Meanwhile at Mephiles' church, Scourge, Fiona, and Lightning had walked over to the God of Darkness, giant red jewel in Scourge's hands.

Scourge: The jewel has been achieved! [He gave the jewel to Mephiles]

Mephiles: Not bad, Scourge. [He turned the jewel into energy by turning it into light, causing Scourge to be slightly annoyed]

Scourge: Hey! Whatcha do that for?! Do you know how hard we worked to get the jewel?!

Mephiles: Don't be stupid. I was turning it into energy.

Scourge: You were what...?

Mephiles: I was turning it into energy. 

Scourge: Why do you need to do that?

Mephiles: Because the more energy this cult has, the more powerful we can become.

Scourge: So hypothetically speaking, if we steal an assload of energy, we can have enough to take over the world?

Mephiles: Pretty much.

Scourge: Nice!

Fiona: Oh boo... I was hoping to sell that gem so we could go on a fabulous date, Munchkins! [She collapsed into Scourge]

Scourge: [Patting Fiona's head] I know, Sweetums... It sucks...

Mephiles: Are you ungrateful for me, you two?

Scourge: Err... N-No, your darkness! We would never be ungrateful for you!

Fiona: Y-Yeah! Y-You slay!

Lightning Lynx: Slay...? Really, Fiona...?

Fiona: I had to say something, alright?!

Mephiles: [Unamused] Charmed... 

Scourge: Anyway, Your Darkness, we were actually planning to go back to the museum tonight and steal more stuff!

Mephiles: Wonderful... The more stuff you steal, the more energy we can get... [We then cut to Chihiro making his way to the Starlight Museum, ready to assist his friends in catching the thief]

Chihiro: [Thinking] Okay, Chihiro... I know this thief and his friend hurt you last night, but you have to be brave in order to get that gem back! Besides, if they try to hurt you, the Diamonds will help protect you! Right...? [He had made it to the museum and went inside, being greeted by the Diamonds] Hi, you guys!

Kiyotaka: Ah! Chihiro! Welcome! [He shook his hand]

Leon: Sup, dude!

Mondo: Ready to get going?

Chihiro: Yep! I... I think so...

Kiyotaka: I know this is nervewracking, Chihiro, but no matter what, we'll all do our best to protect each other! That's a promise!

Chihiro: [He smiled at Taka's reassurance] Thanks, Taka! So nyway, did you guys come up if a plan?

Kiyotaka: Indeed! Before getting here, I took the time to build a very complex trap! [He motioned to a very complex trap]

Chihiro: Wow! This is amazing, Taka!

Mondo: Impressive as always, bro!

Kiyotaka: Why, thank you! 

Mondo: So now what do we do until the thieves get here?

Kiyotaka: [Shrug] Look around, I guess.

Leon: [He was already eying the jewels in their display cases] Wow...

Mondo: Seems like Leon already found something to do.

Leon: These gems are beautiful!

Kiyotaka: They sure are beauties to look at!

Leon: Hey, you guys! Mybe if we do an extra good job, Ms. Pauline will let us take one of the gems!

Mondo: I dunno, Leon. That seems like a bit much to ask, dontcha think?

Kiyotaka: I agree. We're already getting paid $1,000 each!

Leon: I dunno... Does sound kinda cool!

Kiyotaka: Please don't get greedy, Leon...

Leon: Heh... Sorry... I'm gonna go look upstairs! [He went upstairs]

Kiyotaka: [Sigh] That Leon... 

Mondo: At least his heart is in the right place. [We then cut to Leon, who was upstairs looking at the jewels]

Leon: Well, iif I could, I'd tke all of you beauties! I think I'd take you, and you, and you! Oh, what am I saying?! I'd take every last one of you! [He snickered to himself, and that's when the lights went out] H-Huh...? [He was unaware that there was a black silloulette behind him]

???????: Tough luck, Redhead, because those gems are mine! 

Leon: [He felt a gun being pointed at his head and turned around, seeing the siloulette] H-Hello...?

???????: Hello there

???????: Hello there... DETECTIVE!!!! [He grabbed Leon by his shirt]

Leon: W-Who are you?!

???????: Your exit door... OUT OF LIFE!!!! [He pushed Leon to the bottom floor, causing the redhead to fall into the trap]

Mondo: [He heard the trap go off] What was that?

Kiyotaka: That was the trap! That must be the thief! [He, Mondo, and Chihiro ran over to the trap, only to see Leon hanging from it] Leon?!

Leon: Ughh... Hi guys...

Kiyotaka: What happened?!

Leon: I was just looking at the gems, and then some weird shadow figure came up to me and pushed me down here... Luckily, the trap kept me from hitting the ground...

Kiyotaka: [Sigh] Here... Let me help you... [He helped Leon down] Well, there goes oour only way of catching the thief... It would take way too long to reset it...

Chihiro: Unless the guy who pushed Leon down was the thief...

???????: You'd be right about that, doll! [The four turned around, only to see Scourge, Fiona, and Lightning behind them]
