Forever Young (Phantom Thief)

Innovating means making changes! Going beyond what's established! It's time for a little innovation for the world of Umamusume, even beyond the track!

@TurfsHolySword @TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 Alright, alright, it's just this way through the crossing and down the sidewalk until the inner street! [She stepped a pace ahead of the group, to lead them to the hotel.]

@TrainerAmamiya @TracenInnovator @Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 🗡️: Of course. I learned so much about Persona’s today and, even then, I can tell there’s much I still don’t know. 🪄: Still, we are Phantom Thieves now! Maybe I can design a costume for you, hehe~ 🗡️: I doubt it. Still, I hope we can continue to work together!

@Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TurfsHolySword @TrainerAmamiya @TracenInnovator bwehhhg . . . what even happen... ughhhh my... everything hurts actually... hehe ♪ [still holding onto McQueen's hand]

@TrainerAmamiya @TurfsHolySword @Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 Hey, it's good working with you guys. Until we met each other a little bit ago, I've been gunning at this whole phantom thief thing alone.

@TurfsHolySword @TracenInnovator @Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 *Ren lifted Teio on her back. She awkwardly waved to the people standing around them* Heh, you're a reliable partner Dura. I really appreciate your help, yours too Yanko. I was honestly willing to go in all alone, but this was the best case scenario over all.

@TrainerAmamiya @TurfsHolySword @Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 Same thing happened when I awakened mine... but that was months ago. [She crouches down, closely examining them before taking out her phone and quickly searching.] You know I've got a good place! A few minutes walk down the street, close by, but not loud outside at all.

@TurfsHolySword @Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TracenInnovator 🎭: Dura, lift up McQueen, I'll get Teio. Yanko can you find a hotel near us? These two just need a good night's rest.

@Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 @TurfsHolySword Ow... [She pulled herself up from the ground she fell on.] Hey, they're all looking at us..!

@TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 @TurfsHolySword @TracenInnovator Ahem. This is quite an odd predicament, now isn't it..?

@TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TurfsHolySword [After this region of Mementos starts to crumble, she follows the group into the car.]

@Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TracenInnovator @TurfsHolySword 🐈‍⬛: This isn't normal... Even I can't answer that! 🎭: Mona! Turn into a car! We'll all stay in one place! 🐈‍⬛: Gotcha. *Mona quickly turns into a car. As Joker gets into the driver's seat.* 🎭: Get in! Hurry!

@TurfsHolySword @TrainerAmamiya @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @Teiohachimi165 You go, Teio! [Once the charge finishes, her persona launched another harsh ball of flame towards Afton in time with the bolt of light energy.]

@TurfsHolySword @Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya Wanna show him who's boss, then? [She spun her revolver in her hand again, before holstering it and taking out her knife once again.]

@Teiohachimi165 @TracenInnovator @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya 🗡️: Shut the hell up. [Sol glared at the cognitive Afton, the grip on her blades tightening] 🗡️: Whether you’re a shadow or not, you will die. I will not be happy until I hold your damn head in my hands. For all the pain you caused…all the deaths…that will be a mercy.

@TurfsHolySword @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 You got this one! [She sheathes her knife and quickly spins out her revolver to fire two shots at the animatronics.]

@Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 @TracenInnovator 🗡️: We’re all here to support you! [Sol launched blade beams towards Toy Freddy and Afton, standing by the rest of the team]

@TurfsHolySword @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 @aphelri BLAZING HELL! [A charged Blazing Hell is brought down on the cognitive assailants.]

@Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @TracenInnovator @Teiohachimi165 @aphelri Now that Teio’s back with us…THE SEKAI AND THIS TORMENT CAN FINALLY FALL! [Sol charged one of her blades, bringing it above her head as it crackled] EXCALIBUR! [She brings the blade down with immense force, a path of light crashing into both assailants]

@Teiohachimi165 @TurfsHolySword @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @aphelri You know, until a few weeks ago, I thought it was just me! [She draws her knife once again and charges forth alongside her persona, who charges up a final blast of fire.] Finish 'em off!

@TurfsHolySword @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @TracenInnovator @aphelri Icarus! Lend me your light! [Teio's bow begins to glow as a volley of arrows start to rain down on the two cognitive beings]

@TrainerAmamiya @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @Teiohachimi165 @TracenInnovator [Sol sees the arrow fly into Afton’s neck, quickly turning towards the figure and back to Afton] 🗡️: Teio?! Heh, we can’t stop our assault now! GIVE HIM HELL, MOREXIA! [Morexia launched a huge bolt of light energy at Afton, swirling around him]

@TurfsHolySword @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @Teiohachimi165 @TrainerAmamiya [Blazer has nothing about the matter to say, but she stays near the middle of the group, mentally preparing herself for a battle on the scale of what they faced before in Mementos...]

@TurfsHolySword @TrainerAmamiya @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @Teiohachimi165 STOP HIM, MONTAG!! [Her persona moves to intercept Afton, as well, charging up another blast of fire.]

@TrainerAmamiya @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @Teiohachimi165 @TracenInnovator [Sol watched as Toy Freddy fell to the ground and Afton approaching McQueen to strike, running over to Afton with her her blades drawn] 🗡️: GET AWAY FROM MCQUEEN, YOU MONSTER!

@Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TurfsHolySword @TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 You're really gonna feel the impact! [She raises her hand, as her persona manifests. A huge ball of fire crashes down on the cognitive Afton, sending deafening shockwaves through Mementos.]

@TurfsHolySword @TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 @TracenInnovator Nicely done! *McQueen uses a big gust of wind to sweep Afton off his feet*

@TrainerAmamiya @TurfsHolySword @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @Teiohachimi165 [Just like Joker, she had been hit with a sleepiness effect, but had just managed to keep herself steady.] Don't worry about me! I got it!

@TurfsHolySword @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @Teiohachimi165 @TracenInnovator *Joker blinked her eyes open and got up from the ground, dusting herself off.* 🎭: Thanks Sol. [That's right, Crow, it takes a SECOND to say thanks... Damnit...]

@TrainerAmamiya @TurfsHolySword @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @Teiohachimi165 Get 'em fast, then! [As she raised her hand, her persona casted Masukukaja, a green glow bursting from each party member.]

@TurfsHolySword @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @Teiohachimi165 @TracenInnovator *Joker looked at McQueen with a happy shock as she defended her. She switched to Arahabaki and already focused her mind.* 🎭: I'll never forgive you for hurting all those people... You're nothing but a coward, hiding behind your "creations!"

@Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @Teiohachimi165 @TrainerAmamiya @TracenInnovator [Sol sees Toy Freddy standing in front of her as she got off the elevator, looking at the creature with sorrow. However, it changed when Sol saw the figure behind the robot, raising her sword to the figure] Show yourself…William Afton. You won’t get away from justice again!

@Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @TracenInnovator @TurfsHolySword [The Shadow nods gripping the side of her arm slightly]

@Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @TurfsHolySword @Teiohachimi165 We beat that thing before, so we'll just do it again, right? We've got more people this time!

@TrainerAmamiya @TurfsHolySword @Teiohachimi165 @TracenInnovator Teio is strong willed... I- I'm sure she is holding on..!

@Teiohachimi165 @TrainerAmamiya @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TurfsHolySword [Blazer silently climbed in through the open door to the car. Maybe a comment or quip wouldn't be wise right now.]

@TrainerAmamiya @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TurfsHolySword @TracenInnovator [Shadow Teio also hears this, her ears twitch, and with her eyes still narrow, she blushes a little but focuses and hops in the Mona car] He's nearby, I can feel it. . .

@Teiohachimi165 @TrainerAmamiya @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TurfsHolySword [Blazer stood aside. She wasn't here for whatever events caused these cognitions, and thus did not want to step in to say something until she got a better picture.]

@TrainerAmamiya @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TurfsHolySword @TracenInnovator [The group is left with silence from the cognitive beings. It almost feels too quiet] [Meanwhile, Shadow Teio starts to panic] (I have to go to my real self...) We have to go fast... I think the real Teio is relapsing in her thinking...

@TurfsHolySword @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 We got another hold up? [Her free hand whips out her revolver with a spin.]

@Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TrainerAmamiya @Teiohachimi165 @TracenInnovator 🗡️: Understood! [Sol pointed her blade towards the begging shadows, glaring down at them]

@TrainerAmamiya @TurfsHolySword @Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 Hah, you wanna go all out? [Blazer pushed up her glasses as her persona manifested once again.] Montag! Blazing Hell! [The sounds of gears click and grind as Montag moves to burn all of the shadows in their way.]

@TurfsHolySword @Teiohachimi165 @Mejiro_Mkirbo57 @TracenInnovator 🎭: Hmph, showing off much Sol? Raoul! Maeigaon! *Joker held her mask as Raoul, tipped his hat, before firing blasts of darkness at the all shadows.*
