"I hope they're okay too miss Ann." Kenneth calmly told her as he looked at the puzzle before him that resembled a scrambled picture of sorts with graphics akin to a hieroglyphic of sorts. He started to quickly unscramble the picture.

Daniel looked at the jumbled painting as Makoto moved it around, it even rotated a bit and Daniel wondered what it'd show. "Least it's not a jigsaw puzzle with many pieces, we'd be here all day." Daniel admitted and let Makoto do the job as he looked around the area, why did some retro character appear? It led him to wonder what Futaba's original Palace woudl fo ahd if it kept with the Pyramid theming.
"Got it Queen?" Dnaiel asked her, lookign voer to Makoto to see what the result was.

"Got it!" Makoto said, at the same time, Chelsea and the third group completed the pictures, each other telling a story. That Futaba cared and loved her mother, though she was a little whiny, however her mother found it hard to juggle her work and raising her child. One day, she witnessed her mother suddenly collapse in front of traffic and was killed, afterward, a group of men in black suit read a apparent suicide note in front of Futaba and her relatives, making seem that it was Futaba's fault that her mother was killed.
"Wow, that's awful......" Anna said, looking at the images. Chelsea kept quiet, feeling bad for the young girl and gripping a fist. Hermione looked at her and grabbed her fist, calming her down.

"Hmmm..." Daniel looked to the story and rubbed hsi chin a bit. "Something isn't right here..." Dnaiel said and Elsa asked what he mant. "Well, normally there isn't any men in black suits and usually Futaba would be passed onto a next of kin, if her mother did write a suicide note despite that the boss said she loved Futaba despite her work.. Plus the mother wouldn't of had Futaba if she wasn't all work... Futaba is eventually adopted by the Boss yet se would normally go to a relatives first..." Daniel admitted.
"From what it says, the sucide note or the picture indiactes Futaba was blamed for the death when she couldn't be no older than four or five at best, so blaming someone that young isn't exactly right... I dare say something more happened in Futaba's life than the Boss told us, if she isn't housed with relatives, then eitehr they weren't as caring as relatives should be or... Futaba's guilt and such from such a young age being told those things may be leading her down a darker path than just being a shut-in." Daniel said in concern, it was obivously bad.
"If I am right in my assumptions... we got to do this for mainly Futaba's sake both physically and mentally, lets reconvene with everyoen at the big door that's unlocked and hopefully we'll ahve easy passage to the Treasure." Daniel said, following a path that led towards the main door.

Kenneth was already in front of the large door after having finished the picture, an eerie silence overtaking the atmosphere as the brunette did not speak up. Deep within his own body, the SOUL that was housed began to crack with a glowing light. The brown eyes staring at the door knowing something had to be done and something had to be done soon for the girl.

The two group ran up behind Kenneth and looked at the closed door in front of them. "How are we going to open this?" Anna asked, looking at the door. Chelsea said, "We need to change Futaba's cognition to get this open, but how, I have no idea." She crossed her arms and thought, Hermione looked at the door and wondered how to open it too. Everyone kept quiet, trying to think about how to change Futaba's cognition so they could open the door.
Elsa thought with Anna, looking at the huge closed door in front of them and pondered, standing in silent.

The words "You can save her, she doesn't have to die." echoed in Kenneth's mind for a good long moment before he summoned forth the Ice Key in his hand, while everyone else was talking about how to get the door unlocked, the brunette pointed the keyblade at the door and fired a beam unlocking with a loud click causing it to come open. Channeling his inner Mario, the brunette ran through the door shouting. "Let's-a go!" He ran across a long red girder beam before going through a door of light that stood waiting.
Kenneth soon arrived on another red girder, this time somewhat slanted with a barrel of oil sitting not far from his position, blue ladders still led upwards before his brown eyes caught the sight of a familiar brown gorilla at the top of the structure throwing barrels and pounding his chest. To Kenneth he knew all too well what was about to happen as his eyes could also make out a female shape too on a small platform near the gorilla.

Daniel was talking with the others until Kenneth called them as teh door was unlocked and Daniel wodnered what he did to change her cognition and advanced on, seeing the stage was different than before and Daniel put a hand to his face. "Oh great..." Dnaiel said, he never played the game but he was fmailiar this si was where it started for someone, it seemed it was more of coordination and timing to jump over the rolling barrels but also to grab the ladders and if they all went at the same time, it'll be crowded, not unless they spaced out the group but considering Ann having heels and Ryuji's knee trouble, that would be hard for them to do, Makoto could drive through the barrels but she might injure herself.
"Well.. if the mechanics are the same, we only need one person to complete it." Daniel observed.

"I barely played the game." Chelsea said, scanning the area and thinking in her mind about possible candidates, her eyes closed in thought. Herself and Daniel are more RPG and adventure gamers, Morgana was a cat, Yusuke preferring painting to gaming, Makoto was student council president and focused on her studies, Ann was a model, Ryuji had a knee injury that prevented him from so far, Elsa and Anna never played games before, and Hermione was a bookworm. Thinking over everyone and their skills, Chelsea opened her eyes and stepped up. "I know who should go and save Futaba."
"Who?" Ann asked, Chelsea patted Kenneth's shoulder. "You should go and get her. You seem to know the area better than the rest of us and how to handle things in something like this. So you go and we'll stay behind as back up.

Kenneth looked at Chelsea and gave a slow nod. "Alright, but even though I have played this game before, I'm not perfect at it..so we'll need to take some steps." The brunette looked over at the barrel behind them and explained. "Fox, if you don't mind. I need you to freeze that barrel. DK's going to be throwing a lot of barrels and if certain blue ones touch that barrel they will spawn fire that's sentient and intent on killing us...especially me." Kenneth then looked ahead as the barrel was being frozen. "Otherwise our only concern is getting up the area, if this is the same way then we are in for a loooong trip to the top. Here we go!" Kenneth soon started to run forward jumping, flipping, and climbing up the structure with seemingly no problem until he was almost to the top where a stray bouncing red and white ring almost slammed into the brunette. Kenneth looked in the direction to see four imposing creatures, three male and one female. Their spiked shells and features almost instant as Kenneth said. "I didn't think these guys would show up here..." The eyes were yellow indicating that these were Shadows made to resemble four of the Koopalings...specifically Larry, Morton, Wendy, and Iggy. "Iggy" laughed crazily. "Sorry Mario, but I'm afraid we're not going to let you through here that easily!" "Larry" grinned. "King Dad mobilized the whole Koopa Troop just to deal with you." Kenneth looked up and then ahead as he shouted to Chelsea. "Hey I'm going to need some of you guys to deal with Bowser's children. They're trying to get rid of me." He then looked at Daniel and Elsa. "Snow, you and Demon should come with me..." Kenneth quickly flipped over the four Koopalings in surprise and made it to the top where Donkey Kong stood in wait, the brunette climbed the ladder only for DK to grab Futaba and quickly move up.
Kenneth soon arrived on a moving conveyor belt where piles of sand were being moved around and DK stood at the top grinning with sentient fire moving around the place. Kenneth looked at Daniel. "Be very careful, those piles of sand are not pies and they will kill you." Kenneth then looked at Elsa telling her. "I'm going to need you to freeze that barrel making those fires, other than that the only thing to worry about is the moving belts." Kenneth quickly moved and climbed up the structure only to be blocked off by Shadows resembling Lemmy, Roy, and Ludwig. Kenneth clearly didn't have time for them as he said. "Somebody deal with these three! Demon come with me." DK quickly grabbed Futaba and climbed higher up with Kenneth and Daniel in pursuit.
The two soon arrived in an area where elevators and platforms were all over the place with fire moving about and no barrel to stop the flow, the two made their way across and were jumping up where Shadows resembling Bowser and Bowser Jr. landed in front of them seemingly blocking their progress. "Bowser" laughed looking at Kenneth. "You're too late Mario, soon the princess will give up and I will have complete control of the Mushroom Kingdom. Even your brother doesn't stand a chance." Kenneth stared at Bowser and his son as DK ran with Futaba in his arms up the ladder, the brunette looked at Dan and remarked jokingly. "Okay..I'm going to let Luigi here deal with you..ciao!~" Kenneth then vaulted himself over Bowser's head and followed DK up the ladder.

"Brother? Oh geez..." Dnaiel rubbed behind his head in somewhat a sigh as if he had no choice but to accept the role. "And I'm probably the least experienced man to know how it works... Ah well.." Dninel said as 'Bowser' shot out a fire ball whike 'Jr' thrown some bombs as Daniel didn't look all that worried. "Least nobody from this world can see my other abilites... so Amon's gonna take a back seat." Dnaiel raised his arm and formed a hastily made Rho Aias that was two petals as the attacks connected, causing an explosion as Daniel pocketed his mask.
"Sorry you two but this useless brother is going to kick your asses that even you'll learn to respect." Daniel said as the smoke cleared he lowered the shield and summoned his Keyblade and shot a Blizzaga, making the floor icy and he jumped, actually grinding along the formation being made and shot otu a Firaga at thorwn bombs, settign them off prematurely, causing smoke as the two coughed and when the smoke was forcibyl cleared, Daniel was wieldingSerah's bow charged with energy similar to ehr Ultima Arrow and fired as it spitl itno many projectiles before landing on the ground, the weapon disapparing as 'Bowser' charged at him, intent on squashign him like a bug and Daniel raised his hand up.
"I wouldn't if I were you... Kurama." Daniel said as an orange chakra claw caugth Bowser and slammed him down intot he ground with an obivous soudn of pain. "Time to end the little oen first, you're just big and stupid." Dnaiel said and formed gae Bolg and thrown it at 'Jr' who was skewered efforting before dissappatign itno Shadows.
"Now for the big guy.. You know, I never got how you and Mario got so popular, I guess I had ot be one of those people to play the game to understand the console war going on until Sony, Xbox and Microsoft made it all literally come to an end,, I was more of a Sonic person,a shame, Rosalina is an attractive woman and I'd probably woudl of lvoed seeing her... but you were probably the first troller with that whole Peach-napping every single time, I knwo you aren't the real thing and probably won't say anything the real Bowser would but eh, it's said and done,t iem to finish you off and wait for the others before checkign if he's done his job." Dnaiel said and formeda handless Rasenshuriken, throwing it before Bowser was shredded down to nothingness, humourously enough the onyl things left behidn was Yen.
"What would Shadows do with Yen? Hmmm, you know, that is a good question but it's probably left unsaid, better wait for Snow and the others before proceeding on." Daniel said and waited.

While everyone else fought and worked their way up, Elsa used her ice powers to help her against what she was facing. She summoned her Persona, Sarah, to help her, the ragged doll-like princess used her doll toy to send a wave of flames then a strong wind. Chelsea sent fireballs through Matatabi's power and any powerful Persona she had on hand.
Futaba groaned, opening her eyes, her vision fuzzy and blurry and she was completely out of it, having no idea where she was.

~Futaba's Palace~
Kenneth had made his way to the top of the structure, the blue scaffolding being held up by eight rivets. DK stood on the second-highest platform with Futaba on the platform above him. Kenneth tightened a fist and ran climbing up the nearest ladder and dashed across the area and rivets causing them to vanish with fires pursuing him. Eventually he had made seven of the rivets vanish before standing face to face with DK on the other side and the final rivet in front of the brunette. Kenneth merely grinned jumping over the rivet shouting. "Game over, Donkey Kong!" The structure shook and DK fell off of the collapsing structure hitting his head on the girders as the top most girder with Futaba locked itself in at the top.
With DK down below defeated, the brunette took a moment to let the feeling sink in and walked up to Futaba. Once he stood close he gently caressed hug into a hug and calmly said to her. "It's okay, you're safe...that big gorilla won't do anything to you." Recalling the images he had seen the brunette slowly sat down while still hugging Futaba and gently held her and quietly explained. "Listen, it's not your fault. Despite what had happened and what you had went through prior to being adopted, you're still you and I am sure your mother was trying to protect you and keep you safe from harm." Kenneth looked around making sure that Daniel and the others weren't there before looking at the orange-haired girl with a bit of tears in his eyes, he slowly took the red hat off of his head and placed it on Futaba's head. "Listen...I'm no Mario...I'm no Sonic either, but I want you to remain safe...and I myself have been a little reckless trying to find my reason to do what I need to do...but now I know and I understand what's more important than risking my own life." He then hugged her tighter. "I will keep you safe...if you will let me, after all you've been through a lot of grief."

-Futaba's Palace- Daniel pacaed the mask back on his face and waited for the others who did arrive. "Well, lets get going, the commander of the operation went on ahead." Daniel said and wlaked with them, ANn asking how his fight was. "Parent and child Shadow, they weren't that much coordinated and use dtheir own tactics aginst him, after all, if you are outnumbered, use your opponent's strength against them." Daniel said rather sagely as they reache dteh top fo the structure, seeing Kenneth and Futaba, Kneneth ina hug whiel Futaba probably was just confused and Daniel let loose a cough for them to be heard causing Kenneth to immediately jumped abck and look shyly away.
"Save your romantic heart stealing for another time." Daniel said, trying to sound professional and looked upon Futaba who was disoritenetd and confused as to where they were. "We're the Phantom Thieves of Hearts here on your request Miss Sakura, though... this is a case we haven't experienced before, the person whose heart we're changing inside their actual Palace... if this is even your Palace to begin with sinc eit was more... hot sun and deserts." Daniel said, surveying the area.

Futaba tried to stand, but fell. Chelsea caught her and gently set her down next to Kenneth, she said, "Don't move so suddenly. I imagine this is where your Treasure since we're in the deepest place of the Palace. At this point, it would be just a blurry floating blob. So excuse us while we make a calling card for you. Fox, do you think you could make a calling card on the fly? Queen, help him." Ryuji said that he wanted to help, Chelsea nodded, "Fine, Skull. Go ahead." She sighed, shaking her head. While Yusuke, Makoto, and Ryuji began to work on the calling card, Futaba began to gain her bearings and saw everyone around her.
She was surprised to see most everyone in masks and their unique attires, one appearing to be a gang biker or something similar in a skull mask, a person wearing red latex with a cat mask, some kind of cat creature in a mask, a person in a iron mask who looked like a raider, she wasn't sure about the one with platinum blond hair or the one with strawberry blond hair or what they're supposed to be, there was one with bushy brown hair who looked dressed for a opera or something, then there was the one next to her dressed in red and overalls, finally the one who looked like a demon and a dragon. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
