The Fight Continues

Disclaimer: I don't own Slayers. Every time I type that, I get more annoyed.

As they flew along, Lina and Amelia were keeping track of where they were going by watching out for the bodies of monsters that littered the ground now and then.

Lina: Well, at least we know where we're going...

Amelia: Miss. Lina, can I fly ahead to see if I can see anything in the distance?

Lina: Amelia, if you leave then I might drop Gourry!

Gourry: Drop who?

Lina: I wasn't talking to YOU!

Amelia, looking down sees a roadside restuarant. She quickly thought of a new tactic.

Amelia: Hey Miss. Lina! There's a restuarant down there! Should we stop to eat?

Lina: FOOOOOOOOOD!

She immediatly starts swooping down dragging Gourry and Amelia after her. Once inside, they order their food (with the exception of Amelia) and begin eating.

Amelia: I think I'll go use the ladies room quickly.

She sweatdropped realizing that the two were too busy eating, and that there was no need for any excuses.

She left the restaurant, and flew of in the direction that their two other companions had gone. Since she was alone, there was no extra wait to carry therefore a much faster flight, easily managing to recover the time she had wasted by using that last distraction.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The blinding light was gone, Sherra was standing on the ground, smoke was coming of her body, as she tried to get back on her feet...

'The Dragon Slave!' she muttered 'How could a shrine priestess...'

Sylphiel: You made an error by underestimating us, the years have passed, and we progressed...

Zelgadis: She's right, we are far from the level we where those years ago...and Sylphiel could already use the Dragon Slave 4 years ago...

Dynast: I had enough of this! Drake, shut that nasty mouth of his.

Drake: Now, I will destroy you!

Zel: getting serious huh? Alright, let's get serious!

Zel lifted his sword in front of him, as Drake levitated , dark energy starting to gather around him, Zel concentrated on his blade, as blue fire started to merge with it, Drake released is spell: DARK SHATTER! A circle of black waves fused from is extended hand, centered around a huge black rays.

Having concentrated is astral energy around is blade, Zelgadis was preparing a powerful spell, who was familiar to Sylphiel, but she couldn't really make it out.

Zelgadis: controller of destiny, you who goes, gather into my blade, become my power and my strengh, become one with my spirit and cleanse the darkness with your ultimate strength! The evolution of the Ra-Tilt:

BAHAMUT FLARE!

A gigantic Dragon-like wave of blue and white energy fused from is extended sword, blasted against the black wave, blue flame fighting against black ray, tossing them aside, in the direction of Drake, The Dragonic Wave opened it's mouth, surrounding him…

-----------------

Amelia flew along, not spotting anything for quite some time, when all of a sudden, she saw a tower in the distance.

Amelia: If I'm going to go in that tower, I'd better go get miss Lina first. She thought, heading back in the direction she came from.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, back at the restaurant...

Lina: Amelia said she was only going to the bathroom. She should have been back by now...

A waitress, hearing the remark, couldn't help butting in.

Waitress: You mean that black haired girl you were with? I saw her leave quite some time ago.

Lina: *outraged* HOW COME YOU DIDN'T TELL US!?

Waitress: *trying not to make her even more angry, suddenly realizing who they were* Well, I heard her say something and then leave! I couldn't hear WHAT she said because of the noise level!

Lina threw some coins on the table, grabbed Gourry, and ran though the door.

Behind her, the waitress released the breath she didn't realized she had been holding.

----------------------------------------------------------

By now, Amelia was only a couple of miles away from the restaurant, when he spotted a flying object coming towards her.

Squinting against the bright sunlight, she realized what she looking at.

There, in the not-too-far distance, was a Lina Inverse, so angry, she could kill somebody from fright just by looking at her face. Since Amelia was slightly used to this look, she only wobbled a bit in the air. Quickly saying her prayers, she approached the enraged sorceress.

Lina: *fireball glowing in her hands* I'll give you 2 seconds to explain why I had to pay that last meal only for most of the precious food to be left there!

Amelia: Miss Lina, I-

Lina: Too late!

Four miles away, visitors at the restaurant could feel a huge earthquake, and wondered what it was.

----------------------------------------------------------

Zel was standing there, half smiling, sword in ready position, as the blue and white power of the gigantic Dragon-like energy engulfed the dark priest in its jaw, disintegrating him not leaving even ashes...then he fell to one knee, gasping and breathing heavily for the sheer exertion of a Ra-Tilt of such a magnitude

Sylphiel rushed to his side, casting a quick healing on him, to give him back some energy.

He got back on his feet, and they both looked at the dark throne, as they saw that Dynast Gosherra war getting up at last...

His dark shapes was overwhelming, the fire like eyes, burning through his helm, where sending chill down their spines, his voice rose, like the icy embrace of death:

'So, you managed to beat both of my generals...impressive, to say the least...but your meaningless struggle ends here.'

and on this, he raised his hands, and a packs of blacks rays fused at lightning fast speed, swirling in a deadly whirlwind, clashing against the magical barrier Sylphiel quickly raised, strengthened by Zel wind barrier. Both of them where struggling hard to keep their barrier raised, as Dynast night tentacle clashed against and against on the barrier, their arms where trembling under the exertion, as the demonic laughter of the dark lord kept echoing in the arena.

----------------------------------------------------------

The group flew along in silence- Amelia not wanting Lina's temper to flare up again. Finally, Lina broke the silence.

Lina: Amelia, when you were out here, did you see anything?

Amelia (in a quiet voice): Ummmm... I did see a tower in the distance...

Lina: Good enough!

Once again they flew along,in silence, in fear of Lina's wrath.
