Big siblings of Corona

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

You and Eugene are running from the royal guards.

"They went this way!"

Sophie front flips from a roof and runs with you both. "They're making this to easy!" She laughs.

"I know right! At this point, we need some popcorn to watch this entertainment!" You say.

You three both go down an alley to see Cap and another guard blocking the exit.

You all take your hoods down and smirk.

Eugene is holding the goods and says, "I'm sorry, are you lookin' for this?"

Eugene throws it over there heads for Lance to take it.

Lance catches it, one guard chases after him while stan and Pete are trying to catch up to you all.

"Strongbow is a diversion! Get Rider and the Slayer Sisters!" Captain shouts.

One guard stops, "Huh?"

Captain is getting frustrated. "Gah! Go Go Go!!"

Your all hiding behind a portrait of you all.

The guards are running all over to find you all.

Stan pants, "We lost them!"

You and Sophie jump over the portrait while Lance and Eugene lower it.

"Aw, C'mon! Seriously guys." Eugene throws the back and a teddy falls out.

"Man, we were so close this time," Pete says trying to catch his breath.

Sophia smirks and leans on the portrait, "If 'close' means 'not even a little' then yes I completely agree! Slayer sisters Twenty guards Zero!"

You both high five each other.

"Guys if you can't catch us when we're going easy on you, how do you expect to catch this 'master theif' that can't even make his own theif name up!" You say while taking down a poster that says 'Silent striker'

"Yeah, plus he's terrorizing the town!" Eugene adds.

"Captain calls him the silent striker." Stan whisper.

Eugene stares blankly at him, "Yeah I'm not calling him that. Anyway, Captain, I think this exercise in humility has proven that my esteemed colleague, Lance here is more than Qualified to assist me in training your men in the fine art of theif catching."

Sophie walks over to you, "Hey! Slayer sisters for the win! You know, I wish we were partners in crime before you came here, how awesome would we have been!"

You giggle, "Yeah, we would've made a pretty good team, though now we have a new team name to think of."

Sophia looks at you confused, "Huh?"

"Well, when it's just me and you, it's the Slayer sisters, when its Eugene, us and Varian is team awesome, but what about just me you and Varian?" You explain.

"Hmmm, good point! We're totally gonna have to figure that out after we find this theif."

You both walk back to Lance, Eugene and the guards.

"So what you say give Lance the job?"

Captain stares a little annoyed, "No." The guards walk away.

"Eh, I'm not sure how I feel about this public servant business anyway." Lance walks off.

"Lance C'mon! We can get you a job with Eugene once Captain sees how amazing you both are!" You walk up to him.

"But how?" Lance asks.

Eugene laughs, "Its almost laughably simple! We catch this new striker, prove that your trustworthy, and bamo! The Captain hires you on the spot!"

Lance smiles and poses like a hero, "Then let's find us the new Striker!" He looks around, "Well he's not here. Ooo! Let's get kebab!"

Sophia walks up to you all with two Kebabs and hands one to you. "Already have."

"You didn't get me one!" Lance huffs dramatically.

"Oh, forget the Kebabs! We've got work to do!" Eugene shouts.

Lance frowns, "But the Kebabs..."

You and Sophie glance at each other and smirk, before following and enjoying the Kebabs.

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

Your at Feldspar's boot shop, "As I always do each morning, I place my best shows in the display window. He took all my money! From the till, from the safe, even my secret shoe stash!"

Feldspar holds an old shoe and a fly comes out.

You all smile awkwardly trying not to gag.

"Hummina," Eugene whispers.

You and Eugene write everything down.

"I think that's everything from here, Monty's next?"

Sophia's eyes widen, "MHM LETS GOOOO!" She rushes out.

You giggle and follow as Eugene and Lance do the same.

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

"It happened after the after school rush, that's my business time. He cleared me out!"

Once again you and Eugene are writing everything.

Lance and Sophie are at the cupcakes.

"Mmm!"

"Uh, you know you've gotta pay for those, kids?"

Lance smiles awkwardly and puts them back, Sophie flips two gold pieces to Monty's and keeps eating a cupcake.

You look up from writing. "Hm, interesting... Xavier next? I need to ask him something anyway."

"Sure. Thanks, Uncle Monty." You all walk out.

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

"I was walking to get a customer her change, I turned my back for a second, and suddenly the whole chest was empty!"

Eugene looks up, "Uh, huh I think we've got enough here."

You finish writing, "Great, but uh Xavier can I talk to you for a few minutes? I'll meet you guys in Eugene's room."

"Alright." They take your notes and walk off.

"So, (__) what do you want to talk about?" He signals for you to follow him inside to his living room and he sits down, you sit down too.

"Well, I wanted to ask if you know anything, about this..." you take off your glove and show him the scar.

He holds your arm to get a closer look, "Hm, I see, now this is interesting." He stands up and walks over to a bookshelf, "Hm, now where is it... Aha!" He pulls out a book then sits down next to you again.

"Now before I begin do you know the legend of the sun drop?"

"Of course I do!" You reply.

"Great, well legends have it, that a white drop fell from the heavens with the sun drop connecting three drops to one another, but something happened causing them all to split and fall onto the earth, well the white drop formed into what's called the star crystal, this crystal may seem like it does nothing or is weak against the sun drop but it plays a very important part of-"

You interrupt him, "keeping the sun and moon connected..."

"Exactly, when did you find this mark?" Xavier asks.

"Well, these rocks have sprouted in old Corona... I was near them with Varian, Sophie Cass, and Rapunzel when I saw something in them, the next thing I knew I fell to the ground unconscious and woke up two weeks later." You explain.

"I see, and did that white stripe come from these rocks as well?" He asks.

You nod. "Yeah, but that was ages ago, this only came a day or two ago. No one else knows about it."

"Hm, Unfortunately, that's all I know about the star crystal but here take this book and have a read through as homework."

"Thanks, Xavier. Oh, and please don't tell King Frederick or Quirin about this, they've both forbidden me to go anywhere near them or talk about them."

"You've been forbidden two times by two different people and you still went near them?" He chuckles, "You kids these days are so rebellious. Don't worry I won't tell if you get full Mark's on your history test next week."

Your eyes widen in shock, "Full marks?! Fine. I've got to go and help Eugene with this new Striker dude." You put your glove back on and put the book in your satchel.

"(__), if this is what I think it is then you eventually will have to tell for the Kingdoms sake. Also, can you tell Sophia she needs to work on her, I, Uh, everything before the tests?"

You giggle, "Yeah I'll tell her, Thanks and goodbye!" You wave and walk out.

Xavier chuckles, "Goodbye (__)!"

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

You walk up to Eugene's door and knock then walk in.

"Hey, you got anywhere yet?" You ask.

"Not with those two no..." Eugene stares at the map of Corona.

You look over to see Lance and Sophie playing cards.

"Were helping by staying out of the way!" Sophie smirks.

"Go fish..." Lance mumbles.

You walk over to the map, Eugene has put pins where people have been robbed.

You look over to the two again to see them playing jump rope with Leo with some string.

"Wait! Hold on a second!" You walk over to Lance and Sophie.

"We hit a dead end," Lance says.

You grab the string.

"Hey!" Lance and Sophie say at the same time.

"What do we know about this guy Huh?" You start connecting the places together.

"Well, he hits his Marks at peak hours," Eugene says.

You nod, "Uh-huh, and his preferred extraction is using slight of hand."

"And he's after cash only, Oh! And he's working through town in a distinctive spiral direction!" Eugene laughs.

"Which points us to where he will strike next!" You add.

"I'd say we have enough to catch this silent striker." Eugene smiles and high fives you.

"Hey, where're our high fives?!" Lance asks.

"All you guys have done is sit and play go fish." Eugene crosses his arms.

"But It was a good game so I'll high five you!" Sophie raises her hand so Lance can high five.

"C'mon, let's go set a trap."

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

You and Sophie are on the roofs looking out for anyone suspicious while Eugene and Lance set up.

"Remember anyone suspicious tell me and I'll get Leo to signal Lance and Eugene."

Sophie is petting Ash who somehow got on the roof. "Got it!"

"C'mon everybody! Fast fun money right here ladies and gentlemen." Lance puts some shells down.

"Just find the coin and win the purse!"

You see someone in the crowds, "Leo, swoop down and do the signal."

Leo nods and flies down.

Eugene sees Leo's signal then kicks Lance.

"Ow!"

Eugene shuts the trap and keeps it closed.

You and Sophie jump down.

Leo flies over to you and perches on your shoulder. You pet his head, "Good job buddy!"

Eugene laughs, "Not so silent or strikey anymore are ya! Now let's get a look at our so-called master theif."

Eugene pulls the blue cloth to reveal to kids.

"Wow, I did not see that coming!" Lance says.

"Neither did I..." you say speechless.

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

You're in the throne room next to Sophie, lance, and Eugene but for the first time ever your not the one in trouble with Frederic.

"Your majesty, Captain may I present the Silent strikers." Eugene steps aside to show them, two kids.

"They're children?!" Captain stares shocked.

"Hey, ain't the first time two kids have been better than the adults." You blurt out making the Sophia laugh.

The short-haired one claps, "Wow Captain figure that one out yourself did ya? Or did your ace detectives tip you off?"

"I love that kid!" Sophie blurts out making Frederic and the Captain staring at you both.

Captain walks towards the kids, "what are your names children?"

"She doesn't talk much, but they call us the Bidness sisters. I'm nonya. "

"Hey, just like the slayer sisters!" Sophie grins.

"Well, nonya bidness-"

The girls start giggling.

"Very funny, no one is laugh-"

You and Sophie burst out laughing.

"Okay then, none of the adults are laugh-"

Eugene and Lance start laughing, "I gotta admit that's a good one."

"Hmm, well we can't send two children to jail..." Frederic thinks.

"Uh, excuse me dad but weren't you gonna send me to jail when you found out I were Starlight striker?"

The girl's eyes widen in excitement when they hear 'Starlight striker'

Frederic's jaw drops, "One, You actually called me dad and not... Uh, your... friend! And two how did you-"

"Some guards are more gossipy than others." You smirk and look straight at Stan and Pete who are smiling awkwardly.

"Right, well that's why they're not going to jail, every kid has a chance to change. But then we can't let these two criminals go either."

"Yeah, they'll just run off and start stealing again, speaking from personal experience anyway."

Frederick's eyes widen, "Yes you four do have past experience, don't you. Perhaps the four of you could take these two under your wing for a few days. See if you can help them straighten up."

"And get them to return what they took," Captain adds.

Eugene's eyes widen, "Ohhh, I uh were flattered. But lance and I aren't about kids."

You and Sophie walk up to the kids, "What ya say kids? Wanna come with the two best criminals ever."

"Uh, Sophia remember, your not teaching them how to be better thieves." Stan looks down at you two.

Sophie giggles nervously, "Oh yeah, right."

"Can we at least show them some sword tricks? Sophie and I have been practicing. " You ask.

Both of the kids look extremely excited.

"That's the reason you escaped the first time remember?" Pete says.

"In my defence, I was twelve if it was me now you wouldn't have got me back and I wouldn't have escaped if you didn't get distracted by Cass." You giggle.

Stan puts a hand on both yours and Sophie's shoulder, "Look, your both great kids, and I know you're excited about this, but your job is to turn them around, not give them tips on fighting or thieving clear?"

"Crystal." You both say.

Stan and Pete walk away.

Eugene and Lance walk over, "Looks like these two are in our hands for now- Where did they-"

The cuffs are on the floor.

"Welp, time for a game of chase," Sophie smirks.

"You know I would have more fun with this if it wasn't with two young criminals." Lance huffs.

"Nah your just getting old," Sophie smirks and runs after the kids.

Lance takes offense, "We are not getting old! Just a bit rusty that's all!"

"Uh, huh let's go!" You shout and catch up to Sophie.

"This better be worth it..." Eugene mumbles.
