Sweet Gods above this mission was proving to be a real headache. If the fact that there were still thieves running around wasn't enough, now the Phantom had a hostage of his own and was planning on blowing up and stealing the entire academy. Even better was the fact that Tobias was more than ready to use his bedazzled butter knife on the caged thief, and that they only had ten minutes to think of a plan. 

At least their red-headed leader hadn't lost her enthusiasm yet. 

[i]"So, how are we going to save Angel?"[/i]

Aria shook her head, wringing her scarf in thought. "He's coming here, isn't he? Any way we could ambush him or..." She let out a sigh, knowing that it wouldn't work especially since he already knew that they were in the theater. She was rather sure that the other guilders would be quickly starting to head over now they knew that the Phantom was going to arrive, but would extra backup really help in this situation?

[i]"Ten minutes,"[/i] Lucien helpfully reminded, and Aria just gave a frustrated huff in response. 

"Anyone come up with any plans that don't include stabbing Jay here?" she eyed Tobias in warning before looking to the others. "Marcus? Dylan? Xan? [i]Simon[/i]?"

[i]“You tell him Supersis! We’ve got one of your henchmen here right now, and we’re not afraid to stick one of these fireworks up his butthole and light it!”[/i]

Mattis paused. Did the girl just threaten to- He shook his head, slightly disturbed and rather glad that none of his siblings would think of saying such a thing. Still, he was rather glad that Fabian had motioned to the white-haired man and not the girl; he disliked the idea of having to knock out a child. They were still busy discussing Phantom's latest announcement which gave him the chance to dart closer unseen to the group.

He was close enough to see the vines that the kid was trussed up in and tutted quietly. He crouched close to the wall, waiting for the man to turn his back. Luckily he looked rather weak and would probably go down with a strong enough hit, after which he would free the boy to help deal with the other two before reconvening with Phantom in the theater. 

The man finally turned to speak to one of the females and Mattis shot forward, aiming a hard jab at the pressure point on his neck. Hopefully his calculations would be right and he would be able to bring the guy down with one hit and free Fabian quickly to distract the other two so he had time to break their line of sight on him, or there would be quite a bit of trouble.
