thrilling saga of Bloodlines of Betrayal: Celestia's Ascension:

The Great Mafia Heist… That Wasn't Supposed to Happen

After surviving the most chaotic wedding in mafia history, Celestia was hoping for at least one normal day.

Unfortunately, normal was not in their vocabulary.

"Alright, team," Kai announced, slamming a blueprint onto the table. "We're pulling off a heist."

Celestia blinked. "A what now?"

Dante raised an eyebrow. "We literally just attended a wedding. Can we not commit a felony for one day?"

Kai grinned. "Nope."

Lucian leaned back, unimpressed. "And what exactly are we stealing?"

Kai's grin widened. "A cake."

Silence.

Celestia stared. "You dragged us all here… for a cake heist?"

Kai nodded. "Correction: THE cake."

Adrian, yawning, muttered, "Unless this cake has diamonds baked into it, I'm going back to sleep."

Kai smirked. "It's Ryuji and Akari's wedding cake."

Dante immediately stood up. "Alright. I'm in."

Celestia groaned. "Oh my God. WHY?"

Kai shrugged. "Because it's legendary. The top-tier, five-star, gold-dusted, imported-from-France, one-of-a-kind masterpiece of a cake. And, uh… Ryuji kinda pissed me off last night."

Lucian sighed. "So, this isn't a heist, it's revenge."

Kai smirked. "Same thing."

The Plan (Which Immediately Falls Apart)

Kai laid out his brilliant plan.

"Step one: Sneak into the reception hall."

"Step two: Locate the cake."

"Step three: Steal the cake."

Celestia crossed her arms. "That is literally just a list of crimes."

Dante grinned. "I love it."

Lucian sighed. "I hate it."

Adrian stretched. "I'm only here for the free food."

And so, with zero planning, they executed their stupidest heist yet.

The Execution (Or Lack Thereof)

They arrived at the heavily guarded venue, all dressed in comically bad disguises.

Kai wore a fake mustache.

Dante had sunglasses at night.

Celestia had a ridiculously oversized hat.

Lucian? He just stood there looking done with life.

Adrian walked right up to a guard and said, "Hey, we're here to inspect the cake."

The guard narrowed his eyes. "I don't remember any cake inspectors."

Celestia elbowed Adrian. "You idiot!"

Kai, thinking fast, said, "We're official dessert critics. Five-star review means good publicity."

The guard blinked. "…Makes sense."

Lucian muttered, "I hate how stupid this is, yet it's working."

The Cake Is Not Secure

They found the cake-a massive six-tiered masterpiece, glistening with gold leaf and delicate sugar flowers.

Kai's eyes sparkled. "It's beautiful."

Dante nodded. "It must be ours."

Celestia whispered, "How are we moving it?"

Kai blinked. "Oh. Uh… good question."

Adrian grabbed the table. "We lift."

Lucian groaned. "This is going to end terribly."

And it did.

The moment they picked it up!

BANG!

The alarm went off.

Kai gasped. "WHO PUTS A SECURITY SYSTEM ON A CAKE?!"

Dante muttered, "Ryuji, obviously."

Within seconds, twenty guards stormed in.

Celestia sighed. "Welp. Time to run."

The Great Cake Escape

They bolted, carrying the massive cake while being chased by armed guards.

Adrian tripped. The cake tilted. Everyone screamed.

Lucian, deadpan, said, "I will end all of you."

Somehow, against all logic, they made it to their car.

They threw the cake in the back.

Dante floored the gas.

Celestia, breathless, gasped, "We did it! We actually..."

BOOM.

The cake exploded.

Silence.

Kai blinked. "…Was that a bomb?"

Dante muttered, "Ryuji knew. That bastard knew."

Celestia wiped frosting off her face. "This is the dumbest thing we've ever done."

Lucian sighed. "And that's saying something."

Kai, completely unfazed, grinned. "So… round two?"

Everyone immediately threw him out of the car.

The Aftermath of the Dumbest Heist in History

The entire team sat in stunned silence, covered in cake, frosting, and a little bit of shame.

Well… some of them were ashamed.

Kai? Absolutely not.

"That. Was. AWESOME!" he shouted, pumping his fist in the air.

Celestia groaned, wiping gold-dusted icing off her face. "Kai, we just got outsmarted by a cake."

Dante scowled, arms crossed. "Correction. We got outsmarted by Ryuji, who turned his cake into a freaking bomb."

Lucian sighed, looking at his frosting-stained suit. "This is why I don't associate with idiots."

Kai smirked. "Oh, please. You love associating with us."

Lucian gave him a flat stare. "No. I tolerate you. There's a difference."

Celestia wiped her hands on her already-ruined dress. "Okay, okay. Let's just never talk about this again."

Unfortunately, at that exact moment, their phones buzzed with a very familiar notification.

Breaking News: Infamous Mafia Wedding Hit by Bizarre Cake Theft Attempt – Perpetrators Still at Large.

Celestia facepalmed. "…We're on the news."

Kai gasped in joy. "WE'RE FAMOUS!"

Lucian pinched the bridge of his nose. "Kill me now."

Ryuji's Revenge (Because Obviously, He Had One)

Back at Ryuji's wedding reception-now sans cake-the man himself was sitting comfortably, sipping his champagne.

A bodyguard approached. "Sir, we, uh… handled the situation."

Ryuji smirked. "Handled? You mean they handled themselves. The idiots literally stole a trap."

Akari, his very amused new wife, raised an eyebrow. "You knew they would try to steal the cake?"

Ryuji chuckled. "Of course. It's Kai. That moron can't resist anything labeled 'impossible.'"

Akari sighed. "So… you rigged the cake?"

He shrugged. "I may have added a little surprise. Just enough to humiliate them."

She rolled her eyes. "And you call them children."

Ryuji smirked. "Oh, I'm not done."

He pulled out his phone and hit send.

Back at the Hideout…

Celestia's phone dinged. She glanced at the screen, eyes widening.

"It's a message… from Ryuji."

Everyone gathered around as she opened it.

Ryuji: Nice try, dumbasses. Hope you enjoyed the frosting facial.

Attached was a photo.

A very unflattering security cam snapshot of their entire crew mid-heist-Celestia looking horrified, Kai grinning like a lunatic, Adrian tripping, Dante carrying the cake like his life depended on it, and Lucian standing in the back with pure regret on his face.

Dante squinted at the image. "Is… is that a meme format?"

Celestia scrolled down.

Oh.

It wasn't just a photo.

It was already viral.

Ryuji had meme-ified them.

There were captions like:

"When you try to steal cake but steal humiliation instead."

"Lucian's face says it all."

"Some men just want to watch the world burn... and some just want cake."

Celestia choked. "We're a meme?"

Kai burst into laughter. "I LOVE IT."

Lucian sighed dramatically. "I hate it."

Adrian scratched his head. "Wait… does this mean we technically won or lost?"

Dante muttered, "I think it means we lost our dignity."

Kai fist-bumped the air. "Worth it."

Celestia groaned. "We have to get revenge."

Lucian gave her a very unimpressed look. "On who? The cake?"

Kai, ignoring all logic, grinned. "Nope. On Ryuji. It's war now."

Lucian threw his hands in the air. "Of course it is."

And just like that, what started as a simple cake theft had escalated into a full-blown mafia prank war.

Because obviously, things could only get worse from here.
