Steel was still walking behind Ko when they came to the unnamed tavern-like building. The area was densely inhabited. The houses were so close to each other that most of them were literally stuck together making a sort of wall that made going around the buildings extremely slow in comparison to going through. The highest of the nearby buildings being at most four or five meters tall. Which in itself was tall but meant no buildings around here exceeded two stories.

Turg as he was called wouldn’t know that the two of them were coming together. Seeing as Ko actually came back Steel imagined that Turg actually would think that Steel was dead. They had a solid cover and could have done this sneakily if not for Ko’s next move. When Ko kicked down the front door and shouted for Turg to come out. Steel who was visible from behind Ko made one of the figures start running towards the kitchen exit.

Steel sighed and quickly spoke to Ko “Idiot, You fight your way through and I will chase Turg.” He then quickly ran through the opening before people had gotten on their feet shoving one to the side and swiftly getting through the entire pub before going out into the kitchen. Turg threw a frying pan behind him so that Steel had to duck it making the distance between them slightly bigger but Steels physical abilities were nothing to scoff at and he would keep chasing Turg out through the back of the building.

On Ko’s end all of the ruffians and Turg’s paid men were now on their feet and would give Ko a fair fight as he was outnumbered twenty to one.

Steel kept chasing Turg. Turg ran through the backstreet knocking over a cart of cabbages. The man with the cart screamed “My cabbages!!!” as the cabbages rolled through the street and the cart blocked the path. Steel jumped over it in a very parkour fashion. Next Turg ran through another backdoor through a building and onto what he maybe thought was another street. It was however a yard enclosed with buildings he was lucky though as there was maintenance being done on one of the buildings and therefore there was an easy way using ladders and scaffolding to get to the roof. Turg started climbing and was about halfway up when Steel entered the yard and saw him moving upwards. Steel started climbing after him. He needed to get information out of Turg so he didn’t want to hurt him.

The chase for Turg then continued across the rooftops. Turg ran on the roof tiles and onto a roof seating area that was covered in lines with clothes hanging on dry. He would have disappeared behind them if it wasn't for the fact that Steel was right behind him and saw him run through them. The chase would continue for a while longer when Turg entered a roof entrance that led to a staircase down to the street. Steel followed like a bloodhound.

Turg ran across a street just as some carts were passing. While Turg was able to get by before the carts Steel would have to do a lot more if he wanted to keep up. He jumped on top of a table in an outdoors servings area for a café and then started jumping on top of the carts until he was on the other side. To Steel it felt like it took ages but to onlookers it might have seemed as if mere seconds passed.

Turg ran through a tunnel. A bad idea. There was nowhere he could go but straightforward and since Steel was faster than Turg he easily started gaining on him. Turg tried to run faster but the uneven pacing in comparison to his own and because they were running across cobblestone roads each step was already uneven.

Turg fell to the ground not because Steel had hurt him but because Turg had been clumsy with where he was running. One of his feet had been caught between cobblestones.

Steel gained even more on him and was now standing almost above him. He was practically screaming/shouting in Turgs face. “So you are the one that is out for me eh? Well too bad. I am the one in control of the situation now!.” Turg tried to slowly crawl away but his ankle had sprained when he fell and so he didn’t really have the capacity to move away.

Steel had somehow been overcome by some underlying feeling of hatred. Probably because of the large amount of adrenaline that was now pumping through his veins. It was almost as if time slowed whenever he wasn’t focusing on Turg.

He kicked Turg once to get Turg to fly around onto his stomach. Then he slowly stepped up by his side. “Why are you after me?!” Steel said in a very stern, hateful voice. Turg didn’t say a word, the one he was working with was probably dangerous enough that he thought giving away whatever reason they were after Steel up was worse than Steel doing whatever he would to him here and now.

When Turg kept his lips sealed, Steel raised his foot up and stomped down on one of Turg’s hands, breaking most of the bones in it. “If you don’t tell me I will do worse things to you than you can imagine. WHY ARE YOU AFTER ME?!?!” Steel shouted angrily this time. If anyone walked into the area they were in they would probably hear and locate Steel and Turg easily. Turg still kept his lips sealed so Steel stomped on one of Turgs shins splintering the bone inside. Turg opened his mouth only to scream in pain and that was when Steel lifted Turg off the ground with one arm and held him in place two feet in the air in front of him. He then raised his sword and spoke. “I won’t ask again.”

Turg opened his mouth and started spilling the beans. He had been hired by someone to kill Steel, The one who had hired Turg had been a bit tight lipped about why but it seemed that they didn’t want Steel to come after them. To Steel it was obvious, it was the bandits that had killed his parents that were out to finish the job. Steel knocked Turg out and started walking back to the tavern. He wanted to give Turg to Ko.

Steel had walked all the way back from the alley. The moving was slow and the information he had gotten out of Turg was not all he had wanted but was probably all he could get. He sighed as he dragged the unconscious body behind like a dead fish. He didn't care if Turg’s head hit the curb or anything of the like. In a weird fashion Steel’s behaviour hadn’t been so hero like. Something which was Steel’s personal calling card, that he was a hero. Getting inside the bar he witnessed the mess that Ko had brought to the area. He had smashed the entire place. The only one left standing was Ko and it seemed he wasn’t really at his best. Steel didn’t even look like his usual self. Somehow he looked like he was dead inside. Like he cared about nothing.

He tossed Turg’s unconscious body onto one of the nearby tables and looked over at Ko. Slowly one of the patrons of the bar that had fought Ko started getting up. He had probably not been knocked out hard enough. Just as the person got into a push-up position to get up Steel kicked him in the head as if kicking a football. The person promptly fell unconscious again. It wasn’t characteristic of Steel to kick people who were already down on the ground.

Steel then looked back at Ko and spoke in a cold unfeeling tone as he walked past Ko towards the exit. “I am done with him. He gave me what I wanted. So now he is yours.” As Steel said this he moved out of the bar and onto the street. Slowly leaving for some other place in the world. He did not know where his travels would take him next but he knew that the bandits that had killed his parents were alive and if he got famous and annoying enough they would probably come for his head again. The next time it happened Steel would crush them.
