Chapter 12 - Chapter 12:

Mike stumbles to the ground as he gets out on the other side while Pat and Alex stand there, looking down at him. "Gris?" Pat assumes, believing that she had something to do with it, until Mike replies with a smartass remark. "No, I just decided to trip myself." Pat, seemingly fine with that answer, looks back away from Mike, "Yeah, you do seem like the guy who would do that." Insulted, Mike was ready to berate Pat before he looked at what he was looking at.

In front of him, well, was a large building, likely housing a whole bunch of stuff beyond their wildest dreams. Whatever it was, they began walking past many others, before Mike decided to take initiative in asking for the person Gris mentioned to him. "Hey, got any idea where Sebastian is?" The other two had no idea whom he was speaking of, nor why he asked, and the same could be said about the one he asked.

"Sorry, I don't know where he is currently." "Ugh, thanks anyway." The person left before the other two could question what Mike was doing. Yet, they just sorta went along with it, kind of already assuming that Gris had to be of some reason, and after a few more people were asked, they were finally told the fact that he was down in the training room, likely practicing his usage of weapons. So, they were off... until they realized that they had absolutely no idea where that was.

They tried looking for the layout of where they were, and while they did find it, what they were unable to do is figure out what floor it was on. While Pat is staying calm and looking around, and Alex is getting a bit impatient but keeps himself together, unlike Mike who was pacing around back and forth for he was not nearly as patient as the other two were, and he likely wasn't ever going to be.

"Do you three need some assistance?" A voice rang out and they turned their heads to face the man, who was seemingly one of those demonians, before Alex admitted to him that they didn't know where they were. "Yeah, we're trying to figure out where the training area is." And this person easily helps them, pointing at the map they found where the area they were looking for, as well as pointing out where they were.

"You know, people would normally know where they are heading when they're this deep into the building. Either this is your first time here, are you guys just really that bad with directions. Or both, it can be both." He joked until Pat admitted to him that it was, in fact, both of those. "Yeah, first time, and we're bad when it comes to directions." 

"Yeah, I can tell!" The man laughed before composing himself again. "Sorry, sorry, just a little joke. But, if I may ask, why are you needing to go to the training hall?" "Oh, I need to go see Sebastian, that's all. We're here on behalf of someone." The one they were speaking to stops to ponder. "Hmm, I can't recall anyone having any business with him..." "But why would you know if he has business with anyone?"

The question asked by Pat, while not knowing why they needed to go see this Sebastian person still, still wondered that at the very least. "Well, that's only because he usually talks about the 'adventures' he has. Whether it's from him killing demons or if it's his strongly advised against ventures into the black market, he seemingly can't help himself from talking about those things. It's truly a spectacle that he even knows how to shut up." 

"But, that's enough of that, whatever business you have with him, I'm certain he'll be happy to oblige." The man finished as the others gave a nod with Alex thanking him, "Yeah, thanks for that..." He was saying before stopping, realizing that none of them had gotten his name. And the other realized that as well. "Oh, that's right, how could that have gone under my nose? Call me Sven." Sven said, and having revealed his name to them and then checking his watch, he looked back at them.

"Well, you three better be off now, because that man could be gone at any time now for all we know. Don't need to miss your last chance. You'll regret it forever if you do." He laughed once more, walking past them, having finished that conversation while Alex and Pat look back at Mike, both of them remembering the fact that this Sebastian person probably wasn't meant to be in the black market, and if all was to be assumed, Gris had something to do with it. "Gris?"

Pat asked again like earlier as Mike nodded this time, "Gris." Followed by an "Of course..." from Alex. Why would they ever get their hopes up at this point? She probably had connections 'round the globe for all they knew, and there was also a high likelihood that a lot of those connections were rotten to the core. Nevertheless, they continued onwards until they made it to the training area, it being filled with different things from personal training equipment or equipment to train using weapons.

There were multiple people there, so they tried asking around, and eventually they were shown the one man, jumping around and about in blue with his jacket hood up in an empty part of the training room, seemingly meant for practicing maneuvering around and of the sort. "Hey, you Sebastian?" Mike yells out to the man who stops what he was doing before he pulled down his hood, revealing the pair of horns on his head, showing that he was a demonian as he yelled back to them.

"Yeah, why?" "Gris sent us an-" Before he could attempt to continue talking, a bullet flew above his head while the other two ducked for cover. All he could do for that moment was stand there, frozen in shock as numerous other bullets pass by him, and once they stopped, he turned around to see an outline of himself in the wall from the bullets before turning back to Sebastian, who walked towards him, twirling his guns around before leaving them to their holsters, "So, what can I do for you?"
