Chapter 2 - The Rumble

"You guys on night shift" As the two men turned around in stunned silence Dragoon kicked them in the chest. "so am I"

As the sound of their groans echoed through the docks the crooks who were loading the crates on to the ship stopped has they became aware of Dragoon's presence. The sound of waves clashing could be heard as she picked out a gun that dropped out of one of the crates.

"Plasma blasters" said Dragoon as she examined the weapon.

"Brat" said one of the crooks as he pulled out his gun.

Dragoon felt a jolt through her spine. She dropped the gun and triple flipped to the right as they began shooting. An explosion could be felt from were her attackers were. She saw green flames on the ground.

"How unsightly... Shooting at a girl" said Pyros has she hovered above the starless sky. Her blonde hair danced in the cold wind. The green and fiery aura around her making her look terrifying.

"You guys are in trouble now" said a cheery smiling XO-Nano who was hovering next to her.

"God damn it" Said one of the crooks as they started shooting at the floating duo.

Pyros gracefully doughed the bullets. However XO-Nano had trouble. He started to zig zag has he tried to control his movement. And had Dragoon not thrown her shuriken at the gunner he would most likely been shot.

"Thanks Ad.. eh..I mean Dragoon" said XO-Nano has he corrected himself.

Dragoon felt irritated at the almost slip up. She reminded herself that XO-Nano was still new to this. A green streak went pass the crooks and they all had lost their guns.

"What the?" said one of the crooks has he looked at his empty hands in shock.

MPH appeared next to Dragoon. He was carrying multiple guns. She had to fight the urge to reach her for utilities belt.

"You ok, Pyros" asked MPH.

"Fine" said Pyros with hint of annoyance.

"I'm fine too, MPH" complained XO-Nano.

"Guys, focus" said Dragoon.

The sound of police sirens could be heard at the distance. She ran towards the crooks. The crook put up his hands in front of his face in a boxing stance. But Dragoon could see that his stance was sloppy. She doughed the first two attacks countered. The crook fell to the ground.

"Looks like the cavalry has arrived" said XO-Nano.

The cops came out of their cars and started shooting at the gang. They seem more interested at attacking them rather than the crooks.

"Why are they shooting at us?" asked a XO-Nano.

Fall back Dragoon has released a smoke grenade. They retreated has the smoke enveloped and swallowed them.

It was morning as the sun shone through the city. A group of reporters were standing at the mayors office waiting for the big announcement. Everlyn Sharpwood walked out and began her speech.

"Hello, I am Everlyn Sharpwood and I am sorry to informe you that our mayor Anthony Ashford has been murdered and I have been appointed mayor" said Everlyn with more confidence than she felt.

"How was the late mayor Ashford murdered" asked one of the reporters.

"His neck was broken" said Sharpwood.

"Who do you suspect killed the late mayor" asked another reporter.

"Up until we have received that a group of rogue xenon has been disturbing the cities" said Sharpwood. "We suspect that these xenon are responsible for mayor Ashford's murder"

"Is this the same group that attacked the harbour last night" Asked a female reporter.

"Yes" said Sharpwood has she needed to convince the people that these xenon were rogues. "They have disrupted our once peaceful city. But we are not going to stand around and watch them burn our city to the ground. As of today any individual that are wearing masks are bane and will be arrested as a criminal. That is what I ,Mayor Everlyn Sharpwood, decree"

After a couple of more questions the meeting ended. Everlyn returned to the office where Lurdwells was waiting. "It's done" Lurdwells only nodded has his new plan is set in motion. A plan that will no doubt cause problems for our heroes.
