Daniel rubbed his neck a bit, apparently Kaneshiro was a bit difficult to locate and that was going through an adult network channel to dig up any dirt and he sighed, Ryuji looking to him. "Not much to go on, this guy covers his tracks like he is constantly watching his back, if he was that paranoid that is." Daniel admitted and looked thoughtful. "Only way to probably get at the source is to get intentionally taken to him, but not sure how." Daniel said thoughtfully and wondered what to do.
-Naomi's Ship-
Noctis looked to them, taking their answers in consideration. "I know, but... would you have any advice for how you each ruled your own kingdoms? What good or bad came of it? Anything I could learn would help me out more than you think." Noctis opened with a suggestion.

Getting Kaneshiro's name into the Nav, Chelsea nodded as he had a hit on the Nav. 'Now, just need to find out where his Palace is and what he thinks of it.' She thought, looking at the hit of the target on the Navi Then she contacted Yuuki about meeting Ohya, breathing and leaning back in her room, rubbing Morgana on the back. She wondered what kind of palace Kaneshiro had and went to asleep, Morgana sleeping on her chest.
The next day, Ryuji was shouting at Daniel about ditching him or something like that. "I'm not gonna ask, anyway." Chelsea said, looking at Yusuke. "Lets start the lookup." Yusuke also confirmed that Kaneshiro was a hit in the Navi and Morgana said that they needed to figure out the other key words to find his Palace. Anna crossed her arms and put a hand to her chin to think about possible keywords. Elsa also tried to think of keywords, though it was hard for Anna and Elsa since they had never dealt with anything of the mafia before and their world was a time before such concepts. Ryuji did whine but ended up helping trying to figure out keywords, Chelsea thought herself, when Yusuke asked her on what she thought.
"Well, it would have to be a place where he needs tight protection and guard of his money, so maybe a bank?" She suggested, as it turned, that was a keyword and next was trying to figure out where. During the talk about where it be, Ryuji offhandedly saying 'All of Shibuya' caused them to enter the Metaverse. Though the district looked the same, all the people were walking ATMs, Anna gasped at the sight. Chelsea sighed, "Man, this Kaneshiro really is the worst." "Well, we can't find it standing here." Elsa said, "Lets' go." Chelsea nodded, leading everyone.
-Naomi's Ship-
"Well, the worst thing for me was that I lusted and impregnated a married woman, my heir died." David said, thinking. Arthur and Arturia looked at each other, "For us, since we're the same person." "Our kingdom was usurped and our queen betrayed us with our most loyal knight." Arturia said, David looked at them and said, "But despite all that, we ruled fairly and were well liked. I defeated a difficult enemy." "Yes, I went on many adventures." Arthur said. Arturia nodded, looking calm. ,

Daniel observed the ATMs, it was an odd world, but it seemed like there was a few dead ATMs. "Hmm, some are moving about, others look about dead, could they perhaps be how Kaneshiro views them?" Daniel asked to himself as they did seem to be quite frightened to even speak of the man. "Well, there's no bank so where could he be?" Daniel wondered as he heard a guit wreching crash, one of the humanoid ATMs attempted to commit suicide and as the others went to check on it, Daniel looked up and saw... well, a huge moving platform.
"Oh... well crap." Daniel said, it was just high enouigh not be touching any of the tall buildings in Japan, it honestly reminde dhim of the Mist Fortress in Legend of Legaia... only way they could possibly get up there was to fly and last he checked, nobody had wings.
"if Morgana is capable of transforming into a flying van, I don't see how else we can get up there." Daniel admitted out lout.
-Naomi's Ship-
Noctis blinked at David, he impregnated a married woman, wasn't that cheating or something? He didn't want to tread that path. "I see... well it gives me alot to think about."

Morgana argued back that he could change into a car and wasn't some kind of robot that could change into any kind of vehicle. Chelsea thought and said, "I think we're at the limit of what we can do for today." "Okay, lets leave and figure out how to get up there tomorrow," Elsa suggested, looking at her. Anna pouted, "Man this Kaneshiro is the worst." Chelsea patted her shoulder and they left the Metaverse. Everyone heading home, Chelsea read for a while before Morgana told her that she must be tired and to go to sleep. Chelsea didn't say anything but looked annoyed and went to sleep.
The next day, everyone met up after school ended and Morgana sighed at the unfairness of where Kaneshiro's Palace was. Chelsea nodded and saw Makoto come up since she saw all of them together. Hermione peeked as she headed home from work.
-Naomi's Ship-
"I'd rather not talk about it." David said, looking away. Arturia said, "Just be yourself and your reign should be fine. Take the throne at your own time and talk with your friend that while he has the right to worry about you, it's your kingdom and you decide when you'll rule."

Daniel rubbed his neck as he sat in the living room, how could they get up to that huge platform? he had some ideas, one being Tailed Beast Mode Kurama but that'd raise more questions from the Phantom Thieves, after all, he abrely managed to escape a scolding for runnign off in Madarame's palace to distract the new foes at the time and he ratehr not get another one as he had a pen and paper.
"Grappling hook and rope?" Daniel wondered, it would work... depending hwo much rope was needed and if there was anything for the anchor to dig in so they could climb up, the surface up on that platform might not be good after all. "Para-gliding?" No, need to be at a very high point to do that and training..." Dnaiel recalled the Angel grove charity event where Kimberly and the others partook in that and he did that very well, but Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke and Morgana? Most defintiely not.
"That is certainly a stumped way to reach up there..." Dnaiel admitted and place dthe pena nd paper down, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Even if we get up there, and locate the Treasure, there's still the matter of making Kaneshiro know it's being taken and well, we don't how to make sure he sees the calling card, this may be a heist we can't do." Daniel muttered quietly.

Something seemed to strike a cord with Makoto about her being deemed useless and decided to help them find Kaneshiro, heading off somewhere. Hermione decided to follow them as they went after Makoto. Chelsea gasped for air as they lost Makoto in the crowd, Elsa and Anna looked around and wondered where she disappeared to, Chelsea asked Daniel to come by to help cause she felt like Makoto was going to do something crazy to find Kaneshiro. Receiving a call from Makoto, Chelsea listened as she would find a way to Kaneshiro. As it turned, it sounded like she was talking to some brutes who happened to work under Kaneshiro and headed to Central Street, Chelsea keeping the call going.
They barely made it to the street as Makoto was put in a car and headed off somewhere, Chelsea groaned. Ryuji was able to get them a taxi and followed the car to where Makoto was going. When they arrived at the club, they met the man in person while Makoto was being held down. Matatabi said, "That's Kaneshiro? A bit on the big side, huh?" 'I say it fits since his Palace is in the sky.' Chelsea replied, as Hermione appeared, her aura having changed to her more serious side during the war. Kaneshiro basically threatened them to bring him three million yen when he realized that his grunts were followed and everyone barging into the room. Chelsea groaned, his attitude starting to annoy her and he suddenly snapped a picture and threatened to send to the school, especially with the wine, cigarettes and possibly drugs in the photos.
After giving the deadline of bringing three million yen in three weeks, everyone managed to leave and Chelsea decided to question Hermione, she turned her attention to Makoto who apologized for bringing them all into this. She admitted that she just wanted to prove she was useful and was stupid for what she did. "Actually, you just might be useful." Chelsea said, looking at her which surprised everyone. "Think about it, cause of this, we are all targets of his now. So that would mean....." "We can access his bank now!" Anna said, smiling. Hermione and Makoto looked confused as they listened to the conversation.

Daniel rubbed his hair, Makoto was reckless in getting them to Kaneshiro but they now had a way to get to the Palace as Anna stated. "Guess so, but still it was a rather reckless thing to do, especially if they drugged you or something" Daniel said and brought out his phone. "No doubt Kaneshiro will hold this three billion yen over our heads, he knows we can't amass that much money in three weeks or even a few years, that is even counting all of us working our butts off, so it just means we'll have to take alternative measures." Daniel said and Makoto and Hermione looked even more confused.
"Well, they are in this whenever we like it or not Chelsea, so we may as well go with it." Dnaiel said as he activated the Nav, bringign them all to Kanehsiro's Palace.

-Shibuya-
Upon entering the Metaverse, Makoto and Hermione were shocked to see everyone in their new attire, even mistaking Yusuke for a canine at first glance. Morgana told them to be quiet cause the Shadows would hear them. The two were even more surprised, Ann explained that was the cat Chelsea carried in her bag and this is what happens when they come here, Makoto recongized Ann's voice and looked around, curious about their location. It was basically explained that they were inside the world of Kaneshiro's heart, and everything around them was how he viewed the world. Then they saw the floating bank, which really surprised them. They took them to the side, and explained about 'stealing someone's heart', which meant stealing their Treasure and bringing about a change.
As soon as everyone had explained everything and Hermione and Makoto had a understanding of what was going on, they stepped out and the bank lowered down to them. Chelsea crossed her arms and said, "Guess that works. As long as we can enter the bank, but we should be on guard." They walked up and entered the bank, Makoto explained that she had trained in aikido so she could defend herself and Hermione reminded Chelsea and Daniel about her training in her world. The guards were about to attack but Shadow Kaneshiro let them pass in peace upon hearing that Makoto was one of his customers and headed to a room in the back of the bank. In the reception room, they found a table loaded all the money they needed.
Shadow Kaneshiro spoke to them through a screen, revealing his purple colored face to them. He offered a loan with ten percent interest a day, adding to three hundred thousand yen. When he insulted young women by saying they lack physical strength and were dumb, Chelsea shook, gripping a fist, ready to send her most powerful Persona to squash him right there and then. Yusuke calmed her down and he sent his Shadows to them. After fighting a few rounds of the Shadows, Chelsea said, "I say we get out of here now!" Everyone agreed and ran to the entrance, but the path was blocked by more Shadows. Chelsea was more than pissed, saying, "You've got to be freaking kidding me!" She turned to see the Shadow himself appear and taunted Makoto into cooperating with him.
Hermione cracked her knuckles, her and Makoto showing a aura that a woman shouldn't have normally. "Just listening to you go on and on about your money and all that crap. Here's a suggestion." "Shut your damn mouth, you money-grubbing asshole!" Makoto said, the two looking equally angry. Hermione said, "All this talk about money just keeps reminding me about a certain babbling idiot I know thinks he owns the world cause of his status. Makes me sick."
At that point, they heard the voices from within them, Makoto heard a female voice who spoke to her, "Have you decided to tread the path of strife?" "Are you willing to go past the point of no return?" A male voice asked Hermione. Hermione said, "I am willing to go beyond the point of no return." "Yes... come to me." Makoto said, the voice said, "Very well. Let us proceed with our contract at once." "Then let us form the contract at this moment." The male voice said, as the two felt the pain with their eyes becoming yellow. The voices spoke at the same time, "I am thou, thou are I....."
"By going beyond the point of no return, you have the power to tear down this hideous bank and build a magnificent theater in its place." The male said, Hermione groaned in pain and held her head. "I should be the angel of music to help you compose symphonies to tear down your enemies! To celebrate your new song of freedom, let us conduct a opera to crush this bug!" "You have found your own justice." The female voice said, "Please... Never lose sight of it again. This memorable day marks your graduation from your false self." Makoto obtained a gray iron mask while Hermione received a white mask with the right side being longer and they tore them off, their forms changing.
Makoto now wore a two-toned (dark blue and black) skintight suit that is worn with a long black scarf, a dark gray corset-style leather breastplate, shoulder and knee pads with spikes mixed with boots that sport metal heels and toes, white gloves while Hermione wore a dark red tail coat and a tattered white button shirt, she wore black pants and brown combat boots, having silver fingerless gloves. Hermione's Persona was a young man in a noble outfit, covering half of his face and holding a chain that was wrapped around the neck of a young woman in white with her eyes closed, meanwhile Makoto's Persona took a silver motorcycle, with Johanna's face on the front of the motorcycle.
Everyone was surprised at the new users, Makoto revved the engine and said, "I can feel it.... My 'self'.... Me! Gun it!" "Lets do as you said and conduct a symphony to tear these guards part." Hermione said, her Persona revealing the half of his face to snap his fingers and inflicting the Shadows' with something while Makoto drove her Persona to knock them out. She said, "I will not lose heart again, ever. I will go full speed, non-stop! Right, Johanna?!" "I hope we will be able all kinds of music against those who wants to use the weak, Erik!" Hermione said, producing a silver sword with a curved hilt.

Daniel watched on as Makoto and Hermione unleashed their Personas, Makoto's was certainly... interesting, he never thoght there was a Persona-shaped motorcycle. "Well, colour me impressed." Dnaiel said as he went to help them with Amon to fight the Shadows who seemed to be weak to Johanna's magic wich definitely different being Frei with it being light nuclear damage, that was something to learn but the it was best to make a full retreat and wait for the security to fall back so they'd have an easier time getting to the Treasure and Makoto rode out fo the building, Morgana hurriedly transforming and eveyroen got in, driving off the saucer an dinto the streets.
"Well... didn't expect that, but now we got a way in into the bank and if it what its suppsoed to represent, its likely the treasure will be in the deepest place... Still... I doubt the money he would of loaned would work in the real world since it is all about cognition." Daniel noted and looked to Chelsea. "Well Leade,r you decide when we go in for the Treasure, but we shoudl probably make a route to it first before anything so take your time with it." Daniel said to her.

"Well, not a lot of time since we got a deadline til Kaneshiro sends the photos to the school." Chelsea said, crossing her arms. "But lets get the new Phantom Thieves adjusted to their new roles and their new powers. So, lets take them to Mementos tomorrow and give them some practice." She looked at the two brunettes who were experiencing the exhaustion from having awoken to their Personas and their powers. Makoto admitted that she actually felt great, not imaging to have become part of the Phantom Thieves that she was after. She did tell them about her sister, who was investigating the Phantom Thieves and wouldn't be able to get to a world like that. Hermione looked at Daniel, Chelsea, Elsa, and Anna, "I'm not really sure what to say about what happened. But I'm ready to help you with it. Consider it my thanks for you helping me in the past."
Yusuke suggested that Makoto become their advisor and Hermione could be their strategist, Chelsea nodded, "I don't see why not." Hermione and Makoto nodded, ready to beat Kaneshiro.
-Luka's Ship - The Monarch-
Luka sat in her room which was the captain quarters of the ship that her and the others used to travel to different worlds. Aside from a combined bathtub and shower, her room was nothing special. She got up from her chair and put on a dim yellow version of Marvelous' coat, walking to the bridge and checked their current status. Ahim came in and gave her a cup of tea to calm her senses as they wondered if Daniel and the others who were out, were okay. Lady was resting in a room being near the Galaxy Line, fixing up her puppet.
Shelby knelt down in the Zord, looking at the hole where the egg melted into the ground. She pondered when it would pop out and sighed, standing and stretching.

Daniel nodded at Chelsea's suggestion and Makoto being an advisor, she did seem to have a head to think about things when she wasn't being reckless and in the following days, Chelsea went with some Thieves to Mementeos to get an better understanding of Hermione and Makoto's personas along with their weaknesses or capabilites, Dnaiel emanwhile used the time to call Kawakami or speka with some other Social Links, now there was a free day, he thought he should take the sisters, Anna and Elsa out somewhere, after all, it been a while since it was just the three of them, last time was on Anna's Birthday where Elsa had a fever.
"Hey girls, is there anything you really want to do in town? ANythign at all, I'm free." Daniel asked the two freckled sisters curiously.

-Mementos-
Having a day in Mementos, Chelsea trained with Makoto, Hermione, and Yusuke. As Makoto was a senior at the school, she helped Chelsea in learning to how to drive Morgana's car form, and helped her in how to be a leader. When it came to fighting, Makoto had her Persona, Johanna, who used Nuclear skills and abilities while she herself used tekko, a type of spiked brass knuckles, to physically attack along with a revolver, meanwhile Hermione's Persona, Erik, used Curse and Bless skills, as she used the sword she summoned during the first summoning which Chelsea noticed a similar appearance to the Sword of Omens due to the curved guard on the handle and the single ruby gem, and as a gun-weapon she used a shotgun.
When it came to code names, Hermione was called Phantom cause Chelsea knew the story of the character that her Persona was based on and thought it suited her cause of her Persona, then Makoto was given the code name, Queen, which was given while discussing what to give her, she has the aura of a queen and she liked it. Hermione was confused about why she was called, Chelsea explained it was cause of her mask and the wings on her outfit.
-Shibuya-
"Well, we can wander the city." Anna suggested, Elsa thought and said since Ignis was out shopping, "Anything to get my mind off what that man, Kaneshio, might be doing in that Palace of his." Anna nodded and stood up, stretching.

Daniel rubbed his chin in thought and took Anna and Elsa out around the town, to the local park, Harajuku with old books, the local amusement, the two girls were still taken aback by technological advances sicne well, no such things existed in Arendelle at all, they did try a romanic boat in a lake as Daniel rowed, Anna fidnign the moment romantic and well Daniel blushed. "Rowing two beautiful women like yourselves on a romantci boat trip... I wonder how many relationship points I am getting or how much luck I'm giving up." Daniel thought.
"Least it's not Venice." Dnaiel said and that got them curious. "It's a city that uses boats like these to ferry people aroudn and usually a man rows it witha big oar and standing up to give the romantic feeling for the couple." Dnaiel paused when he said couple, that could be interpeted in a different way, especially since wlel, oen guy, two girls ona boat adn couple being mentioned, they woudl think he was refering they were a couple.

-Mementos-
Taking a breather in one of the break rooms, Chelsea rubbed her hair and looked at the two new Phantom Thieves who were talking to each other about the respective histories of their Personas and how Makoto's could be a motorcycle. They also discussed the symbolism of Hermione's Persona and its history. Chelsea smiled and shivered at the sound of chains that she had been hearing when they stopped at times. 'We should finish up here and head back to reality.' She thought. 'I imagine that Makoto and Hermione are more than ready to squash Kaneshiro and rob his bank blind of his Treasure.'
"Not to mention, I think you gave Yusuke enough artistic inspiration." Matatabi said. Chelsea nodded.
-Shibuya-
Elsa smiled and nodded, Anna smiled and looked around. They just enjoyed the peace and unsettling scenery of a floating bank and walking ATMs, along with the masked security guards and the purple skinned glowing eyes version of a mafia leader. Elsa did read a book about her Persona and supposed that she was like the main character during her childhood. Anna wasn't sure if she was like the character of her Persona but just enjoyed the time together.

Daniel rowed the boat as Anna and Elsa didn't comment on what he said, after the boatign trip, he did take them out to eat and paid for it, of course chocolate was part of the meal, when they got back, Chelsea informed them Makoto and Hermione were ready for Kaneshiro's Palace by her own observation and Daniel nodded in response, Chelsea probably planned on tackling it tomorrow and sexure a route to the Treasure, wherever that was in the bank.
"I wonder what his Treasure is or how he'll be fought." Daniel said, Kamoshida and Madarame's true selves were interesting, if it was a bank, it was more than likely soemthing related to gold or something since a block of gold was valued to be alot of money, that may be a problem for Morgana who seemed to have a sparkle for shiny stuff, but they'll cross that bridge when they get to it.
