Meanwhile back at the hideout, it turns out not all the Forty Thieves were captured. Out of all of them six remained. Valerie, Bullet, Lydia, Elastica, Midget-ghost and Goliath were the only ones who managed to avoid being captured by Skulker and the other royal guards.
"Forty Thieves down to six! What are we to do?" Goliath asked with worry.
"How did they find us? How did they know the magic words?" Valerie then asked.
They all then gasped as they heard the doors beginning to open. Valerie then asked, "Another raid?"
"Not again" Lydia, Elastica and Midget-ghost all exclaimed in unison.
Bullet pulled out his weapons and said, "It is a good day to die again"
All their eyes widened when they saw entering the doors as they shut with a grin, Dan Phantom himself as he said, "Or to come back from the dead"
"Dan! You're alive? Impossible!" Bullet exclaimed.
"I'm a survivor like all of you, no thanks to Jack Fenton" Dan said with gritted teeth.
"The king! You saw him? What's he want us to do now?" Goliath asked.
"He wants you to rot in the palace dungeon" Dan answered with a lie.
"HA! The King of Thieves is loyal to the end!" Elastica exclaimed.
"You don't get it do you? He betrayed you, sold you out!" Dan exclaimed.
Valerie walked up to him with a look of disbelief as she asked, "You have always hated the king. So why should we believe you?"
"Well how do you think the guards got the magic words in the first place?" Dan asked with a grin.
"He told them the magic words?" Goliath asked in shock. Lydia then exclaimed, "I don't believe it!"
The others nodded in agreement and then Goliath shouted, "Me neither!"
"Ha! Ha! You all forgotten what life was like before Jack" Dan retorted back. The others shrugged him off and began to walk away, but Dan tried again to convince them to join him.
DAN
I remember a time
When crime was sublime
There was plenty of loot in the lair
(Dan picked up a glass gauntlet and threw it at the wall breaking it, all of them just glared at Dan's actions but still listened to what he had to say)
We'd plunder and pillage
And ransack a village
With nary a worry or care
Then along came this king
With his soft-hearted dream
But he ratted us out in the end,
(Dan gestured to a picture hanging of Jack Fenton, he then lit his hand and set it on fire. Goliath gasped as he watched the picture turn to nothing but ashes! Bullet then decided he heard enough and began throwing knives at him, but Dan just grinned and blocked the weapons with his shield)
So rally the troops!
We were meant to regroup
And return to our roots once again!
Are you in or out?
Gotta know without a doubt
I'm the one you need for a dirty deed
I'm the best, success is guaranteed
(They all tried attacking him, but he brought them all down. Valerie had tried blasting him with her ghost gun, but Dan grabbed it and broke it with his hand. Bullet then tried to attack again, but Dan grabbed him and tossed him aside. Lydia, Elastica and Midget-ghost then tried a combined attack, but Dan just blasted them all back into a tent and then ripped it opened with his strength)
Are you men or mice?
Take a slice of my advice!
You want a fearless leader, one that's strong and stout?
Better vote for me
Are you in or out?
(As they all stood up from the ground, they began to take Dan's words to heart and started believing his side of the story. They all then decided to join Dan's side and make him the new leader of their group)
VALERIE
We used to be smart, yes,
Horrendously heartless
BULLET
In ravaging raids, we were rough
LYDIA, MIDGET GHOST AND ELASTICA
We knew what we had
To be blissfully bad;
Then Jack brought this sensitive stuff!
ALL
And we strayed from the path
Of our rigorous wrath;
Now we're taking a bath in the dust!
But we'll reclaim our winnings,
Our humble beginnings,
In turmoil and torture we trust!
Are you in or out?
DAN
Double-crossers or devout?
Put your faith in me,
Pretty soon you'll see
I'm the prince of generosity
(They all began to stand beside Dan with lit torches making him the new King of Thieves, Dan smiled a wide grin that he had finally got them on his side and he could finally take his revenge on Jack Fenton once he returned)
ALL
Are you foe or friend?
DAN
Here's the path I recommend
You want a ride to fame?
I've got the fastest route;
What's it gonna be?
Are you in or out?
(They all then began preparing their weapons and everything for Jack's return, they weren't going to allow a traitor to get away with anything)
BULLET
We'll go robbing in all the right places,
LYDIA, MIDGET GHOST AND ELASTICA
From Amity dunes to Bali
VALERIE
Imagine the fear on their faces
GOLIATH
When we drop by for cookies and tea
(They all then stood beside Dan Phantom, prepared and ready for when Jack the former King of Thieves returned. Dan smiled even wider than before!)
DAN
Come along, boys!
Follow me!
ALL
Are you in or out?
DAN
If you're with me, give a shout (YAY!)
I'll lead you all the way,
Into the glory days
We'll begin a life of crime that pays
LYDIA
Are you out or in?
MIDGET GHOST
Make your choice now, sink or swim!
DAN
You can stick with me, or stay behind and pout
ALL
What's it gonna be?
Consider carefully.
Are you in or out?
