Kaitou Joker

The Return Of Phoenix

"Morning guys." Jem said while yawning in the living room.

"Didn't sleep well?" Ai asked.

"I don't know, I felt something or someone was in my room last night. Call it phantom thief instincts." Jem replied.

"Well, we didn't go into your room because we had to break King and Cyan apart again." Hachi said.

"Why are they fighting anyway?" Jem asked. "I thought you said, he's the one that should be fighting me when I faked to be a boy."

"Uh, about that." Queen had a sly grin on her face, and she dodged the incoming Cyan and King.

"Never mind, if they want to fight, just let them be." Roko said.

"Who knew that Queen liked to shop." King said. "For clothes, especially."

"You guys seem to know the guy who harassed me last time." Jem said. "And he knew I was Joker."

"Oh, that freak?" Cyan laughed. "He's the one who wants to arrest us phantom thieves!"

"And he's obsessed with you." Rose joked.

"Whatever, what's the agenda today?" King asked.

"We're going to the beach again, and stealing the crowns from that museum." Queen said, while looking on her phone. "Oh, and by 'we', I mean us, the girls."

"Then what are we going to do?!" King shouted. "We'll be bored!"

"Go steal your own treasure, don't tell me you can't do it without us." Jem said.

"Fine, I'm going to the beach first." Cyan said.

"We should probably go now, or the sun's going to be hot." Ai said.

"Are we going to have lunch like yesterday?" Hachi asked. "I could make it."

"If you say so." Rose said, and they all changed in their swimsuits once again.

"Seriously, why is this place so crowded?" Roko sighed.

"Hey! Let's go up there!" Cyan said and pointed up to a steep hill.

"How are we going to get up there?" Rose asked.

"Uh, see ya'!" Jem said as she jumped her way up easily. "We're phantom thieves! We can handle a small hill!" She shouted from above.

"Race you Cyan!" King said as he jumped.

"Oh no you don't!" Cyan shouted.

"Rose, can you manage?" Ai asked. "We'll help you if you can't."

"I can do it, race you!" Rose said, and also jumped up. "I may have magic, but I've trained with big brother before!"

"Yeah." Queen said as she arrived, and Ai was putting an umbrella with Jem, and King laid out a mat.

"I'm going to take a nap." Cyan yawned and slept down.

"Fine with me." King said and lied down.

"Geez, boys." Jem said, and applying some sun lotion with the rest of the girls.

"Race you guys to the sea!" Queen said and dived down.

So did the rest of the girls, while the girls are in the ocean, a red-headed boy came over to King and Cyan.

And Oniyama, Ginko and Momo are also there in the sea again.

While the girls are splashing each other with water, they each were walking backwards.

Until Jem bumped into someone and turned around.

"Uh, sorry." She said and saw that was Oniyama, and she used him as a jumping board on the chest and jumped back.

"Oh!" He moaned.

"You!" Jem pointed at him. "You're the maniac from yesterday!"

"Jem, what happened?" Queen asked while walking to Jem's side with Ai and Rose.

"He harassed me yesterday!" Jem said, resisting the urge to pull out a card and slice him.

"Inspector!" Ginko and Momo rushed to his side.

"Oh, it's you from yesterday." Ginko said. "Feeling better?"

"I am, thanks for asking." Jem said, her anger dying down a bit.

"Inspector, you okay?" Momo asked.

"Yeah… What happened?" Oniyama rubbed his head and asked.

"You were kicked in the chest from a girl you harassed yesterday." Momo said.

"I did what yesterday?" Oniyama asked. "Like I ever would do such a low life act."

"Why you-" Jem was about to charge at him again, luckily the girls held her back.

Oniyama opened his eyes to see the girls, and he went full obsessive-phantom-thief-arresting-mode again.

"You! You're the ones who stole the diamonds at Mr Kaneari's house!"

"Yeah, so what? You harassed a girl!" Queen shouted. "You're lucky we didn't report this!"

"Like you would!" He snapped. "How do I know you're not lying?"

"Would we girls joke about stuff like this, Inspector?!" Ginko yelled, to be fair, he was the only man there.

"Can't believe you!" Momo shouted, and it was Momo and Ginko shouting at the Inspector.

"We're sorry for what he did to you." Ginko said while Momo is still yelling at him.

"It's okay, he got what he deserved." Rose said.

"So what's your names? I'm Ginko, and that's Momo." Ginko said.

"We, kinda know that already." Queen said.

"Especially her." Ai said and pointed at Jem, then she covered her mouth. "Oh, right…"

"You know us, how?" Ginko asked, as Jem scratched her face with her hand out of the water.

"I don't know, actually." Jem said, while Ai and Queen whispered behind her.

"I can't believe that she doesn't recognize us." Ai said.

"Yeah, it's not like she hasn't seen us before." Queen said.

"Wait, do I know you?" Ginko said as she moved her face closer to Jem.

(If you're asking me why she doesn't recognize Jem as Joker, I'm writing it that she,only shows it if she's phantom thieving. Don't ask me why.)

"I don't think so." Jem said, while backing up.

"Nevermind, you know Joker, right? You kinda look like him." Ginko said. "Do you know him?"

"Uh, kinda, I guess." Jem said.

"Did you see the news that he's actually a girl? I don't know why, he disappeared after that."

"Uh, that, I…" Jem didn't know how to answer, luckily Queen and the others were there.

"She has amnesia, so she can't remember anything, sorry, I guess." Queen said.

"Oh, I'm sorry for you. I hope you remember, okay?" Ginko said.

"So, what work do you do?" Jem asked.

"I'm a police officer, also an assistant to…" Ginko stopped and pointed at Oniyama, who was still getting yelled at by Momo. "... Him."

"Wow, that's unlucky." Ai said.

"What about you?" Ginko asked."

The girls looked at each other, then they nodded to each other.

"We're… Phantom thieves, exactly…" Rose said as she scratched her head.

"You're… Phantom thieves?" Ginko said.

"Um… Yes." Ai said.

"I know." Ginko said.

"How?!" Queen said.

"I was in the security room when you barged in Kaneari's house." Ginko said. "I saw everything."

"I guess you know why we're here?" Rose asked.

"To steal the four crowns of the lost princesses." Ginko said. "I know all your identities, Kaitou Queen, Kaitou Rose, Kaitou Emerald and Kaitou Scarlet. Or should I say, Kaitou Joker?"

"What are you talking about?" Jem asked. "I'm not Joker."

"Pstt, you were." Queen said.

"Oh yeah, thanks." Jem said. "As she said, I get amnesia, I forgot everything, and now I live a new life, Kaitou Joker is no more."

"Jem, we have to get to lunch, King and Cyan are still sleeping." Ai said, and they jumped out of the water.

"Where's your spot? And how did you find one?" Ginko asked.

"Up there." Rose pointed up the hill.

"How did you get up there?" Ginko asked.

"If you have the skills." Jem said, and somersaulted up.

"Bye, officer!" Queen said jokingly.

"King? Cyan? Wake up!" Ai shouted.

"Uh… Five more minutes…" Cyan mumbled, and Rose lifted him up with her powers and shook him. "Hey!"

"King!" Jem screamed in King's ear and he shot up.

"I'm up! I'm up!" King shouted. "What happened? My head feels like I hit a wall."

"Probably you were sleeping so much." Ai said. "Come on, we're going to have lunch!"

"Okay, fine." Cyan said and he dragged himself to the ship.

After they changed, they gathered in the kitchen to have some lunch. Then the girls went to Jem's room and started to change into the dresses they bought last time.

"This are really nice, you know." Jem said.

"I guess the person who designed this must like us a lot." Queen said.

When they were changing, King and Cyan were alone in the living room, they were both wondering why they both had a headache when they woke up, and suddenly they both were holding their heads with their hands, and Hachi and Roko didn't know what was going on because they were in the kitchen.

Their pain relieved, they heard a new voice, they recognized that voice. That Yawning Jerk, they wanted to hit him but they found that they couldn't move, at their will anyway.

"Now, take Jem to me. Do not let the others know." He said.

They wanted to fight back, then their bodies started moving on their own.

They can see what was going on, they're trapped in their mind.

This is when Jem walked out, and she saw King and Cyan standing there.

"Hey guys, what are you doing?" She asked, and suddenly they walked to her, she felt something was wrong, so she wanted to run.

But King was faster, he shot her legs with his ice gun, and she was unable to walk. She sliced the ice with a card from her belt, and backflipped.

"What are you doing?!" She asked, but got no answer, she saw their eyes weren't the same. Instead of purple and gold, it was red and in a 't' shape. "What happened to you?!"

Before she can react, she got tackled to the ground by Cyan, and pulled one of her hands out.

"Get off me!" She shouted, then she felt a sharp pain on her arm, then she began to feel dizzy.

"What-" She used all of her strength and pushed Cyan off her. She turned and saw King held a needle. "What's gotten into you…?"

That's the last words she said before darkness took over her.

When she woke up, she found that she was in a… Storage room?

She looked around and found out this was her airship's treasure room.

"How…?" She said, and heard a voice next to her.

She turned around out of instinct, and saw a man with red and orange hair in the dark.

"W-who are you?" Jem asked.

"Don't you remember me? My dear?" He said.

"Answer me!" Jem yelled, and threw a card at him, but he caught it with his unearthly powers.

"How did you…" She said, and saw two more figures in the dark, King and Cyan, standing there like statues.

"Did you do this to them?!" She roared. "Why?!"

"To get you, my dear." The man said. "They are just humans."

"What do you want with me?" Jem said, she was getting more angrier by the moment.

"You." He said, and Jem charged at him. But he easily tackled Jem to the corner.

"That's no way to treat your boyfriend." He mocked.

"What?! I don't even know you!" She screamed, desperately trying to break free, but his hold on her was too strong.

Then touched the diamond on her dress, and a purple flame surrounded her. It didn't hurt as much as a real fire did, but it still hurt.

"W-what are you d-doing to m-me?!" She manage to shout out.

He didn't answer, instead he took her head and forced her to look into his eyes.

"S-stop it!" She shouted, slowly losing control of her own body, like King and Spade.

"Sh, my dear, soon you won't be able to feel anything anymore." He said just as her eyes slowly turn to Phoenix's, she let out a bone chilling yell.

Then the flame slowly disappeared, and she stood, now under Phoenix's control, Sphinx.

Soon Queen and the others rushed here, everyone holding their weapon at the intruder.

"Yawning Jerk! You again?!" Queen yelled, then slowly whispering to Hachi and Roko. "Get the hose."

"Jem!" Rose cried out, seeing her friend like this hurt her the most.

"Turn her back!" Ai shouted at him.

"Why should I?" He said.

"King! Big brother!" Rose said. "Change them back!"

"Fine, I have no use of them now." He said ad they both collapsed, both gasping for air.

"King!"

"Big brother!"

Ai and Rose shouted and went to their side.

"What happened?" King and Cyan asked, both sitting up.

"He happened." Ai said and she pointed at Phoenix.

"You!" They both shouted.

"You'll pay for this!" Cyan shouted.

"Yeah!" King shouted, getting on his feet.

They were in a huge problem until Queen received a call, then suddenly all the shelves were shut.

"What?" Phoenix said.

Then water geysers came through the ceiling.

"Argh! Water! I hate water!" Phoenix shouted.

"Change her back, or else." Queen said in her most menacing tone possible.

"Fine!" He said and Jem collapsed, King, Rose and Cyan ran to her side.

"Hachi, you can stop it now." Queen said and it stopped, but Queen still had a hose on her hand.

"Now." Queen said. "We'll have a lot to discuss about."

"Jem? You okay?" Ai asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Jem said. "I am going to kill that weirdo!"

"The pleasure is all yours." Queen said.

And they all had a sly grin on their faces.

"Revenge time."
