-Shortly before the scheduled descent-
Smirking a bit, Vlad nodded to his comrades, about 6 of them.  He gets up first, along with the weasel, a leopard, a gecko, polar bear, a human female and human male, making their way to the front of the plane.  Their being no one in the stewardess's space, they slip in, pulling from underneath a small panel in the overhead a black bag.  Unzipping it, he smirks a bit.  "That's the beauty of plastic.  It goes through metal detectors without a hitch."  He slips out a small lead box, removing the top revealing several magazines.  At the bottom of the bag, rested several Glock 17s.  He hands one to each of those around him, and keeping a Glock 21 for himself.  He hands out several 9mm magazines to everyone as they silently load their weapons.  He pulls out the remaining 45mm magazines, and loads his own weapon.  All at once they stuff the remaining mags in their pockets, leaving the bag empty. ÂÂÂ
"Ready?", he asks.
They all nodded.
"Good.  Remember, no one dies, unless they give us trouble that may put the plan in jeopardy.  Go."
They all hide their weapons, some heading upstairs, a few staying down here, while he and the weasel, head to the cockpit. ÂÂÂ
Arriving, Vlad cracks open the door and nods to his comrade.  They enter quietly, locking the door.  Creeping up behind the engineer, the weasel quickly knocks him out with anestetic, then making his way behind the co-pilot. ÂÂÂ
"Hey Wayne,", began the captain, a suave lion.  When their was no reply, he turns around to stare down the barrel of Vlad gun.  He immediatly goes speechless. ÂÂÂ
"Welcome to Stalingrad Air comrade.", began Vlad with a smirk.  The co-pilot whips around only to see the inside of the weasel, Nikolos's gun as well.
"We've had a change of plans comrade...I will give you the new flight plan shortly.  All you have to do is keep us in the air, and you won't die."
