[Inside, the party hides
behind bushes and watches the Nazis kill Masquerade members. After a short
while, a robot comes out, and the Nazis salute it.]
MAYA: So that's Caracol.
It certainly does look like pictures of Mayan ruins I've seen... though
I was told that it was an observatory.
YUKINO: When I came here
before, that wasn't there. Shunsuke-san can't possibly be inside!
EIKICHI: Those robot things
are like the ones we saw before, right?
[The scene switches to the
robots talking to each other.]
LONGINUS 13: Wait, Elf.
(Eleven) There's a response on the surveillance microphones.
(Knights
of the Holy Lance (Longinus 13): Spurring on the "Marionette-Jäger
'Himmels-Feuer,'" (Marionette Hunters: Heaven’s Fire) it is composed
of 13 knights and is the Last Battalion's Anti-Persona division.)
LONGINUS 12: I've got a
response on my Persona Sensor.
LONGINUS 11: Hmph, rats,
huh? Good timing. I'm getting real sick of these small fry.
LONGINUS 11: Let's see the
power of the Persona users in this country. Follow me! Zwölf! Dreizehn!
(Twelve, Thirteen)
LISA: Aiya! We've
been discovered!
MAYA: Everyone, split up!
[Shots are fired. The party
is surrounded.]
LONGINUS 11: It doesn't
matter what tricks you've got up your sleeves, girls, once you've been
discovered by the Knights of the Holy Lance, your luck has run out!
YUKINO: We're surrounded!
Pair off and take them one at a time...I'll take care of the leftovers!
EIKICHI: To make a lady
push herself too hard would be shirking my duties as a man! Leave this
easy win to me, Michel!
| - I'll do it by myself |
- Pair up with Maya |
| - Pair up with Lisa |
- Pair up with Eikichi |
| - Pair up with Yukino |
|
[Plotwise, it doesn't matter
who you pick; I'd take someone who you have good fusions with. Or if you're
worried about HP, pick someone with a healing spell. You only have to fight
once; I translated the dialogues for all of the choices, so you'll only
get the dialogue for the one you pick.]
TATSUYA ALONE:
LONGINUS 13: Oh-ho-ho! So
you think you're gonna fight me by yourself, kid? Courage alone won't save
your ass!
TATSUYA: ...
LONGINUS 13: Are you mocking
me, kid? This replica of the Holy Spear can seal the powers of Persona
users! It might be a copy, but it's definitely not just for show!
PAIR UP WITH LISA:
LONGINUS 12: I won't take
mercy on you because you're a girl. That's a rule of battle!
LISA: Be careful, Ching-yan!
There's something strange about that spear!
PAIR UP WITH YUKINO:
YUKINO: Damn... Shunsuke-san...
where are you?
LONGINUS 12: You're freaking
out like a lost little virgin! Acting like a woman on the battlefield is
pathetic!
YUKINO: You're a woman too,
aren't you?
PAIR UP WITH MAYA:
LONGINUS 11: Woman! You
can't really think that two on one is gonna be enough?
MAYA: Be careful! I've got
a bad feeling about that spear...
PAIR UP WITH EIKICHI:
LONGINUS 11: So I'm up against
two baby monkeys, huh... how boring.
EIKICHI: You dare call the
beautiful Michel a monkey? I'll turn you into spare parts!
LONGINUS 11: You're a feisty
little monkey... I'll show you the Persona-sealing power of the Holy Spear!
[The fight is easy. Just
watch your HP and use fusions when you can.]
[After Battle]
FUJII'S VOICE: Y-you look
s, so terrified... it takes away from your beauty... you know?
YUKINO: Shu...Shunsuke-san?
[The scene fades out on
Fujii and reopens with Yukino kneeling, Fujii's head on her knees.]
FUJII: I.... made a little
mistake... I got the battle... captured perfectly... on camera...
YUKINO: Why... why did this...
[Fujii wipes away Yukino's
tear.]
FUJII: Our job... is to
bring the... beautiful and dirty things... to the people... without covering...
or hiding anything... that's right... isn't it... Makki?
FUJII: That's... why...
because it's... our... pride...
FUJII: Did you receive...
the camera... from the Chief Priest?
YUKINO: Yes...look...I have
it....
FUJII: I see... [cough][hack]
FUJII: I've come here...
so many times... taking pictures... wondering if I couldn't capture those
stars... Yuk...ki... capture the... stars....
[He dies.]
MAYA: Yukki... we don't
have... much time...
YUKINO: Nooooooooooooooooooooo!
I'm staying here! I... I can't fight anymore...I don't want to fight!
| - Are you going to...
render his wishes meaningless? |
Make Yukino go with you.
(This is the better overall choice, but scripts are provided for both.) |
| - We'll go on ahead...
the four of us. |
Leave Yukino with Fujii. |
LISA: That's...Ching-yan...
that's way harsh...
MAYA: It's just as Tatsuya-kun
said. Fujii-san... He really wanted Yukki to capture her dream...
MAYA: At this rate, the
world will be destroyed by rumors... and if that happens, neither Fujii-san's
nor Yukki's dream will come true...
[Yukino stands and walks
forward.]
YUKINO: Let's go... I still
have something I need to do... I promised to save Anna and I haven't done
that yet.
[A familiar golden butterfly
appears.]
PHILEMON: Strong feelings,
gentle feelings, from one person to another... that camera is the heart
of the person that you love.
PHILEMON: As a new Persona,
he will live on within you.
[A new Persona rises above
Yukino.]
DURGA: I am Durga... my
mission is to tear the demons of this world to shreds, so... I understand
your fate.
YUKINO: I see... thank you,
Philemon. Okay, let's go.
[Talk to party members]
YUKINO: Shunsuke-san...
it was okay... that I loved you... right?
YUKINO: It might be cold
here... but just wait a little while, okay? I'll be back to get you soon.
LISA: Hoh lin...
Yukino-san... I feel so bad for her...
LISA: I know that Fujii-san
wasn't a bad person, but... this is...!! It's so horrible for the person
left behind!
MAYA: Living a dream...
dying a dream... you can't stop it... I know it can't be stopped...but...
MAYA: Yukki... I feel so
bad for you... these thoughts... Daddy...
EIKICHI: Look, Tacchan...
his face... there's so much pride in it... someday, I want to become a
man that can have that much pride, too.
FUJII'S BODY: The face of
a man who died with his dreams fulfilled is one of peace and a sense of
pride.
[ROOM OF STELLA (B2)]
Complete the battle in this
room--it's an easy fight against Nazis.
[Talk to party members afterward]
MAYA: Yukki... I'm sorry...
I can't do anything for you...
MAYA: I'm powerless... Daddy...
LISA: Yukino-san is... such
a strong person...
LISA: Tatsuya, if you died...
I might really lose my mind...
EIKICHI: H, hey! Why are
you slouched over?
EIKICHI: U, no...well...after
Caracol we should go visit Mr. Tomi or something! J, just kidding...!
EIKICHI: Sorry... I won't
try to say stuff like that anymore.
YUKINO: ...Let's go, Suou.
There's still something I have to take care of...
[Enter 4th Floor]
YUKINO: Anna...it's Anna!
Wait for me, I'm coming!
[Heal and save. You won't
fight Shadow Yukino or Lady Scorpio, but there is still a considerable
boss fight ahead with three Longinus robots. You'll also temporarily lose
Yukino after this battle, so if you need to level Durga up more before she rejoins your party for the last boss fight of this dungeon, do it
before you enter the bridge area.]
[IN THE BRIDGE AREA]
[Anna is surrounded by Longinus
robots. She tries to fight them, but has no success.]
LONGINUS 8: You're already
finished? Pathetic. You, who dream of destroying this world--is that all
you've got?
ANNA: Damn! Why are you--
LONGINUS 9: We've predicted
everything! Ha ha ha...do you still wish for life, even now? Even smashed
underfoot like an insect you can't forget the dream you once had.
LONGINUS 10: Regrettable...we
have no use for a broken marionette. Auf Wiedersehen (Goodbye) ...Return
to the abyss of Unconsciousness.
YUKINO: Wait!
EIKICHI: We’re really on
edge right now, so don't say anything about giving up! Bring it on!
LONGINUS 9: Ha ha ha! Why
has the little insect shut up? Bugs should act like bugs--they should always
be crying! [1]
[Enter Battle]
LONGINUS 8: Capturing the
stars is quite ridiculous! It's logical for bugs that crawl on the earth
to return to it!
LISA: These jerks! What
do they know about Fujii-san?
YUKINO: You... don't you
dare
laugh at him!
[The fight with the robots,
even at high levels, can be hard. Use good fusions when possible and strong
magic to hit all the robots at once when you can't. Physical attacks do
virtually nothing, and watch out for party members being frozen or having
Persona sealed. If your character gets stabbed by one of the robots' spears,
they will be temporarily unable to use their Persona. This fight is worth
almost 20,000 EXP, so it's in your best interest for everyone to be alive
at the end, though you can let Yuki die if you like.]
[After Battle]
ANNA: You really are nosy...
why do you care?
YUKINO: You remind me of
my old self. Without knowing what you want to do, or why you're alive,
you think it's okay to give up everything.
YUKINO: I was immature.
You don't have to be in such a hurry to discover who you are. It's okay
to take it slow.
ANNA: ...
SHADOW YUKINO'S VOICE: Oh,
I'm gonna puke... you're the one who's worrying the most about whether
or not you’ve failed at the path that you chose.
SHADOW YUKINO: You had two
dreams, didn't you? The first was the one you're currently trying to succeed
at--a photographer; the other was to become a teacher, like Saeko-sensei,
whom you admired.
SHADOW YUKINO: But you're
not smart enough to become a teacher, and not talented enough to be a photographer.
You're trapped in the space between your goals and the limits of your ability,
aren't you?
SHADOW YUKINO: Just like
in the past, you think it's easier if you take your temper out on the people
around you... that it's easier if you could be held by a man... tell those
things to that girl.
EIKICHI: You...even though
you're a damn fake...
YUKINO: It's just as you
said. Inside, I was so lost...that's why I leaned on Shunsuke-san.
YUKINO: But, Anna...even
when you trip and fall, when you're lost...you just have to stand on your
own two feet and keep going.
YUKINO: Shunsuke-san...everyone...they
taught that to me, and now I can accept myself for who I am. If you can't
do that, you can't do anything.
SHADOW YUKINO: You make
me sick. There only needs to be one of me!
YUKINO: Suou, hurry up and
get moving! You've got something that you need to do too, right? Go and
open Kurosu's eyes!
MAYA: Yukki...let's go,
everyone!
[The rest of the party runs
off, leaving Yukino, Shadow Yukino, and Anna behind.]
ANNA: You...you really are
so open it's almost stupid...still, it feels good...
[Maya stands by the door,
watching for another moment, before heading inside.]
YUKINO AND SHADOW YUKINO:
Let's go!
[1] In the
Japanese language, bugs and birds don't chirp, they cry. It's a different
kanji than to cry as in "to weep" but the word sounds the same. It's a
common play on words to interchange them, especially in poetry and such.
MAYA: That's right...Yukki...wait
for us; we'll be back to pick you up.
MAYA: Let's go, everyone.
Talk to party members, if
you want:
YUKINO: Why...why...? Even
though I hadn't... told him that I liked him... or that I loved him...!!
LISA: Hoh lin...Yukino-san...
I feel so bad for her...
LISA: I know that Fujii-san
wasn't a bad person, but...this is...it's so horrible for the person left
behind!
MAYA: Living a dream, dying
a dream... you can't stop it. I know it can't be stopped, but...
MAYA: Yukki...I feel so
bad for you... these thoughts...Daddy...
EIKICHI: Look, Tacchan...
his face... there's so much pride in it. Someday, I want to become a man...
that can have that much pride, too.
Head into Caracol.
[ROOM OF STELLA (B2)]
Complete the battle in this
room--it's an easy fight against Nazis.
[Talk to party members afterward]
MAYA: Yukki... I'm sorry...
I can't do anything for you...
MAYA: I'm powerless...Daddy...
LISA: Hoh lin...Yukino-san...I
feel so sad for her...Tatsuya! Are you sure she'll be okay?
LISA: I'm sorry... it's
hard for you too...
EIKICHI: Hey! Why are you
slouched over?
EIKICHI: Uh, no... well...
after Caracol, we should visit Mr. Tomi or something! Just kidding!
EIKICHI: Sorry. I won't
say stuff like that anymore.
[Enter 4th floor]
MAYA: What? Yukki... no
way, she's here! My Persona can sense her.
[Head over to the bridge.
If you chose this route, you're going to have to fight Shadow Yukino and
Lady Scorpio, so make sure you're healed and you've saved. When you're
ready, enter the bridge doors.]
When you get out onto the
bridge, there are golden sparkles floating upwards. Longinus robots are
nearby, but they are quickly being destroyed. Standing on the bridge are
Lady Scorpio and Shadow Yukino.
SHADOW YUKINO: Look, Anna...
Some more toys have come.
ANNA: To...ys...?
[Anna holds Shadow Yukino
and cries on her shoulder. Shadow Yukino pats her on the head comfortingly.]
SHADOW YUKINO: It sucks
to have your dream destroyed, doesn't it? It hurts to not know why you're
living, doesn't it? Then, it's okay to destroy it all.
LISA: Keh he! Don't
say that with Yukino-san's face! Yukino-san is--
SHADOW YUKINO: You're so
stupid. I'm the real Yukino. All you get from chasing stars you can't catch
is pain.
SHADOW YUKINO: I'm not gonna
live a life like Fujii's. I'm going to live happily and be just as selfish
as I can!
MAYA: What did you just
say? Take that back! There's no way in hell you're Yukki!
MAYA: Anna-san! Come over
here! The real Yukki is waiting outside!
ANNA: Yuki...no...?
[Anna continues to cling
to Shadow Yukino.]
SHADOW YUKINO: A-ha-ha!
She's my cute little doll! If you think you can take her from me, come
on and try!
[Enter Battle]
LADY SCORPIO: Yukino...is
it okay if I break these toys?
SHADOW YUKINO: Yes, it's
okay to break the toys. Easy, isn't it?
MAYA: I won't forgive anyone
who tries to make a fool of Yukki!
[Lady Scorpio is Level 42,
weak fire. Shadow Yukino is Level 43, weak water. The fight is not super-difficult-Shadow
Yukino does most of the attacking using Reverse Durga and Lady Scorpio
casts status effects with Reverse Aeshma. Watch out for Shadow Yukino after
her HP gets low-she'll start using a spell that hits everyone for approximately
170 HP. You get almost 20,000 points of experience for the pair, so try
to keep everyone alive.]
[After Battle]
SHADOW YUKINO: Argh...you
really are a bunch of idiots...I told you I was Yukino, didn't I?
SHADOW YUKINO: I'm gonna
take this girl's Self back with me to the abyss of the Collective Unconsciousness!
It's a curse on your stupidity!
MAYA: Wait!
[Shadow Yukino holds Anna
and leaps off the bridge.]
EIKICHI: That couldn't have
really been Yukino...
MAYA: That can't be...
MAYA: I have a bad feeling
about this, but... let's go on ahead...
[Talk to party members]
LISA: But...we couldn't
save Anna Yoshizaka...Yukino-san is going to be sad again...
MAYA: Yukki... it can't
be... but... there's no way the real Yukki would have said that...
EIKICHI: T-that's right...Yukino
is outside... That's a fake, like Maya-nee before...
[The rest of the script is
not all that different from here on out; proceed out of the bridge area
and start heading towards Joker. Unlike those who chose to make Yukino
go along with them, if you left Yukino behind, she will not show up to
help you fight the Joker and she will say nothing after Caracol. If you
made this choice, just omit Yukino's dialogue from the translation of the
second half of Caracol.]
[After you finish up on the
bridge, head out and down the stairs to continue with Caracol.]
[ROOM OF STELLA (B5-1)]
[The party enters the room.
The image of Jun as a child appears and fades to white. A flashback scene
opens up at Araya Shrine from 10 years ago.]
EIKICHI: Tacchan! You're
the boss today, right? She can't! Tell her that she can't leave us!
TATSUYA: ...
EIKICHI: Jun! You say something
too! Is it okay for Big Sis to be separated from us?
JUN: ...
LISA: I won't let you go...
I won’t let you go!
LISA: If we lock her up
in the shrine until tomorrow, Big Sis won't go anywhere!
[The kids push Maya into
the shrine and lock the door.]
JUN: This is wrong, you
guys! Let's... let Big Sis go!
EIKICHI: Let’s kill Big
Sis... okay?
MAYA: Let me out! Please!
Help me, Jun-kun!!
LISA: We'll kill Big Sis,
so she won't go anywhere.
[Tatsuya summons Vulcanus,
and lights the shrine on fire.]
JUN: [screams] Big Sis!
[The scene returns to Caracol.
Little Jun is standing there.]
JUN: Big Sis... I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry, I... I couldn't protect you.
LISA: That's wrong! That's
not how it was! Jun...what we just saw was completely different from what
really happened!
EIKICHI: Yeah... Tacchan
was trying to save Maya-nee...we were the ones who were bad--remember?
MAYA: Jun-kun, look! I'm
alive! Please, open your eyes!
JUN: That's a lie! There's
no way that you're Big Sis! Tatsuya killed her!
[Jun fades away, leaving
a flower behind. Maya picks it up.]
MAYA: Raspberry -- "deep
regret"... Jun also has realized the truth.
MAYA: Even so, something
is interfering with his ability to remember clearly. No, someone is...
I'm sure... that whoever is changing rumors into reality is...
[Talk to party members]
LISA: "Deep regret" ...
Jun hasn't changed... the real Jun is still here!
LISA: Jun was so kind! He
taught me about things like flower language and the stars! Please, Tatsuya,
save Jun!
EIKICHI: It was Jun who
turned Ken and all those other people into Shadow People, but he's also
one of my good friends...
EIKICHI: To me--no, to Ginko
and Maya-nee too--the memories of that summer are really special.
EIKICHI: That's why I won't
let anyone tarnish them. I can't let that happen!
MAYA: Save Jun-kun from
the hand of the Crawling Chaos; that's what Philemon said.
MAYA: What could it be?
I'm sure it's what's making rumors real, and Jun-kun...
[ROOM OF STELLA (B5-2)]
[Again, the image of Jun
as a child appears as you enter the room, and fades to white. A flashback
opens on Maya, Jun and Tatsuya as children by a swing set.]
MAYA: This is the park in
the place where I lived ten years ago.
CHILD MAYA: You guys really
remembered where my house is! When I opened the window, I thought I saw
twins, and I was really surprised.
JUN: That's because it was
dark, but that's not so strange.
CHILD MAYA: Hey...do you
guys know "Doppelgänger"?
CHILD MAYA:
The night is still, the
streets are quiet.
In this house lived my
Love...
She has left this city
long ago,
yet her house is still
standing here.
There I also see a man,
standing and staring into the heavens...
Wringing his hands in
violent grief. I shudder when I behold his face...
The moon reveals to me
my own likeness.
You Doppelgänger,
you pale companion!
Why do you mimic my anguish
that tormented me at this place for so many nights in the past?
CHILD MAYA: Jun-kun and Tatsuya-kun...
you have different personalities, but that might be why you're drawn to
each other, and you stick together like a person and his shadow...
[Child Maya and Child Tatsuya
disappear.]
JUN: You guys took away
my Big Sis, who taught me to follow my dreams...
JUN: The Big Sis that I
loved... my "Mama," who Tatsuya and I promised to always protect... you
broke that promise and killed her!
[Child Jun disappears, crying.
The party is returned to Caracol.]
MAYA: This is intended for
you, Tatsuya-kun... a Michaelmas daisy ..."I won't forget you"...
MAYA: I'm absolutely certain
that Jun-kun wants to be saved by you, Tatsuya-kun, more than anyone else...because
you two had such a strong relationship.
[Talk to party members, if
you like]
LISA: Yeah... that happened
too... even though everyone loved Big Sis... Maya-chan...
EIKICHI: Jun... why? Why
did this happen...?
MAYA: Jun-kun is suffering
from false memories... in the depths of his heart, he is crying out to
be saved... wait for us... surely, we will...
[Outside, on B6]
MAYA: It's Jun-kun... but
there's another... person with the same... Persona?
MAYA: No...it's very dark...
it feels like I'm being gazed at from the depths of an abyss. No, Jun!
Don't give yourself over to that power...
[ROOM OF THE WHEEL OF
TIME]
[The party enters. Tatsuya
jumps forward, sword drawn.]
EIKICHI, TATSUYA, LISA:
Jun!!
MAYA: Jun-kun! Please, stop
this madness!
[The scene pans over the
room; the remaining seven Longinus Robots are standing in the center. The
Joker stands in front of the moving Wheel of Time, accompanied by what
looks to be Tatsuya, Eikichi, and the final member of the Masquerade Executives.]
JOKER: It looks like all
the actors are in position. All three parties have the right to raise Xibalba
and obtain their greatest desires.
HITLER: Exactly. My Knights
of the Holy Spear symbolizing the Twelve Houses also have those qualifications.
KNIGHTS OF THE HOLY SPEAR:
Heil
Hitler! Sieg Reich! (Hail Hitler! Victory to the Reich!) One land,
one people, one leader!
HITLER: The only one who
can gain control of the Five Skulls was born under the sacred alignment
of the Grand Cross.
JOKER: Hm... what does a
spirit brought back to life by the power of rumors wish for now?
HITLER: The same thing that
the Wheel Of Fortune's marionette wants.
HITLER: Destruction and
progress...these wishes are always at war in humans.
HITLER: I will actualize
the fears and hopes of the entire world. I'm qualified, so I really don't
have to answer to you, do I?
JOKER: Well... however,
that is my role. Perhaps you should wish for that old body of yours
to be sent back home... along with those pieces of junk over there.
[Five of the robots fly
towards the Joker; the remaining two confront the party.]
MAYA: That's wrong, Jun-kun!
Dreams aren't something that can be given!
MAYA: They have value because
you achieve them with your own strength! If people attain progress just
by wishing for it, that's--
JOKER: You stupid woman.
Do you think all humans live the same way as you, in a bubble of constant
optimism?
HITLER: That's right. Since
the illusion known as freedom prevails, people waste their time worrying
about foolish things.
HITLER: People are always
wishing for a leader that will decide everything for them because it's
torture to make their decisions!
JOKER: That's exactly why
I should lead humanity in its ascent! People will be freed from the curse
of searching for their raison d'être!
JOKER: Take a look! Wings
of Death and Rebirth, raise Xibalba!
MAYA: You're wrong! You're
wrong, wrong, wrong...!! Then, why were we born...?
[FMV of Xibalba raising from
the ground, the four Shrines coming up from the ground, and Sumaru taking
flight above the earth.]
LISA: No way...
HITLER: Excellent! This
will be my new dictator state... it is suitably dignified for my Führer-Städte!
JOKER: Heh heh heh...a-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Look, my father was right!
QUEEN AQUARIUS: It can't
be...it was true!
(Queen
Aquarius: The keeper of the Skull of Wind and the last of the four Masquerade
Executives. She focuses on increasing the number of adult members in the
Masquerade, as well as collecting Ideal Energy.)
[The Joker falls to his
knees and clutches his head.]
JOKER: Huh...?! No... what
I... wanted to do... wasn't... this... horrible... thing...!
MAYA: Jun-kun!
HITLER: Now! Steal the Skulls!
QUEEN AQUARIUS: Jun, watch
out!
[Queen Aquarius shoves the
Joker out of the way and is stabbed by the leader of the Longinus robots;
it steals one of the Skulls and flies away. The Joker summons his Persona,
but to no avail.]
HITLER: Mwhahahahahaha!
Since this thing has been raised, my business is finished here!
HITLER: Eventually, this
place will also crumble! If you don't hurry and climb aboard that thing,
you'll be trapped in the destruction of the world!
[Hitler and the robots fly
away. Shadow Lisa, Shadow Eikichi, and Shadow Tatsuya stand behind the
Joker.]
JOKER: Damn! Take the remaining
Skulls and follow him!
SHADOWS: Yes...Heil Mask...
[They disappear, and the
Joker staggers forward.]
JOKER: Oooh... Big Sis...
and Mama... Tatsuya killed them, right...? That's right, isn't it...? Papa...
[The party rushes forward.]
EIKICHI: Jun! Give it up
and open your damn eyes!
JOKER: Jun...? I... who
am I...? I am... I am...
VOICE OF SOMETHING: Don't
forget... You are the Joker...kill...kill...kill...
JOKER: Yes...I am...the
Joker!
[Enter Battle]
JOKER: Ten years...it's
been a long time. You should take this pain and sadness upon yourselves
and know what it's like!
EIKICHI AND LISA: Jun!
MAYA: Jun-kun, stop it!
I'm alive! There's absolutely no reason for you two to fight!
TATSUYA: ...
Start battle with Joker.
He's at Level 45 and weak to Earth. I suggest being between levels 40-42.
If you're using the Custom Persona, the fusion that's Maha Magnus + Straight
Slash does a lot of damage. Watch his attacks--he has one that will poison
your characters. The battle is worth about 22,000 EXP.
If you chose to make Yukino
go with you at the beginning of Caracol, she and Anna will arrive after
this battle finishes. Yukino will then join you for the next battle.
YUKINO: Is everyone okay?
What the hell is...
JOKER: This is ri, ridiculous...!
This shouldn't happen! I won't accept it! I won't accept it!
VOICE OF SOMETHING: Do you
want power? Then wish... hate... scorch your body in the flames of hatred!
JOKER: I want...power! Power
that will not yield to anything!
MAYA: No! Don't listen to
that voice!
[Jun's Persona comes forth.]
NYARLATHOTEP: Your wish
has reached me. I will give this power to you, who has been called an angel,
in exchange for your Self.
[Sparks fly, and a strange
pair of wings that turns into a sort of demon appears on Joker's back.]
JOKER: Aaaaaaaaaah..?! S...stooooooooooop...!
[Enter battle.]
ANGEL JOKER: I am the almighty
Great Angel...I will slash apart the souls of filthy children with my sword
of light...
LISA: What should we do?
EIKICHI: Isn't anything
gonna work? Hey!
MAYA: Jun-kun, please...stop
it...
TATSUYA:...
[This can be a bitch of a
boss fight, even if you're at high levels. I was at Level 47, and he still
creamed me. Angel Joker is at Level 46 and has several very strong Holy
attacks, including one that will instantly kill up to three of your party
members. This looks like icicles coming out of the ground. Other than that,
he has Alpha Blaster, which is also painful, as well as Hamaonn, which
isn't too bad, comparatively. You might get lucky and he won’t use these
on you--but if you're unlucky, it can hurt. Recarm Dora, if you can get
it at this point in the game, or Crisis Powder is a good thing to have
on hand. Angel Joker is probably weak to Dark, but I just used regular
fusions and killed him before too long. Be careful, because based on the
spells he's cast, the affected party members will take about 150-200 points
of damage upon Angel Joker's death. The fight is worth 30,000 EXP, so you'd
want to avoid having people killed at the very end of the battle...well,
unless it's Yukino, who won't be playable anymore after this fight.]
[After Battles]
[Jun lies on the ground with
his head in Maya's lap. Lisa and Tatsuya kneel nearby, with Eikichi, Yukino,
and Anna behind them.]
JUN: Was I... having a bad
dream... this whole time...?
[He sits up, and Maya hugs
him tightly.]
LISA: I'm so happy...! I
really am... so happy...
EIKICHI: Dammit... you really
made me worry...
[Tatsuya flicks his lighter.]
JUN: Tatsuya... have you
always kept that with you?
[Jun looks at his watch.]
JUN: It's moving... even
though it should have been stopped ever since that day...
JUN: Ah! Even though we
promised to always... always... protect Big Sis together, I...I!
[Maya helps Jun stand. She
gives him the Nemophila from Gouketsu-ji.]
MAYA: Jun-kun... this is
how I feel... I promise...
MAYA: Even if somebody blames
you... even if the world is surrounded by foes... I will hold to this pledge.
JUN: A Nemophila flower...
I'm so sorry... Big Sis... I'm so sorry... Tatsuya...
[Jun drops to his knees
and clutches his head.]
JUN: I...I...[screams]
MAYA: What...? My Persona
is... frightened...?
???: How pathetic. The leader
of the Masquerade is accepting sympathy from his enemies?
???: Well, Jun. Your revenge
is now complete. Open the path to Idealian.
JUN: Stop, Father! All I
wanted to become was... a person like Big Sis, who guided people to their
dreams!
JUN'S FATHER: That's why
I granted you that power and In-Laqetti. Your dream should have
come true. Why have you turned on me?
JUN'S FATHER: This time,
it's your turn to make my dream come true! Daddy will take care of these
people who cheated you.
JUN: I won't let anyone
hurt Maya-neesan... not even you, Father!
JUN'S FATHER: ...Hmph. Fine.
Jun... you're no longer part of the Wheel of Fortune.
[Jun's Persona is whisked
away.]
JUN'S FATHER: I will guide
the Masquerade. You, along with the old world will become cornerstones
for the new world. Goodbye, Son.
[He disappears, and everyone
is taken to Philemon's dimension.]
[IN PHILEMON'S ROOM]
PHILEMON: Finally... past,
present and future. The Wheel of Time has begun to move, and Xibalba has
appeared in such a form.
PHILEMON: In order to escape
from the perpetual torment of the meaning of life, people have cast the
world into an abyss.
PHILEMON: From here on,
what awaits you all is something that the Crawling Chaos has spun, and
may be worse than anything you have encountered before.
MAYA: The Crawling Chaos...what
is that?
MAYA: There are still too
many things we don't understand. Jun-kun's father...and that Persona...why
rumors are becoming reality...
PHILEMON: The time for you
to understand everything will come. If there is anyone that can stop the
domination of his darkness, it is you.
PHILEMON: The power of your
feelings that have been brewing for ten years' time... go forth and show
him your potential.
[If you chose to leave Yukino
behind before Caracol, she won't talk during this next part. Also, Anna
won't be with you, obviously. And you won’t get Hermes.]
YUKINO: Philemon, would you
give my power to summon Persona to Kurosu?
MAYA: No way... but then--what
will you do, Yukki?
YUKINO: I don't need my
Persona anymore. From here on out, I'm just going to look straight ahead
and walk on forward. It's my turn to share my feelings with someone.
PHILEMON: I understand.
But there are not many who visit here that can state their name. You can
state your own name, can't you?
JUN: My name is... Kurosu...
Jun Kurosu! I'm not... anyone else anymore!
PHILEMON: Good. I believe
in your strong heart, which watches over you, and your kindness towards
others.
PHILEMON: I entrust Yukino
Mayuzumi's Persona power to Jun Kurosu.
[A new Persona, Hermes,
appears above Jun.]
HERMES: I am Hermes... I
give and receive good luck and riches, and roll out the red carpet for
the souls of the dead. My other Self, love people with your unselfish heart
that is like the wind...
JUN: It's warm... thank
you, Mayuzumi-san... I won't put your sacrifice to waste.
PHILEMON: The rest of you
have also changed from who you were in your youth, and seem to have found
your new Personae. Those thoughts will certainly become your power in capturing
Tomorrow.
[A new Persona, Apollo,
rises from Tatsuya.]
APOLLO: I am thou... thou
art I... I cometh from the sea of thy heart... I am the ruler of the blazing
sun and the blue sky, Apollo.
[A new Persona, Artemis,
rises from Maya.]
ARTEMIS: I am Artemis...
the goddess of the hazy moon that shines over worldly things...You, my
chaste other half, must not shy from your destiny.
[A new Persona, Venus, rises
from Lisa.]
VENUS: I am Venus, goddess
of beauty who dances with truth, beauty, goodness, and love. I am you and
you are me... now, we are one...
[A new Persona, Hades, rises
from Eikichi.]
HADES: My name is Hades...
weighing human deeds on the paths of Righteousness and Evil, I am the lord
of the underworld, who judges the life one has lived... I am thou, and
thou art I... now, let us accompany one another...
PHILEMON: I will send you
to Xibalba.
PHILEMON: If you only stretch
your arm out a little to catch your dreams, the stars will shine even in
the darkness. The taking of the Wheel of Fortune depends on it.
[Outside of Araya Shrine]
AKARI'S VOICE: Oneechan!
[Akari and a few grade-schoolers
come in.]
AKARI: Oneechan, the city
is flying! What's happened to it?
BOY WHO LOOKS LIKE JUN:
And my Mama and Papa went away...
BOY WHO LOOKS LIKE JUN:
If I think hard about it, Mama and Papa were always there, but now when
I go home, I'm alone...
BOY WHO LOOKS LIKE JUN:
Papa and Mama never did anything but fight. But they're still my papa and
my mama!
BOY WHO LOOKS LIKE JUN:
Oniichan, Oneechan! Get the bad guys and bring my Papa and Mama back!
MAYA: It's okay! Leave it
all to me! I'll get the bad guys before you can say "Jack Frost" and I'll
bring your Papa and Mama back for sure!
MAYA: Hey, you guys! Why
don't you tell me what you want to be when you grow up?
EIKICHI: Maya-nee, this
isn't the time for that...
BOY: I want to go to Italy
and become a soccer player!
GIRL: I'm gonna become a
singer! And I'm going to dance school, too!
MAYA: You know what? These
boys will teach you a special charm to make your dreams come true!
JUN: Um... it's called "Persona-sama"...
KIDS: Persona-sama, Persona-sama,
please come here.
KIDS: Persona-sama, Persona-sama,
please come here.
KIDS: Persona-sama, Persona-sama,
please come here.
[All the kids walk away
except for Jun's little clone. Jun produces a pink flower.]
JUN: I'll definitely bring
your Papa and Mama back. This is a sign of our promise.
BOY WHO LOOKS LIKE JUN:
What kind of flower is this?
JUN: It's a flower of hope.
[The boy takes the flower
and leaves.]
JUN: If we collect the Five
Skulls and release the collected Ideal Energy, we might be able to turn
the people that I turned into Shadow People back to normal.
JUN: That's the key to the
awakening of Xibalba from its sleep--the power source.
JUN: If we steal all of
the Skulls and land Xibalba before the Grand Cross aligns, we might be
able to prevent any further tragedies.
JUN: They have established
four houses that correspond to each of the Skulls--Earth, Water, Fire,
and Wind. The Skulls should be enshrined in and controlling each House.
JUN: First, we'll steal
back the four Skulls, and finally, board and take over Xibalba.
JUN: Father is definitely
after the Skull of Heaven and Hitler, and should be heading towards the
center of Xibalba.
YUKINO: I'm sorry about
this, you guys, but I'm gonna take my leave here. I was thinking I'd stay
behind in the city.
YUKINO: The battle between
the Masquerade and the Last Battalion is probably spreading throughout
the city. People might get hurt.
YUKINO: I thought it would
be a good idea for there to be people in the city who can fight when that
time comes. I don't want anyone else to die.
EIKICHI: I understand how
you feel, but no matter how tough you are, isn't fighting them by yourself
without a Persona a little crazy?
ANNA: It's all right, because
she's not alone... I will protect Yukino. I won't allow anyone to hurt
her.
MAYA: Well, then I'm sure
you'll be okay. Anna-san, take good care of Yukki!
YUKINO: One last thing--if
you end up having to ride anything, don’t let Maya-san drive!
MAYA: Hey now, Yukki! It's
rude to say that to a genius driver!
[Everyone laughs. Yukino
waves and walks off with Anna.]
[Talk to party members]
MAYA: To lead humanity to
Idealian... that was really Jun's father's idea?
MAYA: Right now, we have
to focus on getting the skulls back. Jun-kun and Tatsuya-kun, if we're
with you two, no matter what happens, we'll be okay!
LISA: Philemon told us to
use the power growing inside us for ten years!
LISA: I've got the power
of ten years of one-sided love! Masquerade, Last Battalion, come and get
it!
EIKICHI: Finally, we've
got all of our old friends together; it doesn't matter if it's the Masquerade
or the Last Battalion, I'm not gonna lose to anyone!
JUN: We'll steal the Four
Skulls, then take over Xibalba. It might be difficult, but we don't have
any choice.
JUN: Please, Tatsuya, lend
me your power... we've got to stop my father, no matter what it takes!
It's the only way that I can atone.
[Leave Araya. Your next destination
is the Aquarius Shrine, in Hirasaka. There are armor upgrades at the Anima
Mundi and weapon upgrades at Tony's Shop in Yumezaki.] |
