A clear and calm night sky was pierced as alarms were blaring from a tall building. On the rooftop of said building, several armed security officers swarmed out of the stairway door. They got into a formation and pulled out their guns and pointed them at a mysterious teen like individual wearing gold and silver colored light armor that was standing on the edge of the roof. A look down the roof showed that it was at least twenty stories high and if someone fell or jumped from that height it would mean their death.

"It's over kid, we got you surrounded," The leader stated "there's nothing you can do. Now hand over that flash drive or else."

In the teens hand was a small flash drive. The teen smirked slightly and pocketed the drive. His mouth was exposed but his eyes were covered by what appeared to be golden tinted visor shaped like a lightning bolt which allowed him to see but have his eyes protected. "Or else what?" The teen asked knowingly

"You know what else." The leader said "we shoot to kill."

The teen scratched the side of his head with a finger "uh isn't that against the rules?" He asked "because if you shoot to kill and my body falls to the ground with bullet holes in it then someone going to ask questions. Questions I figure your boss doesn't want to answer."

"Who says they'll find your body?" The leader asked "we'll just erase all the evidence by the time the cops get here there will be nothing left."

"Is that right?" The teen asked as sirens were heard as police and swat vehicles surrounded the building and a police helicopter was in the air. A spotlight shown on the rooftop

"This is the San Francisco Police we have the building completely surrounded throw down your weapons and put your hands into the air and do not move." A voice stated over the megaphone

The teen chuckled "better do as the man says." He put his hands up into the air but then he put them behind his head but started to walk backward stepping onto the roof edge

"Do not move I repeat do not move." The voice stated over the megaphone

"It was a great party guys but the final hour has come and it is time I say adieu to this great city of San Francisco," He leaned back and fell off the roof.

A spotlight was shown on the falling teen as he zipped down the side of the building however just at about ten stories to go something amazing happened. A bolt of lightning flashed and the teen vanished into nothing

"Adieu to this great city of San Francisco, those were the last words the lightning thief spoke to the people arrested in last night's call to the Ankoku Cooperation. A massive warrant was issued for the company when reports of illegal experiments being performed at night were reported to police through anonymous tips left behind through a series of petty burglaries by the lightning thief. For those of you who haven't been in the loop for the past several months, The Lightning Thief has been appearing in various major cities breaking into many places both residential and commercial and leaving behind calling cards that somehow lead detectives to particular companies in those cities and have them issue for warrants involving major crimes. It is unknown who this thief is exactly as only glances of him are seen at the final act as police catch several seconds of the lightning thief seemingly falling to his doom from the roof of the company they have a warrant for then all of a sudden vanishing without a trace as a bolt of lightning lights up the sky. We'll keep bringing you updates to this story as we get them."

The news report was turned off by a woman with purple hair "another powerful company zapped by the bandit of the storm" She muttered "that makes 7 in the last several months."

An older British gentlemen nodded "that rogue is sure making a real nuisance of himself, but I have to wonder. What is he up to? Who does he work for, how is he able to disappear in a bolt of lightning. It is a form of magical teleportation?"

"If it was then Martin would have detected the magic traces but no." MOM answered then sighed "Jerry, I know we've agreed to exchange resources for various missions but I think we need to put both sides on the case. This has gone on long enough"

Jerry nodded "I am in full agreement MOM, I know just the girls to send." He worked with something and a trio of spy girls appeared with the names Sam, Clover, and Alex appeared on the screen.

MOM nodded "yes," She pulled up a pic and it showed a guy wearing a tropical shirt and shorts with the name Martin Mystery "if anyone can solve this case it is these four."

A shimmering camera image was shown which suggested that the meeting of the two was being observed by someone

A chuckled was heard as a skeleton hand covered by a black robe zoomed the screen and pulled up the profiles of the four. The light illuminating a black robed skeleton wielding a long handled scythe.

"We shall see if you mortals can understand anything that we do." A male voice stated
