*The group had been skulking behind a corner, eyes trained on another pair of gangsters down the hallway. The staircase had lead straight down, ending in a poorly-lit cellar - the cold cut stone clearly forming a makeshift prison. Cells made from hardwood walls and metal bars lay before them, a narrow hallway for the guards to patrol I the middle. An argument had broken out between one of the gangsters and a prisoner, Nobuyasu recognising the voice and nodding in relief. He turned to the doctor, shaking his head and pointing to the gangsters.*

*Aize took a peek and then looked back at the samurai, he then gestured for them to stay put as he walked around the corner saying.*
"I shall go deal with this dont attack them unless im injured or the prisoner is gonna die alright?"
*He had already started walking up to the thugs not waiting for the samurais responses, it seems aize considers them to be incompetent too incompetent to make a strategy with. Aize wasnt exactly being sneaky or overly loud as he walked towards them, but it doesnt seem to matter to aize since his goal was to restrain them so they wouldnt be killed.*

*Terrel would give a small shrug as Aize walked on ahead in the room to where the thugs were, instead merely staying where he was as he held his crossbow readily in one hand.*"Suit yourself."*He says, keeping his gaze on the other thugs. It seemed like Aize was going to try to take them on peacefully despite the goal in mind, though as long as the thugs weren't making trouble for him, it didn't matter much.*

"Suit yourself, indeed..."
*Nobuyasu would hum, his lips tightening at the brazenness of the man he hired. His eyes darted towards one of the corners, thinking he may have seen some movement, but there was nothing. Through a narrowed gaze, he watched Aize, Hanai readying herself to get involved if this situation turned sour.*
Chelsea
"Wh- Who the hell are you!? How'd you get past the front door?"
*One of the gangsters snapped as they noticed him, the second one giving whoever was in the cell a hearty kick - the sound of a woman grunting in pain following.*
Donna
"My name is stephen aize and i shall give you a 3 choices right now, one you may surrender now and you will not be harmed, two i will restrain you and keep you alive if you choose to fight me, or three the rather large group behind me will come in and kill you if you keep fighting."
*Aize then spoke quietly to the thugs so the samurai and terrel behind him wouldnt hear*
"Your friends upstairs have escaped i patched up their wounds, so if you would surrender that would be for the best for everyone."
Guillermina
*Terrel took his attention off of Aize for the moment, finding himself more focused on the sound of someone getting knocked about in the cell. Seemed like the longer they take, the worst it might get for whoever it was in the cell, but Terrel simply waited it out while Aize tried to talk to the thugs. Whether or not it was actually the Captain in there who's suffering they were drawing out, he'll leave that on Aize or perhaps simply speed up the process if it was taking too long.*

"What- We ain't listenin' to you for a damn second, get him!"
*The first gangster roared, the pair rushing at Aize, falchion's brandished. The woman in the cell coughed a few times, cursing in Oriental and muttering to herself. Another set of footsteps approached from behind Aize, Hanai crouching low at the sound.*
"There's another set, coming from behind. It's one of the mages from before!"
*She called to Aize, pointing to the barely visible outline rushing behind him.*
Donna
*Aize held open his arms and he rushed the thugs that came towards him holding the swords, and then he gave them both a hug to restrain them just completely ignoring the swords. Aize tried to restrain them and he then spoke*
"So be it then i guess we are going with option 2, i hope you dont push it to option 3 since i do not wish to see anyone die again on this day"
Guillermina
*Terrel turned his gaze in the direction that Hanai was pointing in, the faintest outline catching his eye. His finger ran itself along the crossbow, temptingly as he held it up and fire off a bolt towards the outline's lower torso. Aize may have wanted them to go peacefully, though Terrel wasn't planning on letting this draw out much longer.*

*The outline would flinch as the bolt continued to fly, clutching their side as a trickle of blood left them. They may have sustained a wound, but they did not slow, jumping upon Aize - her cloaking spell dissipating as she raised her blade.*
Donna
*Aize held the two thugs close and just let the woman hopping onto his back attack him without effort against it. Aize seemed like he was just a bit annoyed that they were throwing their lives away over nothing, but aize was just gonna try to save them still even if they wouldn't tryto save themselves.*
"Please dont struggle and just let me restrain you, if you do manage to escape i cant guarantee your safety, and you on my back please refrain from stabbing me"
*Aize was just giving her a reccomendation before she was just shot or stabbed by terrel, or one of the samurai*
Guillermina
*Well can't say he didn't try. Terrel lowered his crossbow, moving across the room at a steady pace as he fastened his crossbow back to his left side. His right hand gripped the hilt of the sword, drawing it out of its sheathe while he moved towards the group. His hand flashing a stark red coloring as he neared them, raising his sword to the woman leaping upon Aize. However, instead of going to stab her, he allowed his hand to turn the sword slightly as he would bring it down to hit her with the hilt of it.*

*The pair of gangsters would continue to struggle, but Aize was far stronger than either of them. The woman attempted a few slices at the back of his neck with her wakizashi - tutting loudly as the blade barely cut through. She leaped off of him, flying towards Terrel and attempting to tackle him - sustaining a cut across her shoulder as she drew close.*
Freddie
"Follow them. Hanai, check the cell. Kiyo, Toki, help Terrel."
*Nobuyasu barked his orders, his samurai nodding and moving swiftly. Hanai dodged past Aize, asking if he needed any help as she slowed by the cell entrance. The pair of samurai drew their katanas and readied to fight the cloaker woman. Nobuyasu strolled around all this, watching for anyone descending the staircase.*
Donna
*Aize restrained the men with a hug, he didnt try to harm them besides this though. And as hanai asked him if he needed her help he shook his head and said.*
"Please go assist your friend i will stay here and keep thse two held down, if she needs any medical assistance let me know and ill come help though."
Guillermina
*Terrel took a step back, readjusting his hold on the sword as the women would suddenly leap off of Aize towards him. His body glowed a light blue shading as he would attempt step to the side out of the way of the woman's sudden lunge towards him.*
