Aiz was packing her gear along with Tiona. Their new Familia Captain has inscructed them to assist on the Expedition. The pair were Level 5. The same as Anya, Hildr and Alfrigga. Thus, Riveria was put in charge being Level 6. While, Alfrigga and Hildr would stay behind with Tione and Ottaria.
The amount of Level 3 and 4s would make up the rear of the party. While, the Level 1s and 2s would be in the middle as Supporters.
Aiz and Tiona soon made it out in the Folkvangr yard. Bell and Lily walked up to Aiz. Lily's pack was much bigger than Bell's.
This would be Bell's first time in the Dungeon as a Supporter. Anna, Elfy and Cassandra soon walked up joining them.
A multitude of Level 1s and 2s were staying behind with Ottaria. The Captain didn't want to leave Folkvangr unattended in case Ishtar Familia decided to pull a dumb stunt.
Hörn/Syr smiled as she and Anya walked up to Aiz. Riveria Ljos Alf made an announcement to the group, "Alright, for the first leg of the trip. We're going to take care of Goliath. Thus, letting some Level 2s and 3s get some experience. Level 1s will be handling the first 5 floors."

Once the Expedition reached the 10th floor Bell was really allowed to let loose. He used Sýrgiva to disarm several Orcs of their limbs. While, Elfy and Lily let loose with Magic and Crossbow bolts.

On the 18th Floor in the Dungeon was Mikoto. She pulled on a poorly made sled. Two people who were badly wounded. Her Captain, Ouka, and the lover of her God, Asuka. Their wounds were bound and bandaged.
Chigusa looked at the ceiling to see Goliath asleep. Mikoto groaned as she pulled on the ropes. They left their supplies on the 12th floor. Along with a personal item Mikoto thought would be important if found.
The ceiling above her began to open and the doors close. The light from Mikoto and Chigusa's eyes vanished, replaced by fear.

On the 12th floor Bell dispatched the head of an Infant Dragon. He noticed a lot of magic stones just laying all about. Something didn't feel right.
Riveria thrust out her staff at an Irregular monster. The very mist itself wrapped a 'hand' around Bell's wrist. Bell tried to attack it only to see his weapon went right through the mist.
Riveria unleashed a magic after silently chanting, "Wynn Fimblitz!"
The body of the Strangling Mist became frozen. Bell felt the hand let out.
Bell smashed in the ice sculpture to see magic stone sand fall onto the ground.
Riveria called out to the rest of the party, "Strangling Mist. An Irregular on the 12th floor. Capable of only being killed or immobilized by magic."
Bell moved into position so he could chant until he tripped over something. It was some discarded supplies and a letter.
Bell recognized the handwriting and ask Hörn/Syr, "Can you cover me?"
Hörn/Syr nodded as he opened the letter, "To whom it may concern. This is possibly the last will and testimony of Mikoto Yamato. The supplies belong to whoever found it. We are going to try and make it to the safe point. Two of our members are too wounded to go back without proper recuperation. We're going to use the holes to try and make it there before Goliath awakens. If I do not make it. Please, tell Bell Cranel of Freya Familia-"
Bell shouted over his shoulder dropping his supporter pack, "I'm going on ahead. A Familia is currently fighting Goliath!"
Riveria Ljos Alf grimaced as the boy already began to book it. She was the commander and already she had one breaking ranks. She sighed feeling a headache coming on, "Aiz, Anya, Syr And Hedin go after him."
Aiz and Anya dashed after him as Hörn/Syr began to run as well. The three were followed by Hedin.
Bell eventually got passed by the Level 4s and 5s. With Anya deciding to take command being the senior of the group, "Bell-meow, I'm the senoir mekay! Support mew-us, we got Goliath."
Bell nodded as he fought alongside Hedin. Taking out Hellhounds and other monsters. Syr let fly dozens of feathers from her magic item cloak, which turned into daggers. Her precision shattered the magic stones of many monsters. Soon the grou pool would arrive to the 17th floor.

When they arrived a purple light was illuminating the 17th Floor. Bell saw Mikoto using a very dangerous magic that looked to be immobilizing Goliath. Mikoto was just milimeters away from being grabbed by the Monster Rex. If not for her immobilizing magic, she would most likely be dead.
Aiz and Anya went at Goliath backed by Syr. Hedin and Bell secured the wounded members of the Takemikazuchi Familia.
Mikoto lost her Magic as she fell back. Bell sprinted for her and caught her. She looked up at him and said with eyes welling up in tears, "Be-Bell, please don't leave me again."
Bell hugged her tightly as he pulled her away from the battle. The shield on his back protected them.

On the 18th floor Bell was felling trees. Hedin was preparing a shelter for the wounded Familia. Aiz wanted to help Bell, but Syr insisted that Bell needed to learn his lesson. That breaking off without orders is wrong and dangerous.
Anya and Syr were tending to the wounded of the Takemikazuchi Familia. Mikoto had her arm in a sling and was gathering herbs.
Aiz in the meantime was eliminating monsters that were sneaking up from the 19th floor. She would be selling the Goliath Tooth to Riveria the Adventurers Town in the morning. They would need the valis to procure Potions for their guests. And food was in need, with the rest of the Familia going to join them later.
AN: Going to do weird twist and turn in the upcoming chapters. One that will help resolve Aiz's hatred for Monsters. Also her ability to Swim.
Also, going to make another "Story", thats more a collection of Status for the characters. In case y'all want to keep up with who has what ability.
