A fuse quietly sizzled as 2 shadows can be seen revealed by it's dim light. One seemed to be a tall woman with a pirate hat that stood straight and still, while the other was hooded figure that was crouched, waiting for something.
"... man... I really should have tried one out before this..."
The woman sighed, then from her shadow, a long thin object revealed itself.
"Woah! Woah! Stop! Don't hit it!"
"We've been here for 5 minutes." The woman states as she posed herself for a swing. "We'd could've already been out of here if we just walked up the front door in 4." She pointed out flatly.
"Yes, we definitely could have, but we- no I would've been boned if the cops came after us, they're actually competent here."
"I can just carry you."
"And the money?"
The woman seemed to stop to reconsider, but continued on preparing for her onslaught. "You can ride on my back."
"..." The figure seemed to think about before shaking it's head very vigorously. "No! I'm not doing that! Let me keep my final shards of my dignity as a man please! And stop that too! You hitting the wall wouldn't end up well for us, this whole place would just collapse!"
"I wasn't going to hit it though, I'm going to cut through. And if not my back... then my sword?"
"Why is that one where you hesitated on?! Look, why can't we just let the bomb do its job? Look at the fuse," The hooded person walked up to the bomb, kneeled beside it and lifted the burning fuse a little. "It's already pretty short, see?" The fuse's light revealed a strained desperate smile.
The woman tilted her head, "Is that supposed to come off?"
"What's supposed to come off?"
"The fuse?"
The boy looked down at what he held, and it was indeed pulled out of the outlet it was supposed to go into. "That price for this much..." His knees collapsed to the ground then looked up the concrete above. "Let me have it for once god damn it!!!" He screamed as tears formed on his eyes.
"I don't really see the reason on why you insist on using this stuff."
The man's head swiveled with intense speed, revealing greying black hair, feral blue eyes and a fierce looking snarl as his hood fell off. "It's about the romance Skadi! The romance of breaking in a bank vault using dynamite, the romance of pulling off a heist plan perfectly, and the romance of getting away with it to do more!"
"... I don't get it..."
"Of course you don't! And I'm goin-" The man was interrupted by a flurry of footsteps from above them. A muffled 'It was over here, I think' was heard. The man sheepishly stared upwards. "Was I too loud?" He whispers.
"Probably. So are we going to still blow it up?"
"No need, I'll stuff the dynamite in the bags, you can... just hit it." He sighs.
Skadi took out her sword once more. "If you say so."
"Oh, and don't forget to wear your mask." He pointed to a black and white mask on her hip.
"Do I really have to?"
"It's to hide your identity remember? And I used a whole day making that, so don't make me see your beautiful face for half a day atleast."
"... what...?"
"Nothing, let's get on with it!"
Say what you will of the Bank of Ursus, outdated as it may be when compared to Lungmen's financial system, it was still quite the well stocked meat locker. So it came to no surprise that some bold no goodoers would come along and try to take some from this sleeping bear's stash. What was surprising however, is that for how long they've managed to hold out against the bear's wrath.
"Reports are coming that the thieves that have made off with millions are still on the run. What is the situation Sasha?"
"It is still chaotic Mikhael." The sharply dressed feline in front of him responded."Explosions, arts, gunfire and a chase. It is a busy day today in Ursus. While no casualties have been reported yet, the scene below us is quite the scary one." That it was his cue to show the carnage below. Holes and cracks on the highway, smoke, upturned cars and screaming panicked civilians. It looked like a war had just marched past this specific highway. He then returned the focus to his co-worker.
"The chase seems to be headed to the city's east wall, and we have recieved a message from the army that is where this all ends. Oh, and it seems we have caught up." He looked down, and yep. They really did catch up. The aircraft he was on flew a little higher to stay safe from any stray arts or bullet, but it was still quite visible. His camera focused on the star of the chase. It was a quick lungman designed car though modified somehow to have an open top for whatever reason. It's two passengers, presumably a male and a female without any prominent racial features, seemed to be quite relaxed being chased and fired on by military grade weapons. "And there's our two rascals." Sasha continued. "These two criminals have been identified to be the same duo who have committed smaller crime spree in Kazimierz that have called themselves 'Eel' and 'Orca' And- hmm... is it just me or are they slowing down?"
He shook his head and captured the chase below. It didn't make sense to him, the walls were still around 15 minutes away. Sasha knew this too. But the car just kept on slowing down, eventually turning to hide in a smaller, more populated street. Their pursuers had to stop their aggressive assault, opting to tail the lungman car with their faster but less equipped vehicles not wanting to aggriviate them and have them cause more damage than necessary.
"Hmm... it does look like they're planning to surrender. Have they been shaken by Ursine might?" Sasha laughed. "It seems that it's a successful hunt today folks!" She looked at him with a stare that screamed 'Are you getting it clearly!?' He looked at the camera and shook his head. With a click of her tounge, Sasha used her walkie to request the pilot to hover a little lower. The pilot complied, allowing him to capture the lungman car stop in the middle of a cull-de-sac. Strangely fitting, he thought. The army arrived shortly, barricading the road they came from with their cars and jeeps. They made swift exits too, aiming their guns, staves or hands at the parked car.
"This is the Ursus Imperial Army ! We have you surounded! Put your hands up to where we can see them and exit the vehicle!" A man with a megaphone screamed. Strangely enough, there was no response.
"If you do not exit your vehicle, we will be forced to use force!" The man with the megaphone proclaims proudly, "So don't make this harder than it needs to be!"
"Wait... No! Please!" Came a desperate reply from the car.
"Then come!-"
"I'm begging you! Please don't do this! I know I planned this but - GYAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" And from the roof of a car, a screaming figure was seemingly thrown out. The army watched in facination as the person made a perfect arc into a nearby news helicopter. Futher screams can be heard inside.
A masked woman with a huge sword on her back then exited the car from the front passenger side watching it all happen. She even struck a guts pose after her companion landed 'safely', before shortly picking up two duffel bags and tossing them after. Finally, she picked up a small safe then followed after, casually jumping into the helicopter a few hundred feet above the ground. The military stood awestruck for the whole duration of the event before eventually composing themselves and releasing drones and calling their air force, eventually of course. They had to massage their jaws for a bit.
