Fairy Hunter (Idol): Chapter 9

Myra couldn't contain her excitement when the sun rises from the horizon. She quickly push her duvet aside, put on her comfy slippers, grab her phone and sprint down the corridor of her room into Velery's. She didn't bother to knock, lo and behold her face turns fifty shades of red when she enters at the wrong time. Lucky for her, Velery isn't fully changing her attire when she barge in. 'Get out!!!', Velery screech, many of her belongings are thrown before Myra finally step out with a guilty smile implanted on her face.

After a minute or so, the door to her friend's room open, Velery welcome her presence with a visible pout on her face as she cross both her arms and legs when they takes a seat on her pink couch. Myra's fidget state isn't something new to Velery because she knows what her friend is up to. 'Let me see it', Velery sigh. Myra is baffled, she didn't expect Velery to know so early, wasn't she suppose to be the one that is inform first, about the event. She hands Velery her phone in hesitation.

'What's your plan this time?', Velery ask nonchalantly. Myra is taken aback, Velery never act so bored about this kind of stuff. Especially the ones involving fashion. Velery cast a bored look to Myra when her question is left hanging. She groan, when her friend baffled look greet her. Velery rub her temples, she didn't want to be grouchy so early in the morning. Myra needs to know, there's a limit in everything.

'Let me rephrase that. I want to know, what is your next scheme of match making?', she ask out of frustration.

'I thought, you don't like that kind of stuff', Myra reply with a squeak.

'Yes, no one does. But if it makes you happy, then I'll play along. Now, what do you want me to do about this?', Velery shove the gadget into Myra's hand. Myra movement isn't swift as before and she seems to be spacing a lot. Velery is afraid she has offended the poor girl, but her ego say otherwise. Myra needs to know boundaries and she'll show her. A pregnant silence dawns upon them, Velery snap her finger to break Myra's reverie. 

'Uh..I.. If you could. I just want you to designs a few clothing for..', her voice trail off, she didn't know how to pursue her intentions if Velery herself didn't seem interested in such meddling things. Maybe she should just do it by herself. 

'For the girls? A piece of clothing that will ensure the boys go paralyze and swoon over the girls the minute they land their gaze on them?', Myra bit her lip, Velery can now read people's minds too?.

'You know, you are not all that opaque in your intentions.' Velery rose from her seat before making a bee-line to her desk. She rummage through her shelf for a pink velvety book, the book seems old but the word 'Designs' imprinted on the cover speak everything. Velery then make her way towards the kitchen and brings out a tray of food and two cup of tea. She put down the book. Myra didn't say another words when Velery pour the content of her teapot, her tense body didn't even relax when the aroma of chamomile tea disperse into the room. Their guild really have some weird obsession for tea but never does tea parties. 

'You know. I'm not enforcing you to do this. You can just say no if you don't want to', Velery takes a sip and left Myra waiting for her response.

'I won't object the matter, but I just wish there's boundaries to it. I wouldn't mind seeing my friends happy but forcing them to love each other so suddenly. Don't you think that's some kind of insane thing to do? Now, listen. I'll make the clothing in hope to expand my designing abilities and to promote my shop to help the guild. In return, I wish you would hold back a little and for the first time in your life. Just let the flow goes it's way. It'll reach the end plus the right one if it's destine to be'. Myra didn't say a word, she could hear, Max's I told you so.. nagging at the back of her head.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
June look around for her friends silhouette, it seems both Myra and Velery hasn't emerges to eat their breakfast. 'Should we disturb them Zeirra?', she ask the busy knight. Zeirra is humming a sweet tone while polishing her swords, she stop her action when the question hit her. It takes her a few seconds before she fully digest June's question. 'Now that you mention it. It's queer that the both of them isn't up yet. Velery is an early bird, if I may say so myself.' The situation intrigued her but Zeirra continues her doings. 'But, I hate to be a busybody. Give them another minute or two. If they didn't show up, then we'll crash down their doors', June sweat dropped, she wasn't expecting that kind of answer.

A groggy Ash trudge into the room with his hair dishevel, indicating that he just woke up and won't bother to takes a shower first. He rub his eyes before setting off a loud yawn. 'Where's Ly? I haven't seen her since I woke up?'. June sudden crestfallen face somehow wakes Ash from his sleepy state. Now he is eyeing the girl with curiosity. With a stern voice, he utter his question again.

June jump, she pull a bitter smile quickly. She can't let her facade down just yet. 'She went shopping with Ray', June simply state. She whisk away to the sink, in order to clean the dishes.Ash cross his hand over his chest, he's not the romantic type but he hates people with so much grieve on their faces but they can do something about it. 'And you are okay with it?'. He spat. Ash sudden outburst cause Zeirra to stop her work and crane her neck towards the couple. She stood there quiet, eagerly watching the scene unfolding in front of her. She never expect to see Ash mature side popping again, what's more surprising they are not at the brink of death.

June mouth hang open but now words comes out. 'I shouldn't be too clingy on Ray. If he wishes to go shopping with my sister then be it. I have no right or what so ever to object. I won't be clingy furthermore, the kids are there to keep an eye on them.'

Ash tap his foot impatiently, anger well up in his chest. Not only because June didn't volunteer herself in Ray's spot, he's also irritated by the fact, Layla is out shopping with some other dude and that dude is his rival. Of  all the man she can choose, she choose that good for nothing wet pants. 'I'm going to take a shower', Ash simply state. Zeirra sigh, he should just stop being so clueless about this. She set her sword aside. Her glance catches the clock, it already strike three. 'June, I'll be checking on Myra and Velery. In the meantime, keep an eye on Mirai and Max. I think they have something up their sleeve'. June meekly nods, Ash's voice and anger lingers in her mind. It makes her wonder, is she giving up too early.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Watch out!', Ray grab Raila just in time to save her from an ice arrow. He groan when an arrow manage to gash his shoulder blade. Raila's eyes widen when the gash let out a massive amount of blood, pooling next to her temporary father. Seething in anger, she wiggle her way out. Spread her legs apart, she focus all of her energy flow to her feet, blinding blue light encase her body as water bubbles appear around her. Putting her right palm in front of her, she chant a spell that call a jet of water from her body and hit the man square on the face. Her hands then turns into tentacles. Hono and the rest smirk, if Raila is ready for a fight and so are they.

Fighting fire ninja's in a supermarket isn't how Layla thought her first shopping trip going to be. She minimize her use of magic in order to low the chances of damages. Curses! This place is too small for a real fight! Layla turn her heel towards the exit door, she crane her head half expecting the ninjas to follow her. Instead, they stop and start focusing on attacking the children. 'Screw it!', she slide down the aisle got back to her feet and push Metal out of the way before a metallic pole crash into him.

'Why are you attacking children?!', she half scream, her daggers shine at her side. Layla stood tall with her aura around her.

'Return to us. Return the core powers', the masked Ninjas hiss. Raila fidget, they couldn't have smell us already! Hono didn't wait for the next answer when he shoot three gigantic fireballs at the masked ninjas. Layla watch with wide eyes, when the massive hit was nullified by a wall of water.

'What the hay-hay! Raila! Don't you go blocking my attacks like that!'.

Raila groan 'Take the fight outside, there are too many civilians in here. Plus, they can't afford much damage', she emphasis. Hono, stomp his feet. He turn to Lake. 'Get us outta here!', he screamed.

'Tch! No need to scream dimwit!', yellow lining encase Lake as he chants a few undecipherable words under his breath. Slowly, darkness engulf all of them and transport them closer to the lodge they are staying. The view of their home distract both mages from their enemy making them vulnerable the the ninjas next attack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zeirra cast a wary glance outside,she thought she heard Ray's battle scream, to prove her point a sudden explosion intrigue her to look at the far direction of their cottage. The sight hits her like a sledge hammer, as anger builds up in her chest. Without a word to say, she grab her sword, push all kind of hindrance away and sprint down the hill. Max and Mirai look at each other, baffled to see Zeirra so mad, early in the morning.

Nevertheless, they need not to ask when a blinding yellow light flashes through the silent forest. Just like Zeirra, both friends decide to help but their step met a halt. 'I'm coming too'. June have the determine look on her face, she turn around. Thank god, Zeirra manage to drag her two friends out. 'Don't tell Ash about our situation, if her ever knows that Layla is in danger he'll freak out and burn everything to ashes. Please try your best to distract him while we deal with this problem', Velery open her mouth to object.

Unfortunately, she is too late when June drag both boys outside. Velery sigh, at the very least, she can get her designs done by the evening. Speak of the devil, Ash comes out with a towel wrap to his torso and another one on his wet hair. 'Where's everybody?', the living room is completely empty except for the busy Velery and the nervous wreck Myra. 'Outside', Velery simply state.

'Huh?', Ash eyes protrude when an explosion occurs. His mind waver when the thought of Layla getting injured lays in his mind. Not minding his condition he sprang out into the woods. 'Don't you think a pair of pants at least will do the job', Myra commented. Velery pluck hr fingers, and let her powers do the rest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Several trees are cut down, with a big crater at the far end of the mountain. Layla hiss when one of the falling branches trust her shoulder, she staggers to get up. Her fight isn't over, not until all the ninjas are out cold. Her daggers shines in brilliance as if supporting her decision. She frantically, look around for the sighting of Ray and they children, unlucky for her. She somehow got separated, trudging her way through the foliage of tree, a blinding smoke caught her attention. She put all her strength on her steps as she sprint down the sloppy side.

Her mouth twist into a smile, when she sees her friends cornering the ninjas together. She was about to join the fiasco when the temperature rises like a rocket. In hundred meter radius, Layla could clearly see, Ash stomping his way through the forest, burning it in the process. His mouth clench and bare, showing off his growing canines, as hot lave fire engulf his body, burning everything in sight. Ash's breath is ragged, and anger and frustration builds up in his body.

June sweat dropped, she wasn't hoping for the monster awakening. 'Where is Ly?!', Ash scream in demeanor.  His tone sent shivers down June's spine. Layla gulps, what could she have possibly done to anger Ash this badly. She shrink down in size, when Ash stomp closer to the ninjas. Horrified, is totally visible on their faces, when all color drown and what's left if ghastly pale. Ash grab one of them by the collar, his flames is cooling off any minute. 'I'm asking you nicely, where is Layla', he spat.

Layla could feel her heart pinched when Ash fully call her name instead of her stupid nickname he gave her. The ninja shook his head wildly while stuttering apologies of not knowing. Having his patience tested, Ash slams the poor guy to the ground. He grab another, when the answer is same he'll throw they oh who knows where.

'Ash calm down! You burn the whole place!', June shriek, she gran his arms ignoring the burning sensation it cause to her skin. Ash grab her by the throat, she choke for breath 'Ash! Open your eyes! Don't let the anger control you', she half whisper. Ray shot a gush of water towards Ash's hand in order to put out the fire. He snatch the trembling girl away and cradle her in his arm. June hold her throat, she wouldn't blame Ash for this. Using the last of her voice, she hums a soothing tune to calm his nerves, it did work at first but he keep on destroying stuff when June completely lost her voice.

Layla can't stand watching anymore, ignoring the pain on her shoulder, she jump down. 'Ash! Here I am!', she spread her arms in order to catch his attention.

Ash snap his head towards the sounds direction, 'Don't hurt anyone anymore. If ou have something to tell me. The let it be between us!'.

'No! Layla! He's out of control!', Zeirra shriek. She grab her sword on the ground ready to attack Ash but a firm hand on her shoulder tells her it's better to stop. She raise her head shocked to see Mirai's look. 'He needs to do this', he half whisper. Zeirra could feel Mirai's trembling hand as the scene plays.

Ash let out a low growl, when his long awaited prey, present herself in front of him. Layla gulp, whatever grudge Ash has on he, she'll take it. As long as he returns to normal. Ash lurch forwards with an incredible speed with fire around him.

'Layla run!', Zeirra warned. Layla close her eyes ready for the hurt but it never came. Instead, she feel two arms slinking at her waist and a face breathing at the crook of her neck. His grip tighten, as her mind is left in bewilderment by Ash sudden romantic gesture.

'Don't do it again', Ash sternly state. His face still buried at the corner of Layla's neck.

'Huh?'.

'I told you! you need to inform me about where ever you want to go. And I'll need to be there with you. You broke that promise Layla', Ash playfully pinch her cheek.

'I can't lose you again.' Layla is left with no words, what she knows next. Ash carries her in bridal style back to their lodge. After some patching up done, all the members including the children gather around the living room.

'This situation is serious. We literally needs the parents to stay b their child's side.' Myra instructed. She turn to the thinking face Velery. 'We can use the competition as a decoy to intimidate the enemy. The girls will not only show your creation but they will display their true powers in front of those people. The enemy must be among the spectators, if they knows of our capabilities they might hold back. In he meantime, the boys will investigate about this enemy of ours. You kids will be coming with us, as it's much safer'.

'What why? Do we have to do all the dirty work', Ash whine.

'Well, for a fact boys is banned from watching any competitions involving fashion singing or anything that involves girls to show their talents. It seems some wacko love disease can cause some serious love struck to boys. So they banned you guys ages ago', Myra nonchalantly state. No one dares to disobey. Every single one of them are busy preparing for a fight they'll never forget.
