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 16
------
Aviar just stared at Lim and Brunou, they seemed hurt and bruised by their little mission. "So tell me…..did the child give you any problem?" Aviar asked in a very sinister and angry tone of voice.
"N-no….Lord Aviar……" Brunou and Lim responded in a wavering voice.
"Then maybe you can explain to me why you failed?"
"The…dog…."Lim responded.
"Yes…the dog is too powerful!" Brunou added.
"Oh really….." Aviar puts his hands on the shoulders of Brunou and Lim. "It seems to me that you two had a very easy mission and you failed!" Aviar grabs them by their necks and lift them in the air with a furious voice. "You failed miserably and there are no places for trash in my army!" Aviar throws them to the ground.
"Please sir, have mercy!!!!" Lim begged.
"What Gine said about the dog is true! The dog is too much powerful for any mere man to defeat him! We are all battered and injured because of that canine!" Brunou said trying to reason with his leader.
"SILENCE!!!!" Aviar demanded. "Failure has endless excuses while victory needs none!"
Lim and Brunou never stop shaking because of Aviar anger, they feel that their end is near.
But Aviar forces himself to calm down. "You two are so lucky that I will need you right now, otherwise I would have killed you in an instant. So I decided to give you two idiot's one last chance. I have sent the last three members of the twelve leaders to three of the four watch towers of the island and you two are going to the tower of the east, I want you to use those towers to find Air Jay and Naga. Find them and bring them to me! I will give you one day to find them, if you fail I will cut out your heads just like I cut out Kunt and Kama's head! Understood?"
Brunou and Lim never stopped shaking, they just simply shake their heads, that is all that they can do. Never in their lives have they been traumatized like this, especially when their lives have been threatened like this. They have no choice but to accept this mission, their lives are on the line here.
"Good! Now get out of my sight!" Aviar ordered and Brunou and Lim left Avaiar's chambers.
Aviar then heard some chuckles from behind him, he turns around to see Orland right behind him. "What do you want? You are really pushing your luck, Orland."
Orland chuckled some more. "Oh spare me of your threats, you may frighten your people but it takes a long way to frighten me. Never the less I am quite curious…… Air Jay and Naga have humiliated you terribly…..so I am surprised why aren't you after them yourself, you are quite powerful Aviar."
Aviar did not say a word, he simply walked to the door. "I have no explanations to give to you Orland! I am the supreme commander of the Aviar Army, my word is the law!" after saying that Aviar left his chambers.
Orland just chuckled some more. "You are scare Aviar, very scare……"
------
After the visit to the Aviar Army's camp, the Trio, Ashley and little Emily returned back to the rebel's secret camp to reveal all that has happen last night.
"You're serious?" Vitty asked in disbelieve, and she is not the only one, every one is amazed and shocked with the news. "Naga and Air Jay humiliated the supreme commander of the Aviar Army? Make him look like a fool?"
"But why didn't you take the chance to destroy him for good?" Jam asked. "You had all the advantage to kill him and restore peace to our island!"
Neither Naga and Air Jay said a word, none of them wanted to say that they ran away because Naga fainted for the mere sight of blood.
"Because yes! Do you have a problem, boy?" Air Jay asked with a threatening tone.
No, no, of course not!" Jam responded, putting both his hands up.
Kiko was surprised again, Air Jay never protected the dignity of anyone before but he stand up to hide the fact that Naga fainted and by the looks of Ashley's eyes and quietness he must have told her to be quiet about this situation.
"Look, we can not worry about that right now; we have to be concern about defeating the Aviar Army." Ashley said, changing the subject.
"I am very confident that we can win!" Vitty admitted. "Air Jay and Naga are just toying with them like if they are nothing but toys."
"That is true, but there is something that has been bothering me since last night. Aviar admitted that our island is protected by the kingdom of Seilune!"
Every one was shocked with the news.
"You are joking? Then why is it that the Seilune forces don't come to our island and help us?" Jam asked.
"Because it's been only a few mounts since Seilune have send their ships to the new world." Naga responded. "It is quite obvious that Seilune is using all their troops to travel around the world to make new discoveries and to make contacts and deals with other countries from the new world!"
"But that is ludicrous!" Ashley shouted. "I think it is more important to help the places they have sworn to protect than making agreements with other nations!"
"Maybe they don't know the conditions of our island!" Vitty said.
"Yeah!" Jam agreed. "I could send one of my pidgins to Seilune with a message, they are very well trained and they can survive a journey here to Seilune."
"Even if your pidgin arrives to Seilune I am sure they will not help you guys." Air Jay assured.
"Why's that?" Ashley demanded.
"Don't forget that I have attacked Seilune many times in the pass and Phill sacrificed many soldiers to get me and last years Seilune was almost conquered by two Mazokus, this scares the ministers of Seilune. And don't forget that Aviar was once the top General of Seilune, he knows very well all the battle tactics of Seilune in a blink of an eye and the ministers know that. They know that if Phill ever gets the message he will naively send his troops to this island and they shall be smashed in a blink of an eye. So their best option is to ignore it!"
"Unbelievable!!!" Ashley screamed. "We are left on our own."
"We shall deal with that problem later Ashley, we have other problems!" Jam informed. "Or spies told us that the Aviar Army is taking control of the four watch towers!"
"Watch towers?" Naga asked.
"Remember when we told you guys that our people saw the Aviar Army invade us from the watch towers? Those towers were made a long time ago and they are the heights spots in our island, they are set in four different places and it those exact places you can catch a good look of the entire island." Jam explained.
Naga puts her hand on her chin. "I see, the Aviar army are going to use those towers to find us and then send message to their master."
"The Aviar Army have taken control of the towers when they invaded us but they never used the towers before because they didn't give us any credit. You guys must have irritated Aviar a lot for him to finally use the towers." Vitty exclaimed.
"So all we have to do is simple. We just have to destroy the towers!" Air Jay said very simply.
"No way!" Ashley snapped "those towers have existed in our island right before we were ever born. They are an historical monument!"
Air Jay grabs Ashley by her jaw. "Remember, we are the leaders, what we say it's what you must do!" Air Jay said in a sinister voice as he lifts Ashley up
"Air Jay, that's enough!" Naga shouted as she grabs Air Jay arm and forces him to release Ashley. Naga then looks back at Ashley. "I am afraid that Air Jay is right, we can't let our enemies seize control of the towers, so we must destroy them!"
"But wait! When can't we just simply take control of the towers ourselves?" Jam suggested. "You two are so powerful that you can defeat the ones that are guarding the towers"
"And then what? Who do we send to guard the towers?"
"You guys?" Air Jay asked in a tone like he's making fun of them. "You guys don't even stand a chance against the Aviar Army so how do you think that you'll be able to guard the towers from them?"
No one responded, they hate to admit it but Air Jay is right.
Ashley got up to her feet after almost being strangled by Air Jay. "I hate to say it people but Air Jay and Naga are right, the four towers are just a small price to pay for defeating the Aviar Army." She said in a defeated tone. "I'm afraid we have no choice."
"Alright then. Air Jay and I will go to the towers ourselves and destroy them." Naga said.
"Are you people sure?" Ashley asked. "You guys have already defeated nine members of the top twelve leaders, only three remains and I am sure that they will be there to guard the towers. Aviar is no fool and I am sure he will guard the towers properly."
"Cool, maybe we can have a challenge at last." Air Jay said excitedly. "Let's go Naga and Kiko!"
"Alright!" Naga said as she picks up the map showing where the four towers are.
Ashley was about to say something but it was too late because the trio already left. "It is unbelievable, these guys are so infuriating!"
------
Four minutes after leaving the rebels camp Naga. Air Jay and Kiko make their way to the towers with a map.
"Alright….We go to the north tower first, it is only a few miles away from here." Naga suggested.
Air Jay did not respond her; he's been waiting to ask this question. "Naga what happen to you last night?"
"What do you mean?"
"Last night, when you saw Aviar killing his two subordinates you fainted. What happen to you?"
"Why poor simple minded Air Jay, that was a tactic I used to get Aviar out of his tracks and to get him out of his defense." Naga lied. "You really lack intelligence here Air Jay for not noticing the obvious."
Air Jay did not believe her. "Naga, I am not buying it! I saw how traumatized you were when you saw Aviar killing his men. What happen to you?"
Naga stop in her tacks. "It is nothing!"
"Come one Naga, tell me!"
"Why the heck you want to know?" Naga snapped turning to Air Jay. "You are a cruel monster, even worst than Aviar, you were possibly going to kill Ashley if I didn't stop you. So why do you want to know?"
"Naga please….tell me!" Air Jay pleaded. Never in his life had Air Jay ever pleaded to any one, but the way he saw Naga last night really worried him, he wants to help her.
The tone in Air Jay's voice seems so different, Naga knows that her incapability to see blood is all because of the man who stands right in front of her, but the how he spoke broke the hatred in Naga's heart for a moment. She turns her back to Air Jay, she doesn't want to see his face right now but decided to respond to him. "I hate blood, I have a bad history with it….that's all you need to know." She responds with an soft and sincere voice and walks away.
Air Jay said nothing more and follows Naga.
Kiko only watched the entire scene, the relation ship between Air Jay and Naga are almost similar to what they have years ago when they were kids, the only difference is that Air Jay doesn't realise that Naga is Gracia and Naga still must be thinking that Air Jay killed her mother, he just wonders how everything will work out in the end when these two know the truth.
-----
Thirty minutes later the arrive to the tower of the north, it is right behind a ravine next to a bridge and with many soldiers right next to it. The tower is indeed extremely vast almost as full-sized as a castle and very large and by the looks of it is very aged and very antique.
"Alright, we arrived to the first tower, and like we guessed it is guarded by a lot of guards!" Naga observe it.
"Alright, let's get rocking!" Air Jay said as he pick up Kiko and he and Naga started to walk down the bridge directly to the tower.
"Hold right there!" screamed a man who finally appears.
Naga and Air Jay stopped in the middle of the bridge and looked to the man, another big guy but incredibly fat and with a smug attitude. He's so fat that his clouts hardly fit him.
"Who are you?" Naga asked.
"Who am I? Fools! I am Sergeant Herman! I am the most resistant soldier in the Aviar Army! I have been stabbed with knife, swords or even sharp spells, my body, no one can stand a chance against me, all the ones who faced me ended up crushed and shattered. I am going to destroy you people and I am sure that Master Aviar will finally make me a general!" Herman said as he cracked his knuckles.
Air Jay and Naga were not surprised, they only let out a laughter.
"Oh no Naga, we are in deep trouble here!" Air Jay taunted, pretending to be desperate. "We are so doom, don't you see it is just one big fat ass and there are only two of us? He's going to kill us, he's going to kill us!"
"Air Jay, Air Jay calm down!" Naga taunted, pretending to calm Air Jay up. "Will you calm down? He's just a…...big fat ass!" Naga and Air Jay laughed out loud.
This only infuriated Herman to the high level. "You miserable punks! I will squash you!" Herman ran down the bridge directly at Naga and Air Jay, ready to beat them.
"RAYWING!" Naga chanted and she levitated to the air and Air Jay crated wings of fire on his back and levitated to the air as well and shoots a fire ball to the bridge, destroying it completely.
"AAAAAH!!!!" Herman cried in agony as he falls down the ravine.
"Auuu. (What a dork.)" Kiko barked.
The soldiers are traumatized with what they just saw, the Trio killed Herman with a blink of an eye just the killed to the other twelve leaders and this time they killed with hardly any effort. The soldiers got so frightened that they ran away, they don't want to put their lives in jeopardy.
"Que bando de mariquinhas! (What a band of sissies!)" Air Jay mocked. "I was hoping on beating some one up!"
"Well let's get this over with! I am starting to get hungry!" Naga said as she blows the tower up with a Mega Brand. "Let's get something to eat in the next tower."
"Good idea."
------
Thirty minutes later, Naga, Kiko and Air Jay arrived to the next tower, the tower of the west side, who is just as equal as the tower of the north. Once they got there all the soldiers ran away and the trio took that chance to go to the kitchen to grab something to eat.
"I can't believe how short on food they are!" Air Jay commented as he took a bit of an apple. "To think that an army could have something much better than an apple and breed in this joint."
"I Agree! This is not enough to satisfy my expender hunger!" Naga replied.
"Grrrrr! (I'm more hungry than you!)" Kiko growled.
Suddenly a knock on the door is heard.
"Who could that be?" Air Jay asked as he went to door.
Once he open it he saw a man with a green hair and armour and with a sharp sword. "I am Tumuru! I am one of the top twelve leaders of the Aviar Army and I am going to take your heads to master Aviar!"
"Oh, ok." Air Jay said then closes the door at Tumuru's face.
"Who was that?" Naga asked.
"No one, just another loser from the Aviar Army."
"I see."
Tumuru knocks the door furiously and this time Naga answers the door. "What is it?"
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Tumuru asked angrily.
"Yes, now shut up, we are trying to eat!" Naga slams the door right on Tumuru's face.
Tumuru knows at the door again, more irritably and Naga opens it again.
"I'll show you not to mock me!" Tumuru Screamed then throws a punch at Naga, but she closed the door again, making Tumuru bash his hand against the wall and screaming in pain. "OUCH, OUCH , OUCH!!!!!!!"
"What a dork!" Air Jay mocked.
Tumuru could not take it anymore and grabs his sword and breaks the door in haft "I will teach you clowns not to mock the mighty Tumuru and…….oh no……" he moaned when he saw a fireball in Air Jay hand.
Air Jay throws the fire ball at Tumuru, making him fly away as he got hit.
"OHOHOHOHOHOHOH!!!! There goes another weasel!" Naga laughed.
"Say, who was the guy we just beat?" Air Jay asked.
"(You guys were fighting someone?)" Kiko asked telepathically.
-----
Forty minutes later the Trio arrive to the tower of the south with already someone waiting for them, a bald guy dressed in black caring many weapons of any kind.
"HAHAHAH! You people finally came. My name is Ulunu, I am the most deadly man in the Aviar Army, I am a master of any weaponry that falls in my hands, any type of object can be a lethal weapon that can destroy a person in seconds! So far you fools have faced amateurs but I….." Ulunu was interrupted when Naga and Air Jay kick him on the face, making him fly to the tower and destroying it completely.
"OHOHOHOHOH!!!! Now that was a big move!" Naga hooted.
"Why thank you!" Air Jay replied, thanking that as a compliment.
"I wasn't talking about you Air Jay, I was talking about me!"
"Oh isn't that a big surprise!" Air Jay replied sarcastically. "You are always talking about you, what about me? I also kicked that guys butt! Why is it that I don't recive any complement?"
"Because you're the bad guy!"
"Oh yeah, that's right……"
-----
In the last tower, the tower of the east, Lim and Brunou already received the news that all of their comrades have fall from the might's of the Trio with out even lifting a finger against them.
"Oh no……." Brunou vibrated in fear with his hands covering his ears. "This is the last tower standing, they are coming to us! We are next! They are going to kill us!"
Lim also trembles in fear. "The dog will be with them as well, what do we do?"
Brunou stars to walk around nervously. "We are doom, we are doom! We have no chance against The Trio, but if we fail Master Aviar will kill us for sure! We are doom!"
Lim then remember something. "We have a ship just on the shore, this tower is right next to the beach!"
"Brunou stops walking and looks at Lim. "So what are you suggesting? That we run away? If we do that Master Aviar will find us!"
"He's too obsessed with the Trio and the Unknown Crystal to worry about us, besides by the way how the Trio is been beating everyone up I am sure that they can kill Aviar!"
In that moment one of the soldiers rushes into the watch room where Lim and Brunou are. "Sirs! Air Jay and Naga are coming! They will be here in a few seconds!"
"EEEEEH!!!!" Brunou eked.
"SO Brunou, what do we do? Do we stay here and fight or run away and survive?" Lim asked.
Brunou didn't need any more time to answer that question. "Alright we are going to run away! Anything to get away from those three maniacs!"
After shouting, both Brunou and Lim started to run away down the stairs directly to the exit.
"Every one run!" Lim shouted as he ran down the stairs. "Every one run to the ship we are going to leave this island once and for all. Run, run for your lives! Run like if Shabrimingo was right after you! Run!!"
All the soldiers of the tower moved away as fast as they can, they are just as afraid of The Trio as Brunou and Lim are.
Every one ran away from the tower directly to the beach, with Brunou running right behind them since he's very slow.
"I can't believe it! I'm finally rid of those three lunatics!" Brunou cried as he runs after his soldiers.
In that moment someone grabs Brunou by his ears and lifts him in the air.
"OUCH!!!!!!!!" Brunou cried out loud and sees that it is Air Jay and Naga. "Oh no……" he wines. "Please let me go, I can't take it any more….."
"Hey yo, Fatty, what's up? Where are you going?" Air Jay asked, pulling Brunou's ear up.
"I just want to get out of here! Me and my crew are leaving! I never want to come back to this island or to the Aviar Army! Please let me go! I don't want to be hammered again!" Brunou cried.
"What?" Naga asked in amaze. "You are going to leave?"
"You mean? No more beating on the fatty?" Air Jay asked, sounding like he was going to cry.
"YES NOW CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME GO!?!?!?" Brunou cried out loud.
"Ok." Naga replied.
Brunou blinked. "Really?"
"Yes."
"No kidding?"
"Of course."
"You are not going to harm me?"
"Not at all!" Naga lied. "Since this is the last time we'll see you we decided to let you go uninjured."
"Really?" Brunou asked in a hoped voice, then he points at Air Jay. "What about him?"
"I'll let you go!" Air Jay responded as he and Naga puts Brunou down.
Brunou starts to walk away slowly from Air Jay and Naga. "You promise? You promise you won't hurt me?"
"Yes of course!" Air Jay lied.
"We won't move a muscle!" Naga lied.
"Ok….I'll be going now." Brunou was about to leave when Naga and Air Jay hold him by the shoulders.
"Just like that? No goodbye kicks?" Air Jay asked.
"No, no, no, no, no, no,! No goodbye kicks!" Brunou pleaded.
But Air Jay and Naga throw him to the ground and kick him on his big fat butt, making him fly away to the ship and screaming like a little girl.
"Bye Fatty, its been fun!" Naga yelled, waving goodbye to Brunou as he fell down.
"You know, I going to miss torturing that guy!" Air Jay admitted.
"(You torture everyone you meet, Air Jay.)" Kiko reminded.
------
After destroying the last tower, the Trio returned back to the rebels camp.
"That was fun." Naga said. "We destroyed four towers and got rid of all of the top twelve leaders of the Aviar Army. It will be a matter of days before we get rid of the rest of the Aviar Army and get the crystal."
Air Jay yawned "I am bore. We spend these last days fighting weaklings and didn't even found a challenge here!" He sighs. "And to think that the Aviar Army are very fearful."
"Oh don't worry about those idiots." Naga said. "In a matter of days we shall attack the Avir Army for the last time……"
"Yes I know," Air Jay interrupted. "But I wish I could find a challenge here."
"Well you know that old expression: be careful what you wish for!" a sinister voice said from behind.
Naga, Kiko and Air Jay turn around to see Orland appearing from their shadows.
After coming out of the shadows he looks at the Trio with a grin hidden behind his black mask. "Ah….Air Jay, Naga….we meet again……"
To be continued…….
Ramon: Fatty is gone, no more torture for him.
Sunny: but now Orland finally shows himself in front of the Trio.
Alandra: read and Review please.
