The trampoline glyph transferred the momentum of Shani's kick and Uriel's shotgun blast with a loud *BANG*, sending the Blackbriar back to Remnant. Azulius had recovered and put himself in position so that his glaive-guisarme knocked Uriel back into the air with an earth-shaking uppercut. As he flew back up and back down, Azzie sprayed him with a lengthy burst from Roaring Moxie.

Uriel made a crater when he landed. He groaned as his entire body ached from the damage. He could feel he had some Aura left, but it was going to have to be a last-ditch assault, killing one of them, and running off to lick his wounds. But either way, he was going to need to grab Lupara, which had fallen a few feet out of reach.

"Nicely done, Azzie," he said sarcastically, rising to his feet and putting his hands behind his head. "You got me.  I surrender."

"No," the Cardamom replied, an edge of anger in his voice. "First, you almost kill my family's accountant.  Then, there's the list of jobs you pulled for the Blackbriars.  Let's not even mention the 'Gray Chamber' we found in the Four Sands Mirage." Uriel paled a little at this news. He figured out that the Harlequins had entered the vault, but they even found the Gray Chamber? "And now you take my teammate, who didn't even know about the business before you showed up, and cast her in a crappy remake of the Saw movies." Azzie loaded his weapon with a box of Fire rounds and aimed it squarely at his opponent's torso. When the magician spoke, his voice was ice cold.

"You.  Don't.  Get.  Surrender." He prepared to pull the trigger, but not before a massive shout split the night.

"AZULIUS!" Trigo shouted as he charged onto the scene with a speed that would have shamed Ruby Rose. With a spinning, flying jump kick, he disarmed his nephew, knocked him a few meters out of the way, and aimed one shotgun at him, and the other at Uriel.

"Uncle Trigo, I--" Azzie tried to explain before being cut off.

"Azulius," the drunken master began, trying to sound gentle in the circumstances. "Do you know the last time I killed a man out of anger?"

"..."

"Not since Rosa," Trigo said, his voice giving lots of weight to just three words. As if those words had some kind of magic, Azzie's whole demeanor changed. His shoulders slumped, he hung his head, and he fell to his knees, tears already beginning to flow. His uncle nodded, and turned both shotguns back at Uriel.

"And as for you, you miserable sack of Ursa excrement," his voice was back to that of 'cold professional', "You have been a threat to my family for far too long.  According to the laws which bind us both, I am well within my rights to kill you and leave the corpse for the police to find.  But I'd rather not waste good ammunition, so I am going to tell you what is going to happen." Uriel nodded, knowing that fighting The Tornado while clinging to life was suicide.

"Smart man.  You are going to take your weapon and get on the first airship back to Atlas.  You are going to tell your superiors that your sources were incorrect, and that Azulius Cardamom has nothing to do with the Harlequins, and thusly knows nothing about the Four Sands Mirage.  And if I ever hear you have moved against my family or its associates, including her," he gestured towards Shani,  "I will hunt you to the ends of Remant and kill you, if it means I have to burn Atlas to the ground."
