INTRO
It was a misty night in London England, and Big Ben was preparing to chime for midnight.
Several security guards were stationed outside the Bank of England. Some stood on the front steps to the main entrance, others stood at the side entrances, and others were on the roof.
Despite the men’s caution, not one of them had any idea of what kind of trouble was about to begin.
A mysterious character, dressed from head to toe in black, was silently creeping towards the bank.
One would be able to tell by the shape of the body, this person was female!
Around her waist was a belt with all sorts of odd tools and gadgets, and another device was strapped to her wrist, which she aimed at one of the men from a distance, and snapped a picture of him like a camera, and then she snapped his partner standing near him.
The two men were frozen in place. They could neither move nor make a sound, and making it easier for the stranger to slip past them without being squealed on.
She then crept up to the front doors, and noticed the security cameras overhead, but didn’t seem the least bit worried about them.
Next, she reached into her waist and pulled out a small object, the shape and size of a cigarette lighter, and aimed it at the lock on the doors shining a red light on it, and instantly unlocking the code, which instantly set off the alarms as the locks were tampered with.
The stranger then leapt up high and used special magnetic grips on her feet to actually stick to the walls-- though the walls were not made of metal!
Many guards and police constables rushed to the doors and found nobody there but the two paralyzed guards.
“Hey! They’re frozen, they are!”
“Well who even done this is still around, I reckon.”
The stranger then reached for her wrist camera again, and snapped a shot of all the men together, freezing them on the spot, and with the front doors wide open, she let herself into the bank, still ignoring all the security camera, but ducking low as any guards came rushing by due to the alarms still going off.
She made her way to the vault of England, and noticed a whole swarm of armed men were guarding it since the alarms sounded.
“Stay sharp lads.” the leader said “Until them alarms stop we don’t make a move.”
His men saluted and maintained their stances, but the stranger felt this was too easy for her.
She reached into her belt again, and pulled out a small pill, and then she reached under her black ski mask and popped in her mouth and waited a minute for it to dissolve. Then she pulled out a small gas bomb, and tossed it into the vault.
POOF!! The bomb exploded, and sleeping gas flew everywhere. All the guards dropped like bowling pins to the floor.
Ever so sneaky, the stranger made her way to the vault controls-- the gas had no effect on her as the pill she took was in fact an antidote-- and then used her decoder to unlock the vault.
The huge titanium door opened wide, revealing a set of solid bars blocking the way to all the jewels, gold and billions of pounds worth.
She used her decoder again to raise the bars, but the automatic door began to close again as the bars raised, as a kind precaution setup by the back.
The stranger then tapped a red button on the front of her belt, which made small electrodes on the tips of her fingers glow with soft electrical currents, which she held at the vault’s hinges, disrupting the system and halting the door from closing any further.
The vault was fully opened and ready for her to rob it to her greedy heart’s content.
“Freeze!” shouted a voice as tones of bright flashlights shone on her.
She saw so many guards pointing their guns at her.
“Don’t move!” the lead guard shouted, but the stranger simply snapped another shot of the men with her camera, paralyzing them on the spot too, giving her the chance to break for the exit, only to run into a big swarm of security guards forcing her to run for the stairs as she couldn’t snap a shot of them all at once!
She ran into a load of other guards on the way, and was forced to fight directly with them.
Showing off great martial-arts skills, she knocked their guns away, and gave the men huge blows to their heads and kicks to their stomachs, knocking them out.
She managed to make it out on the roof and couldn’t’ see more guards in sight, but the road below was swarming with police!
She decided to take a scenic route by slipping to the back end of the building, where she ran into one more guard that surprised her and tackled her to the ground.
“Got’cha!”
The two struggled and fought roughly, and in the midst of it all, the guard managed to remove the lady’s mask exposing her face-- the face of none other than Sunset Shimmer!
Sunset then managed to charge up her electrodes again, and shocked the guard with a much higher voltage, and rendering him unconscious.
She then grabbed and re-donned her mask, and used a grappling hook gun to fire a line at a tall building across the way, and swung herself to safety.
Guards who saw her form below tried to shoot at her with their guns, but her lightweight suit was actually bulletproof, and she managed to escape and went into hiding, unaware that during her brawl on the roof a security camera had caught her exposed face!
The Sunset then pulled out a miniature radio transmitter, “Calling Zero-B. Reporting, test completed, you better be ready to pay my fee now!”
“Patience!” replied a deep voice over the radio “This is only phase one. Once the operation is completed successfully, you will be rewarded and not before.”
Sunset angrily logged off. “Well, at least I know who’s going to get the blame for this.” She grumbled softly, and then headed off into the night.
