Fifteenth Heist

Aus - A classic Heist by my favourite Phantom Fox. Stay classy Alice~

Opening theme:

When the gang returned to the carriage, they were already going over the next phase in the plan. What they weren’t expecting was Sleight and Storm coming in...and looking like the Meowth that caught the Goldeen. “Well now you two look happy. Something good happen?” Alice jokingly asked.

“You could say that,” both of them replied, a notably cat-like grin on their faces.

“Well, don’t keep us hanging,” Shade chuckled.

“Alright. Get this, after the show, we had an...unexpected guest,” Sleight began, as they started to recap what happened. Once they were done, the group of thieves were soon grinning with them.

“Oh man, this is rich!” Scep laughed. “He came to you, you gave him a gift, and now his ‘good luck’ charm is about to screw him over!”

“But in all seriousness, great job,” Alice congratulated. “Thanks to you, the plan has a MUCH higher success rate now.”

“Toichi also deserves a lot of the credit too,” Storm smiled at their son. “After all, you’re the one who made these devices possible,” she said, to which the colt blushed slightly.

“Its not that great,” he said bashfully. After all, it wasn’t anything special, at least to him, since he just copied them out of some of the stories he had read.

“Great or not, the fact is you’ve created a large number of enchanted items already. That in itself is very impressive, son,” Sleight said as he ruffled the young colt’s mane.

“Well, enough of that mushy stuff,” Rascal grinned. “Let’s see what holes we can put our target in.”

With that, they quickly activated the crystal that was part of the pair, listening in on whatever it is currently getting from its partner. Based on the conversation, it seemed that Extra Layer was going over his plans for tomorrow night, particularly the staged theft that was about to happen.

“Perfect on both fronts,” Alice nodded. “Not only do we have proof against Layer, but on top of that, this means the gallery is mostly deserted now. This is a good chance to proceed with phase 2.”

“Then what are we waiting for?” Scep grinned.


“So here we are,” Fox mused. It was strange really. This was the first time she had been Fox more than once in a night.

“Well, security is a bit better than the storehouse. Then again, those ARE real paintings and artwork in there, so I suppose it would make sense,” Shade commented.

“So what do we do now?” Charlotte asked.

“Set up the surprises now?” Spinner continued.

“Or just leave the calling card?” Charlotte finished.

“Just the calling card this time...on second thought, be ready to set up the heist too,” Alice said. “After all, we don’t know if he’s already prepared the stage for HIS heist. The last thing we need is our surprises mixed up without us knowing it. Of course, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take the chance if its good.”

“Good point,” the two Spinarak nodded.

With that, the group quickly snuck into the building. The art gallery was actually quite spacious, being at least 2 stories in height, and had a rather impressive spread of items. “Nice place he’s got here. So...what are we gonna be taking tomorrow night?” Rascal grinned.

Making their way around the nearly deserted gallery, they made sure to make mental maps of the layout of the building, noting any and all possible escape routes and entrances, as well any spots they can use to set up their impending heist.

As they were leaping through the mostly dark building, Alice couldn’t help but think that for a heist like this, a floor plan of the building would have been useful...but unfortunately, the limited resources prevented her from getting one as easily as she normally did. “The one thing I dislike about being brought here...is having to start from scratch…” she mentally sighed. Oh well, not much she could do about it now. At any rate, it was better than being left behind in a world that was probably falling apart now that the legendaries no longer helped regulate it.

However, her musing was cut short when she noticed what looked like a guard enter the room. Quickly jumping up to the rafters, they watched from above as the guard pulled out what looked like a magical flashlight, and used it to go over something in his hoof. A blue sheet of paper, which were undeniably floor plans.

“Jackpot,” Shade grinned, as she tensed up, ready to pounce on the unsuspecting pony. However, Alice stopped her.

“Don’t. If we take it by force, he’ll report to the other guards, and we risk compromising everything,” she said.

“Okay...but how do we get it then, dudette?” Scep asked.

Alice thought it over...and grinned savagely. Dropping down from the rafters, she quickly threw up an illusion, changing into her pony disguise, complete with a security guard outfit.

“Um...excuse me?” she said to the guard, putting up meek persona.

The guard blinked, then chuckled slightly at the seemingly meek mare. “Yes? Can I help you?” he started, then added, “Er...new recruit I’m guessing?”

“Y-yes. Er...you see, I’m not familiar with the building, and I seem to not have been given a map yet…” she said, her illusion shuffling nervously, projecting the image of innocence and vulnerability. “C-could I…?”

“Ah! Of course,” the stallion said, flashing as charming a grin as possible. Walking up to her, he showed her the blueprints.

She looked it over and smiled. “T-thank you,” she said, giving him a cute smile that all but melted his heart.

“Anytime. Its only right for a gentlecolt to help a mare,” he grinned.

“Yeah. You’ve been...a really big help,” she nodded...her tone changing at the last bit, and the last thing he saw was what appeared to be powder in his face...then everything went black…

When he woke up, he scratched his head in mild annoyance. “That was weird,” he groaned, then sighed. “I really need to get a date if I’m desperate enough for an imaginary mare…” he sighed, before finishing up his rounds and going home.


“I can’t believe he fell for that one!” Rascal laughed as the Fox gang roof hopped back to the hotel they were renting.

“Oldest trick in the book,” Fox agreed. “And just to make sure he thinks it was all a dream, I made sure to make it look like he had fallen asleep on the job.” After she had knocked the guard out with some sleep powder, it was a simple matter for the team to take note of any and all hidden compartments or entrances that may or may not have been built into the building. From the blueprints, which seemed to be authentic as far as they could tell, the gallery only had a couple of secret entrance/exits, unsurprisingly marked as ‘for emergency use only’. Once they had gotten a good bead on the area, she was sure to return the blueprints to the guard AND move him to a new position, namely on one of the many chairs that had been laid out so that when he woke up, or if someone happened to see him, it would look like he had fallen asleep rather than being knocked out.

“So this means phase 2, is done, right?” Shade mused.

“Eeyup, now all we need to do is wait till tonight...that and listen in on anymore of Extra Layer’s talk with his goons. Funny how we’re about to thwart a robbery...just so we can steal the items ourselves,” she chuckled at the irony.

“Aww, but Alice, don’t forget. We’re not really stealing it, we’re just...borrowing it,” Rascal grinned.

“Heh, you got that right. Its showtime,” Fox grinned.


The next day, the gallery was already abuzz as the soft opening of the gallery was already attracting a crowd. Even with the added security due to the advance notice that was found that morning. However, strangely enough, if one looked closely, it seemed that the extra security was simply more private guards. In fact, there didn’t seem to be any indication that the security was preparing for any robberies, nor was the public, or police aware of it.

Amongst said crowd, a certain colt was there too. However, unlike the rest of the crowd, he wasn’t there for the art. No, he was there to spy. Toichi couldn’t help but smirk as he imagined the music from that spy movie he once saw. Using the crowd to blend in, he made his way to the gallery without catching any attention...or he would have been able to, if he wasn’t wearing a trench coat...in the middle of a sunny day.

“I fail to see how wearing a trenchcoat is a viable disguise,” Spinner deadpanned from under the coat. Alice had told him to help Toichi in his endeavor. Unfortunately, it seemed that Toichi has not fully understood how some things that work in fiction didn’t work in real life, namely wearing a trenchcoat as a disguise. True enough…

“Hey kid, where do you think you’re going?” came the voice of one of the security guards as Toichi suddenly found himself lifted up.

“Ah...I…” Toichi gulped...before Spinner decided now was a good time to crawl out of the trench coat.

The guard looked at him funny, before sighing. “Oh, so that’s it huh? You just wanted to bring your er...pet spider along,” he sighed, trying not to think too much on the part of the giant spider Pokemon.

“Ah...er...yeah, Spinner likes drawing stuff with his webs, so I thought he’d like to see some actual paintings,” Toichi quickly lied, making up the excuse.

Spinner on his part gave him a deadpan look, before using his web to make a simple drawing of...well...some kind of fox?

The guard sweat dropped at the...VERY crude picture, not exactly sure what to make of it. “Well...we don’t technically have any rules on pets...so...I guess you can go in. Just make sure he doesn’t go leaving webs everywhere,” he sighed as he put Toichi down.

“T-thanks, mister!” Toichi smiled, as Spinner jumped on his back and they trotted in, the guard muttering something about ‘kids these days’.

“That was close,” Toichi sighed.

“That would be thanks to your disguise,” Spinner sighed. “A trench coat might have been usable in cloudy or rainy weather, but in broad daylight and on a sunny day, it attracts attention.”

“Well...we’re in right?” Toichi reasoned, though inwardly he was groaning at the reality that he was actually being lectured...by a spider. “So...yeah, you know what to do.”

“Of course,” Spinner nodded as the two of them entered the gallery. Moving discreetly, Toichi quickly went to the spots that the Fox gang had taken interest in last night. Using a quick motion to check, Toich smiled lightly after each time. It seemed that even with the extra security, the trick hadn’t been found out.


In his office in the opposite building, Extra Layer paced, a frown on his face. “Of all the times…” he growled as he looked at several news clips that he had gathered. All of them showing the same story: ‘Mysterious Thief Strikes’. Oh yes, he’d been keeping an eye on this ‘Fox’. She’d only been on the scene for a short amount of time, and already she’d caused an entire gang in Manehattan to collapse, got Grumble of Tall Tale exposed as a fraud (and sent to jail), and even caused the arrest of Gray Hat, a Canterlot noble. “And now it seems she’s singled out me for her next target,” he grumbled. However, shortly after he smirked. “Eh, what am I worried about? There’s no way she knows about my activities. After all, who’d be dumb enough to squeal on one of my transactions...unless they feel like joining in on the sentence. A thief is a thief, she’s probably just after the “Harmony of Equus” for her own collection,” he told himself. “Well, she’s not getting it. That painting is mine, and I’m not about to miss the profits,” he grinned. After all, he made sure anyone and everyone he’s ever had dealings with, he had ample information on them, just in case they ever decided to go against him.


As night finally rolled by, the gallery soon became crowded as many wanted to see the full unveiling of the exhibits. So far, the night was enjoyable as the visitors did get to do what they wanted, all the while Extra Layer was getting the publicity he was after as he talked with guests, and even explained a little on some of his favorite works, particularly the centerpiece of his gallery, the famed “Harmony of Equus”, a simple yet marvelous painting that depicted the many races of Equus, with Ponies and the Alicorn sisters in the center, a painting said to have been painted as a tribute to the peace of the world.

However, not everyone was there for the art...at least not in the way the majority were for. Outside, a small group of Ponies, all of them dressed in black clothes and ski-masks. “Alright, boys, let’s get to work. You know what to do,” the lead pony said, before they entered the building via a hidden door.

Inside, mingling with the crowd, White Ink smiled slightly as he looked at the clock. They had been listening in on Layer’s little plan for the night, and from what they had found, his plan should be starting soon. “Let the show begin,” he chuckled to himself as he moved into position.

As if on cue, the lights suddenly went out, naturally causing a panic as the guests started wondering what was going on, some even sounding rather panicky. The darkness lasted for a few moments, before the lights went on again...to reveal several paintings missing.

“What?! NO!!! Guards! Guards!” Extra Layer ‘panicked’ as he ‘frantically’ searched for his paintings. However, when he looked towards the centerpiece of his exhibit, he stopped short when unlike his plan, the painting was still there. However, thinking quickly, he quickly put on a relieved expression, and trotted over to the painting. “Oh thank Celestia that at least they didn’t get this one,” he ‘smiled’, though inwardly he was cursing the incompetence of his men. The Harmony of Equus was supposed to be one of his bestsellers in the black market. However, as he got close, he was suddenly struck in the head when several large objects dropped from the ceiling. “What in Tartaru-” the words died in his throat when he saw what it was. His hired thieves, all of them wrapped like mummies, and dangling upside down from the ceiling, with only their heads visible...well, as visible as it could have been with the ski-masks on.

“W-what?!” he gasped...before the reality sunk in. “Wait! Where are the paintings?!” he said frantically. If the thieves he hired were here...then that must mean…

“Right here,” came a calm female voice...right before a gout of smoke suddenly emerged from the center of the room, quickly blanketing the area. Once again, the ponies in the room were sent into a frantic chatter, as they moved away from the source of the smoke. However, when they did, the smoke suddenly parted, and with a shower of sparkles, the thief revealed herself.

“Welcome one and all,” Fox said, her tone amused as she gave a stage bow. The room suddenly became alive with surprised chatter, many of the audience not sure what to think of the strange Pokemon that had appeared. However, a few recognized her soon enough.

“Hey! She’s that thief who’s been in the news lately!”

Upon hearing that Extra Layer snapped out of his panic induced trance, and growled. “Guards! Arrest that creature!” he wouldn’t let her get away with the paintings. Hearing him, the guards acted quickly, and moved to pounce on her.

“I got something!”

“I got her!”

“Something’s got me!”

Were among the things that were said as they dogpiled her. However, once the dust cloud parted, it revealed...a bunch of guards grabbing hold of various parts of each other. Really, the sight was so comical and ridiculous that many of the onlookers didn’t know whether to laugh or to cock their heads to the side in confusion.

“Nice form. 4 out of 10 for sure,” came an amused voice, as standing to the side was Fox, her perpetually amused expression present. “Quite the welcome you’ve got here, Mr. Layer,” she chuckled. “I’m surprised to see everyone BUT the town guard. Especially since I DID send you an advanced notice. Care to explain why?”

Extra Layer was silent for a moment, his mind running several miles per second...before he sneered. “Really now? I don’t recall receiving any such notice. After all, had I received that, don’t you think I would have called the town guard. I suppose I should expect as much from a thief. Who would honestly believe you?” he chuckled.

Fox frowned slightly, before that same grin that filled Layer with so much apprehension returned. “Well then, it's a good thing I invited the town guards 5 minutes ago. They’ll be sure to join the party REALLY soon,” she simply said. “Hope you’ve got a good explanation for those guys right there,” she added, pointing towards the other thieves that were currently still dangling in place.

“What’s to tell?” Extra Layer lied smoothly. “They simply got caught in one of the security systems I put in place.”

“You sure?” Fox chuckled, a sound that was starting to grate at Extra Layer’s nerves as he struggled to keep his cool. He could NOT afford to give himself away, not to some alien thief!

“No matter, after all, its time for the show to begin,” she chuckled. “I apologize in advance for the simplicity of this opening act. I promise though, that act 2 will be MUCH more entertaining,” she added, and with a flourish, removed her cape. “Nothing up my cape,” she said...before waving it around, the cape seemingly expanding, and whipping around the room causing several ponies to back away nervously, all eyes on the swirling vortex of black cloth waiting for something to happen. Likewise, Extra Layer was focused on it too, not intending to give her a chance to do anything. Too bad he probably should have been keeping an eye on his painting which was slowly inching up behind him.

Back with Fox, the vortex began curling in on itself, before forming what could best be described as a black ball around where the Zoroark was. Suddenly, it started to compress...before promptly bursting in a shower of sparkles, much to the delight of many of the audience, White Ink even offering a small clap of his hooves at the sight, the Zoroark having seemingly vanished.

“Well...that was...interesting,” Extra Layer couldn’t help but comment. “At least she didn’t-” his words died in his throat when he turned to see the Harmony of Equus missing from its place.

“Fillydelphia guard! Freeze!” came the next sound as a squad of town guards busted down the door.

Extra Layer was the image of unamused at the intrusion. “Well...at least it can’t get any worse,” he mentally groaned. “I’m afraid you’re too late. The thief already left…”

“We are?” one of the guards blinked. “Darn it! We came as fast as we could, too!” they groaned. “Well...what happened here? And who are those guys?”

Extra Layer blinked. He actually forgot about those guys he hired. “Well...I was thinking of having a sort of...publicity stunt. I hired these three to ‘steal’ the Harmony of Equus...before they get caught by the security system at the end. That thief must have pushed them into one of the props I had ready,” he lied.

“I...see…” one of the guards said awkwardly. He was...confused, since Extra Layer seemed sincere...yet something just wasn’t adding up here. “So only the painting over there was taken?”

“Huh?” Layer blinked. “Oh no, its worse than that. Several of my paintings were taken. Why, they were right...there?” he gaped when he turned to where the other paintings that had been stolen had been...only to see that they were still there, like nothing had happened.

“Huh? That’s funny. Guess she put the paintings back,” came the voice of a random unicorn, as he trotted up to the painting. Taking a closer look, a small crystal fell out.

“Hold it! We’ll be taking that,” one of the guard quickly said upon the sight of the crystal.

Upon touching the crystal, it started to glow. “Hey, get a load of this,” one of the guards said...just as the recording began.

“Alright, you three, you know what to do, correct?”

“Yeah, boss. You already went over it several times. While everyone’s at the gallery, we’ll come in in the middle of that blackout you got planned.”

“Then while everyone is in a panic, we make off with the paintings you want, and move them to the store house.”

“Good. And once we have those paintings in the store house, prep the counterfeits. We’re making a profit soon, once I sell the counterfeits I’ve prepared for today.”

“Of course, I doubt I need to say what would happen if you mess up.”

“Er...no boss. Its fine.”

The guards were now staring at Extra Layer, who was sweating a little.

“...Don’t tell me you actually believe that! It could have easily been a fake. Made to trap honest ponies like me!” he tried to defend himself. However, at this point, someone else got their attentions.

“Officer, I think something seems odd here,” came White Ink’s voice as he pointed at the name signs of the paintings that Extra Layer claimed to have been taken as well. Particularly something about the ink on them.

“Hm?” The guards went to take a closer look. True enough, the ink actually looked like it was slowly dripping away. To their surprise, it appeared that another note had been stuck on top of the sign to the painting. However, when he read it, it was revealed to be covered in what looked like water paint, hence all it took was a quick clean up spell, revealing what it really said. “...3?”

Upon him reading the words, a crystal embedded on the frame of the painting glowed, before an entire crate full of copies of the painting suddenly landed on the ground with a large crash, the contents scattering on the floor. “This is…?” the guards blinked as they inspected the items. “Counterfeit paintings.”

At the sight of the counterfeit paintings, Extra Layer started to sweat a little, but quickly calmed himself. “Relax, its just one set. Anyone could have made those. Sides, they don’t have nearly enough evidence to…

“Hey officer, I think there’s something on this one too,” came the voice of a Pegasus stallion who was standing at the side of another painting. He peeled off the note, and quickly wiped off the paint. “It says...2?”

Again, a crystal flashed, and suddenly another crate of counterfeit paintings appeared.

Seeing that, the guards immediately grabbed two more notes off of the remaining paintings. At this point, Extra Layer was starting to turn pale as a sheet, already having a VERY good idea about what was about to happen. That in mind, he started to inch towards the nearest exit…

“1?”

“Showtime?”

At the words, two more crates appeared, full of, unsurprisingly, more counterfeit paintings.

“Hey! Look over there!” An Earth Pony foal said as she pointed out the window at something, just as a bright light suddenly filtered into the room. There, out the window, on the roof of the nearby building stood Fox in all her glory, the bright fireworks going off behind her giving her an almost majestic figure.

Fox seemed to smirk, before taking off her hat and bowing like she had just pulled off a grand finale. Stepping aside a little, she pointed on of her claws behind her, just as the last of the fireworks went off, forming what appeared to be an arrow pointing downward of all things, the words ‘free (fake) paintings’ appearing over it. The words hung in the air for a few moments, before transforming into the words: ‘thank you, and good night’, ending in one more bright flash, and when it dissipated, the words and Fox were gone.

“Well...that was…” the squad captain started...right before a piece of paper fluttered down, and right into his hooves. Taking a look at it, he noted that it was a map of one of the areas in the city, with one section of the map painted with an unmistakeable bull’s-eye: the exact same spot that the fireworks had been pointing at. “Well now, care to explain what all this is about, Mr….Layer?” he said as he turned around...only to find that Extra Layer was gone.

A stunned silence descended on the room, before the guards put two and two together and came up with four. “...AFTER HIM!” the squad captain ordered, the guards quickly going after their new suspect. Fortunately they didn’t have to go far, as they were alerted by a loud “YAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!” that came from said suspect.


Extra Layer ran, silently cursing everything as he did. “Damn it all! It was perfect like it always was...like it always should be! How?! How did it all go this wrong?!” he shouted to no one in particular. No matter how he spun it, the reality was no different to him. He was through. Everything he’d built up was going up in flames around him. And for the first time since they had arrived, he cursed every last one of the recent arrivals. If only they hadn’t come. If only that damn god hadn’t decided to dump them here. Then Fox wouldn’t have come along and ruined his life…

Unfortunately for him, it seemed karma wasn’t done screwing with him yet.


“Er...is this really okay? Ms. Fox never said anything about this,” Toichi asked, not sounding too confident.

“Trust us kid, it’ll be fine. She’ll get a good laugh out of it,” Rascal waved off his worries, while Scep was busy carrying the Harmony of Equus.

“Ya got that right,” the Sceptile grinned. “Trust him, little dude, I know. The PLA did stuff like this ALL the time back on Earth.”

“...I don’t know if I should be the only negative vote, or if I should be wondering if the world is about to end if you two are agreeing with each other,” Shade sighed, before looking over at the two Spinarak on her back. “And why haven’t you two said anything?”

“We do not-”

“-see any-”

“-problems with-”

“-this plan,” they simply said, making it clear to the Liepard that she was outvoted.

“Er...okay then,” Toichi nodded uncertainly as his horn lit up, and the stuff that Scep and Rascal had prepared vanished.


Extra Layer turned the corner...only to run right into a bunch of banana peels that had suddenly appeared, causing his hooves to slide up from under him...right into an oil slick made from...vegetable oil?

“Whhhaaaatttt iiiiiissss thiiiiisss??!!!” he shrieked as he slid uncontrollably...right into a pile of water balloons, which naturally broke the moment he landed.


“Strike. Right into the meat scent,” Rascal grinned as he watched from the roof.”


Extra Layer groaned as he tried to dry himself, but for some reason, whatever was in those balloons reeked of meat, and thus, the smell was now all over his fur and mane. Any further attempts were halted when he heard the sound of barking. Turning around, he saw a pack of dogs...and they looked hungry.


“And there go the dogs,” Scep chuckled as he watched the stallion run like his life depended on it.

However, in the middle of their amusement, a sudden cold feeling overtook them.

“Scep?” Rascal started, his tone suddenly deathly solemn.

“Yeah, dude?” Scep responded, his tone matching the Weavile’s.

“Do you feel like you’re about to stare death in the face? Like we just angered a god or something?”

“Is that what this feeling is? I thought it was just the dudette behind us.”

“...now I wish it really WAS an angry god…”

“Yes, what pray tell is this I’m seeing?” Fox asked pleasantly with a smile on her face. Unfortunately the aura she was giving off only made it scary as heck, evident by how Shade, Toichi, and the Spinarak Twins had since retreated to the side, leaving the two trouble makers to their fates.

“...would it make it any better if we told you we thought it would be a funny joke for you, and that now we can’t stop it anyway?” Rascal said, cold sweat already forming.

“Aww, that’s nice of you, but from what I’m seeing, this is hardly a harmless prank. So sorry, I’m still going to have a word with you two later,” she said.

“...we figured as much…” and in a rare moment of seeing eye to eye, the two mon accepted the reality of their impending punish...er, LECTURE.

“Though on a side note, nice work with the trap placement. From what I’m seeing you two put quite a bit of thought into this,” Fox added at the end as they continued to watch the now impossible to stop situation.


Extra Layer ran like the hounds of Tartarus were on his heels. Well...all things considered, that might have been a pretty apt description actually, as another dog snapped at his hooves. Looking forward, he was treated to a sight that made him blink. “You have GOT to be bucking KIDDING me!” he groaned as lined up in front of him was...a ramp...and 3 hoops...that were on fire. Honestly, had it not been for the dogs on his hooves, he’d have done anything BUT what he was about to do. So running up the ramp, he sailed right through the 3 hoops, his tail catching a small fire on the way, though he managed to evade the dogs.

“Glad that’s over…” he sighed...until he realized WHAT he was headed straight for. An open garbage dumpster. “Oh buck this day…” he cursed before he landed right in the dumpster with a loud clang...followed by the sound of hissing as he aggravated the cats that were living in the dumpster, all of them making their displeasure known via using him as a scratching post.

A few seconds later, Extra Layer crawled out of the dumpster, covered in scratches. At this point being arrested felt like heaven. Unfortunately, it seemed Rascal and Scep’s...twisted joke had one more curveball for him. As he stumbled out of the dumpster, he accidentally knocked over a domino...which knocked over another and another till it lead to a switch of some kind, connected to the ‘conveniently’ placed machine that was holding a BIG bell shaped metal piece. The switch hit, and the machine let go. At this point, Extra Layer promptly soiled and wet himself when he saw the thing coming down on him. “YAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!”


At the end of that display, Rascal and Scep couldn’t help but laugh at the practical joke they just pulled off. However, the laughter was short lived when the cold feeling from before returned.

“Are you two quite done?” Fox asked pleasantly.

“Er...hold on,” Rascal chuckled weakly, before letting out a few more giggles at the sight of the bell covering the no doubt passed out pony. “Alright, I’m done.”

“Good. So...any requests before this?” she said, her smile growing wider, but thanks to her aura...it was anything but friendly.

“Er...5 minute head start?” Scep suggested.

“1 minute, and counting,” Fox simply said. That was all it took for the two trouble making mon to start running for their lives...well, not literally, but the principle still stood.


Ending theme:

Author's Note:

And done. This took a little longer than needed, but I hope you all enjoy this heist
