Zel: begrudgeingly Hello, my name is Zelgadis Greywyrs. A typical manic depressant human-turned-chimera by my grandfather/greatgrandfather Rezo the Red Priest. In trying to find my cure I have unknowingly transported myself to the mysterious world of El Hazard without a means of return home. What is going to happen to me in this unpredictable place?
"It's the Eye of God!" Alielle finally shouted as they watched in horror. "Makoto, quick! We have to get you there so you can stop it!" She grabbed his hand and tried to drag him back to the ship, but he held his ground.
"Alielle, we can't leave Chico behind. Not after all he's done for us. We have to make Jinnai let him go!" Everyone else didn't exactly like it, but they agreed. The seven started for the city, only to be meeted in route by Jinnai himself.
"Makoto! What are you still doing here? Can't you see that the Eye of God is trying to blow us up again?"
"Jinnai, let Chico go!"
"There isn't time for that, Makoto! If you don't get going it will be too late!"
Makoto shook his head. "No! I'm not leaving until we get Chico back."
Nanami stamped her foot. "Yeah, you stupid jerk! Let Chico go right now, or you can kiss all your plans to take over El Hazard goodbye!"
Jinnai had to admit that Nanami was right. Makoto and him could argue for hours on end about letting Chico go, but at the moment every second doing that without getting any closer to stopping the Eye might be a second too many. And he already once told Ifurita once before that he can't be Lord God of Nothing.
He turned to one of the nearby bugrum "You! Go get Chico right away! Bring him immediately to their ship. What are you waiting for, get going now! There isn't a moment to lose!" Turning back to Makoto and his friends, he said, "You better get going for the Eye as soon as they bring him to you..."
Nodding to his rival, Makoto turned to leave.

In the prison in question, Chico had no doubt that Makoto and his friends were going to save him soon. But he still needed something to do while he waited. It had to be something that wouldn't take too long, and wasn't so much fun that he didn't want to be rescued when they finally came. While the second condition was most definately met, trying to teach Gourry how to count to 5 on every attempt wasn't like taking a breath. Another task Gourry was having difficulty with at the time, due to the fact that Chico had gotten quite frustrated with him and was strangling the swordsmen's throat.
Fortunately for the blonde blockhead the door opened. The escorting bugrum looked at Chico. "The Eye of God... You're being released so the humans will stop it. Hurry up."
Chico let go of Gourry, and started to follow the escourt. Gourry followed close behind, only noticed by the guard. If the guy said they were being let go, he wasn't going to protest.
As for the guard himself, he didn't care about this other person who is with Chico. He knew that the Eye was getting ready to destroy the world again. From the other one's actions, the guard figured that Chico was somehow needed to stop the Eye, and he couldn't waste time figuring out what the other one was doing here.
* * * * *
As he walked down the hallways, Jinnai started to laugh. "Oh, that stupid Makoto! He's going to be too buzy saveing El Hazard to notice that I've given him a fake Chico. Too bad I can't tell him how much of a loser he is just yet without spoiling my plans... But I can at least tell Chico what a mistake it was from him to switch to the losing side!" As he approached the door, the guard started to sweat. He could tell already that something was wrong.
"Chico, you pathetic traitor. How does being a loser fee--" Jinnai looked all about the room, but no Chico. He turned to the guard and vented his rage. "How could you let Chico escape? Where you sleeping on the job?"
The guard shook his head violently, and told Jinnai about the escort who claimed to be under Jinnai's orders to let Chico go.
"What? The idiot was supposed to give them the fake Chico! Everyone hurry, we have to stop him before he ruins my plans!"
* * * * *
The escort, Chico, and Gourry were getting near an intersection when they got surrounded by the bugrum sent to stop the real Chico from getting set free.
Gourry turned to Chico. "What's going on? I thought they were letting us go."
Chico jumped, not knowing that the moron was right behind him. "Apparently they changed their minds."
"Changed their minds? Well, if they want to capture Gourry Gabriev again, They'll have to fight me this time around." With lightning speed, Gourry draw his sword and slashed through the three that blocked the path straight ahead. While the corpses dropped to the floor, the other blocked paths suddenly cleared up as well.
Putting his sword away, gourry turned to Chico and the escort. "What are you waiting for, let's go!"
The two bugrum looked at each other and gulped. They didn't even see Gourry run past them when he cut through those guys. But reguardless of that, they had to hurry if they wanted Makoto to save the world from the Eye.

Back in Rashtaria, Lons got to Princess Rune's room with Lina following close behind. From what she heard from Lons on the way over, the Eye was an ancient weapon that was powerful enough to destroy the world if it wasn't properly controlled. It sort of reminded Lina of her Giga Slave spell. She also learned that the control required to keep the Eye from destroying the world could only be wielded by the combined efforts of Princess Rune, who they were now going to see, and someone named Makoto from yet another world altogether.
Hastily he opened the door. Princess Rune looked up at him from her bed. "Well it's about time, Lons..."
"No time, your highness. The Eye of God has been activated again, you must get ready to stop it once Makoto returns."
Lina didn't like the sound of that. By the time this Makoto got here, it might be too late. She decided to try something. "Um, Princess. Mind if I ask you something?"
Rune turned to the stranger she now noticed in her room. "Lons, who is this?"
"Princess, her name is Lina Inverse, and apparently she is from another world, different from Makoto's."
Lina bowed politely to the princess before speaking again. "Is it safe to assume that you would never use the power of the Eye of God?"
"Of course I wouldn't? What do you mean by asking me something like that?"
Lina scratched her head. "Well, I don't think you can wait for this Makoto that Lons told me about. I was going to suggest that you let me try to destroy the Eye instead of you and him turning off it's power."
Both Lons and Rune Venus looked shocked. "D-Destroy the Eye? You can do that?"
"I think so. Does it have anything it could use to protect itself from attacks?"
Rune Venus shrugged. "I don't really know. I never heard of anyone trying to destroy it."
Lina nodded. There was a first time for everything. "So... Does a thousand gold coins sound like a reasonable fee?"
Rune Venus glared at Lina. "What?"
Lina could tell from the tone of voice that this princess didn't expect to have to pay for her services. But Lina was tired of saving the world for free. It was about time she got something out of it. "Your treasury's a little low at the moment? That's okay. I can stay here until you can gather it up!" Before they could say anything else in protest, Lina ran out to blow stuff up.
"It's the Eye of God!" Alielle finally shouted as they watched in horror. "Makoto, quick! We have to get you there so you can stop it!" She grabbed his hand and tried to drag him back to the ship, but he held his ground.
