Lukis: Here goes, this shouldn’t be hard so don’t sweat it, nothing can go wrong.
Bomb: I wish you would quit saying that.
Lukis: Just remember all I told you, go in, take a right, remember, the right is the right way-
Bomb: Dude, I think I’ll remember which way to turn, we are about to walk in.
Lukis: Heh, well, you turn a right and just keep walking down until you ge to a door, dispose of guard, pick lock, get in, get goldens, 10 goldens, then plant sticky mines on left and right walls. Left first, then right, then detonate left and when it’s done detonate right and we will be on our way.
Bomb: Ok, ok.
Lukis: Walk in about 10 seconds after me. God, I hope you don’t screw this up.
Lukis trudged into the City Hall. Bomb looked around the town and walked around a little bit so he didn’t look like he’s waiting for anything.
Bomb: 2 and 1, here goes…
Bomb walked on into the City Hall. He saw a desk with a receptionist and two doors on the left and one to the right. He began walking in and to the door on the right.
Bomb: Easy….
Receptionist: Hey, hey. Sir, you can’t go in there.
Bomb stuck his hand in his pocket and fumbled the fake I.D. card out.
Bomb: Oh, heres my identification which should clarify my right to go out this door.
Bomb: (God, what the hell are you doing, act casual, don’t blow this… This is the simplest heist you’ve had yet….)
Bomb handed the lady his card and she looked it over.
Receptionist: Fine, you may pass through.
She handed it back and he stuffed it in his jeans. Bomb walked on through the door into a hallway. He began steering his way through the hallway. It only turned once right and there was another hallway. To the end was a large door and the the left were a bunch of other doors. Probably offices. Bomb veered past all the offices and opened the big door. In the new room there was a tremendously large vault door and one guard relaxing on a wooden chair near it. The vault had tons of bolts and it had a lock with a handle.
Guard: Excuse me, who are you?
Bomb: I’m Bomb, I uh…
Bomb: (Shoot, what the hell do I do now… Better start talking… Damnit.)
Bomb: I’m here to take over your shift for now, you, uhh… have a visitor waiting for you. He says it’s important and they should be waiting for you, well, what I mean to say is…..
Guard: What are you talking about?
Bomb: You have a visitor and he is now in the Mayor’s office, so you have to go there and, well, that’s all they told me.
Guard: Oh, I see now, how do I know you’re not some criminal?
Bomb: Uh, well…..
Meanwhile with Lukis…….
Lukis: Hello, I’m Lukis, I-
Doorman: Yes, the Mayor has been waiting for you.
The man opened the door and Lukis walked in. It was a large office with bookshelves on the left and file cabinets and etc. on the right. There was a big desk in the middle with the mayor behind it. It was a 40 or so year-old looking man with brown hair and a small bald spot. He was just wearing a suit. There was a small wooden chair infront of the desk.
Lukis: Why hello Mayor Wilkens!
Mayor Wilkens: Hello Lukis.
The mayor and Lukis shook hands and they sat down.
Mayor Wilkens: So we are here today to discuss the Desert Pathway Plan?
Lukis: Yes, you see, we and all of Saltis believe this plan would be great for trade and transportation between towns and it doesn’t cost all that much.
Lukis: (Cmon Bomb, you can do it…..)
Back with Bomb….
Bomb: Buddy, he’s going to leave now if you don’t go! I’ve already given you my I.D.! What else do you want?!
Guard: I.D., what’s that say, this could be an easy fake and I have never seen you here before!
The guard threw the I.D. at Bomb and he picked it up the floor and put it back in his jean pocket.
Bomb: Look, I’m new here.
Guard: Where is your badge? And your police force wear?!
Bomb: I… I…. Look, this guy is talking with the mayor and if you don’t move it poste haste, Mayor says he’s gonna fire you! Actually, I think the guy is trying to steal your job and convince the mayor to switch you and him!
Guard: Why that-… I’ll show him!
The guard got up and stomped out.
Guard: Oh, he’s dead!
Back with Lukis…..
Lukis: Now wait Mayor! Just wait a second!
Mayor Wilkens: Why, this is a great idea! I never thought if it the way you told me it. I can’t believe this, this is a most fabulous idea, why, I must pay you now and get that contract signed.
Mayor Wilkens gets up from his chair.
Mayor Wilkens: I’ll take you to the vault and after I give you your funding we will set up a contract.
Lukis: Wait, shouldn’t we do the contract first!
Mayor Wilkens: I’d rather we get the money first, just follow me.
Lukis: Bu…but…..
Lukis and Mayor Wilkens stepped out of the office and into the hallway.
Meanwhile with Bomb….
Bomb: There!
Bomb’s spear twisted and the vaults lock clicked.
Bomb: Yes! This is gonna be great, everything is going perfect as planned.
Bomb put his spear against the wall and pulled at the door as hard as he could. It opened pretty easily. There was a huge room with the goldens stacked neatly onto shelves. There are about 100 or so in there. He picked up his spear, walked in, and closed the door behind him, since he wouldn’t be taking that way out anyways. It stopped with a clank and a click. He pushed it and it wouldn’t open.
Bomb: Good, now for some looting!
Bomb grabbed golden after golden until his pockets are filled with 10 of them. He dug in them and got an idea.
Bomb: Hmm, one or two extra wouldn’t hurt…..
Bomb stuffed 3 more goldens into his pockets and then tried to dig through all of them to find the mines.
Bomb: Rrr, damn, it’s hard to find one…… There..
Bomb pulled one out but a few goldens pop out as he pulled it out his pocket.
Bomb: Guess I should have taken the mines out first, man…
At that time, the Mayor and Lukis were walking through the lobby. There was an angry guard rushing through and he stopped when he saw the mayor.
Guard: Oh, so this is the guy, huh!
Lukis looked around.
Lukis: Huh?
Guard: The receptionist said you wanted to see me.
Lukis: What?
The guard looked at the recpetionist but she just gave him a puzzled look.
Guard: Oh… Wait… Then… Mayor!
Mayor Wilkens: Donald, I don’t have time for this, now go tell Ms. Violen to make an anouncment that we will proceed with the Desert Pathway Plan, will you?
Donald: But, but!
The Mayor and Lukis turned into the next room. Donald attempted to rush after him but the receptionist stopped him.
Receptionist: You heard the mayor!
Donald: But!
Receptionist: Get going!
Donald: Oh man, I’m fired already…. I’m getting a drink.
Donald ambled out of the City Hall building.
Recpetionist: What’s wrong with him?
Back with Bomb, he had both mines out and he had also stuffed all the goldens back into his pockets.
Bomb: This is it….
Bomb peeled the thin sheet of paper of the back of each sticky mine and stuck one to each wall. He went over to the left wall.
-click-
Bomb: Hmm, what was that?
……………..
Bomb: Whatever.
Bomb pressed the red button on the bomb and ran to the other side of the room but before he could the vault door swung open.
Bomb: Hwoah!
Bomb tripped and fell to the ground and slid to the edge fo the room.
Mayor Wilkens: What the hell was that?!
Lukis: Hey, uh… Who are you?
Mayor Wilkens: Who is that?
Lukis: Oh boy…
BOOOOOOOM!
The Mayor jumped back as tons of gray dust flew past and cement block crumbs blew all over the vault room.
Bomb: *Cough* What the hell is going on?!
Bomb struggled to get up and banged at the left wall trying to hit the mine button because he could not see clearly through the dust. He was panicking but he got himself up felt the wall. His hand finally brushed up on the mine.
Bomb: Yes!
Bomb pounded on the red button of the thing and jumped again to the other side of the room and into the mayor’s office through the hole in the wall. There were file cabinets all over the room and files on fire all around and alot of ashes. The dust had now mostly cleared and Lukis walked in.
Lukis: Bomb, we-
Bomb: Down!
Lukis’s eyes widened and he jumped into the mayor’s office.
Mayor Wilkens: Lukis, what in the h-
BOOOOOOM!
Mayor Wilkens took a few steps back as the dust spurted throughout the vault again just as if it were some sort of instant reply. The cement pieces again flew about and this time he could see light shining out the new hole.
Mayor Wilkens: Hey, hey! Thief! Someone get them!
Lukis and Bomb scrambled to their feet.
Bomb: Lukis, what happened?
Lukis: Just run! Get to the boat!
Bomb: You think the boat will be fast enough?!
Lukis’s eyes widened.
Lukis: Wow, I guess that wouldn’t of worked.
Bomb: Lukis!
Lukis: Man, you’re the crime expert not me!
By now Lukis and Bomb had gotten themeselves up and together. They ran out before the door burst open and an officer ran in with about 2 other behind him. Bomb and Lukis ran through the vault as around 3 other officers dashed into the vault entrance room. 2 of them helped the mayor up but 1 ran in to find out where Bomb and Lukis went. He just barely caught both of them running out. Bomb and Lukis were outside and began running to the water behind the backs of all the shops and buildings and through the sand. They had just ran out of the back of the right side of City Hall. They ran past 1 building and Bomb grabbed Lukis and threw him inbetween the buildings.
Bomb: Shh, shutup!
Bomb ran in too and dragged Lukis behind some barrels and they hid. The Officer ran past and 2 others followed him.
Lukis: We are dead man, we are dead meat…
2 other Officers passed them. Bomb looked around.
Bomb: Look, I’m in charge now, you got that! I’m an expert at this!
Bomb looked all around and he looked up and he finally got an idea.
Bomb: Here, follow me.
Bomb walked over to a pile of logs by the general store and slowly walked up them. A few times some would fall but he got to the top. He was so high and he pounced up and just snatched the edge of the rooftop. He pulled himself up and knelt on the rooftop and looked around. Lukis was right behind him, he got to the top of the woodpile and leaped up. He reached his hand out and just got the roof. He pulled himself up and followed Bomb who was dashing across the rooftops jumping from one to the next. They leaped from rooftop to rooftop, just making it each time onto the next rooftop, until Bomb reached the last one. He peered over the edge and saw the cops go around the building and into the main street. The leading guy pointed each guy into a building and then began walking through the street looking left to right between the shops while the other officers scrambled to the place they had been assigned. Lukis had just caught up to Bomb as he jumped off and onto the ground. He fell to his knees and got up quickly. He calmed down and waited for Lukis to jump for a second. Lukis slammed onto the ground and got up quickly.
Bomb: Man, what happened in there?
Lukis: Well, he actually said yes, that’s what happened.
Bomb: Let’s just get the hell out of here, quick.
Lukis and Bomb sprinted off towards the boat. Thy ran acroos the whole rickety dock Bomb got there first and Lukis right behind, they both gazed into the boat and looked surprised.
Lukis: Hey moron, get the hell out of my boat! What are you doing in there?!
He wasn’t too small but he was smaller than Bomb and Lukis. He had short hair spiked back, blue hair, and he wore a white Karate type outfit, except that they were long sleeves rolled up and he didn’t look like the Karate type. He also wore a black belt.
Guy: Bomb, is it?
Bomb: No, that’s me.
Guy: Whahaha, you are not strong at all yet are you?
Bomb: What are you talking about?
Guy: They said you would be stronger than you look, maybe your looks are decieving, I can only hope.
Bomb: What?! Who the hell are you!
Guy: The names Kyros buddy, and you better give me some respect, you know I’m here to destroy you.
Bomb: Kyros?
Lukis: (Chuckles)
Bomb: Kyros…
Kyros: Hey, I said you give me some respect! And it's prounonced Key-Rose dopes!
Lukis: Get the hell out of our boat!
Kyros: You two better kneel down to me now or you will be sorry.
Bomb pulled out his spear.
Bomb: No, I think you better get out our boat!
Lukis: Man, they are gonna find us, Bomb, knock him out.
Bomb: We warned you.
Bomb pulled his spear back and turned it around, but Kyros jumped into the air.
Lukis: Holy moly, he’s going high!
He stopped in midair, about as high as a 4 story building.
Kyros: Hrrr!
He brought his arm back like he was going to backslap them from 20 feet away and held it there.
Kyros: Hwa!
He brought his arm across and a blast of unknown energy came flying at the boat. It looked like a blast of fire or snow or something but it was all invisible and could only be seen in the air. It looked like the Predator or something as in it could only viewed by the gases.
Bomb: What the!
Lukis: Run!
Lukis and Bomb ran off the dock. The blast hit the boat and the blast blew it to smitherenes. The debris flew about 10 feet up and water splashed over half the dock. Chunks of wood flew into the water and Chryst turned in the air. He crossed his arm and began sending his invisible blasts from his crossed arms onto the dock. It was like he magically made them or something.
Kyros: Maybe now you will understand my authority!
Bomb and Lukis flew off the dock and scrambled into the town. They saw 6 officers running through the streets and jumping out of buildings so they darted right. Just then the dock was torn to pieces, they could hear blast after blast as the shots hit the dock and then the ground.
BLAM! BLABLAM! BOOOOM! BAM!
They ran into the desert and looked behind to see nothing but dust.
Kyros: Yeah, yeah! Run!
A girl burst out of the run down town. People were jumping all over trying to get out but she ran up to the creature. She was cute and had short brown pants. She had a faded red shirt with a brown vest over it, like the cowboy suit Lukis and everyone else around there had on. She had long brown hair and a large brown backpack on her back. She also had a tattoo of a blue angel on her left leg.
Girl: Hey you!
The shots from Kyros blew up all over the sand behind her and exploded through the inn behind her.
BOOOM!
It tipped into the town and shattered all over the sand. After it stopped it just slowly crumbled into itself till it was a pile of dust and wood pieces.
Girl: Waa! You crazy bastard! Stop!
She pulled out a long brown boomerang from her backpack and rushed up to the flying man. She stopped and tossed it up to him as hard as she could.
Kyros: Run Bomb, run!! Gak!
Wak!
The boomerang hit Kyros right in the mouth and he brought his hands to it.
Kyros: Wah!
He fell out of midair for a few seconds and then landed in the water with a huge splash. The water splashed over the sand and bubbles emerged for a few seconds and then there was no movement in the water. The boomerang flew back into the girl’s hand.
Girl: Hahahaha! Hey, I just saved your lives, you two owe me big time!
The girl turned and ran after the 2, she was pretty fast. Bomb stopped.
Bomb: Huh, what happened?
Lukis: It’s a girl, keep running!
Bomb: Err….
Bomb and Lukis continued running and the girl followed them into the desert close behind. She finally caught up with them and they all stopped to catch their breath. They were all stuck in the desert now, and the only way back home was through it, the city would arrest them or kill them if they ever stepped in it again. The desert looked huge from where Bomb and everyone were resting. They couldn’t see an end, just long horizon of sand and dunes.
