Persona 5 Strikers – From Light and Dark
By Tayla Drago
Episode #69 - The World is Free Again
What a battle that was, huh? In the last one...With EMMA/Demiurge finally sealed, destroyed by the cursed Pandora's Box, freeing the original wielder to set her spirit free, everyone else's Desires back to everyone in the real world 'only for those to remember from the event the Phantom Thieves did but not the normal humans for most'; and what a fine job it was for Sojiro keeps his cafe and neighbor hood in check next. While Sango's true self back in the real world finally meets up with Owada 'who finally comes out of hiding'.
Owada: Ah! Ah...Hey, what am I doing here? Why was I hiding. Oh, Sango. It's you.
Seeing his so call true love 'who ruined her life much more close to almost Kuon was', walks up in front of her boyfriend to make her a mess, from looks and mentally ill.
Sango: Hello, Owada. I'm glad you're here.
Owada: I don't know why either. I had a dream and...things gotten worse for me—I mean us! I'm going to see Akira Konoe in jail for using us, yes! That's right. Come on! We have to get out of here-! Oof!
Punching him to the ground and then kicking him in the stomach of all the anger Sango was getting out of her system because of Owada destroy her image.
Sango: Shut up! You not only made me into a monster, but...my family, my little sister's gone, my nephew was a mess, the four kids could've died for good, and...! I hate you, Owada!
Miyako: Freeze!
Hey! It was Miyako and her task members 'like Zen' arriving with Sae and Akane in the background to see two other bad guys get arrested for good.
Owada: You bitch...! Help! Get this mad woman away from me...! I don't know her!
Sae: Be we know you two. Jyun Owada and Sango Ichinose, I have a warrant for your arrest. Manipulating people, for degree murder on a hit and run, another one with a mother who ended up dead, and hacking into EMMA to now be shut down for good. Now then, Kaburagi, you're up and I'll prosecute them both in court.
Miyako: With pleasure, Prosecutor Sae Niijima, thank you for everything.
Sae: Likewise.
With Owada trying to talk his way out of this mess...
Owada: What are you all blabbering about?!
Sango: It's true. That night, he took me in for my program to aid him with my sister, she was used when we threat her, Kuon had nothing to do with it, I made EMMA. I paid Konoe to do everything. And...I'm done. I'm giving myself in to testify in court about everything Owada used me and made me become a...disgusting pig. I'll serve time and lose wait too, so take me away.
Owada: You sold out bitch! After everything I did for you!
Sango: Forget it, we're done! And I'm not doing this for myself...It's for everyone who died from the project, my sister, Kuon's future, my nephew, the kids, and...Hasegawa's little girl for losing her mother. I'm sorry for everything.
Well, that acting from Owada's done for now.
Sae: I say we got our proof.
Owada: No...After comin this far with Shido's help...! I don't wanna go to jail-! Oof!
Falling down again, Akane opened a closet door for him to trip and go out cold to finally get taken in to the police station.
Akane: Finally, I got you at last.
Miyako: Nice one, kid. Now take them away. Let's go, Ichinose-san. Obey and maybe we'll lighten your sentence a little.
Handcuffed for Sang to come quietly and Owada out cold 'in all silly like', it was finally done. Akane was happy to leave a video for Akechi and her father for this victory, while doing more of her work way later on down the line. Still, it was finally over.
Akane: (I have to do something for Dad and Big Brother now. The Phantom Thieves are the best.)
While getting the area cleared up...
Sae: So your boss was used by Owada's doing?
Miyako: Under Konoe's orders no doubt, but he'll be fine. And you'll aid us once more on this case?
Sae: I'll stand by the Hasegawa family and you in order to see Owada behind bars. Also, I'm not a prosecutor anymore, I'm a defense lawyer. But I have a friend I know who can...make a deal for us.
They shake on it. Right, Sae's a defense lawyer after all to keep everything in good check lately.
Miyako: Right...In any case, let's do this right. Kid, we'll take you back to Kyoto in a bit.
Sae: Quite welcome. And Akane, thank you for everything too. I'll tell Makoto you said hi too.
Akane: Ah, right! Thank you both.
Now to take the two bad guys away...
Sango: I can't say on what Owada did will break back the man's wife and what he's been doing lately on others, but I will say this...If I didn't have the prank gone wrong to have two people died and the other for my little sister with Shuzo that time, none of this would've happened. Still, I'm glad to say it and say goodbye to Kuon once more. (I have a lot to think about now.) OK, officers, take me away. I'm ready.
Sae: Then let's go. You'll be protected during the next event. With your help against Owada, you're important witness.
Sango: Got it.
And that's that. Sae and Miyako have a lot of work to do on Sango and Owada 'the most' soon enough. With Akane doing other things, and Sojiro go back on what things was once before the event, with a cigarette smoke...
Sojiro: After that mess, I still go it, huh? Yep.
What an odd but great guy, huh? So now back in the Metaverse world for the Gegasites, their queen, Sentries, and Fake Shadows are no more. Personas and lots of Frosts families – Jack, Black, and King all did wonderful in battle. Even Lavenza, Raiho, Kaguya, Picaro, Hans, and Ellen on their ends.
Hans: Did we win?
Ellen: I think we did.
Kaguya: And sadly, my sister and I aren't the medallion owners anymore.
Picaro: But that only means the curse is finally gone to go for someone in spirit form to hide it forever. Hell yes!
Kaguya: Is that so?
Picaro: Ah...I don't know, something like it...Ah, shut it! I just know, Kaguya!
I think it's safe to say, that the item will never be used and keep as an old artifact now forever.
Lava: Hahaha...How funny. There's need to worry now. The original Pandora will finally be resting within this world with her daughter to also have the item hidden away from anyone from ever using it again. I assure to you all that the Gegasite herself EMMA of Demiurge is now gone. Thank you again. And since you twins are from Personas to become guardians here and the Persona-Users can live here as backup wardens in the Velvet Room for my Master.
Offering Kaguya, Picaro, Hans, and Ellen a job to work for Lava to say and give them places to live. Well they take it? Other than Raiho will stick around to aid the Phantom Thieves again 'if so', for his family left him up in the air to cheer for a victory of winning.
Raiho: Hee-ho!
Jack Frosts, Black Frosts, and King Frosts: Hee-ho, hee-ho, we have won! Victory for everyone! Hee-ho!
With that going on, what about the four kids?
Hans: Jobs in the Velvet Room as wardens, hmm...? It's a nice offer. What do you think, Dear Sister? We can do something there and in the real world again.
Ellen: Well...Maybe we can do both. First allow for Brother me and to do things in the real world. Maybe we can help the victims Alice, Natsume, and Hyodo on their skills without cheating and getting back to society like us. Go out for our own vacation, then when the time's right...
Hans: Yes, we can come back here with our Personas. We can show them from that world more while we're out. Maybe I can ask Alice Hiiragi on a date...Please? I think she's been right for me all along since she's change thanks to the Phantom Thieves' help. Come on, Sister...
Oh, boy...More jealousy? Nah, not this time. It was t he real them, the rest were the clones once. But not anymore.
Ellen: What? I never said not to date, I hated you picking lots of women but one and getting into Keiko's way almost.
Hans: But that was our clones! Yours loved the other me more than brother and sister love.
Ellen: I know, I still love cute stuff, and I see you thought really hard. And for me to ask Ango Natsume out, then...yeah. So we go out while helping them and Hyodo make a change in each of their home areas. Yeah, and then we can come back here for sure.
I think their minds have been made up.
Picaro: And since we can't be human anymore...Ah, what the hell. We were given a second chance as Personas to aid you guys, and it's been a while since we were back in the human world. So, what do you think Kaguya?
Kaguya: Hmmm...Well I say it'll be fun getting out throughout the Guyvers' cell phones to see the wonderful things. A real vacation this time, then let's do it and then come back home. From time to time.
Then it has been decided.
Lava: It's fine. You four take your time when you know where to find me. A key to the Velvet Room, take it. Don't lose it now. Until we meet again. I must go back home now. And Raiho, you'll become the best guard for me and your family are more than welcome to stick around, now if you will excuse me. (Keiko. Morgana. I'll talk with the others real soon.)
And off Lavenza 'Lava' goes once again. With the other Personas and Raiho's family take off too with Raiho lead the four where the Phantom Thieves were at before taking off as well.
Raiho: Hee-ho! Hee-ho!
Picaro: Hey frosty? What's the rush?
Kaguya: Oh right! I think he wants for us to follow him to where the Phantom Thieves are. Come along now.
Doing so for the five take care of things before than take off next.
Hans: A key to get from our hold home into here again, not bad. Come, dear sister. Can't leave without saying out goodbyes first.
Ellen: You got it, Brother. Wait up!
While they make their way on the elevator 'and other ones as well', while up top for Loki sees the spirits of Pandora 'the real one' as she takes the glowing gem of the Pandora's Box leftover since the curse has been broken. With him going to say his last goodbyes to his once true love; with Keiko/Joker, Akechi/Black Crow, Morgana/Mona, Ryuji/Skull, Ann/Panther, Yusuke/Fox, Makoto/Queen, Futaba/Oracle, Haru/Noir, Sophia/Sophie, and Zen/Wolf watch and hear on what happens next for these once love birds. With their powers coming back to them and their Personas to be back to normal now.
Zen: A ghost?
Akechi: It's Pandora. Let's Loki has his last moments with her, he did so much so it's only right.
Patting each others backs...
Zen: I understand, really. I'll allow it.
Keiko: This is something for Loki to do. After him being an enemy, he's now a trustworthy alley and Persona part of Black Crow himself.
And what a moment this looked like...Not only Loki sees Pandora's ghost, but also their child, Mia. Remember – her brother's shadow cursed her to be his and Loki's child. So yeah, that's what it really was.
Loki: Pandora. Mia. It's you two. Oh right, as ghosts. It's like we switched places, huh? Still, the nightmare's finally over. The box is destroyed with Demiurge finally gone. That and the Gegasite that destroyed both our lives; as well as stopping your brother's shadow. He's in a better place now, as well as the researchers too. Shuzo, the kid's mother, the four kids are fine too, and...well, I got some help. Thank the Phantom Thieves for this. I made alright friends and Joker taught me true love, the one I miss was you and not just power with it. Although I can't bring you two back, but watch over me. I'll move on to love another...someday.
The two girls smiled for them to hug Loki to make him cry for the first time ever.
Sophia: What a very touching scene here, as anyone would like to call it. I'm glad my real self can finally rest in peace.
Seeing her human self was odd, but that didn't bother Sophia one bit.
Zen: The case is finally closed at last to see it all the way in the end.
Akechi: Yes, so much good and one who's part me changed a lot to come back from the dead.
Continuing on for the item to glow up for a portal to be made, it was time for the ghosts to finally move on in the after life of the Metaverse world.
Loki: You two are going now? Seems fair. Fine, I'm just glad I got to talk to you both. Mia, be a good girl with your mother. And Pandora, rest on. I will move on as well, but I'll never stop loving you. Goodbye then. I hate saying so or being a long one, but I'll never forget our time together. So, rest in peace and all.
And from there, the two girls with the item fly up into the sky of the Metaverse and resting in peace for a long time now. Healed thanks to Keiko's powers did the trick. From smiling and embracing their love to finally move on, so it wasn't all bad. Loki shows real emotion to change as well. It touched everyone, and for some to keep to himself only.
Morgana: Loki's crying?
Loki: Shut it, cat. I did my part, so the deal has been set. I want to be a fine warrior of this world to protect mine and yours. When I see Thor and Odin again, I will tell them everything.
Keiko: (He's so bad at hiding things from everyone.) Well Loki, you can tell them yourselves right now if you want to.
Yeah, because Thor, Odin, and Loki's other family has arrive to see and hear the whole thing when Pandora and Mia's spirits moved on.
Loki: Father? Brother? Everyone...?
Thor: Hi, Loki. Long time, no see I guess.
This was hard to take in here. Either way, none of Loki's step family of a half breed were all alive and none of them never died at all for the past centuries. Good to know.
Loki: So after all I did to you, all of you guys got trapped, I died to come back, the whole mess to get set up, and...You can still forgive me?
Odin: Hold it, boy. Allow me to speak to you. There's something I should've said a long time ago.
Loki: To me...?
Then let's hear what Odin has to say next. Seeing other good Personas in the world was something else, huh? With Hans, Ellen, Kaguya, Picaro, and Raiho arriving to also see and hear the rest. Like the other thieves too.
Ryuji: Other Personas with no Persona-Users?
Makoto: Not quiet. Let's see what happens to Loki next.
Yusuke: Something good? Loki changed a lot even after we changed his heart.
Haru: I think it'll be okay.
Ann: Yeah, I think so too.
Futaba: So no problems, right? Just sit back and watch the show go.
Let's see how it does turn out for this Persona. Good think Keiko and Akechi got their old outfits back and their other one to stay, with Robin Hood can be summoned too by Akechi at anytime now.
Odin: I knew...I knew you were being set up by Necronomicon doing by becoming Pandora's brother's own shadow who gone rouge. His last dying breath causes the Gegasite of the box to live on...All because from the war that Zeus was mad, but we made a bet. If one guarded for the other to follow, that was you at best, we would keep peace. But Zeus would've killed you first, so I sealed you with a curse if you did died, well...you would come back to learn something from a change of heart. By the time the original Pandora owner died, I had to save you, only for the queen to get to us after Mia was killed for knowing so much, and by her own twisted uncle too. I took you in after your kind were killed in a war we fought together and stopped, only to make you suffer more. All of it. We're sorry. We're not asking much for your forgiveness, other than we're all grateful you saved us from the long sleep and energy draining to finally make a better world again. It'll take some time though. So now you know, and we'll leave it be now-!
After hearing the real true, Loki hugs Odin and Thor of his own way of saying thank you.
Thor: Brother?
Loki: Shut up...! I get it! I was stubborn to listen and played by a back stabbing bitch...! I know everything, I and I still miss her and my child...! But I'll be fine. Thank you, everyone.
They smiled, looks like Loki is back in the family now.
Thor: Anytime.
Odin: You'll love again, after I loss your mother to have a wonderful life for me, then so can you, Loki. Now, no more sadness. Let's toast now and make a new land of our new home here by morning! Come now!
A nice way to have a good part to come around, yeah it'll be fine. Even with one girl of the triad was winking at Loki...yeah, maybe there was still hope for him to have love yet. Off screen for his relationship to happen, but it does.
Thor: I think this only shows some good things for you now, brother. Welcome back.
Loki: I can still help out and travel at once, so apology excepted. Still, there's no place like home. (With one girl I can make mine for the better in a bit.)
All that has been said than done 'so far', everyone cheers today to make a change for tomorrow for another victory and war is finally over. So yeah, they were all grateful to the Phantom Thieves. Maybe not the normal humans will remember this, but those who fought 'other than Sango, Sae, Akane, Miyako, and Sojiro' will remember this too. As for Ichinose to finally come out of hiding to be all cleared out.
Ichinose: Right...I need to go find them.
Even for Shuzo, Mia, Pandora, her brother, Akechi's mother, and the real Dr. Kano Guru looked once more for Akechi, Hans, Ellen, Kaguya, and Picaro to see once more. Heck, even the spirit of Zen's wife Aoi was there in spirit form too.
Akechi: (Goodbye, Mother. Shuzo. Ms. Hasegawa. Thank you for everything. I'll let Akane know you said hi the most. And doctor, I'll keep checking on the four kids if you want me too, that goes double for the real Dr. Guru as well. Aunty, I'm glad we did save you, well...Sophia did that part, and Sango to face justice. At long last, I'm finally free.)
Even Zen sees some of it too.
Zen: (I'll let Akane know you said hi too, honey. I love you.) I think Kaburagi finally got a hold of Sango and Owada. Good.
Sophia: And for me to see other human emotions so far like my human self, this is a mission accomplished for all of us.
Zen: You got that right.
With a video message coming from the screen for Akane to send out to the thieves on something, it'll be a while to see her again someday 'off screen as well'.
Keiko: Hey, a video send to us from Akane.
Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, and Haru: From Akane?
Morgana: Really now? On what?
Futaba: Putting it up on the big screen...now!
Let's listen and hear what it was going to say...
[Akane: Hello, Phantom Thieves. If you're seeing this video, don't worry, this is just for all of you. No fans watching on the internet to not know your true identities but me. After saving my shadow to remember everything to aid you all in the end from the other world you're all in and the real world, I understand everything now. It looks like Sango and Owada are going to be questioned now thanks to Ms. Niijima and Kaburagi's jobs, with some help on some man from Leblanc in Yongen-Jaya...So, he came in handy too. It's thanks to you, Dad and Big Brother...you two and the others got the job done like you all promised while saving the world from whatever was trying to kill everyone. But I'm OK now to go back home in Kyoto real soon. I promise. To those who I won't be able to see until the next time, I wanted to leave this video out to all of you, so it's okay. Before I make more videos, I'm going to work hard for a middle school student, so call me sometimes. Don't forget now. Futaba, be a fun nerd like me. Yusuke, keep your art work going. Makoto, thank you for helping me study again. Haru, you make sure great food by hand like the curry. Ryuji, you are very funny to put a smile on our faces. Ann, your beauty tips do come really handy. Morgana, you're an odd lucky black cat. Same with the...some app name Sophia? Is it? I wish I have something like it. Keiko, you keep my Big Brother happy to keep on loving him no matter what. My Mom can finally be revenge. And Dad, hey...I understand now when you told me what really happened. I get it, you did all of this for me, for those children to be saved, but they're OK now. I'm happy. You and Big Brother are the best. I love you both. I know Dad will be home soon; while Big Brother will soon go back to his new home with his soon to be wife, right? Yeah, you better. All kidding aside...I hope to get invited at the wedding! For now, all of you get some rest after today so thank you very much again. Phantom Thief of Hearts. See ya.]
End of the video there, a touching one at that. And so for Zen to be crying with tears of joy, he and Akechi can finally rest easily now.
Zen: Thank you, Akane...
Akechi: I think it's her way of saying thank you to all of us. Master, we finally showed Akane who can trust us now. And you too, more than anything.
Zen: Yeah, I'm glad. (That's my girl.)
The last we seen of Akane Hasegawa, she will be fine now. Getting back home with Sae and Miyako's help, her grandparents and friends help her live a normal life from there on out. Same with Sae to be out for a bit and knows of Makoto will hang out with each other as well. And now to get back with the Phantom Thieves with Loki, Raiho, Kaguya, Picaro, Hans, Ellen, and the others while Odin and the rest with Thor too as they all celebrated.
Yusuke: Is it...finally over?
Nothing left but to those who are only in the room and the freed Desires to return to their owners.
Futaba: Mmhm, no mistake there. I'm not picking up any enemy readings.
Ann: Sooo...!
Yep, they've done it.
Loki: The curse is finally over. And my family...
Ryuji: HELL YEEEAAAH! WE DID IT!
Raiho: Hee-ho! Hee-ho! Hee-ho!
This is a good way to be celebrating like Loki's family right now and the others, the Phantom Thieves all did a fine job.
Thor: I don't know what else to say, but for you humans to do all of this for us and for Loki, thank you again.
Being pleased is something else, huh? Even the twin girls likes it a lot.
Picaro: Heh, all in a days work. This super hero thing isn't so bad. Or being new Persona beings for me and Kaguya.
Kaguya: It does make you feel wonderful even more for doing some good deeds like these things. I like it too.
All of them were very happy for all of this in saving the world once again.
Haru: Yes, we really, really did!
Makoto: We scraped by...That was unbelievably rough.
Morgana: That should've taken care of the Jails, too.
Not only for the Jails to go away soon in the Metaverse this time 'with some things to stay around once and the Velvet Room', so it was all in a days work.
Loki: Those are a few things I won't be missing anytime soon. Listen, Kid. Joker. You guys...It's hard for me to say this part, but...
Having trouble saying anything, but hey...they like Loki just the way he is now since he came back as a ghost to be brought back to life.
Ellen: Oh, I know! Just say these words, "Thank you". And you're done.
Hans: Come now. How hard can it be to say those words only? Huh?
As really shy as Loki was deep down, he finally says it with true feeling without hiding it so much than he still is or barely use to.
Loki: Fine, I guess...Thank you. And I'm sorry for what I've done before you changed my heart.
Keiko: It's okay, Loki. We all know. You're part of the team now. Raiho, Hans, Ellen, Kaguya, Picaro, Sophie, and Wolf. Never forget what we all did together.
Like his family did, and so are the Phantom Thieves too.
Akechi: See, Loki? Now that wasn't so bad to say at all, wasn't it? We did both of our deals in the end. We also learned, been saved, did something right, and such. You should be proud as a member of the Phantom Thieves.
Same with the other four with Raiho as well as he waves his arms around with joy.
Hans: Of course.
Ellen: Hell yes!
Picaro: Right!
Kaguya: Team work.
Loki: Yeah, I guess so. It feels nice...Still part of your Persona, Kid...Akechi, as well as Robin Hood is too.
A bit of a start, but Loki will get the hang of things in no time.
Zen: One thing leaves to another, huh? I like it. Also...Top-notch work, you guys. That was some legitimate here action back there.
Oh please, Zen and Sophia helped them out a lot too.
Futaba: Why're you talking like you weren't in there? You're a here too, Wolf.
Yusuke: As well as Sophie.
From there, Sophia felt something before EMMA was destroyed. Huh? What was it though? For only her and Raiho know about it.
Sophia: ...
Ann: Sophie?
Raiho: Hee-ho...
Snapping out of it and back to reality now.
Sophia: Oh! Sorry...I'm a...hero. A knight in shining armor. That doesn't sound bad at all, right Joker? Black Crow?
Keiko: Not bad at all. We did it.
Akechi: Yes. Not as good as "phantom thief."
Yeah, you see? It was all in a days work. With Akechi and Keiko to say that the most while holding hands with each other of their love. So, I guess we'll hear on what Sophia felt out in a bit later of the story before it ends then.
Zen: A knight in shining armor, huh? Never expected my little joke to actually come true. Sophie, you're not wrong there. So, what are you four going to do? And you, Raiho?
Good question – they each tell the rest while Raiho tells Sophia and Morgana to translate back to them. He can't talk much but call Keiko by her code name only.
Hans: Well, we are now wardens to Lavenza to work for her soon. She said well done too. So, Sister and I are going to do some good charity work in your world and come back and forth back here. With our Personas on guard duty. As well as going on a date with Alice while helping her on community service. As well as Hyodo too, from starting to date, and aiding on others is for the best.
Ellen: Aiding others is fine. While I help out Natsume to go out with him too...I want to make a store of cute things from Anime fans. We learn in life to change things on our own to follow our dreams too. Me and Brother here wants to help to those with no home have a home. It's thanks to you, Phantom Thieves, we know what's right and wrong. The starts up for the Guyver twins and older step-sisters' journey is only the beginning.
Picaro: My sister and I being Personas to see the world with their help and staying here...it won't be so bad. We'll be a family in different looks and such, so don't you guys worry about us now.
Kaguya: Yes, we'll be just fine. If these two can do things of a better change, then there's no need to worry about us anymore.
As for Raiho, he'll stick around with Sophia from the Metaverse and on Keiko's phone to go back and forth.
Loki: Well, there you have it. Everyone's got their parts to do. Even your own Personas.
Same with the other Personas as well. Same with Arsene, Zorro, Captain Kidd, Carmen, Goemon, Johanna, Necronomicon, Milady, Pandora, Robin Hood, Valjean, and Loki himself with his family will all be fine.
Zorro: We will meet again.
Captain Kidd: Well done.
Carmen: Keep having strong hearts.
Goemon: Never lose yourselves to anything.
Johanna: For none of you will never be alone.
Necronomicon: And never will be.
Milady: We will meet again someday if your world is ever in danger.
Robin Hood: We'll never leave your sides.
Valjean: We're all one of the same being.
Pandora: Never forget it.
Arsene: Knowing this, you know who to trust in most of all.
Strong words there from all of the Personas, huh?
Keiko: Arsene... (Thank you, everyone.)
Now before heading out, a few more things to be done...First one, Loki wanted to do something nice for the group for the hell of it. Aw, he really is caring.
Loki: Hey, let Keiko and Akechi have a practice wedding here. Still counts and knowing what you two will be doing in the future. I just think...since we won't see each other for a while to do something special.
And so, they all agree with this idea.
Zen: Hey, good idea, Loki.
Sophia: Yes, let's do it. My first view of a wedding.
Keiko: Why not? Shall we, Akechi-Cun?
Akechi: Yes. Princess, let's make it a good one on our first try.
And so they do with some help. With the men side – Ryuji, Zen, Yusuke, Raiho, Hans, Thor, and Odin to stand on one side 'same with the other male Personas'; as well as the female ones on the other one...Same with Ann, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sophia, Ellen, Kaguya, and Picaro waited for Akechi to stand first. While Morgana walked Keiko down to where Akechi waited for her 'and then takes his spot with the other males'. Soon, Loki makes the speech of their wedding things to make it sort but it'll count.
Loki: Well, dearly beloved ones, I guess...We are all gathered here today to see these two I know who saved me and brought back from the dead to show of their love to vows to shine on for good. From the ace detective prince and a woman born with a gift who I once have a crush on, to show me what true love really is. Now for you, Kid, do you take Keiko to be your beloved wife forever?
Akechi: I do.
Loki: Good to know, Goro Akechi/Crow/Black Crow. And do you, Keiko Amamiya/Joker, take this kid to be your beloved husband forever?
Keiko: I do.
Loki: Well, there you have. With witnesses to hear and see it all. And now, time to say your true feelings to one another.
Let's hear it out then...
Keiko: Akechi-Cun, when you saved me from the teenage thugs and saw me, it was love at first sight. You help me still be myself. Scared at first to slowly fall for you so much. We understand each other to be the same, with the powers we were born with and use for good. From changing your heart to make more friends and bring real justice against your own father, I'm happy we're living together right now.
Akechi: My Princess, when I did save you...it was love at first sight. Working hard while attended high school, I had fans. It was hard to make any friends, lots of fan girls wanted me way too much. But you're far different who changed and save my life from my Shadow to become good now. With Shido now put behind bars, I'm very happy to be living with you. Along with having real friends and doing two jobs at once. A detective and Phantom Thief member.
Time for the ring parts to happen on Keiko's finger and another for Akechi.
Loki: With the speeches there, not bad. And the rings are on each fingers? Good. Now for the grand finale, by the power given to me and such crap...I now and soon to be happening to say you two are have become husband and wife. And for that, you may now kiss each other. (I'm happy you two I have found true love. Keiko, thank you for saving me. Not once, but twice now to be given a second chance in life for good; and for you Akechi to have a god life of my other self to be the real you, never change.)
And so with a hug, kiss, and cheering from the others to make it count...And Keiko throwing flowers to Sophia to love them, as she kisses Raiho on the cheek to like this feeling of real love.
Sophia: The wedding practice was beautiful.
Raiho: Hee-ho.
Zen: That's my student and boy.
I think with these two getting married soon will count for something.
Akechi: I think it went well.
Keiko: We'll do great for the real thing later on.
And now a few words from Odin himself...
Odin: A toast to the Phantom Thieves, other Persona friends, my family, Loki, and such on a fine job saving their world. And ours too. For our biggest enemy is finally gone, along with the curse, and to all who are now free with the humans' Desires back to where they belong in. To this, we hope to see them again one day. Cheers!
Thor, Loki, Picaro, Kaguya, Arsene, Robin Hood, Zorro, Captain Kidd, Carmen, Goemon, Johanna, Necronomicon, Milady, Pandora, Valjean: Cheers!
Raiho: Hee-ho!
Hans, Ellen, Ryuji, Morgana, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Zen, Sophia, Keiko, and Akechi: Cheers!
Soon enough, it was time to say their goodbyes while Odin, Thor, and other Personas all partied it out.
From hand shaking with the Personas of their Persona-Users, to then seeing the four will be going their own path now.
Kaguya: Thank you again, Phantom Thieves. Once again, we're truly in your doubt forever.
Picaro: Here, here! Let's do again sometimes to chat or if the worlds need saving again.
Akechi: I hope you two will be fine. You two are still my half sisters. I'll make sure Aunty Kuon is fine, while Aunty Sango serves some time.
Holding hands and such, those girls will be good.
Zen: I hope there are no more clones of the Guyver twins either. Still, take a easy. You still have Akechi as your step-brother. Don't forget. And I got your guys' backs.
Same with the Guyver twins as well.
Hans: Thanks, Hasegawa. And yes, we're the real deal. So, we'll keep you and Akechi posted if so. It's time to find real love and do some good.
Ellen: Same here. Some cute things and such, it's all good. Miss you guys. Let's hang out against sometime. Morgana. Raiho. I'll miss you two...come here.
Hugging them of their cuteness.
Morgana: Ah! Quit doing that!
Ellen: Ah, I'll miss you too.
Keiko: And yes, we'll hang out again soon.
With some hand shakes, patting on on the backs, hugs, and a little kiss to the hand.
Hans: It was fun, ladies. Sadly, we have to do our parts now. Akechi, keep your fiance happy.
Akechi: Heh, believe me I will. And Loki, I'm glad we changed you so much.
Loki: Yeah, same here. Thank you for everything.
Now to say their goodbyes to Raiho too.
Futaba: Later, Frosty the Snowman.
Ryuji: It was fun, dude?
Yusuke: Even if you and Sophia can't return with us, we can still talk through Ms. Keiko's cellphone.
Haru: Well, it won't be as bad as it really looks.
Ann: So it won't be half as bad at all.
Makoto: Keep an eye on your family while you're at it.
Zen: And last but not least, the AI helper's next. It's been fun in person that is.
With Raiho hugging the others, same with Sophia to know this feeling, as she hugs Raiho and Keiko the most to like the feeling of caring for humans to have.
Sophia: So this is a hug, huh? I like it a lot.
Keiko: It proves of a true heart to have, Sophia, I'm glad you really tried it out in person here.
What a nice thing the rest happened in this chapter/episode, huh? Yeah, a nice one in saying their goodbyes. With Hans and Ellen leave with the avatars on their cell phones of Kaguya and Picaro go take a real vacation, as they leave the Metaverse world first.
Picaro: Laters, guys!
Kaguya: Until we meet again.
Hans: If you hear from us again, then...Well, we'll be on the news on good things. Fare well.
Ellen: Yea, what he said. So long for now, farewell, and we all make a great team. Bye!
With Raiho waving to them, so did the others too.
Zen: So long! Don't cause too much trouble than your clones once were!
Akechi: (See you guys some other time.)
Keiko: Bye, everyone.
I think Akechi and Zen can call this a case closed. As well as the four kids move on better lives now, they know they'll be okay on their own from here on out. And so, the room started to shake all over, finally leaving for the Jails to all go away. For the Metaverse to all go back to normal now.
Loki: Well, there's your queue for you guys to leave. I got a party and plans to fix things the next morning to do.
With Odin and Thor waiting for Loki to join them in a bit.
Morgana: Looks like it's starting-the fusion reality and the Metaverse is coming undone. Now's the time to make our escape!
Futaba: Oh yeah, we need to bring Ichinose with us!
She does get out with Raiho and Sophia's help to get the job done.
Sophia: I will go get her. You should all head back now. Anyways, we'll talk later and Raiho to see too. Say your goodbyes too.
Raiho: Hee-ho! Hee-ho!
They do so and the rest was their time to leave of their powers, looks, Morgana's true form, and such will be leaving until next time. Whenever might happen some other time...
Morgana All right, let's get out of here!
With Ichinose getting out next with Sophia and Raiho's help, now the Phantom Thieves leave too.
Akechi: Well, Loki, until we meet again.
Keiko: Bye, Loki. And try not to be a stranger anymore.
A nice thing to end it all, Loki will be just fine now.
Loki: (Until next time then.) Got it, Kid. Keiko, thanks again for everything. All of you, your Personas will be just fine. Now go on, time for all you humans to go on home.
And with that...Loki, Sophia, Raiho, Odin, Thor, and the other Personas say their goodbyes with the other humans and Morgana 'back in his cat form' do so. Keiko, Morgana, Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Zen, Ichinose and Akechi all make it home. With EMMA shut down at long last, the app was long gone now.
Raiho: Hee-ho! Joker! Joker!
Sophia: The Phantom Thieves and Ichinose have returned back to the real world.
Thor: Then we'll meet with them again one day.
Odin: Good for them. Now we feast and drink until morning. Let's party! Come, friends. You too, Loki, don't be a party pooper again.
Time to eat, drink, and party a lot for the world to go back to normal now as the Jails and the EMMA thing were all shut down now.
Loki: It's a good life for me now. (The Phantom Thieves are still something else.)
Dancing with the woman he likes more, Loki was going to be fine. Same with the other Frosts family, Personas, good ones, Odin, and Thor will all be fine. The next chapter/episode will shows will happens next back in the real world for sure. Nice way to say their goodbyes on some parts so far and others to carry on in the future. The real ones, no longer the clones of the bad ones anymore, so good to know.
