CHAPTER 5 (S4DC SEASON 2)
"you guys go on ahead I have to deal with a few things first," said Akira
"Oh sure thing." said jhuan "let's go guys."
As they left joker started to walk toward a different part of the arena to see a blue door with metal bars running through it.
"I wonder if they could see this." said Akira as he opened the door "so are you coming out or am I coming in."
And just like that something toppled him after that one statement and almost crushed him under the weight of six humans falling on him and wrapping him in a sweet embrace.
"AKIRA!" shouted most of the phantom thieves
"Oh my god you had us so worried man," said Ryuji with a big goofy grin on his face
"It is so good to see you, big bro," said Futaba almost burying her face in Akira's chest
"Don't scare us like that again dude." said ann tears almost falling from her eyes although her smile betrayed her
"It is good to have you back in action my friend," said Yusuke a warm smile plastered on his face
"I am so glad you're ok," said haru tears flowing down her cheeks
"It is good to see you guys again." said Akira "but where the hell is Makoto?"
"She wasn't ready to meet you again yet." said Yusuke "although I don't see why she saved you after all."
"Wait how did she save me?" asked Akira "shouldn't getting your arms and legs cut off be a permanent thing."
"Well that is sort of a long story." said Futaba "well one that she wants to tell at least."
"Well, either way, it is one I am willing to listen to." said Akira "all we need to do is go and find her after whatever the other guys were going to find out."
"That might be a bit," said Ryuji
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!" shouted what sounded like Makoto
"What the hell was that about?" asked Akira
"welp it kinda involves the story that is about to come into play." said ann
"Guys be straight with me here," said Akira
"Makoto was pissed when she found out that our new teachers are either related to or are the person that dismembered you to hell and back." blurted out haru
"WHAT?!" shouted Akira before running toward yu narukami's office 'why the hell are all of them here in this school'
"WHY THE HELL DID OZPIN HIRE YOU GUYS!" shouted Makoto
"BECAUSE HE WANTED US TO TEACH YOU BRATS THAT'S WHY!" shouted another voice
"KANJI that is not how you talk to kid you know that." said a slightly feminine but deadpanned voice
"SHE helps IN BLOWING UP OUR GODDAMN HOME NAOTO." shouted this kanji guy
"YOU KIDNAP ME AFTER KNOCKING ME OUT WITH A FRICKEN CHAIR" shouted Makoto "PLUS BECAUSE OF YOUR BOSS MY BOYFRIEND IS STILL IN THE MEDICAL BAY IN A GOD DAMN COMA AFTER 3 GODDAMN MONTHS."
"I mean she does have a point," said Lovecraft
"DON'T AGREE WITH HER YUKIKO SEMPEI" shouted kanji
And after that one statement, Akira burst open the door to the office to see the room was filled to the brim with the gang he met just outside and some of the people that he knew tried to take a member of his family from him and even team rwby and ozpin was there just watching the chaos go on with no limits although there were some people that he did not find familiar.
A woman was standing closest to the door who was currently wearing a pair of black shorts with green tights underneath them with the words FIGHT SONG in a bright yellow lining the legs, she also wore a black shirt with Jackie chan's face on it next to the words 'trial of the dragon' in bright yellow although it seemed like she wanted it to be covered by her green jacket with a yellow stripe that looked very iconic in some way.
Next was another woman that was trying to dress as a man although her own body betrayed her intent. She was currently wearing a black suit with a blue dress shirt and a white tie with the words KNOCKOUT on subtle places on all three in pure gold lettering, she was also wearing a pair of black dress pants with the words knockout as well lining the cuffs of the pants as well as a pair of nice dress/combat boots as well as a hat that sat upon ahead of long blue hair.
The second to last one was a man in a white military uniform standing next to ozpin with short black hair forming his face and a slight stubble that was under his nose and chin.
The last man was the most familiar out of this new bunch although he did not see much of him when they last met. This man wore a black pair of pants and jacket with pins made of pure gold spelling out MOONWALKER on his collar and the cuffs of his pants with a white dress shirt was shown almost fully underneath the jacket, he also wore a slight yellow bandana around his neck which was covered by shoulder-length silver hair and over his yellow eyes were black frame glasses.
"Oh your here." said ozpin before turning to moonwalker "is it ok if I introduce you?"
"No," said moonwalker "I will leave it to my team to do that."
"I see." said ozpin "well, either way, i wish for bygones to be bygones and for your two groups to get along."
"Easy for you to say." said moonwalker "while I am the type of person to easily forgive and forget, I cannot forgive what they did to us."
Suddenly fight song grabbed a paper from moonwalkers table and wrote "yha and I almost used my semblance in the course of cursing them out."
"You still refuse to speak," said Makoto grasping at the bridge of her nose
"And for good reason" fight song wrote, "not everyone here has a resistance to the cold."
"She has a fair point." said E.V.E.R.E.S.T "I checked your stats and only two of you have that resist."
"What the hell are you guys talking about?" asked both Carden and yang (although yang was feigning ignorance)
"That is something for later." said moonwalker "I believe one of us wants a rematch soon"
"I would say you better believe it but I am not in the mood to lose my limbs again." said Akira " so in the words of my father 'fuck off.'"
"Well I would not appreciate it if you were that harsh but I would agree." said moonwalker "which is why I wish to enstate a truce for now."
"Why the hell would we truce with you?" questioned Ryuji "you cut off bro's limbs for christ's sake!"
"And we lost our home and all our possessions. And yet we have learned to let live and let go." said knockout "so I suggest you all do the same."
"I think we can work with that arrangement," said Akira shocking mostly everyone in the room
"WHAT THE HELL?" shouted fight song
As she did that the temperature in the room dropped to below freezing and everyone fingertips except for Yusuke's started to adapt frost.
"Sorry," she wrote
"Your fine honey," said jariya
"Don't call me that babe." she signed
"Anyhow." said moonwalker "how about a toast. To our new partnership."
"Before we do." said Makoto "we need your names."
"Of course." said Teddie "we kinda forgot about that sensei."
"No Teddie we did not forget we just did not want to tell them until the deal was made," said knockout "anyhow my name is NAOTO SHIROGANE."
"Names KANJI TATSUMI." said kanji
"The name is YOSUKE HANAMURA.," said Yosuke "and my freaking hot girlfriend is CHIE SATONAKA."
"The pun was cold as ice but either way your sweetie pie." chie wrote
"My name is YUKIKO AMAGI.," said Yukiko "and the girl over there is my rival RISE KUJIKAWA."
"Rival?" asked everyone else in the room other than rise and moonwalker
"I am not your rival! You're just upset that you left with the gangster or the bear." said rise
"This is sadly a common occurrence." said moonwalker " anyhow my name is YU NARUKAMI. And now let me ask you one question, have any of you noticed anything weird about time itself?"
"Yha we were about to ask you about that." said jhuan "we noticed that time would stop at certain intervals around us."
"Oh yha that you start getting to know quickly it is wild card syndrome at work." said kanji "I started to notice it a few months before everyone else seemed to."
"So what is it?" asked Pyrrha "it can't just be some random occurrence."
"Well it seems to happen when a former wild card is releasing their energy into the wind constantly." said yu "although this only seems to count toward persona users being able to access the social links around the person themselves or anyone that that person knows."
"Ok first off what the hell is a persona?" asked coco "and two whose head am I peering into when this happens?"
"Oh that we have yet to figure out yet." said Yosuke "although for us we know it was yu-san for us because we were the closest to him at the time."
"I see." said velvet "then for us, it must be either Akira or his friends."
"Maybe it is all of them." said ruby "we all have been growing together as friends throughout the past few months."
"Excuse me what?" asked Akira
"Yha I think that might be it." said Carden "me and haru have gotten to be best buds throughout all odds."
"And me and Ryuji have been training together every day for the past couple of months to control his semblance," said Weiss
"What do you mean months?" asked Akira
"And me, velvet and coco have been chilling and talking about fashion and sweets." said ann
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MONTHS?" shouted Akira "hasn't it been like 16 hours or something like that?"
"You forgot to tell him Yukiko?" asked Yusuke
"Well he was still loopy at the time." said Yukiko with a shrug "plus I kinda drugged him a few times since then."
"Well that is what we were about to tell him earlier but he kinda ran after Makoto." said ann
"I see." said ozipin "you see Akira life has gone on while you were in your coma induced state"
"I was in a coma?" said Akira "well I get that but for how long?"
"About two months." said ozipin
"How was I out that long," asked Akira
"That is easy." said Yukiko "exhaustion."
"What about blood loss." stated Akira "because if I remember right I got my limbs cut off."
"oh that was because of your little main squeeze." said Teddie "is that the fraise?"
"Nope not at all." said Yosuke "but yha your girlfriend healed you."
"So that's what you meant by saved me," said Akira and to that Yusuke only nodded
"So that is why he looked so weak during the fight with Pyrrha." said penny "and extended aura usage would be extremely taxing on both parties involved."
"Close enough." said yu "although I can't fault you for not knowing about persona abuse"
"Excuse me what?" asked Carden
"That means whenever a persona use goes beyond there limits both the persona and the user are temporarily knocked out." wrote chie "I have dealt with the type of thing before."
"Still is kinda gibberish to us right now." said Pyrrha "master did not even use his "persona" as you call it in the fight between us."
"Master?" asked the phantom thieves
"It is nothing like that," said Akira with a blush
"Yha she is not wrong." said jhuan "one thing was constant during the fight. He was using his momentum and a wheelchair to get the upper hand so then he could use his semblance "thief cloning" as I have dubbed it."
"Oh he did." said Yukiko "he did you notice how he has been in different clothing this entire time."
"Of course that outfit is literally what he has been in for the past few hours." said coco "what is that a tell for if he is using his semblance or this "persona" thing."
"Ok coco I know you are not the brightest light in the school, but did you not notice the fact he can change clothes instantaneously!"
"Shut up you shnee bitch!"
"Other than that, it is not the biggest tell for a semblance." said velvet "even if you were smart enough to determine two and two you would need to find another tell to determine the "persona" trigger. Which there was not any way we could have figured that out if it was just clothing." said jhuan "so it does not matter if it was the clothes or not."
"Bingo." said yu "the clothing is not the tell although we think it is a big part of it."
"Enough plotting hon." said rise "they have had enough of this kind of talk for a long time."
"I guess you're right." said yu before pulling out a pistol and aiming it toward the ceiling and shooting it "but one of us has been absent for a bit. So why doesn't he come down."
And just like that the ceiling came down on all of them in a small circular hole right on top of yu's desk with a person falling with it, and that person was Goro akechi.
"GORO?" questioned the phantom thieves
