Slayers Battle
Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with anything about the anime Slayers. Thank you, please stop asking.
"Gourry, wake up you rock head!" Lina yelled, early the next morning. "We have to be ready whenever D' Nar decides to pop in. Even though this popping in and leaving reminds me of "not so nice" trickster priest."
Gourry rolled over in the bed, still not fully awake. At last until the third pillow hit him squarely in the face with the impact of a brick.
"Lina!" he whined, as he sat up, feeling to make sure his face was still somewhat intact. "That hurt!"
"Maybe, it'll get you up a little faster. What's left of breakfast will be downstairs, if you fast enough," she said as she closed the door.
Zelgadiss, who had been up hours before the rest, was already sipping hot tea when Amelia and Lina joined him.
"I'm glad that you decided to stay with us, Mr. Zelgadiss." Amelia said quietly.
"Due to some very good persuasion, I was left with little choice," he replied, casting a quick look in Lina's direction. It was not Amelia's fault, he thought. I need to stop being so hard on the young girl. Beside, despite being a flat-chest redhead, Lina can be quite convincing. Especially when the phrase Dragon-Slave was brought up.
"Morning, everyone." Gourry said lumbering down the stairs, wiping his eyes.
"It's about time, sleepy head. I was just about to eat what was left of you food when..."
"I see you didn't pay attention to that part of my note, Lina," D' Nar said as he popped into view.
"I did, as a matter of fact." Lina stated, rolling up her sleeves. "And I meant to give you my opinion on that matter."
D' Nar started to sweat a little at this and decided to change the subject. "So have you come to your decision?"
Before Lina could say anything, Zelgadiss had a little to say, "Yes, I will accompany you on this journey, but only on one condition."
D 'Nar's gaze darken but remain quiet.
Zelgadiss continued. "You said that there was a spell that could release me from this curse. If you work the spell on me, then I shall help you."
D 'Nar seemed to consider this before he spoke. "I understand your position fully, Zelgadiss, even though this task is much bigger then it seems. The spell that you are looking for is actually a book of spells that we need as well. So your cooperation in helping us retrieve this book would benefit you directly as well."
Zelgadiss sensed his options were limited in this situation, breathed a sigh of resignation, and agreed.
"Great!" exclaimed Lina. "Now that we are all in agreement, lets go bash some monsters!"
"Well...there are a couple of things that need to happen first." D 'Nar mentioned, hoping to survive the glare that Lina had just cast his way. "Nothing really bad." He continued hastily. "There are a couple of more people that I need to get from this plane and a book that has been missing for almost a thousand years before we can cross over."
"A couple of people?" Amelia questioned. "Like, who do you have in mind?"
"I really don't know their names. I was not given that information. I just have a set of instructions to follow. It is the same process that I used to follow each of you. Speaking of which, Gourry, you still have that sword of light?"
"No," Gourry mumbled in reply. "I had to give it back after we beat Dark Star."
"Yeah," Lina continued. "Jelly-fish for brains over here gave over my sword! Can you believe that?!"
"That is unimportant as of right now. We can retrieve the sword at a later time." D 'Nar said, almost to himself. "If you guys are ready, then shall we depart?" he finished with a smile.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
"I wonder how Miss Lina and the others are doing," Filia thought to herself as she began dusting around her house. "It's been around five years since I left them." She actually did not think of Lina and the others very much. She had to get on with her life. Even though the adventure was actually a change of pace for her lifestyle.
She walked to the kitchen, barely noticing the little boy with spiked green hair and a horn, playing in the doorway.
"Val, how many times have I told you not to play in the doorways? Now shoo." Valgrav was gone before she could blink. "Such a nice kid," she thought. "It's such ashamed that we had to meet under the circumstances that we did."
She remembered the "old" Valgrav: Older, yet hateful of everything. Humans, Dragons, Mazoku, it did not matter to him. He hated Lina Inverse with a passion. He blamed her for the death of the Demon Dragon King, Gavv. The only person that he hated more then Lina was Xellos. Even though he ended up get his wish in fighting against Xellos, Valgrav was biting off more then he could chew. Speaking of that namagomi, she wondered what he was doing, against her will of course. She could not stand Xellos. He was probably making some innocent person's life a living hell right now.
She was jerked out of her thoughts by a knock on the door. "Coming!" she yelled, as she ran to the front to answer the door. When she opened it, all she could do was smile and blush. "Miss Lina, I was just thinking about you!"
"Filia?!" Lina said, taken back. As D 'Nar had said, he did not know who the other people were, so they just followed the simple instructions that he was given and they ended up knocking of Filia ul Copt's door. The dragon priestess ushered her friends and their company into her home. "Sit down and tell me what has brought you here," she said after everyone was settled in.
"Well," Lina started. "It's actually his story," she said, thrusting a finger in D 'Nar's direction.
D 'Nar recognized this as his cue to start explaining and he proceed to do so. After he finished telling his story, and had given some time for Filia to think it over, Filia finally spoke. "Ok, I will join you. However, I have to tell Jiras that he has to take care of little Val for a while.
"Jiras, can you come down for a second!" She called out. "Coming sis!" said a little fox with a patch over his eye. "Look Jiras, I am going to have to step out for a couple of days. Keep watch on Val and over the store until I get back. Ok?"
"No problem, sis" said Jiras, giving Filia a salute with a huge smile.
"Thanks," Filia smiled back. "I knew I could count on you." She turned to Lina and the others. "Well, if you would excuse me, I have to go grab a couple of things. I will only be a minute."
"I hope she doesn't bring that mace of her's," D' Nar groaned.
Lina couldn't help but laugh at this. "Why D' Nar, even on another plane, Filia mace is famous. That's one to laugh at!"
"So is you hunger and lack of..........." D' Nar mumbled back.
"What!!!" Lina cried.
"Nothing! It was nothing at all!" D' Nar quickly answered.
Zelgadiss couldn't do anything but chuckle to himself. This is going to be an amusing journey, he thought. He turned his visions to Gourry, who was busy looking around Filia's house. "I better keep an eye on him, before that mace makes a reappearance." He remember when he, Gourry and Lina first meet the dragon priestess. Gourry saw her tail and decided to go investigate. He didn't find the tail, but he found the mace. Zelgadiss allowed himself another chuckle. He had felt the mace before too. It wasn't pretty.
Gourry was looking at a couple of the pictures on the wall. He especially stopped at one that had a young Filia with an older man and a woman. Must be her parents, he thought. The he reconsidered, "do dragon's have parents?" He decided not to spend any more time on it, and he moved on.
Filia appeared a short while later with the statement that she was ready to go. With a final nod of approvement, D' Nar suggested that they went to go get something to eat as he explained their next move. Everyone was in agreement with that.

After they had eaten, Lina looked at D' Nar and asked, "So, are we ready to go back to your plane."
"Not quite," he answered back. "There are a couple of items that I need to retrieve from this world first that will aid us in my own. First thing that we have to get is the Book of Thorn."
Zelgadiss's head jerk up with a start from the sound of this. "Did you just say the Book of Thorn?" he asked, very slowly.
"Yes, I did." D' Nar confirmed. "Why, have you heard of it before?"
"It is rumored to be an ancient magic book written by Rezo the Red Priest." Zelgadiss started. "It is said to have powerful spells and incantations that were forbidden during that time. When I was with Rezo, I asked him about it once or twice but he wouldn't tell me anymore then that."
"It is true. The book is very powerful. However, that isn't all. The book had some help on when it was created. Rezo did not write the book by himself. The book had insight by................
"The Demon King of the North, if I am correct," a voice from another table finished. The group fixed their eyes on a dark figure sitting in the corner. The figure stood and started walking towards them. As it stopped at the table, two hands pushed back the hood, and a beautiful young woman stood before them. "Dynast Grauscherra," she paused. "My master."
