Synopsis[edit | edit source]

Traitor of the Renegades learned of a legendary gemstone owned by the Roman Arcanus Maximus, purported to have magical powers. It was in the possession of an elderly tycoon who so loved the theatre, he had sworn to leave his entire estate to the best show of the season. Seeing an opportunity for power and egomania, Cy-Kill decided the Renegades would put on a production of the Pirates of Penzance. Despite their best efforts, however, the theatre enthusiast decided Leader-1 and the Guardians production of Kafka's Metamorphosis was superior. The Renegades grabbed for the gemstone anyway, but quickly learned its power was nothing but a myth.
