Naga and the others saw Dalaran in the distance.
"We're almost there!" Naga exclaimed.
Everyone came two a stop, however, when a pair of corpses fell from the sky and landed just a few feet in front of them. One was a purple-haired female human, the other a large male Troll.
"Zul'jin! Ayeka!" Tira exclaimed.
"Bingo!"
They all looked towards the voice to see Morrigan.
"That Troll was pretty hard to kill, and you just wouldn't believe how tenacious that stupid human was." "Daemon bitch!" yelled Gateau, preparing to attack.
"Ah, so you want to fight me now? But you were so afraid of me back at Ayeka's castle. Oh, well, guess I'll just have to kill you insects as well!"
She summoned a flaming sword and rushed Naga and the others.
"POLYMORPH!"
In an instant, the daemoness became nothing more than a sheep.
"Miss Whitesnake," said the human male member of the Tor, "we must speak immediately in the Tower."
As the members of the Tor chanted and held the artifacts, a rift formed inside the chamber. When the ritual was complete, another gateway had been created.
"What is this?" inquired Marron with awe.
"This," said the Tor leader, "is a Dark Portal. It will take you near the Katato Mountains of Naga's world. You must take these artifacts and destroy Kil'jaden before he summons Sargeras.If Sargeras is resurected, these worlds may not survive. Now, hurry and go!"
The Hunters and Naga took the items and ran into the portal, Xellos following a little ways behind.
"Why do you hesitate, Xellos?!" demanded the Tor leader.
"Why, I just wanted to thank you," Xellos responded, "for allowing the Monster Race to destroy our world on our own terms." With that, Xellos ran into the portal.
"YOU DID WHAT?!!!!"
Lina was beyond pissed at this point. She even had Zelas shaking.
"L-L-Lina, y-y-you're not g-g-gonna D-D-Dragon Slave us, are you?"
"Gourry, I'm ready to GIGA SLAVE YOU TWO!" She even began to chant, when a rift appeard, followed shortly by a stone gate. What surprised them the most was that seven figures ran out, one immediately recognized by Lina.
"XELLOS! You crazy priest! Where the HELL have you been?!" "SISTER!"
Everyone turned to watch Amelia get Naga in a spine-crushing hug.
"God, I missed you so much!" Amelia exclaimed, tears running down her face.
"Hi... sis... it's... great to... see you... too..." Naga responded in extreme pain.
"So lemme get this straight," said Lina, "you and Xellos were blasted into another world by a stray fireball and now we have to kill one daemon to keep him from resurecting another?"
"That's about it," said Chocolate. "Will you help us?" "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
"But why not?!" demanded Tira.
'I've already had to deal with two lunatic priests, a copy of one, and not just one, but FOUR Dark Lords! There's no way I'm getting involved in this!"
Just then, a dragon-shaped shadow passed over Lina and the others. However, when they looked up, all they saw was a letter fall from the sky. Zelgadis caught it.
"It's for you, Lina."
"Y-you open it, Zel," said Lina, nervous as to who it might be from.
"All it says is, 'Just do it! -Sis.'" "ARRRRRRGGGHHHHH! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'll help!"
"So where do we go from here?" asked Chocolate.
"Most likely Kil'jaden will head for the place with the greatest power to resurrect Sargeras," stated Marron. "What places like that are here?"
"I can only think of one," said Zelgadis, "the place where The Dark Lord Ruby-Eyed Shabranigdo fought the Flare Dragon King Cephied."
"But, Mr. Zelgadis," said Amelia, "that's in the middle of an ocean AND miles from here!"
"Why don't we have Xellos teleport us?" said Naga.
"Speaking of which," said Filia, "where did that piece of garbage go?"
As if on cue, Xellos appeared before them, Beastmaster, Orbius, and Deathwing in tow.
"Lord Beastmaster," Xellos said, "these are the Sorcerer Hunters. Hunters, may I introduce to you the Dark Lord Beastmaster Zelas Metallium."
"I think we can help you get to the battlefield," said Zelas. "Come touch our shoulders."
The others did so, and before they knew it, they were at the legendary battlefield (for the second time for some). What they saw there wasn't a good thing, however. They saw great power flowing through Kil'jaden.
'It's almost time,' he thought to himself.
"We have to kill him before he finishes that spell!" yelled Zelgadis.
They all threw their strongest attacks at him, fighting off minions and daemons along the way, but they couldn't get through his shield.
"Damn, that shield's too strong!" exclaimed Lina. "Even a Dragon SLave didn't get through!"
That's when they felt it. The entire battlefield trembled. And from the waters rose a large, daemonic form. His eyes glowed a bright yellow. His fangs were sharper than a thousand swords.
The Daemonlord Sargeras had been resurrected.
"Finally, I have returned from my imprisonment in death!" the behemoth exclaimed.
"Master..."
Sargeras looked down at Kil'jaden. "What is it?"
"I, your humble servant, who brought you back, meekly request a reward." "A reward?" Sargeras held his hand towards Kil'jaden, and the lesser daemon vanished. "My amusement through your eternal suffering shall be your reward!" He looked towards Lina and the others. "Would you pathetic creatures try and destroy me?"
"Well, we sure as hell won't just LET you destroy everything!" said Lina.
Sargeras merely laughed. "Haha, your courage is admirable, however pointless. Fine then, I'll let you have the first attack. I'll even sit here while you plan it!"
Naga and the others got in a circle, constantly eyeing Sargeras.
"Any ideas?" asked Zelgadis.
"Just one," said Naga. "A spell powerful enough to destroy even the Lord of Nightmares. The Coalition Annihilation. But, I need to be charged with energy from Black, Holy, and White magic."
"Sylphiel and I can take care of some black with a pair of Dragon Slaves," suggested Lina. "And Xellos can pour some energy in too."
"I can take care of the Holy magics," said Filia.
"AMelia and I will take care of the White with a pair of Rah Tilts," Zelgadis stated.
"The rest of us wil distract him while you chant the spell, should he change his mind," said Marron.
"All right, let's do it!"
They separated, and while Zelas, Orbius, Deathwing, Gourry, and the Hunters attacked Sargeras, who merely laughed off these attempts, Naga began reading the spell from the Book of Medivh, all artifacts in hand.
"Lords of Darkness, keepers of eternal night, give me the power to destroy even the Gods!"
A shield formed around Naga, and Lina and Sylphiel fired Dragon Slaves at it, which were absorbed. Xellos' provided energy met a similar fate.
"Masters of Light, guardians of the brightest day, give me the courage to face off against the strongest foe!" The shield glowed brighter, and Zel and Amelia hit it with Rah Tilts, while Filia pumped Holy magic into it.
"Forces of Good and Evil of our world, unite and destroy all those who would destroy this world's balance!"
The shield glowed even brighter, and Naga began levitating above the ground, as she chanted the last two words:
"COALITION ANNIHILATIOOOOOOOOOOONNNN!!!!!!" The shield became a pillar of swirling energies, which in turn took the shape of a serpentine dragon on a collision course with Sargeras.
Unfortunately, he blocked the eternal dragon.
"Damn, this spell is quite powerful. This has to be that damned Medivh's work! It's taking most of my concentration to keep it at bay. Hm, hm, but how long can you keep this up mortals?! HAHAHA!"
"Guys, keep pumping energy into it!" Lina commanded. "Maybe we can break through!"
Naga, however, was having doubts. 'No... I've failed... we're all gonna die... and its my fault..."
"Don't you dare believe that, Gracia...'
'What? I know that voice... mother?'
"Gracia, my daughter, you have had a weapon more powerful that the Giga Slave, even more powerful that this. A blade sharper than the Sword of Light, an armor stronger than the toughest steel. You're confidence , my child.'
'My... confidence?'
'Yes. You know what to do, Gracia.'
'Thank you, mother.' Naga began chuckling.
"What's so funny?!" demanded Sargeras.
"Ha! You think you have us beat, but I still have one more ace in my hand!"
"And what, praytell, is that?!" "My confidence in myself! My spirit that can never be broken! For I am the greatest and most beautiful sorceress in this or any other world! I am Naga the Serpent!" She then took in a deep breath and did the one thing that could frighten even the Lord of Nightmares:
"OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHHOHO-OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO-OOHOHOHOHOHHOHOHOH-OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH-OHOHOHOHOHOHOH!"
"AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!! WHAT IS THAT HIDEOUS SOUND?! IS IT THAT HUMAN?!"
Naga continued to laugh, as the others continued to power the spell.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!" Sargeras moved his hands to his ears. However, in doing so, he lost his concentration on the shield spell and was thusly destroyed.
The energy dissipated.
"I... I... did it..." Naga said as she fell to the ground.
When Naga awoke, she was near the Portal.
"What... wait... how am I alive? That spell was supposed to kill me!"
"Guess your spirit's too strong," said Gateau.
"We have to leave now," said Tira.
"Man, it was great workin' with you guys!" said Carrot.
"I hope we get to see you guys again!" said Chocolate.
"Farewell," said Marron, as the Hunters walked back through the Portal.
"So how do we close the portal?" asked Zelgadis.
"The Kirin Tor on the other side will take care of that," said Naga.
"My minions and I shall return to our castle," Zelas said. "Xellos, I expect a full report on what happened from the time you disappeared in one hour." With that, she, Orbius, and Deathwing vanished.
"Well, I guess I'd better figure out my report," stated Xellos. "Farewell!"
Filia had already changed into her dragon frorm. "I've porbably left Garvos and Jillas with little Val long enough. Bye!" she said, flying off.
"I'm going home to Seyruun," said Amelia. "Mr. Zelgadis? Miss Sylphiel? Would you two like to come with me?" "Of course," said Sylphiel. "It would be an honor."
"Sure, why not?" stated Zel. "Maybe I can find a cure there."
"Well, I guess that means you're going home to see your father again, huh, Naga?" said Lina.
Naga walked right up to Lina. "Of course not! There's no way I'm letting a shrimply little sorceress like you take all of the glory and gold and adventure and leave me behind!"
"So you're following me?!" "Yup, Lina, you're stuck with me." Lina sighed. "Oh well, I guess It'll be like old times, except now we've got Gourry!" "Let's go! Adventure, fame, and gold await us ahead! OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!"

It's over. I meant for it to be longer, but I ran out of ideas. Thank you to all who have read this and put up with me. I greatly appreciate it.
If any of you are Magic: the Gathering players, I have a question: does Lin Sivvi die during the Phyrexian Invasion or in the century following?
Once again, I thank you for reading. Please watch for any of my future fics. Review if you like, flame horribly if you feel the need. All comments are appreciated. And now, I bid you a fond farewell.
