I told the guy to tell them to meet us at the school that Cody and Dustin went to school. "Make sure they know to bring a truck that can carry all of the loot at 5pm." I said before the clone and I walked off. They just rolled their eyes. We were using Cody's lanky appearance to keep under the radar. When we got to the school, we waited at the gate until school let out for the day. I let the twins know where we were going to be. When they came out, I could tell they both had the suits on. I gave them a more detailed run down on what we were doing. Surprisingly, they both were okay with it. Cody was a latent criminal, so it was a no brainer. I thought that Dustin would have a reservation about it though. "What's the matter? I just want to see if we can actually pull it off." he said defensively. I just smiled and said "Nothing. I was just going to say that I'm glad you are coming along. Someone needs to keep Cody from running of with the closest pretty face." Dustin and I shared a laugh while Cody blushed. "I'm not that easy, alright! I can't help who I have a crush on!" he snapped. We just laughed more.
When 5pm came around, we saw a large moving truck painted over in black pull up. I facepalmed and approached the truck. The two older brothers were in the seats. If the third one was missing, I would be pissed off. "Erik and Dimitri, right?" I asked. They nodded. "You the guy for the bank?" Erik asked me back. It was my turn to nod at them. "Where is Sergei? He was supposed to be here." I said. "Don't worry! He's hanging out in the back. We are the ones who want this job more than anything. We're ready to go!" Dmitri said. I asked them to show me. They grumbled as they got out the truck. They were wearing worn clothes and they trudged towards the back. Like it was promised, Sergei was in the back. He had a hand up his shirt, scratching his chest. "Are we ready to go or what?" he asked. I looked back to the twins and gave them the thumbs up. "Some of my friends go to school here, and I don't have a phone. I thought this would be the best place so we can see each other. Drive straight for a few blocks and we'll get in in. We don't want to make it obvious." I instructed them.
They nodded and did as I asked. I then went over to the twins and we walked to where the truck had parked. I pulled the sword out of my chest before we got to the door in the back. I knocked on it and Sergei opened it up for us. We got in the back and they drove us to their house. The brothers had to scramble from their house to pick up the truck and so they were still not ready. They were going in to get their guns and a change of clothes. They all were wearing all black to the heist. Explosives were also loaded into the truck. I had them transform for me to make sure the information I had was correct. Erik was a Fire elemental while Dimitri was a Water rat. Sergei had a strong Metal affinity. The three brothers all had thin tails and rat ears. A quick look at the color scheme was all I needed to tell their elements. Each of them also had whiskers growing from their cheeks. It was kind of cute. I had five party members and a clone. I was sure that we were ready. We waited at their house until it was dark. I wanted to hit the bank after hours. I did not want any civilians getting in the way of my plans.
As soon as it hit 10pm, we began driving to the bank. I had already gathered them up and explained the plan to them. The clone with the katana was going to go with the youngest, Sergei, to clear out the way for the crucially important getaway vehicle. At the same time, the other clone was going to ooze through the door and hopefully disable the alarms before opening them. Erik and Cody would handle the explosives. Dustin, Erik, Cody and I would be the one grabbing all the money. Dimitri was the getaway driver. I explained what I was and they were pretty excited. Cody and Dustin suited up and the brothers thought it was cool. "When do we get one!?" Sergei asked. I thought about it. "If we make it out alive, I'll give you one- if I like you. I actually know some Fire and Metal spells, so I can allow Erik and Sergei to use magic provide I drain their Qi to do it." The two high fived. Dimitri was pissed. "How come they get magic and I don't!?" I shrugged and said "Get me some spell books for Water magic and you'll have it." He was fuming as he got behind the wheel of the truck.
