"Really?" Seraphina moaned, "Gary's seafilled funshack? We're gonna steal from there?", Archeon nodded and said, "yeah... no. Follow me"Archeon and they walked to an actual groceries store. Strangely on the way to the store they encountered alot of posters saying "Hi-fi's rule: doing any kind of criminal act in VeloCity is punishable by imprisonment, and if necessary, Death" nearby the store they were going to, but they didn't see it. They Finally walked inside of the store, and stole a bunch of food, specifically a steak, a bento box and some candy, not much right? That was all they could get but they ate it while running. Alarms were blaring, chronians staring, and Archeon and Seraphina were running for their god forsaken lives, but of course, bad news, they were surrounded by, you guessed it! the cops. "Oh shoot" was Seraphina's last words, and, "Aw man" was Archeon's before they were hit by a seemingly powerful electric shock. "W-Where am I-" Seraphina said while yawning. She was laying on the floor in a big cage cell being lifted by 4 chains in a big, drab looking room with absolutely nothing in it and a, what seemed like a 7 year old chronian with a captains hat, bigger than her head, covering her right eye, was proudly standing infront of the cell with her hands behind her back. "Nice one Sera..." Seraphina sighed. "Shut it!" Said the girl. Seraphina swiftly looked around the cage. "Wait... Where's Archeon?" Said Seraphina. "Oh you mean this guy?..." The little girl shouted, 'Bring him!' And then a chronian, looking more beefy than beef itself, hauled archeon in with its left hand on archeons head, lifting him up. "Seraphina? i- i promise I'll get out of here..." Archeon said whimpering. "Archeon!-" But before she could say anything else, The little girl shouted, "Alright, enough mushy mushy, broadcast this on all the screens in VeloCity!" Seraphina looked extremely confused, but suddenly, multiple cameras appeared from the drab looking room and immediately pointed to Seraphina. Suddenly the girl shouted in her high pitch voice, "People of VeloCity! I am Hi-fi! Leader of this mesmerising City! Today, we have 2 Foolish Criminals, who decided to break the rules, in our stunning city! tut tut tut, didn't you read the signs?... Everywhere? I guess we're going to have to up our security... again!" The people watching on the ginormous city screens all muttered and moaned. "Well unfortunately for you criminals, stealing is punishable by death! So looks we're going to have to spin the wheel again! Whichever name it lands on, Dies! Guards!" She called. She got a spinning wheel which said, 'human' which had 4 chances of being her, and it had another name on it which said, 'dirty shrouden' which also had 4 chances of Archeon being killed. "Well audience, Let us spin!" As VeloCity completely stood still, and so did Seraphina and Archeon, the wheel intensely spun but came to a stop and landed on... 'human'. Seraphina went completely pale and Archeon did a distraught face. "No! No! No! Please!-" But then, suddenly, Hi-fi threw a black miniature device into the cage and onto her face where it expanded and covered her mouth completely. Seraphina tried pulling it off but no matter how hard she tried nothing worked "Actually! Since I have a particular hate for shroudens, I'm just going to kill him instead!" Archeon suddenly shrieked of the thought of it, But then, Hi-Fi strutted up to the cage Seraphina was in and said in a slow and intense voice, "Consider yourself the luckiest person in the world little human, Because in this city, there are fates that would make the devil plead for mercy. Just kidding! Seize him!" Hi-Fi said in her high pitched voice. "Seraphina I did all I can to help, take my hat!"Archeon threw his hat into the cage where Seraphina caught it perfectly and put it on. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it was all my fault I'm such a failur-" Suddenly the guard Slammed his palm into Archeon's head, decapitating him, and putting his life to a halt. While Archeons dead body fell the floor, the people gasped in awe while watching the illuminated screens and unfortunately, the outsider, Seraphina had to watch with no words to speak. Abruptly, Tears ran down her eyes, but still, no words came from her mouth. Hi-Fi had a slight grin on her face while watching Seraphina tear up immensely. "You know?... I might just have you killed aswell for the fun of it-" All of a sudden, A decently sized black portal with a giant hand which oozed black liquid stuck out of the portal and grabbed onto Hi-fi and started almost puppeteering her, opening the cage and setting Seraphina free at once, Hi-Fi, in her 7 year old body, was wriggling around in the black goo shouting and screaming so loud, even the people watching winced a bit. "No one gets away with crimes in this city, and makes it out alive!" Hi-Fi's body suddenly transformed into a hideous monster type creature with the same features as a chronian but more beastly, with large teeth, bulging eyes, huge hands, all the sort. But just when Serpahina crawled out of the cage, a giant hand caught her head and pulled her into the portal, leaving the people of VeloCity utterly flabbergasted. Seraphina, still with the mask on her face, found herself laying, on top of a tall building she had once looked at earlier on, where a gummy bear looking shrouden with a biker hat and a black cape, much too big for it, looked down at her saying, "You look like you want something sweet... Maybe a raspberry?"
