NO POV

In the middle of the night on a highway in Japan, were multiple vehicles moving by. A majority of these vehicles were police cars. Above were a few helicopters. Their job was to protect the armored van carrying millions of dollars within it. Normally it wouldn't need this much security but they need it recently due to the recent attacks from the Phantom Troupe.

The Phantom Troupe was a notorious group of thieves all with powerful attacks. They are cunning as they are dangerous. Their a small group of 13 that popped up recently but have made headlines. The most notable thing about each member is that on their back is a tattoo of a spider with a number on it. Any ways lets get back to the story. The cars continued to drive down the highway peacefully. Until suddenly when they went under a bridge. From atop humanoid figures made of stone leapt down and landed on the cars. This was the work of the Puppeteer

Before the cops could react the stone figures started smashing the glass and throwing the cops out the windows. However they were having a hard time with the van due to the bullet proof glass. Above the helicopters started to move to assist. However a figure with wings made of fire swooped down and blasted the helicopters with fire, destroying them. This was the work of the Phoenix.

The van speed ahead of the rest of the cars. In the middle of the road stood a large muscular figure wearing nothing but a welding helmet and white pants. This was Talos. The van continued to speed up while the Talos got ready to stop the van. When they collided Talos got forced back. However after a while he slowly started to slow down the vehicle until it stopped all together. Talos reared back his fist and punched the front of the van. Destroying the engine.

By now more cop cars were pulling up and cops got out of the cars and pointed their guns at Talos. Two more figures appeared, one wearing a red tuxedo and a red mask. She was known as Hakai. The other wearing a trench coat and blank mask. He was known the Magician.

Hakai took out a rapier and it started to cover in a red energy source. She swung her blade as a wave of the red energy was created. When it collided with the cops it created a large explosion that sent them all flying. Meanwhile multiple cops pointed their guns at the Magician as he pulled out two squirt guns. All the cops broke into laughter until suddenly their guns were swapped out with water guns and he has the real guns. Magician opened fired and killed them all.

The other cops tried to flee only to be killed by the stone figures. A small girl wearing a purple Lolita dress and masquerade mask showed up. By now all the cops have been killed. The Phoenix landed by everyone else, his wings disappearing.

Magician: I must say, I do hope we find something more interesting to do. These heist are starting to get quite boring.

Talos: We'll do as the leader says!

Hakai: We dont have time for this, lets just grab the money and go.

Unknown to them one of the cops were still alive. He pulled out his gun and aimed it at Hakai. Before he could pull the trigger his arm was grabbed. The cop's eyes widened because he didn't see what grabbed him. A figure started to materialize before him. This figure was wearing a priest cloak and a mask that resembled a demon. He was the leader of the Phantom Troupe, other wise known as Lucifer.

Lucifer: Now that's not very nice.

The other members turned to face him, all surprised that their leader was here. Lucifer threw the cop in between all of them. He began to quiver in fear at the figures before him.

Cop: W-who a-are y-you p-people?

Talos turned around as the cop's soul left his body. On Talos back was a large spider tattoo with the number 2 in the middle. Now the cop realized that these people were the Phantom Troupe.

Hakai: This has gone on long enough.

Hakai stabbed the man in the chest as her sword began to glow. Then it exploded, making the man explode as well.

Lucifer: Where's your fun Satsuki? I wanted to enjoy watching this man shake in fear.

Satsuki: Let's just steal the money and get out of here.

Magician: Like you got somewhere to be?

Satsuki: It's 2am and I rather be in bed!

Puppeteer: She's got a point, I'm with her.

Lucifer: Fine let's do this.

All of them approached the armored van.

In the late evening at a café sat two people. One had purple hair as well as purple eyes. He even wore a purple longcoat over his grey tshirt. His name was Ryu Hiroyoshi, leader of the Phantom Troupe. Across from him was a girl with royal blue eyes and long periwinkle hair and was wearing a purple sweater with jeans. Her name was Nejire Hado, a student of UA high school.

Ryu and Nejire have been close friends since they were kids. She was one of the few people Ryu was naturally kind too. The too were engaged in a friendly conversation until Ryu noticed that it was getting late.

Ryu: Sorry Nejire, it's getting late.

Nejire: I guess you're right, so you later.

Ryu: Yeah.

Ryu turns to leave but Nejire grabs his hand making him stop.

Nejire: Hey, how are you and your mom?

Ryu hated that she asked that question but didn't show it.

Ryu: Our relationship is stilled strain but she's not like she used to be.

Nejire: You know, if things get bad you can always come to me.

Ryu: I know Nejire.

Ryu walked away, Nejire's smile turned into a frown.

Nejire(thought): Please be safe Ryu.

Ryu walked through the city. It went from large towering buildings to crappy apartment buildings and abandoned buildings with trash lying all around. This was the slums of Japan. Ryu entered one of these crappy apartment buildings and went up to his apartment. He entered and the moment he closed the door, a beer bottle was smashed against his head. Ryu fell to the ground as he held his head in pain.

Mom: ABOUT TIME YOU GOT BACK!

Ryu turned to face his angry mother. Her once beautiful long purple hair was now nothing but a tangled mess. Years of drinking and grief had made her take al of her frustration on her own son. Ryu looked away to avoid her face of anger.

Ryu: I'm sorry I was late.

She kicked Ryu hard in the gut, making him loose his breath.

Mom: And do tell me why you are late!

Ryu: I was with my friend Nejire.

His mom scoffed

Mom: That bitch, I dont know why she hangs with scum like you.

Ryu: DONT CALL HER A-

Ryu was cut short as his mom punched him, making him fall to the ground.

Mom: Dont...you...dare...YELL...AT...ME!

She emphasized each word with a kick to the gut. When she was done she glared at her son's weak form.

Mom: Get out of my sights.

Ryu quickly got up and locked himself in his room. All that was in there was an old bed, a few clothes, and a desk that was falling apart. Ryu tucked his knees into his chest and hugged himself. After about half an hour and snuck out the window and floated up to the roof. There he lied down and stared up at the night sky.

???: Hey.

Ryu looked behind him and saw a familiar looking girl with blue hair. Her name was Kairi, another member of the Phantom Troupe. She and her sister were also disliked by their parents because of their quirks. Kairi walked over to Ryu and lied down next to him. She saw his bruised cheek.

Kairi: Mom problems?

Ryu: Yeah.

Kairi: Why dont you just kill her?

Ryu: Would you kill your parents?

Kairi: No, but they dont do the things your mom does to you.

Ryu: I know what she does to me is wrong, but she's my mom. I know she's just grieving.

Kairi: It's been years since your dad has passed away.

The two just sat in silence.

Ryu: Gather up everyone.

Kairi: What?

Ryu: I said gather up everyone, it's time for our next heist.

Kairi: You shouldn't go on heist just to release anger.

Ryu: It's not that, there's something I've been planning to do for months now.

Kairi: What is it?

Ryu: You'll see.
