122.) Beel. A Day With the Untold.

Omochi Ma… a powerful Gahwardian who serves as MorZick's left hand man. An equal to Demetrius Boolat, both being teachers for the most esteemed academy within the Clan's territory, Warren Warman's Academy. Though… one should know that Omochi Ma is quite the trickster when it comes to battle. One should also know that his real name is actually Loki Omochi Ma Kurjekson. So him being a trickster should make perfect sense to you readers as of now. He is equal in age with Demetrius, both being half a million years younger than MorZick. Though… that doesn't mean they're young by any means. MorZick himself is over one-million, five-hundred thousand years old.

Omochi ma was someone who was not born within one of the ten lead families for the clan. Instead, he was born to a tribe of Giants that raised their abnormally small child to be a kind hearted warrior. One who would achieve great things for the clan and its goals. And so he did, with his many years of living. He fought within the clan's armies, rose through the ranks with extreme speed. He captured criminals for his fellow soldiers and officers of the clan out of the kindness of his heart. Selfless in his acts to liberate the clan of its balance breaking anomalies. All while tagging along with Demetrius who was also a prodigy that quickly rose to stardom. Their linear, skyrocket boost to the top was almost like a main character from an Isekai that just got to their new world. Blessed with the strongest abilities that the world could offer. Such was their talent and tenacious nature.

With all that they've done, they now find themselves sitting next to the Chief of the Clan as his most trusted comrades. Currently, Omochi found himself in a sparring match against his best friend's own son, Shiishii, the second Grim Reaper. They were one of the many matches going on today, but theirs was easily the most anticipated amongst them all. The two now sat in combat with Shiishii using one of his five most prominent fighting styles amongst the many he has mastered and created. The fifth on the list of five, Shinigami no Kūken. It means Reaper's Void Fist and it'll be taking on Omochi's Way of Loki. A combat style devised by Omochi himself. It's centered around his trickery and unorthodox Southpaw style. It was high time we all got to witness what they're both made of! To see who will prevail in this marvelous sparring match.

Shiishii: "Omochi… allow me to show you one of Shiishii's famous five. The fifth best fighting style I've ever mastered, and it just so happens to be one I've created. It's known as Shinigami no Kūken, and I hope you're ready to lose to it."

Omochi Ma: "Mhmm… we'll see about that!" *PEW*

Shiishii: "Hm… " *Fwip*

Omochi quickly made his way towards Shiishii. Throwing a left hook with enough momentum to throttle him into a series of frontflips. This threw Shii off a bit, but he kept his guard up nonetheless. Omochi realized this and ended his fascinating flips with a mighty ax kick to the top of Shiishii's head. He blocked with an 'X' guard, but the attack went right through. As if Omochi himself was transparent. Shiishii was thrown off once more, dropping his guard this time around. Which allowed Omochi to land a harsh kick to the face with his left leg.

Shiishii: "Gaaah!!"

He was sent flying across the arena, going towards the edge with great speeds. He takes heed of this and places his right hand on the floor. Resulting in a rapid rebound to his feet, just before the edge of the arena no less. He looks up to see Omochi Ma running towards him. Smiling as he swipes his right arm down his own face. It acted as a cover which seems to cover the eyes of Shiishii and everyone present within the spectators' seats. It was only for half a second, but by that time… he had already made his way to Shiishii's personal space.

Omochi: "Oi… boy. You whipped out that style just to be pushed back like this?"

He spoke just as he threw yet another strike. A heavy, wide swung chop aimed for the neck was sent out. Shiishii lowered his entire body into the ground, hopping on all fours.

Shiishii: "That won't do…"

Omochi: "Huh?"

Shiishii: "Void."

Shiishii threw a jab that was completely devoid of any and all intent within. It didn't even have a projected strike path or muscle contortion to build up the power behind the strike. It was all null and Void within this new strike of Shii's.

Omochi: "Wha-" *SMASH*

He was throttled into the sky by this sharp jab thrown by Shiishii. Shiishii takes this opportunity to conjure up a bunch of Death particles. Condensing them into a ball and stretching that into a spear. Looking up at the floating Omochi, he threw the spear without an inch of hesitation. It rammed into Omochi head on, but there was no real reaction from Omochi when It did. He simply smiled at Shiishii as he looked down, poofing away along with the spear.

Shiishii: "A mere clone?"

Omochi: "Indeed. HYA!" *WOOSH*

Shiishii put his guard up once more in order to block the jab of Omochi. He used yet another tricky strike, throwing a bunch of faints that went right through Shiishii. A lot like earlier, but this time he threw in a mix of heavy jabs to fool Shii yet again. The heavy jabs kept swaying outwards to his left and right flanks until he inevitably opened his guard. Allowing Omochi to land another jab to his face.

Shiishii: "Doh!"

He fumbled back a few steps.

Another flurry followed just as he did, ones that repeatedly struck his chest. Pushing him back steadily just before throwing a heavy hook with his right fist. Shiishii recovered quickly enough to bring his guard up. But Omochi turned his arm into that of a squid's tentacle. Wrapping it around Shiishii's neck just after that.

Shiishii: "Damn… (is this the way of Loki!?)"

He is slammed into the floor, forcing several pieces of tile into the air. Shiishii grunts just a bit from the surprising amount of force put behind the impact. Omochi attempts to stomp Shiishii into the dirt, but a swift counter kick from Shiishii forces him back a few feet. Shiishii used a windmill spin to rise to his feet. Omochi brings his guard up once more, his mind quite confused by what was transpiring. Watching as Shiishii did nothing but stand in place while in his Shinigami no Kūken stance.

Omochi: (What is the boy up to?)

He thought to himself, making sure to keep his guard up just in case.

Shiishii: "Hey."

Omochi: "Hm? What is it?"

Shiishii: "You should know… my fist is completely void of distance too."

Omochi: "What!?"

Shiishii flashes in front of Omochi, smashing his right fist into his stomach before he could even react. Forced to lower his guard due to the pain, he was met with a barrage of strikes that landed with most of his upper body. Striking his face, both pectorals, his biceps, triceps, traps and even the solar plexus. Using a consecutive twenty strikes to push him to the edge of the ring.

Omochi: "Not so fast, Shiishii!"

Omochi began to block and dodge the combo which only prompted Shiishii to use a Void kick that blew Omochi to the other side of the arena. He was able to block and withstand the force which helped in his attempts to rebound. Once back on his feet, he smashes his hand into the floor and takes control of the tiles around him. Sending more than twenty flying at him. Shiishii uses a barrage of void jabs to blow them away. Answering back with another barrage of void strikes that were blown away by Omochi. He uses a similar kick to the last that Omochi sees coming. He gestures a similar blocking posture used to block the strike earlier. But it was met with nothing, he instead witnesses the skull of a Divine Sea Leviathan thrown his way.

Omochi: "Quite the trickster you are, young lord Shiishii."

Shiishii: "Hmph… Void Kick's: Death Summons; Undead Leviathan. My own personal trick I devised when I created this style. There isn't a martial arts style amongst my top twenty that doesn't have at least five Death techniques used in combination with them."

He smiles sinisterly as he watches the rest of his leviathan form out of thin air. Pushing Omochi into the ground, even with his noble attempts to push the undead beast back.

Omochi: "I prefer not to use my element, but at your current level. You aren't the type I should be holding back against. So… Here goes the big guns, Absolute Zero."

Shiishii: "Oh?"

He continues to smile with a huge helping of confidence within.

Omochi let out a breath so cold, the beast before him became solid ice before a second could go by. Omochi Ma smashes the beast into dust and causes a false snowfall within the arena. He and Shiishii smile at one another as they prepare for their next attacks. Causing quite the uproar within the arena. Whilst their match continues, we take a journey well beyond the domain of Quadrant I within the first Colossaverse. Traveling to the outskirts of this great verse and into the void where universes lay barren of any sentient life outside of plants and amoeba. It was here that we could find at least one universe that was teeming with life. Malicious, sinister life that wished for the broken balance of our great verse. And for a new era of balance to be awoken, a TRUE era of balance. One Untold to the masses of the omniverse.

We travel to the center of that great universe where a quadruple galaxy sized fortress could be found. One that floats throughout their known cosmos as ira inhabitants devise new insidious plots with the purpose of relinquishing a mighty prize from their foes. Yes, we find ourselves back within the Untold TRUTH base, yet another headquarters that doesn't know how to sit still. It was here that we could see a light traveling towards this great structure at high speeds. This light entered without any issues whatsoever. Finding themselves flashing through the halls and corridors of the fortress until they were in front of a grand door.

???: "Bastards knew I was coming here. Should've just left the door open, the wankahs."

The figure wore a navy blue War general's coat that hung down to the lower end of their calves. Their grey slacks were perfectly creased and pressed while their glossy, black loafers reflected only the finest of dazzling light. The four golden buttons that sat on the upper, front side of both pant legs went perfectly with the golden trim of the coat. It's tassels hung perfectly from the shoulders and chest. Their black gloves matched the loafers, adjusting their golden framed glasses as they smiled within the dark. Their short, tapered, messy white hair danced as their essence flared up.

???: "Guess I should knock."

The young man bashed his hand on the door four times before giving it a rest. Alerting those inside to come and open up. They could hear voices coming from the other side, telling one another to open the door and see who it was.

???: "Yeah, yeah… I can already tell it's Beel from the feel of this putrid essence."

Beel: (PUTRID!?)

The great, golden doors that were riddled with rune markings from many clans opened up. Revealing four individuals wearing matching attire to his own. It was none other than XigXahm, who sported a hood that covered his face as always. Miitto, Clarissa and of course… Jollister. All were sitting idly by, awaiting some good news from their comrade.

Beel: "Hello to you all. Lord XigXahm… *Bow* I've come to bear the information you all sought to acquire."

XigXahm: "And?"

Jollister: "Was the Teller lying to us or are there really a whole other set of Keys?"

Beel: "It would seem the Teller tells no lies in his words. I met with someone from a mysterious background. But they showed me a recording of a key with similar markings to the ones we wish to acquire. One that sat within a gigantic temple surrounded by Celestials. Tough to get to it would seem."

Clarissa: "There is no need to get to it right now. Only that they actually do exist. Good work Beel."

Beel: "Mhm…"

He stares at Clarissa with contempt.

Clarissa: "Is there something wrong- eh… Nevermind, Beel. Come at me whenever, it would seem you're going to keep trying to get your revenge."

Miitto: "Oh great prono, not again with this. She's too much for you, bruv."

Beel: "I've been training me arse off. I won't be lettin' er have her way this time around, mate." *PEW*

Clarissa: "Hmph, I'll play along and match his level. I want to show off something I learned after returning to Gahwardia. It was after my fight with Mal, The Teller that I picked up this new fighting style by training Shiishii and Jollister. Observe Xiggy."

XigXahm: "It'd be an honor to see something the mighty Shiishii has devised with you. It excites me so." *snicker*

Beel dashes at Clarissa who enters quite the peculiar stance. A fighting style she and Shiishii came up with alongside Jollister. All three have pride held within this style as they are all responsible for it existing in today's age. The style was known as…

Jollister: "Hmph, So you're going with Tōmeina sora no te, eh? Nice!" *Chuckle*

XigXahm: (Tōmeina sora no te? Transparent Empty hand. Well that just makes me think of a style bound to use a slew of faints and reversals. Setting up the most heinous strike paths with effortless counters that project no strike path. Just an instant impact from the moment it's released!) "Show me your stuff then, Lady Clarissa." *Grin*

Beel's superman punch is brushed to the side by the afterimage of Clarissa's left arm. Her actual left palm being pressed onto his chest. It blew him away, but he was able to instantly rebound for a counter strike. His arms being rays of light that waved with little to no projection to their path of motion. Even then, his strikes were met with afterimages of her right arm. Whilst the real one utilized its fingertips, landing an uppercut-like strike that pushed his head upwards. Allowing her right palm to be placed on his chest, blowing him away once more.

Beel: "GAH!!"

Clarissa: "Now then… XigXahm, your breakdown of this fighting style was very accurate. But that's only for the defensive portion. You've no idea of the OFFENSE!" *pew*

XigXahm: "Hm!?"

Miitto: "The offensive portion?"

Jollister: "Oh… here it comes."

Clarissa leapt forward and threw a leaping chop kick that connected with Beel's guard. But that was false, what truly connected with his guard was the force wave emitted from her foot. Beel was able to bring his guard up at the very last second before getting sent into the wall, nearest to the entrance/exit door. His body slammed against the wall and he bounced off, bringing him to his knees briefly as he hit the floor.

Clarissa: "Impressive, you actually blocked that blinding kick in time. Good work on improving so much in this last year."

She walked over to Beel and reached out her hand.

Beel: "Heh, you applaud me too loudly, Milady. Regardless, thank you very much." *CLAP*

He grasped her hand and was pulled to his feet.

It was then that Clarissa gave him a kiss on the forehead to help heal the bruises she gave him. Bruises she knew he couldn't pretend as though he didn't feel, even if she so much as even nudged him. He could only blush, trying his best to thank her whilst being flustered heavily. Everyone enjoys their good laugh, watching as he backs up ever so slowly, rubbing the back of his head. Clarissa simply smiled at him, blowing another kiss his way with her essence. It smooches him on the lips, which leaves his entire body red in color. He blew steem from his ears and fell to the floor.

Miitto: "Sheesh man, we've all received a kiss on the forehead already. Being a child by choice has its disadvantages I see. You're still flustered around beautiful goddesses. Hehahahahaaa!"

Jollister: "Egad mayne. Get a grip, we got a full day's work ahead of us. It's high time we assigned our commanders some damn missions."

Everyone in the room nodded their heads, including Beel who had suddenly risen to his feet. His flustered nature was completely gone now, bringing back the strategic young lad they know and rely on.

Beel: "I'm guessing I'll be the only one NOT giving out missions, Xahm my pal."

XigXahm: "That is correct my boy. I have something special to assign to you and your commanders. As for Clarissa and Jollister, focus your efforts on the Construction verse. That's your family over there so use it to your advantage. Plus… have either of you visited Lady Shiitania since the incident?"

Beel: "Right, and yeah… even my despicable ass visits the Beel house in the hidden realm every now and again."

Miitto: "I went home with me sis just last week, you guys are slippin'."

Jollister: "The fuck!? We haven't even answered yet, mayne!"

Clarissa: "Eh… They're right though, we haven't gone to see her. So it's best we go make a visit with our second in command. Let's go and get them ready while we get the others to focus on the whereabouts of the members of Le Destrucìon."

Jollister: "Right."

XigXahm: "Good, now that leaves you, Miito. I need you to take Jujoku Wukong and Joi Termiel with you on a scouting mission. It's to locate that bastard, Mal The Teller. Make sure you each take at last three of your commanders along with you, understood?"

Miitto: "Done and done."

XigXahm: "Good, head out immediately. "

Everyone: "Right!"

Everyone flashes out of the room and to their private quarters amongst the Untold Universe. Addressing their men on what it is they'll be doing as they move forward with their goals. Miitto went to grab his fellow captains first, informing them of what their mission would be and how to go about it.

Joi: "Hmph, sounds awfully good to me. Mal McDave, eh? The same guy that could take on Clarissa and walk away with little damage."

Jujoku: "This excites me heavily, Miitto. I say we get our commanders together and get the hell out of here as soon as possible!" *Crack* *Krunch*

Jujoku cracked his knuckles in both hands while smiling at Miitto.

Miitto: "Excited, are we? Fine, let's move to our private quarters and get our guys ready. We'll meet at the warp gate to the south, coo?"

Joi: "Splendid, wonderfully Splendid. I'll see you guys there, ta~ta now." *Vwimp*

Jujoku: "Gotcha, see you there, brother." *Vwimp*

Miitto: "Hmph." *PEW*

All three flew to their private quarters to grab their necessary commanders for this most exciting mission. While they were doing that, Jollister had already grabbed Teipha Armadean, she was princess to the Armadean tribe within Gahwardia. Her father was currently Imprisoned within Niflheim, the lowest floor no less. Yes, her father was that same legendary man, Freyr Armadean. She adored him and his achievements, so much so that she has a matching face tattoo. The same fangs that Freyr and Baldur had on their faces. She and Jollister met up with Clarissa and her second-in-command. It was their first time meeting them so introductions were needed.

Clarissa: "Hello you two, it's been quite some time Teipha, darling. I'd like you both to meet my daughter, Flourescent Gna Senkozen. She is the second Valkyrie to ever exist between the two Clans, Gaia Minettía and Gahwardia… Freya being the first. That's your aunt, right Teipha?"

Teipha: "Indeed it is, she trained me to become a Valkyrie someday. But it's a pleasure to meet you Gna, welcome to the TRUTH."

Jollister: "Little cousin, I'm surprised to see you helping your moms out like this, mayne." *Tap*

He bumps fists with Gna as they Grin at one another. Gna herself was like a dark skinned copy of her ma. It was quite the sight to see honestly.

Gna: "Nice to meet you, Teipha. And Jolli, Jolli, Jolli 'ol Jollister. You heard what ma said during that meetin' with Xebeel. So you should know why I came here, plus we agreed to keep my three triplet sisters out of it. The Gaia's of the Special Elements."

Jollister: "Y-You had more kids?"

Clarissa: "Yeah, that bum has a way with words. And I was full of lust at the time."

Gna: "Ah, stop mom. We both know you seduced him this time, no need to tell tall tales lassy."

Clarissa: "Mhm…" *Smack*

Gna: "Ow, me head."

Teipha: "Hahahaaa. I can see why the four of us are perfect for this. And why Uriyah and the others were better off going to locate the Keys."

Clarissa: "Indeed, I got my guys joining them on that."

Jollister: "Perfect, then we're all set to head out. Let's go see ma dukes, mayne!"

Clarissa: "Wait… we can't go there wearing these Untold Coats. We'll need to switch to our respective royal garbs. Shiitania won't deem us battle worthy if we do this. We need to be diplomatic with every visit to her esteemed clan. Understood?"

All three: "Right!"

They dash off towards the warp gate located in the north. Whilst they cast off, Beel grabs his five commanders so that they may be informed of their mission. A mission directly from XigXahm himself.

Beel: "Christian(58), Noel(60), Lancelin(65), Elizabeth(72) and Morris(55). My five commanders, recruited directly from the house of Beel. Let us go and see what it is XigXahm has for us. And I thank the five of you for dawning your matching Untold coats and suits. We all look quite spiffy.

Elizabeth: "Hmph, yes yes, my nephew. Let us get a move on then, I'm already tempered enough that we're doing what we're doing. My elder sister can never catch wind of this."

Beel: "I'd usually bash you verbally for that, but I'll have to admit that you're right. I fear my mother greatly, she is the second most powerful member of the current council after all."

Lancelin: "Then it's best we go about our missions with extreme caution. Like the assassins of Lord Zigorim's corps."

He fiddles with his long, white braid. It was connected to his perfectly tied ponytail. While his two long bangs danced across his face. Swinging to and fraught

Beel: "Mhm… indeed we shall. I'd hate to catch the attention of the Grand Council before we reach our greatest goal!"

Everyone: "RIGHT!"

Beel and his group of commanders travel to the headquarters to meet with ZigXahm. They dashed through the fortress just as Beel did earlier on. Knocking on the golden doors as quickly as possible. They open once more to reveal XigXahm staring out of the window as per usual.

Elizabeth: "XigXahm, Deary."

XigXahm: "Hello Lady Elizabeth, you look ravishing as always."

Elizabeth: "Ha, you spoil me with your compliments, good sir."

She flips her long white hair to the side. It hung all the way down to her butt, with a long bang sitting over her right eye. Covering it completely, just the way she liked it. And though she was nearly a million years of age, she looked no older than twenty five in appearance. Her blue sparkling eyes dazzle in the light. Her pale skin glistened like crystals when the light hit it. As was the complexion of those within the House of Beel.

Beel: "What was the mission you had for us, XigXahm?"

XigXahm: "Hmph. *Grin* I need you all to anchor yourselves to the light clan. I've seen a vision of that tenacious bastard, Delio-Dant. He will be a force that can topple you all if you allow him to go on as he pleases."

Morris: "Mrrhm."

Beel: "Ah…"

Beel took on a nonchalant look. As if he had no worries once he heard this news.

XigXahm: "You do understand what must be done, don't you Beel?"

Beel: "The leader of the Rebellion shall fall upon our next visit there."

XigXahm: "Good, get it done then. That'll be all I have for you all."

Beel: "Alright then, we'll be off, mate. High time we perform a complete and hostile takeover of our clan you guys. Tally-ho then!" *VWIMP*

Elizabeth: "Oh, how lovely. *VWIMP*

Morris: "Mhm." *VWIMP*

Christian: "Hehe… how fun." *VWIMP*

Noel: "A lady such as myself hasn't been home in eons. How lovely indeed." *Vwimp*

Lancelin: "Later, XigXahm sir." *VWIMP*

XigXahm: "Hmph, later. (They had better bring in some success.) Delio-Dant is not the only threat there. There are others that weren't exterminated early on… Tch!"

Beel and the others make their way to the esteemed Light Clan, Luminaria. There we could find the likes of someone quite familiar within one of the three royal houses. A man whose tenacity and prowess has built great results for the rebellion's cause. The best friend to the now corrupted King William. The eldest Son to the house of Murdicc, our fabled light clansmen. Maliik Murdicc.

Maliik: "Mhm… I sense a dark cloud coming over us. One that makes what we've gone through so far look like nothing more than a kitten scratch."

Beeso: "No… not again."

Dwayne: "So be it… we'll crush them as we always do!"

Queen Nagita: "Correct my son. We'll crush them all and bring order back to Luminaria! That is my grand Decree!!"

Maliik: "Heh, damn right mother!"

Dwayne: "Hmph!" *Grin*

Beeso: "Mrrhm… well if we must, then let us crush those that hold back our home. And bring back the prosperity it once had before I was born. I wish to experience that, fam!"

Nagita: "Lovely, just lovely my son. And so we shall."

Maliik: "Indeed, But y'all should get to the meeting, mother and I have some business to attend to. I'll catch up!"

Dwayne and Beeso: "RIGHT!"

Beel: "Hmm hm. The Doom you all have fought against is now upon you!"

Beel and his Commanders are on their way to take down Dante himself. The great lead of the Rebellion and close friend to Shiishii. We move to the Light Clan in what could be an all out war!

Next Chapter: Dante and The Rebillion.
