Another uncertain evening in the shanties, the time when more law-abiding beings have tightly shuttered themselves in but more nefarious individuals have yet to get started on their daily business. Near the outskirts of the shanties, a few beings are gathered, perhaps more than what would normally be expected and all bearing weapons. They seem...too fit and organised.
And organised they should be, because the heist was planned two days ago, with everyone briefed then. A den of vice...about to be raided, and the plainclothes guard begins falling into place, ringing a certain building.
The doctor said rest and relaxation until the wound healed, but did they really expect the fox to sit out while something like this happened? Angus looks over the meany guards getting ready to raid the den of vice, preparing himself to help as best he can. Just because he was disobeying the doctor doesn't mean he won't be cautious as he replaced his Rapier with a razor sharp dagger, he was going to rely more on the pistol at his side and the musket at his back for this fight to keep himself out of harms way. "So, everyone ready?" He asks, running his fingers along the brim of his hat a little nervously.
Zuika wanders up into the area, her tails swaying softly behind her as she nears. She looks up at the buildings around her before nodding to Angus on approach. She glances to the others nearby a moment before she adjusts her clothing a bit, to better fit in case of having to prepare for any ambushes
Not being the fondest of shanty town, the rabbit made her way rather carefully through the area, not that she had anything to worry about personally. Remembering the briefing, she slowly grouped up with the others that had gathered, giving a nod to most and a smile to the fox. "Ahh, it's a pleasure to see you all again. Dio, Lord Solacious...", pausing for a moment, she looked the new fox over a second, "Person, I've never met before.".
Another wonderful day in Shanty town. At least, wonderful in that Shanty Town way. Dio looks over his equipment by unstrapping the buckler from his back, securing it upon his arm while unsheathing his sword with that harmonious metallic sound. Shield test. The lion slaps his shield with his sword and nods. Shield works. "Ready as I'll ever be, lad. Maybe they finally found a bullet big enough to finally put me down fer good. Never know 'til we jump in," he says, nodding to everyone else.
Slowly, the plainclothes guards tighten the noose about the building - a few of the locals, sensing something with those senses that only living for one's whole lives in the shanties will grant, scurry off before the trap is sprung.
The building in question is a large hovel, with all the windows sealed and a single open door through which the occasional being can be seen stumbling in or out. As was stated in the briefing, a back door lies to the opposite end of the hovel, but is tightly barred for now. Most of the operations are underground, anyway - why waste good Ebon smoke when it can be recycled? Just enough ventilation to not kill anyone, but not enough to waste good smoke...
The plainclothes guardsmen are nearly in place now, awaiting the signal from their commanding officer - Angus, that is - to move in.
Angus looking over those present the fox nods, unbuttoning the scabbard of his dagger so that he could pull it easier as he draws his pistol and clicks back both hammers. "Alright." Turning to the officer he smiles. "I want the noose as tight as possible, I want as many of these beings alive for interrogation." Turning he notices Dio's shield, and his smirk gets a little sharper. "We have no idea what we will face in there, or how tight the tunnels are underneath the building. So here is the plan.. Dio, Zuika, Tzerya and myself will be the first ones inside. We clear the building one room at a time, as we continue onwards I want a few of the guard trailing us to either provide support or to cart off beings into custody." Turning back to Dio he looks at the Lion. "Dio, would you and your shield mind going first, I'll be right behind you with Tzerya following, while Zuika brings up the rear. I don't want anyone getting hurt if it's possible."
Zuika's ears twitch as she looks to the bunny referring to her as she had, and nods a bit " Hello to you, too. Bunny I never met." she smiles a bit, before turning to Angus as he speaks, tilting her head a moment before nodding " Alright. I'll do what I can.. I've not.. Done much such as this, but I'm certain I can do a bit at least."
Tzerya chuckles at Dio, "Maybe they have a rhino-cannonball loaded for ya.", snickering still as her ears wiggled, turning to the silver fox again, "I'm Tzerya by the way.". Covering her nose with a small sneeze, "Ohh, joy...", as her nose twitched a bit more, she kept her gaze fixed on their leader for the time, Angus. Once his orders were issued, she gave a firm nod and smirked, "Ohh, I think we'll be fine. Might be tight, but I'm more than used to tight tunnels.", a small wiggle from the puffball of a tail, Tzerya prepared herself for the breach.
"I though ya might suggest somethin' like that, Fox-kit," Dio comments at Angus, smiling a bit. Strangely enough, the lion takes off his buckler and straps it upon his back once more. "So I 'ad this brought along..." Calling for one of the guards, he shortly comes over to him and hands a large tower shield. Very large, considering what mass it needs to cover. A wall of iron, perfect for the defending lion. Heaving it out in front of him, he takes a position near the door and prepares to take the lead. "'ad it made just in case. On yer signal, fox-kit. Then ya owe me a drink."
Selena falls in with the rest of the group, the wolfess taking some small bits of debris from her clothes. "...I heard something about a group of 'official looking types' around here I don't suppose you've seen them?" she asks with a smirk, giving a half-wave to the collection of beings. Well, they look more official than anyone else around...
Finally, the trap is set. Everyone's in position now, with arms drawn, and the local prostitutes, street toughs and gang members that are attracted by the Ebon den and its clientele have long since fled, sensing danger.
But at least the cordon is tight, and there isn't going to be anyone running through the living barricade, not with all these shields up and out. The moment Dio approaches the door, though, it slams shut in his face, and there's the scuffling of furniture being moved behind it...
Dio takes a large breath, holds it for a few moments, and slowly exhales before looking over everyone in the group. They would be watching over his back, after all. With a nod to Selena and the others, the lion takes a few steps back and holds his tower shield steadily in front of him before taking off in a hefty sprint, colliding into the door and stumbling over a few poor beings that happened to be in the way. "'cuse me!" Shield still firm, he regains his balance and awaits for his teammates to file in behind his shield so he can move forward.
Angus is right behind Dio as the door breaks down, and he shouts in a commanding voice. "Drop your weapons now!" He notices Dio stumble over something, another being trying to barricade the door that didn't manage to get out of the way in time. their devotion to trying to keep them out was admirable, and the nearest one is rewarded for his efforts with the foxes boot to the muzzle. Trying to take out one of the beings from the equation, to try and turn the odds in their favor.
Zuika's ears fold back as she ducks in behind Angus, careful to stay her distance mostly, her hands clenched tightly as she readies a small dagger from her side, holding it carefully out
