(Metaverse, Madarame's Palace)
"Oh yeah, we haven't figured out your codename", Mona said as everyone looked at Yusuke
"It has to be Kitsune, you know, with that kitsune mask and everything", Panther stated
"Are you talking about me", Yusuke asked, confused
"What do you want your name here to be", Panther asked
"I'd say "Da Vinci", Yusuke said
"Nope", Skull said
"How about Fox", Joker asked
"What do you think Fox", Mona asked
"It's acceptable", Fox said with a smile
"It's settled then, let's go", Skull said as everyone entered the Museum; from fighting shadows, going into paintings, and going through a labyrinth, The Phantom Thieves finally made it to the treasure room and secured the route to the treasure.
(Real World , Evening, Texting)

(The Next Day, Daytime, Madarame's Exhibit)
Madarame was notified about the Calling Card, as he was handed the card, he began to read it out-loud to himself
"Sir Ichiryusai Madarame, a great sinner of vanity whose talent has been exhausted; you are an artist who uses his authority to shamelessly steal the ideas of his pupils, we have decided to make you confess all your crimes with your own mouth; we will take your distorted desires without fail, From, The Phantom Thieves",
"Whose doing this", Madarame mumbled angrily as he crumpled the calling card
"It's those brats doing isn't it, well it means nothing; they'll only be able to do as they please until this exhibit ends",
Yusuke walked over behind two fake walls to meet up with the others
"Will that do", Yusuke asked
"Yup, that was perfect", Ann said
"The treasure should appear right about now", Morgana stated
"Everyone ready", Luna asked
"Let's do this", Akira said as they all entered the metaverse.
"Beginning Navigation"
(Metaverse, Madarame's Palace)
Everyone arrived back into the palace, they infiltrated the Museum once again, and found the treasure; however... lasers were guarding it and Shadow Madarame stood in front of the treasure
"How are we supposed to get to it now", Skull asked as everyone looked around
"Thankfully, I play video games, if you want something done, then you wait for light's out", Light stated as she pointed towards a control room, and a hook above the treasure
"That should work, but we'll have to be quick, if we split up, it should work, one takes the control room, the other takes the hook", Joker stated; with the plan in motion, everyone split up, Panther, Skull, and Fox took the control room, while Joker, Light, and Mona, took the hook; Mona was attached to the hook while the others were ready to turn off the lights, as Mona was being lowered down, the lights went out; by the time they came back on, the treasure was gone, and The Phantom Thieves made their escape; as they made it to the central courtyard, Mona stopped moving
"I wanna see the treasure", Mona said happily as he took off the blanket that hid Madarame's treasure, by the look of the treasure, it seemed to be a painting
"Treasure", Mona said happily then then everyone just starred at the painting in disbelief, what they had... was a fake.
"Meddlesome fools, is this what you're looking for", Shadow Madarame said looking over at a shadow that held a painting.
"So, you had a fake prepped, huh", Skull yelled in anger
"Counterfeits are accepted in the world of Japanese arts, I suppose I can grant you a gift before you die; a glimpse of Sayuri", Shadow Madarame said as the shadow held up the portrait for all to see, it was the same Sayuri that everyone saw, however... in the woman's arms was a baby, with blue hair.
"That's the true Sayuri... this can't be... mom", Fox mumbled
"What", Skull said confused on what was happening
"Indeed it is, this was painted by your mother, a portrait of herself", Shadow Madarame stated evilly as the painting was taken away Shadow Madarame changed into four versions of himself; however, his robe was no longer gold, but one of four colors, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red.
"Umm... what's going on", Skull asked
"Madarame split himself, this might be troublesome", Mona stated
"But how can we get to the real Madarame", Fox asked
"If we can defeat the four Madarame's here, we might just reveal the true Madarame", Mona stated again as everyone nodded their heads and began fighting the Madarame clones; as the clones fell, the real Shadow Madarame appeared and was easily taken down; Shadow Madarame backed away from Fox fearfully as Fox walked up to him.
"No one cares for true art, all they want are easily recognizable brands, I'm a victim in this too... won't you agree", Shadow Madarame yelled as he was beginning to cry
"Excuses now", Skull yelled angrily
"The art world revolves around money after all... You can't ride up without any money... Yusuke, you understand, don't you, being a poor artist is truly miserable; I just didn't want to return to that life", Shadow Madarame yelled, begging the Phantom Thieves to not take away his treasure and to just leave him alone.
"You have no right to speak about art, your done for, along with this world", Fox stated, "return to yourself in reality and confess your crimes, all of them",
"What about the other one though, the one in the black mask", Shadow Madarame asked fearfully
"Who", Joker asked confused at what Madarame said
"A black mask", Light mumbled, confused as well
"What's he talking about", Panther asked
"It can't be, there was another intruder besides us in the palace", Mona said in shock as the palace began to shake
"There's no time, hurry", Skull yelled as Mona turned into a car
"Get in", Mona yelled as everyone got in the car Fox grabbed Sayuri painting and got in Car Mona and the Phantom Thieves left the Museum.
(Real world, Afternoon, Shibuya, Access-way)
"The destination has been deleted"
"I guess the mission was a success, all that's left is to see if he had a change of heart or not", Ryuji said as he grabbed a soda; he then chugged down the soda and belched in front of Ann
"Stop that", Ann yelled annoyed
"Your so immature, Ryuji", Morgana mumbled, annoyed
"Am not", Ryuji shouted annoyed
"At any rate, I'm curious... another intruder besides us, huh", Morgana stated
"The only clue we got is a black mask, doesn't necessarily mean it's just one person, right", Ann asked
"But there's no way to check anymore, the Palace is gone", Ryuji said leaving everyone in questions of who is the person in the black mask.
