I do not own Slayers in any way, but I wish I had the Sword of Light. The only think I own are my two created characters, who shall remain nameless. Now, on with the show!

New Faces

Ch. 1: Who are You?

Lina, Gourry, Zelgadis, Amelia, and Fillia are seen sitting at a table in a restaurant in Atlas city. Lina and Gourry are pigging out, as usual, and Zel is calmly drinking coffee.
"Miss Lina, what are we doing here?" asked Amelia.
"I told you." said Lina "We're here to investigate some recent attacks on some of the town's people. You saw how much that guy offered us to stop these attacks. Besides, don't you want to help the poor citizens in the name of justice?"
"Well, I guess you're right Miss Lina." Said Amelia.
"What do we know about these attacks?" asked Zel.
"Apparently, most of the attacks were on houses with old documents about ancient magic. The attacks happened at night, with a door or a wall being blown up by a fireball, or something. Its obvious whoever's behind this is doing some research" Said Lina.
"Why would anyone want some moldy old books?" asked Gourry, just as he was trying to take a piece of chicken off of Lina's plate, receiving a thorough whack in the head from Lina.
"Those moldy books had information about magic when it was first being practiced, which makes them very valuable." Stated Lina.
"I think we should find the next place where the culprit will strike next, then wait for them to show themselves." Suggested Fillia.
"Good idea, the only place left in town is a small sorcerer's library on the outskirts of town," Said Lina. "We'll hide in wait, and when they show up, BAM! Now let's have some desert. Hey waiter, bring us 10 gallons of ice cream!"

That night, the group hid in various places in the old library. Zel and Amelia hid behind a desk, Fillia perched herself on a very large bookshelf, while Lina and Gourry Hid in a rather cramped closet.
"Gourry, get off of me!" whispered Lina, trying to make as little noise as possible.
"Sorry Lina, its not like I enjoy being stuck in a small closet with a little girl." Said Gourry,
"What's that supposed to mean!? Wait, what's that?" asked Lina. There was a voice, no, two voices coming from the halls of the library.
"I told you we should have just asked the guy if we could stay here a while, but noooooooo, you had to sneak in, and drag me with you. I should have stayed outside."
"Oh come on, isn't this sort of cool, sneaking into buildings, creeping in the dark, doesn't that seem exciting?"
'Those must be them' thought Lina. "Alright everyone lets get'em!" she shouted. They all jumped from their hiding places and sprang on the intruders, who both gave a cry.
"Alright, we've got you surrounded, there's no use fighting against justice, lets see who you are." Said Amelia. It was too dark to see anything, so Amelia produced a light ball for a clear view of the figures. There were two young men about seventeen to eighteen years old. One was wearing a dragonskined vest with tattered old shorts, leather sandals, and one spiky steel shoulder pad. He had very dark blue eyes, and his hair and his clothing were all a dark blue, with green highlights, like the see at night.
The companion was very different. He wore what looked like a large green tunic with the front and back of it hanging low. There were blue hemispheres connected to the tunic like large buttons on the chest area and the hanging part. He also wore red pants with a yellow sash used like a belt. He had bushy blond hair and light greenish blue eyes, but the most perplexing feature was his large pointy ears.
"Who are you?" asked Gourry very bluntly.
"And why have you been breaking into houses looking for books on magic history?" added Fillia.
"First of all," started the pointy eared one. "We aren't the ones doing all of this. We are trying to find the people who are stealing those books. And secondly, my name is Thinhedel Greenfire, just call me Thin, and this is my friend Owbakus Icthius."
"Thin, you know I hate it when you use my real name!" exclaimed the other one. "You can just call me Ow."
"Why can we believe you?" asked Zel. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion as a nearby wall came crumbling down.
"Because that is the real perpetrator." Remarked Thin quite calmly. Out of the hole in the wall came what looked like a lizard covered in black armor about the size of a small horse.
"What is that thing?" asked Lina.
"That's a brogling," said Ow. "But don't worry, they're not that tough." Gourry drew his Sword of Light, while Zel, Lina , Fillia, and Amelia got ready for a fireball.
"Hey, nice sword." Said Thin to Gourry.
"Thanks, it's the Sword of Light."
"Let's see how tough this thing is." Said Lina. "Fireball!" She threw the magic blast at the brogling, making a direct hit.
"Bull's-eye! Huh?" when the dust gad cleared, the creature was still standing there, without a scratch.
"I thought you said that those things aren't that strong!" shouted Lina. This made the brogling angry, and it lunged at Lina, who rolled away. Everyone kept a safe distance away.
"It looks like it has a magic barrier around it." Noted Thin.
"What's a magic barrier?" asked Gourry.
"Don't you remember anything?" said Lina, slapping him on the head. "A magic barrier nullifies almost all kinds of spells."
"Oh now I remember, like when we had to use the Sword of Light to get into Rezo's laboratory." Said Gourry.
"Hey," said Ow "Only weapons can work on these things. You, they one with the glowy sword, do us a favor and just whack it once to break the barrier. We'll do the rest."
"What about the rest of us?" asked Amelia.
"Just sit back and watch." Said Thin. Gourry then lunged at the brogling, but it ducked out of the way. This kept going on until it knocked Fillia over, which made her drop and crack one of the tea cups she hides in her clothing (don't ask me how). This made her extremely enraged. "You ruined my favorite cup! You will pay!" she said as she lifted her dress and got out that big mace of hers. This gave both Thin and Ow nosebleeds. Fillia then smashed the brogling over the head, which gave Gourry enough time to stab it and break the magic barrier. The brogling jumped back, but instead of being killed, it seemed to tap into some reserved energy source. It gave a screech and pounced at Gourry, who easily sidestepped the assault.
"Alright, stand back." Shouted Thinhedel. He and Ow faced the brogling, getting its attention. Both of them drew a weapon, which hadn't been noticed before. Thin held what looked to be a broadsword, with a hilt that looked like leaves extending out into different directions and an emerald in the middle. It had a strange green glow with one side of it being serrated.
Ow held a large blue ax, which had a spike at the top, and it seemed to be made of ice, which became darker at the edges.
"Let's go!" yelled Ow as he charged at the brogling. He swung his ax down, just barely missing the creature, which back flipped out of the way. But then something happened. As the edge of the ax hit the ground, a trail of icicles traveled along the floor and hit the brogling, freezing it in place. Everyone but Thin and Ow were in awe. Then Thin stepped forward and swung his sword in an upward slash, sending out three razor sharp leave into the creatures frozen chest, causing it to shatter into a hundred pieces.
Thin sheathed his sword in a scabbard on his back, gave Lina a smile and said "Piece of cake."

How do you like it so far? Please review and I'll keep trying to make it better. There is actually a big story to all this that goes into a series I'm working on called "The Jewel Sagas". My series has nothing to do with Slayers; I'm just mixing it in to see how things could be. If you want to see a picture if Thin and Ow, please ask me to send a drawing of them that I did. I hope to put the next chapter up soon.
