Big Mess
- At the Folkvangr -
Freya, Ottar and Bell were in her chambers discussing the emergency when Fels appeared.
Fels "Rivira was attacked by the Xenos. This happened soon after the Ikelos familia attacked one of their hidden villages. Apparently a lot of Xenos were killed or captured.
Fels "Ouranos is sending the Ganesha familia to retake Rivira, but Bell may be able to help if he went with them"
Freya "I would allow it if Ottar goes along"
Fels "There is no way Ottar will not be recognized"
Freya "We will get a Hades Hat for Ottar"
Fels "The Ganesha familia is getting ready, and plans to head down to Rivira in 2 hours"
With that, Ottar, Fels and Bell headed to the Hermes home. Not wanting to cause a big rumor at the Hermes familia, Fels would be the only one going inside to borrow a Hades Hat.
After Fels reappeared with the item, Ottar used the Hades Hat to become invisible. They then went to get Bell a Ganesha familia 'uniform' before heading to the Babel.
- At the Twilight Manor -
The Loki executives were frustrated with the instructions from the guild to patrol and guard the city, which seems to be away from the real action in the dungeon. Bete was particularly angry while Ais looked out the window wondering how her boyfriend was doing.
Finn tried to figure out why only the Ganesha familia would be going to retake Rivira. With the only plausible reason being that Ouranos were trying to keep them from something. Finn further concluded that it may be a matter of trust. There was something Ouranos trusted Ganesha with that he did not trust them with...
- At the Hostess -
Aisha went to talk to Ryuu about the situation. After finding out that Evilus may be involved, Ryuu agreed to join a small group to infiltrate the dungeon.
- At the Babel -
Shakti was having trouble keeping her familia members calm after they received the order. They were to try to tame the monsters at Rivira instead of killing them, making their job nearly impossible.
- Two Hours Later -
Having all the necessary material for the mission, the Ganesha familia members headed into the dungeon. That included Bell, who was dressed as a supporter, as well as the invisible Ottar who kept a reasonable distance from Bell.
What they did not realize Asfi, Aisha and Ryuu were also following them.
- Near Rivira
A few hours later, the Ganesha familia group reached the 18th floor. As they approached the destroyed Rivira, they saw a number of armed monsters heading towards them.
As the raging group of monsters attacked, the Ganesha members were trying to tame them. Bell was also fighting when Asfi, Aisha and Ryuu joined in the battle to turn the tide.
When Bell's hooded cloak was ripped away, Lyd immediately noticed him and grabbed him to take him away from the battle.
Lyd "What are you doing here?"
Bell "I am part of the group sent here to keep the peace and reoccupy Rivira."
Lyd "It is not your problem and you should go back to the surface"
Bell "What happened that caused the attack?"
Lyd then explained that the Ikelos familia massacred one of their villages. They crucified a few Xenos and took Wiene and several others hostage. That got Bell really angry and he told Lyd there is no way he would allow Wiene to be taken. Lyd said to leave it to them as he cannot always be in the dungeon. At that point, a Ganesha member tried to tame Lyd, who jumped away and left.
At a nearby location, Fels was trying to reason with Gros, who was furious and told Fels to take the Ganesha members away. Gros then flew away leaving the other Xenos to keep the Ganesha members busy.
As Bell tried to follow Lyd, he ran into Fels who was trying to figure out the location where Gros was heading. As they headed towards the eastern part of the floor, they saw a group of Xenos going towards the dungeon wall. So they also headed there quickly. After some searching, they found an orichalcum door. Fels though had a key so they were able to enter.
Once inside, they heard a lot of noise ahead of them so they followed the passageway. As they entered a large room, they saw a large number of destroyed cages. So they figured the Xenos just were at the room freeing their members. As they walked into the large room, they saw a group of Xenos surrounded by a large group of people. Dix, the head of the Ikelos familia, saw Bell and Fels and realized they were discovered. Dix immediately used his curse Phobetor Daedalus on the group of Xenos near him. Recognizing that Dix was using a curse, Fels protected Bell from it. However, the curse caused the Xenos to lose their control. Dix apparently had the Xenos attack to kill Bell, Fels and each other...
