Once the home of a magnificent ocean, now a glittering metropolis that spans the length of the entire planet. Enormous bridges that hold skyscrapers hundreds of storys tall hang over the ancient waters below. After a small group of pirates docks in one of the city's shadier ports, the Intergalactic Law Enforcement (ILE) descend upon the planet and put it into lockdown; no one gets in, no one gets out. Though the citizens protest, the ILE has one goal that they will go to any lengths to achieve: eradicate all crime fromitself.lanet, no matter what the cost. As a small band of pirates, you must survive the hostile city and outsmart bounty hunters, corrupt city officials, and the ILE itself Starting out As a group of pirates trapped in the city, you've been mainly doing small crimes for low prices. But after what would usually be a simple robbery turns into a chaotic nightmare, you find yourselves sprinting though back alley ways and shady side streets in an attempt to evade the ILE. You are currently in a small back alley. To your right is a door leading into a building. In front of you is a car, possibly locked. Behind you, the police. Now that that's out of the way... Welcome to King's Metropolis
"Well, guess the plan didn't survive first contact; anyone got a bright idea to get us out of this one?" Timberwolf rumbled. His left arm had seized at an inopportune moment, which might have contributed to their current situation.
Aequi looks over her shoulder and then to Marco- "Please do enlighten me." She really doesn't have much faith in whatever 'somewhat bright idea' he came up with.
Taking a moment to look a the others, Timberwolf gave Marco a nod. "Alright, if no one else has something in mind, let's hear this idea."
{ Marco walks up to the car, before shattering the window with his claws } " Everyone, I think I found a way out of our current situation. "
{ He reaches to unlock the door through the broken window } " Oh.....I didn't know it was unlocked.... "
"Well, I guess we can saddle up in this thing; can anyone get this thing to run?" Timberwolf gesturing to the car.
{ Marco pops the hood of the car, before coughing from acute dust inhalation } " Well.....the car idea may be out.... "
"I meant hot wire the thing; don't worry about what's under the hood; we don't have time for that!" The closing sound of the sirens put TImberwolf's nerves on edge. Unslinging the rifle bag he kept his railgun in, Timberwolf zipped open the bag, pulled the gun out, mounted it on top of the roof of the car. "I'll try to 'dissuade' them from from following us while someone gets this rustbucket moving."
{ Marco goes and takes a defensive stance near the opening of the alley } " Thery, could you fix this? "
-thery "WAIT DONT STEP THERE" she points to the mine she set "never hotwired a car before..." she starts messing under the dash
{ Marco stops before he steps on the mine, he backs up a few feet } " Thanks for not letting me.... well for lack of a better word explode.. " { He readies his claws with a satisfying "shing" }
"Hurry up!" Aequi aims the needler away from the group, towards the area she expects the ILE to be standing shortly. "You don't even know what you're doing, do you?"
