Boomerang headed off to the med-bay to get bandaged up when an idea struck him. After being diagnosed and treated by the med-droids for a hair-line fracture in his cheekbone, Digger decided that rest was something that could wait. Instead, he travelled to the airlock/docking bay where his 'Rang jet awaited.
"A portal just won't do for this one," he thought.
Climbing aboard and warming the engines during his ascent to the ocean's surface, Digger laid in his specific co-ordinates: Gateway City.
Napping on the way and leaving the flying to auto-pilot, Digger envisioned nothing but dollars in his head. A pre-set alarm awoke Digger during descent. Looking out the window, it was obvious that the National Guard was now "in charge" of Gateway City...and it was also obvious that the American military still did not have the capacity to scan beyond his ships cloaking.
"Lady luck smiles," he thought.
Digger appraised a layout of Gateway City. "Where is it...?" he thought. "Ah, thar' she blows!," he exclaimed "Gateway First National Bank!!!"
Digger landed on silent approach. "Dem lucky the guardsmen haven't sifted this far into the rubble yet," noticing how utterly and completely Zoom had destroyed the entire city. "An ENTIRE city!!!," he thought.
Digger went about his business upon landing. Landing amongst the still glowing fires of what was once Gateway City. First up was planting mine 'rangs about the perimeter, in case any of the guardsmen approached while he was working. Here and there, encountering wounded, which he aided in finding eternal peace. After establishing what he thought to be a "safe zone," he began digging through the rubble and loading satchels with money from the destroyed bank into the 'Rang jet. Smiling the whole time..."I kinda like Zoom's messes" he thought.
With his storage compartment nearly full, Digger went about loading one last satchel. Then he heard: "FREEZE!!" booming from a loudspeaker. Suddenly floodlights lit the whole area.
"Gawd demmit," he cursed, and hurriedly loaded his last satchel.
Then he heard it...an incoming mortar. "Aw no," he thought. BOOM!!!! A direct hit on his 'Rang jet and a huge explosion. As the flaming loot drifted to ground, Digger activated his portal back to IS hq. As he enterd the portal, Digger could hear hear shouting and soldiers approaching....and then exploding boomerang mines filled the air with booms, smoke, and screams of dying soldiers. "Serves the wankers right," he thought.
Arriving back at hq, he appraised the loot in his one satchel. "About $500,000...and thet damn jet cost me TWICE that.....^&$(&$^%!!!!!"
"Sometimes crime doesn't pay," he thought. Then he retired for a nap awaiting to see what plans were ahead for the IS.
OOC: Bwa-hahahahahahaha. That was fun. heh.
