Chapter 11: Recap

This is a bit of a short one, I know, but after this is gonna be a couple of social link/confidant chapters, featuring the Hermit/Emperor II (Futaba/Goemon (Yusuke is Emperor I)), Chariot/Hierophant (Ryuji/Jigen), and Priestess/Jester (Makoto/Zenigata), before moving on to the rest of the story.

"LOOK OUT!"

"WOAH!"

Lupin was tinkering with the SSK, accidentally activating its forward machine guns in the process while Futaba was entering, shooting a stray hair off of her head as she ducked out of the way.

"You okay, Sakura?" Lupin asked, concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. A bit dazed, but fine."

He sighed in relief. "Good. The last thing we need is ANOTHER casualty. Tell the others to meet up. We've got a lot to discuss."

"Alright," Lupin said. "Before planning next steps, we have to first recap what we already know. Let's start from the top, shall we?

Takeharu Yamakawa, a very dangerous religious zealot, sent one of his men to fake being a drunk driver so he could cause the 'accident' which killed Akira.

That man was then in turn shot down by Ichiro Kurusu, who was impersonating me in my green jacket, complete with a Mercedes Benz SSK.

Takeharu found out about this and had Ichiro captured and brought to him.

Ichiro was given the chance to live, on the condition that he assists Takeharu with building a mobile weapon out of the SSK. This would allow Takeharu to kill people himself, and quickly escape the scene.

During all of this, Makoto Niijima would join forces with pops.

Eventually, Takeharu, wearing a green jacket ensemble of his own, would drive to the house of Haru Okumura in the SSK, wanting to eliminate Akira's girlfriend, Ann.

This would fail, as Ryuji would kill him, but not before Haru sacrificed herself to save her boyfriend.

Now, Ichiro is currently MIA, though I am able to infer that he has most likely gained control of Takeharu's forces.

The SSK is now in our possession, and Ryuji will be the one to pilot it, unless anyone has an objection."

"None."

"Nope."

"Nuh-uh."

"Alright then. Now, we can finally get ready for a confrontation with Ichiro. Akira was avenged the moment Takeharu Yamakawa died, but a Lupin would want to finish the job and tie up all of the loose ends he can.

Now then, who's up for one final push to the finish line?"

"Let's do it!" The others shouted, with the exception of Jigen, who'd rather just be a form of moral support than a fighter, and Ann, who didn't want to risk the life of her unborn child.

With the team in agreement, everyone began preparations for the final showdown.
