Vail and Airchnid made their way to the meeting point after they had several days to plan and stock up on supplies as well for Airchnid to properly heal up from her wounds.
Both of them made their way towards the meeting point as they navigate throughout the city to make sure no one followed them after all this was a secret meeting between criminals that are planning on a heist.
Taking different twists and turns we arrived at a building at the edge of the city upon entering the facility after giving a code password by Airchnid.
Entering the room we're all the head criminal masterminds they were supposed to meet as well as shadow striker talking to a few of them she sees both Vail and Airchnid and walked over to approach them after ending her conversation with the other criminal.
(shadow striker): about time you got here I was starting to think you would not show.
(Airchnid): oh you know I love to make an entrance it's how I have style.
Airchnid been very dramatic with shadow striker obviously showing they have a working friendship if not a partnership with each other.
Shadow striker just shakes her head at Airchnid and took a look at Vail looking him up and down seen his reinforced armor plating as well as his military grade blaster.
Airchnid said she got muscle and it looks like she delivered although shadow strike was expecting more than just one Mecha with a gun.
(shadow striker): is this all the muscle you've got granted he looks good but we're needing more than one hired hand with this job.
(Airchnid): you've seen the plans I sent with what people we have here plus you and I and him it's all we're going to need if there's no complications on your end with the explosives right??
Shadow striker narrows her optics at Airchnid even if she was a friend she still had to be careful with her after all it's coming for friends to stab each other in the back to survive in the city.
(shadow striker): you know me slim frame I always deliver when the explosives are involved and in guns.
Show me the both of them a metal crate full of explosives and some crates with cheap guns that she got her hands on.
Ever since the war broke out getting guns became a whole lot harder for the neutral cities so that their citizens would not rebel going as far as to white out out there alternate mode data from them making them unable to transform into the vehicle forms.
However this heist is successful all that will change for the vault they are about to break open for this heist holds high-grade weapons and energon as well as the alternate mode data that the city took from the citizens.
The only ones who still had their alternate modes were enforcers (police) or city officials like the governor.
Vail can see how important this operation can be for everyone after all many of these people are just suppressed citizens another prime example why the Decepticon uprising was so successful and how Megatron could warp his own ideals to fit his needs after all to the lower cast transformers he's practically the ideal leader that promises them freedom in independence that they never had.
In his old world the transformer universe was black and white good and evil however in reality this new reality he's in there's both black and white and much shade of gray After all there was reasons why they became who and what they are through loss, experience, regrets, seeking power, hoping for a better life and so much more these people are not characters they are living breathing people just as much as his own metal ass is and the more he interacts with the criminals in the warehouse the more he realize that he would fight and die they give these people their liberty back to have the right to work where they want and to live where they want and not to be disposed of when they break down deep in his spark he wants to give them a better life.
Airchnid and shadow striker continued discussing the plans while Vail quietly look through his shop for a small upgrade that Will go unnoticed by everyone hopefully.
[Part shop]
[purchase ….. deflector shields... complete begin integration]
Vail used up all of his money and sold several of his items from his inventory towards his shop in his system allow him to purchase deflector shields given him an extra defense for the coming heist.
Thankfully the integration of the shields were met with no pain or noise so no attention was drawn to him as he integrated the new defense to his frame.
He wanted to be fully prepared in case there's Heist went completely south and never hurts to have extra defense.
His new shields are low grade defense but they will soak up the damage he needs if come into a confrontation.
Airchnid and shadow striker had finished their plan for the great heist and proceeded to give everyone instructions on what to do while shadow striker and Airchnid and several other criminals would sneak through the sewers and cut their way directly to the vault floor going up wild veil in the rest of the muscle their role was destruction so in short terms bail and his team were meant to go straight in to the governor building where the vault was located in Crate as much chaos and pretend they were going through the vault in order to get all the attention on them by both the governor and on-site security.
(Vail):Airchnid you do realize the success of the planned hinders on your group not being detected and if something happens I will not be able to get there to you guys in time.
Vail explains to her conveying his worry that he will not be able to give her in her group assistance if they need it which Airchnid appreciate the concern he gives her after all it wasn't too long ago that he saved her from potential permanent termination from the corrupted enforcers.
(Airchnid): no need to worry on our end we are the best at what we do although you have to make sure your group create as much chaos as possible in order for my group to have success I hope you're up for it my ~~~knight in shiny armor~~~.
Airchnid teased him on the nickname she gave him which he liked after all when he was little he always wanted to be the hero who who wouldn't be but only this time he has a pretend to be the super bad guy well in this case he kind of is since he's about to rob a guy or pretend to.
(Vail): don't worry I'll make sure all the Attention is on me after all I love the spotlight!!
With that both of them go to the respectable groups and begin the operation however unknowns to them alone figure was hiding within the warehouse listening to all of their conversations and planning the individual was none other than the corrupt enforcer that vail did not kill when he saved Airchnid.
(corrupted enforcer): I need to inform the governor with his help I can definitely kill that's piece of slag!
The corrupted enforcer whisper to himself as he slowly made his way out of the warehouse then transformed into his vehicle mode straight to the governor building.
