The infamous, or so they would hope, team known as the H.I.V.E. F.I.V.E stood at a hole in the roof of the Jump City Museum of Art History, waiting impatiently as the youngest member of their squad hung suspended above a security stand.
"Well, Gizmo, can you hack it?" Jinx asked in a loud whisper.
Gizmo gave a salute and resumed typing. "And, we're in! Piece 'a cake. Security system stinks. Tada!" lasers deactivated all around the room, and the team dropped down onto the floor.
"When you've got it, you've got it!" Jinx began, indicating to the boys to start raiding. "No need to be shy! When you've made it, parade it, shout it to the sky! We're takin' it all, makin' it a clean sweep, surprise, surprise we're claimin' the prize, and makin' the final leap!" She continued; dancing over to a certain case she knew contained the jewel she was hoping to sell to a rich collector. It was finally time to do as they had been trained for in the academy for years, real mercenary work, where the only law is money.
"When you've won it, you've done it, no need to be coy." She jumped up onto a sarcophagus case, pointing out items to take. These Egyptian artifacts would be enough to buy them the life of freedom and luxury only the rich and corrupt could enjoy.
"It's a shutout, so strut out, cut loose and enjoy. We're takin' it all, makin' it a clean sweep. Surprise, surprise, we're claimin' the prize! And makin' the final leap! And takin' it all" Several of the Billy clones joined in now, chanting along in a whisper "takin' it, takin' it, we're takin' it all."
They had the run of the museum, and full confidence in their ability to get away with things. After all, there were no titans in town. Who was going to stop them? Jinx had seized this opportunity to start their first real mercenary gigs, the necklace, rumored to be a powerful good luck charm, was commissioned as a trial run for this client.
"The game is near the end-
They can't reverse the trend-
Victory's in store -
Baby, it's time to roar!
We're takin' it all!" Jinx wished for a moment she had a microphone to raise high above her head as she sang, instead she just jumped back to the floor to hex open the cases to the items she wanted, as the boys shouted in the background.
"Takin' it, takin' it, we're takin' it all!"
Jinx's face fell for a moment as her hand closed on the necklace, and she felt the complete lack of magical energy. The legend of its power was just that. Pity, she could have charged much more if it were genuine.
"When you've won it, you've done it
No need to be coy
It's a shutout, so strut out
Cut loose and enjoy
We're takin' it all, makin' it a clean sweep
Surprise, surprise, we're claimin' the prize
And makin' the final leap!
And takin' it all!"
Arms loaded with their gods, unable to carry anymore, the crooks kicked open the doors of the museum, finally ready to celebrate a perfect heist, singing and laughing. It was like fate had finally smiled on them. They had been in dire straights before, and only because of Gizmo's inventions had they avoided severe debt.
"The game is near the end,
They can't reverse the trend
Victory's in store,
Baby, it's time to roar!
We're takin' it all"
They were cut off from their celebrating by a gust of wind that left them not quite empty handed. Stunned, the H.I.V.E. F.I.V.E. looked at the 'replacements' they had received, as the alarm system sounded. Jinx shook her head and said the first thing that popped into her head.
"RUN!"
(Takin' it, takin' it, we're takin' it all)
