After the final show in Moscow, as is usual for Pride, the semi-civilized afterparty gradually shifts into a massive sparkly clusterfuck (courtesy of Artolo) at a club on the ground floor. It lasts into the wee hours of 18th, and ends with an impromptu street show by some of the popular Pride performers; Terry Ward, and, later, Aramat Drawdes. There’s a hidden agenda to Music Wizards singing, of course; they’re making sure that those who aren’t fucking off don’t notice it too early, and possibly making obstacles for the security out of fans and guests.
As a mass of musicians, (lower-ranking) staff and fans gather to watch the spectacle, some of them slip away or excuse themselves to go “for a smoke” in a blind alley next to the club that’s commonly used for that, though isn’t directly visible from the show area aside from its entrance (but that’s fine, right? It’s a dead end, right?).
In the meantime, on a different street right behind the back alley, Rescuers have parked two vans and are advancing. Some of them had been contacted and filled in on the plan earlier (like, days/weeks earlier) and had tried to form a rescue team, however thanks to Blanche’s ritual it’s been more difficult than planned. There’s less of them than originally agreed, and some of them might not be in the best shape mentally.
The rescue team consists of Doc Brown, Ivan Karelin, Pao-Lin, Agent 3, Koushi Sugawara, Oscar, Mammon, Belphegor, Eiji Hino, Rarity and Yamamoto Takeshi.
Ivan, Pao-Lin, Oscar and Sugawara mingle into the crowd on the other side to direct the escapees, but Ivan and Pao-Lin ditch the plan and goes after Trucy in particular thanks to Virgo’s influence. Yamamoto helps make a hole in the wall separating the streets and anyone who’s been headed to the back alley can now trickle past the dead end and get into the vans. Mammon is further helping the effort by smuggling Xanxus and Squalo musicians through unnoticed. Rarity makes a grab for Pinkie and they attempt to go after Steven, however it fails and the ponies need fellow rescuers’ help to get back out, further thinning the number of rescuers in the field for the moment.
Unfortunately, there’s only so long Music Wizardry and illusions can cover people disappearing from the main event; security (accompanied by Eda) finally notice shit and give chase. A fight breaks out in the alley; Demyx, Agent 3, Squalo, Terry, Eiji, Rarity, Belphegor, Mai, Yamamoto and Xanxus fight back the guard allowing the rest to get in the vans.
Terry wants to go back for more musicians, so he's knocked out and tossed in the van while the escaping group continues to be pushed back. Sariel and Eiji get injured in the fight, most of the others will be roughed up. As it looks like they’re ready to flee, Squalo “deals” with Xanxus to prevent him from going after Carnies, and has Mammon and Belphegor secure him in one of the vans.
The group continues to fall back with the rescuer’s defences shielding them, managing to hold the guards back just enough to get in the vehicles. The pursuers break through and grab on the last fleeing musician, Demyx. There’s a momentary struggle as someone probably tries to pull him back in; Squalo sees it’ll give the rest of the security a chance to get in/on the van so he punts the poor kid the rest of the way out; it gives them a moment’s advantage and the car speeds off (while someone may, no doubt, be very unhappy with this direction of events.)
Aramat and Artolo stay behind. Artolo acts oblivious, implying that he was used against his will. Aramat may be confronted about her participation in the breakout.

[ He sighs and pours himself a glass, then refills hers (unless she's drinking out the bottle like a hobo, in which case keep doing that). ]
Sure you don't wanna come with us?
no subject
I'm sure. Someone has to look after Jecht.
[Also she's dammed anyway if she does or not.]
no subject
Thanks. For doing this.
no subject
[She leans in close to him if she allows. Kissing him one last time on the forehead. There's a hint of power in that kiss, something that covers him and protects him.
She failed him, but at least she can do this for him.]
no subject
[ He manages a crooked smirk. ]
I thought you said you're not my mother.
no subject
no subject
What did you do?
no subject
[And she just gave it to him with that forehead kiss.]
If you didn't want it, I'm sorry. But it's a gift.
[And in her mind it might as well be the last one.]
no subject
Accepted.
no subject
I'd wish you luck, but you don't need it.
no subject
[ He stares at her for a moment longer, downs his glass of vodka and pours a new one. He's feeling lost, and confused, and -- this is goodbye. For real. He's sure of it. Even if... even if they both live, they'll never be the same. He might not feel a thing about her next time he sees her, if his visions about his true self are any indication. ]
You will be brilliant.
no subject
She's not sure if she sees him again if she'll regard him as someone to trust.]
I'll try.
[And at that, she'll give him a hug anyway, if he pushes her away, fine. But she wants to say farewell to him while she still somewhat has affection.]
no subject
You will. I know.
[ He tenses, looking clearly uncomfortable, but doesn't push her away. He doesn't look at her, though. Everything's too... muddled, and he doesn't want to lash out. ]
[ He empties the bottle by filling both their glasses once more. ]
For the old times.
