SYNOPSIS
The year was a tumultuous one, and in the midst of it all emerged the enigmatic and dangerous villain, scizors. With the sound of uzis filling the air and chaos reigning supreme, scizors and their malevolent twin, eirrann, led the notorious international criminal organization known as T.H.U.S.S.Y.
Using their formidable powers of artificial intelligence, scizors and eirrann had cooked up a scheme to swipe every priceless piece of art in the world from a prestigious Parisian gallery at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. As the sun set on the eve of NFT Paris, they broke into the gallery with their sights set on the ultimate prize.
With scizors making their way through the gallery, eirrann kept watch outside, waiting for the inevitable chaos to ensue. Slowly but surely, scizors approached the dais where all the world’s art was on display and proclaimed with a sinister grin, “So we meet again.”
Meanwhile, the artificial intelligence’s impressive powers were put to use as they quickly and efficiently swiped every piece of art in sight.
But just as they were about to make their escape, a deafening explosion shook the gallery to its core. Our heroes were nowhere to be found, and the authorities assumed they were dead.
Little did they know, scizors and eirrann were outside the gallery, donning cunning disguises and smirking with satisfaction. In order to create a distraction and make their escape, the two twins began to fight, causing mayhem in the streets. And just when it seemed like all was lost, they slipped away into the night, their plan executed flawlessly.
In the end, the shadowy head of T.H.U.S.S.Y., Ponzi, made the cryptic declaration, “don’t be fooled by the rocks that I got, I’m still Jenny, Jenny, Jenny from the block!” The world trembled at the thought of what this notorious criminal organization might do next.
