It's been Chapter 4: "A Timely Reunion"
Again, I apologize for the long pause between chapters, but as I have stated before, I'm a very busy person. I hope you enjoy this, after this, there is one more chapter, but you will never expect what is about to happen. Also, this chapter doesn't have any sex in it, nor does the fifth one, so if you were looking forward to it, I apologize in advance.
It's been 4 months since the Group broke up, and Lina now knows she is pregnant. She knows it's Gourry's, but there is nothing she can do about it.she has no idea where he or any of the others are. As Lina is walking down a path through a dark forest, she finds a rock to sit down in. She isn't very far along in her pregnancy, but she is already starting to feel the pains. As she sits on the rock, she thinks to herself how foolish it was to have unprotected sex, and then leave the man. She realized that she had made a big mistake by leaving Gourry and Zel. Lina began to weep, tears flowing down the side of her cheek. The little drops sparkled as the few rays of light were shed upon them. They glistened in magnificent colors, but unfortunately, all lina felt was darkness. Lina decided that she would rest there until she felt she was ready to push on.
Meanwhile.Gourry, for the past 4 months, had secretly been following Lina. After the group broke apart, he went off by himself, but by chance, in a small town, he had seen Lina walking alone, and from that point on started to keep watch over her, as her silent guardian. He knew that she was pregnant with his child, and he wanted her to know that he loved her and would love to be her husband, but he knew that if she found out he was following her, she would never speak to him. As he watched her weep on the rock, he felt a deep pain in his heart. He wanted to hug her and hold her so bad, but he couldn't. She was so close, but he couldn't touch her. He wanted nothing more than to be with her, but now was just not the right time
Onto the third member.unlike the other two, Zel was having the time of his life. He had never felt so free before. It was as if a curse had been lifted of him, and he was able to return to his normal life. He had gone out collecting rare treasures, trading them for money, and then going out and getting drunk, and getting laid. He was always feeling good, but every now and then he would think of Lina, and how he felt horrible for letting her go. But instead of dealing with the pain, he partied. On that fateful day, with Lina crying on the rock, Zel had decided to pack up and travel to another town. It just so happened that that town was at the end of the dark woods in which contained Lina and Gourry. Zel was tired and hung over from the alcohol he had drank the night before, and was getting weary and weak. He decided that the next clearing he came to, would be the spot in which he would restit just so happened that the clearing was where Lina was. When he saw Lina, he was awe-struck. He didn't know what to do.his legs wouldn't move. He hardly made a noise as he jumped into the trees to hide from her view. He never thought he'd see her again, especially pregnant, and for a split second, he thought it was a mirage, but after he blinked, he knew it was the real thing. As he looked across the woods, he spotted something shimmering in the small rays of light. He knew it was a sword, and by the craftsmanship, he realized it was Gourry's sword.
Lina had been resting now for 3 1/2 hours, and was ready to move on, so she got up and started walking to the next town called omelas.
Gourry, during all this, had noticed Zel and his feeble attempt to hide.
"What is he doing here? I suspected he would follow Lina, but I never expected him to really do it.that's just desperate. Who does he think he is?"
Gourry, decided to confront Zel. When he crossed the woods to where Zel was, he felt like he should hit him, but instead they greeted with a hug. The two were actually happy to see each other, even though Lina left both of them, and she was pregnant. They decided to be her guardians together, and from that point on, swore their lives to the underage sorceress. When they got to town, they spied Lina eating at a restaurant. She was eating chicken legs, mashed potatoes, steak, corn on the cob, green beans, pork chops, cauliflower, and drinking milk, orange juice, lemonade, and water. And that was just her first course! Did you really think that would be all, shit, she can eat that much when she's not pregnant, her appetite's just worse now. But anyway, Gourry and Zel wanted to just walk in, but they knew they couldn't. The two decided to go get a hotel room, and watch over Lina from there. The room they got had a window that had a view of the whole town and the surrounding forest. They were positive that if Lina got into any trouble, they would know about it.
5 hours later, Lina had gone to another hotel to get a room. She was so tired from all the food and the shopping. Not only was she eating for 2 now, she was also shopping for 2. As lina slipped her clothes off and fell into bed, she heard a low rumble. She thought nothing of it, but then she heard it getting louder. Maybe it was a just an incoming storm, thought Lina. But then as it got closer and closer to her door, she realized that maybe there was something more to this than thunder. Lina quickly popped out of bed, and threw on her clothes. She looked out the window to see five horses standing outside of her window. She thought maybe a special party was about to take place---but then she heard a loud knock on her door, demanding to speak with Lina Inverse. She was starting to panic, she had no idea what was going on. She hadn't done anything wrong since she split up from Gourry and Zel, and she had killed all of her other enemies before that day--or so she thought. She reluctantly opened the door, and as soon as she did a man with a mask kidnapped hershe screamed for help, but by the time Gourry and Zel got to her room, she was already gone. They ran out into the streets thinking they could find her, but the last image they saw was Lina crying with her face in her hands. They yelled to her, and she heard them, but she couldn't move.but she knew they were there, and that they would help her.
Gourry and Zel rushed to their room to get their things. Gourry had to get his sword, Zel had to get his clothes---he was taking a shower as all this had happened. Gourry and Zel went back to Lina's room to try to find clues as to who these people were and where they were taking Lina. They searched the whole room, but found nothing. But just as Gourry stepped out the door, he saw something sparkling on the ground. He picked it up. It was a ring, and it had a symbol on it. He recognized it to be the symbol for the gang of bandits that were formed from the remaining Dragon Fangs. Well, they finally found her, and planned to kill her--no doubt about that. Gourry, knew where this place was, because he and Lina had been there the first day they met, but it was all the way on the other side of Japan. There was no way to get there on foot.it would take weeks, maybe even months, but Gourry and Zel knew that they didn't have that much time. They maybe had a few days before it was too late. Maybe if they noticed that Lina was pregnant, they would spare her until the baby was born, but that was a long shot. Zel noticed a stable on the other side of the street. Of course, when they got over there, they realized the stable was empty. There had to be another way. About a mile or two outside of town, there was a major river that went across all of Japan, but they had no boat. They ran back to town, and in someone's back yard, they discovered a rowing boat. But there was no way they were going to carry that thing back to the river. So they got inventive. Zel used a levitiation spell so he could fly up and gather fruit off of the trees, and when he brought it back down, Gourry tied them to the bottom of the boat. So now they had wheels, but that didn't get them anywhere, because there was no way to keep the vehicle going. So Zel called up a wind spell, and they hopped in and were pushed down to the rivernow that they were there and the whole ordeal was overthey pushed the boat into the river, and were on their way to save Lina Inverse!
Meanwhile, Lina was starting to realize what had happened. She looked around, but there was nobody there. She wasn't moving any more. Well, that was a good sign. It gave her hope that maybe Gourry and Zel could catch up and save her. But where did they come from. Had those two been spying on her. That made her mad, but then she realized that she was happy because she never wanted to be away from them ever again. She wanted to feel their warm embraces, and see their smiling faces. She remembered all the good times they had together, and she also remembered the bad. But that was all okay, because she had finally been reunited with them in some wayBut that was all over now. The bandits she thought she got rid of were out for revenge, and she knew that she would die before Zel or Gourry could save her. As she lifted her head, she realized she was by a great river. She looked around again, and saw a guard behind her, and she saw a campfire not too far awaythat must be where the others are. She knew she could take out the guard, but being pregnant, she couldn't run very fast, and she couldn't jump 100 feet into a river, and then start to swim away. It was hopeless, they must have planned this for 4 months. Get her while she's down, thought Lina. But then Lina started to see something floating in the riverand it had wheels. How odd, but anyway, she could make out Zel's features and Gourry's sword shimmering in the moonlight. She knew she couldn't yell, but she could use magic. She quitely hit the guard with a fireball, and he burned without anybody noticing. Then she used a light spell, to let them know where she was. She thought she would finally be reunited, and she was so happy.
Unfortunately, neither of the two ever looked up. They were so determined to get to the hideout that they didn't think that maybe the gang would stop. They floated right past Lina, and they never knew it. Gourry, was rowing faster than anybody has ever rowed before, and Zel was steering, and they got so caught up in what they were doing that neither one of them realized that they were about to crash into a big pile of rocks! Zel finally noticed what was going on, and tried to quickly turn the boat, but it was too late, they hit the rocks, and the boat crumbled.
"Fuck this. I hate boats, horses, anything. But I really hate walking. We're never gonna get to Lina on time, and it's about to kill me. I want to save her so bad, and there's nothing we can do. We've really fucked it up this time Zel. How could we let this happen? We used to be the best of the best, and now we're just washed up old has beens."
And with that, Gourry sat down and began to cry. But, instead of comforting Gourry, Zel looked up to the sky. Upon a cliff about 100 feet up, he noticed a tiny flashing light. He knew it was Lina, he knew it with all of his life.
"Gourry, look up. I think our prayers have been answered. That's Lina up there. That light is telling us that she needs our help. She must know we're here. She must have heard us yelling after her. She knows we're here and she wants our help, so get off your ass and go help her!"
Gourry had never seen Zel so frantic and controlling, and it inspired new hope in him. He jumped to his feet and into the river. He swam all the way across before looking back for Zel. He waited as Zel crossed too. Gourry started to climb the cliff, but Zel pulled him off and used a levitiation spell. In no time, they were face to face with Lina inverse. But it was about that time that the gang realized that something was going on. All the members got up from the fire, and walked out of the woods. They discovered two males trying to help their prisoner escape. Well that was a surprise to themuntil one of them recognized Gourry. Then, Gourry became a target too. The trio started to run, but couldn't get far because Lina was uncomfortable. So, instead of trying to escape, Gourry and Zel turned around and prepared to fight until the death for Lina. They knew that it was either kill or be killed, and they were willing to risk it for Lina.
An epic war broke out between the two groups. Lina tried to fight by throwing a fireball at the group, but she was too weak to use magic. She fainted, but Gourry and Zel kept fighting. The Gang fled into the woods to take better shelter, but Gourry and Zel were right behind them. Gourry was cutting down trees left and right with his sword. All in all, there were 12 gang members, and there were only two for Gourry and Zel. Gourry began to fight with his sword. He began to fight one gang member, and as soon as the gang member slipped up, Gourry decapitated him with the light sword and popped out the eyes with the tip of the blade, so his dead eyes could watch as Gourry killed the rest of them. Zel used a spell called the digger bolt, and sent a tree crashing down onto another member. This went on for an hour as Zel and Gourry kept severing limbs, and destroying the members. Lina woke up just as the fight ended. Zel and Gourry both knew that there was one member left, but they hadn't seen him for 20 minutes or so.he must have ran away like pussies always do.
Gourry and Zel dashed out of the woods to get to their beloved Lina. Gourry was the first to get to her. He picked her up off the ground and held her in his arms. He whispered to her about how he loved her, and how he missed her, and how he had been following her. She didn't care. She was so happy to see him. She started to cry.
"Gourry, I have missed you for so long. I just wanted you to be the father of my baby. And now you are back. I can't believe me dreams have finally comeGOURRY LOOK OUT!!!!!!"
But it was too late, the last gang member shoved his sword into Gourry's back, and it stabbed him right through the heart. Gourry fell to the ground, gasping for air
That's the end of chapter 4, please bear with meit won't take me nearly as long to write chapter 5, "Father, a new Title"
