Chapter 27 - Bank Heist

"GO! GO! GO!" 

"EVERYONE ON THE GROUND! GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND RIGHT NOW!" 

On the corner of the street was the Aurora City Bank, where the majority of people handled their banking business. The day was going as any other day. People waking up early in the morning, heading to the bank to do their business, but still had to wait in a long ass line because arriving early still wasn't early enough. 

Four people walked into the bank like everyone else did. This time, however, they were armed and dangerous. 

The four people were all women. They wore masks that covered their faces and gloves to prevent their fingerprints from being discovered in case they touched something. Each of them carried a high-tech weapon, and one of them shot it into the ceiling to get everyone's attention. 

Panic spread inside the bank. Both men and women were screaming for their lives as they obeyed orders and got on the ground. Parents even shielded their children in case the worst happened. 

"Everyone shut up! Shut the fuck up!" 

The bank became silent. 

One of the women walked over to the bank teller. "You better not have pushed that fucking button ot this will be your last day on this earth." 

"N-No! I promise I didn't click it!" The bank teller was a man, and he was scared for his life. 

But just then, a blaring alarm went off that doubled as an alarm for security and a silent alarm to call the police. 

The woman looked to the side and saw that another bank teller, a woman, smiling as she pressed the red button. 

"Heh, you shouldn't have done that." The Woman robber shot an energy blast from her gun at the bank teller, but she protected herself with a barrier. 

"So you can create barriers, huh? Let's see how much power you can handle." She switched the gun to the fully automatic mode and sprayed the woman with a constant beam of pure energy. 

"C-Carlson! T-Tell my family I love them!" The woman's barrier shattered, and she was vaporized. 

"N-Nooo!" 

"Stop right there, criminal scum!" Ten security guards arrived and aimed their weapons at the four women. 

"Look alive, girls. We have 10 minutes before the cops arrive. Let's make this quick. I will stand guard and look out for the police. Orange, take out the guards. Green, hurry up and hack the systems. Blue, once green is done, take all the money." 

"Got it, Red." Orange took off, transforming into a cheetah, and attacked the guards. She cut open the neck of one guard, then quickly turned around and bit the neck of another one. After that, she morphed into a snake and wrapped around the third guard. 

"Argh! Get her off!" 

"Let's go, Green." Blue touched Green and ran through many walls using her phasing ability until they reached the vault. 

The bank vault was created with technology that is capable of disabling the abilities of women, so she needed Green, who was a technopath, to hack into the systems and turn the power dampener off. 

"I just need to plug in, and...2 minutes until this vault opens. The code for this is super encrypted." 

"Just keep it at two minutes," Blue said as she stood watch while Green worked her magic. 

"Green said she's two minutes out. This leaves us with 8 minutes until the cops arrive." Red informed Orange, who had finished taking out all of the guards. 

"These women don't even know how to use their power properly." 

Red chuckled. "They took a job in security, what do you expect from them, Aegis Corps level of training?" 

"Fair point." 

A minute passed, and nothing happened except for the silent sobbing of the civilians on the ground. 

"Hey, move your gun. The sun's light is reflecting into my eyes." Orange moved out of the way. 

"What are you talking about? I'm not even close to the su-" A needle lodged into Red's neck, making her body start to shake, and she fell onto the ground. 

"Red! Who the fuck did-" 

The glass shattered, and a flying disk hovered over the civilians, creating a holographic shield around them that also carried them out of the building, and a person landed in the bank.

"Who the fuck are you?!" Orange started shooting at the person, but all of her energy bullets missed as the man easily maneuvered out of the way. 

"You're aim fucking sucks." Jin threw a tiny round disk onto the gun, shorting the energy cell inside it, causing it to malfunction. 

"Hmph, I don't even need to use my abilities to beat up a weak ass man such as yourself." Orange lunged forward, attacking Jin with a right hook.

'Amateur.' He dodged to the side, striking her exposed ribs. Thanks to his power kit, the punch hurt her more than it normally would. 

"Argh! Damn you!" She charged back in, delivering a flurry of attacks. She attacked Jin with multiple left and right hooks, swiped at his feet with her legs, and tried kicking him in the chest. 

Jin dodged all of Orange's attacks with ease, blocking some that he wouldn't be able to dodge. When she went to punch his face, Jin counted by wrapping his arms and legs around her own and flipping her onto the ground with a hard slap. 

"Arggghh! Fucking weak bitch!" Orange turned into a snake, wrapping around Jin's body, but his Power Kit released a jolt of electricity that shocked Orange until she passed out, forcing her to turn back into her human form. 

"Jin to dispatch, the first two robbers are down. Headed to the other two right now." 

"Good work, Jin. We're five minutes out." 

Jin placed both Red and Orange in power-damping cuffs and headed to the vault. 

"Green, hurry up. Red and Blue got taken out." 

"It's open." On Green's words, the vault door opened. 

"Sweet. Stand by." Before Blue even entered the vault, Green was taken out with the same dart that took out Red. 

"The fuck?" Blue instantly became intangible, so she wouldn't suffer the same fate as Green. 

"Cool. You can phase through objects. That's a neat power." Jin walked out of the shadows and into the light. 

"A man?" 

"I feel like you're disappointed." 

"Pwahaha! You're telling me that Red, Green, and Orange were taken out by you?" 

"Yeah, is that a problem?" 

"Haha, no. But if you think you'll take me out easy as them, then you're in for a treat." 

"Pwhaha! No, sweetcheeks, it's you that's in for a treat. You'll be taken out just as easily as the others."

"And how do you plan on attacking someone you can't hit?" 

"I can still see you, dumbass." 

"What does that have to-" Jin blasted in front of her and elbwed Blue in the throat, then punched her square in the jaw, knocking her out. 

"It means that light isn't passing through you. Because of that, I simply have to adjust the vibrational frequency of my gauntlets to match that of the light particles that aren't passing through your body. Stupid."
