Persona 5 Strikers – From Light and Dark

By Tayla Drago

(Note: Hi!!! I'm Tayla Drago – Anime lover and supporter of all voice actors who enjoys playing video games, some Persona games like Persona 5. Keiko, Morgana, and Akechi visit Yongen-Jaya to Cafe Leblanc to see their friends again – Ryuji, Ann, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru. Same with Sojiro and Sae. And some other people like Lavenza or Lava 'who was once Caroline and Justine of two becoming one' with some new ones to stop another threat to be causing trouble all over Japan. During Summer break too! Well, they use their powers once again as Team Drago of the Phantom Thief of Hearts making a comeback and to save the world while also solving the weirdest events to be going on. This takes place after the first original game from it, OK? From new friends aiding the group, others to meet with, and new enemies to stop. Some newer and older Personas as well. Sweet! Anyway, please enjoy my story.)

Episode #1 – Joker's painting it Black

It happened one night outside of the empty and creepy Shibuya Station area.... A beautiful night, things to be shown on the big screen TV of random thing, and no one else around for some strange reason with the cloud all cleared but for something, or rather...someone to be jumping around in the shadows from one building to another being...Wait! Keiko Amamiya/Joker?! She's back!?! Meaning that Keiko Amamiya herself is on to something for her to be searching around and to beware of her surroundings in the Shibuya spot where she's at right now. Like what though? Well, we all get to see her as Joker again from Team Drago of the Phantom Thief of Hearts aka The Phantom Thieves again along with the familiar voice to help guide her. Being Futaba Sakura/Oracle herself. Cool!

[Futaba: Careful, Joker! We got one comin' up!]

Whoa!!! Showing flying around Keiko to trapping her was a helicopter type of Shadow, which is something new compared to some of the Shadows in people's Palaces of the Metaverse and Mementos a while back. Open fire at Keiko, she tries out running the Shadow 'while still firing at her' all the way down from the building to avoid getting shot at and then jumping on top of it. What does Keiko do next? Well, removing the Shadow's mask of course.

Keiko: Gotcha!

Losing power because the mask has been removed, Keiko jumps down to safety before it bows up completely. With one down, other policemen type of Shadow army show up to not look so normal at all, there must be more Shadows walking towards Keiko 'in a zombie type of way'. Showing their masks as well, Keiko gets out her dagger to be ready to fight them all from cops, other helicopters, and machines for some transform into other familiar Shadows. From Jack O'Lantern(s) and Pixies too. Good times...For next time Keiko was good old Morgana/Mona to tell his partner and leader what she has to do to fight with these Shadows both old and new ones.

[Morgana: Alright, let's begin the operation!]

Both him and Futaba talk things through to aid Keiko in this battle.

[Futaba: That was one hell of an entrance, Joker! They're all riled up! Just keep at it! Go ham until you've drawn every last bit of attention!]

Here we go, Keiko battles all the way to get through so many Shadows...From kicking, punching, using her dagger, the powers of darkness she has, and her gun to fire off as many rounds as she could. Same with using random powers of Personas again besides Arsene, such as the gravity skills from Unicorn too. 'I'll say who the other ones are later on'.

Keiko: (OK, I can do this.) Here I am, Shadows! Come and get me...If you can.

They don't know who they were messing with. During Keiko's battle as she hears Futaba to go through the plan of hers. What type of plan was it?
