The sun set in downtown Bonesborough as Lilith, dressed as Nevermore flew down into the alleyway next to the town's Treasure Depository. In that alley, she encountered Luz and Amity, with King perched on the former's shoulders.

Luz: How does it look?

Lilith: *exposes her face* Barely any witches outside the steps and from what I have seen, a fair amount inside to give you all a little cover.

Luz: Okay, perfect timing for the heist.

King: Alright! *clap* Let's do this!

Lilith: Okay, I'll head to the back of the Depository and wait for you all near the emergency exit. Once you have all of the money you can grab, get out as fast as you can, okay?

Amity: Of course, Ms Clawthorne.

With a nod, Lilith pulled her cowl back over her face and flew off towards the back. As she left, Luz and Amity stepped out of the alley and into the Depository, spotting many demons either working behind glass or in line to work out financial business. The former Blight spotted a door to a broom closet, motioning for her girlfriend to slip in with her. Once inside, the three began to suit up.

Luz: Alright, don't get picky with how much we grab. Just grab the cash and book it. And if we hear any security alarms, we need to get out muy rapido. Got it?

King: *ties cape* I have no idea what you just said, but fine.

Amity: So, how do we find a way into the vault from a broom closet?

Luz: We don't, Atty.....

As Luz said this, she slipped on her owl mask as she reached into her pocket, pulling out cards with fire glyphs drawn on them.

Owl Wing: We make one.

------------------------------------------

10 minutes passed as Nevermore stood near the emergency exit, anxiously strumming her fingers on the brick wall in worry.

Nevermore: Dammit, it's been 10 minutes. I hope nothing bad happened to them or-

She was interrupted as the security alarm suddenly goes off.

Nevermore: Oh no.......

Luz: TIA!

The raven witch peaks out to see Owl Wing, Sludge, and Tyrant running out the exit, all of them carrying various sacks full of treasure.

Owl Wing: Tia, come on! We have to get out of here!

Sludge: Hurry, the Guards are coming!

As the fake Abomination had said, members of the Emperor's Guard came through the exit, casting spells of their own to stop the Wild Witches.

Guard #1: Hey, stop!

Guard #2: Surrender and come with us now and we won't have to use violence...... Okay, we won't use too much violence.

Tyrant: No way, coppers! *flips them off* You both can suck my left nut!

With this, Tyrant jumped onto the Owl Staff with Owl Wing and Sludge boarded on Nevermore's staff as they flew off with the sacks.

Guard: Dammit! We can't let them get away! Call the Emperor's Coven!

The other Guard nodded as he blew into a warhorn to signal the Emperor's Coven's guard.

------------------------------------------

In the sky, the Wild Witches were making their way to the location to meet Willow and Gus and move on with the plan.

Tyrant: Holy crap! *cackles* We've done it! We just got thousands, maybe millions, of snails in one swoop! Oh my Titan!
