Chapter 6

------

Its seems like an eternity for the rock to fall down to the ground, Lina and Air Jay are patiently waiting for it to feel so that they can start their fight, only Gourry is the one who feels that has he's the one starting a difficult fight of his own, he promised to let Lina battle this monster on her own, forcing him to negate his job as a protector, but what worries him the most is all the rumours that came out of this Air Jay guy, he seems to be a very bad seed indeed but Lina seems very confident that she can beat him and of course Gourry trust her, she faced many dark lords and she always got up victorious but there is a terrible feeling in Gourry saying that something really bad is going to happen.

And finally the rock falls to the ground, booth Lina and Air Jay charged against each other.

"AAAH!" cried Air Jay and he got ready to throw a punch at Lina, but she blocked the attack by kicking his hand, then throws another kick at Air Jay's face making him fly to the air.

Lina took that chance to create a spell. "ELMIKIA LANCE!" and she throws it at Air Jay, hitting him hard and making him fall to the ground, defeated and wounded.

Gourry blinked in amaze. "It's over? That guy was nothing but a pushover."

Lina clapped her hands. "It hasn't been born the bandit that can defeat the Beautiful sorceress, Lina Inverse."

"Don't underestimate me, Lina Inverse." Said Air Jay with no wounds in him, only his clouts are all dirty.

Lina looks at him surprised; he got hit with an Elmikia Lance and he hasn't a single scratch in him? How is it possible? "You recover very quickly; I'm amazed that you managed to resist a spell like the Elmikia Lance."

" És uma parvalhona!" replied Air Jay.

"What?"

"I said És uma parvalhona.´" repeated Air Jay.

"Speak English!" ordered Lina with veins forming in her fist.

"I said that you are a dork! And for the last time, I'm not a bandit, I'm an outlaw!" reminded Air Jay with his grin, a grin that irritates Lina.

"I'm going to enjoy removing that smirk on your face. MEGA BRAND!" the spell hit Air Jay so hard that made crash against a house, demolishing it real good. "HA AHhAH! Take that!"

"No way could anyone survive that!" said Gourry walking to Lina.

"There is no bandit, or outlaw, or what ever Air jay likes to call himself, that can stand in a fight against Lina Inver……" Lina was interrupted when Air Jay suddenly appears right in front of Lina's face. "WHAT? How did you survive?"

"Lina Inverse, I have nothing to say, except this: BUURRR!" burped Air Jay right on Lina's face.

"GROSSE! You are such a pig!" cried Lina, this is the most stinky stuff anyone has ever done to her.

"That is what some people call me all the time." Joked Air Jay.

"Oh man, he's really going to get it now." Said Gourry.

An angry aura surrounds Lina, and Gourry backed away in fear. "No one burps on Lina Inverse's face and lives to tell the tale!"

"Ohhh, I'm so scare!" mocked Air Jay, but he was immediately rewarded with a big punch on the face, a strong punch which made Air Jay fly to the air.

Lina then grabs his legs and throws Air Jay against the wall and kicks Air Jay right on the face. She then grabs his hair and throws Air Jay to the air. "BLAST ASH!" shouted Lina and the dark spell hits Air Jay making him land on the ground.

Air Jay slowly lifts his head up, even with the beating he's been getting he still has a big smirk on his face.

Lina ray winged to the air and prepares another spell "DAMU BRAS!" and dozen of red spell hits on Air Jay, creating a big explosion when each one hit him bad.

After that Lina lands to the ground softly. "Well that's that, I doubt that he can get up after an attack like that."

"Are you sure?" asked Air jay emerging from the smoke.

Lina gasped when she heard Air Jay's voice, once again he comes out with out a scratch, Lina starts to get worry, and how can she beat this guy who just won't stand still? "Man, you are even worst than the roaches!"

"HEY!"

"Alright then, time to end this!" Lina put her self in position to prepare another big spell "Let's see you get out of this! FIREBALL!"

The Fireball flew directly at Air Jay, and he just puts his arm in front making the fireball hit it, at the exact moment that the fireball hit the arm, he absorbed the fireball into his skin. "What a rush!"

Lina almost let her jaw fall the ground, she never saw anything like this, she saw Mazokus resisting fireballs but she never saw anyone absorbing a fireball. "Who the heck are you? Are you some kind of a mazoku?"

Air Jay didn't like that question, he hates when people compare him with Mazokus. "Of course not! They get strong when absorb negative emotions from the humans but they weak as a sick kitten when they get positive emotions, heck they even get weak when they hear a love song! I would never be a part of a demons who have such a ridicules weakness!"

Lina hates to admit with Air Jay here, but he's right, she remembers the times when Amelia sings loves songs to Xellos and he gets so weak. But still…… "If you are not a Mazoku, then how did you absorb my fire ball?"

Air Jay puts on a smirk. "What does it matter to you? You are going to die now!"

Lina puts her self in a fighting position planning her next move. "You really think that I would just let you kill me like that? You don't know who I am but let me show you! FLARE ARROW!"

The faming arrow hits Air Jay and he absorbed it like he did with the fire ball. "Didn't you learn that I…."

Air Jay was silent when Lina kicked him on the face and making him bleed on the face. Lina took that chance to punch Air Jay on the guts, making him land on one knee, "MEGA BRAND!" Lina shoot the spell on Air Jay making him fall on the ground and crashing against a wall.

Smoke started come out of the tracks that Air Jay made on the ground because of falling victim of Lina's attack.

Lina cleared out of the sweet of her forehead. "Man that has got to be it! I bashed him good this time, not even a bandit could survive this."

"Way to go Lina!" cheered Gourry as he ran to Lina.

Lina lifted her thumbs up. "All too easy, that dork still need to eat a lot of soup if he hopes of ever beating the great, famous Lina Inverse." She then narrowed her eyes when she saw that Gourry suddenly stop and looked to the ground in shock, Lina turns around to see Air Jay already on his feet. "Darn It! I hate stubborn guys! Why can't they just fall down?"

Air Jay just cleared out his mouth full of blood and looks back at Lina with an evil smirk and a sinister chuckle "No one has ever made me bleed before, my sincere congratulations! Now I understand why you are so famous, your power is extraordinary!"

"I'm glad to see that crap head of yours finally understand that!" Replied Lina in her usual mighty tone. "You are facing the Genius of sorcery, Lina Inverse!"

"That is why I'll make sure that I'll be gentle on you when I kill you!"

Lina sighed. "He's still so arrogant, doesn't he sees that he can't win this fight!" she then looks up at Air Jay "Thanks for the care ness but you should be worry about you! You are facing the powerful and beautiful Lina Inverse, I fought many Mazoku Dark Lords and I beat them all, you are no dark lord but you'll be another one added on my list!"

"Bu the contrary, you'll be the one added on my victim list!" said Air Jay with a smirk but with a very scary voice.

----

Unknown to the two fighters is that they are being secretly watched by many people from Ashford's town, even they got curious to see if Lina can beat Air Jay.

"Lina been giving Air Jay a run for his money!" said the towns people nº56.

"Are you kidding?" asked towns people nº 14. "Look at Air Jay! He's still up with no wound on his body, and look at the grin on his face, he must be really sure of himself."

"So what are we going to do? Are we going to help Lina?" asked towns people nº45.

"Are you suicidal?" snapped towns people nº67. "If we do that Air Jay will kill us all! The best thing that we can do is to find Ashford and give him to Air Jay!"

"But we can't find Ashford!" cried towns people nº19. "He ran away yesterday and we can't find him! We are doomed!"

"Damn that Ashford, we will all die because of him!" cursed towns people nº5.

----

Air Jay and Lina never leave their stare at each other, being prepare for any attack that one another can throw.

In that moment Air Jay's eyes start to glow and a sphere of fire started to surround Air Jay, a sphere that release an impressive energy, an energy that already started to create cracks from the nearby houses walls, some even started to fall down. And the ground started to shake and pieces of the ground started to fly away to the sky, even some big rock started to fly.

"What's he doing?" asked Gourry trying to get his balance because of the earthquake that Air Jay is making.

Lina never left her eyes on Air jay, she knows that he's trying to impress her by using these mind games, but Lina already faced many foes that try this same tactic, the trick here is to not to let them control the situation.

Suddenly the grounds stops to shake and Air Jay's sphere despairs and all the rock that flew to the air felled down. "Are you now ready for the big Rumble?"

"Yes I am!" replied Lina with that confident looks on her. "And let me tell you that your little magic show didn't impress me one bit! It tames much more than that to impress Lina Inverse!"

Air Jay unleashed a sinister chuckle "But it will be getting better, Lina Inverse! Because this time I'm going to fight for real!"

To be continued…..

Sunny: this fight is far from over.

Ramon: the fight continues on the next chapter.
