Hey everyone.
So here we are, a big brawl that people have been waiting for. I do hope I do my best to bring in the fights, as this will be way different than what the Light Novels have done.
And of course, Bell's new magic will be introduced as well.
Hope you all enjoy it.

Chapter 5: Chaos in Melen
Bell looked over the telescope and saw the Loki familia were heading toward the pier. He then moved the telescope to the next location and saw the awaiting trap that Ishtar prepared. She noticed two Amazoness were planting at some areas for the Violas.
Tione arrived at the ship, while Tiona went to the cave.
"It's time."
Loki Familia was nearing the pier to help Tione. They had to be ready against this stronger familia.
Just as they were reaching the place, out came various Violas. "Ambush!"
Phrynne had a sadistic grin and turned to Haruhime "Do it."
She sighed and began the chant "Grow. That power and that vessel. Breadth of wealth and breadth of wishes. Until the bell tolls, bring forth glory and illusion. Grow. Confine divine offerings within this body. This golden light bestowed from above. Into the hammer and into the ground, may it bestow good fortune upon you. Uchide no Kozuchi!"
A great yellow glow went toward Phryne. The large toad amazoness felt her stats go up. She began to feel that power surge on her body, and felt a level up on herself.
"Yes…Yes…Yes!~"
As she finally felt ready to take out Ais, she noticed a small hooded person in front of them.
The others stared at this short person. He took something out and cracked a marble down, and it exploded with nothing but white smoke. Then more white smoke appeared, making everyone cough and stop from any attack. They felt cold, but nothing more.
The crowd of people were dispersed in chaos from the smoke. More and more appeared all over.
Phryne was looking around until she sensed someone trying to attack her from behind. She blocked it and noticed a familiar man. "You?!"
"Damn it, it was supposed to be a surprise back attack!" He was pushed back and landed on his feet. "Ready for round 2, bitch?"
"I will cut your legs and drag you back to my place!" She licked her lips
"You can try it, toad."
She charged right at Hoshana, and he blocked the move. She was surprised about this.
"My boss gave me a nice set of toys to test out. And it seems to work!" He pushed her back and went for a vertical slice. She blocked it, surprised how strong he was becoming.
The Loki familia have been trying to push forward and face some of the unknowing Ishtar and Kali familia. They tried to push through the white, near cold cloud. Ais and Bete were fighting through the enemy.
In the boat
Tione was on the boat and had a calm expression. She was laser focused on the woman in front of her.
"Ah, Tione, you finally arrived."
She said nothing.
"Silent….heh. Once I am done beating you up, I will make you watch what I will do to your precious Pallum."
Tione took out her weapon and had a furious look. "I will take you down, Argana."
Argana took out her weapons and had a sadistic smile. "Ready to die, Tione?"
"I doubt it."
Both charged at each other and their weapons clashed. Both were holding on to the attack, before Tione kicked her on the abdomen. Tione went toward Argana for a vertical attack, but the other Amazoness dodged the attack and punched her. A bit of blood was out and Argana smirked.
She took a lick of blood on her knuckles and felt herself grow in strength.
"And now, the fun….begins."
In a cave
Tiona stared at Bache. She threw her weapon on the side and put a cloth on each hand. Tiona placed her weapon on the side and stretched it a bit.
Kali was going to enjoy this fight as well.
Bache smirked "Man tumheim koi daya non showennga" (I will show you no mercy)
Tiona made a small hop and smirked "Chalo yah karte han, Bache!" (Let's do this, Bache!)
Both then got into fighting positions. Kali then said "Fight!"
Both girls charged at each other and both managed to hit each other's fist. Tiona recovered quickly and went for a roundhouse kick, but Bache stood back and she went for a punch on the side of her ribs.
Tiona winced and pushed her back.
The co-captain of Kali smirked as she saw the purple glow disappear on Tiona's rib.
"That's it, once I keep hitting you, you will fall on your knees, Tiona!" Bache thought as she immediately went for a flying punch.
In an alleyway
Aisha was carrying Haruhime out of the fight and trying to find a safe place, until things died down.
"Aisha…what is going on?"
"No idea. We will-" She stopped and saw a woman with a green cape. "Move out of the way."
"I was ordered to bring you to safety."
She scoffed "Doubt you are from Ishtar"
Ryuu kept herself calm. "Look, we just want to take you somewhere safe."
Aisha was looking annoyed and placed Haruhime to the side, and looked ready to fight. Ryuu sighed "Disappointing."
Before Aisha could do anything, she was hit with something on her neck. She pulled a small dart and began to feel her eyes getting heavy.
"We could have done this the easy way…."
Aisha then was on her knees and lost consciousness. Haruhime grew scared, until a young man with white hair and red eyes appeared in front of her. "Don't worry, she is asleep." He then looked at her neck and saw the lock. He stepped closer to her and she turned a bit red.
"Let me free you." He then was handed a pin by the person next to him. On the end of it was blood red and he inserted the pin on the lock and moved it a bit. He waited until he heard a click. The whole locket shattered and she was surprised at the outcome.
"I….I'm free?"
He smiled and nodded, "But you are not safe here, we will take you somewhere safe." He then carried her, making her face redder.
"Why am I being saved?"
She held on as they kept moving on.
Not far off, is a carriage. Ryuu placed Aisha inside, and went in as well. Haruhime was placed down.
"Go inside Haruhime."
She felt some hesitation going inside. But then a hand was on her shoulder "Please. This might be your chance to be free. I will help Aisha as well."
She nodded and went inside. Ryuu looked at the front of the carriage "Are you sure you don't need me?"
He smiled "Trust me. I already have an ace in the hole for this."
Out came Eli and smirked "Job's done, dad!"
"Good, get with Ryuu. Your job is to protect the girls inside, okay?"
He went to check on them and nodded. He went inside of the carriage.
She nodded and gave a small tug, allowing the horses to move. But then two Amazoness appeared.
Vesta sighed "Get out of the way."
One of the Amazoness stepped forward "Or what?"
She went to pull a powder on her right pocket. "You asked for it~" She blew it, until a large fiery pig-like creature appeared in front of them and charged at them. The girls were trying to find a way to stop the flames, but it got worse.
They felt the heat, but it wasn't hurting them. They blinked in surprise.
Once the pig was gone, the carriage and the others were gone. They looked around and couldn't find them.
Bell carried Vesta in a bridal manner and made it back to one of the buildings. He placed her down and she smiled.
Bell looked surprised. "Your powers seem to get better."
The goddess of fire nodded.
Bell then looked ahead of the chaos. "Alright, time for more chaos."
She smirked, "Are you doing this to impress Loki?"
He chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "Maybe…."
She nodded, "Let's do this."
They both went their separate route.
With Hoshana
Hoshana blocked another move and noticed the fog was slowly disappearing. He knew his time was almost up. "As much as I want to find a way to take you out, I will have to take my leave. Tata!" He took a stone out and it brightened around him, temporarily blinding the toad woman and anyone within a few feet around him.
"Damn you!"
Once it cleared out, he was gone and she immediately blocked a kick from a certain werewolf.
"Move out of the way, weakling!"
"Weakling?! I will show you who is a weakling!" He went for a strong punch, forcing her to get into the defensive. She twirled her ax, and he avoided the attack.
"I will crush you!" She went for a vertical attack, but was stopped by Bete's kick. "Huh?!"
"Like I said, you shit stain, I will kick your ass!" He kept increasing the strength of his weapon, forcing her to back off.
As they fought, some of the Loki Familia members noticed the Violas are shattered to pieces, due to being frozen. They pushed back harder to help Tione and Tiona.
With Riveria
Riveria was able to push through the iced Violas and amazoness. She noticed the boat was far away.
Finn took out another member of Kali's Familia member. He looked ahead and noticed the boat. "Riveria."
She turned to see Finn.
"Can you help me reach the boat?"
She nodded and raised her arms "Harbinger of the end, the white snow. Blow with the wind before the twilight. Closing light, the freezing land. Blizzard, the three severe winters my name is Alf. Wynn Fimbulvetr!"
With Bell
He kept running as fast as he could. He saw the alternative entrance to the cave, when he noticed two Amazoness guards were there. He didn't stop running; before those girls reacted, he gave one flying punch, knocking the girl out. He dodged a kick and she was hit hard with a roundhouse kick, knocking her out.
"There is that."
He kept running inside of the entrance, until he was hearing a heavy woman grunt. "Tiona."
He snuck quietly and noticed the amazoness were focused on the fight between both Tiona and Bache. Tiona was getting beat up badly, while he noticed Bache's hands were giving a bit of glow of purple.
"Her abilities are unique, yet deadly." he watched Tiona getting up. "Come on Tiona, you can do it!"
Bache is wondering how she is able to get up after every hit, and yet she knows her ability would have put her down already.
"Mujhe ashcharya ha ki ap abhi bhi kde han ।" (I am surprised you are still standing) Bache smirked "Agar ap niche pe jall to koi fark non padega ।!" (It won't matter if you are going to be put down!)
Tiona was trying to find a way to beat her, but knew she had to keep pushing more and more. She felt pain all over her body.
"I know I can beat her. I just know it!"
She was getting up, looking defiant. She needed to push, she needed something to beat her.
"Tiona!"
She turned to see the familiar white haired teen. "Argonaut?"
"Tiona, I know you can beat her! I believe in you! Push yourself, just as Argonaut pushed himself!"
She smiled and nodded. She went right after Bache, pushing herself more, punching and kicking, while Bache was blocking some of them.
"I don't understand how she is getting stronger all of a sudden…" Bache thought "It has to do with that White Haired boy. It has to be him!"
She stopped a punch, and then countered with one. However, she didn't expect Tiona to use her momentum and threw her on the ground. She was then being pummeled on top of her.
Bache then pushed her hard, sending the other amazoness flying. She landed on her feet. As the co-captain of the Kali familia got up, her eyes widened. Tiona had a visible fiery aura on her.
Kali was in surprise watching this. "What is going on?!"
Bell smirked, "Her ability is activated."
Tiona then had that smile she had. A smile that is with determination. Her ability was activating as she saw a kick coming in her way. She blocked it.
"Is bar non!"(Not this time!) She moved it and began to punch her across the face, and grabbed her on a clinch. She starts giving knee strikes, hitting Bache a few times.
The blonde haired woman tried blocking, but it was becoming harder. Each hit was more painful than the other. Her ability should have put Tiona down, but something changed. Bache then felt a forearm shot, then a knee strike on her stomach, taking the air out.
She then gave a roundhouse kick, making the blonde haired woman stumble. She is still standing but she is in a daze.
Tiona then gave a final forearm shot across the face of Bache, sending her flying and hitting the wall hard.
The short haired woman waited and noticed she was down. She heard a chant of words she understood. She sighed and knew they were praising her.
"Bravo, Tiona. Bravo. Now…" She had a sadistic smile "Finish her off."
Tiona looked at Bache and had a sad look. "No."
Kali was surprised to hear this "No?"
Bell went over to Tiona and smiled. She then continued "We are not in Telskyura. We are far away, where people could settle things by talking. I am also not part of your familia anymore, I am now part of the Loki familia Plus, I have friends that will stand by my side, like Argonaut here."
Kali was getting furious hearing this. This isn't what she wanted to hear about it. She snapped her fingers and a few amazoness, held Tiona down hard. She is trying to use her strength to push them out, but couldn't.
"If you refuse to play the game, then maybe your friend there will die…" She looked at Bache as she was opening her eyes. A brief red glow was on her eyes, as this caused Bache's eyes to dull out. She felt her body recover a bit.
Bell closed his eyes.
"Nin beleg gwador, natha- nin o orogon. Athan sen amar, eria athan." (1)
His eyes glowed bright, and he had a green aura around him. Bache then went right after Bell.
"Argonaut!"
Lefiya screamed "No!"
"Edhel Sarn!" (2)
Just as she was going to strike him, she missed him. This surprised everyone. Then Bache, felt a painful punch, taking the air out and one punch later, she was sent flying one last time. That knocked her out of the spell and herself out.
This caused the amazoness to be in disbelief. He didn't show a lot of strength from the last fight, and yet beat Bache in two moves.
Tiona was let go at that moment, and went to check up on him.
The moment she touched his arm, he punched her stomach and that took her out. Bell realized his mistake and the glow was gone.
"...Shit." his eyes rolled back and he was out.
Just then, they heard another fight breaking through, and they saw a dwarf tackling three amazoness like bowling pins. He blocked a kick and swung one of them and launched the woman into the other amazoness. More members of the Loki Familia arrived.
Lefiya was minorly disappointed that Ais didn't rescue her, but at least she knew she was safe. She went to check on Bell and checked on him. "Mind down."
"Wait, what happened?"
"That amazoness there" she pointed at the one that is down "somehow got up from the beating, and went after Mr. Cranel. Then he did his elf ability, I think, and was able to knock out a level 6 fighter. Then Tiona was free and checked up on him and I would assume he thought it was an enemy. And he knocked her out, before he himself was knocked out."
He blinked when hearing this and laughed "He surprised me, more and more!"
Lefiya sighed and went to heal Tiona first.
On the boat
Argana was panting, as did Tione.
"How could you still stand?!"
Tione smirked "I'm not some pushover anymore. I'm not someone that is weak and feeble anymore."
Just before they could continue a spear fell between them. Then Finn landed and he had a serious look. "It's over."
Argana was in disbelief that this pallum appeared and somehow made it far. "How?!"
He pointed at the ice bridge. "I had to thank one of the executives for helping me reach here and end this fight for good."
"You…end it?!" She began to laugh "A weak pallum like you stopping me?! I like to see you try!"
Finn knew he had to put her out of this. He closed his eyes "Magic Spear"
She grabbed a weapon.
"Penetrate my forehead."
She went right after him.
"Offering blood."
He opened his eyes and they were all red. "Hell Finnegas!"
He dodged the attack easily, and gave a powerful punch, sending her flying out of the boat and right at the sea. He then powered down his ability and sighed. He blinked and looked at Tione.
"Tione….get in one knee."
She nodded and did so. She then felt his hands on her cheek. "Tione….there is a reason why I asked you to leave….I can't lose another person that I consider someone close….the next time this happens, let me handle it…please."
Tione sighed and held his hands "I know, but this is something that I had to do, captain. I know I tend to fight on my own and rarely need help, but-"
"Tione, stop. Please, just consider if you are in trouble in anything, come to me and I will be there for you."
She smiled and she felt warmth being this close to him.
Once he pulled those hands away, he saw a new ice bridge being made. Both then left the place.
In the pier
Bete was getting pushed back and was getting annoyed.
"Let's face it, this fight is over wolf."
He looked up and noticed the full moon. He had a sadistic smile "I don't think so." He gave a loud roar and this stumbled her and the others.
He grew a little taller, his eyes look more feral and his teeth were sharper. He growled and went right at her. His boot was powering up.
"Eat this!"
A hard kick sent Phrynne flying, due to all of the charge up on the boot thanks to the magic that it was absorbing from the large woman.
Once he saw she was gone, the other Amazoness immediately retreated. This was one fight, they knew it was lost.
Ais then went toward the cave. "One of them told me that Tiona is in the cave."
He nodded and allowed her to go, while he looked around for any more trouble.
In the distance of all this fighting, a man with a fox mask saw it all play out.
"So much for Royman's plan. I will have to report back to the others about it." He then placed his telescope and headed to the regular path, not angry, not disappointed, just not surprised on it.
In the cave
Ais was giving a lap pillow on Bell, as he was still out cold. Bache barely got up and shook her head. She remembered how Kali used her hidden ability on her, and felt somewhat ashamed by it. She knew she lost the fight, but just doing that ability makes her feel wrong in various ways.
She went and noticed the white haired teen. She remembered how he knocked her out with two moves, that look he gave her, and how he wasn't afraid.
She desired him.
She went over until she saw Tiona was next to Ais and was somewhat nervous.
The large dwarf of a man noticed this and saw both Tiona and Bache, chatting in a language he was unfamiliar with. Both seem to be in deep discussion and then Tiona was surprised. Then she smiled and whispered to Ais' left right ear.
Gareth watched how Ais' face went a little red, and nodded in agreement. He shook his head. "Well kid, I wish you luck. Your hands are about to get full."
To be continued….
A/N: Well, didn't expect that huh?
I apologize for the delay. I had my reasons, with one of them changing the fight scenes to removing an idea I had.
I originally had the fox mask man being confronted by Aki, but I removed it. I will deal with it another time. I also had a scene where Ryuu would have been more involved in the fight, but felt that she would be used more during the Artemis storyline and needed her more or less just to escort Aisha and Haruhime. And lastly, I originally wasn't going to have Aisha being kidnapped and Haruhime just managed to avoid being 'taken' by Bell, but after mulling things over, I already have an idea for later.
So a number of changes and trying to translate Sindar to English. Had to use two glossaries in order to get the translation and such. It is a rough translation, but I did my best.
(1) My great brother, save me from a wicked person. Beyond this world, to rise beyond it.
(2) Elf Stone!
That's all I have, and thank you for reading it.
