Neptune's pov:

It's been a few days since that strange incident involving what had happened that one night in the streets. I couldn't find out what had happened by myself so i called other goddesses, Noire, Blanc, Vert, and Plutia to help me figure out what happened. I called IF and Compa so they can lend a hand as well.

Noire: Are you sure that something supernatural occurred in planeptune?
Neptune: I swear, something weird must be going on.
Plutia: What do think happened that night, nep-nep?
Nepgear: We don't know exactly what happened, Plutie, but what we know was that there were people describing a kid who ripped off a mask and started bleeding.
Uni: How could someone bleed after removing a mask from their face?
Blanc: It would appear that our attempts of cracking this case are fruitless.
Vert: Maybe it was just a strange occurrence that will only happen once and never
IF: Uhh, guys you might wanna look at this.

The tv was turned on. Upon looking at the news channel, they see a slightly creepy image of a man tied to a chair by chains and behind him was a broken window.
Announcer: The police don't know what exactly happened, but have found illegal weapons hidden in the area. All they could find was this mysterious card.

 All they could find was this mysterious card

We saw a black ace of spades card.

Nepgear: We should turn off the tv for now.
Nepgear was about to turn off the tv but IF said she saw something strange in the image. But the news changed to a different subject, so she turned on our computer and went to the news website to find the image.

IF: Do any you see anything weird about that window?

We looked in closer and eventually, we all saw it. Inside the broken window was a silhouette a human figure with what appeared to be a beak.

Compa: Besides that strange figure in the window, everyone on the internet is talking about that mysterious card that was left behind.
Blanc: I fear this may interfere with us gaining shares.
Noire: Maybe i can interrogate the person who was tied up.
Vert: Maybe he can give us clues to who the mysterious figure in the image is.

Noire's pov

I was in sitting in the interogation room. Across from me was a man with a few bruises on his face. he was apparently creating illegal weaponry and selling them in the black market.
Noire: please, tell me exactly what happened to you.
man: o..kay

Right behind you - team fortess 2 plays.

man: i was admiring my work and was about to rest for the night. I then heard rattling chains and saw a shadowy figure standing near my door and was slowly approaching me with a dagger in his hand.
Noire: Rattling chains?
man: I tried to shoot him with a pistol, but he sliced the bullets before the could get to him. He then stabbed me in my leg and started tying me up to a chair with chains. He saw a small vault with the money i made and within mere seconds, he cracked the code and took some of the money with him.
Noire: So this person is some sort of thief?
man: He took out my cell phone and called the cops. When they answered he pulled out a pistol and shot the roof. He then walk to the window and there was a little bit of light so i could see him. He was wearing a raven masquerade mask, but normally a masquerade mask covers the eye region of the face, but it looked like the mask was combined with a half ski mask.
Noire: That would explain why the silhouette had a beak.
man: After that he jumped out the window. I stayed tied up until the police came a few minutes later. I was arrested for creating illegal weapons.
Noire: I'll see if i can find out who that person was.

I don't know who this thief was, But blanc was right. His infamy may be an interference to us getting shares.
