The boy scout threatened him. Then out of nowhere, Bates tackled the Ranger to the floor and held the man down,"Black go, get the others escape or help me, I don't care!" He grunted. As I began running back up the steps, I knew not to leave the guy behind, I went back up to the second floor and found Noi still out cold and drooling all over herself. I quickly grabbed one of my Eagle handguns and went over to the railing just in the nick of time to see Bates get thrown by the Ranger, seeing my chance to strike. I fired several shots at the dark armored man, only for my bullets to 'ping' off his armor, but before I could empty my mags into him, he threw a smoke bomb and disappeared like a ninja. Feeling as if he would pounce any second, I slapped Noi with a stack of bills to wake her up, and luckily, one was enough, she smelled her furry forearms before picking up the bags a second time, and soon Bates regrouped with us. When the three of us kicked in the door to the manager's office, Ash greeted us with the barrel of her LMG I threw both her a bag then the Weeblord a bag, once everyone was ready with their share, I pulled out my codex and locked the door to the outside. I called up Ven, who instantly picked up the video phone." G, I got the ship, where I'm taking it?" She asked me, but before I could give her the order. The Gryvain manager broke down the door to the small closet, then dove to my four barreled shotgun, the dragon woman grabbed the weapon by it's handle then aimed it directly at me, putting a clawed finger into the trigger guard. In any other situation, I'd probably be a bit scared, probably on edge, maybe even shocked, but right here and now, I was everything but the before mentioned." Alright. All of you are gonna lay down your weapons and return all of my money." She ordered. The others began slowly putting their guns down, instead of me, the dragon woman seeing me disobey her orders, she aimed it at me." All of you means you too boy." She told me. I looked over to her with a smile growing under my mask before telling her." Lady, you're holding my gun, and knowing my gun, I know how many shots I've fired, right now all I gotta ask is, do you feel lucky?" I leaned closer to the woman." Well, do ya?" Feeling the doubt I planted in her mind, the woman looked down at the gun before actually looking down its barrel." I know there's ammo, I can see it." She told me before pointing the gun at me again." But you can't shoot me tho." I told her. Wanting to prove me wrong she pulled the trigger, and the shotgun made the dreaded click noise. I quickly kicked the barrel of the gun into the dragon woman's face, then took the gun from her scaled hands, once back in my hands, I turned off the safety as the lady dragon held her now bloodied nose." Every firearm owner knows that you're unkillable when your enemy has the safety on." I told her. Once the ordeal was over, Ash decked the dragon woman in the face before she zip-tied her and threw her into the closet once again, I put my codex back up to my ear to finish the conversation with Ven telling her about what happened, "Ven I want you to come in hot, smash in through the lobby with the cargo bay open. Once we're off the planet, we're heading to the warp gate." After the Ausar woman gave me her okay I pocketed the device, I the shotgun under one of my arms." Okay, I just talked with our ride, they're coming in the lobby, we might have to deal with the Ranger as well." The second all of us rushed out of the manager's office, the first thing I noticed was a Peacekeeper shield wall charging into the lobby of the bank. "Ash!" I yelled out." Light'em up!" The Red Ant woman opened fire on the charging phalanx of shields causing some of them to tumble over from the sheer impact of the bullets, out of nowhere Ven slammed my ship into the bank and threw the Peacekeepers across the lobby, luckily the light freighter was small enough to get into the building."Everybody to the ship!" I shouted. Bullets, plasma, lasers, and every other type of ammunition began flying into the bank attempting to stop us from boarding the ship. Next to all of us made it onto the ship with Bates slow dragging behind us, then before we knew it, the Ranger showed up once again with the same motive, to capture Bates. He attempted to tackle the killer, only failing and grabbing the bag of cash on his back and pulling him out of the cargo bay. In the heat of the moment, Bates slipped the bag off his back and grabbed the other end and attempted to kick the Ranger off his share of the money. But holding on tightly, the dark armored soldier only kicked back, when Noi, Ash, and Akira rushed to the heister's aid, the Ranger threw a set of boomerang-like knives that bounced off of Ash's helmet with a ping noise, and dropped both Akira and Noi quickly. Thinking quickly, I grabbed a detached laser turret from the outside of the ship and told Bates."Yo! Get the hell out the way!" Bates let go of the bag as I fired the turret into his chest and flung the Ranger into one of the bank's walls, still holding the bag of cash. Thinking he was going to get the bag, Bate's surprised me by throwing both Akira and Noi into the ship's cargo bay and leaving the cash behind." Let's go!" He yelled. The bay doors slowly closed and a wave of relaxation came over me, I took my gas mask off and took a breath before checking on Noi and Akira, the both of them had light injuries from the boomerang like knives he threw. Ash, on the other hand, was just sitting on a crate now, helmet off and silent, before I could do anymore, I realized I left the dog flying my ship. "Hey Ash double check to make sure Noi and Akira aren't dead, I gotta fly my ship," I told her as I ran down the narrow corridors. Our ship was a light freighter with teeth, teeth being put in at the moment, it was a modified smuggler ship made for speed and eluding PeaceKeepers. As I stepped into the cockpit, Ven had already taken off, and we were being chased, by PeaceKeeper gunships." Mr Orange, hop out the driver's seat and let me fly my ship." "Stop calling me that, I'm not an undercover cop Gaz!" She barked back at me with her Dog ears narrowing, Yan sitting in the co-pilot's seat chimed in," Probably be smart to listen to your boss there Ven, could effect your payment today." The giant told her. The Ausar girl took the ship through a narrow section of buildings and the second when we came out and started flying over water she quickly hopped out the seat, I dropped my bag and jumped into pilot's seat. Ven stationed herself next to the navigation screen and radar," We got a couple behind us, the rest must be helping with the situation at the bank." She alerted us. "Yan get ready, I'm about to pull some slick shit before I take us outta here, charge the forward guns." He just nodded, before flicking one of the switches on his side of the board, the front guns hummed to life." Don't kill'em just scare'em." I told him. I quickly pulled the up and turned it back around to the gunships still chasing us back in the city. Once the gap between us began to closing, I yelled out."Fire!" Yan blasted two shots from the front cannon, making the Peacekeeper ships scatter or crash in attempts to dodge the shots, Once we flew past them again. I took the ship straight off the planet and made a beeline for the warp gate, the second we launched out of the system I cheered and couldn't believe it. "Holy crap did we just do that?" The ausar asked."We just got away with that. Oh my god how?" She asked herself. The dog girl held back cheering as she began digging through my bag of cash." Jesus, with all of this or just a small bit I won't have to keep my shitty job anymore." The ausar girl's eyes lit up." I could buy way out of my contract at the stupid burger joint." As we entered the warp tunnel, the rest of the gang made their way up to the cockpit, Noi collapsed on the floor along with Akira attempting to slump against a wall, while Ash and Bates just leaned on a set of consoles. I spun my chair around to everyone pulling my hood down and cracking my neck." Guys got good news, bad news and in between news." I told them all." I'll let Yan here tell the bad news first." The big guy just looked back to the group."First off the money here will need to be laundered, and the process will likely take a long time. Then, the money will need to be changed over into credits which will be costly, but also take even longer, sadly we won't have a million credits in our accounts, but we will become richer over time." Ash looked over at me with her black eyes and asked." So then what's the good news?" " Easy, while our Benji's are processing, I figured we get actual credits through the Darknet, they won't all be bank jobs, some might be things that are a little fucked up." I told them, I let the idea sink before I continued." If any of you want your cash and to go your own way after this, I'll be willing to drop you off anywhere as long as you don't sell us out." Akira managed to stand himself up and rubbed his head saying." Well Gaz me, and you go way back, and I can't do anything besides this. I'm with ya." Noi looked up to me with her gold eyes saying." Gazi, you still own my contract from Mishka and that other mean lady from Tarvos. I gotta do what you say anyways." She spoke as if she was okay with being in a debt contract. Ash shrugged before crossing her arms." I'm okay for it Gaz it's not like I won't see anything I haven't seen already." Bates was admiring his meat cleaver as he just simply said." I'm fine with it." Ven looked up from the cash before sighing and saying." I'm in, if not I'm stuck flipping burgers and listing to stupid people ask me every ingredient to a cheeseburger." I clapped my hand saying "Sweet." Then remembered the in between news." Oh yeah, the in-between news is that we won't have to worry about the UGC because Darknet jobs mostly are us fucking with pirates and other criminals."
