The Fated Rivals

Bell decided to try some negotiations with the Loki Familia. Bell went to the Twilight Manor. Bell was stopped by the guards in the Loki Familia. Finn saw Bell talking to the guards from inside the building.

Bell and Finn decided to have a meeting. None other than Finn wanted to talk to Bell. Finn appreciated Bell's Guts to come there all along. Then asked Bell to explain himself. Bell told everything he knew about Xenos. In turn Finn pointed out the problem that Hestia Familia may face in the future.

Bell apologized for the trouble he had caused. Then he asked Finn to come and talk with the Xenos. Bell wanted Finn to realize their true feelings.  In turn Bell pulled out a sphere shaped key.

Finn was very surprised to see the key of Konoss in Bell's hand. Finn asked Bell from where did he get it. Bell told him that he got it while crushing one of his enemies.

Finn and Bell came to an agreement. Finn decided to go with Bell. The other executives opposed with Bell's request. Then Finn took Riveria and Gareth along with him & Bell. Bell lead their way to the underground tunnel in the Daedalus Street.

There in the tunnel the Xenos were not expecting Loki Familia executives. They were all taken aback to see them. Bell told them to charm down.

Finn " So I heard that you all can speak. So  this young man suggested a talk with you all. So go ahead, let us know what you guys really want. "

Lyd " we never  expected  a meeting like this."

Finn, Riveria and Gareth were surprised to hear a Lizardman speak.

Riveria " Is my mind playing  tricks on me "

Gareth " Want me to punch your face?"

Finn " What are you guys and what is happening in the dungeon?"

Lyd and Ray come forward. " We are the Xenos. Just like you surface dwellers we are monsters who  have been gifted with intelligence. "

Fels came out of the shadows " or should I say, manufacturing defects."

Finn " What do you want? You say you have intelligence, then why did you guys attack  us, that day."

Lyd " Just like you all, we also have dreams. A dream to live a peaceful life in the surface."

Gross " The attack on the surface was all a misunderstanding. I will take the blame on that stupid decision. Some of our kind got killed by adventures while we are going through our secret paths. We thought that we are betrayed by the guild. So we decided to come and claim our freedom on our own."

Gareth " That black minatour, was he with you guys. ?"

Ray" Yes, he is the strongest one among us. He is always kind of a protestor for us.  "

Gareth " Does he have a name?"

Ray " Yes, it's Asterius"

Gareth " I won't forget that name. He is indeed a warrior."

Riveria " I don't think it's time for you all to live in the surface. "

Lyd " Yes we are well aware of this "

Riveria " how can you guarantee that you won't attack us again if we let you go easy for now."

Lyd " Then, we make a promise. if you find us crazy on the  surface then you can have our heads. "

Finn " Make  sure that you stick to your promise otherwise we won't be  easy on your next time."

Finn told Bell that he will tell his decision tomorrow. Finn and others when back to twilight manor. Bell asked the Xenos to don't give up hope.

Finn had a meeting with all his comrades. It was really tough for Finn to convince them. Since they all believe in Finn they decided follow his instructions. Aiz got confused with her  true feelings and the reality. She don't know how to change quickly unlike others. Then Riveria tried hard and finally was able to  convince her partially. Since she was feeling uncomfortable she was excluded from the party of helping Xenos.

The next day Finn agreed to Bell's deal. They came to an agreement to move the  Xenos back to the dungeon  in the night.

In the night the Xenos  were moved to the Dungeon very smoothly with the help of Loki Familia. Bell gave the Knossos Key to Finn. The Xenos thanked Finn and Bell for helping them a lot. Finn apologized to Bell for what Aiz have done to him. Bell said that he is perfectly okay. Then both of the gentleman shake their  hands and part their  way to their respective home.

  Then they all heard  lefiya and Aisha pleading to someone from the Oculus. 

Lefiya " Asterius, Please don't hurt us. We haven't done anything wrong at all."

Aisha " Okay, Okay We will tell you everything, Just put that  huge weapon away. "

Asterius " Then speak, Where is Wiene?"

On hearing this Bell's eye brows widened.

Aisha " She was kidnapped by Dix's Men. They intended to sell her abroad. But our Captain stopped  them. But in the struggle, Wiene lost her gem stone.  She went on a rampage in the ship. No matter he called out to her, she was no more the Wiene we know. Then our captain freed her from the suffering. But I am sure it wasn't intentional at all. " 

Lefiya " That's right, he didn't have any other choice. "

On hearing that, Finn  " Bell, Are you the one who eliminated the Ikelos Familia in the ship."

A moment of silence.

Bell " I will explain that latter , Mr Finn."

through Oculus Asterius " You filty humans, How dare you betrayed all of us. I will make you pay for this."

Bell took the oculus from Lili " Hey, Hey, hello there, I am the one whom you might be looking for,  I will come and you can have me just don't touch my girls. "

Asterius suddenly listened to the voice in Lefiya's hand. 

Asterius " So you were hearing us. Alright then come and get your girls if you can."

Asterius then crushed the Oculus with his fingers. 

Bell " Hey, Hey...Tch... Damn it"

Bell rushed to the Daedalus street.  It was completely dark, but Bell can see very clearly. Finn and and others also arrive at the same time.  Then Bell saw Lefiya and Aisha running toward him. Asterius didn't hurt them instead asked them to lead the way to him. He warned them not to try any tricks and if they do then he will kill them both.

Bell  caught them both by their hands"  Hey you two,  Are you Okay, Did he hurt you or something"

Lefiya " No, we are fine, but......."

All of them looked back. Then they large and strong foot steps. From the darkness arises a Black Minotour. Asterius  noticed that he is being surrounded by Finn and his comrades. Then he noticed Aisha and Lefiya standing aside Bell. Then he stepped forward.

Asterius introduced himself to Bell. Bell also introduced himself as well. Bell realized that it was the reincarnated Minotour whom he had killed some months ago. Asterius challenged Bell into a duel. Bell with a smile on his face put on his jocker mask and pulled out both of his weapon. Finn asked no one to interfere in the battle. He then commanded to his subordinates to make  sure the people are safe.

Then the Legendary battle began. The whole Orario shocked and stunned by the fight between them. Many first class adventures came to see the fight. That includes both Finn and Ottar. Aiz was also there. 

But the thing is, none of the people know the fact that Bell was the jocker mask. All of them were stunned by watching the fight. Then the people start cheering for the jocker.

Both of them fight each other with a burning passion in their eyes. When Asterius began to dominate, Bell used his Jocker skill. Then both of fight like equals for 45 secs. This sudden increase in the jocker's level really confused all of them.

Then Bell used 10 sec charged Argo Vesta to cut down Asterius's right hand. Finn and Ottar was shocked to see that.

Then Bell lost the effect of the Jocker skill.  Both Asterius and Bell charged at each other. Bell couldn't hold it any longer.

(Just like in the anime, Asterius defeated Bell)

But Asterius choose to finish him off. He moved towards Bell who was laying  flat to the ground. Asterias raised his hand to punch and crush him into pieces. But something unexpected happened. The very moment when Asterius was about to hit his head, Bell's body split into a group of bats. These bats  flew around him for a while and escaped out of the dungeon entrance.

Asterius was shocked to find out Bell's another ability.

Asterius "Now you run, But next time I am  going to kill you for sure."

.........................

Lefiya and other searched for Bell in the dungeon entrance. But none of them could find Bell.
