Jermaine jumps from rooftop to rooftop in his new gear looking stronger, faster, and focused. He stops on the edge of a rooftop overlooking the city. He thinks about how its been six months since he join the gang. Thanks to Mia'asias training he actually knows karate and jujitsu. Hes fast enough to outrun most cops and he can jump high enough to scale up buildings. Thanks to Cisco he can actually got new tech to work with. A pair of shades that can scan anything and anyone within a 100 yard radius, a custom made phone that can hack any phone near by and a set of stun batons. Thanks to Izzy he learned how to gamble, pick pockets, and stay undercover longer. He also got some cool clothes, a brand new bandana with Aces on it, a new hood, and a cool Ace tattoo. He had to admit it he love his team.
Jermaine looks at his phone and sees that he's late. He jumps a couple of more rooftops until he reaches a bug open roof where he sees the rest of his team waiting on him. "Youre late" Queen said Ace started to say "sorry i was-" but Queen cut him off saying "save it, do you remeber the plan?" "We plant the cards in the cameras outside the casino so King can have over them." Ace said "remember Kings is our eyes and ears in the sky so he'll watch over us" Jack said "but if we get spotted we split up and run for The Hand." Ten said Ace nods his head and Queen said "Lets Go"
The team split in twos and head over to the edge of the roof where they see a cable wire as they walk across it like tightrope to the opposite roofs of the casino. All four of them jumped on the roof and quickly went to each camero at the corner of the roof. They get behind a camera, open up the back of them, and pull out their playing card which is really a metallic virus that can override security and allow King to access all security fed in and out the building. Once they was done with the cameras they headed off the roof to get ready for the main event tonight.
Its 6:30pm 30 minutes before the score King sits down with his team to review the plan. "The Grand Fortissimo is the biggest casino in the city and if were gonna take everthing they got people gotta do thier part. Ace you and Ten go in, play some games, win everything, argue, and when were done start a fight and get out of there. Jack and Queen stay out of sight, stay close to the walls, find the vault and the server should be right below it. The money is for show the real goods is in the machine. Insert your playing card in it and itll have all the money wired to our bank accounts then the virus will kick in and shut down the server." King said everybody nods thiers heads so King said "suit up!!"
7:00pm arrives as the Royal Flush Gang pulls up at the Grand Fortissimo in a borrowed(stolen) Ford Gt 2017. The gang look like celebrities thanks to Ten's make up skills. When the team got inside they split off into groups and put on their shades. Ace and Ten went to the poker tables while Queen and Jack went to go look for the vault. Ace and Ten sat down at the poker table. The dealer asked them how much was they betting and they put down a thousand dollar and began to play. With the help of King, Queen and Jack managed to find the elevator leading to the vault. They sat at the bar to wait for their chance to get in. Ace and Ten won game after game against each other to the point to where people circled around them in ahh. The guards took notice and joined in the crowd. This was the chance Jack and Queen was looking for as they run down the hall to the elevator. "M-ma'am and sir i believe you both won everything at this table evenly." The dealer said nervously Ace and Ten smirk at each other as Ace asked "where my money at? I won so i want my 50k in cash right now!!" "Same here" Ten said staying up. "Ok ok were coming" a voice said in the crowd. The crowed moved aside to reveal two people walking towards them. A short white hair boy with a black and white suit on and a girl purple hair girl with a black dress on. They both carried a suitcase and heavy bag. Jack and Queen made it to the elevator and went up to the 2nd floor. "You got company" King warned them "what company?" Queen said. The doors opened and at the end of the hall standing infront of the door to the vault was a black man in a brown black suit and a woman in a red chinese dress. Queen walks to towards them asking "and who are you two suppose to be?" "They hired us to protect this vault and since you got up here so easily we cam assume that your the imfamous Royal Flush Gang." The woman said. Jack hands Queen her fighting gloves as they stay silent. "Haha i am right well you can call me the Red Queen and my partner here is the Rook." Red Queen said. "Sad thing is i dont even like chess like that" Jack said as he charged at them pulling out a pair of nunchunks. Red Queen takes out her metal chinese fans and takes a stance while Rook charges at Jack while putting on a pair of tiger claws. Queen runs, jumps off the wall, and begins her fight with Red Queen.
"Queen and Jack made it to the vault time to start some trouble." King said to Ace and Ten over the comms. Ace grinned, took the bag of money from the boy, and smacked him across the head with it causing him to fly into a piler knocked out for the moment. Ten did the same thing to the girl then pulled out a small pistol and fired a shot at the ceiling. "Did you really have to bring that!?" Ace shouted "don't worry theyre blanks" Ten said as everyone ran out the building. The guards began to surround them Ace pulls out his batons and puts the bandana on around his mouth. He hands Ten another baton, she extends it into a staff. She puts on her bandana and the two beatdown the guards easliy. The boy and girl that got knocked out slowly got up and opened thier suitcases revealing weapons. The boy charges at Ace with dual foldable Katanas. Ace managed to block his attacks and slides back asking "just who the hell are you?" The girl answered angrily saying "im the Bishop,hes the Knight, and youre dead!!" Bishop charges at Ten with a foldable scythe and swings it down. Ten blocks it with her staff and hits her in the stomach with one end of it. Bishop bends over from the attack and the two begin to exchange blows. Ace goes for a double mid air kick but knight blocks it, he then cracks him across the head with his baton and deliver a painful combo of hits. Knight falls down, flips over, and lands on his feet.
Queen spins kicks Red Queen guard causing it to break, using the chance Queen hits Red Queen with a strong right hook. She knees her in the face and kicks her in the stomach. Red Queen swings her fan cutting Queen's leg. She trys to swing again trying to cut off Queen's head but Queen ducks, swipes Red Queen's legs making her fall, and with one final low spin she kicks Red Queen in the face causing her to crash into the wall leaving her outcold. Queen gets up limping saying "ow are you done yet??" "Hes tougher than he looks ok" Jack said as he wrapped his nunchunks around Rooks claws and punches him in the face. "Youre not the one with the cut on your leg." Queen said as she got to work hacking the vault door using her phone. "Well your not the one claw marks all over you!!" Jack said he kicked Rook so hard in the nuts he dropped to his knees. Jack then uppercuted him with his nunchunks knocking him out. The door open and Jack stands besides Queen. "Feel better?" Queen said "shut up" Jack said annoyed.
  Back to Ace and Ten , Ace was busy blocking Knights attacks but he saw that he was taking damage. He needed to finish this so he rushed in charging at knight. Knight swings his swords and Ace slides under his legs, he hit him in the back of the leg with one baton, turned up the voltage on the other one and shocks knight knocking him out. Ten knocks the scythe out of Bishops hands. With one final crack of her staff Ten knocks out Boship. The two catch thier breath for a minute then head for the elevator to catch up to the others
Jack and Queen got inside the vault and using thier phones found where the server was hiding. They move a pile of money aside and opened a hidden latch. Jack jumped down to a see a whole room full of servers. Ace and Ten made it to the vault. Queen smiles saying "about time you showed up" "yeah we was busy" Ten said. "You have 5 minutes to do what you got to do before the cops get come." King said. Jack quickly goes to the biggest server and uses his playing card to download everything. Ten and Queen heads back inside the elevator while Ace place his playing card in the server shutting it down and helps Jack out of the server room after getting everything they need.
The gang heads up to the roof where they got hit with spotlights and see that a huge group of policemen were right below ready to take action. "So uhh what do we do now were stuck" Jack said. Everybody stayed silent until Ace came up with an idea. "Do everybody have the gas jars that King gave us as a last minute get away?" Ace asked "yeah so what?" Ten said "start throwing them!!" Ace shouted as he pulls out a light bulb full of gray gas and throws it on the ground causing fog. Everybody did the same thing and the roof was covered in a thick gray fog. The fog then jumped off the roof and landed in the street. The police surround the fog until it was clear and nobody was there. The Royal Flush Gang dissapper.
