The party was buzzing guests of all shapes sizes and races were socializing. Today was a fair day in the Xenos quadrant and today was highly anticipated. It was the masked auction. While many identities were hidden the fact that most if not all guests today were criminals was the least surprising concept. It was the perfect cover for Zekials Crew. He stayed back on the Silverstreak, the name of their hi-tech Ship. Listening in on everyones Comm Links as well as seeing what they saw from special contact lenses each of the crew were wearing.
Zekial kicked his feet up on the control center and leaned back.
"Alright guys easy mission. They should be selling the cloak soon. Remember Zorro and Barbara are our very wealthy Investors, DJ and Aiden you're their plus ones respectively and Marlo you got the smokebombs ready?" Zekial asked.
"Yezzir! Also These creme puffs are delicious." The Green Ranger said stuffing his mouth with food.
Zekial facepalmed as he continued watching the cameras. "Other than Marlo everyone else comfortable?"

Looking around as she stood beside Zorro, Delia Chase, better known as DJ, sighed to heself as she did. "I got one but I'll keep it in my back pocket until we get back to the ship," the Pink Ranger said. "Actually, now that I think about it, why ain't I the one doing the rich investor thing? You do know my dad was loaded, right? I know "rich and up your own ass" better then Barbie."
Barbara chuckled and smiled, shaking her head as she looked at Adrian. "She's just not happy, is she?" she asked. "Deej, we all know I can talk my way out of any situation. Remember that bar fight you almost got into on Onyx? When the woman wanted to cut your throat and use your esophogus as a silly straw?"
"Ugh....you had to bring up Brunhilda," DJ snickered, shaking her head. "Fine, fine. I'll behave. If I don't shank Zorro before the night is out. Hands keep trying to go too low. You wanna be able to keep pulling on your sword, keep the hand over the waist, Mr. Self-Important." She narrowed her eyes, huffing and frowning.
"Aww, it's ok, Delia. Make it through tonight and I'll make dinner when we're done." Barbara shook her head and gave a small amused smile, rubbing her shoulder. "Let's just get through this."

"Now Babs..." Aiden spoke up, looking at Barbara. "We all know the kitchen is my kingdom. It's the reason why Deej's father keeps trying to adopt me or marry me off to his daughter." Aiden laughed as he was joking in his scolding but serious about his kitchen as he was very particular about anyone else cooking in there but him.
"Besides, you'll be too busy trying to talk Deej out of not making Zo walk the plank." Aiden quipped as he took a bite out of a creme puff. "Hmph. 5.5 out of 10."

"Don't worry I know my part well brother after all I've been hanging around this group of rogues long enough that I know everyone's ins and outs by now" the red Ranger said smiling smugly "the sooner we get the treasure and get out of here the better though I can't stand being around all these wealthy pompous socialites" Zorro observed

Barbara snickered and shook her head. "You're just going to have to make these yourself, Masterchef. Show them how it's done," she said with a smile.
"Yeah, well, Dad won't be successful marrying me off. Besides, you ain't my type," DJ said, shaking her head. She looked at Zorro, cocking an eyebrow. "You know I'm one of these "wealthy pompous socialities" right? I was g oing to parties like this before I was in kindergarten. Consider yourself lucky I told Zekial I wouldn't stab you in the face..." She shook her head and looked around.
Barbara smiled soflty. "Hey, you'll be fine, Delia. We get back to the ship, I'll make you a drink," she said. "But yeah, let's keep an eye out for this Cloak. Sooner we snatch it, the quicker we're gone. I want out of these heels."

Barbara snickered and shook her head. "You're just going to have to make these yourself, Masterchef. Show them how it's done," she said with a smile.
"Oh I will. As soon as we get back, I'll whip some up. I should still have the ingredients stocked." Aiden made a mental note to add creme puffs to tonight's menu for dinner.
"Yeah, well, Dad won't be successful marrying me off. Besides, you ain't my type," DJ said, shaking her head.
"Oh I know that but you know how Mr. DC is when it comes to a meal." Aiden chuckled. "He just wants me around so I can cook all the time!" He said, letting out a laugh.

"No stabbing my little brother until Im rich enough to buy a new one." Zekial said with a chuckle as he kept watching the cameras noticing a particular gentleman in a bow tie and cape. "Heads up thats Reginald Townsend... there used to be a guy alive named William Gates or something... richest dude in the world at some point. That's our William. Keep conversations with him to a limit. He knows anyone's who's anyone and we dont want him curious who we are or why we're here..."
"Hey Aiden... can you make those Graviry Eel things again? They were delicious! Oh snap I think they're starting now!" Marlo said watching from the balcony across from the mansion.
"Hello Ghouls and Gals! Welcome to my humble abode! We will begin our Auction now! First we have our Kartopian Sceptor! Held by Kings and Queens of old! Do I hear 5,000 Credits?"
"Zorro... can you get that for me? Ill be your best bud." Marlo said wode eyed.
"Pay Attention Marlo... jesus..." Zekial shook his head.
"A fine speciman don't ya think?" Reginald asked as he walked up beside Barbara admiring the piece and starting conversation with the Ranger

DJ rolled her eyes at Marlo's seemingly bottomless stomach, watching the auction kick off. "Let's just hope the Cloak comes up fast," she said, folding her arms.
Barbara looked up when she heard a voice, seeing Reginald Townsend. She looked over at teh Kartopian Sceptor, and she shrugged softly. "It's nice. Not really my style, but I'm sure someone'll love to have it sitting over their mantle or in a case in their foyer," the Yellow Ranger said.

"Zeke's right. We need to focus." Aiden's attention shifted between Reginald and the auction as he was waiting for the Cloak to finally come into play. "It should be coming up soon and we can't afford to mess around."

"Well of course there are always exceptions to the rule I don't hate all rich socialites" Zorro said giving DJ a charming smile "it just irks me that people spend so much money on frivolous things they don't need when there are other people on other planets starving and cold you know what I mean?" The red Ranger asked as they waited for the cloak to come up for auction

"Interesting... what is your style perhaps then." Reginald asked softly as the auctioneer revealed the very cloak the rangers were after.
"Here we have a strange yet exotic cloak! I've never seen materials quite as dine as this! It was found in the Kelar District! Do I here 6,000 credits?"
"10,000" said Reginald.
"Don't let him outbid you... once we lock it in Marlo's got the smoke bombs ready... right Marlo?"
"Yeah yeah I got it!" Marlo said looking into his binoculars then spotting an approaching ship in the Distance. He kept his eye on it before his eyes opened wide at the Burning Skull Flag.
"Uh... guys... we gotta be quick... Gnarl is approaching..." he said with a gulp. Capt. Gnarl was the fiercest Pirate in the Galaxy and while the crew had never met him in person now was no time to do so.

"Oh, I'm a fashion kind of girl," Barbara said with a smile. "Twenty thousand."
"You got this, Barb. Just keep focused," DJ said. "Marlo, how quick is "quick"? Give me a time frame please."

"We got Maybe 5 minutes. Bid big homegirl!" Marlo readied his smokebombs as Zekial was at the edge of his seat.
"I remember my first bid heheh..hehe... 45,000." Reginald spoke up.
As Barbara was preparing to do her next bid Zekial spoke to the team. "Aiden, Reginald Plus one is holding a glass of win... sure would be shame if Reginald's fancy suit was ruined by an accident." He said subtly to the blue Ranger.

"On it." Aiden casually walked towards Babs and Reginald. "Finally, business is starting to pick up arou--" Aiden casually swung his hand, 'accidentally hitting Reginald's wine and knocking it onto his suit.
"Shit!" He turned to Reginald, looking very apologetic. "Sir, I am so sorry! Let me help you with that!"

Barbara smrked to herself. "60,000!" the Yellow Ranger said.
DJ chuckled, pulling away from Zorro. "We need ot seal this deal. Hurry up..." she muttered. "We're probably down to four minutes, right, Marlo?"
