Phantom Thief Lucifera: Caught

*.*.*.*

It was heists like these that Lucifera enjoyed the most. The ones were there was a much, much higher risk of being caught. It got the adrenaline pumping, the thrill of being almost caught yet getting away with it, there was no better feeling in the world!

But what was truly the most enjoyable about this particular heist was the look of fear and panic on the faces of all the Sunny Kingdom nobles!

Lucifera hopped around on hanging lights and other decorations as the guests tried frantically to see where she went next. She was on a pillar one second and the moment they blinked, gone!

They could hear her move, but they could never see her.

Soon Lucifera saw that three men in black uniforms began filing into the hidden floor below the Hinata Estate.

'It's time I suppose~!' Jumping to the largest light fixture in the center of the room Lucifera stood tall and proud with what looked like a suitcase in one of her hands. As gasps and frightened squeals escaped from the nobles the men in black talked into their communicators.

"We've located the leader! Begin pursuit."

Lucifera smirked and jumped to the next light fixture.

"That was amazing!" Lucifera heard Incubus squeal through her micro-com. "I'm sure someone like Ira wouldn't have been able to pull something like that off!"

"The main forces are now all focused on her, which gives the rest of us time to get the final piece and escape. Nice job Lucifera. Does everyone remember where we're meeting up?" Avarice asked.

The rest of the team gave a sign of confirmation.

"Alright then, get your asses in gear and let's go! Be careful, Lucifera."

"...not...he...confirm...in..."

"What was that!?" Ira asked.

"Forget about it! Focus on getting away there's a lot of cops showing up!" Avarice replied.

Jumping atop different platforms Lucifera got to the nearest door before jumping down and exiting. She began ascending the flight of stairs.

"Take the next left Lucy." Avarice instructed. Lucifera did as told and went through the left door near the fourth floor staircase.

She was able to see countless crates. Even though she couldn't see into any of them she knew what was in them...and it disgusted her.

'When did everything go to shit in this planet?' Lucifera couldn't dwell in it for long, she had to get away quickly.

Running through the room Lucifera exited through the only other door in the room. She saw a long hallway and on the right side of it was a large window. People were on the other side typing away. One of them inside was standing, barking orders through a communicator.

"When you find them I want them all killed!" He shouted.

Lucifera could only assume he was talking about her allies. She ran by quickly to avoid being seen by anyone in that room.

"Your exit is through the left door." Avarice said. Going through that door Lucifera found herself above a room full of people, but luckily none of them were part of the cops.

Lucifera grunted.

"Hey, I know it's gonna be a pain, but your exit is the giant stain glass window, should be across from you. The first three floors are crawling with cops and are on lock down so those aren't an option. Try not to injure yourself Lucy."

"Stop!" As soon as Avarice stopped talking three men in black showed up behind Lucifera pointing guns at her. "You have no where to run!"

Lucifera jumped onto the railing and sprinted on top of it towards the stain glass window. Finally reaching it she jumped through the window, "See ya~!"

"Well when I said your exit was the stain glass window I meant for you to break the glass nearer to where the platform was so you could have a safe landing, but okay I guess this works too!" Avarice said.

"As reckless as ever, huh Lucifera!" Gula giggled.

Lucifera landed safely on the floor thanks to her flexibility and reflexes, but when she got down there, there was a swarm of cops!

"We have you surrounded! Now! Grab her!" The presumed leader of the police yelled through a megaphone.

"What!?" Avarice screeched. "An ambush!?"

"A what!?" Gula gasped.

"Lucifera, will you be okay on your own?" Luxure asked.

"Lucifera!"

"Please be safe!"

Lucifera could hear the panic in all of their voices, but she was confident. They wouldn't catch her. They could never before and they certainly won't be able to now. And she saw an opening to escape!

Lucifera ran towards the left and jumped up she managed to get herself atop the nearby platform, but unfortunately more policemen were waiting for her there.

'What? But they weren't-' She couldn't finish her thought as the policemen there roughly grabbed her and tossed her back down, this time she fell with a loud thud as the police on the ground surrounded her and held her down.

Once she was handcuffed one of the men shouted, "Suspect secured!"

The, presumed, leader came up to them and roughly grabbed Lucifera by the hair, "Well, well, well, I didn't expect the elusive thief who took on the name of hell's king to be a woman much less a child."

He slammed Lucifera's head onto the concrete floor. "Thanks to your buddy we were finally able to get you."

"...!"

"Heh...that's right kid, you were sold out by one of your own teammates! Let's take her in."

Lucifera struggled, but it was futile, there were too many men grabbing a hold of her...and there was no opening of escape in sight.

*.*.*.*

Flash!

Flash!

Flash!

Three pictures of Lucifera...or the girl behind the Lucifera mask, Rein Soleil, were taken at the police station.

Afterwords she was roughly shoved into a room and restrained onto a chair. She continued to try and struggle.

"You're not getting away so give it a rest!" One of the men who threw her into the room kicked her in the stomach. The one who restrained her got out a needle and injected something into her neck.

Rein couldn't tell what it was, but she saw everything turn black...

*.*.*.*

Splash!

Rein awoke to cold water hitting her face.

'Where...' Rein waited for her vision to adjust. She saw four men in the room with her.

"This isn't nap time, no dozing off for you." One of them said.

That was when she remembered where she was and she began to struggle again.

"Still half asleep, thinking you can still struggle? Get up!" The man roundhouse kicked Rein knocking her and the chair she was on down.

Rein groaned in pain. The same man came up to her and slammed his foot down onto her head.

"So are you planning on cooperating with us or were you hoping for another injection?"

"..."

"Hey! Answer when I talk to you!" He took his foot off of her, bent down and grabbed her hair.

"..."

"I. Said. Answer!" He slammed her head against the floor, the only answer he got was another groan of pain.

He kicked her in the stomach and sent her flying towards the wall. She began coughing blood.

The man went towards another wearing glasses and took a clipboard from him. "Obstruction of justice, blackmail, defamation, possession of weapons...and let's not forget manslaughter! To think that a child like you was responsible for all those crimes...well I suppose it's not that far fetched considering that you are the daughter of the most powerful kingdom's rulers. It's a shame that you'll be charged as Rein Soleil, a nobody, rather than Princess Rein of the Sunny Kingdom, hm? At least if you were charged as a royal the most that could've happened to you was a five year sentence to a juvenile facility."

The man smirked before continuing, "But now you're family has abandoned you and wants to be rid of you. For someone like you, who enjoyed every second of committing all those terrible acts against this planet, I'm sure the death penalty is the most suited, perhaps if you're lucky, lifetime imprisonment on the Walpurgis Planet."

'...Enjoyed? Everything feels...hazy...can't remember...'

The man motioned towards the other men in the room. They went to Rein, untying her form the chair and removing her handcuffs. She slowly sat up straight grabbing her aching head.

Once they backed away the man who was talking to her this entire time came up to her and thrust the clipboard into her face.

"A confession of all your crimes. Sign it." Rein slapped the clipboard away from her and glared at him.

"...See." He slammed his foot down on Rein's right leg.

"Ngh!" Rein groaned in pain, but refused to scream.

"...All I need is your hand to sign these papers, but I couldn't give a damn if you were to lose one of your legs." After stomping on her leg one more time he bent down to Rein's level and thrust the clipboard into her face again. Rein roughly grabbed onto it and took it from his hands. He reached into his coat and grabbed a pen for her which Rein also took.

"Don't expect to leave this place in one piece. As Rein Soleil we will show you that you must take full responsibility for your actions against the crown."

Rein signed the papers and handed the clipboard back to the man.

*.*.*.*

"This place is off limits." A man was stopped by the guards outside of the room Rein was being kept in.

"I'm Edward Nacht from the Public Prosecutor's Office. There's something I need to confirm with the suspect, let me through." The man introduced himself.

"This case is no longer in your jurisdiction, you have to leave." The guard said.

"It's urgent just let me thr-"

"Are you Mr. Edward Nacht? You have a call from your director." A detective came up to him with a cellphone, "Now hurry and take the call. You're being a nuisance by staying here."

Grabbing the phone and answering it the first thing Edward heard was a sigh from him superior.

"I told you to standby."

"I'm in charge of this case and yet I'm not even able to interrogate the suspect? I refuse to leave until I know for sure myself. I am going to get my answers, I refuse to believe any of it until I get confirmation myself."

"...Ugh...good luck then I doubt you'll get much from the kid." The director hung up and Edward handed the phone back to the detective.

"I'll allow you to talk to her, but I'm afraid we'll have to cut your time short. For your own safety we cannot let you inside the room with her for too long when she's not affected by the drug. We don't know what she might do or how she might do it now that she can think more coherently."

"..." Edward moved towards the door and this time the guards let him through.

*.*.*.*

Rein was now sitting upright in a chair in front of a table, hands folded on top of it.

Edward entered the room and sat across from her. He noticed that she looked beat up.

"...I never expected for Lucifera to be you of all people...Those bastards, beating you up, I even heard they drugged you. Unfortunately, they can do whatever they please to you and I can't do or say a thing."

"..."

"There are some questions I want you to answer. You don't mind do you? After all, I answered your questions."

"..."

"I don't have much time so I need you to answer me honestly. Why did you cause that incident? What's your objective? I knew this was something serious from the get-go, but a proper case couldn't be built because we didn't know the method behind it."

"...Of course you couldn't have known."

"Ah...I see you were just being silent, it's good you really are coherent as they said. But you have a point. No one would know the method behind it because a world like that existing just doesn't seem possible, even with all the reports I've read."

"..."

"So...when and where did you discover that world? How is it even possible to steal someone's heart?"

"..."

"I need you to tell me everything, starting from the very beginning of it all."

"..." Rein took a deep breathe before beginning.
