Trixie POV

I was outside with my camera to film myself to spread the news through slugterra because somethings been going on over the last week.
Trixie: Hey, Trixie here at live and I don't need to tell you about the crime wave hitting Slugterra. Its been almost a week and out mystery thief is still stealing stuff all over. So I'm putting it out to all of you on the slug net. Eli and the rest of the Shane gang are on the hunt right now. But if anyone out knows where this is-

???: I do. She's right here.

I look around but something snatches my camera.

Trixie: Hey!

I see where my camera is and saw its Dana Por who has it.

Trixie: Dana Por?

Dana: (Smirk.) Oh can you say that again? I want everyone to know who's the best thief in Slugterra.

I fire my rammstone slug at her but she counters it by trapping with a web from her arachnet slug. I fire again but this time she evades it by swinging away.

Trixie: Get back here with my camera!

I fire a slug one more time and this time its a armashell, successfully hitting Dana.

Trixie: (Grin.) Bullseye!

But when the cloud dust disappeared, I realize she was gone as it took me by surprise.

Trixie: Hey, where'd you go!? How did she do that?

Time skip, 3rd POV

The Shane gang except YN are now inside museum where its filled with laser traps. Believing that the thief will come here soon.

Kord: Dana ain't getting through all of that.

Eli: If she does, she'll find us waiting.

Pronto: Yes well uh let us hope she does not keep us waiting too long. (Stomach grumbles.) Pronto needs a snack.

Kord: We don't even know for sure she's gonna try and rob the cavern museum.

Eli: She will, she hit pretty much every high security target in Slugterra.

Trixie: And disappear into thin air. Not to mentioned she's posted enough clues for us on the slugnet, using my camera!

Kord: (Smiles.) Well while we wait, I'm gonna dive into this week's crossword and win me some loot.

Pronto: (Stomach growl.) Sorry. Ahem. Pronto Stoll needs a snack.

Trixie: Where's YN by the way, I thought he'd be here to catch the thief.

Eli: Apparently he said that he's gonna go talk with his mom about something important.

Trixie: Important than this?

Eli: I'm sure there's a good reason why. He did said we needed help.

Kord: Well I need a nine letter word for flim flam that starts with a b.

???: Try bamboozle.

They look and see it was Dana who's on the ceiling.

Eli: Dana! But how could she have gotten in?

Trixie: Less talk, more slugging that camera stealer!

Trixie fires a hoprock slug but Dana swing across the room while avoiding the lasers as she landed on a small statue.

Dana: Careful Trixie, you don't want to set of the alarm system. (Smirk.) But I do.

She touched one of the lasers which triggered the alarm and its defenses. The blaster then fires Jellyish slugs at the gang, believing they are the intruders.

Eli: Scatter!

The gang avoid the slugs while Dana triggered more of its blaster defenses. Soon she crawl her way to the next room where Pronto notice it but the path is covered in laser.

Pronto: (Grin.) Aha..!

Pronto runs before jumping through without touching the lasers, but he then ends up by crashing at the painting, only to meet Dana.

Pronto: Oh uh heh...hello.

Dana just smirks and rip off his left eyebrow, causing him to yell in pain.

Kord: Gotcha!

Kord tries to grab her but she quickly evades him before firing her arachnet slug. Though Kord saw it and dodged it.

Kord: (Grin.) Ha! Missed!

She just smirks and pulls the web string that's attached to a large slug statue. Kord saw it and catches it but he then looses his balance before falling.

Trixie: Give me back my camera!

She fires a jellyish slug as it fire slime but missed as it hit the wall. Dana landed next to it and looks at the painting before the slime.

Dana: Huh, I like yours better. (Smirk.) In fact let me take a picture of it.

She pulls out Trixie camera and Trixie notice it.

Trixie: My camera!

She tackles Dana but she swing away as Trixie got stuck by the slime.

Eli: That's enough Dana! When we first met, I thought maybe we could actually be Friends. We gave you every chance to do the right thing, but you're just a no-good thief.

Dana: (Chuckles.) Yup, and there's nothing you can do to stop me. And for the record, YN knows me more than you do.

Dana uses her arachnet slug to swing away as she quickly snatches a few t-shirts from the gift shop.

Eli: Oh yeah? You're not the only one with an arachnet slug. (Grin.) There's nothing you can do that spinner and I can't.

Eli does the same thing as Dana and goes after her. But she dropped T-shirt to blind Eli and he ended up crashing to the wall before falling to the ground. The gang came and help him but notice that she vanished.

Kord: No way, no way she could have gotten through there!

Eli: (Groans.) Yeah, well she did. Its like she disappeared into the shadow.

Pronto grows another eyebrows on his left before examining the wall.

Pronto: But how?

Trixie: I don't know, but I'll bet YN does. Is he'd be here.

Meanwhile in a cave. We see Dana teleported into hideout with the t-shirt she got from the museum as he slug is on her shoulder.

Dana: (Grin.) Yes! We did it again.

She tosses the t-shirt to where the other stuff she stole.

Dana: We got lucky that YN wasn't there. Gotta say though, that one's gonna be hard to top. (Chuckles.) And I think I know just the place.

Her arachnet slug jumps in her blaster to allow her to use the web to lift her up at the large web of net.

Dana: (Smirk.) One last job, and we can retire the best thieves in the history of Slugterra.

Her slug chirps as she figure what her slug mean.

Dana: I don't know. Maybe we should go see YN once we retired.

Back with the Shane gang base. We see the slugs are playing around while the Shane gang are a bit disappointed from their museum accident.

Eli: Come on guys, it may not have been our best night but the museum wasn't total disaster.

Kord: (Smiles.) Yeah, bamboozled! I never would have gotten that.

Trixie: At least no one saw us flailing around like a- a bunch of floppers!

Trixie became angry from the video she's seeing that it shows their disaster from the museum.

Trixie: She posted it on the slugnet! With my camera!

Kord: I still don't get what Dana thinks she's doing. The only thing she took from the museum is a t-shirt from gift shop.

Eli: Well, besides making us look bad, I'd say she's doing it for the fun of busting to any places she wants. And the fact no one can stop her.

Trixie: How did YN even know where she is and keeps up over months?

Eli: I don't know how but he usually be one step ahead before anyone. This is different.

Kord: In that case, her thrill ride is coming to an end. There's nowhere harder to get into than the museum.

Eli then realize there's one that even the Shane gang can't go without getting caught.

Eli: No, there is one place.

Eli: Dr Blakks.

Two of the henchmen are walking through the hallway.

Henchman: Catch that slug ball game last night? Blade city brutes killed it.

Unbeknownst to them, something glow green for the moment before it faded. Revealing it was Dana Por.

Dana POV

This is a perfect place to sneak into. Heavily guarded and filled with guards. I sneak through the places without getting caught by crawling from the ceiling. Soon I made it to some kind of laboratory as I gently lower myself with the web to avoid any noise before looking around to find anything interesting, but all there was is bunch of dark water.

Dana: Blakks gotta have something worth stealing in here.

I heard my slug and she points at something at the wall. I look to see some kind of storage lock on the wall.

Dana: (Smirk.) Well well, what do we have here?

I examine the storage to figure out and successfully open it, revealing Blakk blaster.

Dana: (Smirk.) Aw yeah.

I pick it up and examine the blaster until I hear a voice behind me.

???: May I help you?

I turn around to see Blakk glaring at me as I kept my cool.

Blakk: (Glares.) Who are you?

Dana: (Smirk.) Just a no goof thief.

He didn't say anything, only glaring at me as I try to talk my way out of this.

Dana: Relax, I just wanted to see the look on your face when I-

Blakk just charge at me with a swing of his fist and he misses when I dodge and keep myself at distance. He may be strong, but I'm fast.

Dana: Okay that's not the look I was hoping for.

He charge at me with another punch and misses again as I jump over him before I landed on the table fire my arachnet slug at him. But to my shock, he just knocks her away with his own fist. I was distracted until Blakk took the opportunity to attack and I immediately dodged it before he destroy his table.

   But that didn't stop him when he grabbed a price of the table and uses it as a weapon. I dodge it again but realize he cornered me.

Dana: Please, just take the blaster back!

Blakk: (Glare.) Oh I intend to, you won't be leaving anything. In fact, you won't be leaving at all!

Dana: (Nervous.) I- I should've known better. After all, having your blaster stolen....

Dana: (Smirk.) That's just about the most humiliating thing that can happen to a slinger.

3rd POV

Blakk was about to grab her but she quickly disappears with leaving a cloud of dust. Blakk scream in anger until Maurice enter the laboratory.

Maurice: Everything okay boss? I heard...!

Blakk: (Cools down.) I've...lost something.

Maurice: I'll gather up the boys-

Blakk: No, I'd rather keep this...quiet.

Maurice: (Smirk.) Leave it to me boss. I'll find someone who can discreetly eliminate this problem.

Maurice pick up his phone to call someone.

Dana POV

Dana: Whoa...that was a close one. (Smirk.) But I'm still the best.

I get back up to the web net with Blakk blaster.

Dana: (Chuckle.) I bet Dr Blakk is losing his mind right about now.

???: Oh what'd I give just to see that even for a second.

I quickly turn around only to see YN leaning against the wall while aiming his blaster with Shocker while leaning against the edge.

YN: I gotta admit, stealing from Blakk and live to tell the tale sure is one way ticket to become a legend. Figured you'd still live here even after being back stabbed.

Dana: (Smirk.) So now you caught me. How did you pass through my traps?

YN: Had enough time to figure out the labels with some friends.

Spidey and Frost appears on his shoulder.

Dana: Not bad.

YN: Takes one legend against another.

Dana: So this is the part where either I surrendered and turn myself in or we just gonna slug our way out of this?

YN: I could do either one.

I was about to prepare to aim until he lower his blaster which got me confused.

YN: I take you in, then Blakk will take the opportunity to take you. (Serious.) You're lucky enough that he didn't catch you and turn your slugs into ghouls. I'd rather not betray my friends to let that happen.

YN just walk to the edge of the web and sits down and sigh.

YN: You know, after going after you for couple months after you back stabbed me, I didn't know whether I should take you in or not. I mean how long are we gonna keep this fighting up, until we get old?

I decided to sit next to him before speaking without making eye contact.

Dana: To be honest, I haven't thought of that.

YN: Probably should've thought of that for the last 2 years.

We both laugh together for a while until we stop to catch our breath. After that, I hold his hand before I confess to him.

Dana: I'm sorry....for backstabbing you 2 years ago...everything was happening so quick I didn't know what to do next.

YN: ...It was an accident. Better than Twist at least.

Dana: So I've heard.

YN: (Shrug.) Never liked him anyway.

Dana: Was that after or before he joined Blakk?

YN: Would it make any difference?

???: As a matter of fact, it does.

3rd POV

The couples quickly turned around to see a stranger who's a bounty hunter.

This caught Dana more surprise since she thought she cover her tracks.

Dana: (Shock.) I thought I covered my track.

???: But not your trail.

Luckily YN knew who exactly is he as he ready his blaster.

YN: The Gentleman...

Gentleman: The Outlaw. I supposed you know how this work to the end, correct?

YN: A gentleman always keeps his word. But a man always protect his friends.

Gentleman: Admirable. But pity.

He load his blaster before aiming as YN quickly draw his blaster while Dana tries to avoid any more trouble.

Dana: Wait you can have the blaster. Take it, it was only a joke!

Gentleman: That would make this easier for me and your friend here, but not you I'm afraid. I promise my employer that blaster and you. And the gentleman always keeps his word.

YN: You want her, you're gonna have to go through me.

Gentleman: Very well then.

He fires a thresher slug, but didn't hit any of them as it got two of them confused. Instead, it hit one of the webs attached to the wall and causes them to fall. YN was about to use Bubbles, but Dana stops him.

Dana: YN, grab my hand!

YN: (Confused.) What!?-

Dana: Just do it!

YN grabs her hand as the gentleman fires a hoprock slug. Dana quickly grab the orb before they teleported and ended up in the city.

YN: That thing you got, is this how you manage to escape easily?

Dana: I'll explain later.

She helps him up as there were two couples in front of them.

Dana: Don't mind us, just passing through.

YN: Down!

YN pushes Dana to avoid a hoprock coming from the gentleman. This shock Dana that he found them very quick but she quickly shakes it off.

Dana: (To YN.) Come on!

I quickly grab YN as we continue to run until we make a quick turn before I teleported us to the rooftop.

The gentleman continues to fire slugs at us until YN slides before turning around while pulling out his long shot blaster to aim at the gentleman.

YN: I got this.-

He was suddenly cut off with a grenuke slug as it exploded near him before he could react and it exploded. Causing him to fall on the roof, spraining his ankle from the fall before I arrive.

Dana: (Worried.) You okay?

YN: (Groans in pain.) Sprained my ankle. You gotta go, he's after you.

I nods and was about to leave but I hesitated to go, remembering the last time I left him behind. This time this will be different by coming back and grab his shoulder.

Dana: Not this time.

She teleported one more time before the gentleman arrive and lost them.

Gentleman: Hmm, interesting.

3rd POV

The Shane gang return to base after their long day trip to find Dana.

Kord: What a waste. 10 hours in the bush staking out the entrance to Blakks cavern.

Eli: Maybe she had another way in.

Pronto: (Scoff.) Trust me, if a tracker has keen-eyed and sharp nose as Pronto cannot find her then Dana Por cannot be found-....Aha! You see? Apparently I'm even better than I thought.

They look and see Dana Por is in the house and sitting on their couch.

Dana: Yeah, yeah, you caught me. Now hurry up and close the door.

Trixie: Whoa, whoa, whoa! What!? You had us chasing our tails like a bunch of floppers!

YN: Now hold on for a moment.

They see YN came in with a bandage on his ankle.

Eli: What happened to you? Was it Dana?

YN: No but it doesn't matter, Dana saved me.

Dana: And now I'm turning myself in.

Dana tosses the camera back to Trixie.

Trixie: My camera!

YN: Wait you stole her camera?

Trixie: Yeah. She did.

YN: Did you really? (Smiles.) How did it go?

Trixie smacks his head.

YN: I mean-...Its a start, right?

Kord: (To Dana.) I don't get it, why would you just give up?

Suddenly the alarm was triggered where it got their attention before they look at the screen to see who the intruder. The gentleman, and he destroyed to camera.

Dana: That's why.

Eli: Who is he?

YN: He's The Gentleman. A bounty hunter who can get the job done, Blakk hired him to go after Dana.

Eli: So you did try to steal from Blakk!

Dana: Try? I did.

Dana picks up Blakk blaster to show them.

Dana: And now Blakk wants payback.

The gang didn't say anything until YN speaks.

YN: Guys, nows not the time to think about this.

Trixie: Really? After everything she stolen!-

YN: I'm not gonna betray my friends just like Twist. We're better than this and we know what happens when Blakk gets payback.

The gang look at each other before looking back to YN.

Short time skip

The gentleman arrives in front of the Shane home base, only to meet Eli and Kord.

Gentleman: Allow me to introduce myself, I am-

Eli: (Interrupt.) Uh YN told me about you and the blaster. Its inside, you're welcome to it.

Gentleman: Unfortunately, I will have to decline your offer. Unless the girl comes with it.

Eli: Can't do that, I don't like what she's done but I'm not gonna hand her over to Dr Blakk. Especially when the Outlaw isn't gonna let it slide. I gave her my word.

Gentleman: That I can certainly appreciate. So it appears we will have to find another way out of this impasse.

Kord: (Realize.) Impasse...(Smiles.) 23 across! (Grabs his crossword page.) Thanks!

Thanks to his scanner, she gentleman notice Dana is getting away with Trixie on their mechas.

Gentleman: Not very polite to leave without saying goodbye!

Gentleman fires a Armashell as Eli and Kord fires Phosphoro and Tazerling slug. Tazerling and Armashell collided while the Phosphoro causes a flash to blind and mess up the gentleman scanner. He quickly fires a hoprock at them before going after the girls.

Eli: (Smirk.) Hey, I thought it wasn't polite to leave without saying goodbye!

He catches up to the girls to a desert a like cavern and spotted them. He fires a hoprock slug at Dana mecha, but she quickly uses her arachnet slugs to swing away as the girls split up. But the gentleman focus on Dana to ended up in dead end and got her cornered.

Gentleman: I'm afraid you're trapped.

Dana(?): No, you are!

She removed her bandana to reveal it was Trixie who disguise as Dana.

He then realize Pronto, Eli, and YN have them surrounded. However, he scan the angles of his surrounding before firing a  Speedstinger to knock out everyones blaster.

Gentleman: (Grin.) A mere distraction.

???: Exactly!

Kord tackles him and knocks him out unconscious before they regroup except for Dana.

Trixie: I guess Dana bolted.

Dana: Guess again.

Dana arrive, disguising as Trixie.

YN: Told you she's good with stealth.

Kord: So what do we do with him now?

Trixie: I got some ideas.

Dana: If I could take back all the stuff I did, trust me, I would.

Trixie: (Glares.) And we should just take your word for that?

YN: How bout you can take my word then? You guys trust me and I trust Dana.

Trixie: Seriously? Even after everything she's done?

YN: We had a talk. Let the past stay behind between us.

Eli: (Nods.) I trust you YN. So I'm trusting her too.

Dana: Thanks guys, for everything.

Eli: Don't thank me, prove me right.

The gentleman wakes up only to meet a blaster aiming at him.

Gentleman: I believe I know what happens next.

Eli and YN look at each other and nods with a grin. Knowing exactly what they're thinking.

YN: Actually, no you don't. We're letting you go.

Kord: (Shock.) We are? This dudes one of the bad guys and he's good with words.

Eli: Even if we return his blaster, Blakk is still gonna hunt her down. This is what we have to do to protect her.

YN: (To gentleman.) I supposed we can rearrange for an alternative.

Gentleman: (Curious.) What do you have in mind?

YN: Tell Blakk to meet me in Chill bore cavern and if he's really desperate for his blaster, he better go alone.

Eli: After that, this is exactly how its gonna go down.

Time skip

YN arrive in a frozen cavern where he meets Dr Blakk who's unarmed.

Blakk: So here we are.

YN: Right back at ya.

Blakk: Well, do you have it or not.

YN: I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

Blakk: (Glares.) Then give it to me. I'm here as you asked. Alone, unarmed.

YN: Don't even think about trying something dumb. I know your game play.

YN drops it and slide it towards Blakk who picks it up and smirks.

Blakk: You should have trusted those instincts.

YN notice the gentleman is behind him and has his aim.

YN: Why am I not surprised. You're not more honorable than I thought.

Blakk: (Smirk.) Don't flatter yourself, you should've known I've came prepare.

Blakk holds out a ghouls slug and fires it towards YN who duck in cover before firing back until he was surrounded by Blakk and the gentleman. Dana then appears behind the gentleman where Blakk notice her.

Blakk: What? You!

Dana fires a hoprock slug as the gentleman dodges it.

YN: Her name's Dana, friend of mine if you ask me.

Blakk fires a rammstone ghoul as yn fires Razor, but the rammstone ghoul knocks it away before going for YN. YN quickly jump over the rammstone to evade it as it destroyed the platform ice before YN landed on a ice in the middle of the water. Dana was about to help but the gentleman caught her off guard and fired a geoshard at her. Crystalizing her body until it reached her neck.

YN: Dana!

Blakk laughs as she fell into the water and without hesitation, YN jumps in to the cold water and swims down to get her.

Blakk: (To gentleman.) You're certain that Goeshard did its job.

Gentleman: A gentleman always keeps his word.

Unbeknownst to them, the water leads to a different cavern were we see YN swam out of the water to meet the Shane gang who help them out of the water.

Kord: It's okay bro, we got you.

Pronto: And these slugs are safe too. Thanks to Pronto.

Kord place Dana down who's still crystalized from the geoshard.

Kord: Dude, if he crystalized her heart or her brain.

YN: He didn't.

Eli fires a slirenslug to use its sound to shatter the crystals and Dana woke up and coughs out the water.

Dana: (Coughs.) Wh- what happened?

YN: (Smiles.) Exactly what we planned.

Flash back, YN POV

We convince the gentleman for an alternative and plan it out. With Theo help, there's no way it'll go wrong. At least in most of it.

YN: So do we have a deal?

Gentleman: It looks like I have no choice by to agree....But I am a man of my word. I promise Dr Blakk I'd bring him the blaster and the girl.

YN: You said you'll bring his blaster and the girl, but nothing about killing her.

Gentleman: Well played.

YN: Even so, I've got that covered.

Kord: You do?

YN: Positive. Only question is, will she survive? (To gentleman.) And I'm sure we both can agree that it won't matter for you so long as Blakk gets what he wants and you completed your goal.

The gentleman grins as he agree.

Flash back ends, 3rd POV

The Shane gang returns home except for YN who went to the gentleman to ensure they tie up their loose ends.

Dana: So now that Blakk thinks I'm at the bottom of the under river. Thats it, I'm in the clear?

Eli: As long as you lay low, which means no more stealing.

Dana: Thanks.

Eli: Don't thank me, prove me right.

Dana: I will.

She pulls out the orb and teleports away. Catching everyone surprise.

Trixie: Whoa! Where'd she go?

Kord: She bamboozled us!

Eli: I thought I could trust her!

Dana teleported back while holding the orb.

Dana: You can.

Eli: (Surprise.) Shadow clan tech.

Trixie: So that's how you did it.

Eli: (Curious.) Where'd you get this?

Dana: Inside your crate, the one with the Shadow Talker. This thing let's me walk through the shadows, just like the shadow clan.

Trixie: And you just took it?

Dana: That's what I do, what I use to do. I'm giving everything I stole back. Including this.

Dana hands it to Eli with a sadden look.

Eli: No.

Pronto: (Zips by.) Uh...ahem, excuse me but is that some sort of code where no means yes? Because this seems fin the kind of extremely powerful developed that Dr Blakk would love to get his hands on!

Eli: Well that's why Dana's gonna keep it. Safest place for it's with someone Blakk no longer thinks exist.

He hands the orb back to Dana.

Eli: Besides, if YN still trusts her, then I trust her with it.

Trixie: So do I.

Dana: I'll keep it safe, I promise. I'm uh pretty good at keeping out of sight.

Eli: Good, because I have a feeling we're gonna have to use that again.

Kord: I have one question....(Smiles.) I need a 4 letter word. S. L. Blank. G.

Everyone: Slug.

Kord: Oh that fits, thanks guys.

Time skip

Dana then head to the exit and leave until she heard a familiar voice.

YN: So that's it huh?

She turns around to see YN leaning against the wall.

YN: Just gonna lay low for a while, right?

Dana: (Smirk.) Too bad you can't catch me till then.

YN: (Chuckles.) That's one way to put it. But that's not what I'm here for.

Dana: (Confused.) Hm?

YN: I actually have a proposal. Since now that Blakk thinks you're dead.

Dana: (Smirk.) A proposal for a ghost?

YN: We could use a recon person. With your skills and that shadow clan thing, this can give us the advantage we need to be one step ahead of Blakk.

Dana then realize what he means. Just like her father, she can help them being one step ahead, yet she doesn't hope it won't end up like their parents.

Dana: I don't know, I don't want to end up like our dads.

YN: No, we won't. This time we'll do better. As friends.

Dana: (Smirk.) You mean couples?

YN: (Chuckles.) If you're fine with that.

Dana: Okay, but not right now. For now, I just gotta find a place to lay low for the time being.

YN: (Smirk.) I may have one place. If you're okay with the small mess of course.

Time skip

They arrive at a Alley in the middle of the city cavern. Soon they made it to the garage size door.

Dana: This is the place?

YN: Yup, just hope its still the same as the last time I left it.

YN open the door as its dark until YN switch the lights on, revealing the whole room is an old boxing gym.

YN: (Smirk.) Just as I remember...

YN walks around as he smiles before Dana ask.

Dana: This is your place?

YN: It belong to my grandfather. He use to teach me a lot of fighting skills when I was a kid. (Chuckles.) Old bastard can still hit harder like a rammstone slug, believe it or not. When he passed away, it was passed on to my dad until he disappeared.

Dana: And now its yours.

YN: Yeah. Since I was living here when I was away. Enough time to set up some couple thing and clean up most. But at least its a perfect place you can hide for the time being.

Dana: Not gonna lie, it looks perfect to keep my skills sharp and practice. I could use a practice after all, especially when I'm against Blakk again. It may take a while to grab my things.

YN: (Chuckle.) Just like last time. I better get back, the gang are probably wondering where I am right now.

YN turn around and leave until he hears her voice once again.

Dana: Hey, YN.

YN: Yeah-

When he turn around, he only met a kiss in his cheek, leaving him a small blush.

Dana: (Smiles.) Until next time. Call me when you need my help.

She shut the garage door, leaving him speechless until he smiles and head to his mecha before leaving.

YN: (Sigh.) She's really gonna be a pain in our butt.

Frost and Spidey laughs as they all left the city.
