The Fortuna Office

Touma merely blinked when the realization hit the fan, "Uhhha… Guys, have we not talk about the elephant in the room?"

Itsuki, Tsubasa, Kiria, Eleonora, and Yashiro exchanged glances, except for Mermaid who happen to stroll around the office. Itsuki was the first to understand what his friend was talking about as he begins to recognize the Lime haired girl stranger that Tsubasa was with when she entered.

Mermaid was humming to herself as she gazed at the large flat screen T.V all the while flipping the channel button. The Demon wore a white sundress and high heels.

Eleonora gasped in shock while Kiria's facepalm, Yashiro remained silent. They seeing Tsubasa's mermaid demon walking around with actual human legs without a care in the world.

"Uh, Tsubasa," Itsuki slowly turned to a confused Tsubasa, "Is that Mermaid?"

Tsubasa blinked, "Yea, that's Mermaid-san alright. Wha… AW SHOOT!" Tsubasa stammered, "I meant to tell you guys that Mermaid-san can walk around with two legs and everybody can see her!"

"But how come she's not inside your phone?" Kiria asked surprised.

Tsubasa made a nervous laugh, "Mermaid said it was crampy in there."

"So you mean to tell me that demons are completely visible in the real world?"

"I-I hope not and maybe it's just Mermaid-san," Tsubasa twiddled her fingers.

"Hard to say but I remembered my demon actively playing in the trash. Not sure if anybody can see him," Itsuki places his finger on his chin in thought.

"WHHHAAAT?" Tsubasa and Touma said in unison.

Kasumi was a little confused about what Itsuki and the others were talking about but it's best not to think about it yet.

Elirer Kiria explains to the best of her knowledge about Persona User and got to details about Personas too with Kasumi baking her up. Only Eleonora, Kiria and Yashiro knew what Personas are.

If Kiria said what she claimed to be true then it makes Kasumi valuable to mysterious foreign entities known as the Mirages. Performa is creative energy from the heart which means that it can change into two different forms depending on which path the User is willing to take. If the User chose to fend off the darkness from within the creative energy becomes explosive and evolves into a guardian known as a Persona. However, if the User gives in to the darkness their energy will become negative and their entire bean will be consumed in black, not to mention their bodies warped to become monstrous and demonic.

The Mirage feeds on Performa no matter what form, making the Mirage as dangerous Predators to Personas and Shadows.

Kasumi's hands clutched her knees at the thought; in truth, she could no longer summon her Persona thanks to Kronya. Kasumi thought she knew what lay ahead when she took on Kronya in one last desperate struggle but she didn't think Kronya could flat out erased her identity in the real world and still possess her.

For once Kasumi had no idea what to do. She was thankful that Kiria is still Kiria, even though she doesn't remember her anymore.

"You didn't threaten the guy did you," Touma sweatdropped.

Mermaid tilted her head in curiosity, "I don't know what you mean."

"Well he meant that you seem to have this menacing tone," Eleonora elaborated.

"Oh! You mean that face that beastly man from last time, all I did say that I would rip out his spine and dine on it." Spoke innocently.

"I thought you said you would 'dine on his blood'," Tsubasa said.

Mermaid burst out laughing, "Oh darling~ I didn't mean it that way… maybe."

"See, that's what I'm talking about!" Tsubasa flailing her arms. Mermaid rolled her eyes at her master and raised her hand, "I swear I won't kill or eat anybody… without your permission."

"Somehow that doesn't make me feel any better…" Tsubasa muttered.

Itsuki was a little curious about something, "Hey Tsubasa, have you talked to your family about Ayaha?"

"No, Mermaid had been filling Aya's shoes."

Touma was about to say something stupid but Eleonora cut him off.

"I take it Mermaid can shapeshift?" The blond actress inquired.

Tsubasa laughed heartily, "Yea… my parents haven't suspected a thing… Mermaid had mimicked her voice on the phone."

"I happen to pick some tricks from my Zhu Yin Sister friends."

"Yea I guess it's something I can be grateful for."

"Don't forget that you own me a trip to the hot springs," Mermaid exclaimed.

As Itsuki was listing to the conversation he got a Topic Message from Mamori.

Mamori: Hey, Itsuki-san! You're not going to believe it but I Raidou-san is at the Sky Garden Palace with Tiki. Also, there is this new person and Nah, which turned out to be the friend that he was looking for.

Itsuki was surprised at Mamori's message.

Itsuki: Good to hear! Dose Tiki wants us to come to visit?

Mamori: Yea! I've also talked to TIki about Kasumi-san, she says she knows how to help her.

Itsuki: Good. We'll head over there right away.

Itsuki ended his Topic message on his phone turned his attention back to the group, "Guys its Mamori. She said that Tiki wants the rest of us to head over to her palace."

"Is Tiki sure about this?" Inquired Kiria as she crossed her arms, "What about Kasumi?"

This got Itsuki thinking, "I guess I was in a rush that I didn't ask Mamori about Kasumi. I'll ask her."

"No, wait," Kasumi blurted, "It's okay I'll stay here for the time being."

This kind of surprised the group, "Oh boy…" Touma spoke up first as he scratched the back of his head.

Kasumi put of a meek smile, "Don't worry it's not like I'm going to raid whats in Maiko-san's office decors. Besides that Mirage that hunting me probably what to see the bloom palace."

"True but…" Itsuki was unsure, he then heard his phone ring and check to see who it is.

[Topic Message]

Mamori: I forgot to tell you that Kasumi should come with you guys. TIki-chan said that it's okay and that she would have texted you about this but she is busy talking to Raidou-san and Miss Nah. I'm sorry.

Itsuki: It's okay Mamori, thanks for letting us know.

Mamori: You're welcome Itsuki-san!

[Topic Message end]

After Itsuki put his phone back to his pocket he turned his attention back to Kasumi, "Well, Mamori told us that you can come along."

Kasumi was surprised, does that mean Tiki remembered her?

"Is it okay?" Itsuki nodded.

"To be honest I was thinking I should stay here with you but I know Tiki might have a plan so hopefully we can resolve it."

The redhead girl's face brightens, at the thought of Itsuki staying here with her. Part of her wanted to have a little stroll with Itsuki-kun but she also worried that Kronya might hijack her body and try to attack Tiki.

Tch… like I care about the little friend but that Itsuki guy looks handsome maybe I will hijack your body…

Kasumi's blood ran cold but did her best to shake it off as she stood up and reached out her hand, "Okay I'll go with you."

Itsuki nodded as he reaches out to shack her hand.

Tomorrow Tokyo
Shopping Center

It was memorizing for Ayaha to see so many Neon Holographic sighs as she walked with Akira. Her hands behind her back then she lances her fingers together as her expression was brighter than ever. It's been a while since she been this good about herself but something doesn't feel right as if… no, she'll have to think about that later.

"Dude, this movie is coming out tomorrow!" Exclaimed a random male person.

"Hmm… I wonder if this is any good than the last," Wondered a noblewoman from Askr.

"Hey, Hey, HEY! Nooo cutting!" Shouted an Archer Mirage.

"Hey, shut up! I'm busily texting my friend!" A Mirage Troll shot back.

The Joker watch the long line from the theater area he was not sure if Aya would like to go to the movie was an original idea but part of him wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. Mabey they could go out to eat.

He asked if Ayaha wants to pick out a place to eat and Ayaha is pleased that he ask so she pointed to a café.

The Café itself was run by an automatic robot hover drone and a girl with light blue hair tied to a ponytail wearing a white school uniform. Akira and Ayaha place their orders after the drone flew away to get their orders they talk and joke like they use to when they were children.

Ayaha always loves looking out at the stars and the moonlit night sky. She expressed that it had made her calm during her role as a respected Idol. When Tsubasa was feeling down Ayaha had always sung for her and Tsubasa would sing with her.

Akira had recalled hearing that from Tsubasa when she was little and feeling down, though he remarked that Tsubasa was felt embarrassed talking about it to anyone that's not her older sister.

Tomorrow Tokyo(21)
Outside of City Hall

Tiffany just got out of the Idolasper and back to this point in time after she was done exploring. She and Flop may have run into those two Mirage enemies but she managed to ward them off.

Tiffany is a twenty-year-old young woman with short pink hair and fair skin. The outfit she wore in a white dress blouse with a brown skirt, knee-length socks, and dress shoes. She dons silver armored plating around her waist and on her right arm is a high-tech gauntlet.

"All in the days work eh, Flop?" The blue-eyed Askr noble skipped brightly to City Hall with a small talking black crow following her.

"It's Floop actually," said the demon crow as he flapped his wings.

"Whatever! Hey, I'm going to get a bit to eat, I'm starving!" Tiffany exclaimed.

"Shouldn't we be looking for you're little sister? Your parents about to blow a gasket if you two are not at the ceremony."

"It just for a little minute," The Noble pouted.

"More like an hour."

"Fine… five minutes!" She grinned.

"But that's not—"

"I'm sure you'll cover for me, thanks!" She waved at her crow companion and ran up the stairs.

"Hey wait! That girl…" the Floop muttered as he followed her.

Ann watches Ryuji stuff his face with noodles, burgers, and friends then he washed it down with a soda. Ann just ordered a salad and a burger… good thing the currency is still the same here in this world.

"It hasn't been that long has it?" Ann couldn't help but ask.

Ryuji burped, "Well we didn't have a decent meal for a while."

"Implying that hot peppers in that rec room and Henry's carrot horde aren't enough."

"Carrots is not enough for me to fill me up. Also, he wouldn't let us near the fridge without charging."

"But at least he's not charging for his carrots and tea," Ann remarked.

"Whatever, I'm just saying," Ryuji then he spotted a girl with pink hair from behind Ann. The happy girl was busy adding food to her plate at a buffet. It's not just that but when Ryuji saw her face as she turned around for a moment he became dumbfounded.

"Okay, what is it?" Ann asked.

"Um, don't turn around but," He whispered close for Ann to hear, "But I think I saw Tiffany-chan."

Ann blinked in surprise, "Yumi?" she turned around and gasped, "What is she doing—wait, are you sure that's her?"

"Hello, is this seat taken?" Tiffany exclaimed as she walked up to the pair.

Ann sweatdrop, she recalled seeing Yumi being introduced to the class back at school before they meet Akira. The Teacher had claimed that Yumi is a Taiwanese Diva, which made sense because most of the guys in the class had fallen for her. Tiffany had also gained a lot of popularity among the student body for two weeks before the principal abruptly announced that 'due to death threats Yumi was sent back to Taiwan'. Nobody has seen or heard from her again.

"Um, hello. Yeah, you can site here," Ann tried to not freak out at the fact that Yumi, or a least the girl who looks like her, was standing right next to them after she vanished from public view.

"Thanks, I'm Tiffany by the way," The Pink haired girl smiled as she was able to read their expression, "Judging by your clothes I bet you two knew Yumi back at this Shinjin Academy."

Ann and Ryuji blinked in surprise, "Yea! Is she a relative of yours?"

"Nah, she was just an imposter looking to cause trouble her name I believe is Loki," Tiffany laughed.

"Oh…" Ann and Ryuji remembered who Loki is, they prefer to forget about that evil woman.

"She was a Mirage seeking Performa from the students but Caroline and Justine stopped scared her off. You know who they are, right?"

"You mean those kids that protect TIki?" Ryuji asked.

"Yup," The Pink haired summoner chirped as she sat down next to Ann.

"Ah, well anyway my name is Ann, and this is Ryuji," Ann smiled.

Ryuji acted cool with a wave but failed when Ann and Tiffany notice he got a fly in his soup.

"What the heck there's a fly in my soup!" and abruptly got up and throw it in the trash ban.

"Oh! At least Ryuji-kun remembers a friendly face~!" Tiffany laughed

Ryuji rushed back as, "Hee hee, Tiffany-chan!" he clumsily, abruptly, stood up and bowed, "It's an honor to be at your company of such a pretty face!" he made a goofy grin, eyes staring at Tiffany's bust size.

"Yea, try not to stare at Tiff for too long, Ryuji," Ann rolled her eyes.

"N-No It not going to be like last time!" Ryuji pointed his finger at Ann.

Tiffany laughed, "I don't mind getting admired, just don't get any funny ideas."

"Agreed," Ann laughs as well.

Tiffany sat down with Ann while they talked about their day. Ann and Ryuji were surprised to learn that Tiffany is Patty's sister and that there from another world. Tiffany explained that in her world, she fights and tame demons. She also fights Mirages too but she does not have a Partner nor Persona. She also visits Tokyo in her free time which caught the ire of the Mirage that would risk her identity.

"Oi! Tiff! Are you done? We got to get a move on!" said a small taking Demon Crow landed on the table, causing Ryuji to fell backward.

Tiffany huffed, "Fine. Hey, guys, do you want to tag along?"

"I don't see why not, I'll have to texts are friends letting them know that where going."

"Alrighty!" Tiffany grin at her demon.

"Oh, that just great. Your new pals will have to keep up then!" The crow flew up and landed at Tiffany's shoulder.

"You heard the bird onward!" The Pink haired girl marched towards the exit.

Ryuji groaned as he got up, Ann gave him a hand, "My specks hurts."

"You'll live," Ann said, "Come on let's go follow her, she doesn't seem like she knows who we are yet."

"Well… of course she doesn't know. Wait, what are you talking about?" Ryuji said confused.

"Us being Phantom Thieves?" The pigtailed blown rolled her eyes.

Ryuji made a facepalm, "Right… don't laugh."

Sky Garden Palace
Above the daybreak sea

{Switch Phantasy Star Online Soundtrack – Day Dawns}

Tiki, greeted her friends as soon as that showed up at her alter slash thrown. Kasumi's face brightens at seeing how much this place has changed dramatically since she was gone. The Palace was teeming of plant life and it's even wider. Kasumi didn't even know that they were above ground high enough to see the ocean and the sunrise.

Itsuki was relieved to see Raidou again and the person he was looking which turned out to be a young girl who's probably the same age as the blue-clad warden girl. Nah, introduce herself to the group all the while thanking them for looking after Raidou.

Tsubasa wanted to ask twenty questions to the little girl, maybe asked her if she is an imp but that would be too weird.

Mamori had talked with Nah before she was just happy Raidou was able to find his friend. Druag and Paravati had appeared by Mamori's side analyzing the newcomer.

Eleonora shared the same feelings as Mamroi. Virion had appeared beside the Hollywood actress and introduce himself to the little Burnette girl, which promoted Ellie to roll her eyes at her Mirage Partner.

Yashiro remains silent, there's not much else to say about the young girl except that she looks familiar to Navarre.

Kiria noted that Nah has the same pointy ears as Tiki. Touma concluded that she may be a Mirage however Kiria disputed that claim when Nah was surprised to see Chrom.

Mirage Chrom was confused as to how did Nah know his name but decided to go along with it, for now. Nah, catch that right away that Chrom does not remember her just like her mother, who is Nowi.

Nowi was puzzled when Nah referred to her as her mother.

Nah had a wide range of emotions when she saw Chrom and her mother as Mirages. She knew Lord Chrom had become a Mirage but it still surprised her to see him like this; he doesn't look much different than his original appearance if you count the two glowing light blue light which is his eyes and the lower part of his face covered in a dark cloth and not to mention he is concealed in full body armor and a ragged white cape.

Wait, "Um," Nah hesitated a little.

Itsuki and Chrom exchanged glances then back to the little brown-haired imp-like girl, who's dress seem to resemble a vampire in one of those movies that they watched with Ellie.

Nah frowned, "Wa-why are you looking at me like that?" she stomps on the grown.

Itsuki jumped, "Oh, um, we were wondering if you going to say something."

Nah sighed, "That's not the reason. You must think I look like a Vampire."

"Not at all," Chrom said, "If I were to guess you might be related to Tiki."

Nah looked back at Tiki, watching her talked to Tsubasa, Kiria, Tiki=Waifu and that redhead girl that she mistook for a younger Anna.

"No Milord," Nah look back at them, "but we are the same spices."

"Oh, so you are a Mirage them," Itsuki said thinking. Nah rolled her eyes, "I'm not a Mirage ether, I'm just mortal like you but with the blood of the Manaketes. Besides you don't see me floating like my mother."

"Good point…" Itsuki knew this raised more questions than answers as this may imply wider impactions, "So is Nowi your mother? She doesn't seem like it."

"My Mother may not look like it but she is over a thousand years old," Nah pointed out.

Itsuki and Chrom were surprised to hear this.

"Keep in mind being a Manaketes means you can transform into a dragon—"

Chrom's face flushed as he raised his hand, "You don't have to explained, we get the pitcher."

"Un-yea!" Itsuki nodded in agreement.

"Oh," Nah blinked, "So anyway Lord Chrom, how did you get two Falcions? How did you and Itsuki meet? What kind of adventure did you have? I want the full scoop, don't leave anything out."

They were both taken aback at the number of questions by the little girl after not leaving any details out. To Itsuki and his Mirage Partner, there's not much to talk about except that they helped Tsubasa and the others in the entertainment business, and protect the world.

Meanwhile, Kiria had informed Tiki on Kasumi's situation with a Mirage. Tsubasa listens, not because she is paranoid that a Mirage would try to jump out of Kasumi's body and attack the group. Tiki=Waifu was interested in her only because she had an idea for a new song.

"Hmmm," Tiki's eyes are close as she was thinking, arms crossed, as she looked down. Caroline and Justine stood beside her.

"If that the case you guys should go to the EX Labyrinth," TIki said.

"The EX Labyrinth?" Kiria asked.

"Yeah," The Greenette Goddess nodded happily, "This particular Mirage sounds very stubborn to let go and big sister Kasumi has been struggling to break free. One thing I know is that no one had figured out how to sever the chain at that time."

"Well Itsuki and Chrom know how to do it," Kiria said.

"Exactly!" Tiki exclaimed, "The EX Labyrinth is the perfect place to draw out this Mirage, that way Big Sister Kasumi, with Big brother Itsuki help, can break the chain and control."

"So we have to go back to that place and fight a Mirage…?" Tsubasa said.

Ceada appeared next to Tsubasa, she looked around, "Um, where is Kasumi? Wasn't she here with us a moment ago?"

Tsubasa and Kira were stunned and looked around while Tiki=Waifu emotionlessly looked both ways.

"I don't smell her around here ether," Mermaid said as she stood beside Ceada and Tsubasa.

"Wait, what?" Touma ran up to the alter/thrown area. Tsubasa rolled her eyes at him for eavesdropping their discussion.

Caroline, "The Mirage had taken that girl to the EX Labyrinth. We saw her vanished before our eyes while Lady Tiki was pondering."

Justine, "Also she saw what's left is the triangular particles flying towards the gateway to Lady Tiki's Loot Dungeon which is the EX Lab."

Kiria grunted in annoyance, while Tsubasa was on a verge of a panic mode to which Ceada calmed her down by placing her hand on her Partners' shoulder. How can this happen under their noses, this is just like what happened five years ago.

Tharja giggled, "Another one of our failures has gotten away it seems." Kirai sighed, "At least Kronya is not after Tiki but it can't wait."

Tiki was not surprised that it happens but she knows that most Mirage and Demons are always drawn to her Labyrinth. She was however intrigued that it took it this long for the Mirage to figure out where that place is.

EX Labyrinth

{Switch to Final Fantasy 13-2 OST – Disc Two – 12 – Ruined Hometown}

"Um, where are we, Henry?" Makoto Nijima asked.

The Pink Angel Rabbit slightly stammered, "It would seem that I've taken a wrong detour."

"Yea this is not the Bloom Palace," Futaba pointed out.

Henry Blinked, "The Bloom Palace? Oh, you mean the Sky Garden Palace! But at least it's the same coordinates."

"More like the WRONG coordinates," Morgana narrowed his eyes at the dumb rabbit.

"Hey, I'm getting the hang of it!" Herny said nervously, "I'm just not that used to being around a lot of people that all, my aim is pretty shoddy as it is!"

"Hey, that's alright Henry-chan," Haru smiled, "You did your best."

Makoto sighed, then turned her attention to Patty, "Do you know where this Place is, Patty?"

"Yup! This is Tiki's Labyrinth," Patty nodded. Morgana's eye was wide like saucers, "Are you serious!?"

To enter the Garden one must prove their worth.

Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Henry, Morgana, Patty, and Yusuke heard the voice range thought out the walls of the Greek-like area.

To be reunited with old comrades one must work together… to free a lost soul.

"Old comrades? Lost soul?" Futaba wondered aloud, "Cool, more riddles."

"Who cares, we hit the jackpot! Henry, I never doubted you for a secant!" Morgana exclaimed.

Henry sweatdropped.

"Wear not going to loot the place," Makoto said with crossed arms, "We should let Akira, Ann, and Ryuji know where we are. Hopefully, they don't bring Ayaha along."

"Hmmm, why not? I think Lady Ayaha can help us out," Henry the rabbit tilted his head so that his left foot can reach his ear for a scratch.

Makoto sighed, "No." she reached for her pocket to pick up her phone, "The last thing we need is more trouble."

"I hope you don't mean Aya," Futaba rolled her eyes, seems like Makoto is back at treating Ayaha like an adversary again.

"Yes, but I think it's for her good as well," Makoto started texting.

"I don't think so," Futaba argued, "If we ditch her then how we know if it will create more problems. We'll be screwed either way."

"It's one of those rare moments that I have to agree," Yusuke said thinking, "Ether we pressed on without her and risked her exposer to the population or we bring her along and take this thing by the horns."

Makoto bit her lower lip, she did not like these options and she's the most open-minded intelligent of the group. The fact is that these options are bad, leaving Ayaha alone means that she could absorb Performa from the civilians and—

No, she can't give in to hate, even if Makoto considers Ayaha to be her worst enemy. She still doesn't know anything about Ayaha other than being a respected actress and Akria long lost relative.

She didn't hate Ayaha, if anything Makoto is happy to know that Ayaha has her memory back… it's just that it too good to be true, and previously being a vessel of two entities; both Aversa and Grima, it's hard not to think that this will turn upside down.

Caroline and Justine lead the group into the EX Labyrinth.

"Here we are," Caroline announced.

Itsuki was a little surprised, "Hmmm," he started thinking, "Is it just me or this place seems foggy than the last time we've been here."

"Ah, yea, the fog of war," Justine giggled.

Chrom appeared beside Itsuki, "I can sense more Mirages and Demons around here."

Caroline smirked, "This place had turned into a battleground since the Fell had occurred, the forces of Law and Chaos had once clash here not too long ago."

"Law and Chaos…" Chrom, "Strange… that meaning sounds familiar to me."

Itsuki was about to ask but Nah walked up to Chrom and Itsuki as she explains, "Law and Chaos, as far as I'm aware, is a group of two Primary factions of monsters. Depending on how they are born they tend allied themselves to either one of these groups."

"Really?" Said Itsuki.

"Yea, really," Nah nodded, "They been at war for a long, long time and things got a lot more chaotic than it needs to be."

"Wait, you said monsters what kind of monsters?" Tsubasa asked.

"Demons," Nah spoke simply.

Tsubasa, "I was afraid of that…" she jumped when Mermaid sneaked up and warped her arms around Tsubasa's waist.

"Don't worry Ceada and I will protect you," The Mermaid Demon rubbed her cheeks against her adorable human mistress face.

Ceada laughed.

"C-cut it out!"Oribe unhooked herself from the Lime haired Mermaids embrace, too a couple steps forward and turned on her heel with a scolding face.

"I'm used to this kind of physical contact and me not that kind of girl!" Tsubasa's face was red.

Mermaid then preceded to laugh too.

Nah's face deadpan, "Okay… moving right along... so we're looking for that girl in this place?" she turned to face Kiria.

"Yea, Kasumi is her name, she might be at the end of the Labyrinth."

"Mmmm, okay then me, Gouto and Raidou will help you out," Nah said.

"Thanks," Itsuki said, "Just try not to get to carried away."

"Will do," The black cat pop up from Nah's bag.

"Now that it's all settle, we will leave you to your objective," Caroline said.

"Good luck you guys!" Justine cheered.

As Yashiro and his peers watch the twins returned to the Sky Garden Palace he felt something strange, this is neither a demon nor a Mirage.

"You felt it too?" Navarre appeared beside Yashiro

"Hmm, yea… seems to wear not the only ones here."

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Eleonora huffed, "Come on we have to get going!"

Yashiro nodded and followed the group as Navarre vanished from view.

Itsuki Aoi and company walked through the first floor of the Labyrinth, they had encountered several wild Mirages and a Hawk demon. Tsubasa and Ceada spared no time in putting them down on their first turn after that the preceded to the secant floor.

Ceada felt a distant presence.

"What is it Ceada?" Tsubasa asked.

"Something is happing far away from where we at," Ceada said, "I can smell a battle."

Tsubasa sweatdropped, "I hope it doesn't come here when we rescue Kasumi."

"Yea," Itsuki said, "We got to hurry and find—"

"Itsuki lookout," Chrom shouted alarmed.

{Switch to Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE OST - 08 - Danger}

The group was surprised to see a large number of Mirage Phantoms and three blank drones with Gatling guns wearing a mask surrounded them.

"OoooOOO…!"

"Oh no, not again…!" Tsubasa stammered.

Itsuki grunted but then a female voice shouted.

{Stop Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE OST - 08 – Danger}

"I got this, get down!"

The group ducked, Raidou shielding Nah with his cape while Paravati shield Mamori with her body and the rest of the gro. A flying golden sword and lighting struck down on all the enemies.

Itsuki, Chrom, Tsubasa, and Ceada were the first to look to see a girl with raven hair stood on the Pillar, the golden sword return to its Master's side.

"Talia?" Itsuki was surprised to see his old classmate being showing up here. It odd that he remembered her right away, she's only been gone for a whole school year after her grandmother died. He has known her to be very popular in school. He notes that her hair is a bit longer than last time, mostly due to her Carnage outfit which means that Talia is a Mirage Master.

Speaking of Carnage Talia's new office, she wore a medal decorated sleeveless grey dress shirt with a blue tie, black forearm guards, short shorts, long black skirt, and high heeled armored boots.

Talia looked down at Itsuki, analyzing his expression. Her Carnage reverted to her casual clothes as she jumped down to meet the group.

"Talia is that you?" Touma asked stunned at her sudden appearance.

"Don't rub it in," Talia said bluntly.

"Yup, it's here alright…" Kiria said.

Tsubasa looked at Kiria in shock, "Wait, you know her?!"

{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE OST - 40 – Cuteness}

"Not exactly, I just know of her doing pretty well for herself as a fashion Idol," Kiria explains.

"Oh, yeah I've remembered seeing her in a bikini in that magazine the other day," Tsubasa mused.

"Yeeeaa, though she's not a great singer though," Touma remarked.

"Huh? She's an Idol now?" Itsuki asked.

"Yup, but she's a photo op girl," Touma's brows frowned, "and not a great singer to boot."

Talia narrowed her eyes, "Are you done? Can we get to the part that I just saved your life?"

Itsuki thought about for a moment before nodding, "Well… I supposed you are right, thank you."

"Yeah well don't get too conformable—"

"Okay let's talk what are you doing here and why did you become a Mirage Master?" Touma cut the chase.

"Sheesh your welcome!"

"Hey, it's been pretty weird for us…!"

"Sorry," the raver haired teenage vixion rolled her eyes, "I happen to be a drifter."

"Drifter? Ah, I see," Touma remarked, "You got the power but you prefer to go dark."

"Excused me, do you have a problem with drifters?" Talia crossed her arms over her chest, "How would you feel when you when some ghost in rages try to attack you only… forget it… it's a long story anyway which I drought you understand."

Touma sighed, "Right, thanks Tal," He hung his head in tiredly.

Kiria, "I know we just have a new party member and all but can we get moving?"

Itsuki nodded, "We can't waist a secant, Kasumi is in danger. Talia, I thank you for your help but can we trust you on this?"

Talia raised her eyebrow, "You don't think I stab you in the back?"

"This whole thing feels staged." Admitted Itsuki, "We came here to help a girl but we got ambushed and then you showed up."

"Well," Talia narrowed her eyes, "Like a drifter, I don't need your permission to play the hero and for the record that was not staged. Look, I want to do some good with my powers so at least let us do our thing and then afterward we will go our separate ways!"

Itsuki thought about it for a moment, "Alright, but just to be clear; I'm not saying we should not ever help each other out when things get too heated."

Talia nodded with a smile, "I'm sure you won't regret it."

The group pressed on to the path that they have taken with Talia following. Nah ran up to Itsuki and coughed in one hand to get his attention, "Sir Itsuki what do you make of this person that joining us?"

The boy shrugged, "I'm not sure but think I've already pitcher her as a Mirage Master in my vision."

"Vision?" Nah rolled her eyes, "Well anyway just to be careful around strangers next time. I never heard of the term drifters in my life."

"Their no different to Nomads," Gouto Remarked, popping head out of Nah's bag.

"Hey, I'm still studying," Nah pouted at the black cat, "Drifters are scarce in my world and someone pretty like her with an hourglass figure just happens to be a good private citizen just rubs me the wrong way."

"I think I can trust her for this one thing," Itsuki said, "Besides we need all the help we can get for what we have to deal with."

"Your right," Nah agrees, "But unless she has proven her worth she's no good to us. Till then we'll keep her away from Tiki."

Itsuki nodded.

Makoto, Futaba, Haru, Henry, Patty, Morgana, and Yusuke walked through the maze. They have encountered many Mirage in their path but was delft with thanks part to their lesser Mirage allies.

A Lesser Mirage, a Party Blobs, was chilling next to an old open-door Greek rural house, next to a row of pots. The group approached the creature in question.

Turns out this Mirage is selling items of live ammo and steel weapons. Makoto and Futaba made their purchase. Inside the house, there is a pitcher of Idols on the wall, what excites Futaba was Kiria's cat costume poster so she bought that first.

Morgana looked around the shop as well but something caught his eye, a poster of a girl wearing a white sundress in an Airtma Shower ad.

"Why does she looked vaguely—hey clerk? I like to buy that!"

"Sure, that will be one meloc gem!"

"ONE Meloc Gem?" Morgana's eyes widen, "I hope you're not serious bug boy!"

"It's Mr. Hat Bug to you and yes, one Meloc Gem!"

Morgana grumped, "That's high way robbery, for one piece of paper!"

"It's okay I greatly buy that for you," Henry said cheerfully. The angle rabbit bought the poster from the Blobe.

Henry handed the poster to Morgana, "Thanks."

"Hey, Mona guess what I bought!" Futaba ran up to the two Shadows and showed them a pic of Kiria wearing a matching white sundress in the sunset.

Morgana's jaw hit the floor. Kiria had the most perfect smile in that shot better than the poster that he had of that girl.

"Kiria looks so hot in that shot!" Futaba exclaimed.

Morgana retracted, "Oh yea, well this girl uh what her name has… the right stuff," that sounded weird.

"I agree Oribe Tsubasa looks has all the right stuff," Henry said gleefully.

"What," Morgana said flatly then examined the poster and the date and the name of… Morgana paused for what it felt like a lift time.

Henry, Futaba followed by Makoto looked at him confused.

The shout of "WHAAAAAAAT!?" could be here outside.

Tomorrow Tokyo(21)
Central Park

{Switch to Pual Anka (& Richard Marx) – "Say It" *1987* [No Way Out Soundtrack]}

Ayaha smiled as she watched the kids play with their dog while she sat on the bench waiting for Akira. Central Park looked beautiful, it gives her peace of mind and it gives her time to think… Ayaha is worried about Tsubasa though but she knows she is strong. Maybe working with Maiko gave her stress and that's why… no, she can't think about that, she needs to move on.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Ayaha turned to her right to see Akira with her ice cream, "Thanks," She smiled, she took her ice cream.

"You know I've seen Tsubasa on a screen while I was getting your Ice cream," The Joker remarked.

"Oh, you did?" Aya acted surprised.

"Yea, she changed a lot," He remarked.

The Raven haired young woman's brows frowned as she looked down, "She has and also a lot stronger."

"Yeah, that's what I meant."

"You don't seem that much surprised about that," Aya said.

"What to be surprised about?" He starched the back of his head.

Ayaha giggled, "I know but still... I was going surprised you once—"

"Hey!"

{Stop Pual Anka (& Richard Marx) – "Say It" *1987* [No Way Out Soundtrack]}

Akira turns around to see a girl with pink hair rushing towards them and then stop at seven feet.

"Sorry to break up this chat but you two are coming with me!" Tiffany said, pointed her finger at a suspired Ayaha.

"Who the heck are you?" Akira put on his white mask.

Ryuji and Ann showed up at the scene.

"Whoa hold on?" Ryuji was baffled. "What's happening here?" Ann asked suspired.

Tiffany put up her battle stance, "So you must be Joker!" she brought out her blade, "and you are protecting this high profile assailant!"

The Joker grunted, "I don't have time for this, look we'll leave and take Ayaha with us back to her home."

"I don't think so, you're not going anywhere!" Tiffany created a lightning circle to summon a demon, "Ceburas, come out!"

Ryuji's eyes widen, "D-did she just summon a Persona?" Ann put up her battle stance, "I think she did. Come on, we got to suit up!"

"And she was just nice-looking girl too…" Ryuji muttered.

EX Labyrinth
The third floor

{Play Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE OST – Demonic}

"Why did you bring me here?" Kasumi demand.

"This seems like a perfect spot for my home, don't ya think? I mean this whole area has all the treasure in this world."

Kasumi clenched her fist, "If that's what you wanted then you're better off with it."

"You mean you don't want me around anymore? That's fine, I kinda don't want you around anyway but I still need my old body back so tough luck. You should have never got in my way in the first place, now you stick with me!"

"NO!" Kasumi shouted, "GET OUT!"

The Fortuna group showed up just in a nick of time.

"Kasumi!"

The red-haired school girl turned around to meet them, "I-Itsuki, I can't… she's too powerful."

"Hmm? What's this, a bunch of losers! At least the guys look cute."

"This is worse than I thought, that girls Performa is draining out of her body," Chrom said.

Itsuki gritted his teeth.

"Be careful Itsuki, this Mirage could be tough."

A translucent circle erupted violently like a ripple in the water, "How are going to get me when you can't even see me?"

{Switch to Persona 2 Innocent Sin (PSP) OST - Quest Battle}

Two Barbarians and two mage clerks appeared out of lightning, the group became alarmed.

"Could you show them to the door please~"

Tsubasa and Kiria's attire transformed into her carnage form and ran forwarded to attack the clerks. The clerks tried to attack them with a lightning spell but the two girls dogged. Then Yashiro in his carnage made a zip close to one of them and struck them down his sword. Kiria took out the last clerk with her ice attack.

The two Barbarians spin around towards Itsuki but Mamori's Demon appeared and block the attack with her force field. The twelve-year-old axe weirder took the moment to strike at one Barbarian but the wild Mirage dogged.

Itsuki then threw us rapier upward, Mirage Chrom materialized and performed an attack in the air that would make him dive down like a comet at the two enemies. The attack had vaporized the two Barbarians.

After the battle is over Kyrona scoffed.

"Okay, so it isn't what I expected."

Itsuki, Chrom, and the group ignored the remark and was focus on Kasumi.

"Kasumi, I know a way we can help you but you'll have found some way to let her out the moment she took over. Just give us an opening and I'll do the rest."

Kasumi snapped, her eyes blacken and her skin pale, her school uniform changed into her Phantom thieve outfit.

"What can you do?" Kasumi's voice sounded like Kyrona's which is sadistic and sexy, "You can't think you can tear us apart. Even with her identity intact, she was not the person everybody thought they knew, she was just filling others else's shoes just to make a living!"

Kasumi's eyes were back to normal but she clutched her head and squinted, "No, you're wrong about me!"

Curse Kasumi laughed, "So your this sweet little girl they everyone likes? Or you just an exact shadow of your sibling. Face it you like me!"

"You're not me!" Normal Kasumi screeched, "You're not even my Persona!" blue flames started to dance around the redhead Phantom Thief, "Stop using my sister as an excuse to be inside of me!" the flames erupted violently.

"Huh?" Itsuki's eyes were wide.

"Itsuki-san what is happing," Mamori asked alarmed.

"Whoa she's on fire, literally" Touma said, "Man this is nuts!"

"Itsuki, look," Chrom pointed to a small white glowing spear that appeared from Kasumi's chest… as well as the silhouette of a taller mysterious form from behind.

"Well, that's new," Itsuki remarked.

"I don't know what you're trying to pull with this but it's not going to work. Give up already and be a good girl," Kyrona said with a hint of annoyance.

Kasumi's eyes were blazing with determination, "I am a good girl but you're not. I see you like to ruin others' lives for your assumed or personal gain. Where not alike." Her Ball of light, which is her performa, started to glow brightly to a point of showing small triangular particles linking between her and mysterious force.

"Keep telling yourself that you're not—wait what are you doing?!"

With Kasumi's will she revealed to the group the form of Mirage Kyrona; a giant spherical object with red neon design, it has 8 razor-sharp tentacles with flower buds.

"Uagh! You little…!" The triangular particles dance around the ball of light while linking between them.

"Now your chance!" Itsuki nodded to Chrom. The boy conjured the sword and slash the link in half.

Kyrona screamed in pain. Itsuki rushed to Kasumi before her collapse, due to lost conciseness, and lowered her gently on the ground.

"You…" the Object said, "you did this… I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"

{Switch to Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE OST - 17 - Boss Battle}

Itsuki turned his attention back to the Hostel Mirage and in a flash was in his Carnage Form once more.

Kyrona fired a laser beam but Itsuki conjured a shield to block the attack, "Sir Jack! I need you to keep Kasumi safe."

The chrome armored Jack Frost appeared and saluted, "About time you ring for my Hee-hoo help," the frost demon turned to Touma, "Hey, help me out here!"

Touma blinked, "Who, me?"

"No, not you, Ho! Him ho!" The Jack Frost pointed at Raidou. Touma faces deadpan as the Detevitved nodded and bolted towards Itsuki and Kasumi.

Tsubasa, "Mermaid, use lighting!" she shouted as she jumped up in the air.

"As you command," Mermaid shot lighting from her hands while Tsubasa cast a wind attack at the Mirage that's trying to vaporize Itsuki-kun.

Kyrona grunted while the wind and lightning spell hit her metallic shell, she used her tentacles to grab Tsubasa in as instant.

"I can't move," Tsubasa gritted her teeth as she struggled to break free from the tentitacals grip.

"Got lost you pest!"Just when Kyrona was about to crush her—

"HEY BUDDY, PAWS OFF MY LITTLE GIRL!"

Tsubasa and the rest were suspired to see a tall dark figure with a round body and mask swoop in midair and used it rapier to slash the tentitacal in half, freeing Tsubasa. As she landed on her feet as she turned around she saw what it appeared to be a van—wait minute, there a hat girl wearing a mask, holding a rocket launcher on top of the van. Tsubasa moved out of the way as the girl fired the rocket launcher at Kyrona.

Haru jumped off Morgana as he stopped and poof back to his old self again.

"Well… at least we scratched it," Haru said.

"Forget about that thing, what about Tsubasa—whoa!" the other tentacles tried to smash Haru and Morgana but that moved out of the way.

"We got it mad alright… Okay, one more time Zoro!" Morgana conjured his Persona, "Time to heat it!"

Zoro flicked his rapier to summon fireballs at the Mirage Kyrona but it did little damage.

Morgana sweatdropped, "That didn't work…"

Itsuki instantly recognized those two individuals from his vision, one of the 'Phantom Thieves' that will help them save… he doesn't want to think about it right now, the last thing he needs it to contradict himself.

"Hey, you two! If you don't mind getting smashed perhaps we can squeeze you in for a session attack," Shouted Eleonora as she released her bow at the Mirage's tentacle to froze in place.

"The cute blue-haired bow & arrow girl speaks my language," Morgana remarked as he and Haru turned his attention at the arrow girl in question.

Haru waved at Eleonora as she and Morgana ran up to her, "Thanks for allowing us to assister you miss…"

"Just call my Ellie," Eleonora nodded as her focus returned to the Hostile Mirage, "Hey Pryo you know what to do!"

The Pyro Jack appeared to, Eleonora, Haru and Morgana's side, and fired a fireball at the frozen tentacle which shattered into pieces.

Virion appeared to Eleonora's side as well, "I'll back you up!" He summoned two arrows and lunched at Mirage's shell.

Morgana was speechless, another Mirage Master beside Tsubasa-chan? Haru was surprised as well but is also delighted to meet a Mirage Master.

Two Paladin Mirage appeared and charged at anyone within the target range, they charged at Yashiro but was put down by his sword.

"Look alive Yashiro!" Shouted Touma, driving's Cain's red armored motorbike. Touma turned to the right after he spotted a masked girl on a motorbike from Cain's bike reflection. The Burnette girl catches up to him and gave him a warm reassuring smile that he lost his focus for a moment.

Touma and Makoto, riding their bikes, jumped up at Kyrona, the force send the Mirage flying backward and crashed to the wall. The pair landed and made a U-turn and stop.

"Um, that's a very impressed Mirage you got there," Makoto commented.

"Um, yea thanks!" Touma had just met this stranger and yet his face flush for some odd reason, "But we're not out of the woods."

"Agreed," Makoto nodded in agreement, "Stay sharp!"

Eleonora raised her brow at the scene.

The round Object regains its optimal altitude after being forced back by two motorcycles vehicles. The tentacles shifted into laser cannons and fired at any target on the ground.

The group dogged the lasers while Tsubasa took to the sky with Ceada's Cyber Pegasus. Morgana was in awe as he watches Tsubasa piloting her flying jet-rocket motorcycle Pegasus (That's a mouth full!).

Tsubasa steered her Pegasus vehicle around and dived down, two large golden orbs of light appeared on both sides of the Cyber Pegasus only to focus to become laser beam the moment it targeted the round Object.

The attack had damaged the shell of Kyrona's, inside she was fuming.

Futaba couldn't contain her shock inside her UFO cockpit, part of her always knew that Tsubasa is gifted but she did not think she would also get her own Mirage vehicle that a Pegasus with rocket engines that flys. The orange-haired Navi snaps out her thought when her radar detected serval Mirage Dark Flyers.

"Guys, that additional ground support will have to wait, we got upcoming bogies. I'm going to help our Pegasus rider!" Futaba put on her goggles and steered towards the action.

Oribe Tsubasa cast lighting at one dark Flyer while Mermaid, oh can fly apparently, and summoned her flaming skulls at the other.

Mermaid turned around after her notice something coming from behind her and her Mistress. Tsubasa also notices as she turned heard to her right to see a giant Flying Saucer with green neon designs.

The Saucer fired plasma projectiles at three more Mirage Dark Flyers, "Tsubasa-chan, long time no see! Don't worry I come in peace!"

"Is it a Friend of yours, Tsubasa-chan?" Mermaid and her Flame Skulls turned their attention back to Tsubasa.

"Um, I don't know but let's not think about it right now," Oribe was relieved that more helpers are dealing with the Mirage, even though she doesn't know how they are yet. She does remember Morgana, her magical talking cat teacher when she was little.

"Tsubasa, we got some upcoming Wyverns coming our way," Ceada said through Tsubasa's mind.

Oribe sighed, "Well at least we got extra help," she turned her attention back to the UFO, "Hey, and do you mind helping us out?"

"Of course, that's why I'm here!"

Meanwhile, on the ground, Yusuke joined the party however the Spear Objects attacks became furious. Itsuki couldn't get an opening thanks to Kryona's getting a bit smart and Tsubasa is busy dealing with the flying Mirage. Mirage Kryona had a shield around her shell and unless they find a weakness to break the shield it's going to be difficult.

Raidou had suggested that judging by the color of the shield that Itsuki should attack it with the opposite spell. Itsuki and Chrom agree.

"Kiria, see if you can attack it with the wind," Itsuki said. Kiria nodded, "Right," she saw the shield is red so she cast tornado.

The shield became staggered giving the party an opening to attack, during a string of session attack Kryona dogged Eleonora's arrow.

The Object then slammed on the ground for a quake attack, Morgana, Haru, Yusuke and Mamori loss their footing. Paravati helps Mamori up while the rest quickly got back up on their feet. Talia knew that this is her moment to shine and charged at the Mirage.

Talia leaped in the air and raised her sword, to which at that moment the weapon had been consumed by a ray of light. She let gravity do the work and slashed down at the monster then slashed horizontally.

"Ugh, enough of this!" The Object opens up like a flower of a rose garden to reveal a pale skin female figure. This orange-haired female wore a black revealing thorny dress and it seems to that the shell transformed into her back skirt. The skirt was not just a skirt it was like a hundred metal spider legs, which stretched as long as ten feet. Like any Mirage her blind visor is similar to spiders.

Meanwhile

"Looks like she's going to be okay," Alice said as she stood up dusting her skirt after examining the redhead unconscious human girl.

Nah sighed in relief, she did not want Chrom and Itsuki's efforts to save this girl to become all in vain.

"That's good to hear…"

Kasumi's eyes snap open and got up from the ground, "What happen? Where, Itsuki-kun, is he okay?"

Nah and Alice exchange glances then back to Kasumi, they can hear a battle going on from fare away from here.

"I have to go back," Kasumi stood up, "They don't know what they're dealing with."

"I think Chrom knows what he's dealing with," Nah rolled her eyes, "and besides that Mirage will just kill you…"

Kasumi felt helpless, how would anyone deal with that witch? Her old friends couldn't handle her so…

"I still have to be with my friends," Kasumi announced.

"The human is a gluten for punishment," Alice coldly remarked to Nah, rather loudly. Kasumi was rather hurt by the bluntness of the demon.

"Alice is right you know," Nah said, "We need to go back to Lady Tiki."

"But," Kasumi suddenly felt something warm, a white glow forming a ball of light. Her eyes widen when her Performa became active.

Nah's eyes were wide, "That's unusual…"

"What… could it mean?" Kasumi's hands hover around her Performa.

"I'm not sure but," Nah was sure she was not going to like this…

Kronya laughed as she fired dark lighting at the group, Yashiro got hurt by her attack but was held by Haru. Itsuki then tried to attack her but she dogged and kicked down. Kiria cast ice but Kronya was able to block the attack.

"That's more like it," Kronya smiled, "I think you all should surrender since you can't beat me now."

"I'm afraid not," Itsuki said as he got back up.

"I want to play with you most of all," Kronya said seductively as she approached Ituski.

Tsubasa gasped as she looked down from her Pegasus, "They're in trouble!"

"We have to take care of these guys first," Mermaid said as she spun her tail fin to knock down a Wyvern.

The rookie Idol bit her lower lip, she wanted to help Itsuki, Kiria, Touma and the others but…

"No worries Tsubasa-chan, I think I got enough legroom for this one ground base attack," Futaba said form her cockpit as she typed on the controls.

Tsubasa blinked in surprise, "Really? Thanks um, what's your name?"

"Really?" Futaba laughed while the screen verified the ground target, "Okay, well my name is not important right now. Hey, could you guys get those Flyers off my back for a moment?"

Tsubasa nodded, "Got it," she didn't ask any more questions as long as the UFO is helping them. She and Mermaid had targeted the remaining Flyers and cast their magic at them.

One by one Tsubasa and Mermaid took out all of the Mirage Flyers. Futaba fired her laser at the Mirage from the ground. Itsuki looked up to see a beam from the sky and jumped out the way. Kronya looked up as well only to get hit by the beam.

After a few minutes, Kronya came out fuming because her dress burnt, "That hurt…!" Henry the Angel ribbit summoned his Persona to attack the Mirage. But Kronya didn't bother to look and cast the Persona's attack aside.

"You better come up with a better—" Tsubasa dive kicked Mirage Kronya and tend to Itsuki's side.

"Are you okay?" Tsubasa asks urgently to Itsuki.

"Yeah," he nodded.

"That hurt too…!" Kronya got back up.

From Mermaid's twenty feet distance trapped Kronya in a bubble. Then suddenly a taller bright blue female figure appeared in the same position but seven feet apart from Mermaid. The blue figure's skin is similar to diamond and has golden locks. It raised both of its hands at the Mirage, green thorny vines started to pop up from the ground, surrounding the bubble that Kronya is trapped in and holding it in place.

"What?!"

Mermaid smirked at her new helper only to see that redhead ribbon girl approaching the scene.

"That's far enough," Kasumi said and gave Itsuki a nodded.

Itsuki was suspired that Kasumi was back up but nodded back to her. He raised his sword upwards to the sky as a beam of light burst from the sword. With intensity in his eyes before slashing down on the trapped dangerous Mirage.

Kronya screamed before she was thrown back thirty feet by the force of the attack and became uncounces.

{Stop to Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE OST - 17 - Boss Battle}

Kasumi's Persona vanished after the deed was done and Kasumi herself has collapsed on her knees.

Morgana didn't have the time to prosses what just happen but one thing is clear: He has to see if his Tsubasa-Chan is okay. He watches Kiria and Raidou's Group, tends to this redhead girl who looks like a Phantom thief.

Tsubasa stops dead in her tracks when Morgana ran up to her. Ceada appeared beside her human partner, as well as Mermaid. At first, it was excitement in seeing her teacher again after all these years worrying about Ayaha—wait, they still haven't found their sister yet and Mona-sensei has been gone for years so why is he here now?

"Mona-sensei, where have you been all this time? When I was little you said that I might forget about you after you left this world!"

Morgana's eyes widen, "You remembered?"

"You said so in my dream."

"I know… I didn't have much pleasure dropping the news… but you haven't forgotten about me so that's why I'm here, I think." Morgana brows frowned as he looks down while scratching his right ear. He then changed his mood into a happier one.

"But hey, you've grown up strong and not to mention beautiful too!" Morgana said cheerfully. Tsubasa kneeled so that she and Morgana can hold each other's hands, or paws. Both teary-eyed.

Haru and Makoto felt the need to check on Tsubasa as well but resisted the urge. Yusuke was just relived the fighting is over, for now.

{Switch to Final Fantasy 13-2 OST – Disc Two – 12 – Ruined Hometown}

"We did it!" Both Henry and Patty jumped and did a high five.

"That was soo cool! I got to thank you for inviting me, Henry!" The young girl beamed.

"You two haven't done anything during the battle," Yusuke pointed out.

Henry's ears dropped, "Fair point but we did—"

"Oh shut up, we did help!" the blue-haired girl pouted.

"No, you didn't."

"Yes, we did! You haven't seen us in action!"

Henry, with a stammered expression, looked in the other direction, "We should problem find the way out of here but first we… of course."

"Ah," Yusuke said as his attention was on the new group of people.

Kasumi opens her eyes, the first face she wanted to see was her old friends… or Itsuki and lord and behold it was Itsuki his concern face plastered over his smooth features, that's a little awkward describing it in her head. The Fortuna group was concern about her as well.

Kiria offed Kasumi a hand that she gladly accepted.

"Are you okay Kasumi-san?" Mamori asked.

Kasumi nodded and gave her a thumbs up. Mamori smiled, "Thank goodness we were very worried about you."

"…"

The Futuna Group along with Haru, Makoto, Morgana, Yusuke, Patty, and Henry became alerted when Kronya struggled to get up.

"I can't… die here."

Itsuki and Raidou was prepared to attack—

"Hold it buckos," shouted Morgana from seven feet away, "Don't you think we should take a different approach, at this point the dame is fighting for her life."

Itsuki, Raidou, and Chrom exchanged glances before nodding to the talking cat doll.

"The strange unknown creature does have a point," Chrom remarked, "But that would mean someone willing to link with her."

This made Itsuki think for a moment.

"I'll do it," Kasumi announced as she walks up to a stunned Itsuki, "Kronya and I are alike then you think."

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"We… well," Kasumi looked down on the ground before facing Itsuki, "The name Kasumi isn't my real name and this is not what I look like, at least not with my current hairstyle. As for Kronya, I had a flashback of her as a human. It's a bit of a long story."

"I see…" Itsuki said, "Please continue."

Kasumi laughed, "Kronya was an assassin for an organization and she has to power to take on many forms. The last form she took was a girl that kind of looked like me. Long story short: her master had betrayed her in the end. I can feel her confusion, anger but most of all genuine despair.

As for me… I had a twin sister, she was better than me in every way, gaining high marks in her performance. More and more I felt like I was in her shadow and more and more I hated her for it to point I wanted to be her. But..." Kasumi looked down, "I wanted to die… because I thought I was nothing I ran away from my sister."

Itsuki took a deep breath, "What happens next?"

Kasumi looked at him in the eye with somber, "after a training session, in which I was nearly hit by a car without looking. I only survived because my sister Kasumi sacrificed herself."

The Fortuna group gasped in shock, except for Yashiro and Raidou for some reason.

"I was torn, my depression worsens she die because of me and not to mention her dreams. I thought if I become her I can continue on her legacy of being an uncontested gymnast and a perfect person. It was lest I can do for her… but I never knew I would be so valuable to be manipulated by someone. I started to believe I was my sister and that the real me died in that car accident.

Kronya discovered me after I became a Persona user and a member of Phantom Thieves. Kronya for all of her faults I think we do have something in common and if things stayed that way for me would I become like Kronya, I Masquerader and a killer posing someone else?"

Itsuki tensed, he was not sure if he had the right answer for this. 'Kasumi's' back story was a lot to take in…

"How much common you have with Kronya?"

"I'd wanted everything Kasumi had so I became her copy after she died."

"I don't think you are a killer like Kronya, for what you told me Kronya chose the path of a cold Masker Assassin without the thought of what will happen next. You may be what you say you are but you're not an assassin."

'Kasumi' began to smile, "Thank you. I needed to hear that, you're right I'm not an assassin I did not kill my sister. The only thing that matters now that I must forge a new path, not for my sister nor family and friends but me."

Suddenly her Performa emerged and glowed ever so brightly and brimming with radiance.

{Switch to Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE OST - 56 - Next Generation}

'Kasumi's' Performa hovered close to her fingertips as she felt a warm relief. Even if her identity is erased the only thing she can count on is herself and her Performa, which is also her Persona in pure form. Her Cendrillon.

"I'm ready," Kasumi nodded to Itsuki.

"Are you sure about this?" He asks.

"Without her, I might not be able to get my old identity back. Plus I've seen her reach out to someone she hurt with a desperate cry for help before she was consumed by the dark void and became a Mirage. She needs us more than we need her as I believe that everyone deserved a secant chance. Besides Cendrillon and I can handle just about anything that comes to our path." The redhead girl said brimming with confidence and determination. She winked at Itsuki.

Itsuki nodded in agreement as he smiled proudly. He and 'Kasumi' walked up to Kronya while she was on her knees.

The Mirage looked up at them, she didn't utter a word. Itsuki reached out to 'Kasumi's' Performa and place it close to Kronya's chest. The redhead's Performa consumed all of the purple rectangular particles all over the Mirage's body.

Afterward, there are two flashes of light and Kronya started floated upwards, her curse form consumes by light until it stopped.

The Fortuna group saw that Mirage Kronya has a much lighter look compared to her corrupted one. Kronya's skin is still white as paint, her dress, however, is blue but a strapless gown with a black choker that showed her front legs, high pantyhoses, and high heels. Her short hair is still orange but her blind visor is similar to Kasumi's mask but dark blue. She also has blue forearm guards and a blue cloak over her shoulders.

Itsuki watched in hesitation as Kronya examined herself and new attire.

"What is this?" The female Mirage asked as she rubbed her head.

"You're welcome…?" 'Kasumi' tilted her head slightly confused.

"I don't get it… why do I feel like…" Kronya did not have an answer to this.

"This is what happens when you link together," Chrom appeared beside Itsuki, Morgana ran up to the kids and their Mirages.

"Yup, you don't feel the need to eat people or control them for that matter… call it your life sentence." Morgana said smugly.

Kronya glared at... whatever that little thing is then back at Kasumi and Itsuki, "You think that this is going to help you get your life back? Humph! Don't get your hopes up! I…" she clutched her head, it like she's forgetting something, it drives her nuts. Then she conceded.

"I'm tired and I'm bored."

'Kasumi' became hopeful. Kronya sighed, "No way around this huh? Fine, I give up, I'm yours just don't gloat about it. We may be the same but were not friends."

"Fair enough," 'Kasumi' made a wide grin, "I can't believe it… I'm a duel user like Moza-san."

"I-I I said not to gloat," Kronya stammered.

Itsuki smiled as he and Chrom watch Kronya and her now Partner making silly banters to one another.

{Switch to Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE OST - 27 - Uptown}

"Okay kid, now that hubla is over can I ask you guys who you are?" Morgana asked Itsuki.

"Oh, um," He turned to his right to meet the stern gaze of the talking cat, "My name is Aoi Itsuki."

"Itsuki? Oh, right your Tsubasa's friend," Morgana remarked. Tsubasa seeing that Mona-sensi was talking to Itsuki-kun rushed up to them.

"What are you two talking about?" Tsubasa flailed.

"This um talking cat seems to know you Tsubasa," Itsuki said.

"I'm not a talking cat you know," Morgana face deadpan.

Itsuki blinked in confusion, "But you look like a—"

"Itsuki," Tsubasa said sternly as she places her hands on her hips, "Mona-sensei is a Person, not a cat."

"Oh, right, my apologies," Itsuki scratched the back of his head.

Tsubasa had bragged on about her many quests to rescue Ayaha with the help of Mona-sensei. Morgana bragged while he transformed into a normal-looking cat. At first, Itsuki was mildly impressed but was soon became surprised that the cat's appearance is similar to the Cat that Tsubasa like to play with five years ago. Tsubasa made sure Itsuki remembered the bartender's cat, posting pitchers & drawings of her and the blue-eyed black cat.

"Are you the same cat?" He asked.

"I'm not a cat and yes I'm the only sensei for my Tsubasa-chan."

"Oh, right," Itsuki starched the back of his head.

Kiria smiled when she watched Tsubasa, Itsuki, and Morgana having a friendly chat, Ceada, Mermaid and Sir Jack Frost chimed in. The new Mirage and the other girl were in the middle of a mid-argument about who's better while Raidou & Chrom discussing tactics.

"Hey, Kiria! I'm sure it's been a while," Makoto, Haru, Yusuke, Patty and the angle ribbit Henry walked up to Kiria, Nah and the Fortuna group.

The turquoise haired girl smiled, "Well, not exactly but your close," Makoto hugged Kiria, followed by Haru.

"You know you looked even more amazing," Haru commented, "I bet you're even more popular now."

"I guess you can say that," Kiria made a small laugh.

"So, um," Touma began, "You guys are…"

"Yup! It's nice to meet you too," Haru chirped, "I'm Haru," she extended her hand to Touma, which he took as a gesture.

Makoto rolled her eyes, "You know you're not supposed to reveal our true names…"

"Oh pish-posh, these are Kiria's new friends."

"Well, fair enough. You can call me Makoto," she also extended her hand to Touma with a smile.

"It's a pleasure," Touma said politely to which Makoto giggled. Eleonora couldn't help but narrowed her eyes at the brown-haired girl and Touma's interaction.

"KIIIRIAAAA~!"

Kiria whaled around only to see Futaba pounces on her. Having the six senses to sidestep away from her former Personal Assistant she did just that and Futaba fell flat on her face.

"So close…" Futaba mumbled on the ground.

"S-Sorry about that, a-are you okay?" Kiria offered a hand to Futaba but realized she didn't need to since the Orange haired quickly got back up.

Futaba's Phantom Thief outfit changed back to her casual winter attire, "Got ya!" she hugged Kiria, as she rubbed and snuggled her face on the older girl's ample soft chest. Which earns Futaba a pump on the head.

As the Fortuna group introduces themselves to Makoto, Haru, Futaba & Yusuke, along with Patty and Henry, Tiki=Waifu looked around, "Hey, where's that Mirage Master girl with the large tits?"

Nah's eyes widen as she turned to face the composer girl, "She was just… here."

Meanwhile in Veronica's throne room.

"What a pain," Talia felt like she dislocated her right arm during that battle.

"Should have been better prepared for this…" Ursula the Blue Crow said.

"How should me and Xander know that they would be dealing with a powerful Mirage?" Talia glared at the blue-haired Valkyrie.

"I expect no less from you," Ursula laughs, "You've gained a bit of that trust from Chrom and that handsome scrunches boy."

Talia frowned, "Then I guess my assignment is over and done with?" Ursula smirked, "Why are you asking me? You should report to Lady Veronica before you enjoy your tranquility."

The Jet Black haired girl huffed, she did not want to report to that royal ungrateful little brat before tapping out, but she had no choice. Veronica WILL kill her if she doesn't.

Tomorrow Tokyo(21)

{Switch to Astral Chain OST – Emergency}

Tiffany's Cerberus pounced at Ann, and Ryuji but they dogged as well as the demons fire breath. Akira was busy avoiding the pink-haired female's sword attack, he hadn't had a chance to raise his gun but before he could Tiffany did a spun kick to Joker's chest, knocking him down.

The Joker got back up via backflip, he then decided to draw up his sword. Tiffany raised her sword upward casing it to electrifies wildly. Joker gritted his teeth while his opponent charged at him, her weapon blazing with lethal kilowatts.

Cerberus roared at Ann and Ryuji. "Sheesh! Down boy," Ryuji said as he draws up his steel pipe. Ann looked the other way to see Akria and that girl clashing swords.

"She's good…" Ann commented, "The Cerberus is just a distraction. I'll have to put it to sleep."

"And how would you do that?"

"Dump question, Ryuji," Ann summoned her Persona and cast a sleep spell.

The Joker meanwhile block varied sword attacks from the girl opponent until she knocked his sword out of his hand. He then draws up his gun but she knocked it out of his hand as well, his arm became num after the electric shock.

Tiffany's eyes showed no mercy as she raised her sword with both hands for a final strike. Ann swung her whip and wrapped around Tiffany's wrist.

"Hey, what gotten into you?" Ann demanded as she used her whip to hold Tiffany's wrist.

"I wouldn't expect you to understand." The Pink haired demon summoner of Askr, "Ayaha is the vessel of Grima and you're trying to protect her."

"Well, she's not anymore!" Ann said, "Your sister sought to it!"

Tiffany was taken aback but brushed it off right away, "That's not possible."

Ann was about to ask but a large number of police hovercars swoop in with a swat car came to the scene, the soldiers surrounded, Ayaha, Akria, Ann, Ryuji, and Tiffiany.

A griffin flew down to join the police force with a passenger, a brown-haired middle age caucasian man wearing an attire fitting of an Askrian Noble.

The Plink haired Demon summoner eyes widen in surprise, "Father? What are you doing here?"

It was Ann's cue to release her whip from her grip, her opponent quickly broke free and tend to her father.

"You and your sister have a lot of explaining to do," said Graham.

"I know but it's dangerous-"

"I am aware which is why a called the police," Graham said sternly as his hands ruffled the demon's fathers. He turned his attention to the Phantom Thieves and Ayaha, "I believe we got on the wrong foot, do mind my child."

Ann, Ryuji, and Akira exchanged glances while Ayaha looked confused and scared.

"Oh dear… have you forgot about little old me?" cooed a woman's voice, which belongs to Moza.

The four friends turned their attention to another newcomer; an attractive woman with waist-length tan-colored hair and fair skin. She wore a glitter blue strapless nightdress, her ample chest bounced lightly with each step as she casually approached the scene.

Akira, Ann, and Ryuji knew who she is right away as they meet her before but they did not think they'd run into her of all places. Moza's lips curled into a smile.

"Long time no see, my little darlings."

Next Time- Maiko and Barry reunited with Futaba. Akira, Ann and Ryuji have been sent to solitery confidment awating for Morgana's bail. Kasumi's connetion with Kronya have open a door to a mysterous dungeon based on Tharja's memory.
