Losing Battle - Part 1

* Thousand Foot Krutch - Fly On The Wall *

AN: yea we're still doing that marathon!

***

[Please...]

As if answering the system's silent prayer, scorching heat assaulted the quiet battlefield as all of a sudden, the monster was sent flying away from the unconscious girl.

"Don't you know that touching an unconscious girl's body is a sin?" a youthful masculine voice said with all of the seriousness in the world.

His red flaming hair was glowing with shades of dark orange giving the illusion that the air around it had caught on fire. His fiery red eyes had a similar glint as they reflected the rage boiling in them.

Jamie kneeled down to take a better look at the unconscious girl, he remembered her as being the girl who thought him and Camilla were a couple, but seeing her state now made him grit his teeth uncontrollably.

She was in a dirty torn up black and gold soccer uniform that was twice her size. Blood covered part of her face, most of her abdomen and chest area, as well as the wall behind her. Scratches and cuts could be seen all over her fragile body.

He was certain that every bone in her body was shattered, and so he was surprised to see her small chest rise up and down slightly in a faint yet calm rhythm. Even, more surprised to feel a faint amount mana circulating through her body.

"I won't apologize for being late as I had a legitimate excuse, however, I promise that you'll be ok now," he said in a quiet voice, giving the impression that he was speaking to a sleeping infant, as he extended his open palm towards her forehead.

"Here," he said forming a small mana sphere, "if you can hear me, please take it in, I removed my own energy signature so it shouldn't be poisonous for you."

To his surprise, the tiny frame in front of him took the mana in so fast, almost as if afraid he'd change his mind any second.

"DON'T YOU DARE IGNORE ME, HUMAN!" the monster flared his massive aura, making the air around him almost unbreathable to others.

The ground underneath him had many deep fissures run across it as he jumped so fast towards the unconscious girl and her saviour.

However, Jaime didn't mind him but instead continued feeding mana in small portions to the unconscious Raven, or rather Kayla, like he was giving a bitter medicine to a stubborn kid.

The monster was beyond furious but unfortunately for him, that also meant he wasn't careful.

The moment he got in range to deliver a deadly punch to the ranker, his vision turned red as a wall of flames erupted from the ground, not only blocking him, but also sending him a couple of meters in the air, while setting his flesh on fire.

The monster quickly shielded himself using his own mana, but not before the flames had severly injured his left arm, taking away any strength he had in it.

It wasn't Jamie's first fight, so he had never let his guard down to start with, but instead kept watch using his senses.

"I'm sorry young one, you'll have to make do with this much for now," he said as he gave her one last mana sphere, "I have to deal with the problem at hand, but my friend should be here any moment now, he'll make sure you get back to normal in no time," His eyes were filled with so much worry, that someone else would've thought they were relatives.

He'd intended to give her some more mana to heal herself, however that one clash between him and the monster made him realize he didn't have the luxury of making that decision.

The monster in front of him was an S ranker for sure, and to make matters worse, he wasn't on the low side of the scale, but again, neither was Jaime.

Standing up calmly and walking a safe distance away from the fallen girl, Jaime had regained his serious look as his eyes flared again and mana covered his body forming a suit of red scorching hot flames.

"Hey, you sure you wanna use your armour this early in the game?" Another youthful voice beamed as Jamie only nodded silently in response.

"Please heal her, Ted, she's in a critical condition," he gestured to Raven's tattered body.

"Already on it," Ted said with a calm smile. "I'll take care of her, you take care of your share, ok?" he couldn't hide the worry in his voice.

It wasn't always that Jaimie would get this serious in a fight, it could only mean that the monster was a threat that needed to be eliminated quickly.

"Ah," Jaime replied with a soft smile as he approached the monster. "Oi, let me teach you our manners on Earth." he said as he cracked his knuckles together while looking the monster in the eyes.

Needless to say, that made his rage reach new heights.

The monster obviously didn't understand his words, but he could tell he was being disrespectful by his body language and tone.

Considering his rage was already at its limits, he decided to go all out.

Raising his hand up high above his head, his mana started to flare violently as flags started to light up and flash red in Jaimie's mind.

However, he still saw that as an opening and took advantage of it.

The monster saw that and only smiled as a huge black sword materialised in his hand.

Feeling the dark energy emitted by the sword, Jaime hesitated for a second before forming his own weapon.

Extending one hand backwards and the other in front of him, thin air made a burning crackle noise as it turned red hot and twisted to form two deep red daggers that rested in his grasp.

The daggers were releasing an aura that threatened to evaporate the monster alive

If anything, they were like the reincranation of a supernova.
