The birds were chirping and the sky was a pretty blue. The day was just like any other in the city of Ultimatum. And just like any other day, death stained the streets. The police force was always working on trying to find the culprit, but the more bodies found the more difficult the case proved to be. At first, they thought it was a serial killer. But they were beginning to doubt that theory. The police force was getting bombarded with questions like "Why haven't you caught them yet" or "Are we safe in Ultimatum" or "Are they paying you to keep quiet". More and more questions like that were hindering the police's ability to investigate.

Lucina, the police chief, gathered the highest grade detectives to form a Strike Force of sorts. This team was the best of the best when it came to detective work. The Strike Force consisted of Lucas, Ness, Ninten, Claus, Joker, Cloud, Samus, and ROB. They were amazingly talented. Lucina crossed her arms. "Alright team. The recent string of deaths is really stirring the public. I need you guys to help find the killer or killers," Lucina said.

"You just want to save your own ass," Claus said. He wanted to figure out the killer, but he knew this wasn't all about that.

"We can't help the public if the public hates us."

"Come on. Does it matter her reasoning? She wants us to find the culprits," Lucas said, lightly smacking Claus's shoulder. Claus huffed, but he understood. He just didn't like to be used. He needed Lucas's optimism to balance him out.

"Thank you for understanding, Lucas."

"Of course." Lucas's smile was intoxicating, especially for his secret boy-toy, Ness. They were a thing for a while now. They fell in love on their first mission together, which was to find a serial killer who would inject his victims with air until their bodies popped. A gruesome death and killer solved by the two lovebirds. They have been amazing partners since.

"What do we know about the culprit already?" Joker asked.

"Not much. All we know is that every victim's death was posed to look like suicide."

"How do you know it's not just that?" Samus asked.

"Because there was footage. Allow me to show you." The large whiteboard behind her also doubled as a screen. So it turned into the paused video of a rooftop. Lucina unpaused the video. It was nighttime. The roof of the building was empty. Empty until a person, looking like a young male, walked into view of the camera. The boy stepped onto the side of the building. That was when he froze. But it wasn't from fear. It wasn't from anything. The boy just stopped moving but still kept up his balance. The boy was joined by a hooded figure. The hooded figure looked directly into the camera, but their face remained hidden. However, that was when a small noise suddenly sounded. It didn't sound like anything outside of some wind or just a glitch in the camera. But soon after that, the boy was pushed. Lucina paused the video soon after the boy got pushed. "There's footage of this hooded figure for every death in the past month. One a day. Every time, he or she looks into the camera before enacting said crime."

"Ma'am..." ROB started. Lucina looked at him. "May I see the flash drive that has the video?"

"Uh, sure, I guess." Lucina tampered with some things before she could grab the flash drive. She gave it to the robot. ROB then injected it into him causing his eyes to flash color after color.

"What is he doing?" Ness asked, sort of in awe of the robot."

"I'm assuming he's analyzing the drive," Joker suggested. ROB's eyes stopped changing color.
