**Slayers Mystic**
Episode 2: Huh?? Time Travel!
The girl looks to be no more older than Lina. Her perfectly oval face
(the right side up) is framed by long golden hair with streaks of red.
She is gorgeous in the eyes of Gourry (who starts gazing at her with
eyes in his eyes immediately) and somewhat familiar to Lina.
"Who are you?" Lina demands, her sword still pointing to the girl.
The girl looks astonished as she looked at the dead man to Lina and
vice-versa again.
"Oh no!" she wails suddenly. "I'm too late! This shouldn't have
happened!"
Gourry moves to comfort her but abandons his plan when he sees Lina
glaring at him. He sheaths his sword though.
"Well?" Lina asks.
"The messenger is supposes to reach the Duke of Delafe in time. Now
there will be war," the girl cries still.
"What are you talking about?"
"I have failed!" the words leave her lips as she collapses on the
ground.
**********************
The smell of broth entices the girl even before she wakes.
"Are you sure...?" Gourry asks Lina as he holds the bowl beneath the
girl's chin. They are back at Leaping Dolphins and Lina asks for
food for the girl the first thing in the morning (oops, it's the
second. She asks for ten plates of honeyed chicken for herself first.)
"I'm sure of it. She'll wake alright. I _know_ her somewhere..." Lina
rubs her chin thoughtfully.
The girl stirs and opens her violet eyes. She grabs the bowl from
Gourry immediately and gulfs it down. Throwing the bowl aside (where
it crashes against the wall and breaks into a kazillion pieces), she
leaps from the bed and searches for more food. Lina tosses a chicken
leg (she forced herself to) save from her breakfast to the girl.
The girl chews ravenously.
"Yeah, she _does_ seem kind of familiar," Gourry admits.
"Okay," Lina says to the girl when she is finished, "Spill. Why are you
after the messenger? Why did you kill him or whatsoever? And _what_
war?"
The girl turns to Lina. Her eyes brightens.
"I know you!" The girl replies.
"Who doesn't?" Gourry smirks. "The infamous Lina Inverse the
Sorceress!"
Lina tosses her red hair proudly.
"I really know you! And...I know you too!" The girl says to Gourry.
"Yeah, yeah, enough chatting," Lina reminds the girl.
"My name is Vee Gabriev," the girl tosses _her_ hair.
"Gee, the name sounds familiar," Gourry rubs his chin. "Ouch!" Lina
knocks his head.
"That's cos your name is Gourry Gabriev, IDIOT!" Lina shrieks in his
ear.
"Oh...yeah!"
"I hope you're not as idiotic as him!" Lina mutters to Vee. "If you're
related to him."
"Of course I am," Vee nods her head. "You see--I'm his daughter!"
"Daughter?" Lina and Gourry cries out, astonished.
"Yes."
"You didn't tell me you have a daughter Gourry!" Lina growls. "Where's
your sense of responsibility as a father? Fancy flirting with other
women," she glares at him.
"But I don't...I don't have," Gourry stuttered.
"Right! Who's the mother?" Lina asks him.
"Well, you are," the girl chirped cheerfully.
"Idiot! How can _he_ be your father _and_ mother?" Lina yells at the
girl.
"No!" Vee protests. She points at Lina. "_You_ are."
"Wait a minute! I'm...I'm as old as you! How can I have a daughter
without realising it? And don't tell me...with him??!" Lina is
hysterical. She jumps on Vee, shaking her very hard. "It does not make
any sense, you liar!"
"Grave assault!" Vee screams and Lina is thrown off her.
"Gee...you have magic too," Gourry comments. "You must be Lina's
daughter!"
"What the heck was that?" Lina asks as she picks herself up. "I've
never heard of that spell before."
"It makes perfect sense. You see...I come from the future," Vee
explains.
********
"In the future, I am Victory Ismine Gabriev, daughter of Greater
Sorceress Lina Inverse and Greater Bearer of Sword Gourry Gabriev, two
insanely famous and rich lady and lord..."
"You mean we're going to be rich and famous? And have lots of food?"
Lina interrupts.
"Don't interrupt!" Vee snaps and continues. "My godmother and godfather
Queen Amelia and Blue sorceror Zelgadiss takes care of my lessons while
my parents takes care of _food_-- I mean, both of you are eating all
the time and still looked terrific and drawing a lot of money from
advertising slim products. So anyway, in time, I am known as Defender
of Justice..."
"Oh, boy, that must be Amelia's idea no doubt..." Lina comments.
"...And Sorceress Victory. Of course, a lot of new spells are created
by _me_ in the future, because _I_ am a genius!"
"So what's got to do with now?" Lina asks.
"I am getting to that! So anyway, a time spell was invented by an evil
genius who wanted to cause chaos. Since the Evil One failed to cause
disorder in the very orderly world of the future, he has used the spell
to create a change in the past so that the future will be changed.
"By stopping the letter of greetings and warning of the entrance of
traitors from Lord Exin to Duke of Delafe, the Duke would think that
Lord Exin is hostile towards him and due to the sabotages happening in
his land, that Lord Exin is signalling for a war.
"A war happens and nations will be pulled in and Queen Amelia will
never descend that throne! You two will be so busy fighting that you
won't marry each other and I, as defender of Justice, will never be
born!"
"_Excuse_ me!" Lina interrupts. "I won't marry Gourry even if that's
the last thing I do!"
"Err..." Gourry murmurs. "I won't marry that hot head either."
"But..." Vee stammers.
"Convince me." Lina says.
"Well, many people says that I'm a spitting image of my bodacious
mother..." Vee says slyly.
"I'll help you stop the war, but you have to work on that excuse to get
_me_ married to Gourry."
"You'll inherit the sword of light," Vee slips in another line.
"Anyway, the parchment will be gone. I say, we kill the spies and
pretend that we're messengers of Duke of Delafe," Lina suggests.
"I'm right with you!" Vee agrees as mother and daughter runs out of
Leaping Dolphins.
"Wait for me!" Gourry yells as he chases after them.
"By the way, would you teach me that neat spell?" Lina asks Vee.
