And the new chapter. It just got long because I had to repeat some parts of the previous chapter but from a different point of view.
I already said that this story is going to be short or rather a single-arc story. It may take more than 20 chapters, but it is not supposed to be a 100-chapter story.
I think this chapter is a bit lame, but I promise that from the next chapter, there will be much more serious events and more interactions.
And an important news.
I made a telegram channel to upload art related to OCs. You just have to search #(Story-Name). Unfortunately, because I am neither an artist nor have the money to hire an artist, 90% of the characters are drawn with AI art generators.
In the next chapter, I will put the ID of the channel and you can see the pictures of the OCs there.
Chapter 1: Phantoms Assemble
[Shujin/17 February/Friday/After School]
Ren Amamiya, the former leader of a group that rocked Tokyo for a year, changed society and saved the world twice. Ren was charged with falsely accusing him of assault and sentenced to one-year probation. But thanks to the friends he made during his one-year career as the leader of the Phantom Thieves, they managed to acquit Ren of his charges. Ren is now a normal student with a normal life waiting to go home.
The class ended as usual and Ren was passing through the school gate he wanted to go to the subway and go back to Leblanc as usual, but this time it was a little different. "Yo Ren!" Maybe not so different. Ryuji, Sumire, Ann, Haru, and Makoto who were waiting by the gate approached him.
"Did you want to ambush me as a group this time?" Ren joked and Ryuji lowered his head.
"Dude why do you say that whenever I'm waiting for you by the gate," Ryuji said a little depressed.
"We were going to attend the festival that is being held in Inokashira tonight for the hero event, and we wanted to know if you were coming?" Ann said and Ren thought for a bit.
"A festival of heroes for thieves? Will the rest of the party be there?" Ren said as his glasses glowed.
"Everyone will be there at the festival, but the leader must give orders," Haru said with her usual smile.
Morgana took his head out of the bag and stood on Ren's shoulders. "So what are you going to do?"
"It's just too bad we don't have our Phantom Thieves Attire. So what time should we be there?" Ren said and everyone cheered.
"We'll be waiting for you at Inokashira at 7, and please bring Futaba with you," Ann said, and they all parted ways.
[Leblanc/February 17/Friday/Evening]
Ren was sitting on the bed in his normal clothes, waiting for Futaba to go to the festival together. "Hey, Futaba's here," Chief called from downstairs and Ren got up from the bed, grabbed his bag along with Morgana, and headed downstairs.
"Yo," Futaba greeted.
"All right, let's go Futaba," Ren said and headed for the exit door.
"Just be careful not to cause trouble, and have fun," Sojiro said with his usual grin.
"Don't worry Sojiro, what bad thing could happen?" Futaba told her father.
"Another god's attack?" Ren joked.
"I don't think something like this will happen for another century…I hope so," Morgana commented kinda worriedly.
"I think I should have told you to be careful that trouble doesn't follow you," Sojiro said a little dejectedly.
"Don't worry, if another god attacks us I'll take care of it myself," Ren said and then left with Futaba.
[Inokashira/February 17/Friday/Evening]
Ren, Futaba, and Morgana entered the park and walked down the sidewalk by the lake until they arrived at the festival venue. There were many entertainment stalls, each representing a hero franchise. Near the entrance, the rest of the Phantom Thieves were there except for Sumire.
"Senpai!" A familiar voice came from behind Ren. Ren turned around and saw Sumire running towards him in her black tracksuit. "I'm sorry, today's training took a while," Sumire said with a little breath.
"No need to apologize," Ren said then took Sumire's hand, and together they walked towards the rest of the group.
"Hello...Huh!" Ryuji said excitedly but was suddenly shocked.
"Huh!" Ann was also shocked.
Ren and the others approached the group. "Hello," Ren greeted but was surprised after seeing the looks on the first thieves. "Is something wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"Every time I asked you what kind of girl you like, you always dodged the question to the point where we even thought you didn't like girls, but now..." Ryuji said with burning anger but in a low voice.
"I remember you told us in Hawaii that no girl is your type!" There was a lot of bloodlust in Ann's voice, but her tone was low.
"Umm! Ann-chan what's wrong!?" Haru asked worriedly.
"I didn't think our leader would be the first to betray us!" Ryuji was still angry.
"Calm down and tell us what's wrong," Makoto stepped forward to take control of the situation.
"This traitor always told us that he is not interested in girls, but today we found out that HE GOT A GIRLFRIEND BEFORE US!" Ryuji shouted the last part with burning anger.
"This is for the mission we did with Mishima that night," Ren said and Ryuji took a step back in surprise.
"You still remember that night!" Ryuji said upset.
"I didn't think you'd be mad about something like that, although I admit I'm jealous of Sumire-chan," Makoto said, noticing the situation calmed down a bit.
"I agree because Sumire-chan caught the best fish in the lake," Haru commented.
"(The situation might get out of hand, I should change the subject)" Ren thought to himself. "If we wait here, we might miss the festival and its entertainment,"
"You're right, but don't think it's over," Ann said with bloodlust and walked away.
A few minutes later, all the Phantom Thieves started playing different games, such as shooting with fake rifles (in which Ren hit all the targets easily in the bull). Or Ryuji played high striker and managed to ring the bell. Then they started buying snacks and eating them.
Finally, the Phantom Thieves gathered by the fences of the lake and stared at the lake.
"I feel like I leveled up!" Futaba said happily.
"It was a great time. I hope that such a festival will be held again soon!" Ann said happily and looks like she forgot about Ren and Sumire.
"Who would have thought that heroes could be so cool!" Sumire said to the group.
"But still not on the level of the Phantom Thieves," Ren commented.
"No doubt. I only regret that I declined the day you and Morgana Senpai offered me to become part of the Phantom Thieves," Sumire said.
"I would have liked to work together more, but unfortunately the Metaverse is completely destroyed," Morgana said from the bag.
"Don't worry, maybe one day we'll wear our masks again and fight the Shadows together!" Ryuji said with a smile, but he didn't know that he had jinxed the group.
"Guys, are my eyes have problems, or is that star acting weird?" Yusuke said in surprise and everyone looked at the sky and saw a star that was shining cyan color and getting bigger every second.
"What the...!" Ren didn't have time to finish his sentence because then the light covered everything and nothing could be seen anymore.
[Inokashira/2 December/Tuesday/Evening]
When the light faded, the Phantom Thieves managed to see their raised hands to shield their eyes and were shocked to see what was in front of them. They noticed the features of their Phantom Thieves attire, and after looking at the rest of their bodies, they were sure that they were transformed.
"Wha...how...what happened!" Skull shouted in shock.
"Our clothes! This is not good, be careful!" Joker was very serious and drew his dagger.
They all turned and saw a large army of Shadows wearing spiky black armor and holding black swords slowly approaching them. The biggest difference of this army was that they were the same size as normal people and that they did not have the masks of Shadows.
"Are... are they Shadow!?" Mona said in surprise.
"No time to think, we must fight," Queen said, coating her knuckles with blue flames.
"Do you still feel your power?" Navi asked and everyone nodded. Then Navi entered into her Persona.
Joker first moved. Joker jumped towards one of the knights and landed on its back with an acrobatic move and cut its face in half with a knife. Then he ran to the next Shadow and put his foot on its face and using his body, he jumped back and landed between the five Shadows, then destroyed all five with a helicopter kick. In the end, he put his hand on his mask. "Raoul! Fallen Destroyer!" Raoul flew up after being summoned and started firing a barrage of Curse bullets. In the end, he made a big Curse ball and shot it toward the crowd of enemies with a kick. Bullets and a ball destroyed a large number of Shadows and caused a lot of damage to the park.
Mona hits Shadows with his Saber while jumping around like cartoon rabbit characters. "Diego! Magarudyne!" After killing some shadows, Mona finally stood and summoned his Persona. Diego created strong winds with Magarudyne that sent about 30 Shadows to far, far away lands.
Skull ran straight like an NFL player, smashing everything in his path with a sledgehammer until he stood in front of one of the Shadows, and with one hit, he shot Shadow like a baseball ball at the big pawn, destroying them all. "That'll do it! William! Maziodyne!" The pirate appeared and aimed his cannon at the sky and with one shot lightning struck the place and destroyed all the knights.
Panther ran to the pack in front of her and landed on Shadow's face in front with a jump and then separated from Shadow with a bolder jump and landed in the middle of the pack. Panther swung her whip around her body and destroyed all the Shadows that were in range of the whip. "Celestine! Blazing Hell!" Celestine performed her strongest fire skill and the whole area was filled with lava and along with the Shadows, she set a part of the park on fire. "Oh no! I set fire to the park!" Panther screamed in fear.
"Gorokichi! Mabufudyne!" Fox summoned Gorokichi and dashed through the burning trees and Shadows. When Fox stopped, he sheathed his half-unsheathed katana and then everything except the trees froze, fell apart and the fire went out.
"Thanks, Fox!" Panther thanked.
"Your welcome," Fox said, then continued to fight.
"Agnes!" Queen summoned Agnes and rode her, then quickly started riding over Shadows with her motorcycle until she did a wheelie and then slammed the front of the motorcycle to the ground and threw Shadows into the air. Queen drew her revolver and was ready to shoot, but no bullet was fired as if it was a model gun. "Our guns don't work! Cover me Noir!"
"Got It! Lucy! Mini Gun!" Noir summoned Lucy and then Lucy took out two Mini Gun barrels from her skirt and started shooting and destroying all the Shadows in the air.
Violet approached the group of Shadows with continuous back handsprings and finally performed a backflip with several turns and landed on the shoulder of one of the Shadows. After that, she used the same Shadow as a rod and turned like a helicopter, cut off the heads of all the Shadows, and broke the neck of the shadow she was using. "Ella! Vorpal Blade!" Cinderella was summoned in her wedding dress and then did a backflip and several slashes appeared in the air. After a few seconds, the lines disappeared and all the shadows fell into pieces. At that moment, a Shadow appeared behind Violet, ready to deliver a surprise blow. "Thunder Reign!" A metal spear landed on Shadow, pinning him to the ground, and then lightning struck the spear, turning Shadow into charred flesh.
Violet turned around in surprise to see Shadow disappear into thin air and then her eyes caught Joker with Odin standing behind him. "Thank you senpai!" Violet thanked.
"I know you have less fighting experience than others, but try not to let this happen again," Joker said seriously.
"I promise I won't happen again!" Violet bowed and said but at that moment another Shadow approached from behind but this time in the blink of an eye, Violet appeared behind Shadow and then Shadow's head was separated. Violet turned to look at Joker and he nodded with a smile.
Suddenly, the sound of Shadows spawning was heard, and in less than a few seconds, the entire park was filled with knight-like Shadows.
"What the hell! Don't these things have an end?" Skull exclaimed in surprise.
"I'll finish it!" Joker said and put his hand on his mask and took it off his face. "Satan! Ice Age!" A ball of ice gas appeared above the park, but surprisingly, it was a little bigger than its normal size… Much much much much bigger in fact. the whole park was in its range.
"Joker, I'm always amazed at your power, but... ISN'T AN ATTACK AT THE SIZE OF AN ENTIRE PARK TOO MUCH?!" Mona said calmly at first, then screamed in shock.
"Satan wants to freeze all enemies! ...ALL OF THE ENEMIES!" Joker said and everyone realized what Satan's goal was.
"Oh, my go..." Before Panther could finish her sentence, a ball of ice gas exploded and the entire park froze except for those who had not been identified as enemies. The power of the explosion was so great that an iceberg was formed, similar to the one that the Titanic crashed into.
[A cheap inn in Tokyo/December 3/Wednesday/Early Morning]
On a simple TV, the news was showing the iceberg the Joker had created last night, and an anchor with short brown hair with two goat horns on her head and pink glasses wearing a simple black suit was reporting the news.
"According to the witnesses, last night at 2 AM, a gas ball appeared above the park and after it exploded, this huge iceberg that you see behind me was created. The police recognized this incident as a villain attack and asked the public to be vigilant and watch out for suspicious people with ice kosei. Fortunately, no one was injured in this attack, but the whole park is likely to be closed for the next few days. And the news continues..." Before the host could continue, Makoto turned off the TV.
"I've been here for less than 5 hours and yet my brain is melting from the information overload," Ryuji said as he sat down in his chair.
"It's a guess but this is probably a different world, like DC and Marvel," Futaba commented as she lay on her stomach on the bed.
"But why do we have to be sent to another world?" Ann asked with a bit of sadness.
"I think the right word would be "invite"," Ren said, standing between the group.
"I agree, it's like an invitation, otherwise our ID cards wouldn't have been changed based on this world," Makoto reasoned.
"And that we still have money in our account," Ren added
"I actually had a heart attack when I saw the receptionist," Futaba said with a sad face.
"Maybe we're in an X-men world but in reverse," Ryuji commented.
"It seems so, and I think "Kosei" must be what they call their X-Gene," Ren said.
"Actually, the Japanese word for superpowers is "Kosei". In the rest of the world, it's known as, "Quirk"," Futaba said. "According to the records, the first mutated genes appeared in the Chinese city of Quig Quig about a hundred years ago, and until now, eighty percent of the world's population has superpowers. Because some had stronger powers than others, they committed crimes, so the hero job became official and real. If you graduate from special academies, you can freely use your power and take money from the government."
"I can only imagine how many heroes are on the streets right now," Sumire said wondering.
"In fact, there are more heroes than cops," Futaba said. "And it hasn't been a quiet year for a while because a group called the League of Villains has attacked the best hero academy in Japan several times in a row."
"League of villains?! Seriously?!" Ryuji said with a low tone and was disappointed.
"I thought the names we were suggesting for Phantom Thieves were ridiculous," Ren continued.
"Now apart from the cliché and oldness of the names of the leagues, unfortunately, the strongest hero retired a few months ago after fighting the strongest villain in history," everyone's attention was drawn more. "This hero's name is All Might, and according to reports, he can no longer maintain his original body due to the many injuries he has suffered. Oh my god! It is said that All Might in his prime could destroy a mountain with one punch and move faster than a bullet!" Futaba said the last part with excitement while showing muscle All Might.
"Um, moving faster than a bullet isn't what we do?" Ann asked. (Persona Q2. Naoto and Akechi team attack)
"Good point," Futaba said.
"I don't think these matters have anything to do with us," Ren said, drawing Futaba's attention. "Check if strange things have happened such as mental shutdown, psychotic breakdown, or change of heart,"
"Um, ok…" Futaba said in surprise then got down to business. After searching for a few minutes, strange news was finally found. "Hah! That's terrible! Just yesterday nearly 300 people committed suicide in Shibuya alone!" Futaba then showed the pictures of the people, where you could clearly see the black liquid pouring out of their body openings.
"These mental injuries are only possible through changing cognition," Makoto said seriously.
"Um guys, do you see this too?" Haru said while looking out of the window, but she did not notice that her clothes had changed.
"Haru, your clothes have changed!" Sumire said in shock, but she hadn't realized that she had turned into Violet.
"It's not just her," Fox said, pointing to the others.
All the Phantom Thieves were in their Phantom Thieves attire and were checking their clothes. "How!? But we..." Skull tried to say something but couldn't find the right words.
"We didn't use Nav or any other app," Mona corrected.
"The border between the cognitive world and the real world is very thin," Joker said and after a bit of concentration he returned to normal, and to everyone's surprise, Ren then transformed back into Joker. "You just have to concentrate," Joker then got up and looked out the window to see a series of black mist-like lines connecting from the sky to the backs of some people's necks. Joker jumped out of the window and landed next to one of the people with the black line attached to her.
A 6-year-old girl who was dizzy and could hardly stand on her feet. Joker approached the girl and put his hand on her shoulder, but his hand entered the girl's body, not like a ghost, but like dipping his hand into a thick liquid. The girl felt the touch and turned to Joker, but acted as if she did not see Joker.
"Are you okay, little girl?" A young girl's voice came and Joker turned his head towards the source of the voice and saw a pink girl with black sclera and yellow pupils with two very small horns on her head.
The little girl slowly stared at the girl like a zombie for a few moments and then limped towards the wall, then suddenly hit her head very hard. The pink girl reacted to the fear, quickly moved towards the girl and caught the girl while she was bleeding from her head and struggling. "Calm down! Why are you doing this?! What happened to you?!"
Joker wanted to help, but the best help he could do was to cut that black line, and for this, he had to go to the root of those lines. Joker jumped to the top of the building and then followed the line until he realized that those lines led to Tokyo Tower.
[Tokyo Tower/December 3/Wednesday/Early Morning]
Phantom thieves approached the Tokyo tower by jumping from the buildings and landing in the tower area. The building under the tower was very dark and a dark cloud could be seen clearly. At least for thieves. People near the tower were like zombies and black liquid was coming out of their bodies.
Joker signaled all the Phantom Thieves to hide and monitor the situation from a distance. He slowly walked towards the front door like a big boss of a crime syndicate and passed through a wall made of black smoke with traces of lazuli. The inside of the building was very dark, so black it was as if they had applied a blackout effect to the room.
In the center of the room, there was a black tornado that was high from the floor to the ceiling, and in front of it stood 10 people who were like a black shadow. As Joker got closer, all ten people turned to face him.
"My my, I didn't think it was going to be like this," said a woman wearing a pink veil covering her mouth like a Middle Eastern dancer.
"I see a lot of courage in his eyes," said a man who looked like a knight of the royal guard.
"I see the stupidity in his eyes," the person who said this was an old man with an old voice who was hiding in a completely black robe and you couldn't see anything of his face but he had a magic wand in his thin hand.
"I thought you sacrificed science to magic, but apparently you also sacrificed the ability to think," another old man said, but this one was like an old sage. In Joker's opinion, the best description could be The Father from Star Wars, but without the cape and shorter beard.
"From his body anatomy, I can say that he is agile," a chubby man like an Igor whose body was twisted like a mummy and had a blade like a three-bladed scissor (He is in fact 2008 Prince of Persia Hunter Boss).
"His footsteps are silent but his soul is pure, probably a thief," The next person was a man dressed like the original Hashashin, not the Ubisoft Assassins.
"Thieves are lowly creatures to be trampled," said another knight, but clad in light armor and wielding a large spear.
"You are too hasty, watch first and act later," said an archer in a hoodie and a large razor-blade bow. Although nothing was known about him, his azure eyes could be easily seen.
"Men are all the same," Next was another woman whose dashboards, surprisingly, were even bigger than the dancers'. From the way she spoke, her pride, and her clothes, one could guess that she was either a Valkyrie or an Amazonian.
And the last one was a big stone giant that Joker thought looked like the Warrior from Prince of Persia 2008 who didn't say anything but a short grunt.
"If you're done judging me, I want to ask a few questions," Joker said very coldly and seriously.
The spear knight thrust his spear into the air very quickly and a wave of wind was thrown towards the Joker like a bullet. Joker didn't move and the wave passed him and hit the wall. "I take my word back," was all the speared knight said.
"Then why don't you tell the others to show themselves so we can get to know each other better?" The hunchbacked man said and then all the Phantom Thieves except Navi jumped to Joker's sides.
"We are the Servants of Darkness, nameless beings known by their specialty," said the sword knight. "I am servant number one, knight,"
Then the spearman took a step forward. "I am Lancer, second servant,"
Hashashin took a step forward. "I'm Assassin,"
The hunchbacked man took a step forward. "Hunter,"
Amazon didn't take a step. "Rider"
Sage took a step forward. "Alchemist,"
Following the sage, the old man with the magic staff took a step forward. "Magician"
Then the female dancer. "Dancer"
Then the archer. "I think it should already be known, but I'm Archer, and that big stone giant is called Berserker," Archer pointed at Berserker with his thumb.
"We are the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, and I am the leader of the team, the Trickster Joker," Joker said.
"Skull"
"Mona"
"Panther"
Fox
"Queen and the next person is our navigator Navi who is not here"
"Noir"
"Violet"
"You said, Trickster? The one that even fate can't stop? Nonsense!" Rider scoffed.
"Would you like to try," Joker said with a grin.
"Knight, please allow me to decapitate this insolent child!" Rider asked the knight, but the knight only raised his hand.
"We'll get to that part, but first the Q&A," Knight said coldly, then waved his hand at the Joker, indicating that he could ask him his questions.
"Are people's suicides because of you and that tornado? Why are you doing this and how? And did you bring us into this world?" Joker asked all the questions.
"The answer to the first question is yes, this tornado does that. The second answer. Because this is the reason for our existence and our master, and we do this by sending distorted desires into people's hearts. And for your third question. We didn't bring anyone into this world," Knight answered all the questions.
"Why did you answer all the questions?" Magician barked.
"Calm down Magician, I wanted to grant them their last wish before they die," Knight then signaled to Rider and Rider quickly struck Joker with her sword but no damage was done.
"Nani!?" Rider screamed in surprise, but before she could process what was happening, Joker threw Rider back with a side-kick.
"Trickster, have you forgotten so soon?" Joker said with a smirk, making Rider angry.
"Bone-breaking Wave!" Rider swung her swords and fired a powerful wind stream at Joker, but Joker absorbed the attack.
"What magic is this!?" Magician exclaimed in surprise.
"I vow to you! Come forth, RAOUL!" Joker shouted as his mask disappeared in blue flames and Raoul began to appear.
"I am thou... Thou art I... Thou who would accept blasphemy for the sake of thine own justice! Call upon my name and release thy rage! Show the strength of thy will to ascertain all on thine own, though thou be chained to Hell itself!" Raoul said as he was being summoned, which terrified most of the servants, but some were impressed like Knight.
"Chains of the Underworld!" Joker used his new unique skill, and then an evil face appeared in front of Rider similar to Arsene's face, then dozens of Curse chains bound Rider to the ground.
"This magic is incredible!" Magician exclaimed in astonishment.
"My foolish friend, this is not magic but cognitive psience," the Alchemist told the Magician.
"Disappear!" Joker and Raoul said simultaneously and then the chains exploded and a huge amount of cursed energy was released. When the explosion ended, Rider turned into the ash.
Knight began to clap. "I'm impressed, you really are the True Trickster," Knight sounded like he was proud.
"Time to finish! Thanatos Picaro! Door of Hades!" The god of death was summoned and opened the gate of the world of the dead, and then all the servants were killed and the tornado stopped.
"Is it over? Really? I can't believe it!" Skull said with satisfaction, not realizing he'd jinxed the group again.
"Wait! It's not over yet!" Navi shouted and everyone quickly took a fighting stance.
The servants who had turned into black dust regained their physical form and stood before the thieves without being wounded.
"I'll admit you're far more respectable than most ancient warriors," Lancer said as he stretched.
"But we've died before and we won't die again as long as we're in the master's domain," Knight said, alarming the Phantom Thieves.
"Master wants to you join his little game, but know that you have entered a dangerous game," Alchemist said and then Magician cast a spell and teleported all the servants.
When all the servants left, the building returned to its original state and the open space became the entrance hall where the reception desk was located. As the room became normal again, people could be seen and slowly started to wake up. Based on their previous experience, they should have been invisible to ordinary people, but...
"Who are you?" The receptionist asked the Phantom Thieves in surprise.
"We must make a false story fast!" Noir said worried
"Oh crap! They see us!" Skull said in a low voice.
"We're hero students and we've done our first mission... A Villain had attacked here with sleeping gas kosei and made everyone sleep," Joker quickly made up a story. "(Please buy it, please buy it!)"
"So, were you able to catch him or not?" The receptionist asked.
"Unfortunately, he tricked us and ran away... and if possible, don't tell the media because we don't want to be known for failing our first mission," Queen said, quickly sketching out the rest of the story in her mind.
"Well, that's what all the new heroes say, and since no damage was done, it's not a problem," said Acceptance, and all the Phantom Thieves took a deep breath in thought.
"Thank you so much!" Noir said in a girlish and calm voice and then they all hurriedly ran away from the crime scene.
[The Inn/December 3/Wednesday/Morning]
All of the Phantom Thieves went back into the room through the window without anyone noticing, and then returned to their high school student form.
"Alright, now I want to know what's going on in this hive of mutants!" Ryuji said in confusion.
"We entered into a game of life and death," Ren replied as cold-blooded as ever.
"I got that already," Ryuji said a little annoyed.
"A dark lord, undead servants, another world…" Futaba muttered. "It's like an Isekai anime!" Futaba said the last sentence out loud.
"You mean we're dead!" Ann said in shock.
"I think you're confusing the Tensei genre with Isekai," Ren said
"This is a mistake most foreigners make," Ryuji added.
"Ahem..." Futaba caught the attention of the others. "If you look closely at our circumstances, you'll realize that we were brought to another world to stop a great evil that only we can defeat," Futaba explained.
"But we still don't know exactly what's going on here," Haru said a little confused.
At that moment, a bright blue butterfly entered the room and attracted everyone's attention. The butterfly slowly flew into the middle of the group and then in a brief flash of light, the butterfly transformed into Lavenza.
"Hello everyone, it's hardly been a long time since we've seen each other," Lavenza said deadpan.
"Miss Lavenza!" Morgana said in surprise.
"I guess if you're here, we're going to get some answers," Ryuji said happily as he could understand what was going on.
"I don't have much time so we'll explain quickly," Lavenza said and they all began to listen carefully. "In the time of this world, two days ago, the power of an evil god entered this world and succeeded in merging with the God of Darkness and bringing that God to a different level. Due to the strength of the God of Darkness, the balance of this world was disturbed. That's why you were sent to this world to take the power of the evil god from the god of darkness,"
"You mean that this world as a defense system against a foreign threat has brought a foreign defense way!" Makoto said in surprise.
"Quite true, but I must say that unfortunately the Velvet Room is unable to fully support you," this sentence shocked the entire room.
"What do you mean!?" Sumire, who didn't have much experience, asked casually.
"That means I can't use Persona Fusion to create a new Persona, or take guidance from Igor and his prophecies," Ren was still calm despite the body of the news.
"Dude you're so calm," Ryuji said.
"Although it sounds alarming, I don't think you'll have any problems since he has all of his era Personas," Lavenza said, and a big question mark formed on the heads of all the team members.
"So if that means you have all of the Personas in your pocket, I don't have a problem," Ryuji said satisfied
"My time is up. Remember to follow the light and protect it," Lavenza then disappeared.
"So does anyone have any idea what he meant by 'light'?" Ryuji asked very confused.
"Perhaps he meant the God of Light, since he used the God of Darkness to describe an evil god," Fox commented.
"Most likely," Futaba agreed.
"But how are we going to find a god of light?" Haru asked curiously.
"I don't know, maybe by destiny?..." Ann said uncertainly.
"For now, all we can do is stop the servants so no one else falls victim," Ren said.
"I agree, but between us, you're the only one who probably has the strength to fight one of them one-on-one," Futaba commented.
"Then the best thing we can do is fight the Servants until we have a solution to permanently destroy them," Sumire said and everyone nodded in agreement.
"So, let's get started," Ren said, and everyone who was sitting stood up.
[Roof of a building in Tokyo/December 6/Saturday/After school]
During these three days, Ren managed to rent an apartment near the UA Academy that was big enough for all the members. Although they had to sleep on the beds by lottery. In the meantime, Ren managed to find a part-time job and it was strange to him why the salaries of part-time employees in this world were even higher than the most money he gets from the Beef bowl on Yakiniku Days. But they were in trouble for firearms because their guns were no longer real. Until last night of course.
"Man! Where did you get these?" Skull asked as he inspected his new shotgun.
Joker didn't answer and just thought about the past a bit.
[A dark alley in Toyko/December 5/Friday/midnight]
A group of street gangsters with a large bag in their hands approached a group of men in expensive suits with heavy boxes behind them.
"Did you bring the cargo?" asked the leader of the gangsters.
"Did you bring the money?" The man in the suit asked back.
The gangster nodded and another one opened the bag and showed a lot of money. "5 million yen for military weapons stockpiled by the yakuza,"
The yakuza snapped, and the other yakuza opened the boxes and revealed the guns. The leader of the gangsters approached and picked up an M4 and examined it. After that, he picked up a Desert Eagle 50 AE and checked it, and then the rest of the guns.
"Everything looks good," one of the gangsters then handed over the bag containing the money. "I'm happy with your deal," said the chief, still holding the loaded Desert Eagle in his hand, as he prepared to leave, but something unexpected happened.
Joker jumped down from the building and landed on the leader of the gagsters and knocked him out. When the gangster was knocked out, the Desert Eagle was released from his hand and jumped up, and then the Joker caught the Desert Eagle in the air and began to quickly shoot the non-vital body parts of the gangsters and Yakuza. Although the criminals tried to fight back, all the bullets they fired were absorbed.
"Bastard!" One of the gangsters shouted and steeled his body and wanted to attack Joker, but Joker simply shot him in the leg and the bullet passed through his armor due to the power of Tower Arcana.
After knocking down all the criminals, Joker went to the boxes and whistled after seeing the contents inside.
[Roof of a building in Tokyo/December 6/Saturday/after school]
"You really stole these from the yakuza!" Violet said in shock.
"I don't see a problem with that," Panther said with a UMP submachine gun in his hand.
Violet looked at her real Antique Rifle that resembled Sahasrara and then held it firmly in her hand. The rest of the members had obvious weapons like Fox with a custom M4 with a scope or Queen with a Smith revolver.
"Guys, I've detected the presence of one of the Servants, but I'm not detecting a tornado," Navi said in surprise over the radio call.
"If it's not next to a tornado, it might be out of the domain of darkness!" Queen exclaimed hopefully.
"A great chance to take out the first Servant!" Violet said happily.
"Where are the coordinates of the enemy?" Joker asked very seriously.
"In an amusement park called... wait, there's a Destinyland here too!" Futaba said in shock.
"Interesting, but we have a monster to destroy right now. I'd love to hear it scream when I drive my ax into its head," Noir said with a cute girlish smile.
"Jeez, I don't know if Panther is scarier with that whip or Noir with that axe," Skull said with a shudder.
"So you better keep your mouth shut when you're in range of that ax and whip," joked Joker, making Skull even more scared.
[Destinyland /December 6/Saturday/evening]
Maybe jumping off buildings is cool and stylish, but using the subway during the day is better, especially with all those heroes. The Phantom Thieves arrived at Destinyland and after a general look, they were surprised at how similar the two amusement parks were.
"It's really similar to the version in our own world!" Ryuji said in surprise.
"I agree, but we have something more important to do right now," Makoto said and then they all headed to the Firefly Princess's Castel.
[Firefly Princess's Castel/December 6/Saturday/evening]
They all entered the castle and then became Phantom Thieves. The interior architecture of the castle is very artistic and everyone, especially Fox, enjoyed watching the architecture while moving in the castle until...
"Wait! I feel the presence of a Shadow, but it's very old and powerful, but not as powerful as Reaper or even Kamoshida, but still..." Morgana said and then drew his saber.
"Queen, Violet, and Skull, you come with me, and the rest stand by as always," Joker ordered, and all but the front-line members disappeared into the shadows.
Joker and the others moved towards the Servant's location, being careful not to run into a Shadow. The Phantom Thieves continued on their way through the shadows until they felt the ground shake.
"Navi, what's causing these earthquakes?" Joker asked the navigator.
"A Shadow, powerful but not against us," Navi said with an evil tone.
The tremors got closer and closer, and Joker decided to face them, so he came out of cover. Joker faced the multi-armed Shadow who was standing relatively far away from him. Joker checked Shadow with his third eye and saw a blue aura around it, which showed that it was weaker than him.
"Finish it quickly, Arsene!" Joker shouted and summoned his first Persona.
"Don't worry, this old man doesn't stand a chance against me," Arsene said confidently, flying towards Shadow.
Seeing Arsene, Shadow quickly stretched its arms and launched the swords towards Arsene, but Arsene spun while approaching and dodged all the swords. When Arsene reached Shadow, he cut off its arms with a claw and crushed Shadow's opposite shoulder with a kick. In the end, he kicked Shadow in the stomach, launched it up, and then shot him with a side-kick towards the wall. The wall collapsed and Shadow disappeared after hitting the next wall.
"HAHAHAHAHA, it wasn't bad, but I fought better than you," Arsene said very proudly and then looked around the corner and saw two little girls. "(Girls! Here?!)" Arsene was shocked to see the girls but didn't show it.
"You overdid it, Arsene," Joker said as he entered the room with his hands in his pockets along with the rest of the front line.
"But I thought it was quite enough," Arsen said, then disappeared in the blue flames, becoming a white mask for the boy. "Watch out, there are some little girls here," Arsene warned him in Joker's mind.
"Got it," Joker replied in his mind.
"Hey Joker, do you think that big guy is the one?" Skull asked Joker.
"That must be Berserker itself. Skull, Queen, Violet, get ready, it's show time," Joker said and the others got ready to fight.
Berserker roared and charged towards the teenagers. Everyone jumped in different directions except Joker who was standing still. As Berserker approached Joker, he jumped on top of Berserker and passed him, landing behind it.
"Kohryu! Psycho Force!" Joker shouted and removed his mask and then a golden dragon appeared and launched a purple attack which was like Geometry formulas at Berserker, knocking it to the ground.
Berserker got up and charged at Joker again.
"Queen, Baton Pass," Joker suddenly ran up to the Queen with incredible speed and high-fived her.
"Agnes!" Queen took off her mask and Agnes appeared behind her and jumped in it with a backflip, "Atomic Flare!" When Queen drifted with Agnes, a blue atomic explosion appeared in front of Berserker and dealt it a lot of damage.
Berserker changed its target and charged towards the Queen but she moved towards the Skull faster than it.
"Skull! Baton Pass!" Queen, riding Agnes, high-fived Skull.
"William! God's Hand!" Skull summoned William, and then a light came from the sky and a huge fist slammed into Berserker from above, crushing him. "Now, Fighting Spirit!" Suddenly, a yellow light surrounded everyone for a few moments.
"Violet, Baton Pass," Skull raised his hand and Violet landed in front of Skull with an acrobatic high five.
"Ella, Sword Dance!" Violet removed her mask and Ella appeared and threw her flowers at Berserker, then several swords appeared in the sky and hit it at the same time knocking it out.
"That was great Violet, now all together, All Out Attack!" Joker commanded and they all jumped into the sky and hit Berserker with unbelievable speed and inflicted terrible damage on it.
While the Berserker seemed to be destroyed, suddenly all the cracks and wounds healed and the Berserker stood up again and roared very angrily.
"What the hell! It healed itself!" Skull exclaimed in surprise.
Berserker gave another roar and the ground started to shake and then an explosion happened. Berserker used Gigantomachia. The blow hit Joker, but he absorbed the blow and the others dodged.
"Navi, find a way to stop this monster," Joker said to a person named Navi with a radio link.
"Give me some time to find its weaknesses!" Navi said as she typed incredibly fast.
At that moment, Berserker used the Blazing Hell technique and a pool of lava appeared under the group's feet. Everyone was hit by the attack, but Joker was not injured because he used a persona that was null to fire and Skull was less injured because his Persona was resist to fire, but the others were significantly injured, but not fatally.
"I found its weak points! Because of its great anger, it is vulnerable to psychic attacks, because of the nature of its body, it freezes easily, and the darkness inside it reacts negatively to Bless, it is resistant to physical attacks, but if it is hit by a tactical blow, its resistance will not be activated," Navi said of Berserker's weaknesses.
"Understood. Skull, switch with Fox, and Queen, switch with Noir," Joker ordered and Skull and Queen nodded and disappeared into the shadows with a leap, Noir and Fox entered the show. "Violet, don't use physical attacks, it's resistant to them but weak to Bless,"
"Metatron, Divine Judgment," Joker summoned the strongest Justice Persona, and then Metatron summoned a Judgment Hammer, and Berserker took terrible damage when the hammer slammed down right in front of it.
"Ella, Kougaon!" Violet summoned Ella and hit a powerful Bless attack on the Berserker, dealing more damage.
"Gorokichi, Bufudyne," Fox summoned a rich man with a pink fur coat and a cigarette that was a device and created an ice tree in front of Berserker! When the tree broke, Berserker froze and could no longer move.
"Lucy, Psiodyne" Noir summoned Lucy and she did a psychotic attack.
Berserker was badly injured and close to death, but the show wasn't over yet.
"Violet, Show Time," Joker commanded.
"I'm ready senpai," Violet said happily then jumped up with Joker
Suddenly, the surroundings completely changed, as if they were watching a movie. Violet was climbing the stairs when Joker threw a rope at the bottom of the stairs and then he tied Violet in a bridal style and they went up. When they reached their destination, Joker threw Violet into the air, and then Violet landed on Joker's back and then the two started shooting Berserker with their guns. Then Violet separated from Joker and landed and suddenly the environment changed to a heavenly pink environment. Kasumi in a gymnastic outfit appeared and then started dancing with Violet while holding a sword. At the end of the dance, the sisters joined hands and the heavenly atmosphere broke, Violet performed the final fall of the dance and Joker grabbed Violet while holding his gun.
The surroundings returned to its original state and Berserker began to crumble into pieces of stone and then turned into a black liquid.
"Yeah, victory!" Mona said as the support team joined the front-line team.
"Do you think we succeeded or…" Panther was asking when suddenly the ground began to shake and Berserker slowly revived.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Skull exclaimed in surprise.
Berserker rose and then disappeared in a black Tornado.
"I can't believe it! Even outside of its domain, it can still revive itself from nothing!" Violet said in surprise.
"This is so ridiculous! If we can't even kill it outside its domain, how are we going to end this mess?!" Skull screamed again.
"I don't even know," the Navi said sheepishly.
"You two, you can come out now, the danger is over," Joker yelled loudly and the girls were shocked. "I know you were watching the whole fight from behind that tree," Joker looked at the tree the girls were hiding behind.
Eri and Akari came out of their cover in fear and approached slowly.
"Two kids! Probably not even elementary," Queen said in surprise.
Joker and Violet slowly approached the girls and knelt in front of them. "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you," Joker said, then put his hand on his mask. "Have you ever seen a Jack Frost?" Then the mask turned into a blue flame and a snow ghost appeared with a blue clown outfit and a big smile but with two small fangs.
The girls were excited to see Jack Frost and hugged him at the same time. Jack Frost was getting crushed by the girls, so the Joker got a little hurt. "Girls, please hug him a little more gently because he does not like someone to hug him tightly," Violet said kindly and after a few seconds of pause, the girls hugged Jack Frost more gently.
"Thank you, Violet," Joker said as he massaged his back because of the pain.
After hugging for a while, Eri remembered an important question. "Are you heroes?"
"No, we're a thousand times cooler," Skull said with a big smile.
"We're a group that executes justice in the dark, and not even the police and heroes can stop us," Mona explained. "We are the Phantom Thieves of Hearts,"
"Defender of the weak and enemy of the wicked," said the girl in the panther mask.
"We are the ones who steal the hearts of the bad guys to join the good guys!" Noir said with a very happy smile.
"Does that mean you're a vigilante?" Akari asked with curiosity.
"Legally, yes, but we are completely different and far more powerful from those newbies on the street," Fox explained in his usual tone.
"Are you as strong as Deku-san?!" Eri asked excitedly.
"Deku? *Poof* Joker alone is stronger than a million All Mights," Skull said confidently.
"No one can be stronger than All Might," Akari defended the symbol of peace.
"I'll bet my whole life that All Might can't even put a scratch on Joker," said Navi surely.
"Navi, do you really want to argue with kids?" Panther asked in surprise.
"Chill out Panther, I want to know what's going to happen next," Skull said with a half-evil smile.
"I don't think you'd expect more from a big monkey," Mona said with a certain pride.
"Can you just disappear like the last two times, Mona?" Skull shouted angrily.
"Guys, now we all forgot an important question," Violet said rather loudly, drawing attention. "Where are your parents now?"
Eri and Akari stared down sadly for a few moments before Eri broke the silence. "I don't have parents, I'm in the care of heroes at UA,"
Eri's sentence shocked the Phantom Thieves at first, but then the shock turned to sadness.
Among the others, Navi and Noir along with Violet were the most upset. "We kind of understand you, Eri-chan," Navi said sadly.
"How about you Akari-chan?" Noir asked curiously.
"I don't remember anything, the only thing I remember is that I woke up in the park and from that day on those monsters started chasing me," Akari said with relief.
Among the thieves, this time Mona felt more sympathy for Akari than the others. "I understand how hard it is not to remember anything and not know where you belong," Mona said sadly.
In between the Phantom Thieves' conversations with the girls, a question arose in Joker's mind, but unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to ask it.
"Eri-chan! Eri-chan! Where are you?" Izuku's voice was heard and a big smile appeared on Eri's face.
"Deku-san I'm here!" Eri shouted with all her might.
They all looked into the hole in the wall and when they looked at the girls, they noticed that the girls had paled as if they had left the Cognitive World.
"Akari, you should definitely see Deku-san, he's amazing!" Eri looked at Akari happily and Akari started to imagine Izuku in surprise and confusion. "I want you..." Eri was about to say something to the Phantom Thieves, but when she turned around, she noticed that they had disappeared.
"They're... fast!" Akari said with a bit of surprise.
But the truth was that the phantom thieves were there, but in another layer of reality. "Navi, how did they get out of the Cognitive World!?" Panther said in shock.
"Akari, she can travel between two realities, maybe because it is her Kosei," Navi answered without hesitation.
"But that can't be the reason alone," Joker said as he glared at the girls.
Most of the members were shocked when the girls decided not to come out of the hole in the wall. "Why don't they go through this big hole!?" Skull said in surprise.
"The answer is simple monkey, because in the real world that wall is repaired," Mona said with a bit of irritation.
"Oh shut up!" Skull said angrier.
"But why haven't we entered the real world yet?" Noir asked confused.
"Because this area is still connected to the Cognitive World," Mona explained to Noir, who nodded in understanding.
"But the main question is why are the Shadows and Servants after Akari, and how is she connected to the two realities, this can't be because of Kosei," Joker made a good point and everyone thought about it. "You go back to the hideout, I'll keep an eye on Akari tonight for a clue," Joker ordered, then disappeared into the shadows as usual.
Although everyone was kind of against sending Joker alone. but they remembered the only person who can beat Joker in this world, is Joker himself.
[Near UA Academy/December 6/Saturday/evening]
Joker chased Akari through the buildings of Tokyo for one hour until she and her companions entered the UA. Joker stood on a lamppost and watched Akari and the others walk through the gates of the UA Academy. Joker knew that this academy had an impenetrable security system. But not for someone who is in the Cognitive World.
Joker jumped from a lamppost to a tree on the UA grounds and as he passed through the walls, he clearly felt that he had entered the real world, which meant that the school was safe for now but could be attacked. And he should be more careful from now on. Joker moved through the trees to the main path and after a few minutes of walking in the shadows, he came to a building with a large A-1 written on the wall and "Alliance" on the door.
As the group entered the dormitory, Joker continued to move in the shadows and hid behind one of the pillars next to the window on the right. Due to the effects of having a Persona, all his abilities, such as intelligence, five senses, and even his luck were multiplied, so he could easily hear everything from the other side of the window.
"Guys, come here, we have a guest," Izuku shouted and all the students gathered in front of the door along with Aizawa to see the new girl.
As a serious and law-abiding person, Aizawa demanded an explanation. "Midoriya, explain!" Aizawa asked cold-blooded but very scary causing Akari to hide behind Izuku in fear.
"We found Akari-chan when we were looking for Eri-chan and according to herself she is homeless that's why we brought her here!" Izuku explained very quickly without taking a breath, but Aizawa only darkened.
"This is an academy, not an orphanage," this time all four started shaking in fear. "But if you want to stay here, you have to get permission from the principal," This time, no black energy was emitted from the teacher.
"No need to report, Aizawa," everyone's attention was drawn to a voice coming from the door as All Might and Principal Nezu himself entered the dormitory. "These students already informed me, and I was personally curious to know the story of this young girl,"
Akari first looked at the dog... bear... mouse... or whatever it was with a bit of fear and then calmed down. "I'm Akari, unfortunately, I don't know my last name, and I don't remember anything from my past until the last four days,"
"You have amnesia!" Kirishima shouted in shock, causing an unsafety grenade to rage.
"Shut up and let her tell her story!" Bakugo's scream caused the two girls to give a brief shock of fear.
"Ignore these boys, you just keep going," Ashido said very girlishly, calming Akari down.
"The first thing I remember was waking up in the park surrounded by black knights in spiked armor, then suddenly the whole park froze," the last part of the sentence froze Joker too.
Eri and Akari explained everything they had seen and experienced to Aizawa and the rest of the students. About shadow monsters, a stone giant that revives after death, and people who summon monsters by removing their masks and claiming to be stronger than All Might. But as expected, no one believed the girls.
"A big black monster made of only hands and swords and holding a mask in the air instead of a face! I think a mangaka should make a manga out of your imagination," Kaminari joked and the girls got angry.
"I think people who summon monsters by removing their masks are more interesting," Ashido commented and the girls grew angrier.
"Why do you think we are lying?" Eri shouted angrily.
"They're not saying you're lying. They're saying that your strong imagination at this age made you create an adventure in that castle that never happened." Ida said in her robotic style and everyone stared at her.
"You said it very directly, Ida Kun!" Uraraka said as she sat on the sofa.
"Eri maybe they're right and we were just imagining it," Akari commented resignedly.
"But it was all very real, especially Jack Frost," Eri said, doubting her own words and feeling upset.
"So tell us about yourself Akari-chan," Hagakure said, changing the subject. "For starters, tell us what your Kosei is,"
Then Akari started to shine like a bright star. "My Kosei is light, I can generate light without limit,"
"Akari-chan is shining, but not as shining as me!" As usual, Aoyama complimented how shining he was, and as usual, no one cared.
Joker went through all the conversations he had overheard in his mind and put the pieces of the puzzle together. The best thing the leader of the Phantom Thieves could come up with was that Akari was somehow related to the battle between the two gods. But it is not known how; Akari can be an avatar, an emissary like himself, a Chosen One, or a member of an anti-Dark God Clan. Many possibilities but no matter what, the truth is that a little girl has the target of a dark god on her back. Maybe anyone else would have continued to fight the Servants instead of protecting a child, but this is against the code of the Phantom Thieves.
Joker noticed that Nezu was no longer in the building and the teacher was leaving. Joker more hid in the shadows to avoid detection.
Aizawa walked out of the building and stood in front of Nezu. "What do you want to do with Akari?" Aizawa asked Nezu.
"Akari is a ghost, I couldn't find any information about a girl with a light Kosie named Akari," Nezu said looking at Aizawa. "There are two possibilities. First, she forgot her real name due to losing her memory. Second, this kid has never been in society for non-human reasons, such as Numo,"
"So, you'd rather not keep Akari at UA?" Aizawa asked.
This is bad, because outside the UA is a hunting ground with the most dangerous predators waiting to hunt down their prey. Joker had to do something, otherwise an innocent girl would become a victim of the war between two gods. Joker had to show them danger, so he chose the only option he had... showing himself to the UA staff.
"Maybe, but I would have liked Eri-chan to have a playmate around her own age, but I can't deny the possibility of..." At this moment, Joker took part of his body out from behind the pillar and showed it. "Who's there?" Nezu shouted with all his might.
Joker waited for the heroes to act first, to run away and steal their cell phones with a quick and sudden move. When Aizawa used his capture weapon, Joker approached them with Phantom Dash and caught them off-guard. As both of them were caught off guard by Joker's incredible speed, they opened their guard, which made Joker easily reach into Aizawa's pants pocket and steal his cell phone. For the next move, Joker jumped over the heroes with an air spin that Sumire had taught him and landed behind Nezu. Joker caught the heroes again and easily pickpocket Nezu's cell phone from his coat pocket.
In the last move, Joker went to behind the wall with a long back handspring and went out of sight. After he was out of sight, Joker quickly ran to the back of the house and jumped over the wall. After landing, Joker decided to exit the UA from another side.
Joker managed to enter the forest section and quickly moved towards the exit. After a few minutes of running and jumping from trees to trees in the forest, Joker reached an open area but was suddenly surrounded by some of the UA teachers. The teachers were Present Mic, Ectoplasm, Midnight, Hound Dog and Snipe.
"(Damn, I clashed with the heroes sooner than I thought,)" Joker thought a little worried but calmed down very quickly. "(So, I just have to defeat them quickly)"
"He's a kid!" Midnight said in surprise.
"A kid got through our security system!" Ectoplasm said.
"If you don't resist, we promise not to harm you!" Snipe said as he pointed his gun at Joker and Joker's only response was an evil grin. Everyone knew what that grin meant. "Don't try it," warned Snipe.
"But you don't have the high ground," Joker said as he spin-crouched and then drew the Tyrant Pistol. If he wanted to seriously hurt them, he could use his real gun, but for stun, the Tyrant Pistol is best because it shoots plastic bullets at the speed of real bullets. But the problem is that Snipe has his finger on the trigger and is probably a faster shooter, so first he had to have a full defense against the gunshot. Joker quickly changed his Persona to Lucifer. It was show time. Snipe fired and the bullets nulled after impact, Joker then aimed at Snipe's guns and shot them, disarming him. Those who fight from a distance are usually weak in close combat and Joker decided to use this possibility, so he rushed towards him and hit him in the face with a back spin-kick and knocked him out.
Joker quickly checked every one to see who would react first and then noticed that Hound Dog attacked first. This time, just nulling was not enough and he had to raise the level a little, so this time he took Fafnir, which could repel or reflect physical attacks. There was no need for extra work, Hound Dog would probably eliminate himself from the show with the first hit. Hound Dog struck and as Joker expected, Hound Dog eliminated himself.
Two heroes were eliminated very easily and only three were left. Everything was fine until a pink gas surrounded the Joker and quickly made him drowsy. Before losing consciousness, Joker quickly changed his Persona to Sandman because it had the passive skill Null Sleep by default. Now that Joker was not sleeping, he had to attack quickly, so he took the Leblanc Charm from his blue flames and put it on. Joker wanted to answer Midnight with a mental attack, so... "Clotho! Makajam!" Joker summoned the youngest sister of the Moirai sisters and gave Midnight amnesia. Joker couldn't see outside, but he felt that his skill worked.
"Ok, It's my TURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" Mic screamed and sent a sound wave toward the pink gas.
Joker, who dodged the laser and light, dodged it very easily but still got a headache because of the loud noise, so he decided to give a special gift to Mic. "Zaou-Gongen! God's Hand!" Mic's ear-splitting sound was replaced by the sound of something hard-hitting when the Zaou-Gongen attacked.
Suddenly, Joker felt thirty new people enter the arena. Joker, who used a lot of smoke bombs, could easily check his surroundings and remembered that Ectoplasm was written in a magazine. According to what was written in the magazine, Ectoplasm can make thirty clones of himself. Now it should be done with his strongest skills... No, that skill is too strong. "Yoshitsune! Hassou Tobi!" the 12th-century swordswoman was summoned and performed the deadliest physical skill. Hassou Tobi is a powerful skill that deals eight light physical damage at a very high speed to all enemies in the area and destroys them, or in other words, Ectoplasm will not even notice where and how he got hit.
In less than a second, Yoshitsune destroyed all the clones. Now the final seasoning of the show. "Raoul!" Joker summoned Raoul and with the help of his Persona combined his pistol with a curse and fired at Ectoplasm. The plastic ball turned into a ball of red and black energy and moved toward Ectoplasm with more power. Hero didn't even have a chance to react, so the bullet knocked him out.
When the smoke cleared, Joker twirled his knife around his finger and continued on his way after scratching the back of his head.
Joker continued on his way to his exit while jumping from branch to branch. After a few minutes of parkour and acrobatic movements, Joker finally reached the wall that led to the exit, jumped from the tree, and landed on the ground. Joker looked at the wall and smirked which meant it was a piece of cake for him. Joker took a few steps back to jump over the wall with an acrobatic move but...
"So, you're the intruder," Joker quickly turned around to see a blond man with a skeletal body in a very neat suit. "I'm amazed. I expected a mature super spy to have managed to get past our fences,"
"(Luck of the year. He is probably here to waste time until the rest of the heroes arrive, but I can use this as an opportunity,)" Joker thought and made a plan to tell them about a world-level threat or show himself as a world-level threat and make them protect Akari.
"All Might, it's an honor to meet the former number one," Joker said confidently.
"What are you doing here?" All Might went straight to the point very seriously.
"Straight to the point! OK, your answer is Akari, that girl is in danger and I wanted to know why they are after her," Joker replied.
"And who are they looking for her?" All Might narrowed his eyes.
"You wouldn't believe who they are, but we call them Servants," Joker replied and All Might narrowed his eyes more. "Tell the principal to keep Akari at the UA until the danger is cleared,"
"Who are you?!" All Might asked much more seriously.
"(He didn't believe me. OK, the support plan,)" Joker thought.
"To give an example... I'm an All for One," Joker said with confidence and a hint of humor in his voice and All Might's eyes widened in shock. "See ya!" Joker swung his finger from his forehead as a sign of goodbye.
"WAIT!" All Might shouted with all his might but Joker jumped over the wall with Phantom Dash. Joker landed in the dark in the street. Joker entered the Cognitive World, and because of that, he disappeared into the thin air. As Joker was running toward his hideout, he looked at the UA for the last time and smirked.
Well, this chapter ended with eleven thousand words.
I know that I introduced all the Servants very quickly and ridiculously, but I said that the story should be short. Probably one of them will be killed in four chapters at most. Wait for the next chapters because I have surprises for you.
And an important request. I am not familiar with mythology and I only know mythology from Persona and God of War games. Those who are familiar with mythology, please name a demon that is stronger than Lucifer. Like Satanael, which Joker used in Persona 5, and preferably not used in MegaTen games (Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, Last Bible, Devil Summoner, etc.).
I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
And thanks to the two guests who wrote reviews.
