The leader of the knights appeared mildly surprised, but was rather calm. A cooler headed knight than Victus was by far. He addressed Zac with a tone that was emotionally detached. Like one had tried to train him to be sociable. "Ah, the Zuanite Weapon. ZAC. You and Victus are under arrest until fault can be officially determined for the destruct-"
Victus had just now looked up and recognized the face of the man speaking.
"IRONWILL!!" He howled accusingly as he leapt to his feet and rushed the man. Four knights sprang to action and tried to hold Victus back, and were able to slow him down considerably.
"I SWORE AN OATH, IRONWILL!! YOUR HEAD IS MINE! YOU AND YOUR FATHER'S AND ALL THOSE WHOSE HANDS ARE CAKED WITH MY KIN'S BLOOD! I WILL END YOU ALL! GRIMCLEAVER WILL HAVE VENGEANCE, YOU SONS OF-" A knight got around with a club and hit Victus's head hard enough he passed out.
The lead knight appeared a bit nervous for a moment but a few seconds after Victus's fit, he resumed in his normal tone.
"-under arrest until fault can be determined. Then you will pay for said damages if proven guilty. Men escort the beast and the drunk to the jails cells."
Then he turned to the other two men.
"Pathfinder Brightshield, I am Sir Gregor Ironwill of the North Watch. We moved in to aid in policing the city. I will want a full report of the incident. Can you deal with witness reports? You have a better rapport with... these kind of people than myself, being lesser born. You can have the report on my desk by the end of the week, I am sure. I will be escorting these two to the western dungeons. I will be there until this mess is cleaned up. Good day."
Sir Gregor then turned, pointedly ignoring the cyborg, and walked west with three knights dragging Victus behind him. His other five knights gave each other odd looks as they silently began to try to figure out how to push Zac into obeying them. They were not having much success.

Zac had yawned and sighed while the guard had gone about something about being arrested and fines while they knocked out Victus and he thought to himself "Why didn't I just do that in the first place, i goof around too much for my own good. Now I've got the poor guy in trouble. Oh man, my first day in the city and I've already put an innocent man in jail, and i was gonna help these guys out with rebuilding their city. Oh well, maybe once i get things cleared up they'll let me go and i can work on that... who knows, maybe if i do a good enough job i'll get to formally meet some of the champions from this city. I wonder what they'll think..."
Zac continued on with his train of thought unaware of anything the lead knight had said until he felt some of the soldiers attempting to move him and he snapped back to reality, shaking quickly and accidentally sending one of the soldiers attempting to move him back with his reaction.
"Oops, my bad. Although i zoned out a bit, would you mind repeating that?" he asked lead knight casually.

One of the knights just stared with wide eyes, another quietly pissed himself, the third stuttered, "It...it....it talks?" The fourth was still gathering himself after being knocked over.
The fifth proved a bit more wise in these things, having served as an bodyguard to a summoner before and observed many matches. He had also noted what happened to those who irritated champions from Zaun.
"It talks. Zac, you are under arrest pending investigation into this incident. Would you kindly submit and be escorted to a cell? I am certain this issue will be resolved shortly if you are not at fault." He said professionally and with some respect in his tone.
He approached Zac cautiously and whispered, "I imagine he struck first. That knight wears the armor of a recently extinct house, and must be going through a rough patch. We all are. Also, you are not the most ....friendly appearing creature."

Andrei had been walking the streets of Demacia when he noticed a few guards going the direction he had come from. His curiosity got the better of him and he followed them a few feet behind. Eventually the guards arrived at the Bar or rather outside the bar. Andrei stood a few feet behind the group until he saw Zac and his brother. He walked up to them and when he was closing in, the man who had smacked his head against the counter was knocked out.
"Looks like someone had enough of him." he said as he approached his brother.

What about me screams "lesser born" so much? Lucas was not particularly happy about the knight's excuse for ordering him to go and collect witness reports, but he still saluted and said: "Yes, sir." A really attentive listener might have noticed a sarcastic undertone surrounding the word 'sir'. Not quite knowing where to start, Lucas went to look for the bartender, to inquire about the regulars of the establishment

As soon as Alex heard his brother's voice, he slammed his human hand at his chest. "Are you retarded?" he whispered to his brother "This is not Zaun. People aren't too open about murder here." He turned to him fully and continued. "I'm going to trail that Victus person he just knocked out. You're free to tag along." Alex said, already dodging into a nearby alley and starting to follow the lead knight, "gregor" while being out of sight.

Zac listened to the fifth member talk and explain the situation before calmly agreeing.
"That's fair enough i guess, although this does cut into my time to try and help you guys with rebuilding your city and all that. But i'll play by the rules, lead on."

The Bar
The barkeep was examining the damage with a shocked and anxious face.
"What can I do!?! My tavern!!!....I just bought it!...By all the justice in this world!" He mumbled with an unsteady voice. Noting Lucas he went towards him.
"Sir, please! Is there anything you can do? Can the State aid me? I don't have the gold to repair this! Please, you must help me!"
The Detainees
The knight nodded thankfully and the group politely escorted Zac westward toward the prison complex. This was a smaller prison and had fewer guards on hand compared to other states, but when Death was a common penalty for illegal actions and cases being settled swiftly and coldly, there is little need for anything larger.
Zac had gather a bit of attention and some of the more avid fans of the Institute of War and Zac's exploits cheered as they saw him, not realizing he was in trouble with their law.
Victus however only received hastily averted glances. Such is the fate of a knight who is dragged towards a prison. When Victus came to, he was at the main gate and saw the doors begin to open. He snarled angrily and began to try to fight his captors when a dagger was placed on his throat. Victus's eyes followed the arm to Gregor.
"You are a dead man, Gregor. It would be wise for you to kill me now, but you don't have the balls to fight me honorably. Hide behind your laws. You have been warned to never seek me out. I hereby resume my bloodfued. Let your father know. Let him quiver in fear. A pox to whatever children you have. Tell your women to prepare their children for the bloodshed to come." Victus whispered harshly, but he ceased to resist.
"Ah, but Victus, I am almost certain you will be far too busy serving your sentence to harm my kin. Either years in a prison or eternity in hell. Call upon your petty bloodfued and the memory of a dead people not worth a drop of my piss. You are but one man, and I am the son of a House of many. You learned your trade from US. It seems you did not learn enough!" Gregor replied and he turned to his soldiers, also noting Zac had caught up.
"Take him to the dark cells. None are to be admitted save to feed him and he is to be chained with three balls of iron. No chances with this one." he ordered the three who had carried Victus. The knights nodded and escorted Victus into the basement cell block.
Gregor turned to the other five knights.
"And you all are so late because?" He asked with a twinge of anger in his voice.
"Sir Gregor Ironwill sir, we ...were being civil. He-" The fifth knight said in a subservient tone as he stared at his feet.
"I don't care about being civil to it. Take it to the box. I don't want it slipping through the bars. And next time you are escorting a prisoner, you are to be swift about it. You are not tour guides and this beast is not our ally. It is a creation of the foul minded Zaunites. It has no goodwill for us." Gregor coldly directed as he sheathed his dagger.
Alex would be watching from a building top near the prison complex as the knights group got into it. His augmented eye letting him view up to there, looking at the number of guards it was clear that the prison isn't as large as others. Death sentence must be common here. Its time for some surveillance. "I could have killed him right now if I wanted... What a scum of a person. Too bad there isn't a real reason to kill him." He said to himself, looking at Gregor. When the guards led Victus into a block he enhanced his vision, scouting for outward guards and memorizing the whole complex.

Lucas tried to consolidate the bartender. "Sir, calm down. I'll see what I can do. I'm sure part of the fine will go to you for repairs, And I'll help repair your tavern, it's the least I can do. Now, I'm sure you can help me help you. Did you recognise any customers today, I'm supposed to gather witness reports for that knight person. And the sooner I get that over with, the sooner I have time to repair the tavern. Also, I want your account on the situation too. Specifically, what happened before I came in?"

Andrei didn't reply when his brother had talked to him when he had returned to the bar. Always the perfectionist he thought. Why be so quiet about it. When the group of soldiers left he saw his brother follow behind them, he waited a bit longer before walking of in the same direction.
"And yet you didn't." Andrei said as he caught up to his brother, looking in the direction guards had dragged Victus. He turned his head and looked at his brother, "Say, you want to talk to him. I make sure you get some time alone with fancy pants, meanwhile I'll drag the guards out of here." He then looked out over the area,marking some easy spots where he could hide if necessary.

The Prison Details
The Prison held around a hundred of Demacia's criminals or possible criminals, with 10 medium infantry visible through the windows. No wall was around the complex, but all the windows had bars built into the stonework and the ten guards stood and protected the exits visible.
The Bar
The bartender, calming immensely upon hearing he would get aid, pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote down several names, handing it to the Pathfinder.
"Seemed like normal, sir. I handed out the drinks and got paid, but a hooded man came in after the Knight in Black. He mentioned something to the Knight that made a the Knight attack the other, but the hooded man left. Then you and Zac walked in, and you know the rest." He said staring off over Lucas's shoulder trying to see the scene again to make sure he didn't forget anything important...oh...there were those.
"What am I to do with the blade and helm, sir? Are you needing them?"
Alex turned to Andrei before he went. "I think I have an idea." He said, pointing at Andrei's belt, where his pistol rested. "You can make a distraction by shooting the gun. Either the guards know what sound it is or they will get suspicious, some of them must leave their posts. Just shoot somewhere close to the sky or at a tree or a wall... Or kill someone. That will get their attention alright."
Alex sighed "I can take care of the rest of the guards if some will block my way. I'll try the easy way first but if they won't move, there is always the hard way." When Alex mentioned the 'Hard Way', he unsheathed one of his hidden blades, an arm long steel blade that was sharp enough to slice through bones with some effort.
"As much as I'd hate killing, if it cannot be avoided the moon will be painted red when the night comes. And who knows, I might just save a soul on the way."

Andrei smirked under his mask. "Hehe I thought that we always used the hard way." He noted the guards positions before getting of the building top.
Once on the ground he began walking towards the prison entrance, looking back at his brother before taking out his gun. He looked around him, there was almost no one on the streets, except for the guards at the entrance to the prison and in the windows. He raised his hand and fired two bullets into the air. He noted that he had four rounds left in his clip before walking to a different position and firing another two bullets. "Damn, I need to stop wasting my bullets at nothing." he removed the clip from his gun and inserted a new one. "I need to get a few more bullets after this." He thought as he stood there waiting for the guards.

"Thank you for your information, sir. Do you know the knight who intervened? About the man's items, I'll make sure they reach the knight together with the witness reports. " And a little bit less loud, he followed that up with: "Not like he needs it anyway." And went to pick up the items.
