The Political Gangster of Gluttony

>It’s time!

Let’s show Sugimura how a real winner does it.

The time has come to teach him a lesson he’ll never forget.

And I’m glad we can help with this. Thanks for letting us come.

Woof!

Fine. As long as the dog doesn’t start chewing on the seats. Or worse.

>With that, Mona becomes our van and we drive off.

>In a penthouse in the Wilton Hotel, Sugimura was sitting on the sofa and looking at the calling card we sent him after the qualifying matches. Yuuki then walks in.

You’re still looking at that?

How could this have happened!? I have no time for this foolishness.

Yuuki: Heh! I didn’t think you would believe in this change of heart they talk about.

Sugimura: Have you forgotten what happened to Okumura? I can’t take any chances of the same thing happening to me.

Yuuki: Tch! I’m not scared of them. They’re just pathetic losers. Someone of your status should know that.

>With that, he leaves Sugimura alone... Big mistake.

?????: He’s the real loser! As are you for cheating the tournament.

Sugimura: !

>The red wave passes the parlor had become more luxurious in a gaudy way. And Sugimura was replaced by his Shadow.

Shadow Sugimura: Back again, I see.

Hope you’re ready for this!

Too many fighters lost because of you and they worked so hard.

The hopes and dreams of those warriors were destroyed by how much you wish for power.

No one should have to suffer by all the damage you have done.

Basically, what you’re doing STINKS!

We can’t just sit ideally by and watch you destroy other people’s lives for your own gain.

Shadow Sugimura: What do yous know? You all live beneath me. Even Haru is no different, despite her fortune.

Noir: Because even if we are beneath...

That doesn't you’re above everything else.

Joker: Taget: Sugimura Sekitan. The time has come to take your heart.

Ken: And the darkness that comes with it.

Koromaru: Grr!

Shadow Sugimura: (looking dangerious) No one’s takin’ anythin’ from me! Men, take down the Phantom Thieves!

>Two gangster Shadows appear to join Sugimura’s Shadow and take to their aggressive forms.

Oracle: Let’s see what we’ve got here tonight. Persona!

>Necronomicon scans the two Shadows and Shadow Sugimura.

Oracle: The two Koumokuten are weak to Ice. And of course, Sugimura’s weak to Psychokinesis.

Noir: Then I’ll be fighting as well.

Fox: As will I.

Ken: Mind if I get in on this, too? Apart from Light, I can also heal.

Joker: Alright then, let’s do this.

>I change Personas.

Joker, Noir, Fox, and Ken: Persona!

(Insert song: Nothing Is Promised)

>One of the Koumokuten uses Matarukaja while Shadow Sugimura uses Brain Shake on Fox. Luckily, he wasn’t Brainwashed. Sui-Ki uses Mabufula which knocks the Koumokuten down. I pass the baton to Noir who has Milady use Psio on Shadow Sugimura which also knocks him down.

Ken: “I’ve been waiting for this moment!” ... I’ve been working on my Akihiko.

Noir: It sounds perfect.

Ken: Good. Now let’s go!

>After the attack, the two Koumokuten were still standing, but now weak, as was Shadow Sugimura. Milady once again uses Psio on Sugimura’s Shadow and knocks him out again. Then, Noir passes the baton to Fox who has Goemon use Mabufula again and knocked the two Koumokuten again.

Oracle: Wow. You guys are on a roll.

Joker: Guess we’re better than we thought. Now let’s do this!

>After the attack, the two Koumokuten were gone.

Noir: He’s the only one left.

Fox: I will handle him.

Ken: Me too!

>Goemon uses Tempest Slash and Kala-Nemi uses Cruel Attack. Neither one was strong enough to completely take down Shadow Sugimura.

Shadow Sugimura: Useless idiots! No matter, I can handle these mooks myself. Get ready, I am no mere gun like the others you’ve faced. Now... Prepare to die!

Oracle: Seriously? We’ve already fought him in this form.

Shadow Sugimura: (a mixture of his human and robotic voice) You will find that I have few more tricks up my sleeves. You see, I know what happened in Okumura’s Palace. About my cognitive existence. But I am nothing like that weak fool... See for yourself.

>Shadow Sugimura uses Mafreidyne. Me and Noir were knocked down. Shadow Sugimura then attacks again with Brain Buster. Both Fox and Ken were Brainwashed.

Oracle: Hold on! Support’s on the way!

>Necronomicon uses Mediarama to heal us. I get back up and change Personas.

Joker: Persona!

>Parvati uses Energy Show to restore Fox’s and Ken’s senses.

Fox: Forgive me, Joker. I let my guard down.

Joker: It’s no your fault, Fox. We underestimated him.

Noir: (getting back up) But we can still fight. Rush him, Milady!

>Milady uses Psiodyne. Unfortunately, Shadow Sugimura dodged it. Goemon uses Masukukaja to speed us up.

Ken: Let’s hope this works. I’ve been working on it while we were going around this place. Go, Kala-Nemi!

>Kala-Nemi uses Kougaon. It took a lot of health from Shadow Sugimura.

Shadow Sugimura: That’s quite powerful... But not good enough.

>Shadow Sugimura uses Life Drain on Ken. It took a lot out of him and healed Sugimura a lot. I had Parvati use Diarahan to heal Ken.

Ken: Thanks.

>Milady uses Psiodyne again. This time, it hit Shadow Sugimura and knocks him down.

Noir: Time to punish them!

>After the attack, Shadow Sugimura was still standing, but now getting weaker. Goemon uses Deadly Fury and Kala-Nemi uses Vile Assault.

Shadow Sugimura: No! I won’t let this happen! You will suffer!

>Shadow Sugimura uses Mafreidyne. It was hard on us, but thankfully, Noir dodged it.

Oracle: He’s almost down!

Joker: We’re nearly done. Let’s do this!

>Parvati uses Psiodyne. However, Shadow Sugimura dodged it.

Shadow Sugimura: You fools! Do you think you can ever stop me!? I am the greatest and most powerful in all of Japan. All of the world!

Noir: Only in your mind, my former fiance. Joker’s attack my not have finished you...

But that mean I can show you that Kala chan is not the only one who’s learned a new trick. Milady!

>Milady uses Phycho Force. It was supper effective on Shadow Sugimura as it knocked him down good.

Shadow Sugimura: I won’t allow this to happen!

Noir: It’s too late for that now. ATTACK!

>After the attack, the Shadow resumes his human form. Then, the painting behinds him opens.

Mona: Yes! The Treasure is ours!

>Sugimura’s Treasure was pretty much the same as Kanashiro’s. A briefcase full of money.

Joker: I hope you understand now. Being rich doesn’t always mean you have the power to do whatever you want. Especially if all it does is hurt people. Kind of makes me feel sorry for Joe Yuuki.

Shadow Sugimura: He’s just a dumb muscle man. He can’t really do anything without me. He wants to become number one? That’s a child’s dream.

Ken: I know that he wants to become number one by any means necessary, even if it means pushing others away and putting them down. But I’m sure all he needs is a chance. A chance to know that it’s not all about him. A lesson you, yourself, should learn. If you want your family’s reputation to be restored, don’t do this. Don’t cheat in the tournament.

Shadow Sugimura: ... Alright. If I want to remain rich, if not in money, then in reputation, I shouldn’t be such a Scrooge. I should treat others fairly and not look down on them. It’s not about the money, it’s about seeing others happy. Because as long as they are happy, I should be happy as well.

Noir: Sounds like something my grandfather once said. Keep to that promise and you will see what we mean...

And who knows, maybe you will find someone you can spend the rest of you life with.

Shadow Sugimura: ... I will.

>With that, the Shadow returns to his true self. We take the Treasure and we leave the fading Palace.

>The next day, Christmas Eve. The last day of the Fight Before Christmas. We, Boss, Ken, Akihiko, Koromaru, Chie, and Yukiko were all at Cafe Leblanc waiting for Joe when we heard on the news.

News Caster: Good Morning, Japan! Before we bring you our breaking news, we would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Now, on to our story: Last night, Sugimura Sekitan, the son of a known politician who was forced into resignation after he was discovered to be a close supporter of Masayoshi Shido, had confessed to sabotaging matches in the Fight Before Christmas Tournament to ensure that the fighter he sponsored, Joe Yuuki, would come out the victor. Sugimura is currently in holding for furthering questioning. As for Yuuki, he was not happy to hear that victories up to the final day were a lie and requested to drop out of the tournament... However, his fiance, Maki Takakura, daughter of retired boxer, George Takizawa, Yuuki’s coach, Yuuki’s fans, and even Yuuki’s long time rival, Joe Akamine, managed to convince Yuuki to continue participating. More news on this as it unfolds and the last day of the tournament shall proceed.

Well done, everyone!

Koromaru: Woof!

You bet! Hey, Ren, let’s see the Treasure.

>I show them the Treasure. In the Metaverse, the briefcase was full of money, but in reality, the briefcase had a bottle of champagne and expensive looking champagne glasses.

I’ve seen those before. Sugimura’s mother purchased them for mine and Sugimura’s wedding. I guess he kept them in case I changed my mind... Which would never happen.

That’s probably a good thing you didn’t marry him. You way too dependent for that.

Haru: More like, I just have others in mind.

Thank you, Haru.

This is turning into a wonderful Christmas. Especially since all of you made the last day.

Yes, congrats. Me, Futaba, Koshu, and his daughter are already setting up a party at their restaurant.

You should see what we’ve got in store.

Boss: Just as long as we tune it down with the light show.

It was just one little power outage. Sheesh.

Ryuji: Oh yeah, the reminds me: Akechi said he and the guys in New York saw the tournament online. They wanted to wish us luck.

That’s great. I hope we can meet them again soon.

Ryuji: That’s is something else I want to say...

We can!

>We all stared in surprised.

Ryuji: As a Christmas gift to his favorite students, Max and Hector are taking Peter, Harry, Miles, Gwen and Anya with them and Akechi to Japan for New Years!

Ryuji, that’s wonderful news.

C'est magnifique. You must all maybe happy that your friend is bringing in more friends.

Kind of makes me wish the rest of our friends were here to see the fight.

Ken: They watching it online and we’ll spend New Years with them.

Koromaru: Arf!

Mitsuru: The preparations are already complete. 3 days in Tokyo Destinyland. Sounds like the perfect way to spend the first day of the new year.

Ann: I wish we could go too, but knowing our friends will be there, we might not be able to.

Ryuji: They’re staying until the 5th. I think we might have time.

>Then, the door of the cafe opens and Joe comes in.

Makoto: We heard what you did on the news. We think you did an honorable thing.

Thanks. I know me and Yuuki are rivals, but I know he really wanted to do this. It wasn’t easy trying to convince him, but me and Maki managed to do it.

Mitsuru: I commend you for that.

Joe: Again, thanks... And thanks again for the change of heart. Anyway, me and Ryuichi will be waiting for you at the station.

Ren: Right. See you there.

>With that, Joe leaves for the station to wait for us with Ryuichi.

Boss: I take it he knows.

Futaba: Yuta told him, no thanks to the King telling Yuta in the first place.

Will we be okay with that?

Ren: We trust Joe and Yuta. They hasn’t told Ryuichi or Setsuko or anyone else. We can be thankful for that.

Boss: Right. Well, you best be off.

>With that, we make our way to the station, knowing that we have competed another successful heist and we all made it to the final matches of the Fight Before Christmas.

Phan Cam: Horizon Heist: Day 25

>The Arena of Wrath (Peter and Harry’s Palace). We came here, stronger than we can possibly get. Now we were ready. The Shadow at the entrance to the main arena said we needed tickets. One for each of us. Except for Mona, animals get in free.

I would normally be offended about that, but if it means we only need to find eight tickets, alright, I’ll go with it.

That’s the spirit, Mona. Now come on, let’s go find those tickets.

>We searched around the building we found an unusual Shadow guard.

Shadow guard: So you want a ticket to get in? You want it? Come get it... If you can!

>The Shadow then changes form.

Is it just me or does this Shadow seem popular as guards?

Be careful, guys. Something’s different about it.

Queen: I know. Leave it to me. Persona!

>Johanna uses Flash Bomb. Though the Oni resisted, he was still left Dizzy. He tried to attack, but missed entirely. Then, Johanna used Atomic Flare and the Oni was gone. All that was left was a ticket.

Yes! We got the first ticket.

>Queen takes the ticket.

Harry’s voice: Pete, give it to me straight, I’ll never get out of my father’s shadow, will?

That voice! Are we hearing... Peter’s and Harry’s thoughts?

Peter’s voice: ... No, Harry, you won’t. He won’t allow it.

Harry’s voice: He won’t? I hate him.

Peter’s voice: I know... I hate him too. What’s the use of having these powers if I can’t kill him with them?

Harry’s voice: Yeah. I want to kill him too. But at least we have each other.

Peter’s voice: I know. Thank you for being by my side, Harry.

Harry’s voice: You too, Pete.

So this is how they really feel about Norman Osborn. I don’t blame them. Though, death may be too merciful.

Same here. I know Osborn can be a bit of a dick, but heart or no heart, he’s gotta atone for what he did to Harry.

Queen: We should move on. We got one ticket and there are only seven more to go.

>We went further around the arena building until we happened upon a snack bar run by a female Shadow.

Shadow worker: What can I get you tonight?

A ticket to the upcoming fight if you will.

Shadow worker: If that’s what you want, I’m going to need... $1200. (¥133653)

That is propitious! I would rather spend that much on a ticket to Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Shadow worker: Good... I’m not suppose to give it to you anyway. But if you want it that badly... Come take it!

Fox: Then so be it. Persona!

>Goemon uses Bufula. However, Pixie dodged it.

Oracle: At least Pixie’s not such a strong Shadow. You should take care of her, no sweat.

Pixie: Or is it? Guess this candy girl will do her job. Here, sweets to the sweet!

>Pixie uses Marin Karin. It got him good. And in his Brainwashed state, he uses Sukukaja on Pixie to make her even faster.

I don’t think so.

>I come in and use Relax Gel and snap him out of it.

Fox: Forgive me, Joker. I got careless.

Joker: It’s alright, Fox. Oracle did say the Shadows here would different. But we shouldn’t give up. Persona!

>Arsene uses Sukunda. Pixie’s agility goes back to what it was. Then, Goemon uses Bufula again, This time, it got her.

Fox: I don’t need an all-out. I can handle it here.

>With one swipe of his sword, Fox finished off the Pixie. All that was left was a ticket. Fox picks it up as the voices returned.

Ben’s voice: Peter, I know you’re going through some changes. It’s alright. You’re becoming the man you were meant to be.

Peter’s voice: Shut up! Just shut up!

Ben’s voice: Just remember, Peter. With great power, comes great-

Peter’s voice: I SAID SHUT UP! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST SHUT UP! To hell with it all! Becoming Spider-Man was the worst thing to ever happen to me. I lost everything because of him. My hopes. My dreams. My life... I even lost Harry because of that... That... Menace. Great power? Great responsibility? Don’t make me laugh... God, I miss my glasses.

So he thinks becoming Spider-Man has ruined his life. I kind of know how feels. I got involved with Shido and it ruined my life.

Noir: But we managed to someway fix it up. Just as we’ll do with Peter and Harry.

... You’re right. Thanks, Noir. Let’s keep at it.

>As we moved on, Noir thought about something. Perhaps she has been hard on Crow. She’ll need to think about it more.

>We moved on further until we came upon a souvenir booth being minded by a Shadow. It looked like we might be able to search the booth for a ticket.

Mona: Better let me handle this, Joker. Being the smallest one, I can search the booth without being noticed.

Joker: Alright, but be careful.

>Mona sneaks up to the booth. After searching the back of the booth for a while, Mona finally found a ticket.

Got it.

Panther: Way to go, Mona.

>Mona was just leaving the booth when... He noticed a toy spider hanging nearby. He couldn’t help but feel entranced by it.

Skull: Damn cat’s going to give us away. Mona, snap out of it.

Mona: I... Can’t... Help it.

>And just like a cat, Mona was playing with the toy spider until the stick it was connected to fell over and made a sound that woke the Shadow.

Shadow: Hey! Give that ticket back, you pesky feline!

Mona: That can’t be good. Persona!

>Zorro uses Garula. It managed to knock Queen Mab down. Then, Mona attacked with his sword. After the attack, she get back up and uses Wind Wall.

Queen Mab: Try to beat that, hair ball.

Mona: ... Okay. Zorro, show your might!

>Zorro uses Miracle Punch which easily knocks Queen Mab down again. Then, with another hit from Mona’s sword, the Shadow was gone.

Sorry, Joker. I let myself get distracted.

Joker: It’s alright, Mona. It happens to the best of us. Even I get distracted sometimes.

Mona: Really? Thanks, Joker. Here, you better hold on to it. I can already get in for free.

>I take the ticket.

Joker: Thanks, Mona.

Norman’s voice: I would say congratulations for being exonerated. But you know I would never believe you to be at fault.

Harry’s voice: ... Yes you would. And this wasn’t even my fault. Or Spider-Man’s.

Norman's voice: But I just have to wonder... Why return to Horizon High?

Harry’s voice: Because Peter is there and I want to be with him and not you. I want to be with all my friends.

Norman’s voice: Sure, they have equally impressive equipment, but do they have your back? It certainly didn’t seem so during your suspension.

Harry’s voice: Of course they do. Much more than you ever had. I don’t need or want your help. So keep your tie to yourself. I don’t need a chain.

Norman’s voice: Make no mistake, Harry! No matter what you accomplish in life, you will always have the name I provided you. So why not take advantage of all that comes with it?

Harry’s voice: Because I hate having this name. You can have it back. I never wanted it anyway.

Norman’s voice: Harry, I poured my heart and soul into the Osborn Academy so to save you the embarrassment of crawling back to that school. How would it look if you abandon me?

Harry’s voice: I don’t care. All you ever do is criticize me.

Norman’s voice: I beg you, as your father, please stay.

Harry’s voice: ... You are not, never was, and never will be my father. I just want to be with my friends... I want to be with Pete. No one else. Why can’t you understand that, Norman?

Harry...

Queen: His father only saw Harry as something he could own rather than love. What an awful man.

...

Queen: Is something wrong, Noir?

Noir: It’s just, after hearing this, I just realized, even though he’s connected to Skull, Harry’s story... Is similar to mine. All Harry wanted to do was find his own way in life. To be free. Free from a world where his life has been planned in advance and to away from his father. He wanted to be with his friends. With people who truly love him for him. But his father wouldn’t let him have even that. How could he do that to him? To his own son.

I’LL NEVER FORGIVE HIM!

>She then turns and goes over to Crow.

But I am ready to forgive you.

Really!? You are?

Noir: I know that you killed my father, but it was your own who made you do it. Masayoshi Shido was a monster. Norman Osborn is no different. The only difference is that Osborn’s heart is untakeable because he doesn’t have a heart for us to steal. But he will be punished... Through his son. So, Akechi, I forgive you.

Thank you, Haru chan.

>They hug it out and we move on.

>Later on, we happen on a Shadow doing some ticket scalping.

Shadow: Attention, folks! I only have two tickets left and I’m selling them at the reasonable price of $1000 (¥110875). Each.

Oracle: Reasonable price my butt. That’s $2000 (¥221750) for both.

Queen: Maybe we can convince him to lower the price.

Fox: I believe this is where Panther comes in.

What!? Oh, alright. As long as I don’t have to do something degrading.

>We made a quick stop at a nearby Safe Room. When Panther came out, she was wearing a different outfit.

How does that succubus even walk in this thing? I feel like I’m wearing my panties on the outside... I said, I feel like I’m wearing my panties on the outside.

>Skull was silent. Usually, he would be wide eyed about things like this.

Joker: Sorry, Panther. I guess Skull is still thinking about Harry’s true thought earlier. But don’t worry about it. Just focus on the plan.

Panther: Okay, wish me luck.

>Panther goes up to the Shadow.

Panther: (in an ‘innocent’ voice) Excuse me. I heard you have two tickets left. I don’t have much money, but can you perhaps lower the price for me? Please~?

Shadow: Hmm. For you, baby, how about I give them to you on the house. That is, if you will do something for me.

Panther: And, what would that be?

Shadow: How about... A kiss?

(thinking) The things I do for this job.

>Panther and the Shadow leaned in close... And then she took the tickets before lips could meet. Panther backed away quickly.

Panther: (relieved) Whew! That was close.

Shadow: Hey, you tricked me, little thief! I’ll make you pay for that!

Panther: (resuming her thief form) Persona!

>Narcissus uses Nocturnal Flash. Thankfully, Panther dodged it. Carmen uses Agilao. It knocked him down good. Panther attacks again with her whip. When Narcissus got back up, he once again uses Nocturnal Flash and this time managed to make her Dizzy. Panther had Carmen use Agilao again, but she missed.

Panther: Damn! This could be bad.

Oracle: Hold on, Panther. Super move! Ultra Charge! Persona!

>Necronomicon Charges Panther. Narcissus uses Mediarama to heal himself.

Panther: Okay, here goes!

>Panther attacks. It was a critical hit and Narcissus was down.

Panther: Dance, Carmen!

>Carmen uses Blazing Hell. When it was over, the Shadow was gone. Panther gives Oracle the other ticket.

Panther: Here, take this as thanks for your support.

Oracle: You’re welcome.

Peter’s voice: I wanted to say a few words about why we’re all here tonight: To welcome back Harry Osborn to Horizon High. As you know, Harry couldn’t be with us for a while... And all because of that no good, rotten Spider-Man. And during that time, I think we all felt something. Something that wasn’t there before... I know I felt it most of all... A void... A void in this school and my heart. And that’s because Harry has such a big presence. His heart is bigger, his dreams are bigger... His love is bigger... And his generosity is massive... Of course, the same can be said for his ego. (laughs a bit) But I’ll take it all, because that void has been filled again, and I’m happy to say... Welcome back, pal... I love you.

Harry’s voice: Thank you, everyone. Thank you. You’ve all worked so hard to make this such a special night. Which makes what I’m about to say even harder... I’m... I’m more than happy to be back. Back here at Horizon High. Osborn Academy may be close to the man who calls himself my father, but this will always be my true home... A place where I can live my own life. With the people who care about me and I care about them... Especially Peter Parker... I love you, too, man.

Panther: Gwen told me about this. This is the night of the dance. To celebrate Harry coming back to Horizon. He chose to stay at Oz Academy. But I guess that’s not what their cognition wanted.

Skull: Yeah, this is what Harry truly desired.

Crow: And what Peter truly felt.

Noir: And Norman Osborn wouldn’t have it.

Joker: We better go. We have five tickets. Only three to go.

>We moved on. We happen upon a Shadow who was supporting Harry.

Shadow: I just know Hobgoblin’s gonna win. I just wish Venom could take it easy on him.

Skull: ... You better let me deal with this guy. After hearing Harry’s thoughts and being connected to his mind the longest, I think I might be able to do something.

Joker: Alright. Be careful.

>Skull walks up to the Shadow.

Skull: Hey, I’m a fan, too. Got an extra ticket?

Shadow: Maybe, that is if you’re a true fan. Just answer this little quiz about Hobgoblin. It’s just three questions so it won’t take long.

Skull: Fine. Bring it on.

Shadow: Good. Now, here’s the first question: Who is Hobgoblin’s mother?

Skull: Emily Osborn.

Shadow: Correct! Then again, anyone could look that up. Next question, I won’t go so easy this time: When is Hobgoblin’s birthday?

Skull: December 31, 2000.

Shadow: Correct! No many people can answer that. Alright, here’s your last question: What... Is his greatest dream?

... To be free.

Shadow: That’s... (irritated) Correct! Damn! I don’t have an extra ticket, only the one. But if you want it... Come get it.

Skull: Persona!

>Makami uses Tarunda. Luckily, it didn’t work. Captain Kidd uses Zionga. It knocked Makami down. Skull attacked again. It was a critical hit. After another attack, Makami got back up.

Queen: Be careful, Skull. I have a feeling he’s about to do something bad.

Makami: And now for the knock out!

>Makami uses Dream Needle. It puts Skull to sleep. He could do nothing but snore after that. But at least he regain some health and energy from it. Then, Makami uses Double Fangs. It hurt a lot what with Skull asleep, but it was enough to wake him.

Skull: Okay, now it’s personal. Let’s go, Captain!

>Captain Kidd uses Assault Dive. It was a critical hit and Makami was down. Captain Kidd uses Assault Dive again. After the attack, the Shadow was gone. Skull takes the ticket.

Skull: Got it! I wonder what’s going to happen now.

Peter’s voice: What am I doing with myself? Uncle Ben said I should become a scientist, but he also said I should be Spider-Man. Trying to be both is just too much.

Harry’s voice: I hear you, Pete. Being the son of Norman Osborn is becoming a pain. Trying to get out of his shadow is just as hard as well. Living in a world where everyone knows who I am and have expectations. I can’t take it anymore.

Peter’s voice: I know that, too. My friends and family expect me to become a great scientist, just like my father. At the same time, the whole city expects me to do great things as Spider-Man. Well, everyone but Jameson. Maybe he’s right. All these things have been happening ever since I became Spider-Man.

Harry’s voice: And I actually agreed with him. I ended up despising Spider-Man for everything wrong in my life... Not knowing it was you under that mask. Now I’m torn. I just don’t know what to do. I can’t stand it. I wish all of it would just disappear. That things were different. But that will never happen here.

Peter’s voice: Then... Why don’t we run away? You know, leave this place. Leave New York. Leave this life of ours. Go someplace where we can start over. Start a new life.

Harry’s voice: Yeah. A place where no one’s even heard of New York. Never even heard of Oscorp, Oz Academy, Horizon High, the Daily Bugle... Never even heard of Spider-Man.

Peter’s voice: Our personal Paradise. Where we can be whatever or wherever we want... But let’s be practical, no such place exists.

Harry’s voice: Actually, that may not impossible.

Peter’s voice: Really? How so?

Harry’s voice: Well, you’re going to find this hard to believe, but... Before we started dreaming about the Phantom Thieves, I often had this dream of a far off place where...

>The voices become silent.

Noir: It sounded like they wanted to escape. Someplace where they can be together.

Queen: And what was that about that dream Harry had before we came along?

Panther: I don’t know.

Crow: Maybe if we continued on and find more tickets, we’ll know.

Joker: Right. Let’s go.

>We moved on a bit further around the Palace. Then we happen upon an open set of door leading back stage. We walked through the hallway until we happened upon a window with a machine on the other side.

Noir: This must be where they make the tickets.

Crow: Good. If we had known about this sooner, we would have finished this a while ago.

Joker: It’s not your fault, Crow. Tickets are normally made elsewhere.

Queen: It looks like there are two Shadows guarding it.

Crow: You better let me handle this.

Noir: I’m coming with you. You might need some help for this.

Crow: Right. Just be careful.

>Crow and Noir enter the room.

Shadow 1: Hey, what do you think you’re doing!? You want a ticket? Go buy it.

Crow: True... But this is more cheaper.

Shadow 2: Man, you got a mouth on you. We’ll just have to show you some manners.

Noir: Just try it.

Shadow 1: So be it.

Crow and Noir: Persona!

>Rakshasa uses Tarukaja on himself. Thoth uses Psy Wall on himself.

Oracle: Be careful. That Wall will protect his weakness.

Noir: Don’t worry, I know another way.

Crow: I have faith in you, Noir. Now go, Robin Hood!

>Robin Hood uses Kouga on Rakshasa. It knocked him down.

Baton Pass!

Here goes! Rush them, Milady!

>Milady uses One-shot Kill on Thoth. It was a critical hit.

Noir: Now let’s get them! Time to punish them!

>After the attack, Rakshasa was left weak and Thoth was still standing. Rakshasa attacks with Giant Slice on Crow. It took major health from Crow, but was enough to finish Rakshasa. Thoth uses Megido. Thankfully, it wasn’t that harmful.

Crow: You call that an Almighty attack? This is an Almighty attack. Now, Robin!

>Robin Hood uses Megidola. It was harmful enough to completely lower Thoth’s health.

Noir: And now to finish this!

>Noir takes a big swing of her ax and the Shadow was gone. After working the machine, we printed two tickets. Making a total of eight.

Queen: That should be all of them.

Harry’s voice: Before we started dreaming about the Phantom Thieves, I often had this dream of a far off place where... Where the skies are in eternal daybreak. A vast beautiful landscape with a town not to far. And in this town, a huge castle-like clock tower. It’s all so serene. And the people... And this going to sound weird... The people... The people have swords that look like keys.

Peter’s voice: (laughs a bit) Sounds like something out of a video game. But still, sounds like a great to go. The way you describe how peaceful it is, it’s almost like... Like you were actually there.

Harry’s voice: Don’t I know it? I feel like I should be there. And I want to be there. And... Pete, I want you to come with me. In that world, we don’t have to worry about things like Oscorp or Spider-Man. Together in that world... We’re free.

Peter’s voice: That would be great, Harry. I know Aunt May will be alone with me gone, but I can’t stand being away from you, either. I love you, Harry Osborn. More than you can ever know.

Harry’s voice: I love you, too, Peter Parker. Even more than my ‘father’.

I see. That sounds like a fantastic place to go.

Swords shaped like keys? Could he mean...

Panther: It sounds that way.

Skull: I wonder... Could this be like what happened on Thanksgiving?

Joker: Could be.

Mona: We have all the tickets we need. Now can get into the main arena. Let’s show them to that Shadow.

>We returned to the entrance to the main arena and showed the Shadow the tickets.

Shadow: What!? That’s not possible!

Joker: Now will you let us in?

Shadow: Let me think... No. I won’t let you in. It’s Venom’s and Hobgoblin’s orders not to let the Phantom Thieves in. Now beat it! ... Or do I have to make you?

Mona: Tch! We should have done this from beginning.

Be careful, guys. This guy is really strong. Your best chance is with Nuclear and Psychokinesis.

Queen: Good. But for extra measure, we better use our Ultimate Personas?

Noir: Right. I was thinking the same thing.

Mona: I’ll help too.

Joker: So will I.

>I change Personas while Queen, Noir, and Mona change to their Ultimate Personas.

Joker, Queen, Noir, and Mona: PERSONA!

>Kohryu uses Concentrate to help me with my next spell. Anat uses Marakukaja to boost our defense. Astarte uses Tetrakarn on Mona. And Mecurius uses Masukunda to lower Abaddon’s speed.

Go! Power up!

>Necronomicon uses Matarukaja to raise our strength.

Abaddon: Taste my fury!

>Abaddon uses Gigantomachia. Luckily, Mona was protected, but Abaddon absorbed the attack and we got it bad.

Joker: We are not done yet. Go, Kohryu!

>Kohryu uses Psycho Force. It was strong and managed to get Abaddon down. I decide not to use an All-Out-Attack this time. Anat uses Freidyne and Astarte uses Psiodyen to further hurt it. Mercurius uses Mediarahan to fully heal us. Abaddon got back up.

Abaddon: You... Shall not... PASS!

>Abaddon uses Taunt on Noir. Noir becomes enraged.

Oracle: Be careful, everyone. Noir’s not happy right now.

Joker: Don’t worry, I’ll stop it before she does anything.

>Kohryu uses Psycho Force again. Unfortunately, it missed. Anat uses Atomic Flare. That missed too.

Oracle: Come on, you guys! Don’t give up!

>Then, Astarte uses One-shot Kill which Abaddon absorbed. Mona uses Harisen Recovery and snaps Noir back to normal.

I’m sorry!

Mona: It’s alright, Noir. It happens. We didn’t expect this Shadow to do that.

Joker: It won’t get away with this.

>Kohryu once again uses Psycho Force. Abaddon was down again.

Joker: Now, everyone, charge!

>The Shadow was gone.

Joker: Now let’s go in. Peter and Harry, here we come.

>We entered the arena to find a stadium where a fighting ring was in the center. And in the fighting ring was a light where the Treasure is mean to appear.

Panther: So that’s where the Treasure will be. I wonder what form it will take.

Fox: When we went into Octavius’s Palace, his Treasure took the form of a small sun, but in reality, it was a ring. Since Peter and Harry share a Palace, it must be something they share.

I suppose.

Me, too.

Don’t worry. Whatever it is, we’ll take it and change their hearts.

You’re right. Thanks, Joker.

Thanks, Joker.

Mona: Excellent. We’ve established a route. Now all we have to do is send the calling card to make the Treasure appear and steal it.

Skull: Oh! Let’s make it flashy this time. Since this is going to be a really big heist, we should make the calling card real special... Like a video.

Oracle: A video calling card? Like the one we did for Shido? I suppose. But it may take a while. I’m not even sure we’ll make it with the deadline.

Joker: We’ll manage. We just have to have faith.

Mona: You’re right. We’ll do this.

>With our minds and hearts set, we leave the Palace for now to be ready for the heist ahead of us.
