Destiny

Chapter 18

The ball of dust soon formed into a rock, but soon burst into flames causing it to be a ball of fire. He looked at it pleasing and without needing to think about it he threw it like a baseball and it headed right towards for Aoshi.

Aoshi couldn't react fast enough as in a split second he could see that it was micrometers from his faces when something or someone grabbed him and pushed him out of the way.

When Aoshi regain his conscience of what just happen he looked at the person who had saved him.

"Mai!" He was surprise that she showed up there, in a battle of chaos, to save him.

"Are you okay?" Mai got up and brushed the dust away from her knees.

"And who might this be?" The man surprise that a human can dodge his fireball.

"Akahito?" Mai asked curiously as she though she recognized the man.

"So I see you know my brother" He replied.

"Why are you doing this?" Mai helped Aoshi up and went to the other injured.

"If you know my brother then you should know that we plan to take over Japan" He smiled as he watched the helpless girl tried to save her friends.

"You're Brother?" Mai asked as she stood up from where she was kneeling and walked closer to him.

"Yes...I guess you don't know....Oh well I guess I have to kill you now" He shrugged as he raised his right hand laid it flat as if he was waiting for something to fall into his palms.

"Don't underestimate me because I'm a girl" Mai smiled a bit.

A fireball formed in his hand, and as he looked at it pleasingly. He threw it at Mai like Aoshi, but this time it was faster.

"Mai!" Aoshi yelled as he afraid for her safety.

Mai raised her hand like she was pulling a string from the ground with her index and middle finger. A wave of water came from the ground shielding the harm that was coming to Mai.

"What?...................................How?............................... ....." the man stumbled backwards as he was amazed with what he saw.

Mai smiled without saying any fear on her face, but she was also pleased with the fact she was sending chills down his spine.

"Who are you?" The man stumbled over his words.

"I'm Mai" She smiled a big smile.

"What are you?" He asked trembling again.

"Have you been picking on regular human for to long that you think you're invincible? And never though that anyone could be stronger than you" Mai walked forward.

"I am the Solider of Chaos! I am the strongest!" The man stepped up with more confidence.

"Lets see" Mai smiled never got wiped off her face as she prepare for battle.
