a man with a fox mask (Arturo) a man with a dolphin mask (Daisuke) a woman with a sad face mask (Alyona) a man with a dog mask (Harold) a woman with a cat mask (Madame Twisted Mind) and a man with a monkey mask (Blind Thief) are entering inside of a bank.
at first everyone though that it was a joke to see people with masks entering in the bank until they pulled their guns out and they aimed at everyone in there. Daisuke creates six clones. Alyona raises her arms to interfere with the cameras also she turns off any alarm inside of the bank. Madame Twisted Mind is walking around of the bank and she touches the heads of people and after whispering in their ears they fall asleep one by one. Blind Thief asks to an employee to take him to where to the bank vault is. the employee takes him to the bank vault.
"Sir I don't know how to open that door."
said the woman trembling in fear with the idea that if she commits a single mistake she might be kill.
"don't worry baby, take your notebook out and take notes that Professor naughty hands is here to teach you the basics of theft."
said Blind Thief feeling proud of the one thing that he owns in this world and that is his power.
Blind Thief closes his eyes. he puts one hand in the vault door and the other in a huge bag on the ground. when he opens his eyes the bag is full with cash (Blind Thief didn't just took that nickname from another Villain that he killed but he also took that specific nickname because it is perfect for his ability.)
Blind Thief's power is called "nolite oculis, ne fureris manus" his power is quite unique. a good way to describe it is by this example: if there is something that is hidden behind a door, a vault or a counter he has to put one hand in the "door/wall" and whatever he wants to take would appear in the other hand but it isn't just by magic. with the hand in the "door/wall" he can see across the other side and to take it he has to think really hard in what in specific he wants to take for it to appear in the other hand. his power might sound simple and magnificent but if someone doesn't know how to control it they might end up killing themselves by accident.
Arturo uses his tentacles to take the bags full of cash. he uses one of his tentacles to turn invisible while he walks outside to put the bags full of cash on two cars. Harold feels useless while he looks at everyone doing their part on this heist. Madame Twisted Mind notice how he is feeling because she was in his position once. she walks towards him.
"your moment to shine is coming. no need to be worry for your utility, soon you would do so much that you won't know how to feel."
said Madame Twisted Mind expecting for her words to be enough to keep him focus.
"thanks.... I am curious.... I mean is not my place but why didn't your relationship with Sir Bloodstain worked? you seem to care for him much and he seems to care for you too."
said Harold unaware of how uncomfortable his question might sound or feel.
"there was always a ghost stopping him to fully love others but that ghost isn't present when he is in front of that policewoman.... I hope that she can give him the peace that no one else can."
said Madame Twisted Mind feeling conflicted and some pain in her heart that causes a tear to fall off her face unnoticed just like her love.
"okay boys we have what he came for. let's leave before any of the heroes comes for our asses."
said Daisuke with a huge smile on his face.
"wait there is something else that I need to get from the vault. this was a direct order from the boss."
yields Blind Thief while he is using his power to take a billions of dollars worth ring from the vault.
a guard wakes up and he looks at one of Daisuke's clones. the guard grabs his gun from the floor and he shoots at the clone which explodes killing the guard and leaving wounded some of the people that was unconscious in the floor. the only person from the team that was wounded is Alyona but it wasn't anything serious (Daisuke's clones explode if they are killed or if he whistles.)
"are we officially fuck? or do we need of a divine sign to say that we are officially fuck."
said Harold trying to be sarcastic.
"don't look down on your evil superiors. we are the Villains of this city and a real Villain isn't a Villain if he doesn't have a plan B to Z and a few tricks of their sleeve. also write down on your notebook to always had the number of the psychologist of a few Heroes so you can used their private conversation to blackmailed them for a helping hand."
said Arturo feeling pride of his Villain profession.
Alyona tells them that she would stay in the bank and with her power she wants to move the cars with the money and make it look like they are in the cars while they are using an exit to leave. Blind Thief tells her to burn down the money if there is no way to keep the money.
"you know that I don't like this idea, so is a no. you know that I need of your power to hack so I can watch the next episode of my favorite show."
said Arturo with a sincere smile.
"sometimes I wonder if you see me as a friend or as a means for you to watch shit for free when you could just pay for it."
said Alyona knowing to not expect any complement from Arturo.
in the meanwhile in the H.C.P.D....
Fumiko was working on some documents when Malcolm told her that he is going to send her with Jurgen to assist the Heroes in a possible bank robbery. Fumiko had a bad feeling like if she could tell that Arturo had something to do with the bank robbery.
Jurgen receives a call from a friend while they go to his car. he drives as fast as he can. he keeps receiving calls from other cops and he seems to be really nervous. Fumiko doesn't want to look at him because she feels some sort of guilt. she heard Arturo talking once about a job on a bank and of course that doesn't mean as an actual employee of one. Jurgen puts a cigar on his mouth and he looks at Fumiko.
"I know this is your first time assisting a Hero to stop a Villain but don't worry it is not as big of a deal as it looks like. your first time is always fear and nerves but the second time it becomes easier and every time after that one becomes more easy to handle."
said Jurgen trying to calmed her down.
"thanks. how many Villains you think we might face? is any dangerous Villain among them? sorry if I ask too many questions but I can't stop thinking in what I need to know to not commit a mistake at the moment of helping the Heroes."
said Fumiko trembling with a bit of fear and excitement.
"hey, I am starting to get white hairs on my head for your fault. I worry too much for you. so please promise me one thing..... promise me that you are going to be careful in this mission. I don't want to be worry for your safety."
said Jurgen with a German accent looking at the eyes of Fumiko and noticing how important she is to him.
"look at me Jurgen I am going to be such a good cop in the future that you are going to asked for my autograph for free one day. I promise that from this day on I would become the greatest cop to ever live in this city, a legend among legends."
said Fumiko already thinking about a statue build on her name.
"yes, you are going to be great. correction you are already great but from now on people would know how great you are. but try to keep your head on its place."
said Jurgen smiling and feeling how every feeling of anxiety is gone.
Jurgen is not the type of person to smile and even he was scared when he notice his own smile. he puts a hand on his mouth and he looks at the road while he blushes thinking in the idea of how happy he would be if he marries Fumiko, he even imagines himself with kids and a huge garden.
in the meantime in the bank...
Arturo is playing poker with Daisuke and two of his clones. Blind Thief and Harold are outside shooting at cops together while the rest of them are curious in what would happen if they don't escape with the ring. Alyona already blow up one of the cars with the money while the other car is arriving at their base with half of the stolen money. Madame Twisted Mind is whispering in the ears of the unconscious civilians. they heard explosions and gun shots.
"Neon M-F Destroyer that wanna be Villain. I don't know why we even bring him to the job when he always ends up destroying shit and getting the cops behind his ass."
said one of Daisuke's clones angry at Harold.
"our only option out is by fighting the Heroes but I can't tell how many of them are going to attack us. also the Drainer and Bloodstain working together is going to bring a lot of problems in a future so if we don't act by thinking first and then doing something positive also Bloodstain's girlfriend knows who he is so this might pull them apart instead of bringing them together."
said Harold while he enters inside of the bank.
Madame Twisted Mind has a solution. she is going to make the civilians inside of the bank to walk out with a mask on and they can walk with them and in that way the Heroes would never know who is a Villain and who is a Hero. everyone accepts and they also agree to one thing. if one of them is caught then that person is on their own and the rest can't help otherwise all of them are going to be capture.
"I like it"
"I am on"
"dangerous but smart"
"my best idea so far"
"not of my liking but a majority is a majority so let's do it."
said Arturo the only one who didn't agree but jet accepted that option.
"so when are we leaving this damn bank? because those stinky Heroes are getting close with their scratching asses cops to "Assist" them."
said Harold worry.
"I have one additional idea. but to make it work I would like to continue once they are literally in our front door knocking to make our escape more simple and easy."
said Arturo desperate to not see his beloved Fumiko.
"don't worry we don't need to wait those bitches are desperate to take us forth and back from the underworld. they almost blow up my brains."
said Blind Thief running inside of the bank.
"is any of you looking on your phones at the news? your rival Ray of Hope is outside of the bank at this moment having an interview with Walter Grey from the Violet Swirl news. I can see many cops and Heroes in there, some famous ones."
yields Harold looking at his phone impressed.
at the moment outside of the bank....
Jonathan is having an interview with Walter. Jonathan is expressing his repentance towards his past actions and he shows his desire to be a better man not just as a Hero but also as a man. he wants to be a better man one capable of earning everyone's respect and affection. Jonathan promises to protect the city from any evil and to be the Hero to put an end to the reign of Terror of Bloodstain and his allies.
Jurgen and Fumiko are on the car looking at Jonathan trying to play the role of the victim like he always does. Jurgen whispers in her ear letting her know how much he hates her ex and he even tells her that if it wan't because he is a lawman he would had put an ax in between Jonathan's eyebrows. they both are laughing for the drama that Jonathan is making to repair his damage reputation.
Malcolm is walking among some Heroes and cops. they are all asking him about his early days and Malcolm answers letting them know about his glorious days and he laughs with pride and a bit of bitterness for the situations that took away from him that thing that used to be his life, his everything. he lost a lot of things and the opportunity to keep working as a Hero was one of those things. but even regret can't solve anything so he tries to avoid any regret by reminding himself of the things that he was able to keep safe thanks to his sacrifice.
Fumiko is waiting for anything to happen when she gets a text and she looks at her phone. it is from Arturo and it was just to confirm what she already expected. he wrote "I am sorry, the bank incident was me." followed by an sad face.
