"You sure you don't wanna come explore the town with us" Rengoku asked Bell. The rest of the Hestia familia was all packed and ready to head into the city having deposited their things in the hotel. However Bell was still in his swimwear just outside of the towns gate.
"Nah I'm gonna head back to the beach and look for the weapons Loki mentioned and considering there might be trouble best I start now" Bell said.
"Alright but be careful you'll be alone out there who knows what else is down there" Rengoku said giving Bell a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
Bell turned to walk back to the beach but turned around quickly and spoke to Hestia.
"Oh by the way Hestia you never told me my alias"
"Oh right with all that happened it slipped my mind, but I tried my best and they gave you the alias heartbreaker" Hestia said.
"What I haven't even broken anyones heart yet" Bell said perplexed.
Hestia chuckled before she spoke. "Well let's just say a bunch of goddess saw your picture and came up with it"
"Uh whatever you guys have fun I'm gonna go find some weapons" Bell said finally walking away from the group.
"Well now that that's taken care of let us have some fun" Rengoku said clasping his hands together. The familia minus Bell wandered throughout the streets of Melen. Because unlike Oraio it was a port town looking out on the ocean which was a sight many in the group had trouble taking their eyes off of. After enough walking they came upon the market and Hestia and Rengoku had to grab onto the kids to make sure they didn't bolt off.
"Alright before you kids go and explore remember to meet back at the hotel before dinner and behave I don't want any problems alright" Hestia said in a stern but motherly tone.
Not even a second after she and Rengoku let go of the kids had they already disappeared from sight. Hestia just let out a sigh and decided to spend the day with Rengoku. Now you may ask where Welf was in all of this. Simple he got food poisoning and was now suffering in the hotel
The group of four split into two groups of two with Zenitsu and Nezuko in one and Inosuke and Genya in the other.
"Hey kid come here for a second" a blue dwarf said to Genya.
Gent and Inosuke both turned around and saw a forge they passed yet neither of the remember seeing a forge just a second ago. So against all better judgment the two went inside. When the entered they saw another dwarf that was in comparison a lot player than the blue one and a lot skinner as well.
"Alright take out the gun boy let me look at it" the blue dwarf said taking a bite out of a chicken leg.
"Eh watch it you'll get germs everywhere" the paler one panicked.
The blue one ignored the other and took the gun out of Genya's hand and examined it.
"Hmm good craftsmanship, all parts are clean showing it's well taken care of" he then put the barrels up to his nose and sniffed. "Been fired many times over 4 or 5 years since I production yet shows no sign of rust or wear" he finished his examination and tossed it back to Genya. "That's a mighty fine weapon there kid where'd you get it"
"I uh made it in my free time when I found out I was a terrible swordsman" Genya replied rubbing the back of his head.
"Really such fine craftsmanship and at such a young age, say kid you ever think about making more of these"
"Uh not really I kinda just made that on a whim why do you ask"
"No reason just an old man's curiosity that's all. Oh where are my manners I'm Brock and this is my brother Sindri" the blue man said finally introducing himself.
"Well I'm Genya and that's Inosuke" Genya said pointing to Inosuke who had remained silent the whole time.
"Ah well not the weirdest I've seen someone look nice to meet you boy" Brock said sticking out his hand for Inosuke to shake. Inosuke took it all to confused on the smithing talk they just had.
"Damn it's a shame our blacksmithing friend got food poisoning he would've loved to meet you guys" Genya said.
"Oh and why is that" the paler one Sindri asked.
"Cause he makes some really cool shit and I'd bet he like master smiths like yourselves look at his work"
"Oh and how do you know we're smiths boy" Brock asked with and eyebrow raised.
"Simple cause your crest is on my buddies blade just around the hilt,you know the one with chains" Genya said a smug smile on his face.
"Brother do you know what this means" Sindri said.
"Yes it's been well over 200 years since I last saw someone wield those blades. Tell me this friend of yours where are they" Brock asked.
"Well right about now he should be at the bottom of the ocean looking for two weapons someone told him about"
"Ah so that's who Loki was talking about when she asked where the axe was" Sindri thought.
"Boys why don't you stay here for a while and tell us about your friend and don't worry we promise on our blacksmiths pride we will not harm the boy" Brock said.
So both Inosuke and Genya both pulled up a seat Inosuke still very confused on what's happening and started talking.
"Oh Zenitsu look at all the fish" Nezuko said.
"Nezuko we just ate fish why do you want more" Zenitsu asked.
"Cause they're yummy" she replied cutely.
Zenitsu just sighed and shook his head a small smile appeared on his face. "While yes they are Nezuko remember Welf got food poisoning because of them"
"Fine ooh let's go look at the weapons I wanna see if I can find a spear"
"A spear why a spear" Zenitsu questioned.
"Cause I'm really good with one me and my brother use to hunt boar" Nezuko said before smiling bitterly.
Zenitsu picking up on this decided to distract Nezuko. "Alright then let's go look for one" he said taking her hand into his and leading her.
So the members of the Hestia familia went about their day completely unaware of what had been happening with the Loki familia until night had fallen and Loki was at the hotel asking for Hestia's help.
"Loki calm down and tell us what's wrong" Rengoku said trying to mediate the meeting.
"Kali famila took Tiona and Tione and are currently fighting in the streets of Melen with my kids so I need your help to defeat them before she takes them away" Loki replied.
No one said anything all ready gearing up to go help. Loki looked in astonishment as their goddess hadn't even agreed to help. Hestia nothing Loki face spoke up. "Like I told you at the beach about Bell if he wanted to help you I wouldn't stop him same goes for the rest of my kids"
"Someone needs to go and tell Bell" Nezuko said attaching her quiver to her side.
"Oh I have a feeling he already knows" Hestia said a smug grin on her face.
"Huh so these are the weapons" Bell thought as he grabbed them. In his right hand was a spear but he could feel this spear was not a normal one. In his left hand was an axe that seemed to shrink from its original size so he would be able to wield it. As he was touching both weapons however a memory that wasn't his came and he suddenly knew the name of both weapons.
"The leviathan axe and gungnair huh" Bell thought before kicking off the ocean floor and swimming to the surface. When he arrived he noticed that it was night time and he had spent all day looking for these weapons. "Huh this spear doesn't feel like it's for me" Bell thought noticing how the spear felt off balanced. "Eh doesn't matter I wasn't gonna use it anyway might as well head back now" Bell began to swim back to the shore before another flash of memories came to him showing him how to use each weapon. "Uh what the hell is going on" he thought before he shook his head. Then he heard it,it was low at first but there was no mistaking it. The whistling was back and this time it was guiding him to a ruin of an arena so Bell began his swim there.
After a few minutes Bell arrived and saw a small platform. He threw his spear up before hoisting himself up and grabbing the spear once more. Bell then stopped,because one the other side of the wall Bell felt multiple people on the other side well over a hundred. So instead of walking through the front door Bell dropped the axe and put the spear in his mouth before unsheathing his blades of chaos and stabbing them in the stone and began climbing. When he reached the top he found an empty hallway but heard sounds of fighting up ahead. Steeling himself he stuck out his hand and focused on the axe. A few seconds later he heard something flying towards him before he felt the ace impact his hand catching it. "Huh useful" he thought.
He then walked down the hallway getting closer to the cheering before he came to an opening. When he got the he saw Tiona fighting a Amazon with a scarf covering her face.Bell watched the fight between the two having a feeling Tiona needed to do this herself. Bell smelled the air however and noticed the smell of poison coming from the scarf wearing amazons weapon. However Bell still watched not getting involved just yet.
Tiona swung her Urga at her opponent which was blocked before feeling a kick to her stomach sending her sliding back.
"I bet you can feel it Tiona the poison slowly doing its work. You're finding it harder to move harder to see harder to even think. Soon you'll be paralyzed unable to move. Tell me how does that feel" the woman asked.
"I'm not going back" Tiona gave a short reply before charging again. She swung her blade harder and harder with each swing knowing that if she lost she wouldn't see her friends again. See him again. An image of a white haired boy with one Ruby eye popped up in her mind before she swung one final time sending her opponent into a while. Seeing that her opponent wouldn't get back up she fell to her knees panting. She then heard a slow but mocking clap.
"Well done well done" said a short and very skinny goddess. "But since you beat Bache I'm changing the deal you're still coming back but you'll be my new vice captain. Someone grab her and take her to the boat"
All the Amazons in the stands jumped out of their seats and moved towards Tiona. Tiona couldn't move the poison had done it's job. Her eyes felt heavy from exhaustion and began to fill with despair knowing she would be taken back to her homeland. She saw one amazons hands get closer and closer but then she quickly withdrew them before and axe landed right where her hands had been. Then a figure landed right in front of her picking up the ace with their left hand hanging it lazily at there side. She struggled to look up but when she did she saw white hair and a single red and blue eye staring back at her. He gave her and gentle smile the type of smile saying everything would be alright. She then felt the final effects of the poison and her exhaustion causing her to pass out. But as she was losing consciousness she thought only one thing. "Why is his eye blue" and the she hit the ground.
Bell hearing her hit the ground turned back to face the goddess. While doing so he counted the amazons in the arena and counted out just about a hundred.
"Now when someone says no that means no you immature goddess" Bell said anger evident in his voice.
"Oh and just who are boy to talk to goddess that way" she responded equally as angry.
"A friend plain and simple" he replied a smirk on his face as he knew he would have to fight over a hundred amazons with battle experience.
"It doesn't matter to me you'll still die anyway girls kill him" the goddess said with a dismissive wave of her hand almost like she was bored.
Bell gave a cocky smirk more so to hide his nerves than anything else before he spoke. "Bring it on then"
That's the end of this chapter hoped you enjoyed. Also I have a question to ask which can change the story in big ways.
Either 1. Bell and co rescue haruhime before the war game leading to a different outcome for the future.
Or option 2. Keep the canon of after the war game leading to a new entertainment district arc.
Either way it's my choice just want to know you opinions on what you think. Anyways leave a comment on what you thought see ya.
This is what Bache looks like btw.
Also Gungnair is Odin's spear.
