Due to the nature of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and it's multiple 'episodes', Labrys' role varies between the two. These will be divided into sub-sections for ease of reading. | |||
=== Episode P3 === | |||
The day after the events of the ''P-1 Climax'', Labrys is under repairs for the damage she sustained during the previous day's events. Her consciousness had been shut down for the process, and while it was she began dreaming. In this dream she met Elizabeth, who had informed her that this was not a dream and instead the [[Sea of Souls|World within People's Hearts]]. Elizabeth, excited about Labrys newfound power due to awakening her Persona, insists on a battle to test that power. After this battle, Elizabeth warns of an ordeal coming her way, and Labrys soon wakes up to an alarm blaring and [[Kurosawa|Detective Kurosawa]] explaining that the car that [[Mitsuru Kirijo]] and [[Fuuka Yamagishi]], [[Akihiko Sanada]] were on is missing. Additionally, ''Public Safety'' raided the lab that Labrys is stationed in to try and retrieve her, leading her and Detective Kurosawa to escape to the roof where a helicopter awaits. On the helicoper is [[Ken Amada]], [[Koromaru]], [[Yukari Takeba]] and Mitsuru's maid, [[Kikuno Saikawa]]. Kikuno fills the group in on the situation, as well as providing Yukari and Ken with Evokers and weapons, and providing Labrys with documents pertaining to the events of [[Persona 3|3 years ago]]. Shortly after this, a red fog permeates the town and effects similar to the [[Dark Hour]] occur. [[General Teddie]] appears on a monitor and mocks the cast before shooting fireworks at the helicopter, causing Kikuno to have to retreat. She drops the group off at [[Junes]], but not before giving Labrys an SD card with information on a ''Project_PUPPETMASTER'', a project involving a Plume of Dusk and mentioning [[Sho Minazuki]], that [[Shuji Ikutsuki]] was the leader of. Labrys, Yukari, Ken and Koromaru split up after that, all trusting eachother to stay safe and find Mitsuru's group. | |||
Labrys makes it to the distorted entrance to [[Yasogami High School]], where she encounters a fake [[Yu Narukami]] crafted from Shadows. After a brief exchange with the intent of making Labrys falter, they battle, and the Shadow is defeated. Ken Amada and Koromaru meet up with Labrys after this, and they exchange information about what had happened so far while they were separated. Suddenly, [[Theodore]] appears, introducing himself and asking if they've seen his sister, [[Elizabeth]], before departing. After this, Ken, Koromaru and Labrys head into the school to search for their friends. They find Akihiko crucified in the Music Room, and help him down. Junpei joins them, but is quickly found out to be a Fake and dispatched by Labrys. After this, Labrys and the group go higher up the distorted school until they find Mitsuru in a room near-identical to the entrance hall of [[Tartarus]], also crucified. Before they can get her down, a Fake [[Aigis]] can be seen fighting Yu Narukami, [[Chie Satonaka]] and [[Yosuke Hanamura]]. The Fake Aigis speaks to Labrys, trying to goad her into faltering yet again, but it doesn't work and they fight. Labrys is victorious and destroys the Shadow. The group shares and exchanges information on what's happened so far, while Ken and Labrys try to get Mitsuru off of the cross. Before they can, Shuji Ikutsuki shows up, to the surprise of most of the group. Aigis and Labrys detect he is a fake like the others, causing the fake Ikutsuki to disappear and be replaced with Sho Minazuki, who introduces himself to the group. Labrys recognizes the name from the data of ''Project_PUPPETMASTER'', to which Sho responds that Ikutsuki is his dad, that everyone was in his way, and that he would kill them all. | |||
Labrys feels a reaction from the Plume of Dusk within Sho and attempts to reach out, but is attacked and subsequently uses a Remote Controller to take over Labrys' body, with this being made specifically for her 13 years ago. Using this, Sho makes Labrys attack the group, who's attempt to steal the controller away from him is stopped by Sho. Sho sends an order via the controller to kill Mitsuru, who is still crucified. Sho continues to make commands to overpower Labrys' willpower, and the sheer amount causes her to lose consciousness. Inside her mind, Labrys speaks with her Shadow, who explains that Labrys body is special; She was loaded with a Black Box that was meant for the memory transfer of her sisters on Yakushima once she destroyed them, and once she accepted her Shadow, it's personality was stored in it as well. [[Shadow Labrys]] takes over Labrys body, mocking Sho before summoning her Persona, [[Asterius]], and battling him. She breaks the remote in the process and goes to finish him off, but is stopped by Yu Narukami and his friends. Shadow Labrys gives control of Labrys' body back to her, but not before Labrys gives her a thanks for saving her. When she comes back, she talks to Sho about the feelings in the Plume of Dusk, and that he is lonely inside. Sho loses his temper and Minazuki, another personality inside of him awoken by the Plume of Dusk, takes over. Once he does, Minazuki uses a borrowed power from the Malevolent Entity to force everyone to stop moving. Minazuki leaves, and a Fake [[Yukiko Amagi]] appears. Once defeated, Labrys rushes to free Mitsuru from the cross. Everyone gathers to share information, and compile info on Sho. Labrys confides in Mitsuru about the resonations she felt within her Plume of Dusk, and expresses a desire to try to talk Sho down and save him before he destroys the world. Mitsuru approves of this and sends Labrys off. | |||
Ascending the tower with Junpei, Yukari, Ken and Koromaru, they encounter General Teddie, who wishes to battle them to deal with them himself. Labrys fights him and wins, but it seems to have no effect on him, and General Teddie simply disappears without being destroyed. Labrys' group continues ascending, meeting Sho on an exposed platform that happens to be the place Shuji Ikutsuki died. Labrys attempts to reach out to him, causing Sho to go into a tantrum and Minazuki to take over once more. Labrys attempts to talk Minazuki into standing down as this isn't what Sho really wants, and that she won't let him destroy the world. Minazuki and Labrys fight shortly after, with Labrys winning. Minazuki escapes, with a flood of Shadows rising up the tower. Yukari, Ken, Junpei and Koromaru tell Labrys to go after Minazuki, and she ascends higher on the tower. While she ascends, she meets Theodore yet again, who comments on her growth compared to last time they met. Labrys continues to ascend after this, with Fuuka contacting her to give her the password for the ''Project_PUPPETMASTER'' files, which she reviews during her ascent. Upon reaching the top of the tower she sees Sho after he was finished beating up [[Tohru Adachi]] for betraying him, and Sho lashes out at Labrys, asking her what happened to Minazuki after her interaction with him. Labrys says she doesn't know, and shortly after begins to fill Sho in on the data in ''Project_PUPPETMASTER'', which was recordings of Ikutsuki's experiments on Sho, including his desire to hurt people really meaning that he wants a connection with them. Sho gets angry and attempts to fight Labrys. Labrys accepts this challenge, accepting the fight his way. After her victory, Labrys explains more about the data she unlocked in ''Project_PUPPETMASTER'', including that Ikutsuki tried to erase Minazuki and that Minazuki, in trying to protect Sho, tried to kill Ikutsuki. Labrys tells Sho that he is like her, and was never alone, but they are inturrupted shortly after by General Teddie, who reveals himself as [[Hi-no-Kagutsuchi (Persona 4 Arena)|Hi-no-Kagutsuchi]]. He also reveals his plan; using the Persona Fragments from every fight so far as well as a mass of Shadows, he will gain a true form and incinerate the world. Labrys prepares to fight what she considers her arch-nemesis, and hears the voices of everyone cheering her on. With this power, she defeats Hi-no-Kagutsuchi, and it fades away into nothing. | |||
After Hi-no-Kagutsuchi's defeat, the distorted tower began to collapse. Elizabeth shows up and thanks Labrys for defeating it, explaining that she had a reason to see it's end. After this, she offers to transport everyone somewhere safe, which Labrys accepts. They are all transported back to the main hub of the TV, where Sho and Labrys have another talk, with Sho eventually leaving on good terms, and Labrys sensing a bond between the two. Mitsuru requests a report and, thanks to some subtle nudging by Akihiko and the other Shadow Operatives, she doesn't say anything about where Sho went. | |||
During the Epilogue, Labrys visits the grave of the girl who was used as a template for the 5th Generation Anti-Shadow Suppression Weapons. She expresses her thankfulness but wishes she could do more to repay her. A mother and her child show up to the grave, offering flowers to it. Labrys asks about them, and finds out the child has the same illness as the girl had, and thanks to her sacrifice that he can go to school and live a happy life. Once they leave, Labrys asks if she can call her 'mom', and vows to protect the world that all the lives the girl saved reside, and to do so as a Shadow Operative. | |||
=== Episode P4 === | |||
This episode focuses on more of the [[Investigation Team|Persona 4 Cast]], so Labrys' role is relatively short compared to the Episode P3. Labrys calls [[Naoto Shirogane]] from the helicopter that picked her up, bringing her up to speed on what happened at the headquarters with Public Safety's raid and Mitsuru Kirijo going missing. This call is cut off by the 'Dark Hour-like' effects of the P-1 Climax beginning. Labrys appears to protect Naoto when Minazuki is about to kill her, refusing to back down from him. This persists even when a Fake Naoto appears alongside a screen showing General Teddie. Naoto informs Ken and Yukari of Mitsuru's location within the tower, leaving the Fake Naoto to Labrys. Once defeated, Naoto collapses, and Labrys helps her up by offering a shoulder to lean on. After exchanging information and talking about their friends, they make their way to the others. | |||
Labrys and Naoto appear as Minazuki is about to give a fatal strike to Yu Narukami and block it with their personas. Labrys gets ready to fight even though she is exhausted, only for Tohru Adachi to make an excuse as to how it's a bad idea. Minazuki starts to leave, but Labrys, Naoto and Yu surround him. Minazuki uses a power borrowed from General Teddie to immobilize them, and leaves. A Fake Mitsuru appears, and the group are forced to deal with it instead. After this, Labrys brings up her suspicions of Sho having a Plume of Dusk to Yu Narukami and his friends. After Naoto considers it a possibility, Labrys and Naoto lend their shoulders to Chie and Yosuke and carry them up towards the top of the tower. They find the real Mitsuru crucified, and guarded by a Fake Aigis, who attempts to talk down to and try to convince Labrys to join her to take revenge on humans. Labrys admits that while she does hate some humans, she likes the rest, so she won't give in. Labrys is unable to battle the Fake Aigis due to holding up Chie, so Naoto protects her. Once the Fake Aigis is defeated, they free Mitsuru, and gather the info they know so far, including the fact that Ikutsuki is Sho's father and that he experimented on him. After regrouping, a wave of Shadows appears, and everyone starts to do battle. Labrys is one of the people who encourages Yu Narukami to go and stop Sho. | |||
During the True End of Episode P4, Labrys is seen joking and having fun at the celebration party for completing the case. Eventually, she steps away, prompting Yu Narukami to ask what's wrong. Labrys explains that she didn't get a good look at the town before, so she wants to now. Labrys bows to Yu in appreciation for helping her feel so welcome after being asleep for so long. Labrys thanks Yu, and assures him that Sho will be alright. Labrys then thanks him and tells him she will do her best. | |||
