𝗣rior to the Assignment Reven tasked them, they had been completely slacking off.
Axel Robbins had made his way to the arcade machines, where he'd notice someone playing a game of “Shoot the Snake!” (a 2D game to where a cowboy has to fight a snake) and another person playing a romantic game called Lusty Linda (a interactive pixel game where a woman in a purple dress is flirting with you, some people have called the game traumatizing).
Axel had a few quarters on him, so he said to himself, “Screw it” and entered the alley of arcade machines, with kids his age playing on them, only concentrating on the machine itself.
He searched through aisles of arcade machines, not finding a interest in one until one caught his eye.
The Game was called Shark Shrine (a 3D shooting game where a gigantic shark has attacked a Shrine, and is diving out of the sea to bite the local humans), he noticed that the arcade machine was a bit bigger than the others, and you had to climb in into the car like room, where there would be two seats, and two guns, with two handles on each side of the weapons.
Axel peeked inside and saw that no one was playing, so he climbed in and took out a few coins, but then noticed there was no slot to put them in, and the screen was saying: ᴘʀᴇss sᴛᴀʀᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴘʟᴀʏ!
“Uh, okay,” he said, as he pressed the big red start button that was glowing, and then level one was ready to start.
Axel had a determined look.

Harry Mazioto a.k.a Ghost was looking through the casino, with his hands in his pockets as the hands were shaking around, having the urge to play an arcade game as his hood fell down, revealing his long cyan hair.
He was mainly silent, keeping things to himself as he saw the massive atrium, with balconies aside as he catched sight of grown men in tuxedos walking around with their *presumably* wives.
“Well,” he said to himself, as he let out a chuckle. “this can't be the worst thing to happen.”
He walked around for a little longer, now getting into the adults section as he saw Casino games, with people throwing dices and throwing darts at a few dartboards.
He still had his hands in his pockets as they seemed more relax now, watching as a few people blowed the dice which was shielded by a fist, before throwing it onto the board.
And then he took a glance at the people serving the plants, and then he thought to himself, as he looked at the remaining plant in his hand.
Even if these things taste good, he looked up, as he saw the balconies. I'll never trust them.

He then walked off in a hurry, as he pushed the doors open, making his way to another portion of the casino as he caught sight of the car the group saw at the beginning, with the sign: ᴡɪɴ ᴛʜɪs ᴄᴀʀ ᴡɪᴛʜ 3 ʀᴏʟʟs!!!
He stared at the car, before he thought: Of course, the car! If that car really works — and I find the others.. I can use that car just incase this whole shabang turns out to be some scheme scandal.
It's a chance, but it won't be easy. There's too much people around!
He looked at the balconies above, with the Apartment Doors behind. I can wait, but then we won't have much time. Reven expects us back soon.

He started thinking to himself, tapping his head with his fingers as he finally thought of it.
I can turn into a Ghost, yes! No one will notice me. They will not catch sight of me, this is perfect!
He looked at the car, as he now started sweating. Just watch me, you can't stop me. You can't touch me!
With a smile on his face, he silently said, “Peribit” as his body now turned into a Ghost, with him slowly approaching the luxurious car, jumping onto the wheel as he was relieved it didn't make a single sound, slowly grabbing the handle on the car door.
He couldn't stop now.

18 is soon!
