Persona 5: RE-do

A boy with black puffy hair clings to the last of his glory days watching the light fading from his last partner's eyes as the shining god dissipating with a bullet hole through its face they had won… but looking at the still-warm bodies of his partners made him think at what cost.

"J..joker.. we did it.." the boyish voice of that cat in his arms said weakly "we...showed that false god...if only everyone was here to see it." joker nodded softly to the cat tears welling in his eyes as his feline partner finally shut his eyes, a happy smile on his face as his paw hung limply at his side.

"N..no Morgana stay with me… your the only one I have left" he hugged the cat, his mind going blank and vision blurring by both tears and his eyelids slowly closing drifting to unconsciousness.

As he opened his eyes he appeared to be in a familiar room, laden with blue plush like walls hearing the light voice calling to him. "you have won trickster.. but at the cost of your friends, the world will live on in you and your friends sacrifice" Joker looked towards the long-nosed man in a suit "Our sacrifice? So… I"

the long-nosed man nodded softly, the girl in blue by his side looking away sadly "You have died upholding your justice, and this time you are actually dead." He looked at Joker with a sad smile the girl beside him talking "Isn't there a way we can fix this master?" the long-nosed man shook his head "Not possible Lavensa, you know this as much as I do as we aren't allowed to change fate"

Joker laughed bitterly "S..so I was fated to die anyway? A cruel game indeed huh Igor"Igor agreed thinking back to the words of an old Wild card, all of a sudden both Igor and Lavensa looked around, Joker looking at them confused as he saw their eyes tracking an Ornate Blue butterfly which landed on Igor's desk, the butterfly shone bright and started to shape into a humanoid being with brown hair set into a ponytai,l a silver earing placed into his left earlobe and an Ornate white and gold mask which complimented the snow-white suit he wore.

"Fate wasn't kind to you was it Akira?" the man asked sitting on the edge of Igor's desk "the summoning of Satanael second son of Yahweh was far too tasking on your body, then again your spirit was far too weak for it. Had you gained the full power of all your bonds instead of a few, you and your friends may have been able to withstand Yaldabaoth's onslaught" Akira looked harshly at the being "It was an unfair game… who are you anyway?"

the man chuckled softly "Feisty, reminds me of myself when I too was a Wildcard, I have many names some lost to time, you may call me Philemon" he did a gentlemanly bow as he looked at Akira.

"I must thank you for protecting the Velvet room while I was trapped, still I watched over you and your progress, you must be thinking if I'm not the only wildcard where was they to save the Velvet room, One serves as the great seal holding back an Equal threat to Yaldabaoth, whereas the other gave up most of his power in a last-ditch effort to also save the world. The other Velvet siblings travel the cosmos. leaving just Igor and Lavenza" both of which looked down Ashamed they couldn't protect the last bulwark of the defence against the gods.

Philemon turned to them with a smile half-covered by his mask "Do not feel ashamed, Yaldabaoth won not through strength but cunning, Lavenza was at half efficiency being torn in two made her unable of holding back the threat, while you Igor are unable to fight due to my orders" Joker looked at the man who coughed into his hand.

"That's not why I'm here, I'm here to settle a bet with Nyarlathotep. you Legendary trickster of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts owner of the Wildcard, Would you like a second chance?" Joker didn't trust this but thought he had no choice since if he refused it meant him going back to being dead "If I say yes I would like to set some terms" Philemon smirked under his mask.

"Name your terms Trickster and I may be able to Grant them," Joker thought for a while on his terms " The game is unfair so id say id like an Unfair advantage too, I want to go back with all the knowledge I gained though my first "Playthrough" of the game" Phillemon nodded, a knowing grin gracing his face.

"New game plus? Consider your terms met Trickster, you will be returned to the start of your Journey where the game truly begins, you will have all the Stats items and Equipment you had gained up till this point, along with a few… Rewards" Philemon materialized a clipboard with a contract "Read through it if you wish, but Sign at your own peril, your second chance is also your last" Joker nodded and read through the Contract gulping upon reading parts of it then Signing his name at the bottom.

"Well that's that signed Trickster… if you wish to begin, then close your eyes" Philemon chuckled softly turning back into his blue butterfly form and flapping away, Joker looked to Igor unsure if he hallucinated, but closed his eyes being met with the soft voice of Lavenza.

"I am thou, thou art I. Thou hast acquired a new vow. It shall become the wings of rebellion that breakth thy chains of captivty. With the birth of the Nebula Persona, I have obtained the winds of blessing that should lead to freedom and new power..."

"And now the game begins…"

Akira shook awake breathing in as he looked around him, a voice appearing over the intercom in a train "Ladies and gentlemen thank you for riding with us today-" Joker toned out the voices around him, the girls talking about mental shutdowns his mind racing. 'Im back, I'm actually back, Philemon stuck true to his word so il have to stick to mine' the train came to a halt he was in Shibuya, slowly he made his way to the true place he could feel home, on his way he looked at his phone getting the Navigation app come through and smiled a little, however he was stopped in his tracks bumping into someone.

"Owww" Akira opened his eyes to an unfamiliar face, a Girl with Red hair and a ponytail rubbing her head "Ah sorry my bad.." Akira held his hand out for the girl who took it, getting her and her bag off the floor "oof, you gotta watch where your walking, anyway, I'm Kasumi. nice to meet you, il have to see you again sometime I'm late for Practice" Joker nodded to the girl and waved as she walked away 'Odd, I don't remember her' Akira shrugged it off and walked to his memorable street after getting off the train in Yongen, noticing the face and coat of the gothy doctor walking past him he walked to the cafe, his home Leblanc.

opening the door Akira took a deep inhale of the scent of the coffee around him 'its nice to be home' Akira tuned out the sound of the Tv and basked in the feeling 'it feels like I haven't been in here in forever' he tuned back in, the old couple walking past him he looked directly at the owner of the Cafe Sojiro Sakura. truly the only person he felt worthy of calling 'Dad'

"So that's today huh? I'm Sojiro Sakura, you will be in my custody over the next year." Akira nodded in understanding "I wondered what kinda Unruly kid it would be, but you are the one huh?" Akira looked around slowly "I'm in your care, Sir" Sojiro looked at him a while before shaking his head "a customer of mine knew your parents and… well I suppose that doesn't matter, follow me" Sojiro walked to the stairs as Akira followed, walking towards his room from the past, looking at it in its mess it was in the beginning getting Nostalgic "This is your room… don't worry, il at least give you sheets" Akira looked around slowly "It's big" Sojiro hummed "It's your job to clean it, but just so you know one mess up and I will kick you out, and nothing better go missing are we clear?" Akira nodded "Crystal" Sojiro left downstairs to man his Cafe, leaving Akira in his room alone.

'Better start cleaning' Akira spent his time cleaning the messy room reaching into his bag and wearing a set of familiar headphones and pressing play on his phone as the sound shifted into his ears, in his mind he sang along 'Where have you been, been searching all along, came facing twilight on and on without a clue' time passed as Akira sang to himself cleaning the room, noting in no time he was back to how it was the first time with no reduction to his stamina.

'Ryuji's training certainty helped on that point' his memories going back to that final fight almost tearing up remembering his Friends Motionless 'That's not gonna happen this time guys' Akira was brought out of his memories as he felt a hand tap his shoulder, he looked back to Sojiro "Ah... sorry" he took his headphones out "was I being too loud up here?" Sojiro looked at him then around at the room "I was wondering what the racket was, but I can see now You did quite a lot, it's completely clean.."

"I came up to say the Cafe's closed and I'm heading home, i'd get some rest since your going to be enrolling in Shujin Academy early tomorrow" Akira looked to the older man and agreed putting away the cardboard box which felt somehow heavier than last time but shrugged it off as he felt more tired from his cleaning, hearing Sojiro going out the door he called to him asking about the sign, which Sojiro promptly corrected before leaving.

Akira sat alone in the room looking around the corners of the room noting the locations of Futaba's monitoring from when she showed him the locations of them, as an appology for spying on him, they were up but not activated, meaning if they was activated Futaba could listen in on his conversations, shaking away those thoughts he lay on his bed relaxing, phone in hand looking at the Red eyeball app. 'Alright 'Igor' Let's have a chat shall we?' he said in his mind as he drifted to sleep.

His eyes shot open as he looked around dressed in what looked to be prisoners garb, the tinkling of his handcuffs as he woke up dragging the heavy metal ball behind him by his foot, staring directly at the 'Velvet room master' having to play it cool the long-nosed man opened his mouth and out spoke a calming nasally voice from Igor.

"Greetings, and welcome to the velvet room my trickster" Akira smiled looking at the long-nosed man "Igor? Wheres Yaldabaoth? I was expecting to hear that arrogant tone of his come from you, no offence" Akira added sheepishly the long-nosed man chuckled "Yaldabaoth is still in the depths of Mementos slowly listening to the world's desires. but nevermind that, you must remember one of these?" his hands outstretched on both sides as twin white butterflies shone bright transforming into two girls in one he knew all too well, Lavenza, his previous velvet room attendant.

he looked to the other woman dressed in a schoolgirl outfit which looked like it belonged to Shujin Academy, her hair snow-white with bright yellow eyes. "This is Marie she will be assisting you as per Phillemon's instructions, she is one of the more "Inconspicuous" members of the Velvet room" he grinned wider remembering the antics of one Elizibeth.

Akira put out his hand for Marie to shake, which she did so looking away with a blush. "D..dont get me wrong imhereforyourrehabilitationnowshutup" she spoke fast "I'm thankful for your help Marie" Marie just looked away and gave an almost small sounding "idiot" Akira inwardly smirked 'tsundere got it' he looked to the small Lavenza who timidly waved.

the long-nosed man coughed a bit "hmm Well I suppose that will be all except one thing… there will be something a little extra on your bedside table as you wake up, in the words of Philemon "this is an unjust game so I will, of course, do something...to even it out" you will be waking up soon, the next time we meet you will be coming of your own accord, a good sleep to you Trickster".

Akira burst awake again looking at the window, it seemed to be morning he noticed the dark clouds signalling rain coming, he yawned stretching out noting the red key that sat on his desk, pocketing it as he got dressed he stepped downstairs to meet Sojiro in the morning, a plate of his curry and a cup of coffee sitting on the table " Hm up are you? You're going to school?" Akira looked around "Hm no customer is that your breakfast boss?" Sojiro looked at him strangely "now where did you hear of my nickname? And no I thought I might as well feed you before school" Akira sat down tasting the curry the spicy flavours mixing in his mouth giving an almost loving embrace of taste. finishing it with Bosses signature coffee blend.

"that was wonderful, Thanks!"Akira waved to him as he stepped out the door Umbrella in hand this time making his way to school, the heavens suddenly open with rain as he noticed the hooded girl he puts down his umbrella waiting next to her. "Rains a killer huh?" Akira said to the girl she took her hood down looking at him weirdly before smiling softly, going back to looking ahead " I got an Umbrella if you wanna-" Akira was cut off by the wheels of a car stopping his face almost curling into a snarl as he sees the volleyball 'genius'

unsurprisingly the girl gets into his car looking sadly but Akira knew it had to go like this, the car drives on leaving Akira under the covering of a shop's entrance "W..Wait! Gah, damn that Kamoshida! fucking pervert" Akira looks to the sudden loudness of his future best friend "Hm? Pervert?" the bottle blonde boy looked to Akira.

"Not gonna rat me out to Kamoshida are ya?" the boy said threateningly in Akira's mind he scoffed 'that bastards gonna get his and more, since I'm back from the past I wonder how I can mess with time' " Kamoshida? I dunno who that is" Akira lied, the bottle blonde looked shocked "You're a Shujin student? How do you not know Kamoshida unless... you're that transfer student the school was talkin about" he looked around Akira humming inquisitively "You don't seem so bad as the school has pegged ya, I'm Ryuji pleased to meet ya, as for Kamoshida, I swear he thinks he rules that school" Akira smirked, "like the king of a castle, right?" Akira looked around getting all the keywords noticing the purple distortions.

"Exactly! you aren't so bad at all huh-" Ryuji lost his balance a little but caught it "ugh what I don't feel, ugh, nevermind we should be gettin to school…" Ryuji groaned Akira nodded opening his umbrella "wanna walk under it so you don't get rained on?" Ryuji nodded walking shoulder to shoulder with Akira as they walked towards the school but was met with an odd sight in place of the school, a medieval castle set with many towers and one large tower.

"Wha- where are we? This isn't school, since when was there a castle?" Akira put on fake confusion "is this our school? I don't remember seeing a castle?" Akira's eyes were taking in the surroundings being met to an odd sight the Blue jail cell was there, Lavenza standing outside giving him a wave which he just smirked to her, his eyes met on what was next to it a blood-red door, as soon as his eyes met on it he felt time had stopped and a blue butterfly appeared and shaped into Philemon.

"The first palace eh trickster? So I bet you're wondering about this here door" he said tapping on it softly. he nodded leaving Ryuji where he was stepping closer to the red door pulling out the red key and placing it into the lock, the key dissipated into blood dripping down the door, opening it wide "better not keep them waiting eh?" Philemon said as he walked into the room, Akira followed closely and was met with a young woman dressed entirely in what looked like a mourner outfit, set with a black veil and an elderly man in a white suit, sitting in a wheelchair. In a blink of an eye, the lady was replaced with an old woman holding the hand of a small blonde-haired child in a black suit.

The boy leant up to whisper in the old woman's ear, after the boy had talked she looked to Akira and said in a motherly voice.

"The young master wishes to welcome you to the Satin room"

So that's the end, as you can see this isnt your average NG+ hehe. usually il put some stuff here talking about what happened sometimes il put a question like today that question is
