Thus, the fun begin... happy short reading~
On a bench of a certain park (Three days before the heist)
"From the scouting run Sparky and I did, we've spotted a little more than 27 different cameras, a lot of security drones, not to mention the guards." Said John, showing all the various photograph he had collected.
"They also have a direct line to the police-"
"Anti-Skill."
"-Right, Anti-Skill."
An important looking person in suit, the Oracle, smiled. "Let me tell you a little story."
John and Sparky looked at each other for a second, confused. John, baffled, asked, "What?"
On which the Oracle responds with "Just listen."
He clears his throat. "Once upon a time, The Anti-Skill received a tip about 7 big bombs in 7 different districts. They're location are unknown, the bomber only left a number of clue. Even with those clue the search area is still too big. The Anti-Skill then decided to send all unit to search for the 7 bombs, all but about 100 or more people remain unmoved despite of the imminent threat. It was soon discovered that threat was nothing more than a bluff, a prank, and the 7 bombs proof to be a fake. Knowing, all live happily ever after. The end."
There was a pause, then Sparky was the first one to respond. "I don't get it."
"I do." Retort John.
"Oh great, mind sharing your knowledge with me?"
"These 100 or more people or I can say a unit, they're not there to respond to just any call, weren't they?"
"Excellent! Someone give him a cookie."
"Which means, they're there to respond to a specific call, which also means that these... unit has only one task and one task only. That task is..."
"Protecting the content of the bank you're going to rob."
"You mean like some sort of QRF*?"
"Exactly!"
"Well then, this is turning rather interesting."
The entrance to the underground parking lot, CBAC.
"You can't park here."
"No, no, I have a very important package. It need to be delivered to Mr. Takamura immediately."
"This parking spot is for staff only, you have to park outside."
"I can't, no time. Need to deliver the package, NOW!"
They've been going on like this for 5 minutes. Rose and Sparky now growing tired of this as they watched their colleague, Ishiyama, trying to negotiate with one of the guard of the bank.
"I swear, if I had to watch this for another minute, I'm going to kill myself."
"I usually disagree with you. This time though, you're right, this is getting old."
"Remind me again why he didn't just knock him out cold?"
"There's a camera on the gate."
"Oh, right."
A brief pause between the two of them. "I have an idea." Rose propose.
"Yea? Let's hear it."
"I'll distract the guard, you disabled the camera."
"By distract, you mean... seduce?"
Rose stared at Sparky, unamused, on which Sparky's responds was, "What?"
"Can you do it or not?"
"What? Disable the camera?"
"Yes, but don't disabled it, I mean disabled it but don't..."
"You mean freeze the picture feed?"
"Yes, can you do it?"
"Of course I can."
"Great, let's go."
Both of them exit the vehicle, casually. Rose, as planned, is doing what she's supposed to do. The guard unsurprisingly caught in her charm. Sparky in the other hand, watches the whole thing, standing next to the camera overlooking Ishiyama, Rose, and the guard.
Rose gave a hand signal for Sparky to do his thing, but then Sparky replied with another hand signal telling Rose to move. She forgot that herself, along with Ishiyama, and the guard needed to move out of frame before Sparky can froze the footage. So, she convinces the guard to step back a bit and went over the automatic portal.
Ishiyama was confused when she also told him to move, as he was not made aware of the plan. But then Rose just whispered, "Just do what I say." So he did what she said, no question asked.
When all of them were finally out of the frame of the camera.
ZAP!
He just said it out loud to Rose, "It's clear."
Rose then immediately let out a stunt gun.
The guard, surprised, responded.
"Nani...(What the...)" Before he then let out a "BRMBRBMBRBMRBMBBRMBRMB..." Before dropping into the ground, still twitching and having seizures from the shock.
"Okay, I had that one." Ishiyama said.
"Of course you did."
"Hey! Don't just stand there. Get the van in, and hide him in the post!"
Ishiyama with Sparky then lift the guard's unconscious body and hid it in his own post on the entrance. Sparky then presses the shutter control button, closing the security shutter of the entrance to the parking lot, isolating it. He then sends electrocute the panel, rendering it useless for further use.
"There's still two more camera on the corner."
"Doesn't matter, they're probably assumed that guard earlier let us in."
"I'm not going to take that chance. Hey S! Disabled them again!"
"Yes, ma'am."
He then casually walked to both of the camera and proceed with rendering them useless. They're lucky that parking lot was empty with only a few cars parked. As far as the security room is concern, all of their camera is still working. They just had their image frozen, it's as if nothing happen.
Anyway, once all the camera is disabled, Ishiyama parked the van.
The three and open the back of the van.
Inside was an arsenal of rifles, weapons, ammo, and various gears and equipment for the heist. All the things you need to launch a coup in a small country. Of course, not forgetting, the mask.
"Here you are." Said Ishiyama handing over the mask.
"Here's an irony. Millions of dollars of equipment and weapon in this van, and we can't afford a matching mask. I mean, we got what? 3 clown masks, 2 hockey masks, a few military face covers and gas masks, and a... is this a batman mask?"
"Yep, that's for spare."
"Okaaayy, that's weird."
"Just stop complaining and gear up." Scolded Ishiyama.
Back at the bank, hiding in the corner from a camera on the end of the hallway.
"[static]J! Maintenance team here, ready in position.[static]"
"Copy." John sighed. "Here goes..."
He pressed the button to communicate via his comms. "P! We're waiting on your fire."
"[static] Roger, igniting now.[static]"
Classified meeting location. (Two days before the heist)
"What's the best way to knock out their sec. Drones?"
"Why would we need to knock them out anyway, those things are pretty much harmless."
"Harmless as they might be, this thing has a built in alarm system and a direct contact to the Anti-Skill. We need to disable them before moving any further."
"EMP grenade will do the trick."
"Then we're going to need a lot of EMP grenade."
"Or, we can gather them in one spot and knock them all out simultaneously with a single grenade."
"You got any idea Lee?"
"As a matter of fact, I do. They act as a first response to fire, right?"
"I can see where this is going. But won't that trigger the fire alarm?"
"Yes, but as long as it didn't call the emergency services, I think we'll be fine. It's just so happen that the silent alarm and the fire alarm ran alongside each other. What a coincidence."
"So, disable the alarm, start a fire, knock out those Security Drone, then we're good to go to the next phase of the plan."
KRIIING!
Goes the sound of the fire alarm.
"Eh! What's happening?!" asked Saten in alarmed. Unsurprising, she was in the toilet when it rang, still letting all the tea out. Luckily for her, Uiharu and Haruee are also there with her.
"Sounds like a fire alarm."
"A FIRE ALARM?!"
"Ie, ie (No, no), I'm sure it's nothing to worry about." Assured Uiharu.
"I'll go check it out." Volunteered Haruee.
However the alarm only rang for a short while, something in the region of 5 to 7 minutes. It was soon followed by the announcement. "The fire alarm was sounded, but no abnormalities have been detected in the building. The cause of the alarm is still unknown. We ask that all visitors remain in their current location until the cause for the alarm is discovered. Thank you for your cooperation."
"See, nothing to worry about."
"I'll ask around anyway, just to make sure."
"P, that was a bit fast, did you start the fire?"
"[static]No.[static]"
"Wait a sec, how did you-"
"[static]I guess it was triggered when I light my smoke, damn those things are sensitive as hell.[static]"
"Did you-"
"[static]I did. As soon as the alarm goes they just came in one by one like a retarted lemmings. You're clear now J, over.[static]"
"Roger that! H, F, you heard that. Guard the main entrance, start in my signal."
"[static]Jawohl (Affirmative).[static]""[static]Roger that.[static]" answered the two of them one after the other.
Stieg and Neo's where about are right outside the bank, with their own mask on. Secretly armed with a handgun each and a stunt gun, they casually walked inside the bank. However, they didn't advance any further from the door. They simply stood and walked around in the vicinity of the entrance whilst keeping a low profile, waiting for the right signal to start everything.
In the mean time, the maintenance team, Sparky, Ishi, and Rose made their way up to John and Longstride's location carrying a bag full of guns and gears for the rest of the crew. They eventually meet up in the same restricted hallway overlooked by a camera.
"S, camera on your six."
ZAP!
"What camera?" as he smirked.
"Anyone order any HKs, M4s, AKS. Maybe you fancy this DMR, L?" asked Ishiyama jokingly.
It took a few minutes to geared up, putting on combat vest and face covers. Longstride and John pretty much went with the same thing, military face cover and a combat glasses which also doubles as a sunglasses. The only difference being that John, wears a hat, whilst Robin puts his hood on.
"Go and join up with P and O. We'll take care of the security room."
"Roger, we'll go in when you call it."
"Synchronize take down. This going to be fun."
"Just go, hurry."
Soon after the three left, leaving John and Longstride to deal with the security room. It wasn't far from where they are. They stack up just next to the door.
The door was a metal door, looks like reinforced on the other side. The door requires a keycard to open it. Stealing one isn't an option, they didn't have the time. Kicking the door open is also not possible, as it was reinforced on the other side. The only way left is to breached using explosives, which is why it needed to be sync with the takeover of the bank. The explosion is just too obvious to hide.
Good thing John brought some, he puts it in the door handle of the door. His finger ready on the trigger.
"J to all personnel. Preparing to breach."
"[static]O ready.[static]"
"[static]P ready.[static]"
"[static]I ready.[static]"
"[static]R ready.[static]"
"[static]S ready.[static]"
"[static]H and F, waiting on your go.[static]"
"All personnel ready, standby for breach."
John takes a deep breath before, "3... 2... 1 BREACH!"
BOOM!
The door blows inward, taking all the guards inside by surprise. As far as breaching procedure goes, the two men, John and Robin swept in and fired the two Tasers to two different guards. The rest of the guards tries to grab their gun, but was rendered useless by Longstride's flashbang. They were soon easily knocked out by the stunt gun the two men were carrying.
Meanwhile, in the actual bank.
Peoples are whispering, generally getting concern to what that loud bang that echoed through the bank a few seconds ago was. That bang noise however, meant another thing for some other people. That's when Stieg Hauptmann and Neo Ferguson made their move.
They tase the guards posted on the door, which startled the bank's visitors and staffs. At the same time, 5 men, Lee, Sparky, Ishiyama, Rose, and Aengus enter from the back. Ishiyama fired off a few rounds.
He also yelled out in Japanese.
"GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR! NOW! THIS IS A ROBBERY." Whilst pointing the gun to all the people he can see.
All 5 of them naturally started to spread out to secure the entire main hall. The visitors panicked and screamed, but it was cut short by Ishiyama's rifle firing. They didn't squeak anymore when all four rifles were pointed towards them. Sparky especially holding his rifle up straight at the counter's staff.
"Please exit the counter now." in a calm tone. He's pretty sure that one of them triggered the silent alarm. It's a good thing he took care of that earlier.
"No need to press the button. We took care of that."
The crowd was massed in the center with all five people all around the room. Two men, Hauptmann and Neo secured the door.
"Where did you get the rifle?" Hauptmann asked.
"There's more in the van, just go get it later."
"[static]Security room secured.[static]"
"Copy that J, main hall secured. We're ready to clear the rest of the building."
"[static]Roger that, tied all the guards and shove them up here, over.[static]"
"Copy, hey H! Tie'em up!"
In the mean time, back in the ladies restroom.
"What was that?!"
"I'll go check it out."
"Ah, Uiharu! Don't Leave me here..."
"I'll be right back, just don't go anywhere."
"I can't go anywhere, HEY!"
From here on out, the whole thing is about to escalate.
By the way, the whole story line is sort of going back and forth between the planning and the actual heist, just so you know and avoid confusion when reading the story.
Anyway, review it if I did something wrong. As usual, Legion out... Taraa~
