The moon was fully hanging over the sky at this point, and Joshua was staring at the hallwway that the thief went down, this time around he was fully flanked by the majority of the Masks. This was it: the big bust was happening right now, and this could either make or break Joshua's rise to the top. "Everything is ready. Joshua? You made the find, so you're on point in this raid." The captain said to him, and he merely nodded before leading his group to where the hideout was. Through the different buildings and alleys he went, gliding past the corners and random bits of junk that was there. Eventually he spotted the door and stopped short. After everyone was there he took a look at the door from afar, seeing the reinforcement to the hinges, so he decided that the door couldn't be simply kicked down, so two Masks with axes came up to the door and began to chop into it, reducing the door to pieces in less than a minute. The captain and the rest of the Masks rushed in, with the cap saying "Everyone in this building is under arrest for colluding with the Guild! Stand down and surrender your weapons now!!" Joshua was already past the captain, ready to take down whoever was there.

Joshua moved through the absolute chaos of the moment, trying to get deeper into the hideout to try to catch anyone who's trying to reach a back exit and get out that way. He had to dodge some daggers and swords, but he was determined on reaching the back and keeping anyone from getting away. He reached a door and it was being held shut by a few of the youngest members of the guild... apparently it wasn't much of a worry for Joshua as he pushed past any resistance and rounded up the kids and left them in the care of the other Masks. This is great! I can't believe I lucked my way into a shutdown as big as this! The pride was rushing into his head, but it would be truly exquisite if he was able to catch the girl that slipped away that one time... then it would be perfect.

Joshua couldn't help but feel disappointed when he wasn't able to find the girl that slipped away from him earlier, but now his mind shifted to arresting everyone that he saw in the building, and now his eyes were on Ryan. He was proving to be quite a difficult fellow to keep down, even with several Masks trying to take him down at once. Joshua snuck up behind him and tried to wrestle him down from behind, his training with the Masks coming into serious play here, but even with that, he could immediately tell that it wasn't going to be an easy fight.

(Sorry it's shorter than the rest but I wanted to get some action between Ryan and Joshua before he gets hauled off...)

As Joshua tries to take down Ryan, a familiar voice calls out from amidst the chaos. "Get off of him." Emelote's voice rang, causing the other Masks to let go, including Joshua, although he did it more out of free will since his priorities shifted the second she revealed herself. "You." Joshua said through gritted teeth, tossing aside another member of the Guild that tried to play interference and rushed after her, hellbent on not letting her get away this time around. "You aren't getting away this time girl!" He shouted as he closed the distance, wanting to get a hand on her in case she tried another one of those disappearing tricks again. "And I'm not going to let you slip into the shadows!" With one last step he left his feet voluntarily to lunge after Em, knowing that every moment in this instance counted.

Joshua crashed into the wall, hands grasping nothing but air as Emelote disappeared, a smirk on her face as she disappeared. "Dammit! Quit hiding from us!" He shouted at the air, knowing that she couldn't have left the room but he couldn't see her at all. As the time passed more members of the Guild were being carted away, and it even was beginning to draw a crowd from anyone that was still awake at the time, although it wasn't nearly as big as a crowd that would show up to watch during the daytime. "Cover all of the exits! Make sure no one gets away!" The captain ordered, and Joshua was already on it, looking diligently around for a back exit before standing in front of it, ready to play interference and take down anyone and everyone who tried to get out that way.
