This is the story of the botched bank heist that eventually landed Creature and Colossus in the Dark Sentencer.

The criminal crew that would go on to be known as the Unheavenly Creatures, Otto, Nostrand, and Nostrand's lover Nia (a.k.a. Sister Spider) carry out a meticulously planned bank heist that does not go off without a hitch. While Nostrand stays in the bank lobby to ensure none of the bank's occupants make any wrong moves, Otto and Nia loot the vault. Nostrand suddenly hears gunshots from the vault area and Otto runs out claiming a guard appeared out of nowhere and shot Nia, and that the two men need to leave immediately.

Nostrand is unwilling to leave Nia, believing she could still be alive despite Otto's insistence to the contrary. Otto is only able to convince creature to leave by threatening to kill everyone in the bank as well as a woman who happens to be walking by outside of the bank as they attempt to make their escape.

While Nostrand and Otto do make it away from the bank, they are eventually caught by the Houses of the Star Supremacy, and as they face judgment, Otto reveals to Nostrand that he knew Nia was dead because he was the one who pulled the trigger.
