Disclaimer: I don't own anything expect for OC's.
A/N: Just to reaffirm Veronica's appearance is the same as in Heroes though she maybe hiding her true form, like Mirage Ursula. I also did some tweaking for two certain OC Characters that I was completely unsatisfied with.
Thank you for the support, I hope its worth the wait!
Inside the House of Naga.
Nah slowly open the door, her hands tighten on the strap of her bag as she slowly walked forward to the altar. She stops to look up at the windows big of rays of light penetrated the otherwise dark & empty Monastery.
"This is strange no one's here... Why did Tiki send me here if no one's around?" Nah said to herself.
The Cartoon Cat thief sneak up from behind her, "You know..." The little dragon girl flinched and instantly turned around to face the Cat Creature. Morgana continued, "I'm here, my friends are here." he gave the dragon kid a sly smile.
Nah huffed, "I forgot you guys are still here and following me... of course." She was hoping that she was free from this crazy joy ride with the Emblian Empire but it seems that she is still being tracked down by Veronica's Forces and with a bunch of weirdo Thieves.
"Well sorry, but we don't know where we are and we do have to stick together," Morgana smiley shrugged.
"I know where we are, this is the land of Valm! - At least that's what it used to be now that it's being overrun by Mirage and Demons, apparently." Nah snapped.
"Right," Morgana looked around, "Well at least we're safe here."
Nah rises a brow, "Where's are the others? They were right behind me a moment ago."
"They went back to that dungeon, to collect some stuff we miss!"
"Oh. Okay, far be it for me if they want to get wet, not like I care or anything." She shrugged at the talking stuff animal that appeared straight out of a drawing, "That means I can focus on my prying without any distractions, not sure about you though."
Morgana looked around and then scoffed at the Dragon blood, "I didn't know this place is a church. I figured this place was a broken down shelter."
"It is a church!" Nah, snap.
"A European-esp Church that worship a Dragon...? That's unheard of... Ugh. Why do Dragons give me the willies? Oh, that's right because they can eat people like us!" Morgana thought as he sweat-dropped at Nah's outburst.
The Burnett calmed her nerves, "Sorry and your probably right - this place are not only for worship but also for the annual Pilgrimage."
"Really?" Morgana scratched his ear.
"Every year we bring an item for our Goddess Naga to the altar," She pointed at what is in front of her.
Now, this caught his interest, "What kind of Items? Gold? Jewry? Meloc Gem's?"
"I can't tell you." the young girl said simply
Morgana jumped in suppressed "W-Why not?"
"Your a thieve. So you're going steal something from the House of Naga, which is blasphemy!" Nah stumped her feet, "Can I have a moment of peace?"
"Oh sure, why not. But just to let you know it can get a little boring, so I"m going to look around if you don't mind?" He asks.
"Well I don't live here... but as long as you don't do Blasphemy here." Nah warned.
He changed back to a normal black cat and snickered, "Me Pfff... You worry too much, kid." Morgana was about to say Vampire girl but he knows she's not going to like being called that.
After Nah was sure that talking cat found himself to sleep in, he rested on one of the wooden chairs, she stepped forward to the altar. She got down on her knees, clamped her hands together and closed her eyes to pray.
An hour later.
Morgana looked all over the place for hidden valuable trinkets that he can sell to any merchant, like that Pink Rabbit but it seems there is nothing a vile to him, at least not here, just wooden chairs and a alter with a statue of that same Broad. Nah is still on her knees next to the alter prying to her whatever deity.
The door creaked open. The Phantom Thieves of Hearts showed up through the door Nah & Morgana was relieved them have returned safely. But they learned of a Dragoon that was following them but the group manages to fight them off. Ryuji described that the Dragoon without its flesh and he assumed it to be a zombie flying lizard.
Nah's ears twitched at the human's unhelpful chatter, while she was more focus in her prayer. "Could you keep it down? I'm trying to pry here!"
"Sorry, we'll keep it down!" Haru called out.
"Thank you!" Nah huffed and resumed back to her prying. She had wished that she can be with her friends right now but now that she's back to her home world she may have to consider flying to Ylisse and go to the temple of Naga. Granted Nah had strongly suspected that Ylisse is currently under the control of Emblian Empire and if that's the case then… No. Nah, can't imagine that brat, Veronica, with her army of Demons, to carry out the order to burn her home kingdom to the ground... not this time and not ever.
Plus when Nah was held captured by Emblian Forces and she meets Veronica, she was forced to have tea time with the Young 'Goddess' Empress so that she could negotiate with her regarding Ylesse. Veronica may be Nah's sworn enemy but the Queen of Natural-Chaos had always prided herself in keeping her word to people around her.
30 minutes later the group has settled down, most of them rested on the wooden benches and talk to one another. Nah spent most of her 30 minutes prying now she too sat on the bench trying to fix her COMP by touching the screen. She sighed; still nothing.
Nah's eyes widen when she saw a text from her partner on her COMP screen. She texted back to them, telling Raidou and Gouto about her location and said she will meet them back at the labyrinth-
Haru made a surprise greeting to Nah and sat beside the young brunette.
"Hey, Nah-Chan what are you texting?"
"My friends." The young girl said simply and rose from her seat, "I'm going to be outside to stretch out my dragon wings if you don't mind? Or something to find that we can eat?"
The older Half french girl blinked in surprise, "Aww don't you want to hang?"
Nah frowned at older teen.
Haru laughed, "I'm kidding you can run along Nah-Chan but be careful when you go outside."
"Um, thank you! Also, I know this land like a back of my hand." Nah felt a little embarrassed but masked it with a deaden glare.

Embla Tokyo, Vortex World
Veronica's Palace, Throne Room
Demons and Mirage stood as their attention was at the door opening to reveal the grumbling Victoria.
"Step forward," Said a young girl's cold voice with a firmness that matches any Leader.
Victoria stepped forwarded with a frown, she had avoided eye contact form the onlookers until she finally stops at the steps. Victoria kneeled before the gray-haired young girl bath in gold, black, and red who sat on the thrown.
The Lavender haired woman can feel those cold bloodshot eyes staring down at her from the Empresses thrown.
"Do you know why I called you here?" Empress Veronica suddenly said, "Nah was here, wasn't she?"
Victoria knows to not face her Majesty without her permission, "Yes but I lost her, your Majesty."
"Where is she?" Veronica said softly.
"I don't know..." The demon quivered. Another Demon, by the name of Thor, showed up and stood beside his little gray-haired Mistress.
"You don't know...?" The Emblian Empress's hand balled into a fist, "Then tell me... why haven't you informed me that Chrom is present somewhere in my concurred Dominion!?" her voice boomed as she stood up. The Demons and the Mirage gasped in shocked and muttered to each other. Victoria was dumbfounded.
"You've lost Nah and now I found out that Chrom was snooping around with that traitor Nowi! The Blue Crow had told me all about it and she tends to do something about it - you are supposed to be my head of security!"
"I - I didn't know your Majesty, I-"
"I heard this excuse before - it didn't work out for you when Nah escaped the first time!" Veronica raises her hand. Lime colored particles started to form & swirl around the young girl's hand.
"Sadly for you my brother Bruno and Talia I know where Nah is, unlike you. Nah is no longer your responsibility anymore - Bruno will be taking your place."
Victoria's eyes widen in shock. Bruno and Talia have been her rivals for the high ranking position, along with Veronica's other siblings. "My lady may I ask for your forgiveness I promise you I will not fail again." the Lavender woman pleaded
Veronica narrowed her eyes at her royal subject, "Very well, but you and your friend will have to kill the Phantom Thieves of Heart if you want to redeem yourself!" the Empress lowered her hand and sat back down on her throne.
Victoria frighten look, "Yes, Majesty it will be my pleasure-"
"Don't fail me again!"The Empress of Embla warned, and shot out a powerful lightning sending Victoria out to another dimension with a wave of Empresses' hand, "Which goes to the rest of you!" Her voice echoed across the imperial chamber for her Mirage and Demon subjects to hear clearly.
"Find and destroy Chrom & Nowi and if you find the humans that are with them capture them alive! You are all dismissed!"
After the Mirage and the Demons have laved the throne room with only Veronica and Thor.
"How long can we breach their little barrier, Thor?"
"We're still having trouble with the barrier, their defense is still greater than ours, Majesty."
The Gary haired child Empress cringe, "And what of the key to finding Tiki's realm?"
"Her Valkyries are still giving us trouble."
Veronica opens her eyes, "So basically: we still made no progress. At least dealing with Tiki's Shepherds counts as something, I have no doubted about my dear friend and retainer Ursula will finish them off."
Thor grumbled under his golden mask, he does not like the Blue Mirage Valkyrie Ursula. He still wonders how is a lowly assassin get to be one of her Majesty royal retainers.
"Is something wrong Thor?"
"It's nothing wrong my Empress, I just don't trust the Blue Crow that's is all."
The Gray-haired Child lips curled into a smile and giggled at Thor, "Well, lest you're being honest its okay to be jealous of Ursula but there is no need for you two to fight over me."
"My apologies, Majesty."
She roses from her seat, "I will be at my dinner party, please informed me of any surprising news." and with that she took her leave.
"As you wish, My Empress." The demon bowed.

Nah flew to the entrance of the labyrinth and reverted back to her human form as she landed.
The young girl looked every ware. She then finally spots Raidou and that black cat, she instantly ran up to them.
The Cat Gouto made a smart remark, and Nah hissed at him in response. Raidou brushed off their silly banter and ask if her COMP is working properly?
Nah grumbled in response, she explained to them that she never got her COMP fix by the H.A clerk which she added was an illusion, conjured by Veronica's forces.
"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I guess my sources made a terrible mistake." the cat said.
"Or your 'sources' must be working for Veronica all this time." Nah, cast a glared at the Cat.
"We all make mistakes sweat heart. Anyway in other news; we met your Mom earlier!"
Her heart skipped a beat, "What? W-where is she is she here!?"
"No, your Mother is with a group of kids. They're on a path to a safe haven from the Emblian State." Raidou explained.
"A group of kids...?" Nah's eyes widen in shock "Did Embla turned her into a Mirage as well?"
"Yes, though her physical appearance hasn't been altered in any way and she's floating if that's even normal." Raidou rubbed his chin in thought.
"And your mom reminds us of Utaloid Tiki but with street dance clothes."
"Well that sure sound like my mother, her weirdness even surpassed my expectations..." Nah rolled her eyes.
Nah, Raidou and Gouto talk more about Nowi and how she was free from Veronica's control and her Human Partner is a girl. Nah then remembered that she wanted to do outside the church: She wanted to go to Naga's Temple to find answers about Lady Tiki's whereabouts and how to stop Veronica.
The Detective and the Cat had agreed only because the way to the Vortex World was gone: in other words, Raidou destroyed the entrance. Nah was baffled but he explained to her that it was a good option at the time. Nah was not buying it however and shouted 'you idiot, now we have to go to Naga's Temple'.
"What about the Outer Relm Gate, we can go there?" Raidou inquired to the little brunette half dragon girl.
"Only for those who revises Naga's blessing... or Tiki's for that matter." Nah then gasped in realization, "Of course! Why didn't I think about that?"
Before Raidou and Gouto could inquire to the Child she ran inside the entrance and to the right wing. The detective and the talking Cat followed her inside mildly confused but followed her anyway.
Next time - The Mirage Masters headed to the boarder, that separate Embla-Tokyo(yr2016) & Tomorrow-Tokyo(yr2021), but they soon encountered Ursula.
Meanwhile, Nah and Raidou talk to the talking Angle bunny, Henry. While at the Monastery Phantom Thieves of Heart wondered about Nah's return Justine made a surprised visit to the Monastery.
