Ch.87 Stop right there you criminal scum

After the first show in one of the cultural hubs of Europe. Jon was in Brazil for his second show but unlike before where he went rogue and went ahead he was traveling with his staff and friends. Ed was taking care of formalities with the Brazilian ministry while the band was doing it's own thing leaving Jon with some time to kill on his hand and he chose this opportunity to do what his friend had once suggested.

Bathing under the sun lying over the white sand beaches of Praia do Paraíso Branco. Jon was enjoying his time in Brazil. The beach was a hidden gems, quite literally as it was middle of the amazons only for the wizarding kind. It was a piece of paradise carved on earth.

Jon was laying on a beach chair without a shirt working on his tan. He was confident that no one would recognize him like this. This time for his disguise he chose to be a ginger for some reason. If his friends could see him in the moment they wouldn't recognize him. 

The calming sounds of water and the chirping noise from the critters and creatures from the surrounding forest added to his relaxation. He was in a moment of bliss. But that was a little short lived as a short and plum man sat next to him. At first Jon didn't pay any mind to him but the man kept glancing at him and it was starting to annoy him.

Finally the man broke the silence, "Are you…"

"No." Jon didn't even look at him and didn't even let him finish his sentence.

"I beg your pardon?" The man sounded a bit perplexed "I just wanted to ask?"

"No." Again and this time the man was a little frustrated, "Are you Jonathan?"

"No." Jon lied through his teeth and the man said, "Then how?"

"How did I know you would ask that?" The man raised his eyebrows and Jon said, "I may a little resembles to him but." He turned to him and lowered his sunglasses and said, "I'm a ginger… I have freckles and this thing is no where near as good looking as him. So if you don't mind I would like to sit in silence."

The man tilted his head and he hummed, "But."

Jon clicked his tongue and got up, grabbed his shirt and started to walk. The man ruined the mood for him. He put on his orange leaves print shirt and started to explore the area. The markets of Brazil's was quite different from what he is used to see in Britain and France.

There were large no of small and large stands scattered yet they looked structured in someway and the people that were there moved cohesively and harmoniously with each other. It was like seeing a symphony of human movement, an ordered chaos.

He stopped at a stand where a man with a grill was cooking with fish, freshly procured. Jon ordered some grilled fish with lemon grilled prawns and fruits salad. The made the dish in seconds and Jon handed him the Encantarias. The coins were a little interesting as the galleons had an image of a dragon on it this was had an image of what appeared to be an imp and a boar. Anyway he handed him a single gold coin and went on his way.

The shopkeeper was going to him change but he had already been on his way. Jon was looking for a good spot to eat this delicious meal. He was planing to eat it by the beach but that was now out of the question for him. As he was walking looking for a place.

He sensed something or maybe someone. He stopped at a store selling some dried roots and herbs. It was an apothecary. From the corner of his eyes he spotted some figure draped up. He knew that it wasn't anything good. He bought a power that he recognized. 

He walked until he found a quiet spot and he found one. Jon was now in a business area, there were a quite a lot of buildings here made from tress and integrated with them. The market had been left behind He turned to the corner. He got his wand out and opened a portal to the branch of the tree up. He walked through and waited for his assailant.

He gripped his wand in anticipation and he heard, "Waiting for someone are we?" He turned and he saw the same figure again but he could his face a little the man had a cut on his lips and looked a little crazed. He grabbed Jon and both of them were gone from the tree in an instant.

They both apparated out of there and went sent spitting out in the middle of the forest. Jon quickly took hold of his wand and pointed at the man and shot out a spell towards the man. The man simply waved the wand and blocked it and laughed, "Feisty… huh? I like it."

Jon looked at the man and he knew that this was serious the man laughed maniacally and said, "You, aren't going to ask me anything? Why? Who? You know all that?"

"I can ask all that when I have you lying flat on the ground with your face on dirt." Jon smirked and the man smiled as well and both of them started their battle. The barrages of spells went from both sides, but none got any quarter from the other. 

Jon was blocking a spell and tried something that he saw once, He blocked and threw the curse to the side and let out a band of white lightning like a lash at the man, but he apparated and the lightning cut down the tree. The man disapparated and smiled, "Ah, that was a good one… who did you learn it from." 

The lightning crackled and Jon whipped at him again and the man disapparated again every time he was about to be hit. Jon was getting frustrated with him. The man appeared again and Jon tried to hit him. But again gone. Jon grunted and extended his lightning whip and spun it around cutting down every tree around him.

The man was standing on top of one and jumped out and got hit with the lightning. Jon grinned and the man got up and removed his cloak and revealed himself. The man was tall and looked skinny like he was wearing a meat suit. he had tattoos or makings all over his body and a black mark on his head.

"That was good… I'm impressed." He smiled and it creeped out Jon.

"Wish I could say the same…" The man chuckled and started to walk towards him and said, "That's good spell. Mind if I use it for a bit?" The man's mark glowed a calm blue and Jon tilted his head and the man used the same spell against Jon. The white whip of lightning came crashing for Jon. 

Jon protected himself but was flung across and hit a tree. Jon got up and cracked his neck and the man said, "Ah, finally getting somewhere."

The man flung the whip again and Jon dodged and used the fallen trees, he lifted three gigantic trees and pulled them towards the man and the man turned around and chopped them up in pieces. It gave Jon time to think and to prepare.

The man turned around and Jon wasn't there anymore, "Learning… that's good."

The man heard a noice and turned around only to find Jon with hundreds of pieces of woods floating above his head and Jon caught his breath and said, "You just don't stop talking do you?" The man was about to use the spell again and Jon twisted his wrist and transfigured the pieces of woods into iron and sent them flying to the man. 

The man sent the lightning through the arrows some where destroyed some didn't and some hit him. As for Jon he ran and dodged the whip, "Expeliamus!" Jon shouted and the man's wand was taken away from him and it flew into Jon's hand and the man fell down on his knees and said, "Good… good. A little sloppy I'd say but, I'm sure the professor can fix that for you."

Jon looked at the man questioningly and the brand on his forehead glowed red hot unlike before and so did his eyes and his chest. The man burst into flames and a giant troll of fire appeared infront of him. It was Fiend Fire or something like that sort, Jon had never seen the spell used like this before.

He knew that it would be neigh impossible without him causing some serious harm to his reputation, but life was more important right now that anything. He used aguamenti but it was useless and he concluded that it was like fiend fire. The troll ran towards him and swung his club made of fire wildly causing fire to spread. Jon didn't had a way to counter it. The counter of fiend fire requires many mages and he didn't have time. 

Jon sighed and gritted his teeth as he stood there and made a ring of fire with green and black flames encircling him. He pointed his wand at the fire troll and a giant thunderbird of fire came out of the flames and fought the trolls. 

And then suddenly wizards started to appear and Jon sighed in relief and said, "Ah, good that you are here." 

"Stand down!" The man demanded and Jon said, "You guys can take care of the Troll?"

The aurors raised their wands and started casting the charm and Jon withdrew his beast and extinguished his flames a man walked over and said, "You are under arrest."

Jon looked at the man confused and said, "What?!"
