The bounty... ( Open! )

John shadow talon was doing his normal morning routine. He woke up on his bed in his hideout, a twin sized temperpedic mattress stolen, as was everything else in the room. He got up stretched and made coffee while sipping it he looked through the newspaper to see if there were any interesting heists he could partake in. His hideout was relatively small, he converted it from a bomb shelter made in the cold war, its entrances were booby-trapped and all along the walls were frames containing valuable treasure from all the heists he had completed. Spanish doubloons, human skulls made of solid diamond, and valuable artworks. He looked at an empty picture frame, underneath was a plaque that said monolisa. " Well at least I made off with the plaque before they caught me... "
Then something caught his eye. " Wanted, thief. Bounty said by lord death, a theif living in 1320 sanity street in a cold war bunker is wanted alive, to be brought into lord deaths office in exchange for an award of ten kieshen souls. Or ten thousand dollars. " Crap! " John rushed to get dressed in his leather theif gear while he read the fine print.
The bounty is only to last for one day. ( In thread. )
John must be returned alive.
If a black safe is found in his living space, it should be returned for an additional five souls, or thousand dollars.
John looked at a safe on a workbench, he had stolen it from the dwma right under deaths desk. " Whats in this thing? " He had set aside today to crack it, that's why it was on his workbench. He looked out the hatch, cleverly concealed in a tree stump to see if his opposition was already at the gates.

Argen was reading the newspaper that morning to see a bounty in the paper. "Hmm... Ten souls...? That's a perfect amount to conduct my next experiment..." He thought to himself. So Argen got up from his table and put on his clothes. He gathered all of his weapons and all of the things he thought he'd need. Then he got on his motorcycle and headed towards the house. Once he arrived, he spotted the bunker and walked over to it. "Please come out so I can get the reward..." He said flatly. "By the way, I'm fine with killing you, taking all your possessions..."

john saw a man hunched over a decoy bunker, talking into it from across the street. sunk back into his bunker and closed the door. then he ran over to a radio and spoke into it, his voice sounding perfectly natural. " So your here about the reward, well whatever their offering I can double it. Come on in its unlocked. "

Argen looked around trying to figure out where the voice was coming from. "Why would I open this...? You're obviously not inside. If you were, you wouldn't need speakers would you?" He as he stepped away from the bunker. "What do you mean you can offer me double? Are you saying you have twenty Kishin souls..?" He asked with an eyebrow raised. "I'm gonna have to figure out where the actual bunker is..." He thought to himself.

ooc: The speakers are inside, and cordless.

OOC: ok.

" I don't know what they told you, but this is a deep bunker. What do you want me to do open the door? Come on in, I'll out pants on... "

"You sound a little persistent about me getting in this bunker. Why would I come in...? You probably got traps set everywhere." He said as he shook his head. "Why don't you come out and make this easier for both of us?" He asked as he looked around.

John briefly considered leaving his hideout to go hit the bounty hunter over the head with his blackjack, but thought better of it. " ha! Well good luck collecting the bounty out there then! "

Argen let out a sigh. "I'm tired of this already. I've never had patience. I'm calling the police." He said as he pulled out his phone and dialed 911. "Hello? Yes. I need you to bring a few cop cars over to 1320 Sanity Street. I've got the bounty here." He said. Then he hung up the phone. "The cops will be here soon... I guess we should just wait until they get here." He said as he sat down in the grass.

" You don't chase bounty's often do you? You see, the police are going to come and once they realize it's me, they are going to call the swat team. They use directed explosives to blow open the vault and surprise surprise, I left out of the back entrance. You know, like I just did five minutes ago? You really are thick. "

Argen let out a sigh. "This is getting troublesome, and boring. I can't get ten souls on my own." He said as he stood up and stretched his arms. He walked over to his motorcycle and started it. "I'm not gonna try to find you when I can just go kill the cops for the reward..." He said as he looked into the sky. He hesitated for a moment to see what the guy would say.

John pulled himself off his radio set and the speakers went silent. Lets see, the cops will be here soon and I got a murderer right here. He opened up the hatch to the real hideout and sat on the edge of the tree stump. He turned his upper left arm into a composite bow and a green energy arrow formed. This tranquilizer will knock him out until the cops come, then I just leave a note saying I decided to let him rot in prison and go back home. He lets the arrow fly out of his eerily silent bow.

Argen moved his body to the right and dodged the bow. "Finally.." He thought to himself. "I sensed the energy of the bow by using an ability I like to call Soul Search. I extend my wavelength and it acts as a radar..." He said as he turned and looked him in the eyes. "The cops will be here in about ten minutes. Lets see if I can kill you before then." He said with a smile. Then he pressed a small red button on his motorcycle. The bike slowly transformed and wrapped around his body. It turned into a robotic armor suit. The two wheels of the bike were on his back and they had solar panels on them. "You ready for this...?" He asked with no expression in his face.

WTF! What do I have to deal with robots.... Aha! Emp shot! john pulled back the bowstring and a charged blue shot formed. He lets it sling at the now much bigger target.

The springs on the back of the robotic legs tightened as he crouched over. Then Argen sprung into the air at an unbelievable speed, as well as dodging the arrow. He was to high in the sky to be seen at this point. Then a bolt of lightning sped down towards the criminal.

ooc: Hold up, stopping the arrow with an electric hand wouldn't stop the magnetic field, electricity would have shorted out the emp but it was a soul wavelength arrow. If a computer has anything to do with the robotic suit, ie controls the motion or tells it to transform then it would fail.

OOC: edited.

John slammed shut the thick hatch and sped into his small base.

Argen landed on the ground and let out a sigh. "Come out of there..." He said. "I'm pretty sure neither of us has time for this..." He said as he put his hands on his head.

John searched franticly around the room until he opened up a weapons box. He took out the materials to make a trap and set one on the hatch. The next thing that touches it will be emp'd back to the stone age. " I got all day buddy! "

Argen let out a sigh. "Listen... I don't care too much about the cops. All I want are the souls. When the cops show up, I'll hand you over in chains... I'll get my souls, kill the cops, and let you free..." He said as he folded his arms. "I know you don't trust me, but I don't have a reason to lie to you." He said with a shrug. Then police sirens began to get closer.

" Cops don't deserve to die, especially in a place like death city. " Said john, the police chief was a friend, a highly paid friend. But he knew that the men under him were good.

Argen shook his head. "Fine. I won't kill the cops. But if he's your friend, why are...? Never mind. But is this a deal or not...?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

ooc: He didn't say all that, just the things in quotation marks.
" NO FRICKEN DEAL, GET THAT INTO YOUR HEAD! I. work. alone. "
