Coltzan Crown Affair: Part One

by gabrieldyne

Heermeedjet walked in to the Neopian National Bank. He clutched the envelope tightly in his paws. He nervously handed it to the Teller. “Please Deposit this in Box 18243b”.

“Of Course. Have a nice day.” Heermeedjet thanked the teller, and waited with his brother in the bushes. They didn’t wait long, a few minutes later Brucey B, who always looked like a tourist even in Happy Valley, walked nervously into the bank. He came out with the envelope that was deposited earlier that day. Brucey examined the contents of the packet, and smiled at the poem by Malkus… Nothing was ever easy:

“I know I can trust you To Destroy and Steal,
I know that you will not run and squeal,
You will not get near the Police’s Place,
But I have Enclosed NP; Just In Case,
You’ll be happy to know, I Enclosed 100,000 NP
You Will Know Work
With My Henchmen and Me!”

Brucey B whistled for Heermeedjet to take his cue. The Meerca stood up and gave an inquisitive look towards Brucey. Brucey nodded yes and they parted their ways.

When the Meerca Brothers entered the lost desert, they arose no suspicion. There were many people entering the desert, and they blended in to the exodus of people entering Sakhmet. As well as being skilled in snatching things from people, they also had the uncanny ability to break into a building. However, they were not skilled in Neo-Kung-Fu Combat, and therefore could not break in to Sakhmet Palace. Therefore, they left discouraged. Merouladen had a great idea. A little known fact about the Meerca Brothers is while Heermeedjet seems to be the “more Gifted Grabber”, Merouladen is a mastermind thinker. He tailed a desert Aisha for a while, and knew where she would go when night fell. He took some pictures of her looting some residential pueblos, and confronted her in the morning.

“I have some pictures in this envelope, I’d like you to take a look at them.” When the Aisha saw it, she became visibly agitated. She gave a cynical smile and tore them to shreds. She stuck her small tongue out at the Meerca.

“Listen you brat! I have two more copies in my vest pocket, and three more in separate safe deposit box in Neopian National Bank! I don’t want to have you arrested, in fact, I want to hire you.”

“And if I refuse to entertain your request?” she said in a confrontational tone.

“As I have Sticky Fingers, I also can sometimes misplace things. If I happen to misplace these pictures, and uh… The pictures were to be found by a poli-”

“Okay, Okay, Okay! What do you want?” she spat.

“I need you to help my brother and I to get into Sakhmet Palace.”

“Well, if I recall, you walk through the gates, then you are… there!”

“Listen! If you talk like that to a person who has the power to put you in NeoPrison pending Y9, then you better get me into that building!"

“Let's go!” she said.

“In broad daylight?”

“I progress very fast, can you and your brother keep up with me?”

“Hey! They don’t call it Aisha Chase!”

“Fine let's go!”

After a fruitful squabble, the Aisha had them in the window of Princess Vyassa's Room. The Aisha left, and the Princess spotted the Meerca Brothers…

Meanwhile, far away, in another part of town:

Factor Blumaroo sat in his Private Eye Office, playing with his Ping-Pong Paddle. Soon after, Princess Vyassa walked in and said, “I have a case for you…”

The Blumaroo said, “Do tell...”
