[If only I could grow more hands out of the walls.]
[Oh wait. I can.]
[Still carrying the C4 duffle bag and clearing out the other one (and also her other other one in her case) with shadow tendrils, it is time to start shoveling money into both duffle bags at the same time.]
[In the meanwhile, her hands are dumping her entire collection of gear aside the marbles. MORE ROOM!]
[Eldritch abomination thievery is the best thievery.]
Unfortunately the shadowy tendrils find it a bit difficult to actually hold onto the money, and they keep dropping the cash on the floor -- if not outright having the money slip through its grasp. It seems whoever placed this money here put some sort of charm on it...
You manage to put away 710,000 yen. The sirens are still getting louder and louder...
The tendrils can at least do that much, spreading the marbles all over the entrance way.
You now have 1,420,000 yen. You hear the screeching of tires outside, and can maybe even see some flash of red and blue lights bouncing along the walls now.
[Okay, I have two options here. Option one: get the hell out now and try to get away.]
[Option two: gather the rest of the funding while waiting for them to surround the area, then find a weakness in the enemy defenses and escape. This comes down to a secondary question: Do I think I can take a number of armed police officers waiting for me in close quarters...?]
[The tendrils sharpen. And Belt shovels more money.]
[The way of Amalthea is not one of half-assed escape before the mission is complete.]
You now have 2,310,000 yen. There's the sound of doors opening and closing, and feet organizing. You may be able to fit in two more chances at grabbing the money, but it'll be close.
...You now have 3,550,100 yen. The police seem rather startled by the appearance of eldritch forces using the safe's door and immediately open fire sending nasty, hard hairballs flying...towards the vault door. Most stick harmlessly to the vault door, but a few manage to hit the tendrils holding up the door and you may fill a sharp jolt of pain -- along with a gross shuddering unclean feeling in your arms.
You'd have to hurry towards that window, despite the strange pain (which you may or may not have felt before) as your tendrils fall in glorious battle.
[...oh crap that is completely not normal. OKAY JUST GOT TO BE CAREFUL WITH THESE TENDRILS apparently they're linked here. Legion, for what it is worth, is bitching up a storm.]
[Oh well, we can quiet down the loud whiny child later. FOR NOW she peeks out along the window's exit path using her mirror for any waiting officers. And as means of distraction, the remaining tendrils will be throwing the door out the front of the bank at the cops before beating as hasty a retreat as they can into nonexistence.]
You see no-one in the mirror, but you certainly hear a very loud crash, the shattering of glass, and the frightened yowls of police-cats who did not sign up for this! You'll have to get through the window quick though, because it won't be long before they try and investigate the source of this eldritch terror.
[Can we squish their eyes? It sounds funny when it is all like, 'squeeeelch!']
[We shall see.]
[AHEM SO SQUEEZING MY FAT ASS THROUGH THIS WINDOW and tossing myself the duffle bags of cash. And then we will darkness crawl our way back up to the roof and peek.]
[Numbers, positioning, what kind of security detail are we looking at here? Also lines of communication, radios, etc, whatever can be seen while discretely looking from a direction they're (hopefully) too distracted by GIANT FUCKING DOOR to notice]
...The narration would like to inform Legion that it has no eyes to squish, and if it did have eyes it would rather they not be squished.
You manage to squeeze yourself through the window again, despite the cake, and climb up the wall. If you're careful about being discrete, you can see six black cat cops in...a strangely militant uniform with ornate and elegant swirling designs, almost reminiscent of music notes. One has their leg caught under the vault door while two try to lift it. Two more of the black cats are cautiously stepping into the building, with large and seemingly unwieldy guns at the ready. The last is hanging back by the cars, calling over the radio.
[...Well. Backup has been called, that means we're looking at at a good number more than these.]
[But it is nightfall, and that means there are shadows everywhere.]
[And now that I can kind of see, that means I can actually fight.]
[But then... the C4 is worth a lot of yen. And the cash is already 3.5 million and change... and on top of that we've got the DVDs and...]
[Well. Maybe looting a couple officers would be okay. If either of the two cats entering are close to a shadowy wall, she's going to try stabbing them in the aforementioned eye with a sudden jut of shadowtendril. And heaven help if both of them are.]
They were cautiously stepping into the shadows and then well...curiosity killed both cats this time.
Though that definitely causes the cats outside to freak out juuuust a little, the fur of each and every one going up on end as they hiss at the shadows. Those able to back away do just that.
[Yes good the shadows will drag the dead bodies back to the window... (staying under the bodies if at all possible)]
[And Belt is going to rely on their waiting for backup to open a window for her to climb down, add their guns, valuables, and their wallets to her possessions, and then run like hell with her ill-gotten gains through the alleys.]
The dragging makes the police cats out front hiss even more but well...None of them are going inside now.
While it takes time for you to pack up and reinforcements arrive, most of them are too busy trying to process what the hell just happened in order to give chase to any robber and none of them are particular eager to go off into the shadowy alleys to find the robber now.

[Well since it's dark in here, just going to shovel in more money. TENDRILS OF DARKNESS, GO AHEAD AND SPREAD THE MARBLES AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE.]

Re: Round 3
You now have 3,550,000 yen. There's suddenly a loud, feline voice, amplified by a megaphone. "We know you're in there! Come out with your hands up!"
Re: Round 3
[In the meanwhile, Belt grabs her mirror and her knife and heads for the window.]
[If possible, along the way, she will grab exactly 100 more yen. Just in case.]

You successfully escape.
