How about Jackie getting hurt whilst fighting a criminal and his brothers have to come help him?
@darkiplurrr, Thank You! This gave me an idea for the Universe I want to create with Jackie and the Septics! And a special Guest Star!
Guest Starring: @shadowsinyoursoul as Lunar Shadows (Mob Boss Shadows) and @dolphintreasureart as Erin Treasures.
(Dolphin Treasure Art Gallery)
Shadows crept through the darkness on the rooftops of the city. They were close to the target at hand. Dolphin Treasure Art Gallery. Shadows sneered at the so-called competition. Competition? This was the Competition of their Art Gallery?! Of their multi million dollar Art Gallery that racks in the millions without any fault? Seriously? And to top it off, she, Erin Treasures, not only is the prime Gallery for the students at the University to display and sell their artworks and help secure jobs in the Art Field. But also, is appointed and approved for Director of the Music and Arts Program?!
That idiotic imbecile of a Dean thought that if changed Art Galleries that, that would be enough to get out of his contract? That it would be enough to make sure that there was no ties of the forgies that could and would be linked to him? Oh, how naive he truly is! But, Shadows will deal with him later! Right, they have bigger fish to fry! Not only was Erin trespassing into dangerous territory that she never enter, but she refused their offer!? Oh, no, no, no! Nobody refuses their offer of Security! Especially in these parts of the City. One might think, putting up a brand new Art Gallery with thousands and upon thousands. And even close to a million dollars worth of Artwork, that Erin would at least thought about security? One, might actually think that she was literally inviting people to come and steal something?
Shadows waited until the Night Guard was long gone. Checking their watch one last time, they climbed down the fire escape with ease. Slinking and blending perfectly in with the Shadows. Now, to get down to business. If you wanted something down right, you gotta do it yourself! Shadows, went to the side of the building and to where the power box was. Opening it up, and quickly shutting the power off, they quickly went to the back of the building and record timing, successfully picked the lock and was in.
Shadows smiled to themself. This was easy, a little too easy, they couldn’t let their guard down for single second. Easily maneuvering and getting around the security that was set up (seriously Erin really should have taken their offer, then they wouldn’t have gotten robbed to easily). Shadows made their way over to the section that was dubbed to be the most secured. Shadows just rolled their eyes at that. If this was so secure then how did they get in? going over to where the security box is, Shadows got their gear out and got started right away. They hated to admit, but this was taking a lot longer than they expected. After disabling the security system, Shadows had no problem in just waltzing right in like they owned the place. Hm, now there’s an idea. After all, it would so hard to back from all this, now wouldn’t?
Shadows spotted the painting that they were after. Perfect! Oh, so this was what their client was after? A one of a kind, portrait, of that famous Actor? Well, no matter, they’re getting paid top dollar and an added bonus on top of that! Shadows quickly cut the painting away from the picture frame with even a scratch on it! Rolling it up and putting in the currier that they brought with them, Shadows was about to head on out. When something caught their eye. Why was there a statue of Jackieboy Man in section of the Art Gallery?
“Lovely, night for taking in all of the beautiful artwork, wouldn’t you say, Shadows?” Jackie said stepping out into the lighted area from the street lamps.
“Jackieboy Man,” Shadows greeted with a slight nod. “Okay, let’s cut the pleasantries. I was not expecting her to go to you of all people. But sorry Jackieboy, unfortunately.” Shadows checked their watch. “I’m late for a very important date.”
“Well, looks like you’re going to be missing it, then.”
“Oh like to see you try!”
Shadows didn’t even give Jackie a chance, they charged right at Jackie trying to through him off. It worked for a second but Jackie quickly recovered. Dodging, blocking, countering, countering the counter strike and getting a few in as well. Shadows tries a triple kick and Jackie barely gets outta the way. Jackie tries to spin kick, but Shadows ducks under. Jump and trying to drop kick Jackie. Jackie grabs Shadows foot but they quickly used him to backflip backwards. Using this opportunity, Shadows uses their gymnastics to cartwheel and backflip out of the section. They then slink back into the shadows.
Jackie quickly chases after them. This part of the Gallery, Jackie doesn’t have the streetlights to help him. All he has is, the moonlight that is shining through the skylight, and his mini flashlight that he always kept on him. Slowly and cautiously Jackie made his way through, trying his best to spot Shadows. But they didn’t get that name, because it was a cute nickname. They got that name because they could literally do that, blend in and sneak in the shadows, nearly undetected. Jackie will say nearly, because the minute that the move, then their hiding spot has been revealed. Unfortunately, for Jackie, Shadows had the patients of saint. They trained themselves to be patient and be able to wait, hide, by themselves, time. That's why they were the top thief and mob boss in the city. They knew how to wait, while so many others panicked or were too impatient and rushed things.
Shadows, waited until they thought the close was clear. Then they bolt right for the door. Jackie was right on their heels. Slamming the door open and running for it. Shadows wound up running into someone or rather, a something, that they would be fine in never seeing again.
==========
Some sort of Android, Jackie realized. Some sort of dysfunction Android has caught Shadows and if he didn’t do something soon. Shadows was going to be dead. Grabbing a pipe from the ground Jackie started swinging, the pipe at the Android. The Android manage to let go, of Shadows but now it focused it’s entire attention on Jackie.
“D-de-destroy a-all hu-humans,” the Android stammered.
Jackie started attacking the Android with the pipe but it wasn’t doing much. The Android managed to grab the pipe and bend it in half. Then the Android used that pipe and struck Jackie with it, breaking at least two ribs. Tossing the pipe away, the Android grab a hold of Jackie and throw him to the opposite wall.
CRACK!
Jackie, didn’t know what it was, but something cracked in his back. The Android, was near him, sparks flying and all.
“Hey!” The Android turned around, looking right at Shadows, holding a firefighters hose, with water dripping from it. “Say hello to my little friend!” Pulling the lever, a powerful stream shot out of the hose. Blasting the Android away from Jackie and shortseriting.
“Th-Thank you,” Jackie manage to weeze out.
“No problem,” Shadows said. “You got anyway to contact that Magician of yours? Or that Doctor that treats ya at the Hospital?”
“Yeah, I do,” Jacke said getting the card the Marvin gave him to use when he was in trouble. The card glowed and dematerialized, sending the message to Marvin where he is and that he is in need of help.
Shadows, stuck around for a more secs, then they saw a flash of light in a nearby alleyway. Shadows, turned and was about to go back into the shadows with the painting that they stole. This better be worth it! And they were highly contemplating of added more to the price since this nearly cost not only their life but Jackie’s.
But before they left, seeing the Magician coming out of the corner of their eye, “By the way. Thanks for saving me.”
“Anytime, Shadows.”
And Shadows disappeared in the shadows just as Marvin made to Jackie.
