Robbing My Bank? That's A Bad Idea![Holeman][NR]

So, the villages biggest bank was about to be robbed, or... would eventually at least - since the robbery itself was scheduled for that night after the bank closed, which was in less than an hour, as soon as the sun set on the paradise island. Amaranth was all for sitting and waiting until night fell and then going in there and catching the bad guys in the act; but she figured this sort of job would be better done with a partner.

She had seated herself on the roof top of a building across the way; thankful that the roof's slope was mostly flat, keeping herself mostly in the shadows. She had ditched her red cape for once so that it didn't give her away; and had instead stuck with the bandages wrapped around her chest, black capris with the belts criss crossing at her waist which her weapon hung from, and black sandals. Long black hair was thrown back into a ponytail and her silver gaze was focused on the bank as she took mental note of who came in and out.

"Hmm..." So far three people had gone in at different times and hadn't yet came out, even though they had been in there for a while... and while it could've been a coincidence she doubted it highly.

Some pros were planning to rob a bank in Sunset Village. Holeman was itching for some action since he got back to the island. Normally the kid wasn't so violent; he was laid back and would rather just chill out, or fix something to eat, but maybe it was just some energy he had to get out of his system. Or maybe the chance to go up against some professional criminals instead of the usual bozos was a challenge he didn't want to pass up on.

He left his Uchiha shirt back in his room to dry after hand washing it. For this outing he wore his old white wife beater, his green ankle length pants, and his white sneakers. He made several adjustments to the volume on his headphones before tightening the knot to the straps of his red Du-rag.

The chance to bust some heads and possibly feel on Amaranth was too good to pass up on. The kid seemed to just drop out of the sky and land nearby her on the roof silently in a crouch. Holeman wasn't trying to seem like he was hiding; Amaranth would have known he was coming from a mile away. "Diamond thieves huh? This should be interesting," he said with a grin, fixing his Senbon wristband and red fingerless gloves. "How do you wanna play this, Boss?"

Amaranth could sense when Holeman neared, especially since she had given him that rune. So, she wasn't shocked or surprised as he landed next to her. She looked over at him and chuckled at his Boss comment. "Interesting? More like painful... I don't appreciate people stealing from those on my island, I plan on making sure that they're given a lesson they'll remember for a long time."

She nodded her head in the direction of the bank. "On the top floor of the bank are the offices, now I know from an inside worker that at least one window is left unlocked at night due to the fact that unless you're some sorta Spiderman or a ninja or something you're not likely going to be able to go into it through the top floor." She turned her attention back to the bank, keeping an eye out for the people who had entered but had yet to come out.

"I've been here for a few hours, and from what I've seen so far three people have gone into the bank and have yet to come out... So, my idea is to go in through that window after the bank is closed and the last security guard leaves for the evening. Give the thieves a chance to change their minds and walk out.. if not, catch them in the act and beat a lesson into them... or if things get too deadly, well.. then they can die."

The great thing about this dimension had to be that he could now see underground with his radar, and earth techniques were no longer a weakness to him. None of the 3 jewel thieves in there were underground, but it was nice to see the sewer system and underground passages; areas that could possibly be used as escape routes. After a while of being crouched there on the ledge of the roof and accurately scanning the bank, Holeman quickly identified the 3 inside that planned on ridding the place of it's ice. They had weapons and equipment under their coats, the weapons all equipped with silencers. Safe busting materials. C4. Remote hacking devices.

Holeman reached over and rested his right hand on Amaranth's left shoulder after taking his fingerless glove off. By using his telepathy along with his radar, he was able to put what he saw inside of her head. She'd be able to see through the walls and zoom right in on all 3 of the burglars inside, to know who they were and what they looked like.

Telepathy:

Chakra Radar:

Sense of Strength told him that all 3 were expertly trained in an assassination style of Martial Art. "So these guys will probably be a threat even without those knives and guns they have under their coats," Holeman said. "They won't be expecting a couple of kids though, nobody does. We'll always have that element of surprise, that's the game winner. I'm ready when you are.." He returned the glove to his hand and readied his legs to jump across the street...

262 + 227 = 489/1,000+

She blinked as she saw what Holeman saw through his telepathy. She saw the burglars in detail, able to see exactly what they all looked like. Well, this was going to be interesting, especially since they knew how to fight, and very well.. This was going to have to be handled carefully, but Holeman was right, the fact that they looked like nothing more than a couple of kids would give them the upper hand - at least until they realized what they were capable of.

"Alright, let's go." She stood up, bending her knees, and jumped across the street, landing lightly and silently on the window seal of the window she knew would be unlocked. She quietly slipped it up and climbed inside the dark office. It was a plain office, filled with file cabinets and a fancy looking desk, even a few comfortable chairs.

As she looked around the office she kept herself quiet. "So, I had an idea... Being part spirit I can turn intangible. I figured I could go downstairs, get them all riled up and distracted - they won't be able to touch or harm me either by hand or those weapons - and you could strike while they're distracted. Unless you have a better plan?", she spoke telepathically.

Angelic Physiology -> Telepathy:

Holeman jumped high into the air while sailing his tiny body across the street, resembling a monkey of sorts while airborne. A purple cloud formed near the window for him to land on, while Amaranth climbed inside. Holeman climbed into the dark office next, while wondering how exactly he wanted to deal with the 3 jewel thieves down below.

Amaranth came up with the plan to distract them while Holeman struck from the blind side. It was straight forward and would allow them to avoid having to drag out an unneeded fight. No need to showboat or for any fancy theatrics, best to get this over with as quickly and as cleanly as possible. So for this task Holeman decided to get more practice in with his Chi Manipulation, and possibly make use of a clone. Pump up his Strength and Speed, then strike hard and fast.

That plan sounds fine to me. I'll get into position, when they start freaking out that's when i'll make my move.

Telepathy:

Holeman unlocked the door to the office, opening it slowly to avoid it making a squeak sound, then quietly stepped out. He stuck to the shadows that the darkness of the now closed building created while making his way down to the first floor. Being so small, this was how he was able to move around unnoticed for the most part, but he noticed that the thieves were all equipped with thermal goggles that let them see in the dark. Making his body temperature cold so that the thermal visors were unable to see him was simple. Amaranth was half Ghost, and it was due to that fact that she wouldn't be seen either.

Biological Manipulation:

Holeman moved around from desk to desk in the dark, hiding underneath them and remaining unseen and unheard around the burglars while he waited for Amaranth to make her move...

312 + 489 = 801/1,000+

"Sounds good."

Amaranth's form became intangible before she even left the room, losing all body temperature and solidity. Instead of taking the door like Holeman did she sunk through the floor itself, slipping down to the first rather easily. She then walked forward, going through one wall after another until she made it to the main area of the bank. Knowing that Holeman was likely going to be in position soon she walked herself, invisible as she was, over to the three men with the weapons and tools.

A mischievous grin spread across her face, and she positioned herself, using the rune that allowed her to sense where Holeman was at all times, so that if they opened fire it wouldn't be towards Holeman. With that taken care of she put her plan into effect. She allowed her form to because able to be seen - though still intangible - with the vault to her back. A wail of a sound escaped her, her hair and clothing billowing in a non-existent wind. "You. Shall. Not. Pass." Words she had heard from a movie, but they seemed like they would do the trick pretty easily.

One of the three thieves just stood there, too shell shocked to move, and looking as if he were about to piss his pants - his entire form shaking. The second seemed to be debating between joining his friend in the piss-his-pants scared routine or firing the weapon he held in his hand. The third however just looked towards his shell shocked pals and then opened fire on Amaranth - each and every bullet flying past or through her and hitting the vault and wall behind her.

Amaranth cackled outright allowing the cackle to sound evil as she did so, increase the wind so that it could also be felt by them in and around the bank. Papers ruffled, the velvet ropes that separated the lines for the bank tellers began to sway, even the thieves clothing and hair would begin to move around.

Spirit Physiology:

Omnikinesis:

Chi Manipulation:

The blue chakra surrounded his little form while he raised up his strength and speed. With their attention on Amaranth at the moment, Holeman wasn't worried about being discovered. Amaranth's Ghost act had 2 of them terrified, but one of them not convinced... until he fired his gun. Then, the same feelings his 2 buddies were feeling started to become present in him next.

Holeman decided to use the opportunity to strike. All the men were in close proximity. If Holeman moved correctly and timed it right, he predicted that he could hit all three of the criminals at the same time. He got out from beneath the desk, ran and jumped, all faster than the 3 thieves would be able to see or realize. He jumped and twirled his body in mid-air until he was in the position to punch 2 of them in their faces and kick the 3rd with both of his feet. His fists and shoes impacted jewel thief cranium all at the same time, and all three lost their grip on their weapons and flew backwards in 3 different directions.

Holeman continued to twirl his body while still in mid-air so that he was able to land on his feet again. "Ha haa! I honestly didn't think that was gonna work," he said, his body still coated a light blue from his Chi. He looked at Amaranth's ghostly form while the three jewel thieves were crashing and rolling across the floor around them with yelps and loud grunts. "That Ghost thing would be pretty scary if I didn't know you! Ha haa! Those bullets didn't touch you but I bet I could. Watch.."

Chi Manipulation:

His hands were glowing somewhat along with the rest of his body. He stood behind Amaranth while keeping an eye on the thieves for any movement while moving his hands along her intangible arms and then to her waist and hips. He felt on the coke bottle shape and the beginnings of the "V" that lead down to the groin. Holeman took care to be gentle so that he didn't hurt her. "Never expected the girl in charge and her right hand man to come foil your plans, huh? Ready to give up yet?"  

360 + 801 = 1,161/1,000+

Amaranth watched as his punches and kicks landed on the would be thieves and couldnt help but grin. The idea had worked well, very well in fact. She had to admit to herself that scaring the pants off of three full grown 'evil' adults had been funny, even if she normally refused to use her powers like that. But, these three had more than deserved a good scare for what they had been planning to do. Just as they had deserved being hit so hard that they went flying in three seperate directions, likely with concussions.

However, she found herself distracted from her thoughts as she felt Holeman's hands on her. It was slighty odd at first to be able to be touched as he was doing due to her still being in her spirit form, but she enjoyed the touch nonetheless, and found herself wishing that the thieves had ran and escaped so that she could continue to enjoy his gentle touch - but they didnt and so they had a job to complete. "I probably could have been scarier but I figured it wouldnt be needed once they realized they couldnt harm me with their weapons."

The thieves were coming their senses somewhat. One of the three had tried standing but ended up falling to the floor again, one was unconcious, and the other was just lying there and staring up at the ceiling still dazed. It was sortve a funny sight and Amaranth figured at least one of them was going to need some serious therapy after this.... In jail.

Amaranth allowed her form to become solid again, and after turning her head and giving Holeman a kiss on the cheek she walked behind the tellers counter and pressed the silent alarm, knowing the cops would be here in just a few minutes.
