[center][b]Pheonix, Wentworth Bank[/b][/center]

"[i]Fire![/i]" shouted one of the guards, to which Pheonix replied amid the gunfire, "Two." He had to admit as the bullets poured towards them and slowed in the force field, he felt a twinge of fear that perhaps his brother wouldn't be able to stop them all. Still, he held firm, relaxing when the guards ran out of ammo in their rifles and Finn let the rounds fall to the ground. "[i]Have at 'em[/i]," rang in Michael's ears as he grinned under his mask, "One..."

For a moment, the guards stood there, stunned by the display as Finn went on to do his thing and deal with the vault as Pheonix finally roared, "[b][i]Zero![/i][/b]" He sucked in a deep breath, tightened his grip on the blades, and exhaled forcefully as he swept his leg threw the air, sending a torrent of flames rushing towards the guards. As they withdrew to shield themselves from the oncoming heat, Pheonix charged towards the leftmost guard, planning his assault as he went.

The flames dissipated before they hit the guards but the idea wasn't to burn them alive, no, Mikey had better plans for them as he burst through the torrent, slicing the guard's hands off with one blade while bringing the other up between the man's legs, scorching a path through the groin and most of the abdomen. The poor bastard screamed like a woman as the combination of searing hot burns and pure pain reached his brain, Pheonix pulling the condensed plasma from the guard's abdomen, quickly charging towards the next guard in line.

He suffered a similar fate, having been utterly stunned by the incredible viciousness of Pheonix's assault on his comrade. As his own severed hands fell to the floor, Michael simply continued running, dragging the blade through the man's abdomen and back, entrails spilling out as the guard collapsed.

The middle man and leader had the sense to start to reload, releasing the magazine from his rifle and reach for another on his chest, but Pheonix was simply moving too fast. The guard tried to stop the first blade with his rifle, and it did slow it down temporarily, but Michael simply set the second blade up the man's groin and abdomen as he had the other two, his first blade quickly melting its way through the metal and slicing off the guard's right arm. The man yelled in agony as Pheonix brought the blade further up his abdomen, embedding it deep in his chest. Michael would've spared the man such pain but his colleagues had reloaded, and clearly had no qualms about opening fire on their leader, probably motivated by an intense fear and desire to kill Pheonix before he got them.

Michael callously used the guard's body with its kevlar armor to absorb most of the rounds, clenching his jaw as two of the rounds managed to graze his right calf and shoulder. He roared, "Now you've gone and pissed me off!" as he withdrew the blade from the leader's chest and charged the last two guards.

They started to go for their pistols but it was already too late for the first man, who promptly had his head simply sliced off, the body slumping to the ground as the head rolled. The last man hurried brought the pistol up, his hands shaking as he aimed it at Pheonix, "Stop! We can work this out, man! I've got a family for fuck's sake!"

Michael chuckled as he walked towards his final enemy, "You should've thought about what I said before shooting at me and my brother." The panicked man fired a few shots but his shaky aim only helped Pheonix to casually melt the few rounds that came near him and then slice the man's arms off at the elbows. He fell to his knees as the pain and shock overwhelmed him, "Why?!"

"[i]Why the hell not?[/i]" asked Pheonix as he brought his hands above his head, combining the two blades into a single ultra-hot katana. Michael sent the blade burning through the air at the man's neck, yet he felt it slowing, as if moving against force, until he was stuck forcing his entire weight against a blade that wouldn't budge just inches from the guard's neck, "What... the... hell?!"

A voice called out, rather weakly and feminine, "S-top! Surr-ender!" Michael looked towards the entrance of the bank, his eyes coming to rest on some white bitch in green sweatpants and a sweatshirt. She was noticeably strained and kneeling, her arms looking as if they were holding up his blade, as she continued, "Stop... criminal!"

"Who the fuck are you?" called out Michael as he continued pressing his weight into the blade, determined to kill the guard who had shot him. The reply was simple, "Officer... Collins..." Something clicked in his head, a reference he'd heard somewhere in a crowd, about a police officer who had powers too. He relaxed and pulled the blade away the man's neck, "Oh, I'm sorry Officer, I surrender."

Officer Collins breathed a sigh of relief as the stress of trying to hold the plasma at bay was released, but she remained on guard as she pulled her pistol from her waistband, aiming it at Pheonix, "Get on the ground!"

"Absolutely, mam, but first..." The katana of plasma shortened as another blade appeared in Pheonix's other hand, this one piercing the man's forehead. He chuckled at his little deception as Collins yelled, "No!" and opened fire. She emptied her magazine but Pheonix casually cut the bullets in mid-air, "You're gonna have to try better than that, Officer Bitch."

Elizabeth growled as rage flooded her mind, "Have it your way, scumbag." She returned the pistol to her waist and cracked her knuckles. Pheonix simply laughed at this, "You're gonna fight with your [i]fists?[/i]" He was answered as she punched straight ahead in the air, her muscles connecting with her mind to send a burst of telekinetic force into his chest, throwing him backwards into the wall.

Coughing as he slid to the floor, his blades gone from his broken concentration, Pheonix muttered under his breath, "Ok... That was better... Get this shit done fast, Finn..." The black-clothed man shakily got to his feet before forming two more blades of plasma and roaring as he heard police sirens in the distance, "[b][i]You want a fight?! I'll give you a fight!![/i][/b]"
