Smuggling

[Madotsuki]

The instructions weren't particularly difficult to follow-- just head south until they reached the rich part of Tier 3. According to Crusher, several kinds of law enforcement lived there, like police, lawyers, judges and others of that ilk. It showed. As the two made their way around the corner, they came across a fenced-off area that opened underneath a silver arch. A pair of Stormtroopers guarded the entrance, standing by a giant machine Madotsuki didn't recognize. It appeared that if one wanted to head through the front, they'd have to pass through the momentous device.

Sabitsuki pulled the dreamer back before the guards could notice them. "They have a scanner," she muttered, daring to sneak another glance before ducking back behind the building. "If any contraband gets through, an alarm'll go off."

'And we definitely have contraband,' Madotsuki chimed in, examining her beat-up suitcase. 'I don't suppose my vanishing trick will keep that thing quiet?'

"I doubt it. Maybe we can climb up the fence?"

They continued along for another block or so before turning to move towards the fence. It stood about 20 feet tall, and the sound of electricity crackled through the air. The Night Terror turned to face the albino, whom was standing several feet away from the wall of wire. 'You first.'

Sabitsuki neared the fencing, almost grabbing onto it before realizing why the dreamer was so hesitant. "Are you trying to kill me? I'm many things, but being electric-proof isn't one of them."

They stared up at the wall for a few seconds before Madotsuki phased out. The gang leader watched in surprise as the dreamer floated over to the wire fencing, reached out a hand to pass through it... and convulsed as several thousand volts were pumped into her ghostly form, forcing her to return to normal as the shock sent her spiraling into the alley. Sabitsuki rushed over to Madotsuki's side with a smirk on her face. 'I... thought I could phase through,' she muttered, coughing out a cloud of smoke.

"You have any more bright ideas?" The albino asked, inching away from the smell of burnt meat that now permeated the air.

Madotsuki slowly made it to her feet, examining her singed digits to make sure she still had them all. 'We may have to go through the front.' They made their way to their previous position near the front entrance. 'I don't trust the guys living here to leave our suitcases alone, so we'll have to bring them in. Unless you want to wait here--'

"No way! Errol's in there too, y'know!"

'Fair enough. We need to be fast. If we enter while invisible, they may think the machine's acting up; that should give us enough time to get in, free our friends, pummel that guy and get out before they realize we're here.'

"Why don't we just attack the guards and force them to keep mum?"

'Do we really look like we're in any condition to get in a giant brawl?' Madotsuki asked, gesturing towards Sabitsuki's stomach wound and her own burn marks.

"Point taken."

With a deep breath, they turned invisible and dashed with all their might towards the entrance.
