Book 6. I didn't think I'd make it this far. But after reading many persona fan-made stories I have come back for one final book. "Nothing to fear, no one to fight." Maki and her mother Yukari are tasked with the most difficult challenge, raising Ma...
Maki, Kotone, Yukari, Aigis, and Mitsuru found themselves returning to Paulownia mall. They hadn't been here in a while for the reason they're here now. They found strangely enough that the Velvet room door was once again waiting inside the alley behind the mall. They stepped into the door and found themselves in a slightly different version of the Velvet room. To everyone else it looked like a prison of sorts.

"What a surprise indeed. I hadn't expected to see any of you all here anymore." Igor was sat at his desk looking towards a singular cell. As the group looked towards it they saw two children standing in front of the cell door. Inside was a man who looked to be a few years younger than them. "My apologies for any disturbances my guest here may cause. He's not quite like you all or my dear Mr. Narukami. Mr. Amamiya here was a part of a group who called themselves the Phantom Thieves. They were a very notorious group who did some good but quite a bit of bad too. Amamiya has also committed some crimes against the Velvet room as well, hence why he is remaining inside the cell. But enough about him, what can I do for you?" Igor looked very intrigued as to why so many persona users were meeting him inside the Velvet room.
Just as Maki was about to speak Ren Amamiya from inside his cell spoke up, "Don't believe a word Igor says, I saved the world damn it. He has no right to do this to me. When I get out of here I'll use every persona I've got to destroy this place." One of the children guarding Amamiya's cell drew a very long stick with an electrical prod at the end and jabbed him with it. He cried out in pain as he slumped to the ground.
"Is he?..." Maki drifted off. Igor knew exactly what she was asking however. "He is indeed a Wild Card. However he was a far less fruitful one. He defeated Yaldabaoth, the god of control. However in doing so he has been corrupted by it. The crime he committed was using his persona abilities to cause harm. As the power of Yaldabaoth took hold over him he killed most of his team in an attempt to gain more power, we now hold him here for the safety of your world." They took the info in as they looked at Ren, his eyes were glowing a bright yellow and were filled with pure hate.
"Well you once told me that I may have the power to reverse my father's death correct? I was hoping you could help us figure out how to do that." Igor took the request and pondered his next move very quickly. He stepped out from his desk as the two children looked at each other and realized what this meant. "It would seem that the master of stories has completed his end of our request. Aigis turned around and asked them about what they meant. "The master of stories is the ultimate being who creates and builds our destinies. He is the one who has brought forth the world you live in currently.He could bring or end life at any given moment should he choose." One girl said.
"I comprehend. So this master of stories would be the same persona we met after we damaged the Mirror of Reality correct?" Aigis asked, the two girls nodded as Aigis joined her friends along with Igor as he warped part of the wall of the Velvet room to form a new area for them to gather in.
"Ms. Yuki if you could be so kind as to step forward. I need you to channel your inner most strength and bring for the Universe." Maki stepped right in front of Igor as she held out her hands and focused as hard as she could. Soon a glowing white orb formed before everyone. She continued to focus as the orb began to take a new form and morphed into a human-like shape. It soon gained color as the persona soon gained a black outfit and dark blue hair. Everyone gasped in amazement before being hurled back against the far walls. Igor was also sent back as everyone was knocked out aside from Maki and the newly formed Makoto.
Ren realized his advantage as he grabbed a key off of one of the children guards and opened his cell. Maki turned around and saw Ren standing over everyone as he ripped off his face summoning a persona, "Thanatos Picaro!" Maki realized she didn't have an Evoker and so Thanatos Picaro slashed her into the back wall. Makoto floated down to the floor as Ren tried to have Thanatos Picaro slash as Makoto. Makoto chuckled as Thanatos Picaro swung his sword. In a flash a new persona was among everyone. Thanatos Telos, a form that Makoto hadn't summoned before. The two ultimate forms of Thanatos battled, Thanatos Telos had the edge though being the purest form of Thanatos.
"You think you're the most powerful? You're nothing but a useless idiot." Ren yelled. Just as he smirked he was slashed across the face as Thanatos Telos destroyed Thanatos Picaro and hit Ren in the process. Ren was sent flying back into his cell as Makoto walked over and slammed the cell door shut. He held up his hand as everyone awoke and got back to their feet. Makoto hadn't spoken a word since he was reformed form the Universe.
"Makoto?" "Yuki?" "Honey?" "Dad?" everyone walked up to Makoto as he held a black stare on his face, as Maki looked in her father's eyes they turned from a blank grey back to blue. Once his smiled returned to his face Maki hugged her father as everyone yelled his name. "Dad! Oh my God, you're back!" Maki had her face buried in her father's jacket as everyone was hugging him crying. Within the Universe held Makoto, Makoto became the Universe itself. Ren soon awoke as well as he realized he was once again trapped inside his cell. The two children guarding him gave the key back to Igor who made it disappear never to be seen again. Ren then slumped to the floor as he realized he would never escape from his prison ever again. Igor walked up to Makoto as he held out his hand to shake. "I believe there are some final things for us to discuss. You have been a most excellent guest of the Velvet room, you gave your life countless times and even found multiple ways to prevent death from taking you forever. The Velvet room will always be a home away from home for you. Should you need any advice or guidance you may always return to me and I will help you to the best of my abilities. I bid thee farewell. May life flourish upon you once and for all."
As everyone stepped towards the door Yukari told Makoto that a lot had changed since he was killed. He prepared himself for what was about to happen. As they all stepped forward they were greeted by everyone tackling Makoto to the ground as everyone who hadn't been in the Velvet room. Junpei, Fuuka, Chidori, Shinjiro, Akihiko, and Ken were the main people to hug Makoto as hard as possible. "Thank goodness you're back. How did they bring you back?" Fuuka asked. Mitsuru explained that they should head to a more private location for the conversation. They all found their way back to Makoto and Yukari's house as they waited outside. Yukari informed Makoto on the drive back that they have a son. Makoto was very happy when he heard the news. Once everyone arrived in the yard Makoto briefly explained. "I'm not fully the Makoto who saved everyone. I have my memories and powers. But I am not fully human anymore. I am a persona. The Universe, the be specific." Kotone and Maki were the only ones who fully understood it.
As everyone was celebrating outside Minato heard the noise outside and decided to investigate. He saw his mom, older sister, and his aunts and uncles all outside with a man that he didn't know but looks almost identical to him. "Mom?" Minato said as he walked up to everyone. They turned and saw him before they realized. "Minato." Yukari said as she knelt down and picked him up. Yukari walked up to Makoto while holding Minato. "Minato this is your father. He managed to find a way to come back to us from death." Minato was left confused as Makoto looked him in the eyes. Makoto held out his hand as Minato took it. Suddenly he was able to understand everything. He held out his hands to be held by his father as they hugged. Makoto held Minato as the two had their first father-son bond together. Everyone was happy about the whole ordeal as they had lots of laughs.
