A couple of hours later, after Pokota arrives, the group dawns their equipment and makes their stunning entrance for all the city of Seyruun to see. Amelia has to bribe Lina to do the act, but Amelia will do just about anything at this point to make sure her dream goes according to plan.
"Good people of Seyruun," Mr. Announcer says in a deep and overly dramatic voice. He waves his hands above his head and dances across a makeshift stage as he attempts to get Seyruun's attention. They are set up to do this act in one of Seyruun's popular plazas. Grabbing a megaphone loaned to him by Princess Amelia he continues. "It is a great honor to introduce you to the new protectors of hope and justice."
"I will now introduce to you 'THE SLAYERS SAGA!'" Mr. Announcer says shouting at the top of his lungs. "First we have the Violet member of Serenity."
A tall and elegant woman dashes onto the stage and casts a Carrot Elmekia Lance spell into the sky. As the little carrots hit each other they pop in a sparkle of white and yellow lights. The crowd is immediately dazzled and everyone looks at the pretty girl expectantly. Even though Sylphiel is wearing an elaborate purple mask everyone knows who she is. No one else can cast an Elmekia Lance spell quite like Sylphiel can.
All the members of 'The Slayers Sage' team have masks, because all super teams like this one have to wear masks. It makes them seem more mysterious too, even if everyone who has a brain in Seyruun will be able to easily guess the super team's identities.
"Next we have a very talented member," Mr. Announcer begins again. This time the green member casts a ray wing spell and soars above the crowd in a dazzling show of acrobats and tricks. He is obviously showing off his new body. In a dazzling show of figure eights and loops the young man puts on a pleasing show.
The announcer continues. "Meet the Green members of . . .
"Stupidity!" Lina screams into Mr. Announcer's mega phone.
"Miss Lina!" a voice says from nearly out of view. It is the yellow member. "It isn't your turn yet!"
"It's Pokota's fault for showing off!" the girl in red screams back.
After blinking in surprise as the girl dressed in red is dragged out by the one in yellow the announcer corrects Lina. "He is the Green member of Persistence, I apologize Green Member."
Pokota lands from his last aerial stunt and shrugs. He is finding it difficult to contain the fireball aching to be thrown from his right hand, but he'll have his pay back later.
Oh yes he will.
"And now we have the Yellow member of Justice!" Mr. Announcer says as he points at the yellow member. The yellow member is currently standing on top of the highest building in the plaza, pointing at the sky and giving her people a 'V' for victory sign.
The crowd goes crazy for their princess. They whoop and holler, jumping up and down and causing as much of a ruckus as they can within reason.
It is obvious who the town favorite it.
"We also have the mysterious Black Member," Mr. Announcer says nervously as the black member calmly walks to the center of the stage. With a twist of his index finger, the mysterious member sends a cloud of small spiraling cones into the crowd. Hopefully no one is injured. "He is the Black member of Trickery."
Everyone shivers.
"But do not fear!" Mr. Announcer says as he tries to reclaim his audiences lost confidence. "We also have the Blue member of Valiance!"
With a wave of his new replica sword of light, made by Pokota, Gourry leaps onto the stage and waves his sword around in a dazzling arc of pure light. The crowd gazes at the sword in wonder, forgetting all about the creepy display of a certain trickster member moments before.
"And now we have the final member," Mr. Announcer says with growing excitement. "She is the leader of this fine group of law enforcers and she will lead her team to victory! The beautiful, powerful, sorceress genius!"
"Fireball," Lina screams as fire lights up the sky. She poses in her signature Lina way.
The announcer finishes with a dramatic pause before giving her title. "She is the Red member of . . ."
"Insanity!" Pokota screams into the megaphone.
"No, No, No . . . it's . . . its Astonishment! Astonishment!" Lina screams back into the Megaphone grabbing Pokota with her other hand by the collar of his green costume. She really does look crazy screaming into the megaphone and tormenting Pokota. All at the same time too.
Mr. Announcer vacates the stage before anything nasty happens to him by accident.
The crowd goes silent.
"Uh," Lina stops abruptly as she notices the awkward stares of her audience.
She drops Pokota causing him to land hard on his face.
"Anyway thanks for all your support and turning out for our flashy introduction today." Lina says with a sheepish laugh. "It was the Yellow Member's idea."
Everyone cheers.
Lina's eye twitches at the crowd's interruption. She is also jealous because no one cheered when she was introduced.
"QUIET I'M NOT DONE YET!" Lina screams, quickly regaining her audience's attention. She clears her throat and continues. "We have another member on our team, but he ran away. Our first goal as 'The Slayers Saga' is to capture our wayward companion and bring him back for the protection of your fine city. Thank you Seyruun!"
The crowd is again speechless. Did she just say 'capture'? Why do they need to 'capture' another member?
"Thank you good people of Seyruun," The yellow member says with a wave before following her companions off the stage.
Everyone cheers for their beloved princess with a roar that even Zelgadis can hear miles away.
