1 AFP, Chapter One : Claude The Thief
Once Upon a time, in a Land oh so far away there was a boy who was blessed with good looks and with a great skill when it comes to stea- STOP OH MY GOODNESS I'M NARRATING HERE!
The Lord Thief's Partner playfully slapped his daughter's hand away from the book he was holding, he squinted his eyes and pouted. "No Finley, I'm reading."
"Papa, narrating is my job!" said the Artist.
"Come on! just give me a chance!"
"Fine!"
Early in the morning, where everyone is just peacefully starting their day like heading to their work place, practicing, studying while some are still sleeping.. just like Harith sleeping on that shade tree.
And so we'll turn the page into the Market, ah yes our good and ol' market that's where the Support Heroes spends their time at especially Angela who's just running an errand!
"Stop right there!" The Malefic Gunner shouted, she's wearing her SABER Squad Uniform which makes it recognizable that she's from the oh so known 'S.A.B.E.R Squad'
the Marksman made a hand gesture telling the Tank to pick her up. "Come on Johnson!"
"This is obviously a great way to start a day.." The Thief took a glance behind him, they're still chasing after him. "Nothing beats the feeling of running away with your Partner in Crime!" Claude takes a bite from the apple he just stole earlier, he offered Dexter the fruit he's holding. "Let's get the party started!"
Claude used his gun activating his Art of Thievery skill, slowing down everyone that surrounds him dodging the attacks and also jumping over obstacles. Wow can't you believe that? it's a great exercise! The Brunette glanced again with a smirk on his face. " Better luck next time S.A.B.E.R. Squad- OOF"
"WAAAAAAAAA" Dexter flew away like a slingshot because of the impact that Claude got from bumping into someone.
The Thief sat on the floor. "G-give me a brea-" Claude's eyes' widened when he saw the Splat Queen infront of her, he lifted up his head "BRO"
"Oh hey Bro!" Kimmy greeted, she gave Claude a hand to help the fallen Thief to stand up. "What's up?"
"Getting chased once again." Claude laughed "These guys don't appreciate I'm bro-"
"sTOP THIEF!" Saber pointed his sword at Claude, he's walking towards him and it's obvious to see that he's tired of chasing this guy just look at him he's panting!
"EEEEEEKKK" Dexter jumped on Claude's left shoulder, preparing his small and deadly gun.
Claude hid Kimmy behind him, he prepared his gun. "Okay calm down It's not tha-"
"Alright alright, let's make this quick." A calm tone of voice got their attention, a man with a dark brown hair with a strike of white gets into the scene holding a bouquet of Matthiola Incana and also a violin case. He went in between the two sides and sighed. "Saber, I'll handle this. I have some business with Thief King over here."
'Who you?' Claude thought to himself as he raised an eyebrow, he gently elbowed the Splat Queen beside him. "Hey Kimmy, you know him?" he asked.
"He's from the Empire, one of the Servants and Demon Hunter." She answered in her low tone. "He's also the one who is serving the Baroque Family for now."
"Well then, I'll leave this to you." Saber crossed his arms, he glared at Claude. "That one's tough."
"Yes." Granger simply nodded, he watched Saber leave and after that he quickly faced the two. "I'll be heading to Mi'lady now."
"T-Thanks!" Claude felt awkward for saying that to a stranger that lowkey looks like him.
After that scene, Claude ended up heading to Kimmy's Laboratory because well that's where he usually chills out! He also found out that Granger's serving Guinevere and you know what that means! (Probably not.)
The Thief patiently watched the Splat Queen finish her creation, helping her with the tools and also the one who's holding the flashlight (stolen in Dr. Rooney's Laboratory ™) he's lowkey curious of what is Kimmy's first ever creation, like what inspired her to create?
And so time flies and it's already noon! Claude placed a pan of crabs on the counter table of the kitchen.
Wonder where he got it? well obviously he stole it at the Southern Seas! the sea creatures over there are really good quality! it seemed that Kadita had taken care of her Subjects carefully! just look at the crabs!
"One.. Two.. Three.. Fou- wait Where's the five other crabs?" Claude scratched his head, he looked under the counter and he realized that it's just like a solid wall made out of marble without compartment at all. "Oh how stupid of me!"
He decided to ask Kimmy instead, stepping his foot infront of the door that was owned by the Splat Queens room. Claude leaned his ear on the door and listened to hear if Kimmy's sleeping or awake. Surprisingly he heard mumbling. "Kimmy?" He gently knocked on the door yet no one answered, that's where Claude started to get nervous he quickly pulled out a device from his pocket (not-stolen-from-Diggie's-desk-4-years-ago™)
Behold! The Gonna-Copy-The-Keyhole-Inator! It's an amazing device that can copy keyhole because the creator said that:
'Every hole is a goal' - Diggie
such wise words from the creator indeed, and now Claude clicked a button that was located under the device. The Thief inserted the device into the doorknob, after he heard it made a clicking sound he carefully spins the knob and gently opened the door. The brunette peeked behind the door " Kimmy?"
Claude flicked the lever that was connected to the lightbulb in the Splat Queen's room. "W-WHAT THE-?!" Claude stepped back he was horrified of what he just witnessed, this can't be real!
"RUN FREE MY FELLOW CRUSTACEANS!" Kimmy raised her hand as she points at her opened window, while the four crabs that was supposed to be their lunch were happily snapping their way out from the room. It seemed that the Splat Queen noticed the Thief's presence "BEHOLD CLAUDE, FOR I AM THE CRAB GOD!"
"nO NO NO-" Claude quickly caught all crabs "One, two, three, four.. where's the fifth one?!"
Meanwhile while Claude is looking for the 5th crab, little do he know that the crab was in Kimmy's hidden room and currently having a tea party with the Splat Queen's creations.
Harith and his friends are having a small play at the Enchanted Forest, playing dolls for short- no idea how Diggie got there though
"No Diggie, you can't play as Dr. Rooney!" Nana whined, she picked up a doll that looks like the Timekeeper. The wooden doll was really well made! and it's handmade too! "And I worked hard on making this!"
"Angela, I would like to take my bunny Jade outside!" said Chang'e while carrying her wooden doll hugging a small cotton ball that was shaped like a bunny.
"The breakfast is not ready yet!" said the Android as she happily made her doll sat on the miniature chair, the wooden doll house that Nana brought is really adorable and it's just like a real house but smaller!
"I'm.. staying with Harley" Harley said in his high pitched voice as he made the wooden doll version of Nana stand beside his doll.
"wAIT WHAT NO WHY?!" Harith made his doll kneel down in disappointment, it's unfair that Nana let Harley use her doll! really!
"Our great bond cannot be broken, after burning the Academy our bond grew stronger that's why!" Harley said as he crossed his wooden dolls arms. (yeah you can move those just like those expensive dolls-)
"Y-you guys just burned down the Academy how come that was-" their play was interrupted when they saw Valir and Vale running towards them, panting. It seemed that someone's chasing after them?!
"Where's Aurora?!" asked the Windtalker, he placed his hand on the Mage Genius' shoulder.
'GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF ME PEASANT-' Harley gave Vale a disgusted look and well kind of judging the fellow mage, he raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes. "Does it look like we know? and why? you two are like getting chased by fed assassins."
"Oh I know!" Diggie shouted
"No one cares about your idea, Diggie." Harley glared at the bird.
" :( "
"What happened?" Cyclops joined in the conversation, he's playing as the astronomer in their play earlier and Diggie was his rival.
"There's a huge wave at the village- and by looking at it I believe it's from the Southern Seas!" Valir answered.
"So why do you guys need Aurora?" Diggie tilted his head.
"Shut up Diggie, stop copying my question." Harley rolled his eyes.
"Wait wait so you guys are thinking that maybe Miss Aurora can stop the wave by freezing it?" Cyclops asked, well by common sense yeah that idea will work!
"oH MY GOSH CYCLOPS DID YOU EVEN WATCHED THE TRAILER OF FROZEN 2?! QUEEN ELSA CAN'T EVEN FREEZE THE WAVES FROM THE SEA, DO YOU THINK AURORA CAN FREEZE IT?!" Nana said frustratingly, she threw her doll beside her and stood up. "NOW TELL ME IF THAT IDEA WILL WORK?!"
"OH MY GOSH FINALLY SOMEONE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND ME, THANK YOU FOR EXISTING NANA" Said Harley.
"Actually, Miss Aurora can do it but it'll take a whi-" The Timekeeper didn't get a chance to finish his sentence when Harley threw his cards at him.
"NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR SUGGESTION DIGGIE." Harley shouted once again. "Anyway, can't just Valir stop it by himself?"
"Well yeah it makes sense since the Fire Nation was able to defeat the Water Nation back then!" Chang'e smiled.
"Uh Guys can we decrease the Fourth wall breaking-" Poor Angela..
Will they ever find Aurora? What do you think is the cause of the tsunami at the Village? Why does Harley hates Diggie so much? By the way where's Lesley? isn't she supposed to be with Harley 24/7? Will Diggie still remember the device that Claude stole from him? Speaking of Claude wonder what happened to him after seeing Kimmy being praised by the crabs?
We'll see in the next chapter of The Fishy Problem!
