"Crystal, where are you going?" The master asked.
"I'm going to take care of some business. The city of Gold is getting easier to rob every day." The purple haired girl responded. "I'll be fine so back off."
"Why is it so hot?" Momo and Kikumaru whined at the same time.
"Ochibi-chan, how can you stand this heat?" Kikumaru yelled in his ears.
"You're just wasting your energy if you whine. But to answer your question, I used to hang out with Sinbil a lot. We had some fun times, didn't we Sinbil?" Ryoma smiled at his friend.
"Sure, let's go with that." He responded. Ryoma just laughed and tapped his friends' heads.
Start of a Flashback
"Get back here you mangy kids! Give me back my produce!" A black older man yelled throughout the market. Everyone just stared at the sight. A nine year old Sinbil and Ryoma were jumping around dodging the man's hands with ease. The man went to grab Ryoma but Ryoma did a back flip onto one of the stone buildings. Sinbil kicked off of each wall and jumped up to where Ryoma was.
"How do you drag me into these messes?" Sinbil asked.
"I don't know, but you need to live a little more! You're too, too boring." He laughed and Sinbil growled. "Alright, alright wolfy, we'll go home." The two ran across the housetops and sped back to the stone castle.
End of the Flashback
"Ochibi-chan was a theif!" Eiji yelled and hid behind Fuji.
"Not really, I only did that sometimes to make Sinbil here loosen up." He pointed to his friend and smirked while Sinbil sighed.
"He caused quite a bit of trouble." Sinbil added in.
"HEY! We did worse things than that!" He said defensively. The other four looked at him. "I mean, it wasn't THAT bad, you only got a portion of your allowance taken away while I was back at the dorms being punished by Hydoco. Luckily he's like my substitute father so he doesn't hurt me or punish me too badly. All he really did to me was take away my music for a week." He shivered at the thought of no music.
"Yeah, it wasn't too extreme." Sinbil admitted. They past a stand of jewelry and the manager spotted them.
"You brats better not steal any more of my jewelry." He pulled out a dagger. Sinbil retracted but Ryoma walked up to the stand.
"Like I promised, here's the money I owe you." He handed him a wad of cash and walked away. "Everyone split up and find some clues as to where the thief may be. Sinbil, are you coming back after the mission?" He asked.
"Might as well, it's so boring here." Sinbil said with a smile. "Besides, if we catch this thief then everything will be back to its calm and orderly self."
Ryoma hopped for joy and hugged his friend. "Alright, everyone split up and search for clues." Everyone nodded and the five ran in different directions while Ryoma watched around the market. "If it's the black market, then the thief is bound to be here around night time." He walked through the market to shop but also to look out for any thievery going on.
Night Time
"Hey, did you find anything?" Sinbil asked.
"Not a spec, where's Echizen?" Momo asked.
"I don't know, let's go check the market." Fuji suggested.
They came up to the market only to find it completely different. Instead of bright tents set up th tents were black. They looked around and saw a girl lugging a bag of stuff. But they also saw Ryoma stalking her through the market. Every so often she would snap her head toward the direction Ryoma was at and he would hide behind another tent. Everyone followed them around and saw her try to exit the city through the giant doors that they entered through. But Ryoma stepped in front of her. "What do you want?" The girl asked rudely. Ryoma just stared at her. She continued to walk up the steps until Ryoma turned the stairs slick and she slipped back down.
"What's in the bag?" He asked.
"What bag are you talking about, this one? Just some stuff I bought at the Black Market. Why does someone like you want to know?" She asked.
"Give it up lady, I may be three years younger than you but I can still take you down." Ryoma said rudely.
"Prove it squirt." She mocked.
"That was the wrong idea, calling him short I mean." Sinbil said behind them.
"Ha, like that would matter to me, I'll take this squirt down in no time." She pulled out her dagger from her belt and charged at Ryoma.
Ryoma grabbed the dagger and shattered it. "Don't you ever, ever… CALL ME SQUIRT!" He screamed kicking her in the stomach sending her across the street. "Never call me dwarf, or squirt, or Shorty, or pip-squeak or ANY of that!"
'She didn't say any of those things.' The other five thought as they took a step back. Ryoma walked over to the girl and wrapped two handcuffs made of the four main elements around her wrists. She glared at him and he picked her up slinging her over his back.
"Let's go, mission is complete."
"You mean it's over, just like THAT?" Eiji asked.
"Yes, now let's go." Sinbil grabbed Crystal's bag and walked through the city doors. "Or else Ryoma will go balistic with rage."
