Chapter 18
The Loss of Control
That afternoon, six cars drove in the middle of the city in quiet order, on another quiet day in Tokyo
"Hey guys, check out the fat girl, next to that blue joint, lef' side." Ronnie said on a hand radio to the other five cars.
"I see her. What about her?" Randy answered.
"Wanna bet, she's waitin' for a date that ain't comin'?"
"Knock it off Ronnie. That not funny!" Hana yelled over the radio.
"I think it is."
(She ain't nothing. She's got nothing on me." Angela thought.
The day-hours was short in the winter month, daylight was scarce for the season, and darkness came quickly, even before the 18th hour.
"Tanner, Angie. How much further?" Vincent asked over the radio.
"About another few miles, or 20 minutes. Whichever comes first." Tanner answered. Larry, hearing that, produced a restraned smirk.
"Okay, I got one." Adrien said prepairing a joke.
"A man and a woman started to have sex in the middle of a dark forest. After about 15 minutes of it, the man finally gets up and says, "Damn, I wish I had a flashlight!". The woman says, "Me too, you've been eating grass for the past ten minutes!"
Roaring laughter erupted from all six cars.
"A bear and a bunny are sitting in a forest taking a shit. The bear leans over to the bunny and says "Do you ever have the problem of shit sticking to your fur"? The bunny says "No". So the bear grabs the bunny and wipes his ass."
"Adrien, shut up!" Gail yelled while laughing over the radio.
Hospital:
Rei was under the stress of fear. Lots of it. Just the sensation of it made her body go into natural survival functions, but at the same time she felt phisically hungery, straving, thirsty, tired, and exhausted. She reached for her small communicator, Usagi answered.
"Hi Rei. What's up?"
"Usagi, somthing is happening. Right now."
"What?"
"I don't know, but whatever I've been sencing, is about to start soon. I know Ami is better and you'd like to be here, but all of you have to leave now and get back outside, and be ready to transform."
"Are you?-"
"USAGI, DON'T ARGUE. You have to get outside with as many of you as possable."
Six Cars:
Unfortunitly this conversation did not go unheard by prying ears. Johnathan grabbed his hand radio.
"Head's up guys. The Girl-Scouts of Japan know were coming."
"G-Men don't even know what we're here, or even why. How would a college graduate figure we're here?" Hana said over the radio.
"Don't ask me, I only tell you what I hear."
"Don't worry Hana, nothing changes. Everything's still fine. They just know a little sooner than intended." Vincent said to Hana.
Back at the hospital:
"Ami, we got to go. Rei says something might happen and we'll have to be there." Usagi said to her. Ami nodded her head.
"...Take care of yourself, and be carefull. Okay?"
Usagi nodded her head assuredly.
"Nothing will happen to us. After all this, everything will be back to normal, and we'll have a great big party when you're let out." With that said Usagi and everyone else left outside.
4:30pm: The six cars pulled into public garages, and nearby alleyways. The street was split in five ways. Tanner was familiar with the layout. Their was something like this back home. Two main roads and a fith street that merged from the southwest.
Larry parked the Chevy in the parking lot, and turned off the motar. He'd be a blatent lair if he were to say he wasn't nervous. It was obvious with the way he breathed out in one long motion. Emil was a little more nervious.
"You alright?"
"I'm cool...I'm cool, it's just so damn hot in here." Larry reached into his black jacket and pulled out a small bottle of pills.
"Here, take three of these. They'll definitaly calm you down." Emil took the bottle and swallowed them. Emil gave them back to Larry, who also took three of the pills.
In the Ford, Adrien called over the radio.
"Hey who has the thumper?"
"That'd be me." Vincent answered.
"Listen, you know when, and when NOT to fire it right?"
"Yeah, don't worry about it. I'm good with it."
"Good, cause I don't want to go back home empty handed."
"Yes mommie."
"Cut it out you two." Carlos said over the radio.
In the Dodge, Sarah also waited as Johnathan loaded his automatic rifle with a full drum. Sarah turned off her radio before she spoke.
"Johnathan?" He stopped and turned to her.
"Listen, if anything happens, anything at all. I'm telling you, you are to go to my sister, and stay with her. Got it?"
"Got it." He answered without doubt.
"Good." She said with a relived sigh.
"Okay, it's now or never." Tanner said over the radio.
"We'll go in." Larry said.
"Me too." Angela added.
"We're fine, Angie. We've done this before."
"Yeah, but not in Japan you have. How many words do you know in Japanese?"
"Larry, she's right. If we can't talk to them, then all we're doing is waisting time." Emil added.
"Alright. We bark, you talk." Larry said.
"Deal" Angela answered. I'm in the mustang, north side. Larry cranked the engin on and carefully crossed the street to pick up Angela. The Chevy pulled up as she got out. Rex followed.
"Stop. You stay here, with them."
"Okay." Rex answered without question. After that, Angela closed the door to the chevy and Larry drove across the street again. This time he pulled to the very front of a building, and parked the car faceing outwards, and turned off the car.
From their pockets they pulled out black ski-masks and pulled them over their faces, adjusting the eyes of the mask for clarity. Angela however pulled on, one of the face masks Adrien gave her while at the brick-apartments.
OUt of the car they walked to the entrance of the Bank each armed with an AK-47 in their hands. Larry pushed open the front door as larry threw an empty duffle-bag in the middle of the floor.
"EVERYBODY DOWN!!"[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! ]
The first gunman rattled his AK up into the ceiling. Everybody inside the bank panicked and practically froze. The bank tellers, the people, and security gurads.
"HEADS DOWN!!" [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
The second gunmen swung his AK form side to side, emptying half his AK into the walls. The people inside, seeing that gun point right at them made them lay flat on the floor. The gunfire echoed inside the solid walls of the bank. If you didn't bring ear protection in that moment, you were a little deaf for a while.
<Stay down! Move and you're dead!> Angela yelled. At everyone.
The other men in women in the other cars also heard the gunfire.
"Well...nothin' to do 'till later." Ronnie said from the backseat of the Ford.
"Yep." Regina answered. Adrien pulled a CD player from the glove box and put the earphones on for some music, to pass the time.
"Man I'd kill for a drink about now." Ronnie said.
Back inside the bank the second gunmen walked towards the teller door that lead behind the counter. It only took one failed attempt to turn the door-knob, for him to raise his Ak again.[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] The locked door was left dangeling on it's hinges. He kicked the door twice to get it out of his way. Angela followed directly behind him.
"You, get up!" He yelled at the only man in a suit, hiding behind a water cooler.
<You behind the cooler, Get over here!> Angela translated. But the man didn't move, and even tried hiding further behind the cooler. Angela may only have been half the gunman's size, but she was just as feirce. She stormed over to the scared man.
<I SAID GET OVER HERE!> She grabbed him by the top of his hair and yanked him up to his feet, pressing the gun barrel into his back.
<MOVE! TO HIM!>
The gunman grabbed the bank worker and shoved him over to a steel, interlocking, security fence.
"Open it!" The gunman shouted
<OPEN IT!> Angela translated.
<"I can't"> The bank worker said
<Why not?>
<"I-It only opens twice a day. It's controled by a computer, so it won't open for another three hours."> The bank worker was only doing what he was trained to do. Stall for time for the police to arrive, and to protect the money. Unfortunitly that answer made Angela all pissed.
<LIAR!>
She whipped the metal wire stock of her AK across his neck, knocking him down. She dived down on top of him and started punching his back, the side of his head. She grabbed him by the belt and stood up with every ounce of strength she had, throwing him aginst the wall. She whipped her elbow across his face, knocking him down again. He spit out two teeth as a small blood stream trickled out his mouth.
<Open it!>
He raised his hands in surrender
<"okay, okay. Please, just don't hurt me.">
<NOW!>
<"Yes, I need a second set of keys. I can't open it with just mine.">
<Who has them?>
<"Mrs.Inafumi the Bank Manager.">
<INAFUMI, WHERE ARE YOU!?> Angela yelled. She left the gunman's side and wandered around the bank.
<INFAFUMI, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" She walked to the other side of the room. Half of the bank tellers were women, but all of them just saw this clad-in-black, AK-welding, faceless monster approching.
<INAFUMI, DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF! WHERE ARE YOU?!> Angela saw one of the female tellers laying in front of her, crying. In fact they all were, and by now she was begining to lose her temper. [KakKakKakKak!!] A short burst from her AK got their attention.
<I WANT INAFUMI, THE BANK MANAGER! RIGHT-FUCKING-NOW!> And again no one answered her demand.
"Hey, get me one of those rental-cop from over there." The first gunman in the center area, walked over to one of the two security guards and moved him to Angela at gun point.
<INAFUMI?> [KakKakKakKak!!] The security guard was shot dead in the back.
<"STOP IT! Please, just stop it. I'm Mrs.Inafumi."> Angela was a little mad at herself. Not seeing the most obvious person in the group, wearing a festive red and green bussness dress.
<GET THE FUCK OVER HERE!>
<"Okay, just stay calm. No reason to get excited. I have the keys"> She said as she felt her insides quiver like jelly
"Hurry up bitch." The first gunman said. Angela jabbed her gun in her back to hurry her. The first gunman grabbed her by her blazer and pulled her, then pushed her to the bank security gate to the second gunman.
<Keys!> Angela demanded. Inafumi submitted the security keys to Angela. The second gunman then forced her down on the ground next to the other man.
<STAY DOWN, AND SHUT-UP!> Both Angela and the gunman, inserted the keys into the seperated locks, and opened the security gate.
<"I can't belive you just let them have the bank keys so easly."> Mrs.Inafumi said to her employee.
Unfortunitly Angela also heard that. Without warning, she fiercely kick the woman stright on top of her head. It didn't kill her, but she'd be living the rest of her life through a feeding tube. After having to scream her lungs off at her name, she wasn't in the mood to repeat herself.
"Get someone else."
Angela turned around back to the tellers.
<YOU WITH THE HAT! GET UP HERE!> At first the young man she ordered didn't move.
<DON'T MAKE COME BACK THERE AND GET YOU. NOW GET UP HERE!> Then he stood up and walked over to her.
<FASTER. I'M NOT PAID BY THE HOUR HERE, MOVE IT!> He eventualy made it withen arms reach of the larger gunman who shoved the empty duffle bag in his hands and shoved him in the unlocked money room.
<"Okay, take it easy."> He said.
"Shut up, and fill it up." The second gunman said. The bank teller didn't understand him, but after hearing the woman yell at everyone else, he understood they wanted money. He first walked to one side of the room.
"Not those, do this one!" He was pulled by the collar of his shirt and redirected to a semi-opened money container.
Back outside, all the other men and women saw the gathering of the local law-enforcment.
"Larry?" Adrien called on the hand radio
"What?" Larry answerd back over his radio-mic under his mask.
"I thougt it'd be just good, and polite of me to inform you of your arriving company."
"Yeah? How many?" Larry asked without an ounce of concern.
"About thirty of them."
"What? It hasn't even been ten minutes. How'd they get here so fast?"
"It ain't L.A. But their's one piece of news you'll like."
"What?"
"Well, I can't read japanese, but I can see a few vehicals that look a lot like news vans. They've been here for a few minutes, just milling around."
"Thanks for the update."
While sheer terror trampled inside the bank, The Sailor Scouts were also on the way to the same bank.
A Bank-robbery by itself would've got their attention just as much anything, but it was when they all heard-
"Tall figures in black, wearing black face masks." By the News Reporter.
That simple discription was all they needed to hurry as fast as they could. Mamoru, Michiru, and Setsuna drove three cars into town and to the Bank. All the Scouts were transformed and ready for a fight. Amy was also looking to kill one of them.
"Why do you think they're going after a bank?" Usagi asked Mamoru, who drove.
"I don't know. It's always something new with them." He thought he had them figured out, but doing a complete 180 and robbing a bank? It didn't make any sence.
"They're after something. I just wish I knew what it was."
"Me too."
Everyone was in bad shape. It was sheer loyalty and commitment that everyone else followed along.
(What if I have to fight him again?) Sailor Neptune thought.
(What if I have to fight that monster?) Sailor Jupiter thought.
(But what if he tries to kill another one of us, like they did with Ami?) Sailor Venus thought.
(Even if we have to fight them, how do we hurt them?) Even calm and collected, Sailor Pluto thought with a hint of fear.
(It takes so much of us to even stop them, and it's not even for long.) Sailor Moon thought to herself.
(I wonder if my friends can stand for long aginst them.)
Amy, sat quietly in the back-seat waiting for the motion of the car to stop. The unspoken signal to get out and attack.
(They only attacked in intervals of less than a week, then vanish. No one else did that. Berryl was a sadistic, dolled-up, peice of trash. Dead. She let herself get to herself. Got herself killed. Everyone preety much did the same thing... huh, why would they try so hard at first to kill Ami? They seem capable of doing the same to everyone else. Just one of them...)
She had a thought, but it left her. She didn't even try recalling it. Something was familiar. Something almost naturally familiar. In between the radio news, the driving, the look of panic on her friends faces.
(Wait a minute. Why does it feel like, I've done this before?)
"Usako? Can you tell the others were almost to where they are?" Mamoru had a bad feeling about approching the bank, and at least wanted everyone else to know it was almost time to fight.
Usagi opened her communicator to everyone.
"We're almost there. So get ready, because with any luck, we might be able to at least defeat one of them." Not even waiting for an answer she turned it off. It was hard for her to say it, knowing her friends were hurt as much as they were, and follwed her so faithfully.
Grey Dodge:
Again, Usagi's words were heard by prying ears.
"Girl Scouts are almost here. Wrap up whatever you're doing inside." Johnathan said over his hand radio to Larry, Emil, and Angela.
Sarah heard that. [CLICK-SHLACK!] She chambered a round into the FAL resting between her legs.
Bank:
"Get these people in the vault." The first gunman said.
<EVERYBODY UP! ON YOUR FEET, AND IN THE VAULT! MOVE-MOVE-MOVE!> Angela shouted. In slow motions the bank workers and people rose to their feet and were hearded into the cramped vault at gunpoint.
<Hurry-up, MOVE!> Eventually all 38 people were contained in the one small room.
"Alright, grab the bag. We're out of here." The first gunman said
"Cops. How many of them are out there?" He asked into the mic.
"50 at least. There's more than that though, from what I'm hearing." Johnathan answered.
"Whatever you're doing in there, has to end. otherwise you'll be stuck in there."
"Yeah-yeah, we're leaving. We're leaving now."
Daylight was retreating. The only light that was left was the hue of a orange sunset, approching dark-blue night sky, and a few street lamp-posts.
Outside the bank in the main parking lot were dozens of police officers. Barricades were set up, helicopters circled overhead, eight news vans had arrived and constantly updated their viewers with up-to-the-minute information about the armed robbery.
At that moment, over 100 million Japanese homes tuned on that moment on their TV's. Over 2 million work-places tuned their TV's and radios to the bank robbery in progress.
Over 150 police officers were on the scean of the crime, and others were heading their as ordered. They were all well trained, but nothing could have prepaired them for this.
One officer looked up while talking to his Captain...He was rendered speechless. As if the air was stolen away from him. His captian also looked at what he saw, and his heart skipped 3 or 5 beats seeing them.
Other officers in quick order stopped what they were doing, stairing in dumb-founded awe of the three that walked out.
The Captian eased his hand to the bullhorn in an automatic reflex, but forgot what to say.
The three gunmen looked from side to side, seeing they were surrounded on all sides, by every manner of resistance Japan's finest could provide.
<"This is the Police.... Put down your gun, lay down, a-and out your hands behind your head...We will not resist useing force on you."> The captain said.
"Sounded like a challenge to me." Angela said quietly to the other two."
<"I repeat. Drop your weapons, and surrender."> The Captian really wasn't sure what else to say beyond that.
Then it started.
[KakKakKak!!] A short burt of fire at first, got their sudden attention.
[KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKak!!] The three of them opened up on all the police.
[KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKa kKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKak!!]
Policemen dived for any and every cover they could find. rounds hit their little Honda patrol cars with such force it rocked them back and forth on impact
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak-Ka kKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKak!!]
They leaned on the triggers and swing their AK's back and forth from side to side.
An officer scammbled to his hands and knees and his behind his patrol car. sudden'y he heard at first a sound of wet bone suddenly being shattered, he looked down just as a second round tore from behind him through his car and throgh his chest again. He fell dead befor he hit the ground.
[KakKakKakKak KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakakKakKak-KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
Rounds were poured out with no reguard, and without reservation. An officer laying flat on the ground behind a car had a good view of the gunmen and cocked his revolver and made careful aim at one of them.
(Got you.) [Bang!] A solid hit in the chest only made the one he shot, turn to him.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] He car provided no protection aginst the AK-47 as it was torn to scrap metal in a few seconds. The rounds shreaded thorugh the car, killing the cop behind it.
[Bang!] Another cop on the other side shot at one of the gunman's upper leg.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] He couldn't figure who attempted to shoot his leg, but he just continued fireing anyway.
[Bang!Bang-Bang!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak KakKak!!] Fire was returned with fire, no matter how small it was. The layers of body-armor the gunmen wore soaked up the small caliber rounds the Japanese Police were only provided. This was beyond their training, beyond insanity. They were taught people like this avioded the police and would first make a attempted getaway in a car. Not start off with automatic fire.
Gunfire was heard over a mile away. People wandered outside to hear it better. It was nothing like they'd ever heard on TV. The way it echoed from the distance, in short bursts. The way it trailed in long rattles.
Closer to the shootout, was a different story. Gunfire roared with a dominating rattle, the way the sound bounced off the walls of buildings made it seem like it was right next door.
[KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak!!]
The three gunman continued fireing at anyone who caught their attention.
"Son-of-a-bitch! Why don't they leave?!" Larry yelled to himself.
"My money is on fear. They don't want to get shot, but they don't want to leave either. They're damned if they do, they're damned if they don't." Angela answered.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
"It's not like were blocking the streets out of here." [Bang!] He got shot in the shoulder, but shrugged it off.
"They can any time they want." [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] [KakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] The sky was much darker now. Any sign of the sun that day vanished, as the cold dark blue sky took over the land. It was down to nearly 15 degrees on the streets as the three gunmen threw the hot lead into everything that moved. Searing hot brass fell on the concrete with random chiming.
[Bang!]
"HEY!" Angela was shot in the throat. Her eyes widened under her mask.
(Who did that?) [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
The five cars that were nearest her were turned into swiss cheese.
(Wanna kill me? Gotta earn it.) Unsure if she killed the one that shot her, she focused her attention there for now. [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] [Bang!] Again she was shot in her leg.
Officers remained behind anything they found. None of them figured out, their patrol cars didn't protect them. A lot of police men were getting shot because of it too.
Street lamp-posts, and bussness buildings provided the only light to the chaos. It didn't help, but at least the officers could see who was shooting at them, and from where.
Finally Sailor Moon and the others arrived... to a warzone.
"Oh my God..." She said with an overwhelmed sensation.
"What.. what's going on?" Neptune said. Still able to reserve herself, but still in awe of the Hell she knew they were going to have to enter.
"Oh God, look, there." Jupiter pointed to the occupied street. Nearly a dozen officers were shot and laying in agony, or dead in the street.
"Oh God we have to help them." But all it took was hearing that rattleing gunfire to kick that thought out.
"Wait look." Tuxedo Kamen. Pointed at the front of the bank.
"There's three of them."
"Three? Since when have their been three of them? We can't even deal with one of them. Why three, Where did that one come from?" Venus asked.
"Calm down. Let's focus our efforts on helping the wounded police off the street." Pluto added.
Amy however was far from calm, she was as far from calm as possable. The muscles in her body were already tightening up. Her heart was already beating so damn fast. Her lungs sucked in air greedly from the night sky trying to keep herself cool. She was sweating, alot too. 15 degrees in the open night air, and she was sweating so much, strands of hair stuck to the brow of her head, and her neck.
However in a black mustang, only twenty feet behind Mamoru's parked car. Tanner, Randy, and Rex saw them exit their cars.
"Guys, heads up. They're here. They're right in front of me." Tanner said over his radio.
Angela also heard.
"Rex, do NOT Pursue." [Bang!] She was shot in the stomach again
"DAMMIT!" [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
"Just wait a bit. Wait till they're closer to the killzone." Regina said to them. [Shlick-Clack!] Tanner chambered the RPD machine-gun. [Click-Clack!] Ronnie chambered a shell in the shotgun. [Shlick-Clack!] Rex, the Thug, also made ready the FAL. Eveyone also put on their black ski-masks, knowing it was only a matter of time before all hell was going to break loose.
"Let'em move up near the cop line. Then open up on them."
"Stop it, I'm all giddy." Tanner said jokingly.
At the Bank parking lot, in the middle of Hell. The Sailor Scouts found out preety quickly, moving from one place to another in the middle of being shot at, wasn't as easy as it looked in the movies. Bullets wized by their heads, and would hit metal objects creating sparks. They saw the wounded on the ground, many of whom were bleeding badly. Without a word, Each of them went out in the middle of the parking-lot. To bring back any wounded police-men. Venus was practically on all fours crawling behind each car to the first wounded man.
She crawled behind one car and to the other reaching the wounded police man.
"It's okay, I'm here. You'll be alright."
"You're sa..v.." The police man was barely able to speak. His pain was overwhelming. Like glowing, red, hot nails were in him. He was cold to the touch, not because of the weather, but because of all the blood he lost. She looked behind her and saw a traffic barricade made of cinder-blocks.
(That'll do.) Her strength as a sailor Scout gave her all she needed to carry the police man over behind it.
"Rest here, you'll be okay." She said.
"Thank-" A spray of blood from his stomach, and a shot of pain, cut his thanks short as an AK round hit him. Venus couldent belive it. Even behind solid, cinder blocks, they wern't safe.
"Guys, you're not going to like this. But whatever they're shooting is tearing everything apart. I don't think we can help them." She said over her communicator
"What?!"
"I just put a officer behind this big thick wall, and he was shot from behind it. We don't have anything to hide behind."
No sooner she finished saying that, all hell broke loose.
"LIGHT THEM UP!!" Somebody shouted on the radio.
13 men and women in black ski-masks got out of their cars. Vincent raised his first, straight at Amy.
[Thump-BOOM!!] The launched grenade exploded directly on her back. It sent everything and everyone flying away from her with such force. All anyone could hear was a high pitched whisteling sound for awhile.
Eveyone else not affected by the explosian looked behind. 13 clad in black people wearing ski-masks, and carrying all types of weapons.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] [tattattattattattattattattat!!] [Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak!!] [POOM!! Click-Clack POOM!!] Eveyone one of the 16 gunmen fired. Not even so much they were shooting at the police men, now that sailor Scouts became their targets. From all sides they closed in.
[Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak -Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Ka k-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak!!]
It was no longer about attempting to arrest the armed men anymore. Now all the police men wanted to do was get out alive.
<"Get headquartes on the radio. Tell them to send anything to get us out of here.">
<"Sir my radio dosen't work!"> [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
<"I can't get anyone.">
<"What?!">
<"Mine either!> Another answered
<"None of our radios work!" Another answered.
<"No. This isn't happening.">
[POOM!! Click-Clack] [tattattattattattattattattat!!] [POOM!! Click-Clack POOM!! Click-Clack] [tattattattattattattattattat!!]
Unrestricted amounts of firepower rattled off never giving a moment of rest to anyone.
(Their's so many of them.) Sailor Moon thought. She got her communicator out to call Rei. But after turning it on, all she got was a dead signal.
(What?..)
"Jupiter! Call Rei! She might know something."
"Right!" Jupiter also tried activating her communicator. but only got the same dead air.
"Mine dosen't work!" She said with horrified realisation.
Amy's vision was begining to clear as she layed on the ground.
(What the hell was that?) She got up on her hands and knees from a pool of her own blood and covered in dirt. Finally on her feet, and her wounds had closed from the explosion. She looked around confused for a second, then saw the bussness end of shotgun again. [POOM!! Click-Clack] The shot caused her to spin on her feet. [POOM!! Click-Clack] The next round hit her chest and slammed her back down on her back.
"ARGUH!!" She bolted up on her feet. [POOM!! Click-Clack] [Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Ka k-Kak-Kak-Kak!!] She ran at the two gunmen shooting her. [POOM!!] [Thump-BOOM!!] The 12 gauge slowed her down, the launched grenade knocked her out seanseless.
Venus had a plan.
(It's just the guns their shooting that the problem. Okay.)
"Venus Love-me-Chain!!" The energized chain shot from her finger tip and wrapped around the middle of a gun.
"Got you!" She yanked hard and toppling the gunman off his feet, but the gunman refused to give up his gun so easly. He propped his feet as he passed a car and was no longer pulled. Unfortunitly Venus' energized chain glowed brightly in the dark, so everybody saw where she was.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKa kKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakK akKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-K ak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak!!][tattattattattatta ttattattattattattattattattattattattat!!][Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Ka k-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak!!] They emptied at least over 200 rounds at her in only a few seconds. She was hit over two-dozen times. Only the fact she was transformed, prevented her death, but it still hurt like hell. Venus' chain dissapered after she went down, and the gunman simply knelt up behind the car and resumed fireing.
At this point all the police men stopped trying to shoot at the gunmen and just stay low to the ground or hid behind solid walls. Who could blame them?
Amy was getting up again Just as furious as before, and even more as stood upright.
[Thump-BOOM!!] Again she was kocked down and back in a violent explosian. Her wounds were wide open, and she lost plenty of blood. Even with her ability to heal quickly, it was as if she couldn't heal fast enough.
Sailor PLuto wasn't being shot at for a moment, and decided to exploit the moment.
(I can do this.)
"Dead Scream." Her energy projectal travled to a reletavly close group of the gunmen. A masked gunman stepped up in front, ran towards it, and kicked it up and away. [BOOM!!] It exploded in mid-air but still knocked down the rest of the clustered gunmen.
[Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak -Kak-Kak!!] [tattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattat!!][Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak- Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak!!] [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKa kKakKakakKakKak!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKa kKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] [Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Ka k-Kak-Kak-Kak!!] Pltuo barely put her time-staff down to recover from her attack, and they poured the fire on her. OVer 300 rounds emptyed just on her, with plenty to spare.
"MOVE 'ROUND RIGHT!!" One of the gunmen yelled like a horrible, vicious animal. His voice was just as scarry as the gunfire. All 16 gunmen advanced away from their cars that acted as cover and moved in. The Gunmen close to the bank doors just moved to the side, and were joined by a fourth.
The first gunman was acctualy running low on his reserve of ammunition for his AK. He walked to the Chevy, opened the trunk, dumped the AK with the ammunition belt pack. He pulled out a different belt pack and pulled out a FAL.
"You want some?" He said taunting the hiding police-men with his hand.
[KrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrak!!]
"Come on Pigs!" [KrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrak!!]
"I see you, I got more for you!" [KrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrak!!]
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][KrakKrakKrakKrak KrakKrakKrakKrakKrak!!]
Amy was haveing the hardest time getting up, she had an idea. It occured to her while her blown open ribs were healing themselves. Before her wounds closed, she sprung to her hands and feet and quickly crawled on the ground behind anything standing. Gunfire all around her rattling off to a trance-like repetition. As if it would never end.
(Got to get to Sailor Moon.) She found her more quickly than she thought as she pulled a officer into an alley
"Sailor Moon. We have to leave!"
"Are you kidding? We have to help the police, or they'll be killed."
"They'll be killed anyway if we stay."
"What?
"We need to at least seperate them. Then we can deal with them a few at a time."
"But they started this here. We can at least contain it to just here." Tuxedo Kamen added.
"Oh shut-up! I don't see you comeing up with any good ideas.
"And how would yours be any better?!"
"Both of you, stop it! Now we have to do something, but she's right. Staying here hasn't done anything to help."
"But we can help the police here." Tuxedo Kamen added.
"They're shooting at US Cape-Boy!" Amy responded.
"I SAID STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU! "Sailor Moon shouted."
"Amy, what do you in mind?"
"For now? Just get out of here. We just go, now. I'm sure they'll follow us."
"Okay. Tell the others, and we'll... we'll leave that way." She pointed at a street.
"Go, tell the others!" Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Kamen, and Amy left in three ways to tell the remaining Scouts the plan. A plan if nothing else, just to preserve life.
To Be continued...

(Thought)
[S-Effects]
Chapter 18
The Loss of Control
That afternoon, six cars drove in the middle of the city in quiet order, on another quiet day in Tokyo
"Hey guys, check out the fat girl, next to that blue joint, lef' side." Ronnie said on a hand radio to the other five cars.
"I see her. What about her?" Randy answered.
"Wanna bet, she's waitin' for a date that ain't comin'?"
"Knock it off Ronnie. That not funny!" Hana yelled over the radio.
"I think it is."
(She ain't nothing. She's got nothing on me." Angela thought.
The day-hours was short in the winter month, daylight was scarce for the season, and darkness came quickly, even before the 18th hour.
"Tanner, Angie. How much further?" Vincent asked over the radio.
"About another few miles, or 20 minutes. Whichever comes first." Tanner answered. Larry, hearing that, produced a restraned smirk.
"Okay, I got one." Adrien said prepairing a joke.
"A man and a woman started to have sex in the middle of a dark forest. After about 15 minutes of it, the man finally gets up and says, "Damn, I wish I had a flashlight!". The woman says, "Me too, you've been eating grass for the past ten minutes!"
Roaring laughter erupted from all six cars.
"A bear and a bunny are sitting in a forest taking a shit. The bear leans over to the bunny and says "Do you ever have the problem of shit sticking to your fur"? The bunny says "No". So the bear grabs the bunny and wipes his ass."
"Adrien, shut up!" Gail yelled while laughing over the radio.
Hospital:
Rei was under the stress of fear. Lots of it. Just the sensation of it made her body go into natural survival functions, but at the same time she felt phisically hungery, straving, thirsty, tired, and exhausted. She reached for her small communicator, Usagi answered.
"Hi Rei. What's up?"
"Usagi, somthing is happening. Right now."
"What?"
"I don't know, but whatever I've been sencing, is about to start soon. I know Ami is better and you'd like to be here, but all of you have to leave now and get back outside, and be ready to transform."
"Are you?-"
"USAGI, DON'T ARGUE. You have to get outside with as many of you as possable."
Six Cars:
Unfortunitly this conversation did not go unheard by prying ears. Johnathan grabbed his hand radio.
"Head's up guys. The Girl-Scouts of Japan know were coming."
"G-Men don't even know what we're here, or even why. How would a college graduate figure we're here?" Hana said over the radio.
"Don't ask me, I only tell you what I hear."
"Don't worry Hana, nothing changes. Everything's still fine. They just know a little sooner than intended." Vincent said to Hana.
Back at the hospital:
"Ami, we got to go. Rei says something might happen and we'll have to be there." Usagi said to her. Ami nodded her head.
"...Take care of yourself, and be carefull. Okay?"
Usagi nodded her head assuredly.
"Nothing will happen to us. After all this, everything will be back to normal, and we'll have a great big party when you're let out." With that said Usagi and everyone else left outside.
4:30pm: The six cars pulled into public garages, and nearby alleyways. The street was split in five ways. Tanner was familiar with the layout. Their was something like this back home. Two main roads and a fith street that merged from the southwest.
Larry parked the Chevy in the parking lot, and turned off the motar. He'd be a blatent lair if he were to say he wasn't nervous. It was obvious with the way he breathed out in one long motion. Emil was a little more nervious.
"You alright?"
"I'm cool...I'm cool, it's just so damn hot in here." Larry reached into his black jacket and pulled out a small bottle of pills.
"Here, take three of these. They'll definitaly calm you down." Emil took the bottle and swallowed them. Emil gave them back to Larry, who also took three of the pills.
In the Ford, Adrien called over the radio.
"Hey who has the thumper?"
"That'd be me." Vincent answered.
"Listen, you know when, and when NOT to fire it right?"
"Yeah, don't worry about it. I'm good with it."
"Good, cause I don't want to go back home empty handed."
"Yes mommie."
"Cut it out you two." Carlos said over the radio.
In the Dodge, Sarah also waited as Johnathan loaded his automatic rifle with a full drum. Sarah turned off her radio before she spoke.
"Johnathan?" He stopped and turned to her.
"Listen, if anything happens, anything at all. I'm telling you, you are to go to my sister, and stay with her. Got it?"
"Got it." He answered without doubt.
"Good." She said with a relived sigh.
"Okay, it's now or never." Tanner said over the radio.
"We'll go in." Larry said.
"Me too." Angela added.
"We're fine, Angie. We've done this before."
"Yeah, but not in Japan you have. How many words do you know in Japanese?"
"Larry, she's right. If we can't talk to them, then all we're doing is waisting time." Emil added.
"Alright. We bark, you talk." Larry said.
"Deal" Angela answered. I'm in the mustang, north side. Larry cranked the engin on and carefully crossed the street to pick up Angela. The Chevy pulled up as she got out. Rex followed.
"Stop. You stay here, with them."
"Okay." Rex answered without question. After that, Angela closed the door to the chevy and Larry drove across the street again. This time he pulled to the very front of a building, and parked the car faceing outwards, and turned off the car.
From their pockets they pulled out black ski-masks and pulled them over their faces, adjusting the eyes of the mask for clarity. Angela however pulled on, one of the face masks Adrien gave her while at the brick-apartments.
OUt of the car they walked to the entrance of the Bank each armed with an AK-47 in their hands. Larry pushed open the front door as larry threw an empty duffle-bag in the middle of the floor.
"EVERYBODY DOWN!!"[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! ]
The first gunman rattled his AK up into the ceiling. Everybody inside the bank panicked and practically froze. The bank tellers, the people, and security gurads.
"HEADS DOWN!!" [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
The second gunmen swung his AK form side to side, emptying half his AK into the walls. The people inside, seeing that gun point right at them made them lay flat on the floor. The gunfire echoed inside the solid walls of the bank. If you didn't bring ear protection in that moment, you were a little deaf for a while.
<Stay down! Move and you're dead!> Angela yelled. At everyone.
The other men in women in the other cars also heard the gunfire.
"Well...nothin' to do 'till later." Ronnie said from the backseat of the Ford.
"Yep." Regina answered. Adrien pulled a CD player from the glove box and put the earphones on for some music, to pass the time.
"Man I'd kill for a drink about now." Ronnie said.
Back inside the bank the second gunmen walked towards the teller door that lead behind the counter. It only took one failed attempt to turn the door-knob, for him to raise his Ak again.[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] The locked door was left dangeling on it's hinges. He kicked the door twice to get it out of his way. Angela followed directly behind him.
"You, get up!" He yelled at the only man in a suit, hiding behind a water cooler.
<You behind the cooler, Get over here!> Angela translated. But the man didn't move, and even tried hiding further behind the cooler. Angela may only have been half the gunman's size, but she was just as feirce. She stormed over to the scared man.
<I SAID GET OVER HERE!> She grabbed him by the top of his hair and yanked him up to his feet, pressing the gun barrel into his back.
<MOVE! TO HIM!>
The gunman grabbed the bank worker and shoved him over to a steel, interlocking, security fence.
"Open it!" The gunman shouted
<OPEN IT!> Angela translated.
<"I can't"> The bank worker said
<Why not?>
<"I-It only opens twice a day. It's controled by a computer, so it won't open for another three hours."> The bank worker was only doing what he was trained to do. Stall for time for the police to arrive, and to protect the money. Unfortunitly that answer made Angela all pissed.
<LIAR!>
She whipped the metal wire stock of her AK across his neck, knocking him down. She dived down on top of him and started punching his back, the side of his head. She grabbed him by the belt and stood up with every ounce of strength she had, throwing him aginst the wall. She whipped her elbow across his face, knocking him down again. He spit out two teeth as a small blood stream trickled out his mouth.
<Open it!>
He raised his hands in surrender
<"okay, okay. Please, just don't hurt me.">
<NOW!>
<"Yes, I need a second set of keys. I can't open it with just mine.">
<Who has them?>
<"Mrs.Inafumi the Bank Manager.">
<INAFUMI, WHERE ARE YOU!?> Angela yelled. She left the gunman's side and wandered around the bank.
<INFAFUMI, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" She walked to the other side of the room. Half of the bank tellers were women, but all of them just saw this clad-in-black, AK-welding, faceless monster approching.
<INAFUMI, DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF! WHERE ARE YOU?!> Angela saw one of the female tellers laying in front of her, crying. In fact they all were, and by now she was begining to lose her temper. [KakKakKakKak!!] A short burst from her AK got their attention.
<I WANT INAFUMI, THE BANK MANAGER! RIGHT-FUCKING-NOW!> And again no one answered her demand.
"Hey, get me one of those rental-cop from over there." The first gunman in the center area, walked over to one of the two security guards and moved him to Angela at gun point.
<INAFUMI?> [KakKakKakKak!!] The security guard was shot dead in the back.
<"STOP IT! Please, just stop it. I'm Mrs.Inafumi."> Angela was a little mad at herself. Not seeing the most obvious person in the group, wearing a festive red and green bussness dress.
<GET THE FUCK OVER HERE!>
<"Okay, just stay calm. No reason to get excited. I have the keys"> She said as she felt her insides quiver like jelly
"Hurry up bitch." The first gunman said. Angela jabbed her gun in her back to hurry her. The first gunman grabbed her by her blazer and pulled her, then pushed her to the bank security gate to the second gunman.
<Keys!> Angela demanded. Inafumi submitted the security keys to Angela. The second gunman then forced her down on the ground next to the other man.
<STAY DOWN, AND SHUT-UP!> Both Angela and the gunman, inserted the keys into the seperated locks, and opened the security gate.
<"I can't belive you just let them have the bank keys so easly."> Mrs.Inafumi said to her employee.
Unfortunitly Angela also heard that. Without warning, she fiercely kick the woman stright on top of her head. It didn't kill her, but she'd be living the rest of her life through a feeding tube. After having to scream her lungs off at her name, she wasn't in the mood to repeat herself.
"Get someone else."
Angela turned around back to the tellers.
<YOU WITH THE HAT! GET UP HERE!> At first the young man she ordered didn't move.
<DON'T MAKE COME BACK THERE AND GET YOU. NOW GET UP HERE!> Then he stood up and walked over to her.
<FASTER. I'M NOT PAID BY THE HOUR HERE, MOVE IT!> He eventualy made it withen arms reach of the larger gunman who shoved the empty duffle bag in his hands and shoved him in the unlocked money room.
<"Okay, take it easy."> He said.
"Shut up, and fill it up." The second gunman said. The bank teller didn't understand him, but after hearing the woman yell at everyone else, he understood they wanted money. He first walked to one side of the room.
"Not those, do this one!" He was pulled by the collar of his shirt and redirected to a semi-opened money container.
Back outside, all the other men and women saw the gathering of the local law-enforcment.
"Larry?" Adrien called on the hand radio
"What?" Larry answerd back over his radio-mic under his mask.
"I thougt it'd be just good, and polite of me to inform you of your arriving company."
"Yeah? How many?" Larry asked without an ounce of concern.
"About thirty of them."
"What? It hasn't even been ten minutes. How'd they get here so fast?"
"It ain't L.A. But their's one piece of news you'll like."
"What?"
"Well, I can't read japanese, but I can see a few vehicals that look a lot like news vans. They've been here for a few minutes, just milling around."
"Thanks for the update."
While sheer terror trampled inside the bank, The Sailor Scouts were also on the way to the same bank.
A Bank-robbery by itself would've got their attention just as much anything, but it was when they all heard-
"Tall figures in black, wearing black face masks." By the News Reporter.
That simple discription was all they needed to hurry as fast as they could. Mamoru, Michiru, and Setsuna drove three cars into town and to the Bank. All the Scouts were transformed and ready for a fight. Amy was also looking to kill one of them.
"Why do you think they're going after a bank?" Usagi asked Mamoru, who drove.
"I don't know. It's always something new with them." He thought he had them figured out, but doing a complete 180 and robbing a bank? It didn't make any sence.
"They're after something. I just wish I knew what it was."
"Me too."
Everyone was in bad shape. It was sheer loyalty and commitment that everyone else followed along.
(What if I have to fight him again?) Sailor Neptune thought.
(What if I have to fight that monster?) Sailor Jupiter thought.
(But what if he tries to kill another one of us, like they did with Ami?) Sailor Venus thought.
(Even if we have to fight them, how do we hurt them?) Even calm and collected, Sailor Pluto thought with a hint of fear.
(It takes so much of us to even stop them, and it's not even for long.) Sailor Moon thought to herself.
(I wonder if my friends can stand for long aginst them.)
Amy, sat quietly in the back-seat waiting for the motion of the car to stop. The unspoken signal to get out and attack.
(They only attacked in intervals of less than a week, then vanish. No one else did that. Berryl was a sadistic, dolled-up, peice of trash. Dead. She let herself get to herself. Got herself killed. Everyone preety much did the same thing... huh, why would they try so hard at first to kill Ami? They seem capable of doing the same to everyone else. Just one of them...)
She had a thought, but it left her. She didn't even try recalling it. Something was familiar. Something almost naturally familiar. In between the radio news, the driving, the look of panic on her friends faces.
(Wait a minute. Why does it feel like, I've done this before?)
"Usako? Can you tell the others were almost to where they are?" Mamoru had a bad feeling about approching the bank, and at least wanted everyone else to know it was almost time to fight.
Usagi opened her communicator to everyone.
"We're almost there. So get ready, because with any luck, we might be able to at least defeat one of them." Not even waiting for an answer she turned it off. It was hard for her to say it, knowing her friends were hurt as much as they were, and follwed her so faithfully.
Grey Dodge:
Again, Usagi's words were heard by prying ears.
"Girl Scouts are almost here. Wrap up whatever you're doing inside." Johnathan said over his hand radio to Larry, Emil, and Angela.
Sarah heard that. [CLICK-SHLACK!] She chambered a round into the FAL resting between her legs.
Bank:
"Get these people in the vault." The first gunman said.
<EVERYBODY UP! ON YOUR FEET, AND IN THE VAULT! MOVE-MOVE-MOVE!> Angela shouted. In slow motions the bank workers and people rose to their feet and were hearded into the cramped vault at gunpoint.
<Hurry-up, MOVE!> Eventually all 38 people were contained in the one small room.
"Alright, grab the bag. We're out of here." The first gunman said
"Cops. How many of them are out there?" He asked into the mic.
"50 at least. There's more than that though, from what I'm hearing." Johnathan answered.
"Whatever you're doing in there, has to end. otherwise you'll be stuck in there."
"Yeah-yeah, we're leaving. We're leaving now."
Daylight was retreating. The only light that was left was the hue of a orange sunset, approching dark-blue night sky, and a few street lamp-posts.
Outside the bank in the main parking lot were dozens of police officers. Barricades were set up, helicopters circled overhead, eight news vans had arrived and constantly updated their viewers with up-to-the-minute information about the armed robbery.
At that moment, over 100 million Japanese homes tuned on that moment on their TV's. Over 2 million work-places tuned their TV's and radios to the bank robbery in progress.
Over 150 police officers were on the scean of the crime, and others were heading their as ordered. They were all well trained, but nothing could have prepaired them for this.
One officer looked up while talking to his Captain...He was rendered speechless. As if the air was stolen away from him. His captian also looked at what he saw, and his heart skipped 3 or 5 beats seeing them.
Other officers in quick order stopped what they were doing, stairing in dumb-founded awe of the three that walked out.
The Captian eased his hand to the bullhorn in an automatic reflex, but forgot what to say.
The three gunmen looked from side to side, seeing they were surrounded on all sides, by every manner of resistance Japan's finest could provide.
<"This is the Police.... Put down your gun, lay down, a-and out your hands behind your head...We will not resist useing force on you."> The captain said.
"Sounded like a challenge to me." Angela said quietly to the other two."
<"I repeat. Drop your weapons, and surrender."> The Captian really wasn't sure what else to say beyond that.
Then it started.
[KakKakKak!!] A short burt of fire at first, got their sudden attention.
[KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKak!!] The three of them opened up on all the police.
[KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKa kKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKak!!]
Policemen dived for any and every cover they could find. rounds hit their little Honda patrol cars with such force it rocked them back and forth on impact
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak-Ka kKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKak!!]
They leaned on the triggers and swing their AK's back and forth from side to side.
An officer scammbled to his hands and knees and his behind his patrol car. sudden'y he heard at first a sound of wet bone suddenly being shattered, he looked down just as a second round tore from behind him through his car and throgh his chest again. He fell dead befor he hit the ground.
[KakKakKakKak KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakakKakKak-KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
Rounds were poured out with no reguard, and without reservation. An officer laying flat on the ground behind a car had a good view of the gunmen and cocked his revolver and made careful aim at one of them.
(Got you.) [Bang!] A solid hit in the chest only made the one he shot, turn to him.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] He car provided no protection aginst the AK-47 as it was torn to scrap metal in a few seconds. The rounds shreaded thorugh the car, killing the cop behind it.
[Bang!] Another cop on the other side shot at one of the gunman's upper leg.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] He couldn't figure who attempted to shoot his leg, but he just continued fireing anyway.
[Bang!Bang-Bang!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak KakKak!!] Fire was returned with fire, no matter how small it was. The layers of body-armor the gunmen wore soaked up the small caliber rounds the Japanese Police were only provided. This was beyond their training, beyond insanity. They were taught people like this avioded the police and would first make a attempted getaway in a car. Not start off with automatic fire.
Gunfire was heard over a mile away. People wandered outside to hear it better. It was nothing like they'd ever heard on TV. The way it echoed from the distance, in short bursts. The way it trailed in long rattles.
Closer to the shootout, was a different story. Gunfire roared with a dominating rattle, the way the sound bounced off the walls of buildings made it seem like it was right next door.
[KakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak!!]
The three gunman continued fireing at anyone who caught their attention.
"Son-of-a-bitch! Why don't they leave?!" Larry yelled to himself.
"My money is on fear. They don't want to get shot, but they don't want to leave either. They're damned if they do, they're damned if they don't." Angela answered.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
"It's not like were blocking the streets out of here." [Bang!] He got shot in the shoulder, but shrugged it off.
"They can any time they want." [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] [KakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] The sky was much darker now. Any sign of the sun that day vanished, as the cold dark blue sky took over the land. It was down to nearly 15 degrees on the streets as the three gunmen threw the hot lead into everything that moved. Searing hot brass fell on the concrete with random chiming.
[Bang!]
"HEY!" Angela was shot in the throat. Her eyes widened under her mask.
(Who did that?) [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
The five cars that were nearest her were turned into swiss cheese.
(Wanna kill me? Gotta earn it.) Unsure if she killed the one that shot her, she focused her attention there for now. [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! KakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] [Bang!] Again she was shot in her leg.
Officers remained behind anything they found. None of them figured out, their patrol cars didn't protect them. A lot of police men were getting shot because of it too.
Street lamp-posts, and bussness buildings provided the only light to the chaos. It didn't help, but at least the officers could see who was shooting at them, and from where.
Finally Sailor Moon and the others arrived... to a warzone.
"Oh my God..." She said with an overwhelmed sensation.
"What.. what's going on?" Neptune said. Still able to reserve herself, but still in awe of the Hell she knew they were going to have to enter.
"Oh God, look, there." Jupiter pointed to the occupied street. Nearly a dozen officers were shot and laying in agony, or dead in the street.
"Oh God we have to help them." But all it took was hearing that rattleing gunfire to kick that thought out.
"Wait look." Tuxedo Kamen. Pointed at the front of the bank.
"There's three of them."
"Three? Since when have their been three of them? We can't even deal with one of them. Why three, Where did that one come from?" Venus asked.
"Calm down. Let's focus our efforts on helping the wounded police off the street." Pluto added.
Amy however was far from calm, she was as far from calm as possable. The muscles in her body were already tightening up. Her heart was already beating so damn fast. Her lungs sucked in air greedly from the night sky trying to keep herself cool. She was sweating, alot too. 15 degrees in the open night air, and she was sweating so much, strands of hair stuck to the brow of her head, and her neck.
However in a black mustang, only twenty feet behind Mamoru's parked car. Tanner, Randy, and Rex saw them exit their cars.
"Guys, heads up. They're here. They're right in front of me." Tanner said over his radio.
Angela also heard.
"Rex, do NOT Pursue." [Bang!] She was shot in the stomach again
"DAMMIT!" [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
"Just wait a bit. Wait till they're closer to the killzone." Regina said to them. [Shlick-Clack!] Tanner chambered the RPD machine-gun. [Click-Clack!] Ronnie chambered a shell in the shotgun. [Shlick-Clack!] Rex, the Thug, also made ready the FAL. Eveyone also put on their black ski-masks, knowing it was only a matter of time before all hell was going to break loose.
"Let'em move up near the cop line. Then open up on them."
"Stop it, I'm all giddy." Tanner said jokingly.
At the Bank parking lot, in the middle of Hell. The Sailor Scouts found out preety quickly, moving from one place to another in the middle of being shot at, wasn't as easy as it looked in the movies. Bullets wized by their heads, and would hit metal objects creating sparks. They saw the wounded on the ground, many of whom were bleeding badly. Without a word, Each of them went out in the middle of the parking-lot. To bring back any wounded police-men. Venus was practically on all fours crawling behind each car to the first wounded man.
She crawled behind one car and to the other reaching the wounded police man.
"It's okay, I'm here. You'll be alright."
"You're sa..v.." The police man was barely able to speak. His pain was overwhelming. Like glowing, red, hot nails were in him. He was cold to the touch, not because of the weather, but because of all the blood he lost. She looked behind her and saw a traffic barricade made of cinder-blocks.
(That'll do.) Her strength as a sailor Scout gave her all she needed to carry the police man over behind it.
"Rest here, you'll be okay." She said.
"Thank-" A spray of blood from his stomach, and a shot of pain, cut his thanks short as an AK round hit him. Venus couldent belive it. Even behind solid, cinder blocks, they wern't safe.
"Guys, you're not going to like this. But whatever they're shooting is tearing everything apart. I don't think we can help them." She said over her communicator
"What?!"
"I just put a officer behind this big thick wall, and he was shot from behind it. We don't have anything to hide behind."
No sooner she finished saying that, all hell broke loose.
"LIGHT THEM UP!!" Somebody shouted on the radio.
13 men and women in black ski-masks got out of their cars. Vincent raised his first, straight at Amy.
[Thump-BOOM!!] The launched grenade exploded directly on her back. It sent everything and everyone flying away from her with such force. All anyone could hear was a high pitched whisteling sound for awhile.
Eveyone else not affected by the explosian looked behind. 13 clad in black people wearing ski-masks, and carrying all types of weapons.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] [tattattattattattattattattat!!] [Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak!!] [POOM!! Click-Clack POOM!!] Eveyone one of the 16 gunmen fired. Not even so much they were shooting at the police men, now that sailor Scouts became their targets. From all sides they closed in.
[Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak -Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Ka k-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak!!]
It was no longer about attempting to arrest the armed men anymore. Now all the police men wanted to do was get out alive.
<"Get headquartes on the radio. Tell them to send anything to get us out of here.">
<"Sir my radio dosen't work!"> [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
<"I can't get anyone.">
<"What?!">
<"Mine either!> Another answered
<"None of our radios work!" Another answered.
<"No. This isn't happening.">
[POOM!! Click-Clack] [tattattattattattattattattat!!] [POOM!! Click-Clack POOM!! Click-Clack] [tattattattattattattattattat!!]
Unrestricted amounts of firepower rattled off never giving a moment of rest to anyone.
(Their's so many of them.) Sailor Moon thought. She got her communicator out to call Rei. But after turning it on, all she got was a dead signal.
(What?..)
"Jupiter! Call Rei! She might know something."
"Right!" Jupiter also tried activating her communicator. but only got the same dead air.
"Mine dosen't work!" She said with horrified realisation.
Amy's vision was begining to clear as she layed on the ground.
(What the hell was that?) She got up on her hands and knees from a pool of her own blood and covered in dirt. Finally on her feet, and her wounds had closed from the explosion. She looked around confused for a second, then saw the bussness end of shotgun again. [POOM!! Click-Clack] The shot caused her to spin on her feet. [POOM!! Click-Clack] The next round hit her chest and slammed her back down on her back.
"ARGUH!!" She bolted up on her feet. [POOM!! Click-Clack] [Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Ka k-Kak-Kak-Kak!!] She ran at the two gunmen shooting her. [POOM!!] [Thump-BOOM!!] The 12 gauge slowed her down, the launched grenade knocked her out seanseless.
Venus had a plan.
(It's just the guns their shooting that the problem. Okay.)
"Venus Love-me-Chain!!" The energized chain shot from her finger tip and wrapped around the middle of a gun.
"Got you!" She yanked hard and toppling the gunman off his feet, but the gunman refused to give up his gun so easly. He propped his feet as he passed a car and was no longer pulled. Unfortunitly Venus' energized chain glowed brightly in the dark, so everybody saw where she was.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKa kKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakK akKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-K ak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak!!][tattattattattatta ttattattattattattattattattattattattat!!][Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Ka k-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak!!] They emptied at least over 200 rounds at her in only a few seconds. She was hit over two-dozen times. Only the fact she was transformed, prevented her death, but it still hurt like hell. Venus' chain dissapered after she went down, and the gunman simply knelt up behind the car and resumed fireing.
At this point all the police men stopped trying to shoot at the gunmen and just stay low to the ground or hid behind solid walls. Who could blame them?
Amy was getting up again Just as furious as before, and even more as stood upright.
[Thump-BOOM!!] Again she was kocked down and back in a violent explosian. Her wounds were wide open, and she lost plenty of blood. Even with her ability to heal quickly, it was as if she couldn't heal fast enough.
Sailor PLuto wasn't being shot at for a moment, and decided to exploit the moment.
(I can do this.)
"Dead Scream." Her energy projectal travled to a reletavly close group of the gunmen. A masked gunman stepped up in front, ran towards it, and kicked it up and away. [BOOM!!] It exploded in mid-air but still knocked down the rest of the clustered gunmen.
[Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak -Kak-Kak!!] [tattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattattat!!][Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak- Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak!!] [KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKa kKakKakakKakKak!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKa kKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] [Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Kak-Ka k-Kak-Kak-Kak!!] Pltuo barely put her time-staff down to recover from her attack, and they poured the fire on her. OVer 300 rounds emptyed just on her, with plenty to spare.
"MOVE 'ROUND RIGHT!!" One of the gunmen yelled like a horrible, vicious animal. His voice was just as scarry as the gunfire. All 16 gunmen advanced away from their cars that acted as cover and moved in. The Gunmen close to the bank doors just moved to the side, and were joined by a fourth.
The first gunman was acctualy running low on his reserve of ammunition for his AK. He walked to the Chevy, opened the trunk, dumped the AK with the ammunition belt pack. He pulled out a different belt pack and pulled out a FAL.
"You want some?" He said taunting the hiding police-men with his hand.
[KrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrak!!]
"Come on Pigs!" [KrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrak!!]
"I see you, I got more for you!" [KrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrakKrak!!]
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][KrakKrakKrakKrak KrakKrakKrakKrakKrak!!]
Amy was haveing the hardest time getting up, she had an idea. It occured to her while her blown open ribs were healing themselves. Before her wounds closed, she sprung to her hands and feet and quickly crawled on the ground behind anything standing. Gunfire all around her rattling off to a trance-like repetition. As if it would never end.
(Got to get to Sailor Moon.) She found her more quickly than she thought as she pulled a officer into an alley
"Sailor Moon. We have to leave!"
"Are you kidding? We have to help the police, or they'll be killed."
"They'll be killed anyway if we stay."
"What?
"We need to at least seperate them. Then we can deal with them a few at a time."
"But they started this here. We can at least contain it to just here." Tuxedo Kamen added.
"Oh shut-up! I don't see you comeing up with any good ideas.
"And how would yours be any better?!"
"Both of you, stop it! Now we have to do something, but she's right. Staying here hasn't done anything to help."
"But we can help the police here." Tuxedo Kamen added.
"They're shooting at US Cape-Boy!" Amy responded.
"I SAID STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU! "Sailor Moon shouted."
"Amy, what do you in mind?"
"For now? Just get out of here. We just go, now. I'm sure they'll follow us."
"Okay. Tell the others, and we'll... we'll leave that way." She pointed at a street.
"Go, tell the others!" Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Kamen, and Amy left in three ways to tell the remaining Scouts the plan. A plan if nothing else, just to preserve life.
To Be continued...
