A/N: Ohehehehe~ I'm bbbaaaccckkkk!!! Lol~ this one is dedicated to Chez and Chichirui: the authors that never post …
Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne or any of it's characters ~ I'm just using them for this story … If I did own it the dragon slayers would be alive, Van would be dead, and Dilandau would be whole (no Celena) and burning things.
Where I left off: "Dilandau Albatou …" she said.
Chapter 5: "The First Encounter!"
Dilandau emerged from the shadows with his slayers behind him.
"I see that I do not have the element of surprise with me." he said walking over to the frozen girl. "And I assume …" he motioned his hand "that you have already met Dallet and Chesta also?"
Victoria shook herself into reality "That is correct, Lord Dilandau ..." she said standing straight with her eyes looking forward, and unblinking … like the dragon slayers.
Dilandau was the least to say shocked … this female knew too much for her good in his opinion. This girl was outdoing his dragon slayers: his elite soldiers were being stood up by a woman!
Dilandau growled fiercely and his eyes flashed, dangerously. "You," he said, voice hate filled. "I don't know who you are but …"
"My name is Victoria Townley …" she interrupted.
"I WAS SPEAKING!" he raged and raised his hand high.
The wind howled as his hand came crashing down toward her cheek … but it never got there! Victoria stood exactly how she previously was (facing forward, eyes looking straight, and un-blinking) except for one thing … her hand was held up, holding Dilandau's one in a death grip!
The slayers and Dilandau's eyes grew huge and Dilandau's pupils became slitted and dangerous.
"I don't believe it," thought Miguel. "what Dallet told us was true ... But, I never thought anyone could stand up to Lord Dilandau …"
The Dragon Slayers all flinched ~ anticipating the bloody and horrible death the strange, but pretty girl was about to be dealt. All almost face-vaulted when Dilandau started to laugh.
"Lord Dilandau?" Chesta asked cautiously.
"I don't believe it!" Dilandau cackled.
Dilandau just then took his first real look at her. She was his height and age, slim and athletic, with long lavender hair and golden eyes …
"Slayer Dallet, step forward." he commanded, never taking his eyes off her.
Dallet stepped forward.
"Please escort Victoria to the Vione. Have her cleaned and dressed then brought to Folken's library."
"Yes, Lord Dilandau." Dallet bowed and put a hand on her shoulder.
She let go of Dilandau's hand then followed Dallet. When they were out of site Dilandau hissed in pain and clutched his hand. Miguel was about to ask if he was okay but heard another "I can't believe it" from the pyro.
"Dallet?" Victoria asked, breaking the silence.
"Yes?" he answered.
"What's going to happen to me?"
This was he one thing Dallet wished she had not asked … for he knew either one of two things was going to happen to her …
"I-I do not know …" he lied.
"Oh …" she said and bowed her head.
Dilandau led the other five slayers to the guymelefs. His mind kept re-playing what had just happened and he could not help but not believe the recent events. A female of all people!
"She'll be great fun …" Dilandau whispered.
By the time Dilandau, Miguel, Gatti, Chesta, Guimel, and Viole got to the guymelefs, Dallet's one was gone. So, they just automatically assumed he had taken her to the Vione to ready for Folken and Lord Dilandau. But oh, were they wrong …
*MEAN WHILE*
"Dallet, I told you I was sorry! I have no choice, I must do this!" Victoria apologized for the millionth time.
Dallet just mumbled again … this was the second time this girl had embarrassed him. Victoria, when they had gotten to the guymelefs, had taken Dallet prisoner, gotten into the melef, and flew off with Dallet clutched in the huge metal hand. The confusing thing was that she was heading for the floating fortress!!!
Dilandau and the other five slayers were just a few minutes from the Vione. When they landed in the melef hanger they saw Dallet's guymelef.
But, "What's this?" questioned Dilandau.
Dallet was being held in his guymelefs hand and the girl was no where to be seen.
"Darn it!" Dilandau cursed, "I knew I should have sent Miguel too! Slayers be on alert ~ the girl is missing and Slayer Dallet had been disarmed."
"Yes, Dilandau-sama …" they said in unison.
Suddenly Dallet's guymelef launched into action. It came behind Guimel's, twirled around and tripped it, behind Viole and Miguel, ran right in between them and made them crash into each other, in- front of Gatti's and ran through the energist with a melef sword, and on top of Chesta's crushing it down. Soon all the melefs were down except for Dilandau's and Victoria's.
"ENOUGH!" screamed Dallet from the ground.
"Huh?" Victoria looked down.
Dilandau took advantage of the confusion and knocked Victoria out.
The last thing she heard was "Miguel and Gatti … take her to Folken's library …"
2nd A/N: Oooh~ Whaddaya know?!?!?! It's actually getting kinda good! Ooh~ I'll post more soon … I told you this one isn't very different from what it was … well, not yet. ~CrimsonFire
