Valentus' mind flooded with thoughts on how he could defeat two samurai at once - even though he was forced to the defense, he was not completely helpless. The clash of blades, Valentus craftfully weaving from one criminal to another and holding back them both without a scratch revealed to all three that he could easily take on a single samurai, and it was their numbers that made up for the edge. Perhaps he can call Paizu's aid again, use her light as a distraction, or maybe a blinding flash of light to stagger both samurai.
They were too coordinated to be easily fooled and played off one another - say, by pushing Tic and Tac into one another - but giving that a go certainly could not hurt.
-well it could hurt. It could hurt if he utterly fails and thus gets stabbed. Or something.
Thankfully, Raven intervened to put an end to Valentus' internal indecision - after slamming down his first opponent, he lunged at his second one, Tic, suddenly pulling the unsuspecting samurai into the ground and punching him down.
"Tic! Hold on, I'll-ah!" Tac yelled out, ready to slash the demonic prince from behind, only to suddenly stop and grunt after a powerful elbow strike hit him straight in the chest. It forced the wind out of his lungs and got him ventilating, clutching onto the spot of impact - and as now he stood against Valentus all alone, he stood little chance. One blow in the chest and a pommel strike against the back of the head, and the former samurai got knocked out.
"Yippee!" Paizu yelled out - with no more threats in sight, they were victorious! Valentus sighed in relief and sheathed his sword, then turned his eyes to Raven.
"Yeah... I'll get to it," he called out in response and pulled out a Capsule provided to him by the Oolong City Police Department. With the press of a button and a drop to the ground, it poofed into a small briefcase filled with handcuffs. While Raven was carrying the meat inside of the truck back into the shop, Valentus cuffed the knocked out criminals and loaded them into the same truck. They'll be able to drive it back to the department and bring the entire criminal ring to the correct authorities.
Right as Valentus loaded the last of the former samurai, Raven returned from the shop, carrying some of the meat back - apparently, the shop chose to give them something for their kindness. The Tuffle glanced to the demon prince, then down to the meat box in his hands.
It was Paizu who suddenly broke the silence. "BARBECUE!"
