I woke up, to find myself on the bed, fully dressed. Tears falling from my eyes down to my cheeks wetting the pillow. I wiped away my tears, got up and headed down stairs. I recall Igor's words in my mind, echoing.
"The Beginning of the End."
"What do you me-." Yu was cut off from Elizabeth.
"Just like master said, the Beginning of the End." Elizabeth said.
Both of us, shocked, not knowing what to say, shivered in fear.
"We called both of you,to destroy it- the chaotic creature Erebus - from destroying humanity." Theodore continued.
"So that's why we have called you both. The ones who faced this situation before. Killing Izanami and you killing Yaldaboath " Igor said while pointing at both of us.
"This is different." I said raising my voice.
"This is not like those time, this is humanity, all of humanity calling towards Nyx!" I shouted towards Igor.
"He's right. I don't even think there is a way to destroy or even,at least stop it." Yu continued.
Its true I defeated Yaldaboath but this is something else, all of humanity is calling towards this chaotic creature. Why? I couldn't find the answer then-
"Haven't you seen this before, its the same like the people who relied on Shido and the same people that wanted the fog in Inaba. I know I'm asking so much from you but please, if Minato didn't seal it then it would be the end of the world." Igor said.
"But-" Yu was cut off from Elizabeth.
"He believed at some point, Nxy will be destroyed and humanity will have a change of heart." Elizabeth continued.
"This is his will." Igor said.
Both of us, ashamed on what we said, bowed and said sorry.
"I will want to carry the burden that our predecessor has carried alone." Yu said.
"Who said he was alone? He has friends just like who carried this burden with them. Trying to save their friend from imprisonment."
Igor replied.
"They would have  done the same, huh." I said remembering my friends faces.
"Well then what do we do?" Yu said.
"That is for you to decide." Then we woke up back to where we were. In the present, Ryuji is-
"Ren-Ren, snap out of it!" Ryuji shouted in my ear while snapping his fingers in front of me. Waking me up from my day dream, I realised that I was drinking a cup of coffee.
"What were you day dreaming about?" Makoto said while face palming her face.
"Yeah that's right ,leader." Morgana meowed.
"You do know his not the leader anymore, right?" Yusuke said while looking at Morgana.
"Yeah, didn't we  disband it." Haru said.
"And you were sleeping for two HOURS!" Ann poking at my shoulder.
"Yeah, moving on what are were you day dreaming about?" Said Futaba with a curious expression.
"Fine... I'll tell you what happened."
I told them the reason I blacked out,then told them about me ending up in the Velvet Room with another wildcard. I then told them about Erebus and the Seal - Minato the person who sacrificed himself as the seal between Nxy and Humanity. I also them about what he prevented - the 'Fall' and how the Seal is broken - marking the beginning of the end.
I told them everything. There was silence and a tense air that almost feel like you being choked.
"So, basically the end of the world is coming,right?" Ryuji, broke the silence with an stupid question.
"Weren't you listening, thick head!" Ann pulled Ryuji's cheeks, making everybody laughed and relaxed.
"Well, what now?" Makoto asked.
"We rally up with the others." I said with confidence.
"But where?" Morgana said, destroying my confidence.
Then suddenly, I get a phone call. It was from an unknown person. I answered.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Its me, Narukami."
"Yu!? How do you know my number?"
"Lavenza told me. Anyway, are you near any Velvet Room doors." He asked.
"No, why?"
"You should be able to get back here using the door, right now I'm in the Velvet Room with my friends and S.E.E.S."
"Who?" I asked.
"No time to explain. Get here now." He hung up on me.
"Who was that?" Futaba questioned.
"A friend. Right now, we have to go to Tokyo." I said, and their showing their confused faces.
"There is no time to explain this but I do know one thing." I said.
"What's that." Everyone asked.
"The Phantom Thieves of Heart is going to save the world, one more time." I said looking at them.
"Alright leader." Morgana said
Their were excited and speechless.

Then after that we packed up, and headed to Tokyo where the nearest Velvet Door was.
It was there, down the black alley.
We went through it and saw a giant door and a small desk. The floor covered with two groups. I saw Narukami waving at me.
"You made it." He said.
"Yeah. Couldn't keep a blind eye on this." I replied.
"Nobody can. Let me introduce you to the others." He said while walking towards them.
"This is S.E.E.S  or-." He was cut of from a brunette in a school uniform.
"Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad, I'm Mitsuru Kirijo, from the Kirijo group, leader of the squad, and this is Akihiko Sanada, second in command." She said.
"Nice to meet you. I hope you're strong as you look." He said smirking.
"This is Yukari Takeba and Junpei Iori, our front assault squad." Both of  them bowed to us, smiling.
"And this Fuuka Yamagishi, our support, she helps us mobilize our units. This Ken Amada and Aigis."
"Nice to meet you." Said the young Ken.
"Pleasure to meet you." Aigis said.
"This here is Koromaru, another persona-user."
"Woah its a dog!? I didn't know dogs can be persona-users." Ryuji said shocked at the scene.
"We do have a cat after all." Makoto said.
"Bark Bark." Koromaru said.
"He says, nice to meet all of you." Aigis translated Koromaru left Everybody stunned.
"Well its our turn now huh?"
"I'm Yosuke Hanamura, Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi and Tatsumi Kanji." Said Yosuke.
"I'm Rise Kujikawa and this is Naoto Shirogane."
"Wow! Even famous people are persona-users." Yusuke said.
"And my name is Teddie." Then a furry bear appeared. Suddenly a person came out of the bear.
"This is my other form."
"Teddie is an exception, his part shadow and the other part is unknown." Yosuke said.
"My name is Yu Narukami. The leader of the Investigation Squad."
"Ah, so that means Minato was the original leader for S.E.E.S." I said.
"Yes. That's right." Said Mitsuru, nodding sadly.
"Ahem." Makoto punching me on the shoulder.
"Well now." Ann started.
"My name is Ann Takamaki, and my code name is 'Panther'."
"Ryuji Sakamoto, or also known as 'Skull'.
"This is Yusuke Kitagawa, a student of Madarame, and known as 'Fox'." Ann said.
"I'm Futaba Sakura, I am known as the 'Medjed' or a support for the team called by 'Oracle'"
"Medjed!? You mean the hacker group?" Mitsuru asked. Shocked.
"Yes." Futaba said.
"He has quite powerful allies." Akihiko continued.
"My turn, I'm Morgana." The cat said.
"A monster cat!?" Shouted Kanji.
"Ahh!! No, I'm human. Human!" Morgana face palming himself.
"My name is Makoto Nijima or also known as 'Queen'."
"So you're Sae's younger sister." Said Naoto.
"Yes. How do you know my sister?"
"We worked with together before. It'll be a pleasure working with you." Naoto continued.
"The pleasure is all mine."
"I'm Haru Okumura or " Noir"."
"Hmm? It fits you I guess?" Said Yukari.
"And this is our leader of the Phantom Thieves of Heart , Ren Amamiya,  'Joker'!" Shouted Morgana.
"So you're the Phantom Thieves, its finally nice to meet you." Akihiko said shaking my hand.
"I just noticed why are you guys wearing your -." Makoto question was immediately answered.
"Our uniforms? Part of the occasion." Yukari said.
"Well, looks like you all have introduced  and put mutual trust into each other." Margaret said.
"Its our turn now." Elizabeth said giggling.
"I'm Elizabeth, assistant of Minato Arisato and is charge in keeping Erebus from reforming completely." She introduced herself while bowing.
"This is my brother,Theodore,  an assistant of the other wildcard." She continued.
"I'm Margaret and this is Marie, we both serve Yu Narukami." Bowing her head.
"Wait, aren't you Mariko Kusumi?" Makoto asked.
"Mariko,who?" Ryuji asked Makoto.
"Mariko Kusumi. Yes, I'm here actually that's my name when I work as an anchor woman or going outside of the Velvet Room." Marie answered.
"She does write a few poems too, their all have deep meaning too it." Yu said.
"Huh!? W-what was that!? I'm gonna punch you!" She then blushed hiding her face with her cap.
"She was the unknowingly one of the enemy, when we were in Inaba. But after all of that, we became friends, and she had a peaceful life." Yosuke said.
"Plus she's more than a hundred years old." Whispered Rise, but Marie could still hear it.
"Huh!?" She glared at her.
"Can we please continue?" Junpei said.
"I'm Caroline and This Justine, we helped the inmate, Ren Amamiya, through his rehabilitation." Caroline said.
"Rehabilitation?" Akihiko asked.
"Well, he is a delinquent. What did you not notice." Yusuke said.
"Nope not at all, except Ryuji though." Akihiko continued, insulting Ryuji in the process.
"Ah, hey!" Ryuji shouted.
"Ahem." Igor coughed.
"And I am Igor, servant of Philomen, the head master of the Velvet Room. Today, Philemon, master has sent me a important message,' Defeat Erebus for good and release Minato Arisato from his chains." Igor told us, eyes widening.
"What if we are not enough to destroy Erebus, and he reforms but we save Minato?" I asked.
"Then one of you must be sacrificed." We started to shiver,but then stopped.
"Alright." Yu said, regaining his confidence.
"If that is what it takes, we will not leave anyone behind." I said.
"We will defeat Erebus and save him!" Both us shouted in unison.
Igor snaps his finger and opened the gate.
"Here take this." Marie said handing him a katana.
"Thank you." He thanked her.
"You better make it out alive, you hear me. Alive. A-L-I-V-E." Marie said drawing out the syllables.
"I will." He said comforting her.
"You promise?"
"I promise." Marie then gave Yu a hug, before letting go.
"You ready?" I asked Yu.
"Always." He puts on his glasses and unsheathed his katana, showing a really sharp edge, putting over his shoulder.
When the gate finally fully opened, we could see shadows down on the ground, millions of them, with the chaotic being Erebus. We then looked at the Seal that was all the way to the other side.
"We're coming for you buddy." Junpei said holding his sword tightly.
My clothes transformed into my Phantom Thieves outfit, the others follow suit.
"Flashy aren't ya?" Yu said.
"Yeah." I replied.
"May fate be with you." Igor said.
Sweat dripping from our faces, legs shivering. I shouted.
"ITS SHOW TIME!"
