Chapter 15
Sparks of weapons clashing each other was seen throughout the whole training yard. Thankfully they gave Bell daggers to work with, although he would've prefer to use his fist he gladly took the offer. Finn was surprised that he's able to keep up with him. He isn't serious right now, but in a few minutes he'll have to since Bell is.… gaining more speed, strength, and so and so forth.
Bell's black fire started to grow and grow. For the executives watching, it reminded them of a red haired girl, a girl that would always compliment about herself, a very kind person. She was able to do something similar like him. Flames being on their hands and feet, looking as if it's burning their skin, however it isn't. A strong fire welder.
Bell backed up, then sent multiple fireballs at Finn. Finn dodged all of them but was surprised by his next move. Bell sent his fist down to the ground, making the ground shake, more cracks appearing. Seeing him off guard Bell dashed towards Finn, punching him in the gut. Finn spit out saliva, when he landed back on his feet he had already concluded what level Bell could be. With a huge smirk on his face he ran to Bell already confident that this sparing session will prove to the others more than anything that Bell will be useful for the familia.
Whether he has falna or not.

"H-HOW?!" Tione
"What the hell?" Bete
"Wow." Ais and Lefiya
"YEAH!! BEAT HIM BE– I MEAN CAPTAIN!!" Tiona
"(laughs hardly) This kid is amazing!" Gareth
"This is.… a surprise no doubt." Riveria
Loki just had her mouth all the way to ground. All of them completely baffled, shocked, dumbfounded, amazed, and awestruck, seeing their captain, a high level 6, fighting against a person with NO FALNA, in such a spectacular fight.
Whenever Finn would catch Bell off guard Bell would learn his mistakes in seconds and counter it the next move. Bell was successfully defending but his offense is just as good as his defense. Bell was able to get punches, cuts, burns, and bruises on Finn. Finn was able to get cuts, punches, kicks, and a good cut on his ribs. Nothing deadly but it will takes it toll later on.
At first Finn was the only one smirking but later on as the fight continues, Bell started to smirk, a small one, then slowly and slowly his smirk turned into one of a maniac.
.
.
.
Just like him
.
.
.
'Dammit! He's good! Seeing my moves in every way!' Finn was getting more and more excited. He hasn't felt this way in years.
'Aria.… is.… this what amazons feel.… I'm so.… EXCITED!!" Bell not being aware but in the back of his mind, he his 'real' self is slowly taking over. Both of their crazy battle addiction is taking their place.
Today Bell is slowly becoming more like his 'father'
Finn decided to add a little more spice to this fight. He did a backed flip to gain distance from Bell. Bell thought this was over until he herd the others screaming and yelling. From the looks of it, he was chanting something.
The others watching this widen their eyes even more.
"HE'S USING THAT!!" All of them roared. Tiona was getting more and more hype seeing her captain and new familia member fight.
Finn put his thumb on his forehead and began his skill chant.
"Magic spear, penetrate my forehead offering blood!"
Finn eyes changed into an addict. His hair was spiking up. Finn knew that the wounds on him would be a problem, especially in the state he's about faze in but he didn't care. He wanted to enjoy this fight.
"Hell Finegas!"
Once it was done Finn instantly appeared right in front of Bell, he widened his eyes and wasn't able to do anything. He received a punch to the face, sending him to the wall, shaking the whole training yard. A huge dust of sand and smoke was created from the impact Finn made. Finn instantly cooled down from 'Hell Finegas,' thinking that he might of went overboard since Bell isn't getting up by the next seconds passing by. Not only that but
"What hell Finn!" Loki
"Damn..… kids hurt no question about that one." Gareth
"Are you trying to kill him!" Riveria
"HOW COME HE GETS TO FIGHT HIM AND NOT ME!!" Bete
".… Please be ok.…" Ais
"Y-You think he's d-dead?" Lefiya
"C-Captain I think you went overbo-" Tione didn't get to finish
Bell was behind Finn, all of them widened their eyes even more, Finn sensing someone behind him raised both his hands and spear up, blocking the powerful burning punch he received that could even rival Revis'.
'No this is much stronger!' Finn said as he felt his arms in pain when he was sent back.
Everyone took a close look at Bell and saw that his hair was spiked up, his black irises were turned into creaked slits, one of a monster, his red pupils bigger, the black fire flaming more hotter, roaring, wanting to burn its enemies to crips.
He was in his 'Dragon Rage' state
"PFF-HAHAHAHA!!! I HAVE NEVER FELT LIKE THIS IN MY LIFE!!" Bell said laughing like a maniac person. Bell dropped his weapons and was now fists only. He wanted to do this his way. His way of fighting. The way he grew up used to.
Finn seeing him not even bothered by the punch he sent earlier shivered in slight fear for a second before he smiled like a maniac as well.
"Rejoice! (points spear at him) FIGHT ME WITH ALL YOU GOT!! BELL CRANEL!" Finn roared as he and Bell clashed once again.
Instead of the crater being more bigger even though it did, the whole training yard shook, like an earthquake, gushes of air being blown, making the executives hold their ground to not fall on their butts by the ferocious wind blasted in every direction. Lefiya fell on her butt though, not expecting any of this happening. Loki held onto Gareth's leg for dear life.
"WHAT THE HELL MAN!!" Loki said as she was getting more and more annoyed by this.
"HOW IN LOKI'S NAME IS HE STILL GOING?!" Bete yelled loud enough for them to hear.
The clashes of between spear to fists were so loud that it was starting to gain attention from people inside the manor. Thinking that another fight between Bete and Tione transpired once more.
"Don't you think this getting out of hand Riveria!" Tione screamed in worry for Finn as she was seeing Finn getting more burned punches on him.
"Believe it or not it's not lass!" Gareth answered for Riveria.
Everyone started to notice it and not wanting to believe it.… Bell was overpowering Finn. Finn couldn't block Bell's punches due to the pain he's receiving it. It's taking a toll on him.
Finn started to feel his arms go numb.
"How the hell it isn't!" Tione glared at Gareth.
"Finn isn't going all out without a reason Tione!" Tiona took care of Tione for the others. She hopes that the answer she'll give to Tione would satisfy her.
"Oh? (narrows her eyes) Then tell me why-" Tione was cut off again but by a spell she, and the other girls except Riveria were aware of.
"Darkness fills my soul, evil within my soul, not even the purist light,–
Riveria hearing this chant for the first time felt.… weirdly concerned for Finn.
'This chant doesn't sound good at all. Not one bit.'
–Only darkness, I command you darkness, within me, to release."
Finn backed away from Bell. Thinking that it could be that spell the girls were talking about. He felt his thumb ache badly so he had the more reason to.
"Black purge!"
Darkness erupted from his body flying to the sky at first but then went straight down finding its target…
Finn
Finn widened his eyes and tried to escape this however, his thumb started to ache even more,
The others were seeing Finn dodging his best from the blackness flames that was trying to catch its prey. Riveria now knows why Tione thought of him being a level 6.
'This magic is beyond any spells I'm aware of. It's fire and a homing spell.'
"Finn!" Tione was about to rush in to help but a hand was out on her shoulder, stopping her.
She whipped around glaring at the person stopping her, Bete
"The hell you want to mutt!" She hissed. Bete only pointed at the most attention of the fight, Bell.
She looked at Bell and saw him glaring at her. Almost as telling her and everyone that if someone were to interrupt their fight, they would face the consequences.
Something he would do
She gulped and silently nodded. She clutched both her hands praying that this would soon and Finn's safety.
The fire on Bell's right hand was getting more hotter and hotter, more darker and darker, wanting to be released.
"Almost.… there.…" Bell was sweating more than Finn due to obvious reasons. He started to feel his hand burn.
'The more I charge the more it burns for me and my opponent.'
The clothes Jeanne got for him is completely ruined, except for his scarf surprisingly. The scarf was just flying around there and there due to wind and what not. His clothes had holes in them, blood on them, burned marked on them, it really was ruined.
As for Finn, he couldn't stop dodging and weaving. The darkness is still following him. Almost as if it want him dead. If it were the case Finn thought, he was now more convinced that Bell was the one who killed the violas. He was getting more burnt and it started to hurt more and more. Just like Bell, his clothes were tattered as well. Both of them didn't look good.
Finn gripped his spear tight, almost bending it. He was determined to win this. He wanted to win this. He didn't know why but he just wanted to.
Again.… he hadn't felt like this in a years
Not even Riveria or Gareth have pushed him to the point he wanted to use 'Hell Finegas.''Just a few more seconds.…' Bell needed 10 more seconds and it'll be done. This fight could be over and he could finally let this fire burning him go away.
Finn now had a clear shot to send his spear directly at Bell's shoulder. 'If it weren't for this damn fire I would've already sent it!' Complaining about the darkness that is still chasing after him.
Both knowing that this will be the end of this little spar, were now trying to figure out.… how did this happen? Especially Bell. He shrugged it off, now back to focusing on Finn.
Finn now saw it. Bell moved his fist just an inch, he saw it. Finn jumped high to get the best clear and good spot to send his spear, finally found it, with all his level 6 strength he fully sent his spear towards Bell's shoulder.
Bell seeing Finn in the air, clear shot in front of him, was ready to send his dragon.
"DRGAON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!" A bigger dragon than the one yesterday, was flying towards Finn in high speed, its red eyes glaring at Finn, the black fire like teeth, ready to chomp and burn Finn.
"RRROOOOAAAARR!!!" Making the executives more surprised and.… scared the spell Bell sent.… roared.
Bell couldn't see the spear he sent since Finn was in the suns view. Perfect for Finn. Finn seeing the huge black fire dragon widens his eyes in shock and slight fear, due to the red eyes it had. He raised both his arms up ready to take the fire straight ahead. Bell not knowing the spear could only look at the dragon he sent towards Finn, until he finally saw it.
Bell was going to back away but
"Gah!" He spit out blood.
'Dammit the fire is burning inside of me again.' He couldn't move due to him overheating. The amount of fire and dark power he used is finally taking its toll on him.
"SHIT!" Bete
"MOOVVEE!!" All of them took cover. Not wanting to feel the impact from both blows. Loki was really holding onto Gareth for dear life.
"Please don't die, please don't die, please don't die, please don't die, please don't die, please don't die." Tione was praying that both fighters won't die due to their recklessness.
However she's more worried for Finn than Bell. Bell didn't look like he was hurt at all from her view.
Ais however noticed that Bell was coughing blood again. She was thinking of running up to him and save him from the spear but.… it was too late

1 day later

We could see Finn and Bell in the Diac Cecht hospital. This time in bandages, Finn was bandaged from top to bottom. Bell was bandaged only on his chest and arms since that was the only areas Finn was attacking.
After the collision from both blows. They both passed out, all bloodied up. The Loki familia immediately carried both of them to the hospital to see help.
Everyone were shocked to see Finn, 'The Braver' all bloodied up with another person, Arimid already knowing what to do, did her job as the head chief and captain of the hospital.
"D-Damn. Kid got me good." Finn started laughing heartily. Looking down at his bandaged hands. The others did not laugh making Finn sweat drop for failing to cheer up the mood.
"I-I'm sorry for going overboard Mr. Finn and Loki familia." Bell felt madly guilty. He hurt Loki familia's captain. Badly. He felt a hand on his hair, ruffling it, he looked up and saw Gareth and Loki. Smiling at him.
"It's ok. It's what Finn gets for planning it." Loki said trying to reassure him.
"You did fantastic as well! Nobody has made Finn that excited over a spar." Gareth laughed loudly after he said that. The others chuckled. Riveria however isn't in the mood for any of this.
"Bell Cranel." Riveria called to him in a stern voice making everyone stiff and worry for Bell. "You may not be in the familia yet however." She walked up to him, Bell was waiting for what she had to say, the others knowing Riveria very well closed their eyes. Not wanting to see the punishment he'll receive.
Riveria all of sudden started to pull Bell's ear.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ok! Ok! Ok! Ok! Ok! Ok! Ok! I won't do it again! I won't do it again! Please let it go please! Please please please!" Bell was pleading to Riveria.
This is the first time he ever showed emotion like this ever since.… back in Rain Valley. Whenever Aria would get onto him for risking his life just for stupid things she would say.
Once she let his ear go she sighed and did something that startled Bell to the core.…
.
.
.
Something he didn't expect
.
.
.
Something he hadn't felt in a while
.
.
.
The others slowly open their eyes to see why the pleading went quite only to see Riveria hugging him while rubbing the back of his head. Bell was blinking multiple times before he.… cried. Tears were rolling down on his face, but he wasn't crying or showing any emotion at all. Just letting the tears of sadness and deja vu roll down his face.
"W-Why are you h-hugging me?" Bell said in a distraught voice. He wanted to hug back but he wanted to know why she did it.
"(chuckles) Because you are in pain, so I'm comforting you."
"!"
.
.
.
.
"W-Why are you h-hugging me?"
A 4 year old Bell was crying profusely. This is the first time he has gotten a hug from the most kindest person in the world he has ever met.
Aria
"(chuckles) Because you are in pain, so I'm comforting you."
Bell started to cry more hiding his face in her shoulders.
"T-THANK YOU!!!"
That was the first time Bell felt comfort in his life
.
.
.
.
Bell feeling the deja vu kick in he started to shake. He didn't want to cry. He didn't want to, but this feeling is just to damn emotional for him. He hesitantly hugged Riveria back, hiding his face in her shoulder and muttered in a low voice.
"T-Thank you." Silently letting the tears go.
Riveria was able to hear it, smiled. Happy that he's ok.
"Soooo how is this going to work again?" Tiona
"(sighs) He will join the familia like any normal person would, but just won't have falna on him." Finn was getting tired of repeating himself.
"But how are we going to tell the others?" Tione quirked an eyebrow. Thinking that this will not work and it will only bring suspension to the familia.
"We will tell him he's a new familia member like we always do." Loki said with a shrug. A simple question answered.
"But what about the guild? Won't they know he doesn't have falna and that were not updating anything about him?" Lefiya asked the other question that can bring suspension to the familia.
"Don't worry on that. (raises hand) I'll deal with that tomorrow." Riveria said. She have a talk with a certain half elf advisor there.
"And I'll go with her to talk with Oranous, he'll be the one to take care of Bell's 'statues.'" Loki added. She already knows that Oranous will agree with her and let Bell join the familia without falna.
"So.… were just going to bring him in like that. No falna, nothing to update his statues, just let him in like that." Bete asked still confused about all of this.
"Yes. It'll be weird at first buutt we'll get used to it." Loki
"But.… how do we know he gets stronger?" Ais asked
"That's the reason why I'll have a talk with Oranous. He'll probably have something that we can work with here." Loki
"If not?" Gareth
"Then..… we'll just have to send him to the dungeon and see how far he can go." Loki said finally.
All of them seemed to agree with it. Since the dungeon besides sparing is the other way to judge what level he could be.
"Soooo how about it kid! Are you ready to join the familia!" Loki beamed a smile at Bell who has listened and watched the conversation go.
He hesitated first but then he saw Ais flash a small smile to him, then Tiona, Tione, then everyone in the room smiled at him. Bete only gave him a thumbs up.
'I guess this it.…… please wait Aria I'll save you and Ais soon!!' Bell clutched his hands finally made a decision and happy with it.
"Yes. Thank you for everything, I'll do my best to help this familia." He flashed a small smile of his.
This is the first steps of the legend.… Dragon Hero

'I need to know how he does it.… for you..… mom'

AN:
(sighs) Look.… no.… no Bell isn't a level 7. He's a level 6 IN his dragon rage. Look I can already see it coming!
"Oh why is he a level 6? Why is he so weak? Didn't he went through so much suffering just to get strong? I'm going to stop reading this because you did him dirty!"
BRRRUUUUUHHHHHHH!!!!!
I fucking said this before! In his normal state Bell is a level 5. In dragon rage he is a level 6. In his dragon form a LEVEL 7. Ok, calm the fuck down. Damn, making me want to break this computer.
Yes it's because of plot. Sorry. Sorry if the fight wasn't what you wanted nor if he wasn't the level you wanted ok. If your going to stop reading this because of that then bye I guess.
Plot, plot is the reason why he is weak sorry. I'm making him stronger as the story progresses. Especially when Jeanne comes to Orario. Yes you read that right. She'll come to Orario. But you'll see why and to be honest that probably isn't going to happen until we're WAAAAYYY far in the story. Probably when the story is around 50-55% in. And that's going to take a long time since I'm doing this my way and canon way.
Once again sorry if this isn't the way you wanted sorry. Now I really don't know what to say now since that angry rant took a lot out of me. If there is any grammar errors tell me and I'll fix it as fast as I can.
Leave down what you got to say for this chapter. Is it good? Bad? Horrible? Great?
See you guys next time and peace.
