Chapter 51
-----
Sylphiel ran out of the house after what she heard from the mouth of Valgarv himself, with tears running out of her eyes. She could not believe that Valgarv was wiling to kill Lina so that SYlphiel could have Gourry, it made Sylphiel feel so bad inside, how can she ever be happy if she knows that a friend of hers was murdered because of her. Her heart is beaked into a million pieces when she heard Valgarv's intentions, he hurt her in a very intentional way and he did saw it.
Little did Sylphiel and Valgarv knew that Amelia and Nehsziriah were snooping on Val and Sylphiel's conversation, they heard every little thing, and they even managed to hear Sylphiel's sobs.
"Did you hear that?" Amelia asked in an amazed tone.
Nehsziriah nodded. "Yeah, Valgarv really wanted to kill Lina."
"It's not that, I was talking about how Valgarv fell in love with Sylphiel."
Nehsziriah sweat drooped. "Aren't you concern for Lina's safety?"
"Don't worry, Lina is a very strong girl, she'll recuperate fast and will climb the mountain again." Amelia assured. "But now I'm starting to understand why Valgarv changed so much."
"You mean he was more wack then what he was today?" Nehsziriah asked sarcastically.
"He was a million times more insane than what he was today." Amelia replied. "And today he wasn't dominated by his hatred and fury; he was completely in control and calm. It was defiantly Sylphiel who made him see the light."
"See the light? He tried to kill Lina!"
"Maybe Sylphiel can persuade him to change his ways."
"So you're using Sylphiel to get Val to our side?"
"I didn't say that! I'm using anyone, but we really need his help to fight The Master. Valgarv seems to know a lot about the organization and he'll defiantly be a big aid to us just like Zelgadiss said. Besides, maybe this can change Valgarv's ways."
Nehsziriah backed away when Amelia mentioned the Master, she could feel fear in Amelia's voice. "Amelia….just how strong is the Master guy?"
"Terribly powerful, and I am afraid that he became more powerful when he obtained Lina's necklace. All the people that we fought are all fighters that work for him, so far he's been testing us, but when the testing is done he'll surly come to kill us. But what I believe is that The Master didn't use all the recourses he possesses."
Nehsziriah gulped. "Ok……let's play matchmaking with those two."
-------
Valgarv has remained sited in his bed with his hands holding his head, he's still very frustrated from his conversation with Sylphiel, and how does she manage to make a mess to his mind? He hates to see her so sad and she did all this just for her, why did she acted like I did something terrible to her? "I don't understand that woman…"
------
Sylphiel continues to run with no direction, she ran so far that she ends up in the woods but ended up stopping when she felt her legs to tire from all this running, her heart still devastated from what she just suffer. Valgarv might be a cold, active and distant man but there was still a good side in him that was shelled in that coldness, she saw that when he saved her from many troubles, even from that punk Skinner. Gradually Sylphiel became to feel quite thatch to Valgarv , that is why is very hard for Sylphiel to accept that evilness from him, she simply refuses to. "Mr. Valgarv……why…."
Suddenly a beam of light hits Sylphiel in the face, giving her a temporary blindness. "Who, who is there?"
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the little viper from the other day." The voice said very sinisterly.
Sylphiel gasped when she recognised the guy. "S-Skinner?" he was ridding on his motorcycle with the high beams on.
"That's right baby. And what a coincidence to see you here, I've been waiting for a chance to get you but that weird green haired was always there playing as your bodyguard. But now that you are alone I'm going to start what I was going to start on that day." Skinner said as he licked his mouth.
Sylphiel trembled but started to run again. Skinner rides after her with a chain in his hand.
"Come here baby! This time we are going to have a heck of a time!!" Skinner yelled manically as he continues to ride after Sylphiel.
"Help me, please someone help me!!!" Sylphiel cried.
--------
"Sylphiel?" Valgarv got up to his feet with a worry look; it is like his instincts are alerting him that Sylphiel is in danger. It could be just paranoia but he didn't want to risk it.
Valgarv opens up the windows, summons up his black wings and flies away in search for Sylphiel.
-------
"Please, leave me alone!" Sylphiel begged as she continues to run away from Skinner, but it is very hard for her to run the middle of the woods with clouds covering the sky, she hardly knows where to go.
"Come here bay! We are going to have a blast!" Skinner throws his chain at Sylphiel's legs, trapping her down.
"No, no!" Sylphiel cried as she tries to remove the chains from her legs but they are very well locked.
Skinner takes his time to get out of his bike and walking to Sylphiel with a knife on his hand.
Sylphiel tries to crawl away from Skinner but he grabs Sylphiel by her neck, lifts her up and pushes her against a tree.
"Now my dear, lets have some fun." Skinner presses his knife to Sylphiel's shirt.
"No, no, PLEASE!!!!" Sylphiel cried.
In that moment someone grabs Skinner from his shoulder and throws him to his bike. "Hey what the f……" Skinner got all pale when he saw Valgarv again, this time with dark wings. "Y-y-you?"
"I warn you with most severe intention that I would eradicate you if you ever come close to her." Valgarv said with a furious voice as he walks closely to Skinner.
Skinner immediately got up to his bike and turns on his high beams, blinding Valgarv temporarily, Skinner took that chance to run away.
"Don't you dare run away from me!!!" Valgarv roared, but then he remembered Sylphiel and runs to her. "Are you alright, woman?" he asked as he knells down to her and removes the chain from her legs.
Sylphiel looks up at Valgarv with tears running down her cheeks, she is much distressed for what was about to happen to her. "Mr. Valgarv……he was going to, he was going to……"
Valgarv rests her head in his chest. "Cry all you want Sylphiel….let it all out……"
Sylphiel cried all her emotions out, releasing all the terror she suffered in these last minutes, Valgav wrapped his arms around Sylphiel, trying to comfort her as best as he could.
"He won't harm you ever again, I promise you." Valgarv said very gently.
Both of them remain in their spot for a few minutes, even with the rains starting to fall down from the sky, but Valgarv used his wings as an umbrella to cover himself and Sylphiel, hugging her tightly as he did.
"Oh Mr. Valgarv….I feel so safe in your arms…." Sylphiel said softly.
"Just Valgarv woman, just Valgarv." Valgarv replied in the same soft voice.
-------
It's been almost an hour since Sylphiel ran away and every one in the house is starting to get worry for her, with the rain getting more violent is not relaxing them one bit.
"Where could Sylphiel be? She's been gone almost an hour." Lina said with a worry tone, she's been resting on the sofa ever since her last brawl with Valgarv.
"We should go find her." Gourry suggested. "I don't like the way the storm is shaping."
"Especially with those Jatkins out there." Zelgadiss added. "We better go find her."
"I'll go with you guys." Lina was about ready to get out of the sofa but Gourry stop her.
"No Lina, you are in no condition right about now. Zel and I will find her."
Just when Zelgadiss and Gourry were about to open the door a knock is heard. Immediately Zel open up the door to see Valgarv caring Sylphiel in his arms.
"Sylphiel? What happen to her?" Gourry asked in a worry tone.
Valgarv doesn't, he simply enters the house and carries Sylphiel to her room.
------
After Valgarv rested Sylphiel in her room he walks down the stairs where Lina, Gourry, Amelia, Naga, Zelgadiss and Nehsziriah were waiting for him. "What do you people want?"
"What happen to Sylphiel?" Gourry repeated.
"A punk named Skinner, he tried to harm Sylphiel. She is still very disturbed for what happen to her so don't disturb her."
"Skinner?" Nehsziriah repeated. "He's one of the Jatkins Brothers, the skinny cowardly one."
"Those aberrant have gone too far! We must teach them a lesson! I say we go down town and we kick their butts!" Amelia suggested.
"But Amelia, what about the don't-get-to-many-attention plan?" Zel asked.
"Who care about the plan? Our friend was almost maltreated!" Amelia snapped.
"It is still a hard storm out there, so I say we wait until tomorrow." Naga suggested.
"I guess we don't have choice then." Lina said then she and the others turn their looks back to Valgarv. "And what about you?"
"I know what you people are asking me! I know that at this point, The Master is my genuine enemy and I must deal with him, so very well I will assist you on your little battle. But consider this, this is nothing more than a provisional union, once this is over I will eradicate every last one of you!" Valgarv said, and then passed by them; no one said a word until Valgarv was out of side, they just wonder what kind of aide Valgarv can be for them.
"I'm staring to think that this is not a very good idea." Zelgadiss said.
"Hey! It was your idea!" Lina remembered.
------
The entire day passed by, with no one even daring to mention about what happen Sylphiel, still every one is determinate to give the Jatkins their rightful punishment.
There were still some rooms that were not cleaned up yet so they will have to share rooms. Amelia, Naga and Zelgadiss remain in Nehsziriah room and Lina and Gourry will stay in Amy's room.
Lina hasn't gone to bed yet, she is still lost in her thoughts. She is more than ready to punish but she is still thinking about The Master, she wonders who that man is. He uses the same techniques she uses and uses them in a much sophisticated and superior way than her, it's like he always knew how to use them, but the most bizarre scene was when The Master stole her necklace and ate it he transformed into another person, she doesn't know who is this man or why he wants to kill them all but she and the others refuse to go down. Still a little information about their enemies is a very vital assistance right about now. None the less Lina has the support of the two Seilune sisters, the intelligence of Zelgadiss and Gourry's skill, elements that will be necessary for when the time comes, and now she even has the assistance from Valgarv but how long can she trust him? Valgarv is like a shark that smells blood in the water, he might come after her blood at anytime, but right now his only purpose is to defeat The Master.
Lina then shakes her head, it is ridiculous worrying about the future, she should be more consider about the present, her current time, and right now she just wants to go to sleep.
Lina walks up the stairs and gets into Gourry's room and finds him putting his sister to sleep, she watches him cuddling Amy to sleep and giving her a kiss on her forehead. Lina smiles at the scene, Gourry will be a fine father one day for sure.
"Oh Lina, there you are." Gourry said when he noticed Lina at the door.
"Yeah, I was just out for a moment." Lina said as she entered into the room.
"Are you sure you're alright Lina?" Gourry asked in a worry tone. "You've been in a hardcore fight with Valgarv just when you were not recuperated from your fight with Rezo."
Lina did not responded, she can not believe that he's worry more about her then with himself, he almost lost his arm from our fight with Rezo and he's more worry about others, Lina is not use to have some one who shows this much care like Gourry does. "Yeah I'm sure." She responded as she lies down near Amy's bed, because that is the only bed in the room.
"What? Lina why don't you take the bed like yesterday?"
"You can have the bed today Gourry, you made me feel bad last night when you slept on the floor."
"Alright then." Gourry then lies down on the ground right next to Lina.
"Huh?" Lina looks back to see Gourry resting next to her. "What are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping in the bed?"
"I'm not the kind of man to sleep in the bed while there's a lady sleeping on floor." Gourry responded with a soft smile.
Lina blushed hard with that response. "No Gourry, really, you don't need to……" Lina could not say anything more because Gourry has already fallen asleep. "I don't believe it, he's a real fast sleeper."
Lina didn't bother to say anything more and lies down, she will need lost of rests for tomorrow, but with a soft smile on her face.
-------
Morning finally came and the Slayers gang had their normal breakfast and Lina, Gourry, Zel and Amelia went to the city to talk to Joyrock about the Jatkins, its time to see what kind of Sheriff is Joyrock.
The gang stand in front of the police station with determine looks, some people of town are gazing at them, wondering what four youngsters would want with a maniac like Joyrock.
"JOYROCK!!!!" Lina called very loud and everyone in town gasped when Lina did that.
Joyrock didn't respond at first but he slowly appears, coming out of the police station with a sinister chuckle. He looks down at the Slayers with a repulsive grin then he sits down at the stairs. "Well look what we have here it is the new guys. Hehehehehe!"
"Stop with the monkey talk Joyrock!" Zelgadiss demanded. "We have a bone to pick with you! Your brothers stole my van, assaulted us for no particular reasons…."
"And one of them tried to abuse one of our friends just yesterday!" Amelia added.
Joyrock chuckled. "So what's your point?"
"What do you mean what's my point!?!?" Amelia snapped furiously. "The Jatkins tried to hurt our friend and you act like it's no big deal?"
"Of course, according the Jatkins's laws that is not so important." Joyrock replied. "You people can ask the people of this town, they follow our laws or else they receive a one way ticked to the cemetery. HAAA HAHAHAHA!!!!"
"You are a Jatkins as well, aren't you?" Zel asked with a disgusted look.
"You are repulsive! You and your brothers act like punks and torture these people for your own entertainment!" Lina stated.
"Of course, to me humans are nothing more than toys." Joyrock said with a repulsive grin. "It is so fun to see their agonizing faces; it brings me such joy to my heard."
"You rotten SOB!" Gourry growled. "Is this how you respect human life? Is this how a sheriff must act to protect his people?"
"If you want to be a dirt bag than be the king of dirt bags for all I care but don't you dare torture these people like you do!" Lina yelled with determination.
The towns people looked at the Slayers gang with admiration, it has been a long time since some one has stood up to Joyrock like this.
"I've already told you, Humans are nothing more than toys to me!" Joyrock replied then he opens his mouth wide open. Red light starts to form in Joyrock's mouth and he shoots a blast that come out of his mouth and rushes directly at the Slayers.
"Look out!" Zel shouted when the blast came directly at them at full speed.
Suddenly Joyrock points his finger at his blast and then points it to a person of the city, the blast follows Joyrocks direction and hits the person, killing him instantly as he came in contact with the blast.
The Slayers turns to where the blast hit and they were traumatized to see the awful result right in front of them.
"What…no!!!!" Amelia cried when she saw the innocent man getting killed right in front of her.
The town's people gasped when they saw another one of their home town boy getting killed by Joyrock, again.
Zel looks back at Joyrock with a shocked face. "How did he do it? How did he manage to perform such attack from his mouth, and most of all how did he manage to control his attack so perfectly? This guy is a high-quality fighter, he's much more than just an insane sheriff."
"This is horrible…look at what he did…." Gourry said with a trembling voice as he continues to gaze at the dead man on the road.
Lina glares back at Joyrock whose been applauding for what he has just done.
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! HAAAAA HAHAH!! This is so wonderful, so magnificent! You see? You are just toys!"
Lina and the others could not take it anymore and charged against Joyrock.
In the moment when they we just two feet closer to Joyrock they are gunfire from the roof, luckily they manage to escape the shoots by mere luck. Lina and Zel look up to see Skinner, Nicks and Joe on the roof top of the police station with machine guns on their hands.
"Cowards……" Amelia grunted.
"AHAHAHAH!!!! As you can see there are quite advantages of being a Sheriff, we get all the guns, and lucky for you people my brother have quiet an aim." Joyrock them lifts a hand to the air. "Joe, Nicks! Show them how good you are!"
Joe and Nicks smirked and pointed their guns at the town's people and started to shoot at them.
The entire city is now invaded with the sounds of gunshots and the cries of pain from the town's people.
The Slayers gang are trying their best to protect the town's people from the shots. Some are pushing the people away from the shoots; others are trying to screaming at them to get out of the way.
Amelia then notices Joe pointing his gun to a kid. "Look out get out of the way!!!" she yelled as she ran to the kid. But Joe shoots at the kid, so Amelia has no choice but to jump the kid and take the hit for him.
"AMELIA!!!!" Zelgadiss screamed when he saw that Amelia is going to sacrifice herself for the kid, so he presses his hand to the ground. "DUG HUNT!!!!" and dozen of ground pillars emerge from the ground, high and large enough to protect everyone from the shoots.
"Hold your fire!!" Joyrock ordered and Nicks and Joe obey him. Joyrock then gets up from the stairs, still with a grin on his face. "Hehehehehe, it seems that you people are full of surprises. That is good, I will enjoy ripping out your spin in the end. For now I will let you with this simple message: this is my town and you follow things by my rules! So far we have been easy on ya but you better watch your back because next time you'll find a knife on your back!" Joyrock warned then enters back to his police station.
"And tell your dark haired girlfriend of yours that I'll be back someday to finish what I was about to do last night!" Skinner said with a disgusted smirk then he and his brothers get off the roof, laughing evilly as they did.
------
It been more then six hours since the shooting and Lina, Amelia, Gourry and Zel took the wounded people to the local doctors, since there was only one doctor in the city the Slayers and some of the local town folks help him out in everything they could.
But in the end some of the victims end up dying, even the father of the little boy that Amelia saved. Amelia watched in suffering how the boy and his mother whimpered for the death of their family member, this brings horrifying memories to Amelia, so horrifying that Amelia ended up crying.
"Amelia?" Zel called as he puts his hand on Amelia's shoulders only to see her crying. "Amelia, what's wrong?"
Amelia didn't respond she throws herself to Zel's arms and cries on his chest. Zel wraps his arms around Amelia, trying to console her as best as he could. Zel looks around his surroundings, people on the ground injured with others helping them as best as they can, some people end up dead while others are just wounded and hurt. Amelia once told him that her mother was killed when she was a child, and seeing all these people wounded or dying must bring many complications to her head, Zel starts to understand why Amelia is crying.
In his last patient the Doctor put on a white sheet covering the man's face because he died. The doctor let out a sad sigh. "Another one passed away……"
Lina, who's been assisting the doctor, let out a revolted grunt. In a certain she and the others are to blame for all this but they never knew that Joyrock would do such a despicable thing. No, the blame for all this is Joyrock and the Jatkins brothers; they are a bunch of monsters. Never in her life ever meet a person like Joyrock, a man who takes a self-indulgent pride on killing others and he's evil, insanely evil. "Damn you Joyrock!"
"Let me give you people some advise, don't face Joyrock, he's impossible to reason with." The Doctor advised.
"That's what people keep telling us." Lina replied.
"I don't understand, why do you people let them push you around like this?" Gourry asked as he and Amelia and Zel entered the room.
"Gourry, how do you want them to face the Jatkins when they have all the weapons?" Zel asked.
"It's not the weapons that scare us." The Doctor said.
"Then what is it?" Lina asked.
"Joyrock, that is what it is." The Doctor responded. "He is much stronger and much more insane and unpredictable than the Jatkins."
"I don't get it, why don't you people just get out of this city if Joyrock and his people are despicable and dangerous?" Amelia asked. "You should do that for the sake of your children."
"Many have tried to leave the city but they were always caught and tortured by the Jatkins. Joyrock wants to keep us here so that he can make us suffer just like today."
"You mean that this isn't the first time Joyrock does this to you?" Amelia asked in a shocked voice.
"That man is cruel!" Lina growled furiously.
"Joyrock does this to us because he knows that we don't break down so easily. Our attempt to revolt, to defend ourselves and to avenge ourselves only amuses Joyrock." The Doctor said in an angry voice.
"Then you people are prisoners in your own city……" Zel commented in a low voice.
"But haven't you tried to call anyone from the outside for help?" Gourry asked.
"Yes, but they were easily destroyed by Joyrock." The Doctor responded. "We try everything but our people haven't lost our hopes yet and we are determinate to defeat Joyrock and the Jatkins brothers and avenge all the ones they merciless slaughtered in the past."
Amelia admires the people of this town; even if they are a very small village they have a respectful courage. Joyrock has done things that would make an ordinary people lose their hopes; even so these people have never fallen down and continue with their struggle.
"These people still have their hopes up but how long can they last?" Zel thought to himself. "It will be only a matter of time before Joyrock decides to exterminate them all."
"We are off against extremely cruel people, selfish insane people with no human compassion." Lina thought. "I'm no Amelia but I'm going to put these guys in their place."
------
In the Jatkins hide out they have been drinking beer and celebrating for what they've done today.
"Let us celebrate for our big victory today!!!" Skinner cheered, throwing his beer can to the air.
"YAHOO!!!!" Joe and Nicks cheered, completely drunk.
"HAHAHAHAH AHHHH!!!!" Joyrock laughed, and then grabs Skinner by his neck. "The next time you have a chance to kill someone, DO IT!!! If you don't I'll obliterate you myself!" he saidwith a grin but with a very dangerous voice.
Even drunk, Joe and Nicks backed away, they know how dangerous Joyrock is, even for his own brothers.
"Joyrock!" some one called Joyrock, right behind him.
Joyrock did not even blink, he just smirked, even without looking he knows who it is. "Well now, it have been a long time, Kanzel." Joyrock turns around to see the spiky green haired man with pale skin.
"After this entire instance you're still very impertinent, Joyrock." Kanzel commented.
"What brings you here Kanzel? Does The Master wishes to speak with me?"
"Indeed. He wants you to see him right away. He has a very important mission for you!"
Joyrock chuckled. "Do I have to kill someone?"
"Possibly."
"Good!" Joyrock gets up from his seat and looks back to his Brothers. "As for you three, take care of things while I'm gone, and if those strangers gives you any hard time, eliminate them!"
"Yes, Brother Joyrock." Skinner, Nick and Joe replied respectfully, they don't want to get on the bad side of their brother, they know that he won't hesitate killing even them.
To be continued…….
Sunny: Joyrock is truly insane. Looks like you have some competition here, Air Jay.
Air Jay: oh shut up!
