Phoenix

Let's Hunt Some Demons

Emi had arrived at Lunal Village after a couple of hours on the train. She had finally stopped crying, but there were still tear stains on her face. She tugged her cloak tightly against her so she wouldn't be seen or recognized. The woman had scurried over to the closest inn and booked a room to stay for the night. She sat in the corner and cried as she remembered the events that had happened a few hours back.

"Cain..."

------------------------------------------------

Emi was walking through the streets with a basket of apples as she made her way back to the inn that she was staying at.

"Well hello there. I've been waiting for you for so very long. I would like to thank you for bringing me a snack."

Emi turned around to see that a demon was sitting on her bed.

"Which one are you?" Emi growled.

"My my, very hostile today."

"You killed my only friend. How would you like me to act?"

"Don't worry, dear. Lust is here!"

"Fine. But don't expect both of us to still be breathing at the end of it."

Lust had teleported the two of them to outside the city so that they wouldn't draw attention to themselves as they fought to the death. Lust made the first move.

"Genesis!"

Creatures started to escape from the ground, all deformed from some type of animal. The animals came after Emi. A large snake lunged right for her.

"So that was you back there, huh?"

Emi brought out the lightning sword that she had used against Laxus and quickly struck the snake in the neck. She turned around just in time to defend herself from a large hare with fangs.

"Fissure!"

At Emi's command, the earth began to shake.

"Oh? A little earthquake would never stop me."

Emi smirked before replying, "Good thing it's not an earthquake then."

Just then, the ground began to break apart and form a huge fault right underneath Lust, causing her to fall in. Emi continued with another spell.

"Lava Valley!"

Lava started to fill the large crack that Lust had fallen into. Lust could be heard screaming near the bottom before it went quiet. Emi stood back up from her kneeling position and concentrated on one final spell.

"Barrier of Elements!"

A soft blue glow enveloped the fissure before closing the crack completely, trapping Lust underground. Emi fell down to her knees in exhaustion from the last spell.

"I see you were able to use that spell afterall," Cain commented.

Emi nodded before saying that it basically took all the energy out of her after she used it.

"Emi, that was so cool!" Wendy exclaimed.

"It was very impressive," Erza agreed as she slapped Emi on the back. "I give you my highest praise."

Emi slowly got up and started to walk to the nearest train station to move onto the next town. She looked back at the welded fissure before looking up at the sky.
