The Trickster's Loss

Suffice it to say, the Celestial Trickster was in no condition or in no way able to defeat Peppers. He was pulled out of the dungeon instance in the aftermath and found that he was in a splendid interior. Simple but posh enough to show the grandeur of the huge hall. 

As he turned around to see and understand what was happening, he found out that the remaining Dashavatara were sitting around him as if waiting for him to come back to his senses. Not only that, he also noticed the enemy's Rifle Mages were all pointing their guns at him, waiting for him to make a wrong move so that they could scratch that itch to make sure he bites a bullet down. 

However, their patience and tolerance were wearing thin especially for a trickster like him. Perhaps, they saw something in him that was similar to Kraft and wanted to take subconsciously wanted to take care of Krishna? A twisted view but no one truly knows.
