Naga walked down the street, looking at all of the buildings and people as she passed. 'Seems like home,' she thought.
As she turned the corner, she saw a pair of men harassing a young woman. She also noticed that they were surrounded by people.
'Why isn't anyone helping her? Oh, well, I guess I'd better get to work."
She walked up to the two men and spoke: "Hold it, you two! Just who in the nine Hells do you think you are, torturing a poor, helpless, innocent girl like that?!"
One of the men, a tall, thin blonde with a triangle on his forehead, replied, "Huh, you obviously have been living under a rock all of this time."
The other, a man built like two gorrillas glued together and owner of a similar triangle, continued, "We're sorcerers, and they're commoners. We can do whatever the hell we want with them."
'Well, that explains why no one's helping the girl," Naga thought. "Huh, no one has that right no matter how powerful they are!"
"And who are you to be telling us that?!" the first sorcerer replied.
"My name is Naga Whitesnake. But those who know and fear me call me 'The Extremely Beautiful Sorcery Genius, Naga the Serpent. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA!"
At her laugh, everyone within a five mile radius held their ears and screamed for mercy, even the sorcerers.
"Damn, what an annoying laugh!" yelled the first sorcerer.
"Let's kill the bitch right now!" replied the second.
With their combined efforts, the two were able to produce a fire spell that amounted to little more than a Flare Arrow.
"You call THAT a spell?" laughed Naga. "Let me show you a spell!"
She leapt into the air, and a ball of blue energy formed in her hands. "DEMON CRYSTAL!"
The energy hit the two sorcerers and turned them completely to ice, which she immediately shattered with her sword.
The next thing Naga knew, people were cheering her name and throwing gold coins at her.
She looked around and VERY gratefully accepted the money as an old man walked up to her.
"Excuse me, miss."
"Yes?"
"I would like to thank you, but I have a request to make."
"What is it?" she asked carefully.
"Well, those two sorcerers you killed were working for another, evil sorcerer in the castle about a mile north of here. He's been raising a black dragon, and letting those 'protectors' of his do as they please here. Would you please get rid of this evil being?"
"Do you have more money?"
"Well, uh, we would be glad to pay you for your services..."
"Then just tell me where the highest point in town is."
"Well, that would be the bell tower just over there." He pointed about two yards to his left. "But, why..."
"No time," she said. "I have an evil sorcerer and a black dragon to kill!"
As she climbed the tower, she thought to herself, 'Maybe I can use the spell that I learned watching Lina."
She stopped at the top of the tower and looked at the castle as she began to chant:
"Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows, buried beneath the flow of time is where your power grows. I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand. Let the fools who stand before me be dsetroyed by the power you and I posses! DRAGON SLAVE!"
A huge burst of red energy left her hands and hit the castle, reducing it to smoldering rock, the sorcerer to a pile of ash, and the dragon to a bucket of original recipie.
"Well, tahat was simple."
The moment she exited the tower, people began carrying her off and cheering her name.
"Na-ga! Na-ga!"
She simply let them caryy her off.
Meanwhile, a certain mysterious priest was watching the events.
Around the same time Naga had entered town, Tira and the others were about a mile from it.
"So, lemme get this straight," said Carrot. "We have to go find a sorcerer who's raising a black dragon, kill both him and the beast, and we don't even get a break before-hand?!"
"You shouldn't complain, Darling," Chocolate replied. "At least it's not a Chrono Dragon."
"However," Marron interrupted, "we still have this Xellos and Naga to deal with."
"Yeah," piped up Tira, "just who were they really, anyway?"
Before Gateau got a chance to say anything, they heard a large explosion, followed by people cheering.
"What the hell was that?!" Gateau yelled.
"I don't know," Marron answered, "but we should go find out!"
They ran off towards town, our favorite monster watching from overhead.
Naga walked into the restaurant and looked around. After the townspeople had put her down and threw some money at her (okay, a LOT of money), they granted her request of being told where the best place to eat in town was. She sat down at a small table in the center of the restaurant.
A waiter tried to hand her a menu, but she stopped him. "I've no need of that," she said. "Just bring me three orders of everything on the menu.
"Three orders?!"
"Yeah, I know, it's not a lot, but I'm on a diet."
The waiter simply walked off to fill the order, then returned with her first pint of beer, two bottles of sake, a Bloody Mary, three shots of Scotch, a Mudslide, and a bottle of their finest wine, and finally left to fill the rest of the order.
As she sipped her wine, she noticed Xellos walk in.
"Hey, Xellos! Over here!"
Xellos looked towards the voice, saw Naga, and sat at her table. "Well, hello there, Naga. Fancy meeting you here."
"Well, where the hell have you been?" she asked as the first five courses of her meal arrived.
"Well, before you destroyed that castle with Ruby-eye's spell, I was in the library on the edge of town doing some research on this world we're in."
"And what did you find?"
"Well, firstly, we're in a place called the Spooner Continent. There are two classes of people here. Sorcerers, who can use magic, and Commoners, who can't. The sorcerers rule over the commoners, sometimes quite unfairly.
"That's where our friends from earlier come in. There is a small band of warriors whose job it is to kill these evil sorcerers. They are known as the Sorcerer Hunters. They also destroy magics so dangerous that they have been declared forbidden. That's pretty much all we need to know right now."
"Hm, oh well. Anyway, if we meet then again, you'll have to take out that shape-shifter."
"Why is that? Aren't you any good with that sword?"
"Yeah, but I can't stand the sight of blood."
"Why not?" "Will you please just do as I ask?!" "All right, all right, no need to yell. By the way, is it alright if I eat some of what you've ordered?"
"Sure, I'm on a diet anyway."
With that, they ended their conversation and began their feast, watching course after course arrive at their table.
Tira and the others walked down the street in extreme confusion.
"I don't get it," said Tira. "Why would a sorceress act as a mercenary?"
"I'm not quite sure," replied Marron as they entered the restaurant, "but the only bad thing I've heard the people say about her is that her laugh is worse than a banshee's cry."
"Speaking of the banshee," said Gateau, "look who's stuffing their faces."
They all looked towards where Gateau was pointing and saw both the Mysterious Priest and the newfound hero eating their fill.
"Should we go up to them?" asked Chocolate.
"Hello! Tira! Chocolate! Carrot! Marron! Gateau!" yelled Xellos. "Why don't you come join us? I believe we have some explaining to do!"
They decided to accept his invitation and sat down at the table.
"What's this about, exactly?" asked Tira.
"Well," began Xellos, "let me explain." He then told them everything about their own world up to how they got to this world, leaving out their own pasts. Of course, he didn't know about Naga's, so he couldn't have said anything if he wanted to. He also told what they'd learned of this world, and asked them to fill in any details if necesary. "And that's everything."
The Hunters thought about this for a while, up until Marron spoke up. "I see. In that case, I have a proposition I would like to make."
"We're listening," said Naga.
"I see that you've killed the evil sorcerer and his dragon. He was actually our next target. How's this: if you held us on some of our upcoming missions, we'll help you two find a way home."
"Seriously?" pondered Naga.
"Of course," replied Marron.
"WHAT?!" exclaimed Tira. "Are you out of your mind?! How do you know we can trust them?!"
"How do we know that we can trust you?" replied Xellos. But Tira still had something to say.
"Well, look at Naga! She'll be an EXTREME distraction to Carrot!"
"Don't worry, I have something that will frighten him away." With that, Naga stood up and did the most horrifying thing she could do. "AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH!"
That one sound scared everyone out of the building except Xellos, the Hunters, and the restaurant's staff, who were all holding their ears.
"Well, okay," said Tira, "as long as you don't use it too often."
Naga and Xellos whispered to each other for a while.
"Mr. Marron Glace," said Xellos, "you have yourself a deal!"
**********************************************************************
Well, Xellos and Naga are Hunters now, and no, I have no intention of covering Naga's beautiful body the way Tira and Chocolate's are. If I did that, she wouldn't be Naga. And yes, the ruby was Rezo's. Next time, I'll go into what Lina and the others are up to, and in future chapters, Amelia will explain how she knows Naga is her sister, and Naga will explain her past to Xellos, and possibly Marron. Until then, Read, review, and be merry! (Sorry, bad joke.)
