Familiar Thieves: A One Shot and Challenge Fic

by IdleManRPG

It's been around a year since Louise attempted suicide and ended up on Earth. She grew as a person, she, her boyfriend and best friend look like they'll have great careers, and she's confident to join public school. Life is good. At least until the trio and the rest of the Phantom Thieves were investigating a Jail. Now they're somehow back in her homeland. Just what she needed.

A new one shot and challenge people! Enjoy.

In a bedroom of a modest apartment in Tokyo, Japan, the sun was beginning to peek into the window, illuminating the interior. The occupant of said room, was out cold, too deep into her sleep to acknowledge the change in light, and would continue to sleep. At least until he'd alarm clock went off.

"Ugh, just let me sleep." a teenage girl of around sixteen years of age muttered to herself groggily, trying to ignore the blaring of the alarm clock. Despite her wishes, the damned machine continued to go off, and with great reluctance to leave her bed, Louise Valliere got up, long pink hair obscuring her tired face.

It was amazing what a year could do to someone, especially to Louise, as with a proper diet and exercise regimen given to her from someone who knew what they were doing, she was completely unrecognizable. Now she had a body that could give Kirche a run for her money!

Standing at a modest 5'4, not too out of place of the Japanese populace, the formerly flat, curveless girl would no longer be mistaken for a child! Shapely legs with decently thick thighs connected to a large, soft, shapely bottom. Decently wide hips tapered off into a waist that, while not a distinct hourglass figure like her friend Ann, did the job. Speaking of hourglass, up top was a VERY large pair of breasts to compliment her rear. She'd hazard a guess and say they were the same size, if not slightly smaller than the bronze Germanians own.

While she was happy to have curves, let it be known that she did somewhat regret the fact they were so large. Despite the drastic changes in her body, her face remained completely unchanged for the most part, maybe slightly less baby fat. Yawning, the teen began making her bed as well as cleaning up her room.

Nothing extravagant in her relatively small room. A bed, a dresser, a bookshelf with a variety of subjects, and a desk that held her laptop, aka one of the best inventions she owned. It was a far cry from how she used to live, as she was more than content with the modest lodging. Between the two, she'd choose this every day. Grabbing a fresh set of clothes, the pinkette made her way into the shower, letting the hot water bask over her as her mind began to wander.

"I can't believe it's been nearly a year already. Time sure flies." She thought to herself, remembering what led to her current situation. Her life before ending up in Japan was honestly hell for the most part. Yes she had a roof over her head, clothes, food, all the stuff a noble child would have. She was friends with the princess, her parents, while somewhat aloof, did love her, and she had two older sisters.

Then it was found out she couldn't cast magic 'properly'.

Best tutors money could buy, experts, nobody could figure out what was wrong, and everything went downhill from there. For something completely out of her control. Her parents started to distance themselves somewhat, focusing more on making her a worthy bride: even engaging her to a man a decade older than her. Her eldest sister became more vitriol. She became a laughing stock amongst nobility, the whispers weighing down on her more and more.

It reached the tipping point when she was enrolled at the academy. Everything was cranked up to eleven. Her peers were animals when it came to her, taunting and bullying her for every mistake. Most of the teachers turned a blind eye and the pitying stares sent her way. She'd admit she wasn't the nicest girl to others, so she'd admit some of it was warranted but they took it way too far.

She couldn't take it anymore, and without not even a note, she flung herself from her dorm window, intent on ending her life. Whether it was by fate, chance or sheer luck, she never hit the ground.

She had no idea how she ended up in Tokyo, Japan. All she knows they found her in a dumpster with a nasty bump on her head, and she woke up in the hospital knowing nothing but her name. There was a whole investigation as to where she came from but nobody could find anything. If things were worse, she could've ended up floating through the system but she was beyond grateful to be taken in by her guardian.

She adjusted well all things considered, considering her mind was a blank slate and absorbing everything fairly quickly. It only took her a few months for her to be able to blend in moderately well with speaking and writing. Her guardian treated her as her own, feeding, clothing and sheltering her, amongst other things. While she wasn't quite ready to go to public school that year, she was more than ready after summer ended.

Compared to her old life in Halkegenia, she was much happier being a citizen of Japan. When she eventually got her memories back, all she could feel was shame at what she was like back then. Such a bitch. It was no wonder she was bullied as hard as she was, beyond the magic aspect. So she vowed to never be like that again.

Of course, she never revealed that to her guardian. Yeah things were a bit crazy here but coming from another world was a bit too outlandish. If she was her old self, she'd doubt it too.

Realizing she was taking a little bit too long in there, she shut off the water and began drying off.

Heading downstairs, clad in some black leggings that hugged her lower curves and a white tank top that despite her efforts, hugged her chest a little too much along with a sliver of cleavage, she saw the two other people living with her already eating breakfast, a third spot open for her.

"Good morning Louise." her guardian Tae Takemi and her cousin Saito Hiraga greeted Louise with a warm smile, one she eagerly returned.

Tae was a doctor in a clinic a little out of the way, yet she was no less treasured by her patients. She was apparently in her dumpster and she brought her to the hospital and offered to take care of her. She was somewhat strange to the pinkette at first, but in a good way. She was also brilliant, as despite running her clinic, she was also able to devote time to creating new medicines thanks to a certain guinea pig they all knew. She took care of her like her own, home schooling her, feeding and clothing her. A complete stranger making her feel more than welcome.

Saito was Takemi's cousin who came to live with her a few months after she showed up, and like Tae, was more than welcoming. With black hair and blue eyes, he stood a little taller than her at 5'6, with a toned body, currently clad in a simple black t-shirt and blue shorts. While Tae handled her education, livelihood and well being, Saito showed her the more fun side of things. Movies, games, amusement parks, the beach, everything she couldn't experience in a book, he was right there with her, showing her a whole walk of life she'd never experienced in books or as a noble.

Most importantly, he was her boyfriend. Compared to her old self, she'd be ashamed at the fact she was dating a 'commoner' instead of her arranged fiance Wardes. However, after everything she's been through, she'd throw everything away to stay with him and live this life.

"Good morning Tae, Saito." She greeted happily before plopping down in the free seat, a cup of coffee ready for her. Like a starving man she eagerly drank the caffeinated drink, forgoing table manners in favor of waking up.

"Mmmm, coffee. Gift of the gods." She muttered to herself jokingly. Her companions could only chuckle.

"You can drink it on the go, otherwise you might miss the subway." Tae said, reminding them of the fact she'd be leaving Shibuya for a few weeks, and thus leaving them alone. That and they were going to meet up with their other friends for a 'special event' later in the day, so the sooner they left, the better.

"We'll see you in a few weeks Tae. Take care." the duo said as they got up, giving their cousin/guardian a goodbye hug which was returned. Louise broke away first, grabbing a VERY large travel bag she brought everywhere, bigger than her torso, as well as giving Saito his bag. Tae began gently ushering them along and out of the apartment and into the hot air.

"I'll be fine you two, it's you who have to be careful. Remember, wear a condom!" Tae teased before locking the door behind the duo. Saito could only sigh at his cousin.

"She's so embarrassing." He muttered, making Louise giggle at his reaction, although she too was embarrassed at her remark. It wasn't exactly a secret in the apartment what the two of them did together.

"She's like that because she cares. C'mon, Tifa is waiting for us." Louise said before dragging Saito to the train station. A short walk, along with sending a wave at Sojiro Sakura, the owner of LeBlanc, the two of them made it to the station, where their friend and final individual of their little trio was there waiting for them.

"Good morning you two lovebirds." Tiffiana 'Tifa' Westwood greeted from the entrance leading to the subway entrance of Yongen-Jaya. The third member of their little trinity stood at 5'5, wearing blue jeans that hugged curvy hips and bubbly rear. Up top was light green blouse that showed off a sliver of her tanned midsection and complimented her long blonde hair. Despite her modest outfit, it was her exotic appearance that was drawing a few stares from passing people. That and two other big reasons. As like Louise, she was very busty. Much more so than Louise or even Kirche, she possessed nearly head sized mammaries that no matter what she couldn't hide. Not that Louise or Saito would want that, not that they'd ever admit that. Louise groaned.

"Can you at least let me drink my coffee before you tease me?" she pleaded, only for Tifa to give her a grin.

"Nope." She said before dragging her friends to the subway, nobody sparing the three human looking individuals a second glance. The trio knew better though. As while Tifa being a half elf caused no impact on their friendship, they weren't eager to jinx the fact she looked like a normal human here.

Jamming themselves into the subway, Louise continued her trip down memory lane. She was making a name for herself locally with her participation in local plays, as she found she was a pretty good actress. Was even a subject of interest of a few agents who said she could make it big if she wanted to. Saito wanted to be a writer and she'd fully admit that she told all about how her old world functioned to give him a boost.

Needless to say, that ongoing story was picking up in popularity.

Tifa planned to become a teacher, a holdover from her growing up watching over an orphanage. While she had no clue what came of her old charges, she could at least sleep easy knowing that in the event she or her sister went missing, they were to move elsewhere.

"You have everything?" Saito asked when he saw her fumbling with her large bag, which looked comical on her smaller frame. She was fully paranoid and she'd admit it. She had no idea how she ended up on a whole other planet, but all she knew was there was the possibility she and Tifa could somehow end up back in Halkegania. That's why she prepared for that possibility.

Working part time jobs, some allowance and Saito's help, she eventually bought everything she needed. A laptop, a few hard drives filled to the brim with blueprints and other instructions, solar chargers and batteries, books, a few basic seeds and ingredients, etcetera. Everything needed that could help boost Halkegenia as a country.

"Double checking and yes." Louise said, confirming that she did indeed have everything. Tifa leaned in a little.

"Do you really think we could possibly end up back in Halkegenia one day?" she asked quietly in worry. Worried because as a half elf, she'd be hunted down like an animal. While she was certain that Louise and by extension Henrietta would help protect her, if Louise asked that of her, that high possibility of that being ignored still lingered. Louise sighed.

"We came here somehow, logically we can somehow end up back." she muttered despondently, creating a heavy atmosphere for the trio. They rode the rest of the train in silence.

Soon, the train arrived in Shibuya and the trio departed. Blending into the masses, and with some difficulty due some more 'enthusiastic' individuals, the trio spotted their targets hanging out near the Big Bang Burger: the rest of the Phantom Thieves.

"Sup you guys." Saito called out, waving a hand in greeting before fist bumping Ryuji-AKA Skull. Greetings were exchanged between everyone, save one. From the shadows, the criminal Akechi scoffed in annoyance.

"It's about time you three showed up. These two have been glaring at me nonstop." He sneered, jabbing a thumb at Haru, AKA Noir, and Futaba, AKA Oracle.

"Trust me, we don't like you here either. You're only here because of the likelihood of another reality warping, world ending disaster." Futaba growled, sarcasm dripping off her voice in droves while Haru merely cracked her knuckles. Louise, Tiffiana and Saito couldn't blame them. Before a fight could break out, Makoto, AKA Queen stepped in.

"Everyone, please calm down. The sooner we get this all done the sooner Akechi can leave." She mediated, performing her role as second in command. Backing off for the time, everyone made their way to a back alley near Untouchable, which was regretfully closed for the foreseeable future. Their leader Ren, AKA Joker took out his phone, while their cat companion Morgana, AKA Mona had his head popping out the bag on their leader's shoulder.

"Everyone ready?" He asked, thumb hovering over the Metaverse app, an action everyone mimicked on their own devices.

"Let's go." Ren announced, with everyone entering the Metaverse as one. Reality began distorting around them, the bright sunny day making way for a dark, purple night. All signs of color and life were lost, replaced with a general drab atmosphere everywhere. Save one place.

Alice's Jail. Spotlights scanned the air in every direction while Shadows swarmed the streets in droves. Above the city, the Phantom Thieves and Crow surveyed their quarry. The AI known as Sophia, AKA Sophie looked upon it all with curiosity. Her big white fluffy coat was comically oversized for the tiny girl, the Metaverse now giving her physical form. Her twin pigtails now one, reaching down to black, thigh high stockings, all the while her head was completely encased by her hood. As everyone, save Crow, gushed over Sophie, Louise, Tiffiana and Saito looked over themselves.

"Ah, it feels so good to be a Thief again." Louise, AKA Demo said to herself as she started stretching. Her Thief outfit could best be described as a high tech, medieval knight. The majority of her body was covered in shiny chrome armored plating with dark brown spandex in the joints and other high movement areas, along with a short metal skirt that went mid thigh. The only areas that weren't armored were her upper arms, her upper chest which showed some cleavage, and her neck and lower face. Her lower left arm had a thin gauntlet that contrasted with her lower right arm, as that gauntlet was much beefier. The upper half of her face was covered by an altered Spangenhelm, one that allowed her hair to flow freely as all that remained of it covered her upper face. Finally, numerous, neon pink lights lined the edges and seams of the armor, slowly pulsing as if they had a mind of their own.

On her back she carried her weapons and she was armed to the teeth. A large Warhammer a little bigger than Skull's weapon was strung on her left shoulder, right next to an RPG. On her right shoulder was a Chainsaw, sitting right above a large Minigun that rested comfortably on top of her metal skirt.

"It's only been a day babe." Saito said as he came up to his girlfriend. In complete contrast to Louise, Saito was much less armored. His upper torso was encased in a thin, dark red breastplate that left his toned abdomen exposed, much to his girlfriend's delight. His toned arms were exposed in their entirety, allowing a wide range of movement, while his hands possessed claw-like gloves. Down below, his red boots were designed to resemble clawed feet, connecting to layered shin guards that went just below his knees. Tucked into said shin guards was a pair of baggy and airy black pants.

Finally, his full face mask was that of a demonic oni. Horns jutted out from the forehead while overgrown fangs jutted out to the side of a wide grin filled with sharp teeth. Strung along his back was a large Naginata that towered over him, which was accompanied by a Sniper Rifle of substantial size.

Truly representative of the codename Oni.

Tiffiana, AKA Rangers outfit was by far the most eye-catching of the trio, as like Panther and dare they say Violet, hers was incredibly lewd and revealing. A dark green leotard clung onto her curvaceous body like a second skin, showing off more than enough skin. Thick, soft thighs were on display as well as most of her legs, as her footwear were some simple leather boots. Moving up top, her impressive chest was on the verge of popping out, the skimpy leotard barely covering her nipples and allowing the massive orbs to jiggle freely as well as show off her cleavage, neck and shoulders. Behind her was a similar situation, as a good chunk of her plump, bouncy rear was on display, similar to a bikini bottom the way it hugged said cheeks. The rest of her rear was covered as well as her lower back.

Her left arm was completely bare, while her right arm was equipped with a leather arm guard of sorts, similar to one archers would use. Perfect as on her back was a very large modern bow alongside a quiver filled with arrows. On her hips were a pair of foot long knives. Finally, a cloth blindfold was wrapped around her eyes as her blonde hair flowed freely, as well as her long, thin ears, denoting her otherworldly elven heritage.

"You two and our man whore of a leader and his ladies can fawn over each other later, right now we have a job to do." Crow sneered, roughly shoving Oni in the back of the head as he looked over the city. Said madman twitching occasionally, bloodlust coming to the surface. As the psycho gazed over the city, Oracle came forth and brought up all the data to the group.

"So we currently have three different Prison Keeps scattered throughout Shibuya." Ann, AKA Panther commented, pointing out the three Prison Keeps scattered throughout the city. Sumire, AKA Violet also chimed in.

"There's also a large amount of Shadows patrolling today. Alice must've beefed up security once she caught wind of us in here." She said, making everyone wince. If they went and took one Desire, there was no doubt all the other Shadows would flock to the other Desires, making taking them harder and harder. Demo's eyes lit up as she got an idea.

"Ooh, ooh, I actually have an idea for that." Demo said, bouncing around like a child on sugar, a wide grin on her face. Oni and Ranger could only look at her and roll their eyes at her antics.

"Does it involve blowing things up?" Noir asked rhetorically, a bloodthirsty grin on the Psychokinesis user's face. Demo's smile matched the floofy ones.

"You know me so well Noir, hehe." She cackled madly before she began to explain her plan. It was risky but it would make things much easier.

"Good luck to you three. Oracle, keep an eye on them and call us if they need back up." Joker said as he dashed off. Skull, Mona and Panther went off to one Prison Keep. Queen, Noir and Fox went off towards another while Violet and Crow went together after Joker. The plan was for Joker, Crow and Violet to simply blitz through their Prison Keep before heading off towards the other two keeps where needed, with Oracle keeping an eye on everything with Necronomicon above the city. Sophie would stay with Oracle for the time being, considering her lack of experience as well as the fact their navigator would need protection.

Demo, Oni and Rangers' part of the plan was pretty straightforward. Demo leaned over the edge of the building, watching what was easily hundreds of Shadows congregate in Central Shibuya. Wordlessly, the trio lazily walked off the edge, beginning their freefall.

"It's Showtime!" Oni muttered as he began sliding against the glass walls effortlessly. As the trio slid down, a large helicopter like Shadow flew up to match their descending elevation. The minigun in its hands began to spin up before peppering them in bullets that they dodged with relative ease. Drawing her knives, Ranger launched herself off the building and onto the Shadow, throwing off its aim. With great acrobatics, she flipped herself onto the top of it, stabbing her knives into its rotors. As the black blood-like substance gushed from its smoking engines, she drew her bow and began firing into its head area, bringing it down to the ground in a freefall. As she neared the ground, she jumped off it and landed in a crouch, perfectly in sync with Oni and Demo.

"Alright you bastards let's do this!" Demo shouted as she drew her warhammer, hefting it onto her shoulder before beckoning the slowly growing army over. Getting impatient, the pinkette charged forward and swung the hammer like a bat, sending a Shadow flying. Not letting up, she dived into the center of the small army, drawing aggro as she went on her rampage. Jack-o-Lanterns and Pixies were sent crashing into each other as Demo smashed them with her hammer.

Nearby, Oni and Ranger were doing the same. Naginata in hand, Oni weaved through the masses with ease, twirling his blade with expert skill, dozens of cuts lining whatever Shadow he could reach. Never staying in one play too long, he was more focused on whittling them down a tiny bit. Seeing a Shadow nearby, all alone, he made a beeline for it. Using his weapon as a pole vault, he gave the Shadow a good dropkick that sent it to the ground. Adjusting his position midair, he brought the blade down into its chest, causing it to disperse before he went back to running around

Ranger meanwhile was shooting her bow and arrow, her blindfold doing nothing to impair her vision. Arms and legs of the humanoid Shadows were weighed down by arrows that punched through the limb completely. Any who did get close were taken down by an expertly performed dance of blades before she ran off to make more distance. Seeing a Bicorn preparing to charge, she notched an arrow and fed some SP into it, small sparks of lightning dancing on its tip. Once the Bicorn charged, she let it fly, knocking it down and causing it to tumble into a few unlucky Shadows. Panting from the significant SP drain, she saw Demo making her way to the downed Shadow.

Jumping high into the air, she brought the hammer down on it hard enough the ground cracked under her. The Shadow defeated, she sent a nod to her female friend, one that was returned. Seeing a large group of Pixies coming over, she was unprepared for the lightning bolt of a Zio striking her, making her grunt in pain and taking a decent chunk out of her health. Growling in rage, the pinkette sheathed her hammer and instead grabbed her Minigun off her back. The Pixies couldn't react as their weakness was exploited, dozens of bullets hitting them hard and causing them to fade.

"Is that all you got?" Demo shouted crazily, aiming indiscriminately at whatever Shadow she saw, she didn't notice one sneaking up on her. As it raised its arm above its head, she finally sensed it, turning around fast enough to see it be blow apart by Oni, a loud deafening crack signaling that Oni shot it with his Sniper Rifle. Muzzle still smoking, he quickly made his way to his girlfriend.

"Settle down Demo." He chided, with the shorter girl shooting him a smirk. Aiming her minigun at a Shadow, she frowned when nothing came out. Sheathing the weapon, she pulled out her Chainsaw and with a single tug, it whirled to life, serrated blade becoming a blur. Without thinking she brought it down on a poor Shadow, showering her in black gunk as it was destroyed nearly instantly as well as replenishing some of her ammo.

"If I don't, will you punish me later?" she teased, leaning forward a little to show off a little of her chest, as well as cocking a hip. Despite the mask, she knew he was blushing deeply at her actions. Oni rolled his eyes affectionately.

"You're a devilish minx, ya know that?" He joked, unsheathing his Naginata and stabbing it into a Shadow that charged behind him. With the other hand, he lazily aimed his Sniper Rifle somewhere behind him, scoring a hit on an unlucky Shadow. Let it be known by only those two that it was Louise who initiated the bedroom activities between them.

"I'm not a Heretic for nothing babe!" Demo cackled as she started swinging her hammer around her like a whirlwind, smashing whatever was unlucky enough to come closer. Losing momentum, she let the hammer collapse to the ground heavily. Oni was dealing with his own little group, using one Shadow as a shield of sorts. Panting a little, Demo caught sight of a lone Shadow sneaking up on her boyfriend. Before she could call out, an arrow shot true and ended the threat as Ranger hurried over.

"Please don't lose yourself to the bloodlust, lest you get caught off guard." Ranger chided as she cast a Media on the trio, further draining her SP to critical levels and bringing them all to max health. Panting, she couldn't stop herself from stumbling a little, Demo there to catch her.

"Thanks." the exhausted half elf muttered. As Demo reigned in her bloodlust to focus on protecting Ranger, Oni was mopping up the last of the Shadows.

"They're thinning out you two, get ready for the big boss." He called out as he executed another Shadow. Sure enough, the small army was now down to a few dozen Shadows, which were now parting for a new one. This one was slightly larger than its brethren, with red veins along its limbs.

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear." Ranger got out as what was obviously the boss made its way forward.

"Damn Thieves!" it growled before its body pulsed and exploded in a shower of black ooze. A large humanoid woman with green skin floated above the ground while a red dress flowed weightlessly.

"Or she." Oni deadpanned as the larger than average form of Silky made itself known. Demo didn't care.

"Finally, an actual challenge." She cried before recklessly rushing the Shadow in bloodlust. This was a mistake as it lazily smacked her, sending her soaring into a police car and denting it deeply.

"Oof. Okay, I had that coming." She muttered dazed. Feeling something wet, she brought a hand to her nose and saw it was bleeding as well as taking out a good chunk of her health. The bleeding stopped as the green sparkles of Dia washed over her before she charged back in, hand on her mask.

"Come forth, Joan of Arc!" she announced, blue flames surging around her. Above her was her Persona.

Garbed in a gray metal breastplate and skirt that obscured her legs, Joan of Arc was an interesting looking Persona. Porcelain white skin clashed with her armor drastically, making the dark blue patches and stitches on her wrists, elbows and other joints stand out more, as if she was put back together. Two moderately sized wings propelling her forward, one feathered and angelic with blue flames, the other black and bat-like with black fire. Half of her face was smooth and divine in its beauty, while the other was black and burnt. Finally, a devilish horn was jutting from the burnt half, while half a halo hung above the unburnt one. In her hands was a large hammer similar in size to Demo's only this one heavily looked like a cross.

Summoned by her partner, the Persona rushed at the Silky, roughly grabbing it by the throat and delivering a viscous headbutt that sent it to the ground before she dispersed for the time being.

"I got you." Oni called out as he and Demo flanked the Silky from opposing sides. Realizing the hammer wouldn't cut it, she put it back on her shoulder and swapped it for the Chainsaw. Revving up the angry machine, she forced the Shadow onto the defensive, allowing Oni to chip away at it unopposed, dozens of shallow cuts starting to build up. Taking a risk, the Silky made an attempt to grab the sole male, only to have a large arrow stab through its hand as well as the Chainsaw dig into its leg, black ooze gushing out.

Off in the distance above Ranger was her Persona, Artemis, who had just fired that arrow.

Artemis possessed auburn hair that complimented her pale skin. Silver eyes glared at the Shadow while large, deer antlers sprouted from her like a crown. In her hands was a large, intricate bow that had the carvings of numerous monsters of Greek Mythology carved into it. She was garbed in a simple, silver dress that showed off her arms, lower legs and bare feet.

Pulling itself from the pinkette, it began applying ice to the wound, giving Oni and Ranger a moment of opportunity. Running towards Oni, Ranger let herself be vaulted from him, making a beeline towards the Shadow. Hopping onto its back and shoulder area, she took out her knives and began stabbing them into the boss, not caring where or what she stabbed. As ooze gushed from the wounds, the Shadow bucked wildly, attempting to dislodge its assailant, allowing the other two to continue their assault.

Pulling off his mask, Oni summoned his Persona, Oda Nobunaga.

One Nobunaga was a fearsome, imposing Persona that was more demon than man. Blood red, bark like scales lined most of his body, save his left arm which was still human in appearance. On his shoulders were two pauldrons made of white steam, twisting and comforting into numerous demons constantly. Two banners stuck out from his back while his right hand carried a demonic spear. Finally, his head possessed a human face similar to Oni's mask while long black hair flowed around weightlessly.

Summoned forth, Oda Nobunaga instead opted to buff him and his allies. The trio could feel themselves getting stronger and more durable. Artemis joined in on this, only this time she focused on debuffing the Silky, slowing it down and lowering its attack and defense as well before both Persona's vanished.

Oni threw his Naginata like a spear, getting lodged in the Shadows midsection. Melee weapon gone, he now began taking aim at the Shadow with his rifle, good-sized chunks blowing off the boss. Taking out her warhammer, Demo swung it at the ice that covered the Chainsaw wound, reopening it. Keeping her momentum, she performed a spin before slamming it into Oni's Naginata like a nail, driving it through until it was sticking out the back. The Shadows' struggles lessened drastically, so Ranger ceased her stabbing and jumped off, firing a quick arrow into a shoulder midair before running away.

"Let's end this!" Demo cheered, blue flames dancing off her a little, primarily on her RPG. Grabbing her mask, she took it off with a dramatic flourish.

"Come forth, Joan of Arc!" she called, blue flames surging around her and coalescing into her Persona. The disturbingly beautiful amalgamation of knight, demon and angel floating above her other self, its eerily serene gaze staring at the shadow. Grabbing her partner, the persona gently grabbing Louise before launching her high into the sky above. As she approached the climax of her ascent, she unhooked the RPG from behind her, which was now pulsing with blue flame and lazily took aim.

"Kaboom baby!" she muttered before firing. The anti tank projectile made a direct hit with its target, bringing forth an explosion far larger than anything she ever produced in Halkegania. Plummeting in a freefall, she effortlessly bounced and swung around the environment for a safe landing, to the polite applause of her audience. She could only give a dramatic bow.

Shortly after their battle was completed, everyone else came running in, most of them in much better shape than they were overall, with the likes of Skull, Noir and Crow a little more beat up than their partners. Oni waved at them.

"Just in time. You missed the fireworks!" he greeted, making Skull snort and everyone else roll their eyes.

"No, we didn't miss any fireworks." He deadpanned. The entire Jail saw Demo's explosion. They'd have to be blind to miss it. The pinkette could only whistle innocently and look elsewhere. Before they could dwell on it, Oracle interjected.

"MOVING ON. Thanks to Demo's wonderful bout of mass destruction, we have successfully raided all three prison keeps!" she cheered, much to the relief of everyone else. This raid took a lot out of them, with Ranger barely able to stand on her feet, with Mona and Queen in similar exhausted states. Seeing the states of everyone, Joker spoke up.

"Well, I think that's enough for one day. Unless there's anything else you guys think we need to do?" he asked, looking at his teammates. Almost everyone shook their heads, save Crow, who clearly wanted to keep killing. He was ignored. As everyone stumbled and limped to the entrance of the Jail, something caught Violet's eye.

"Um, Senpai? Do you see that?" she asked awkwardly, getting the leader's attention. Silver gray eyes could only narrow in concern, making him and by extent the rest if the team stop in their tracks. Around twenty feet away, in plain view of everyone was a strange portal of sorts. It was primarily green, with a few specks of red and blue sprinkled in as it swirled around menacingly.

"Ominous green portal in the middle of the Jail?" Fox confirmed in deadpan, making everyone nod.

"Oh good, I am not the only one getting a sense of foreboding doom from it." Mona muttered, a sentiment everyone save one shared.

"It's pretty." Sophie said in a trance-like state. She only made one foot towards it before she was tugged back to the group. Looking back, she saw Joker shake his head. Demo spoke up.

"Well, it's not moving, so just stay away from it. Hopefully it'll go away soon." She offered, somewhat unsure of what she was offering, would work. In all honesty, it was the best option they had. For about five minutes, they just watched the vortex stand there. Doing nothing except swirl. Sure enough, it eventually collapsed in on itself.

"See, the problem solved itself. Alright let's go." Ranger said, reminding everyone of what they were originally doing. However, when they were a few feet away from the exit, they were unprepared for when, for some unfathomable reason, they vanished in the blink of an idea, with no sign they were there.

The only thing they left behind was an all too quiet Jail. As if time had stopped.

The gang found themselves in a brief freefall, around ten feet off the ground. The more agile members quickly reorientated themselves mid air and made a safe landing. The less dexterous members of Skull, Noir and Demo could only land unceremoniously on the cold hard dirt. Oracle had Skull as a cushion.

"Gah what the hell man." Skull groaned out as Oracle got off him. Slowly but surely, everyone got to their feet shakily, as they took in their location. It was night time, and they were now in the middle of a thick forest, lush and seemingly untouched by man.

"It is indeed peculiar." Fox remarked, taking in the gorgeous scenario. If only he had his sketchbook with him. Before he could dwell on it, Panther brought up a good point.

"Um, guys, we're still in our outfits, but not in the Jail." She remarked, gesturing to her red latex suit and then forest. It was possible that they were in a different Jail and could get back to Shibuya, but they had bigger things to worry about. Skull groaned.

"Seriously, how the hell did we end up in a forest of all things?" He complained as he cracked his back. As Noir and Demo loosened themselves up and popped things back into place, the pinkette took notice of Joker having a look of concentration on his face as he stared at his gloved hand.

"What are you doing boss?" she called out as she rolled her shoulder with a loud pop. Ignoring the stares on him, Joker continued to concentrate and with a burst of blue flame, his Thief attire was replaced with the clothes he was wearing in Shibuya, startling everyone.

"Okay, that's weird. Can I?" Oni muttered as concentrated as well, and sure enough, he was back in civilian wear as Saito. Soon after, everyone joined in with testing. Demo soon became Louise, who still had her backpack on her. Ranger became Tiffiana, although there was something slightly different than usual.

"Oh c'mon. Why aren't my ears going away?" Tiffiana whined in annoyance, drawing the attention of Yusuke, who immediately began invading her personal space, making her blush as he inspected her long elf ears. Louise and Saito felt their hearts clench at the sight.

"So adorable." they whispered under their breath, but Tiffiana heard it with a twitch of the ear. As Tiffiana was fawned over, Louise decided to experiment a little more.

"Hmmm. Let's try this." She muttered, grabbing a fist sized rock from nearby. Taking a baseball pitcher's stance, she threw said rock with all her might at a good sized tree. Sure enough, the ball flew faster than most could see and lodged itself deep into the tree, leaving a large crater and numerous cracks.

"Okay, still superhuman. What the hell is happening?" Saito asked as he lifted up the end of a downed log with ease. Everyone repeated various strength and athletic checks to the same result. They still were just as efficient, strong, fast, durable in civilian form as they were as Thieves. As everyone digested this revelation, Saito went over to his girlfriend.

"Louise?" He asked, noticing she was awfully quiet. Getting worried, he gave her shoulder a firm shake to no result. Getting in front of her, he saw she had a haunted look on her face, not staring at anything in particular in the sky.

"Louise what's wrong?" Saito asked a little more desperately, grabbing her shoulders and getting more forceful with his shaking to no avail. Before things could get worse, Tiffiana stepped forward and after moving Saito out of the way, gave a good slap to Louise's face, knocking her out of her stupor.

"FUCK ME!" Louise shouted at the top of her lungs, scaring everything in a few hundred meter radius as she pointed at the sky before falling to the ground in despair.

"SHIT! PISS! FUCK! MOTHERFUCKER! TIT! SHIT! FUCK!" she cursed rapidly, rolling around and clearly having a mental breakdown after seeing what was in the sky. Everyone looked up and everyone felt a pit form in their stomachs. Tiffiana's ears drooped in sadness as she began hyperventilating, Futaba couldn't help but faint. Ren and Saito were the only ones who had some semblance of stability at what they saw.

As right up in the night sky were two moons.

AN: and that's all she wrote. A reverse summon where Louise becomes a Phantom Thief, and eventually, she and the other Thieves end up back in her homeland somehow. Reverse Summons I find are way more interesting, because if you don't, you're just rehashing Canon 99% of the time

Now, I'm going to clarify, this WILL be a one shot for two reasons. One, I can't afford to add another story to worry about under my belt. Two, I have nowhere near enough Familiar of Zero knowledge beyond a few tidbits to do anything well. If for some unfathomable reason I do more, this would be done until the inevitable fight with Guiche.

Hence why I'm making this a challenge.

Louise and Saito being a couple (who already had sex), Louise and Tiffiana somehow ending up on Earth, amnesia, the trios weapons/Persona's, etc. It's all stuff that would've been included in my version. Keep these bits or not, your call.

Things that would've been included: Saito, Tiffiana and Louise joined in the beginning (Kamoshida/Madarame), middle(Futaba, Kaneshiro) and near the end (Sae/Okumura) and helped fight the two end bosses of Vanilla and Royal

Obviously takes place in Strikers with Violet and Crow. I like those two so why not and Sophia is too cute not to include her

And other miscellaneous details

I like to keep things relatively open and free with this type of stuff, as my main goal with these is to get the core idea out there and let others go nuts. As you can tell by most of my stories, most if not all of them are unique as hell. Anyway, onto the suggestions. Now, you don't have to follow these, hell do what you want, but I'm putting them here because I find it'll make for some interesting aspects.

-the stuff I've written down already for this one shot. Characters used, their weapons/Persona's, relationships, how they act, Louise's items, etc. You can't deny Louise with a Chainsaw, Mini-Gun and RPG/Staff of Destruction isn't badass

-Tiffiana (if she's a Thief) cures Cattleya of her condition right away

-Louise gets a body upgrade. Don't have to make her look like Kirche but definitely give her some curves

-In the possibility of the writer going the harem route, obviously for Saito, Kirche is in the harem, even with Louise involved. I've yet to see one harem where she's actually in it, it's time for a change. And I do mean actually harem/polyamory. A bunch of girls competing for the guy's attention and he only chooses one isn't a harem.

-if Joker gets a harem, it's with Ann, Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Sumire, etc.

-various characters like Siesta (especially her), Tabitha, Kirche, Henrietta, etc also get Persona's. What they are, who cares, although using beings from our world would be easier, as well as new Arcana's

-Joker is still the leader despite being in a new world, and has access to the Velvet Room and Lavenza

-Joker defeats Karin with relative ease. The man fought two gods/God like beings, he's fine. He also has a connection to the Velvet Room, Lavenza as well as a good stock of Persona's

-no Derflinger with the team. I'm sorry but I genuinely feel his inclusion is forced a lot of times and I feel this would be another case. Like I get it, he's the 'Mascot' of the series but there's times and places where he makes sense

Only two suggestions I strongly urge to the point of requirement are Louise, Saito and Tiffiana(?) are Thieves from base game/Royal, and thus fight you know who, and Louise doesn't summon or bind a familiar. After being brainwashed many times and fighting against two gods taking away free will, it would be beyond hypocritical of her to do so to another creature. Obviously she doesn't know she's a void mage and would summon a human.

I'll say it again, these are all optional things to include. Do whatever you want at the end of the day. And for those wanting it, here's the character chart as it were for the trio

Louise/Demo: Heretic- Joan of Arc

Chainsaw

Warhammer

RPG

Mini-Gun

A focus on pure destruction, she has no element, instead relying purely on gun and physical skills and attacks. With the lowest fighter HP and SP, she makes up for it with the highest physical damage of the team, tied only with Ryuji. Pure glass cannon. NEEDS a support to heal her and the like. Has Doom Slayer type playstyle. Warhammer and Mini-Gun for general attacking, Chainsaw and RPG for big damage and replenish ammo

Saito/Oni: Conquest- Oda Nobunaga

Naginata

Sniper Rifle

As opposed to his girlfriend, he has some of the weakest physical attacks and is only good for chipping away at single targets alongside some weak AOE, and the occasional high damage on a single target. To make up for it, he has high SP and is loaded to hell with buff skills and one single target healing skill. Specializes in being a general nuisance and allowing Demo to deal the damage effectively

Tiffiana/Ranger: Charity- Artemis

Dual Knives

Bow

The middle ground of the trio, Tiffa has more close range damage over Saito yet less far range damage on a single target. With moderate HP and SP, she has a myriad of debuff skills and healing skills. Prefers to hang back and pick off stragglers from range, and in close range, stab Shadows in the back
