Just robbin'. And lootin'. And stealin'. And grabbin'.

[solar_flare]

WHO: Alvin, Milla Maxwell, and Yang Xiao Long
WHAT: Yang and some goons are stealing new toys for Bison's grand empire. Oh noooooooooooooooo! Milla steps in to say 'bitch plz' and I don't know what Alvin's doing there. Probably being a loser.
WHEN: The magical realm of backdated stuff.
WHERE: Nova City - Lasers and Phasers


One wouldn't expect a shop that sells laser pistols to get robbed easily. But then again, one doesn't expect a hot blonde teenager to just stroll in, punch the shopkeeper out cold as soon as she's within range, and invite a bunch of Shadaloo thugs to join the party.

Their orders were clear: clean out the shop, bring back everything. So as one might expect, there are a lot of goons because there are a lot of lasers.

They're hardly conspicuous about it, favoring speed over subtlety. One of the thugs even goes so far as to tip over a little old alien lady's walker. That's what she deserved for toddling slowly down the sidewalk and getting in their way!

Milla should have known that a simple police scanner wouldn't pick up anything in regards to "M," but regardless she couldn't afford to ignore any major criminal activity if she could help it. An armed robbery sounded like something worth looking into - and this was a heavily armed robbery. The odds were just too good that she may have found something.

It's a shame, then, that when she discovers the scene, it doesn't look as if M's men were hitting the laser arms shop. The Shadaloo... she could tell by their outfits that they were the ones behind things. It seems, then, that this 'Bison' she had been hearing about was making yet another move... using Yang as a tool. Milla watched on from a nearby rooftop.

"My odds aren't good..." Milla murmurs to herself, taking stock of the sheer number of goons she'd have to clean up. If only she could find a suitable opening...

Luckily for Milla, Alvin had a bit of free time from his work with M today and he wanted to spend that free time keeping an eye on his favorite Lord of Spirits. She had a tendency to get into trouble and well... Alvin couldn't afford to let anything happen to her.

Alvin's keeping an eye on her from across the street when she runs into the Shadaloo goons and Yang. Of course she's going to try and take them on all on her own. She wouldn't be Milla if she didn't.

Alvin will sigh and raise his pistol up to take a shot at one of the goons from across the street. There's the opening you were looking for Milla. Enjoy it.

Oh Alvin, you're so thoughtful. Hearing that gunshot, it doesn't take long for Milla to at least look in the direction of the sound - and what a familiar sound it is. Well, she doesn't plan on wasting the opportunity. Standing on the edge of the building she had been lurking on, she draws her sword and leaps into the fray.

Literally, she leaps down into the group, seeming to be able to land on a magically projected circle made in mid-air to leap again and propel herself across the street to land on top of one of those goons and take them down in a heap. Her impact was strong enough (not to mention those boots, yeowch!) that she knocked that guy out cold.

"Unhand those goods!" Milla demands simply, poised ready to defend herself should their stunned faces give way to aggression, "And while you're at it, relinquish Yang Xiao Long into my custody."

Two goons down before anyone knew what hit them. It wasn't a bad start! But as any good warrior knew, the start wasn't nearly as important as the finish. Several masked faces turned in Milla's direction, followed by several laser pistols...and one Yang Xiao Long turned smoothly to regard the newcomer impassively.

"Target lacks authority to issue commands," she stated, a simple fact and nothing more. "Interference with Lord Bison's mission objectives will not be tolerated. Terminate the target."

The goons didn't need to be told twice. As one, they all fired...

...or tried to. Maybe they should have realized that laser pistols need to be charged before they could be fired at will.
