Chapter 52
------
"ZELGADISS!" Amelia continued to cry has she continues to throw ice or wind spells at the burning building, hoping to extinct the fire, even Lina and Sylphiel are helping her, but is all of no use, the fire is too powerful for the spells "NO! please God, don't do this to me! Please!" Amelia can not believe how misfortune she is, she has lost her mother and sister, and now she is about to lose the man she loves, the man who is the father of her child. It is on times like these that Amelia believes that she was born only to suffer.
From inside the building Zel is still holding his shield and hearing Amelia's cries, still waiting for his death. His mind is all focused on Amelia and Sylvia, focused on the life he might have had if it wasn't for Air Jay, this is all his fault. Zel might have had a wonderful and pacifically life in the beginning if Air Jay didn't kidnap Sylvia back at the ball, if Air Jay never showed up, by now Sylvia would have known that Zel is her father, infect every time that they were going to tell Sylvia who is her father, Air Jay shows up and messes up every thing, and now Zel is this situation because of him. "Curse you Air Jay….."
From out side Sylvia watches every thing with tears in her eyes. "Rocky…..please come back…." Sobbed Sylvia, felling so worry for the man who has been her best friend and who is also a chimera like her, the man who she enjoyed play with, to force him to play dress up and who she enjoys to make him have a tea party with her, the same man who has won a doll for her on the Spring Festival. This man has been such a good friend to her and now because of her disobedience and her curiosity he might be hurt very bad, or even worst. "Rocky, please don't die!"
Suddenly Gourry notices something from the sky. "Lina, guys, what is that?"
"Huh?" Lina turned around to see what Gourry is pointing at the sky, and she saw a enormous fireball coming their way at full speed. "What is that thing?"
"EVERY ONE, RUN!" cried Xellos when the fire ball was about to hit them.
BOOM
The explosion created a big crater covered in smoke, and they could see a figure coming out. Every one gasped when they saw who it was. It is Air Jay, with his clouts almost racked, and his eyes are still red.
"No it can not be…." Whispered Xellos in a frightened tone.
Zangulos landed on his knees when he saw their enemy, still alive. "Tell me I'm dreaming, I saw him get it with the attack, he should have not survived!"
Air Jay laughed at Zangulos reaction. "True it was a powerful attack, but my body was covered in fire when I got hit with the attack witch is why it has done little damage to me, and when I reached the atmosphere I manage to escape. And now it's time for my revenge!" Air Jay lied about the part when he said that the attack has made little damage, it has done big damage to him, and because of that he almost can not stand on his feet.
Amelia could not believe this herself, looks like her bad luck is getting worst. She can not waist her time fighting Air Jay, Zelgadiss has so little time left before the fires starts to kill him.
"Damn you Air Jay! Why don't just leave us alone? Zelgadiss is trapped inside that building of fire because of you!" said Lina pointing at the building behind her. "We can't put down the fire and Zel might end up dead!"
"Tell that to some one who cares!" replied Air Jay very coldly. Every one glared and growled angrily at Air Jay for his cold reply.
"UNCLE AIR JAY!" cried Sylvia has she ran to Air Jay. Every one started to panic when they saw Sylvia running to him.
"No Sylvia wait!" Gourry tried to catch Sylvia, but he not succeeded.
Even Lina and tried to catch her. "Sylvia get back here!"
"Sylvia don't go to him, he's dangerous!" shouted Sylphiel.
Amelia started to feel terrorised when she saw her child going to the same evil man who is responsible for all this mess, the man who kidnapped her and tried to kill Filia. "SYLVIA! GET BACK HERE AT ONCE!"
But Sylvia ignored her mother and grabbed Air Jay by his leg. "Uncle Air Jay, you must save Rocky!"
"What?"
"Please, you can do that fire thingy that you show me! You're the only one who can save him! Please!" begged Sylvia with tears on her eyes.
In that moment Air Jay's eyes returned back to normal. Normally he would be more than just happy to leave Zelgadiss to his doom, but there are things that he just can not stand, and one of them is watching a child cry, especially his own niece. "Ok kid, just step aside a little."
And so Sylvia obeyed him, and Air Jay lifts his hand to the air, and all the fire that is on the building starts to move and waving, like he's controlling them, in fact all the fires of the remaining buildings that are burning are also reacting to this.
"Come to me!" ordered Air Jay and all the fires that are on the buildings stars to fly to Air Jay, catering to him. And Air Jay opens his mouth and the fires starts to enter in it, once the entire fire was in him, he starts to chew on it like if it was food and swallows it, and all his wounds faded away, but some smoke starts to come out of Air Jay's mouth. "That's one spicy meatball!"
Every one could not believe of the weird show that has just happen in front of them, except for Sylphiel that has fainted when she saw this.
"I can not believe in what I just saw, he ate the fire like if it was food!" said Zangulos.
"I think I'm going to be sick!" said Gourry trying to hold on to his lunch.
"Have you people noticed the fact how he controlled the fire so easily?" asked Lina, interested in that fact.
"It must be because of his phoenix blood!" said Xellos. "it must be because of that the can manage to control fire to his free will."
"But what about Zelgadiss?" Asked Amelia turning to the building where Zel's being held.
Has for Zel, he's more confuse now, the fire was about to get him when all of a sudden it was backing away like if someone is calling them. How did this happen? "Well who cares!" Zel turns of his shield and blasts the wall and raying's out of the building and land on one knee next to his friends, catching his breath.
"Zelgadiss!" cried Amelia has she runs to Zel to and gives him a big hug. "You idiot! Don't ever scare me like this again!"
"Sorry Amelia." Said Zel with a soft smile and wrapping an arm around Amelia.
"Rocky!" cried Sylvia has she runs to Zelgadiss and also gives him a big hug.
And with his remaining arms Zel wraps it around his daughter, he wanted to enjoy this moment when he finally has his Family in his arms. This is the warm he's been seeking all these years.
But then he lets go of them and looks at Sylvia with an angry and serious face. "Sylvia! What are you doing here? Didn't your mother tell you to go with Sylphiel to the hide out?"
Sylvia giggled nervously. "well…..I was kind of…curious."
"CURIOUS? I have had it with you, young lady! You are grounded!"
"Ok!" said Sylvia has she hugs Zel again, she didn't care if she's going to get grounded, she is just happy to see that Rocky is al right.
Zel slaps him self on the forehead. "Why is it that I can never get angry at her?"
Amelia laughed at this.
And every one looked at the happy family with a smile, they are just glad that every thing I has turn out alright for them.
But then they turn to Air Jay who seems to be waiting for them.
"Well Air Jay, what is going to be?" asked Lina. "Are we going to continue this damn fight?"
Air Jay just spited to the ground. "Relax Lina, I will leave. I admit that I am not strong enough to take you down, but don't think that this is over! When I get strong enough in my journey to the New world, you will all see me again!" after saying that Air Jay turned to leave.
"Lina are you really going to let him go?" asked Gourry in a whisper.
"Let him go Gourry!" Lina whispered back. "We are too tire to continue this fight, and besides, it seems like Air Jay has quite this fight because of Sylvia."
"Wait, Uncle Air Jay!" called Sylvia has she ran to Air Jay.
"No Sylvia! Get back here!" ordered Zel. And the others were too tire to try to catch her.
Air Jay turned around to see what Sylvia want, but he was surprised when Sylvia jump on him to give him a big hug. "Thank you Uncle Air Jay, thank you so much for saving Rocky!"
Air Jay's eyes trembled when Sylvia said that "She…..she said thanks? Some one has thanked me?" Air Jay could not hold on his tears anymore.
Every one looked at Air Jay, surprised.
"He's crying?" asked Zangulos amazed. "That monster cries?"
"But what is he crying about?" asked Amelia.
"Those are tears of emotions." Said Filia.
"Say what?" every one asked.
"Yes. Thanks to the stuff that Prince Phill has always said about the Andrades, Air Jay has always been seen to be nothing more than a monster, a cruel demon without receiving any compassion, the only human compassion he ever had come from his family that got killed. But Sylvia treated Air Jay like a human being and warmed up his cold heart."
Zel smiled at his daughter. "My little angel has that effect on people."
"Why am I getting so soft?" thought Air Jay covering his wetted eyes with a hand. "I Air Jay, the king of all outlaws am getting so sentimental by the words of child. This is unbelievable."
Air Jay rubbed his eyes and putted Sylvia on the ground. "Take care of your self kid." After saying this he gave a big jump to the air, formed his fire wings and fly away.
"Bye Uncle Air Jay!"
------
From the warehouse, Kiko saw it all in his crystal ball, it has been a long time since the last time he saw Air Jay cry, he was just 8 years old the last time he cry.
Flash back.
Kiko walks around the burning city where Jayson used his tornado the entire city has been burn to the ground, and practically no living human soul survived, luckily Kiko used his power to save all the animal creatures of the city, still he could not find Jayson.
After a few minutes of searching Kiko has found his sitting on the ground between two houses all destroyed, he seemed to be crying. "Ruff Ruff! Ruff? ( Jayson! Are you alright?)"
Jayson looked at his best and only friend, his eyes all wet because of the cries. "I feel a little calmer."
"Ruuf? Au Auuuuu! ( what's the big idea of using the Tornado? You mother has warn you than that attack is too powerful!)"
"They were celebrating."
"Ruf? (What?)
"This city is one of those cities that warships Phill, and so they were celebrating my families death, like if they were truly monsters, I got so angry that I used the Tornado to make all of them suffering."
"Auuu, Auuuuu… ( I understand, But Jayson……)
"Don't call me that anymore, I don't want to be Jayson anymore, I will change my name, my mother always said I knew how to fly in the air properly with my fire wings, so from now on, I will be named Air Jay."
Kiko looked surprised on the kid. " Au, grrr au, au au ruf? (Ok, Air Jay, why is it with this sudden change of names? what are you trying to prove here?)
Jayson cried some more. "People always treated me and my family like monsters because of Phill, he has made our lives a living hell, and because of that people call me a devil child, they already judge me with out even knowing me. But I won't let Phill go around feeling proud of himself. I promise he will pay for this, so I will become the greatest criminal of the world, I will make Phill's life a living hell. And I promise another thing, I will never cry again!" and Jayson resumed on crying some more for these will be the last tears he will shred
Kiko pity the kid so much, the kid lost his family because of the stupidity of one man.
End of Flash back.
"oh ohhh" mumbled Naga finally waking up. When she was fully awake she noticed that she is on the ship that she is planning on stealing "Wha-what happen?"
"So your finally awake babe?" Air Jay entered the scene trying to act his cool self to hide out his emotion.
"Air Jay, so what happen?" Naga asked again.
"Well….you got knock on the head, and I…….lost, again."
"Rats! So we better get out of here before my Dad appears."
"Relax girl, I beat him so bad that he won't be walking for a long time."
"That's good, but my sister might….." Naga stopped and look back at Air Jay with an angry glare. "You didn't hurt my sister again, did you?"
"No baby, she's fine, she's fine!" Air Jay answered immediately.
After a moment of angry silence, Naga spoke again. "well alright, but wait up a minute, I'm going to get my mask before we leave."
After Naga left Kiko turn back to Air Jay to talk to him, or better say it, bark. "Au Au auuuuu? (Are you alright Air Jay?)"
"Yeah, I'm alright." Answered Air Jay, normally. "Don't worry, I'm ok. I'll get over it."
Kiko didn't bark anything more, but some way he is glad that Sylvia and Naga managed to bring back some of Air Jay's humanity.
------
The entire Slayers gang were resting on the ground, recuperating from the big fight they had with Air Jay, Syphiel and Amelia are helping out casting healing spell on every one, Amelia started with Zelgadiss first.
"Say Zelgadiss, are you still planning to tell the true to Sylvia today?"
"No, not today, tomorrow, the kid has passed to so much today, let her rest."
"Yeah your right." Amelia knows that Zel is right but she wanted to tell Sylvia the truth so soon, but it seems that every time they are going to tell the truth to the girl, some one always appears to mess things up really bad.
"Say Lina, what are going to do with the sword of light?" Asked Gourry pointing to his old sword.
"Well, Sirius didn't came back to claim it, so we can keep it uptil he comes back for it." Said Lina and then she smirks. "Or you can give it to me!"
Gourry pushed the sword away from Lina's sight "no way Lina! The sword is a family treasure, in two words, it's mine!"
Lina laughed. "It's been a long time since I hear that."
This also made Gourry laugh
"Mama, Papa!" cried a voice from behind them. Its Maia who gave his parents a big hug.
"Hey little one!" greeted Gourry, tapping his son on the head.
"Why Maia, didn't I told you to be with Martina?" Asked Lina giving a weak bong on the kids head.
Maia chuckled nervously. "Well, I wanted to be here."
Gourry laughed at the kids answer "You know Maia? You're starting to sound like your mother.
"I am?"
"He is?"
"LINA!" called Martina who was followed by her daughter Zoanna and little Val who are caring Sylvia's puppies. "I really must protest! Your brat is so disobedient! He almost put himself in danger by coming here! And further more…."
"What did you call my son?" shouted Lina in a scary voice.
"Oh no…" Said Martina, turning all white. To think that she would have learn her lesson by now.
While Martina was getting beat Val and Zoanna walked to Sylvia to give back her Dalmatian puppies.
"Her are your dogs Sylvia, they were crying the entire time!" said Zoanna passing Rald and Ken to Sylvia.
"Yeah, they really miss you, it's like they think you're their mother or something." Said Val passing Gi-gi and Rocha to Sylvia.
Sylvia giggled at this, and the dogs really got attached to her.
Suddenly heavy foots steps are heard, foots steps coming their way.
"What's going on?" asked Gourry getting worry.
"Damn it!" yelled Lina letting go of Martina. "Why do I have the feeling that Air Jay has something to do with this?"
"But wont this ever end?" asked Zel getting tire of all of this "Please!"
And from behind the buildings appeared a giant, or better name it a Golem, or better name it a Giant Piko piko Air Jay Golem doll.
Every one had their mouth wide open when the saw the golem, it just like the Lina Golem doll, but it looks alike like Air Jay, whit the hair and all.
"My precious Lina Doll!" Cried a voice from the Golem's head who jumped from to the ground and amazingly he didn't die. It's Galia. "What has that punk done to you?" Galia landed on his knees when he saw the Piko Piko Lina doll lying on the ground.
"Who are you?" asked Amelia.
"Galia!" shouted Lina.
"Lina!" said Galia very happy to see Lina again. "My Gosh it has been such a long time!"
"Miss Lina, pleasure to see you again." Said Laia getting down of the golem, but a little frightened to see Lina again, at least Naga is not around, when those two get together, it total raw.
But Lina was not happy to see Galia, so she grabs him by the shirt. "Well I have some old scores to settle with you Galia! You promise to make a perfect Golem based of me but you made me look like a fool! And you didn't even paid me for it!"
"But it was free. Wasn't it?"
"NO IT WASN'T!"
Just then Galia notices Maia. "Say, who is the kid?"
"He is my son!" responded Lina.
"Oh my. Just seeing the kid, I'm feeling inspired! Say kid, would you like to be the next model for my golem?"
"What's a model?" asked Maia.
But Lina punched old man Galia, making him crash against his new Golem.
"I knew that this was going to happen. Misfortune is really my middle name." whined Laia.
Gourry sweat dropped. "They really know Lina."
Suddenly they notice a big shadow appearing on top of them, when they saw what it is they gasped. It is the ship that Phill was planning on using to catch Air Jay.
"Good bye my friends!" Yelled Air Jay has he appeared with Naga beside him using a mask. "and please thank old Philly-dork for preparing this ship for us, we would have wasted lots of time preparing one to go to the new world!" mocked Air Jay, laughing at their faces.
Amelia let out a big smile when she saw who it is next to Air Jay. Amelia knew who it is even if she is wearing a mask. "THANK YOU, GARCIA!"
Naga got touched when she heard her baby sister, so she removed her mask and gave a peace sign to Amelia.
"WHAT!" yelled Air furiously when he saw the Piko Piko Air Jay golem doll "Sacana! Galia has really made a golem of me! I'LL KILL HIM!"
Air Jay was about to jump out of the ship to get Galia but Naga grabbed him. "Calm down Air Jay!"
"Let me kill him, let me kill him! Let me at least rip his head off, or at least break his neck!"
"Kiko, get us out of here!"
"Au au, Auuu! (good idea, I'm getting air sick!)" barked Kiko has he used his magic to teleport them and the ship out there.
"It finally over!" sighed Zangulos in relieve.
"But why were you thanking Naga for Amelia?" asked Lina.
"It's sister stuff, Miss Lina." Replied Amelia with one the smiles she usually had.
Zel knew why Amelia thanked Naga, it all because of the stuff he said to her.
Has for Xellos, he rested on the ground and look at the sky. "I'm getting too old for this, I need a good night sleep. These adventures can kill a guy."
To be continue….
Sunny: a happy end in this chapter, no?
Maliska: you people were already thinking that we were going to let Zel die, right?
