Notes: This, people, is what originally started this WHOLE thing. This song is so odd, and the paody I did got stuck in my head, so I wound up singing it in actual play practice. ^.^o...Now my drama teacher thinks I'm on drugs.

CHAPTER THREE: MAZOKU WILL PROVIDE

[Vrumugun and Zangulus walk out on a black background]

Vrumugun: Xellos had plans for Zelgadis. What those plans were, however, were unknown to the chimera.

Zangulus: So Xellos took Zel to his happy little hangout place, to meet his 'friends'. Of course, Zelgadis would have been happy to just be left alone to angst, but Xellos wouldn't have that!

Vrumugun: At the designated location, which seemed to be almost in another dimension, Zelgadis was confronted by four strange beings.

Zangulus: So, let's get the party started, ne?

[The background comes into focus as the Mazoku lair. Zellas, Phibrizzio, Gaav and Valgarv were all there, going about normal Mazoku business, not noticing the new entries.]

Zelgadis: Um... are you sure this is such a good idea? Your friends look a bit...odd.

Xellos: [grins] You should talk Zel-chan. And anyways, these guys are the the best at what they do.

Zelgadis: Which is?

Xellos: [leans in closer to his face] Sore wa himistu desu!

[Zelgadis looks worried. Xellos yanks him by the arm to the middle of the room against his will.]

Xellos: Moshi moshi, minna-san! Look what I brought home!

[Everyone looks at the two. Zelgadis turns red.]

Zellas: [steps up] Well well...what's this?

Xellos: I kinda...tripped over him...[smirks]...His name's Zegadis. I thought he should meet you, if you catch my drift.

Zelgadis: What's that supposed to mean?

Zellas: It means, dear little chimera, that Xellos here thinks you'd do well to learn a thing from us.

Zelgadis: I still don't get it.

Zellas: [turns to Xellos] You mean you didn't tell him yet?

Zelgadis: [getting upset] Tell me what? What's wrong with you people?

Xellos: Well...Zel, you're not the only one who's not quite human around here...^.^...You're hanging with Mazoku now.

Zelgadis: o.o...You've got to be kidding me...

Zellas: Afraid not, young one. And Xellos wants you to be the newest member!

Zelgaids: O.O...Um...thanks, but no thanks...[starts backing up towards the exit]

[Zellas laughs and grabs his arm]

Zellas: [sings] But to this group now, the earth sings! As soon as the fun begins. And chimera, my friends, will realize, He was making new friends.

[The other three figures come out of the darkness.]

Phibrizzio: Phibrizzio!

[Zelgadis tries to get away, but Zellas is still latched to him, and the others are now blocking the door.]

Gaav: Gaav!

[Phibrizzio and Gaav start arguing, until someone walks through and stop them.]

Valgarv: Valgrav!

[Xellos grabs Zelgadis' other arm.]

Xellos: And Xellos!

Zelgadis: [worried] Yeah? Nice to meet you and all, but I should be going...

All: Young chimera, you stand tall With Mazoku, you'll have a real ball!

[Zellas drags Zelgadis to the other side of the room]

Zellas: You've never been to us play, child You're gonna need a helping hand A fish has got to learn to swim on land!

[Xellos yanks Zelgadis away from Zellas and starts leading him away.]

Xellos: Walk with me little one Don't you look afraid Follow me little one Let me be your giude A pretty thing like you-

[He taps Zelgadis on the nose and the chimera blushes.]

Xellos: -Will need a thing or two And whatever you need Mazoku will provide!

[Zellas moves behind the two and spins Zelgadis around, tearing him away from Xellos.]

Zellas: Oh, down the road little one You may lose your way All alone in a world That may seem to wide Let the magic work With a snap or jerk And whatever you need Mazoku will provide!

[She drags him back to the center, where all the others circle him.]

Zellas: We'll provide you:

Phibrizzio: Fun!

Zellas: The best in the whole land!

Gaav: Power!

Zellas: To make you so grand!

Valgrav: Contacts!

Zellas: The best you'll ever meet!

Xellos: Pain!

Zellas: I think that's so sweet!

Phibrizzio: Fire!

Zellas: To kill all the flowers!

Gaav: Time stop!

Zellas: To waste away the hours!

Valgarv: Evil!

Zellas: To come from your hands!

Xellos: [blurts] Me?

[Everyone looks at him.]

Zellas: HA!

[She drags Zelgadis away again.]

Zellas: Forget Xellos, little one He will make you fall I see that in your eyes you look terrified But you will make it through 'Cause we are liking you! And whatever you need Mazoku will provide!

All: O----oh!

[Xellos pushes Zelgadis away from Zellas]

Xellos: Walk with me little one And I'll take you far! 'Round each bend little friend I'll be by your side That's is what I am worth To give this child the earth! And whatever you need Mazoku will...

[Xellos phases out with Zelgadis, leaving the other Mazoku. The two pop up back on the sidewalk where they met.]

Zelgadis: o.O

Xellos: -Proviiiiiiiiiide!

[Music ends and the frame freezes. Zangulus and Vrumugun walk back on.]

Zangulus: Told ya he was a demon!

Vrumugun: -.-o...It seems Xellos changed his mind. But why? And what of Zelgadis? What will happen now that he is known my the Mazoku? And how will all this affect Xellos?

Zangulus: You're asking too many questions! They don't know!

Vrumugun: I am merely setting a mood.

Zangulus: Yeah, well, you sound like a school test I never studied for...

Vrumugun: [crosses his arms] Fine. Then YOU can narrate by yourself.

Zangulus: Fine! [clears his throat] And so...um...Xellos and Zelgadis weren't at the Mazoku place anywhere. But that wasn't the end.

Vrumugun: [sarcastic] Oh, that is a GREAT narration...

Zangulus: Hey, I thought I was doing this myself! [Vrumugun shrugs and leans on a wall. Zangulus continues.] So, tune in for more next time!

A/N: Yeah. I'm trying to do better at dialouge here, if ya can't tell. Review, or I'll give you my cold! ^.^
