Koncer: During a good portion of this stories early development, Royal was NOT out in the west. By the time it was out, we where past the point we could accuratly add such elements. And even then, Ghost and I did not get a chance to buy and play, let alone try and complete, Royal until earlier this year. And I still have yet to finish it because I was in the middle of a fun on the vanilla version. But then we got Striker's and that was then the priority.

WilsontheBlackDragonofDarkness: We do not know.

delubyo420: The Velvet Room attendents have always been a bit quasai dimensional shrugs

GreatLight432: Yes, it is Ms redacted

Here are some reviews answered by Ghost:

GreatLight432: Well, you'll have to wait and see what we've got planned this time.

Sir Shark of The Acrylic: WHOO-HOO!

delubyo420: Of course, we can't not have Door-Kun mentioned here.

JetstreamGenesis: laughs Oh... yeah.

WilsontheBlackDragonofDarkness: No, you're not being rude. Thinks about it More than right now. I think. We might be at the half-way mark.

UltimateCCC: Well, you're not wrong there.

Xerzo LotCN: Yeah, there's a lot being done in the last few chapters. And the problems with melting down a gold statue? 1: It's a gold statue, the fact that teens have it on hand will cause concerns. "Where did they get it? Is it stolen?" Even adding the fact of where they'd even find a goldsmith/furnace to melt it is a problem too. 2: That amount of gold (if it's been melted to bars) on the market will make ripples and probably lessen the value of gold in the long run.

Gloria Victis: On my word for it? Very well.

Koncer: Here's the thing, when we started preparing this fic P5R wasn't out yet. So we couldn't just add Sumire out of the blue, plus we don't have a positive opinion of her. I'm sure that there are various people who do like Sumire, but we don't. But yeah, we planned to have Narukami involved at this point.

Disclaimer: We do not own Persona 5. That belongs to Atlus.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

CORRECTED VERSION: Fixed the issues with Kawakami's name here. I have no idea what happened there, as Ghost and I DID spell it correctly in the PM threads. I am blaming my spell checker. Thanks everyone for pointing it out!

And, once again, here we are!

Returning once again!

And it is time... to finish the first OC Palace!

Yeah!

Oh, and hint? We have three more OC Palace's in the future. Try and guess who the Palace owners are, hahaha.


Persona 5 New Game Plus, Joker's Second Chance
Chapter 38
Final Charge, the Puppet Principal


The school-like Palace was deadly silent as several figures rushed through. The Phantom Thieves were silent as shadows, the sounds of their feet were the only sounds they were making.

Joker led the charge, Skull and Queen flanking him being the most athletic, Fox and Panther behind Joker, with Dove, Mona and their newest member Fleur in the rear-guard. They where on the second floor, back to were they where when they found Fleur prisoner. "Our classroom is there." Joker said as the group stopped at a corner, hiden away. Around the corner, against the wall, was where their classroom was in the real world. More or less.

"So round the corner and down the hall." Queen nodded "The Principal's office is past the teachers lounge. And with Fleur here, we can get in there."

"Onward!" Oracle called out, held up by Joker on his shoulders.

"Careful Oracle, Joker needs to move easily." Fleur commented, trying not to stare at her student

"He did what?" Panther whispered

"He did. Right on my backside." Queen nodded

...

"Good." Dove smiled "You have a good ass."

...

"Dove!" Queen hissed

"What? We are dating." Panther shrugged "This stuff is normal Makoto. You need to learn to get use to it."

"I know but... it just caught me off guard. I can't know if I can handle sporadic-"

SLAP!

"That?" Dove smirked.

SLAP!

"Or that." Panther smirked as well

"Y-You two!" She blushed as she rose both hands to try and defend her ass... only to get her revenge on them by slapping both their asses.

SLAP!
SLAP!

"GAH!" they yelped.

"How do you like it?" She asked, her hands stinging a little from the slap.

...

"Fine." Panther smirked as she shook her hips a bit

"Felt quite nice actually." Dove agreed with a small blush but a soft smile

"... Oh crap." Queen gulped nervously as she realised who she was dealing with

"Everything okay back there?" Fox inquired, having heard the slaps.

"Yep, everything's good." Panther reassured.

"Okay, Fleur; you're up." Skull spoke as they had arrived at a large set of doors as she rolled her eyes, getting ready.

'Okay, Sadayo... You've got this.' She thought to herself as she grabbed the handles of the door and began to turn it.

With a cloud 'CLICK! CLUNK!' they opened.

"Nicely done." Joker praised softly

"Thank you, though it felt like I didn't do much." She admitted.

"Trust me, Fleur. Without you here, we wouldn't have made it this far." Mona answered as they entered the office... And they all froze in horror at what they saw

The teachers were strung up like meat puppets, faceless-mask bound with the kanji for the 'YESSIR' on their lips, their limbs strung up by scholarship ribbons, pet collars that had their names. Their clothing was almost stapled onto them with finery, but their skin looked sallow and weak.

"Oh god..." Skull mumbled as he covered his mouth

Oracle shuddered and hid behind Joker, this was... hard for her to look at.

Fox turned away, this... hit too close to home as well.

Panther's pink gloves almost ripped from how tight she clenched her fist.

Dove covered her eyes, looking away.

"How? How could he see the teachers as... as puppet 'yes men'?" Queen asked.

Fleur gripped the handle of her riding crop and twisted it just slightly, feeling disgusted by this horrible man's thoughts towards them.

Joker placed his hand in her shoulder, supportingly. He gave a reassuring nod as he knew they would change his mind and heart to not think this again. "Now... Let's find that treasure." He smirked

"Yes... Let's." She nodded as they walked through the Teacher's Lounge and into the Principal's office, kicking it open in her anger. Inside was, what could only be described as, a glory-hounding warmonger egotist's room. Wall to wall was covered in golden plaques, recommendations, scholarships and famous names and achievements. Kobayakawa's self-defined portrait where he's shaking hands with faceless people which had the inscription 'My Students'.

"Jesus, this guy really is full of himself." Skull commented. "How can he hoist himself up while dragging everyone else down?"

"I thought you'd be used to this sort of stuff by now, Skull." Panther commented. "Remember Kamoshida?"

"How can I forget?" Skull answered. "But not even that Palace wasn't as gaudy as this place."

"Golden statues depicting his trophies and Olympic wins?" Dove responded.

"You know what I mean." Skull sighed.

"So where's the treasure?" Queen asked as she searhed.

"It should be round here..." Joker whispered.

BOOM!

"What was that?" Fox called out. The group frozen at they heard an almost disgusting clicking noise fill the air.

Oracle shuddered as she heard that. It was like the sound of a clicking insect approaching closer and closer.

"Everyone, get close!" Ren ordered

SHINK!
SHINK!

"Ur-ra-ra-agh-agh-agh-cak-cak-cak!" The hideous voice clicked as the sounds of metal clinked on the ground as it approached.

"Get out here!" Fleur roared

Coming from the shadows, the Shadow emerged and approached the gang.

"In...Tru...Ders!" The Shadow proclaimed. It was a gnawing, grasping, emaciated shadow with a large rotund body. "None...will stop...Our Glorious...Kobayakawa!" Its arms looked like needles with scythe-like hands, a mask that looked like a gas-mask topped with a military sergeant's hat.

"THE HELL IS THAT THING?!" Skull yelled

"I... Have no idea." Joker admitted as he saw it as the beast approached them

"Guys, let's go!" Panther called out as she grabbed her whip.

"Oracle, analysis!" Joker asked, hoping she could decode this thing.

"Right!" she nodded, taking her mask off "Nechronomico-AAAAHHH!" As her Persona was formed around her, the weird Shadow jumped at them, smashing against the UFO

"Get offa her, you bleedin' bilge rat!" Captain Kidd proclaimed angrily as he took aim and unleashed a blast of electricity from his cannon arm

"ZIONGA!" Skull proclaimed, the lightning shooting at the Shadow as it leapt off of Necronomicon and dodging the lightning. "It missed?"

"Allow me to help, GOEMON! BUFALA!" Fox proclaimed. A blizzard was unleashed from the fudal spirited Persona, shooting through the air almost like a drill

The Shadow creature was hit, though it didn't look like it was doing much damage to its body.

"CIRCE/ CARMEN!" Both Dove and Panther called out.

"KOUGA!"

"AGIDYNE!"

Oracle was with Necronomicon and trying to discern what weaknesses this thing had and her eyes widened. "Oh no. Watch out!" She called out, as the Fire attack seemed to be repelled and strike back at the group while the Bless attack got through its defences.

The girls yelled as the flames washed over them, knocking them off their feet.

"That thing reflects Fire?!" Queen asked in shock.

"Yes. And it can reflect Wind too." She nodded

"Any other resistances?" Joker asked, brandishing his knife.

"Yes, don't shoot it!" She answered.

"Okay! Good! To! Know!" Queen rushed in and punched the Shadow in the face.

*PUNCH!

"GURARGH!" The Shadow screamed as it got a face full of Queen's knuckle-dusters.

"My turn!" Mona and Joker leapt into the fray, slashing at it with their knife and saber, causing an 'X' marking on its chest.

SHINK!

"Whoa!" They dodged out of the way of its scythe-like hands.

Dove jumped up high, bringing her blade down and stabbing intk the Shadow's back.

Fleur frowned as she gripped her riding crop tightly.

"Fleur?" Panther asked as she saw her.

Shine!

A slight light shone in Fleur's eyes, brimming with determination. "Queen. Panther. I have an idea." She spoke. She leaned down and began to whisper to the two of them. The two's eyes widened as they heard that, trying to ignore the sounds of battle around them but could manage to hear what Fleur's plan was.

"Alright." they nodded

"Ladies, anytime here!" Mona asked, calling out to them.

"Alright, we're on our way!" Queen called out as gripped her weapons tightly

"Panther, Queen, get into position!" Fleur ordered

"Ma'am!" Both students answered affirmatively as they rushed and flanked the creature

"What are they doing?" Skull asked in confusion.

Joker saw this and an inkling came to his mind... this was going to be something special. He felt the Wolrd Arcana within him reacting, glowing.

Panther acted first as she unleashed her whip, wrapping it around their foes neck.

"Gah-hck!" The Shadow grunted, feeling itself strangled.

Queen rushed forwards and buckled its knees so it looked like it was kneeling before Fleur. She lowered her riding crop, gripping it's chin and forcing it to look as the other two gathered around her. Panther gripping her whip tightly, Queen smashing her knuckle dusters together

"You've been a bad boy." Fleur smirked

"Prepare to be punished!" The three called as they raised their feet... And began to stomp on the Shadow's face, heels first. The sound of piercing flesh and a sickening wet sound echoed through the air as the three kept up their attack until the Shadow dissolved

There was an explosion of gore as the three span around. Fleur in the middle, gripping her riding crop. Panther on her left, who slashed her whip while cocking her hip, as Queen punched her left fist against her right palm while she stood on Fleur's right. Queen smirking as she stood powerfully, Fleur having one foot forwards as you could almost see a BDSM dungeon behind them. Three words flashing above them before the world returned to normal

KNOW YOUR PLACE!

Skull, Fox, Dove and Mona's eyes widened in shock at this... straight up brutal attack from the trio.

Joker and Oracle were the only two who saw this as... kinda badass but also a little turned on. "Yes mummy." Oracle squeaked

"Step on me." Joker let slip

...

"You know dude. I shouldn't but... I get ya." Skull nodded, patting his friends shoulder

...

"What is WRONG with you two?" Fox frowned

"Like you don't have a kink, Inari." Oracle answered.

"Hoo... That... That felt good." Fleur exhaled slowly with a smile on her face.

"GOOD?" Dove asked in concern

"I've been... stressed by my job for some time." Fleur answered. "It's good to have an outlet."

"... Whatever you say, Fleur." Skull answered, trying not to pull the pin on that grenade.

CLICK!
CREEEEAAAK~!

"Wait, is that the door?" Dove asked as they were cautious something would be coming at them after that.

"I think it just got unlocked." Joker answered, reassuring them.

"You mean to tell me that bastard purposely locked us in to kill us?!" Skull snapped.

"It's not the door." Fox answered. "Look over here." He pulled open a cubby hole where a Key was.

"A key?" Panther asked.

"Wait, I've seen this before." Joker commented.

"So have I. It's the roof key." Fleur added.

"He had the roof key locked up?" Dove asked. "The treasure is probably up there."

"Makes the most sense considering." Panther agreed.

"Then we better make our way up." Joker took the key. He span it dramatically, slipping it into his coat

"... Okay, you've got to show me where you learned that." Skull commented. "That was some manga shit right there."

"It's called 'Proficiancy'." Joker smirked, winking at his girlfriend's as he wiggled his fingers

"Duce, come on." Skull facepalmed.

"Let's go!" Mona called out, pointing to the door while Panther, Queen, Dove and Oracle all blushed and giggled.

Fox however was walking ahead with his hand covering his face. This was getting... a little too heated for his liking.

The group travelled through the corridors to the tower-like steps up towards the roof.

"Jeez, this guy sure loves to make the school his prison; right?" Skull quipped.

"Skull, I agree with you." Dove answered.

"This just means he's paranoid about keeping his treasure hidden." Mona answered.

"I wonder what his treasure will be." Panther commented.

"Probably something egotistical." Oracle answered. "Maybe like a 'Best Ever Teacher' mug or something."

"As much as I think that would be an apt thing for him; I doubt it, Oracle." Joker answered.

"Maybe it's a mirror?" Fox wondered.

"Why'd you say that, Fox?" Dove asked.

"Maybe he is vain enough to see himself as the treasure and the mirror might represent that." He explained.

"... That's honestly a beautiful way of thinking, Fox." Panther answered. "But I don't think he's that vain."

"But you know, we'll keep a pin in that if it is something like that." Joker responded.

"You said my 'mug treasure' idea was dumb." Oracle pouted as she was carried by Joker.

"I'm sure that it's more than just a mug, Oracle. It's got to be something of great significance." He responded.

"You REALLY need to exercise note short stack." Skull joked as they arrived on the third floor

'I'll show you exercise, Skull!' Oracle thought as she was put down.

"Okay, here we go." Joker spoke, pulling out the Key and slotted it into the lock.

Click!

"Here we go." He spoke as the door opened to outside, more specifically a search-light watch-tower kind of roof. It looked like a sniper's nest here.

"Ouch!" Panther hissed, covering her eyes

"Damn, this is bright." Oracle groaned

BANG!

"There." Queen hissed, having taken a shot at the light with her Revolver.

"... Those ARE fake, correct?" Fleur frowned

"As fake as Madarame's copies of Sayuri." Fox bitterly remarked.

'He must still be upset about that.' The group thought.

"I heard about that." Fleur frowned, seeing how upset Fox was.

"Hey, it's okay." Panther responded.

Joker was silent in the back. Normally he would hate himself for not assuring his friends, but he was thinking. He had been noticing a lot of differences this time around. Small changes. At least when it came to their battles in the Metaverse. Those All-Out-Attacks where he and one of the others combine their powers? And now that combined attack from Fleur, Dove and Queen?

They where like nothing he had ever seen or felt before. But every time he had felt the echo of the World Arcana reverberate from his heart.

"Oracle, do you see the Treasure?" Mona asked.

"Hmm... Ah! I got it!" She called out as she pointed into the sky

The group looked up as they saw the Treasure, floating like a light in the sky, a glowing nebulous orb that looked like the sun. Just out of their reach.

"Why don't we fly up there?" Skull suggested

"Good idea; who has a flying Persona?" Fleur asked.

"I have." Oracle answered. "Joker definitely has."

"Seiten Taisen." Skull raised his hand.

"Mercurius." Mona added.

"Seems a bit much just to get up there. Maybe it'll float down when we get Kobayakawa's attention?" Dove asked.

"Possibly, but that could only mean we'd have to prepare for at least twenty-four hours." Queen commented.

"Tomorrow." Joker said

"Huh?" Fleur gasped in shock. "T-Tomorrow?"

"Yes." He responded seriously.

"That'll give us enough time to make a plan and for me to make the letter." Fox answered.

"Then we send it and as soon as he sees it, we rush in." Joker smirked

"Sounds as good as any plan we've got." Queen commented.

"And Joker's going to be up all night making smoke bombs and other gear." Mona joked.

"Yeah, I-, hey!" Joker nodded before snapping.

"How will we get up here quickly? The secret way again?" Fleur asked.

"Probably, this place doesn't have too many 'safe zones'." Dove nodded.

"Well, we've probably freed a few up to get here." Joker answered. "I think there was one that we passed."

...

"Actually." Oracle frowned "The roof ITSELF is a safe room."

...

...

...

"For real?!" Skull yelled

"But... that's impossible; right?" Dove asked.

"It should be. But... it's the truth." Oracle answered.

"What kind of place is this Palace?" Joker muttered to himself.

"Maybe we can see this as a good thing. For all his power over the school, he doesn't control the plants up here." Panther commented. "That Haru girl from Makoto's class comes up here all the time; right?"

"Yes, she does." Joker nodded, thinking about Haru. Their last member of the original team He smiled, knowing she would be okay...

"You know. This makes sense." Queen hummed as she crossed her arms "The roof is where the treasure is because it is where no one is allowed to go. Off limits. Safe from everyone. But lots of people DO come up here and no matter how hard he tries, he can not police it properly. It is a paradox to him."

"So... we head back now?" Joker asked.

"Yeah, I think so." Queen nodded.

"You sure?" Joker hummed and looked back at the team "Does anyone want to do some training before we head back?" he asked "Take down a few more Shadow's and practice a bit?"

The group looked at each other and smirked.

"Well... I'd like to knock some more 'Dwarf' heads around and train up a little longer." Skull answered.

"I'd like to see if this guy has any more treasures laying around." Oracle added.

"I could always use some more inspiration." Fox hummed

"And our new member could use some more training." Panther added teasingly

Fleur blushed under her mask and coughed a little. "A-Alright. I could do that too."

"All against one. Guess I'm out-voted." Queen commented as she lowered her head. But she did smile gently

"Looks like we're making a 'money run'!" Mona chuckled. "How many smoke bombs have you got Joker?"

"Yes." Joker laughed, holding up a couple of smoke bombs, strange devices and lock-picks.

...

SLAP!

And Mona facepalmed.


*time skip*

"My legs... feel like noodles." Ryuji groaned as he was lying in a booth as they had returned from the Metaverse.

"Agreed." Fox muttered

"Ren. What are your legs made of?" Shiho asked.

"Nya... I'm sleepy." Morgana flumped onto the bed and snoozed.

"Is this what you do almost every day?" Ms Kawakami asked.

"No, not every day. Not even almost every day. We take rest periods between each mission." Ren answered. "Which is why when we go, we go hard."

"You tell her." Ann giggled

Futaba chuckled as well, lying on the couch on the other side of the room. 'That's what she said.' She thought.

"Hnn... does anyone know a good masseuse? My joints are a little stiff." Shiho asked.

"I'm sure there's one that Ren knows." Morgana yawned.

"Why would he know?" Shiho wondered.

"I know one. Looked it up." Futaba groaned.

"I think rest might be the best thing for us right now." Ms Kawakami responded. "And maybe something to eat."

"... Anyone for curry?" Ren asked.

"Yep!" Futaba raised her hand.

"Are you offering?" Yusuke asked.

"Yeah, I don't mind." He responded.

"You can cook?" Sadayo asked in shock.

"Curry all around." Ren grunted and got back to his feet.

"Let's go." He said proudly

"... Don't make mine too spicy?" Kawakami asked nervously.


*Time Skip*

"Bye guys!" Ren waved as most of the last of the group left. As he closed the doors, he stretched lightly, still feeling a bit tight while he was one of the last ones in LeBlanc. "That was an eventful day." He yawned as he walked up towards his room

"Agreed." Morgana stretched

"Welcome home, Master." a familiar female voice said cheerfully, and sure enough a certain teacher was standing in the middle of his room dressed in her maid outfit

"Oh boy, I'm outta here." Morgana leapt to the window.

"Becky? Sadayo? Why're you still here?" He asked.

"Because I wanted to be here." She answered. "And... I wanted to be with you."

"Oh, I see." He answered, smiling at her as she wore that costume.

"I know it's silly, Master...But..."

"It's alright, it's okay." Ren sat down with her, his hand on her thigh. "But I can't exactly say yes. I'm flattered but I can't betray the-"

ping

'We've already talked. You can go with it.'

...

"Futaba." he facepalmed, seeing the red head had quickly texted him. Looking up at the camera he knew was still probbaly there he threw a jacket over there

"I take it that everything is okay now?" Sadayo asked.

"Yeah. They've just confirmed it with me." Ren nodded, realising what this meant looking at her with her costume on. "You spoke to them, didn't you? Back at the Palace?"

Sadayo looked to the side and inverted her lips as she was... honestly guilty since she did ask. "Will you be mad if I say 'yes'?"

"Not really." he shrugged "It's just that it was like you where expecting that text from Futaba."

"A-Ahem. R-right." She answered, before holding his hand. "So... when should we-?" She spoke before he kissed her on the lips. He pinned her to the bed, kissing her hungrily. Almost starving. Sadayo's eyes widened in shock and then fluttered shut, embracing Ren in her arms as she could feel his muscles through their clothes. 'O-Oh god. He's so forceful.' She thought to herself.

'Sadayo. Becky.' Ren thought, his hand groping her around her waist, his tongue gently pushing past her lips as he was getting excited.

Sadayo moaned into Ren's mouth, her body aching for him as she felt the 'taboo' of her student handling her. And the respect he had for her as a girlfriend, this was so much for her at once. He ran a hand up her thigh, slipping under her skirt "Ah! R-Ren!" She whispered, feeling his hands grazing the top of her stockings and garter.

"Just Ren?" He teased, undoing her uniform slowly

"M-Master." She moaned, looking into his eyes, past his glasses.

Ren smiled gently to himself as he kissed her, unclipping her stockings from her garter while his hand teased her ass. He carefully began to remove her dress. Getting rid of as much of her dress as he could. All he wanted her dressed in was her stockings and her shoes.

Rustle
Rustle

"Not catching you, am I?" He asked, having removed the top of her dress.

"I'm fine Master." she assured with bright red cheeks, her white lingure hugging her large breasts and curvy hips well.

"Good, because I don't want to rip your panties off." He reassured, rubbing her body and leaned down to her breasts. He began to kiss across her collar bone, giving small teasing bites.

"Oh, oh yes. Master." She moaned, shuddering by his kisses as she hadn't been touched like this in so long.

"How is it, Sadayo?" He asked, removing her bra carefully

"It-it's fine. I. I like this." She panted, looking up at the ceiling, almost giving herself to Ren 100%

"You sure?" he asked as he sat up, rubbing her nipples slowly. He sat up a bit so he would be looking into her eyes "I don't want to make you uncomfertable. Am I bad? You are just lying there."

"Bec-Because I am being overwhelmed." she admitted with a smile "Don't worry. It's because it is GOOD that I am like this."

Ren sighed in relief and nodded. "Alright." As he teased her body.

Sadayo moaned as she felt Ren's hands pleasure her breasts, his young hands groping her like a youthful man in a steamy romance novel. She felt so... So naughty~!

"You've got a lovely voice, Sadayo." He purred into her ear, his body pinning her down.

"You're... too dressed, Master." She moaned

"Hmm, you're right. That needs fixing." He answered, removing his shirt and showed off his developing abs. "How about now?"

...

"Mama likes..." She whispered

Ren chuckled as he heard that. "Care for some more?" He smirked.

"Yes please." She nodded, licking her lips

Ren pushed himself off from her body and removed his trousers exposing himself to her and walked towards her, flesh on flesh.

"Oh my gosh." She whispered, feeling his muscles on her body, her chest pressing against his own and was blushing. "M-Master."

"Are you ready, Sadayo?" He asked lovingly as he looked into her eyes. She nodded, wrapping her legs around his waist. Ren positioned himself ready and felt the warmth of her slit... and he pushed in firmly and gasped, feeling her vagina suck down on him. He moaned softly, btiitng her neck. It was so weird, being with so many different women in this way. Each feeling so different inside.

"Oh god! Yes! M-Master!" Sadayo moaned, her arms and legs wrapped around him, her fingers almost digging into his back as he thrust into her. Leaving red marks in their wake, almost looking like a spiders web, she gripped his back tightly. Rolling her hips into his.

'Hnn! Fuck! Yes!' Ren thought as he felt his dick thrust deep into her pussy. He held her hips jn a tight grip, giving small but powerful thrusts. Not pulling out too far but giving her all he had. Letting her feel as full as he could make her fkt as long as possible "Sadayo." Ren moaned as he kissed her, his chest rubbing against her breasts/

Sadayo gasped as their tongues batted against each other, while Ren was thrusting in faster and faster, feeling his member ready to climax deep inside of her. 'M-Master!' Sadayo thought, her eyes closing as she came as Ren slammed his dick deep into her and felt his seed in her pussy.

Ren reached up and removed her wig, kissing her hungrily. He had removed her from her 'Becky Persona' and was exposing Sadayo Kawakami. 'Sadayo. You beautiful woman.' He thought, his tongue batting hers as they embraced. As he came inside her, holding her tightly

"Ah~, R-Ren!" She moaned, breaking the kiss and hugging him close.

"Sadayo..." He panted as he finished inside her.

"Master~!" She moanes deeply. Ren embraced Sadayo, his hands doing their best to slip underneath her back and through the quilt and panted heavily. "Oh... god." She panted, embracing him closely. 'Is this...what they get?' She thought to herself... She suddenly rolled them over and slipped off "Let me... Clean you up, Master." She panted with a grin

"Oh. Thank you." Ren smiled and nodded. "Okay."

Sadayo got to her knees and looked at Ren's youthful cock and took it into her mouth, using her tongue to lick any and all remaining cum from it.

"Oh, Sadayo. Yes." Ren moaned as he leaned on his bed. "Amazing." He held her head softly, shuddering and moaning at the small tricks she did with her tongue. He gripped the quilt as he felt his dick bobbing in her mouth as he was feeling his next load cum. He was still sensitive, his next shot being literally sucked out by his teacher

Gulp~

"Ah~." She panted as she cleaned him up.

"Ready... For another round, Master?" She asked

"Maybe. I think." He nodded, cupping her cheek.

"Good. This can help you with your stamina." She smiled.

"Alright, Sadayo. I'd like to see your technique." He praised.

"I'm quite confident." She answered, stroking his chest. "But I'll try. Would you like my... backside, master?"

Ren's jaw dropped as he heard that. She was offering -that-? "Are you certain?" He asked.

"I am." She nodded. She rubbed against his dick as she positioned herself and exposed her backdoor hole, shuddering in excitement as she was giving herself to him.

"Sadayo." He whispered, pressing his dick against her ass and made her gasp a little as she braced herself. "H-Hmm. So... tight." He pushed in and soon felt her puckered hole suck his dick inside her.

Sadeyo moaned as she began to bounce on his lap, feeling her ass being spread wide.

Ren was lying on his back, Sadeyo in a slight squatting position. Her legs in an almost M shape as she leaned her body back, her hands carefully supporting her on the bed behind her. She rolled her hips, jabbing her ass up and down the cock slowly. She was almost showing off her body to Ren as she rode his dick. Ren couldn't keep his eyes off her, looking at her bouncing bosom and rotating hips. He was holding her thighs, helping to pull her down. Slowly she was taking more and more of him inside her, he was filling her more and more. Feeling her ass expand, the tightness around more of his member.

"Oh... fuuuuck~!" Sadeyo moaned deeply, her eyes rolling back in her head a bit

"S-So. Ti~ght!" Ren grunted and moaned "God... damn it! Sadeyo! Your ass! It feels... feels good!"

"Ren! Master!" she moaned, taking every last inch of him into her asshole

A glint in his eyes shone as he embraced her, feeling Arsene 'awaken' within him as he could feel confidence brimming from within. "It's all in." he said simply... and began to move his hips, as well as hers. Slamming in and out as fast as he could "SO I AM GOING ALL OUT!"

Sadayo's eyes began to cross as she exclaimed, feeling his dick deep inside her, rutting her like a wild animal. "M-Master, yes!"

Ren's eyes glowed internally as he felt his 'Joker self' push his body even further. He nodded his hips with all his might, slamming feel into Sadayo's asshole

"AH~! MASTER~!" She exclaimed happily, feeling her ass slapping against his hips as she was cumming. Ren gave a few more thrusts into Sadayo's ass, before climaxing once again, filling her hole with his seed. The two moaned deeply, in bliss, as Joker held her 'I love him.' Sadayo thought to herself, as she felt more fulfilled being here than at the school. 'I really... Really love him. This... Is what I want...'


*Time skip*

"You all good, Futaba?" Ryuji asked as the group sat around Futaba's computer

"Yep! Got a clean scan and just finishing the upload. Tch. Talk about a joke of a firewall. And would you believe it? His password is password!" Futaba snickered "And ... Calling card sent!"

"Something tells me that he doesn't put much stock in security." Ann chuckled.

"Hey, good work on the card's design, Yusuke." Shiho patted his shoulder.

"Thank you, I did my best." He nodded in respect

Ren smiled in the back, crossing his arms. While he stared this to help Makoto, and then Ms Kawakami... He DID have a secondary reason for this. Well, a third reason technically. One he realised later. To help change the future and to one up that damn cup.

With his more stealthy route with dealing with their targets, the police and Shido where less obsessed with taking them out. They where basically slipping under the radar almost. Still targets but not high priority.
Add to that the fact that if they change Kobayakawa's heart? Akechi wouldn't get the chance to kill him.
Plus Shido's influence would be lessened greatly. Heck his crimes might even be revealed before he and the cup had a grasp on everyone.

It was amazing what could happen when BOTH players where aware of the game they played.

"I wish I could get his reaction, that would be priceless." Ryuji admitted.

"As much as I don't want to admit it... it would be good to see him realise his mistakes." Makoto added.

"You're starting to sound like a Phantom Thief, Ms Makoto." Morgana chuckled.

"Should... I be happy about that?" She asked with a nervous chuckle

"It just means that you've got emotions like the rest of us." Futaba chuckled.

"So... what now?" Ms Kawakami asked


*In the school*

Kobayakawa was alone, typing away at the computer.

"Another day, another; what's this?" He asked himself as he opened up the file that just popped into his inbox. "For me? Who is this-?" He asked himself before his eyes widened.

Masao Kobayakawa
You have been found guilty of the sin of greed. You see teachers as tools and utilities for your ever inflated ego, and seeing students as meal tickets for your pride and boastfulness.
We will steal your heart and make you realise the weight of your sins.
From The Phantom Thieves of Heart.

Principal Kobayakawa's jaw shuddered as he saw this letter. He didn't know who this was, but he was targeted by them! "Oh god, no, no, no! This cannot happen!" He told himself.

"If you think that I will take this standing down? You are mistaken!" Principal Kobayakawa's Internal self thought to himself. "I will not... I won't let these Phantom Thieves push me around!" He proclaimed. "Try and come after me! I am untouchable!"


*with the theives*

"There we go." Futaba smirked as she had linked up the computer's cameras and saw him having his guard immediately up.

"Looks like we've got our 'in'." Ryuji smirked. "We ready?"

"Do you mean-?" Sadayo asked.

"Yeah, I've got plenty of drinks, curries and equipment for it." Ren nodded as he pulled out his phone. He typed away, the world warping around them.

"Wait how do-?" Sadayo asked before they appeared in the Metaverse. " She felt her clothing warp, being replaced by the leather and silk the kinky maid outfit Fleur wore form around her "Curries help people?"

"Fleur, it's all to do with this place. If it's good and makes you feel better, it makes you feel better." Mona answered. "At least, as long as you beleive it does."

"Huh... I guess that makes sense." Fleur answered.

"Anyone for fast travel?" Joker chuckled as he pointed towards the Prison School.

"Please! I don't wanna deal with all those stairs again!" Oracle whined

"Okay, everyone hold on." Joker spoke out as he focussed on the roof.

WHOOSH!

The group had grabbed onto Joker's back and teleported straight to the roof, landing with their feet a little buckled, but not injured. It was like stopping a car too quickly before getting to a stop-light.

"Hate that part." Skull groaned

"Sorry, not much I can do about that." Joker apologised.

"It's like Riding in Mona in Mementos when you ram into Shadows or doors." Dove commented.

"I said I was sorry." Joker responded as they were now safe on the roof and the treasure right in their grasp. "Besides... it's the way down we might have to worry about."

"What do you mean?" Fleur asked.

"When we take that Treasure, this place will come down." Fox explained.

...

"And the only way out is a straight drop..." Queen gulped

"Hey... Oracle? How many can Nechronomicon carry?" Skull gulped

"Err... a few. I think. Joker?" Oracle responded, thinking of the tentacles and how much they can carry... depending on the compromising position if anyone wants to try and hold on.

"Don't have any of my big ones equipped." He explained with a shake of his head "My current set is based around variety. With immunities and elemental attacks. We have no idea what we will be facing."

"No... You don't. You damn Theives!"

"Shit, he's here already?" Skull looked around, his back to the team like he was ready to defend them. They span around. Flouting high above them was a large book...

And the Principles body was hanging limply in front of the book.

"Err... is that Kobayakawa?" Fleur asked.

"I am simply more than 'Kobayakawa'!" The Principal responded as he was slowly lifted up and looked like a humanistic doll. Suddenly he began to change and warp. The sickening sound of flesh ripping filled the air.

Kobayakawa's cloths dropped the floor, the principal's body expanding larger and larger than a normal humans.

"Oh... goodness no." Fox's eyes widened in disgust. He grew to twice a normal humans size, with massive bulky muscles and the school badge plastered all over him. His skin was as white as a doll's, his head three times too large for his body with goggley eyes rolling around and not looking at anyone

...

"That's... Concerning." Panther commented.

"I am the General! I will guide this school! And my soldiers are these students! I will make them into my preferred image!" Kobayakawa proclaimed.

"Like hell we will!" Queen proclaimed.

"Whoa, Queen." Oracle smiled.

"You treat others as tools to bolster yourself high! Torturing them, almost! Like slaves, driving other slaves into exhaustion! Pishig children too far for your own sick satisfaction!" Fleur continued "And allowing the vilest of scum to join our ranks just to bolster your own position further!"

"Sacrifices for a greater good. People have to be pushed in this world to reach greater heights!" Kobayakawa snapped.

"And does it matter when those heights cause people to fall?" Dove asked, her hands shaking. "Forcing people... to become broken?"

"Our society is broken. And we are going to stop it!" Joker called out. He flicked his fingers, pointing at the principal "Our calling card was your only warning. We are taking your treasure... Right NOW!"

"You will not, Thieves!" Kobayakawa proclaimed, slamming his hand down at them.

The battle was on.

The group jumped out of the way, all of them moving in their own style.

"I'm taking his arm!" Skull spoke, twirling his metal pipe weapon. "Fox, you with me?"

"I'll cripple his legs!" Fox agreed, holding his katana.

"Then let's deal with this oversized dumbass!" Skull smirked as he charged forwards, electricity sparking around him. Kobayakawa's face just turned to a malicious smile as his arm was targetted... and Skull was zapped by his own lightning. "GAH! CKZCKZCKZ!" Skull grunted as he was electrocuted and swatted back.

"What?!" Panther gasped

"What?" Fox proclaimed, his icy attack slicing at the legs... but was frozen back as he was kicked away.

"HAHAHA! What's wrong? Learning your place?" Kobayakawa laughed darkly.

"He reflects ice and electricity?" Dove asked

"Oracle! How's the analysis?" Joker asked

Oracle was scanning Kobayakawa as quickly as possible, taking into all the data she could... and then her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "He-he's immune."

"What was that?" Queen asked.

"He's immune to nearly everything!" She called out loudly.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Panther called out. "Isn't there anything that can hurt him?"

"I'm looking!" She panicked. "But every element he reflects back at you!"

"What about 'Gun' or 'Physical'?" Mona called out.

"YA-ha-ha-ha! Try all you want! You will never defeat me! I will send all of you to prison!" Kobayakawa glared down at them.

Shine

"Huh? What's that?" Joker asked, seeing something in the sky.

"Joker!" Dove called out as Kobayakawa's hand came sweeping out at him.

"Thanks." He grunted, smiling

"What are we going to do?" Fleur asked, summoning Arachne to try and defend her students.

"I see something." Joker said "Oracle, scan higher!"

"'Scan higher'?" She asked

"Trust me!" He responded.

Oracle began to scan higher typing as fast as she could...and she clocked something. "Wires? What are wires-? THAT'S IT!"

"A little info here, Oracle, please!" Mona called out.

"He's being controlled! There are wires that are holding him up!" Oracle explained to all of them

"He's a giant puppet?!" Skull asked.

"They're strings..." Queen realised

"Facinating." Fox hummed as he recovered

Kobayakawa roared as he slammed his fists down, trying to squash his foes

Joker frowned as he ripped his Mask off, summoning a Persona to defend them. "COME ON! DECARABIA!" Summoning from his blue flames was a red starfish with a singular blue eye with five 'eyelashes' underneath. "TETRAKARN!"

SHINE!

CRASH!

As Kobayakawa slammed his fist down, he hit a barrier which repelled the attack right back at him.

"Oracle, what can you tell us about those strings?" Queen asked

"I see what you're thinking!" Mona grinned

"Okay, from what I'm getting is that each string has a specific weakness. Cut each one with an elemental attack and we disable those limbs and take down the fatty principal!" Oracle answered.

"Anything specific please?" Dove asked.

"His left leg string, it's weak to fire!" Oracle answered.

"My specialty!" Panther called as she pulled her mask off "Come on out, HECATE!"

WHOOSH!

Hecate erupted from the flames as she rose to face Kobayakawa. "AGNIDYNE!" Panther proclaimed as she whipped the wire to guide Hecate's flames, as they severed the cord.

TWANG!

"GAH! No!" Kobayakawa proclaimed as his leg went slack. He stumbled as he tried to strike, giving them another chance

"Your turn, Skull!" She called, giving a high five to to the pirate themed thief

"Ye-heah! Oracle, tell me where to hit!" Skull cheered.

"Right arm!" Oracle called out.

"You heard her, Seiten Taisei! ZIONGA!" He proclaimed, ripping his mask off and pointed at the wire. The monkey roared as he flew through the air on his cloud, unleashing lightning from its mighty staff weapon

"GYAAH! Stop doing that you hoodlums!" Kobayakawa proclaimed angrily.

"You're up, Fox!" Skull raced to his friend and hi-fived him.

"Goemon. It is our turn to strike!" Fox called passionately as he drew his sword

"Harum!" Goemon proclaimed, holding his pipe in his hands.

"Left arm!" Oracle called

"BUFUDYNE!" He proclaimed as Fox called forth a ice attack to shatter the wire holding the principal up.

"GRAAAAHHHHH!" the principal howled in pain

"Dove!" Fox proclaimed, raising his hand for the oncoming tag-in.

"Gotcha!" She leapt forward. "This is for all the bullcrap you put us through! Circe!"

"Bless wire, holding up his torso!" Oracle called out, continuing to scan the enemy.

"On point!" She nodded and prepared her attack. She leapt up and with her broadsword glowing with white light she fell ready to cut it. "KOUGA!" And cleaved into it.

BOOM!

The large shadow self of the principal stumbled forwards, parts of its body diflating like balloons. However before any more could be done, Kobayakawa roared as he unleashed a wave of energy from his body, like waves of magic that was unavoidable

"What is that?" Fleur asked as they were all covered.

"GAH!" Joker grunted, covering himself with his arms as it passed through him. The battlefield was quickly quietened... some of the Phantom Thieves were still standing.

But most of them-

SCRAPE!

"S-Skull?" Joker asked before he saw his friend turn and swing his pipe at him. "GAH!"

"Joker!" Oracle called out.

SHINK!

"For... Kobayakawa..." Fox spoke, brandishing his katana at her.

"Dove. Queen? Are you okay?" Panther asked.

CRACK!

Queen's eyes were hollow, like the others as she cracked her knuckles. Dove raised her sword, watching it shimmer in the light

"What... What's happening?!" Fleur yelled in panick

"It is my Will. Those that are loyal to me." Kobayakawa explained. "Noone will go against me! Those who do, DIE!"

"They are brainwahsed!" Joker called as he dodged Skull's swings 'I HATE this power!' he thought

"What do we do?" Fleur asked.

"I don't know!" Oracle answered.

SMASH!

"Isn't there an item or a skill to knock them out of it?" Fleur asked while Joker dodged Skull's pipe.

"I don't have any items. And I don't have the right skill!" Joker explained.

"BWUAH-HA-HA-HA-HA!" Kobayakawa laughed heartily as he seemed to be healing.

"Dove. Knock. It. OFF!" Panther snapped, pulling a... giant slap-fan out of... somewhere and smacked her over the head with a loud-

CRACK!

"H-Huh?" Dove blinked as her head was thrown to the side, a big red mark on her cheek "Wh-what happened?"

"Pbtt. I-Is that a Harisen?" Fleur snickered as she saw that, knowing it was very important right now, but also... kinda funny.

"I had to-Look out!" Panther called out as she pushed Dove away from Queen's oncoming punches.

"Mak-Queen?!" Dove yelled as she began to dodge the Queen's blows

WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!-

"Will you knock it off, Fox?!" Mona leapt up, slapping Fox with his own Harisen.

CRACK!

"Oof! Huh? What-? What happened?" Fox blinked.

"You got whammied, we've gotta-SKULL!" Mona called out, dodging out of the way.

"How? How is this possible? You should be under my control!" He proclaimed.

"We've got our ways, Eggy-Principal!" Futaba called out.

SNAP!

"Do NOT call me that!" He roared.

"Looks like you got under his skin, Oracle." Panther commented, holding Dove up.

"My head feels like a water balloon." Dove groaned.

SMASH!

"Grr... RARGH!" Skull roared as he lunged at Joker.

"Sorry partner." He frowned and slammed his fist forward, smashing it against Skull's face

CRASH!

"... OW! Hnn! The hell dude?!" Skull shouted in pain as he fell on his ass

"Sorry. You where giving me a tough fight." Ren smirked from behind the mask

"You owe me one though." Ryuji rubbed where Joker hit him.

"At least ONE of you is still loyal to me!" Kobayakawa proclaimed, glaring at the still controlled Queen.

Queen froze, however. Her body shaking as her foot dug into the ground.

"Come on, Queen. You can beat him." Joker spoke out.

"Loyal... to... you...?" Queen hissed out, her blue flames rushing around her for a moment "*OANA!" she roared

VRRRRRM!

"HRARGH!" Johanna proclaimed as she struck the wire that connected to the torso.

"... Okay... that is a lucky shot." Oracle blinked

"Never underestimate a woman's intuition to hit a target when she needs too." Panther responded.

'Much needed 'note to self'.' Joker thought.

"MONA!" Queen called, her body still glowing with neucular energy

"Y-Yes?" Mona panicked as he saw her...still kinda pissed off, but also ready to pass the buck "Oh, gotcha!" The cat Phantom Thief leapt up and high-fived her.

CLAP!

"MERCURIUS!" Mona called out. In a blast of blue fire the Persona took flight, summoning wind energy "GARUDYNE!"

"HA-RU!" Mercurius proclaimed, causing a cyclone that sliced through the remaining wire.

"How many left, Oracle?!" Fleur called as she used her riding crop to bash away at the Monsterous shadow

Joker and Oracle tried to fine the remaining wire... and it looked like Kobayakawa was being hung. 'God damn it, is this form like a doomed deadman?'

"Psy and curse!" Oracle called

"Do we have any of those attacks?" Fox asked.

"I do!" Joker answered, grabbing his mask and ripped it off. "NEKO SHOGUN! PSIO!"

Erupting from his flames was a blue armoured black-furred cat with red flags on his back.

"NYA!" the Persona called, shooting out a blast of psychic energy

"GARGH!" Kobayakawa screamed as the wire was cut by Joker's attack.

"Joker, there's one left! We're running out of high-fives!" Oracle called out.

"Good thing we don't need any more!" Joker called as his flames eroupted "Now! ARSENE!"

"YA! HA-HA-HA!" Arsene laughed maniacally "HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"Err... Is he... more maniacal than usual?" Goemon asked his fellow Persona.

"Oh my... I think he is..." Hecate blinked, fanning herself for a second

"Knock him out, Boss!" Captain Kidd proclaimed.

"EIGAON!" Joker and Arsene called together

FWOOSH!

A burning black and red flame erupts from Joker's and Arsene's knife and claws severing the remaining cord holding Kobayakawa in the battle.

TWANG!

The wires went straight upwards while Kobayakawa crashed to the ground. And something... yelled in pain. Coming straight from the sky.

"Anyone else hear that?" Fox asked

"Yeah, it sounded like someone getting whipped in the face." Skull agreed.

"Fleur!" Joker called "You're up!"

"I've been waiting for this for a long time!" She grabbed her riding crop as she walked towards the fallen Principal

Kobayakawa grunted as his puppet eyes turned towards Fleur, seeing her tower over him... and felt how pathetic he was. "Y-You can't do this. There are rules! Please, don't-!"

"Quit your whining, Kobayakawa." Fleur spoke with authority as she gripped her riding crop.

CRACK!

"I didn't give you permission to speak."

"Eep!" He squealed as he saw the riding crop in her hand.

'Dude.' Skull thought as he looked at Joker as Joker laughed nervously

Fleur gripped her weapon tightly, removing her mask "Look at me. I said 'look at me', you petulant little man!" She ordered.

Kobayakawa mumbled and looked up at Fleur, catching glimpses of her underskirt and panties.

SLAP!

"I didn't give you permission, to look up there did I?" Fleur snapped the ground with her crop. "Only one man has the right to look there." She snarled

Joker coughed a little as they heard that, looking to the side since... really. Time and place.

"Learn. Your. Place. Eggy-Principal." Fleur remarked as she kicked him across the face, sending blood thrown away violently as she kicked him across the face, sending blood thrown away violently

"Whoa!" Both Queen and Skull gasped as they saw their teacher kick ass.

"You... You pests!" the shadow roared as ot stumbled back, gripping his jaw "You pathetic brats! You-"

"Got it!" Oracle suddenly cheered. Everyone looked up and saw the hacket sat atop her UFO, holding the Treasure in her hands. A... school year book?

"No! No, give-give that back!" Principal Kobayakawa pathetically called out. He tried to get at her, even throwing one of the cut wires still attachd to his body like loose string as if it where a rope, but a large spider-like Persona blocked the way

"I'd stay still if I were you." Arachne proclaimed as she stepped on his hand.

"GAAAAAAHHHHHH!" he howled in pain

"Everyone! I think it's time to teach this fool what it means to guide children" Fleur asked.

"Yes ma'am!" they all called

The group grabbed their weapons and leapt into action, this was going to be very cathartic for most of them.

SLASH!
SQUISH!
SHINK!
CLANG!
RIPP~!
SQUANK!
FWOOSH!

"GRAAAAAARGH!" Principal Kobayakawa screamed, his outward appearance disappearing until he was only a smaller version of himself, a more human-sized version. Almost like a tiny child.

"Wow..." Oracle blinked as she was lowered down, flicking through the book

"What is it?" Skull asked.

"It's... A photo album." Oracle answered. "So many names and pictures here.

rumble
rumble

"That'll have to wait, we need to get outta here!" Mona called out.

"It's his yearbook Album!" Oracle called in shock as she came to a stop on a certain page

...

"What?!" Everyone gasped

"P-Please... give... give that back. I... I have to-have to meet them." Kobayakawa begged, trying to reach for them. "Have... have to prove myself..."

"Proove himself?" Queen mumbled

"Hey! I recignise her!" Panther gasped as she looked at the book "She's high up in the Model world! A high class make up artist!"

"No way! For real?!" Skull blinked in shock "That guy's staring in the new Mega Fighters 9 movie next month!"

"Isn't he a novelist?" Queen added, pointing at the book

Joker's eyes widened as he saw a young man. A young man with a familair face. He looked similar to Akechi, meaning this young man was... 'Shido...' Ren thought as things began to click together

"Kobayakawa knows all these famous people?" Dove asked.

CRASH!

"NO!" Joker yelled as he grabbed the Principal's wrist, the tentacles of Necronomicron grabbing everyone

"JOKER!" Skull called out, reaching down to him.

Joker's hand clasped against Skull's, the leader acting as the middle ground that stopped their Principal's shadow from falling Because the Palace was already crumbeling, turning to dust. The first floor was already gone

"GAH! Oracle! Watch the tentacle!" Dove yelled, pushing the tip away as it began to get 'touchy'

"Sorry!" she snickered

"Principal!" Joker called down. They didn't have time. He had to hurry! "You cared about the schools reputation, your reputation, because of your classmates! Didn't you?"

"I... I just wanted to be on equal ground as them. They were so successful, they approached their dreams. And what did I do? Principal of the school we went to, trying to cling to some level of fame. Just drop me." Kobayakawa responded.

"But what about the sudents you wronged?! The teachers you dragged through the mud?!" Joker snapped angrily "You became a teacher for a REASON, didn't you?! You weren't always like this! You have a right to make up for your mistakes!" Seeing the fear in the Shadow's eyes... good god this man was pathetic and such a coward! Meaning...

Fuck. Joker felt like he was going to be sick.

But his hand was slipping, his grip was slipping. And if he dropped the Principal's shadow... he'd die! And then Kobayakawa would die! He couldn't hold on until they laneed, so the ONLY option is to have the Shadow return to himself!

Which meant...

"It... It's not your fault you became like this!" Joker grunted, wanting to throw up. But he refused to let someone die! "It... It's not! It's his, isn't it? He's a big time polotician now, isn't he? What did-Did you do? Overhear him talking to someone at-at a reuinion?"

"Yes. I-I did. I... I heard him talk about me. Calling me a 'failure'." He admitted. "And talking about using that Cognitive psience stuff..."

"And you convinced him to let you help him. Threatened to expose him." Joker continued "Use him to make the perfect school. In exchange you'd take down threats while they are still young, ensuring him in the NEXT election! Right?"

"Y-Yes!" he nodded, shocked Joker knew this

"He wronged you! Betrayed you!" Joker shot back, trying not to throw up "You KNOW he would kill you if we became a threat! HE twisted you into this! Go back! Because you can get revenge AND make up for your sins!"

Kobayakawa looked at his struggling hand, seeing Joker... and began to glow. "Yes. Yes, I... I'll do it."

"You will?" Joker asked

"Yes. I... I need to make this better. I need to fix my mistakes. I'm sorry. For everything." Kobayakawa apologised as he vanished from Joker's hand.

"Land us, Oracle!" Queen called

"You got it!" She called out, landing the UFO Persona.

The group landed outside of the collapsing school, leaving Kobayakawa to his own world... while in the dust and debris, they all fell out and arrived back in LeBlanc.

"Ow! My ass!" Skull, or rather, Ryuji groaned, having landed on the floor.

"You guys okay?" Makoto asked, pushing off Ann and SHiho.

"I'm fine. Though-Where's Morgana and Futaba?" Ann wondered.

"Over... Here..." Yusuke groaned as Futaba and Morgana were lying on him unintentionally.

"Sorry." Futaba apologised as she got up.

"Well... that's over." Ren commented


*time skip*

The group where in Joker's room once again, relaxing and destressing after the latest Palace run. Futaba was sat on Ren's bed, flicking through the book "Everyone, take a look." As she opened the book again.

Everyone did as they where told, Ren rubbing his shoulder gently. Looking at the book they saw many, many, famous faces

"So... Aside from a supermodel, a movie star and a novelist; who else is in this book?" Sadayo asked.

"Here's another... wow, he really knew some big names in school; didn't he?" Yusuke commented.

"Guess we can't sell this." Morgana joked.

"No, but it does give us some insight into what he was striving for." Sadayo responded.

"Yeah." Ryuji nodded, casting a glance at Joker

"What do we do now?" Makoto asked, sitting down on the bed. She didn't even think that this was her boyfriends bed, she was too tired for that

"Same as always. We wait." Ann nodded

"Well...A lright. We wait." Makoto answered.

"... Is that the time?" Sadayo looked at her watch in shock

"Ren? You up there?" Sojiro called out, sounding like he had just come into the cafe.

"Um, yeah! Just... hanging out with my friends!" Ren 'lied'.

"Okay. Is Futaba up there?" Sojiro asked.

"Yeah, I'm here! Just hanging out!" She responded.

"So... what now?" Yusuke asked.

"... Anyone for curry?" Ren offered.

"Yes!" The collective answered with a slight groan, feeling calm and in need for a WELL deserved break.
