Not possible, you say? You're probably right, but humor me.
Scenario: I make a rescue attempt with Lazarus (Di). My opponent blocks with a character that doesn't negate Lazarus' ability. I play Ambush the City. I start a new rescue attempt and win it, rescuing a soul. The previous battle, which was a rescue attempt and became a battle challenge when I played AtC, continues. I let Lazarus die. Can I start another battle? When Lazarus' ability activated, the battle was a rescue attempt, so I assume a "trigger" was set that gets activated when the rescue attempt fails and Lazarus dies.
Also, would it make a difference if Darius' Decree was active and I used its ability while AtC battle was going on and Lazarus was set aside? This would discard him, but he was not in battle - would his "trigger" still work?
Lazarus (Di)

Ambush the City (Ki)

Darius' Decree (TP)
