[color=1a7b30][center][h2]Rogues Cashing out[/h2][/center][/color] Once I made it to the vault area, I half expected to see the security guards nude below the waist, but Noi listened and followed directions. After going around a corner and stepping over a zip tied knocked out a security guard, I spotted my pet cat girl and noticed that she was wearing her roller blades, she was going in a circle as a massive drill burrowed into the bank vault's lock. The second her innocent gold eyes spotted me the purple-furred cat girl attempted to pounce on me, only to fall short and eat marble flooring face first, even after face slamming the ground the Noi managed to scramble up to her feet with a toothy brace-filled smile."Gaz!Gaz!Gaz!" She shouted." I listened good and found the safe then I didn't blow anyone because you told me to." I nodded agreeing with Noi before petting her on the head." Yeah, yeah." I sounded like nonchalant." Maybe now I'll let you sit at the table with that dumb ass cat bowl." Suddenly Noi began pouting and glaring at me." Meanie!" She yelled before she could meow more insults at me, the drill began to sound off with a high pitch click then the grinding of metel on metel sound and it's laser switched off, out of nowhere a small blue holographic image of the Steele Tech logo appeared above the drill, then a female voice announced that its drilling was complete. Noi leaped onto the drill and yanked it off vault door before attempting to pull open the safe, only to fail due to her lack of muscles, after watching the catgirl yank on the door handle and get a sweat going, I figured that I should help her before she hurts herself. Knowing that this was a Gryvain bank, or at least owned by one, I decided to take the opposite approach and simply pushed the heavy door instead, after moving the million ton door and Noi's motivational cheers. I laid my eyes on the one thing we came here for, the fruits of my planning and waiting, the planet side cash, stacked at the end of the vault, it was too much for all of us to carry out, but it was beautiful still and the only thing I could do is just stare at the massive blocks of bills. Then Noi rushed in and dove into the money head first, like a cat version of Scrouge McDuck." First I'mma buy a bunch of Rush from my dealer, then I'mma get a new collar and get a tattoo." She began listing off all the things she'd do with the money, as she poked her head out the top of the pile. I strolled over and chucked an old gym back next to the pile of money and told her." First get your braces removed." I grabbed one of her fangs that had a noticeable metal bracket with my pinkie finger. The second I let it go, her ears drooped, it looked as if I smashed her dreams in a single sentence." Well, your cut is your money Noi, you don't have to get your teeth fixed." Her ears perked up and a smile formed on her face." But we first will need to convert everything over to credits and chill out before partying with it." Noi looked bored and annoyed by the fact that she would have to wait before using the money, as I began filling up the gym bag and preparing to open another one, my codex sprung to life ringing off the hook, once I answered Ven sounded panicked and rambled too fast for me to even understand her, after telling the ausar to calm down, she took a breath." There's a Federation Ranger in the bank!" She screamed into my ear. As my ear recovered from the screaming, I asked Ven " Just what the hell is a Ranger? Like a power ranger or something?" There was a long sigh on the dog girl's end." No, they aren't like those lame asses. The Federation Rangers are like bounty hunters trained in non-lethal fighting and are forbidden to use guns besides Arc casters." After being given the shock notes from Ven, I asked her why would one of them be here." They're here for Bates, they are trying to bring him in, or at least one of them is trying to." She told me. I looked down to the bags Noi filled up and put one on my back before picking up two of them." Ven ready the ship I told her over the codex." As my pet catgirl began putting a bag on her back." Come on Noi we're leaving." As we entered the lobby and began heading back to the Manager's office, I felt an impending feeling of danger, and true to my feeling a cloud of smoke exploded at my feet engulfing the both of us before I could check on Noi, an armored figure in all black almost fell on me from the ceiling fist first. The person landed only inches away from my face and knocked away most of the smoke he used to make a cool entrance, once he stood up straight the black armored guy told us." I'm ending this withdraw, and I'm taking that serial killer back to my sector of the galaxy." I chuckled before dropping the money bags on the floor." Man, you walked straight out of a comic strip." I then drew both my Eagle handguns in a flash then cracked a smile under my mask." But sadly this is my comic buddy, not yours." I fired off two shots as he rushed me, with both rounds bouncing off his armor before he roundhouse kicked both of the guns from my hands and knocked both of them into Noi's head. The second he disarmed me, I froze where I was standing, just shocked that he knocked my weapons out my hand and then used them to knock out Noi. My mind was going back to what Ven told me earlier, but before I could think too hard about it, the other side of the man's leg connected with my head and knocked me over the balcony railing. I narrowly avoided breaking my neck hitting the ground in the lobby."Damn, I didn't think Batman existed in the galaxy." I thought out loud. I slowly pulled myself up off the floor only to be greeted by the sight of the Ranger. Feeling angry and fucked up by the fall, I took my knife out ready to do my best Bates impersonation then I just charged him without thinking only to have my knife kicked away and nearly gave his leg another smooch, but in the split second of nearly being hit, I dodged the best I could and dived away from the Ranger." This Bonnie and Cyde stunt is over, I may not know who you are, but I believe you can change yourself, do something better than comitt crimes." He held out one of his hands." You just have to be willing to take the first steps." I glared at the dark armored man offering me a second chance, I stood up and stared him in the eye." Ranger, you barely know who you're talking too, I'm not a guy rejected by society. I'm not someone who's down on his luck on his shittest day. I'm a man that was locked away because I was hope." He didn't need to take a helmet off for me to tell he was squinting at me and wondering what I meant, but before the rare moment could go on. Bate's cleaver struck the ground, and soon it's Owner arrived." Black, I got this one." Bates leaped in between the two of us and ripped his cleaver out the ground.
