Casino rumble

TIME : 10:20PM

LOCATION : ROYAL CASINO

Dan, Sai and Ilara scout the casino from afar taking note of all activities taking place below.

"From the look of things, there are over forty cops down there and I'm pretty sure they don't know what they are doing here."

Sai analyzes the number of cops that were present around the casino.

"I'm guessing there would be a higher number of criminals inside the casino… I really do wonder what exactly this business transaction is worth."

Ilara remarks has she peers down for a better look.

"We should move in, we don't know if they might decide to show up early."

Dan says as he begins to rise to his feet.

"Yeah sure, let's go."

Sai agrees and they all make their move…..

Karan is seen walking into the casino holding a case with a couple of guards following behind him. Crow is already sitted at a table waiting patiently, the casino seemed rather empty with few people inside, mostly random thugs walked inside the building making sure there was no interference from anyone.

"Did you bring it??"

Crow asks as Karan takes his seat in front of him.

"Yeah I did and I don't understand why your boss would go through so much trouble for a scroll that can't even be opened."

Karan remarks as he drops the case on the table between them.

"Well that's for us to know, all you have to do is just deliver and get paid, I mean doesn't it save you the stress of knowing."

Crow replies calmly.

"I guess that's right, so where's money??"

Karan questions as he holds onto the case.

"Of course."

Crow picks up his case and throws it towards Karan who then catches it and proceeds to open it so as to be sure of it's contents.

"Looks good, here you go."

Karan says as he slides his own case towards Crow but before it can reach him it stops and starts to float mid air.

Crow sees this and tries to grab it but the case soon begins to move high above his reach, only stopping when it had gotten into the hands of Dan, who was standing at the stairs with the guards positioned there knocked unconscious.

"What the hell is this??.... How did this happen??"

Crow rises from his chair rather upset by what was happening. Dan proceeds to open the case and takes out its content; a golden scroll with fantastical designs that told a story that could not be deciphered.

"This looks fancy, how much are you selling it??"

Sai says as he takes a good look at it.

"Give that back now!!!"

Crow yells as he points his palm to the place where they stood. Dan seeing this drags Sai and Ilara with him.

"Get down!!"

The area in which they stood comes crashing down with them, the thugs that walked around the casino begin to head towards Karan's location. Sai, Ilara and Dan rise up from the wreckage unscathed.

"That didn't hurt one bit" Sai comments sarcastically as he adjusts his shoulder with a pained expression.

"Give me that scroll and I'll make sure you die quickly."

Crow says as he begins to walk towards them.

"Note of warning; Crow is a variant with the ability to control attractive and repulsive forces."

Dan remarks to Sai and Ilara as he readied himself for a fight.

"Wait what…"

Sai and Ilara are cut off by the sudden attack of Crow which propelled them backward, hitting the wall behind them with a great force.

"Silence!!"

Crow yells as he has his palm pressing all three individuals against the wall. Karan's thugs rally round him and aim their guns at where Sai, Ilara and Dan were being held.

Crow uses his other palm to attract the scroll back to him but is stopped by a bullet hitting his back.

"Who shot that??"

Karan asks looking around but no-one fesses up to the act and Crow falls to the ground unconscious.

"That's for acting like a pompous fool the last time we saw each other."

Dan says with a smile has he gets back to his feet.

"You did that??"

Ilara asks Dan as she dusts herself.

"You pesky rats have caused enough trouble has it is and I promise to make you pay dearly."

Karan bellows after which he gestures his men to fire.

Dan puts his palm forward and stops all bullets fired at them with relative ease.

"Is that the best you can do??.... I expected much better from the likes of you."

Dan remarks in an insulting tone.

"Kill them all."

Karan commands after which the thugs charge at Dan.

"Shit."

Ilara dodges the sharp end of a bayonet and proceeds to hold onto it after which she smacks the owner twice before then using the bayonet to strike him down. She sees another attacker and moves back has the thug tries unsuccessfully to jab her with his weapon, Ilara seeing no way to get close let's out a cry that stuns him after which she charges towards him and performs a drop kick that knocks him out…

Sai disarms his opponent with some quick hand movements that confused him and then lands two consecutive punches which takes him out. He is then attacked by a female and feels a bit awkward fighting her has he did not want to hurt her, the female used this to her advantage to try and injure to which she does a few times but before she can deal a defining blow. she is knocked out by a direct kick to the face that knocks her out.

"Thanks."

Sai says with a smile has Ilara stands in front of him.

"No girl is going to take advantage of my man's chivalrous nature."

Dan uses the iron present in the club to cut down several of the thugs causing the others to flee.

"Weak bastards."

Dan says as he spits on the floor. Before he is allowed a chance to celebrate his victory, Karan attacks with a kick that catches him off guard and knocks him off his feet.

"Don't start celebrating when you haven't actually achieved victory."

Karan says as he walks towards Dan.

Ilara and Sai come to his aid, immediately engaging Karan in a two on one hand to hand showdown but they quickly regret their decision has they collect quite a beat down from Karan without him breaking much of a sweat.

"Damn it, who the hell are you anyways??"

Sai asks as he begins to get back to his feet.

"You don't have to know."

Karan replies after which he kicks Sai in the groin before kicking him again in his face, knocking him down again…

Karan is caught out by Ilara's sonic scream and is completely disoriented for a few seconds which Dan uses to his advantage to send two bayonets into Karan's chest, killing him instantly.

"That wasn't necessary you know right."

Sai says as he gets back to his feet.

"We should go now before the officers standing outside come in."

Ilara remarks as they begin to make their way out.

"Wait a minute."

Dan says as he walks towards Crow's unconscious body and pries the gold scroll from his palm.

"Now we can go."

Dan begins to walk out and Sai along with Ilara follow suit.

*******************************************

The police come running just moments after the whole debacle had taken place.

"What the hell happened here??... Call detective Jonah and ask him to come down quickly, he needs to see this."

One of the officers says to his partner while the others look around the vicinity as they walk through the bloody carnage.
