The Phantom Thieves were on their way to Mementos per their earlier agreement, gathering at the station...
''So I had a look at the data...'' Everyone's attention turned to Futaba. ''...there's a whole lot of stuff. There's all sorts of details over the last two years. But since it's so big, it'll take me some time to analyze the whole thing. I'll probably be done by the time you guys get back from Hawaii, though.''
''I see...so what can you tell us about it?'' Makoto was curious about what information her sister had in store, an overview would do just fine for now.
''Well, it's actually kind of impressive. Your sister's work sure is comprehensive. It all proved that the mental shutdowns and psychotic breakdowns are not only connected but they're also done by the same person. She's even got a compilation of all sorts of related info and a list of all the incidents.''
''Heeh, that really is something.'' Morgana blinked. ''It sounds like this can really help us out.''
Futaba hummed in agreement ''I'll get busy to figure it all out so leave it to me. I expect presents when you get back.''
''That's a given, you dork.'' Ann smiled and Namine nodded, making the hacker beam in response.
Morgana sighed, still hating that he was going to be left behind. Though this made him remember something ''Hold on, about that...what're you going to do, Makoto? Isn't it a trip for second years?''
The girl blinked ''Oh, I forgot to explain-I'll be coming as well. It was decided yesterday, they don't have enough chaperones with all that's going on in school so the third year students have been slated to fill in instead.''
''Wait, for real?'' Ryuji blurted.
Makoto gave him a look ''Do you have a problem?''
''N-no, not at all, Ma'am!''
''Is something going on in your school?'' Yusuke wanted to know.
''I think it's just that they're still dealing with all the gossip over Shujin ever since the truth about Kamoshida became clear.'' Makoto offered.
''It doesn't help that the principal just kept pretending everything was all right and buried his head in the sand.'' Ann huffed.
''Yeah, I never understood that.'' Futaba admitted. ''Talk about lying through your teeth, or is he that delusional?''
''Probably a bit of both.'' Morgana offered.
Even when it turned out students were getting tricked into serving Kaneshiro, he hadn't cared. That was still upsetting. Heck, his entire focus was on figuring out who the Phantom Thieves were and even then, he had just forced Makoto to do something instead. To make matters worse, he had sunk so low as to threaten her chances to enter a good college...
''Anywho, you're going to L.A, right, Inari? Make sure you take lots of pictures!'' Futaba finished.
The artist had no problem with the demand ''Of course. That was my intention.''
Namine smiled ''Well, since we got this chance, let's keep trying to make the most of it.''
''Yeah!'' Ann agreed.
''Sounds good.'' Ryuji nodded. ''So hey, what're you going to do, Morgana? You staying with Boss? With how Futaba sometimes treats you like a stuffed doll...''
''That was the plan.'' The cat tuned out Futaba's protest.
''I'm not that bad...'' Ryuji rolled his eyes at her pout before he proceeded to activate the Nav.
It wasn't long before they ran into a few shadows, two Anzu and two Lamia. As everyone prepared to fight, Panther smirked ''I'll start us off. Persona!''
Then, to everyone's surprise, instead of Carmen, a new figure came out of the blue flames. It was also a woman but this one was taller than Carmen. Clad in black and red, the new persona had curved horns with three pairs of eyes and a flowing cape. She held two dogs in chains.
Fox's eyes widened ''Is that...?''
Panther's smirk widened ''I knew it! Come on, Hecate, Maragion!''
The new persona waved a hand and in a second, four towers of fire hit the shadows at once. It eliminated one of the Lamia at once while leaving the other dazed, something Queen took advantage to run it over with Johanna. Mona knocked one of the Anzu out of the air with the help of his slingshot, leaving Joker and Skull to take it down.
On Panther's command, Hecate created a large fireball which she hurled at the last shadow, finishing it off.
''Panther, that was great!'' Oracle had only heard of the persona evolution before so seeing this was really something. ''So you got one of those Ultimate Personas too?''
''Yup!'' She smiled. ''What Skull told me about Seiten Taisei had me wondering-and yesterday, it felt like something really changed with me.''
''If all what you've been doing recently isn't enough to show, that was the visual proof. Well done.'' Queen praised.
Joker smiled ''Yeah, way to go, that's excellent news.''
''Indeed, that was an impressive showing.'' Fox added.
Skull was smirking ''Totally! So how's it feel?''
''You pegged it, this feels amazing. I'm not sure if I've grown all that much but it really feels like I've come a long way.''
Joker saw it differently ''Even if we may not notice, we've all changed and grown during over time. It's really hard for that not to happen, given our experiences. Look at it this way, would you have seen yourself pulling all the stuff you did off before we all became friends, Panther?''
''When you put it like that...no.'' The model began to laugh. ''I guess it just goes to show...we really have come a long way since the team first got together, huh?''
''Yeah, I mean look at you, you've really grown strong and became a much more amazing model now. You even settled your feelings with all the trouble in school and helped Shiho do the same. And Skull worked hard to help the track team, even with how they treated him. He made sure to do what's best for everyone in the end, hard as it may have been That definitely shows how you two have grown, and how strong your hearts are now.''
Gratitude surged within the blonds towards their leader. Both unknowingly had the same thought that they may not have made it that far without their leader's support.
Queen inclined her head ''I agree. Even if they may be small, we're all working hard to keep moving forward. That effort will surely off in the end.''
''Heck yeah, and we'll just keep going!'' Skull cheered.
Fox nodded, pleased ''I like the sound of that.''
''Me too!'' Oracle chirped.
Joker smiled, glad to see the happy mood with them.
But that didn't go for everyone...
''Growing stronger, huh?''
She blinked, finding a melancholy Mona standing a short distance away. ''Yeah, all of them changed so much...I wonder where that leaves me. After all, I'm still...''
Joker's brow furrowed-what was going on with him? ''Mona...?''
The feline almost jumped, apparently not realizing anyone heard him ''Oh, ah...just thinking aloud. Forget you heard that!''
Mona hurried on before the girl could stop him, urging the others to go on and avoiding her gaze. He had been acting a little strange lately, but perhaps what troubled him wasn't just the trip like it appeared.
As she walked to the newly appeared van, Joker made a note to try and check up on him and talk things later. While she knew perfectly well that Mona tended to keep things to himself, perhaps she might be able to help somehow...
The group fought more shadows and kept going through the tunnels, eventually reaching the newly opened area. Oracle had scanned the area and found that their target was in a part not too far away.
First, they arrived at one of the floors that had no Shadows, pausing for a little break.
Their current target was an apparently bitter actress named Murasame Hinoka. She had been having trouble finding a gig, having been dismissed or passed over a few times in succession. She had come across a director she worked with in the past and decided to threaten him into hiring her, or else she would make their lives hell. Hinoka had taken to proving her threat real on a member of the director's crew that had tried to stop her. But she had been discreet and apparently she had a lot of connections, so they couldn't pin anything on her.
No one was quite sure who sent in the request on the Phan-Site but either way, it didn't matter. They were clearly desperate to do end all this for good.
Thinking along those lines had Oracle wondering ''Say, I was wondering, you guys changed the hearts of people like that Kamoshida and that Kaneshiro...what about people like the creep who got Joker arrested?''
''We did consider that...'' Mona missed Joker faltering at this.
So did Skull ''Except Joker can't remember who it is.''
''About that...'' The two looked at Joker in surprise.
Similarly thrown, Queen noted her tone ''Wait, Joker don't tell me...''
''...you remembered?! When?'' Skull demanded.
''Over a week ago, actually.''
''Why didn't you tell us before?''
''I mean to...it's just-I was pretty confused before...''
But Mona had a feeling he knew why ''Wait a second, that's what happened to you that night, isn't it? That's why you almost blacked out!''
Joker nodded and the transformed thief filled the others in. Panther nodded in understanding ''Oh, so it was right after Suwabe's psychotic breakdown. Yeah, I'd be pretty distracted too if it were me. A whole bunch of stuff happened since.''
''Yeah...I actually saw him before and I had no idea...'' Joker rubbed her arm ''...something about him always rubbed wrong. What happened after we left the Wilton Hotel, it almost brought the memory back. I guess...remembering all that was even harder than I imagined. But I get why now, I've seen him before. It's Masayoshi Shido.''
Queen's eyes widened ''Wait, you mean that Diet party member everyone's been talking about lately?''
''Hey, we saw the guy back then...he was the one leading that bunch of snobs!'' Skull recalled.
''Yeah and looking back, I remember Joker freezing up back then...'' Panther trailed off, looking just as alarmed.
''So you recognized his voice then?'' Fox clarified.
''Mm, but I couldn't be sure...it just sort of hit me that night.''
Oracle's jaw set, well there was only one thing to do ''Well then, I'll see what I can dig up about this guy.''
''This is certainly something we should see about.'' Queen crossed her arms. ''The news say he's an outstanding member of society but we know enough to doubt such a thing now.''
''Yeah, that's the same kind of crap they said about people like Madarame and look what he was really like.'' Skull agreed.
Panther nodded ''We're not letting things stand like this.''
''You said it!'' Her fellow blond added.
''Well, looks like we might have found a possible target.'' Mona smirked.
Fox half-smiled at Joker's surprised look ''Come now, you know us this well. Did you really expect a different reaction, Joker?''
This matter would definitely earned their unanimous agreement. Joker was not just their leader but she was a dear friend to them all. Shido would not get away with hurting her, not a chance.
She began to smile, feeling touched that they all rallied on her behalf ''...Yeah, I should've known...''
The thieves approached the gate and were warped to the target's chamber...
The first clear thing about Shadow Hinoka was that she seemed angry. Her stance proved to be terse and she appeared to be trying to brace herself for anything.
Panther's eyes narrowed ''So that's our target...''
''A washed up actress who likes forcing herself on people to get her way, it's ridiculous...'' Mona scoffed.
''Yes, she has no right to threaten or endanger those poor people simply for trying to do their job.'' Queen scowled.
''She already got one of them real hurt, if this keeps up, there's no telling what would happen.'' Skull stated.
Queen's fists clenched ''Then let's go.''
''They can't find out...they won't! I'm taking my chance and I won't let those bastards stop me. No one will find out!'' The Shadow looked up as they walked closer. ''Y-you're...''
''I think someone may have a guilty conscience.'' Panther stated flatly.
Shadow Hinoka bristled ''Sh-shut up! What do you know? I'm so damn tired of being passed up and ignored, well, I won't have it anymore! What's wrong with taking my chance?!''
''You could have kept working and tried to improve, to see what was holding you back. Not this!'' Queen retorted.
''Yeah, you're just running away from the problem. This won't solve a thing, not really.'' Joker added.
''You're all wrong! Things are finally going my way after so long! And I'll make sure they stay that way!''
''Oh, get over yourself! You're like a kid throwing a temper tantrum!'' Skull snapped.
''Shut up!'' The Shadow growled. ''You're all just here because that idiot of a director and his buddies decided to defy me-I won't allow it! Those fools don't know talent when they see it. I'll make them all pay for this!''
''Yeah? Well, you're gonna have to get through all of us first!'' The blond taunted.
''That's the plan!'' In a moment, the shadow transformed into a big Garuda, which let out a powerful cry as it swooped into to strike.
Oracle, who had stayed a fair distance back, immediately began to analyze the enemy while seeing how her friends got out of its way. The Garuda flapped its wings, creating a strong gale as it cast wind magic on all the group. Since Fox had been too close, it almost threw him off but he managed to regain his balance and halt it with a wall of ice that blocked the rising gales.
Skull and Panther went on the offensive, with the latter trying to nail the shadow with her gun but it flew off. It still worked as distraction, as Skull was able to have Seiten Taisei ram the shadow with a few Swift Strikes.
''That thing's strong against physical strikes, ice and curse magic but everything is else is fine!'' Oracle informed.
''In that case-Johanna!'' Queen summoned her persona to blast it with a nuclear spell, only for it to fly high just before she could finish.
Joker aimed her gun well before firing, at first, the Shadow seemed to avoid the oncoming bullets but she was left unprepared when Joker quickly adjusted her weapon and fired again. This time it was a direct hit, almost knocking the shadow out of the air. Fox cast Masukakaja to boost their speed, but then the Shadow was surroudned in a blue aura as it stored power before casting Magarula.
The powered up spell almost threw those closest to the shadow back, allowing her a chance to strike. Queen acted in a moment ''Johanna, Freila!''
The Garuda tried to fly away but then the spell exploded, leaving her to be hit by the shockwaves. Panther summoned Hecate and had her blast their enemy with an Agilao spell next, knocking it back and giving Fox the chance to finish it off with a few bullets.
In a moment, their enemy turned back to the human form, now downtrodden...
''I didn't know what to do...'' She admitted. ''...I lost money in a bad deal and then there was that horrible date...It's just like things kept going worse and worse. I couldn't take anymore! What could have I done?''
''Anything, you were just limiting yourself because you thought you had to do this. I don't know how you got out scot-free after you got that crew member so hurt but don't you see how those actions could have made things even worse for you?'' Fox crossed his arms.
''Was it worth it?'' Mona demanded.
The Shadow sighed ''...No...no, it wasn't...''
''You easily pulled out of any trouble with your status and connections-you could have used such means to find the problem costing you those acting gigs. But you just went so far to avoid this. Taking the easy way is never the answer.'' Queen stated.
''Yeah, I know...I'll do something about it. No more-I'll make it up to them all.'' With that, the Shadow faded into light.
Makoto spoke up once they were walking down a street ''We decided our stance on the matter of Shido but Namine, what do you think of all this? If we do find ourselves targeting him...''
''I'm with you all. Not to target him, this sterling image of his doesn't fit what I've seen firsthand. I want to find out more...but I'm a little lost, part of me doesn't see the point in having him confess to the truth about that night and another part wants to get back at him.'' Even as she spoke, it was plain that she was uncomfortable with her confession.
''I think that's natural though, anyone would want to get back at someone who wronged them.'' Makoto thought it was good that it was she was looking at this from different angles. She wasn't sure she would've had it in her to do the same.
''Yeah, I say the bastard has it coming, he practically ruined her life.'' Ryuji scowled. Needless to say, it irked them all that the man got away with it, leaving Namine to suffer. And given her record as well as the man's reputation, the odds of the police believing her if she told the truth were slim to none.
Namine wasn't sure why she felt this way. Maybe because she didn't feel that using their powers simply for personal gain was right? It hadn't been something she'd really thought about until recently, given all that happened around the same time. ''Well, we still have to go about this carefully, we always take our work seriously.''
''Well said.'' Morgana nodded approvingly. ''We do need to learn more about him to find out if he has a Palace anyway, so let's do this the right way.''
Yusuke decided to move things along ''By the way, I wasn't quite certain about what you all said regarding my art but I did try to take your advice. It wasn't until then that I realized how much stress I've had piled on me. I've tried to focus on other things, like getting used to my part-time job.''
''Really? Good for you! How's that going?'' Ann wanted to know.
''Oh quite well, I'm busy but I'm managing it all. I was even able to use my payment to buy a few excellent art supplies. It may have cost me all the money, but they were of excellent quality.''
Ryuji held back a groan, the rest just as exasperated ''Dammit, Yusuke...''
''You have to be careful with your money.'' Makoto chided.
''But I needed those supplies...''
''That's not the point!''
''Somethings never change, I guess.'' Namine muttered.
''I'll say. It's like three steps forward, two back with him or something...'' Ann grumbled.
''You really are an airhead, Inari.'' Futaba deadpanned, ignoring his annoyed look in return.
Namine exhaled ''Well, progress is progrees, right?''
''Yes, I think that's the best that can be said here.'' Makoto stated.
Thus, with the agreement to continue after most of the group returned from their trips, everyone went on their ways home.
Namine made sure to ask Sojiro to take care of Morgana while she was gone, only to be relieved when he assured that it wouldn't be a problem.
''Oh yeah, Futaba said something about that new laptop of yours. She's had her fun trying it out, sounds like she's gotten you a couple of programs which she thinks will be good.''
Namine was curious, Futaba's security program on their phones had actually provided a measure of relief for everyone as they all agreed it was a great idea. What did she have in mind now?
''Thanks Boss, I think I'll talk to her about this.''
As it so happened, the girl in question was up in the attic with Morgana, working with Namine's laptop. ''Man, this thing's got some nice specs...''
''Someone's real fired up...'' Morgana turned slightly at the sound of footsteps in time to see Namine walking in. ''...oh, hey, Futaba's been busy again. I'm not sure about the technical talk she used but I think she got a program like the one that let us talk to your grandparents before.''
''Really?'' Namine tilted her head. Well, she had been meaning to send them an email but this sounded like something worth a try. ''Can we test this out, Futaba?''
''Sure!''
The three sat on the bed and fired the program. While at first, it didn't seem to work, all doubts were dispelled when the screen suddenly changed to display Yuri and Itsuki, both sitting in a room as well, with the latter having a laptop near him. His face lit up as he took in the new sight and they quickly exchanged greetings.
Itsuki looked at Futaba ''Oh, I'm guessing this is Futaba-chan?''
Namine blinked ''Grandpa, did Boss tell you...?''
''Sure did. We made sure to get all the details, you can guess how happy we were with him when it all became clear.'' He stated. ''We knew he was hiding something with how he started acting strange but the idiot just kept brushing us off. That's why I'm happy to say I let him have it.''
''Somehow that doesn't surprise me...''
Yuri held back a laugh at the comment ''And how are you, Futaba-chan?''
''A-ah, I'm fine, Ma'am...'' Futaba trailed off. She was still trying to deal with her anxiety but it also meant she was still bad with new people. Something she hoped to change down the line.
Yuri smiled warmly ''Oh, none of that now.'' That expression really reminded her of Namine. ''You really are cute. We would have loved to get to know you before but there's no reason we can't start now.''
''Absolutely.'' Itsuki agreed.
''Just take it easy, those two really are good people.'' Morgana offered.
''Sojiro was telling us how you're a genius just like your mom.'' Itsuki recalled.
''W-what?'' Futaba's face grew warm. ''Now that's definitely too much! I mean, sure I wanna be like her but still...''
''Then there's no reason you can't be! Shouldn't the fact that you learned so much from her already be a nice starting point?''
''Oh...well, I guess...but I still keep freezing up around people...''
''It's okay.'' Namine spoke up when she went quiet. ''We're going to figure out a way to help with your anxiety. But it still doesn't make him any less right, what you've shown us so far says a lot.''
''Hey, you're trying, aren't you? I think that's pretty good on its own.'' Morgana admitted.
Futaba began to smile at the reassuring words, noticing Yuri turn to her granddaughter ''Speaking of, we heard how you handled things too, Nami-chan. That was very kind of you.'' She was especially pleased with the fact that their granddaughter didn't let her experiences get to her and remained true to herself.
''Aw, thanks! I just did what I thought was right, I kind of figured you guys would've done it too.''
''Got that right, kiddo.'' Itsuki concurred immediately ''Though I wouldn't have been nearly as nice, seeing as I wanted to kick Sojiro's butt into gear.'' He knew that the situation was complicated but Sojiro really wasn't helping with the way he handled things, he wound up enabling Futaba's troubling habits.
The three thieves couldn't help but laugh at his comment, making him grin while Yuri shook her head in exasperation.
Snickering, Futaba noticed an odd looking statue on the table near the couple ''Say, what's that?''
''Oh, a little something we came across today. It's quite the amusing story...''
They kept chatting for a short while and Futaba relaxed, she was really seeing what Sojiro and her friends liked about them, they were not only nice but fun and lively.
''So your trip starts the day after tomorrow? That's great!'' Itsuki exclaimed. ''Be sure to let us know how it goes.''
''Of course.'' The girl faltered, remembering her talk with the others earlier.
She was generally open with her grandparents, feeling like she could always count on them. They had more than proven her faith to be well-founded, especially in the recent months. The girl had hesitated on telling them the truth about that night but it really wasn't fair to them.
Yuri raised an eye at the change in her granddaughter's expression ''Nami-chan?''
The girl let out a breath ''...There's something you should know.''
Yuri and Itsuki were just as surprised as the others were by the information she gave. Though surprise quickly gave to anger and disgust as they realized just how much Shido's machinations cost their granddaughter.
''That lousy, no-good bastard...'' Itsuki harrumphed. ''...he's even worse than what I imagined.''
Now that left Futaba curious ''What do you mean?''
''Let's just say we happened to pick up on a few rumors here and there before we moved.'' Yuri offered. ''But let's talk about that another time. Nami-chan, what exactly did you do about this discovery?''
''Well...that's kind of what I was going to ask. If you have any idea on what I could do. I just talked to you guys and my friends before.'' She admitted. ''I really wasn't sure what I could do for a while...it just felt wrong to keep this from you two. I know it's something that needs to be handled with care.''
''That's good, and thank you for letting us know.'' Yuri returned, seeming thoughtful. ''I wish I could give you some advice but we need a little time to think this over.''
Itsuki nodded ''As good as it would be for him to have to come clean, he's got too much power. I really would like to hurt him for this but you make sure to keep a calm head, Namine. It's a good thing you've got temper like your grandma's and not mine's.''
''Well, it's not like having him pay would help, would it?'' She shook her head. ''Whatever happens after that...there's really no going back.''
Namine bit her lip before continuing ''...I'm sorry...'' They looked at her in surprise as she went on. ''...I don't know if I can look past the things they've said and done after that night. Especially Mom and Dad...''
She imagined how this would be hard on them, given that it involved their own child but at this point, she really didn't want to see her parents again. She knew that this was also the reason she was still torn about the revenge issue, even if the truth came out, it wouldn't erase what happened. She could never look at her parents, her old friends or her old home the same way again.
''Don't you dare go thinking you have to apologize for that, young lady.'' Itsuki fired back sternly. ''They made their beds and they have to lie in them. While I wish things would be different, that's all there is to it. We've had our own spats and we were suspecting that our paths wouldn't be the same for long. Bottom line is, the way they treated you isn't something we can condone, ever.''
Namine wanted to ask what he meant but Yuri took over ''That's right.'' Their family may have been divided over the matter but their stance on this was firm. There had been signs of recent tenswere really disappointed in Namine's mother and father. The fact that they still believed themselves right really irked her.
''The son we raised should know better than to turn on his own family for one thing. The same goes for the daughter we let in our family. They failed you, Nami-chan, you shouldn't ever feel responsible for what happened back then. We don't regret standing by you and we never will.''
Her granddaughter couldn't help smiling at this ''...That means more than you know.''
Futaba grinned ''Wow, you were right, Namine. They're awesome!''
The girl smiled as the couple laughed . Futaba looked at them ''So we were thinking, if we could find some info about that creep, we could post a request on the Phan-Site. The Phantom Thieves could take him on!''
Itsuki looked surprised ''The Phantom Thieves, huh? That idea does have merit...''
Namine blinked ''Come to think of it, I never got around to asking. Grandpa, Grandma, do you believe in the Phantom Thieves?''
''Sure, kiddo! Just look at all they've done now.'' The first returned.
Yuri nodded to her husband's words ''People can rag on them all they want but the fact is, they wouldn't have nearly been as succesful if they hadn't been necessary.''
''If anything, what happened to you, and all the things they unveiled just proved to us that they are trying to do some good out there. The system's corrupt and not everyone has the strength to stand against it. But instead of doing something about it, people bury their heads in the sand. That's why I think the thieves are actually impressive.'' Itsuki added.
''Doing the right thing may not be easy at times but that's no reason to shy away from it. People with courage and conviction to stand up for what's right are rare, while they may not follow the best means, I can accept that their hearts are in the right place. They've certainly helped a lot of people, that shouldn't be ignored.'' Yuri stated. Both unknowingly made the three present thieves happier with those declarations.
''So they do understand...that's nice to hear.'' Morgana purred.
''We feel the same way.'' Namine assured.
''Yeah!'' Futaba chipped in. ''I know we can count on them.''
They kept talking for a little while longer before deciding to turn in for the night, all looking to rest well after a busy day.
And that's that!
There's another reason Namine isn't quite comfortable with the idea of revenge, but it's something that happened in the past so she hasn't realized it yet. I'm going to expand on that later, but she's mostly just focused on keeping the thieves' work for the right reasons. I also wanted to get a chance to have Futaba meet Yuri and Itsuki. I can't be sure if I mentioned this before, but when their trip's over, they're actually going to move back to the city and not their old home. They're pretty disllusioned with the people there too, another reason they want to look out for Namine.
Anywho, another chapter done and just before the end of this year. We've had a good run even with my own concerns about this story (mostly because I never played the game) but I'm enjoying myself while working on this so I hope you're all enjoying it too. Thanks for reading.
Hope you have a happy new year!
