"Hi, Lina Inverse here. So I catch an awful cold where I sneeze fire
and so Xellos suggests a remedy to the others of a fish broth. However, the
only place where there's fish nearby is a lake miles away. The others don't
know that the lake is actually full of Fish People (fish with human arms
and legs ) and fishing there is considered a felony. So the others find
themselves caught up in a Fishy Situation where for a punishment, they are
to be sacrifices to a Demon that threatens the Fish People. Can I make it
to the others in time? What is Really going on with the Fish People? Where
is that loud, annoying and oh too familiar laugh coming from? Read "Slayers
Go Fish" and find out. Who knows what'll happen."
Slayers Go Fish; Clash of the Fish People
The slayers are staying at an inn. Gourry was happily eating breakfast at a table downstairs when Zel and Amelia joined him.
"Say, where's Miss Lina?" Amelia noticed.
Gourry stopped eating, looked up and for the first time that day realized that Lina wasn't there.
"You know, I thought it was too quiet and easy for me to eat this morning...." He said.
"How long have you been here eating like this?" Zelgadiss asked.
"For about an hour," replied Gourry, returning to eating his food.
"You've been down here for AN HOUR and you only noticed Miss Lina isn't here because we said something?!"
"This isn't like Lina, usually she's the first one here. If not the sounds and smells of food would surely lead her here, then she'd do her usual routine..." commented Zel, pointing to an image cloud where Lina is fighting with Gourry over food as Zel and Amelia join them.
"Mister, a cup of coffee over here! God knows Zel can't get through one day without his coffee!" she'd rudely tease.
Back with the matter at hand; Zel and Amelia look sternly at Gourry.
"Go and see what's keeping her," they demanded.
"What, why me?" Gourry asked.
"You have been eating for an hour and we just sat down to eat. We'll be leaving soon and so you should go and see what's going on with Lina," explained Zel, sipping his coffee.
Gourry shrugged his shoulders and sighed in defeat. He stood up and walked up the stairs to the room. He tried to remember what room Lina was in, when he finally remembered he knocked on the door.
"Lina, hey Lina! Wake up, come on! If you don't hurry I'll eat all of your breakfast too or we'll leave before you have a chance to eat!" Gourry shouted through the door.
"Go away, I'm not hungry!" snapped Lina's strange voice from her room.
"What, not hungry!!!!" panicked Gourry's mind.
Never, never, ever had Lina turned down food before and he panicked on what would make her say that. So he threw open the door and ran inside. Lina was still in bed with redness in her face.
"I said; go away," mumbled Lina, not opening her eyes.
"Why? Are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine it's just that I have a.... a... a....choo!" replied Lina and she sneezed.
When she sneezed, she sprung sitting up in bed, turned to where Gourry was and a stream of fire shot out of her mouth and scorched Gourry.
".... A cold," she finished, with a stuffy voice.
"A cold?! You call THAT a cold?! I'd hate to see your version of Heat Flashes," commented Gourry in surprise.
In a minute, Zel and Amelia walked in.
"What happened? We heard a horrible racket going on in here," asked Amelia.
That's when Lina sneezed another fire sneeze, this time right on Amelia. Amelia stood toasted and dazed.
"I have a cold," repeated Lina.
"I've never heard of a cold that shoots out fire when you sneeze!" said Gourry.
"It might not be just a simple cold. It could be Flaming Pneumonia," mused Zel aloud.
"Flaming Pneumonia? What's that?" asked Gourry and Amelia in unison.
"It only occurs with high-powered sorcerers. It's when a sorcerer's power conflicts with the limits of the person's body..." began Zel.
Then he looked and saw a blank look on both of their faces.
"In other words; when a sorcerer's magic powers become stronger that the normal limit that the body can handle, the two fight each other to see if the body's limit can increases to match up with magic power. When the two fight, they cause magic power to combust and that's why flames are emitted," corrected Zel.
"I still don't get it but as long as it's nothing too serious. Is there anything we can do about the sneezing?" asked Gourry.
"Just let her sleep. There's nothing that can be done about that but the more she sleeps, the better. We'll just go downstairs and finish breakfast," replied Zel.
Okay, Mr. Zelgadiss. Miss Lina, don't worry; we'll stay here at the inn until you get better. You can sleep all that you need to," encouraged Amelia.
"Thanks," mumbled Lina's voice.
So the group left Lina's room, walked down the stairs and sat back down at their table... then sighed heavily.
"This is going to be such a boring day!" groaned Amelia.
"Yeah, we were supposed to do a lot of action-stuff things today," added Gourry.
"Today will certainly be a slower pace than what we're used to," added Zel.
"You're right, you guys are boring," interjected a familiar voice.
Xellos appeared, sitting in the chair that Lina would normally sit at.
"Mr. Xellos, what are you doing here?" asked Amelia.
"Well, it's a boring day around even for me; so I came to see if you guys were doing anything exciting. However, with Lina sick, that will be difficult," replied Xellos.
"Say Xellos, you know a lot of weird stuff, right? Do you know if there is anything we can do to help with Lina's sneezing fire thing?" Gourry asked.
"Hmm, as a matter of fact I can think of a remedy for that. A fish broth soup should do the trick," said Xellos.
"A fish broth soup? If you haven't noticed, there are no bodies of water anywhere near this town. They don't even have fish on the menus at any restaurants in this town. Where do you suppose we get the fish?" tested Zel, suspiciously.
"We Mazoku do have our secrets but for entertainment value I'll tell you. There is a lake about five miles away from here. It has been forbidden to anyone for years and not even mentioned on any maps. That's because the Monster Race have claimed it as their own personal lake but they lost interest in it. So now even we don't use it anymore and it is full of fish," explained Xellos.
"We should go there and get fish for Miss Lina!" cheered Amelia.
"Yeah!" agreed Gourry just as cheerful.
"Yeah," agreed Zel in a huff.
So Gourry, Amelia and Zel leave the inn, walked down the large hill, which the town was sitting on and walked through the forest, which laid at the bottom. Xellos stands at the edge of the hill and overlooks them, saying
"This should be very interesting,"
The group walked for miles through forests of trees until they finally spotted the lake. It was large for a normal-sized lake and tiny huts sat around the shore.
"I wonder if there were Monsters living here," assumed Amelia.
"I'd say so. Hey, do any of you have a fishing pole?" asked Gourry.
"I do, Xellos tied to end of my cape..." sighed Zel, indicating the fishing pole which was stuck in a knot at the end of Zel's cape.
"I'll do the fishing!" volunteered Gourry.
Gourry walked over to the pole, ripped it out of Zel's cape, walked over to the lake and started fishing.
"You know I just had a thought," interjected Amelia.
"What's that?" Gourry asked.
"What if Miss Lina wakes up suddenly, sneezes accidentally catches the inn on fire and falls back asleep while we're here fishing?"
"Amelia, don't say things like that! Keep things like that to yourself!" scolded Gourry and Zel, trying not to worry about that.
They waited for a few minutes until there was finally a tug on the line and Gourry pulled the fish out of the water. It was a very small Fish Person (for my own amusement, I sometimes call them "Noonsas").
"Oh, so there are fish people in this lake, too? Well, throw it back and see if you can catch another fish," suggested Amelia.
So Gourry did as he was told and started fishing again. This time, he caught an even bigger Noonsa. That's when it was revealed that the entire lake was full of Fish People.
"Mr. Xellos tricked us! We can't use these kinds of fish for the broth soup!"
"Lina would kill us if she ever found out. She'll eat just about anything but she refuses to get to close to them... because of something," mumbled Zel, blushing.
"What's that?" asked Amelia.
She interrupted by fire cracking. They looked to see that Gourry had tied the Noonsa and started a campfire.
"Mr. Gourry, what are you DOING!" shouted Amelia.
"Well, I'm hungry and if Lina isn't going to use, plus it's too big to throw back into the lake; I'll just eat it so it doesn't go to waste," explained Gourry.
"But it has human arms and legs..." began Zel.
"I'll just eat around them,"
Amelia and Zel turned green in the face, then they hear a loud shrill of a whistle.
"Stop right there!" interrupted a voice.
A second later, a figure splashed out of the lake. It was a Noonsa with a blue police cap on its head, a police badge on him and carrying a whacking stick, which he slapped into his hand.
"You violators are under arrest!" he declared.
"Violators, what's going on here? What did we do?" panicked Amelia.
"This lake is the kingdom where us Fish People live anybody who violates our laws are placed under arrest and punished!" replied the Police Fish Man.
"What exactly are we being arrested for?" demanded Zel.
"Kidnapping a minor, kidnapping with the intent of murder, attempted murder for trying to eat him, fishing without a license, and fishing in a Non-fishing zone!" replied the Police Fish Man.
"What should we do?" asked Gourry.
"If we fight them, we'll make things worse and look like real villains," reasoned Zel.
"Ah, we're VILLANS!" cried Amelia .
"Oh, I wish Lina was here!" cried Gourry.
Meanwhile, Xellos was still watching from the edge of the hill, overlooking the lake.
"Things are going according to plan," he boasted to himself. That's when Xellos detected a figure behind him, he turned sharply to see who it is.
