Chapter 7: The Thane and the Knave

They arrived here in Saronia Harbor

Refia: Welcome to Saronia. Thank you for your help. Me and Ken going to go see my uncle. Take care!

She and Ken left

Tama: Hwuh?

Ann: What is it?

Tama: I just the-noticed... The whole the-town ￼seems to have a threshold around it.

Yusuke: Wait, does that mean there's a powerful Mirages or Shadow here in Saronia?

Tama: Very the-close. Keep an eye the-open.

They noticed Lann didn't speak

Morgana: Hey, are you okay? You look kinda Quite.

Lann: It's so cold! I thought it would be warmer in this town. But it isn't! Not at all!

Then he stepped on someone

???: Ouch!

Dogmon: Oops! My bad, Morgana!

Morgana:

Lann: Then who was it, I step on?

He saw a Strange Cat

Ryuji: You're such a weirdo. Why are you saying sorry to the Cat?

Lann: Because of the look. Scared the honk out of me.

Makoto: Since we're here, why don't we go ask around the people about the place?

Ann: Alright.

They speak to the People about the town

Ryuji: Man, what happened here?

Akira: I know... How can it be so different from the next road over?

After they speak to the People

Haru: You know, From the sound of it, they must have joined up with the Federation pretty recently.

Akira: I think now I'm starting to see what Princess Sarah means...

Ryuji: Well, for now, why don't we see if we can go talk, to the Thane guy about the League of S.

Morgana: I'm probably wasting my breath, but try to watch what you say around here.

Ryuji: Um, okay.

Tama: Looks like the Thane's ￼manor of the very tippity, the-top of the town. Let's mooove.. it the-out!

They went off and see Refia and Ken

Soldier: I said for ya to scam, kids!

Ken: Will you just listen to what Refia have to say!

Futaba: Ken? Refia? Is that you?

Refia: Oh! You caught up.

Morgana: What happened? Did they give you trouble?

Ken: Yes, they didn't allowed me and Refia to enter the Manor. Because the Thane is her uncle. We're not allowed to talk on my own flesh and blood now?

Soldier: I don't care who you supposed to be, cause you ain't seeing him!

Morgana: Huh? Look, we are here to meet the Thane on behalf of Princess Sarah of Cornelia. Take a look for yourself. That's the Cornelia Seal.

Soldier: What now?

Reynn: I expected better from you, considering you're practically our neighbors.

Ryuji: Yeah.

Soldier 2: Cornelia has Jiants for emissaries? They got some kinda royal Cornelia thing with them.￼

Soldier: Huh? You're serious?

Soldier: Beats me. You gonna send them packing and take the risk?

Soldier: Wait, here. I will have to check with His Thaneship.

Minutes Later

Soldier: The Thane says he'll see you.

Ann: Let's go, you two.

Soldier: Hey, the kids stay here.

Morgana: Refia and Ken was part of our Antourage.

Yusuke: Exactly. They just "ant"-eceded us.

Soldier: But-

Akira: See ya!

Refia: Thanks you, guys! You're always there for me and Refia.

Futaba: No problem. I mean, it's wasn't a lie. We were all heading in more or less the same direction.

They met Thane

Thane: You must the Jiants from the Hill and the Persona Warriors emissaries from Cornelia.

Reynn: Yes, we're here to-

Thane: I heard the Federation finally gave up and just invaded them. Are you telling me the invasion failed? Hm? Are you asking for my help?

Akira: Of course, they did try to invade but for the moment-

Refia: Who are you?

Thane: Hm? Why, Refia, Ken. Is that you?

Ken: Who are you!?

Thane: My dear, please. It's me, Refia's-

Refia: No, you are not Uncle Takka!

Ryuji: Huh, Refia, Ken?

Thane: (Laugh) Then I was right. If you managed to see through this facede, then there's no mistake: You and Ken are a Medium. Yes, I was wise to make sure you and Ken, and to ensure that you never returned.

Both: Where is Uncle Takka!?

Thane: Well, he's standing right in front of you. Make no Mistake. Little kids, this is your Uncle.

Refia: What are you...

Thane: How Intriguing. This must be an act of fate. The Jiant from the hills, Persona Warriors, here. And with them, a Champion's Medium! And not just an Medium-- One that bleeds the same blood as this body.￼ (Laugh) It's more than fate. It has to be destiny. How can I not rise to it!

He became Bahamutian soldier

Ann: That Answer that. He's the one who put up the threshold here.

Akira:

All: Mirages!

They are summoning their Mirages to fight him

Ryuji: Let's tear him apart!

They fight him and defeated him

Ryuji: That's all she wrote!
