"...Who are you talking to? Let's go already!" The stranger promptly grabbed the soldier's' arm and started tugging him toward the exit. "Once you're out, stay out, alright?"

"But I never got to thank them for their hospitality!" Oddly enough, it sounded sincere. "And just who the heck are you anyway? You're hurting my fragile little arm. Aren't you supposed to treat hostages delicately?"

"None of that is important right now. Now just come on. I'm trying to save you and you've no business here." The stranger here seemed rather simple-minded. He tossed Ryo on a rolling cart and kicked it down the hallway. Ryo didn't go with it however, and fell flat on his face.

After dusting himself off and walking back over, he got right up in the man's face. "I've more than enough reason to be here. Your assistance is appreciated, but I won't be ordered around by you. Got that?"
My, you sound serious.
"Quit sassing me! I'm not going to fail them again... Oh right. Mr. Armor, I'm just arguing with myself. Pay it no mind."

"Rrriight. Anyway, what business would that be? I doubt it's worth risking your life over." The armored man began to walk down the hallway. "Well, I suppose you're on your own then. I need to find out where the leader ran off too." One bandit then tried a sneak attack. For their trouble, they were backhanded and knocked out.

"Hold on. You would leave an unarmed man alone in a bandit's secret clubhouse? That's just mean."

"...Aww." Well, not much he could do about it. He just walked back the way they came. One of the crooks had to know something about the bracelet.
Quit your moaning. You never used that sword anyway.
"Yes I did! I threw it all the time!"
Because you couldn't possibly achieve the same result with anything else.
"I know!"
...You can fire off energy blasts the size of small cars.
"That might kill them."
And throwing a bladed metal object wouldn't?
"I'm not exactly great when it comes to magic, you know."
Then just grab one of their swords! It doesn't matter!
"Swords they've used to rob or kill people. I'd sooner die than use one of theirs."
You might.
"Then I guess you'll be joining me. You know, until one of them just chops off my arm and takes you." Bicker, bicker, bicker.

And so the two had gone their separate ways. In the heart of the complex was the leader. "Ah, just the man I was looking for."
"Who the hell're you?!" the leader demanded of the armored man.
"You might have some information I want, and if I don't get it..." The giant slowly drew a rapier from behind their back, holding it in place infront of them.
From outside, a struggle could be heard had anyone bothered to listen, but Ryo would soon be busy with a struggle of his own.

Sad but true. Ryo was already being accosted by another group of bandits. It wasn't going as well as the last batch. Wait! He had an idea! He raised his arm into the air and... Nothing. "Come on! Do whatever you did when I was tied to the chair!"
You can't do it yourself?
"It's not like you explained how!"
Don't tell me I'm going to have to explain everything to you.
"Just do it! Dying doesn't seem like fun!" And on cue, the flash went off. He then proceeded to pummel the bandits before their eyes could refocus. "Jeeze... These guys are crazy. It even sounds like they're fighting amongst eachother."

"Look! That's all I know! Please, stop!" The bandit leader was a bruised and on the ground by now, having never actually been cut by the sword of the armored man.
"Gah. Your info barely helps me at all." Full of disappointment, he went to leave. A new goal was in sight. And yet, something in his conscience just couldn't leave that hostage from earlier behind, even if it seemed he would be fine on his own, were that flash bang from earlier any indication.

Down went the second group he had come across. "This isn't getting any easier... I miss my sword."
Again with the sword! Let it go!
"No! What good is a soldier without a weapon?"
You're a soldier of the lowest rank. I doubt you've seen any real combat outside of fleeing the mine. Just focus on staying alive.
"...That would be easier with a weapon." Then came the sound of footsteps. A lot of footsteps. The bickering ceased and he took off running. Not like the grunts were going to know anything.

As Ryo ran, an arm suddenly reached out and snatched him behind a wall lined with crates. "Keep quiet!" the whispering voice belonged to the armored man from earlier. And sure enough, a small group of gangster went running right passed them. "Why are you still here anyway? Anyone with common sense would've escaped by now!"

"My sense is far from common!"
...Feel like rewording that?
An awkward silence then followed before he proudly told his bracelet "no." His attention was quick to drift back to the walking suit of armor. "What do you care anyway? You abandoned me."

"I figured you'd get the hell out!"
The two continued to bicker, it was no surprise that their location was soon found. What bandits were left gathered into the large room, with their leader, now healed, in this as well. "Good thing money ain't the only thing we smuggle. Alright you two, out!"
"You stay down." the warrior whispered, then rising and walking forward a bit. "You all had best back down now, before I get serious."
"Just who do you think you are hotshot?"
The man drew his blade, and readied it. "I'm the Black Knight, Regul. And if you don't step down, I'll take you all out myself."
Many of the gangsters had a good laugh at this. "Get 'em!" And as quick as that, the crowd went into a full on charge, Regul rushing forward to defeat them, and protect the hostage that he had no business with."
