Inferno drove the black Ferrari up to the Direzione Porto Marittimo, a port full of ships that hold lots of cargo. Proiettilo takes 40% of the profits earned by the shipping of the boats. However, there have been reports that a Magia Wizard has been interfering with the ships' arrivals, preventing Proiettilo from gaining any profits. Inferno and Persona are there to stop the Magia Wizard.

"Didn't Minny say that there are consequences of using your Magia in public?" asked Persona.

"Of course," replied Inferno, smiling and holding a lighter, "That's why I'm the executioner. I can only be used in closed spaces to prevent any actual damage."

"Wouldn't that be dangerous then?" asked Persona.

"Not really," smiled Inferno, "I'll only use it for absolute emergencies."

Inferno and Persona got out of the car to find large cargo crates labeled Agip. This was a petroleum company for automobiles. This was the main cargo that profited Proiettilo.

"There should be only us today," said Inferno, "However, Minny called in a dummy cargo ship to lure the Magia Wizard into appearing and preventing it."

After a few minutes, the dummy cargo ship began to make its way to the pier. However, the ship suddenly began to sink.

"This has to be some sort of Magia ability!" said Persona as he hid alongside Inferno behind cargo crates.

Inferno pointed to the sky, directing Persona's attention. In the sky was a floating woman, who seemed to control the ship sinking. According to Minny's intel, her name is Gravitasia. She has Gravity Magia, which allows her to change the gravity of objects big or small.

Inferno and Persona burst out of hiding, readying their weapons. Inferno began firing his mini uzi at Gravitasia. She was hit by two bullets before realizing the presence of the gang members. Soon, Inferno's uzi wasn't hitting its targets. Gravitasia was changing the gravity of the bullets to become so heavy that they would fall to the ground before they even hit her.

"It's useless to use firepower against my Magia," smiled Gravitasia, "I'll singlehandedly take down your wicked organization!"

Suddenly, both Inferno and Persona felt very heavy. She changed their gravity to make them stay in place. Then, the cargo boxes began to float in the air as they lacked in gravity. They moved in place and fell down once again, almost crushing Inferno! The cargo boxes broke from the impact, spilling petroleum all over the concrete port floor.

"I need to close the gap between us!" said Persona before thinking up of an idea, "Inferno! Throw me your mini uzi!"

"Shooting her is useless!" replied Inferno.

"Just give it to me!"

Inferno threw his mini uzi towards Persona. Persona then grabbed it and began to concentrate. Using his Healing Magia, or in this case, Restoring Magia, he began to repair the mini uzi to its original form. This original form is a loaded mini uzi, containing all of its bullets! The bullets that Inferno fired slowly began to return to the mini uzi despite the gravity that was placed upon them.

This includes the bullets that wounded Gravitasia. Soon, Gravitasia began moving towards Inferno's mini uzi, wether she liked it or not! She finally fell to the ground, the bullets coming out of her wounds and returning to the inside of the gun. Gravitasia was angered and stood up, covered in petroleum. Out of frustration, she kicked Persona into the water of the port, slowly pulling him down because of the gravity.

"No! Persona!" yelled Inferno, "I couldn't believe it had to come to this, but I'll have to use my Inferno Magia!"

Lesson #5: When you're cornered, give it your all.

It's not common that a Magia is so rare and powerful that it's named after its user. Inferno's Magia granted him lots of power for the price of inaccuracy. His Magia let him control and manipulate the growth of fire, but can not manipulate the fire to disappear. This is why his Magia has to be contained, for it could kill both friend and foe.

Inferno dropped the ignited lighter onto the ground. Soon, the flames touched the petroleum, turning the whole port into a hellish inferno! The flaming petroleum was also covering Gravitasia. She floated to the air with the use of her Gravity Magia, but it was useless to stop the flames of the inferno. She began disintegrating from the intense heat, screaming in agony as she shriveled away.

Persona gasped for air as he surfaced the water, being released from Gravitasia's Magia. He was in shock from all the fire spreading throughout the port. At this rate, it would reach Venice! Not only that, but it would be difficult to put the fire out since it's Inferno Magia! This was truly a terrifying Magia! Even Inferno couldn't contain it, but at least he was immune to flames.

Persona made his way onto the burning port, thinking of a way to stop the flames.

"Petroleum," thought Persona, "Comes from fossil fuel. I think I'll be able to use my Restoring Magia!"

Persona touched the petroleum, and soon it began transforming into its original form, which turned into carbon evaporating into the air. Soon, all the petroleum vanished and so did the flames that went along with it.

"Wow!" chuckled Inferno, amazed, "Thanks, Persona. Without your Magia, the flames might have reached all the way to Venice. Minny would've scolded me for sure!"

Inferno and Persona entered the garage, only to be awaited by Minny's curious stare.

"Looks like there's a first time for everything," smiled Minny, "You haven't burned a city this time, Inferno."

"...this time?" thought Persona, not wanting to think of the previous times that Inferno was released.

"Anyways," said Minny, "We've finally recovered information about the whereabouts of the last Magia Wizard. He's the leader as well. We can make it to his location in time.

Ready to join, Persona?"
