-Sojiro's House-
"Hello, is anyone home?" Anna called out, looking into the house. Hermione looked into the house, saying, "The door ahead is open and I can hear the TV going on. Maybe he forgot to turn it off when he went out." Ryuji looked around and suggested that they looked in further, Chelsea looked at the blond ex-runner and wasn't sure but they needed to be sure about Futaba's existence and if she was in Sojiro's home. She stepped into the house, looking around for any sign of Futaba being in the house.
As they walked, there was a sudden lighting strike, causing the lights to go out and a scream, Chelsea froze in place and everyone wondered what happened. There was another sound, Ann wanted to get out and Morgana thought it might be Alibaba/Futaba. So they turned around, Elsa turning Chelsea around and walking her outside. Scared, Makoto held onto Daniel, shaking so much. It didn't help that Yusuke mentioning that he could sense someone's presence and Makoto held Daniel's arm so tightly and suddenly fell, her legs unable to move from how scared and frightened she was about the whole deal.
Suddenly, a figure appeared with reflective white eyes, Makoto slowly turned to face the figure and it looked at her. Just then, there was a flash of lighting and Makoto hugged Daniel's leg, holding it so tight it was cutting off circulation from the rest of his body and she was muttering something about her sister saving her while the figure disappeared. Everyone hid as Sojiro came into the house.
-Monarch-
"No, I haven't seen them lately and just saw you after hearing the boom." Futaba said, looking at them.
-Unknown-
After Eli beat Merula in a wizard's duel, she pulled out a flashlight as Merula ranted that she was still better because she was in Slytherin while Eli was in Gryffindor, then screamed as Eli shined the flashlight on her. "That's what you get for relying on magic so much. You miss out on the wonders of what muggles have done since the school started. No offense, Bill, Charlie, but I think the magical world is stuck a century behind the muggle world." The two Weasley siblings didn't mind since they agreed and helping her become Build helped them learn the wonders of the muggle world though they stuck with their regular jobs.

~Monarch~
"Okay, thanks for answering...and by the way, you look adorable." Kai mentioned before running off dragging Kira by the back of her shirt out of the room. Eventually after running around some more, the duo saw Riku carrying Creator out of the room and a mess of people sitting in the hall. The brunette facepalmed. "Damn it guys, what kind of thing did you do now?" Author who was on the floor on his back raised a finger. "We recreated a bunch of people by messing with Sora and Kairi's Souls, our machine went crazy when Sora was shot with it and exploded, so we all got out of there." A familiar raven-haired girl who was slumped against the wall was trying to stir muttering. "Not so loud, Kai..my head hurts." Kai and Kira looked over before their eyes shot wide open. HP was sitting against a wall with a container holding the heart inside. "Not to mention this Soul here was forced out of Sora and somebody stole the Seven Human Souls we used to power the device..."
~M.O.O.K. HQ: Computer Room~
The unknown male who had left the Monarch with the Seven Souls in tow would soon find himself face to face with Cronus in the Computer Room. Cronus turned to face the black and red armored individual as he calmly said. "Hello Vanitas, welcome back to life..." The armored male glared at Cronus before the Rider continued. "I apologize for bringing you here on such short notice since you were on your way to meet with your Master, but I would kindly like you to hand over those Souls you currently have." Vanitas looked down at the colored Souls before he said. "These things? Why would I hand them over to you when I could give them to my Master and let him use it to bring forth Kingdom Hearts?" Cronus smirked. "Simple, those Souls wouldn't work. They're human Souls bound with Determination that can resist and if you tried to use them with Kingdom Hearts, then your Master's plan will fail as Kingdom Hearts powered by Determination would reject him." Vanitas thought about it for a moment before setting the Seven Souls down in front of Cronus telling him. "Good point..." and then left through a corridor of darkness.
~Sakura Residence~
Kenneth quickly fled as the lightning flashed, to the others he had vanished but in reality he was hiding away from the noise.

-Sojiro's House-
Daniel was surprised by Makoto's strength. "Is she afraid of lightning too or is it just creepy places?" Dnaiel thoguht before Chelsea and Elsa were outside, obivously Elsa knew what she was doing and Makoto said she couldn't move and practcually hugged his leg and Daniel felt the blood flow was being cut off and his left, numb. "Damn.. how scared is she!?" Dnaiel wodnered in hsi thoughts as Sojiro came in and thought they were buglars as teh others hid ina room, unfortnately, Daniel didn't or rather couldn't move at all cause of Makoto holding his leg and two, makoto couldn't mvoe either as a flash lgiht shone on hsi eyes, blidning him, Sojiro expressing surprise as Makoto hurriedly said good evenign nervously and Sojiro recongize dteh faces and asked if they were dating, Makoto hurriedly saying they were just friends and Sojiro asking fi this si really how friends nowadays get that close to each other.
"If friends did get that close to each other, Japan's birth rate would skyrocket faster than you cna say lightning striking again." Daniel thought and as Makoto blushed, denying it and Daniel decided to bail her out, despite hwo adorable it was seeing the Presidient flustered. "Actually, we saw the door wa sunlocked and the TV was on so we thought you passed out or been attacked." Daniel said causually.

-Sojiro's House-
After everyone revealed themselves, Chelsea looked at Sojiro, "Hey, Boss, there is something I want to ask you. You have someone else living here, don't you?" Sojiro confirmed, saying it was his daughter, Chelsea thought and said, "Could her name be.... Futaba Sakura?" He was surprised that she knew her name, Chelsea looked embarrassed and asked, "Um is there any way we can meet her? I think along with the lighting earlier, we might frightened her and would like to apologize to her." When he struggled for a answer, Chelsea asked, "Is she sick or something?" Sojiro shook his head, saying he shouldn't have kept it secret and asked them all to come to Leblanc.
"Dan, Yusuke, think you can find Kenn so he can hear this too?" Chelsea asked, looking at them.

"Can do." Daniel said and went otu with Yuusyje to locate Kenn, it was highly unlikely he'd be the house and Dnaiel palced a hand on his side. "Well, lets see if the guys as afarid of lightning as some people, he'd likely go somewhere out of any view and liekly not far, so he'd got to eb either at one of the stores or the bathhouse or the laundrette." Daniel commented and the two spilt up to try and locate him.
Daniel ahd foudn him sure enough in the laudnrette and staying relatively close to a corner. "We're holding a meeting in Leblanc to talk about Futaba and learn mroe about her, with this, we can probably get a clue, though, to be fair, you faced way scarier things than lightning, bu I cna there are soem things you can't overcome, I doubt it's going to go on for too long, if we can learn anythign, w emay be oen step closer to get past this roadblock." Daniel said to Kenneth.
"When you got yourself calmed down, we're heading over to Leblanc." Daniel said, waiting by the door.

-Leblanc-
Finding a place to sit in the cafe, Sojiro explained that he knew Futaba's mother long before Futaba was born, though her mother was a bit of a odd one, they still got along pretty well. He described her being a truly great woman, focusing on something that would have her interest. 'Sounds like Philip.' Chelsea thought, thinking about the unusual and smart half of Double back on the ship, listening that even after Futaba was born, her personality didn't change and still managed to raise Futaba. Elsa asked, "And what of Futaba's father?"
As it turned out, Futaba's mother never said a word about who was Futaba's father, but she and Futaba were still a happy family together until she left a year ago. "'Left'?" Chelsea asked, "What happened?" As it turned, her mother committed suicide, apparently throwing herself into the street right in front of her daughter. Chelsea went pale at the thought and listened as he took custody of Futaba, but she was so traumatized by the shock that she wouldn't talk to him. However, she would slowly open up to him, and he learned that she blames herself for her mother's death. Then Futaba began to get scared, hearing and seeing things, becoming a shut-in in her room.
"Poor girl...." Anna said, her and Elsa thinking on their childhood when their parents separated them to 'help' Elsa with her powers after Anna's memories were rearranged to hide the truth.

"Poor, poor girl..." Kenneth remarked rather quietly placing his hands in his pockets with his head down. "I can kind of understand what is being said, but still...blaming herself for something that big? It gives me an odd sense of deja vu..." He then looked up at Sojiro and slowly nodded. "You're a good man for taking her in and taking care of her like this..."

Daniel listened and looked thoughtful, did Futaba really seem like that kind of girl? Sojiro soon left to check on Futaba as it was getting late and he was closing up shop, the group walked in light of the revelations. "Never thought she had that kind of background... still, hearing and seeing things... you think it's due to staying up and not getting enough sleep." Daniel said, it was noted people had delusions when staying up all the time since the human body did require sleep.
"But the question is does Futaba even have a Palace and if so, considering this history we learnt, what possible keywords could get us inside, since shut-ins usually prefe rto nto interact with the outside world, only times they do that is if it's something they themselves want bad enough they dare venture outside." Daniel added.

"Lets check the Nav." Chelsea said, taking out her phone and activated the Metaverse Navigation App. "Futaba Sakura in Sojiro Sakura's house." It was a hit, Elsa looked at the results, "So, she does, but we're missing the last keyword." "It's amazing that someone who isn't so evil has one." Anna said, looking surprised. Hermione crossed her arms and asked, "Hey, Morgana, is it......" Looking around, the talkative cat had disappeared, Chelsea asked, "Has anyone seen Morgana?" "Not since we were at Boss' house." Hermione said, looking at her. "He should be fine, though. We'll keep a lookout for him though."
"Okay, lets head back to Boss's house tomorrow after the school assembly." Chelsea said. She stretched, heading back to the apartment with Daniel and the girls.

At home, Daniel stretched his arms out, it been a long day and no doubt he'd have soem visitors in light of the lightnign striking today, he wasn't sure if Anna or Elsa were afraid of lightning, though he did have to wonder where Kenneth was staying in Japan, judging by the guy being afraid of the weather... either he had a shuttle hidden nearby or had rented a room or something,, thta was all he could guess.
Throwing his clothes into the hampeer and heading for the bathroom, he started by using the shower to get any dirt or grime off him before starting up a bath, it given him time to think, Futaba was a shut-in ro rather as it's termed Hikomori but the fact she at a young age witnessed her mother's suicide was nothing anyone should see, comapred to the Futaba he seen on the ship, it was like night and day.
That did lead to another revelation, it was thought the Metaverse App onyl worke don those with evil hearts yet Futaba had a Palace, if Dnaiel recalled, the general populace was Mementeos while some can create their very own Palaces if givne enough time or motives, but Futaba was a shy and insociable girl, maybe there was no border between good or evil people in the Metaverse.
Maybe the Phantom Thieves themselves had the capabilites of having a Palace themselves if they did not awaken to their Personas, maybe the Shadows in the Palaces were like what happened in the TV World where oen must accept themself to acquire a Persona, that theory was an unknown though, still, with Kaneshiro put away, the authroitites and public opiinion were havign them recongzied more compared ot previous cases, especially since Kanehsiro was a man the police tried to catch for a long time and the Phantom Thieves kidn fo taken that glory.
Then there was the matter of the masked man in black, someone else had the power to enter the Metaverse for their own means but... surely the chances of seeing the person was like a million to one since you'd need a specific target and the appropipate keywords, Daniel switche dteh tap off and lowered hismel finto the warmth of the tub, looking up at the ceiling.
Igor was another thing, he just had a feeling in his gut that something was off, while he never visite dteh velvet Room personally before, something was different since Caroline and Justine seemed to be doing most of the work while he just sta back and watched, more like an observer, he was brougth out of his thougths hearing a knock at the door of the bathroom. "Who is it?"

"It's me, Hermione." Hermione said, peeking her head into the bathroom. "I'm gathering everyone's laundry so it can be washed and dried. Mind if I take yours while you're busy in the bath." She picked up the basket and looked at him. "I hope you don't mind."
In the living room, Chelsea closed her diary and stretched, wondering where Morgana went and recovering from the fact that Futaba, a person who wasn't evil but more anti-social, shy, and withdrawn, had a Palace. 'Based on what we were told, someone with strong warped and negative feeling could have a Palace, like how Kamoshida had a castle cause he thought he was the king of Shujin, Madarame having a museum cause of the plagiarism, and Kaneshiro having a bank due to him blackmailing and exploiting the people he swindled. Could it be that Futaba has a Palace cause of witnessing her mother's death and the feeling of being blamed for it?' She thought, writing in a separate notebook on everything and thinking, closing it so Ignis wouldn't find out.
Elsa and Anna sat together, talking about their childhood and how similar it felt to Futaba, though she was willingly shutting herself in while Elsa became one due to protect Anna when she had her memories rewritten about Elsa's powers.
-Shadow Line-
Zwart breathed as she finished her work, hiding it and removing her dirty and greasy clothes, showing her slender and scarred body. Zett appeared, entering her room and pondered what she was working on. The Greeed looked at the Emperor of Darkness and asked, "What?" "Just stopping by for some 'personal' conversations." Zett said, walking to her with the door closing.
-Gridania-
Bellatrix stretched, she had spent the day sparring with Raven who was a tough and fierce warrior without the use of her Maiden powers. She went to her room, removing her Dark Knight armor and wondering how everyone else in Eorzea.
-Ishgard-
Kairi brought Eli and her companions to the snowy nation of Ishgard, or rather just outside the nation in Coerthas. "Why are we here, Kairi?" Eli said, looking at the red haired Red Mage. Kairi looked at her and said, "Well, I still want to check on Eorzea and its nations since I am the Warrior of Light, and it gives you a chance to test out the Genius Fullbottle. Sides, I need to see how the other city-states are faring and be able to train accordingly." She looked, noting a lot of Heartless and Unversed roaming the area.

Daniel looked a bit embarassed, at least ti wasn't him in the tub and a group of women walked in on him again. "No, by all emans, go ahead..." Daniel said, scrtaching his cheek a bit as Hemrione closed teh door to get his clothes washed and he lay back, now eh thought about it, he was quite a lucky man seeing what he had seen apart from othe rguys who the girls branded as perverts, he let himself stew in his own thougths for a good maybe ten to twenty minutes before washing him off and gotten a Bath robe, putting it on and amde sure his feet were dry and such as he stepped, question was what next, he coudl ehad to his room and get a fresh set of clothes or lounge aroubnd in the bath robe, then again, there was mostly girls living here apart from Ignis and it'd probably b einpoor tastes so he headed towards the bedroom ro get changed into soemthign more appropiate, since summer was coming, the heat was getting a bit unbearable so he opted short a short sleeved shirt and shorts that showed his well developed legs from his training.
Daniel then went to the living room and slouche dupon the couch, lookign otusidem the raina nd thudner still echoing somewhat.

Heading to her room, Chelsea found Morgana who appeared in her room, talking about how Sojiro told them about Futaba and they were relieved now. "And how do you know about that, you sneaky furry little ninja?" Chelsea asked, looking at the black and white blue eyed cat. Morgana smiled, saying that she shouldn't underestimate his intel-gathering skills, Chelsea crossed her arms and looked at him, he was checking out Sojiro's home and was surprised that Futaba was so young. "Young as in how young?" Chelsea asked, Morgana couldn't say for sure but about the same age as them and the other thieves, based on her voice and she had long hair.
But he could say for sure that she was no amateur, cause she could overhear the conversation in the cafe and could hack into their chat logs. So that could mean that she had some lead on Medjed, however they needed to rely on her to get closer to Medjed. He agreed with her about meeting up at the cafe tomorrow and then going to ask Futaba or at least try to.

On the next day, ti was decided to learn mroe about Futaba, they ahd fileld in the Who adn Where parst fo the Metaverse nav but they needed the the what to truly enter the Palace, some were Prison, an unknown Dungeon with no Exit and an Osasis but nothing and Daniel loioked up at the house. "Not going to work byr andomyl blurting out such things, mayeb Futaba might give us a clue on it." Dnaiels aid and Morgana got them in inside and so begun the questiosn of for the keyword btu Futaba remained shut-in like a fortress.
Chelsea was talkign with Futaba and it turne dout Futaba goudn living in the house painful and she was goign to die here and that got Ann surprised. "I doutb Futaba's a suicidial person>" Dnaiel muttered and said this place was a tomb and lo and behold, that filled in the last keyword and Ryuji took the phone and actiavted it to which Morgana said don't activate it here.
The group found themselves in a desert, clear blue skies and Yusuke stated the obivous as Dnaiel ntoed their clothes remained teh same. "Guess we aren't eprceived as a threat bu Futaba and that's why we arne't in our usual attire, but damn it Ryuhji, think before you activate the Nav, if you did that in public, who knows if we'll eb seen disappearign or soemthing." Daniel said and felt the heat bear down.
Ann ntoed they were so close to ehr bedroom yet they were nowheere near the Palace as makoto did brign up she must want peopel to stay far away from her and there was somethign in the distance. "Huh mayeb that's the Palace? But walkign there may be a bit of a trek." Dnaiel noted as Morgana transformed into the van. "Well, so long a syou don't sink into the sand, we should be good?" Dnaiel said in an unsure tone, he had seen cars driving on sand so they may be alright

-Desert-
Entering the van, Morgana drove off to the tomb in the distance, Ann, Hermione, and Makoto sat in the first row, Makoto at the wheel, Daniel, Ryuji, and Yusuke in the middle row and and Chelsea, Anna, and Elsa in the back, the six in the first two were suffering from the heat of the sun, even the last row felt a little heat, Makoto wanted some water that Ann had but Ann had drank it all. She tried to air herself but unfortunately, Ryuji and Yusuke had gotten a peek at what she wore under her uniform, only Yusuke was trying to look away while Ryuji had a look of shock and awe on his face from gazing at Ann's chest. So she pushed the lever to punish him, which made the van move a bit.
Groaning, Chelsea looked and gasped out the window, "Guys! Look!" As they got closer, they saw their destination, a large pyramid. Everyone was amazed at the sight before them, Chelsea wasn't surprised, since pyramids were considered tombs in the past.
