Bank Heist : With Ace and Anomaly
Collab between
@Banana and
@FloodtalonAround three days after the Behir.
6 men burst into the bank wearing ski masks and holding assault rifles, it was gonna be a textbook robbery. As one of them held a bank teller at gunpoint a brave citizen managed to call 911 and let the police know that the bank was being robbed. Along with anyone who listened into police com chatter, anyone like a certain gun slinging cowboy.
"I love busting up a good ol fashioned hold up." Ace smiled and revved up his motorcycle, it was time to party.
Xoxi got on the ground, watching as the 6 men busted into the bank and attempted to rob the place with their firearms. Really? She was just trying to withdraw a small amount of cash so she could buy something, and now she had to deal with this shit? Bluh. Things got even more tense as one of the 6 guys robbing the place shot at the ground near Xoxi, causing her to instinctively yelp. She'd have to break out her fists in a second.
Suddenly one of the windows shattered as several bullets came blowing through, less than 5 seconds later Ace came through the window as well, riding his motorcycle and heading straight towards the guy who shot at Xoxi. He jumped off and rolled behind a desk, just in time as the remaining 5 guys began shooting at Ace.
"What the fuck!?" "It's high noon boys and the sherrif ain't pleased!" Ace yelled as he flipped the desk onto its side and used it as cover against the hail of bullets raining upon him. The whole time he had a wild grin on his face, today is a good day for Justice.
That was an interruption, and Xoxi was face-to-face with Ace, as she was under the desk that he just flipped over. Boy, was it awkward to be right there! She saw the cowboy look down at her and she asked him a question, a bit of fear being able to be interpreted by Ace.
"... d-do you need any help?" As she asked, a psychic hand appeared by her head and gave him a peace sign, it staying there until it was needed to move.
Ace gave her a quick once over, quickly popping out of cover to fire a few more shots at the robbers then ducking back in to avoid the gunfire, narrowly avoiding a bullet to the temple.
"I suppose I could use a hand if you have any to give." Ace then looked at her once again and realised she had no arms.
"Bad choice of words. Sorry about that." "... eh." Xoxi popped up from behind the desk and sent a psychic fist soaring towards one of the gunmen, knocking him in the head and out cold.
"What? Two of them?!" Xoxi immediately dropped down back under the desk and waited out the gunfire shooting at them, and as she waited, she noticed another guy trying to flank the two, right behind Ace at that.
"Watch your six!"Ace didn't even flinch as he shot the guy in the knee, bringing him to the floor screaming in pain. Another shot to the temple quickly ended the screaming from him, however the civilians screaming nearby was much louder.
"Time for some fancy shooting." Ace picked up a nearby shard of glass from the broken window and held it over the desk, looking to see where the gunners were exactly. One of them was behind the tellers desk while the others were slowly moving closer towards them.
Ace threw the shard to the side and popped up out of cover, shooting wildly to the left of the advancing robbers. The bullet ricocheted off of several desks and lamps, going in between the bars of the tellers desk and hitting the robber there right in the throat.
One of the robbers scooped up the bag of cash that they had collected and tried to bolt out the door, but the effort was rather futile as he ran full-force into another one of Xoxi's psychic hands, knocking him onto the ground. As the robber tried to climb back up from being dazed, he met the hand that pushed him down and he was knocked out cold. Quick and easy. All that really remained was the one close to the duo, and Xoxi was grabbed by her hood as the final gunman held his pistol to her head. Speaking to Ace, he spoke in a grizzly tone.
"Here's the deal, buckaroo. You let me go with that bag of cash, or your girlfriend gets a bullet in her skull.""All right. Though I'm curious, how do plan on gettin up out of her considering your whole posse is either dead or knocked out, along with the fact that the woman you took hostage has psychic fists and can knock you out at any point." "Wha-" the man was cut off as Xoxi slipped out of her hoodie, revealing her bra, and swept the guy off his feet with a swift kick. As soon as he was in the air, the psychic fists came into play as Xoxi grabbed ahold of his arms and 'threw' him onto the side of the table, cracking it and making him faint from the pain. The fists then flew to her hoodie and lifted it up off the ground, placing it back on over her body with a small bit of difficulty.
"I'm not his girlfriend, you dumbass." After spitting on the fainted man's body, Xoxi turned to face Ace and spoke to him.
"You're a fucking phenominal shot.""Thank you very much m'am. And I must admit, for a girl with no arms you throw a mean punch." Ace tipped his hat and looked around, he caused quite a bit of damage with his entrance. In the distance he could hear police sirens and he grimaced, this looked bad.
"I think it might be time for me to go. You too probably." Ace walked over to his motorcycle, it had crushed that one guy's ribs and was still on top of him, and lifted it upright.
"You need a ride?" He asked as he walked the bike towards the broken window. One of the men Xoxi knocked out groaned and began to stir, Ace casually aimed his fingers at the man's head and shot him, killing him instantly.
"Fucking criminal scum.""I think I'm going to stay." As soon as Xoxi finished her sentence, she heard a civilian climb back up to his feet and see that the attackers had been taken out and the bag of cash was on the ground, untouched by the two.
"You two saved us!" Xoxi's eyes widened as she heard the praise, but she continued talking normally.
"You sure you want to leave? Those Highs might notice this and ask for some kind of audience with us.""Well then it's a good thing I'm easy to find." Ace tipped his hat towards Xoxi and mounted his motorcycle, riding out the broken window and into the sunset. If one checked the bag of cash later they would find it about 2k lighter than it should've been. It was chalked up to a miscount.
As the cops pulled up, their immediate reaction was to raise their guns at Xoxi and ask her to put her hands up. Xoxi frowned at this, but her frown turned into a slight smirk as the man from before told the cops that she saved them, alongside a cowboy-looking man. The cops apologized for almost shooting Xoxi (and talking about her hands), but asked for her help with putting the bodies outside on the street. Xoxi did this rather cheerfully with her psychic hands, and as a news van pulled up to the scene, they requested a small interview.
"The name is Anomaly, and I'm not much more than another hero trying to do their duty, and so was that cowboy. He went away before the cops showed up, but if anyone at home is watching this and sees him, just know that he's a hero."
