Fairy Hunter (Idol): Chapter 11

The coherent voices of the crowd outside cause a dejavu to a certain silver head. 'Myra? Are you okay?'. Zeirra flail her arms wildly in front of the barmaid. From a stern expression, Myra's face soften slightly, a small smile tugs her lips.

'It's just like the one from three years ago', she murmurs slowly. Zeirra remain quiet, she was not there on the particular date Myra had mention but she knew how the story goes around. In mere minutes, Zeirra couldn't help but smiling foolishly. 'It's the tenth anniversary then.' Myra nods slightly, she crane her neck towards Velery.

'The same ol' Vel. Nothing change since that day'. Zeirra chuckle, Myra has not been this sentimental in awhile. For most of the sentimental part,it goes around her match making self, this one holds much deeper meaning than her wacky self. For Myra, this day holds much deeper emotional feelings to her. Zeirra constant tapping breaks Myra's train of thought. Zeirra peek her eye open. 'We still have a few minutes left before the show started, do you mind telling me again, that story of yours'.

'Sure!', Myra happily said. Not a moment to waste when both girls quickly evade to the most secluded space on the back stage. For most people they will be annoyed to hear the same old story countless time but for the both of them. The very story holds the worst tear jerkier moment ever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ringing of the huge bell in the center of the town indicates it's already twelve o'clock. Since there's hardly a movement in the plain Ray and Hono decide to split up in order to cover more ground.The boys have been lounging around the plain for an hour and half, sadly majority of them have encounter some booby traps and had some serious injuries whilst some have nothing to even scrape a wound on their knee. No, none, nothing, nu-uh! For most of the pack, it's some strategy the enemy had set up. For the other half, the plain is ridiculously dangerous. 'Argh!!!! When the heck will the enemy come and get me!!!', Hono shout while messing up his already messy hair.

'Fuhu... That's some weird wish you got', Hono jump, the voice is slow and frail but at the same time it holds a pinch that cause Hono to raise his guard up. Hono slowly turn around, a small girl with violet eyes smile at him. She is short probably a teenager, she have a weird pinkish shawl wrapped around her left and right arm, she also have a high white boots with golden star decorations embedded on them.

'W-Who are you?', Hono mumbles, after a deathly bleached silence. The girl part her lips to say something, but just when Hono digest what she has said. He realize that he is lying on the ground with a massive wound on his torso. 'Shikigami [Reaper]', those words blow past him in seconds. Fast! I couldn't even scream...he mentally shout. Right at the moment, Hono couldn't even muster up energy to speak let alone cry for help.

'It's stupid for you guys to split up. I know you and that water guy can't get along well but splitting up like this..... you guys were dumber than I thought', she scoff. 'Now... It's time for your punishment', the huge scythe that faithfully resides besides her glimmers in vermilion and silver ray vehemently. 'But before I kill you off for good, let me ask you this. Do you have the slightest idea of who I am?', she cooed.

Hono open his mouth slightly, that girl... she couldn't be! 'Ame...ra?',a vicious smile tug the girl's pale lip. 'Please die', she murmurs softly, 'Brother', Hono tear up at the last part. He never thought, not once in a hundred years that his very own flesh and blood will be the one that kill him off. Just when the sickening scythe almost devours his flesh a wave of water hit the girl sending her tumbling off a few meters behind.

'Shoot! I'm late', Ray got a feeling Hono is in trouble, he knows very well the mission is bound to put lives on the line. He fairly knows all of that but rather seeing a small kid dying he would rather feel his arms being reap off. Later that time, all of the group come running towards them. Raila gasps, she hurriedly run towards Hono's side. She get on her knees not really minding the enemy staggering to stand up, right behind her. 'Ra-', Hono couldn't quite finish the sentence when he cough up blood.

'Quiet! I'm focusing here!', both her palms shines violently, to make matter worse. Raila has been using up her powers through out the hour. Hono might had been through the most harmless plain but the others suffer major wounds so conveniently she was there as their healer. Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! My power is depleting and his wounds isn't closing up either! Shoot! Curse it all!Tears escape her eyes, have you ever feel weak and useless when you know you could have done something to prevent the happenings. If you does, then you completely understands what Raila is going through.

'T..hat's...e..nough...R...aila...', Hono is touch to see Raile trying her best to heal him. Even so, he could feel his life fleeting away.

'Shut up! I'll do my best! 'll do everything in my power to save you... You are always like that, treasures everyone else's life instead of your own. What kind of leader do you think you are!!! I will never take command form someone who takes their life so lowly. So from here on out, I will not listen to another word you have to utter!!! Understand'. That shut Hono up real good. Thank you... Raila..That was his last words before the darkness devours him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Curse you! How dare you betray your own kind Amera!!!', Metal is infuriated, he stand bravely in front of Raila and Hono. To think their enemy will be one from their clan plus one so close to their leader. How twisted can the Lady be. Lake, didn't say a word, he step up next to Raila and Hono, slowly he creates an anti-magic barrier. A barrier he specialize himself. With this Raila will not be aware of the fight that is about to break out. 'Max, you guys need to step down'. Zeille and Ray is baffled to hear those words, but Ash and Max seems petty cool about it.

'You guys are just kids, you can't fight that psycho girl!', Zeille half whisper. Surprisingly, Amera stood tall like a doll that's lost their strings. Lake wouldn't budge, he step next to Metal. 'I'm not asking. I'm commanding, this fight is not yours it never is, in the first place. For what ever it worth we will take full responsibility.'

'Sure, Make sure you go all out Light', Max casually says. Lake eyes widen.

'You are the guardian of Light are you not?', Lake chuckle. He still have his antics on even at times like this.

Max didn't give the boys permission without thinking a plan through. 'You got something up your sleeve don't you Max'. Ash is neutral, he knows the plan has it risks but he didn't want the kids to whittle their life away this easy. 'Calm down, when push comes to shove. I know you will come out with a plan better than mine. For now, let's observe the fight from the side lines, if they really are at the brink of death we'll jump in and interfere. If that time is not here, then we'll just have to measure how much potential does this guardians have in store for us'.

'Tch, frank as ever. Can you not reveal your plan to others so readily Max', Max eyes him when their conversation comes to a halt. Lightning tore the skies, a sudden gale slam the battlefield as thunders drums. Those natural things occurs meaning that the fight is starting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Velery peer over her shoulder, she thought Myra and Zeirra were gossiping behind her a while back. 'Huh, that's weird, they were suppose to be there a minute ago', June says softly. She has been twirling her hair for a few minutes now, both out of anxiety and habit. Velery was inform about ten minutes ago of how the show will grade each clothing the designers create. And believe her, she has never heard of such ridiculous way to grade any kind of clothing.

'Never mind them. They will be here when the time calls for it. Now, I need you two to do your best on impressing the judges okay'. Right that instance a wave of massive aura spread across the theater for a nano second, it seems that only the three of them are aware of the queer happening.

'Could it be? The fight has begun', Layla murmur softly, her grip on her skirt tighten. She trust her friends with all her heart but she couldn't help but feeling a bit worried about the boys condition especially Hono's. Somewhere deep within her heart she could feel something is not right, it feels like she is losing someone. 'Can you guys, excuse me for a second', June and Velery gives off a worried stare.

'Sure, but make sure that you'll be back here in thirty minutes. We need to go over the plan once more before that show begin. Layla nod slightly as an answer to their question.

'My oh my, it seems like the girl has some kind of hidden talent', a red head says. Velery look over the schedule once more, she scan the names carefully. She tries her best to put her friends in the best and most suitable competition she could find,still she have her doubts. Life is not a bed of roses, she knows that too well. Even if the plan seems to be highly successful, the past will catch up to them and probably cause them default or at least there's no marks given.

Worst, the origin of the judges. She couldn't think of the worst origin other than the ones that is beseech to her right now. Especially one from the Lilac village. This is one hard core competition. Just when she is replaying the plan in her mind, a girl with spiky green hair tap her shoulder. Velery lift up her head a scowl can be seen clearly on her face the minute her gaze lands upon the girl in front of her. 'Serepine. What do you want', Velery lowly hiss.

'Whoa there. Hold your horses. I was just saying hi to an' old competitor. Was that so wrong?'. Serepine grab Velery's hand for a shake but Velery harshly tug it away. To be clear Velery and Serepine never were in a good terms with each other since the occurrence ten years ago.

'Don't act all chummy with me, You know so well that I never wish to see your face ever again'.the crumpled paper in Velery's hands burn slightly, this comes to show how much Velery tries to conceive her anger. The last thing she wants is a commotion right before the show.

Serepine chuckle, 'Hah! It wasn't my fault you choose a demon hybrid as your model. It's essential for the crowd to know her origin. It was your fault for not telling the judges the truth about that monster'.

'Don't you dare call her monster! She is far better than you could ever be!. Do you seriously think I don't know about the things you have done on the stage. Do you even know how much shame she feel that day', this time Velery is at her top patience, she step forward and grab Serepine by her throat. 'Don't get me started on the insults', she hiss lowly. 'For three years she suffer..For WHAT!!! Just because of her origin she was discriminate from the rest of us. How rotten can you be'.

'Vel-chan!', Luckily, June arrive just in time to stop Velery from doing anything stupid.

'Put her down Vel. She is not worth it', Velery let out a ragged breath, shakily she put down the girl. Serapine becomes more amuse to see June in live action. What's more, she is wearing some kind of design for a specific play they are about to do.

'Come on... Don't tell me she's one of your models too.' Seraphine clutch her stomach as she burst out laughing and rolling on the ground. This time, she make so much racket all eyes are on them. Velery grit her teeth,she didn't know whether Serapine is testing her patience, but for certainty Velery will literally rip that girl's throat off if Serapine start to put a damper in Velery's hope of winning like she use to ten years ago.

'From a demon hybrid to a total evil mistress. I got to say you have a knack for someone evil are you not.' June flinch, she never thought anyone would recognize her this quickly. Just their luck, Layla arrive to greet her friends after some refreshing air. Serpine's mouth twisted into a maniacal grin.Oho.. Velery, what have you gotten yourself into?

'Velery Starlight, I wonder how did the management let you enter this competition with this evil witches on board? I mean you not only have a demon spawn, you have an evil destined princess and the one person who almost destroy this whole world too. Who's next? A person who destroy a village?', Serapine just have to jinx her words when Zeirra and Myra comes running back.

'Sorry for stepping out without informing you Velery.' Both Zeirra and Myra are shaken to see Velery ghastly pale while June and Layla are stiff like a lifeless doll without strings to help it walk. 'Hah! Velery you got the worst of the worst models right off the bag. From the most terrified to the most abhor girl of all time. Seriously, are you trying to compete or are you trying to lose?'.

Zeirra unscathed her sword, Serepine is overstepping her bounds way too much. Velery bit her lip,she is doing it again!!!! doubting my choices even before they perform. Then it dawn on Velery, slowly a small smile decorates her face. She step in front of her friends, with a soft voice and a beautiful smile she reply 'I know they might not be the best of the best, probably for the mistakes they had done and their heredity. But I whole heartily believe that they have change for the better. I'm sorry if you see flaws in them, I see something much more valuable instead'.

Serepine bit her lips when her plan have crumble into nothingness. 'Now if you could, please leave. We don't need your insults, not now or ever', the situation infuriated Serepine even more when the people surrounding her clap a hand after Velery's speech. 'Tch! What ever!'. Serepine storm off to who knows where.

'Whoa.. I got to hand it to ya' Velery. I never thought you could handle her with such cool attitude'. Myra butt kissing didn't flatter Velery the least. 'Well, I got a great mentor'. The sound of the show commentator break Velery's train of thought, she shakes her heads a few times before turning towards her friends. 'To begin, we just have to listen carefully for the first set of event.'

Contestant for the night sky theme please step forward

Myra flinched, she didn't expect for herself to be the first one to step up. Her friends are afraid to see the demon literally shaken when the announcement was made. 'Velery.. are you sure you didn't want anyone else to take my place?', Myra ask with a wry smile. She didn't want to stir up trouble but judging by what Serapine said. Myra going first is the worst possible choice there is to make. 

'Myra! Enough of the humble act already, I have told you before I choose you for a reason. Sometimes you need to put away that humble act. The Myra I know is someone who is a block head and very stubborn it will take a whole lot to shake her stand point. I once thought Myra is one of the most invulnerable person there is, she will charge at anything despite the hurdling dangers ahead of her. But I never thought she will be weak under pressure from mere words.' Velery takes a deep breath, her cheek had redden slightly because she tries her best to conceive her anger.

'And I for one was at fault for that', this time Velery voice falter slightly. The determination in her previous tone is now replace with something crest fallen. 'The incident ten years ago was the sole starter of this aren't it.' Myra bit her lip, true.. it was. 'And for that I blame myself day and night. I really wish to give you a second chance. I know that you aren't as bad like they thought you are no matter what breed you come from, on the contrary you are one of the most amazing person I know! I want the community to know that fact, I want everyone to know that you are nice despite your true identity'.

'I never once ask for your help in that', Myra rebuke. This side of her somehow send a shock to every one. Through out Velery heart felt confession Myra head was hung low, and beneath that expression she grit her teeth. 'I'll repeat. I NEVER once beg you to help me in restoring my dignity. If I choose to change what human think of me than that is my choice alone. You as someone who understand others better than anyone else should have known that one should not dwell in someone else's personal in formation'. Velery jump, even thought Myra voice is cold and calm: Velery couldn't help feeling like a huge sword had thrust her chest.

'And for that I forgive you', Velery raise her head, her mouth turns into an 'o' shape. 'I know you mean well but it still inappropriate for you to meddle with such issue. Plus you should have told me sooner about your intentions; thank you for the chance you have given me. I'll do my best. Plus I hope you wouldn't stray too deep again'. Velery slowly nod, Myra give her a gentle smile before waving her friends good bye as she made way towards the beginning platform.

'Oho! We have a demon on this competition. Now this will be interesting', one of the competitor whisper. A massive boom echoes through the huge auditorium indicating the show is starting. Myra let out her breath, she had been holding them for such a long time she herself didn't remember she hold it. Oh! This is bad.... my heart is pounding excessively. Myra balled her fist in order to find comfort, but it is fruitless, she can only hope that she wouldn't be the first one to-

'Let's begin our show!!! The first contestants for this theme is Myra Silverstar from Fairy Hunter!!!'. Myra jerk her eyes open, she could hardly believe her ears. My turn already? ah... this is like out of a frying pan into the fire. Myra rub her face several times before a smile decorates her face. 'Seems like I have to go all out', taking a deep breath she step out into the huge arena with confidence. Gasps erupted from the crowd when they land their eyes on her. Myra looks like an evil mistress alright but there was a tint of elegance and cool in it. The calm but dangerous vibe she set off cause the judges to be stun as she walks slowly towards the runway. In Echantros there are hardly a portion of them that possesses a sliver hair causing the country's mentality saying that those who have silver hair as beautiful. Even though, doctors have recorded that most of them had a severe Marie Antoinette disease.

'Whoa! A promising one right off the bat. Now let's start with the introduction. Here we have Myra Silverstar a bartender in Fairy hunter. Quite skilled in combat, hard working, understanding and the most vital essence of her is she's from the....', there was a moment of silence. Myra turn her head around, what she fear have come true, the commentator is ghastly pale, her body is shaking whilst her lips tremble slightly. 'S-shhhe...'ss', Myra sigh. The commentator is choking her words.


She spread one of her arms out, 'Reality make over', tens of thousands roses erupted from her small palm. It engulfed the whole arena in nanosecond the petals disappears ; the audience could cleary make out her vermilion eyes glistening underneath the darken skies. Myra tap her lips 'Bewitch by what you'll beseech upon', dark magenta light erupted from her palms forcing the audience to shield their eyes. When all eyes are blinded by the massive ocean of roses and the sudden light,some alluring smell pierce their nostrils. When the lights went out in the center Myra stood tall with her bat like wing protruding from her back.  On top of her dozens of trampolines hang in mid air. The audience could hardly believe their eyes. Not one of them expected for such creature to enter their competition.

With one jump she lift her self up from one trampoline to another. At each of the trampoline she'll do either a somersault or a cartwheel. She never use her wings when she jump through all of the hurdles but the minute she reach the top, she reach out for the dangling crystals on both her wings and throw it right at the trampoline. The very trampoline exploded into shards of glasses illuminating the stage with abundance of color, the next one erupted into a massive pile of daisies and dandelions. One after another more thrilling surprises erupted from each of the trampoline. The kids that attend the show is very happy when they got a rain of candy.

Myra fly trough the crowd with the crystals touching the air creating a line of rainbow color glitters. She circle the arena before twirling in the center stage creating a typhoon of glitters. Myra lands on the stage, the arena is bleached silence. Myra sigh, she didn't hope to get an applause why would she dream for an encore. Myra turn around to exit the stage, she didn't wish to stay longer for she already are.

'Onee-san you are awesome!!', a small child chide. Myra is stun to hear the words. She never thought in her whole life a child would say such words to the lowly her. Even though, a few minutes later, the mother of the child tries to hush her down Myra can't help but to feel happy by the attention she receive. Murmurs detonates through out the stadium as she left the main stage. The judges are reluctant to give Myra a single point but by hook or by crook they need to follow the rules and regulation of the competition. No  matter how reluctant they are. To be frank, they are fighting with themselves whether they should to do it or not because the loud applause Myra receive are all from the children, most of them adore her from the minute they land their eyes on her.

Albeit all the applaud she got, the judges somehow are reluctant to give her a fair score. Out of thirty scores, she  manages to scrape off fifteen. Myra enter the back stage with a small smile on her lips, 'I never thought it will be this much fun', she murmurs. Velery is glad that she is able to give Myra another chance. Even so, the scores Myra got didn't soothe her heart the least bit, because she knows there will be more hindrance when the next few models step forwards especially the twins. Little did the fives know, there are someone tailing their every move like a hawk watching it's prey. 'Just so you wait, there will be more of this', the person crackle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The furious battle in between the ex-clan Amera and the two guardians is at it's peak. From the first few minutes, it seems like the duo is winning with their synchronized attack. Lake head out first into thin air, making it hard to see where he is landing. Then, the lightning shook violently causing the scene to illuminates brilliantly. Amera are stunned when the sight hit her, a minute later spikes of iron needle pierce into her flesh. Her face didn't show any pain making the boys wonder wether she have any sensation at all.

'Now!', Metal shout, a nanosecond later tens of thousands lightning hit the girl with high levels of voltage that could lead to fatality even to the most electric invincible creature in Echantros.

'Did we do it?', Lake breath. Using three spells consistently cause him to feel tired out both mentally and physically. Metal smirk 'I thin-', not a moment too soon, a crackle erupted from Amera disfigure body.

'Do you think that puny attack will do? DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!!!. Let me show you the real power of the best', her scythe gleams underneath the pale moon. The little blade ignites thousands of uneasy feeling towards the duo. They are literally shaking from inside out, this kind of magic power is beyond comprehension. 'Release: Endless detonation!'. Within moments both boys are engulfed within a thick black smoke. The smoke limits their vision and somehow absorb all their remaining energy to put up a fight.

'Max! We need to head out now! Those kids can't win!', Ash urge. He now knows that those boy's skill are beyond a kid their age, even so, Amera is in a whole new level. Ash can feel it in his gut, something grotesque is bound to happen sooner or later. Max sigh, he din't like interference because judging by the scene bestow upon him, the boys will win. Just when Ash is getting jittery, a flash of light tore the smokes away, revealing Lake and Metal with their clothes torn apart, battered, gore on hands and feet. Blood are spilling out everywhere from the crook and cranny of their body.

'Hahaha,  that was just a portion of my magic power and look at the two of you... Already breathless?', Amera tilt her head in a violent way.

'Heh, This kind of bruises are nothing compare to what you have done to our leader', Metal boast. True, the wounds are nothing, trust him. The fight are just getting more interesting. With his bloodied hand, Metal slam the grassy ground. Grey incarnation erupted from his hand covering almost half the plain with symbols. The little ground shook wildly and the platonic plates move from each other as if something big force them to have some distance from each other. Abnormal? Not the very least. Not long after the little earthquake. Lake buried his leg inside the soft sand, his mouth move up and down continuously showing that he is ready to cast a spell bigger the the spells he had done before hand. Both boys look very determine cause what they summon next is not what a human head can comprehend easily.

RISE FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE EARTH,
THE CREATURE THAT CURSED THE LAND OF ECHANTROS,
RULE THE BARRED LAND ONCE AGAIN,
SEND TERRORS TO THE HEARTS OF HUMANS,
RISE IRON MAIDEN CALAMITY!!!

Right after he summoned the creature, large iron casing in the shape of an overgrown lady rise up, it wasn't one but tens of thousands of them. The casing move towards each other in a speed that matches lightning, as they mash up with one another to create a big casing the envelope not only Amera's entire being but the whole plain excluding the part that Ash and the rest accommodates. .A small smile tug her lips as the case gnaw her body with spikes of iron thrusting her body from inside out. Ash could clearly hear the shredding sound of the case tearing it's victims apart limb by limb.  Ash is certain that Amera couldn't possibly survive from the attack. Not enough of that Lake hasn't begin his attack just yet.

And it seems as if he is ready to do just that. Lightning ignites from every inches of his body creating a lightning barrier all around him.

Hear me cries as I call upon the darkest warrior,
I hereby sacrifice the half of my being in hope to summon,
Lightning strongest beast,
EMERGE FROM THE THOUSANDS CLOUDS,
DRAGON OF LIGHT, IGNERA!


A mighty roar can be heard clearly from the skies, as a lighting made dragon descend down to earth. The dragon didn't stay long. When the inside of the iron maiden protrude from it's icy steel body. Ignera quickly let out a blast of electricity and fried Amera to crisps. After the all out attack, Lake and Metal are too tired to even continue. both of them slump to the ground. 

'Nice', Metal and Lake shivers.

'No it can't be', Metal gasps. Amere stand there with her faithful scythe in her fired hand. Half her face and right leg are torn into nothing. Flesh poke out from every inch of her making her already wounded body even more worse. 'How about we play some game'. She cock her head to the side. Her index finger sway to the sides. 'Tick tock, tick tock, the clock is ticking'. Lake and Metal are mostly baffled to hear those words. A minute after that it struck Lake. 'Raila!', both of them jerk their heads backwards.

His hunch is right when he sees Hono's body shines with incarnation that resembles some kind of clock. With his last remaining energy, Lake dispel the barrier encasing Raila. Just when he was about to warm her, the clock strikes zero.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sweats run down her fore head when Hono's body start to glow suddenly. only this time she raise her head. She was taken aback when she sees both Metal and Lake are fighting the so call little sister of Hono. To make matter worse, both their body are bruised so bad she is certain that both of them have seen better days. Right that moment she realize some kind of yellow translucent barrier is engulfing her. 'What the-', she could see Lake flailing his arms whilst chanting something. At the very moment the barrier is put out.

'Run!', is all she could hear before a sudden detonation of a bomb caught her off guard. 

'Raila!!!!!!!', Lake screech, he didn't foresee this kind of occurrence. both Metal and him try their hardest to create as many powers as they can to save her but the odds are against them when they already hit their limits.
