Remi shrugged. "Well, I suppose that is an option." He put his gun away and watched as a stream of bullets cut into the water. "They really are terrible shots, are they not?" He looked at the others, a perplexed half-smile on his face. "I mean, we ran right past them, did they even hit any of us?"
"They may have not hit you but they damn well hit me", said a man who emerged from the water in sopping wet Buddhist clothing. "Greetings, I am Xhan Shi, the former Yellow Emperor. Do you mind giving this simple monk a hand into your vessel?" Xhan gestured towards the lifeboat.
"Ha, good to see you alive friend!" Edward extended his hand and pulled Xhan Shi aboard, "tell me, were you killed or only injured? My guess is that this lot were all crazy cultists, half of them had probably even seen a gun before this, it's amazing they were able to fire at us at all. I suppose that's why they were using machine guns, less need for accuracy that way."
"Ah, I was killed twice. You wouldn't believe how awful it is to be eternally old, and with backpain". Xhan removed the bullets from his chest and legs before sitting down. "These cultists could prove to be a nuisance, I don't suppose you have any plans of beridding them, do you?"
"A good many of them will die in the fire, I suspect the police will be able to handle the rest that try to escape in the remaining boats. I plan to remove the one who is sending them, my best lead at the moment is to go to the Watcher Headquarters in London and ask them what they know." Edward frowned as they pulled in closer to the dock, there already appeared to be quite a lot of movement up there already.
"Joy, now it looks like there's been trouble on the mainland too, maybe the strike on the boat was just one of many?"
"Joy, now it looks like there's been trouble on the mainland too, maybe the strike on the boat was just one of many?"
"Then we shall have to fight our way out" said Xhan. He could tell the other immortals were surprised by his apparent lack of any weapons, As he hadn't revealed that he had both a Chinese sabre and a dadao hidden on his person. "Although I would prefer it if we stayed away from violence."
"The fight shouldn't last long till the police show up then it's just a matter of avoiding arrest." putting his hands over his eyes to get a better look at the docks "Well that is a lot of people."
"Indeed..." Edward focused on the docks as the boat drew closer and saw some sort of battle was taking place, a group of the armed cultists were in a firefight with police in riot gear and thankfully losing quite badly. "Looks like they left a small force on the docks to machine gun anyone was trying to get back to the docks, looks like the police spotted them first." Edward knew they couldn't show up in front of the police with swords and guns or they'd be detained just as fast.
"Conceal your weapons, we'll have enough trouble not getting arrested once we reach the shore."
"Conceal your weapons, we'll have enough trouble not getting arrested once we reach the shore."
When Remi saw the scene unfolding on the docks, he couldn't help but smile a little. Serves them right, the crazy idiots. As he looked on, he leaned back and asked a question that had been firmly lodged in his mind for some time. "Just who are these people, anyway?"
"I don't believe there will be a problem. After all, being a former emperor has it's .....advantages", as he produced a Chinese passport with a royal insignia. "This will grant me diplomatic immunity for any situation, and if you become my "envoys" you will be given it as well, and thus will not be charged".
"Either way even if we don't get arrested getting seen by those nut jobs who torched the ship could lead to some complications." Bogs says while he hides his sword in the hidden pocket of his jacket.
"That won't be a problem,' Edward pointed as the drew up closer to the docks, the last few cultists were trying to escape, some police pursued them while others stayed behind to hail the approaching speedboat. Recognising Edward from the news coverage about the floating museum, a police officer greeted him.
"That you Edward? Your ship is lit up like a Christmas tree out there, we would have sent out a patrol the moment we heard gunfire but this whole damn city is going to hell at the moment." Edward looked back at the others, so this was widespread strike on London.
"Let me guess officer, crazies with guns and axes decapitating everything that moves?" The officer looked surprised.
"Yes, attacks all over the city, how did you know?"
"The exact thing just happened on my boat, with added pyrotechnics as you can see," Edward climbed out of the boat onto the docks, "this lot are survivors, very important survivors if you know what I mean, we don't really want to be detained in the middle of all this eh?" Edward gestured for the others to climb up onto the docks as well.

"Oi Sergant, This have anything to do with the bomb threat today?" He said as he flasdhed the cop his badge
After Remi hopped out of the boat and onto the dock, he nodded to the officer while uttering a quiet "Bonjour." He looked around briefly as he extended a hand toward those still on the boat, not really paying attention. So now these people are all over the city. It just gets better and better, doesn't it?
