Chapter 9: Cattleya's Past

We exited the Cognitive World Of Hell and returned back to the real Hell World.

"Well, that was unforgettable." Lars said,

"Yup, we made it out before we were even caught." Cattleya said,

"Caught by who?" A familiar voice asked,

We all turned to Velvette again.

"Velvette!" Lars shouted,

"Well, that new Demon and Bunny Bitch Boy has a new friend." Velvette said with a smirk,

"Stop calling me that!" Lars shouted as he raised a finger,

"Don't unleash your anger at her, Lars." Cattleya said, "She's taunting us."

Velvette then chuckled.

"Taunting?" She wonders, "Oh, I don't taunt people like you three. You're not my type. I'm more into those that are on MY level when it comes to taunting."

"The fuck are you talking about?" Lars asked,

"You three are young. I like older people and older people only."

"Sheesh, I bet she gets laid with the other two Overlords in her level." Cattleya said to me Lars,

We all share a chuckle. Velvette didn't take it too kindly.

"Yeah, very funny, they're already dating each other and I will NOT be a third wheel to my two best friends!" She shouted, "Also, why the fuck are you all outside of our private club?!"

"Sorry, but we were catching a bus." Cattleya replied,

"There's no bus stop. It's across the street."

Velvette pointed to a bus stop.

"Ah, thank you, we appreciate it." Cattleya said with a wink,

Velvette sighed.

"Brats." She said, "I'll let you three off the hook, again. The next time I see you three out here, I WILL show you three why we live in Hell."

Velvette angrily walked away.

"Satan, I can't stand her!" Lars said, "But she's not as bad as the other two!"

"We'll get to them in the future." Cattleya said, "Come on, let's ride a bus back to my place. I rented a home here in Pride."

Cattleya crossed the street to get to the bus stop. Lars looked at me.

"Hey, we should stick together on this." He said to me, "So, you're really a Phantom Thief before you came down here, huh?"

"I was." I replied, "I was the leader."

"Did you have a nickname or something?"

"...I don't remember."

"Huh, so your death really hit your memories away for a bit."

"I guess so."

"Well, I'm sure they will fly back."

"Hope so."

Fast forwarding to many months later.

Bernie was still interrogating me.

"...So… You Phantom Thieves always have each other's back, yes?" He asked me, "Because one person shouldn't have done all of this alone."

I was silent.

"When there's more people working together, you get the job done easier." He continued,

Back to the present moment. A voice spoke to me.

"I am thou... Thou art I…

Thou hast acquired a new vow...

It shall become the wings of rebellion

That breaketh thy chains of captivity.

With the birth of the Magician Persona

I have obtained the winds of blessing that

shall lead to freedom and new power…"

It appears that me and Lars Rabash have started a bond together. I won't let this bond go to waste as it might help me on my journey to change Hell, neither will the future bonds I might form here.

"Hey boys!" Cattleya shouted from across the street, "Stop stalling and get over here!"

"Coming!" Lars shouted,

"Oh!" I said,

"Come on." Lars said to me, "We got work to do."

I nodded as I showed off a smile.

Later, we were at Cattleya's apartment.

"You lied!" Lars shouted, "You said a house! Not an apartment!"

"It's still a home to live in!" Cattleya said, "Stop judging books by their covers, Lars!"

Lars sighed.

"Whatever you say." He said,

"I'm serious!" Cattleya said,

"Hey, calm down you two." Ren said, "A home is still a home."

I sat down next to Lars on Cattleya's sofa.

"Well I must say, it is a lovely home." Lars said,

"See, now you're living it." Cattleya said,

"True."

Cattleya then looked down.

"Now I suppose you two are wondering how I got my powers as a Phantom Thief." She asked us, "Or what the heck even is a Phantom Thief. Or more importantly, where did I come from?"

Flashback occurred when Cattleya was a child.

"I was born in Greed." Cattleya's voice said, "My father used to be human, but was killed in the 2010s from being executed via an electric chair. His crimes? Mass burglaries. He and my Mom got married and gave birth to me."

Then there were flashbacks on Cattleya's parents as Phantom Thieves.

"My parents were Phantom Thieves." She said, "I often see them do their dirty work, stealing hearts from criminals that are more greedy than their love in a place called Mementos. In Mementos, it is everyone's palace. They got to Mementos from a friend of theirs from Pride. An Imp scientist studying the Cognitive World Of Hell and two other things related to them; Psychotic breakdowns and mental shutdowns. They all wanted answers on where they all come from. Then, one day…"

A flashback occurred as a young Cattleya saw her parents' corpses.

"My parents died in The Cognitive world." She said, "They were killed by the Shadows that's lurking there. I was traumatized."

Then, another flashback occurred as an older Cattleya was running away from the Shadows.

"I tried to fight back years later to avenge my parents, but I was scared." She said, "I didn't know what to do, until I knew."

Cattleya was seen standing up to the Shadows.

"I stood up to them, telling them I wasn't afraid of them and that I will take down every last one of them for taking away my parents' lives." She said, "Then, a voice spoke to me."

"It's about time you're ready for a change!" A voice said,

Cattleya then got a big migraine.

"You seek revenge, yes? Why not waste the flag and wreak havoc?" It continued, "Why not take back those that stole away your treasure?"

"A voice which became my Persona, Anne Bonny." Cattleya's present voice continued, "It said the following words…"

"I am thou, thou art I... It is time, young lassie! Time for you to rebel against your enemies and steer the ship to your destiny!"

Cattleya took off her newfound mask and awakened her Persona, Anne Bonny.

"Those words would lock in my memory." Cattleya continued, "On that day, I became a Phantom Thief under my parents' spirit."

Flashback has ended.

"And being a Phantom Thief, I have a job, that is stealing the hearts of those that have a distorted desire and are rotten to the core." Cattleya said, "So I moved here to Pride in search of answers and found you two."

Lars then sighed.

"Sorry about your loss." He said, "My Dad ended his own life when I was 5. He was arrested for no reason."

"Lars, I'm very sorry to hear." Cattleya said,

"Hey, if he was still alive, I would have been more brave than I ever was."

I sighed.

"Sorry for your losses, you two." I said, "We can make a change here."

"We are." Cattleya said, "We will make a change here in Hell. And it will be our way."

Cattleya then put her arm out.

"We're a team." She said,

Lars put his arm out on top of Cattleya's arm.

"Damn straight we are!" He said,

I put my arm out on top of Lars' arm.

"For a new Hell." I said,
