Chapter 5

Octavia and Akechi went to the building of certain imps to buy fake weapons.

Octavia: Hello Loona

Loona: Hi Octa...

At that moment, Loona and Akechi exchange glances.

Loona and Akechi: You again?!

Octavia: Do they know each other?

Loona: This asshole called me a bitch

Octavia: Really?

Akechi: She insulted me when I just asked her where the library was.

At that moment a certain imp enters

Blitzo: What's going on here?Why is Stolas's daughter here?

When Akechi sees Blitzo, he remembers that Stolas was cheating on his wife with him, so he draws his sword and points it at him.

Octavia: Akechi no

Blitzo: What's wrong with you?

Furious Akechi: Why are you sleeping with someone already married?

Hearing that, Octavia is alarmed that the plan would fall apart, and Loona and Blitzo are surprised that Akechi knew that.

Blitzo: H-how do you know that?

Akachi: Why?

Loona: Blitzo

Blitzo: It's just for a deal, I'm not doing it out of lust, I don't have much money and I need that book for my business

Akechi was about to strike, but seeing Octavia, he stops and lets go of Blitzo.

Akechi: I'm sorry, it won't happen again

Blitzo: You better.Octavia, if it's about your father tell him that in a few days I'll go for... that

Octavia: Yuck, I actually came here to buy toy guns.

Blitzo: Oh well follow me

Blitzo leads Octavia and Akechi for the weapons, while Loona and Akechi glare at each other on the way.

Akechi on her mind: Her voice reminds me of Futaba's

Both Loona and Futaba have the same English voice actress, Erica Lindbeck.

Blitzo: Well here they are by the way, why do you want them?

Octavia: This ...

Akechi: It's to play gunslinger

Loona: What are they children?

Akechi: No, but we want to remember our childhood

Blitzo: It doesn't matter, take what you want

Octavia grabs a revolver and keeps it, but Akechi doesn't know which one to grab until he sees a sci-fi type pistol.

Akechi: I grab this

Blitzo: What strange tastes

Octavia: Oh, and please don't tell my parents that we were here.

Loona: Why?

Akechi: Just do it or he'll kill you both!

They were both scared by Akechi's words

Blitzo: ok... ok

Loona on her mind: I didn't know Octavia had a boyfriend

They both left the building, heading for Octavia's house.

Octavia: Akechi, you have to stop doing that.

Akechi: I'm sorry, that's the real me

Octavia: I see.

Octavia on her mind: Akechi seems nice, but he's kind of sadistic

After a while they arrived, but Akechi hid to avoid being seen.

Octavia: Ready?

Akechi: Ready

Octavia presses the metaverse app on her phone and they both end up infront of the palace.

Octavia: Now what?

Akechi: We will investigate the Palace, but first let's use code names to prevent them from discovering our identity

Octavia: Oh, weird but okay, well, I'll be...

Akechi: How about Via?

Octavia: That's the nickname my parents give me, I like it but it doesn't match for a code name

Akechi: Oh what's up, Owl?because you are an owl

Octavia: No

Akechi: I agree.

Octavia: I already have it.Night, because my suit is dark as night

Akechi: I see, it's simple but cool

Octavia: And yours?

Akechi: Black Mask

Octavia: It's good, but I had thought of Crow, because you're a crow

At that moment, Akechi remembers that that was his name as a member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, and remembers how he had horribly betrayed them.

Akechi scared and upset: Definitely not that one!

Surprised Octavia: Okay, calm down, don't be like that

Akechi realizes what he said

Akechi: I'm sorry, let's go investigate

Octavia in her mind: Why did she get like that with that name?is hiding something from me

Both entered the palace to explore it

Night: Goro

Akechi: I actually like being called by my last name better, but remember we have to use our code names.

Night: Ok Black Mask What happens if you kill the shadow of a dream of a palace?

Black Mask: If he dies, the person will enter a kind of coma, or a psychotic crisis

Night: Then we're not going to kill the shadows of my parents.

Black Mask: As you say

At that moment, several imps appear

Imp: Stop, intruders

Black Mask: Time to fight, Night watch how I fight with my Persona

Night: Ok

Song: Last Surprise

In that instant, the imps transform into various shadows

Black Mask: Fun time.Person

Black Mask summons Loki and kills several of the shadows, leaving Night impressed.

Black Mask: Tu turno Night

Night: Okay, Person.

NightSummons Freya and kills the rest of the shadows.

Black Mask: Well done Night

Night: you weren't bad either

At that moment they saw that a shadow was left thathad the shape of a smiling white doll, with boots and a blue hat.

Shadow: I will defeat them

As he was walking towards them, he tripped and fell to the ground.

Shadow: Oh, I already hurt myself

Nightand Black Mask were somewhat confused

Night: Are you okay?

Shadow: Shut up, I'll take them down, ice

The shadow throws some ice shards, but Loki and Freya create a shield that repels them, scaring the shadow.

Scared Shadow: Please don't kill me.

Night: Calm down, we're not going to kill you, right, Black Mask?

Black Mask saw the serious face of his partner

Blackmask: Good

Shadow: Well, I'm Jack Frost. And what are you doing here?hee hoo

Night: We're here to steal my parents' treasure.

Black Mask: Don't tell him about our plans!

Jack Frost: Well, I won't allow it.

Black Mask: Well, this is your fi...

Jack Frost: Unless...

Night: Wait Black, unless what?

Jack Frost: Let me join you.

Nightand Black Mask were somewhat confused by Jack Frost's request.

night what?

Jack Frost: Honestly, this place is really boring, and the other demons have teased me a lot for being too weak.

Black Mask although he would not admit it, he understood Jack Frost

Night: Ok, come with us little friend

Jack Frost blushing: Ok..ok, I'm Jack Frost and I'm at your service Hee hoo

Jack Frost in his mind: Hehehe at the least expected moment, I will defeat them and take them to the bosses and finally they will value me

The trio continued to investigate,until Jack Frost saw something that caught his attention .

Jack Frost: ¿Eh?

Night What's up?

Jack Frost: Look at that.

The three of them saw a painting of an owl boy who seemed to be Stolas

Night Is that...Dad?

Black: It seems to be a boy

Jack Frost approaches the painting, but trips and falls into it.

Black: Jack Frost

Night: What happened?

Jack Frost came out of the box surprising both

Jack Frost: Folks, you have to see this.

Both decide to follow him, first entering Night and then Black Mask

Black in his mind: It looks like Super Mario 64

Black Mask entered, but he did not see where he was stepping and ends up falling on top of Night, She saw that he was on top of her, making them both blush

Black: Octavia, I say... I say Night I'm... I'm sorry.

Night: Well...well please get...away from me

Black got up and helped Night up, and they both followed Jack Frost.

Night in her mind: I'll admit, Akechi looked handsome up close.Wait, what am I saying?

The three saw the Stolas child and were surprised

Night: Why is my dad a boy?

Black: No, I don't know.

Jack Frost: Some palaces have the ability to display people's memories

Night: Wow

They both see how the child Stolas walked through some corridors to a room

Stolas boy: Dad dad, look at the spell I learned

Night: Grandpa?

Little Stolas enters the room and his smile turned into a face of horror when he saw his father throwing himself at what appears to be a devil

Stolas's father: Son...son?

Stolas boy: Pa.. papa?

Devil: Is it your son?

Stolas terrified child: Ahhh, mamaaa

Stolas's father: No, wait

There the scene ends, leaving Night, Black Mask and Jack Frost shocked

Night: Did Grandpa cheat on Grandma?

Black Mask: Ese miserable

Night: But if he saw how horrible it was to cheat on your partner, why does dad do it?

Shocked Jack Frost: Look, the memory continues.

The threesee a sad boy Stolas, his parents divorced, and he wanted to be alone

Stolas crying: Why did this have to happen?

Nightfelt very sad for his father and tried to hug him, but he was transferred

Night What, what happened?

Jack Frost: It's a memory, you can't touch it, and he can't see you.

Black Mask: Let's keep watching

Sad Stolas: I wish I could forget what happened... Wait that's it

They see how Stolas runs to a bookshelf in his house, and they follow

Stolas: I think one of the spells in Mom's book could erase memory.

Black Mask: Erase memory?

Stolas: Aqui está.Estuan Inside Violent Wrath Estuan Inside Violent Wrath

These are the Latin words that sound in Sephiroth's theme, One Winged Angel in Final Fantasy 7

Saying that, a hand came out of the book grabbing Stolas's ear and pulling out what appears to be a balloon with the memory of his father and burned it.

Stolas: Al, finally, why did I come here?I will continue training

Little Stolas put the book back in its place and left.The trio was shocked by what happened, and they left the painting, returning to the corridor where they were.

Night: So the reason why dad doesn't feel bad doing it is because he erased that memory.

Black Mask: I understand that he was a child and it was difficult to process him, but he shouldn't have run away like a coward, but accepted the facts and continued

Black Mask in his mind: God, I'm being a hypocrite

Jack Frost: It's a shame what happened, but it seems to run in the family.

The mention of that madeBlack Maskabout to laugh, but Night annoyed, summoned Freya and threatened them.

Owl: They say that again and I kill them!

They were both scared

Scared Black and Jack: Well... well

At that moment, Night sees a painting of his mother as a child, and she seemed sad.

Night: Mom?

Jack Frost: Let's go in

The three enter the painting,and were horrified by what they saw

A little Stella was beaten with a whip by her mother

Stella's mother: How dare you be friends with an imp?!

Stella: But mom, Arus has a good heart.

Stella's mother: No buts

And it starts to give again

Stella: Aaaaaau

The three of them, especially Black, who was already turning furious, were horrified.

Black Mask in her mind: She's a fucking bastard

Immediately, Stella's mother locks her in a closet

Stella's mother: You are going to stay there until you understand that status is the most important thing there is. Do you understand young lady?

Stella: Yes, yes

Stella in her mind: Please help me

Stella's mother: And if I ever see you with that little devil again, I'll have him killed.He is in your hands

Just hearing that, Black Mask couldn't stand it anymore, and he shot out, ready to kill her.

Night No Black

Black: Die miserable, I will not allow another child to suffer abuse like meoooo

Night: He suffered abuse?

Cognitive Stella's mother saw Black, and immediately grew wings

Stella's mother: Die commoners

Night: Black, watch out

Stella's mother launches a large fireball but Black backs up and dodges it.

Surprised Black: Don't the memories not see us?

Jack Frost: Only the previous versions of the palace owners, the other memories will see us and attack if they perceive us as a threat

Night: Let's fight

Song: Last Surprise

Stella's mother begins to fly and swoops down

Night and Black: Persona

They both summoned their Personas and fought

Night: Freya

Black Mask: Loki

Both People created a shield that repelled the attack

Stella's mother's shadow: What the fuck?

Black Mask: Our turn, Loki.

Night: Freya

Both People attacked the shadow, but it defended itself with its wings.

Night: What?!

Jack Frost: Friends, beware.

Owl y Black Mask: ¿Eh?

The shadow began to fly again and grabbed Night and Black with its claws.

Night: Let go, Fre...aah

Black Mask: Lok ... aah

Jack Frost watched as his companions were hurt, and did not know what to do.

Jack Frost: Oh no, what do I do...I know.ice hee hoo

Jack Frost with his magic, makes it rain ice fragments, knocking down the shadow and freeing Night and Black

Night: Thank you very much, Jack Frost.

Black Mask: You are amazing and quite strong

For the first time in his life, Jack Frostfelt appreciated .

Jack Frost: Thank you very much, now let's finish her off Hee hoo

Black Mask: Yes.Night, see what you can do with the guns

Black takes out the toy gun he had and to the surprise of Night and Jack Frost, he fired and hit the shadow.Then Night did the same, weakening the shadow

Black Mask: Now, let's attack together

Night: I agree

Jack Frost: Hee hoo

The three of them did an all out attack (Akechi's pose is that of Persona 5 Royal during the 3rd semester), and finished off the shadow.

Shadow: Aaaaahhh

The shadow disappears and explodes, sending the trio out of frame and into another

Night: Or...another painting?

Black Mask: Miren

The three see an adult Stolas alone

Stolas: I feel so lonely lately, I know Octavia is in her astrology classes and Stella is promoting our family name, but still...

From afar, Akechi understoodStolas's being alone.And thenthey see another picture of Stella

Stella: I don't like to leave my family alone, but they must understand that by interacting with more powerful individuals, we will be safe from any danger.

Nightfinally understood why his mother dates other nobles, not to show off, but so they can protect us.

Night: Mom... thank you

Then they left the painting and the three of them continued exploring until they found a large room with a white sphere in the center

Night: Is that...

Black Mask and Jack Frost: The Treasure!

Night: The treasure?!!So let's grab it

Nighttries to grab the treasure, but goes through it

Night: But what happened?

Black Mask: The treasure hasn't materialized yet.We must warn the owner of the palace through a warning card that we are going to steal the treasure

Jack Frost: Once it materializes, we only have one day to steal it.

Black Mask: Let's go and...

Black Mask saw that Night collapsed on the ground and began to cry.

Night: My parents... they suffered just as I did, or worse.Mom is like this with the statuses because of her mother.And I was complaining that she always went out, but she was doing it to protect us. Is it okay for us to steal the treasure?

Black Mask felt sorry for his partner and sat down next to her and took off his mask.

Akechi: Octavia, your parents unknowingly hurt each other.That's why we must steal his treasure

Nighttook off his mask

Octavia: But Akechi

Akechi: But nothing, you want you and your family to be happy again, let's steal the treasure

Octavia understands what Akechi says

Octavia: You're right Akechi, we won't give up.

Akechi: That's how it has been..

Akechi does not finish speaking because the three of them saw a humanoid figure with a blue leotard and wings

Figure: Intruders

Octavia: A human?!and looks exhibitionist

Jack Frost: She's not a human, she's a demon named Pixie Hee hoo

Pixie: What are you doing here?I'll tell my...

Pixie didn't finish speaking because Akechi pointed his gun at her.

Scared Pixie: Ahhh, you wouldn't dare shoot me, would you?

Akechi shoots Pixie and misses on purpose, showing that he means business.

Scared Pixie: No please don't kill me

Akechi smiling sadly: Did I kill her or what?

Octavia: No, I have a better idea.

Octavia approaches the Pixie

Pixie: What do you want from me?

Octavia: We want you to provide us with your services

Pixie: Ah, it seems that they are desperate and that's why they come to me

Octavia: You do know that I can take you out now, right?

Scared Pixie: Oh no, I was kidding.

Jack Frost: Don't worry, Pixie, these guys can be trusted.

pixie was shocked

Akechi: And what do you say?

Pixie:.Ummm... very good, my name is Pixie, I'm at your service

Immediately, Pixie transformed into a ball of energy and reached for Night's mask.

Octavia: But what happened?

Akachi: I don't know.

Jack Frost: Pixie just got to your mask, when you say her name, she'll appear

Akechi in his mind: Same as Ren

Octavia: Okay, let's go back.

Octavia pressed the browser button, and they were back in the real world.

Akechi: We're back,

Octavia: Yeah, hey, where's Jack Frost?

Jack Frost: Here

Akechi: ¿Eh?

Octavia and Akechi saw that Jack Frost was next to them.

Surprised Akechi: But how are you here?If the People obtained from the palaces cannot materialize

Octavia: Really?

Jack Frost: I am my own Persona, besides, the shadows over there are demons, so some of them can materialize.

Akechi: I see.Well, Jack Frost and I will do the notice cards, when we finish it, I'll let you know.

Octavia: Okay.

Akechi: See you tomorrow for the assault

Octavia: See you tomorrow.

Jack Frost: See you tomorrow

Akechi and Jack Frost went to the abandoned building where Akechi lived.Octavia went to her house to her room when her parents called her

Stolas: Via, we have to say something very important

Nervous Octavia: What... what's wrong?

Stella: Your dad and I... we'll get divorced in 3 days

Octavia felt that news like ice water.

Sad Octavia! What?!

Stella: We tried to fix it.But this asshole keeps sleeping with that commoner

Stolas: And she continues with her outings, abandoning us

Stolas and Stella started arguing, but Octavia was sad and wanted to cry, so she went to her room crying, but not before seeing her parents as her shadows.

Octavia crying: Akechi, please, let's hope to steal the treasure

End of chapter 5

I invented Stolas and Stella's past, it's not real.In the next chapter, the long-awaited assault on Stolas and Stella's palace finally takes place.
