Volume 3 - Pressure

Pressure

“The key is to keep putting pressure on them. We did what we had to do.”
-Dave Dwyer

*cut through several different scenes quickly*
[At the Grand Plaza, a huge pillar of fire shoot out, scaring many.]
[A group of shops are broken into and vandalized at the same time.]
[A building is blown out, floor by floor.]

Scene 2, The Throne-Room
The Prince: I've received news that there have been several recent attacks from the terrorist group formerly led by Sparrow. I say formerly, because it would appear that Sparrow is missing in action. I don't know if it's a trick, or if he's resting, or something else, but for now Sparrow is out of play. The continued attacks is very bad news tho...

Scene 3, Underneath The Police Station
[Sparrow is in a jail cell, obviously secret.]

Scene 4, The Throne-Room
Irakura: These attacks MUST stop. We cannot allow any more of this. The people can't take any more of this... it WILL end. I want the military to sweep thru this city. I want everywhere checked. We will catch them, no matter what the cost.
[Military personnel are kicking down doors, storming buildings, checking everywhere.]

Scene 5, Canon's Apartment
Atsura: *comes in* I see everyone else is here... I just had to leave my place, the cops are arresting people left and right, im certain they'd arrest me!
Canon: That's what the others have said... this isn't good. They'll arrest all of Us most likely. Why is Irakura doing this? Could it be that Sparrow's crew has finally pushed him over? That must be it. Sparrow's mind is out, but his hands are still trying to choke the life out of Irakura. We need to make sure Sparrow's men are captured before Us. The military is checking the city from the Palace down, that means they're going to reach the slums last. I bet they're hiding in the slums, or even in the sewers...
Atsura: So what's the plan?
Canon: We'll burn them out of the sewers, the gases down there are highly flammable, but in pockets, so it'd be a highly staggered set of explosions. They'd have time to get out. Atsura and Koiki, set the sewers afire. I'll take the others and start searching for clues in the slums. When You're done, search the warehouses in the factory district. Sparrow's hidden there before, when he was involved in the breakout.
The Others: Yes sir!

Scene 6, The Sewers
[Atsura and Koiki light several torches, then set the sewers on fire. They climb out, and follow the path of the fire above ground, waiting for them to come out.]

Scene 7, The Slums
[Canon attempts to start talks with people, but is unsuccesful.]
Canon: Noone wants to talk... it could be that they're afraid, giving weight towards them hiding here, or they're just not interested... I think we'll have to go check the factories, since they're unwilling to aid Us, and we have no leads.

Scene 8, The Warehouses
Canon: Atsura, Koiki! Nothing on Your end?
Koiki: Uh uh.
Canon: Alright. We'll sweep through these warehouses. If there's nothing here, we don't have a chance.
[Canon and his team check warehouses, but don't find anything for a while, then they find a guy in one of them.]
Canon: *sneaks up and hits him*
Man: Wha-
Canon: *grabs him by the throat* Where's the others?
Man: Urk-i-Geh-dont-know-*cough*-what-bleh-Youre talking about!
Canon: *throws him to the ground* I know You worked for Sparrow; this must be where You stored the explosives. Where's Your base? *kicks him in the stomach*
Man: I-
Canon: *pulls out a knife* If I can't have the pleasure of catching the others, i'll have the pleasure of killing one of You...
Man: You wouldn't-
Canon: I would. But I won't if You tell me where they are. Tell me! *throws the knife right next to him*
Man: Alright! Alright! In the slums! By the city gates, it's three floors, completely empty except for the top floor, that's where they are! It has full windows everywhere, that's what distinguishes it. It's by the city walls.
Canon: Youre coming with Us, in case Youre lying.
[Exit]

Scene 9, The Slums
[Canon and his team find the building, and Canon quickly searches it, carefully. He sees lookouts, slips past them, and finds the rest of them on the top floor.]
Canon: Koiki, go inform Chief Soto that We've found the location of Sparrow's gang. And You, *points at man they captured*, You can leave. Don't let me catch You acting as a terrorist again, or I'll turn You in.

Scene 10, Same
[Chief Soto, led by Koiki, leads a military force into the building. There's a small fight, but the terrorists lose. They're taken away, to prisons.]
