"*YAAAAWWWWNNN!!* Man, it's pretty effin' boring just sitting around waiting for contracts to come in." Ryuji whined, as he leaned back against a wall in Yongen-Jaya, with Makoto, Yusuke, Futaba, Haru, and Ann. "Ugh, and of course Akira's busy with something today, so we can't even kill time by hangin' out with him."
"I mean, it's not like we NEED Akira to hang out, that's what we're doing right now, isn't it?" Ann responded, as she took another sip of her milkshake.
"Yeah, but when he's with us, everything just seems a little more, I don't know, cool? Like he's able to take the most boring shit and make it more fun." Ryuji explained, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"He does seem to have that quality about him, the ability to make the mundane seem more extraordinary." Yusuke postulated.
"I believe he mentioned something about a doctors appointment?" Haru added, to the others shock.
"Is it something serious?" Ann asked, but the Older girl shook her head.
"No, he made it sound like it was just a normal check-up with Takemi-sensei." Makoto explained.
"Oh, you mean the creepy goth doctor?" Futaba asked, receiving a scowl from the older girl.
"Futaba-chan, that's very rude of you, Tae Takemi-sensei is--!?" Makoto started to scold the ginger girl, but froze in confusion and shock with the rest of the group as a familiar sound came from Ryuji's phone.
"Location Discovered"
The group stood there in disbelief for a moment before Yusuke broke the silence. "Was that the Metaverse Navigator?"
"Y-yeah, I had it on so in case any names triggered a Palace response, but I didn't think?!" The fake-blonde stammered.
"Well, I guess we need to check it out then. Since we've got nothing better to do." Ann said, and the group moved out to Leblanc to figure out the rest of the Keywords.
------------------------------------------
"Alright, your vitals seem perfect, which means we can move on to the testing phase " Tae said as she finished examining the inside of Akira's mouth with a tongue depressor (Those things doctors have that look like popsicle sticks). "Now, todays test may knock you out for an hour or two and you'll probably be very drowsy for the rest of the day, so you might want to go ahead and call off any plans you had."
"I've already taken care of that. We have all the time to ourselves doc..." Akira said jokingly, earning an raised eyebrow from the blue-haired goth.
"You might want to be more careful with your words Guinea Pig, after all, I haven't check every part of your body." Tae said as she slipped a rubber glove on, with her index finger pointed straight up, threateningly. Akira looked at her confused for a second, before her noticed that she was staring at his ass.
"A-Ah, I see what you mean. I think I'll stick with just the meds today..." Akira said, moving his hand to protect his rear.
"Hmph, have it your way..." Tae muttered, almost disappointed with the teens response. "Here, this is todays sample."
She handed him a small glass with a pale, pinkish liquid inside. "Bottom's up." Akira said before downing the whole thing.
"Ugh... can you possibly make one that doesn't taste like crap?" The teen asked, and to his mild surprise, he actually got a chuckle from the punkish doctor. "It's also pretty weird that you still need me to test this, you've already gotten your cure..."
"Sorry, Guinea Pig, but I need to do this." Tae said, and Akira was taken aback by her sudden sincerity. "You'll understand why soon enough, but for now you can just enjoy your nap..."
The teen then quickly passed out on the bed, sound asleep. Tae rolled her chair over to Akira's unconscious body, running her hand through his messy hair. "Sleep tight, my little Guinea Pig, you'll be all mine soon....." The older woman's eyes nearly glowed yellow with these words, and she planted a kiss on the sleeping teen's cheek before moving back to her desk to record her findings.
Unbeknownst to her, a certain faux-feline overheard her, and ran off in a panic to alert the others....
------------------------------------------
"Are you guys sure about this? Takemi-sensei hasn't even done anything yet, we don't really have a reason to target her." Makoto asked, as the group entered the last keyword, "Laboratory".
"I mean, a Palace is a Palace isn't it? And we're talking about Akira's doctor, if she does something effed up, then Akira might be the first one she hurts." Ryuji retorted.
"I just can't see her abusing her position like--" Makoto started to say, before Morgana burst throw the window of Leblanc.
"Guys, we've got a Palace to infiltrate, and it's the last person you'd expe--" The 'cat' started, before Futaba cut him off.
"Tae Takemi, we were literally just debating whether or not we should infiltrate it." The ginger girl said.
"How did you--?" Morgana started to ask.
"If we're being totally honest, it was a complete accident. We said her full name while the MetaNav was open, and it located her Palace." Haru explained,
"Clearly you're on my side for once, but why are you so keen on it?" Ryuji asked the faux-feline.
"I was just watching Akira's appointment, and she gave him something that knock him out." Morgana explained "Then she said something about how he'll be all hers soon, and kissed his cheek."
The collective looks of shock (and outrage from the girls) from the group meant that there wasn't going to be anymore debating, the group then headed out towards Takemi's office, and entered her Palace....
------------------------------------------
The Phantom Thieves entered into a twisted version of Yongen-Jaya, which had a dark and damp atmosphere, and where Tae's office should've been, there was a massive Hospital. Actually, calling it massive was an understatement, the thing was big enough to hold an entire city inside of it!
"Why is it so damn big!? It's like this thing just ate half of Yongen!" Panther asked.
"I can't even see the top...." Noir muttered in amazement.
"Guys, it's not just the Hospital, looks like most of this fake Yongen has been quarantined from the rest of Tokyo!" Oracle exclaimed as she finished scanning the area with Necronomicon. "But that's not the weirdest thing, there's like a giant flying thing going around abducting people up and taking them through a giant window at the top."
"Strange... we'd better go in and find out what's going on here..." Queen said, taking charge and entering through the front door.
The waiting room of the Hospital was full of cognitive people, all of which looked down and depressed, as they patiently awaited their turn to be "treated" The receptionist was a feminine Shadow in a stereotypical nurse's outfit.
"Hello, Miss Takemi will see you soon, here's your waiting numbers, we'll call you as soon as she's available." The Shadow said, disinterested, as she handed each thief a slip of paper with a number on it.
"Wait, 195,623!?! I'll die of old age before we get called!" Skull yelled, enraged.
"Is there anyway we can see her early? We're good friends of Akira Kurusu." Queen asked, hoping the name would trigger a response. Which it did, as the Shadow flinched at the name, and hit a button on the desk.
"You'd better get in there now, Miss Takemi will want to deal with you herself." A large door opened up, and the thieves walked through cautiously, and came out on a table in a giant Doctors office!?"
"What the....it's huge?!" Panther exclaimed as she looked at the giant desk, which was nearly the size of a skyscraper. The door they entered through slammed shut and locked itself.
The ground began shaking as something HUGE approached, and the group quickly hid behind the various books on the table as they gazed in fear at the sight of.....!
