Plot[]
|
Kenneth Fenwick's words did shed some light for the SSS as they went to Turin in search of Colin Mansion's mansion to prevent The Artsonists from making their next move. As Valentino and Reuss strolled their way into the mischievous musician's mansion, Reuss suddenly asked about the identity of the mysterious man that called him right before he accepted Val's offer. Valentino claimed that he knew nothing about the mysterious events that had occured earlier. Reuss simply accepted his answer and proceeds into knocking the gate of Colin's mansion.
A depressed Colin surfaced and begged the two, now dressed in a fair upperclassmen outfit, to find his missing instruments that was possibly stolen. Taking this as a chance to learn the Artsonists' background even deeper, they immediately accepted the offer and begin the investigation.
Midway through their thrilling task, more problems started to spark as the English militia clashed with the Royal Guards. The brawl didn't last long as Hansel Fenwick (Kenneth's older brother), the leader of the militia, managed to separate the two opposing sides. Following the end of the clash, the two went to ask Hansel if he knew about his infidel brother. The answer did not satisfy the two, although they later proceed into doing something else; trying to obtain the Royal message that the Guards carry. They eventually succeeded, and found out that the Caesar threatened to stop funding Colin's work if his instruments weren't discovered until the next day.
Several problems budgeoned as The Artsonists set fire to the Palio Fest held on Piazza del Campo. Reuss also saw Colin trying to perform suicide by jumping right into the flock of flames. The two managed to save him however.
The catastrophic composer can finally inhale a deep breath as the SSS duo incriminated Helen Toulouse as the perpetrator. The French musician denied that she stole the instruments, until Reuss presented the evidences, cornering her into an insecapable demise. Helen confessed, saying that The Artsonists blackmailed her into doing so, although she doesn't know why they wanted Colin's instruments. As usual, she was sent to the local authorities.
The analysis result of the Artsonists' black flag that fluttered during the flaming chaos was revealed to be made of complex synthetic strings, fibers who had not existed yet back in the 16th century. Since both Abe and Murphy can't identify the fibers, Reuss decided to send the obnoxious material to Darwin. The elderly merchant claimed that the fibers originated from the year 2167, and was made by government's scientists as an anti-flammable material used in flags and banners. Much to the team's shock, The Artsonists actually came from the future.
Stepping aside the shocking discovery, the SSS went to assist Colin in repairing his honor as an infamed musician by helping him releasing a new musical drama performance. Other than that, the SSS also requests some leaked intel the English militia received regarding the arsons' from Hansel Fenwick and learned that they are headquartered in Florence. The Artsonists currently targets the Uffizi Gallery next, and that the leader of the English militia, David Leventis, will be sent there. Reuss concluded that this would be the perfect chance to unveil The Artsonists as this is their biggest act yet; thus marking the SSS' next destiny.
