Arina: (scared) you mean.. it's going to be like a battle to the death!?

Shovel Knight: no I don't think so we need a battle royale.

Peacock: so it's kind of like a team work.

Game Master: that is correct, seeing that there will be challenges for strength, strategy and smartness... To see how you will make it through to work together as a team.

Sly: and who exactly is going to be the leader.

Saber: I bet it will be me.

Shovel Knight: I think it should be me, I'm a great leader to help out.

Saber: oh really let's see how a great leader you really are a little knight.

Shovel Knight: what did you just call me!?

Saber: you heard me right a little knight..

Shovel Knight: you better watch it lady!

Game Master: enough arguing the two of you!

Saber: okay then who is the leader?

Shovel Knight: yeah who is it going to be?

Game Master: the leader of this group is.. Lupin the IIIRD!

Saber/Shovel Knight: WHAT!?

Everyone looked at Lupin with surprise and shock.

Lupin: me..?

Game Master: yes I have been watching you.. so now you have pretty good performance of coming up plans and strategies for your heist.

Lupin: geez, kind of makes me feel like you're a fan.

Sly: so it seems I'm not the only Thief.

Lupin: so it seems your thief as well, raccoon.

Sly: listen here bud my name is Sly Cooper number #1 theif.

Lupin: speak for yourself, I was able to create gizmos and gadgets for myself.

Sly: is that so, luckily I have a friend that can actually have a unique skill for trading gizmos and gadgets for my team.

Lupin: it seems that both of us have different types of teams with different types of skills.

Sly: you're right, both of our teams are different.

Peacock: wow you two should get a room..

Lupin: hey come on I'll talk back to the leader..

Sly: you shouldn't even say something like that, the two of us aren't gay or anything..

Arina: come on now they're getting along with each other as friends.

Game Master: and now let the games begin!

Game Master snapped his finger, Lupin and the others got teleported into the first stage of the game.
