[Persona 5], [Jurassic World]
Dinosaur Eden – part 6
Author: GarnettFoxy
Claire stopped short as she walked into the meeting room. "Miss Hammond...You don't normally attend meetings."
"I don't normally get invited to them...Which is really an oversight." Roxanne mused as she filed her claw like nails "I will be taking full control of Jurassic World when I hit twenty one." She shrugged "Still I was made a part of this meeting, do you know what it's about?"
Claire sighed sitting down next to her "I don't, I think it might have something to do with a new project Doctor Wu was supposed to be working on but there's been nothing through official channels." Roxanne patted her shoulder watching as other people filtered in, She glanced at Lowery who nodded and looked up at a camera, at her signal this meeting would be broadcast to the entire island and recorded for any news sites that picked it up.
Ten minutes after the meeting was supposed to start Wu finally stumbled in, he looked like a beaten man as he walked up to the head of the table "Well now that we're all her-"
"I have done something unforgivable." He croaked, Roxanne glanced at Lowery who started the broadcast "What I have done I can only try and desperately put right, when this meeting is over I'll be turning myself in."
"Now Henry." Masrani placated standing "Henry your over worked, you need a rest-"
"My self and Hoskins of the Raptor training program are working for the military. I co-opted the project you proposed to create a new dinosaur to attack new visitors for an experiment in blending human and Dinosaur DNA and creating a trainable weapon."
The room was dead silent as horror dawned on everyone who hadn't known about the Indominus.
"You WHAT?!" Roxanne barked with fake surprise and real anger "Human DNA experimentation is strictly prohibited, only one lab in the USA has permission to even attempt. And making a Human Dinosaur hybrid?! Are you insane?!"
"I...I wanted to prove myself, prove that...That I was better then anyone else, I wanted to be a god...And instead became a monster..." He pulled out a large pair of eggs from his labcoat pockets. "These...Are the two only viable embryos I was able to create..." He dropped them. Roxanne looked away as the eggs hit the ground and shattered covering the floor in embryonic fluid and left two tiny curled up saurian forms dead on the ground. As much as she hated the Indominus seeing a egg callously destroyed like that cut at the motherly loopers heart.
"I already called the US government and Costa Rica officials before I came here, there will be a boat waiting to take me away to be put on trail..." Wu dithered before approaching Roxanne. "When John died I did something disrespectful to his memory. I still his cane and replaced it with a fake, I felt no one else deserved something so precious to his memory. It's in my employee flat, I trust that you as his heir can chose what best to do with it."
Roxanne nodded "...He loved you like a son..."
"And I betrayed his memory, I'm sorry."
Roxanne watched him go in silence. 'Sorry dad, you may forgive him for what he does, but I don't think I ever will.'
…
"Soooo I can't actually pay you in money, I don't keep any loop to loop and people will notice if I divert Jurassic World funds soooo." Roxanne shrugged as the four younger loopers looked around her subspace "Help yourself to a few things each, Weapons are just past the spaceships. touch anything in the hotel I eat you...Oh there's a couple of plants you guys might like."
"Hotel? You keep a hotel?" Ann questioned Roxanne nodding and picking up some tokens off a desk.
"Yup, I run the only Looper Only hotel in the multiverse, I usually take it out during massive fused loops, people trade me what ever they want for loop long stays. I've got...Well pretty much anything you can imagine in there. Here." She tossed them all a couple of tokens "Enough for you and the rest when they loop, each good for ten loops each if you ever want to take a load off."
"Your inviting thieves into your hotel." Akira chuckled the two he was holding vanishing into his pocket.
"Your already in my subspace, and people have stolen shit from me before. Ahh here's one of the plants I was talking about! Littlefoot didn't say where their from but if you sick you can give this thing a sample of your blood and in a few hours it's created a fruit that'll cure you without fail. I've got a green house full of them at this point so help yourself!"

"You're not going to win," Igor said to his duplicate, who was sitting in his chair.
The fake just stared at him. "And why not?" he asked him.
The real Igor, in a cell, had chuckled. "Isn't it obvious?" he asked him. "It's not just the humans you're manipulating that are on the playing field. There are others who have the gift of the Wild Card, and if not them, there are those that who would notice that I'm gone." He then gave out a smile. "And while the humans are mostly unaware of your actions, some still have a direct connection to this place."
The fake just laughed. "All the more reason to go on with this plan. Because those humans are no longer aware of your presence, it just gives me more freedom to dictate my players."
Igor shook his head. "And you're still a fool, Yaldabaoth." That caught his attention. "While it is true that the Fool is a powerful thing, you're more of an Inversed Fool. I wasn't talking about the humans."
And it was at that moment when the singing and piano music within the Velvet Room stopped. Entering the Velvet Room were two blindfolded males and a woman whose hairdo blocked her ears.
"Did you think the Velvet Room was empty when you took over and made it your own?" one of the males asked the fake Igor. "We've heard and seen everything."
The real Igor's smile was genuine while the fake Igor was shocked. "DA," he said, looking at the artist. "Belladonna. Nanashi. Welcome back."
The impostor glared. "More of your apprentices?" he asked the real one.
"Don't mistake their actions as apathetic," the real Igor replied. "They've been busy looking for a wayward apprentice while Lavenza's relatives were fixing their current state."
"Personally," a voice replied, a short-haired woman wearing blue replied, "I find this kind of parlor trick to be rather...unpleasant. And when I heard about my youngest sister being split in two, I decided to take a break from my personal quest and...check up on her condition, as the humans would say."
"Your appearance in Shibuya DID cause quite a ruckus, Elizabeth," an older woman replied, walking in. "But we hope that your newfound ability comes in handy."
Elizabeth smiled at her older sister. "Margaret," she said, "I know all too well that you worry about my well-being. But I have been getting stronger ever since my departure and meeting one of the other Wild Cards."
"Yes," a male voice replied. "And you still have me worry, Elizabeth. Knowing you, we had to explain why we're rather inactive. But Yaldabaoth decided to force our hands when he put not only both Contract Holders and Lavenza at stake." He then glared at the fake Igor. "You weren't planning to uphold your end of the bargain even when they won."
"That's because humans are rather Chaotic," the fake Igor replied, dropping the smile. "They're not a species that deserves free will, and..."
"They are what gave you life to begin with," Igor retorted. "Or have you forgotten the circumstances of your existence?"
And that's when the final voice was heard.
"And you've become the very thing you've fought against, Yaldabaoth," the youngest replied, shocking the fake Igor. "The minds of humanity are not your playthings. And as such, you, a being of Order, have become the Chaos he's trying so hard to quash."
The fake Igor then growled, but chuckled. "And yet the game still goes on," he said. "Even without my existence. Shame I have to erase every single one of you..." Then Igor started chuckling. "And what's so funny?"
"I don't think you'll get the chance," Igor replied. "Check your pocket."
The Fake Igor did and was shocked at the object in question. And judging by the looks of all seven Velvet Room residents, they know what the item was...and Igor's chuckling increased.
Nanashi had cracked his knuckles while Belladonna did some stretches. DA didn't even need to see what it was, but he gave out a growl. Lavenza intensified her death glare while Theodore and Margaret brought out their Compendiums.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, gave out a very sadistic smile. "Forgive my language, Master," she said, "and I'm still working on my compliments, but...you're a magnificent bastard."
"Forgiven," the real Igor said. "You don't live for thousands of years without learning a few things." He then looked at Yaldabaoth and smirked. "That is just an insurance policy to make sure the Velvet Room remains intact and they focus on you. Call it a parting gift."
"Upstart blue-clad assho..." And that's when the first All-Out Attack had started, cutting off the fake in horror.
…
Outside the Velvet Room, the Wild Cards and their friends (as well as two other groups of Persona Users) were watching the whole fight...or rather, the outright beatdown of the Usurper.
"I think we should tape this for Minato and Shinjiro," Junpei said to Futuba. "They're not here, but they probably want to see what happened."
Futuba nodded as she looked at the others. "Sure thing, Coach," she replied. "Although I don't remember there being this many people here."
"Igor wanted us to meet you guys," Maya said, looking around. "This must have been something he was planning in advance."
Tatsuya nodded. "He IS a servant of Philemon," he replied. "Magnificent planning must run in the chain of command."
Kei Nanjo got the idea. "Although I'm not sure why a coin toss had to decide between my organization and Kirijo's here," he muttered.
"Probably because the other places we meet are way too public for our knowledge," Mitsuru replied. "That, and by now, we can't use our old dorms."
Yu got the idea as he looked at the beatdown, cringing. "That has to hurt, though," he muttered.
"It's also very cathartic," Morgana replied, crawling in cat form. "This guy used the Metaverse for a dangerous game, knowing far too well that there would be people who would abuse the power to manipulate emotions. I'd say he deserves it."
No one could deny that Morgana was right.
"That reminds me," Mitsuru said, "I've been meaning to ask...due to the fact that you're able to access the Metaverse via your cell phones, would that mean Aegis and Narukami have access to it?"
Naoto looked at her. "That's the same line of questioning I had with Akira and the others being possible to enter the TV World," she added. "I had been trailing you and the Shadow Operatives for undercover work, and I saw that Aegis here had the same gift Narukami had."
Akira blinked. "Maybe after we see the results of how this turns out," he said. "Although it probably wouldn't just be me."
Mark just gave out a sigh. "Entering the TV," he muttered. "And I thought Maki's consciousness was confusing...no offense meant."
"None taken, Mark," Maki replied.
Katsuya thought about that one. "First time I heard about it," he said, "I was skeptical, but then I remembered that Tatsuya and I were Persona Users...so we did a little experimenting."
"Long story short," Tatsuya replied. "our hands entered the TV. And Katsuya was one of the few on the force that believed that the Inaba Case had actual fact."
Yosuke then gave them a look. "If it wasn't for the circumstances," he said, "I would have wished you guys had shown up in Baseline."
"Yeah," Jun muttered, "it was not a good moment for any of us."
"We were busy on our careers," Reiji replied. "It's been ages since our adventures against the Snow Queen and SEBEC, and we mostly kept tabs with the Shadow Operatives on activities involving Personas. Heck, Nanjo here is more of a financial backer for the rest of us like Kirijo here."
"Same goes for me and Kanami," Rise said. "Not everyone makes a transition from Idol Singer to Solo Careers, and we were some of the lucky few that did. We still kept in contact with Yu and the others, and Nanako's in high school by now."
Ryuji nodded. "It doesn't surprise us in the least," he said. "Yusuke here is an aspiring painter, so he'd probably be busy with his work unless he's got a block."
"And I know exactly who to turn to in order to get rid of that block," Yusuke added, smirking at his friends. "An artist tends to find inspiration in the most unlikely of sources."
Kanji nodded. "That reminds me," he said, "I've been busy on a project ever since we were first introduced." He then brought out small plush objects based on the Phantom Thieves and their Personae. "I couldn't decide on which one to settle on, so I decided to go for both."
That caught the entirety of the Phantom Thieves off-guard.
"Whoa," Haru said. "They're...adorable."
"Not what I was thinking," Makoto replied, "but the likeness is amazing."
Ann nodded. "What kind of material did you use, Kanji?"
Kanji shrugged. "Same yarn I usually have," he said. "Just in bulk. You'd be surprised how much of a hit the Jack Frost plushies are."
"Now I understand why Shinjiro started to panic when I saw him feed Koromaru," Aegis replied, the dog resting.
"It's not that embarrassing," Ekichi said. "It's not often you get to see a guy that dabbles in plushie-making and being proud of it."
Ryuji gave out a giant grin. "Still, kudos, Kanji," he said to the older male.
Yusuke nodded. "You do have the makings of an artist, Tatsumi," he said, smiling.
"Thanks, man," Kanji said.
Yosuke gave out a smile before looking at the screen. "They're not running out of energy here," he said.
"Well, he is a God," Akira replied. "The man has to have a healing ability somewhere, and adding the Omnipotent Orb may have been vital to making sure that their assault on Yaldabaoth does not let up."
"Unstoppable force meets immovable object," Aegis muttered. "But I sense there's another purpose involved with Igor's move."
"Like what?" Labrys asked her younger sister.
"The Velvet Room itself. I believe Igor pulled it off in order to make sure the battle doesn't damage the collective unconscious."
Somehow, Igor's move seemed a lot more brilliant in hindsight.
"He's a lot more brilliant than I initially suspected," Kei muttered.
And the video continued from there, Yaldabaoth having screaming moments.
"Stop it!" the fake Igor yelled, before getting hit with another All-Out Attack. "STOP IT!" he yelled. "ANGRY!"
"That's just more entertaining than it should be," Teddie muttered, hearing the man yelling those.
All Yaldabaoth knew was pain, and the Residents weren't even going all-out in their beatings. In fact, they were getting rather...creative in their All-Out Attacks.
Igor just smiled within his cell as he waited for the impostor, usurper, and walking hypocritical god-complex to either surrender or fade out, and then he can end the video.
'The important things about a contract,' Igor thought, smiling as he relaxed on his cell bed, 'are the loopholes and the exact words. While it is true that I cannot interfere in a quest, what I can do is put them in the right direction. That, and I never directly interfered.'

"O-oh! So you're Loopers from another Branch! ...I did get that right, right?"
"Yes Akira," Ruby said to the Looper from the newest Persona Loop from her seat on what is charitably called his bed. "So, how are you getting used to Looping so far?"
"Well, I can never take the Big Bang Burger challenge again thanks to my trauma, but otherwise it's been surprisingly fun," Akira shrugged before getting a pensive look. "Say, I think one of the Inaba Loopers mentioned something about a group of Loopers rebelling against baseline or something? Are you...?"
Pyhrra, along with the rest of teams RWBY and JNPR, nodded from their respective places in his room. "Yes, that happens to be us. Why do you ask?"
Akira nodded as a small smile grew on his face. "Well, then I guess this Loop will go by rather quickly this time. Not only is everyone here at the start of the Loop, but your Personas will probably be extra powerful because of your rebellious nature and your nature as Loopers. In fact, I kinda have been looking forward to it ever since I heard about you guys."
The others slowly began to smile and nod at the thought.
"Yeah, this will be cool," Yang smiled and nodded. "Now I'll be able to Punch people with my fists AND with my mind."
"I can break GHOST Legs!" Nora grinned eagerly.
"Plus it has to fit with rebelllious spirit, right? It'll be perfect for us!" Ruby cheered, an eager smile on her face.
Akira nodded. This was going to be-
…
-completely unexpected.
Teams RWBY and JNPR, sitting in their various spots in the coffee shop, refused to loop anywhere near the native Looper. After a long moment of silence from the most recent events in the loop, the leader of the Phantom thieves sighed and broke the silence.
"...so, I think it's important that we learn something every loop," Akira said slowly, mimicking something he heard from a tabletop rpg GM once. "What have we learned here today?"
"If we want to steal the mob boss's heart, don't join the organization and become an unstoppable ally by breaking all of his opposition's legs at once, thus creating an impossible to beat mental representation of yourself in his Palace?" Nora offered with a nervous grin.
"Castrating Shadows in a Palace before letting them rejoin their host leads to some strange consequences, especially in the case of Kamoshida," Blake mumbled as she pointedly looked away from Akira's wince.
"Running an art school from prison leads to some truly disturbing art, and one should never encourage that to the forgery artist's shadow?" Ren replied in well-faked nonchalance.
"A wedding ring running off of ancient and incredible powers from another loop are a good substitute for Ultimate Personas under the right circumstances? ...sorry," Pyhrra put her face in her hands as Akira shuddered.
"Don't ever get a maid," Jaune said simply as he pointedly ignored the fresh bruising on his face.
"Never take the Big Bang Burger challenge," Yang said, looking a little sick. "At least, not without looking for any health code violations first."
"Never split the party," Weiss huffed as the rest of her team glared at her as she added under her breath, "at least not when you're a mascot character."
"...just because you go about being a thief in a mystical world based on the unconcious doesn't mean its okay to be a vigilante in real life," Ruby sat in silence as the group's glares turned towards her. "...especially when your standard weapon load out makes you look like the Grimm Reaper and, as a result, makes the optional super boss as strong as the Mob Boss's Cognitive Nora."
"And I have learned that if you want the visiting Loopers to get Personas, you don't let them use their out of Loop powers," Akira finished, punctuating his point by banging his head against the table. "This wasn't even a Null Loop. How did you all mess that up that badly?"
"In our defense, our baseline selves never really had to work hard to overcome their fear of authority in the first place," Weiss did not say any of this with a sullen pout. "And that became less of a problem as the Loops went on."
Akira's only response was to continue to bang his head against the table, prompting Sojiro to yell at him to stop that. None of the perpetrators in the room blamed him. They probably wouldn't be able to live this down either anytime soon.

Caroline and Justine looked at the persona that Akira just made.
"It is the right kind of Persona…" Caroline stated, approvingly.
"But did it get the skill we requested? He better not be joking!" Justine yelled out.
The Persona responded by moving its hands, and the Twins soon was covered in a dark green aura. They both looked at each other.
"Huh, it did…Caroline?"
"Yes, Justine?"
"We'll ignore any Personas born from Public Executions, from now on." Justine deadpaned.
"How was I supposed to know I was going to create Hecatoncheires when I offered up Lilim for the Public Execution!?" Akira yelled out!

"1. Even though you have magic powers, messy hair and glasses, that does not make you Harry Potter."
Harry and Dudley covered their mouth to hide their laughter. Most of the time, Harry would be mad if someone else got mistaken for him.
He couldn't blame them for mistaking Akira for him, they both looked very similar.
"You sure he's not a lost Potter Relative?" Vernon asked Harry, who nodded.
"I'm sure!" Harry said, the Dursleys and Harry were enjoying the Wizarding World making complete fools of themselves on Television. All because of them failing to Akira over and over again on live television.
…
" also doesn't make Akechi Draco."
Lucious Malfoy twitches his eyebrow in anger.
Why was his Son, Akechi Malfoy, stealing his Dark Artifacts, giving to the Ministry of Magic for a large sum of money and not coming home with it!?
…
"Where is all this money coming from!?" Ron heard his mother yelled out in confusion, before turning to the culprit.
"If only you lived in Baseline, Akechi…" Ron muttered out.
"Hey, if I was here in baseline, then I would be no better than Draco!" Akechi pointed out.
…
" 's Persona is Johana, not Ghostrider the Spirit of Vengeance"
Ghost Rider looked at the new Looper before decided to say it.
"Ok, I'll bite. Why do you look like a female version of me?"
Mokoto, whose head is now a skull on fire, just stares at Ghost Rider before she answered.
"Apparently, having a Persona also being a Motorcycle, somehow qualified…" she grumbled out.
"Wait, they can be Motorcycles now? Why hasn't anyone told me!?" Ghost Rider ranted.
"Probably because I'm the first to do so." She answered, to Ghost Rider's Surprise.
"That would make sense actually…"
…
"8. It is also not a transformer"
Ratchet watched in amusement as the 'Arcee' of this Loop swore up a storm.
"Well, at least we know the Loops have a chance of Making any Looper loop in as Transformers." Jack Darby stated, giving a nervous laugh as Mokoto, who was replacing Arcee continued swearing.

Morganna yowled in frustration as the leader of the Phantom Theives, and Ryuji, approached their compatriot.
"Hey, what's got your fur all in a bunch?" Ryuji asked as they let their friend out.
"It's- it's nothing," Morganna lied quickly as she left the cell. "L-let's get going already."
Akira raised an eyebrow, but considering that the shadows seemed to be especially riled up this time around, he figured it could wait until later. And so it did.
Until about 5 minutes later when they turned a corner and Morganna was missing.
"Wait- what the- Wherre did that effing cat go?" Ryuji sputtered, his eyes darting back and forth as he searched fro the suspiciously mascot shaped thief.
"Maybe they went to use the restroom?" Akira hedged, prompting Ryuji to give him a Look. It was an exapsperated Look, but it was a Look nonetheless.
"Let's just go find that cat..."
A few minutes of searching later, and they found their compatriot. Behind the bars of the cell that, until earlier, had held Kamoshida.
"I... I can explain?" Morganna laughed nervously.
"Can you?" Akira asked in genuine curiosity.
"...No I can't..." The cat sighed, plopping down on its rump. "I had Woken up early this time, so I had decided to try and reunite with you guys earlier than usual. However... something went wrong, and I ended up in the United States."
Ryuji's eyes bugged out of his head. "The-The United States? Of America?"
"Yep. I ended up in America. I was just as shocked as you, so I tried to fly back here, only to end up in Russia somehow..." Morganna admitted, a blush forming on its face. "I tried making my way to the coast, which I eventually did... only it was in Africa."
Akira grimaced. "At least you've learned a lot about geography..."
"Well, thankfully, despite taking a boat to South Korea, I ended up somehow back in Shibuya. At that point I tried finding you guys again, but... I ended up in my cell somehow," Morganna sighed, the blush at an all time high. "I just... sort of gave up at that point and waited for you guys."
"As hilarious as that was, we should get out of here now before-"
Before Ryuji could finish his sentence, some knights showed up. Without any more cues than that, Akira, now in his Joker outfit, tore off the shadow's mask and the group got into positions.
"I think I'll take all of my frustration out on you first!" Morganna declared. "Zorro!"
And so, a Persona appeared and annihilated the Shadow. However, all of the combatants paused when they noticed that something was off.
Instead of its usual color scheme, its shirts were much simpler and white in coloration while its pants were more green than black and held up by some sort of sash. Its cap and hat were missing, and the headband it wore was the same dark green that is pants were. And to top it off, instead of one rapier, it was wielding three sword that were suspiciously katana shaped.
"...First, I end up on that weird island and fell down the well," The persona grumbled to the surprise of everybody. "Then I end up in a duel with that strange guy in the cape in that strange sea of souls crap, and now I've now been summoned by a cat."
The swordsman, known as Roronoa Zoro, spat out his blade and looked at the group. "Can anyone tell me what the hell's going on here?"
"Things are making a lot more sense, for one thing," Ryuji nodded as Akira began explaining what he had guessed had happened.

Tae Takemi almost sighed when the boy entered her clinic asking for medicine. Another person coming for cheap drugs, no doubt. He led the boy into her examination room. He looked at her and gave her a blank look. "Doc, I need help."
He sighed before rambling, "I wondered into a castle that had once been my school that was now ruled by a pervert volleyball teacher that adapted himself as a king of the castle. He threw me into a dungeon, where I broke out after becoming demon possessed. And now my cat is talking to me. It's the third time that's happened in as many years."
Tae blinked for several seconds as a black cat leaped out of his school bag and...for lack of a better term...smacked him in the back of the head with a paw. And somehow it seemed to make the boy flinch in pain. Tae looked at a chart in her hand before muttered, "Alright. I can prescribe you some anti-psychotics. Or maybe you should go see a priest."
Akira looked surprised. "Huh? Oh, no, that not necessary. No, I'm feeling like I'm coming down with the Flu. Just some anti-biotics if you would."
Morgana smacked his paw against his own face.

Status: PENDING (Akechi was not looping when this was written)
Akira looked over his Metaverse outfit. On occasion, his outfit, as well as the others, changes between loops. It was interesting, though, there were some loops that they refused to speak about. This Loop however…
"Are you S***ing me!? We're Phantom THEIVES, not Phantom Assassins!" Akira heard Ryuji cursed out. For some reason, Everyone, including Akechi, were dressed to looked like Assassins from that one branch, that Akira have trouble remembering.
"It makes sense in my case, but not the rest of you." Akechi spoke, with everyone else present agreeing on that.
"Now what are we going to this Loop?" Futaba asked.

"Why the hell do you have a bullet-proof vest?" Ryuji asked Akira, confused. "Akechi always aims for your head."
"It's not because of Akechi," the Joker replied. "There's always that Loop where I get the riot act from Sojiro or Sae."
Morgana gave out a flinch. "You're going to need a cup in that case," the cat snarked.
"That, I already thought of." He then groaned. "I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop."
When they opened the door to LeBlanc, however, they had noticed a grey-haired visitor with a blue shirt, just sitting there.
"Narukami?" all three of them asked him.
Yu said nothing, but just gave a glare at the man with glasses. "So, we meet face to face, Kurusu," he said. "I think you have some explaining to do..."
"For the record," Akira muttered, "I had no idea that Nanako was my pen-pal and Shido was trying to make my life a living hell again, so could you give me a break?" He then noticed that Ryuji and Morgana had bolted...and groaned.
How the hell did his lack of contact with Nanako (this Loop, at least) managed to bring the man whose name is literally "You Become A God"? Worse...the man wasn't Awake.
This was going to suck.

Dojima blinked Awake as he saw Adachi drag an unconscious Nanako onto the couch. He let a Ping which Adachi turned to him and gave a return Ping.
"Is there a reason why my daughter is unconscious!?" Dojima growled out, to which Adachi blinked at.
"I had to stop Nanako from reaching the 'school'…" Adachi spat in disgust, which confused Dojima. Adachi noticed Dojima's confused expression. "Did you check your Loop Memories!?" Adachi asked Dojima, who shook his head.
"No, why…" Dojima stiffed as he looked over his memories for the Loop. The whole world, this Loop, decided to deal with the overpopulation problem, by KILLING all children who are not smart enough!? Dojima's response to this revelation was shown instantly as he transformed into his Demonic Form.
"Come, Adachi! We have a world to change!". Dojima commanded Adachi, who gave a psychotic grin.
"I was going to join you even if you didn't want me to." Adachi spoke, Magetsu Izanagi hovering over him, as if ready for a war.

It only took Akira a couple of moments to realize just what had changed in this Loop and looking down at his paws only seemed to confirm it as a smiling human Morgana stood in the center of the attic saying, "Finally! I would've thought this had happened sooner rather than later!"
Akira just padded over to where normally Morgana would be before bedtime and said, "Loops often have a switch in position like this, it was inevitable, only a matter of when not if, Morgana."
Morgana smiled and said, "You know from my Loop Memories, Lady Ann seems rather smitten with me! In fact I think I should go and pay her a visit!" and immediately Akira couldn't resist and said to him with a catlike grin on his face, "Are you sure about that? You had quite a busy day today, let's go to sleep."
Morgana paled as he heard Akira say those familiar words and said, "It wasn't that busy a day, Akira!" to which Akira smugly replied, "Socializing with friends can be quite draining, something you know very well."
And with that Akira padded in front of Morgana and said, "Like I said, Morgana, let's go to sleep..."

"Uhh, Akira..." Ryuji said unsure about the plan that Akira had concocted with the aid of an Awake Ann, Futaba and Morgana along with the aid of a willing but UnAwake Haru on stopping Akechi from murdering Haru's father before he could confess his crimes and then caused the general population to turn against them...
"If you're still unsure about this plan Ryuji you can still opt out, but you have to admit, you've seen the test runs you know this works" Akira said to Ryuji while just focusing on fixing the laptop right in front of him.
"I-it's not that I'm worried about, I know that but we really can't afford to have him still trapped by this as the Palace collapses, but you say the Palace transporter works?" Ryuji asked as Morgana soon spoke saying, "I had to act as the test dummy sending myself from Kamoshida's Castle right into Sae's Casino, the trap is going to work Ryuji, we just need to wait for Futaba and Ann to give us the all clear on the trap."
Almost on cue, Akira looked at his spare cell phone used only for Phantom Thieves business since that one Loop where Shido's Conspiracy managed to hack into their regular phones...
Ann: Trap's ready! And I only ended up having to get out of the 2nd Level of Qimranut this time!
Futaba: Either way the transporter is ready along with the rest of the trap, we're good to go tomorrow
Akira smirked as he saw this and said, "Looks like its time, Calling Card's ready?"
Ryuji said, "Yup, me and Yusuke are ready to get it out!" as Akira looked out at the window and smiled to himself...
…
THE NEXT DAY
Goro Akechi knew what his Father's orders were to do, assassinate the Shadow of Okumura before the Palace Collapses thus killing him and preventing his crimes from becoming public...
What he didn't expect though was at the moment he raised his gun ready to shoot, for a pile of gigantic pancakes to come crashing down upon him and by the time he got out out the pile of pancakes, looked around to see that instead of the Big Bang Space Station surrounding him, instead was the darkened paths of Mementos...
The shrieks of Shadows approaching him surrounded him as he got ready to fight, the last thought he had before going into combat was that his Father was definitely not going to like the outcomes of this...

The Phantom Thieves of Hearts had seen many sights over the times they were Looping, from journeying into the TV World when they Looped into Yasogami High in Inaba, journeying in the Rift Between Time and countless other sights across the Multiverse...
The sight of Mystery Food X on the countertop to Cafe Leblanc was quickly becoming a familiar sight and scent to them much to their displeasure...
Akira had to make his thoughts heard saying, "This is the fourth time you've made Mystery Food X while trying to make curry Yusuke, I think that you should probably" He was quickly cut off though by Yusuke saying, "I was almost certain that I had it right that time, I've managed to cook other foods perfectly, why can't I make curry?!"
Ann quickly said, "Well, maybe it's just pure dumb luck influenced by Yggdrasil, right Morgana?" Morgana quickly shook his head from where he was sitting with Futaba, in the furthest booth from the countertop saying, "It'd be considered dumb luck if he slipped while holding all the ingredients and all of them managed to combine with a falling coffee shelf in the pot to form it, this isn't dumb luck, I think he might be cursed."
"As much as I had to say it bud, I think that may be it, I saw you cook the curry right there with all of the ingredients prepared already by Akira and somehow despite doing it perfectly you still made Mystery Food X" Ryuji said loudly to everyone in the room as Haru said, "Well, should we try to see if there's another Looper Awake here who's experienced in Curse removal?"
"Nope, we checked it earlier and unless they're preparing for a Stealth Run in this Loop, there isn't anyone, we're stuck with Inari's curse over curry" Futaba said from where she was sitting as Akira said, "Well, at least it's not as bad as the first time right?"
Yusuke frowned as he looked away from his work in shame remembering that...

Status: I think it was rejected.
Akira Woke up in the attic to find a fox in the place that Morgana usually occupied. The fox smirked at him and said, "Judging from your face, I must be throwing you for a Loop."
"Yeah, but I just Woke up too."
"Nick Wilde, visiting Looper from Zootopia."
"Akira Kurusu, local Looper. So I take it you're replacing Morgana this Loop."
"Yep. Don't worry, I've had my own share of adventures in the Metaverse before this Loop, so I've been doing a good job of being the mentor in his place. Check your Loop Memories if you want to."
Akira did just that and found that Nick was true to his word. Outside of Mementos being more tiring than usual ("foxes turning in cars" isn't exactly a common thought among the people of Tokyo), Nick was keeping close to what Morgana was doing in baseline. However, there was something about Nick's Persona that made Akira ask what was, in hindsight, a stupid question.
"So, you're a girl, right?"
It took Nick a few seconds to process the question. "Excuse me?"
"It's just that you have a female Persona and all…"
"Do I sound like a girl to you?"
"Well, no, but Morgana sounds like a girl while still being male and has a male Persona as well."
"…You know, I was going to let you leave tonight, but," Nick leaped off the dresser and stepped in front of the stairs. "Judging by what you're saying, you're clearly way too out of it to anything other than go to sleep, so I'm going to make sure you don't take a step down these stairs."
Akira grimaced, until he was struck by an idea. He smirked and said, "Okay." He then made a mad dash to the window…
…until an elephant tranquilizer dart hit his butt and he collapsed onto the floor.
Nick put the dart gun back into his Pocket. "Gotta remember to thank Judy for that."

The Revenge Request website was running just as planned for the trio of rogue Persona users that made up Strega, they were making good money with their requests and this latest request should be rather profitable for them...
Sure Chidori had brought up the idea of this being a trap considering that the target was the night shift janitor of Gekkoukan Elementary and that the cash offered for the assassination seemed a little too good to be true, but Takaya waved them off saying it's probably because he pissed off some high-powered loon with cash and so the three of them made their way to the Elementary School where soon enough, they would find their target in his coffin right in the middle of the school playground...
Chidori looked around with a strange feeling in her being saying, "I know you said that this would be easy money, but I can't help but get the feeling we're being watched" as Jin said, "Don't be too worried, Ikutsuki told us SEES are busy in Tartarus today so we're good" before heading to pry open the coffin.
He didn't get too far before having to jump back with the rest of Strega as bullets flew at him before Chidori called out, "Look!" to see a 10-year old kid on the roof wearing a red Featherman costume holding a pistol and aiming it at them with Takaya smirking and calling out to the kid, "Shouldn't you be asleep by now squirt?" to which the costumed kid saying, "I'm fully Awake thank you very much!"
"You sure you know how to shoot that thing, you could shoot your eye out!" Jin mocked the kid before the kid called back, "That was a warning shot, next shot I make is going to hit one of you"
"Why don't you come on down, you could hurt yourself up there" Takaya mockingly said before the kid said, "I would but I don't want to give up higher ground, so why don't you come up here and make me?"
Chidori watched as Jin took the kid up on his offer and went up to the roof and said, "You do realize what we're capable of right kid?" as the kid said back, "The fact that I'm Awake and moving right now seems to suggest the same for me..." before beginning to fidget with the pistol before dropping it and 'accidentally' shooting Jin in the Knee causing him to fall down from the roof.
"Jin!" Chidori called out in shock before Takaya snarled and called out his Persona Hypnos and said, "You wanted to fight kid, then let's get started" as Jin fell to the ground. If they saw the kid's mouth now though, they'd see a evil smile on his face as the kid grasped his mask and called out, "Phoenix Ranger Featherman Persona! Arsene!" As the mask was ripped off and Arsene made his appearance before Chidori looked behind them at a sudden sound behind them to see yet another kid around the same age as the first grasping the mask to their yellow Featherman costume and also calling out, "Phoenix Ranger Featherman Persona! Seiten Tansei!" before the Monkey King Persona made his presence as Chidori and Jin came over to Takaya.
"I had a feeling this was a trap" Chidori said bluntly as Jin harped back, "Shut it, we need our Personas!" and soon called out Medea and Moros soon after that with Takaya saying, "We still outnumber you, you little brat" as the Red Ranger came down from the roof and said, "Not for long you don't"
With that he snapped his fingers kids in Feathermen Costumes came out from the surrounding bushes and trees causing Chidori to pale as she quickly put two and two together as the kid rangers began to summon...
"Phoenix Ranger Featherman Persona! Hecate!" The ranger in green called out as she summoned her persona while the blue ranger called out, "Phoenix Ranger Featherman Persona! Kamu Su-sanno!" bringing out the God of Storms...
The black ranger posed like the others before summoning her persona, "Phoenix Ranger Featherman Persona! Anat!" Calling out the transforming Persona as the pink ranger did her poses before calling out, "Phoenix Ranger Featherman Persona! Astarte!" bringing out the giant skull.
And the last of them was the cat-like being in the White Ranger costume with it posing before saying, "Phoenix Ranger Featherman Persona! Mercurius!" before bringing out the God's Messenger... Chidori looked up in an uncharacteristic show of fear only to see a glowing orb calling out, "Phoenix Ranger Support Alpha Prometheus is online!"
With that the red ranger said cheekily to them, "You still want to fight? Last chance to back out!"
Takaya snarled out and soon let loose with Hypnos with Moros and Medea soon following...
The battle was flashy and climactic much like any Featherman TV Show and just like Featherman the good guys won, with Takaya and Jin left on the ground unconscious as Chidori had a knee down, clearly exhausted from the fight...The kid rangers on the other hand looked hardly the worse for wear and seemed as if they had more energy to fight so she knew it was hopeless...
"I surrender" Chidori managed to get out before the red ranger said, "Good work team" and then the yellow and blue rangers came over to handcuff her and tied up the other members of Strega. She didn't struggle as they planted the handcuffs on her and her eyes widened as she saw the white ranger transform into a van before she was put in the back of the van along with the rest of Strega as the rangers all climbed into their van and drove off...
What they didn't know was that their fight with Strega had gained an audience from a distance...
"Wow!" An amazed Ken Amada said as he finished watching the fight through his binoculars as Akihiko took this in, "So let me get this straight, there's a bunch of kids and something that can transform into a car with Personas and all in Feathermen costumes am I right?"
"You got it pretty much down, though that was a pretty good fight" Junpei said to the group that was watching as the fourth person there Mitsuru said, "Ken if you can try to see if you can get closer with your classmates"
"Huh?" Ken asked her before saying, "You think those Persona users are in my class?"
"It's a possibility, I'll have the Kirijo Group put in an investigation into this, either way a group of unknown Persona users is troubling, until we can find them and get their motives to action, we need to be vigilant..."
The others nodded as SEES quickly went back to their dorms for the night...

Tohru Adachi Awoke to the sound of an audio recording to find himself inside a small office that seemed very familiar to him following his last set of Loops...
'Not another one of these Fused Loops' Adachi thought to himself as he braced himself for the usual droning of Phone Guy before he heard the phrase, "By the way, I really hope you're wide Awake enough to hear this but there's certain characteristics involving several of our new animatronics as part of the business deal between Fazbear Entertainment and Atlus."
The sound of their Hub Producer's name made Adachi a little more on edge as he grabbed the tablet and quickly began looking through them as he let out a Ping trying to let any Looper know he was here, unfortunately he only received one Ping back, one that he was pretty sure was the Phone Guy's elsewhere in the Loop...
"First off, there's Tomoe and Sakuya that you need to deal with, those two tend to travel together and are never far apart from each other, chances are they'll be down the same hallway together one right after the other" Phone Guy said and Adachi quickly moved to shut the door to his right seeing the two Persona-themed animatronics in the right window as Phone Guy continued to speak once the two of them left the hallway and went towards the kitchen...
"Another thing about them that you should be worried about is that the two of them tend to go to the kitchen after a while, because of the way the ventilation system works here, you'll be getting the scents of whatever's cooking in the kitchen which tends to lead to hallucinations and collapsing on the job if you let the two of them loose in the kitchen...so you have to keep them distracted from going into the kitchen by doing several things...First one of the tv's in the employee lounge here is rigged to play action movies like Trial Of The Dragon, Tomoe likes her action movies going and I've rigged a remote to play it" Phone Guy said as Adachi took the mentioned remote and turned it on seeing the tv on the screen begin to play the Kung Fu movie as Tomoe soon dragged Sakuya over to the lounge for them to watch the film.
"Trust me don't let them in the kitchen, it's not pleasant for anyone, for the cooks, for the customers and most importantly here, you" Phone Guy said as Adachi could only nod at hearing that, knowing exactly what Chie and Yukiko were capable of in the kitchen...The first time he saw them make Mystery Food X was something that was imprinted in his mind and could never get out...
"Next is the terrifying threesome of Take, Jiraiya and Izanagi as I refer to them as" Phone Guy said as Adachi quickly looked through the cameras, seeing Jiraiya and Izanagi in a section called the Ninja's Battlefield facing off against a larger version of Take-Mikazuchi as Phone Guy droned, "The three of them tend to stay in position whenever you have the camera on them but if you don't keep an eye on them they'll tend to rush you down in several ways...Either all of them down one hallway, a split between the two hallways, or 1 on each hallway and the third to smash the window" Adachi merely stared at the window of his booth as he had a split second vision of Izanagi crashing through the window and on instinct raised a metal gate to protect the window before Phone Guy said, "As long as the camera is on the three of them, you'll be fine, just don't leave them alone for a while..."
"Finally there's Teddie and Sukona" Phone Guy said and looked across his window at the stage it was opposite to where Teddie and Sukona stood on stage..."Sukona doesn't tend to Awake until the last couple of days in which she will use all of the data gained from the other animatronics and will attempt to get you stuffed in a suit in any way that she can...As for Teddie though, he only moves when the Power runs out so don't run out of power..."
Adachi on the other hand was kept busy looking through all of the cameras there, trying to make sure all of the Animatronics were otherwise occupied...too distracted by this task that he didn't notice one of the posters in the hallway begin to change from a poster of Teddie's Gang before slowly becoming a poster of Magetsu-Izanagi...

Akira hated getting arrested.
While that seems like something that applies to everyone, Akira specifically hated one particular arrest: the one caused by Akechi. While the more severe consequences werepretty much a non-issue, even in Baseline, there was still the drugs and the beating to go through and then there's all the hassle of pretending to be dead afterwards until the heist on Shido's Palace. All and all, it's not a pleasant time.
But, sadly, the only way around that seemed to be to stop Okumura from dying, which required a lot of perpetration and most of the other Phantom Thieves Awake, which meant that in Loops like this where it was just him and Morgana Awake, he was stuck with the arrest. So it should be no surprise that Akira would engage in more insane antics than usual as soon as he got out in such Loops.
Which brings us to Akira's most recent moment of "how is this kid not in a mental hospital yet," which was causing Sojiro to double take so hard, it took him 5 seconds to say "What the...?!"
"Like my outfit?"
"Why are you wearing that?!"
"Well, I'm not supposed to be around and I have to go to the Diet Building at some point, so..."
"Dressed like that?!"
"I mean, you can't tell it's me under here."
"Yeah, but you're going to draw way more attention than you would have if you just wore your regular clothes!"
"Come on. Morgana likes it." The cat nodded his head at that statement.
"Morgana is clearly biased here! There is no way for you to justify wearing-!"
"Morning, Boss," Ryuji said as he enter the cafe. "How's Akira do-," it was at that moment that he noticed the scene in front of him and his brain stopped for a moment. "...When did Morgana get so big?"
Akira smirked under the mask of his cat costume. I think this won't turn out so bad after all.

Akira can be seen in cat form, wearing his outfit...as Sonic and his younger counterpart were going through the time doors.
"Surprised?" he asked them.
"It's not our last," Sonic replied with a smirk, his younger counterpart just shrugging. "But yeah, how'd you get involved with this?"
Akira shrugged. "Dunno, but I'm pretty sure we've got a couple rotten eggs to deal with." He then brought out his smart phone. "Although that giant Death Star ripoff with the cannon wasn't there before. Must be their palace."
"A combination of the Space Colony ARK and the Death Egg," Tails said, his younger counterpart arriving. "As if the reference wasn't blatant enough..."
"...Never been on the ARK," Young Tails replied. "At least...not yet, from what the future tells me."
"Stick around for quite a while, and I might teach you how to reverse the polarity of a Chaos Emerald to make a fake one."
Sonic got the idea. "I take it we're going to be entering that thing?" he asked Akira.
"It's their Palace," Akira replied. "And we might get double the treasure. Speaking of, does the other thief know I'm here?"
"Rouge has noticed," Tails answered. "I just met up with her, and she told me to tell you...and I quote, 'Challenge Accepted, Joker.'"
Akira nodded. "Been a while since we had a rival in the thieving business," he said, putting his smart phone in his Pocket. "Let's move."
With that, the five dashed in, unaware of the whole thing being watched by several others in the time abyss.
