Chapter 22
We need to Talk.
No one is leaving a winner.
John and Randy were walking back to the front of the mill as Johnathan's wounds healed, when Randy stopped.
"John, hold up."
"Sup?"
"Listen, umm... Sharah's dead." Johnathan heard him, but didn't quite get it.
"We were comeing to find you, but we ran into the girls and she died while we were getting away." Johnathan's thoughts swelled in a mix of anger and sorrow.
"Listen man, I'm sorry."
John's head ducked down in accepting the news.
"So why were you comeing for me?"
"We need you to turn the blocker off, to call the others back here. Rayne is also dead. Hana is hurt bad, and Regina is tyring to keep Gail alive."
"Fuck... [sigh] Yeah, uh, Where's Sharah?"
"Dude, she died."
"Where?!" Randy lead John over to where Sharah died. Randy didn't dare say a word as Johnathan looked over her lifeless body.
Gunfire was heard echoing in the mill now, interupting John's thoughts. The remaining Senshi were embolded by their vicorty over the Creature and now took the fight to the remaining gunmen. He picked her up and carried her over his shoulder.
"Lead the way."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][POOM Click-Clack!!] The gunmen fired.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakkakkakKakKakKak!!] They swept side to side, keeping the Senshi at bay. [KakKakKakKakKakKakkakkakKakKakKak!!]
"Angie, where the Hell is Rex? We need him now!" Tanner asked.
"I don't fucking know! Stop asking me!" [KakKakKakKakKakKakkakkakKakKakKak!!]
"He'll be here when he's done whatever it is he's doing."
"Supreme Thunder!" A bolt of collected lightening flew from her hands and ripped a hole in the parked car inside. [BOOM!]
"Geez, these people won't stop for anything." Sailor Moon said aloud.
"Can't we get them to stop shooting even for a while?"
"Got anything in mind?" Pluto asked.
"Well they must know we killed one of them earlier by now... If we told them about that monster they sent after Amy? That we killed it."
"She's got my vote. Just get them to stop shooting at us!" Jupiter answered.
"Okay, does anyone have a white flag?" Of coarse there was only one thing white they had.
(Uh-oh) Venus thought.
"THE SIDE!" Pluto shouted seeing three of them.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakK akKak!!]
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][POOM Click-Clack!!]
"Dead Scream."
The purple sphere of energy was only half it's normal strength, but more than enough to get them running for cover.
[POOM Click-Clack!!][POOM Click-Clack!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
She saw one of them aim at Sailor Moon.
"LOOK OUT!" She shoved her out of the way. [POOM Click-Clack!!][POOM Click-Clack!!]
She took two large rounds in the worst way
[KakKakKakKak-KakKakKak-KakKak-Kak!!][KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak-KakKa k!!]
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak-K akKak!!]
Pluto was writhing in agony as the gunmen swept their fire without reguard.
One gunman with a shotgun, ran hellbound and grabbed the fallen Senshi by her foot and dragged her back to them.
Pluto realised what was going on and struggled. The gunman began beating her with the stock of his gun. She almost stood up when the stock was whipped across her shoulder one way then across her head from the other way. Five more stikes from him then he dived down on top of her and wrestled her arms and neck to cut off her breathing.
"Would one of you guys get some cuffs on her, like NOW!" Ronnie yelled.
Another gunman came in and pulled out a handfull of orange, flex-tie handcuffs. First her wrists were restranded behind her back, then between fireing back and restraining her legs by force, her ankle were also restrained.
[KakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakK akKak!!]
Pluto was now their prisoner, and helpless to do anything about it.
"HELLYEAH, WE GOT ONE!" Ronnie exclamed.
"NO! NOOO!"
"SETSUNA!" various cries came from the senshi seeing their friend taken.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakK akKak!!]
[POOM Click-Clack!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][POOM Click-Clack!!]
As they fired, Tanner saw to his side people in dark clothing. At first he couldn't out two and two togeather, but when he saw they were armed...
"COPS!!" [KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] Rifle rife drove the police back. None were hurt that time.
"Where?" Ronnie yelled
"The side, that way. Must be another door."
"On it!" Ron bolted off the floor picking up another pouch full of shotgun shells and ran towards the cops alone. [POOM!!] But just because he was alone, didn't mean he was helpless. [Click-Clack! POOM!!] Buckshot slammed a cop down. Now, unfortunatly, the police were playing Ronnie's game. Up close and chaotic! [POOM Click-Clack!!] He missed on that one. Ronnie had the upmost respect for the shotgun.
A: He was always kindda short-sighted since he was a young teenager, so the shotgun was a forgiving weapon as far as accuracy went.
B: Up close... the shotgun took off limbs.
He saw the cops take safty behind a balistic shield. [POOM Click-Clack!!] The blast didn't kill or harm anyone, but it knocked the shield-man on his back. Everyone else ran for the door in the narrow passage outside. [POOM Click-Clack!!] He shot a cop and severed a arm off at the elbow. He quickly started reloading shells as fast as he could. He looked up and saw them coming again with another Shield-man.
[POOM Click-Clack!!] The first shot stund him. [POOM Click-Clack!!] That blast caused him to fall. Ronnie whipped out his Glock pistol. [BLAM! BLAM-BLAM!] One cop was shot twice in the back as he ran for the door again, but he lived. The other was shot also in the back as he ran but he was shot in the upper spine. [BLAM-BLAM-BLAM-BLAM!]
The group of officers outside were amazed and horrified at the same time.
"How many repeled you back?" The Japanese Police Captain asked his wounded officer.
"Just one." He said in strain.
(Who are they? What's wrong with them?) He thought.
"Come on in bitches, the waters' fine!" Ronnie yelled from inside. His shotgun was fully loaded again and he waited where they could not surround him in the narrow hallway.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
[KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] Adrien saw something as the gunfire echoed. A white cloth being waved side to side on a thin steel pipe.
"Guys, Guys! Hold it!" Adrien yelled loudly. Finally everyone eles saw the white object being waved, and also stopped shooting.
"Well, they stopped shooting at us." Sailor Moon said.
"Wonderful, now can I have my top back?" Venus said from behind a stacked pile of 55-gallon drums.
"Think they're giving up?" Tanner said quietly.
"Don't know." Adrien answered.
"Okay, it's your show." Neptune said to Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon walked as close to the edge of her concielment without being seen. She started mustering her courage for what she was about to do.
John and Randy finally showed up from the side.
"Where the hell have you been? Do you know the level of shit were in?" Angela asked as Johnathan set the deceased on the floor.
"Who's that?" She asked quietly. Randy whispered in her ear. When he left Angela smiled an aproached John placing a hand on his cheek.
"Johnathan?" She said sweetly.
But her words were cut off when Randy put the muzzle of his AK in her ear.
"Get away from him, phycho. You already have Rex. You don't another like him."
"Relax Randy, Sharah alrady told me to go to her sister back home." Johnathan said.
"Even while dead, she can outsmart you." Randy said to Angela.
In a fit of rage she swung her AK against a wall, twisting the metal-wire stock in half.
(Fucking perfect.)
"Oh by the way, John turned the blocker off. You can call the others now." Randy added.
Tanner was immedeatly on his hand radio trying to contact the others.
"We would like to offer you a chance to surrender, and return our friend unharmed!" Sailor Moon called from across the room.
Angela and Johnathan heard that and was stunned.
"The fuck did she just say?" Angela said.
"What, what?" Randy wondered at her expression.
"Shut-up." She said in a hushed tone.
<"We fought your monster earlier and defeated him. We do not want to fight any more if we have to, but we will. We're offering you a chance to surrender peacefully.">
"Bullshit, I think she's lying." John said to Angela.
<"I think your lying.">
Not in the most coopertive talker Angela was.
As sailor Moon and Angela talked. Amy finlly found the remaining Senshi. She arived without a scratch on her, through her clothes were bloodied and ripped.
"My goodness, Amy. Are you alright?" Venus asked.
"Yeah, I'm good. I miss anything?"
"You're not going to beleve this but we killed the Monster. We sank it in the molten steel. We killed it."
"You killed Rex, Really?"
"Yeah, Rex isn't... Who's Rex?"
"The Creature you said you killed."
"Who told you his name?"
"Uhh... noone."
"Anyway, we stopped the fighting and were trying to talk our way out."
"I can kill'em."
"No don't They took Setsuna prisoner. Sailor Moon asked for this. She talking to them right now." With that heard, Amy agreed and didn't attack.
Everyone else, minus Ron, was listening to every word as John translated between Angela and Sailor Moon. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Rex couldn't have been killed.
Although Johnathan translated the two, he stayed next to Sharah. Nearly the only noble thing he could do at this point.
Ronnie arrived again. He secured the hallway with what he could into an effective barricade. It'd be a while before the cops would break through.
"What's shakin'? I miss anything?"
"Plently. Aparently the girls killed Sharah and Rex." Regina answered, as she pressed her hand over a bloody wound on Gail trying to keep him alive.
"Man, the things I miss." He said as he looked at Sailor Pluto.
"Don't worry, Tanner is working on getting the others back here to help us."
"Awesome."
Tanner came back.
"Guys we have a fucking big problem. I tried calling out to Larry and Carlos, but all I get is a buch of Japanese chatter."
John grabbed the radio from Tanner.
"Larry, Talk to me." .....Nothing.
"Emil? Pick up." .....Nothing.
"Carlos, Vinnie. YOu there?"
<"This is the Acting Captain, Motosuwa of the Tokyo Police Department. If this radio signal is sent by any of the other criminals from the Bank robbery, I am to inform you the two criminals here are dead. You are to gi--"> That was all John needed to hear.
"Vinnie, Carlos pick up the damn reciver right fucking now. If either of you can hear me, just tap on the reciver to acknowledge me."
....Nothing.
"Pick up, or tap the reciver."
....Nothing.
"Vincent, you pot-smoking bastard, pick up!"
....Still no answer.
"Hey Carlos, Your mom is a whore. What do you think of that?"
Most everybody knew Carlos was very defencive about him mom. But still even with that, no answer.
"Guys, I agree with Tanner. We have a fucking big problem, and if blondie is right and they did kill Rex..."
"Then we're all that's left?" Regina added.
"Then it's Adrien, Me, Regina, John, Tanner, Hana, Randy, Angela, an Gail?" Ronnie added."
"Alive, yeah. Useful and fit, you can take off Hana, Gail and Me." Regina added.
"So it's just six of us, against the girls, an the swarmin' cops outside."
"Don't forget Amy still alive." John added.
(Oh this night keeps getting better and better.) Adrien rolled his eyes back in anger.
"Does anyone here have any good news?"
"Working on it." John added quietly.
Angela halted the talk with Sailor Moon.
John, could you fight your way out? Even so much as to get the cops out of the way?"
"I could, but if I leave, Amy gets to do anything she wants to you. And if I deal with only Amy again. Then you'll have to deal with both the Cops and the girls."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Please tell me they're talking about leaving." Endymion said quietly.
"If they're not..." Neptune added.
"No, they have too." Venus interupted.
"They must."
"But lets also remember that so far they've done nothing but cause harm where ever they go. Who's to say they won't use this time to do something more hurtfull to others?" Sailor Moon added.
"If they're not willing to talk, we have to accept the fact, it will either be us or them. To the death, and we've seen their resorces, and being willing to die. For goodness sakes they captured Setsuna. Could they do the same to us?" Endymion was in fact afraid, but his speech wasn't helping either.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ronnie spoke.
"Okay, let's just wrap up our proplem sheet. We have a thousand angry limp-dicked cops outside, we have three of our car still parked outside and likely by now taken by the cops, we have a handfull of little girls nearly worth fucking capable of killing John now, over half of us are dead useless or dying, and one very pissed... whatever the hell you are on their side." He said pointing at Johnathan.
"Yeah, I'd say that counts for hearing for a way out." Tanner added.
"Guys." Regina spoke up.
"Guys, we need to get Gail out of here or he's going to die here. I can't help him here. He needs painkillers, a blood transfusion, and at least a clean roon so I can at least close his wounds, or he'll go into shock and die here."
Angela rose her hand...
"Hey... I got a stupid idea. But I'll need John to come with me."
The gunmen looked at eachother for a moment.
"I think I can talk our way out of here with just us and her. Maybe I can get them to let us out of here alive. We can probley not-leave empty handed." Randy didn't seemed to object.
"Alright, go for it."
"I'm comeing to." Ronnie added.
"What for? What I'm about to do is near suicidal."
"Well, you know... for letting me fuck you last night."
"What does that have to do with getting out of here alive?" She asked with rattle in her voice. Not an ounce of embaressment or shame showed in her voice or her face. Not a hint of a trace of blush showed.
"Hey kids, can you arguee who fucked who last night after we're far away from danger?"
Adrien interupted.
"Angie, accept his help." The three left, into the open. Angela, Johnathan, and Ronnie. They slowly walked away from their remaining cover and fire-support. Angela explaned briefly her plan to the other two as they walked out further away.
They stopped...
"<Sailor Moon, we here to talk. Face to face.>" Angela said first.
"<You, and only two others can join you, with us.>" Moments passed... deathly quiet until Sailor Moon walked out, then Sailor Venus beside her, then Amy on her other side.
They walked out slowly and stopped halfway.
"<Throw your weapons away!>" Venus shouted.
"<Only if you revert back to normal first.>" Angela responded.
"<We're not here to fight, we're here to talk it out. OUr weapons are for the cops if should they break back in. Nothing else.>"
They were all reminded again that these people held the life of a officer very low.
"<Fine.>"
"<Before we talk, I want some ground rules layed out, that both of us will abide by.
1; Only you and I will make the final decisions.
2; Our companions are here for security, not to fight eachother.
3; Neither him or her will speak or fight as long as we talk.>" She said pointing to Johnathan then Amy
"<Do you accept these conditions?>"
Sailor Moon thought for a moment. She couldn't think of a better way to keep the Assailant from harming anyone, even if brief amount of time.
"<I accept.>"
(Clever little Angie.) Johnathan thought to himself. Amy felt an involuntary jolt in her head.
Both sides moved closer to eachother. Neither side had to shout.
"<Alright you asked for the peace talk, we're here. So what do you want?>" Angela inquired.
"<We want our friend back first, then we want you to leave.>" Sailor Moon demended.
"<I seem to recall taking her fair and square. And since you wanted this little talk, you must have something in trade we'd want to accept, right?>"
"<Well, let's talk about the leaving part... If we let you leave, you must accept that the cops outside are there at their own free-will, in servace to the state. You would not stop us from escaping.>"
Sailor Moon knew what she ment. If they were allowed to leave, the police outside would die as they made their escape, and they'd all have to look the otherway, and do nothing.
"<No, that's not okay. You've killed and hurt to many people to be allowed to escape.>"
"Gail, cops, no time left." Ronnie said very quietly through his teeth, just loud enough for Angela to hear.
"<Little girl, Let me explane something. I am laying out the terms of both our...peacefull departings. Now about your friend... What do we get if we return her back to you?>"
"<What do you have in mind?>"
"<Her.>" Angela pointed to Amy.
"<We'll trade stright up. Your friend returned alive, though slightly brused, but still awake. In trade, you give us her.>"
Ronnie was the only person not aware of was being said, but from what he saw on there faces, it horrified them.
"<How dare you ask such a horrible thing?! We do not trade our friends for another frined, as if they were mere playing cards. Give her back, then we'll let you leave.>"
"<Shit like that dosn't work today little girl. Now I need an answer. We'll trade your friend for her, so long as you leave and leave us the hell alone.>"
"I can't beleve they ask for something like that so boldly." Venus said aloud.
"What do you think they're planing?"
"I guess they're trying to leave. With that monster dead, it must have scared them that we can do that." Sailor Moon answered.
"Amy what do you think?"
Amy said nothing. She looked at her and only spoke with her eyes, but was somehow unable to speak. She always had an eye on the Assailant, and for some reason shewas kept her from doing anything.
"Amy, are you alright?" Sailor Moon asked. Again no responce from her.
"<Hey Girl, I need an answer, and I sure as hell don't mind leaving. Yes or no?>" Angela asked again.
"She's crazy, even if we traded Amy for Pluto, what could possably stop Amy from killing them?" Venus said.
"I think you're right, look. Her neck." Venus did look, the persons neck was patched up with cloth and tape with dried blood caked on her skin.
"I get it, she can't think stright."
"Yeah, it might make seanse to her, but she cant think right.>"
"Should we try?"
"Yeah."
"<Alright, we'll do it your way. We'll trade Amy for our friend, and we'll leave and let you escape. But we must insist that our friend be brought here.>" It was a fair enough request.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ronnie was a little mad. He fought so hard to wrestle the woman down and to have her restrained, but now here he was running back to get Sailor Pluto from the front of the mill. He stood her to her feet by her waist, then lifted her on his shoulder and carried her back. He was deceptivly string for such a skinny guy.
"I hope everything is going our way." Regina said as she watched Ronnie walk off.
"Ughhhh." Gail moaned.
"Hey look at you, you're still alive. Hang in there, we're working on getting you out of here.
"What's_ goin' on?" Gail asked in a slurred speech in agony.
"Angela is talking our way out of here with the girls."
"...The fuck did you say?" His speech perked up.
"You rest our only way out to an unmedicated-bipolar-schizophrenic? What the Hell is wrong with you?!"
"She speaks Japanese. So she the only one."
"Woman, Johnathan speaks it. Why do you think he's been here for so long? ARUGHH!!" His fury in his words finally were silence as his pain swelled.
"You,, got us all killed, and.. it's going to be... your... falut!" His breathing was ragged, his voice was strained, and his skin was pale from his injury."
"Oh shit, why did we let Angela go out?!" Randy yelled.
"Oh man, we're fucked!" Adrien also yelled. Tanner heard this and slid down against the wall, burying his head in his hands.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ronnie came back, cargo in tow. He set her down carefuly, but still had the muzzle of his shotgun on the back of her head.
"<Here she is, as promised. Now about our deal.>" Angela said.
"<You agreed on the trade correct, or are you backing out?>"
"<No, we agreed.>" Sailor Moon answered.
Angela only wished she didn't have to hold back her mile wide smile.
"<Okay, this guy will walk her over to you, and Amy there will walk over to us.>"
Sailor Moon nodded to the trade, then nodded to Amy. Ronnie walked Pluto to Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus slowly, as Amy walked over to Angela and John.
Everything was kindda going well...
"<FREEZE! THIS IS THE POLICE!>" Came a amplified voice. That ended the peace.
Angela broke her consentration and focused on the invading police.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKak-Kak!! ]
Ronnie kicked Pluto over to the two Senshi and ran for cover. [POOM!! Click-Clack]
[KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKak!!] [POOM!! Click-Clack]
The remaining gunmen at the front of the mill heard the gunfire, but couldn't move. Whatever was happening was theirs alone.
Sailor Moon and Venus caught Pluto and carried her away, not once looking back. They had to first remove Pluto's restraints before they could resume the fight.
Angela and Ronnie were shooting at two ends, but it was ronnie alone that noticed Angela was not paying attention to Amy standing by herself. [POOM!! Click-Clack] He drew out his pistol again. [Blam! Blam-Balm!] He rushed closer to Amy. [Blam-Balm! Blam-Balm!] Cops were comeing in no matter waht at his point, and ronnie knew it. He was once again closer to Amy so she could hear him.
"Amy!" She turned at the sound of her name, and saw him waving her over to him. She walked over to him.
[KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
Angela was still highly involved in shooting back at any cops in front of her.
"Amy, do you speak any english?"
She nodded.
"Yes." She answered in english.
Ronnie gentaly, though quite intimidated, put his hand on the side of her face.
"Good girl." Seeing no negetive or violent reactions from her, he handed her his shotgun.
"Load it." He told her. As if she had done it a thousand times before she began inserting the 12-gauge rounds in the gun.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! ]
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! ]
[Blam-Balm!Blam-Balm!] [Blam-Balm!Blam-Balm!] [KakKakKak-KakKakKak-Kak!!]
"Angie, we need to leave now!" Angela heard that
"Front Side!" Angela leaned on her AK and bolted for the front of the mill. Ronnie and Amy close behind.
No sooner Angela and Ronnie made it back to the front...
"Oh shit I forgot the girl..." Angela turned saw Amy standing next to Ronnie.
"Ronnie?"
"Amy, there are cops outside the front door. Be a good girl and freeze them all." Then Amy did exactly as she was told. She marched outside streching out her hind. [WHOOOOSH!] It didn't take long. Hundreds of responding police officers were fozen to death in an instant.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Endymion sliced the restraints with his sword.
"Are you okay?" Jupiter asked her.
"Yes, thank you, I'm fine, just a bad headache."
"Thank goodness." Sailor Moon replied.
"So now what do we do with the bad guys?" Venus asked.
"Where's Amy?" Emdymion asked a very important question. They all look around.
"She was behind me last I saw. I thought she was following you." Sailor Moon said.
"No... I thought she was following you." Venus said.
"Then where is she?" Pluto asked.
"If she's not here, she must be fighting them." Endymion added.
"Alright, Pluto stay here with Neptune, the rest of us will find Amy, and hopefully end this night." She nodded and the others ran off.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The front of the mill was as quite as a graveyard. No sirens, no gunfire, no shouting, nothing. The gunmen loaded the wounded lengthwise in the back seats of the cars. Everyone piled in the cars, just as Johnathan came back out of the mill carrying Sharah's dead body.
"Oh come on John, she dead. You know we can't take her back home!" Regina tried to rationalize with John.
"I'm not leaving her here to be groaped and burried in a numbered box in a cold mourge. I'm at least going to bury her. Away from here." He answered.
Then the last reamining Senshi showed up.
"Dammit, I thought they'd left by now." Said Ronnie.
The Senshi stoped running at the sight of the armed gunmen.
"<FUCK...OFF!>" Angela said pointing her AK at Sailor Moon.
"<No, you're not leaving after what you've done!>" Sailor Moon anounced
As she talked the others looked around for Amy.
But they also saw the hundreds of frozen people. Frozen in place as if Amy did it again, like last time.
(What happened here?) Endymion thought.
"<This is the deal you setteled on. You have your girlfriend back, we're cutting off the fight. Now get lost!>"
"<We fought and defeated your monster, we can still fight against you.>" Jupiter said aloud.
Johnathan walked out into the open [shirk] The blades in his left arm drew out.
Then Amy walked out standing not far from him. Everyones attention diverted to her.
"Amy?" Sailor Moon called.
"Amy what are you doing?" She asked. Ronnie with his shotgun pointed out couldn't hold his smile back, but he didn't laugh.
"Amy what are you doing? Fight them, You're all we have. You can be..."
"Shut up, and go home." Amy interupted.
"Amy? Don't you see them. The people who have hurt and killed so many people around you? Fight them!" Endymion said.
(Oh, NOW he want's my help.) Amy thought. Regina emmitted a high pitched whistled. A signal far them to get moving soon. The gunmen walked backwards, and entered their cars.
Sailor Moon ran up ahead.
"<Wait, Please! Wait!>" She placed herself between the departing three cars and the main entrance of the parking lot of the steel mill.
"<If I get stop you from leaving, then leave our friend Amy here.>"
Ronnie grabbed a spare FAL from inside the car and began aiming at Sailor Moon. A small hand on his shoulder gained his attention.
"Let me." Amy said to him.
"Don't screw it up." Ronnie answered.
Amy got out of the car, and aimed her hand at Sailor Moon.
"Amy?" [WOOSH!] Amy did what she could to passify the gunmen inside the cars. Sailor Moon was knocked to the ground and was left nearly freezing to death.
It was so cold, it robbed the air in your lungs. It was so cold, your eyes would roll backwards in shock. It was so cold, you forgot the warmth of summer ever existed.
Sailor Moon was on her side on the ground in tears. She saw Amy's eyes just as she fired on her, without a drop of remorse. No sooner Sailor Moon was on the ground Amy returned to the car sitting beside Ronnie.
"Good girl." Ronnie said.
The three remaining car drove off.
"Please, why did you do this?!" Sailor Moon shouted
"What was it for?!" The gunmen heard her. Johnathan and Angela understood her, but they didn't stop from leaving.
"PLEASE COME BACK! wHAT WAS IT ALL FOR?! come back here! GIVE AMY BACK YOU MONSTERS!! GIVE HER BACK!!" sailor Moon shouted and screamed in a fit of high-pitched screaming filled with anger... then sorrow.
"Give her back..." She said quietly as the car dissapered at the turn of a courner, then they were gone. She cried and sobbed.
Her friends came to her side and helped her up. They collected their wounded and the sore. They had to leave. Emotions ran high, anger boiled, wounds screamed, muscles ached, energy drained, their numbers were far to few.
At the hospital, Rei felt what had happened. She sobbed and cried as well. Silent tears fell fro her eyes into her pillow. She again grabbed her communicator and called Haruka.
"What the news?" Haruka asked with hope.
"...It's over- We lost." Rei coulden't talk anymore and just wanted to go to sleep.
Haruka felt as if her heart was going to be ripped in two.
(We lost?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The gunmen drove in the night quietly throught the tokyo streets.
Johnathan still had Sharah body in his arms. He took her hand and carefully removed a ring from her hand, then her necklace jewlery. Those would go back to her sister.
Regina and Randy were both doing what they could to close Gail's wounds, as he moaned and yelled, as he struggled to live.
Ronnie looked over to Amy.
"Amy?" She looked at him.
"You're not comin' back here."
A brief pause before she understood his order.
"Okay." She answered quietly. She looked down at her hands. Her skin was black like coal, thick like leather, and sharp like knives.
*Sigh. (I used to have preety hands.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Eleswhere, near the bank. Officers slowly aproached Larry's lifeless body as they rolled him on his back, then carefully pealed his skimask backward.
They were still fightened of him.
Emil layed face down on the street in handcuffs, but he also wasn't moving. He had bleed so much he died of blood loss.
The White Chevy they drove confiscated was filled with five extra machineguns, and over four thousand rounds in spare ammunition.
Vincent was aproached with caution. His eyes afixed into the dark sky above.
Carlos was zipped into a bodybag and padlocked shut for saftey.
Their car really shocked the police, being filled with explosives grenades and three extra machineguns. An arsenal that rivled even a JSDF's servace weapons.
One car remianed at the steel mill, in it was four machineguns, a shotgun, and three-thousand rounds ready for the killing field.
What most of the police couldn't figure out was.
"If they had all this firepower, why did they stop?"
"What were they after?" Questions and more questions.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning, the day before Christmas:
Last night's violent bank robbery was on every news station across Japan. Everybody was talking about it. Stray rifle fire was found over a quarter mile away in people's homes.
But when the numbers started comeing in. The real tragity set in. So many died that night, three times that number were wounded badly.
The gunmen however were more pre-occupied with their own problems. They were back at the Brick Apartments from last night.
"So how's Gail?" Hana asked. Her ankle was set in a brace and she had a good level of painkillers in her.
"Not bad. I stiched up his wounds, and got him to sleep, but he'll need a real doctor to get the bulets out of him." Regina answered.
"That's good."
"Are you okay?"
"...No." Enough was said.
Adrien and Tanner exchanged goodbye's
"Hey man, sorry we din't get what we came for." Adrien said
"Shit happens." Tanner asnwered.
"Listen I gotta go. It's a long drive back home once I get to Alsaka."
"..Yo wait up. Did you say drive from Alaska?"
"Yeah."
"And you still live in New Jersy?"
"Yeah. What's your point?"
"Uhh, nothing.. I guess."
"Say *bye for me, would ya?"
"Yeah. Sure man." Randy and Tanner got back in their car and drove off.
(How the hell do you drive from New Jersy to Alaska in a few days?)
Johnathan drove up in a car, minus one body that was in it before. He was tired and exhausted with what he had to do.
"So are we leaving or what?" John asked from inside his car.
"Yeah, we're just waiting for a van to show up to carry Hana and Gail back home.
Ronnie Angela and Amy all sat togeather. Ronnie had a mile wide smile on him with his Amy around Amy's waist pulled close to him. Angela only boiled from the inside in anger.
(She's mine.)
Ronnie seemed to get off on seeing Angela so mad, and for once, their was nothing she could do about it. Amy was physically back to normal, the way she normally looked without the black skin and boney armor, and the two hinged spikes from her back. She looked normal, but that's where it ended. She just looked normal.
Later a grey van came by, then both Hana and Gail were carefully loaded in. The back door closed and off went those two back home.
An hour later Adrien, Regina, Ronnie, Amy, Angela, and Johnathan also left the apartments in two cars
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At the Hospital.
No celebrations, no praise, no victory. Not this time. Usagi quietly sat beside Amy in her room. Amy was doing alot better. She was off the machines to keep her alive and she was sitting up by herself, still a little sleepy from her pain medication.
She turned to face her friend.
"So, did I miss much? while I was here?" Amy inquired, happy to see her friend.
"*Sigh..." Usagi looked at her friend Ami. Unsure where to exactly start.
"Well, it started about a week ago. After you fought with the monster at the construction yard..."
THE END.

Chapter 22
We need to Talk.
No one is leaving a winner.
John and Randy were walking back to the front of the mill as Johnathan's wounds healed, when Randy stopped.
"John, hold up."
"Sup?"
"Listen, umm... Sharah's dead." Johnathan heard him, but didn't quite get it.
"We were comeing to find you, but we ran into the girls and she died while we were getting away." Johnathan's thoughts swelled in a mix of anger and sorrow.
"Listen man, I'm sorry."
John's head ducked down in accepting the news.
"So why were you comeing for me?"
"We need you to turn the blocker off, to call the others back here. Rayne is also dead. Hana is hurt bad, and Regina is tyring to keep Gail alive."
"Fuck... [sigh] Yeah, uh, Where's Sharah?"
"Dude, she died."
"Where?!" Randy lead John over to where Sharah died. Randy didn't dare say a word as Johnathan looked over her lifeless body.
Gunfire was heard echoing in the mill now, interupting John's thoughts. The remaining Senshi were embolded by their vicorty over the Creature and now took the fight to the remaining gunmen. He picked her up and carried her over his shoulder.
"Lead the way."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][POOM Click-Clack!!] The gunmen fired.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakkakkakKakKakKak!!] They swept side to side, keeping the Senshi at bay. [KakKakKakKakKakKakkakkakKakKakKak!!]
"Angie, where the Hell is Rex? We need him now!" Tanner asked.
"I don't fucking know! Stop asking me!" [KakKakKakKakKakKakkakkakKakKakKak!!]
"He'll be here when he's done whatever it is he's doing."
"Supreme Thunder!" A bolt of collected lightening flew from her hands and ripped a hole in the parked car inside. [BOOM!]
"Geez, these people won't stop for anything." Sailor Moon said aloud.
"Can't we get them to stop shooting even for a while?"
"Got anything in mind?" Pluto asked.
"Well they must know we killed one of them earlier by now... If we told them about that monster they sent after Amy? That we killed it."
"She's got my vote. Just get them to stop shooting at us!" Jupiter answered.
"Okay, does anyone have a white flag?" Of coarse there was only one thing white they had.
(Uh-oh) Venus thought.
"THE SIDE!" Pluto shouted seeing three of them.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakK akKak!!]
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][POOM Click-Clack!!]
"Dead Scream."
The purple sphere of energy was only half it's normal strength, but more than enough to get them running for cover.
[POOM Click-Clack!!][POOM Click-Clack!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
She saw one of them aim at Sailor Moon.
"LOOK OUT!" She shoved her out of the way. [POOM Click-Clack!!][POOM Click-Clack!!]
She took two large rounds in the worst way
[KakKakKakKak-KakKakKak-KakKak-Kak!!][KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak-KakKa k!!]
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak-K akKak!!]
Pluto was writhing in agony as the gunmen swept their fire without reguard.
One gunman with a shotgun, ran hellbound and grabbed the fallen Senshi by her foot and dragged her back to them.
Pluto realised what was going on and struggled. The gunman began beating her with the stock of his gun. She almost stood up when the stock was whipped across her shoulder one way then across her head from the other way. Five more stikes from him then he dived down on top of her and wrestled her arms and neck to cut off her breathing.
"Would one of you guys get some cuffs on her, like NOW!" Ronnie yelled.
Another gunman came in and pulled out a handfull of orange, flex-tie handcuffs. First her wrists were restranded behind her back, then between fireing back and restraining her legs by force, her ankle were also restrained.
[KakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakK akKak!!]
Pluto was now their prisoner, and helpless to do anything about it.
"HELLYEAH, WE GOT ONE!" Ronnie exclamed.
"NO! NOOO!"
"SETSUNA!" various cries came from the senshi seeing their friend taken.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakK akKak!!]
[POOM Click-Clack!!][KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!][POOM Click-Clack!!]
As they fired, Tanner saw to his side people in dark clothing. At first he couldn't out two and two togeather, but when he saw they were armed...
"COPS!!" [KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] Rifle rife drove the police back. None were hurt that time.
"Where?" Ronnie yelled
"The side, that way. Must be another door."
"On it!" Ron bolted off the floor picking up another pouch full of shotgun shells and ran towards the cops alone. [POOM!!] But just because he was alone, didn't mean he was helpless. [Click-Clack! POOM!!] Buckshot slammed a cop down. Now, unfortunatly, the police were playing Ronnie's game. Up close and chaotic! [POOM Click-Clack!!] He missed on that one. Ronnie had the upmost respect for the shotgun.
A: He was always kindda short-sighted since he was a young teenager, so the shotgun was a forgiving weapon as far as accuracy went.
B: Up close... the shotgun took off limbs.
He saw the cops take safty behind a balistic shield. [POOM Click-Clack!!] The blast didn't kill or harm anyone, but it knocked the shield-man on his back. Everyone else ran for the door in the narrow passage outside. [POOM Click-Clack!!] He shot a cop and severed a arm off at the elbow. He quickly started reloading shells as fast as he could. He looked up and saw them coming again with another Shield-man.
[POOM Click-Clack!!] The first shot stund him. [POOM Click-Clack!!] That blast caused him to fall. Ronnie whipped out his Glock pistol. [BLAM! BLAM-BLAM!] One cop was shot twice in the back as he ran for the door again, but he lived. The other was shot also in the back as he ran but he was shot in the upper spine. [BLAM-BLAM-BLAM-BLAM!]
The group of officers outside were amazed and horrified at the same time.
"How many repeled you back?" The Japanese Police Captain asked his wounded officer.
"Just one." He said in strain.
(Who are they? What's wrong with them?) He thought.
"Come on in bitches, the waters' fine!" Ronnie yelled from inside. His shotgun was fully loaded again and he waited where they could not surround him in the narrow hallway.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
[KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!] Adrien saw something as the gunfire echoed. A white cloth being waved side to side on a thin steel pipe.
"Guys, Guys! Hold it!" Adrien yelled loudly. Finally everyone eles saw the white object being waved, and also stopped shooting.
"Well, they stopped shooting at us." Sailor Moon said.
"Wonderful, now can I have my top back?" Venus said from behind a stacked pile of 55-gallon drums.
"Think they're giving up?" Tanner said quietly.
"Don't know." Adrien answered.
"Okay, it's your show." Neptune said to Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon walked as close to the edge of her concielment without being seen. She started mustering her courage for what she was about to do.
John and Randy finally showed up from the side.
"Where the hell have you been? Do you know the level of shit were in?" Angela asked as Johnathan set the deceased on the floor.
"Who's that?" She asked quietly. Randy whispered in her ear. When he left Angela smiled an aproached John placing a hand on his cheek.
"Johnathan?" She said sweetly.
But her words were cut off when Randy put the muzzle of his AK in her ear.
"Get away from him, phycho. You already have Rex. You don't another like him."
"Relax Randy, Sharah alrady told me to go to her sister back home." Johnathan said.
"Even while dead, she can outsmart you." Randy said to Angela.
In a fit of rage she swung her AK against a wall, twisting the metal-wire stock in half.
(Fucking perfect.)
"Oh by the way, John turned the blocker off. You can call the others now." Randy added.
Tanner was immedeatly on his hand radio trying to contact the others.
"We would like to offer you a chance to surrender, and return our friend unharmed!" Sailor Moon called from across the room.
Angela and Johnathan heard that and was stunned.
"The fuck did she just say?" Angela said.
"What, what?" Randy wondered at her expression.
"Shut-up." She said in a hushed tone.
<"We fought your monster earlier and defeated him. We do not want to fight any more if we have to, but we will. We're offering you a chance to surrender peacefully.">
"Bullshit, I think she's lying." John said to Angela.
<"I think your lying.">
Not in the most coopertive talker Angela was.
As sailor Moon and Angela talked. Amy finlly found the remaining Senshi. She arived without a scratch on her, through her clothes were bloodied and ripped.
"My goodness, Amy. Are you alright?" Venus asked.
"Yeah, I'm good. I miss anything?"
"You're not going to beleve this but we killed the Monster. We sank it in the molten steel. We killed it."
"You killed Rex, Really?"
"Yeah, Rex isn't... Who's Rex?"
"The Creature you said you killed."
"Who told you his name?"
"Uhh... noone."
"Anyway, we stopped the fighting and were trying to talk our way out."
"I can kill'em."
"No don't They took Setsuna prisoner. Sailor Moon asked for this. She talking to them right now." With that heard, Amy agreed and didn't attack.
Everyone else, minus Ron, was listening to every word as John translated between Angela and Sailor Moon. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Rex couldn't have been killed.
Although Johnathan translated the two, he stayed next to Sharah. Nearly the only noble thing he could do at this point.
Ronnie arrived again. He secured the hallway with what he could into an effective barricade. It'd be a while before the cops would break through.
"What's shakin'? I miss anything?"
"Plently. Aparently the girls killed Sharah and Rex." Regina answered, as she pressed her hand over a bloody wound on Gail trying to keep him alive.
"Man, the things I miss." He said as he looked at Sailor Pluto.
"Don't worry, Tanner is working on getting the others back here to help us."
"Awesome."
Tanner came back.
"Guys we have a fucking big problem. I tried calling out to Larry and Carlos, but all I get is a buch of Japanese chatter."
John grabbed the radio from Tanner.
"Larry, Talk to me." .....Nothing.
"Emil? Pick up." .....Nothing.
"Carlos, Vinnie. YOu there?"
<"This is the Acting Captain, Motosuwa of the Tokyo Police Department. If this radio signal is sent by any of the other criminals from the Bank robbery, I am to inform you the two criminals here are dead. You are to gi--"> That was all John needed to hear.
"Vinnie, Carlos pick up the damn reciver right fucking now. If either of you can hear me, just tap on the reciver to acknowledge me."
....Nothing.
"Pick up, or tap the reciver."
....Nothing.
"Vincent, you pot-smoking bastard, pick up!"
....Still no answer.
"Hey Carlos, Your mom is a whore. What do you think of that?"
Most everybody knew Carlos was very defencive about him mom. But still even with that, no answer.
"Guys, I agree with Tanner. We have a fucking big problem, and if blondie is right and they did kill Rex..."
"Then we're all that's left?" Regina added.
"Then it's Adrien, Me, Regina, John, Tanner, Hana, Randy, Angela, an Gail?" Ronnie added."
"Alive, yeah. Useful and fit, you can take off Hana, Gail and Me." Regina added.
"So it's just six of us, against the girls, an the swarmin' cops outside."
"Don't forget Amy still alive." John added.
(Oh this night keeps getting better and better.) Adrien rolled his eyes back in anger.
"Does anyone here have any good news?"
"Working on it." John added quietly.
Angela halted the talk with Sailor Moon.
John, could you fight your way out? Even so much as to get the cops out of the way?"
"I could, but if I leave, Amy gets to do anything she wants to you. And if I deal with only Amy again. Then you'll have to deal with both the Cops and the girls."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Please tell me they're talking about leaving." Endymion said quietly.
"If they're not..." Neptune added.
"No, they have too." Venus interupted.
"They must."
"But lets also remember that so far they've done nothing but cause harm where ever they go. Who's to say they won't use this time to do something more hurtfull to others?" Sailor Moon added.
"If they're not willing to talk, we have to accept the fact, it will either be us or them. To the death, and we've seen their resorces, and being willing to die. For goodness sakes they captured Setsuna. Could they do the same to us?" Endymion was in fact afraid, but his speech wasn't helping either.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ronnie spoke.
"Okay, let's just wrap up our proplem sheet. We have a thousand angry limp-dicked cops outside, we have three of our car still parked outside and likely by now taken by the cops, we have a handfull of little girls nearly worth fucking capable of killing John now, over half of us are dead useless or dying, and one very pissed... whatever the hell you are on their side." He said pointing at Johnathan.
"Yeah, I'd say that counts for hearing for a way out." Tanner added.
"Guys." Regina spoke up.
"Guys, we need to get Gail out of here or he's going to die here. I can't help him here. He needs painkillers, a blood transfusion, and at least a clean roon so I can at least close his wounds, or he'll go into shock and die here."
Angela rose her hand...
"Hey... I got a stupid idea. But I'll need John to come with me."
The gunmen looked at eachother for a moment.
"I think I can talk our way out of here with just us and her. Maybe I can get them to let us out of here alive. We can probley not-leave empty handed." Randy didn't seemed to object.
"Alright, go for it."
"I'm comeing to." Ronnie added.
"What for? What I'm about to do is near suicidal."
"Well, you know... for letting me fuck you last night."
"What does that have to do with getting out of here alive?" She asked with rattle in her voice. Not an ounce of embaressment or shame showed in her voice or her face. Not a hint of a trace of blush showed.
"Hey kids, can you arguee who fucked who last night after we're far away from danger?"
Adrien interupted.
"Angie, accept his help." The three left, into the open. Angela, Johnathan, and Ronnie. They slowly walked away from their remaining cover and fire-support. Angela explaned briefly her plan to the other two as they walked out further away.
They stopped...
"<Sailor Moon, we here to talk. Face to face.>" Angela said first.
"<You, and only two others can join you, with us.>" Moments passed... deathly quiet until Sailor Moon walked out, then Sailor Venus beside her, then Amy on her other side.
They walked out slowly and stopped halfway.
"<Throw your weapons away!>" Venus shouted.
"<Only if you revert back to normal first.>" Angela responded.
"<We're not here to fight, we're here to talk it out. OUr weapons are for the cops if should they break back in. Nothing else.>"
They were all reminded again that these people held the life of a officer very low.
"<Fine.>"
"<Before we talk, I want some ground rules layed out, that both of us will abide by.
1; Only you and I will make the final decisions.
2; Our companions are here for security, not to fight eachother.
3; Neither him or her will speak or fight as long as we talk.>" She said pointing to Johnathan then Amy
"<Do you accept these conditions?>"
Sailor Moon thought for a moment. She couldn't think of a better way to keep the Assailant from harming anyone, even if brief amount of time.
"<I accept.>"
(Clever little Angie.) Johnathan thought to himself. Amy felt an involuntary jolt in her head.
Both sides moved closer to eachother. Neither side had to shout.
"<Alright you asked for the peace talk, we're here. So what do you want?>" Angela inquired.
"<We want our friend back first, then we want you to leave.>" Sailor Moon demended.
"<I seem to recall taking her fair and square. And since you wanted this little talk, you must have something in trade we'd want to accept, right?>"
"<Well, let's talk about the leaving part... If we let you leave, you must accept that the cops outside are there at their own free-will, in servace to the state. You would not stop us from escaping.>"
Sailor Moon knew what she ment. If they were allowed to leave, the police outside would die as they made their escape, and they'd all have to look the otherway, and do nothing.
"<No, that's not okay. You've killed and hurt to many people to be allowed to escape.>"
"Gail, cops, no time left." Ronnie said very quietly through his teeth, just loud enough for Angela to hear.
"<Little girl, Let me explane something. I am laying out the terms of both our...peacefull departings. Now about your friend... What do we get if we return her back to you?>"
"<What do you have in mind?>"
"<Her.>" Angela pointed to Amy.
"<We'll trade stright up. Your friend returned alive, though slightly brused, but still awake. In trade, you give us her.>"
Ronnie was the only person not aware of was being said, but from what he saw on there faces, it horrified them.
"<How dare you ask such a horrible thing?! We do not trade our friends for another frined, as if they were mere playing cards. Give her back, then we'll let you leave.>"
"<Shit like that dosn't work today little girl. Now I need an answer. We'll trade your friend for her, so long as you leave and leave us the hell alone.>"
"I can't beleve they ask for something like that so boldly." Venus said aloud.
"What do you think they're planing?"
"I guess they're trying to leave. With that monster dead, it must have scared them that we can do that." Sailor Moon answered.
"Amy what do you think?"
Amy said nothing. She looked at her and only spoke with her eyes, but was somehow unable to speak. She always had an eye on the Assailant, and for some reason shewas kept her from doing anything.
"Amy, are you alright?" Sailor Moon asked. Again no responce from her.
"<Hey Girl, I need an answer, and I sure as hell don't mind leaving. Yes or no?>" Angela asked again.
"She's crazy, even if we traded Amy for Pluto, what could possably stop Amy from killing them?" Venus said.
"I think you're right, look. Her neck." Venus did look, the persons neck was patched up with cloth and tape with dried blood caked on her skin.
"I get it, she can't think stright."
"Yeah, it might make seanse to her, but she cant think right.>"
"Should we try?"
"Yeah."
"<Alright, we'll do it your way. We'll trade Amy for our friend, and we'll leave and let you escape. But we must insist that our friend be brought here.>" It was a fair enough request.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ronnie was a little mad. He fought so hard to wrestle the woman down and to have her restrained, but now here he was running back to get Sailor Pluto from the front of the mill. He stood her to her feet by her waist, then lifted her on his shoulder and carried her back. He was deceptivly string for such a skinny guy.
"I hope everything is going our way." Regina said as she watched Ronnie walk off.
"Ughhhh." Gail moaned.
"Hey look at you, you're still alive. Hang in there, we're working on getting you out of here.
"What's_ goin' on?" Gail asked in a slurred speech in agony.
"Angela is talking our way out of here with the girls."
"...The fuck did you say?" His speech perked up.
"You rest our only way out to an unmedicated-bipolar-schizophrenic? What the Hell is wrong with you?!"
"She speaks Japanese. So she the only one."
"Woman, Johnathan speaks it. Why do you think he's been here for so long? ARUGHH!!" His fury in his words finally were silence as his pain swelled.
"You,, got us all killed, and.. it's going to be... your... falut!" His breathing was ragged, his voice was strained, and his skin was pale from his injury."
"Oh shit, why did we let Angela go out?!" Randy yelled.
"Oh man, we're fucked!" Adrien also yelled. Tanner heard this and slid down against the wall, burying his head in his hands.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ronnie came back, cargo in tow. He set her down carefuly, but still had the muzzle of his shotgun on the back of her head.
"<Here she is, as promised. Now about our deal.>" Angela said.
"<You agreed on the trade correct, or are you backing out?>"
"<No, we agreed.>" Sailor Moon answered.
Angela only wished she didn't have to hold back her mile wide smile.
"<Okay, this guy will walk her over to you, and Amy there will walk over to us.>"
Sailor Moon nodded to the trade, then nodded to Amy. Ronnie walked Pluto to Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus slowly, as Amy walked over to Angela and John.
Everything was kindda going well...
"<FREEZE! THIS IS THE POLICE!>" Came a amplified voice. That ended the peace.
Angela broke her consentration and focused on the invading police.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKak-Kak!! ]
Ronnie kicked Pluto over to the two Senshi and ran for cover. [POOM!! Click-Clack]
[KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKak!!] [POOM!! Click-Clack]
The remaining gunmen at the front of the mill heard the gunfire, but couldn't move. Whatever was happening was theirs alone.
Sailor Moon and Venus caught Pluto and carried her away, not once looking back. They had to first remove Pluto's restraints before they could resume the fight.
Angela and Ronnie were shooting at two ends, but it was ronnie alone that noticed Angela was not paying attention to Amy standing by herself. [POOM!! Click-Clack] He drew out his pistol again. [Blam! Blam-Balm!] He rushed closer to Amy. [Blam-Balm! Blam-Balm!] Cops were comeing in no matter waht at his point, and ronnie knew it. He was once again closer to Amy so she could hear him.
"Amy!" She turned at the sound of her name, and saw him waving her over to him. She walked over to him.
[KakKakKakKakKakKak-KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!!]
Angela was still highly involved in shooting back at any cops in front of her.
"Amy, do you speak any english?"
She nodded.
"Yes." She answered in english.
Ronnie gentaly, though quite intimidated, put his hand on the side of her face.
"Good girl." Seeing no negetive or violent reactions from her, he handed her his shotgun.
"Load it." He told her. As if she had done it a thousand times before she began inserting the 12-gauge rounds in the gun.
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! ]
[KakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKakKak!! ]
[Blam-Balm!Blam-Balm!] [Blam-Balm!Blam-Balm!] [KakKakKak-KakKakKak-Kak!!]
"Angie, we need to leave now!" Angela heard that
"Front Side!" Angela leaned on her AK and bolted for the front of the mill. Ronnie and Amy close behind.
No sooner Angela and Ronnie made it back to the front...
"Oh shit I forgot the girl..." Angela turned saw Amy standing next to Ronnie.
"Ronnie?"
"Amy, there are cops outside the front door. Be a good girl and freeze them all." Then Amy did exactly as she was told. She marched outside streching out her hind. [WHOOOOSH!] It didn't take long. Hundreds of responding police officers were fozen to death in an instant.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Endymion sliced the restraints with his sword.
"Are you okay?" Jupiter asked her.
"Yes, thank you, I'm fine, just a bad headache."
"Thank goodness." Sailor Moon replied.
"So now what do we do with the bad guys?" Venus asked.
"Where's Amy?" Emdymion asked a very important question. They all look around.
"She was behind me last I saw. I thought she was following you." Sailor Moon said.
"No... I thought she was following you." Venus said.
"Then where is she?" Pluto asked.
"If she's not here, she must be fighting them." Endymion added.
"Alright, Pluto stay here with Neptune, the rest of us will find Amy, and hopefully end this night." She nodded and the others ran off.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The front of the mill was as quite as a graveyard. No sirens, no gunfire, no shouting, nothing. The gunmen loaded the wounded lengthwise in the back seats of the cars. Everyone piled in the cars, just as Johnathan came back out of the mill carrying Sharah's dead body.
"Oh come on John, she dead. You know we can't take her back home!" Regina tried to rationalize with John.
"I'm not leaving her here to be groaped and burried in a numbered box in a cold mourge. I'm at least going to bury her. Away from here." He answered.
Then the last reamining Senshi showed up.
"Dammit, I thought they'd left by now." Said Ronnie.
The Senshi stoped running at the sight of the armed gunmen.
"<FUCK...OFF!>" Angela said pointing her AK at Sailor Moon.
"<No, you're not leaving after what you've done!>" Sailor Moon anounced
As she talked the others looked around for Amy.
But they also saw the hundreds of frozen people. Frozen in place as if Amy did it again, like last time.
(What happened here?) Endymion thought.
"<This is the deal you setteled on. You have your girlfriend back, we're cutting off the fight. Now get lost!>"
"<We fought and defeated your monster, we can still fight against you.>" Jupiter said aloud.
Johnathan walked out into the open [shirk] The blades in his left arm drew out.
Then Amy walked out standing not far from him. Everyones attention diverted to her.
"Amy?" Sailor Moon called.
"Amy what are you doing?" She asked. Ronnie with his shotgun pointed out couldn't hold his smile back, but he didn't laugh.
"Amy what are you doing? Fight them, You're all we have. You can be..."
"Shut up, and go home." Amy interupted.
"Amy? Don't you see them. The people who have hurt and killed so many people around you? Fight them!" Endymion said.
(Oh, NOW he want's my help.) Amy thought. Regina emmitted a high pitched whistled. A signal far them to get moving soon. The gunmen walked backwards, and entered their cars.
Sailor Moon ran up ahead.
"<Wait, Please! Wait!>" She placed herself between the departing three cars and the main entrance of the parking lot of the steel mill.
"<If I get stop you from leaving, then leave our friend Amy here.>"
Ronnie grabbed a spare FAL from inside the car and began aiming at Sailor Moon. A small hand on his shoulder gained his attention.
"Let me." Amy said to him.
"Don't screw it up." Ronnie answered.
Amy got out of the car, and aimed her hand at Sailor Moon.
"Amy?" [WOOSH!] Amy did what she could to passify the gunmen inside the cars. Sailor Moon was knocked to the ground and was left nearly freezing to death.
It was so cold, it robbed the air in your lungs. It was so cold, your eyes would roll backwards in shock. It was so cold, you forgot the warmth of summer ever existed.
Sailor Moon was on her side on the ground in tears. She saw Amy's eyes just as she fired on her, without a drop of remorse. No sooner Sailor Moon was on the ground Amy returned to the car sitting beside Ronnie.
"Good girl." Ronnie said.
The three remaining car drove off.
"Please, why did you do this?!" Sailor Moon shouted
"What was it for?!" The gunmen heard her. Johnathan and Angela understood her, but they didn't stop from leaving.
"PLEASE COME BACK! wHAT WAS IT ALL FOR?! come back here! GIVE AMY BACK YOU MONSTERS!! GIVE HER BACK!!" sailor Moon shouted and screamed in a fit of high-pitched screaming filled with anger... then sorrow.
"Give her back..." She said quietly as the car dissapered at the turn of a courner, then they were gone. She cried and sobbed.
Her friends came to her side and helped her up. They collected their wounded and the sore. They had to leave. Emotions ran high, anger boiled, wounds screamed, muscles ached, energy drained, their numbers were far to few.
At the hospital, Rei felt what had happened. She sobbed and cried as well. Silent tears fell fro her eyes into her pillow. She again grabbed her communicator and called Haruka.
"What the news?" Haruka asked with hope.
"...It's over- We lost." Rei coulden't talk anymore and just wanted to go to sleep.
Haruka felt as if her heart was going to be ripped in two.
(We lost?)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The gunmen drove in the night quietly throught the tokyo streets.
Johnathan still had Sharah body in his arms. He took her hand and carefully removed a ring from her hand, then her necklace jewlery. Those would go back to her sister.
Regina and Randy were both doing what they could to close Gail's wounds, as he moaned and yelled, as he struggled to live.
Ronnie looked over to Amy.
"Amy?" She looked at him.
"You're not comin' back here."
A brief pause before she understood his order.
"Okay." She answered quietly. She looked down at her hands. Her skin was black like coal, thick like leather, and sharp like knives.
*Sigh. (I used to have preety hands.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Eleswhere, near the bank. Officers slowly aproached Larry's lifeless body as they rolled him on his back, then carefully pealed his skimask backward.
They were still fightened of him.
Emil layed face down on the street in handcuffs, but he also wasn't moving. He had bleed so much he died of blood loss.
The White Chevy they drove confiscated was filled with five extra machineguns, and over four thousand rounds in spare ammunition.
Vincent was aproached with caution. His eyes afixed into the dark sky above.
Carlos was zipped into a bodybag and padlocked shut for saftey.
Their car really shocked the police, being filled with explosives grenades and three extra machineguns. An arsenal that rivled even a JSDF's servace weapons.
One car remianed at the steel mill, in it was four machineguns, a shotgun, and three-thousand rounds ready for the killing field.
What most of the police couldn't figure out was.
"If they had all this firepower, why did they stop?"
"What were they after?" Questions and more questions.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning, the day before Christmas:
Last night's violent bank robbery was on every news station across Japan. Everybody was talking about it. Stray rifle fire was found over a quarter mile away in people's homes.
But when the numbers started comeing in. The real tragity set in. So many died that night, three times that number were wounded badly.
The gunmen however were more pre-occupied with their own problems. They were back at the Brick Apartments from last night.
"So how's Gail?" Hana asked. Her ankle was set in a brace and she had a good level of painkillers in her.
"Not bad. I stiched up his wounds, and got him to sleep, but he'll need a real doctor to get the bulets out of him." Regina answered.
"That's good."
"Are you okay?"
"...No." Enough was said.
Adrien and Tanner exchanged goodbye's
"Hey man, sorry we din't get what we came for." Adrien said
"Shit happens." Tanner asnwered.
"Listen I gotta go. It's a long drive back home once I get to Alsaka."
"..Yo wait up. Did you say drive from Alaska?"
"Yeah."
"And you still live in New Jersy?"
"Yeah. What's your point?"
"Uhh, nothing.. I guess."
"Say *bye for me, would ya?"
"Yeah. Sure man." Randy and Tanner got back in their car and drove off.
(How the hell do you drive from New Jersy to Alaska in a few days?)
Johnathan drove up in a car, minus one body that was in it before. He was tired and exhausted with what he had to do.
"So are we leaving or what?" John asked from inside his car.
"Yeah, we're just waiting for a van to show up to carry Hana and Gail back home.
Ronnie Angela and Amy all sat togeather. Ronnie had a mile wide smile on him with his Amy around Amy's waist pulled close to him. Angela only boiled from the inside in anger.
(She's mine.)
Ronnie seemed to get off on seeing Angela so mad, and for once, their was nothing she could do about it. Amy was physically back to normal, the way she normally looked without the black skin and boney armor, and the two hinged spikes from her back. She looked normal, but that's where it ended. She just looked normal.
Later a grey van came by, then both Hana and Gail were carefully loaded in. The back door closed and off went those two back home.
An hour later Adrien, Regina, Ronnie, Amy, Angela, and Johnathan also left the apartments in two cars
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At the Hospital.
No celebrations, no praise, no victory. Not this time. Usagi quietly sat beside Amy in her room. Amy was doing alot better. She was off the machines to keep her alive and she was sitting up by herself, still a little sleepy from her pain medication.
She turned to face her friend.
"So, did I miss much? while I was here?" Amy inquired, happy to see her friend.
"*Sigh..." Usagi looked at her friend Ami. Unsure where to exactly start.
"Well, it started about a week ago. After you fought with the monster at the construction yard..."
THE END.
