The Phantom Thieves stood prepared and ready for their final infiltration of Junya Kaneshiro's Palace of Gluttony. They were going to steal his Treasure, and change his heart, and all of the pieces had finally been set in place to follow through with the heist.
"The calling card's been posted all over Shibuya..." Proclaimed Morgana
"A good idea, no?" Validated Makoto, proud of her efforts making sure the calling card reached Kaneshiro. "Given the theatrical nature of this one, Kaneshiro must surely have been contacted about it."
"You truly are the brains of this Phantom Thieves operation! Ryuji, you should follow her example!" Snided the cat.
"Y'know I'm the one who went postin' it everywhere, right!?" Retaliated the blonde. "I even had to get all dressed up so they wouldn't notice me!"
"Ryuji's got his own quirks and skills he brings to the table, don't be so harsh Mona." Sighed Y/N
"Come now, we don't have the time for idle chitchat. Let us get moving." Warned Makoto
"We're going up against a truly horrible criminal this time..." Ann breathed.
"That dick ain't gonna stop us now that we got our awesome new members!" Argued Ryuji, "Makoto, (F/N)! You remember how all this works?"
"Once we steal the Treasure, the Palace will crumble and the Palace ruler's heart will change." Answered Makoto
"Meaning we have to get the hell out of there, and fast." Concluded Y/N
"Wow, you two got that quick! I think Ryuji's still struggling to comprehend it all..." Quipped Morgana.
"The old me is dead. Makoto the sycophant is gone... and the corrupt adults who controlled her are next!" Rallied Makoto.
"Sounds like you're fired up!" Cheered Mona, "All right, Joker! Give us the signal!"
"Phantom Thieves, time to steal that Treasure!" Commanded Joker as the metaverse opened around them...
================================
Descending the final elevator to Kaneshiro's Treasure had everybody on edge. The experienced Thieves were wary of Kaneshiro being present to stop them from ultimately changing his heart, and both Makoto and Y/N were just as anxious.
However, upon arrival at the Treasure floor, it was nowhere in sight. Only a large safe, with a continually rotating surface.
"What the hell!?" Cried Ryuji.
"A safe!? This wasn't here the last time we came!" Echoed Mona, "He changed the entire room so quickly... Tch, I guess this Palace isn't a bank for nothing."
Almost on queue the purple Palace ruler appeared before The Phantom Thieves.
"Greetings. Welcome to my private city bank." He jested as a number of thugs appeared beside him, "I'm surprised you made it here alive. It seems you are quite lucky."
"Lucky? Don't be ridiculous." Retorted Makoto.
"We're gonna change your heart and make you confess everything you've done." Promised Ryuji, "That'll save all those people who're suffering 'cause of your shitty actions. Even the police are strugglin' to deal with you, so this'll make the public believe in us too!"
"Those in power work the ones below them to the bone for money. Such is the hierarchy of the world." Replied Shadow Kaneshiro, "Just accept your fate as a source of my wealth!"
"We'll never agree to that!" Exclaimed Yusuke.
"You're one messed up bastard." Snapped Y/N
"And hierarchy? You have to be out of your mind." Spat Ann.
