Jing walked down the street of a unfamiliar world with his trusty partner Kir perched on his left shoulder. "How did we end up in this sad world?" The Albatross asked from his perch.
Jing simply smiled and glanced at Kir. "Don't you remember Kir? We fell through a painting."
Kir crossed his wings in front of his chest. "I bet there's not a single thing worth looting for miles,"
"Well, I wouldn't say that," Jing pointed to a newspaper stand.
Another note found
Another note has been found stating that the Phantom Thief Dark plans to steal Aura's light Goblet at 11:00. Commander of the Guard, Satoshi Hiwatari, assures the press that this time Dark will not escape-
Jings' reading was interrupted by Kir pecking him hard on the head. "Jing!"
"What is it, Kir?" Jing asked rubbing his head.
"Are you planning to steal that goblet, Jing?" Kir asked for the third time.
"Yup," Jing smiled brightly
"But what about the Dark guy?" "We'll just have to get there before he does. That's all Kir,"
Jing waited patiently for the guards to direct their attention elsewhere so he could come out of the bushes.
"Jing, Are you sure this is worth stealing?" Kir whispered.
"Shush Kir!" Jing Hissed.
Finally the alarms went off and all the guards rushed into the building. Jing sprang from his hiding place. In all the confusion it was easy to weave through crowd of bystanders without being noticed. He made his way around to the back if the museum, then using years of practice, expertly scaled the wall until he came to the level that the Goblet was held. After swinging onto the windowsill Jing slid open the window and jump down to the floor. Looking around it dawned on Jing… the lights had been cut, it was pitch-black and yells of "Find him!" "Catch Dark" Could be heard all over. Jing used the chaos to to his advantage . He made his way through the rush of frantic guards, careful not to bump into any of them. Soon he made it to the podium the goblet stood on, and in one swift movement grabbed it and tucked it under his arm.
Looking back at his "exit window" he noticed a blue haired boy standing in front of it.
Jing Cursed under his breath. "Kir! I need a distraction,"
"I'm a step ahead of ya Jing!" Kir said, gliding off.
Seconds later there was a crash of breaking glass, and the boy ran off in the direction the crash came from. With out hesitation, Jing made a beeline for the window and jumped out. He landed lightly on his feet and broke off into a run. Moments later Kir came up by his side. Soon they came to a small clearing with a large fountain in the middle. Panting, Jing sat at the edge of the fountain to catch his breath.
"Pretty easy. Huh, Jing," Kir said looking down at his reflection in the water. "Yeah, it seems thieving is easier in this world," Jing said after he was finally able the breath normally.
"Or maybe they just had a sloppy bunch a guards this time, we can't let our guard down, Jing,"
Jing smiled. "I know. After all this is only our first job in this world,"
"So what are we gunna steal next time?"
Jing just shrugged and stood up. "Depends on what we find," Kir huffed. He wanted to go back home.
Jing laughed and began to walk away.
"Hey, Jing wait," Kir flew off the fountain and alighted on Jings' shoulder.
After cutting the lights and infiltrating the museum, Dark made it past the panicking guards, which actually took longer then he expected seeing as how there where more guards then usual.
Yet another attempt to catch me. Dark thought to himself, as his target came to view, but something was wrong. Something was very wrong, the goblet wasn't there.
"What the hell?" Dark stared at the spot were the artifact should have been. "They didn't move it… or else there would at least be a fake in it's place," Dark was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't hear Satoshi come up behind him. Then again, he never did.
"You're losing it, Dark," Satoshi said in an almost mocking way. "You let someone else get to your target,"
"And you let it happen," Dark replied, with an equally if not, more mocking attitude. He new that would get to Satoshi, being the commander and chief at the police force, it's a blow to his reputation when anyone gets past.
"This most bother you," Satoshi went on, with a hint of anger in his voice. "After all, someone else did get away with your prize,"
Dark thought about this, it did bother him. Not that much but it bothered him none the less. He looked at Satoshi who, he just now realized, was advancing on him. Closing his eyes, Dark inhaled, ready to respond with his usual annoying and sarcastically witty answers, but before he could do so he was interrupted by a shout from the hallway.
"Commander! We've lost Dark! He's gone," This random shout apparently caught Satoshi off guard, for he turned his attention to the hall way and sighed. When he turned he attention back to what he was doing before, he found that dark was gone. Satoshi turn and walked out of the room with a irritated look in his eyes that said. "Well, he is now!"
