Chapter 4 - A clash of vengeance, rebellion, justice and truth

Despite being out numbered, David Platt and Azrael were proved to be too much for The McBusted Boys and The Phantom Thieves with Azrael’s powerful dark affinity skills including his Maeigaon that hits everyone at once and Magatsu Mandala (with David using his eyes while summoning the attack) which can cause those who got caught in the attack to become fearful (Haru helped to smoothie their fear with her Amrita Drop skill). “Just what is this power of his?” said Futaba nervously. “So this is the Platt Stare they were talking about?” asked Dougie.

The McBusted boys tried to help with their Huehuecóyotl’s musical skills, but David attacks them with Azrael’s Magatsu Mandala, which forces them to separate, weakening Huehuecóyotl’s powers. “You all are no match for my powers, punishing celebrities who plague our world just because they’re famous!” said David as he targets The McBusted boys using Eigaon. The McBusted boys tried to fight back, but with them separated from each other, they weren’t strong enough.

The Phantom Thieves helped to protect them, as suggested by Futaba. “I won’t let you all fall!” said Ren, using his Arsène to counter Azrael’s attacks with his Curse moves to protect Tom. Ann uses Carman’s Agidyne to protect Danny in a veil of fire from Azrael’s attacks, Yusuke uses Goemon’s Mabufudyne to freeze the attacks that were aiming at James, Ryuji uses Captain Kidd’s Headbutt to charge towards Azrael when he was about to physically attack Matt, Morgana uses Zorro’s Diarahan to heal the damage that Harry took, Matoko helps to cure Charlie’s fear with her Johanna’s Energy Shower, and Haru protects Dougie from Azrael’s Magatsu Mandala by using Milady’s Mapsio to shield him.

This helped the McBusted to regroup with each other while The Phantom Thieves protected them and kept David busy, even if he is still a tough opponent for them. They rushed towards each other with Matt saying with relief, “Guys, I’m glad we’re in one piece.” “Thank goodness, but we need to help those Phantom Thieves,” said Danny with concern as David was overwhelming them. “If only we were as strong as them” said Dougie. “We may not be as strong, but let’s focus on our strength with what we can do as musicians,” said James. “Right, I’m with you. Let's show that we can inspire others with our music!” said Tom as the McBusted played their instruments to heal and power up the Phantom Thieves with manifesting their powers.

“Thanks! It’s what I needed!” said Haru, who was healed by their singing. “This is music to my ears!” said Ann as she was powered up, allowing Carmen to hit hard. “Once again, we’re glad to make use of our performance,” said Charlie modestly.  “Your songs aren’t half bad, but I have to silence all of you for your own good!” said David, using Azrael’s Magatsu Mandala to separate them again. “You can’t stop us now!” said Harry as Huehuecóyotl protected them and the Phantom Thieves with a veil of musical notes that served as a shield. “Using art to protect oneself; now that is something that I haven’t heard of” said Yusuke as he was observing the musical note barrier like fine art.

“No matter how talented or popular you are, I can’t allow you celebrities to do whatever you please!” said David with Azrael firing Maeigaon onto the ground, which causes the team to fell with the barrier fading away.

The McBusted boys were still close together, with each of them sharing their determination to fight for The Phantom Thieves and each other. “Guys, no matter what happens, I’m with you,” said Danny as they all warmly looked at each other. “We’re here forever, inspiring others with what we love doing best!” said Tom as the McFly boys use their Huehuecóyotl summoned Psy spheres made out of musical notes, which landed on David. Everyone was astonished that they were able to successfully use an offensive move for the first time, which was made possible for their love of their passion and each other. “Ha! How do you like them apples?” boasted Harry. “Good for you to pull off an attack like that!” said Ren as he and the others struck David while he was done. “Allow me to call this one Melody Blaster!” said Dougie.

As David got up, his Azrael unleashed his Eigaon towards them. “We may have had our difficulties...” said Charlie. “...But music is what brings us together!” said Matt as the Busted boys played their guitars and bass for the Huehuecóyotl to unleash a large Psy shockwave that cuts through the attack. “Now that’s great use of your instruments!” cheered Futaba with the Phantom Thieves following up their attack on David. “I like to call this one Musical Boomburst!” said James.

Striking back, David once again tried to separate the McBusted boys but they use their telepathic powers to keep each other close  by forewarning each other on when they were about to be attacked , locating each other if they got separated or provide moral support (e.g.  Danny telepathy asking Dougie if he is ok, James forewarning Matt that he was about to get attacked and Charlie letting Tom and Harry know that he is nearby) . The Phantom Thieves also continued to protect them with help from the McBusted boys now that they can use Huehuecóyotl’s offensive attacks effectively (while still powering them up with their music).

Finding himself at a disadvantage, David cried, “I cannot afford to lose! Not with those corrupt celebrities running wild!” In desperation to take them all out, his Azrael unleashed his Mamudo towards the group. The McBusted boys combined their performance together for Huehuecóyotl to unleash a Psy explosion using Synchronize Symphony, causing David to become knocked down. “That’s it! Now’s our chance!” said Morgana as they charged towards David for an all-out attack. “Feel our passion!” said The McBusted boys in unison as they held their instruments.

Having to remain victorious, the McBusted boys and The Phantom Thieves approached a defeated David lying on the floor. “I had this power, yet all this time, I was all alone. You McBusted boys and Phantom Thieves have each other, which is why I lost,” said David, lamenting his defeat. Even if they disagreed with his methods, they all had some sympathy for him. “You are not alone, David. Melissa  has wronged us, too,” said Dougie as they all helped to pick him up. “That’s right, and we can all stand up to Melissa together”, said Ren. “And that is by changing her heart”, added Morgana.

“Tell me, I was wrong, wasn’t I?” asked David. “You’re not totally wrong. We get that some famous people take advantage of their fame,” said Makoto gently. “But there are still many good celebrities out there who inspire hearts. You gotta focus on these ones,” added Matt. “Yeah, we help our fans to be happy, donate to lots of charities and stood up to a fan who had been wronged by Melissa  earlier”, said Tom.

 “No celebrities are perfect; they’re just as flawed as ordinary people, which makes them human”, said James. “Yeah, even we make mistakes or hurt others, but what matters is that we learn from them and take responsibility for our actions to make us grow for the better”, said Danny. “Give the good ones a chance to learn and grow while only condemn the ones that are bad,” said Yusuke. “This reminds me of one of our songs from our Young Dumb Thrills album”, said Harry.

“In any case, you don’t have to do this alone. We are willing to help you and your son,” said Charlie. “And for the sake of those who have suffered from Melissa ’s actions”, said Ann. David warmed up to their kind words, realizing that not all celebrities are bad and said, “I guess it’s good of my son to get into your music.” “Once again, he has good taste”, said Danny, smiling. David has joined the team to stop Melissa , but without resorting to extreme measures. Futaba has given him a code name: Eyes. “I suppose it’s fitting, I guess”, said David awkwardly.

 After David handed over the key, the group opened the door and found a cloud of rainbow mist in the shape of a medal, resembling the one that she won for a singing contest. The room has all kinds of toxic substances. “So is this the treasure?” asked Charlie. “I don’t see anything”, said James, who is perplexed. “It won’t appear physically unless we make Melissa  feel threatened that her treasure, which represents her desire, is going to get stolen”, answered Morgana. “And we can do that by sending her the calling card in the real world”, said Ren. “Ooo, can I come up with a calling card?” asked Dougie. “Oh no, you don’t!” said Tom, knowing that Dougie was far from a suitable candidate. “You can leave this one to me”, said Yusuke. “I trust you, Phantom Thieves, to do your thing”, said David, and they got back to the real world in preparation for the calling card and their heist. “All this Persona and Phantom Thief; it’s been an incredible experience”, said Danny as he took it all in. “Yeah, though more importantly, we’re going to get back at Melissa  for giving us pop stars a bad name!” said Harry. “I say that we all make a great team!” said Haru. “You bet, but we owe it to you all”, said Matt. “And now we wait for Melissa to receive the calling card”, said Futaba.
