Phantom Thief Origin
Phantom Thief Manor - Study
Omen and Woodward both look at the painting of what was ripped up. There has been a tear on what was standing between Silvia and Vassel. Omen asks Woodward "so who is this person? And why does Silvia have any issues toward this guy?" he looks at the shredded up painting, wondering about the whole thing. Woodward, being the calm one out of the rest of the group, explains to Omen who he is. "This person you see standing" Woodward pauses for a moment, he trembles for a bit and finally spits out, "is our original leader of the group." Omen is shocked to hear that there was a different leader of the group. Woodward continues "His name is Gaston, he is the Pink Phantom Thief Leader of the group" he says to him. Omen is surprised, he always thought Silvia was the leader of the group. He asks Woodward "so how was he dead to you all? How did he even betray you? Why does Silvia have a hate towards him?" he asks curiously.
Woodward explains to him "it all started when Silvia was in jail. We all met there in a different town…."
A Flashback Begins
Rusty Town - Jail
Inside of the jail, there is a man in a clear white coat playing his harmonica, he plays the music to spare some time. Sitting in the corner are two other men that are locked up in the jail, they listen in on the sound of the music. He keeps playing the tune until he is interrupted by the sounds of a person grunting.
A guy with a huge anger problem is seen resisting arrest, he pushes away one cop, while another tries to restrain him. The aggressive man keeps pushing away the cops, more and more cops try to hold him down, but they continue to get knocked down. As the cops try to hold down the raging man, the sheriff gets up, grabs an object, swings it at the man, and knocks him out. The raging man takes a hit by the glass bottle, the man is knocked out cold. The cops throw the passed out man in the cage and lock him up.
After the whole chaotic scene, the man in the white coat resumes playing his harmonica, he keeps playing for hours and hours until the man wakes up. The man, who finally gains consciousness, screams in rage "will you stop playing that!" he is about to go over and attack him, but a man in brown stops him "you best leave him alone there" he says to the raging man. The raging man growls "and why? I'll kill him!" he says to the man in brown. A slightly buff man in pink stands up from the bench, he says to the raging man "or you'll have a deal with Ol' Gaston over here!" he throws his cowboy hat on the ground, cracking his knuckles. The aggressive man starts to attack, but Gaston punches the man. The aggressive man tries to claw him like a cheetah, but Gaston throws some punches, knocking the man down. The man in brown goes down to him "be careful messing with Gaston" he says to him. Gaston nods his head "thank ya Silvia. You are a great partner in crime." Silvia sits down, "yea, but now we gotta do the time!" he says to Gaston. Gaston says to the man in the white coat "keep playing that song" he pauses, and asks "whats yur name?" he asks him. The man in the white coat responds "Woodward. Sir Woodward." Gaston smirks "might as well call ya professor. Cause of you making that gastly poison in the bar the other day" he says to him. Woodward is shocked "how'd yu find out? I was only in jail for two days?" he asks him. Gaston responds "I overhear things. Silvia and I may be here for long, but we might as well make the most of it!" he says to him.
Silvia shushes the two, he picks up a can with a string on it, he says to them "I got something on the newbie!" He listens in on the sheriffs talk.
The Sheriff and the cops discuss about their captured criminal "we finally got him" the cop says to the sheriff. The Sheriff responds "good, we wanted to arrest the Psychopathic Vassel! He's been a wanted criminal throughout every town!" Gaston looks at the unconscious Vassel lying on the ground. He continues to listen in. "Vassel has been killing and attacking the citizens since he was a child. This man is unable to act right!" the other cop says to the Sheriff. The Sheriff responds "We'll have to electrocute him! That's the only option! We can't have psychos roaming the ranges. He'll be killed alright" he says to the other two cops in the room. Silvia is thrilled, he has never seen an electrocution happen in his life. Gaston comes up with an idea, "we'll have an electrocution alright." he looks at the unconscious Vassel "but, it'll be a doozy" he says to the group.
Nighttime
The cops take away Vassel in restraints, he is tied up in chains, and wears a mask to cover his mouth. While the cops are restraining the violent being, a mysterious figure sneaks outside of the cage.
Rusty Town - Jail - Sheriff's Office
While the Sheriff is leaning back in his chair, thinking about how he loves his job, despite how boring it is. All of a sudden, he gets a woman walking into the office. The sheriff looks to see that she is barely dressed, only covered up in a red velvet cloth, barely covering her parts. The Sheriff is aroused by her, "I thought the stripper was supposed to come the next two days? But I'm liking the sound of this" he says, feeling hypnotized by her sexy body. The stripper shakes her hips, showing some legs, she gets on top of the desk on all fours and shows off her titty cleavage. The Sheriff is turned on by the stripper, she feels him up. The stripper is about to undress herself, she unties the string on her back, she holds the cloth covering her nipples, almost showing her boobs. The sheriff is licking his lips seductively, feeling turned on by the whole thing. All of a sudden, his throat is cut. The Sheriff bleeds out from neck. Coming out from behind the chair is Gaston. He chuckles at the Stripper "well done Rave!" he says with a smile. Rave smiles at Gaston "a well days work master!" she says in a seductive tone to him. Rave feels up Gaston in the process. Gaston smiles at her, he smacks her ass to thank her for her duty.
Meanwhile…
Rusty Town - Jail
While the cops get ready to electrocute Vassel, Silvia lunges towards the guards. Silvia may be outnumbered, but he is a good distraction for Woodward to take Vassel out of his restraints. Woodward sprays the guards, they are hit with something peppery. The guards scream in pain. Woodward says to the group "someday, this will be an invention used for an everyday life!" he smiles at the bottle of his very own pepper spray. Vassel gets up and snaps one of the guards on the neck. He then stabs another guard with a blade. Woodward and Silvia both kill the rest of the guards. Gaston steals a sack from the confiscated room, he looks inside to see a few masquerade robes.
Rusty Town - Jail - Outside
The five escaped criminals run out of the door, they all nod to each other. Rave says to Gaston "everything is all set!" Gaston smiles at her "good girl" he says, patting her on the head. Gaston lights up a match, he drops it on the rope. The rope burns and burns all the way to the back of the county jail. Behind the jail is a load of Dynamite. The five criminals run away from the jail. The building blows up into millions of pieces.
Desert
The five criminals ride their horses through the desert. They celebrate their victory. Gaston puts on his pink feathery mask and yells "This is the Start of The Phantom Thieves!" he yells in victory! All of the Phantoms cheer, feeling victorious.
Flash Forward
Stone Canyon
It has been two years since the escape from prison, Rusty Town has been robbed and shot up by the Phantom Thieves. They've gone through other towns stealing from the people and killing them in the process. They've obtained their signature weapons, gold, jewelry, whiskey, etc. They have all become wanted criminals.
The Phantoms escape to the old town of Stone Canyon. They shoot a bunch of people, trying to chase them. They wear their masks roaring with pride. Woodward throws some balls at the citizens, the balls explode, poisonous gas pops out and kills half of the citizens. "Damn! Not strong enough!" said Woodward, beating himself up over it. Vassel continues to shoot all of the remaining citizens trying to chase them, including the horses. He laughs hysterically, enjoying the suffering of people and animals. Gaston smiles, he is proud to have gotten two new people on his crew. Silvia asks Gaston "are you sure about Vassel?" he looks at Vassel snapping off the arms of the townsfolk, screaming in pain "I can understand Woodward, but Vassel?" he asks his leader in confusion. Gaston smirks "of course, a smart guy like Woodward is good for our travels. And Vassel isn't scared to lay a finger on anything that's living" he says to Silvia. Rave snuggles up to Gaston, she is thankful to be useful for something other than being held captive as a sex slave.
Desert
The Five Thieves camp out for the night, they are away from civilization. Silvia asks his leader "So where to?" Woodward responds "according to this map, not faraway is a town called Angel Grove." Gaston smirks "next stop! Angel Grove!" he says to his crew.
Angel Grove
A few carriages come into the town, new people have arrived to come live in Angel Grove. New houses, new businesses, and school houses are getting built. The town of Angel Grove is growing with a new population. Coming into the town are the Phantom Thieves, only without their masks on their faces. They come in disguised as regular people. Rave looks up at the hill, she notices a brand new land up on top, she says to her leader "oh we should build a house up there!" Woodward looks at all of the money they have, "by my calculations, we may have enough dough to build a manor up there." Rave gets excited "oh lets do it!" she says. Gaston tells Rave to relax "We may have enough, but we can't just let ourselves be greedy!" he says to her. Vassel gets aggravated "why? We can do whatever!" Gaston says to the group "we gotta lay low. People will get suspicious of us. We're wanted people-" Silvia interrupts "only when we put our masks on" he says. Gaston silences Silvia "by how we are in the night!" He then says to the group "lay low and keep ourselves out of trouble. We can find more gold and use it to our advantage." Woodward explains to the group "what he means is by spying. Look around and learn about the secrets of this town. Then we can do whatever we want here. Besides, we have new people. We can just blame it on them once we get settled." Gaston nods "exactly! Other towns are looking for us and we almost got caught by another town. Lay low and learn about this Angel Grave." Woodward corrects Gaston "it's pronounced 'Grove' not Grave."
A few months go by, the group learns all about the town. They even learn about the White Stranger who lurks near the neighboring towns. Gaston is glad he got to lay low, otherwise he and his group would've been caught already. Vassel is unable to stay patient, he needs something to take his rage out on. He wants to attack the White Stranger, but Silvia tries to restrain him. Woodward observes the finances of the town along with the business of the area. Rave does however manage to mug a few people with her flirty tone and using her body, along with the help of Gaston. Trying not to get the attention of the White Stranger.
Outside of Angel Grove
In the open land of the desert and nothing but the desert. Vassel finishes chopping and slicing the two outlaws of Angel Grove. He kills the two with rage, not letting them go or live with mercy. Lying dead on the ground are some of the remains of One-Eyed Bulk and Doc Skullovitch. Their chopped and sliced bodies have a lot of stab marks and cuts all over them. Vassel laughs cheerfully, he needed that rush. Silvia nods "these two almost discovered who we are!" he says to Vassel. Vassel laughs like a hyena "oh that feels so good!" he says to himself, his voice squeaking a little with excitement. Rave is wondering why they let this guy join them. "Thank god you used your sexy body to help lure these men into our carriage" said Gaston. Woodward agrees "yes, otherwise we would've been discovered so quickly. Rave nods "I knew these two looked familiar. They used to come to the shack every week to make love to some of the women. A few of them left pregnant" she says to the group. "All we gotta do is take care of that White Stranger" said Gaston. Woodward smiles "I thought you would say that" he says to his leader. Gaston turns his head towards Woodward "what do you mean?" he asks. Woodward explains "I found his hideout. While some thieves were distracting him. I used an underground tunnel to discover where he lived." Gaston gets interested "give me the details!" he says with excitement.
Manor - Basement
As days go by, the group opens up the secret passage to the cellar of a huge manor. They look around the basement to see some pictures of a man dressed in all white with a green ring around his hat. The group is surprised to notice the whole mansion is owned by the White Stranger.
Manor - Living Room
Woodward escorts the group to the living room, lying down in the middle of the ground is the dead body of The White Stranger. The group is shocked to notice this. Rave wishes she could've had a little time with him. Woodward explains to the group "it was pretty easy, once I poisoned some of the food and drinks, the man came falling. The man is weakened by the taste of whisky. Once the White Stranger took a gulp, he fell on the ground." Woodward feels very proud of himself that he took out the hero in one try. Vassel gives Woodward a hard time about this, he wanted to kill the man himself. But Gaston settles him down, they take over the manor and use it as their own. They claim it as The Phantom Thief Manor!
Two Years go by…
Angel Grove
The town has been falling apart since the death of the White Stranger. The citizens are all confused, wondering where this man has disappeared too. They thought that One-Eyed Bulk and Doc Skullovitch were bad, these people were worse. Places have been robbed, people have died, it is pretty chaotic. The Phantom Thieves disappear into the moonlight. They come out during the dark to rob others and take what is theirs. Only leaving behind the cries and sorrows of the citizens.
Angel Grove Town Hall
The citizens all complain about the robberies that have happened in the middle of the dark. They explain about upgrading their security system by hiring more policemen. The people continue to complain, they ask about what to do with the Phantom Thieves.
While the citizens complain, a lady in pink gets up from the back of the room to leave. She plays with her ponytail a bit, she smirks at the wanted poster. "Well well, looks like we got a little competition going on" she says to the poster, looking at all the people in the picture, wearing their masks. She even gets a good look at their leader, who also happens to be wearing pink as well.
Phantom Thief Manor - Living Room
The group relaxes in the living room celebrating their heist. They have a few bottles of Whisky to celebrate their jobs well done. Gaston and Silvia both clink their bottles together. Vassel relaxes, "I love me some whisky" he says, he then starts to chug the entire bottle. After chugging the bottle, he says "it makes me feel better." Woodward drinks his whisky from a small glass. He feels much better being freed from jail, he just wonders what he could do to help come up with a backup plan. Silvia notices Woodward being worried, he sits next to him, wondering what is wrong "you okay there?" he asks him. Woodward asks Silvia "what if these people discover who we are and where we are located? You think maybe we could come up with a backup plan?" Silvia laughs "you need to relax! You can't be worried all of a sudden. There's a lot we can do to spend our riches. We could buy anything we want!" he says to him. Woodward asks Silvia "then how about we buy the sheriff's department?" Silvia laughs "fuck them! We could be our own sheriffs!" he says to him. Gaston listens in on the two, he comes up with an idea.
Angel Grove - O'Hara Manor
It is the middle of the night, the Phantoms get ready to steal from a very rich lady. They sneak around the manor to make sure that the coast is clear. This is the manor of Fuschia O-Hara, she has lived in Angel Grove since the year 1880. The Phantoms know how loaded she is. But they wanna steal one thing only, that is very valuable in that mansion. They go inside of the building.
O'Hara Manor - Foyer
Gaston directs the Phantoms where to go inside of the building. Vassel checks the cellar, Woodward goes through the kitchen to drop some poisons inside of the drinks, Rave checks through the wardrobes to steal any good clothing for herself, Silvia goes through the files of Fuschia O'Hara to find any more information about her treasures. Gaston goes inside of the storage room to find the jewelry to steal.
O'Hara Manor - Bedroom
Gaston goes inside of the bedroom, he sneaks around making sure that nobody is awake. He sees the silhouette of Fuschia O'Hara sleeping peacefully. He notices that the door to the safe is open slightly, he doesn't think twice and goes inside of the secret room.
O'Hara Manor - Safe
Gaston pushes the door open and goes inside of the secret room, there are a lot of golden coins and precious jewels scattered all over the place. But that is not what Gaston is looking for, he looks for a precious magenta diamond, a rare piece of jewelry. It is somewhere in the back of the room. Gaston tries to find it, but it is nowhere to be found. He looks at a podium that holds the diamond, but it is empty. Gaston is confused, he knows that it is somewhere in the room. He even got Woodward to steal some blueprints of the manor to study the place. "How? Where is this thing?" he asks himself. Gaston hears a little movement, he listens in on the sound. Before the person heads over towards the door, Gaston looks to his right, he takes out his whip and it grabs the persons arm. The whip retracts, along with the person it is holding on too, towards him. That person turns out to be a girl. The girl is dressed up in a pink stretch bodysuit, she has a mask a little similar to Gastons, along with a long blonde ponytail. Gaston is shocked to see this girl "w-who are you?" he asks her. The girl smirks "why, I'm your competition. She takes out her twin sais and stabs Gaston in the thigh with one of it. Gaston loses his grip, freeing the lady. She says to him "call me the Rose Bandit!" The Rose Bandit kicks Gaston right in the chin, she escapes from the manor. She tries to lock him in the safe, but Gaston uses his whip to hold the door open to free himself.
Gaston yanks the safe door open with force!
O'Hara Manor - Bedroom
Gaston tries to chase The Rose Bandit, but she is gone like the wind. He is impressed with how deep of a sleeper Fuschia O'Hara is. He sneaks close to her to see how deep of a sleeper she is. However, he notices her skin being pale. He checks for breathing, there is no hot breath coming from her nose. Gaston checks her forehead, it is cold. The whole body is cold and pale, her lips are a bluish violet color. Fuschia O'Hara is dead.
Silvia hustles into the room, he takes off the ropes that restrained his wrists. He speaks to Gaston feeling out of breath "Sir, we've just encountered someon-" Gaston stops Silvia, "Silvia, she's dead!" he says to him. Silvias eyelids open hard, he realizes that he and the group were going to be blamed for the death of Fuschia. They hear the sounds of a baby crying, coming from the other room. Rave hustles upstairs "I've lost her!" she yells out. Silvia silences her "we know!" he yells out loud. Gaston controls the group "quick, we gotta get out of here! Round up the rest of the group!" he calls out to the two. Rave and Silvia nod to each other, they hustle downstairs to gather Woodward and Vassel.
Gaston goes over to the window, he looks outside. He says to the open land "where are you, Rose? Where are you, Rose Bandit?" He looks all over the town, wondering if there is any trace of her.
Angel Grove - Town
It is the middle of the night, still dark outside. The bright moon shines on the thief. The Rose Bandit stands in the middle of the town, she giggles to herself. "That's my kind of competition!" she says to herself. The Bandit jumps on top of a roof, making no sound, she jumps from roof to roof, hustling over to a house with her stolen goods.
A man on a horse notices a thief jumping from roof to roof. He tries to chase her down, but he loses her. He then tells his partner to send a few patrolmen all over town. A few other cops get on their horses and ride all over the town of Angel Grove to find the Phantom Thieves.
Meanwhile….
O'Hara Manor
The Phantoms hustle outside of the house, ignoring the sounds of the crying baby. As they make it out of the door, they see a policeman doing his patrols. He notices them and whistles for the Thieves to stop. Vassel shoots the cop right in the forehead. "Bullseye!" Vassel says very proudly, he then shoots by the feet of the horse, scaring it away. The policeman's horse runs off away from the manor. The Phantom Thieves run off into the darkness, avoiding the police at all costs.
One tries to lasso one of the Phantoms, but Silvia shoots the cop. The Phantom Thieves were a little close on getting caught by the cops.
Angel Grove City Hall
A few weeks go by since the arrival of the Rose Bandit. The Phantom Thieves and The Rose Bandit are rivaling each other by stealing. It has caused a lot of problems for the town.
Ever since the Mayor announced about Fuschia O'Haras death, the townsfolk are disgusted, thinking that the Phantom Thieves killed her and left that poor baby to suffer. The townsfolk bicker about the whole incident.
Sitting in the back of the audience, a lady with a blonde ponytail gets up from her seat and whistles to the whole hall, grabbing their attention. The entire town looks at her, wondering what she wants? The blonde lady says to the town "we could track them down, give them a taste of their own medicine. They could come and kill the Rose Bandit along with the entire town. We should hunt the Phantoms first before anything else happens!" The townsfolk agree with her option, and they get ready to hunt down the Phantom Thieves.
While the townsfolk discuss the upcoming plan to kill the Phantoms, the lady walks out of city hall. While heading out of the doors, she smirks evilly and goes over to her house.
Blonde Ladys House
The Blonde Lady walks in, she plays with her ponytail, feeling nervous that she might be discovered. She sees that the inside of her house has been vandalised. The blonde lady gasps in horror, wondering who did all of this?
She looks up to see a man in a pink masquerade mask, sitting on the balcony on the second floor. The man smirks at her, it is Gaston all dressed up in his pink uniform. "You really oughta cover your tracks" Gaston says to her. The Lady smirks, "I'm impressed. You seemed to find me very well" she says to him. Gaston jumps down from the balcony and hands her a rose "thought I would try to copy you. Seems that we both have our own missions to take over the town" he says to her. The Rose Bandit smiles "I like your cunning attitude. Are you going to capture me and throw me off of a cliff?" she asks him. Gaston takes out his whip and wraps it around her, restraining her arms to her waist. He pulls her over to him "maybe I wanna dance and learn from the bandit herself" Gaston says to her. The Rose Bandit blushes, she starts to get a little nervous. Gaston smirks "guess my suit and your suit aren't the only ones that are pink" he says with a flirtatious tone. The Rose Bandit trembles "maybe you could do it with me, with and without the mask on" she says seductively.
Rose Bandits House - Bedroom
Hours go by, both Gaston and the Rose Bandit are under the covers cuddling. They just finished making love to each other. Gaston hangs up his mask on the railing of the bed. "My name is Lizzie by the way. Lizzie McCracken" she says to Gaston. Gaston smiles "Gaston, just Gaston" he says to her. Lizzie smiles "ooh, no last name. Such a baddie" she says to him. Gaston gazes up at the ceiling "it's not much. Just no parents to raise me and having to live for myself. It's been a hard life for me. But I survived" he says to her. Lizzie asks Gaston a curious question "do you ever wanna start a family? Raise kids? Or get away from all of the troubles here in Angel Grove?" she asks him. Gaston scuffs "no! I like making people suffer. It makes me feel like I can actually try and make myself feel better." Lizzie turns around, Gaston notices her facing the wall. Gaston asks her "what the hell did I say?" Lizzie stares out of the window, gazing at the open land.
Lizzie looks outside, imagining her life being meaningless, how it feels so empty. She explains about how she feels like she has nobody in her life, even when stealing peoples supplies and taking over the house that was someone she took care of before passing away. She feels that she has an open hole of loneliness that needs to be filled. Filled with things that need to be stolen.
Gaston stands up, he thinks about what Lizzie has said, he remembers being an orphan his entire life. While young, he met Silvia, who has helped him get through all of his loneliness as a child all the way to his adult life. Lizzie asks Gaston "do you think maybe?" Gaston looks over at her, wondering what Lizzie is going to ask him.
Cut to the Manor
Phantom Thief Manor - Living Room
A couple of days have gone by since the whole racket at city hall. Silvia was sent to spy on the whole meeting and has heard about what the blonde lady has said about them.
Vassel chucks the empty bottle of whisky to the wall, the glass shatters into millions of pieces. Woodward glares at Vassel "seriously?" he asks him, feeling annoyed. Vassel responds "we can just steal another case!" he says in his drunken haze. Woodward responds "we gotta keep it low! We already have someone trying to frame us!" Vassel stands up, his legs feel like spaghetti after being taken out of boiling water, "That Rose Bandit will have it coming! She'll love it when I rub my blade across her throat!" He makes a throat cutting gesture after saying this, showing how much he wants to kill her for almost getting the group caught.
Rave walks into the house, she tosses the bags of coins onto the table. "You're welcome!" she says to the group. Vassel asks her "you didn't invite me!?" he yells in rage. Rave says to him "you would've just blown my cover by killing these people. I had to use myself to seduce these horndogs" she says to him. Woodward smirks "and just enough to store in the safe, and for our own goodies!" he says to the group. Vassel gets angry "we need more whisky!" he yells out. Woodward gets aggravated, "we need you to be sober!" Vassel growls "I can kill people in my drunken rage!" he shouts, slamming his fist to the wall.
Before the room gets too heated with the argument, Silvia steps downstairs, he looks around in confusion "Where is Gaston?" he asks the group. The entire group looks around in confusion, they have no idea where Gaston could be?
The front doors open, Gaston comes inside of the house. He asks Woodward "you think we should tell them?" he asks while pointing to the rest of the group. Silvia looks at his leader in confusion. "Tell us about what? What is this?" Silvia asks Gaston.
Cut to Dusk Bay
Dusk Bay Cavern
The group steps inside of the cavern, it is filled with the rest of goodies that were stolen for the past few years. Silvia looks around, he is shocked to have found out about this secret "this? This is what you've been hiding?" he asks his leader. Gaston nods "Woodward and I thought this would be a good idea to have backup. In case things get heated in the town" he says to the group. Woodward smirks "it took a long time to build these sealed walls, but we managed to keep this cavern hidden from anyone who tries to invade this place" he says to him. Gaston smiles "it's what we can do for the time being. We can have everything that will be stored here forever! Only we know about this place!" he says to the group. Rave smiles, she runs over to hug Gaston really tight. Gaston smiles at her, he then thinks about what Lizzie has asked him. He lets Rave off of him and walks around the cavern, he sits on a chair, thinking about the question she has asked him in the bedroom. Rave notices this, she wants to know what is wrong with Gaston?
Angel Grove
It is nighttime, Gaston, out of his pink uniform, walks down the street. He goes over to the Angel Grove Pub. Rave, in her Red Velvet Uniform, sneaks on top of the buildings spying on her leader.
Gaston goes over to Lizzie, they both hold hands gazing into each other's eyes. "I'm glad you showed up" Lizzie says to him. Gaston smiles "I have the whole thing planned. We can do this together, but make it obvious it aint us calling them out!" he says to her. Both of them kiss each other under the moonlight.
Rave, who is hiding from behind the chimney, is shocked to see Gaston kissing another girl. She feels betrayed, tears start to come out of her eyes. Rave thought she found 'the one', but after looking at Gaston, she feels heartbroken. She runs away without making a sound, she runs with tears streaming from her eyelids, feeling betrayed.
Gaston and Lizzie both embrace each other, they smile about the whole idea.
Phantom Thief Manor - Ballroom
Rave dances around, pretending that she is with Gaston. He has been missing for a few days. Silvia is confused, he is wondering about the whereabouts, he walks into the ballroom to find Rave dancing with nobody. Rave is spooked, she stops dancing feeling a little embarrassed. Silvia asks Rave "have you seen Gaston? He's been missing for a few days." Rave sits down, feeling sad "no. I hadn't seen him in a while…" she says, feeling depressed. Silvia gets frustrated "dammit! Mission, Rob the Cafe Safe is gonna be hard without our leader!" he says, feeling aggravated. Rave asks Silvia "why not just rob the place? We've done some of these without him before!" Silvia responds "because we've laid low for days. But they might come and find us! Spy on us! Take our cover away!" Woodward walks into the room "I say we do it anyway!" he says to Silvia. Silvia asks Woodward "are you sure?" Woodward responds "yes, you are the second in command. If anything happens to Gaston. You're the one who should be taking charge!" Silvia realizes that Gaston is right, "okay then. We'll rob them! But we'll find a day to do this! We can't let them know we're going to rob them by tonight!" he thinks for a moment, the first thing that comes into mind is "we'll rob em next week on thursday!" he says. Woodward writes this down on his schedule "all written down! We'll rob them before 11. Everyone's either sleeping or drunk at the bar that night!" he says to Silvia.
Unaware of their presence is a man hiding behind the door. It is Gaston listening in on the whole plan. Gaston hustles out of the place and runs.
Desert
It is Thursday night, the plan of robbing the cafe has gone wrong. The Phantoms know that they are goners, so they hide inside of the cave. But they are unaware of the townsfolk getting together to take out the Phantom Thieves. They are chased down through the outskirts of Angel Grove, by an angry mob. Vassel kills two of the townspeople, but one of them shoots him in the spine, while the other tosses a barrel, hitting him on the head, knocking him unconscious.
Dusk Bay
The Four Remaining Thieves hustle into the cave. They shut the entrance, sealing themselves into the cavern. Woodward asks the group "Who do you think ratted us out?" he says, feeling puzzled. Silvia drags the paralyzed Vassel into the cavern, tossing the psycho killer onto the table. "I know who!" Silvia says with hate in his eyes. Rave is in tears, she is shocked to find out about the whole thing. She is sure that she and Gaston would be together until the very end.
A rock falls down, it crushes Woodward. Silvia panics, he then realizes that the townsfolk are coming close to the top of the cave. Woodward, under his last breath, coughs, he points up in the air and yells "watch out!" the Phantoms all look up at a shining light, it comes through the hole getting brighter and brighter. The light turns into a large fireball attached to a chain, it falls down through the hole of the cave, causing the place to burn up. Rave is covered in flames, screaming in pain. Silvia panics, he can do nothing but watch Woodward get crushed, Vassel unable to move, and Rave covered up in flames. He then sees a few sticks of dynamite fly into the hole. Silvia gasps in horror.
FLASH OUT TO WHITE
Phantom Thief Manor - Ballroom
Omen is shocked to know about Gaston. He then asks Woodward "so Gaston ratted you out and killed you all?" Woodward nods "yes, he did all of that to get rid of us for his own life."
He then sits down on the couch, feeling sad about all of this. Woodward explains "when we were robbing Caplan's Cafe, someone told us about the place. That was when a few undercover cops came out and tried to chase us down." He then looks at the fireplace "but somehow, they knew where to look, and it wasn't our manor they went to check out." he says to Omen. Omen nods, "we hope to get more info about this? We gotta find more on your traitor!" he says. Woodward finds out from the fireplace about an update. The fire bursts up in the air, glowing in a powerful orangey flame.
