Cops are downstairs! How did they get here? The sound of screams countered the noises of the casino games. Oh well, gotta do it. I jump from chandelier to chandelier as they look above me. With a smirk, I step into the light as they stare at me. "Someone's up there!" one of the voices come from below as one cop takes his walkie talkie. "Target in sight! We'll get her immediately!" they run towards the stairs and with a bigger smirk, I go back into the darkness. I look to the side and see a vent. Going to it, I pry it open, place the suitcase inside and closed it. I go back onto the chandelier after closing the vent again and slipping on of my gloves through the vent.

"Good now get running!"

"This is our only chance!"

"Stay calm! You can get away now!"

"We'll retrieve the briefcase on our end."

"...suspects...not...confirmed...hold...your...positions..."

"Hm...? What was that...?"

"Don't worry about us. Just concentrate on getting away!"

You got it. I begin to parkour my way to the back entrance on the lights.

"But I have to say, showing yourself above that crowd earlier was an excellent move. Nice work as always, Joker."

"I bet Skull wouldn't pull it off that smoothly."

I giggle at that last comment as I jumped on a platform that is curved and next to one made of hexagons. "There she is!" Oh shit, the feds found out my route. "Just run! Get out of there!" "Got it Oracle!" I jump on the hexagon platform until I reached a place where you can overview the casino.

"OK, the enemy's focus on her. Looks like the rest of us can slip away."

I run towards the stairs, that connect to overview with the casino until I saw security officers that transformed with beings with iron masks. Shadows. "Oracle, I need help!" I shouted as one jumped behind me.

"Take 'em down Joker!"

With a smirk, I jump into the air and flip onto the guy behind me and ripped his mask off. Blood splattered as I jumped away. It waddled a bit as it transformed into a thing with a bull's head and a tail.

"Comparing power levels... No threat. Get 'em Joker!"

This will be a breeze. "Persona!" Brave Blade. "Ravish them!" Yes! It was a critical hit, it's down! Hm, better save my SP and health just in case. I take out my gun and started shooting him until it disappeared.

"Good. You defeated it with ease."

"More of them?! Be careful!"

Just then three other shadows appeared. One came in for the attack but I swiftly dodged it. With a back-flip, I jumped onto a platform. Knowing another platform is there, I jump on there. "Joker, behind you! Go through that door!" You got it Oracle. With a mini spin, I rush towards the door, locking it in the process. Don't want them to follow me. It was the stairs leading up. I have to get out of here.

"You should be able to get out that way! Hurry!"

"Dude, can she even hear us!?"

"Don't worry, I'm picking up everyone's voices. Just go, Joker!"

I run through many doors as I saw an officer running pass a glass window. He didn't see me since I ducked under the window.

"Where'd they go!? Damn it! I can't confirm the intruder's location."

That dumbass. I was right here and he was talking about me and my squad. Talk about a bad cop. I stand up but see another officer over this file cabinet. "You'll never get away if you just keep fighting. Hide in the shadows, and sneak past when you see an opening!" Sure can do. Thank god Mona taught me how to do this. There are two more file cabinets in front so I jump behind and to the other. "...Hey, are you sure she came in this way?" The guy in a suit ask and he nods. "Understood. I will continue the search!" He runs past me. "Now's your chance! Run for the stairs!" Oracle yells in my ear as I rush up the stairs.

"Feed me directions Oracle!" I call out and she starts giving me directions. I pass this security station place and I heard the dude say, "She's not alone. Find them and kill them all!". That just pisses me off. "Guards are on your tail Joker!" her panic voice made me smirk. I'll get out of here no problem. Running up more stairs was tiring but I hope the guards love the extra exercise. Going straight from a flight of stairs, there was a door in the hallway on my right.

She told me to go right and I run there. Busting down the door, I take a breather. There are no other doors and it leads to another overview of the casino, barricaded with a pretty fence. "Something wrong? The exit is up ahead." I look up and see a pretty window that I've seen at the front of the casino. "That's just how it is. After that commotion, the bottom floor is completely closed off. Hey, can you make it?" She asks and I smirked in reply. "Over there!"

Really? I hate these guards. I turn around and see three of them pointing guns at me. With a peace sign, I jump on the pretty fence and run across it, towards the window. They split up with one across from me, one going left, and one going right. I just giggle. "Peace out bitches!" I smirk and jump through the window. As I was in the air, glass shards were around me.

"Heh, what a show-off. You're so reckless, you know that?"

Of course, I do! And with that, I land on the ground feet first as the glass shards fell near my feet. I sigh in relief but it wasn't going to end this way. Lights shined in my direction and I saw a bunch of cops. Oh shit.

"Enemies here?"

"What's wrong?"

"These readings... it can't be!"

"What happened!? JOKER!"

"An ambush...?"

"Joker, can you handle this?"
"JOKER!"

"Oh, no...!"

"CAPTURE HER!"

I begin running away from them. This is fucking nuts. Help me! Wait, a ladder! I jump for it as I start climbing. I make it to the top but there were more of them. "Oh shit." Were my last words before they hit my head with the handle of a shotgun. I fall to the concrete ground as the cops surrounded me and pinned me to the ground. "Suspect secured!" "Didn't expect to find some kid. You have your teammate to thank for this. You were sold out." No...

"Suspect confirmed, cuff her!" They begin to cuff me and I don't remember what happened after that.

"Guess the drug was too strong."

"Wake her up."

Water was splashed on me. I wake up to see that I'm cuffed to a chair in a room with two people.

"No dozing off."

What the actual fuck man? I have to get out of here. I begin to struggle but the cuffs won't come off.

"You still don't get it, do you?"

"Give it up!"

He kicks me, making me go down along with the chair. "Nngh..." I cough.

"Come on, cooperate. Or what, you want another shot?"

His foot was on my face, pushing it to the ground. Out of instinct, I looked for something. My eyes landed on a camera and I guess He realized what I was doing since he also looked at the camera.

"Huh? What about the camera?"

What do you think asshole?

"Are you thinking it can be used as video evidence?"

No shit it won't. I'm just shocked that it was in this room. What the fuck am I going to do when you lot drugged me? I stay quiet.

"Didn't you hear my question? Answer!"

He lifted my head with my hair and threw it back on the ground. I would answer if it wasn't for you beating my ass. This bitch starts kicking my stomach, making me turn over, back on the ground. Out of nowhere, he grips onto my right boob. "Nngh!" I yelped and he gripped harder.

"To think a pretty young face would be the leader."

Motherfucker. He lets go and walks to his friend who gives him a clipboard.

"Obstruction of justice, blackmail, defamation, possession of weapons... Manslaughter too, yeah? Talk about the works. To think that all those crimes were led by a punk like this... And you seemed to be enjoying every second of it... huh?"

Fuck this guy. Wait, I was... enjoying it...? Everything is hazy... I can't remember...

"You should know your place."

And you should know yours. He signals his friend over to me. This guy literally lifts me up, uncuffs me, and throws me into a corner. This time, I got a good look at my legs. They were bruised to hell and back. Guess my face is like that too.

"Sign here. It's a confession under your name."

I swat it away. Fuck that bullshit, I ain't signing jack shit.

"I see... I need your hand to sign this but..."

His giant foot stomps on my leg, applying intense pressure on it. "Urgh!" I grunt in pain.

"I don't care if you end up losing a leg."

He gets off it as I take another look. Another bruise. Thanks, asshole. Reluctantly, I take the clipboard and he hands me a pen. I reach out for it but he holds on.

"Don't expect to walk out of here in one piece. We're going to make you understand... One must pay full responsibility for your actions..."

The guy lets go and I look over the paper on the clipboard. It reads,

'I, _ _, confess to doing the crimes above. As the leader of the Phantom Thieves, this is what I confess.'

I guess this black spot is where I sign? OK...

'I, _Akano_ _Kurusu_, confess to doing the crimes above. As the leader of the Phantom Thieves, this is what I confess.'

And with that, I just signed a confession that I am the leader of the Phantom Thieves. Now, I just have to await death or lifelong imprisonment. I have no say in this matter.

~Timeskip~

A lady walks in. I think I remember her... Sae Niijima, right? "...I didn't expect it'd be you." Her voice was calming, I think I can trust her. "You'll be answering my questions this time, OK Akano?" Sae's eyes darts to one of the syringes on the ground. "Those bastards... Can you hear me? It seems you've been through a lot." She tries to gain my attention and I try to give it to her. "Almost anything can happen in here... and I can't stop them." Sae pauses to allow me time to focus. "That's why I need you to answer me honestly. I don't have much time either."

Finally, I'm able to focus on Sae. "What was your objective? Why did you cause such a major incident? I didn't think it was a plan from the get-go, but I couldn't assemble a case for prosecution. It was because I couldn't figure out the motive behind it." I think I should talk now. "Heh, of course, you couldn't..." "Why did you giggle?" "Because it should be obvious that you couldn't. I haven't laughed in a while, feels nice." I explain as she gives me a pitiful look.

"True. There's no way I could be convinced of such a... 'world' just by reading the reports. It seems you're coherent. When and where did you find out about that world? How is it possible to steal another's heart? Now, tell me your account of everything... start from the very beginning." I don't know why but, I have a feeling I should tell her. Just then I'm in a black room with the angelic song in the background. A blue butterfly flies around too.

"...You are held captive. A prisoner of fate to a future sealed in advance. This is truly an unjust game... your chances of winning are almost none. But if my voice is reaching you, there may yet be a possibility open to you... I beg you. Please overcome this game... and save the world... the key to victory lies in the memories of your bonds - the truth that you and your friends grasped. It all began that day... when the game started half a year ago... for the sake of your world's future... as well as your own... you must remember..." Just then everything went white.
