(Location: ???)

A injector was on the ground with some liquid with a person with his head down as footsteps were heard.

????: guess the drugs were too much for you kid. Wake him up.

Another person threw water from a bucket as the person wakes up. His vision was blurry but sees two men in suits.

Man in Suit: no dozing off.

????: hehehe....you can't break me...you're nothing.

Man in Suit: give it up!!

He kicks him but he didn't felt any pain from the kick. He kept smiling that these men can scare him.

Man in Suit: come on, cooperate. Or what?, you want another shot?

????: do whatever your own foolish desires. But you all crumble to the dirt.

Man in Suit: what the hell do you mean?

????: the government of each country are blinded by their own desires, money, fame, power, women, even weapons that could end many lives because their dam egos. All of you people will regret it and the sins you carried will be your ticket to Hell where Lucifer himself will drag you down and make your soul in pain!! Hell even the gods like Izanagi would be disappointed how Japan has fallen, One More Time....

This caused some fear into the men. One of them gave the first man a clipboard as he gave it to the person. He signs his name on the board.

Name: Yami Minamoto.

He gave the clipboard back.

Yami: I'm expecting the humiliation of your own countrymen of following that foolish and corrupted bald ass man.

(Moments Later)

????: I never in my life that it would be you.

A beautiful in a back-length long silver hair woman asked as she sat there. She was sitting within a dimly lit room, on the opposite side of a table where Yami was sitting on.

Yami was beaten up, bruised, a little blood on his lips and obvious handcuff marks where it showed they were too tight. Yami looked like he was physically tortured badly, holding his head with deep breathing, carefully breathing from the 'interrogation' he had with the previous interrogators.

Yami: shocked it was me who was dating you, Sae Niijima.

Sae Niijima, one of Yami's girlfriends as she was shocked that Yami is one of the Phantom Thieves. She wore a black suit with faint grey butterfly-wing style tips and cuffs, black trousers with heeled shoes and black stockings, red-painted fingernails, brown eyes and a silver necklace.

Sae: for months I had a Phantom Thief that I'm dating. I thought you where going insane when your story caught up to today and you kept going.

Yami: well I'm insane for whatever reason like a man who is shape like an egg having a meltdown that he curses out Obama.

Sae: Traveled to a world in November 6, 2022 where people were trapped in a death game, saved a girl from being raped, stopped the murders of this "Death Gun", saved a girl from AIDS, fought a wanna be goddess, you defeated your brother but dies in your arms and fought in a war? Fighting something calling itself a god, all that nonsense from you.

Yami: well it's the supernatural that you couldn't figure out even "he" couldn't understand that. I know it because I've seen it before multiple times.

Sae: you say that you an "Observer?"

Yami: yeah, I came here to change the events so nobody can suffer. The many times I can only do is watch. I thought I had everything right but it wasn't enough.

He looks at Sae as his face was healed up and the handcuffs melted.

Sae: your face it's healed and those just melted!?

Yami: no matter what you throw at me, I always come back. Desires like those targets will get you killed oh how Japan has fallen because the greed of power, money and fame. No the entire world has fallen.

Sae sighs as she pulled out a folder, labelled 'Madarame' and put it onto the table, showing information and a picture of the one it was focused on, a elderly man with long grey hair tied in a ponytail and he has short facial hair. He wears traditional Japanese clothes.

Sae: this man, Ichiryusai Madarame; why did you target him?

Yami:*growls*

Sae: It seems you have a bad relationship with him?

Yami: yeah the old timeline he stolen many of his student's work and made it that he did the work.

Sae: tell me everything from the beginning. Tell me what you saw.

——

(This is much after the first palace)
A portal opened and Yani who walks out of the portal. He looks around and sighs.

Yami: okay, is everyone okay?

Sachi: loud and clear, honey.

Kirito: where are we?

He looks around to see himself in Japan, he sees the people but they were not like in Real Life. He knew that artists art style since he did the 3 games that people known about, Shigenori Soejima's creations.

Yami: Shigenori Soejima then that means I'm in Megaten Multiverse but more to the Persona Universe.

Yu: back home huh?

Minato: yeah but I wonder what happened to our friends?

Tatsuya: that's what we're worried about.

Raikou: that's also where my husband would strike.

Yami: I can change the timeline making sure everyone is okay and safe. How much money I have?

He checks in his phone and shocked to see he has infinite yen in his account.

Leafa: now way!! That much Yen!?

Yuuki: you can buy pretty much anything with that money!!

Yami: huh!? I have this much money!? Well when you play a bunch of JRPG games you get good treatment. Time to getting used that in this universe.

He checks on anything to cover his face and grabs his fox mask. He stopped as he thought about it

Yami: this mask always helps with covering my face.

He puts the mask on and began to find the Trickster himself.

(Meanwhile)
We have Ren Amamiya who is now probation. Why? Reason well he helped a woman who was assaulted by some Mr.Worldwide Wanna Be and he got arrested, now he's on probation for a year.

He was being taking cared by Sojiro Sakura the owner of Leblanc. He started out a normal student in Shujin Academy but he awaken his persona and leader of the new formed Phantom Thieves who are Ryuji, Ann and his cat Morgana.

Ren cracked his neck, having gone around the school's vending machines and picked out some much-needed drinks.

Ryuji: It's strange that you're making this a routine.

Ren: Trust me, it's worth it

Ryuji: If you say so. Damn those exams where tough.

Ren: Eh, I did okay. Sorry dude, I've got some stuff to do in Shibuya. I'll be back.

Ryuji: See ya man.

Ren headed to Shibuya, going to sell off the items in his bag, to split the profits. Also... He needed a job. Well not really but it didn't hurt. But more importantly, he needed the connection with a certain politician.

A good man who Ren didn't interact much with. Toranosuke Yoshida. But one thing he did remember, he came to the Beef Bowl restaurant, he was a ray of sun shine and the perfect person to talk to about your problems

Airsoft Owner: Hmm?

Ren: Hey. Got some stuff to sell

Airsift Owner: we'll see about that.

Airsoft Owner: Where did you get this? Never mind let's tally this up.

Ren relaxed and smiled, a bit proud of himself

Airsoft Owner: Twenty three, four, five. Silver...

Morgana wanted to poke his head out of Ren's bag to get a better listen, but it would be a problem if he was caught.

Airsift Owner: Okay. That is a solid 4,350 yen. Take it or leave it.

Ren: Thanks. I appreciate it.

Airsoft Owner: Hey Kid, I hope you're not doing anything illegal.

Ren: No, I'm not.

Airsoft Owner: Hey kid, I got a favour to ask.

Ren: What is it?

Ren turned around before the door suddenly opened and two figures walked in

Detective: Munehisa Iwai.

Iwai: Yes?

Second Detective: We need to talk. And who is this young man?

Ren: I'm actually a...

He answered before he was interrupted

Iwai: He's a customer. You can check the tapes. I've nothing to hide.

He passed the bag to Ren, a serious look on his face

Iwai: Here is your purchase. Have a good day.

Ren: Thank you.

He answered and left, leaving with the bag. Unsure what was inside of it whatever it was, it was important. He didn't really remember today well. But he did hear Iwai whisper something as he was leaving

Iwai: Don't open the bag.

Morgana: Open the bag.

Ren looked at Morgana almost immediately and scowled, but he had to admit; he was curious himself...but he didn't have the guts to do it.

Morgana: oh, shame you don't have guts to do it but if you find a way to increase your guts then you'll know about the bag.

He sighs and walks back to LeBlanc but he bumps into someone.

????: oof!!

Ren: oh sorry!! My bad!!

????: no, no it's my bad I should've watched where I was going. Do you know where I can get some coffee and curry?

Ren: oh, LeBlanc? Yeah follow me.

????: thank you ummm.

Ren: Ren Amamiya, umm.

Yami: Yami Minamoto.

Ren: Yami?

Yami: strange name since people kinda see me as some demon due to my white hair. I wear a fox mask since I see fox as interesting animals.

Ren: really? Yeah they're kinda cool.

Yami: yep!! Time to get some curry and coffee.

(Timeskip)

Both males arrived at Leblanc it was empty as Sojiro was cleaning a plate.

Sojiro: Mmm? Why did you bring a male here?

Ren: well he asked me to find a place to have coffee and curry so I brought him here.

Yami: well thank you, Ren. I'll have a cup of coffee and curry please, sir.

So Sojiro made them within a couple of minutes and put them on the counter.

Sojiro: here you go sir.

Yami: thank you. Actually I want to speak with Ren alone, here's the payment.

He handed the payment which was 679 yen plus 1000 yen.

Sojiro: really? well thanks?

He leaves as Yami eats his curry.

Yami: oh many that's a good curry, my girlfriend would be impressed.

Ren: so what do you want to talk about?

Yami: well it's about the Phantom Thieves that I've been hearing about.

Both Morgana and Ren gotten tensed up after hearing that.

Ren: what do you mean by that?

Yami: well it's how they operate. Something about changing someone's heart is impossible but with Kamoshida revealing everything that he did. It's strange.

Ren: y-yeah I though so too.

Yami: well if you or whatever has some connections tell them that don't lose your sight, don't make a name for yourselves, stay in the shadows and never get spotted or that will bite you back.

Ren: o-oh.

Yami: also if you have connections I want to make a deal.

Ren: a deal?

Yami: yes but not right now for the details.

He takes his hand out and reaches out to Ren.

Yami: deal?

Ren: deal.

He shakes Yami's hands as a different voice was heard.

I am thou... Thou art I...
Thou hast acquired a new vow...

It shall become the wings of rebellion
That breaketh thy chains of captivity.
With the rebirth of Universe/Observer Persona I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to great freedom and new power...

Ren: Universe!? Observer? What the?

Yami: man that's a good meal. Well I should be leaving now.

He leaves and pay extra for the meal as Morgana leaves out the bag.

Morgana: this guy...we have to be careful around him.

Ren: y-yeah.

(Meanwhile)

Yami who was walking to find a place to live.

Yami: oh god I nearly freaked out on meeting Ren!!

Yu: so that is our successor?

Minako: seem so, Yu.

Minato: he was shocked to hear the Universe Arcana.

Yami: yeah well I gotta find a place to live.

Sachi: honey how about that one?

Yami: mmm?

He looks up to see a apartment complex but he bumps onto someone.

Yami: oh sorry my bad.

He gets up and picks up the person as she dusted herself.

Woman: well watch out next time.

She is a tall and beautiful woman with upper-back length, ashen-brown hair that is asymmetrically parted on her right side and brown eyes that are sometimes depicted with a hint of mauve red. She wears a black business suit with a black turtleneck. Her blazer's cuffs and the lower front have clamshell-like designs. Accessory-wise, she wears a necklace of a section sign (§) which references her judicial occupation, earrings and a few dark hair clips can be seen above her right ear. She has violet fingernails and wears dark gray pantyhose with black high heels.

Yami: oh um hello umm...

Sae: Sae Nijjima.

Yami: well thank you and I'm sorry that I bumped into you.

Sae: well you are forgiven, strange where are your parents?

Yami: my father died along with my siblings, my mother went missing and I have nowhere is stay until I find my mother.

Sae: I see how about you stay with me and my younger sister?

Yami: I guess but I'll help with the cooking part. I don't want you to carry more burdens.

She walks in as he follows her to the apartment.

(Huge Skip)(5/14)

The Phantom Thieves who are in the subway station talking about a connection to Madarame a famous painter and his student Yusuke that Ann freaked out because she thought he was stalking her but it was amazed by her beauty.

Ann: when I was watching that special on TV, his artwork was pretty nice. Plus, we've gotten free tickets. Besides, this could be related to what we heard in Mementos.

Ryuji: Madarame, was it?

Ren: I'm curious too.

Morgana: Mmmmm...

Ann: that aside, what should I do about the two tickets? Wanna go appreciate some fine arts for once?

Ryuji: Fine arts, huh...

Morgana: I suggest we should go all together! Appreciating the fine arts builds character. A phantom thief who can't identify an original is lame.

Ryuji: well if everyone is going...

Ann: it's settled then!!

So they left the station and gotten to the streets. Then some thugs appeared and demanded them money.

Thug 1: Hey give us your money!!

Ann: no way!!

Ryuji: yeah get out!!

Thug 2: then have it your way.

Before they made contact, one of them got punched on his cheek as he fall to the ground.

????: thugs still wanting money? That's sad.

Ren: Yami!?

Yami: bingo, well how about you guys watch the show?

Ryuji: y-yeah sure!!

They got their distance as the 5 thugs walked up to Yami.

Thug 2: you're gonna pay for that!!

Yami: yeah sure whatever.

3 of them taken out wooden sticks as one of them had a taser on him.

Yami: weapons? You are cowards. Come on!! Get me!!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

He cracked his knuckles and his neck. The four persona users see a blue aura surrounding Yami as he was ready, the taser thug thrust but he dodges the attack. He grabbed the thug's arm and slams it with his knee causing the thug to drop the taser.

Yami: too slow!!

He did quicksteps dodging their attacks. He uses the taser and tased the thighs that he taken his taser as he was stunned and fell to the ground. He sees one the thugs as he swings the wooden katana but he counters it with a knee to the stomach.

Ryuji: look at him go...

He blocks some punches until he pushes them away and punches back. He hits them on each body part as they were getting weaker.

Ann: holy crap, he taken these guys out like it's a normal thing for him. He's kinda hot...

Yami: all bark but no bite.

He walk towards a downed thug, grabbed his head and punched him hard. Some of the people winced of the pain they saw. Yami then switches to Rush Style as a magenta aura surrounds him as his punches went fast.

Morgana: woah, his movements are fast!!

One thug thought he can block the attack but Yami punches the left side of his head, then his chin letting go thug's block to have Yami punch his stomach, next the left side of his head again and finally a high kick to the right side of the thug's head. This ended the fight as Yami sighs.
(End battle theme)

Yami: this has no future for people.

He walks towards Ren and his group as he waves his hands.

Yami: nice to see you, Ren.

Ren: y-yeah nice to see you again, Yami.

Ryuji: you two know each other?

Ren: no we meet like yesterday.

Ann: those moves they're like straight out of a movie.

Ryuji: or a video game!!

Yami: well I've been practicing those moves a lot. Really worth it.

One of the thugs got up grabbed the wooden katana and tried to attack Yami. But he was punched in the face as Yami catches it.

Yami: you're too easy to predict that's it's pathetic.*fake coughs* sorry about that.

Ryuji: yeah that's fine.

Yami: how about I treat you guys in some food?

Ann: are you sure? We just met you well Ren met you like yesterday.

Yami: well I want to speak to new people.

They thought for a bit until they agreed to walk with Yami. They went to Big Bang Burger and ordered their meals while Yami ordered the challenge.

Ann: that's one tall burger!!

Ryuji: that would be impossible!!

Ren: I need to increase my guts to do this.

So Yami crack his knuckles before eating the tall burger. He eats it in small bites before eating in large bites while drinking soda.

Staff: congratulations you finish the Comet Burger Challenge!! Here's your 2nd Mate Badge!!

She handed him the badge as he thank her. Yami looks at the trio as they were shocked.

Yami: what?

Ryuji: how...

Ann: did you...

Ren: do that!?

Yami: slow bites until it becomes smaller and take big bites but taking a soda break so you won't get a heart attack.

Ryuji: anyways what do you want ti talk about?

Yami: it's something about the Phantom Thieves.

This made Ann and Ryuji flinched a bit but Yami chuckles but he checks his phone.

Yami: oh I gotta leave!! I'll see you later someday!!

He leaves the place as the two looked at their leader with worried looks.

Ann: does he know about us?

Ren: I don't know but we have to be careful around him.

Ryuji: yeah he's gotta be hiding something.

Morgana: now we have to be more careful on what we say to him.

They nodded, leaving the place and split to go back to their homes so they can rest.
