Chapter 7
------
The two fighters remained in their places and in silence, waiting for each other to make their move, Lina didn't like this, Air Jay's is still having his grin considering the fact that he's been getting his butt kicked, it's like he's not been fighting for real so far.
Air Jay took one step forward. "What is the matter why don't you attack? Must I attack first? Alright then!" and he runs at all speed to Lina and punches her right on the face, making her fly to the air.
"Lina!" cried Gourry when Lina got punched.
Air Jay jumped to the air and grabs Lina by the leg and throws her to the ground. "Kiss the floor! He, he, he!"
Lina started to get up a little slowly, she never received a treatment like, but this did not scare her, it made her angrier. "You'll pay for this, you talking hair ball! ELMIKIA LANCE!"
The spell marched against Air Jay, but he pressed his fist to the ground "KATRAPUMB!" and an enormous explosion came from the flour, blocking Lina's Elmikia Lance.
The block greeted an explosion which made a lot of smoke. "Darn it where is he?"
"Here!" Air Jay appeared from the smoke and throws more punches and kicks at Lina, making it impossible for her to resist.
-----
The towns people just remained hidden, not even daring to take part of this fight.
"I knew this was going to happen." Said towns people nº9 "Lina is going to die!"
"Maybe we should start finding Ashford so that Air Jay won't kill us in the end!" said towns people nº17.
-----
Lina landed on her knees, she never saw a thing like that, and he was truly faking his fight against her so that he might study her. "Darn you!"
"Remember when I said that I was going to be gentle with you? I lied!" taunted Air Jay and lifts a finger up and it starts to burn. "Let me show you my own version of a fire ball." And points his finger at Lina and a fire ball came out.
BOOM
Lina managed to escape from the attack but just barely but still she keeps on her grin. "So you have been just toying around so far? Good, that means that this fight can start for real! MEGA BRANDA!"
Air Jay jumped to the air to escape the attack, something that Lina was expecting. "Good!" and she lifts her hand to the air "GAINASA!" and an electric power surrounds Lina and an enormous electric magic ball goes at full speed to Air Jay.
"What are you doing?" asked Air jay when the attack goes to him, he lifts his hand to grab the attack but in the exact moment when he grabbed the spell he received an enormous electric explosion and lands on the ground, creating a big explosion as he does.
Lina lands on her knees sweating all over. "Man I'm sure glad that over."
"Lina…." Sighed Gourry in relief, that Air Jay character has proved to be one strong SOB.
He was about to go to Lina when he starts to feel the ground shaking.
"What? What's going on?" asked Lina as she immediately got up.
The ground continues to shake and some houses starts to sink to the ground or exploding with small Geysers that emerge from the grounds.
Lina had her mouth wide open, she never saw anything like this. Suddenly an explosion of hot boiling lava emerges right next to Lina and from all the lava comes out Air Jay, his entire body is covered with lava which it doesn't seem to bother him one bit.
"Yo babe, let me ask you something. Was that attack suppose to hurt me?" taunted Air Jay who seems to be more fresh than ever.
Gourry just could not stop shaking, Air Jay came out of the ground with Lava all over his body and that does not seem to disturb him one bit, what kind of man is Air Jay.
"You must be a Mazoku!" shirked Lina. "No human being could call on Lava like that, and most of all he could not survive on it!"
"I have very special resources, but you will that out in hell when you meet my other victims!" and creates some kind of ninja star of fire. "ESTRELA!" and throws it at Lina.
"AAAH!" screamed Lina as she dodged the attack, but the Estrela hits a house, cutting it in haft. "Oh my Gosh!"
"Don't turn your back on me!" Air Jay grabs Lina from the back of her head, throws her to the air and kicks her to make her crash against a wall.
"Lina!" cried Gourry.
Lina immediately gets up to restart the fight.
"Do you have some kind of death wish?" asked Air Jay with an arrogant tone. "Don't you see that you can't beat me?"
Even hurt Lina puts on her usual grin. "Believe me, in another moment I would be very far away from here, but I am not the kind of person to run away in the middle of a fight."
"Bravo, I like your spirit!" congratulated Air Jay, still in an arrogant tone. "But you must know your limits."
"I'm so sick and tire of hearing you! DIEM WING!" the powerful blast of wind hits Air Jay but he hasn't move one inch.
Then Lina tries another spell "ZELAS GOTO!" and a giant Jellyfish appears and wraps his tentacles around Air Jay. "I got you now!"
Air Jay just smirks then lets out a battle cry and his body gets surrounded by fire and launches an impressive body blast that destroys the Jellyfish, or better say it he burns it until is nothing but ashes.
Lina gasped when Air Jay did that, she is really getting desperate about all this, it is like facing Garv all over again.
Air Jay noticed that Lina is really desperate here. "So what is the matter? Afraid of me?"
Lina glared furiously at Air Jay, he's enjoying torturing her like this and Lina totally hates it. "Never!" and she gives Air Jay a big kick on his face, a very strong kick but that did not have any effect on him.
"Was I suppose to say ouch´?" joked Air Jay and throws another punch at Lina, making her fall to the ground.
Gourry on the other hand is feeling very worthless, he knows that he has promised Lina not to interfere in this fight but he's feeling so impudent to see Lina taking this beating by herself.
Air Jay garbs Lina by the hair and lifts her up. "So sorry girl, but it is over!" and wraps his arms around Lina and performs her a bear hug squeezing her good.
"AAAAH!" cried Lina in pain as Air Jay continues to squeeze her.
"It's all over Lina, when you die I will finally be known as the enemy of all things!" said Air Jay as he squeezes Lina even more strongly.
"AAAAHHH!" cries Lina more louder that even blood starts to come out of Lina's mouth.
Gourry's body starts to shake in fury, there is Lina fight for her life against a evil creature like Air Jay and he's just staying where he is and just stand there and watch? What kind of protector am I? He asked himself and remembering that night when he said that he would protect Lina for the rest of his life, he is falling that promise, and he's letting the woman that he loves risk her life against a monster like Air Jay, this is like the time where Lina was possessed by the Lord of Nighmare, a horrible experience that Gourry never wants to experience again but watching Lina suffering like this brings back those horrible memories to Gourry.
Gourry just could not take it anymore, he unleashes his sword and runs directly at Air Jay. "ENOUGH! LET HER GO!"
"Huh?" Air Jay finally looks at Gourry running his way ready to strike him down.
He dodges the attack but he ended up releasing Lina.
Gourry stands in front of Lina so that Air Jay doesn't try to attack her.
Lina gasps for air for a moment then finally looks at Gourry. "Gourry, you jellyfish…..I told you not to interfere."
"I know Lina, you can fireball me or even Dragon Slave me later if you want but I am going to help you now." Said Gourry very seriously, not looking at Lina.
"Gourry please, be reasonable for once in your life and……"
"Don't insist Lina!" shouted Gourry.
Lina's in shock, Gourry never shouted to her before, he really must have had when he saw Lina being mistreated by Gourry like that.
"I'm going to help you Lina whether you like it or not. We have always been together in the fights and we'll be together now!" said Gourry holding his sword more firmly.
Lina didn't want Gourry to help her, it would feel weir to be helped by the same man she is going to give all the money of the reward to but she has to admit that Air Jay is very strong and she can not defeat him by herself. Besides she and Gourry always worked together to defeat their foes, so it is best that they work together one last time. "Alright Gourry, but after this you will pay me dinner!"
Gourry has been missing hearing that even if it just passed a few minutes; it made him feel more relief to see that Lina is still herself even against a maniac like Air Jay.
Lina gets up to her feat to face Air Jay. "Alright Air Jay, this time you'll face both of us!"
Air Jay remained in silence for a moment then he starts to laugh. "You dorks makes me laugh!"
"What's that?" demanded Lina and Gourry.
"Do you people expect to impress me by making it a handicap fight? Sorry to tell you this but even if it is two against one you guys can not beat the all mighty Air Jay!"
"Poor fool." Replied Lina with a smirk. "You still don't know who we are! We have faced many dangers and many powerful foes and Dark lords in past and we always defeated them, so it is a matter of time before we beat you good!"
"You may have faced many dark lords in the past, I respect that." Said Air Jay in his own arrogant way then he points angry glares at Lina and Gourry. "But the one thing I can not stand here is to be underestimated like this. I am the strongest man in the world and I'm going to show that to you!"
Lina and Gourry put themselves in fighting positions.
And Air Jay runs directly at them so fast that Lina and Gourry can not even see him. And Air Jay punches Lina and Gourry at the same time, making them fall to the ground.
Both Lina and Gourry got up on their feet immediately, but still shocked of how good Air Jay is.
"Unbelievable, he's really fast." Thought Gourry.
"How can one man be so fast?" Thought Lina. "This speed is not normal from a human being! Who is this man?"
Air Jay just lets out a sinister chuckle "Now you see why I must not be underestimated! It is complete suicide, but of course it is already a suicide to face me!"
"Say's you!" growled Lina. "This is just getting started!"
"Good, good!" said Air Jay in a very sinister voice. "I just hope that your guys are much better than my past adversaries."
To be continued……..
Sunny: now Lina and Gourry are going to face Air Jay. Will they'll be able to beat him this time?
Ramon: the fight will continue but this time it will be two against one, let's see how the rest will work out.
