During class the next day, Chelsea saw Ryuji texting her impatiently about if she had been contacted by Alibaba yet. She sighed, 'Man, he's so impatient. I still don't know how Alibaba managed to hack to my phone and contact me.' Morgana agreed and slept in her desk, during the afternoon classes, she felt her phone buzz and thought it was Ryuji again. She checked her phone and found it was from Alibaba.
'Good day.'
This time, she decided to reply, 'What do you want?' Chelsea watched as Alibaba replied.
'Ah, you responded today.' 'Once again, I am Alibaba.' 'You are the leader of the Phantom Thieves, correct?'
Chelsea replied, 'That's right.
'Mm, I appreicate your honesty.' 'I take it you received the calling card.' 'Are you at school now?'
Chelsea told Alibaba, 'I'm in class.
'Hm, you're a surprisingly diligent student.' 'Now then, I have prepared the calling card for you.' 'When are you going to steal it?'
Chelsea asked the mysterious Alibaba, 'Steal from who?'
'What do you mean by that?' 'Aren't you going to steal a heart as long you have a calling card?'
Morgana told her that they needed to tell Alibaba the real method of stealing a heart and she replied, 'I need a name.'
'.... A name? Is your heart thievery truly impossible without such information?'
Chelsea replied, 'It is.'
'.... I see.' 'Hm, I suppose past calling cards had names on them.' 'One moment.' 'Very well, I'll tell you.' '.....' 'I believe their name was.... Futaba Sakura.' 'If you fail in this mission, I will expose your identity to the world and to the police.' 'Well then, I'll be counting on you. We shall speak again after the change of heart.'
Chelsea tried to ask who Futaba Sakura was but got a error message and she sighed, thinking, 'Okay, does Alibaba really know how this works? Feels like we're doing this backwards. Well, better tell everyone to get together after school to talk about this.'

After cleaning up from the crash-landing and getting back in the midst of working at his job, Kenneth had started out for lunch when his phone began to buzz and shake again. Knowing what had happened before with the two palaces he had found, he quickly brought out his phone and sighed. "Here we go again, another criminal to deal with who's gone unpunished by the law. let's check it out." He soon pressed the Metaverse app and quietly went inside.
~Blazing Desert: Heated Sand~
As soon as he had pressed the app button and arrived, the brunette felt the searing heat and the blinding light of the desert with sand going as far as one could reach. He stood in the sand not exactly clad in his boots and overalls meaning that the sun was beating on his head. "Where did I end up at?" Raising his hand out, the brunette summoned the Ice Key as it reconfigured into Glider form and Kenneth started to fly off towards the large Pyramid in the long distance.

Daniel hummed a bit, he could sense the impatience in Ryuji's movements, the guy certainly didn't know the words of calming down, he amde it a point to not check his phone when ti buzze dmroe often than not cause more than likely, Ryuji was the one who did it, at least he ahd the graces to see Sadayo kawakami, he did plan on making a request for Becky since her issues were solved, she did look more brighter than usual not she wasn't pressured to make money to pay the blackmailing parents, no doubt she'll soon ease off her workload of jobs and gradually ease back into a more normal rountine.
Daniel did wonder about the terms and conditions for Alibaba but that he had ot leave to Chelsea, so far, he had to cheer up Ohya and learn more about her history, pretending to be a boyfriend to get someoen off her case, there was Hifumi, that eecentric shogi player, now that was a game of strategy and he coudl see the appeal of it since Shikamaru in Naruto played the game, at least he too was learning how to play and she was a pupular player.
The fortuent teller Chihaya was a problem, well, the lien fo work, it appeared she was with some kind of cult or something to that effect, selling trinkets fo basically rock salt for 100,000 Yen, coverting that to pounds first, that was £685.80 and in dollars $909.30, that was highwya robbery but it seemed she couldn't get out of it due to a work contract that made it inescapable for her and he sighed, that was alot of cash for rock salt and a scam but there nothing he could do unless CHihaya opene dup and revealled the managers name for them to change the heart, a shame really, Chihaya was a nice young girl but he knew contracts were serious business.

As soon as classes let out, Chelsea sent a text to all the Phantom Thieves to meet at the hideout and discuss the new messages that she had got from Alibaba. She grabbed her school bag with the hidden Morgana in it and stretched, Yuuki approached her and told her about the forums on the Phantom site, while he talked with her, Chelsea looked at him and recalled her own solo trek into Mementos and confronted his Shadow, but since the Shadow and the real one already knew that Yuuki was using the Phantom site for his own uses, she simply faced him about it and he admitted it with her telling him that he was doing fine without the use of the site.
After he told her about the site, she headed to the hideout, thinking on the other male SLs, having helped Toranosuke gather a good base for his election campaign and helping Iwai how to get closer to his son, using her experience as a parent to help him. She still thought it was unusual that her and Daniel shared a SL with Igor and thought about his deeper voice. Chelsea stretched as she walked and thought how Elsa and Anna were adjusting to such advancements like smartphones, she was surprised that Anna didn't get sucked into app games and such when she was given her phone.

Kenneth soon arrived at the large pyramid and hopped back onto the dusty ground, nearby it had looked like a town was near but of course it could have been a mirage due to the excess heat. Wiping the sweat off of his brow, the brynette checked out the front door noticing that was seemingly locked and quickly got out of the Metaverse lest he became dehydrated.
Once he returned to reality, Kenneth pulled out his phone and realized that he had a text while he was away and went to the meeting still covered in sweat.

Daniel leant against the railign as there was talk abotu Futaba Sakura and daniel raised an eyebrow at teh sweaty Kenneth but the meeting woudl go on. "Futaba Sakuta huh... That's a name, but why would Alibaba want us to target this girl?" Dnaiel wondered, cupping his chin in thought, he had seen Futaba on the ship and such but what would warrant a change of heart that she joins the Phantom Thieves? Something just didn't add up.
"It also seems Alibaba clams up whenever we try to get more infomation about Futaba despite the fact Alibaba could easily give us the infomation as a hacker, so it couuld be they are in fact the same person, but then there's the question of locating her, so far, the only Sakura I know of is the Boss of Leblanc but there could be many other people with the name of Sakura, plus it didn't look like he's a father, I haven't seen any ring or anythign on his person." Daniel noted, recalling the man.
"You should inquire about it Chelsea as I imagine he's mroe liable to open to a female than a guy since he seems to think of himself as a ladies man." Daniel suggested to her.

"I'll do what I can, but when I've worked at Leblanc, he never talks about having a family." Chelsea said, looking at him. Makoto looked at her and said, "Just be careful and discreet. We can't let him know that we're asking about Futaba Sakura." "I know," Chelesa said, looking at her. She breathed, then said, "The way Alibaba asked though, I don't think whoever it is understands the method of how to steal a heart. Cause they sent the calling card then I asked for a name. They're not even explaining why we need to steal the heart of this Futaba Sakura." "Well, ask Boss about her once." Hermione said, crossing her arms. "I don't like this."
"Well, we'll see what happens." Chelsea said, looking at her. "This kinda feels like we're being tested or something." Anna and Elsa looked confused, Chelsea said, "I can't explain it." Morgana nodded and agreed, looking at Kenneth who was sweaty, she said, "What are your thoughts, Kenn?"

"I would advise not going to ask Boss himself on this matter..." Kenneth started as he shook his head trying to get the sweat out. "Despite having been away while that yakuza boss turned himself in due to your probable actions. This Alibaba is something different." The brunette sat down with his hand on his chin in thought. "Alibaba and the forty thieves, the fairy tale in the desert...a desert much like the Palace I saw while entering the Metaverse. My phone started to be annoying close to where the Boss lives and not far from his business." Kenneth then looked at everyone before he brought up. "What if this Alibaba who you all have been talking to is just a guise made by this Futaba Sakura in order to hide herself from the world as a different person." Kenneth stood up and oddly started to pose with an arm out and his face down in an epic fashion. "An identity hidden behind a name and a completely different personality, the truth of one's inner self hidden to avoid confronting the truth on who they are because they don't want to admit it. I myself know of this feeling of confliction to the point where I am just myself hidden behind the name of Nuthead."

Daniel sighed as he listened to kenneth, he did conjur eup that Alibaba and Futaba may be the same person and just let him speak, the guys tarted posing like some Jojo or something, it was a very unusual way to talk. "Well, whatever the case, Alibaba, be it Futaba or just her pretending to be someone else, we need infomation because we are getting paticuarly closer and closer until Medjed goes through with their threat, the fact remains Alibaba's our best chance of success, we could check his house and see if Futaba actually lives there, if not, it just means she isn't related to the Boss at all and we'll be back to sqaure one." Daniel stated.
"Either way, we got nothing to lose at this point so we may as well try it out, because if Medjed does proceed with its threat, I don't know how the punishment will be given but if Chelsea receives anything more on her record, we'll have to leave and I think we'd rather not have that happen." Dnaiels aid, subtlely saying to the off-worlders of the group they didn't want this journey to end yet.
"Chelsea, you decide where we go from here and we'll roll with it as best as we can, but if Kennth's phoen is able to enter a Palace nearby the house without any warning, it may be there is something to be had there." Daniel added.

"Well, I won't deny that it is possible that Alibaba is likely Futaba or someone who is good at hacking, but since based on Kenn said, his version of the Meta Nav is different from ours cause we would still have to figure out the keywords to enter if we do plan to enter the Palace." Chelsea said. "Plus, we need to see if Futaba is a hit in the Nav." Morgana agreed since that was their usual method and should stick with that while Kenn did things in his own way.
"So what should we do in the meanwhile?" Hermione asked, Chelsea said, "I'll see if I can get us to Boss' house to find out about Futaba."

~Monarch: R&D Room~
Kairi was sitting in a chair in front of a large complex device resembling a laser with seven tubes attached to it, these tubes each had a colored SOUL housed within them. Higher Powers, Creator, and Author stood behind a terminal with Sora and Riku nearby, Riku looked at the three brunette males and asked. "What are you about to do to her?" HP raised a finger. "She will be fine...we are going to use this device to copy and manipulate parts of her soul...let us demonstrate. Creator...do the thing!" Creator nodded and quickly typed in commands into the computer causing the seven human SOULs to glow, a laser soon fired and seemingly struck Kairi and her SOUL causing a white light to envelope the room. The light soon passed as Kairi was still sitting there unharmed and a blonde girl in a white dress was sitting on the redhead's lap blinking in confusion. HP jumped into the air clapping his boots together shouting. "It worked! The copying worked!" Sora was also confused by what he saw before asking. "Is she real?" Creator nodded. "Yup, we fiddled around, copied things, duplicated things and a bunch of complex stuff...point is Namine now exists without Kairi being affected." Sora grinned. "Can you do it with me?" Author then smiled. "Of course, we were going to do it anyway."
So as Kairi and the blonde girl got up from the chair, the spiky-haired brunette sat down in front of the laser. The three males behind the terminal began to work once more before the laser fired at Sora. However as soon as the laser struck his SOUL, the screens began to flash red with warning icons and the machine was overloading as the flash of white occurred with a loud explosion. As the light cleared a figure quickly darted about in the middle of the haze and took the containers with the seven SOULs warping away. Sora was on the floor with two familiar people on top of him, a heart was floating in another part of the room and everyone else was slowly getting up from the explosion. HP noticing the girl and boy on top of Sora, the lone heart, and the missing SOULs before remarking sarcastically. "That worked out real well..."

Daniel nodded and let Chelsea lead on to the Boss's home, ti wasn't really hard to find Sojiro's home nearby Leblanc. "Huh so work isn't really that far away from home, so I guess if he gets drunk, he doesn't have to go far." Daniel said, looking up at the house, they did bump into Sojiro and a white haired woman talking about charges or something to that effect, he wasn't a expert on that.
"Still, it looks like a nice place... so... how do we go about it?" Daniel asked Chelsea.

-Sojiro's House-
"Well, the lights are on, but we just saw him and if he does live on his own, he wouldn't keep them on." Chelsea said, observing the house and thinking. "And if Futaba was here, she would have answered the door when we rang the doorbell. I don't want to just barge in there since he trusts me and well, I don't want to get in anymore trouble than I already am with my record." She walked to the gate and it opened slightly, "Huh, guess he must have forgot to lock it." 'And I thought I had embarrassing moments when I accidentally locked myself of out my apartment.' She thought, not thinking back on that moment.
Makoto noticed that the door was slightly open, Hermione said, "That's a bit careless of him." Hearing a thunder rumble, Chelsea stiffened and said, "Lets step inside the house for a brief moment. Everyone, try to be dissect and quiet. We don't want to alarm Boss." She slid the door open slightly and stepped into the house.
-Monarch-
Futaba walked around and looked around, wondering what to do and went to find the other Phantom Thieves. She hugged Akira from behind, "Akira...... I'm bored...... Can we do something?"
Luka stood on the bridge, looking out at the stars and Cosmos joined her, the goddess giving her company while the captain thought about her husband who was out and exploring. She pondered who to ask to take over if she was to go out and explore the worlds.

~Sakura Household~
If there was something that the brunette male had a fear of...it was thunder and lightning. Kenneth quickly scrambled into the house running past everyone and began to pant whispering to himself. "I seriously do not like that sound..."
~Monarch~
The loud boom from the incident made Kai and Kira dart out from the arcade and went in search for the sound before they found Futaba and Akira, the brunette female asking Futaba. "Did you hear a loud explosion like something idiotic my brothers would have done?"

Daniel walke din as Chelsea did stiffen a she noticed, though why the door was left unlocked, he didn't know, no doubt tonigh,t Chelsea will share a room with him sicne she foudn comfort in that thoguh Kenneth appeared to share the fea rof lightning too, maybe he, Chelsea and Rikku should form alightnign fear group.
~Monrach~
AKira looekd to Futaba. "Well, what woudl you..." then an explosion occured or rather a soudn fo one, the alarms werent' blaring so it was obivously a contained experiment and Futaba was directly questioned by two people.
~Unknown Location~
A hooded figrue paused in his steps and turned his head, he sensed somethign was amiss and contineud on, he planned ot find a paticular building, Capsule Corp, he planend on acquirign a certain machine to allow him to travel through time unless there was a mroe convienent mode of transportation, he needed more candidates for Number One and if the past selves werent' enough what about alternate ones?
