Vert rented an entire building to host a fancy party. It was 4 stories high, red carpets everywhere, plenty of wine, the center had a massive chandelier with smaller chandeliers attached under it. It was the perfect place to attract the one who's been eluding the goddesses. While everyone was in their tuxes and dresses, the goddesses wore their normal clothing so their movements weren't hindered when pursuing the thief.

Noire: It's now or never.
Neptune: It'll be game over if he gets away.
Vert: I'm sure my plan will be full proof.
Blanc: Keep your eyes peeled, we don't know exactly when he'll strike.

Linda then showed up, but was feeling a bit uneasy. Who knows what could happen to her if she were to be caught by this thief.

Linda: (in head) i have to do this, yet i'm too scared of that thief.

Suddenly, the underling remembered Neptune's pinky promise. Because of that, she finally mustered enough courage to approach the goddesses and execute Vert's plan.

Vert: (whispering to the others) it's time.

Linda then pulled out a fake pistol and pointed to Vert. This caused everyone at the party to gasp at her false assassination attempt.

Life will change - persona 5 plays.

Suddenly a shuriken was thrown out of nowhere and cut down the fake gun's barrel to size. Everyone was looking everywhere to find the one who threw it. A shadowy figure was leaping from floor to until he landed on top of one of the smaller chandeliers and revealed himself to the world. He was wearing whatever the who are chapter said he was wearing, had messy h/c anime hair, had a pair of e/c eyes, and was wearing a masquerade raven mask with a black cloth covering his lips, chin, and entire neck. He let everyone get a good look at him before he was about to make his escape.

Vert: Guards! Don't let him escape!

Enigmatic Youth's pov

I think i might have out stayed my welcome because it looked like guards were about to come after me. I jumped from chandelier to chandelier and ended up on the second floor. Civilians have already evacuated and i tried to run but in front and back of me were some elite guards.

( i thought it looked cool)

Elite guard 1: Freeze, criminal!
Elite gaurd 2: you've got nowhere to run!
Elite guard 3: hands up or we'll fire!

It was clear that these guys weren't going to let me go, so it looks like i needed to get a bit... Aggressive. I pulled out my dagger and stabbed the one behind me.

Elite guard 1: That bastard!
Elite guard 2: Open fire!

The two in front of me where shooting me, but i used the dead one as a convenient meat shield. I pulled out my gun and shot one of the guards right through his visor and rushed to the last guard to slash his legs and shoot him in the head.

Enigmatic Youth: (in head) that should be last of them.

I though that was the end, but suddenly the goddesses where right in front of me. Blanc jumped, did a twirl and was about to crush me with her hammer. Not wanting to end up like a pancake, i quickly back flipped and junped back on the chandeliers. I needed to get the hell out of this place before more guards show up.

Get away & arrest persona 5 plays

I was on the final floor and hiding behind a pillar, i needed to find an exit but there where more guards at the stairs. I ran to look for another exit, but i was surrounded by guards.

Guard: It's over criminal! Surrender now or we will open fire upon thee!

I crouched, but not because i was surrendering. They didn't realise i was right next to a large window. A thief always has a plan. I jumped out the window while making my self look awesome. No one was watching but i did it anyway. I landed on my feet and was about to make a run for it, but i was flashed by a lot of lights. And on front of me were a lot of guards and the goddesses.

Enigmatic Youth (in head) Fuck!
Vert: After him!

The guards where running straight towards me. I ran into an alleyway and started jumping of the walls and finally made it onto the rooftops. Before making my escape, i left behind my calling card to let them know i got away safely.

The goddeses where suprised by the amount of skill the thief possessed and how he managed to elude them yet again. Linda ran away from the scene and went into hiding.

Blanc: damnit, he got away!
Noire: we had all of this planned out, yet he manages to escape us again.
Neptune: vert, please tell me you have another genius plan.
Vert: I don't. But we'll get him again some other time. I'm sure of it.

With that, the goddesses returned to their basilicoms. They couldn't let this thief beat them again.
This was not the end.
