlfriend to safety.

Yusuke: Fear not, Queen, I got you.

Makoto: Thank you, Fox.

More ice beams to be fire to have Haru lose her weapon almost for Futaba to shield her friend.

Haru: Oh, my...!

Futaba: Crap! I don't like where this is going!

Other nuke bombs out there for Loki couldn't get rid of all of them at once.

Loki: How many attacks does this thing have?!

Then lighting shoots out of the ground next to hit Ann, Ryuji, and Zen really badly.

Zen: Dammit! That stings!

Ryuji: And I thought mine were painful...!

Ann: She's getting too strong!

How can EMMA get this much more powerful now with Pandora's Box so easily? More shields powers stop the gun shots and weapon swinging too.

Sophia: Something's wrong...! My attacks of the curse's power won't allow for me to do the job at this rate.

Yusuke: Indeed, there is a problem. Could our attacks be lacking any effect?

Ann: Maybe it's invincible now that it's a god?! Like...no way, right?!

Futaba: Maybe it has something to do with the change in form? Lemme analyze it, hang on!

Hurry up, because a powerful wind turns everything around to push Morgana back really hard to hurt like broken shard glasses.

Morgana: Ah! Hurry, Oracle!

Hurting him a bit, Keiko then tries to use her other Persona skills to push the wind back. It worked, but being thrown up and then hurt a bit more cause it to happen so fast. In pain and bleeding badly now.

Keiko: Aaaaah! That hurts!

Morgana: Joker!

Keiko: It's fine, Mona. Your safety what matters more...This is nothing...

Using it staffs this time swinging it back and forth on the grounds, Keiko couldn't dodge or move away...only for Akechi to push his lover to get hit and them burned badly instead of Keiko, this makes her worry about her fiance's injuries now.

Akechi: Aaaagh! Princes...!

Keiko: Akechi-Cun...! Akechi-Cun! Why did you do that?!

Akechi: Ouch...! I was worried about all of you, I didn't want you to get hurt. No matter what we do to EMMA, she can still fight and us getting weaker.

Keiko: Thank you for saving me...I can at least heal everyone, I got a Persona with it.

Doing so to recover, but nothing any of the Phantom Thieves do, didn't do anything else at the false god.

Akechi: Ah, much better. Let's try to be a bit more careful now.

Morgana: I agree with you there, Black Crow.

Using the staff to try cutting down the others, it breaks the ground to push the others back...moving away this time to give Futaba a bit more time on her end. And finally, she picks up something from EMMA/Demiurge.

Futaba: Analysis complete-you gotta hear this!

Using a Persona shield skills for Keiko and Loki do so together.

Loki: It'll hold for now just in case. For me and Joker's powers will work. Now for the plan, Oracle.

Catching their breaths for a bit, the group listen what Futaba just found out.

Ryuji: The hell, man?! Our attacks aren't doin' jack shit!

Zen: Does anyone have a plan? Also, Black Crow?

Akechi: I'm fine. From some healing, we still need to be careful.

A bit beaten up, but still alive.

Keiko: Me too...Sorry, everyone.

Morgana: We're hanging in there at least. Oracle, what's causing all of this from EMMA and the box?

Seeing from around EMMA was the flying spheres.

Futaba: It's the sphere up there! They're feeding energy to the Demiurge!

Loki: The lost souls, the first few that was release from the box when Pandora opened t. I never though I see them in person.

Yusuke: So until we deal with those, our attacks on the main body are fruitless?

Zen: How do we do that? There are a whole bunch of 'em!

From lost souls of demons to be the first and morph a lot over centuries to aid EMMA like this, not good at all.

Akechi: If only we each take out some and the rest to take out EMMA.

Keiko: Wait...We should go one at a time. At the rate she's dealing damage to all of us, we have to fight back. So..We should split up.

I think it might work. For the three powers to be destroyed, a few getting to Pandora's Box, and the rest to stop the main bad guy.

Morgana: I see, split into groups and coordinate a strike! Okay, we need four teams-two go after the spheres, two more get the box out of the body, and one more sticks to the main body.

Loki: Akechi, you and me get the item. And Oracle, back us up.

Futaba: Umm...Sure, I'll do it.

A smart move to do there in order for the curse to finally get destroyed.

Akechi: Good thinking...Oracle will aid everyone and us to while we do the rest.

Zen: Just don't get killed out there again, will ya?

Akechi: I won't, Wolf, I promise.

Smiling there to have those two and Futaba as their back up stay put with Pandora's remains...

Keiko: Okay, which also leaves...Panther, Fox, and Queen will go on that side. Skull, Noir, and Sophie with the other one. Leaving Mona, Wolf, and me with EMMA herself.

Morgana: Right. You should lead that last team, Joker. Just as you said.

Keiko: Leave it to me. Good luck with the spheres, everyone. And Black Crow, both you and Loki got the box.

Not to get hurt or die trying to this time. Loki knows what he needs to do with Sophia saying so to the boys.

Sophia: Remember to close the box first before you open it up again on EMMA. Once you do, leave the last part to me. We'll end this curse together.

Zen: All right, we're ready for assignment!

Then it settles, all of it. Ann, Yusuke, and Makoto on the first sphere; Ryuji, Haru, and Sophia at the second one, Akechi and Loki to get the box with Futaba's help, and finally...Keiko, Zen, and Morgana with the EMMA battle. So let's do this for one scene of the battle field to show in the air at a time.

Makoto: That should do it. Careful out there, everyone.

Futaba: I can navigate all four teams, I need to aid Black Crow and his Persona from here on my attacks only, the rest I can aid the rest-overclocking my brain like that might melt it down, but I'm gonna do it! The spheres names are...Keter, Gevurah, Binah, Chokmah, Hod, Tiferet, Yesod, Malkhut, and Netzach. As for as a I can remember those only.

They each get two medallions to be placed around EMMA next on each different sides.

Sophia: Let's go, everyone!

Off they go. First up was Ann/Panther, Yusuke/Fox, and Makoto/Queen to do their parts against five big spheres in their way to put a fight, but they got their own team work here. Using their gun shooting of machine one, hand gun, and powerful riffles to do the trick to slowing them down and then avoiding their attacks. From Ann becoming a fashion model, Yusuke a great artist and Makoto as the commissioner in the police force. Keiko aided them to see things a lot to have true love for Ann and Ryuji and Makoto and Yusuke to make it come true for all four of them.

Ann: As long as we're around, you're not getting your way! Spinning Inferno!

This has Ann and Carmen to burn some of them to be melting down.

Yusuke: A world without freedom can never know beauty. I shall turn you to ribbons along with your scheme! Tsunami Blast!

From water and ice to splash, freeze up, and then cut them all into ice pieces, another hit for Yusuke and Goemon destroys the third one.

Makoto: My will is my own, and no one else's! I won't let anyone tell me how to live! Poison Fangs!

The rest have Makoto ride on Johanna to have two more turn into smoke.

From power and their weapons next to use - whip, sword, and knuckles.

Demiurge: The Desires of mankind are the root of their misfortune. Bring this to light for them, Keter.

More power ups on these things.

Futaba: Wha-What?! A warden?! How did that get here? Did that sphere called Keter summon it?! Take out Keter first! You'll be in deep if it keeps summoning wardens!

Worse now, Wardens of their skills are popping out all over.

Demiurge: Chokmah, grant then my divine revelation.

Futaba: Watch out, Chokmah has multiple affinity attack! Don't go ignoring your weaknesses!

Now they each use their All-Out Attack on the left over to get the last sphere standing.

Ann: Too late go back down now...Get lost! See ya!

Yusuke: A Bitter Farewell!

Makoto: First of Justice!

Not bad to hurt the leftovers in the way.

Demiurge: Do you truly understand your actions? Hear me when I say I have formed the ultimate solution. Humanity will be delivered from its suffering.

Yusuke: I tire of your grotesque sight...At least your end can be beautiful!

Keep on gun shooting, cutting or breaking down, and using their powers - fire, ice, and poison skills.

Demiurge: Desires are nothing but evil temptations, leading humans down a path of suffering. Entrust your Desires to me-or do you prefer to languish in despair?

Not happening at all!

Makoto: This is the price for trampling on the hearts of all humanity!

Demiurge: Humanity shrinks from difficult decisions and grows exhausted by endless possibilities. I shall be the end to that suffering. Are you not in search of such an answer as well?

Then using their Showtime to finish the job off.

Ann: Blast 'em away, Carmen!

Yusuke: Go down and fall, Goemon!

Makoto: Burn rubber and eat my dust, Johanna.

And they're all done on their side. With Demiurge to get weaker, Keiko and the others do the rest back down below.

Ann: Finish it with a bang, Joker!

Yusuke: Yes, Joker! Give us the final touch!

Makoto: Joker! We believe in you!

Cheering Keiko on and such, Akechi and Loki go around EMMA's body to get the box out of here from behind from the powerful shield to be broken down.

Loki: We're ready, Oracle. Give us a helping hand.

Futaba: Leave this to me and Necronomicon. Now then, time to break in! Techno Claws!

It works for Loki to break through, but incoming Wardens to stopping them.

Akechi: Get out of our way!

Using from gun laser blast weapon and his laser sword, not only can Akechi can be as Black Crow of the suit, but Crow too for Robin Hood to help hm out. From light powers and berserker. Good to have those two to see at a time, from two Personas with Robin Hood with defense and Loki as offense.

Loki: I told you he'll come back at a cognitive self too. Your welcome.

Akechi: And Joker's outfit from jacket and without jacket?

Loki: Yeah, an outfit and defense thing there.

Hopefully, they can get the box to close while holding off the curse as plan. While Ryuji/Skull, Haru/Noir, and Sophia/Sophie to stop the other fie spheres next. From Ryuji to be the fastest runner again when his leg to heal up, Haru to run a cafe of her own later while also Big Bang Burger place of Okumura Foods to run well for people to be fine; and for Sophia to fight on for her own AI of a heart to learn so much and live for herself and others to carry on from the tragic that happened for Mia to never be forgotten. For Ryuji and Ann's love, Haru with Sugimura who was saved to be dating with for now, and Sophia carrying of a special Persona-User.

Ryuji: Time to show you what REAL human strength is-we're gonna mess you up! Mega Volt!

Shocking of one sphere to get burn up and electrocuted for Ryuji and Captain Kidd were doing well.

Haru: I can take on anyone with my friends at my side-that even includes a god! Daisy Vines!

More plants to pull down another one to get crushed by lots of plants for Haru and Milady to grow.

Sophia: Sophia: I refuse to allow all of humanity to be turned into dolls. My job is to stop you! Neo Energy Waves!

Leaving Sophia and Pandora to have some ESP to blast the third one away. Careful, two more are left standing with other Wardens under Demiurge control.

Demiurge: Wipe away these obstacles, Malkhut. Create the foundation for the ideal world.

Incoming other Fake Shadows heading their way.

Futaba: Damn, a ton of Shadows just appeared! Looks like Malkhut can summon them!

Lots to take out with their weapons first - cannon blasts, rocket launcher, and yoyo's for Sophia's skills. How to take out to last few? Besides metal poles, yoyo's, and axe to ht one, and then All-Out Attacks for them to do for the last two.

Ryuji: Laters!

Haru: This is your end!

Sophia: Say good-bye!

One is cracked down into tiny pieces.

Demiurge: Man is a fatally flawed organism. The proof lies in their legacy of irrational decisions. Why would you oppose the creation of a perfect world? It would be the best solution for every one of you. Yesod, purify these human tainted with ruinous Desires.

Ryuji: Dude! Do you ever shut up!

Tayla: I'm afraid not.

Demiurge: As mankind searches for its own solution, it repeatedly strays from the correct path.

Haru: We will stand out ground and fight for ourselves. A phony god like you won't stop us!

Like they'll be happening at all...Now for their Show Time moves for these three to make on next. Hurry before the false god gets more power ups.

Demiurge: Deceit...Arrogance...Jealousy...The word is full of such malice in its current state. The Promised Land is a place of equality and righteousness. True peace will be realized there.

Not happening, now strike back!

Ryuji: Batter up!

Haru: Let us dance!

Sophia: Ready! Aim! Fire!

Now with the last one destroyed, Keiko does her part again for the others leave the rest to a few more members.

Ryuji: You got it from here, Joker!

Haru: It's all yours now, Joker!

Sophia: Let's put an end to this, Joker!

Finishing up with Akechi/Crow/Black Crow and Loki stopping the Wardens and breaking through EMMA's body for Futaba/Oracle helps them out to get the box, from some being killed off for Akechi uses both Robin Hood and Loki's powers combined into one, and changing from one clothing of skills after another, randomly happens. Akechi to be set free to fall in love with Keiko, Futaba being free to get out more for her mother's sake, and Loki to finally be himself to do what's right now thanks to the Phantom Thieves' help from changing his heart. With Akechi of Crow or Black Crow to use his attack, Show Time, and All Out Attack.

Akechi: Double Edge Sword Take-down! Good-bye, bulls eye! Behold my Power! (From light and dark clothing...It's good to be me again in many forms. Robin Hood and Loki, let's give it our all.) Loki! Now's your chance!

Making his move to power up, break with his sword, fast speed, and his attack breaks down the box cursed to get the job done.

Loki: For you, Pandora...AAAAAAH! Psycho Big-Bang-Boom!

Destroying the last Warden, the box was removed for Loki to take and hold on to first once he closes it for the curse to ware off now. With Futaba having Necronomicon's arms to grab the Personas and Loki out of danger for the shield to get shut down. They've done it. Leave it for Sophia to do the rest of the curse to get destroyed next...once Demiurge is stopped next. Leave it to me Keiko/Joker, to be the leader of the Phantom Thieves for a kind and smart beautiful girl with a special gift, Morgana to be made for Igor and Lava to carry out the task at hand to care for humans 'even Lava's love for him'; and of course Zen/Wolf to care for Akechi and his daughter Akane to avenge Aoi his wife by bringing real justice against Owada soon enough, and learned a lot to be a better cop too. It was there three to make their move now. And hey, Keiko can use her offense without a jacket, and defense with it on to still be in control and with good looks.

Keiko: (Good. Akechi and Loki got the box, it's closed. It should slow down EMMA long enough to stop her next. With Futaba backing us up like she did with the others so far, we can with this. I'm also happy to get my jacket back again while Akechi got his old look and his new one, I love them both.) Now Wolf! Mona! Let's finish this! Double Daggers of Darkness!

The boys and the female thief give it their all. Some powerful curse to beat down from Keiko and Arsene's skills.

Demiurge: Hmmm...Not bad. The box has been removed. It looks like with enough power, I can handle the rest myself without it.

Morgana: You never should've messed with humanity. Hope you're ready to pay the price! You're going down! Your luck ran out the moment you underestimated the Phantom Thieves! Whirlwind Tackle!

Some strong wind pay back for both Morgana and Zorro bring in the storm of pain

Zen: Since it's impossible to arrest a god, the Phantom Thieves get to punish you instead. Call of the Wild!

Strong ground skills as Zen and Valjean give it from the earth element to bring on the hurt. From their powers, weapons – hand sword, daggers, and long sword; as well as hand gun, slingshot, and long shot gun to fire off to cutting down their giant foe too with the three to use their skills 'while also the spheres were getting destroyed' by the other Phantom Thieves' doing. One by one that is with Futaba still backing the others up for a few members at a time.

Futaba: The sphere's down! Now you can really lay into that Demiurge!

Awesome! This time, EMMA cannot heal anymore to get hurt more and more at a time.

Keiko: Now we can use our moves little at a time. Wolf! Mona! Follow my lead!

Moving from one side to another and missing her attacks to hurt as much in damage anymore.

Ryuji: You see that?! Even a god's no prob for us!

No element powers didn't work as much but for some, EMMA's hitting long staff still does some damage.

Demiurge: Man is a fatally flawed organism. The proof lies in their legacy of irrational decisions. Think what Pandora could've done, the weaker side of me, for I can change everything in a insistence. Why would you oppose the creation of a perfect world?! It would be the best solution for every one of you. Loki, try to re-think this.

Loki: Like I'll give you back this box. I should've done this for her a long time ago, and I'm not backing down from it either.

Shooting a lot to keep EMMA away from Loki to get the weapon back, not this time.

Ryuji: Not having a place to belong sucks, but it you don't got one, you just hafta make one for yourself! That's what these guys aught me. It's how I know I don't need your shitty world! Like the twin Persona girls, they wanted to live to protect the two they care about with reasons even if they were killed!

Working to move away and try using her elements again, but it was an All-Out Attack time.

Keiko: Go! it is done!

Morgana: The end!

Zen: And that's that!

Not bad there, they can still do this.

Morgana: You're going down! Your luck ran out the moment you underestimate the Phantom Thieves! What Raiho and his family went through, we'll give them a new life without being slaves no more!

More attacks coming out to be fired at, but from using their weapons to hit it back like a bat, did the trick.

Zen: And it's outta here!

Demiurge: As mankind searches for its own solution, it repeatedly strays from the correct path. By accepting the answers I provide, you will all be freed of the pain that accompanies failure.

Other attacks to dodge, hit, and stop EMMA from firing off keeps on going. Good thing Arsene was there on Keiko's side.

Arsene: We can do this, Lady Joker. Don't give up now.

The main leader understood.

Keiko: I know, thank you.

Morgana: Hey, EMMA! That's not how it works at all! There are all sorts of things to gain while looking for your answer. The memories I share with these guys would be impossible to make in your world!

With more spheres getting destroyed while all of this was going on.

Futaba: One more sphere down!

Ann: Too late for you to beg for forgiveness-get lost!

More spheres stopped, the weaker EMMA was getting.

Demiurge: Do you truly understand your actions? Hear me when I say I have formed the ultimate solution. Humanity will be delivered from its suffering.

Ann: We're not saying we want to suffer! Humans hate to endure suffering and grief...But I know there are amazing things on the other side of that pain and grief! And I want to find them for myself! Having the Guyver twins of clones becoming something they were not...it was just wrong I tell you!

Yusuke: I tire of your grotesque sight...At least your end can be beautiful!

Nothing they were saying was getting to EMMA for she won't process this at all.

Demiurge: Desires are nothing but evil temptations, leading humans down a path of suffering. Entrust your Desires to me-or do you prefer to languish in despair?

Yusuke: Despair instills no fear in me. As long as I have the will to stand once more, I shall forge my own path! My companions are the ones who led me to that realization-as if you could ever comprehend that! Between the doctor and your Shadow self, I feel sorry for Pandora's many centuries of suffering from this curse!

Another hit there.

Futaba: Use another attack on it! Do it!

Here comes the Show Times moves from the last three.

Morgana: Transforming and charge, Zorro!

Zen: Earth quake boom, Valjean!

Keiko: It's show time, Arsene!

Now that did a whole lot of damage there to be working.

Makoto: This is the price for trampling on the hearts of all humanity!

Akechi: And no curse box won't save you with or without it this time!

Demiurge: Humanity shrinks from difficult decisions and grows exhausted by endless possibilities. I shall be the end to that suffering. Are you not in search of such an answer as well?

Loki: Not by force, you crazy bitch!

Harsh words was slowing EMMA down so far.

Makoto: Weapon to change things for the better isn't right! The real Pandora would've said so too. Fearing repercussions, accepting any answer foisted on me? I am not that "good girl" anymore. I won't give up who I am just to please someone else. I am fighting to live my life for myself!

Haru: We will stand our ground and fight for ourselves. A phony god like you won't stop us! What Loki feels now is right than your cause is!

Things do suck sometimes, but trying to live through it all will work for the best.

Demiurge: Deceit...Arrogance...Jealousy...The world is full of such malice in this current state. The Promised Land is a place of equality and righteousness. True peace will be realized there.

Haru: I would love to live in a world where people don't get hurt...But we have to make that world for ourselves! It we're going to have a chance! It can't be forced on us!

Futaba: And we'll show you even it is by force! Another sphere gone! The spheres are dropping one by one. We're halfway there now! Keep it up, guys!

More bless of light blast about to be fired out.

Akechi: Incoming, Joker!

Demiurge: I do not comprehend why you deny my answer. I can guide you to the Promised Land. I can save all of you. There will be no loss, no grief...yet you continue to resist?

Blowing up other things out of the way and move from the bombs to hit each other, was going pretty well.

Zen: Loss is scary, especially to a coward like me, and it only gets scarier once you lose someone important...As long as Goro and Akechi are a team and a real family with Akane, then that's what really matters to me. But what's even scarier is just giving up! The I wouldn't be able to protect the people I still have left!

Nice words there, leaving Futaba to heal up from HP and SP for Keiko, Morgana, and Zen to keep on fighting at EMMA with everything they have. Personas, powers, weapons, and gun shooting.

Sophia: See? Having a dead body as power and a cursed box, it has to end. Let the real Pandora go free now. Your ultimate solution is but on faulty logic. We can't lose to someone like you!

Demiurge: Flawed prototype-you are unable to provide humanity the correct answer. However, you still have the chance to correct this. Discard your hearts and join me in the promised land.

Sophia: You are not the one who determines whether or not I have the answer! I'll keep searching for the right answer myself, no matter how long it takes!

Hurting it some more and such, another laser blast had Keiko use a shield mirror type of Persona to hit right back at EMMA to take a hit. Soon for Zen and Morgana to use from slingshots and sword cutting, the body breaks into pieces for her to be very weak now.

Keiko: How about a taste of your own medicine? You hurt three people, had a man you played with, another two to have themselves killed, destroyed Loki's life, almost had Ichinose killed too, same with Sophia, and destroyed a beautiful woman's dreams in a fate she shouldn't be in! It's time to end this, Demiurge!

Demiurge: Why...? Desires are the root of all suffering. Unfathomable...Unfathomable! The box...Pandora self...return them to me!

Futaba: It worked! Just one more push to go-hang in there!

Everyone-cheer on now!

Akechi: You got her now!

Loki: For my love, our daughter, and her brother will finally be set free!

Ryuji: You got it from here, Joker!

Morgana: Go for the big finish, Joker!

Ann: Finish it with a bang, Joker!

Yusuke: Yes, Joker! Give us the final touch!

Makoto: Joker! We believe in you!

Haru: It's all yours now, Joker!

Sophia: Let's put an end to this, Joker!

Zen: C'mon, let's get 'em, Joker!

It was working...With Hans, Ellen, Kaguya, and Picaro got their enemies killed. Along with other Persona, Jack Frosts, King Frosts,and Black Frosts done their parts. Soon Lava and Raiho stopped the last Fake Shadows and Gegasite type of Sentries.

Lava: Well done, friend. Now with them gone and the rest to be destroyed. It is time for the final move for the kids to aid the Phantom Thieves.

She was right, for even the others in the real world felt the others out to sense only.

Now back in the Metaverse...

Demiurge: I shall grant you foolish obstructs the fist of eternal slumber.

Time for the lovers to use their final move to weak EMMA...

Keiko: Black Crow!

Akechi: Joker!

Do it!

Keiko and Akechi: Light and Dark - Energy Blast!

One hit burned off the two staffs for good to really give EMMA a real shocker all over.

Demiurge: Desires...Humanity's Desires...Unfathomable...Unfathomable...my power...my item...Not functional without them...

With the six medallions all set up, it was time.

Futaba: The enemy's down! It's weakened, too-nows our chance!

Coming back together for all of the 12 thieves of any other way, they were ready. Having their Arcanas glow for Keiko to know of. Along with Loki giving Sophia the box while holding on to the healing soul of Pandora.

Loki: Go, AI!

Sophia: Now then...I command to all the Golden Key of Sages wielders, the Six Medallion Kings! Come forth of the free Shadows and aid me!

Opening it up again for it to charge up in a bit...those Shadows but Hans, Ellen, Picaro, and Kaguya know their part to light up first.

Picaro: Hey, we're up.

Kaguya: Of course.

Hans: Then let's do this together.

Ellen: And to never leave our sides again.

The four power the first one up.

Hans, Ellen, Picaro, and Kaguya: The Light King of Loss Souls!

All that the others do with Lava and Raiho was to wait now. Back in the the real world, Akane does her part for her Shadow to aid her real heroes.

Akane Shadow: The Shadow King of Hope!

In the jails back in the real world, the other three of their Shadow selves do their parts too.

Alice, Ango, and Mariko Shadows: The Earth King of Femme Fatable, Fire King of Attention, and Water King of Perfection!

And the final big jail of Konoe's Shadow to do his last part too.

Konoe Shadow: The Spirit King of Justice!

Now back at the main battle...

Sophia: We're all good to go!

Morgana: All right, the box is all set to power up too. Everyone together! Let's finish this for god!

Futaba: Powering all of you up and Loki included!

Doing this for all of the Arcanas do the same thing too. Arcana The World – Keiko, Arcana Justice – Akechi same with Loki, Arcana The Magician – Morgana, Arcana The Chariot – Ryuji, Arcana The Lovers – Ann, Arcana Emperor – Yusuke, Arcana Priestess – Makoto, Arcana The Hermit – Futaba, Arcana Empress – Haru, Arcana Hope – Sophia, Arcana Priest – Zenkichi, Arcana The Strength – Lavenza, Arcana The Hierophant -Sojiro, and Arcana The Judgement – Sae. With Sojiro, Sae, Miyako, and Akane do pray for hope too.

Sojiro: (Keiko. Futaba.)

Sae: (Makoto...Everyone!)

Miyako: (Hasegawa!)

Akane: (Big Brother! Dad! Phantom Thieves!)

Lava: (Keiko! Akechi! Morgana!)

Raiho: Joker...Hee-ho!

Hans: Skull! Panther!

Ellen: Fox! Queen!

Picaro: Oracle! Noir!

Kaguya: Sophie! Wolf! Loki!

This was it!

Sojiro, Sae, Akane, Miyako, Lava, Hans, Ellen, Picaro, Kaguya, Personas, and humans: Do it!

Now for the ultimate All-Out Attack of Futaba to power the others up and Loki powers to keep Pandora's Box to open on Demiurge to be weaken all over for the Phantom Thieves to do the finishing blow...

Keiko: Let's go!

Jumping at EMMA. Morgana gets grabbed by her many arms, but Morgana cuts on out of there. Then by Ann shooting skills on one red orb, allowing for Ryuji's metal pole to hit it even more to break. Then using her staff to be destroyed, not out of her hands from Makoto's super punch; to Yusuke's sword slashing skills to EMMA's back, another from Haru's rocket launcher hits on the same area. Nice hit! Two more hits, allowing for Zen to cut EMMA's hit as well...

Zen: Come on!

And lets not forget of him shooting at it next. Boom! To Sophia jumping up to use her yoyo's at the screen to be destroyed. Crashed! And finally...Keiko jumps in the from above to use her finish moves with Akechi's help too with his weapon to be put for the final hit.

Akechi: It's time to end this!

Keiko: OK! I'm ready, so let's go!

Futaba: Finish her off, Joker! Black Crow!

Using Keiko's dark daggers and Akechi's light saber sword to stab EMMA in the gem-like heart...One more push does it for the box to start sucking away EMMA to get stuck inside of it next. Soon for Pandora and her daughter Mia are ghosts to appear and use their powers to place the chains to trap this false god for good. Dropping for the others to return back down in their poses. The curse was about to break, EMMA was done for now.

Demiurge: No...Her and the daughter...But why? I am the god who would guide humanity...Loki, you and your people...forgive me...

One way to say forgiveness even after death, huh? Soon to break to get sucked into the box for it to turn into light from the inside but the Desires gems of the leftovers now free, and back into every human being now all over. All the Fake Shadows, Gegasites, and Sentries are all dead since their queen was killed. With the powers, Sophia destroys the box for good. Locked, sealed, and Loki to cut it all down for good.

Loki: Goodbye,e Shadow being.

And break! It was all gone now. The room changes colors of purple with the gem Desires breaking free. Wow, what a battle! Falling down for the Desires to be floating back to safety now, the curse was gone for all to go back to normal now. Only they in the Metaverse 'and a little for the other four remembered' and no one else does. Sojiro does...

Sojiro: Holy crap...!

Same with Sae, Miyako, and Akane are all okay.

Miyako: Well, I guess it all worked out.

Sae: Then what do we do now?

Akane: Do we need to do something...? (Good work, Phantom Thieves. You too, Dad and Big Brother.)

The three had to got one more thing to do. Same with Konoe to remember something a little.

Konoe: Was I dreaming?

Well, maybe a little. Like him the other three as well.

Alice: I thought we dreamt the same thing. We aided the Phantom Thieves.

Ango: Did we now? How odd.

Mariko: I don't know...I felt it too, we all did.

With the Jack, Black, and King Frosts all cheered with joy and victory 'and the other good Personas with Loki's family to join with Lava and the others. You know, with Odin and Thor too.

Picaro: Oh, hell yes! We won!

Kaguya: Ah, what a great victory...

Hugging each other, same with the other twins.

Hans: It's all over now at long last.

Ellen: Brother! We did it, we did it!

Raiho: Hee-ho!

Happy family of snowmen with Raiho, to Lava welcoming Loki's family. They cheer too like he was.

Lava: Ah, welcome back. Come, Loki's waiting for all of you. It all paid off in the end.

They follow her. While back in the real world, Owada comes out of hiding...

Owada: Me with a Jail...? Forget it! I'm out!

Getting kicked in the stomach with a gun pointed at his head, it was the real Sango Ichinose to the rescue.

Sango: Hello, dear. Can we talk?

Ha! He's busted now, she is doing the right thing now. As for Ichinose to see it all and goes to where the thieves were while following the other members from outside of the room.

Ichinose: I knew they would all do it. Right, time to go meet up.

Seeing the raining Desire gems for everyone was amazed.

Zen: Now this is something else...

Ann: Look at them all. There are so pretty...!

For Keiko and Akechi to hold each other and hugged for doing great today; Morgana as well, Sophia 'the most', Zen, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru kept on watching. Same with Loki to be seeing the spirits of Pandora for her body to fade into the light like her as a ghost and Mia as well, holding hands to finally be happy to pass on now. Soon for Ryuji to smile at Keiko and Akechi on another fine job they did again and saved all the world to be themselves again and not fused or cursed anymore for the light to shine on.

Morgana: Awesome.

Akechi: Joker, we finally did it.

Keiko: We did, Black Crow. Everyone, great job.

They felt tired to hold each other even more, those lovers will be fine. And one more thing to do with Loki before heading back to the real world again.

Loki: Finally...Pandora...Mia...It's me...

A touching moments on what will happen in the next chapter/episode of Loki to say his goodbyes to his wife and daughter in a bit. The last few is a good ending to happen soon enough. Trust me. At least the Phantom Thieves and others saved the world once again, they change things for good reasons.
