Vancouver Invasion

A Story by Abishai100

A tale of skyscraper-drift and rogue-invasion involving conflict-zone capital estrangement, rogue guerrillas, and a hero-cop of note.

A nifty fanfiction of Die Hard (Bruce Willis). Enjoy,

The Vancouver House is an iconic British Columbian skyscraper where many wealthy residents live, and it's where the Japanese MicroCoal CEO Joe Takagi lives, using his clean-coal firm assets to invest in diamonds in North America but unaware some of his firm's assets have been tied to corrupted 'conflict-zone' gems yielding tied up bearer-bonds between Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) and New York, and a large chunk of these bonds will be kept in his vault-area of the House-skyscraper after a poignant press-release about 'mattress-securities' in diamonds-trade in modern times. It's estimated now that Takagi is keeping $100M worth of bearer-bonds in the House-skyscraper vault (computerized) from the investment portfolios of over 10 different companies, some certainly tied to blood-diamond assets!

Inside, a special art-studio has been commissioned to design the interior rooms, suites, and conference or dining rooms of the Vancouver House skyscraper. This is modernism at its best, and Takagi jokes to the press, "There's no diamond-in-the-rough without the magical interiors of modern amenity in British Columbia!"

At the corporate 'event' inside the House-skyscraper, wealthy investors and stake-holders greet/dine with Takagi and wonder if all this buzz surrounding MicroCoal, diamonds, and North American intercontinental capital investments will 'raise-the-bar' in cyber-fanzines conversations about inventive net-commerce.

TAKAGI: The clean-coal tech work of MicroCoal reflects our admiration of those lovely gems that relate to the mineral/care!

Well, it's of some concern that MicroCoal's investment in the diamond-trade has channeled into the storage of the $100M bearer-bonds in Takagi's vault-box of the House-skyscraper to some nasty rogues who're tied up in the piracy-gem complications of the global underground guerrilla-political resourcing groups and terrorists who have to 'adapt' to this new conflict-zone market. Some of these rogues, ex-members of the 'Foreign Irish Republican Army' (F-IRA), are orchestrating this elaborate 'invasion' of the Vancouver House skyscraper and seek something 'magical' from Takagi.

TAKAGI: We're hosting a special media-theater event at the House, and we anticipate some executives/wives from Hess!

The invasion-minded F-IRA terrorists show up in a stolen Hess truck and park it outside the House-skyscraper, and security and executives guests simply think it's part of the 'theatrical' aura of the Hess-involved company-party 'event' inside the Takagi-hosted skyscraper.

F-IRA: We've got the guns inside the truck; I'm driving; team-members show up as pedestrians in masks and procure guns.

It's the sad truth of the modern world that piracy-gem traffic has 'sullied' the work of the real Sinn Fein/UK advocates seeking to end the poverty/unemployment driven crime(s)/terror in sectarian 'troubled' Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) and find more and more 'rogues' who're simply seeking to exploit the new 'black-market' condition(s) to their advantage to make modern political-capital a thought of 'darker' piracy!

The leader of this Vancouver House skyscraper 'invasion' is Ang Satan, a rogue/ex-member of F-IRA who, alongside his defecting 'terrorists' in British Columbia, continue to harbor the belief that they're the 'true' faction of F-IRA and hope to use the $100M bearer-bonds heist from Takagi's vault to finance their exposition-highway into Belfast or London.

Ang drives the Hess truck to the skyscraper, while the other members show up as masked pedestrians simply seeking photos of the interior of the residential-themed House-skyscraper and procure the guns from the parked truck (hidden beneath the lower-trunk layer) and walk inside to connect with their 'fearless' leader (Ang Satan) who's already inside holding Takagi hostage!

Another member is a woman who shows up to the skyscraper masked (Coronavirus-mask!) as a jogger, and she walks in with her gun as well, claiming at first she's simply greeting a resident inside the building. She executes a female guardsman inside the House before announcing to the party 'event' guests this is a F-IRA raid in British Columbia.

Another member, female, shows up claiming she's a student from the University and grabs her Hess-gun and takes one of the executives alongside Takagi hostage as Ang Satan demands to know the computerized security area/lock for the vault with the $100M bearer-bonds so they may exit in expedition to continue their global 'vision' of 'cleansed' conflict-zone gem investment journalism!

Fortunately, one of the party 'event' attendees is able to use her mobile to reach a policeman (Jeff Lee) who dreams he's Bruce Lee himself and takes the call to try to save-the-day.

TAKAGI: You just want our bearer-bonds?

ANG: We're not pirates, Joe; we're 'advanced' guerrilla.

TAKAGI: You're merely thieves!
ANG: Perhaps, perhaps; but we need that lock-code for the bond-vault.

TAKAGI: I can't get that code; you'd have to triangulate three differing security texts.

ANG: Fortunately, we've brought a computer-geek in our team; so you need not worry.

TAKAGI: Why'd you then ask me for my knowledge of the codes?

ANG: I suppose we'd just want to see you smile.

TAKAGI: You're a madman.

ANG: Actually, Joe, I believe in 'faeries' (don't you?) and think I'm a faerie-humanoid on Earth!

TAKAGI: Why?
ANG: Well, I suppose a 'rogue' is a faerie-in-disguise, here in Vancouver to admire your bonds-drain.

After taking the $100M bearer-bonds, the F-IRA rogues blow up a portion of the evacuated skyscraper before hopping/squeezing into their Hess truck. They start to roll-away, but the hero-cop Jeff Lee ('Bruce Lee') shows up and has already taken-out one of the (female) rogues/terrorists and is now chasing the Hess truck Ang's driving!
