Here is some good music to listen to while reading this:

Dash! Dash! Dash! – Impacts Theme, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon soundtrack

Nothing's gonna change my world – The Beatles

(I don't own the music listed above either!)

Sylphiel: Miss Lina...what if Gourry Dear holds out Amelia while you prepare this pentacle thing?

Lina: Yes, maybe, but what spell could we use? I know! Maybe this ice spell, you know, the one I used against Helceform? It would hold her in a cage of ice...

Zel: But then what?

Lina: Huh?

Zel: Then what do we do, wait for her to get out of the ice prison and start back? This wouldn't work...

Lina: Then why don't YOU suggest something if you're so smart?! Do you have any idea mister-know-it- all?

Zelgadis: I'm afraid I don't.

Sylphiel: Maybe I do...

(They are still dodging blasts from Amelia. She was now aiming at them in the air, and Gourry on the ground, but she doesn't seem like she is trying to finish them, more like a cat playing with a mouse.)

Lina: Alright, Sylphiel, this might work, don't you think Zel?

Zel: I...don't know. If it fails, her soul will be annihilated, I...I can't...

Lina: It's the only way, Zel, that what Amelia would have wanted, you think she want to live possessed by darkness forever? Haunted by the death of her friend at her hand?

Zel: I understand. I will do it.

Sylphiel: (Putting her hand on his shoulder) it will be alright Zelgadis, trust me!

Zel: (managing a sad smile) I sure hope so.

Lina: Great, we gotta join Gourry before he's toast!

They flew off to join Gourry who was still nimbly dodging explosions, blocking the dark whip Dark Amelia was slashing in her other hand with the Blessed Blade.

Lina: Gourry! We have a plan, but we need time! I want you to hold still!

Gourry: What?! Alone? But...

Lina: Gourry, please? It's our only chance to save her...

Gourry: (Nods) I understand Lina, I will do it...for you.

Lina: (blushing a deep crimson) Don't get all sentimental baka! ...And be careful...

Gourry: Don't worry, we can't have anyone dying before their time right? ^_-

Gourry ran off to try and hold dark Amelia back, feeling the challenge. She got down and start fighting him with her darkness whip and glowing gauntlet armor, Gourry fighting on as best as he can, but he is slowly tiring, while she seem like she could go on for years...

Lina: (after tracing a five pointed star on the ground, her and the other two placed themselves on the three opposed ones. Lina raised her hand into the air. As glowing light surrounded her, she started chanting an incantation)

Almighty mana gather in my hand,

Bend to my will,

Bring to me your eternal flow,

Gather our spirit and our strength,

By the arcane of the nether world,

May all things become ONE!

ARCANIS FUSION!

A gigantic light fuse from the three magic users, gathering in the center of the star, growing brighter and brighter, as the three started floating in the air, arms extended...

Gourry is still fighting with all his might and skills, deflecting blow, striking at the seemingly invincible armor, being pushed backwards each time her thunderous blast struck against his blade!

Zelgadis start casting his own incantation:

Controller of destiny,

You who goes, gather into my blade,

Become my power and my strength,

Become one with my spirit and cleanse the darkness with your ultimate strength!

(As he is talking, the ball of light in the center of the star started growing bigger and bigger, taking a blue and white color, Lina and Sylphiel are in the same position as him, and their lips seem to recite the same incantation at the same time.)

The evolution of the Ra-Tilt:

BAHAMUT FLARE!

Lina: Gourry, run!!!

Dark Amelia had her back turned to them, Gourry was in front of it, his jaw dropped and he hastily took cover.

The Dragon-like wave fused in the direction of the Dark Knight with at least five times the power it had before, the blinding white and blue light open his jaws, roaring wildly.

Dark Amelia at last saw it coming. She gathered her power in a totally black sphere surrounding her, preventing them from seeing her.



The raging dragon-like form engulfed the darkness sphere, creating a blinding maelstrom of magic. Everybody was blinded. They shut their eyes, protecting their faces with their arms.

A moment passed. They could see now, Dark Amelia is standing there, floating in mid air, unmoving...Suddenly, she fell to the ground, on her knee, the black armor seem to tremble, shatter, and fall all around her, while she fell on the ground.

Her face as white as the dead.

The blinding light had vanished. Everyone fell on their knees too, huffing and gasping, out of breath. Gourry was struggling to get out of under the broken piece of the house that fell over him. Zelgadis got up, his knees shaking, but he managed to run to Amelia. Taking her frail body in his arms, the dark armor, shattered on the ground. It slowly start moving, getting smaller and fusing pieces with other pieces, turning back into it's gauntlet form, but it's aura of power seem extremely diminished.

Zelgadis: (holding Amelia in his arms) Amelia! Amelia! What have I done?

He whispered something in her ears, something no one managed to understand...when suddenly, her eyes opened! She hugged Zelgadis as if her life was at stake, not letting him go ever...ever.

His pleasant surprise was slowly turning into a gasp.

Zel: Amelia, Amelia, your choking me!

Amelia: (blushing, and suddenly realizing everyone is watching them) Oops! Gomen nasai Zelgadis-San!

Zel: (((_-)) ()



(Later on)

Everyone hurried to run off the trashed pieces, remains of the part of town where the battle took place.

They are around a fire in the woods at the moment. Lina explained to those who didn't understand (that meant Gourry) what exactly happened.

Lina:

You see, the Ra-Tilt is used to strike at the very soul of a person, which remains on the astral plane. That why it's effect are so devastating against the Mazoku. Because they themselves exist in the astral plane. When Zelgadis used his new spell, which his some sort of new version of the Ra- Tilt, the Armor reacted by shielding itself. Seeing it as it was, a direct menace to it's astral integrity. But the gathered power of the three of us multiplied by my spell went through it's protection, assailing him directly against his astral being, the armor then had to put all her energy to support the attack, or it would have been destroyed. So, when the spell ended, the armor has spent so much energy that it wasn't able to hold itself together, and so Amelia was free. There was a chance that the armor would have been too weak, and Amelia would have been hurt by the spell, but we had already evaluated the sheer power of this relic. And we where MOSTLY sure that it could protect her. In any case, all is well that ends well!

Everyone: -_- ()

Zel: I am always amazed at how much Lina can talk if we let her...

Gourry: Err...I think what she meant is we where lucky...err, by the way, which kind of pickles is the Ra-Tilt? It looks yummy!

Lina: (striking him on the head) Gourry no baka!

Amelia: (still weak from the battle and the spell) What do you mean MOSTLY sure? /((0_0))\ ()

Lina: Err, we didn't have any choice you know! {((^_-))} ;

Sylphiel: But what do you think we should do now?

Zelgadis: I believe getting rid of this gauntlet thing would be the priority, our enemies must not get their hands on it...

Lina: And we have to be very careful. Dynast might choose to attack us at any time.

Amelia: I think we should discover his real intention, how does he want to bring the Dark Lord back to our world, and how does Lina have to take part in it? *Yawn*...but first, we have to rest, I can't stay awake anymore...

Gourry: (already sleeping) rrrRRRrrrzzzzZZZzzzrrrrRRRrrrzzzZZZzzz...

Lina: Ho well, you might be right Amelia. I'm spent too, this fusion spell is tiring! Good night everyone.

Sylphiel: Good night Gourry dear...

Gourry: RRzzzzZZG.NightZZZzzrrrRRRrrzzzZZZ

(everyone fell asleep around the campfire, except for Zelgadis.)

Zel: (watching Sleeping Amelia) Sleep well princess, I will guard you...
