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.

Maliska: only Air Jay and Kiko belong to us.

Alandra: we hope that you people can enjoy this new fic.

Chapter 6

------

The fight between Lina and Air Jay was truthfully devastating, everyone alleged that Lina would lose but she managed to turn the tables on the fight by summoning her inter power in her that certified her victory against the Portuguese outlaw. She used the Dragon Slave against him, pulverising Air jay's body into dust until there was no more trace of his existence. In that moment there were many celebrating Air Jay's decease but little do they know that he is still alive.

------

Naga walks down the woods directly to the city where Lina and Air Jay have fought with the intentions on finding him. After Lina defeated Air Jay, Naga went to the house where she and her swordsman are to collect a piece of Lina's hair sample, now Naga is going to the abandoned city to collect some of Air Jay's hair sample like Zurten wanted.

She is also planning on convincing Air Jay to help her on her quest for the magical crystal that Zurten mentioned because it seems that an invincible army is also after the crystal, an army very powerful and very well known, and for that Naga will need some help. In the beginning she was going to ask Lina's help but seeing how she was so worry about Gourry she won't be concentrated the enough for this task and most simply she will refuse it. "Who would ever think that Love would change Lina so much…..I would really love to mock her right on the face. The guy must be a real idiot for falling for a flat chest girl like Lina. OOOOHOHOHOHOHOH!!!!" She laughed but puts on a serious face. "I will have no choice but to ask for Air Jay's help." She didn't want to ask for assistance from the same man who betrayed her and shattered her mother, but considering the hazards she will soon face she will need a powerful partner, so she has no choice but to ask for Air Jay's help and when the mission is completed she can finish Air Jay once and for all.

A few minutes later she could already see the city where Air jay and Lina fought, the entire place is completely destroyed and smoke still rizes from every part of the city. Suddenly Naga hears a noise in the woods, she walks cautiously to the direction where she heard the noise and immediately hides behind a tree when she saw who it is. She sees Kiko walking around, holding a flaming stick on his mouth, and the flames on that stick is taking a human form. Naga immediately understands that it is Air Jay regenerating from his devastating lost against Lina, in the beginning she knew that Air Jay would come back, Naga is one of the few people that knows that Air Jay possesses the blood of the phoenix on his veins, thanks to that blood Air jay can regenerate his body every times he suffers a cut or a body part in the fights, it is thanks to that blood that Air Jay is almost immortal and thanks to that blood that he managed to survive the Dragon Slave.

Naga followed Kiko until he reached a cave near a ravine, possibly to allow Air Jay to finish his regeneration. "Alright, now as soon as Air Jay is fully up again I will convince him to help me on……now wait a minute, how am I going to convince him to help me?" Naga asked her self and then sits on the ground. "I just can not go in there and demand him to help me, he won't accept it that way, I'm sure of it. I need to find a way to make Air Jay own me one, but how?"

In that moment a bandit appears. "Alright you, give me your money!"

Naga smirked when the bandit appeared. "Bingo!"

-----

After his regeneration was complete Air Jay begin to dress some cloths that Kiko has magically made for him.

"(I still can not believe it that that girl, Lina Inverse defeated you Air Jay!)" Kiko said telepathically. "(It seems that we have really misjudged her, it appears that she is much more prevailing then what we have heard from the rumours.)"

Kiko's words only made Air Jay remember the fight he had with Lina and her companion, in the beginning it seems that victory was only smiling on Air Jay but Lina surprised everyone by showing her true power and reducing Air Jay into nothing but a amateur.

"AAAAH!!!!!" Air Jay screamed very loud when he remembered the part when he was hit by the Dragon Slave, never in his life his body received such a terrible pain. He then starts to punch the walls on the cave, releasing all his anger and frustration on those punches. "That darn witch! She made fun of me all this time! I hate that flat chest girl!" After releasing all his frustration Air Jay sits down on the ground with a defeated sigh.

"(Feel any better?)

"Not really!" Air Jay responded as he puts his hands on his head. "It was completely bizarre! I couldn't do anything against her, she had a power that when far beyond me! How she can be so strong? What is her secret? I am the strongest man in the world!"

"(It is like I said, we underestimated our foe!)" Kiko responded as she scratched his ear with one of his paws.

Air Jay then looks up with a big smirk on his face. "Never the less I found a valuable adversary, an adversary that forces me to go far beyond my level." He then gets up. "I can hardly wait to face Lina once again!"

Kiko looks at Air Jay like if he had just turn into a maniac. "(You want to face her again? Even after the beating she gave you?)"

"Yes! Even if I lost I felt some how alive inside. I finally understood how it is to face an adversary with a power that can equal yours! For the very first time in my life I feel so alive and so excited with a fight, I must face her once more; I could never live with myself if I didn't fight her again!"

Kiko sighed, the Portuguese are really stubborn. "(Still you can not face her right now, he you go after her now she will beat again!)"

"I know, I know. I will attack her by surprise since I still have the element of surprise!"

"(And we need information!)" Kiko said as he scratched his other ear. "(If you go into battle against Lina without information she will surly beat you again.)"

"That is true, but where am I going to find someone who knows Lina very well? Where can I find some who knows her weakness and strong points?"

"AIR JAY!!!!" screamed a voice from out side, which caught Air Jay and Kiko's attention.

"What it's going on here?" Air Jay asked. "I thought that every one believed that I was dead!"

"Auuuuu!( so did I!)" barked Kiko.

Air jay wasted no more time and walks out side to see a bandit riding an enormous Gollem. "Now there's something new. What do you want, jackass?" he asked with a smirk.

"I want to collect the bounty on your head! So will you come peacefully or must I destroy you with my Gollen?" asked the bandit, the same bandit that was going to attack Naga.

"OOOOHOHOHOHOHOH!" and speaking of her, she stands on the top of a tree with her cape floating because of the wind. "Hold it right there bandit! I don't know who you are but your luck just got to worst now that you come across with me, Naga the Serpent, a remarkable sorceress with an unequal power!"

"What's she doing?" asked the bandit to himself. "She said that she wasn't going to interfere, unless she tricked me!"

"(Who is that woman?)" Kiko asked, then he turns to Air Jay to see him drooling.

"MAN, OH MAN, OH MAN, OH MAN! Look at the size of her chest!!! It's huge!!! And look at those legs!!! And most of all look at that sweet butt!" Air Jay said with his pervert eyes looking at every inch of Naga's body. "Man I am in dreamland!"

Kiko sighed "(Why must he always have to act this way when ever he sees a woman with big chest?)"

"Stay out of this woman! This is my justnepst, so stay out and tree!" demanded the bandit

"It is this is my business, so stay out and leave´." Naga teased. "You are really such an idiot aren't you?"

The bandit just growled with Naga's insult. "What did you say?"

"I have no more time to waist on a fool like you. MEGA BRANDA!" Naga shouted and an enormous explosion occurred right under the bandit's feet, destroying the golem and making the bandit fly to the air, landing to who knows where.

Kiko was amazed. "(Uau, did you saw that?)" He asked to Air Jay, but he looks up to see that Air Jay is still paying attention to a certain part of Naga's body that it is jiggling. "(Will you stop!)"

Air Jay wakes up to reality by shaking his head. "I'm sorry. I can't help my self, it is a sickness, a sickness I LOVE!"

Kiko sweat dropped. "(You're hopeless.)"

In that moment Naga lands right near Air jay, she tries to act calm for she stands right in front of the man who killed her mother and controlling her desire to eliminate him, she looks at him with her usual face. "So……you're the one named Air Jay?" she asked in a smooth voice. "I was expecting someone of your reputation to be less….. hairy."

"But it's me baby! The big bad Air Jay!" he replied in the same smooth voice. "And who might you be sugar baby? I hope you are not another annoying bounty hunter."

"Hump! Don't insult me! I am not bounty hunter, I am the one the magnificent, the powerful Naga the Serpent! Surly you must have heard of me!"

"Not at all!"

"WHAT!?!?! Not even…." Naga stop talking when she noticed that someone is sniffing her. She sees Kiko smelling her legs. "Hey, do you mind stop your dog to sniff me?"

"Hey Kiko, come here!" Air Jay walked to catch Kiko, but he ends up tripping against a rock, which made him lose his balance and landed his face right between Naga's chests.

"AUUUUUUU!!! (NOT AGAIN!!!)" Kiko howled.

Naga's face turns red with fury. "You…….DAMN PERVERT!!!!" and punches him on the face so hard that made him fly directly to the cave.

"AI LÀ VOU EU!!! (There I go!) " Air Jay screamed and bashes against the end of the cave, ending ups stuck in the wall upside down. "Man, that girl has some punch!"

"I can not believe it!" Naga thought with her eyes twitching. "Even after all these years he still does this to me? How I hate him……"

-------

Kiko walks to the end of the cave to find Air Jay still stuck on the wall upside down. "(Why do you always do this?)"

"Hey, this time was really an accident!" Air Jay protested.

"(Yeah sure…)"

"Really, it was an accident!"

"(What ever. So what are we going to do with this woman? Don't you think it is strange that she just appeared when that bandit was going to attack us?)"

Air Jay smirked and gets out of the wall. "I have noticed, she probably set this all up to try to convince me on something. Maybe she is someone I have met in the past."

"(Alright, but that girl seems quite familiar. She seems familiar but what it is really strange is that she doesn't smell familiar. I am quite sure I've seen her face before.)"

"Really? She didn't sound familiar to me….."

"(That's because you weren't looking at her face!)"

-------

Naga is still sitting on a rock inside the cave, waiting for Air Jay. "I must go more carefully for now on." She thought. "It is a good thing that I've put a special spell on me to hide my small so that Kiko wouldn't find out that I am Gracia, because if he did he would probably tell Air Jay and I know that Kiko and Air Jay can communicate with each other. Still my must continue to act cool to prevent Air Jay from ever finding out who I am."

She then hears a noise and sees that Air Jay is finally showing up.

"You Pac quite a punch here baby!" Air Jay said with one hand on the place where he was hit.

"Of course, I am the mighty Naga the Serpent!" replied Naga with an almighty tone. "This is what you get by trying to act pervert on me!"

In that moment Air Jay finally looks more attention at Naga's face for the first time. "Kiko is right, she does seem familiar. Where have I meet her before?" he thought.

"Alright now, lets quite the chit chat and let's talk business!" Naga said.

Air Jay smirked. "Already getting to the point, Huh?"

"I am a very direct woman! Now listen up here Air Jay, I want you to help me recover a magical object!"

I knew it, she is the one who set this all up, Air Jay thought. "And why should I help you, baby?"

"Because, you own me!" Naga reminded.

"I own you? Since when?"

"What are you an idiot? I saved you from that bandit with the golem! So that means that you own me a lot!"

"Yo, yo, yo! Wait up here baby! I never need your help in the first place. The day I get beat by an insignificant bandit the chickens will have teethes! You are the one who bust in and defeated that bozo." Air Jay said and he lies down on the ground.

"Nevertheless you still own me!"

"Sorry baby, until you give me a good reason why I should help you I won't do it!"

Naga cursed Air Jay for being so stubborn, looks like she will have to put out the big guns. "And what is I say if that the magical object that I am trying to find can help you defeat Lina Inverse?"

That one really caught Air Jay attention, so he got up and looks back at Naga. "How did you know that I was defeated by Lina?"

"OOOHOHOHOHOH!" Naga laughed. "The words are out there on the streets, every one is celebrating your demise´ and saying how Lina destroyed you. I on the other hand didn't quite believed that Lina could defeat you she is too incompetent."

"(That laugh….I heard that laugh before…… but where?)" Kiko thought with his paws covering his ears.

"Girl, don't laugh like that!!!" Air Jay screamed with his hand covering his ears.

"The name is Naga!"

"Alright, Naga…….but tell me this, Naga, you seem to know Lina quite well by the way you are talking about her."

"Of course I know her, she was my sidekick!" Naga said with a grin.

Air Jay lifted his eyebrow, showing that he's not buying that. "Sidekick?"

Naga glared at him. "Alright, Alright, she was my rival! We use to travel together for quite some time and we defeated every foe that stands in our way, we fought many times but sadly she always defeated me. That's why I am after the magical object, so that I can defeat her once and for all!"

Air Jay didn't say a thing, he just thought for a moment about this. "And how long have you travelled with Lina."

"For a year or so, but I lost her trail about four years ago." Naga responded.

She's been with Lina for a year now, that's not bad she might be useful to me, Air Jay thought. "And why do you want to share the power of this magical object with me? I believe that there is some one very powerful guarding the thing, no?"

Naga cursed Air Jay for sometimes being so intelligent. "Hump, you got me there boy. The object is a crystal that it is well guarded in an island, but in the last few months the island was occupied by a powerful army who is also looking for the crystal, that is why I'll need your help."

Air Jay starts to wonder what is so special about that crystal for everyone looking for it. "And what can this crystal do?"

"Alright Air Jay, listen! That crystal ball is very powerful it is known as the Unknown Crystal and It has an especial capacity, the ball can ingress a persons power, reaching to a very high level that no mere mortal can accomplish. It past times the humans used the crystal against the dark lord Shabrimingo himself, but Shabrimingo seized the crystal and hide it into a secret place where it might never be used against him, and that place is the island that I told you. The crystal is so powerful that not even the dark lord himself could destroy it."

Air Jay and Kiko had their eyes wide open, even they know the stories about Shabrimingo and they know how powerful the king of Mazokus is.

"Shabri-what's-his-name could not destroy the crystal……" Air Jay repeated. "That means that the crystal is must powerful than him. So that Crystal can enlarge our powers, making us much stronger than Lina! I like it! So all we have to do is find the Crystal and go after Lina!"

"Not so fast!" Naga interrupted. "We will need to take the crystal to my client first, it seems that he knows how to work the damn thing."

"Raios! (Damn it!)" Air Jay cursed. "Well no matter, as long as I can get my rematch with Lina."

"Hey! Get on the line pal, I was there first!" Naga objected.

"Well I am the bad guy sugar!"

"And that has to do with everything because……"

"Because yes!"

"You are an idiot!"

"WHAT?"

"OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!"

"Não te rias!"

"Speak English!"

"I said don't laugh!"

"OOOHOHOHOHOHOH! No one tell Naga the Serpent what to do!"

"Alright but stop laughing!"

"You mean this? OHOHOHOHOHOHO!"

Kiko sighed. "(This will not be a good alliance.)"

"JAYSON ANDRADE!!!" shouted a voice from outside the cave.

"Huh?" that was all that Air Jay could say.

Naga blinked in confusion when she heard the voice calling out Air Jay. Jayson Andrade is Air Jay's old name, the same name that her mother was always calling him, only Naga and her late mother knows about Air Jay's real name so she wonder who else knows about it. Naga looks at Air Jay and notices the grin on his face. "What is going on here?"

Air Jay looks back at Naga. "Nothing special baby, it's just someone I'm hire to kill."

"Huh? Who is it?"

Air Jay did not responded her and looks down at Kiko. "Lets go Kiko!"

"(Yes, let's finish this once and for all!)" Kiko said telepathically and starts to follow Air Jay.

"And you better wait here Naga, this is a personal matter!" Air Jay said as he continues to walk.

"Just what is going on here?" Naga asked to herself. "Who ever this guy is he better not ruin my plans!"

As soon as Air Jay was out of the cave he looks up to the man who called him out with a grin. "So we finally meet face to face, Xellos Metalium!"

Xellos looks at Air Jay with a grin of his own. "How true."

To be continued……

Sunny: Air Jay is really a pervert, isn't he?

Ramon: and now why is Xellos there?

Maliska: more big stuff on the way!
