My final fantasy

Chapter 23: Phoenix mountain

"Damn man how big is this hill" Feka moaned as he wiped some sweat from his forehead.

"Mountain" Sameri said

"What?"

"This is a mountain, not a hill" Sameri told the confused mage. They continued walking a little farther,

"I'm bored!" Feka suddenly stated. And everyone growled at him annoyed.

"I'm hungry too!" Feka told them and Luna poked out her claws ready to strike him, Edd also loaded his shotgun.

"Can we rest now!" with that Edd whacked Feka over the head and Luna kicked him on the floor while Sameri stood and watch, sighing.

"It's hard to believe their friends"

Oni lay on the bed in the doctor's room not moving, only looking up at the ceiling. After a while the bright colors started to give her a headache so she rolled her head to one side. The doctor was looking over something, it may have been the blood sample the doctor took a while ago but she hasn't sure. The doctor turned around with a sad look on his face.

"I'm sorry, I have never seen this illness before!" he told her Oni sighed.

"Will it kill me?" she coughed the question, now every move hurt her.

"If it's not treated quickly… it will!" the doctor told her. Oni looked sad for a moment but smiled.

"I can see Ryo again!" Oni smiled and closed her eyes. The doctor walked over to her quickly.

"Hello?"

"Hello demon girl?" the doctor asked her but she didn't reply.

In a different hospital miles away from Oni's another demon lay in pain. Datch starred up at the ceiling growling at his own weakness.

"If I find out who ever gave me this virus I will beat them too a bloody pulp and then flush their liquid body down the TOILET!" Datch screamed highly pissed off. Suddenly Datch's eyes hurt from a bright pink object suddenly in his way.

"Oh god no!" Datch sighed knowing who it was.

"Hiya! Datch, just brought you something!" Alex smiled to him while putting a vase of bright and colorful flowers next to his bed.

"I made you this too!" Alex smiled handing him some paper. Datch opened the card and looked inside.

"Get will soan" Datch read the badly spelt words aloud. He flipped the card over to look at the picture again. To Datch's surprise it was draw quite well and it did look like him. On the paper was a picture of Datch and Alex in a field laying down looking up at the sky.

"Umm thank you!" Datch said handing the card back to her, for once Alex's happy and stupid mood hadn't annoyed him.

"I knew you'd like it" Alex smiled and giggled.

"Crap! I'm going soft!" Datch growled in his mind.

High atop the phoenix mountain Feka had trouble keeping up with his friends as they had tied him up with rope and shoved his own sock in mouth so every word he said came out as a quiet muffled sound. Suddenly Feka tripped up and landed flat on his face but at the same time finally spitting out the sock.

"Ah man that's horrible, why did you have to use my sock?" Feka shouted but only silence followed.

"HELLO!" Feka said looking up and gasped. They had made it to the top of the mountain and they were standing before the giant firebird, the Phoenix. It looked down at the in a menacing way but suddenly something kicked in at the back of Luna's mind. Suddenly Luna hissed at it and out shot all her claws ready for attack and she jumped at it.

"I hate cats," Sameri said running after her. Edd quickly loaded his gun with a smile and ran after his 2 friends as well, while leaving Feka tied up on the floor.

"HEY!"

The giant Bird flapped its huge wings as it noticed the on coming attack sending a gust of wind at them, blowing Sameri and Edd back, but Luna was able to keep her ground by digging her long claws into the rock floor. When the bird stopped it flaps Luna jumped up at it digging her claws into it's feathery Chest. The Bird roared in anger and in pain but Luna now crazed with the idea of attacking a bird still hung on. Edd climbed up from the floor shaking his head as it banged it hard well the phoenix blew him away.

"Damn I hate you Luna" Edd screamed up at her. Edd raised his shotgun with one hand aiming it that their new enemy and fired. The Phoenix roared again as a spread of bullets hit its chest just below Luna. Edd pumped his gun reloading for a second shot.

"Stop you idiot!" a voice yelled from behind him. Edd turned to Sameri and glared at him.

"Don't shot at that bird again!" Sameri told him a second time.

"Why?" Edd questioned him.

"If we don't attack, it won't hurt us!" Sameri told him.

"Tell that to the Catgirl over there" Edd said placing his gun back into it's holster on his left leg.

"Fine!" Sameri said putting his hand into the inside pocket on his jacket, which he then pulled a card from. Sameri turned to the giant bird and threw the card at it. Instead of the Card hitting the phoenix it tapped Luna on the back of the head lightly. Luna's eye's shot wide open then slowly closed again and she fell from the phoenix landing on the floor in a pile snoring loudly.

"Sleep Card" Sameri smiled.

"I see" Edd said surprised by the power of a single piece of card. Edd walked over to Luna grabbed her by the tail and swung her into his shoulder. In a way so she faced behind Edd and her tail hung down over his chest.

"I'd better carry her, she won't stop moaning if we leave her" Edd grunted.

"Wise!" Sameri smiled and suddenly from behind them.

"That's good and all but…" Feka said and paused after.

"UNTIE ME FROM THIS FRIGGIN ROPE BEFORE I BITE YA ANKLES OFF!" Feka screamed at them bouncing up and down a bit.

"You're a mage? burn yourself out!" Sameri told him and Feka blinked.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Feka grunted in his mind. Sameri walked over to the confused Phoenix and pulled out another card.

"Don't worry we won't hurt you any more" Sameri told the bird while it stroked it's chest. Sameri placed the card up against its feathers healing all it's wounds.

"Heal card, I presume." Edd asked. Suddenly from behind them came yet another scream.

"AHH! Put me out! Put me out! Get some water?" Feka yelled running around on fire.

The 3 walked just passed the phoenix to get to a small lake. The water glowed with a slight glint of gold and it was also very clear, there were no ripples in the water giving it a smooth glass look. Sameri bent down and popped in a bottle to hold some of the water.

"Oh my God!" Edd said looking into the water. For a few seconds they looked into the water at their reflections, they were reflected perfectly in the clear water like it was a mirror but in the water's reflection standing behind them was Ryo?
