Somewhere, in another dimension, there is a card themed thief that no one is really sure of what species he comes from. He is called Spader. After studying the bank he is going to steal for an hour with his heterochromatic black and red eyes, with symbols of diamond, one red, and one black respectively, Spader smiles, and goes inside it, but first, he throws dust to verify something. There were no security lasers, but there might be a floor that sets up an alarm. So he jumps all the way to the ceiling, sticking to it like a spider, with his literally white hands that match his entire skin. Fortunately for him, it wasn't metallic, it was made of stone, but then he threw other dust to see if there were other security lasers, there were not. So he crawled all the way to the safe, jumped, and cracked the code. Spader grabbed the money and started to jump around victoriously, and threw his black top hat with a red band to the air and catched it, and put it back again to his red hair that fades into black hair.

But then a security guard saw him, pointing a gun at him. Spader gave the man a thumbs up, and then he threw a card to the guard, poisoning him. Spader then did all the same steps to get out safely, and got to a rooftop. He later checked the bag if it had money or not, Spader smiled after it, and then he started to jump from rooftop to rooftop.

Meanwhile, Synthwave was dusting off a machine that hasn't been used in a long time in the RV. Synthwave then closes his eyes and exhales.

Much later, Synthwave and Farshtey arrive in a dimension in which it has a golden floor, red buildings, and flippers and bumpers from a pinball. Synthwave then looks at a giant rock.

Synthwave: Hurm. This dimension seems like a lot of fun.

Farshtey: What is this supposed to be?

Synthwave: It's supposed to be a casino.

Farshtey: What in the sam heck is a casino?

Synthwave: It's a place where you play and... Gamble.

Farshtey: Oh! Very interesting.

Synthwave: Are you familiar with Poker?

Farshtey: Oh yes.

Synthwave: Do you want to play it?

Farshtey: I would, but I'm... Pretty terrible at it.

Synthwave: Oh, ok.

Shortly after, Synthwave sees a man with a white suit jumping to the other rooftop.

Synthwave: Farsh, we've got a thief.

Farshtey: A thief?! Alright then, time to stop him!

Synthwave: Understood, let me handle him. I'll call you if I need any help.

Farshtey: Got it.

Synthwave went inside the RV, and started to fly with it chasing Spader. Spader, without looking, noticed. Synthwave put the RV on autopilot, he planned to jump and do a diving kick on the thief, but as soon as he did the kick, Spader hitted him with the bag of money that he stole. Synthwave got up after the blow, and then he proceeded to run and tried to punch him, but Spader dodged the punch and pushed Synthwave off the rooftop, but Synthwave was quick to grab his grappling gun and get back up. He then resumed chasing Spader, Spader noticed that, and threw him a card that went directly to Synthwave's chest, thankfully it wasn't his skin. He stopped and threw another, but Synthwave dodged it, then he shot his grappling gun at him, but Spader dodged it, grabbed the rope from the grappling gun, pulled Synthwave in, and punched him. Synthwave went off the rooftop and landed on the ground.

Synthwave: Hurm... Telepathy.

Synthwave then pulled the card from his armor and saw it was an ace of spades, and on the other side it read:
