It was another ordinary day. . .well not so ordinary really, today is the day the criminal Cutthroat is being executed, a mentally unstable person who is on death row for beheading 999 people, but he not gonna die just yet, it seems someone has found out about Swindle heist, they go by Black Cat and has commission her to get Cutthroat out for, let say "a lot of money", she gonna miss this job at the Kansai Seal Office if she got caught with this identity, well not really, just an undercover job to seem like a normal person.
First thing first, how to get into the prison without raising alarm, a simple plan really, do a petty crime and get caught, the police will escort her straight to the inside without a fuss, hm but what to do indeed, it has to be small so they don't have big-time executer on her but big enough that she doesn't just get a look over and ignore when she supposedly get caught.
As she is thinking over her plan, suddenly her stomach growl, she hasn't had anything to eat for dinner yet, and as she walks, she spots a takoyaki stand, a favorite of hers.
When she was going to order, she suddenly was interrupted, a man, with deep purple hair and matching eyes, he look familiar but it's nothing to worry about, probably just someone she saw on the street, as he was paying for his takoyaki, a coin drop down, she picked it up to return it, 'have to keep up appearances even in a place like this ugh' she thinks, you don't ever know if anyone watching.
"Money off the ground brings bad luck, just keep it," he said rudely.
Well it's not like she expect anything but that did offend her a bit, people this day are so rude, and when she has to act nice too. As she orders her food, the guy drives away leaving dust in his wake.
"It will be 500¥ dear," the lady said, as Swindle take out her citizen seal to pay, the lady interrupted her "Physical money only kid" it surprise her, who in this day and age don't accept digital payment, as she looks at the coin in her hands (500¥), didn't she was trying to find a petty crime to get to prison, 'this will do' she guess, no way is she using that rude guy money.
"I can't pay physical money" she lies to the lady "It's just 500¥ anyway, it not a big deal, how about you give me this and I wouldn't make any trouble," she said a little threateningly, malice leaking into her voice. That does the trick it seems, she can hears the sound of the police siren coming, as the lady talks to the police, she is getting handcuffed and putting into the car, as if a simple handcuff can hold her long, but she can't do anything right now without sabotaging herself.
The ride to the police was silent, it's not like the police will talk to criminal, but she is getting a little bore, 'can't do anything about that tho' she sighs.
As she was being walked into the registrar, the alarm sounded, it seem someone got here before her, and that person have no tact too, just busting in like this, 'it's improvising time then' she guess, the plan won't work with other people.
As she discreetly unlocks her cuff, the guards run toward where the alarm is sounding, leaving her unattended, 'amateur' she thinks, they must be new if the first thing they do in an emergency is leaving criminal unwatched, small-time criminal she may be disguising as but a criminal just the same.
As she runs through the prison hall into the deeper level, she can hear the chaos echoing, the more she gets closer to her destination the more sounds she hears, it looks like Black cat didn't employ just her for this rescue mission.
~line break~
"AH, IT'S YOU! that rude guy I meet at the takoyaki stand!" she yells angrily. Now all eyes are on her, they don't seem to recognize her, of course they don't, she is very thorough with making her citizen identity, Black Cat was just a fluke.
The guy with the robot eye thing said "Why is a normal person here, I don't see a sentence on you in the database, you can't be someone here for Cutthroat" that seem to surprise them further, a person without even having any criminal record can't just stumbler in here on accident, if she has a sentence they will at least know she escape out because they wreck the place and from what she said it seems she knows that motorcycle guy outside from before this started.
"Why are you here? no matter, just don't get in my way, I'm going to be the one getting to Cutthroat first" the motorcycle guy said loudly, which seem to rile everyone up.
"No way! that reward belongs to me" said the woman in the lab coat, now everyone is arguing about who gonna get Cutthroat.
As Swindle stands there looking at those people bickering, 'idiot' she complaint.
[BOOM]
The wall crack in by a giant robot, it seem the executioners are here, 'l should get this wrap up' she think, as if on cue, everyone stop arguing and try to get to Cutthroat first, as she running to get to Cutthroat too she see a black cat running at the side, that reminds her of the customer, 'how dare they employ other' Swindle seeth 'i could have get him out without even rasing an alarm if it not for those people, just in and out in several hours and before you know it Cutthroat will be free without the executioners even knowing after it too late'.
It seem she can't get this payment than, as Swindle cursed her unluckyness of meeting Black Cat, an executioner run at her and slash at her with their weapon, she quickly block it with her arm, of course she doesn't get hurt, those fingerless glove aren't just for aesthetic, as she dodge and block their attack she take off her blue backpack and pull out what look to be a simple rubix cube, she throw it at the executioner and they block it with their weapon instinctively, the small toy explode out smoke, the executioner drop to the ground with a thud, dead.
Swindle can't believe she got into this mess, 'Shouldn't have got greedy for the money' she thinks 'No I could have gotten out of here if it not for those guys, it's just a simple task' she justifies to herself.
She takes out the rollerblade compact in her shoe and goes after the giant robot from behind, it seem to ignores her, probably because she doesn't have a criminal record in the database, as she gets closer to the stage of the execution, she can hear explosions ranging out, purple hair seems to be in trouble, stuck under rubble with the robot gun aiming at him.
'Well if it isn't purple annoyance, in trouble are we, I do like having favor over people I don't like tho' she thought, taking something out of her backpack, it seems to be a bottle of sugar-coated gum, opening and taking one from inside she smashes it in her hand and quickly throw it at the robot, the candy expand rapidly and sticking the robot in place.
"You gonna owe me one for that, those are not cheap to make " Swindle said as she pull at the rubble to get the guy out, he tsk at her "I can get myself out just fine, I didn't need your help", she said jokingly back "Well next time I'm just gonna let you get exploded than", "There gonna be no next time" he grumbles.
Swindle spun around to look up at the stage, there are smoke up there, it seemed someone else has gotten Cutthroat out, 'ah the stage director is yelling at us, so annoying' she complain, suddenly the guy's head got cut off, 'well I guess that makes 1000 head for Cutthroat' she muse.
Purple hair guy walks up to Cutthroat with a suitcase, 'oh so he must be Courier, the delivery' she realizes "so that's why he look familiar" she mutters out loud, as Cutthroat opens the suitcase, suddenly she felt something on her throat, a choker...made of metal, Cutthroat put one on himself too.
"What is this?" the black guy ask, "It's a bomb" Cutthroat said nonchalantly, which shocked everyone, "I didn't agree to this"Swindle yelled, "What this supposed to mean ay" the first guy yell again, "I don't know either hehe" Cutthroat laugh making everyone sputters, "I will just force it off then", 'that guy talks a lot isn't he' she thinks, ah a rando start yelling and panicking about why he have it too.
[splurge]
Oh, Cutthroat must have activate the bomb on him, a fountain of blood splattered out from where his head was just a moment ago, Swindle blames herself for not thinking Black Cat are unlucky, if she was a little superstitious she probably won't be here in this stupid mess, as if it not already enough, that black cat from before meow out a loud sound surprising everyone, it seem to wait for everyone to pay attention to it, as it look around, eyes narrowing, "It seem everyone is here" the cat somehow speak.
