Later that day, a lightning bolt struck the ground right next to the abandoned building where the Pistols and Grunthos had their last battle. A man emerged from the crater it caused and looked around. Nobody was around and the man walked into the building. He saw Grunthos’ body on the ground in a melted puddle. He started to tear up but quickly blinked them away before letting out a thunderous yell.

 

 “How dare they kill my little brother? They'll pay with their lives!” He yelled as lightning formed all around his body. The lighting spread throughout his body and quickly overtook the building, destroying it. He then took off into the clouds, making them turn dark. It began to rain heavily, soaking the area in minutes. The man then disappeared from the area.

 

The next day, the Pistols were summoned to the Akuma House. When they got there, they were greeted by a familiar man. This man was Sebastian, the leader of the biggest mercenary group in the world who has helped the House of Seven a few times over the years. Sebastian asked them all to sit and said he had things to discuss with them. They all sat down to listen to what Sebastian had to say. Sebastian explained that the guy they killed was part of a small organization called Ouroboros. He told them that their leader was none other than Lucas Alden. Sotto’s father and some of the other house members were shocked at this news. However, they weren't as shocked as the Houses were when Godfrey explained that they already knew about Lucas and Ouroboros. Sebastian laughed a bit then explained to them that Lucas used to be in a branch of his organization but they had a falling out due to Lucas stealing intel. 

 

“Now that he's making moves again, it’s my job to bring him to justice,” Sebastian said. “Grunthos was just the beginning. His older brother, Ghidor, is going to be a bigger problem, especially now that Grunthos is dead. Ghidor has probably already made his next move and will be coming after you soon.”

 

Sebastian told the Pistols that he was willing to help them take down Ghidor because he needed him to find out where Lucas was hiding. Sebastian was looking at Godfrey as if Godfrey was the leader of the group, but Godfrey just sat down. He explained that Rayne was their leader, the Great Pistol. Sebastian seemed kind of shocked when he heard that and Rayne stood up and told Sebastian that they would be honored for his assistance. She told him that she wanted to know Ghidor’s ability so that, going forward, they knew how to handle the situation when it came. Sebastian was surprised that Rayne was so versatile and at a young age. 

 

In Sebastian's head, he wanted to vomit in his mouth. It was blasphemous that their leader was a young stupid girl. He also thought that this would make things easier down the road when he would reveal his true identity as the evil Black Pistol, Zollic. Sebastian smiled and accepted their offer to help, telling them that Ghidor was a lighting user. He explained that he had over one hundred kills under his belt but when it came to his abilities, Sebastian didn't know exactly what they were. He did know, of course, he just wanted to keep that information to himself for now. For the next few days, Sebastian stayed and watched the Pistols as they trained for a fight with Ghidor. Little did the Pistols know, without Sebastian’s help, they wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating Ghidor. 

 

The Pistols were on their way to Rurima’s place when a lightning storm appeared out of nowhere right in front of them. In the lightning storm, there was a face that they've never seen before. Introducing himself, the face explained that he was Ghidor and that he was inviting them to a deathmatch with him in the city of Yorm. It would take place in two days' time and he said the one who killed Grunthos was going to suffer a pain worse than death. This put a smile on Rare’s face as she felt the anticipation of fighting yet another one of these guys buzz through her. The thunderstorm slowly started to fade away and they all felt the immense power from the storm and knew things were getting real from this point on. When they got to Rurima’s place, they explained the situation and she told them that if they thought Grunthos was a threat, then they were in for it because he was nothing compared to Ghidor. She was glad that they had some help in the form of Sebastian, though. She knew that without him, even Rayne’s power as the Great Pistol, might not be enough to stop Ghidor. The Pistols all gulped, knowing that this was going to be a problem fight because Rurima was talking seriously .
