Persona 5 Royal: tmdrago Special Edition
By Tayla Drago
Episode #25 - Toranosuke Yoshida
And so, both Morgana and Keiko go see how the night time was in Shibuya – Underground Walkway first to get another part time job somewhere in Shibuya itself, and then going to Shibuya – Station Square area first with the two hanging around to see Yoshi to be doing well on his speeches to 'slowly' getting people's attentions to get out more for them to listen on how it was going so far.
Keiko: Look, Morgana, the man we saw who gives out speeches.
He seems to be doing well from the looks of it...
Yoshi: ...There have been too many incidents recently to ignore! Can anyone deny this?! The runaway-train incident, mysterious psychotic breakdowns, a school with corrupted teachers...We have yet to discover the truth at all! The apathy that permeates society is a direct result of negligence by our government and the media.
A good speech to be so true for Keiko to like Yoshi's words, even for him to see her again.
Yoshi: ...You there, young lady, you're listening quite attentively. Are you interested in politics?
Hard to say for some people nowadays can be a problem.
Keiko: In some ways to change things maybe. I'm Keiko Amamiya by the way, sir, your speech is well done.
Yoshi: I see...And my name is Toranosuke Yoshida. By any chance you're a high-school student?
Keiko: I am. And if it's alright if I call you "Yoshi"?
Yoshi: By all means. I'm delighted to captivate the interest of someone your age.
Keiko: Really?
Was Yoshi asking for Keiko's help since his words were right to spread a lot more for people to learn about something?
Yoshi: ...Hmm, I could use the help of a young person, but I can't hire someone without any experience. I'm sorry about that. However, I'd be happy if you stopped by to hear one of my speeches again...After your words are going well to give me good advice, I want to do more. Well then, that's all for today. I'm heading to the Beef Bowl Shop...Goodbye, Keiko.
Once he leaves 'to have something following him to be another Shadow on Yoshi', Keiko wanted to hear more from his words and for Morgana to see where this was going.
Morgana: Eating at the Beef Bowl Shop, huh? Pretty humble preferences for a politician. That guy seemed to want some help...
Keiko: That he does...
Morgana: He isn't very popular, but his speech-giving skills might be helpful in the Metaverse.
Then Morgana had an idea to tell Keiko what she could do for Yoshi's sake.
Morgana: Hey, Madame Keiko, you should work part-time at the Beef Bowl Shop. If he sees you working hard, maybe he'll let you help him.
I think that's an idea for Keiko to go check out and for Morgana to see.
Keiko: Yeah, let's go do it. (For Yoshi's sake.)
Morgana: Let's go over there right now.
On the way there, something was going to happen to Yoshi for he was the next target from another Shadow to do something to him for Keiko and Morgana to feel it nearby. They have to hurry to help him out.
Keiko: (Not now...!) I sense a Shadow!
Morgana: Then it must be near this Shibuya area, let's go find it first before we head to the Beef Bowl Shop once we save someone's life.
And they go do just that. I guess for team work for the Phantom Thieves to grow more and more and help out others like Yoshi as Morgana and Keiko always get the job done along with Ann and Ryuji too. While out of the portal comes out both Sith and Orobas causing another issue of Yoshi's Shadow might be taken over his body…Where that happens, they needed some human energy to get their own tasks done 'namely Cait Sith's the most'.
Sith: Ah….Another Shadow, being another human's energy we need to collect. Orobas, I need you to back me up on this one…without eating random grasses…
He almost did to stop in the nick of time.
Orobas: Oh! Right! Already ate! I think I saw the Shadow head to this direction of other stores and food stands….This way!
Jumping on top of Orobas' head, Sith goes running off first for Orobas to also be a fast runner catches up from behind.
Sith: Good eyes. Now follow me!
Orobas: Hey…Sith! Slow down!
With them watching from afar and catching up…For Keiko and Morgana, it's good to stop some Shadows to save the lives of others. Well, it has to be Yoshi who was the next target for Keiko and Morgana saw him to find the man nearby the Beef Bowl Shop to check out right away if he's not affected yet and to still be ready to take action for the two Phantom Thieves to be ready. For Yoshi wants for his words to come out of the good politicians instead of the bad for the Shadow will force to make a big change, even if it means getting some attention the wrong way.
Morgana: It went this way, Madame Keiko! Don't lose sight of it!
Keiko: I won't, Morgana! If Yoshi's next, then it might get himself and others hurt from this Shadow to run loose in the real world!
Morgana: It won't hurt anyone else unless we trap it in the Metaverse for this man wants to be heard for the Shadow to make it happen to be ten times worse instead. Don't worry, we'll get it.
And they do to see Yoshi was about to go eat to look so upset, only for the Shadow to take over who only wants the word to be heard from his mouth for this one to be called Mokoi.
Tayla: Persona #24 - Mokoi
In Australian folklore, Mokoi are spirits of evil who kill those who use dark magic. They would also kidnap and eat children at night.
Mokoi: I want everyone to know...I want the whole world to listen to me, no matter how loud I am or how I do it! I will not be ignored like this!
Trying to cause trouble around a small area in town, Keiko and Morgana arrive to trap Mokoi in the Metaverse to try saving everyone and they needed to save Yoshi next from his distorted heart before it was too late.
Keiko: We got it! Good, now it's time to transform...Suit up! Code name – Joker!
Keiko and Morgana both transformed.
Morgana: I told you so. Suit up! Code name – Mona!
With them in a different world for people in Yoshi's mind of the Metaverse sees people cheering on the speech for Mokoi to be talking so weirdly and hates to be interrupted from them to put an end to it all. For a small type of clay-like Shadow, he was all talk but it wasn't dumb at all to fight back.
Mokoi: Hey! You two are ruining my speech! Don't do that!
Morgana: You have no right making people forced to listen to anything they don't want to hear or see! If they want to, then you'll see lots of crowds to get their attention. But not like this!
Just then, a type of powerful shock waves came flying out really fast by Mokoi's doing.
Keiko: Mona!
But Keiko/Joker warns Morgana/Mona to move away from the blast to hit others to go down and destroy some of the things, he had sonic wave type of attacks to really pack a punch.
Morgana: Wow! Did this Shadow try to attack us with air?!
It would seem like it.
Mokoi: That's just one of my moves to do. None of you can touch me if I shout really loud to get some attention. So listen hard and well!
The Shadow does it again for Morgana and Keiko had to use their attacks won't lay a finger on this thing, to at least keep on trying.
Morgana: Furious Fangs!
It was destroyed from the sound waves.
Keiko: It's not working! Mona, I need you to get something to push this power back while I try to distract the Shadow! Can you do that for me?
A plan to be done for Morgana moves around the other areas of the place and the fake people to help Keiko while she backs him up.
Morgana: I'll see what I can do! Go, Joker!
There goes Morgana, he was fast to do something else where, while Keiko uses her speed 'from one of her Personas' to keep Mokoi busy to try using her attacks on the Shadow next.
Keiko: Eat this! Daggers of Darkness!
From dagger throwing and sound wave blast to keep going on and on, to move around and keep on firing for the distraction to be working.
Mokoi: This again? You're wasting your time! Now hear me out or get your body pushed back!
It would've worked, but...Morgana jumps in to cover up Mokoi's entire mouth just in time before firing another blast at Keiko.
Morgana: Don't hold your breath...Because I am.
He's got it! To let him breathe in so much air to make him blow up into a huge balloon to explode if he holds it in from Morgana for any longer.
Keiko: Surrender or prepare to die.
With the Shadow moving its little arms around, Mokoi gives up to say it while his mouth is covered up.
Mokoi: I give! Just don't let me blow up!
For the two to see the works for the Shadow to keep his promise, Morgana releases Mokoi's mouth to let all the air out slowly to go back to normal. Tired with a throat sore, the two have done it.
Morgana: That should keep his big mouth shut from hurting others.
It was there the Shadow had his reason for having Yoshi's desires to be messed with.
Mokoi: I'm sorry...I was only trying to get more attention for others to notice me, his words could've changed everything. Using my attacks is one thing, but you have to believe in me, it was the only way I could get any attention.
Keiko: And how does it feel when you do it? Good? Because it hurts others to be annoyed who are not interested. And doing so won't let you have others like you or get a lot of attention. It's not that fun.
True – being popular to do selfish things won't work out at all.
Mokoi: It doesn't...? Then what does?
Morgana: Just be yourself to let those do the rest alone. Trust me, someone who supports the man's speeches will do so. She's very good at it, right?
Morgana points it out to Keiko to do so.
Keiko: Yes, she will. If you want something to be well known for, it's your power. Why not help me out to use it for good. Your sound waves can help us out, and we can put in a good word for this person to tell the man to do what he must. You have our word and hers. (With this, I'll do what I can to aid Yoshi more than ever.)
For the Shadow to like it a lot, Mokoi places his trust in Keiko and the Phantom Thieves to be useful for them in battle.
Mokoi: Hmm...I never knew it was a wonder to let others know to try to do something if they decided to, I get it now. OK! I'll see what I can do.
Morgana: Here's another one to aid us, Joker, now do your part.
From there, Keiko uses her mask to turn this Shadow into a Persona to use for power.
Keiko: A wise decision there...Mokoi - Night-walking Warrior, I've commit thee to join!
From the darkness to leave Mokoi, he was now set free.
Mokoi: Hey, hey...I feel like I can do anything to do other things for people to hear from others to do something. Yeah...Thanks again! I am thou, thou art I. My name is Mokoi – who can create powerful sound waves to also hear things or living beings from far away too.
So much to gather in so little time for Morgana and Keiko to go back to reality to fix what was destroyed and everyone else were all unharmed, even for Yoshi to wake up from a deep sleep to see Joker and Mona leaving, for them to turn back and head on back home. But not before both Cait Sith and Orobas arrive too late to get a whiplash of the Phantom Thieves' powers of saving another human from their Shadow to be healed.
Sith: Mine….! Huh? (What's with this light?) Ouch!
Sends one Shadow flying out of the way, and so does the other one next to him.
Orobas: Sith…? What happened…? Yikes!
With those two out of it 'and sort of witness the rest', they make a quick retreat.
Sith: Ah…Retreat for now…
Off those two make their escape, leaving both Morgana and Keiko to do the same thing next as we haven't seen the last of Orobas and Cait Sith to come back later on for more trouble.
Morgana: He'll be okay, you did save him, Madame Keiko. I think we'll come back to the beef bowl area later.
Keiko: Okay. (Good, I'm glad he was saved.) We got some other things we need to buy; we'll try again later and aid Yoshi from the place when we can. Let's go back to Leblanc.
And they do, for Yoshi to finally eat to remember seeing the two who saved him and his desires to be normal again, for it wasn't a dream. Later, he learns a little more about the mysterious Phantom Thieves.
Yoshi: (Huh? Was that a dream just now? Who was the girl in black with the weird looking cat...? I feel like I was being hurt and then I was saved. Someone I know of, it all felt very weird. A sign for my speeches to be heard a lot more? I wonder...)
Something good will come around for the man to get his words heard in Shibuya with Keiko's help...For Keiko to go to the Underground Walkway of Shibuya to sign up to do a charity thing to work at a little at the Beef Bowl Shop to see Yoshi again real soon; as it'll be much better for her to wait until then. To arrive there, Keiko works to place stuff down for Morgana to watch her work very hard.
Morgana: Working hard again as always.
Keiko: I just enjoy doing these things to help out others.
And hopefully to be seeing Yoshi real soon 'while getting paid to do this on Keiko's end', but it'll happen soon enough.
Year 20xx
Day #29 – May 5/7th - Saturday
Keiko goes out again with Morgana tagging along from train rides to school for every six days a week 'sometimes' to be doing well in class from Kawa's classroom, seeming for the days to go by fast for the weekends to happen. As they meet up with Ryuji and Ann to have a good chat at the school's rooftop and talk about a target to find to stop a very bad person from the Phan-Site, but...nothing hasn't popped up for Ryuji to find anything from his phone.
Keiko: Did you get anything, Ryuji?
Ryuji: None of these posts are any good. Everyone's just bitchin' about their parents and their boyfriends. There ain't even a hint of a hint about a new Palace...
So in other words, they've found nothing so far.
Keiko: Ah, Ryuji...Please don't lean on the chair like that-!
Ryuji does fall and hurt himself, but he gets right back up.
Ryuji: Ouch...! Dammit!
Keiko: I tried to warn you.
Ann offers to help out Ryuji to get him to notice her more.
Ann: Anyways...We can't get everything online...Finding a post with a name and location is asking a lot...
Ryuji: Guess we just gotta find one ourselves then!
Giving that part all said and done - they have no other choice 'and Keiko told the other two on what happened yesterday and so did Morgana', they just have to find someone to do it from there rather than online posting.
Morgana: Are you seriously suggesting we look for a target that even the police have overlooked?
Keiko: We're sort of doing the cops a favor.
Ryuji: ...Yeah, you're right. We should prolly just hold off 'til exams are done with, huh? We can wait and see for a little longer, then worry about comin' up empty handed if it happens...
Just then, someone comes passing by too and sees the other four, for Morgana to hide by the side door.
Ann: Oh...
It was Makoto herself who had been seeing the three hanging out from the top of the school's roof top lately, to say so herself and talk to them about something.
Makoto: You guys should know this place is off limits here.
Ryuji: Its where we can chat sometimes...We're not staying there for long.
Keiko remembers bumping into Makoto earlier.
Keiko: Hey, you're the girl I ran into at school.
Makoto: Nice to meet you, new student girl. Call me Makoto Niijima.
The two shake hands.
Keiko: And I'm Keiko Amamiya.
Ann and Ryuji heard a lot about Makoto being the teacher's pet to not see her a lot, and keeping a secret about them being the Phantom Thieves. Ryuji stands by Keiko's side 'in case Makoto starts something bad', even Ann doesn't like her attitude so much.
Ryuji: Keiko, if you want to know more about Makoto Nijima, she's what you call a student body president to do so much in this school. Hard working, do a lot of projects, and is the teachers favorite one. Anyways, what's Miss Council President doing out here? And what do you want with us?
Ann: Sorry, Keiko, but people like her can be...hard to be around with.
Keiko didn't think so, for Morgana still didn't want for everyone else to know about their secrets.
Keiko: OK...? (Makoto's a bad person? Her...?)
As Makoto addresses the three on who they are to already know about both Ann and Ryuji.
Makoto: Let see...The troublemaker, the girl of the rumors, and the infamous transfer girl student all...Interesting combination.
She just said something to strike Ann's nerves in anger.
Ann: …! Great way to start a conversation...
Morgana was just hiding 'to get up or down at any time and easily for him' to see another student just like the other three.
Makoto: By the way...It seems as though you got to know Mr. Kamoshida pretty well, Keiko.
She doesn't know half of the whole truth.
Keiko: Somewhat... (How can I forget...?) He tried to get too close to rapping me, hurting my friends, and did awful things.
Because of this, Ryuji defends Keiko again to have Makoto to not bother with the subject.
Ryuji: Hey! Lay off of Keiko, she's been through a lot! And y'know she's only been here about a month or so. It's fine, Keiko, we got your back. I won't let people like Makoto get to you.
He was being friendly to Keiko to protect 'a little hint of jealousy for Ann to be seeing to be more mad at Makoto's attitude problem'.
Keiko: (They're supporting me.) Ryuji...It's nice of you to support me and all, but I'll be fine.
Makoto: Hm...I heard Mr. Kamoshida used a volleyball team member to spread details of your past record, Keiko. Don't you hate him? Mr. Kamoshida, I mean.
Keiko: I wish not to answer...
Now she was really pushing it to get some answers out of them for Koba.
Ryuji: What's this all about? My friend here's a sexy upstanding girl.
Ann hits Ryuji on the head.
Ann: Ryuji!
Ryuji: What?
Ann: But he's right, how dare you pressure Keiko on what she's been through from that bastard! Kamoshida got what he deserved.
Looks like Makoto needed to try harder to get some answers.
Makoto: I don't mean to offend. Many students have been shaken up like you have, Keiko. Everyone has what happened with Mr. Kamoshida. The rumors about that are odd, calling card-esque posting aren't going away either.
What can they say to someone like Makoto to be nothing to them to live through the day?
Ann: I didn't expect someone like you would care about that tactless stuff, Niijima-senpai.
Ryuji: I dunno that it was tactless...Anyways, are we done here? We can't have fun together if you keep talkin' to us.
They just told Makoto off to get burned.
Makoto: At least try to understand my position. Being forced to deal with this horseplay...
A bit rude there, huh? It would seem like it.
Keiko: Excuse me?
Ann: Horseplay...?!
Makoto: Ah yes, by the way...It's been decided that our school's roof top will be closed off due to the incident. I heard some people are coming up there without permission, after all.
She finally leaves the others to go through the day with Makoto leaving the roof right away.
Makoto: Nice seeing you again, Keiko, forgive me for questioning you so much...And I'm sorry to have interrupted the rest of you.
Well, that was something...So much for hanging out on the rooftop of the school to be their hideout no more. Now where will they hang out as their new hideout? Ann herself wasn't so happy for Makoto to be butting into their business.
Ann: What was that about?
It was troublesome. With Morgana jumping back down to let the others know to be careful around Makoto, since she was trying to get something out of them.
Morgana: ...She's onto us. That girl seems rather sharp. We should be cautious of her.
The three seem not to like Makoto 'even for Morgana' but Keiko knew she felt some goodness from her heart.
Keiko: Her...? Bad? But how can she be a bad person?
Ryuji: We don't know, she just is...She really pisses me off!
Keiko: We just have to be more careful.
Better than nothing for Ryuji has no choice and Keiko still thinks there's some good from Makoto.
Ryuji: Talk about a pain in the ass...
That aside, Morgana had something to say to the others since they will not be able to go up the school rooftop after today. Also, the exams were coming up for their school real soon to be ready to study hard.
Morgana: That remains me...Study hard. Especially you, Ryuji. There are bound to be traps that will need to be solved with brains. Keep in mind that everything you do in your daily lives has an impact on your abilities.
They haven't forgotten about studying for it.
Ann: True, studying won't be so bad if we just think of it as helping us prepare to be phantom thieves...
Good point there.
Keiko: Good point, Ann.
Ryuji: I guess you two got a point...But man, it's just so lame...I was all fired up about helpin' people, not about studyin'...
And then Morgana had something else to say to them next.
Morgana: Well, I do have somewhere interesting to show all of you beforehand. You guys did originally promise to help me out with my mission, after all.
For Keiko to remember it well, news to Ann to not get the whole thing yet, and Ryuji...to kind of forget.
Ryuji: Huh? Mission?
So the strange looking creature lets the other three follow him.
Morgana: Follow me.
Keiko: Then lead the way, Morgana.
And so he does from the other part of town in Shibuya – Station Square to go to for Morgana takes Keiko, Ann, and Ryuji somewhere else to be next to the train station's entrance. But what for? Something to do to search for Morgana's steps to his memory loss?
Ryuji: What're you bringin' us here for?
There was a very good reason why...
Morgana: Just do as I told you.
And by doing as Morgana tells Ryuji what he has to do, he gets the Phan-Site up on his cell phone.
Ryuji: All right, I've got the Phantom Aficionado Website up. What now?
Morgana: Look for a post with a full name in it.
But Ryuji couldn't find the last time, maybe there was a better trick for it.
Ryuji: I already said there's no info on any big shots. Don't you remember? But man, people actually go out someone's real name on here. That's some scary shit...
Keiko: The internet does that to people who are trolling. So sometimes it is not true, but it can affect others because of it.
Then Ann looks at her cell phone on the website itself to read something from there.
Ann: "He won't listen to what I have to say"...No wait, there's no name on this one.
Ryuji reads a different one next.
Ryuji: "Someone's bad-mouthin' me in online chat rooms"...This one's got a name.
Keiko: So many to choose from, huh?
Well, those weren't the ones on Morgana's mind.
Morgana: Ignore those. Aren't these any posts about more serious trouble?
For Keiko to check on some from one of the names to see from Ann's phone.
Keiko: Hey, look at this one...
Ann: "I don't know what to do about my ex who's stalking me. His name is Natsuhiko Nakanohara". It says he's a teller at City Hall.
That could be very important from this person.
Ryuji: A government worker's stalkin' someone...?
Keiko: A type of peeping tom...
And from there, they finally have a target to check out.
Morgana: There. That should be a suitable target. All right, not get the Meta-Nav ready.
Ryuji does it on his end.
Ryuji: We're just gonna jump right into a Palace? Fine by me!
Ryuji wants to jump into it.
Keiko: So soon, huh? As long as we can save some lives I guess.
Ann: Hey, what happened to all that talk of "unanimous decisions"? What do you think we should do, Keiko?
For Keiko to decide for them since she was their leader of the group, she says the word.
Keiko: We have to do this, Ann. For the people to be saved by stopping those who are very bad.
Both Morgana and Ryuji like that type of answer already.
Ryuji: Keiko, that's what I'm talkin' about!
Ann: OK then. Let's go.
They were all in, now they just needed to type the name and place down next.
Ryuji: We need a name and a place, right? So the name is...
About that, they didn't for this one.
Morgana: Actually, we don't need a location this time. Just enter exactly what I say. The key word is... "Mementos".
Keiko: Mementos...? (What an odd name to type down.)
That is different, huh?
Ryuji: Huh? What're tryin' to pull?
Morgana: Just listen to me. It should work...I think.
Ryuji: Geez, that again...? Uhh... "M-E-M-E-N-T-O-S", was it?
With Ryuji typing it down, the Nav responds to saying something like – 'Candidate found'.
[Nav App: Candidate found.]
Ryuji: We got a hit?!
Keiko: It sounds like it.
It does work.
Morgana: Just as I thought.
Once it was typed down, the real world changed into the Metaverse the way it happens when a Shadow's on the loose. But this time, they enter the world of the entire area to have no people around them but the four only. So weird...
Ann: Everyone disappeared...! It...kind of feels like I'm walking on air...?
Keiko: I feel nothing but emptiness on other parts...The rest has the people's Shadows to be here, I can feel it.
Seems like they were in the right location.
Ryuji: Is this that Nakanohara guy's Palace?
Soon, Morgana tells them the rest of what was what.
Morgana: That's half right, but half wrong. This is a type of Palace, but it's different from the normal ones. Madame Keiko, you know about three times we've saved the others from wild Shadows to turn into Personas? It's something like it but a bit more whenever we want to open the Metaverse.
That makes perfect sense since it did happen from Tae, Iwai, and Yoshi so far.
Keiko: Oh, yeah...I remember, but I never knew we could see more of this place to jump right in at any time.
Morgana: Now you're starting to understand. Come on, let's head on down. The Shadows here lurk underground. I don't quite understand why. It may be because they're drawn to something.
For this area 'and some other ones' for the Shadows to be drawn underground more than the surface, weird...
Ann: Underground...? How are we going to get there?
Morgana: How? You use it every day on your way to school.
Looks like Morgana knows how to get down underground in the Metaverse.
Morgana: Follow me!
Time for another game of follow the leader for Morgana to lead them down below.
Ryuji: Ah! Wait up, cat!
Once all four of them headed on down below the train station type of the Metaverse to then transform as their Phantom Thief selves.
Keiko: Suit up! Code name – Joker!
Morgana: Suit up! Code name – Mona!
Ryuji: Suit up! Code name – Skull!
Ann: Suit up! Code name – Panther!
They were all good to go. As they entered the underground to look way different from the real world's train station.
Ryuji: The hell is this place?
Keiko: It looks like we're inside a demon's body.
Good point, it does look like a little or a scary type of cave.
Ann: Hold on...If we just entered, the Shadows know we're already here?!
Morgana: Since the moment we stepped in.
Keiko: It's just like entering a bear's cave.
Shadows know if they walked in their territory.
Ryuji: You should've told us!
Morgana: Calm down...We're still safe right here. I've come to investigate a number of times. Shadows never come up to this floor. But it's a different story once we all go down any further. This place is simply teaming with them.
Looks like they have to be ready for anything once they do go down below.
Ann: More importantly, what is this Mementos?! It's about time you start explaining.
There's a good word of Mementos for Morgana to explain...
Morgana: Mementos is...everyone's Palace.
Ryuji: Huh? Whaddya mean "everyone's"...?
We finally learn what the word 'Mementos' meant for Keiko, Ann, and Ryuji to hear from Morgana himself.
Morgana: A Palace as grand as the previous castle only forms when a person's wishes are extremely distorted. So, instead of many individual Palaces, the general public has one gigantic shared Palace. That's where we are now, Mementos. When a Shadow breaks in the real world from here, it's okay to trap them in the Metaverse like this one so no one else can get hurt. Now do you understand?
Seems like it...
Ann: Now that you mentioned it, this place feels a bit different from Kamoshida's Palace...
Keiko: I feel like we're in some bad version of an ant hole or something.
Looks like it, 'sort of', but it wasn't.
Ryuji: When you say shared...you mean they're all put together? Even though they're just strangers...?
Morgana: Think of it as the collective unconscious...No, never mind. You wouldn't understand that.
Maybe Ryuji will have a bit of trouble knowing it at first...
Ann: So what you're saying is...Using this place, can we even change the hearts of people who don't have a Palace?
Sounds like it.
Morgana: Correct! The steps to do so are slightly different though.
More like to be in a cave of an ant hive in some type of maze world, and not to get lost in.
Ryuji: But this place looks pretty huge. Are we gonna be able to get around just by walkin'...?
Nope, for this is where Morgana comes in a bit to aid them on something he can do in the Metaverse only.
Morgana: It seems the time has finally come...
The others were confused.
Keiko: And what's that, Mona? I hope it'll get us where we need to be.
Morgana: You could say that, yes. Watch and see my awesome transformation! Morganaaa...transfooooorm!
From him jumping in the air, Morgana turns into...a car...? A black cat type of van really before Keiko, Ryuji, and Ann's eyes.
Keiko: Mona! (This is something new!) You're...a van or something...?
Morgana: I am indeed! Come now, Panther and Joker. Ladies first.
The others were still left speechless.
Ann: A car...?!
Ryuji: No way!
He can do that alright.
Morgana: This comes in a way cognition materializes in the Metaverse, plus a bit of extra training. It's not dissimilar to how you guys transform.
Yeah...but in Morgana's case it was a bit different.
Ryuji: You turnin' into a car is totally different than our clothes changin'!
Morgana: For some reason, "cats turning into buses" is an extremely widespread cognition among the general public.
Ann: Why a bus though?
Keiko: What type of car are you, Mona? A bus or a van?
He doesn't know how to make it happen.
Morgana: ...No idea. Either one.
And the first time to happen does not happen sooner from the first time.
Ryuji: Wait, why didn't you do this in the castle?!
Morgana: I would have if I could! But that castle was cramped, there were tons of stairs, and no way this fits on top of a chandelier.
I guess so. For Ryuji goes inside of Morgana's car form to get going...Too weird trying to say it not a sex like a thing, ew.
Ann: Hey, Skull! Ladies first!
They were fighting over to get in first...?
Ryuji: Stop pullin' me! That's dangerous!
Keiko can hear Ann and Ryuji fighting to be more in love with her.
Keiko: (I hope they'll go easy on their love life...)
While Morgana was having trouble getting them to remain calm.
Morgana: Panther! Please be gentle!
Keiko: Okay, you guys. Make some room. And no more fighting please, I'm coming in.
They were in the Morgana car to be in the back seat, all three of them.
Ryuji: All aboard! Let's go!
One problem, no one was driving because Morgana can't do it himself to have anyone of the three to do it.
Keiko: Wait...Who's driving? Mona?
Morgana: Why are you all just sitting back there? I'm a car, remember? I can't go unless someone drives me.
Yep, that's true...
Ryuji: You can't drive yourself?!
Ann: Do any of you know how to drive?
Ann didn't know how to drive, Ryuji didn't go to driving school to learn, but Keiko...She knows a little to be practicing a little from her parents' help.
Keiko: Actually...I did take some driving lessons with my Mom and Dad and I've studied a lot to do some driving arcade games too.
Hard to believe, but for Morgana, Ryuji, and Ann they do from Keiko to leave out one good piece of advice.
Ann: ...Um, safety first, Keiko, OK?
Ryuji: Hey, can I sit in the front seat with you, Joker...?
Trying to wrap his arms around Keiko again, the other two tell Ryuji to keep his hands to himself.
Ann and Morgana: NO!
Ryuji: OK, whatever! Geez...!
Looks like Keiko was driving Morgana.
Morgana: Madame Keiko, you'd better not smash up my beautiful face, you hear me?!
Keiko: I'll be careful, Mona, I promise.
Ann: All right then, we'll leave the driving to you!
So Keiko switches from the back seat and goes into the front driver's seat to drive, while Ryuji and Ann stay in the back.
Morgana: Now start the engine! You can't drive if it's not running!
Keiko knows how to do it.
Ryuji: Geez, what a pain...Where's the key to this thing?
Either way, Ryuji joins Keiko in the front seat with Keiko.
Ann: Ryuji...!
Ryuji: Calm down, Panther, I'm just helping out Joker is all. See? My hands are in the air. I'm not plannin' anything!
Looks like she'll allow it to keep her eyes on Ryuji 'just in case'.
Keiko: I don't think this thing has a key.
Morgana: Why would you need a key? There's a switch just down next to the steering wheel.
Keiko tries to reach for it to get it close to only hit Morgana to feel funny.
Keiko: Sorry! Wrong one...
Morgana: That tickles! Lower, lower!
Keiko: I...I got it!
She gets Morgana's car going to drive off.
Morgana: Oh, there...That feels soooooo gooooood...
Ryuji: Uh, is that purrin' I hear...? What a creepy-ass car!
Morgana: Don't underestimate my meowtary engine. We're going full throttle! It's time to fly!
Looks like Morgana/Mona was on, running, and ready to move out for Keiko/Joker to drive her friend in the Metaverse underground Mementos area where other Shadows were hiding around to hurt others' distorted hearts. It was time to drive off from within Mementos world to be a very long maze to go deep down below. For Ryuji/Skull and Ann/Panther were also all set to go. And yes, Morgana can turn back when in battle. Lots to do on what the four Phantom Thieves to do and such to finding their first target to change of next.
Tayla: Here's to end it off with a joke I did for fun. What do you call Morgana/Mona who turns into a car? Give up...? A purr-fectional vehicle. Ah...? You get it? Stick around, more targets for them to get and more to come in the next one to see. Well, the other targets to get to later on 'for you guys will soon be the others'.
We'll be right back for more chapters/episodes to come on this fanfiction story or my version of Persona 5 Royal.
