Grace arrive at school sat down on her seat as the teacher came in, "This might be the first time I actually care about an election! Isn't Shido cool?" asked the male student "A charismatic politician can make even apathetic young people excited, hm? Not only dose Mr. Shido have good judgement and decisiveness, he has important qualities as a leader. Like communication skills. Don't you think his words are easy to understand? Don't his speeches resonate with you?" asked Ms. Chouno ".....Everyone's getting tricked by his façade." said Ann to herself, after the school was done gang all met with Ren at Leblanc to the hideout "That man and Goro was responsible for me and Ren's mom's death..... Let's send the calling card already." said Futaba "Let's send it." said Ren "It's finally comin' down to this! So, how're we gonna send the callin' card?" asked Ryuji "It would be pointless to send it to the Diet Building." said Yusuke "Yes that is true and even if we handed it over to different media sources, who knows how it would be treated..... The worst case scenario would be giving it to the police under the table." said Daisy "What should we do then?" asked Noah "Let's ask Sae Niijima." said Ren "We just said that's not gonna work." sigh Ryuji as Futaba chuckled then everyone looked at her, "Um, Futaba-chan? Are you okay?" asked Grace "My Futaba Cannon is ready." said Futaba "Huh?" asked Makoto "It's good to go. Look. Now, if I do this....." said Futaba as she type in her laptop and turn it around to let the others have a peek in it then Makoto as shock to see it, "When did you make this!?" asked Makoto "You shoulda told us you were plannin' something!" said Ryuji shock "To trick your enemies, you first gotta trick your allies." said Futaba "How stylish." said Daisy "It's kickass!" cheered Ann "This should work nicely." said Grace "Alright! It's time for people to start comin' to their senses!" said Ryuji as they nodded and leaved as they waited for Futaba's signal. At night of Shibuya's central street as bunch of people was gathered to watch tv, the big tv at the building was on the news "We first start with national news. Since the young man suspected to be the leader of the Phantom Thieves died while in custody..... the police have officially announced that these crimes have come to an end, and assure everyone that the pace will be......." said the newscaster but then the tv was starting to get hazy and then pop up the Phantom Thieve logo, a lot of people were shock and surprise, "Yo! What is UP, everyone!" said Ryuji's voice "We are the ones who you all know as the Phantom Thieves." said Noah's voice "And all of us are alive and kickin'!" said Ryuji's voice as a lot more people came in front of the of the big tv screen then a Phantom Thieves logo disappear and then the this cat that with wick smile and zig zag tail "But those shitty guys in power? They've been manipulating information to try and hide the truth." said Noah's voice then the tv station saw what is happening, "What is this!? Where's it coming from!?" asked a guy "I dunno. We can't switch it out! Seems we aren't the only one affected either!" panic the other guy "So before we appropriate our next target..... We would like to first borrow your time!" said Daisy' voice "The recent events of public figures, the accidents caused by those incidents—These weren't caused by unknown reasons. One man is behind every single instance........simply to satiate his own greed." said Yusuke's voice "Is this for real?" asked an guy "That man was afraid his crimes would be exposed and shifted the blame on us. He even manipulated the police for that." said Makoto's voice "We only steal the hearts of criminals." said Futaba's voice "But this asshole tried to dump what he did on us." said Ryuji's voice as the police was panicking then the head officer was on the phone with someone while looking at his computer screen, "That just shows he doesn't care about those victims at all!" yelled Ryuji's voice "Are they stupid!? Shut the whole server down!" ordered the head officer as a lot of police officer were running back and forth panicking back at the Shibuya's Central Street with a lot more people there while video recording, "The identity of that cowardly man is......" said Noah's voice but then it when off as the officer cut that server off a lot of people were anger and restless of what just happen to the tv, "Da hell!? It was getting good!" yelled a man in Futaba's room; she looked at her computer in the grid that shows the servers that was shut down by the police officers, "Ooooh, the police reacted much faster than I thought. Tooooo baaaaaad......" said Futaba as she hack through and turn back on the server "Haha, I win!" giggle Futaba the people saw the crazy cat logo again on the tv screen and looked, "The man behind it all is a current cabinet member, of all things. The Minister of State for Special Missions....." said Noah's voice as the screen showed the word, 'BANG' in different colours and then showed a picture of Shido "Masayoshi Shido!" said Noah's voice as a lot of people were in shock "And to prove that....." said Ann's voice as the picture of Shido was gone then appeared a ten silhouettes of the Thieves in their outfits but not showing their faces, "Look! As you can see, all of us are alive and kicking!" said Makoto's voice "I'm sure the people investigating us can tell if this is a lie or not. Shido himself will soon confess all of the crimes that he's committed." said Daisy's voice as the head officer and two other police officers were watching in shock "Do you think this is a prank or not?" asked the police officer "Oooohhh????" said the other police officer as he was thinking "Please look forward to it, everyone!" said Grace's voice "No way, could this be....." said the head officer as the polices came to Shibuya Central Street and was starting to block the roads for the people "We're not gonna sit back and watch some crook wreck this country just 'cause his goddamn ego." said Ryuji's voice as the screen show Shido's picture again and the crazy cat logo was pretending to eat his head and drew a moustache on his face then the picture disappear and show the Thieves, Aren't that right..... Leader?" asked Grace's voice as Ren nodded and walked up to show his mask, "Hey! We can see his face!" yelled the man in the crowd "Yes. Before that happens, we will take this country!" said Ren's voice as every people that was watching was cheering then at the building; Shido was watching LIVE on his tablet as the views of that LIVE video was though the roof and paused on Ren's face, "Hello? Yes..... Yes...... We're looking into it now...... P-Please....." said one of Shido's guards "Very well. I'll crush them beneath my heel!" yelled Shido as it more and more police officers were out in Shibuya Central Street as more and more people were getting hype up then a meow sound came on and then the tv screen when off. At the interrogation hallways; the two directors were panicking on what just happened "Did the remaining members put that notices out!? What did they mean when they said 'nobody has died'!? Could they have installed a new leader just to threaten us and Shido!?" yelled the police director "W-We're going to check with the different departments......" said the chief detective then his phone rang "Excuse me...." said the chief detective as he pulled out his phone and answer the call "Yes. What.....!? How can that be!?" yelled the chief detective as he hung up and putted his phone away "The phantom thief's corpse seems to be missing from the morgue!" shock the chief detective "Didn't your men check the death certificate and carrier documents!?" yelled the police director "Yes, but.... um......" said the chief detective as he was trying to find the words to explain to the police director "Give me a straight answer!" yelled the police director as he was pointing to him to spill it, "Perhaps this phantom thief tricked us with his bizarre powers! Maybe he just made us think he had died....." said the chief detective "Whoo made those documents? Who was there at the scene of the suicide!?" yelled the police director as the chief detective was panicking. At Shido's office; Shido looked at his mans angrily as he slammed both hands down on his desk and stood up, "Find a way to stop a change of heart! Don't we have Wakaba Sakura's research materials!? And about Goro!? Where did that useless brat go!? He must have run away knowing he failed! Bring him here when you find him! Got that!?" yelled Shido as this two man was scared and as they ran away from his office, Shido slammed his hand down on the desk as the sky changed to an statically reddish-pink as it change to pitch black only show's Shido's Shadow but only see his eye aglow bright yellow "I'll kill any who gets in my way.... just as I've always done!" said Shadow Shido as the pitch black transform back to this reddish-pink back to normal.

He's alive!" yelled the police detective "Tch even so, how did he escape from the station?" asked the junior detective "It doesn't matter! We must catch him! We can't let this get out! Not only was the suicide announcement false, but he got away on top of that!" yelled the police detective as the third detective ran away fast "We'll have to interrogate you as a key witness." said the police detective Sae looked at the police detective "Why me?" asked Sae "Check the documents you created. You may remember once you look at them....... But even if you can't recall, all responsibility for his escape rests squarely on your shoulders." said the police detective as Sae put her hand on her eyes and shook her head, "I'm sorry, I honestly don't know whats going on here....." panicked Sae "You're the last person to talk to that phantom thief! You have to clean up your boss's mess! If you're going to rent someone, resent your dead director!" yelled the police detective as Sae looked at the police detective with a dirty look "Is illness really what killed him? Do you think his death was truly due to illness!?" yelled Sae as she got up "That doesn't matter! Your actions have made a mockery of the police force! You're going to pay for this, I promise!" yelled the police detective "......Very well." said Sae as the police detective and the junior detective walked away Sae looked them as they were walking away from a distance then she smile, "It's all up to you now, everyone." said Sae to herself as she catch up to the two detectives.

You're just some useless criminal's lapdog. Justice isn't on your side." said Sojiro angrily as they took him away. Everyone at the Shibuya Central Street TV screen outside as the crowd of people was watching Shido talking, "The notices put forth by these so-called Phantom Thieves is absolutely groundless. It is nothing more than a wicked terrorist act, aimed at obstructing the elections. What we need now is a powerful, unyielding leader. I am willing to risk my life to fight them." said Shido "Which one is right: Shido to the Phantom Thieves?" asked the businessman "I hear what Shido-san is saying, but is it true?" asked the pump housewife "I speak now to those who call themselves Phantom Thieves. Your actions are gravely serious crimes. You are rebelling against the laws of this country and unnecessarily causing alarm among its citizens. I call on you to surrender yourselves at once and apologize to the people of this proud nation." said Shido as the gang was watching and seeing the reactions of the people around them, "The Phantom Thieves cut into a live broadcast signal, didn't they? They're crazy....." said the gaudy young man "Ugh! But don't you think that Shido looks like a criminal too?" asked the girl "Huh, I don't know what to do anymore....." sigh the businessman "I hope they catch them soon....." said the pump housewife "That bastard Shido's tryin' to act all calm, but he's prolly freakin' out on the inside." whispered Ryuji as he smiled "'Apologize'? Quite the funny joke." whispered Yusuke "Yeah, like as if we would apologize to you." whispered Daisy "Who is the real criminal here?" whispered Grace "Yeah, now let's go." whispered Ren as the gang leaved Central Street and arrived at at the Diet Building, "A lot of people are gathered here...." said Daisy "Our calling card has had a tremendous effect." said Yusuke "I'm real proud of that one!" said Futaba "All they're doin' is makin' noise though....." complained Ryuji "Seriously. They should just go home and sleep....." said Ann "Ever after what happened, not many people want to see Shido have a change of heart.... What we're about to do is justice..... right?" asked Makoto "Yes, they'll see soon." said Noah "There you have it." said Morgana "You have a point." said Makoto "Hey, look over there." said Morgana as the gang was surprising to see Mishima running up to the crowd that was going on at the Diet Building "Whoa! Why's Mishima here!? Man, that kid's impressive...." said Noah as they all were shock "The Phantom Thieves are justice. I guarantee it." said Mishima "Heh..... Now that's what I like to hear." said Ryuji "There may not be any of them, but we have to cherish our fans." said Morgana with a smile "Let's go change Shido's heart!" cheered Grace they all nodded as the gang looked at the Diet Building then enter of Shido's Palace.
