Hey guys and gals, welcome back to chapter 15 of Mha the value of the thief which will be the next part of the Madarame arc.
This was mostly focused on the first half of the infiltration, as well as the Thieves going to look for information about Madarame and what's been happening to his students.
I'm looking forward to see what you guys think of what I've changed for this story, so how about we get this started
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my Oc's
Madarame Palace
Third person P.O.V.
"Where are they!" The shadows yelled, bursting into the room with the statue however the thieves were nowhere to be seen
"I don't see any intruders? Where are they!" One guard questioned looking around.
"I'm certain I heard something! They must have escaped somehow" The other guard said, pointing to where he heard them.
"Then we will need to double the guards around the perimeter! We can't let them escape" The leader stated, as the guards began leaving and heading outside.
Unbeknownst to them however, the thieves were still in the room just on the ceiling above them.
"Phew, I thought they would have gotten us for sure" Skull sweatdropped, looking down at the guards.
"Yeah, we just barely got out by the skin of our teeth," Panther sighed with relief.
"This is what you get for running ahead Skull" Mona pointed out, making Skull growl.
"What was that! You little-" "That's enough Mona, at least he didn't hit the alarms".
"Ugh fine, but it's time for us to get the hell out of here" Mona sighed, shaking his head.
"Okay sure, but how are we meant to do that? They just beefed the security outside" Skull pointed out as Joker crossed his arms.
"That's a good point, it'd be way too risky to escape through the front entrance or even the way we got in" Joker agreed, nodding his head.
"Maybe if we go in deeper we can find another way to leave, like that trap door back in Kamoshida's Palace" Panther suggested "Plus, since they're all focusing on the front then there will be less guards to focus on outside".
"A genius plan as always Panther, I was thinking the same thing" Mona smirked, crossing his arms.
'...Simp…' Joker and Skull thought, looking down at the not-cat.
"Well anyway, Panther does have a point, this is a better chance than any to get grasp on what this Palace looks like, who knows we may even find ourselves a shortcut like last time, just make sure you don't touch anything" Mona stated, looking over at Skull.
"Why are you looking at me!".
Joker sighed, shaking his head before the thieves jumped off the roof they were on and began heading deeper into the Palace.
Opening: Flyers from Death Parade, lyrics be Leeandlie
WOAH! OH! WOAH! OH! OH! YEAH! YEAH!
In the middle of the city we see a gigantic statue of the number 1 hero All Might, however on his chest was a spray painted logo of a top hat and mask with flame coming out the eyes.
YEAH! YEAH! OW!
We then see a blur zoom past the statue, with the camera barely following its movements.
It's your haze of delusion versus reality
We see Joker running from rooftop to rooftop, with a light shining on him as several helicopters chased after him
Just keep stirring the pot to find your individuality
Arsene then flew up behind him before Joker jumped off the rooftop and grabbed his partner's Chain to help him fly.
Delete another problem that is plaguing your mind
We next see Skull running down the highway as several police cars chased after him, a wild grin on his face as he ran
From day to day! To end to end! That's entertainment of our lives
Captain kidd then sailed up and caught Skull as he cheered into the night sky, as face of pure joy behind him
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Dancing through the skies
Several paint marks were slashed at the walls, as we see Fox painting everything in the alleyway around him
Let's celebrate our time, and party while we're still alive
He then spun around as Goemon showed and blew his smoke allowing the paint to glow revealing he had painted different hero posters and stop signs.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Dancing through the skies
Panther then jumped down onto some train tracks and began dancing, as she began spinning around like a Ballerina
Kick your worries to the side and aim up to the sky.
Carmine then appeared behind her, and below a flaming tornado that spun around her as she smiled up at the beauty.
EVERYBODY! Put your hands up!
We see Queen riding on Johana with Mona on her back, as the two of them drove up an elevator through a window.
We'll be flying~ Can you imagine it?
We see a large UFO flying above the city with Oracle inside, before she tapped a few commands into it
Search and you'll find the stage set within your dreams.
The UFO then began flashing several colours like a Disco Ball that lit up the entire city.
The place where you're the one
Down below we see Noir and Milady dancing like in a ball on Shibuya crossing before the two spun around.
That's where you're meant to be!
Noir then struck a pose as Milady revealed the variety of guns below her dress.
EVERYBODY!
We then see the Thieves falling through the sky towards a variety of statues of Pro Heroes.
Put your hands up!
We see both Panther and Mona aiming firing their guns at a statue of Ryukyu which crumbled into pieces.
We'll be flying!
Then Skull and Fox quickly moved past a large statue Edgeshot, cutting it in half.
Can you imagine it?
Next we see Queen and Noir crashing, punching the large statue of endeavour into pieces.
Search and you'll find the stage you set within your dreams
In the UFO we see Oracle typing in a few more codes with a grin on her face, before snapping her fingers causing her UFO to drop a huge bomb towards the All Might statue.
The place where you're the one, that's where you're meant to be
Joker then grinned as Arsene threw him towards the bomb which he shot with his pistol causing a huge explosion of colours.
FLYIN! Within these memories!
We see the whole team of Phantom Thieves cheering at the beautiful explosion they were witnessing.
FLYING! That you're slowly forgetting!
Joker smirked before he spun around and landed towards the ground as the train passed by him.
Just listen close to the song that lies within you~
Ren then gets up in his school uniform with Morgana in his bag, before he waved to us and walked back towards the crowd of people passing by.
Soul~
My Hero Academia! The Value of a Thief!
Deeper into the Palace
Third person P.O.V.
"Oh my god! Why was that last Shadow so strong" Panther groaned, shaking her head "Not only did it block most of our attacks, we had to use up alot of energy using our Persona's to beat it".
"Yeah you can say that again, good thing there was a vending machine nearby or we'd be screwed" Skull nodded, sipping some of his soda "Dang, cognitive soda ain't bad".
"Stupid Shiki-ouji…wouldn't get in my mask" Joker pouted, crossing his arms as they walked off.
"I was wondering why so many of them have physical Quirks,"Mona noted, looking around "That homeless guy also looked like a Lizard and Yusuke has fox ears".
"Did Nakanohara have one?" Panther thought, trying to remember.
"If he did, then we didn't notice" Joker admitted "But it does make sense, you see how some businesses treat people with those kinds of Quirks".
"Is it really that bad?" Mona asked, as they hid next to the wall waiting for a guard to leave.
"Pretty much yeah, you see the police assaulting them for random reasons from time to time" Skull sighed, before they stopped at a security door.
"Ooh! If we get in there we can get a view of the whole Palace" Mona grinned, as Skull pumped.
"Alright! Just let me give it a try" Skull grinned, walking up to ready his metal bat.
"Uh Skull, there's a log in right here" Panther pointed out, as she pointed her thumb at the password device.
"O-Oh right I knew that" Skull sweatdropped, as he walked up to the pad.
As this was happening, Joker was staring at a lone golden vase in the middle of a large room and smacked his lips "So Arsene, think that's safe?".
"Oh no, that is most definitely a trap, did you even need to ask?" Arsene asked, prompting Joker to scratch his cheek.
"I know, just wanted to make sure," Joker explained, before walking ahead with the others following him after not being able to open the door.
"Woah! Woah! WOAH!" Mona yelled, as they passed by the vase "You guys are just gonna ignore that golden sheen, I mean look at that lustre".
"Wha-?! Dude, you're the one who said not to touch anything" Skull stated, with the not-cat looking at him.
"I-I know! But we already ignored that rule! I mean Joker's been taking stuff left, right and centre" Mona pointed out, as Joker crossed his arms.
"Why do you do that? And why only certain ones" Panther asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Arsene tells me what stuff is safe to take. We need funds if we're gonna be doing this" Joker explained.
"Exactly! Don't you think it sells for tons" Mona said, before jumping towards the vase and hugging it.
"Wait! Mona you're stepping on something" Skull yelled, making Panther jump "Crap! Ain't this bad!".
"Joker! Jump back! Now!" Arsene yelled, prompting Joker to leap back as several shot around the room, making walls between Panther, Skull and Mona.
"Crap! The security!" Mona gulped, looking around.
"See! What'd I tell you! So now what, should we run it?" Skull asked, but Joker shook his head.
"No, that would draw way too much attention, I'll go and see if there's any way to get you guys out" Joker said, before turning to look around.
As Joker ran off to figure out a way to get the others out, we moved into his subconscious where the Thieves' Den was.
'Wow…everyones working so hard' Shadow Sumire thought, watching as the different Shadows within the Thieves' Den.
Some were either training, getting ready to be brought by Ren or looking around their new home.
'Compared to them…I'm pretty much a useless freeloader…' Shadow Sumire thought, with a frown.
'Why am I even here… I'm just a shadow who doesn't have anywhere to go… I can't even do anything to help' she frowned, hugging her knees.
'All I am is a burden here… I just want to go back to my real self… if she'd even want me back' Shadow Sumire sighed depressively "I want to know the truth…of what happened to me…".
Shadow Sumire then closed her eyes for a moment, but when she did something strange happened.
A flashed past through her vision. One of the Velvet rooms, allowing her to see the cells containing different people inside.
This included a girl with short blonde hair in a long black coat, a man in a black suit with a red tie and short brown hair and finally the young man with silver hair.
The silver haired man stiffened a bit, before turning his attention over in Sumire's direction but then her view flashed.
"H-Huh" she jumped, moving upwards as she took a few shaky breaths "W-What was that…".
Shadow Sumire looked around a bit before spotting Arsene continuing to speak with Joker, as he and the now freed Skull and Panther snuck in the ventilation shaft.
"...I shouldn't ask him…it would only bother him…" Shadow Sumire frowned, looking down.
Back in the Palace, we see Joker, Skull and Panther leaping out of the ventilation shaft as they look around.
"So think we can find anything that'll turn off the lasers?" Panther asked, looking around the room.
"I dunno, looks like most of the computers are shut off" Skull sighed, looking around before noticing one near the window "How about that one?".
Joker walked up to the computer and looked around in it "Seems like we need some kind password…".
"Try 8008- OW!" Skull cringed, as Panther elbowed him in the ribs.
"It'd be risky just to make random guesses…hmm?"
The thieves then noticed a pair of guards talking to each other, making Panther gulp "Crap, if they see Mona he'll be screwed!".
"I'll go first and wait for them to leave," Joker said, as he walked up and pressed the button next to the door to get out.
Joker then moved close to the wall, so that he could listen in on what they were saying.
"Hey did you hear about those intruders?" One guard asked, as they talked in the hallway.
"You mean the Thieves that everyone was sent to go and find?" The other guard questioned before nodding "Yeah I was actually sent to change the password".
"Oh? What did you change it too man?" The first guard wondered, as the other guard snickered.
"Get this 8008!"
"Oh my god…" Joker, Panther, Skull and even all of the Persona's in Joker said at the same time.
"800- seriously man"
"What? It's a classic!"
"Go and change that code right now before the bosses kills you"
"Ugh fine" The guard groaned, before the two walked towards the security room.
"Shit!" Joker gulped, before dashing towards the two surprising them "SHOW ME YOUR TRUE FORM!"
Ripping off the masks, the two Shadows transformed into a Inugami and a Shiisaa shadow.
"Dude, why did you rush in?" Skull yelled, running up to Joker who gulped.
"I panicked okay! Jeez" Joker sighed, readying his knife.
"Hah, let's just make this quick and get Mona out of there" Panther shook her head, before getting her whip ready.
The thieves then dashed towards the Shadows, ready to fight them.
"Take this!" Skull yelled, slamming his weapon at the Shiisa but the attack didn't do much "For real?!"
The Shiisa then opened its mouth and fired a blue energy blast towards Skull, sending him flying back.
"Whoa!" Panther yelped, jumping back from the Inugami who swung its body like a blade.
"Let's try this! Carmen! Agi!" Panther yelled, summoning her Persona who smirked and charged up a fireball.
"Let's see how this'll go," Carmen smirked, before throwing a ball of fire towards Inugami.
"Did that do it" Panther questioned, as Carmen came back to her only to see the attack didn't do much "Seriously?!".
"Skull! Panther! Move back" Joker called, as the two thieves jumped back to him.
Joker then proceeded to fire several bullets at the two Shadows, while it did some damage to Shiisa it didn't do much to the Inugami "Damn".
"Any ideas Leader?" Skull asked, as Joker looked back.
"I can handle the Shiisa, you two focus on double teaming the Inugami and see if you can figure out the weakness"
"Right!" Skull and Panther nodded, dashing towards the Inugami.
"CAPTAIN KIDD! ZI-O!" Skull yelled, using his Persona to fire a bolt of lighting at Inugami which did do some damage but not a lot.
"Move I got an idea!" Panther said, as she summoned her Persona to cast Dormina making the Inugami drowsy.
"Oh! Nice thinking!" Skull smirked, dashing towards the Inugami while summoning his Persona "WRECK HIM UP! CAPTAIN KIDD!".
"Hehe, very well let's finish this thing" Captain smirked, before dashing towards the Inugami and using the boat to slash it down, destroying the Shadow.
The Shiisa on the other hand blasted a ball of energy towards Joker who leapt into the air.
"Let's end this quickly! Arsene! RAVAGE THEM!"
"Fufufu! If you insist" Arsene smirked, before using Eiha to destroy the Shiisa in one blast.
"Hup, phew" Joker sighed, wiping off his sweat as his mask returned to his face "You guys okay".
"Yeah, I'm still freaking shocked I got the code right" Skull grinned, rubbing his head.
"Even I gotta admit, that was kinda funny," Panther admitted, crossing her arms.
"Well anyway, let's get Mona out of there and then we can decide on a punishment for him" Joker said, as the thieves walked in the security room to get Mona out.
After that, the Thieves continued their Trek through the Palace until finally making it outside.
"HOLY CRAP!" Skull screamed, his mouth agape at what they were looking at.
A gigantic blue locked door with a floral pattern that was surrounded by lasers. It was unclear whether they were the kinds of lasers that just alerted security or disintegrated you on contact, but for multiple reasons nobody wanted to test it out.
"What's it look like? Can you get in" Skull asked, as Joker checked the door after jumping over the lasers.
"Nah, it's completely locked and I don't see a key hole either" Joker said, as he jumped over the laser.
"Maybe there's a button or something that'll open it?" Panther wondered, crossing her arms.
"Seriously! We have to look around the museum to find that" Skull groaned, "Maybe I should just bust it down".
"And get security coming after us! No way".
"Hmm…that pattern looks kinda familiar" Mona murmured, looking at the door before spotting a loose grate on the ground "Hey guys! We might be able to get out through here".
"So we're just going to ignore this door?" Joker asked, but Mona shook his head.
"Not exactly, we're just saving it for later…if we wanna get through then we need to do something in the real world" Mona explained, confusing the thieves before they followed the cat and left the Palace.
Real world
Third person P.O.V.
"To think a small place like this has a huge Palace like that" Ryuji whistled, as they walked out of the metaverse.
"Yeah, guess the saying is right. Never judge a book by its cover" Ann nodded, crossing her arms.
"So what's the plan? We still need to figure out what exactly is happening to the missing students right?" Ryuji asked, as Ren crossed his arms.
"Well I was thinking that me and you could go and meet with the homeless guy I met after school, see if we can get answers for him" Ren explained, as Ann raised an eyebrow.
"What about me and Morgana?" Ann asked, as Ren turned to her "Well if you're up for it, could you do that modelling job and see if you can get any info from Yusuke? I wanna make sure the crimes we saw in the Palace are actually translating in reality".
"Yeah I was thinking the same thing, we just kind of walked up and started accusing Madarame, I atleast wanna have a private conversation with him".
"Dude you guys are being too cautious, aren't Palace like the reflection of his shitty thoughts" Ryuji sighed, shaking his head.
"Well being cautious is way better than going in guns blazing" Morgana sighed, shaking his head as Ren typed on his phone.
"Wait, who are you talking to?" Ann blinked, looking over at Ren who shrugged.
"Just texting Mishima, seeing if he can get us in touch with Nakanohara," Ren explained, before sending the message.
"You really think he can get us in touch with some guy who was mentioned like twice on the Phansite" Ryuji asked, making Ren shrug.
"Might as well try…".
"Oh ho, don't look like you kids would be hanging out here at random" The thieves heard, as they looked over at some people walking towards them.
The first was a tall, slender man with black, wavy hair that hangs on one side of his face and short sideburns on both sides. He wears thin-framed glasses with large, circular lenses, contrasting with his thin, greyish-blue eyes with mismatched pupils, one white and one black. He sports a beige blazer over an untucked black dress shirt and dark slacks. He also has a black camera that hangs around his neck when he's reporting.
The other was a girl with brown eyes, black hair in a bob cut and red lips. She wears a pair of orange sunglasses on her hair, a black shirt with a motto which reads "low life fight the power," a white long-sleeved shirt under the black shirt and blue jeans. She also carries a pink fanny pack, a camera hanging from her neck and a water bottle. She wears a pair of black and white shoes.
"Hmm? You want something" Ryuji asked, glaring at the two.
"Well from the looks of things, you three don't look like the ordinary stalking fans, you wouldn't happen to students of Madarame" The girl asked, as Ann sweatdropped
"Uh no, not really why do you ask?" Ann asked, as the man laughed.
"Ah sorry, we're looking for people who know students of Madarame to talk about those rumours of the disappearance, we got a bet going to see who can publish it first" The man explained.
"Disappearances?" Ren blinked, before looking over at the others "Just curious, what did you figure out".
"Ugh, not much just a rumour saying that they might have stolen the Sayuri and fled the country but it seems pretty farfetchd" The girl sighed.
"Well sorry, but we don't know anything," Ryuji shrugged, crossing his arms.
"I mean if it helps, I ran into someone claiming they were a student of Madarame's outside Shibuya" Ren admitted, making the two perk up.
"Oh shit! Really, can you give us a description" The guy asked, as Ren shrugged.
"Well his Quirk made him look like a Lizard, besides that he looked like he was homeless…that's the best I can give you" Ren explained.
"Nah this is great, thanks for that" The man smirked, giving him a wave.
"Here, if you find any more evidence, give me a call" The girl said, handing Ren a business card.
"Don't you think that might have fucked us over" Ryuji asked, as Ren shrugged.
"Ah c'mon what are the chances that I fucked up" Ren said, before looking over at Morgana "By the way, Morgana what were you talking about before about the door".
"Ah right, well I have a pretty good idea on how we can open it" Morgana smirked, making the others blink.
"Seriously?! How do we do it" Ann asked, looking surprised.
"Well remember when Madarame attacked me while I was checking out a weird door, well the pattern on it matched exactly with the one in the Palace" Morgana explained.
"But uh, we wanna open the door in the Palace, not in the house" Ryuji questioned, only for Morgana to give him a deadpan look.
"Let me finish, if we open the door in the real world and when Madarame sees it then the door will be open in the Palace" Mona explained.
"So we open the door while Yusuke is painting Ann, then after he's done we meet up in the Metaverse and wait in the safe room inside the Palace until Madarame comes back and see's the open door, we'll be there at the ready when it opens in the cognitive world" Ren deduced.
"You sure that'll work? Seems kinda risky" Ryuji questioned, with Morgana smirking.
"Of course I'm sure…I think…I just need a hair pin and it should be good" Morgana said
"Well not exactly anything else we can do, so we just do it" Ren shrugged, with the others nodding.
Night time
Shibuya
Third person P.O.V.
"Shdupit fackun Madirume, actin all high und midy" The Lizard-like student drunkenly scoffed, as he looked at a poster for Madarame.
"Ahm gunna kik yo assh, ya basturt" he growled, raising his fist to punch the poster.
"So I'm guessing you were the one that told those".
"Hah, oo-oi whad u doin git away frm meh" he said, as the figure walked up to him.
"A-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The student screamed, as we see a bright flash of light.
The next day
Shibuya
Third person P.O.V.
"Bullshit!" Ryuji yelled, as the two got off the train after leaving the school.
"Believe what you want man, I'm telling you the truth" Ren shrugged, as he walked up the stairs.
"Right because I can totally believe that ever since you left for Tokyo you've been waking up in this blue prison with a creepy long nose man and twin prison warden Loli's" Ryuji stated, as Ren shrugged.
"That executes my Persona's with a Guillotine to fuse them together, yes that is exactly what happens' ' Ren smirked, looking back at Ryuji as they rode the escalator.
"No, no, no you're just making up shit so you don't have to tell me what actually happens" Ryuji stated, as Ren looked offended
"Ryuji, why would I do something like that to you…it's a lot funnier telling you the truth and watching you try to comprehend it" he grinned, leaving the Train station as Ryuji rolled his eyes.
The two left the train station and looked around a bit, trying to find the student but to no avail.
"Shit, did those two take him away somewhere?" Ren wondered, looking around.
"Seriously dude, I told you you shouldn't have told them" Ryuji sighed, shaking his head.
"What! I was helping them!" Ren argued, before sighing "Now our only hopes are with Ann and Morgana".
"And considering what I remember from our Middle school plays…yeah I don't have much hope for Ann" Ryuji sighed, before they heard the ringing of a phone.
"Oh uh, give me a sec" Ren said, before taking out his phone before blinking "Huh, it's Mishima"
"For real? Maybe he's got some stuff on Nakanohara" Ryuji grinned, as Ren answered the call and placed it to his ear.
"Ah good you picked up, do you have a minute?" Mishima asked, from the other side of the phone.
"Sure, is this about Nakanohara?" Ren asked, leaning next to the wall.
"You got it, took me a bit to find him but after a bit of snooping I managed to get his Ex to send me his contact info, turns out he had already posted on the Phansite before I even had to contact him"
"Wait seriously, what was he talking about?" Ren questioned, looking more interested.
"Yeah, he says wants to talk to you guys about something in person, it looks like it isn't a prank and it seems to be about a heart he wanted changed but what do you think?".
"Well, our only other contact isn't here right now so it's our only option, tell him to meet me in the Starbucks in Shibuya, the one near the shack in about an hour…he'll know what it means" Ren explained, with Mishima.
"Sure thing, I'll get back to you in a bit" Mishima agreed, before hanging up.
"So I guess we just do whatever for an hour," Ryuji guessed, as Ren shrugged.
"Wanna go check out Untouchables? Sell the shit we got from the Palace" Ren suggested, as Ryuji nodded.
"Sure thing".
Madarame's shack
Third person P.O.V.
"I'm really sorry about yesterday, hope you weren't too mad" Ann apologised as she walked into a room in the Shack.
"No, no! Please forget that it ever happened! I'm overjoyed that you came at all" Yusuke gleefully said, as he prepared his art tools "I was beginning to think I had asked the impossible!".
"Please sit here, and you can leave your bag right next to the door" Yusuke said, placing a stool in the middle of the room
"Ah, thank you" Ann nodded, sitting down on the stool with Morgana using his Quirk to turn into a fly and flying off.
"Now, let's get started" Yusuke smiled, as he readied his paint brush.
As this was happening, we saw Morgana flying upstairs and found the blue door.
"Yup that's it, alright! Let's make this quick" Morgana smirked, as he flew down towards the lock and began working to unlock it.
Ann waited patiently as Yusuke worked on the painting, the silence in the room making the situation even worse for her.
'O-Okay Ann, time to get some info…' Ann thought, looking over at Yusuke "So uh, just curious, what is Madarame like?".
"Hmm, he is a very kind and considerate man, at least he was to me and my mother…he always told me how my mother was one of his earliest students" Yusuke explained, looking down.
"She had passed away during a villain attack when I was younger, but Sensei promptly took me in and raised me as his own," Yusuke stated, shocking Ann.
"Oh my gosh…I'm so sorry," Ann said, while Yusuke shook his head.
"No need, it was a long time ago but…not long after that I was shown the Sayuri and it was a revelation…I immediately went to my master and begged him to take me on as a pupil, it was at that moment I knew what I wanted to dedicate my life too" Yusuke smiled, as he thought "I only wish I can witness art in the way my master does, but with my Quirk…that isn't possible".
'Huh…he really does seem dedicated to art…guess I misjudged him' Ann thought, before shaking her head "What about the other students, why did they end up leaving?".
"Well Madarame never told me why they left, most I can guess was that it was some kind of fight…" he explained, but Ann could tell that there was something he wasn't telling her.
"They were all good people though, we would all work together towards dedication to the arts… you could think of us as some kind of…family…." Yusuke smiled, before looking down "I…I miss those days…"
"Yusuke…" Ann murmured, as she looked at him.
Starbucks
Third person P.O.V.
In the Starbucks near Madarame's house, we see Nakanohara in a seat waiting to meet with the Phantom Thieves.
"Hah…hope this can actually do something…" he murmured, moving his hair back showing off his pointed ears.
"Are you Natushiko Nakanohara?" Ren in a deep voice asked, making Nakanohara flinch "Don't turn around, just stay where you are".
Nakanohara took a glance at his cup, seeing someone in a black hoodie sitting on the seat opposite of his "A-Are you one of them?".
"That's right, good to meet in person" Ren nodded, as he crossed his arms "Let's get down to business, you have a heart you want us to change".
"That's right…I know it's hard to believe, but please change the heart of Ichiryusai Madarame…the Japanese Artist…my old teacher" He requested, making Ren smirk.
"Lucky for you, we were already working on that. That's why I called you here, I need information about him" Ren explained, surprising Nakanohara "First, tell me why you and the other students wanted to leave".
"Okay… I live with him in his studio thinking of nothing but my art…it was the thing I wanted to dedicate my life to…" Nakanohara explained "There was one other student there, Shun Makura, …he was older than me and extremely talented. Madarame, of course, took an interest in him and he claimed all of that student's work".
"Of course that wasn't the first student to have his work stolen by Madarame…but he was the first of us to try and leave, sick of how Madarame was treating them and their work but…he…he's gone now" Nakanohara stated.
"After that, the rest of us started leaving one by one which Madarame tried to stop, and out of revenge Madarame black balled all of us in the art world" Nakanohara frowned as he looked down "But even then, we just couldn't forget our drive for art…so we decided to try and start up our own Art Center".
"An art centre?" Ren blinked, making Nakanohara nod.
"Yeah, one where we could continue our art in our time while teach others in the proper way…we even attempted to get the last student still living with Madarame to join us…but Madarame had intervened and refused on his behalf" He explained, before sighing "What's worse…after that, the others started disappearing one by one whenever we tried to start up our centre…so I decided to leave and turn over a new leaf".
"Even then I just couldn't let go of my art and it warped me, I even resorted to my ex who threw me away after what happened with Madarame" He sighed looking down.
"I ask again, please change the heart of Ichiryusai Madarame, if not for me then then do it for the one still living with Madarame" he requested, as Ren leaned back.
"Kitagawa Yusuke, I've heard of me but it seems he's dedicated to Madarame… Do you know why?" Ren asked, as Nakanohara sighed.
"You probably already know how Madarame has already adopted… but there is something I can mention, when I was leaving I had talked to him about coming with me…but he told me something that honestly shocked me".
"He told me…'If I could escape…I would have done so a long time ago…'"
"Yusuke…" Ren muttered, before gripping his hands.
"Damn it…" Ryuji growled, as he listened in from a table a bit away from them.
"Before you mentioned that the student was gone…and the other student disappeared…do you know what's happening to them and is Madarame doing anything to them?" Ren questioned, making Nakanohara's eyes widened.
"...Yes…I do…" He admitted "B-But I can tell you…it's far too dangerous I-" "And let more of your family disappear too?".
Nakanohara looked back at Ren and noticed him gripping his arms before looking down at his own hands shaking in fear.
"Alright…Madarame…he's been using Quirk, that let's him enter into paintings, to trap his students inside of them…unable to move…only petrified in a dark coffin until Madarame decides to take them out"
Ren's eyes widened in shock as he looked back at Nakanohara "I-I had an idea that it could be that…but for that to actually be the case then…but the reports Madarame said he couldn't do that".
"It seems he has been lying about the details of his quirk for years, please you have to Kitagawa-kun before that can happen to him too!" he begged, while Ren remained silent.
"Damn it…" Ryuji growled, fuming with rage before his eyes widened when he saw outside the window was Madarame in a Limousine "Shit!".
"Huh" Ren blinked, looking up at Ryuji darting through the door before he got up "Alright! I gotta go! Thanks for your help".
"Ryuji! What's wrong!" Ren asked, as the two ran down the street.
"It's Madarame! He's heading back early!" Ryuji told him, making Ren's eyes widened.
"What! Shit no!" Ren yelled, quickening the pace as they raced towards Madarame's house while Ren tried contacting Ann "Damn, she's not answering! We gotta move!".
"Yeah! Let's- whoa!" Ryuji cried, as his leg stiffened before he followed down.
"Ryuji, you okay?" Ren asked, stopping for a moment to look back at his friend.
"Geh, I'm fine, just go!" Ryuji yelled, as Ren nodded before dashing ahead.
However Ren was too late, as he watched Madarame enter into his home "Damn it!".
"Shit! What are we meant to do" Ryuji groaned, as he caught up with Ren.
"Umm…the Metaverse!" Ren realised, before turning over to Ryuji "Remember when we first left the Metaverse and the time had passed a little bit slower then in the real world, if we go in there and head back to where the doors then return, we'll be inside and be able to help Ann".
"It's risky, but it's not like we can do anything else so let's do it" Ryuji nodded, as Ren took out his phone to enter in the key word.
However unbeknownst to them, as they teleported away someone in a school uniform was watching them.
Within the Metaverse, Joker and Skull had decided to go back through the museum, trying their hardest not to be found by the guards but they did have to fight a group of shadows as they made their way through the Palace.
Eventually they arrived at the garden where the large door was at, however now the door was open with the lasers gone.
"Shit that means Madarame saw the door! Joker, hurry up" Skull said, as Joker looked through the phone to start up the metanav.
However before they could leave the palace, a portal opened up above them "Huh?".
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Three screams were heard, before Panther, Mona and Yusuke crashed into them.
"W-Where did you guys come from" Joker sweatdropped, trying to get up.
"Ugh, it's a long story" Panther sighed, shaking her head.
Flashback
Third person P.O.V.
Back with Ann, she had continued asking Yusuke some questions as he worked on the painting.
"Thanks for answering my curiosity, I took us on a bit of a tangent" Ann apologised, but Yusuke shook his head.
"No no, you were kind enough to share your time with me so I mustn't waste it" Yusuke smiled, shaking his head.
"No it's okay I don't mind but… did you really need me here? I'm an actual model, you could have just used something from the magazine, there are probably girls better than me like Uwabami, Midnight or Mount Lady" Ann admitted, but Yusuke shook his head.
"Yes, definitely as I said before the moment I laid eyes upon you I couldn't hold still I just had to ask you to be my model" Yusuke stated, continuing to work but Ann shook her head.
"No, that's not what I meant, what made you wanna pick me" Ann asked, again as Yusuke placed a hand over his mouth.
"Hmm, it's hard to put into words…when I first saw you I had the feeling that I did when I first saw Sayuri," he explained.
"The Sayuri…that's the painting you showed us before right?" Ann asked, as Yusuke smiled excitedly,
"YES! All I want is to simply create art that satisfies me! A piece that I could look at and say 'yes! I can die happy creating this!' to me, the Sayuri is a piece like that" Yusuke explained, making Ann smile.
"Wow that sounds amazin-" "BUT! No matter how hard I try, nothing is ever good enough".
Yusuke then began gripping his painting in anger, surprising Ann "I paint and I paint, but somehow everything is just…missing!".
"Kitagawa…" Ann murmured "I guess I'm not a good enough model either huh….I don't really know much about art and aesthetics… and I doubt there's anything I could do that would help".
"There is…".
Ann blinked before looking up at Yusuke who had a determined look in his eyes "Takamaki-san please, allow me the honour of painting a nude of you!".
"Eh…EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!" Ann screamed.
"A-A-Are you serious?! A-And why a nude painting! C-Can't be something else!"
"I have complete faith in my intuition! And it's telling me that if I paint a nude of you, you who made feel as the Sayuri did, I may discover what it is that I lack"
"W-Wait! If you paint it, you're going to want to display it r-right! No! That's way too embarrassing!" Ann screamed, furiously shaking her head.
"Hoho, looks like you were rejected pretty hard Yusuke" They heard, before looking over to see Madarame walking in.
"Sensei!" "Oh thank god…"
"Now Yusuke's you should understand it's frowned upon to force your model into a situation she doesn't feel comfortable going into" Madarame stated, as Yusuke looked down.
"I-I understand," Yusuke nodded, clearly disappointed "I apologise for making you feel uncomfortable, I simply wished to paint you so that I could see how I feel while working on it".
"R-Right…" Ann sweatdropped, while looking away 'Okay good, now just gotta grab Morgana then we can leave and meet up with-'.
CLUNK!
"W-What was that" Madarame blinked, looking around
'Did Morgana unlock the door?' Ann thought, before looking over at Madarame and seeing his eyes widened.
"That sounded like it came from upstairs, could some have broken in" Yusuke wondered, before Ann moved to the door.
"I-I'm gonna take a look, my Quirk should be able to knock them out" Ann said, as she made her way upstairs.
"What! Takamaki wait!" "Yusuke! No!".
Ann quickly ran upstairs and smirked when she saw the blue door now open before she walked towards it "Relax, my Quirk can-huh?!".
"Takamaki-san you can't go in…there…" Yusuke muttered, as he inside the room was several duplicates of the Sayuri in different sizes as well as one painting on top of a stand with a purple cloak over it
"These are all the Sayuri right…why are there so many of them…" Ann questioned, confused.
"I-I have no idea…" Yusuke muttered, still shocked, "This is the first time I've been inside this room…"
"GET OUT!"
The two jumped as they saw Madarame walking in completely furious "Sensei, what is this!".
"Well, you've seen it now so I guess I can't keep it a secret anymore" Madarame sighed "I am…in debt, I've had little choice but to make copies of the Sayuri and sell them via special means…".
"But master…why" Yusuke questioned, as Madarame looked down.
"The original Sayuri was stolen by one of my former students before they fled the country…I suspect they found my teachings too strict and fostered some sort of grudge against me" Madarame explained "It all came in such a big shock that it put me in a terrible slump, that's why I've been working you and my previous students so hard and used your works, so that I could have something to show…but by doing that I pushed them away and they left, ever since I've been trying to recreate Sayuri again and again but I could only ever create simple copies"
"However, in a stroke of luck a patron came saying that they didn't mind that it was a copy and bought it from me, then more and more patrons came buying these copies…people's expectations of me became so great that I have to expand the scope of my work or rick creating problems for others…including how I raised you…" Madarame then bowed much to the surprise of Yusuke.
"All of this is my fault…please forgive this foolish and incompetent sensei!".
"N-No Sensei! Please don't ever apologise for-" "Hang on…".
"Something doesn't add up here…how could you have copied the Sayuri in the first place if the original was stolen" Ann questioned, making Madarame gulp.
"W-Well, I have a high res digital image of it" he tried to explain but Ann crossed her arms.
"I'm certain your Patrons would have noticed if you had traced from the internet, I mean would they really want a copy of a picture" Ann shot back making Madarame growl.
"W-What do you know about any of this! Don't question me!" Madarame growled, as Ann frowned.
"I'm sorry I'm just having a hard time believing you, like would the patrons really want the paintings if you were giving away so many? The Sayuri would be losing its Value…this all seems too fishy" Ann admitted, before spotting Morgana hiding around the corner.
"Lady Ann, what's behind the one with the cover" Morgana whispered, as Ann looked at the one covered up.
Ann raised an eyebrow as she reached for the one under a purple cloak "W-Wait not that one!".
"EH?!" Yusuke gasped, as he saw in front of him the Sayuri "The Sayuri…this is the original one but didn't you say it was stolen".
"Th-that one's just a copy!" Madarame yelled, but Yusuke glared at him.
"No! You're wrong! The Sayuri has been the inspiration for my entire life! I would never, ever mistake a mere copy for the original! Why did you lie to me" Yusuke demanded to know.
"You're mistaken! I-It's…it's a forgery! Yes! An extremely well done forgery! When I got word this was one floating around, so I bought it to take it off the market and reduce the confusion!"
"Didn't you just say you were in massive debt? How would you have the money for that? And on top of that, the original buying a forgery? Who would believe that" Ann pointed out, making Madarame glare at her.
"Sensei please, just tell me the truth! What is going on here" Yusuke pleaded, making Madarame step back.
Madarame growled a bit before his eyes widened when he saw Morgana in the corner "That cat…I KNEW IT!".
Madarame then stumped towards Ann and grabbed her shoulders making her jump "H-Hey let go! What are you doing!".
"I knew it was too much of a coincidence for a cat with a Quirk to show up on the same day as your brats! You and your friends were the ones who planned this! Well too bad but you won't be telling anyone!" Madarame screamed, as he began pushing Ann towards the Sayuri.
"Master! What are you doing" Yusuke questioned, before gasping as Ann submerged into the painting.
"W-Whoa! Whoa! Wait, let's talk about this!" Ann begged, as she struggled not to be pushed into the painting.
"Lady Ann! No!" Morgana screamed, before using his Quirk to change into a bird to fly in Madarame's way.
"Gah! Get off!" Madarame yelled, as he stepped back from Morgana's pecking but he still pushed Ann.
"Help!" Ann screamed, as she pushed into the painting but before she could be enveloped Yusuke grabbed her arm and pulled her out.
"Are you okay?" Yusuke asked, worried as Ann looked up at him "Y-Yeah, thanks".
"Grah!" Madarame yelled, slapping the bird back while he glared at Ann and Yusuke.
"Yusuke! You would betray me…fine, I'll just push you both in!" Madarame roared, as he moved towards the two.
"Oh no you don't" Ann glared while popping a sweet in her mouth before using her to turn the sugar into a pink gas
"Gah, ugh…" Madarame groaned, as he started getting dizzy from the gas.
"Lady Ann! Now's our chance to get out of here and into the Metaverse" Morgana yelled, back to normal as he dashed towards the door.
"Takamaki-san! Wait!" Yusuke begged, as he followed her before Morgana used his power to slip the three into the Metaverse.
Madarame's Palace
Safe Room
Third person P.O.V.
"Uh…huh?" Yusuke blinked, as he slowly looked around and found himself in a strange room he did not recognise.
"Mmmrrrgh" Yusuke gasped, when he saw Mona sleeping on the table and he was clearly not looking well.
"A…A monster cat Quirk?" Yusuke blinked, before he heard some footsteps from outside.
"Man that lion thing was tougher than it looked, well at least we managed to beat it and shut off the security" The voice of Skull said, before the door opened up.
"Oh! You're awake thank goodness" Panther smiled, while Yusuke gulped.
"W-Who are all of you!"
"W-Whoa, calm down it's just us!" Panther said, moving her mask up.
"Takamaki-san! T-Then you two must be her friends" Yusuke realised before frowning "Where have you taken me!".
"It's probably easier to explain if you take a look outside!" Joker stated, as he opened the door allowing Yusuke to walk out.
"What…what in the world!" Yusuke gasped, as he saw Madarame palace in all of its glory "What is this place".
"This is a Palace, a person's distorted view of a place made manifest…in a way you can think of it as that Person's heart" Joker explained, walking up next to him.
"And this is that old bastard Madarame's Place, it's full of sleazy ambition and money-grubbing greed," Skull scoffed, rolling his arms.
"NONSENSE! DON'T YOU DARE LIE TO-" "''If I could escape…I would have done so a long time ago'".
Yusuke's eyes widened as he looked over at Joker who had his arms crossed "That's what Nakanohara told me… I don't know if you knew the full thing, but you must have had a feeling what was happening".
"Kitagawa please, you saw what just happened! What he did to me! This whole place is a reflection of his heart. This place is proof that what he's doing is real! And even bigger than you can even realise" Panther stated.
"This Garish looking place…but, then who are all of you?" Yusuke asked, looking up at them.
"Ugh, call us the Phantom Thieves of Hearts" Mona groaned, shaking his head.
"Think of us as a group of vigilantes that are changing the hearts of folks the heroes can't stop" Skull smirked.
"I'm sorry to say but whatever you want us to or not, what Madarame is doing can't be ignored anymore we have to stop him no matter what" Joker stated, with a determined look.
"...I will admit that if what you said is true, then the Sensei that I know must truly exist…but even then, I cannot absolve myself from the debt I owe to him" Yusuke frowned, gripping his chest.
"What! You're letting him get away with it! Dude, wake up! At this rate he's gonna-" "Ugh…".
"Whoa!" Joker gasped, quickly helping Yusuke from falling to the ground as he gripped his head.
"Are you Kitagawa?" Panther asked, as Yusuke shook his head "Sorry I'm just feeling a little light headed".
"Yeah I'm feeling that too, it's probably from the sudden warp into the metaverse" Mona admitted, rubbing his head "We should go though, the security's super high right now, it's a wonder the Shadows haven't found us already!"
Joker nods "Yeah, alright. We should go. Can you walk, Kitagawa?"
"I should be fine, yes… I just have a lot to think about." The boy clutches his head,
None of the thieves are really sure if he's actually in pain or if he's just being dramatic.
"Alright then. Let's go" Joker stated, as they began leaving the Palace.
As the group made their way through the museum, Yusuke couldn't help but stare at the paintings of the other students "Why are there so many of the others here".
"Because that's what Madarame see's them, just the works of the great Madarame" Mona scoffed.
"Yeah, the dude only sees people as things he can use until they're done for then they're thrown away there's even one of you here" Skull explained, as Yusuke looked down.
"We were nothing but…things…"
Just as the group reached the open doors welcoming them back to the lobby, a hoard of shadow security guards burst from the ground in front of them.
"Shit! Everyone get ready!" Joker called as they readied their weapons but he also noticed Mona was still not looking great before the guards turned into several Koppo Tengu and rushed them.
"Hgg" Joker growled, as he blocked an attack from one Koppa tengu who tried to kick him.
"Whoa!" Panter cried, as she moved out of the way from the Tengu's wind attack before using her whip on one.
"Move out of the way! Ya bastard!" Skull yelled, as he swung his weapon at another Tengu smashing to the ground.
"Come on! Come on!" Morgana yelled, trying to slash at the Tengu who dodged the attack before slashing the not-cat sending him flying back.
"Mona!" Joker yelled, quickly jumping and catching his companion.
"What in the world is happening?" Yusuke gaped, trying to comprehend the battle he was witnessing before they all felt another presence in the room.
"Leaving so soon, rats?! You haven't even admired the special exhibit yet!"
The Thieves eyes widened at the recognisable voice as they turned around to see the ruler of the Palace, Shadow Madarame. His Shadow Self wears traditional yellow kimono with make-up on his face, with his hair being styled in a Japanese topknot look that closely resembles a paint brush, as well as his eyebrows, which are bushier than his normal ones.
"Sensei…?" Yusuke hesitantly asked, his face showing clear disbelief "This has to be some type of elaborate joke!"
"MADARAME!" Joker growled, gripping his knife as he blocked the attacks from the two Tengu's while protecting Mona.
"Ew is that what he looks like in here" Panther gulped, as she saw the disgusting smirk on Shadow Madarame's face before jumping away from another wind attack.
"Tch, first it was a pervy, tacky king and now it's a smiling flamboyant shogun!" Skull scoffed, before getting in the face by the last Tengu.
"Of course, that plain and boring look was what I cultivated for the public! It's all an act! Honestly who in their right minds would live in some run down shack" Shadow Madarame scoffed "I have a mansion more fitting of a man with my repertoire, under a mistresses name of course".
"Living your life off other people, some set up you got" Joker scoffed, as he leapt away from the two Tengu's while carrying Mona.
"What about the Sayuri? You have the real one, so why make copies? Why do you have the real one if it was supposedly stolen? Or was that just a part of your act as well?" Yusuke demanded, clearly heart broken as tears streamed down his face.
Panther was about to move to protect Yusuke but her own opponent kept her from doing that.
"It seems you are not as foolish as I thought! The lie gives me not only a story of why my previous students have left me, but also another source of income. Sayuri being stolen was nothing but a false rumour! It's the perfect set-up for a pitiful sob story and a perfectly calculated staging!"
"What are you talking about? If people think the painting is stolen, then what is the point of the counterfeits!?" Yusuke screamed, now ignoring the battle around him.
"How about this? 'The police were able to recover the painting, my maiden work and the most coveted of all! If it were to go public, it would put the Sayuri at risk, but I can't let it rot away in storage… Perhaps you could have it, for a special price, of course." Madarame acted, with a clear sense of smugness in his voice.
"How's that for preferential treatment!? Art snobs love a good story and pay handsomely at that! The worth of art is to the beholder. If they wish to pay me millions for a counterfeit and a few lies to repeat to their most trusted, then why should I stop them?"
Yusuke collapsed to his knees as he took in all of this information, literally hyperventilating because of this.
"You keep going on about money this and money that. No wonder you ended up with this disgusting museum!" Skull yelled, as he slammed his weapon into another Tengu however more showed up "Shit!".
"You're supposed to be an artist right?! Aren't you ashamed of stealing your pupils' work?!" Ann screamed, as she whipped two more Tengu's to the ground while more showed up.
"Do you actually think I care about the art? It's nothing but a tool, a means to an end! It's my ticket to money, luxury and fame!"
"But what about the people who admire you…? Don't you feel any guilt in betraying them?!"Yusuke shouted from the floor, that determination slowly growing as he forced himself to look at the true face of his teacher
"People like you? I never betrayed you Yusuke… It's been like this from the start! " Shadow Madarame stated, before he burst into uncontrollable laughter
"Did you really think I took you in out of the goodness of my heart? You had nowhere to go and genuine talent that only needed to be refined! You were the perfect target! After all, it's much easier to steal the futures of children who can't fight back." He grinned, maliciously.
"You and the rest of my pupils are nothing but tools! Like livestock killed for their hide and meat. You are my last remaining artwork and I'll be damned if you think you can rise against me-" "And that's why you've been using your quirk to trap them in your paintings when they were trying to take him away right".
Yusuke's eyes widened as he looked over at Ren "What?".
"Yusuke listen, the students of his school, the people you grew up with…they wanted to start and art centre…a place where they could their work and actually teach people art without being treated terribly like Madarame did to them and they wanted to bring you along…because they still considered you family" Joker explained, before pointing his gun at Madarame "And when this bastard found it, he's been using his Quirk to trap them in his painting keeping them from taking you and rising up on their own in the art world".
"AND WHAT OF IT!" Shadow Madarame screamed, pure rage in his voice "All of them were my property from the beginning! They never should have left me! I'm just making sure they'll never leave again and take away the fame and fortune I have now-" "...How amusing".
Everyone in the room stopped as they watched Yusuke slowly laughing to himself "It seems truth truly is stranger than fiction…".
"For the longest time I buried my head in the sand, telling myself it couldn't possibly be true…" Yusuke said to tell himself as he stepped forward. "I called myself an artist, yet I was blind..I could not tell authenticity from artifice even when it stared at me in the face"
"Have you, at long last finally come to your senses?"
Yusuke eyes then shot open with as he felt a great pain fill his head forcing him to grip it "GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHH!".
"How foolishly you have averted your eyes from the truth"
"NO! Guards! Execute him!" Madarame yelled, as the Tengu rushed towards him, as Yusuke fell to his knees, the pain continuing to course through his being.
"A deplorable imitation indeed…Best you part from that aspect of yourself! "
"Oh no you don't! Arsene!" "Very well! Let us wreck havoc!"
"Keep them busy! Captain kidd!". "Yeah! It's party time!"
"Help me out too! Carmen!" "Fufu, very well let's have some fun!"
"I can still fight! Zorro!" "Let us protect him with our very soul!"
The thieves fought together with their Persona's to protect Yusuke's as the words of the contract flowed through his mind.
" Let us now forge a contract. I am thou, thou art I…"
Yusuke gripped onto the floor to keep him steady, only for his nails to crack and for blood to seep from his skin, leaving a trail of crimson red blood to stain the floor as his fingers dragged across it.
"The world is filled with both beauty and vice…It is time you teach people which is which!"
"Very well" Yusuke stated, rising to his feet as blue azure flames formed on his face and transformed into a kitsune max.
And with his still bleeding hand he gripped onto the mask, and with all of his strength he ripped the mask off with a single elegant tug.
"COME TO ME! GOEMON!".
An explosion of blue flames burst from Yusuke, before a freezing cold wind froze the area around them along with all of the enemies around them before the flames died down.
His Phantom Thief attire outfit consists of a traditional Kitsune style half mask, a black high-collared puff-sleeved jumpsuit with a striped sash worn across his hips, white motorcycle boots, and bright blue gloves, with a hole in the jump suit for his fox tail.
As for his Persona, he seemed to be styled after Kabuki, dressed in an extravagant blue robe and massive platform shoes in the shape of puzzle pieces. In one hand, he held a massive smoking pipe, large enough to be a dangerous weapon.
With drama expected from an artist about to go on a rampage, Yusuke addressed the remaining guards flaking Madarame, framing each between his fingers.
"A breath-taking sight… Imitations they may be, but together, they make a fine spectacle… Though the flowers of evil blossom, be it known... Abominations are fated to perish!" Yusuke declared, as his Persona stood tall along with the others Persona's while the frozen shadows shattered in pieces around them.
And cliffhanger~
That's right ending it here, cause this was too cool and perfect as the end point and I'll probably have the awakening for the next chapter as well.
But yeah, what do you think of what I did for this chapter? To be honest I did a lot more for it then I had originally expected I was going to do.
And I did a lot more foreshadowing for stuff I'll be doing later in the story, some you know and some you don't know so look forward to that.
But for now, how about we get to the reviews.
Shadow Joestar: Thanks, glad you like the chapter
Guest: Thanks
Grand Chaos Master: To be honest, if I ever get to Strikers that'll be a part of Ren's character arc.
Tiger1301: And so does the baby from Jojo
TheBeatles211: Neither, you'll just have to wait and see who she is~
Hmm maybe, but I'll have to think about who to make who.
I hope the reveal of what Madarame has been doing to his students was satisfying for you.
Ch 14:
Unintentionally yeah
Yeah I want the others to actually really like Keichiro before the reveal is dropped.
I took most of it from canon, but I think this version of Ren isn't the kind of person who would try getting the person questioning angry.
You got it one, I also added the point that all of his students were people with physical quirks.
But anyway with that said, don't forget to review and favourite this story and of course
See you next chapter
