3rd person pov

Y/n was told there would be a mission for him and everyone else. He headed to planeptune's basilicom to discuss their strategy. Along the way y/n bumped into a woman in a business suit and caused her to drop her papers.

Y/n: i'm sorry, i wasn't looking.
???: it's alright.

The thief helped the woman pick up her papers. The woman saw the masked thief and recognized who he was.

???: oh. You must be that zero the goddesses talked about.
Y/n: hmm?
???: the goddesses announced that you are working along side them. Is this true?
Y/n: of course. I gotta go. Do you have a name?
Rei: rei ryghts.
Y/n: alright rei. See ya.

Y/n headed to the basilicom and saw everyone he befriended so far. Someone stepped in and talked in a very drowsy way. It was plutia.

Y/n: (in head) oh yeah. I forgot about plutia. Maybe i can make friends with her.
Plutia: guyyyys i'm booooored. Oh heyyy y/n.
Y/n: you seem pretty tired. Did you sleep well last night?
Plutia: yes. But i'm soooo booored.
Y/n: you guys said there's a mission right?
Noire: not today. We'll tell you when.
Y/n: maybe i can spend some time with plutie while i wait.
Plutia: yayyy.

Suddenly a flash of light got into y/n's eyes. After opening his eyes again, he saw... Iris heart.

Iris heart: suprised to see me y/n?
Y/n: yeah. I thought about spending time with you plutie.

Iris chuckled and pulled out a whip which caused y/n to back up to a wall. He looked at iris again and saw she was very close to him and her chest was in front of him because she was taller in HDD.

Iris heart: i'd love to spend time with you. Come with me and we can get a bit... Personal.

Iris then caressed the thief's mask. Y/n was well aware of what she ment by that. He looked at her and spoke in a serious tone.

Y/n: no.
Iris heart: i'm not letting you go until i've had my fun with you, my pet.

Y/n looks at iris in the eyes and slaps her across the face, causing her to fall. She gives a chuckle and gets back up ready to get y/n. Neptune was behind y/n in HDD to help him out, but he put his arm in front of her.

Y/n: don't worry. I can take care of this by myself.
IF: are you insane?!
Y/n: a little bit.

Last surprise - Persona 5 plays

Nobody knew why y/n was gonna take on iris by himself. But maybe a thief with his power can take on this type of situation. Iris grabbed y/n's hands with her whip and saw that he wasn't concerned in the slightest.

Iris heart: submitting already? Such a good boy.
Y/n: nobody said i was surrendering.

Y/n gathered dark energy and created a ball of darkness in his hands.

Y/n: Eigaon!

Y/n fired a beam of dark energy at iris. She didn't want to get beaten by the umbrakinetic teenager, so she let go of y/n and backflipped out of the way. The beam then exploded into several smaller spikes that where about to stab iris. She managed to dodge his attack, but was not giving up.

Iris heart: you're more entertaining that i thought you were.
Y/n: i'm guessing that's a compliment.

Iris tried grabbing the thief with her whip, but y/n was swift enough to get close to her. Y/n pulled out his dagger and kept on deflecting away Iris Heart's whip. Iris looked at y/n menacingly and converted her whip into a sword.

Y/n: (in head) i managed to reduce her range but with that big ass sword she'll hit me harder than with that whip.

Iris charged to y/n and their blades collided with one another. Y/n tried to stab her at different angles but she was quick to counter each of his attacks. Y/n backflipped and pulled out his gun after putting some distance between him and iris.

Y/n: plutie, this can end right now.
Iris heart: i haven't had my fun with you yet. It'll end when i want it to.
Y/n: it ends with one of us collapsing.
Iris heart: this is why i will be the one to make it out on top!

Iris then dashed towards y/n at full speed.

Y/n: down shot!

The thief then jumped and did flips while shooting at iris heart's direction. The bullets hit her legs which caused to fall to her knees and she was greeted with a gun in her face

Iris heart: what...?!
Y/n: you've been a very bad girl.

Music stops.

Y/n pulled the trigger and fired. Iris slowly opens her eyes to see that the thief didn't shoot her, but shot beside her. Y/n crouched and hugged iris.

Iris heart: you're... Sparing me?
Y/n: yes.
Iris heart: but why? I was at your mercy.
Y/n: because i care about you. That's what friends do.

Iris blushed at what the young thief said and decided to hug him as well.

Y/n: compa, can you please heal this one's wounds for me?
Compa: i'm on it.

Plutia transformed back to normal and was taken away to be healed. Y/n however was feeling a bit heavy.

Y/n: guys, i'm really tired after that fight. IF, i'm going to stay at the apartment for today.
IF: sure. You've already been through a lot.

As y/n leaves the basilicom a new card appeared before him.

Y/n: looks like that fight got me a new friend to add to the list

Y/n grabbed the card and felt plutia's strength growing with his and went to the apartment and chose to sleep the entire day.
