Danmachi: the lone child

Punishment and the request of an expidition

Bell had stopped crying and got back up he and Ais went to Finn's office. Bell was carrying the short sword of Pock. Bell had knocked on the door. Someone had said come in and they went in. They could see Finn sitting in his chair while Riveria and Gareth were standing Loki sat on the desk looking at them.
Finn: are you here to report.
Bell: yes
Finn: well then let's here it.
Ais: we got a mission from a person we didn't know who he is but we know he was with the guild. He told us to head to floor 18 there we met the Hermès familia. We explored a cave on floor 27 and found the room to be almost alive 6it was weird.
Bell: we continued on but were attacked by more of those flower monster. We're able to kill them and continued on until we had more of those flower monster and Ais were separated from the rest. I retreated with the group since too many of those monsters were there. I was able to destroy all of the monsters with one 5 min charge of my skill. I had lost some mind but thankfully they had potions with. We got to the center there we saw the same object that Ais and I had saw. That's not the only thing, we have a bigger issue that we need to deal with. Remants of Evilus was there olivas act was alive. The members of Evilus charge toward us and exploded. They had bombs on them. The pillar was a crystal type thing.
Finn: yeah we need to take care of the matter we need to find them.
Bell: the pillar was wrapped around by something that looked similar to the plant monster. We didn't have any casualties but the Hermès familia did. So I'm guessing that you are going to have to talk to him about this matter Loki. He summoned the mod rod the plant eating monsters which by that time Bete and Lefiya showed up. He later summoned the viscum and was unwind from the pillar as it started to attack us. It was powerful and giant but i had easily killed it because I had lost control but able to keep my sanity. Ais later showed up and was fighting that tamer. It seems that the object responded toward Ais wind. That object seems important though. We looked at the top of the room and saw a bunch of those man eating plants. Anyways that monster that was killed had been revived and that was when it got really hard. Luckily Lefiya was able to kill it using a 5 min chant. And that is the whole report from my point of view.
Finn: thank you.
Riveria: Bell can I talk to you later.
Bell: sure. Also Finn may talk to you in private.
Finn: sure.
Finn told the others to leave.
Finn: what do you need.
Bell: there was a hobbit who was younger than you that died in that mission. He didn't have any hands and his sister eyes were cut. I told him that someday I would show him to you since he really admired you.
Finn: what happened to him.
Bell: he had sister grab a bomb that hasn't gone off and went under a giant rock and blew up it the rock fell block the plant monsters. He sacrificed himself Finn in order to have Lefiya to finish the chant. I told him that I would get your signature on one of his weapons.
Bell: his final words were Aw man I wished I got you autograph. Both he and his sister died.
Finn: is that his weapon that your holding.
Bell: yes
Finn: can I have it so I can sign it.
Bell: yes.
Bell gave the short sword to Finn unsheathed his short sword and wrote his signature on the blade. It dried up amd whe bell goes and rubs it it wouldn't come off. He put the short sword back in its sheath and gave it to Bell.
Finn: I would have Been proud of him even though weee not in the same familia but as a admirer. I would be really proud of his bravery and his sacrifice for those he holds so dear. He is a true hero in my eyes.
Bell: thank you Finn.
Finn: no problem bell.
Bell was about to leave until Finn called his name.
Finn: Bell.
Bell: what Finn
Finn: tell me what happened when you lost control.
Bell: it felt different from the last time I felt my self taking a bit of control for a few mins. I saw them die by the monsters in front of my eyes Finn. I felt almost the same from before. I couldn't save Pock from blowing himself up I could save the other members from getting killed.
Finn: ok you can leave now.
Bell left the room and went to go find Riveria.
She found Riveria scolding Ais and her punishment was to where anything that Loki likes for about a week. Riveria then head toward the library as Bell headed there as well. He opened the door and saw her reading.
Riveria: come in Bell.
She gestured toward a seat for him.
Riveria: tell me what happened and how you lost control.
Bell told her about how he couldn't save them how he watched on member of the group die.
Riveria: I see Bell you tried your best it was there decision to do this they don't want you to get hung up over there deaths.
Bell: ok
The next week bell went to check upon lefiya to see if you was fine. While on the way he could he loud banging noise and foot steps. At the end of the hall he can see 1 Amazon running down the hall while the other was chasing after her. Lefiya peeked out from her room and saw Tiona running toward her. She asked a bunch of questions but when she was about to reach her, her sister hit her on the head dropping down to the floor.
Tiona: sorry
She got back up and they left. Bell caught up to them and they headed toward the dinning hall where they saw everyone getting there Breakfast. Ais and Bell left toward the guild and meeting LuLune. When they got there they toold the receptionist about there completed quest which intern they gave them a few keys and asked they to follow her. They took them to a room with some lockers and they said you can only open the lockers and get what is inside and kepp. The numbers are. 5, 40, 2, and 10.
They opened them some to see riches and some grimoires inside.
LuLune: oh jackpot ther are some grimoires and riches.—- all of these are great but is this what we all get while we lost members.
LuLune was heart broke and knelt to the floor. Her eyes begins to water and she cried. Bell went toward a window and looked up at the sky. Meanwhile
Freya: I see that the boy's soul had changed back from how it was used to.
Ottar: what would you like me to do?
Freya: all I can do is to just watch over him. For now until the souls of the boy comes back.
I remember the first time I set eyes on him up from the Tower of Babel his souls was different from the rest. His was a Transparent white hue but the only difference was his whole entire soul was shatter and the restitched back together. I could see the scars of where they were broken and put back together. Then later the death of the Astraea familia. His soul had completely changed it had Black stripes and his soul shattered again. I knew he would go after a familia that did that. But now seeing the boy back to his usual self he what would I need to do you think ottar.
Ottar: he will most likely need to get rid of what is affecting him. He had a problem that is holding him back but I'm not sure sure if you could do anything. He will need to do this by himself.
Freya: so for now I will wait and watch over him.
Later Ais and Bell got half while the other got half and left.
Bell: Ais do you want to train together.
Ais: sure but make sure to not over do it.
Bell: I can't I don't want to lose anyone anymore.
Ais: you are almost starting to sound like me again.
Bell: you have a different cause but we are similar.
When they got home they would head toward the captains room and knocked. Some called them telling the to come in. When they entered they saw Loki, Finn, Gareth, and Riveria.
Bell we would like to request an expedition to the 59th floor.
Finn: why
Ais: because we might find something down there. The red haired tamer told us to go there to seek what we would want to know.
Riveria: well we haven't did an expedition in a while.
Gareth: what would we find down there.
Ais I don't know but I asked her what happened to my mother—-.
Everyone looked at Bell knowing he was there.
Bell: why are you staring at me.
Loki: well your here and Ais made a mistake.
Bell: Oh don't worry I knew she told me about it.
Everyone nodded there heads as Ais continued.
Ais: and she Ais said to head to floor 59.
Finn: well that's is going to be an exciting achievement.
Loki: I will have the Hephaestus familia join us.
Riveria: well we would need to work out the findings though.
Finn: well it's settled we're forgoing to have an expedition.
Ais and Bell left the room. At dinner everyone sat and wait for an announcement.
Finn: we're going to go on an expedition to floor 59. This is the time you will show us how far you came and show us that you can stand against the monsters!
Everyone screamed and cheered.Tiona and Tione got excited while Bete smirked.
Finn: make sure you train hard we're going to have this expedition in 2 weeks.
Everyone got pumped up form that and they started eating. The next day in early in the morning. Ais and Bell secretly escaped and headed toward on top of the wall. The sun was about to rise and Bell and Ais got there weapons out. They took a stance and ran toward each other. Bell swung his knife toward Ais but she was faster than bell. Bell blocked most of her attacks but got a nice punched to the face and knocked out. When he woke they started again and Bell decided to start to attack faster. Ais blocked most attacks and can keep up with Bell. She thrust forward which Bell caught a glimpse and decided to kick her away.
Ais: that was different you did from before and your speed has increased.
Bell: thanks.
Ais: do you think you can keep up with my wind.
Bell: I don't know but I can try
Ais: ok....... tempest
She activated her wind which Bell started to see the wind blowing rapidly around here.
Ais: ok now let's begin.
Bell and Ais started again and this time Going as fast as she can Ais was able to knock him out. Bell woke up again to see this time Ais is looking down on him. He got back up and siad: again.
Ais: i think we should take a break.
Bell: one more time then we can stop.
Ais: deal
Ais reactivated her wind and bell got into his stance. When Ais went for the first strike Bell can start to barely see here move from her position. Bell blocked the attack and used his other knife to counter. She ducked and made some space. Bell charged her but she started striking at him. He could barely see her movements trying to find a pattern. At the time Bell had many scratches and bruises on his body. Ais attacked first but this time Bell was able to block half of the amount of strikes that Ais had did. He wouldn't give up on the fight and he went to attack first. Ais started her attacking which now Bell and blocked most of her attacks and saw an opening for him to punch her.
Bell punched Ais away and realized he finally did it. Ais was surprised to see Bell was able to hit her and blocked most of her attacks using the wind.
Ais: well that's it for training then
Bell and Ais Left the wall only to have someone watching them.
In Finns office the goddess and the 3 executives were talking about the expedition.
Finn: well if what Ais says is true then we can figure out what is going on and what are the new monsters and we can finally put an end to Evilus.
Riveria: yes i agree this might answer some questions that we have.
Gareth: This would be our new record to reach this would excite the younglings this would push all of them.
Finn: yes this would be most definitely push them. Anyway I'll go to see Hephaestus and talk about the arrangements.
Loki: I'll be at the Denatus while your gone and also I'll have a meeting with someone.
Riveria started to look out the window and saw Bell and Ais sparring on top of the wall. She slightly smiled and saw Ais going a lap pillow to the unconscious Bell. Later she saw him wake up and they went at it again this time she used the wind and riveria knew that Bell wouldn't handle the speed but knows that she can heal him when he gets back. Bell got knocked out again and wakes up only and started fighting again. This time she saw how Bell was able to stand against Ais for a short period of time but then saw him keeping us with her wind. She was surprised that Bell was able to keep up almost with Ais wind.
Loki: whatcha looking at
Riveria come and see for your self.
Loki Finn and Gareth headed toward the windo and saw Bell and Ais sparring. They watched to see Bell blockeing most of her attacks and finally they get to see him punch Ais with her wind on.
Finn: Bell is really something isn't he.
Gareth: hahahaha..... Finn you got that right I'm surprised that he was able to get a hit in while she used her wind.
Loki: that boy man he is getting a lot stronger.
It reminds me of the time when you three first joined and how you would battle each other most of the time.
Finn: yeah that was a good one. Well are we all in.
Loki put her hand in the middle: for fighting for adventure
Riveria put her hand in the middle: to a new generation of adventures.
Gareth put his hand in the middle: for a lifetime of exploration
Finn put his hand in the middle: to explore the worlds unseen and the unknown.
All: for the new generation of adventurers.
