The Trio
Ramon: The sequel of To the end, but a little based on Naga and her family.
Sunny: The Slayers and all its characters don't belong to us, not even the story about the Seilune family; it belongs to Hajime Kanzaka and Rui Arazumi. We are just fans who like to make fan fics.

Chapter 4
------
Dozen and dozen of Seilune soldiers are still running after Air Jay who is still caring Gracia and with Kiko on his head.
"Must go faster!" Gracia said as she saw the entire Seilune Soldiers is still after them.
"Its time to sing the Fado!" Air Jay said in a crazy tone and still running.
"Forget the Fado! You're obsessed with the Fado!"
"(Will you both shut up!)" Kiko screamed telepathically.
"I have an idea. Go to that warehouse Air Jay!" Gracia ordered pointing to a warehouse right near them and Air Jay obeyed her.
All the soldiers followed Air Jay inside the warehouse, once they got in there they didn't saw Air Jay any where, only an empty warehouse.
"Where are they?" asked one of the soldiers.
Suddenly a black mist invades the entire warehouse, blinding every one of the soldiers of what it is in front of them.
Then a few punching noises are heard making al the Seilune soldiers falling to the ground.
A few seconds later the mist disappears showing all the Seilune soldiers that were after Air Jay and Gracia on the ground, beat and bruised.
Only Air Jay stands on his feet. "It was easy as pie!"
"Of course, because it was my plan!" Said Gracia appearing from behind one of the boxes. "It is a good thing that I learned to use the Dark Cloud!"
"Yeah what ever…."
"Au AU!!!" barked Kiko, pointing to the door.
"Alright! Cool!" Air Jay said in excitement and cracking his knuckles.
"What? What is it?" Gracia asked. "What is Kiko saying?"
""He said that Philly-dork is coming! You better hide Gracia!" and with that Gracia and Kiko hided behind one of the big boxes again.
In that moment the door explodes because of Phill's strong punch. "AIR JAY!!!!!" he screamed entering the ware house "WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!?!?!?!?!"
"Yo Philly-dork, you are late, where were you? Cleaning your knees after all the begging you have done to me?" taunted Air Jay.
"WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!?!?!?" Phill screamed again.
"Well…. The funny thing just happen to me, while I was beating all your troops, that little weasel escape me." Air Jay lie.
"Who are you calling weasel you talking hairball?" Gracia murmured very low.
Phill sighed in relive "Thank goodness she is alright." Then he glares at Air Jay. "But this time I am going to make sure that you'll never interfere with my life again. This was supposed to be a happy moment for my daughter. It is her celebration for her future husband, Prince Grason, and so doing it she would…."
"And what if your daughter doesn't want to marry that fool?" Air Jay interrupted.
"SHUT UP!!!" Phill demanded. "Who do you think you are to know why Gracia wants? I am her father, I know what she wants! And I now she wants to bring peace to our people, she wants to become a big justice heroine!"
"Say's you! You are really such a dork Phill. You think you know your daughter, but you don't. In fact you can't even beat me."
"I SAID SHUT UP!!!" Phill Shouted very loud. "I am a justice hero! I have justice on her grasp and the might of right, something that an evildoer like you will never have!"
"What time is it when an elephant sits on a fence?" Air Jay asked.
"What?"
"What time is it when an elephant sits on a fence?"
"It is time to buy a new fence!" Phill responded. "It is a worthless riddle much older than my grandmother, something that every one knows."
"Bingo! And every one knows you can't beat me. For year my family has always been much superior than yours, we made countless attacks on Seilune and we always made you people look like idiots. And here I am today; making you people look like idiots. You have put an enormous bounty on my head, but all the bounty hunters I have faced were defeated or destroyed by me, and at the same time I laugh on your face because your falling attends on stopping me. It doesn't matter how many people you send after me or how many times you fight me, I will always come out on the top!" Air Jay said with a grin. "You are just like a riddle which the answer is known….worthless!"
Phill breathed heavily because of all of Air Jay's comments. "I hate you! I HATE YOU!!!!"
In that moment someone bashes Phill's head with a big rock, knocking Phill out. It is his daughter Gracia. "How about we just stop the fight and we get out of here!"
"Oh come on Gracia, I was about to kick his butt!" Air Jay moaned.
"You are getting to much attention to your self. And it is best that we get out of here!" Gracia replied.
"(She's right you know…)" Kiko agreed.
"Alright……let's go!"
------
Phill wakes up to find himself in one of the infirmaries of the castle. "Where am I? What happen? Where is Air Jay? And where is my daughter?"
"You daughter is alright sir, your wife said that she is on her house right outside the city." Responded one of Phill's advisers. "And Air Jay we don't know where he is, I believed that he got away.
"My daughter is alive….thank goodness." Phill sighed in relieve. "Maybe we can still continue with the celebration…..."
"I'm sorry sir but that can not be accomplished." The adviser interrupted.
"What? What are you talking about?"
"King Hunlet, his son and all his troops has left the city while you were out cold, your majesty. He cancelled the weeding, saying that he will never come out of his kingdom again and promising that he will have no attempt on attacking Seilune again. But King Hunlet seems very scare, like if someone has threatened his life."
"Air Jay!!!! Phill growled. "No…no…NO!!! I don't believe this, he ruin my daughters happiness again!!!" and he get out of bed and walks to the wall and he punches it. "I will get you Air Jay! I will get you not even if it is the last thing I do!"
------
From a secret passage way near the infirmary, Kiko, Air Jay and Gracia hear everything that it was said in there.
"YES!!!" whispered Gracia in delight "The weeding is off!"
"And can you believe him? he said that he will get me. What a moron!" Air Jay mocked.
"Well we better get out of here and go back to my mother." Gracia said as she closes the passage way with them inside it. "Let's go!"
"Alright, which way is it?" Air Jay asked, with a hand lighting in flames and pointing at three doors behind him.
"Huh?" Gracia blinked when she saw the doors. "Well…..it's on ……well…..I don't know!"
Air Jay sweat dropped. "You don't know? This is your castle; you should know this place inside out!"
"Alright jackass, then you tells me which door we should use?" Gracia dared.
"I don't know! I wouldn't be asking you if I did!"
"You attacked this city a dozen times and you sill don't know how to get in the secret passages?"
"Nope……"
"Idiot!"
"AUUUU!( Shut up you two and follow me!)" Kiko barked and started to walk right into the second door. "(I just wonder why I always have to put up with these two idiots in the last moment!)"
"Cool, let's go!" Air Jay was about to follow Kiko when Gracia grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Hold on here Air Jay! How come every time we get lost in the secret passage ways we are always depending on that dog?"
"Because he has a much better nose than us! When ever in doubt ask a dog. " Air Jay said with a goofy smile.
"What ever…" Gracia said with a sweat droop.
"Now come on, let follow him." Air Jay said as he holds Gracia's hand, and walks right behind Kiko leading Gracia with him.
Gracia blushed with Air Jay holding her hand and being lead by him. This isn't the first time that this happens, it is practically a very normal thing every time she and Air Jay get together and decides to put a prank on Prince Phill and they end up hiding in one of the passages ways in the castle, and in all those times they were always guided by Kiko and in all those times Air Jay always led her like this, and all those times Gracia blushes. "Why do I always blush when Air Jay does this to me? Do……do I like him? No way, he's just my best friends and that's all!" she looks back at Air Jay who is still leading her all the way to the exit. "I still remember the first time I saw him, he was so cold and sad, the look of his eyes was the scariest thing I ever saw in my life, the eyes of a real demon, but he changed since my mother defeated him. Ever since that day he secretly became part of my family, and always supported me without any question. He says he's evil but there is good side on him that no one can find"
"Yo Gracia, we are here!" Air Jay said, interrupting Gracia's thoughts.
"What? Oh yeah, right!"
-----
A few minutes later, Kiko, Gracia and Air Jay arrived to Gracia's house right out side of the city.
"So how did it go?" asked Sylvinia.
"It was fantastic mother! The wedding is officially off!" Gracia responded excitedly.
"And I embarrassed Philly-dork again!" Air Jay added.
"(And I had to lead them trough the secret passage way again.)" Kiko added.
Sylvinia shakes her head "Oh my…… you two are always creating a big mess every time you get together."
"Who, us?" Gracia and Air Jay asked, innocently.
"Well, anyway, I think it is time for me to go." Air Jay said. "I probably have some of the Seilune soldiers after me and I don't want them finding me here."
Gracia looks at him a little disappointed. "You're leaving? So soon?"
"Hey come on baby, don't give me that sad look. I'll be back, I always come back."
"You promise?"
" Está prometido. (I promise!)
"Huh?" Gracia hates when Air Jay talks to her in Portuguese, she doesn't understand that language. "Right, hey Air Jay, Está prometido!"
"Está prometido!" replied Air Jay as he open up a window and picks up Kiko.
" E não te esqueças da tua promessa Air Jay.(And Air Jay, don't forguet your promise)" Sylvinia reminded.
Air Jay looks at her with a confuse look, he wonder why she made him keep that promise. "Claro (Sure.)" After saying that he jumped out of the window with Kiko in his arm and started to fly away.
"Mom, what does Está prometido means?" Gracia asked.
"It means I promise´!" Sylvinia responded. "Now come, I said I had something to show you.
Gracia and Sylvinia entered Sylvinia's room. Gracia founded very curious when her mother wanted to talk to her, she could only wonder what it could be.
Sylvinia grabs the head of a small statue and twists it, and a secrete door opens. Revealing a mannequin wearing an old sorceresses cloth.
Gracia watched the clouts, more closely and sees that it a leather suit, a dark cape, a skull necklace and spiky shoulder guards, and the suit was too….showy. "Mother what is this?"
"This was the suit I have worn in my times as a sorceress!" Sylvinia responded look at her old cloths.
"But it is too showy!"
Sylvinia looks back at her oldest daughter with a smile. "I have noticed something in you, Gracia, you were not fit to become a princess, you like to be free like a bird and fly around the world in your own free will, you want to study black magic despise the fact that your father forces you to study white magic and you have the intense desire to see what the outside world can offer you, I am sure that Amelia will soon be like that as well. That is why I made a decision, I am going to complete your training so that you, and your sister in time, can become a very powerful sorceress, and when your training is complete you can travel around the world, and make people shout your name as high as you can, make yourself well known around the world. I can see that this is what you want."
Gracia almost had tears of joy in her eyes. "You….you will make me stronger, mother? You will help me get out of this kingdom? Yes! I will be the most powerful, the most beautiful most outstanding sorceress in the world! I will make every one bow to my power! I will have no rival! OH OH OHOHOHOHOHO!!!!"
Sylvinai sweat dropped. "Gracia, what is it with the laugh?"
"It is cool isn't it?"
Sylvina just giggled at her daughter and picks up the skull necklace of the suit and puts it on her daughter's neck. "When you are ready to travel I will give you my old cloths to you Gracia."
"You are? But those cloths are a bit showy!"
"Yes, I had that same sensation when I first saw them but it has become one of the things I treasure in this world. Your grandmother has given it to me when I was about your age. This cloths were pass down to each member of the family for centuries, it was in ancient times when this typical of dressing was a fashion among sorceress."
That tale was enough to make Gracia have a different point of view on the suit. "Alright, and besides this suit will demonstrate my beauty."
"That's the spirit." Sylvinia said, taping Gracia on her shoulder. "Let it give you good fortune in the most difficult times, and if you ever get hurt or if you feel that you are going down, remember that the souls and the spirits will always be there to guide you and bring you courage, and so will I."
Gracia nodded her head and hugged her mother. "Thank you, Mother…."
Sylvinia didn't say anything yet, she just hugged her daughter back.
-----
Midnight.
Kiko and Air Jay walks down the wood, trying to find a place to sleep. And Air Jay remained in silence for quite some time; he wonders why is it that Sylvinia made him keep the promise of protecting her two daughters? It is like she predicting that something will happen. Can it be because of Christopher? It can't be, Air Jay has scared him so bad that he won't probably do anything against Sylvinia's daughters, still Air Jay thought that it would be much wiser to warn Sylvinia about what Christopher was planning, but still why did Sylvinia made Air Jay keep such a promise?
"(Air Jay, I am hungry!!!)" moaned Kiko.
Air Jay sweat dropped. "You are always hungry, have you noticed that?"
"(Don't forget that the animal's stomach is much different than the humans!)"
Air Jay just sighed. "What an unbelievable dog …."
Suddenly Kiko stops, looking on his left side.
"What is it Kiko?" Air Jay asked.
"(I hear some noise….and I smell food! Tons and tons of food!)" With out waiting Kiko ran to the direction to where the noise and food came from, Air Jay had no choice but to follow him.
What they found was a bandit camp, which seemed to be having a big party and celebration.
"(So are we going in?)" Kiko asked telepathically.
"Why not? There was never a party I enjoy crashing!" said Air Jay with a big smirk and both he and Kiko walked directly to the bandit's camp.
"Celebrate! Let us celebrates my bandit brothers!" shouted the bandit leader who is an old man with an eye patch. "Tonight is a night to be remembered! So let us shake this ground to make the entire world realize that we are the strongest!"
All the bandits cheered for their leader, continuing to eat meat and drinking tons of beer.
"Boss, boss, look who is there!" said one the bandits, pointing at Kiko and Air Jay who just arrived.
Kiko immediately jumped to the table starting to devour all the food that he can find.
"Hey you miserable mutt, get away from our….OUCH!!" one of the bandits were about to grab Kiko, but Air Jay punched the bandit right on the nose. "MY NOSE….MY NOSE…."
Other bandits unleashed their swords ready to attack Air Jay but none of them made a move, they have heard a lot of stories about this kid, some say that he is a real insensitive killer that does not hesitate to kill all his preys by burning them until they are nothing more, and some even say that he is immortal because no matter how many times you cut his hands or legs they can always regenerate them by using fire.
"Aren't you morons going to attack me?" Air Jay asked while eating a chicken wing. "Come on I need victims!"
"Now calm down here!" ordered the bandit leader walking to Air Jay. "This is a big celebration for all the bandits every where. Even a bandit like you Air Jay can……."
Air Jay interrupted the Bandit Leader by grabbing him by the neck. "Don't ever call me a Bandit! You bandits are weaklings! I prefer to be call a outlaw, and I not just any outlaw, I am the king of outlaws so you will address me with respect our you can kiss your head good bye!" after saying that Air Jay throws the bandit leader to the ground and resumes eating. "Now shut up and let me eat!"
The bandit leader got up to his feet, keeping a safe distance from Air Jay. "You are lucky, we have a lot to celebrate because Prince Phill will finally die tonight!"
That information caught Air Jay and Kiko's attention. "What are you talking about?"
"My gang was hired by a member by the Seilune Family to kill Phill and his two daughters but only leave his wife alive. And at this very moment, my three sons, Booley, Jooley and Looley are at the castle ready to murder Phill once and for all."
"WHAT?!?!" Air Jay screamed. "Kill Phill's kids?"
"(Oh my gosh!)" Kiko screamed telepathically. "(It has to be Christopher! He wanted to kill Phil and his kids so that he could keep Sylvinia for himself! He must have had a backup plan in case you refused his offer!)"
Even Air Jay was deeply worried, he thought that he had scare Christopher the enough to make him give up his assassination plans, but he was wrong. Air Jay really starts to regret about leaving Seilune in a time like this. "And how do you know your sons will succeed?"
"For two reasons: One our informer has gave us information about one secret passage way inside the castle; and number two, my sons have made six killing jobs and they never failed. I am quite sure of their success and we will all receive our reward!" The Bandit leader responded and he notices that Air Jay's fist is shaking.
"I can't believe this, I'm so stupid!" Air Jay shouted in his mind. "I should have killed Christopher when I had the chance, now Gracia and Amelia's life are on the line here!"
"Now come on now my friend, join our celebration with us!" The Bandit Leader said passing a bottle of wine to Air Jay. "Every one knows about your hatred for Phill, so I'm sure that even you can appreciate what we are accomplishing here." In the moment the bottle of wine burned right on the Leader's hands, making him cry in pain and fear because of what just happen.
Air Jay looks at the Bandit leader with dangerous eyes. "True….I hate Phill with every fibber of my existence because he killed my entire family. But there is one thing I can not stand is the fact that someone is trying to steal my job on torturing Phill, that is something I can never forgive!" Air Jay lifts his hand wide up creating a big explosion destroying the bandits camp and killing every last one of them.
In all that fire and smoke emerge Air Jay and Kiko, running like crazy directly to the city of Seilune.
"Kiko, hurry! Create a portal to teleport us to the castle!" Air Jay ordered. "We have to get those guys before they kill Gracia and Amelia!"
"(Roger that! I just hope we're not too late)" And Kiko starts to concentrate to make a portal.
And the portal appears right in front of Air Jay and Kiko and these two jumped to it.
"I won't let Christopher destroy my second family!" Air Jay said in his mind as he entered into the portal with Kiko.
