CHAPTER 5 (S4DC)

(2/4/2017) (Leblanc) (SOJIRO SAKURA pov)

It had been a few months since the disappearance of Futaba and her friends… and even Akira decided to go missing and from the group of people that are in front of me right now, I guess that their influence goes further than anything I expected.

A toy gun salesman, a politician, a high school teacher, a news reporter, the info broker highschool student, a girl that tried to commit suicide at Akira's school, a random kid that I see at the arcades a lot, and for some reason SAE NIIJIMA. These people have shown up asking about the phantom thieves and let me tell you it is a pain in the ass sometimes because these unrelated people have united under one cause: find the people that are known as the phantom thieves.

"Yo boss can I have some of that curry?" asked a random patron that had been in this place since 5:00 in the morning just reading the newspaper.

"Yha sure," I said

"Thanks, man." said the patron

I walk over to the curry pot and hear the doorbell ringing signaling that a new patron has come in.

"I'll be right there!" I shout

"Take your time." said the most recent patron that sounded to be around 15 or 16

Suddenly I heard a familiar slam of the lock of the front door is locked

"And don't bother with the curry. The person that ordered it will not be joining us." said another person sounding more mature than the first but also more psychotic

As I walk toward the people that recently just came in I see the regular patron with blood leaking from the bottom of his head and a man sitting right behind him in the booth behind that patron and to say he looked intimidating was an understatement.

This man had wavy brown hair and what looked to be a black detective outfit that adorned his body but the striking thing was the black plague doctor mask and hat on his face and the rapier the hung from his hip.

But there were others there as well two men and a woman

The first male was around 26 with combed back black hair and a pale complexion and her wore something akin to a butler outfit just with a big yellow scarf that hung around his neck and not a bow tie and he had a small tattoo on his neck that looked like the wheel of fortune card off of a tarot card or something like that.

The second male was vastly different from the first two looking around to be in his early 20's at the most with spiky neon red hair and a giant scar in the form of an X on his face which was poorly covered by a vizor and he wore what looked to be a mix of a janitor outfit (from what he could tell) and a school uniform combo with two surrounded blades hanging from his hips being plain to see for anyone who looked closely enough.

And the woman… all I could see was black and white with her, A black coat, a white dress, long black hair, white scarf and a back phantom mask on her face but there were two things that want against the moitome scheme and that is her two silver eyes that pierced through her mask and a golden rosary around her neck.

"Who the hell are you? And why the hell are you here in my store?" I questioned

"Is that really the way you greet guests?" joked one in sunglasses "is this seriously the one that the leader of the phantom thieves was entrusted to?"

"Yes sho this is the one that joker was entrusted to." said the phantom

"What the hell do you want with Akira?" I question

"Oh nothing major." said the phantom standing up from her seat "we just want to test his skills."

"What do you mean?"

"It is simple." said phantom walking closer to me while grabbing her rosary "if he is like us in the science that he has the potential for THE WORLD then we must test him for that possibility."

"What the hell do you mean by THE WORLD?"

"Master I knew that he would not understand the concepts of it." said the detective

"Which is why I came prepared." said phantom "but first, Diablo Amarillo please call the police."

"Gladly boss," said Diablo Amarillo

"Now then!" said phantom "THE WORLD is a tarot card and as you likely know it is the final card that the FOOL card takes the journey to achieve this card. But there are more stages of this, there is also the UNIVERSE and AEON cards that are only reserved for alternate decks of tarot but they are very much different cards compared to THE WORLD. THE AEON is a card that represents a person becoming a savior to the person or place that they love the most and gaining strength from it. THE UNIVERSE while almost unknown it is meant to be representative of god-like figures that establishes a new road for the future."

"What the hell does fortune telling have to do with Akira?"

"Oh it means a lot." said the phantom ripping off her rosary and crushing it only for her to burst into flames to reveal a figure behind her

The figure looked to be a slender male but if you look closer you can see its body looked more feminine with long black hair and curves that lined her body but her face looked to be covered in a white phantom mask with black lines lining the mask and the other part of its face was blank in fact it wasn't even a face it was just a smooth porcelain like substance where the other half of its face is supposed to be and the figure itself wore a black and white tuxedo suit with a black cloak with a red underbelly and its hands were a black rapier and a white rose.

This persona is phantom of the opera.

"W-What the hell?" I questioned

"This is why I told you about the arcanas." said phantom "because phantom of the opera is one of the aeon arcana. And I plan to test Akira kurusu with this power."

(no pov) (Futaba's room) (3/4/2019) (10:48 pm)

"Master kurusu you have a guest here that wants to see you." said a maid

"I see. Can you tell me this person's name." asked Akira "I want to be sure that I know who it is that requested me."

"I would gladly do so but all she gave me was a fake name." said the maid

"Oh." said Yusuke "well nevertheless she came all this way to talk to us. So let her in none the less."
"Agreed master Yusuke." said the maid

"Well come on bring whoever it is in!" said Ryuji

"Gladly master Ryuji." said the maid "you can come in miss."

After a few seconds of waiting for a bloody and beaten for of haru suddenly walked through the door with the body of an armored man in green hanging over her shoulder

"Hi guys, long time no see." said haru before collapsing onto the ground thanks to the weight of another human weighing her down

"HARU!" shouted the group as they went to catch the poor girl

"I am fine." said haru "I can last. But sadly I could not heal him."

"I can handle that." said ann before summoning Carman

"But the real question is what happened to you two?" asked Akira

"Well as you can likely tell… we were attacked." said Haru before looking over to the man that ann was healing "we were the only ones to make it out of the attack with our freedom."

"Wait who the hell attacked you?" asked Ryuji

"A group of persona wielders." said Haru making all the others gasp in shock "eight in total, and each one was stronger than the last."

"Oh fuck." said the whole group (minus haru)

"So there are others that are like us." said ann

"That has yet to be seen." said Yusuke "they could be native to this world."

"No ann is right." said Haru "all the people that weren't persona users spoke English while the persona users were speaking Japanese."

"Who else was with you?" asked Akira

"Makoto and a few mercs we have been traveling with," said Haru

"Where is she now?" said Akira but this time with slight fear in his voice

"I don't know." said Haru "I was lucky enough to find out that you guys were at this place when I did."

"Futaba," said Akira

"Yes bro?" asked haru

"Find where she is with the tracker." commanded Akira "I am going to find the bastards that did this to them."

"Hold on you can't be serious." said Ryuji "you heard what haru said and yet with that knowledge you, Akira god damn kurusu, the most straight-faced I want to go in with a plan for the most motinotinus thing possible, is proposing to go on a suicide mission without a plan and nonetheless go wherever the hell those persona users may be ALONE. What the hell has gotten into you?"

"The fact that I am able to wipe them off the face of this green earth with satanael is a major reason for why I want to go." said Akira "and I hate to say this but I know that you won't understand if I told you why I am doing this."

"Then tell us god damn it!" said Ryuji "tell us why the hell you plan to go on a suicide mission against eight persona users and an army!"

"BECAUSE I AM DOING IT TO SAVE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!" shouted Akira shutting up everyone in the room in an instant

"Makoto is with them and who knows what they are doing to her!" said Akira "so yes I know that this is a suicide mission but who gives a shit because there is no way in hell that I would not do the same for any of you."

"Fine." said skull "we are coming with you."

"Well better now than never." said fox

"Shit is about to hit the fan." said panther

"Well we are not going to let him go on a suicide mission." said noir

"Welp you are not going to have to go far to reach your destination," said Futaba

"How so?" asked Akira

"Well, there is the fact that she is locked up in the most secure prison ship in all of Atlas."

"Wait WHAT!"

"Yha." said Futaba "and it is flying right outside our doorstep."

ok so I know what your thinking "wow this guy made a new persona that looks weird." well I would like to challenge the artists out there to make poto (phantom of the opera) and phantom together but let me also clarify something I meant to clarify earlier...power scaling. more spisificly that of the personas that are in this story now let me give you the rules to the power scaling here.

each measurement will be separated into groups like destructive power, speed, durability, development potential, and precision and all those will be ranked from E to A with E being the weakest and A being the strongest.
