Wakfu: Aeri The Eliatrope

Chapter 10: The Heist

Sneaking to Bonta's most secured museum was no easy task, gladly, Aeri had more ways than one to get a group of Seven in. Any more than that would attract unwanted attention. There was Lighting Fist himself, Storm Cloud and Thunder, Shiro and Aeri as well as Lightning Bolt and Storm. The rest of the group had done some light reconnaissance about the surroundings. They would need to create a distraction if they wanted an opening and past the guards. So with everything she got, Aeri took a deep breath, and screamed: ;"SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! THEY'RE GETTING AWAY! PLEASE!" She teleported from spot to spot confusing the guards enough for them to take a few minutes checking where the source of the sound was coming. With that the rest of the group sneaked in, Shiro melting the lock lightly on the front. Aeri regrouped with them soon after. ;"You sure have pipes kid." The Ecaflip complimented, She gave him a toothy grin as a response. 

Now Inside, they would need to be on their toes to avoid all and any security measures there may be. Rumor was that the most greedy, and paranoid Enutrof's had helped creating most of the museums security. Meaning, it'd be extremely hard to stop the alarms if they went off. The GOOD thing about this. If the old men went THIS FAR protecting something, it would definitely be of great value. This made the Rogues feel giddy inside like kids on Kwismas. So much to steal, so little time. They kept to the walls avoiding the center of the room. Some of the tiles on the ground were slightly elevated. The Lightning Storm took a kama coin out of his pocket, throwing it on one of the tiles, as a spear appeared quickly, stabbing through the coin like hot butter. ;"Okay, so that's a no go..." Fist quietly said. Aeri pondered about teleporting everyone from room to room, but that'd take way too much power from her side. Shiro couldn't change into his dragon form without stepping on the wrong tiles either. Lightning Bolt looked up to the ceiling there was a stone roof pillar up above. ;"We can use that. Watch closely now kid. We're going to show what us Rogues can do." She said to Aeri, latter giving a deep sigh. ;"I'm actually not a-" She tried to argue when the woman Rogue grabbed her from the waist and used a grappling hook to get up on top of the pillar. Aeri gave a silent scream as they quickly ascended, the rest of the group following in suit. They then balanced their way to the next room, where their objective was. There laid the many, MANY gemstones of Bonta on velvety pillows under the glass containers, breaking the glass would be easy, but getting out with the alarms ringing would be tricky. They COULD break through the Windows but who's to say there wouldn't be an army of Feca's out front waiting? They were known protectors. ;"Give me the sack, I can probably steal all the stuff for you." Aeri said, Shiro glaring daggers at his sister. ;"You sure kid? This is the BIG leagues. If you get caught or send off the alarms we won't come to help you. You're on your own, and we never even met." She nodded ;"I know. I won't mess this up." She said determinedly. Thunder handed her the sack, as she jumped down and softly landed on the glass container. Making a small portal inside to get the gemstones without breaking the glass she one by one took them out. Never did she think she'd use her powers for stealing, but if she was to find the rest of her family, helping these guys was her only option.

She noticed a big golden vault at the end of the room, she gave a quick glance to the group, who in turn gave a quick head shook as a response. ;"But there could be more valuable treasure inside!" She whisper yelled at them. ;"Do not take the risk! This place is already heavily secured, you'd never make it back!" Fist yelled back. She tossed the sack at him, hopping from one container to another, towards the vault. ;"What kind of Rogue, takes no risk?!" She said as she made a portal to go through the golden door. She was now Inside the vault. She could see golden items everywhere. Swords, coins, chalices, more gemstones, pieces of art.. and at the center of it all laid an golden  colored egg. Adorned by various gems. Aeri stared at it. ;"Just like a Dofus... but made of Gold?" She studied it for a while, but when she learned it indeed contained no life within, she picked it up. ;'This could be good for them.' She thought. She glanced at the door. 'I Don't think I can use my portals to ALL of this treasure but maybe...Just this one..?' She attempted to make a portal, but only a small one came out. "Already? I haven't used THAT much power. Oh.. now how do I get out of here..?" She panicked. Aeri tried to look for a way out but the vault was airtight. That's when she heard noises from outside. BANG. BANG. BANG. in a rhytmical way. Until the door gave in. There stood Lightning Fist himself. Covered in sweat. ;"Don't ever make me do that again kid." He said. Aeri smiled. ;"You came for m-" he stopped her. ;"I came because THIS ONE threatened to burn this place to the ground if I hadn't." He pointed at Shiroazaad who gave a slight huff in response creating smoke as he did. Now that Aeri looked closely Lightning's clothes were slightly singed. She presented them the golden egg. ;"I just thought you'd want something like this on your resume." He looked at her then the egg, taking it from her he laughed. ;"Not bad kid. Maybe you COULD be a Rogue one day... But now... We gotta scram, before anyone noticed we were here. Take what you can carry, and we're outta here!" He ordered. His men did as told, taking whatever they could. That's when the alarm went off. ;"And of course... The door itself has an alarm on it. Just my luck." Fist sighed. ;"EVERYONE RUN!" 

The group ran as fast as they could trying to avoid the elevated tiles on the floor someone every now and then accidentally stepping on one, a fire emerging from the ground or a battle axe nearly chopping someone's head off. They were nearly at the front door when they heard noises. ;"TEAM A WITH ME, TEAM B TO THE BACK DOOR, DO NOT LET THEM GET AWAY!" a guard yelled. They were going to be surrounded! ;"I knew this was a bad idea! Kid! This is on you!" Lightning yelled. Aeri quickly tried to create a portal, but again only a small one emerged from the tips of her fingers. ;"I have to- somehow- hng- just... WORK ALREADY!" She tried with all of her might to make a properly sized portal. But nothing came out of it. She was sweating bullets. ;"Please.. If I can't Do this everyone's gonna be in trouble.." Shiro placed a hand on her shoulder comfortingly. A spark of light appeared from his fingertips. Aeri saw this. ;"Maybe I can't do this alone but... Shiro please brother lend me your power!" She pleaded grabbing his hands with her own. He nodded ;"Alright, but only this once. I wanted nothing to do with this anyway" they both focused, pressing their foreheads together. More sparks emerged, light enveloped the two, as Aeri put her arms in front, making a waving motion, as a portal appeared, just before the guards ran in, they had gone through it. ;"Remind me to never EVER, do that again sister." Shiro said in a tired voice as the portal closed behind them. ;"Ehheh... Sorry brother. I swear... not to ever.." she tried to explain, her vision becoming blurry, her words becoming a slur. She lost consciousness, hitting the ground softly, and then.. She saw her.
