"Jigen, come on pal!"

The two scurry into a dark dusty cave below yet another brick and stone castle. After minor adjustments of a rock were they to find the secret massage way to the mysterious cave. Lupin giggles in excitement as Jigen follows inside both alert yet puzzled whilst holding a flashlight.

"Uh, what are we doing here again?"

"We're looking for the Ruby of Desire! It is said that once someone has their hands on it, anything they desire the most and least in life will be granted!"

"Where's the logic behind that!?
What if someone is afraid of death or better yet, craves it?

"Shh relax! That's why it's here, away from the wrong hands. Little do they know, they're about to fall right into mine!"

Lupin giggles to himself again before yelping to a halt. Jigen bumps into him from behind, making Lupin leap into his arms from surprise.

"YAH!"

"Woah!"

They both look down, seeing that down in dark pit was a single spotlight on a shiny ruby.

"That's it! There it is! Lets go get it" Lupin whispers.

He pulls up his sleeve partially to reveal his silver wrist watch. He points it at the ceiling and with a click of a button, shoots a hook with a string. Jigen puts Lupin down only for Lupin to pick him up instead.
Together they slowly descent from the ceiling down, down, to the ruby below.



= one long chase and fight scenes later=




Jigen and Lupin run inside their yellow Fiat 500 panting, all bruised and messy.

"Goemon, step on it!" Lupin yells.

"Very well!"
He responds back, stomping on the gas and riding off before the Interpol police could reach them.

"Luuuupiiiiiinn!!" Zenigata yells from the distance.

"You get back here Lupin!"

Lupin giggles and stands up through the sky roof of the car, waving with gloved hands.

"Au revoir Pops! Oh, and I would stand near that well if I were you."

Lupin mischievously smirks whilst sitting back down in his seat. Soon after, a loud boom can be heard behind him, with Zenigata screaming:

"LUUUUPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN."


"Hah better luck next time pops,
I got what I want."
Lupin opens the small black pouch and opens to see their shiny red ruby.

"What is it for?" Goemon asks after a glance of it in the review mirror.

"It's the Ruby of Desire.
It is said that once you hold it with your bare hands, you will get what you most and least desire. A blessing and a curse. However, I'm holding gloves! So we're safe, for now."

Lupin brings the pouch close to his chest and kicks his feet up in glee.

"Haha! We're gonna be rich! I'm gonna have all the cash and women I want, ha ha!!"

"What about the catch?" Jigen asks.
"What if you're afraid of death?"

"Any normal person would be Jigen, but we're not normal people! We must face our fears to get the best of our fortune. Are we there yet Goemon?"
