The Underground Tomb Part 1

"Hilda...I don't know-"Bean was about to say before Luci hopped onto Bean's shoulder. "DEPENDS!" said Luci loudly. "What exactly are we going to steal?"

Hilda looked around to make sure no one was listening. She then whispered to them, "Potatoes...." Bean, Elfo, and Luci stared at them for a moment. They looked at each other and then back at Hilda. Elfo would then ask, "You three must be starving." Luci would then say, "Have you three tried stealing things of value?"

"Hey, Potatoes ARE valuable! I've been a potato thief ever since my father never came back from the lemon crusade!" said Rupert

"Riiight..." Luci said, slitting his eyes at him.

"I expected a potato thief would look as stupid as you," said a voice in the distance

Everyone turned to where the voice came from and out came Koga. Hilda, Tuppence, and Rupert gasped, and they slowly backed away. "Honestly, I wouldn't care about potatoes getting stolen. But I'm tired of that old lady asking me if I caught the person doing it," he said as he stepped forward lazily.

"Koga, The Wandering Swordsmen!" said Tuppence. "Your battle against the gnomes of Arrowhead Valley is a legend!"

Bean raised a brow and turned towards Koga. Koga groaned and rubbed his head. "I don't want to talk about it...." He said irritably, seeing that Bean was about to ask why she was fighting genomes.

"That's funny because I saw a war between Gnomes and Ogers on my way to Dreamland! War is pretty interesting!" said Elfo

"I bet you lost...." Luci whispered with a grin.

"No, I didn't!" Koga snapped at Luci. He then turns toward the three thieves. "Alright, you three, bring your asses over here so I can turn you all in. And don't try and run. I will chase you three down and kill you all."

"Wait, Koga!" said Bean, standing before him. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

Koga just stared down at her. "No, I'm not letting your pink-haired friend go."

"Koga, come on...It's just potatoes. Are you going to send someone to the dungeons over potatoes?"

"I've killed and hunted down people over stupider things, Bean," Koga stated. "Move again and see what happens," Koga said to the three thieves, and they stopped immediately.

"Oh, come on, Koga. You're being a jerk!" Bean said, glaring at him. I can't believe you're being such an uptight stick in the mud!"

"You guilt-tripping me is not going to work, freckles," said Koga, crossing his arms. Besides, I—" Koga's eyes widen as he suddenly gets an idea. "Wait a minute." He uncrossed his arms and began counting. One, two, three, four, five, six...hmmm." He rubs his chin, thinking. 

 Bean looked at him curiously. "Why did you just count all of us?" She asked suspiciously.

"Alright, listen up. I'll let you all off for two conditions!" said Koga, walking over to the three thieves. 

Hilda looks at Rupert and Tuppence, then back at Koga. "And these two conditions are?" She asked, looking at Koga carefully.

"Well, condition number one. You help me on a quest,"

"A quest?" Hilda repeated. 

"That's right," Koga nods. "I got some information from a few of my knight buddies back at the castle that there's a tomb that holds treasures beyond anyone's wildest imagination. And with all of us together, this will be a no-brainer!"

Hilda rubs her chin. "So...you want us all to help you get this treasure?"

"Yup!" Koga nods once more.
