Chapter 46

Sylphiel arrived with the kids and Martina to the cave that Amelia has told her about, and so far everything is going on just fine. "We arrived, is every one alright?"

"I-I think so…." Said a very tire Martina, which has been caring her daughter, Zoanna.

"We are fine." Said Maia and Val who have been caring Sylvia's little dogs.

"Ok, let's stay her until…." Suddenly Sylphiel notices something. "Wait a minute, where is Sylvia?"

Martina looked around. "I don't know. Wasn't she with us?"

Sylphiel gasped "Oh my God, don't tell me that she return back to the city!"

Martina almost freaked out. "Is she crazy?"

"Martina, stay here and watch over the kids, I'm going to find her!" and Sylphiel wasted no more time and runs back to the city to get Sylvia. She could not believe that this is happening, Zel and Amelia trusted Sylvia's safety to Sylphiel, and now she is probably in trouble again.

In the battle field.

Gourry and Air Jay are front to front, but Air Jay's looks are pointed at Lina.

"Don't worry Lina, after I finish this clown I will make you pay!"

"I doubt it!" said Gourry pointing his sword at Air Jay. "You won't get Lina."

This only made Air Jay laugh. "You moron! You have already forgotten how I practically kill you! You have probably forgotten that no mere human is capable of destroying me! I am the strongest man in the world!"

"What makes you think that I am mere?"

Air Jay smirked. "Your right, of all the members of the group, you are the one who is worthless!"

"What?"

"How dare you say that Air Jay?" shouted Lina, really angry with Air Jay's remark. "Gourry is a great swordsman, probably the best in the world, and he has helped a lot of people in the past. You have no right on insulting him!"

"Lina?" Gourry was surprised by Lina saying nice things about him. She normally only calls him Jelly fish, but she never said anything about his swordsman abilities, only in the time when she cut some of his hair to make some mini copies.

"So what?" replied Air Jay. "He is the only one who doesn't know how to use magic, and his sword of light is gone"

Gourry turn back to Air Jay with an angry face. "A person doesn't need magic to be strong, and I can still protect my family and friends with this sword."

"Oh yeah, and since when did you ever protected anyone?"

"What are you talking about?"

"When Lina was attacked by Rezo's copy and by Kenzel, where were you when she almost got killed? She is the one who has to save you. You say that you are her protector but you are so incompetent that you can not protect anyone!"

How Lina hates Air Jay. How dare he say that Gourry can't protect anyone, on those times with Rezo and Kenzel were just accidents, but Gourry has also helped her out in many occasions. Air Jay just loves to torment people, hitting them on where it hurts them most. Lina was about to say something when she saw Gourry, with an angry look, and his fist closed angrily because of Air Jay's comments, his fist is already starting to bleed because of the anger.

"Air Jay! Stop talking and go on with the fight!" ordered Naga.

Air Jay turns his head to Naga. "No problem babe! I will finish this right…" in the exact time when Air Jay was turning back to Gourry, he receives a strong punch from no other than Gourry, making Air Jay land on the ground, head first. "UUUF!"

"So I am worthless?" asked a very angry Gourry.

Lina was stunted, Gourry has sucker punched Air Jay. "Gourry…." She never thought that Gourry could be so strong, strong enough to beat Air Jay like this.

Even Naga was surprised, off all these last five years she has travelled with Air Jay she never saw him going down like this.

"How did he get me?" this was the only question running down Air Jay's mind has he get up ready to get Gourry.

But Gourry didn't let Air Jay get up and throws another punch at him, making Air Jay crash against the wall of a building. "So I can't protect anyone? I'm going to make you eat those words!"

Gourry marched against Air Jay ready to slash him but he dodged the blade by ducking, and Gourry took that chance by kicking Air Jay right in the jaw, making him drag all over the dirt.

"Way to go Gourry!" cheered Lina. Air Jay deserves this, he has hurt Gourry by his pride.

Air Jay got up again and pointed his eyes at Gourry. "I can't be defeated, by him of all people!"

Air Jay turned around ready to face Gourry again but the problem is that he wasn't any where at sight. Air Jay finally looks up and saw Gourry landing right has his direction of all speed against him.

Gourry came so fast that Air Jay could not defend himself against his sword attack, making a deep cut on Air Jay's chest "AAAARGH!"

"Now we are even!" said Gourry, making so pay back because of the scar that Air Jay has made on him. "And the 3 second is way up!"

But Air Jay's healing process is on the work, creating fire to heal the wound on his chest. But he points hateful eyes at Gourry. "You!" Air Jay ran to Gourry with his fists covered in fire.

Gourry also charged against Air Jay, ready to slash him again.

When booth fighters collided against each other, they have their backs against each other, still in the positions of their attacks.

There was a moment of silence until someone cried in pain.

"AAARG!" cried Air Jay in pain because only now the dozen deep cuts that Gourry has made on him have finally open, making Air Jay land on the ground.

"Way to go Gourry!" cheered Lina again, then she looked back at Naga who is now very worry about Air Jay, and Lina noticed something, Naga didn't faint because of this bloody fight, normally she would pass out at the mere sight of blood, she must have over come her fear for blood.

Lina then turns her attention to Air Jay, and she could see from his face that he is burning in anger. Possibly this time a Mazoku could fest with his negative emotions this time. But it serves him right, that will teach him to respect others people feelings

Air Jay's body is now covered with veins because of the anger he is feeling right now, because of the beating he is getting from Gourry, he still could not believe it, he is getting a beating from the one man he have almost killed once. "I can't be defeated by him, by HIM of all people!"

So Air Jay grabs apiece of wall that was near him. "Try to catch this, moron!" and throws it to Gourry.

"No problem." Mocked Gourry has he grabbed the wall with just one hand.

"What?" this amazed every one, they never imagined that Gourry would have such a Hercules strength.

"You can beat me this time Air Jay!" said Gourry has he throws the wall away.

This made Air Jay tremble of frustration "This can not be possible. I am Air Jay the strongest man of the world. I can not accept this!" But then Air Jay punches at himself on the face, only to force himself to calm down for a moment, to try to find a solution to this problem. "Has much as I hate to admit, you made some very impressive progress here, Gourry. How is it that you managed to perfect your self?"

"Huh?" asked Gourry not understanding what Air Jay just said.

"He is asking you how you got so strong Gourry!" said Lina, a little embarrassed.

Air Jay was even more. "I'm getting a royal beating by this guy?"

Gourry look back at Air Jay with a sincere but serious face. "Well it all started after my fight with the Dark doom…."

"It's Dark Star, Gourry!" corrected Lina.

"Yeah right….. In witch I gave the sword of light away and after my fight against you. And especially now that I am married and I have a son. But I begin to understand that it will be more difficult to protect Lina and Maia now that I don't have the sword of Light anymore, so I perfected my skills of a swords man, and perfected my body so that I can better protect my family from punks like you. Because it is my responsibility."

"Gourry…." Whispered Lina, she know how he is when it is about protecting the ones he love. But she never thought that his dedication would be strong enough to train hard for better defend his family. That would explain why she practically in the morning finds him training his skills.

"HA HA HA! I never thought that you would be smart enough to understand something like this, Gourry!" mocked Air Jay.

"You are very talkative for someone who is getting a beating of life time, Air Jay!" replied Gourry.

This, of course, upset Air Jay. But Air Jay was furious with his own stupidity, he was so obsess on defeating Lina that he never consider that Gourry might have perfected his abilities. "Ok, ok, ok. So I admit, you are strong. But you should not underestimate me boy, I am full of resources. But because of all the humiliations you put me in, I am going to play my last cart. I never thought that I might need it in this fight, but I will enjoy killing you with it."

Naga understood what Air Jay is talking about here. " OH OH OH OH OH! I still say that you should have given me that!"

"Snooze, you lose darling!"

"What are you people talking about?" asked Lina, she did not like this one bit.

Has a response Air Jay grabs something that is inside his jacked. "Get ready blond boy, I'm going to make you eat the dust!" and removes what it sees to be a bladeless sword.

Lina sweet dropped. "What that is it? It's just a ……" but Lina shut up when the object in Air Jay's hand sounded very familiar.

Gourry also recognized that object. "But it is….."

Air Jay just grinned at Lina and Gourry's reaction. "And it gets better. Light come forward!" and a light emerged from the sword.

And Lina and Gourry gasped when they realised what is the weapon in Air Jay's hand.

"I don't believe it" said Lina. "It's, it's ….…"

"The sword of Light!" finished Gourry. "Air Jay has the sword of light!"

To be continue….

Sunny: this is getting exciting, and unexpected, no?
