Chapter 2
The Bank Heist
The team split left the alley and split apart. Weiss, Blake and Yang went behind the bank into the parking lot while Ruby headed towards the banks entrance.
The three members through on their masks. Weiss wore a white, black, and red mask with the face of a boar. It had a blue snowflake printed over the right eye and a small cut over the left. Blake wore a black, red, and white mask with the face of a raven. It had a black ball of fire straight down the middle of the face. Yang had a white, black and red mask with the face of a bear. It had a yellow flaming heart across the mouth and nose. Weiss quickly found the truck that had the drill hidden inside it. She grabbed the heavy bag and saw Blake picking the lock to the back door. Yang went passed them towards the stairs to get to the roof. She peeked her head around the corner and saw a camera. Sneaking underneath it she pulled the cord on it, stopping it's recording feed. A sly smile crept on her face and she went up the set of stairs and looked over the ledge. She heard one of the guards on his radio.
"The camera? Yeah I'll go check it." Yang ducked down the stairs and hid on the other side of them as the guard came down them. He went over to the camera and saw the cord hanging from it. Yang began sneaking up on him when his radio went off again.
"Did you figure it out yet?" The voice on the other side of the radio asked him.
"Hold on a second. Shit you only gave me like ten seconds." The man retorted to his friend.
"Alright alright, don't get so pussy hurt, just fix it." Before the man could reply Yang was behind him and got him in a sleeper hold. The man struggled a bit before he was put down. She set his body in front of the door in hopes it would stop anyone from leaving through that way. Yang went back up the stairs, saw the coast was clear, and moved to the next corner. She peeked around and saw another camera over a small walkway that seemed to be raised up to it.
"Well that's convenient." She walked up to the camera and pulled the feed on it as well. Yang turned her head to see the door to the roof open up, a guard and the bank manager came up, the guard quickly drew his weapon on her.
Blake finished picking the lock and went into the back door with Weiss following her. They stopped next to the staircase as they heard two voices talking and heading up the stairs. Blake motioned for Weiss to stay put as she cautiously followed them up the stairs.
"Put your hands up! Get on the floor!" The man yelled at her. She cocked her head.
"Do you want me to put my hands up or get on the floor? You're pretty confusing right now." Yang stalled just long enough as Blake began to sneak up behind the guard and quickly snapped his neck, leaving the frightened bank manager in between them. He turned to see Blake and his dead security, fear was quickly taking over him until he felt a tap on his shoulder. The man turned to briefly see a large fist hit him in the face and knock him out. Yang rest a hand on her friends shoulder.
"Man, you sure have great timing."
"I'm just impressed how quiet you've been so far." They shared a quick smile, grabbed his key card, then headed back down the stairs. Yang walked up to the security room and put the key card into the door, she burst into the door to kick the sitting guard in the head. The man fell over and slowly started getting back up only to find himself in a choke hold. The life slowly left him, the girl looked back to her friends and nodded. Security was taken care of now, except for the one guard in the lobby. Weiss peeked her head out into the main room, seeing no one but hearing them on the other side of their cubicles. She turned her head to the right and saw the vault ready and waiting for her. She slowly snuck over to the vault and set the bag down. Weiss went to work building the drill, Blake placed down her ECM jammer, and Yang walked over to where the people in their cubicles were talking. She pulled out her gun and pointed it at the two people talking.
"Please just lay on the ground and don't make any noise. Do that and you wont get hurt. You also wont be in the crossfire. I hear bullets are very bad for your health." They complied and got onto the ground. Yang quickly zip tied their hands. She quickly made her way back to Blake.
"You ready Yellow? Red should be in position by now." The black haired thief asked her.
"Yeah we should-"
"Excuse me ladies and gentlemen. Can I have your attention please?" Blake and Yang heard a familiar voice calling from the other room. They started walking over to the lobby and saw their leader. Ruby had a black, red, and white mask with the face of a wolf and two red roses on each of the cheeks. She was holding her gun up to the people.
"I would like to inform you that you're being robbed today, so if everyone can listen and be patient, nobody will get hurt. Starting with the tellers. For every one cop that shows up, two people will die. The cop and one of these nice people. So please don't push those buttons under your desk." Ruby said to the crowd as a scare tactic rather than truth. Blake and Yang came into the lobby weapons drawn.
"So if all of you can get on the ground for my friends here to tie you up that would be great! You there...Mr guard guy. I need you to unlock the tellers office. Please?" The guard got up and slowly walked over to the door closest to Ruby. He unlocked the door and the two tellers came out and joined the crowd of people. A minute later and everyone was all tied up and Weiss came walking around.
"The drill's going. We should be through in three minutes. Should I set up a turret?"
"Well you can, I don't see any need though." Ruby replied. Not two seconds went by and they heard a siren off in the distance.
"Well now I see a need. Alright then. Who decided to push the button? Who thought it would be a good idea to be hero?" Ruby began questioning the hostages.
"Ah shit. That may have been my fault." Ruby looked over to Yang scratching the back of her head.
"I never tied up the bank manager on the roof. I figured he would be knocked out long enough. Guess I'm really no good at being quiet."
"Can't worry about it now. Yellow get those ATM's open. We can grab that cash at a least. White, you should probably go ahead and set up that turret. Put it on the back door, cover our escape. Three minutes is going to take forever." The blond beauty went to work quickly sawing the machines open while Weiss set up her turret in front of the bank along with a few trip mines around the place.
"As for all of you people, it sure would be great if you could all shuffle into the tellers office. It can provide a little cover for you." Ruby smiled at the scared people. Despite their fear, that logic was sound. They started to move into the tellers office and crowd each other. She walked up to the door and looked at them.
"Now please stay in here until the police come and get you." The people saw her smile as she closed the door on them.
"Alright people we've got thirty seconds tops before the cops get here, Black! How's the drill coming?" Ruby yelled to her teammate.
"It looks like another minute and we'll be set." She replied.
"Sounds good, Yellow get those bags near the back door, ready to get out of here." The blond fighter grabbed the bags and walked towards the back door. Ruby turned her head to look out the front door and saw a handful of cops setting up across the street. She smiled behind her mask and walked over to the vault where the rest of the team grouped up around her.
"Vaults open in fifteen Red." Blake informed her leader. The drill broke through and they quickly moved it out of the way. Yang pulled open the heavy door as their team quickly made it inside and started loading the money into the duffel bags they brought when they heard a series of automatic fire go off.
"White let's go! Black, Yellow you two finish loading the money." Ruby and Weiss went to the front of the store and saw her turret go to town as a few careless cops as they tried to make their way in the front door.
"Turret will be empty in about four more bursts." Weiss and Ruby started applying suppressing fire along with the turret. Boom Not three seconds went by before an explosion went off behind the tellers office. Ruby turned her head in the direction.
"Proximity mine behind the office went off. They're trying to flank us. I'm on it." Weiss informed Ruby as she went to the explosion and began laying down suppressing fire on the few cops that tried to get around them. A loud noise was heard overhead.
"Swat! Yellow handle them!" Ruby bellowed over their com.
"Got it!" Yang dropped her bag and ran up the stairs and set up right inside of the door. She watched as six swat members rappelled in from the helicopter. The second they landed she started firing at them. They tried scrambling for cover but the roof provided little. A few seconds later they lay dead or critically wounded on the roof. Yang stood up in the doorway as she reported in
"Swat's down, I'm-" ClackShe put a hand on her hip and picked it up. A dark crimson stained her hand.
"Yellow are you there?" Ruby called to her now silent teammate. "I need a sitrep, what's going on Yellow?" nothing but static played over the com.
"Damn it, White fall back to the vault and load the rest of the money, Black go check on Yellow!" The team did as told with Ruby going to the corner next to the vault and keeping an eye open for any unwanted company. Blake started going up the stairs when she saw Yang fall down the flight.
"Ow. That was uncomfortable." Even after being shot, Yang still had the energy to throw out a joke or two.
"Can you walk?" Blake asked her bleeding friend.
"Yeah, I think I can make it the rest of the way." Blake helped Yang to her feet as the two began heading down the stairs.
"We're set! Let's get out of here!" Weiss said as she threw the bags out of the vault. Each member grabbed one as Yang, despite the wound, carried four. The team made it out of the side door and started firing on the unsuspecting police stationed around back. They came to the corner of the bank and Ruby, Weiss and Blake all sprayed bullets at anything moving as Yang made her way across the street. She threw the bags into the van and set up at the corner of the alley shooting her massive rifle down at the police not in cover. Next was Blake, she made her way quickly across the street and sat up next to Yang following suit. Then Weiss, followed by Ruby. As everyone made their way into the van, Yang felt a tug on her hair. It pulled her down out of the vehicle and she quickly turned to face a fully armored soldier. She began laying into the poor man. Despite his armor, Yang's punches proceeded to stagger the man. She threw one straight into his face shattering his protective visor.
"Nobody fucking touches my hair!" She yelled at the unconscious man then fell onto the ground.
"Yang!" Ruby jumped out and grabbed her teammate and lifted her into the van.
"Jaune you need to drive now! We don't have time to wait around, Yang is loosing too much blood, too fast, now get going!"
Three Days Later
Ruby walked around Beacon and came up to Yang, laying on the couch.
"How are ya holding up Yang?" She asked her injured friend.
"Feel like shit." Yang said into pillow. Ruby smiled at her friends comment. The heist turned out to be a success. No civilian casualties, nearly two million payout in the end, and Despite Yang's injuries and the unknown of a bulldozer showing up. A large payout kept Yang happy, even if she was out of commission for a few weeks. The days we're starting to get a bit riskier, but the rewards were worth it.
Yay! I liked this chapter and their code names. Let me know your thoughts on the masks. As for the next heist I was thinking either a Watchdogs or a Firestarter. Which would you guys prefer?
