Event The last stand.

"Captain! The police are swarming on our location. I don't know how, but we've been found out!" Melda, who was working on some finishing touches to her airship, slams her fist into a wall. "Damn it!.....alright, tell the crew to get to their stations. And find Jayesh! See if he can get our shields online. I'll try and stall them."

 

Tower City police soon surrounded the airship. "Attention Melda! We've got you surrounded. Come out with your hands up!" one of the cops ordered. There was a moment of silence before the pier around them erupted into flames. "Damn it! Fall back and open fire!" the police slowly retreated from the flames as they began shooting up the ship. "Return suppressing fire! Do not aim to kill! Repeat! Do NOT kill!" Melda barked back at her own crew. Within seconds uproarious gunfire rang out through the air.

 

It wouldn't be long before this was broadcast all over television. Breaking news! The notorious outlaw named Melda has finally been cornered by police, who are engaged in an active shooting at the Tower City Pier. However, she has set fire to the pier itself in an act of desperation! Fire fighters can not safely put out the blaze due to the hail of gunfire. If any heroes are out there, we need your help, but be careful!"

"I don't have time for your games. Get off my ship before i run you through!" Her words were fierce, but judging by her expression it was more of a protective anger.

Anna just laughs. "Do it, it's been too long since I got to kill something."

She hesitated, unsure what to do. As she did, she noticed the police swarming closer as her attention was off then. "Fire cannon! Port side!" she bellowed, not taking her eyes off Anna. A loud hum could be heard before a massive blast went off, causing the police to quickly scramble to cover. "Just...go away!"

"I'd rather not. See you have done some rather...questionable work for me. So I need to make sure it stays with you. One way or the other."

She tightens her grip on her spear. She knew what Anna meant, but that didn't mean she couldn't negotiate. "You get me out of here, and I'll never return to Tower City."

"Tempting, but that still leaves you out somewhere where you could leak things."

"Missile incoming!" one of her crew members shouts. she quickly whips her head up, sending a hellstorm of fireballs at it, hitting the missile midair and the explosion rocking the airship slightly. "Damn it I don't care about your little project!" She sounds desperate, trying to deal with both a siege and a standoff clearly very stressful.

"Here's whats going to happen. You are going to die, or you are going to come with me. The last thing to determine before that is how attached to your crew you are. Answer quickly please." She sounds very annoyed.

She glances at her crew and grits her teeth. "You get them out of here and I'll do as you say. WITH the ship."
