Thanks for agreeing to it!", "writing": "The sun blazed down onto the city below, illuminating its spires and skyscrapers reaching endlessly into the sky and perfectly arranged in a grid pattern in the city-center with far more organic shapes like semi-circles and more resembling the kind of designs found on traces of Printed Circuit Boards the further you went out to the suburbs, the roads and skies abuzz with activity with hover cars on different altitudes zooming past at breakneck speeds while most of the streets below once populated by cars had now been converted to vast parks and green areas, slowly restoring the balance of oxygen to the atmosphere. This was the pulse of the City Paradigm. Once the sky and space had been the final frontier. It has now being succeeded by the promise of interstellar travel to far away star systems with many citizens embarking on their journey forth into the unknown. Not all of them have such aspirations however as Alan was walking along the pavement of one of the said parks down below. The wind of nearby passing hover cars barely doing a thing to quell the blazing sun shining down on him. \n\nHe had been assigned to deposit a cheque and had been sent out with the bare minimum of directions, the Hyena easily getting lost within the busy epicentre of an extremely busy business district. Dubbed district 7. It was the business hub of the planet with many transactions running in the trillions every single second. If one could visualize all the data running around it would be like the pulse of the planet. After an hour of wandering around entirely lost in this maze after having taken one wrong turn after the other due to the lack of any signage nor any helpful directions from strangers when he asked them ``Is there a bank here?'' it seemed Alan was just at a severe disadvantage as many just assumed it was the closest bank nearby instead of a specific one due to the dozens of different banks all within the district. \n\nWhat many didn't realize and what he didn't have was an Augmented-Reality Device also known as a ARD. This was why he couldn't see any of the signage all around that was posted around the ARD's Interface that he couldn't see, the only aid he had being the people around him as even the Street signs were only visible in the AR Space with it just showing as glass panes while the few metal signs that remained were rusted and hard to read. Finally after a long walk lasting several hours Alan would find himself standing in front of a bank with a large glass sign reading `Willis Bank and Co'. He didn't realize however that he was supposed to go to `Willard Interstellar Banking'. As he walked towards the glass door, a well-dressed male bull waved a hand and the door slid open noiselessly, a welcome chime sounding as the bull then cleared his throat before greeting him ``Good afternoon Mister?'' Alan then responded with ``Alan. I am here to deposit a cheque'' The Bull then tapped on his tablet for a few moments before he then told him ``Cheque Deposit services today I see Mr Alan? Please give me a moment while I arrange for your queue number.'' He then tapped once more on his tablet before a small square piece of paper was placed in his hand with the number `732098'. \n\nAlan was then ushered into the main waiting hall where it was massive, the circular structure seeming more like a stadium than a bank as it had seating all around in a circular pattern with another circular structure in the center made of glass and steel. It contained about 20 different desks of which only 15 were occupied by males and females of various species, all of whom were busy entering entries onto their Biomorphic Consoles, each of them having slight differences as the interface was very much like his own desk computer at work, with the machine adapting to the user, each of them working at terrifying speed, clearing customers as fast as they could. However it could be seen that there were many around him. They ranged from Business men and women all the way to simple desk clerks just like Alan himself, all waiting for their turn. When he looked up he saw a massive rotating holographic display as it rotated round slowly, showing the queue numbers and the data for the most important stocks on the planet. \n\nWhen Alan located his queue number, he would see that he had still quite a queue in-front of him, about 15 people were ahead of him for the desk he had been assigned to. It seemed he would have to wait around while he scratched his head starting to wonder what he could do in that time, the male starting to wander about, blissfully unaware of what was happening in the shadows as a group of furs of various races began their nefarious plan, the lot of them beginning to spread out around the bank hall so as to secure the entire area. \n\nIn the darkness of the interior in a unmarked lorry, there was a loud clack as a gun was cocked, in the dark internal compartment a trio seated in bucket seats on either side of the van, the front compartment filled with weapons of various types and sizes. Seated on the chairs were three female anthros, a fox, a wolf and a cat with each of them bent over, studying their tablets vigorously while they read up the current situation that was unfolding and the basic operation plan. \n\nA loud resounding voice then boomed ``Operation Twilight shall now commence. Pay attention Wendigo Squad. We got ourselves a big payday today!'' The screen then shifted over to the floor plan of the bank as the three looked up from their briefings onto the projector screen that was displaying the valuable information. On the right was projected a list of names, Joe Bison, Nakamura Tamago, Rathun Majo and many others as it was then overlayed onto the floor plan as red dots, the booming voice then continued with the situation report. \n\n``We have received reliable intel that the notorious terrorist group Lagos has finally gone desperate and are currently staging a heist on the Willis Bank. Currently there are at least 10 hostiles in there, your goal is to secure the area and to capture the terrorists, dead or alive. An attached bonus will be assigned for capture of any high value target. Good luck.'' \n\n``Oh a bonus?'' Amber would simply smirk as she continued to plan the mission. She was a work hard, play hard type of girl as she focused on the mission plan, marking out a path she and Ashley were to take as Ashley exclaimed ``Bonus? Oh I want it! Think of all the food and clothes we can buy Amber!'' ``Ashley please, mission first enjoyment later. Ain't that the truth Persia?'' Persia simply continued to concentrate on her data pad as she then gave a response, not even glancing up at them ``Amber is right, get our head in the game first or we might not even get to enjoy em'' She then put down the data pad and began tuning her sniper rifle, a customized Hecate II with a Bipod up front and a Monopod at the back while the scope had been upgraded with a thermal sight and the recoil system significantly upgraded to handle with a lighter overall frame made of carbon fibre.\n\nAmber then turned to the armory at the front of the truck below the briefing screen, drawing out her own personal weapon, a P90, heavily modified at that as the bolt carrier had been made much lighter and had its barrel modified with the equipment required for smart rounds to be fired, the gun able to use air burst shots as a result while Ashley walked up next to her, taking out a SPAS-12 rechambered for 10 Gauge, also equipped with special grenade style rounds as she then turned to Amber. ``What's the plan then sis?'' She asked as Amber took a look at the plans once more ``You and I are going through the front, Persia is going to be overwatch as usual.'' Awwww... Why can't I be over watch?'' Ashley complained as Amber then told her in a very matter of fact tone. ``You can't use a sniper to hit the broadside of a damn barn'' Persia then chuckled at the joke at Ashley's expense as she then Punched Amber on the shoulder lightly. ``Come on Amber! Ash ain't that bad!'' She then looked at the mission plan that was set to commence soon, their van about 2 minutes out from the location\n\nAlan meanwhile would still be on the waiting floor on the bank, staring intently at the screen for the numbers flashing by, waiting for his number to call out so that he could finally get the cheque he spent the hour running around for to be deposited. Finally after a minute or so his number was called, He then got up, walking over to the bank teller whom was waiting for him, fingers poised over his keyboard as Alan then placed the cheque in front of him. Saying in a very straight forward voice ``I need this deposited.'' The bank teller took one look at it before staring at him and saying ``I am sorry sir, we cannot help you with this. This cheque belongs to Shubin Interstellar Banking on 7th Avenue. This is Willis Financial Services on 5th Avenue sir.'' Alan simply stared incredulously at the man before saying ``But I was told to deposit it here. I asked for directions to the bank and was directed here.'' The bank teller then looked at him in the eye before replying politely ``We apologize sir but we are unable to assist you here. We can however give you written instructions on how to get to Shubin due to your lack of a AR device.'' ``AR Device? What is th-`` \n\nAlan would suddenly be interrupted by the distinct sound of a gunshot, followed by a large deer with antlers yelling ``Right Fuckers! This is a Robbery! Get the fuck down and nobody gets hurt!'' As everyone scrambled to get down Alan only could look around in alarm, as the large deer approached him while the other 7 gunmen fired their rifles in the air, shattering the glass ceiling above and raining glass down onto the open lobby, knocking any resistance out of the crowd. Most of the people in the lobby were now simply curled in a ball and simply complying as the large buck shoved the rifle into Alan's chin ``Get down now or I will BLOW YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!'' Alan then complied, simply getting on his knees and putting his face down on the ground, hands on his head as the buck then huffed, stepping on the chair Alan once occupied and pointing the gun at the Teller who looked like he was about to shit himself ``Right you know the fuckin drill. Any cops and we start shootin. That clear?'' He demanded as he handed the clerk a credit chip for the clerk to transfer the bank's money too as he threatened ``Times tickin Mr Clerk''\n\nImmediately the Clerk complied, taking the credit chit with trembling paws, before swiping it on the bank terminal where he began drawing from a designated bank account for such occasions as this one. The withdrawal triggered silent alarms within the system as the police were immediately alerted along with Amber's squad, at which Amber began getting a manical grin on her face as she heard that, her own hunting instincts taking over as she hissed out slowly ``Time for the hunt girls.....'' Ashley and Persia shivered as Amber switched to this personality. Amber herself had always been a strange one, having dual personalities, one being her normal self and the other a blood thirsty savage waiting for its chance to strike and tear you apart. Not much was known about the past of Amber except the fact that she had been in prison once. Where and how long no one really knew as Amber had never shared.\n\n``Ash... Amber scares me sometimes....'' Persia said silently to Ashley whom nodded her head in agreement at such a scene of seeing the atmosphere around amber change so drastically so quickly. Ashley then grasped her shotgun, cocking it as she then brought down her tactical visor while Persia checked her scope one last time before the van came to a screeching halt. They were currently two blocks away from the bank, the busy street helping to conceal the van as the three of them exited the van before Persia split off from the rest, heading to a nearby office building with a direct view into the bank to set up her sniper rifle. Amber then ran over with Ashley over to the building just opposite the bank, a loud whirring noise heard as Amber then jumped 2 meters up in the air, landing on the landing escape, at which she slammed her right boot into the lock, shattering it with her sheer strength as the metal creaked from her weight. The Ladder then came crashing down onto the floor of the alleyway, beckoning to Ashley to get up ``Come on Ash. We gotta get up to the roof and scope out the place.'' Amber then watched as Ashley clambered up, gripping Ash's outreached paw as she then pulled Ash up onto the landing of the escape ladder, before she began clambering up the stairs, each step of hers having a distinct metallic sound to it as they ran up the rusted, dull and dusty ladder, soon reaching the roof.\n\nThere Amber would turn on her cybernetic eye's FLIR mode, her cerulean irises turning purple to indicate the mode's activation where she then observed carefully, handing a pair of binoculars to Ashley at which she laid down with amber on their bellies, peering through the glass upper portion to gaze down upon the central floor as she whispered to Ash. ``I see 3 to 5 hostiles. See the way they are carrying their weapons? From my analysis those should be shotguns, Remington 870 series.'' Ashley took a closer look as she then said softly ``You are right but there are assault rifles too, see the guy at the back? At compass bearing 315? He looks like he is carrying a Russian made assault rifle. One of them as well is carrying a Minimi LMG over to 280. But I doubt he can use it without deploying the bipod first. I agree there's only 5 hostiles in the bank. Looks like there's also a getaway vehicle nearby. See the civilian car on the left corner of the bank? The car is oriented to the nearest freeway and the driver kept glancing towards the bank. Should we disable him just incase?'' Amber then thought for a little as she then said softly ``No we should just head straight on in. That getaway driver is emitting radio signals. That means he is being monitored or he has a radio he can shout for help instantly and if they get wind of it. Its going to be a ton harder.'' She then said softly to Ash ``good job catching those details.'' Before swatting ash's butt at which the girl gave a yelp, Amber then scooting away from the roof ledge to set up a attack plan. While Ash protested ``Hey! No fair!'' she complained as she knew her squad leader was a tease and a slight show off, the female then heading downstairs before simply grinning at Ashley as she said ``Ready to start this fireworks show sister?'' Ashley simply whined out exasperated as she then said ``For sure.... Lets get this done!'' She then cocked her shotgun, before opening fire into the bank, the smoke grenade rounds flying into the building.\n\nThe bandits inside heard the loud bangs, looking at each other to see who fired only to realize that they weren't the ones firing, Some of them taking cover while others took hostages, including Alan as the leader himself began opening fire in the direction that Ashley's shots came from, Amber and Ashley both crouching behind the concrete as shots raked across it, sparks flying and some bullets even ricocheting off into the street behind them which had been closed off to the public. Suddenly there was a loud hiss as smoke flew everywhere, blanketing the area in smoke as Amber smiled manically before saying. ``It's show time!'' She then leapt up onto the concrete, dashing full speed into the building, steam rising off her body from her reaction core at full power. Amber then turned on her FLIR vision, seeing the many heat signatures around, accelerating for 0-60mph in an instant, slamming into one of the assailants, lifting the heavily built wolf up and smashing him into the wall, shattering his ribs and incapacitating the male as immediately they opened fire on her position. She was however long gone as she dashed forwards, shoving her P90 into the chin of one, as she open fired, the bandits staring at her location, trying to pick her out to no avail. One of them spotted her figure through the smoke, leveling his gun, a RPK 74 at her and opening fire, the loud rattle easily heard as 7.62mm rounds slammed into Amber, knocking her back on her butt as she then rolled onto her belly away from the gun fire, groaning as the 7.62 rounds had hit her hard in the chest, launching herself forwards, raising her arms to shield herself as they bore the brunt of the rounds, Amber crashing into the Horse as she snarled at him, ripping the gun from his grip as she yanked it away by the barrel before she used it like a club, smashing his face in as smaller caliber rounds from a MP5 peppered her. She then slowly turned to where the MP5 rounds came from, aiming her machine gun as she then let it rip, Invisible tracer-less rounds firing straight towards the target, the 5.7mm rounds shredding the poor elk she fired at to absolutely shreds, the smell of blood entering her nostrils as she grinned.\n\nAshley would then fire more shotgun smoke shells, the rounds flying into the building and keeping the smoke screen up as she muttered to herself ``Remind me never to piss Amber off please. Persia what do you see?'' Persia then switched her sniper out of FLIR mode as she said ``Amber is a beast as always. 3 down. 5 to go.'' She said as Amber continued her rampage, as one of the remaining combatants got closer to Amber firing a shotgun at her as Amber then brought the body in the way, blocking the damaging shot with the body of a Comrade as another charged at her, screaming ``Nooo! Garrett! Die bitch!'' as he lunged at her firing blindly at Amber while she had no choice but to brace from the shotgun shots flying at her, the male then dragging her into a headlock, grabbing a knife to stab her continually only to snap the knife on the 4th stab at which he realized that the bitch before him wasn't organic only to have his jaw hang open in horror before an angry Amber punched him so hard in the head it was blown away, leaving just his lower jaw as he fell aside having been killed instantly. Persia then opened fire herself, the sniper rifle resounding with a loud bang as she killed the shotgun wielder before switching targets to the elk that had a machine gun, firing and taking his head off his shoulders instantly. Amber then charged for the second last guy who opened fire on her to no avail as the leader of them all had by then dropped Albert and ran up to Ashley, grabbing her gun as he then pointed his own at her ``Better surrender lil missy.... Or this bitch gets it!'' He said as she looked to see that Ashley had been captured, snarling as she had finished breaking the neck of the other guy, his body hanging limply as all around there was just broken glass and dead bodies, the smoke starting to clear up. He then fired a shot in the direction where Persia was, hitting her rifle as the barrel of it Banana peeled, rendering the rifle useless.\n\nAlbert could see the stand off going on, What appeared to be some sort of super soldier and the wolf girl that now had a gun pointed at her head. Albert would then start moving towards the last combatant, a large Siberian husky as he began backing up slowly while Ashley looked deathly afraid trying to keep a brave front for Amber as Amber simply glared at him, approaching him as he took a step back each of their eyes trained at him as Persia was unable to fire at him with her weapon destroyed as she cursed loudly as Albert then threw a magazine at him, the fluttering distracted him as he shot Albert in the Shoulder before his revolver disintegrated, Amber taking the opportunity to fire at the gun before smashing his face in with her fist, Amber having been sent violently the male streaking across the room. He then keeled over unconscious from the impact of taking a full power punch from Amber that didn't kill him due to him being a cybernetically enhanced anthropomorph as she checked over Ashley to ensure she was okay before looking over at Alan as they then left the building before the area was swarming with police, taking statements from everyone including Alan and even the girls giving their statements before Persia approached him ``H...hey... You are Alan right? Here's my number... I want to thank you for helping to save Ash... Lets meet sometime alright?'' She then said and smiled before returning back to where they are as Ashley looked over at him before blushing and nodding to him to thank him for saving her.\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "The sun blazed down onto the city below, illuminating its spires and skyscrapers reaching endlessly into the sky and perfectly arranged in a grid pattern in the city-center with far more organic shapes like semi-circles and more resembling the kind of designs found on traces of Printed Circuit Boards the further you went out to the suburbs, the roads and skies abuzz with activity with hover cars on different altitudes zooming past at breakneck speeds while most of the streets below once populated by cars had now been converted to vast parks and green areas, slowly restoring the balance of oxygen to the atmosphere.

In the darkness of the interior in a unmarked lorry, there was a loud clack as a gun was cocked, in the dark internal compartment a trio seated in bucket seats on either side of the van, the front compartment filled with weapons of various types and sizes. Seated on the chairs were three female anthros, a fox, a wolf and a cat with each of them bent over, studying their tablets vigorously while they read up the current situation that was unfolding and the basic operation plan.

A loud resounding voice then boomed ``Operation Twilight shall now commence. Pay attention Wendigo Squad. We got ourselves a big payday today!'' The screen then shifted over to the floor plan of the bank as the three looked up from their briefings onto the projector screen that was displaying the valuable information. On the right was projected a list of names, Joe Bison, Nakamura Tamago, Rathun Majo and many others as it was then overlayed onto the floor plan as red dots, the booming voice then continued with the situation report.

Currently there are at least 10 hostiles in there, your goal is to secure the area and to capture the terrorists, dead or alive. An attached bonus will be assigned for capture of any high value target. Good luck.''

``Oh a bonus?'' Amber would simply smirk as she continued to plan the mission. She was a work hard, play hard type of girl as she focused on the mission plan, marking out a path she and Ashley were to take as Ashley exclaimed ``Bonus? Oh I want it! Think of all the food and clothes we can buy Amber!'' ``Ashley please, mission first enjoyment later. Ain't that the truth Persia?'' Persia simply continued to concentrate on her data pad as she then gave a response, not even glancing up at them ``Amber is right, get our head in the game first or we might not even get to enjoy em'' She then put down the data pad and began tuning her sniper rifle, a customized Hecate II with a Bipod up front and a Monopod at the back while the scope had been upgraded with a thermal sight and the recoil system significantly upgraded to handle with a lighter overall frame made of carbon fibre.

Amber then turned to the armory at the front of the truck below the briefing screen, drawing out her own personal weapon, a P90, heavily modified at that as the bolt carrier had been made much lighter and had its barrel modified with the equipment required for smart rounds to be fired, the gun able to use air burst shots as a result while Ashley walked up next to her, taking out a SPAS-12 rechambered for 10 Gauge, also equipped with special grenade style rounds as she then turned to Amber. ``What's the plan then sis?'' She asked as Amber took a look at the plans once more ``You and I are going through the front, Persia is going to be overwatch as usual.'' Awwww... Why can't I be over watch?'' Ashley complained as Amber then told her in a very matter of fact tone. ``You can't use a sniper to hit the broadside of a damn barn'' Persia then chuckled at the joke at Ashley's expense as she then Punched Amber on the shoulder lightly. ``Come on Amber! Ash ain't that bad!'' She then looked at the mission plan that was set to commence soon, their van about 2 minutes out from the location

Alan meanwhile would still be on the waiting floor on the bank, staring intently at the screen for the numbers flashing by, waiting for his number to call out so that he could finally get the cheque he spent the hour running around for to be deposited. Finally after a minute or so his number was called, He then got up, walking over to the bank teller whom was waiting for him, fingers poised over his keyboard as Alan then placed the cheque in front of him. Saying in a very straight forward voice ``I need this deposited.'' The bank teller took one look at it before staring at him and saying ``I am sorry sir, we cannot help you with this. This cheque belongs to Shubin Interstellar Banking on 7th Avenue. This is Willis Financial Services on 5th Avenue sir.'' Alan simply stared incredulously at the man before saying ``But I was told to deposit it here. I asked for directions to the bank and was directed here.'' The bank teller then looked at him in the eye before replying politely ``We apologize sir but we are unable to assist you here. We can however give you written instructions on how to get to Shubin due to your lack of a AR device.'' ``AR Device? What is th-``

Alan would suddenly be interrupted by the distinct sound of a gunshot, followed by a large deer with antlers yelling ``Right Fuckers! This is a Robbery! Get the fuck down and nobody gets hurt!'' As everyone scrambled to get down Alan only could look around in alarm, as the large deer approached him while the other 7 gunmen fired their rifles in the air, shattering the glass ceiling above and raining glass down onto the open lobby, knocking any resistance out of the crowd. Most of the people in the lobby were now simply curled in a ball and simply complying as the large buck shoved the rifle into Alan's chin ``Get down now or I will BLOW YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!'' Alan then complied, simply getting on his knees and putting his face down on the ground, hands on his head as the buck then huffed, stepping on the chair Alan once occupied and pointing the gun at the Teller who looked like he was about to shit himself ``Right you know the fuckin drill. Any cops and we start shootin. That clear?'' He demanded as he handed the clerk a credit chip for the clerk to transfer the bank's money too as he threatened ``Times tickin Mr Clerk''

Immediately the Clerk complied, taking the credit chit with trembling paws, before swiping it on the bank terminal where he began drawing from a designated bank account for such occasions as this one. The withdrawal triggered silent alarms within the system as the police were immediately alerted along with Amber's squad, at which Amber began getting a manical grin on her face as she heard that, her own hunting instincts taking over as she hissed out slowly ``Time for the hunt girls.....'' Ashley and Persia shivered as Amber switched to this personality. Amber herself had always been a strange one, having dual personalities, one being her normal self and the other a blood thirsty savage waiting for its chance to strike and tear you apart. Not much was known about the past of Amber except the fact that she had been in prison once. Where and how long no one really knew as Amber had never shared.

``Ash... Amber scares me sometimes....'' Persia said silently to Ashley whom nodded her head in agreement at such a scene of seeing the atmosphere around amber change so drastically so quickly. Ashley then grasped her shotgun, cocking it as she then brought down her tactical visor while Persia checked her scope one last time before the van came to a screeching halt. They were currently two blocks away from the bank, the busy street helping to conceal the van as the three of them exited the van before Persia split off from the rest, heading to a nearby office building with a direct view into the bank to set up her sniper rifle. Amber then ran over with Ashley over to the building just opposite the bank, a loud whirring noise heard as Amber then jumped 2 meters up in the air, landing on the landing escape, at which she slammed her right boot into the lock, shattering it with her sheer strength as the metal creaked from her weight. The Ladder then came crashing down onto the floor of the alleyway, beckoning to Ashley to get up ``Come on Ash. We gotta get up to the roof and scope out the place.'' Amber then watched as Ashley clambered up, gripping Ash's outreached paw as she then pulled Ash up onto the landing of the escape ladder, before she began clambering up the stairs, each step of hers having a distinct metallic sound to it as they ran up the rusted, dull and dusty ladder, soon reaching the roof.

There Amber would turn on her cybernetic eye's FLIR mode, her cerulean irises turning purple to indicate the mode's activation where she then observed carefully, handing a pair of binoculars to Ashley at which she laid down with amber on their bellies, peering through the glass upper portion to gaze down upon the central floor as she whispered to Ash. ``I see 3 to 5 hostiles. See the way they are carrying their weapons? From my analysis those should be shotguns, Remington 870 series.'' Ashley took a closer look as she then said softly ``You are right but there are assault rifles too, see the guy at the back? At compass bearing 315? He looks like he is carrying a Russian made assault rifle. One of them as well is carrying a Minimi LMG over to 280. But I doubt he can use it without deploying the bipod first. I agree there's only 5 hostiles in the bank. Looks like there's also a getaway vehicle nearby. See the civilian car on the left corner of the bank? The car is oriented to the nearest freeway and the driver kept glancing towards the bank. Should we disable him just incase?'' Amber then thought for a little as she then said softly ``No we should just head straight on in. That getaway driver is emitting radio signals. That means he is being monitored or he has a radio he can shout for help instantly and if they get wind of it. Its going to be a ton harder.'' She then said softly to Ash ``good job catching those details.'' Before swatting ash's butt at which the girl gave a yelp, Amber then scooting away from the roof ledge to set up a attack plan. While Ash protested ``Hey! No fair!'' she complained as she knew her squad leader was a tease and a slight show off, the female then heading downstairs before simply grinning at Ashley as she said ``Ready to start this fireworks show sister?'' Ashley simply whined out exasperated as she then said ``For sure.... Lets get this done!'' She then cocked her shotgun, before opening fire into the bank, the smoke grenade rounds flying into the building.

The bandits inside heard the loud bangs, looking at each other to see who fired only to realize that they weren't the ones firing, Some of them taking cover while others took hostages, including Alan as the leader himself began opening fire in the direction that Ashley's shots came from, Amber and Ashley both crouching behind the concrete as shots raked across it, sparks flying and some bullets even ricocheting off into the street behind them which had been closed off to the public. Suddenly there was a loud hiss as smoke flew everywhere, blanketing the area in smoke as Amber smiled manically before saying. ``It's show time!'' She then leapt up onto the concrete, dashing full speed into the building, steam rising off her body from her reaction core at full power. Amber then turned on her FLIR vision, seeing the many heat signatures around, accelerating for 0-60mph in an instant, slamming into one of the assailants, lifting the heavily built wolf up and smashing him into the wall, shattering his ribs and incapacitating the male as immediately they opened fire on her position. She was however long gone as she dashed forwards, shoving her P90 into the chin of one, as she open fired, the bandits staring at her location, trying to pick her out to no avail. One of them spotted her figure through the smoke, leveling his gun, a RPK 74 at her and opening fire, the loud rattle easily heard as 7.62mm rounds slammed into Amber, knocking her back on her butt as she then rolled onto her belly away from the gun fire, groaning as the 7.62 rounds had hit her hard in the chest, launching herself forwards, raising her arms to shield herself as they bore the brunt of the rounds, Amber crashing into the Horse as she snarled at him, ripping the gun from his grip as she yanked it away by the barrel before she used it like a club, smashing his face in as smaller caliber rounds from a MP5 peppered her. She then slowly turned to where the MP5 rounds came from, aiming her machine gun as she then let it rip, Invisible tracer-less rounds firing straight towards the target, the 5.7mm rounds shredding the poor elk she fired at to absolutely shreds, the smell of blood entering her nostrils as she grinned.

Ashley would then fire more shotgun smoke shells, the rounds flying into the building and keeping the smoke screen up as she muttered to herself ``Remind me never to piss Amber off please. Persia what do you see?'' Persia then switched her sniper out of FLIR mode as she said ``Amber is a beast as always. 3 down. 5 to go.'' She said as Amber continued her rampage, as one of the remaining combatants got closer to Amber firing a shotgun at her as Amber then brought the body in the way, blocking the damaging shot with the body of a Comrade as another charged at her, screaming ``Nooo! Garrett! Die bitch!'' as he lunged at her firing blindly at Amber while she had no choice but to brace from the shotgun shots flying at her, the male then dragging her into a headlock, grabbing a knife to stab her continually only to snap the knife on the 4th stab at which he realized that the bitch before him wasn't organic only to have his jaw hang open in horror before an angry Amber punched him so hard in the head it was blown away, leaving just his lower jaw as he fell aside having been killed instantly. Persia then opened fire herself, the sniper rifle resounding with a loud bang as she killed the shotgun wielder before switching targets to the elk that had a machine gun, firing and taking his head off his shoulders instantly. Amber then charged for the second last guy who opened fire on her to no avail as the leader of them all had by then dropped Albert and ran up to Ashley, grabbing her gun as he then pointed his own at her ``Better surrender lil missy.... Or this bitch gets it!'' He said as she looked to see that Ashley had been captured, snarling as she had finished breaking the neck of the other guy, his body hanging limply as all around there was just broken glass and dead bodies, the smoke starting to clear up. He then fired a shot in the direction where Persia was, hitting her rifle as the barrel of it Banana peeled, rendering the rifle useless.

Albert could see the stand off going on, What appeared to be some sort of super soldier and the wolf girl that now had a gun pointed at her head. Albert would then start moving towards the last combatant, a large Siberian husky as he began backing up slowly while Ashley looked deathly afraid trying to keep a brave front for Amber as Amber simply glared at him, approaching him as he took a step back each of their eyes trained at him as Persia was unable to fire at him with her weapon destroyed as she cursed loudly as Albert then threw a magazine at him, the fluttering distracted him as he shot Albert in the Shoulder before his revolver disintegrated, Amber taking the opportunity to fire at the gun before smashing his face in with her fist, Amber having been sent violently the male streaking across the room. He then keeled over unconscious from the impact of taking a full power punch from Amber that didn't kill him due to him being a cybernetically enhanced anthropomorph as she checked over Ashley to ensure she was okay before looking over at Alan as they then left the building before the area was swarming with police, taking statements from everyone including Alan and even the girls giving their statements before Persia approached him ``H...hey... You are Alan right? Here's my number... I want to thank you for helping to save Ash... Lets meet sometime alright?'' She then said and smiled before returning back to where they are as Ashley looked over at him before blushing and nodding to him to thank him for saving her.
