Despite having been seen by Yukimura, Hanzo knew could not yet leave the premises. He still had precious little time to find Hideyoshi and kill him before he could flee.

He wasted no time checking rooms and executing sentries. Finally, he came across a door at the top of the castle that looked very wide and very royal. He approached it cautiously. Silently, he split the doors apart and shut it behind him. In the blackness he heard someone speak.

"Who's there!"

Hanzo narrowed his eyes, letting his ears pinpoint the source.

"Who's there!" the voice squeaked again.

"Hideyoshi Toyotomi?" Hanzo thundered.

"Y-yes?"

"Perish."

Hanzo dove and sliced at the origin of the voice.

"Urrrk!" the figure gurgled before falling with a satisfying thump.

Hanzo, now focused on escape, was surprised to hear a loud clang, like the slamming of a portcullis very nearby...so nearby, it sounded like it came from behind the door to the very room he was in.

'Another decoy...???'

He rushed to the sound of the clang and felt for the sliding door. He opened it to reveal that he had indeed been trapped in the room.

"Seems you are still human afterall, Hanzo." said a figure who was approaching him.

Hanzo regarded him. "Hideyoshi Toyotomi."

Hideyoshi smiled wickedly. "Yukimura is as clever as he is powerful, wouldn't you say?"

Hanzo remained silent.

"Guards!" Hideyoshi called. Swarms of troops appeared, including Yukimura as well as a unit of riflemen who took their aim.

"Subdue this criminal and throw him in the basement."

A few troops went into an adjacent room and cranked the bars upward. Taking note of the riflemen, Hanzo dropped his weapon and made no effort to defend himself, but he was nonetheless struck in the abdomen with the blunt end of Yukimura's spear. He doubled over, and his ribs were met with the blunt force of Yukimura's foot. He fell to the ground where troops tied him and dragged him to the basement prison.
