Chapter 9: The big meeting
Disclaimer: I keep forgetting to write a disclaimer. Anyway, Slayers and Dynast sobs* belongs to.I don't know his name--;;;.*laughs nervously*
It was a rather peaceful day. The birds are chirping, the butterflies are flying the crickets are singing, but how can you call it a peaceful day when the mazoku's equivalent of chaos is taking place in a little.well not so little house down the street?
"Damn it Phibby! Give that to me!"
"The name's Phibrizo, fat gorilla!" Phibrizo yelled.
"Fuck you! Give the remote control to me, now!" Garv hollered as tackled his cousin.
The ex-hellmaster kicked at Garv while trying to hold the remote control out of his older cousin's reach.
Zelgadis groaned. 'Are these the friends Lina was talking about?' He wondered as he watched the dust cloud that involves two mazoku lords and a remote control. 'Even in this life they can't stop fighting' he thought, shaking his head, silently praying to whatever Gods that exists to protect his house.
The door bell rang again. Zelgadis dragged his feet to the door and opened it.
"Zel!!!!" a figure screamed and glomped him.
"Aya." he muttered. 'Who else did Lina called?' he wondered. 'Kami-sama, please let me and my house survive this.'
"Ahem, are you forgetting me?'
Zelgadis pulled the over excited Kai-ou off and saw Lanngourt standing behind Aya. He invited them inside and returned to praying for the safety of his house.
"Where is your girlfriend, Zel-kun?" Aya asked as Lanngourt joined the dust cloud.
Zelgadid blushed madly. "What girlfriend."he stammered. The kai-ou giggled.
"Amelia-san!"
Zelgadis was about to answer when the door opened. Xellos, Filia, Valterria and Raksha walked in.
"Can't you knock!?" he snapped at Xellos.
Xellos giggled. "Why are Garv, Phibby and Lanngourt fighting?"
"."
Suddenly, Garv gave a loud yell and burst out of the dust cloud. " I win!! The remote control is mine! Mwahahahahah!" he roared as he stood on the couch. Phibrizzo and Lanngourt lay on the floor, cursing in anger. The former Earth Dragon King stood up and lunged at Garv who was dancing on the couch and knocked him over the sofa. The both of them hit the ground with a loud thud and another dust cloud followed. Zelgadis buried his head in his hands, but jerked up again when he heard a rather colourful language and a loud bang. He looked up and saw Xellos laughing madly and Filia staring in horror at a big hole in his wall.
"Gomen nasai!!! I was trying to hit that raw garbage!" Filia wailed as she apologised profusely to Zelgadis who was now cursing the Gods instead of praying to them.
Zelgadis shook his head, then something caught his eye. "Filia, where did you get that mace from?"
Filia laughed nervously. "That.that is a secret."
"Hey, that's my speech!" Xellos protested
Filia stuck out her tongue at him. "You didn't copyright it or register it, so it's free for public use!" A loud argument about personal properties started between the two old rivals.
"What does Lina want?" Zelgadis muttered. The door opened again and Sherra stormed in. Zelgadis winced and wondered how long his house is going to last.
Xellos paused in his argument to give Sherra a cheeky grin before going back to fight for his so called 'rights' in using language. Dynast's general exploded and pulled out Dolgoulfa. Xellos, delighted that he managed to annoy so many people in one day happily took out his staff and a started fighting with Sherra while continuing arguing with the enraged dragon. Zelgadis clutched his head. Aspirins.he needed aspirins. All he wanted to do was to get away from the 'Kouma Sensou 3' in his house.
The door opened again and to Zelgadis's relive, Lina, Amelia, Gourry, Sylfiell and someone he recognised as the water dragon king walked in.
"Your girlfriend finally came!" Aya said from behind. Zelgadis turned red again.
"Hoy, Zel-chan!" Lina said cheerfully, ignoring the 'Kouma Sensou 3 that was going on.
"Hoy your head!" Zelgadis shouted. Lina turned chibi and hid behind Amelia.
"Sorry!" she exclaimed.
"What is this all about?" Phibrizo asked. "Why did you ask us to come to Zel's house?"
Lina grinned. "Please take a seat, everyone. What I'm going to say is going to change your life forever!" she said dramatically.
Garv rolled his eyes. "What the fuck!?"
"Shut the fuck up and listen to what the girl has to say!" Val snapped. Garv grumbled under his breath. When everyone was found a conformable place to seat, be it the couch, the floor or even the staircase, Lina pulled out the Claire Bible.
"Cepheed! Come out!" she said as she tapped the book lightly. Everyone's eyes widened as the book glowed and materialised into a tall young man.
"Cepheed-sama!" Filia gasped. Those who hadn't got back their memories stared at the man.
"What the fuck!?" Garv shouted. "Is that black magic or what!?" Raksha, Lanngourt and Lagul stared at the man, an unusual feeling of familiarity washed over them. Ceipheed looked at them and smiled. However, Phibrizo and Garv disliked the man from the start.
Zelgadis stared at Ceipheed in shock. "So this is what you planned to do? Tell them everything?" he asked Lina.
"Tell us what?" Valtierria asked, his golden eyes filled with curiosity.
Lina took a deep breath and started her story. "Once, there lived a God called the Lord of Nightmares. She created four worlds in an alternate universe. In each world, she placed a Demon God and a Dragon God. However, after she created all four Dragon Gods, she found out that she had no more energy left to create the other four Demon Gods. However, she cannot wait till her energy returns because she needs the Demon Gods to balance the chaos. Thus, she went to her brother and borrowed power from him. The power was in the form of a book, the Claire Bible which Ceipheed appeared from just now." She said, gesturing to the Dragon God. "From the power, she created the four Demon Gods, and their names are, Chaotic Blue, Dark Star, Dark Fog and Ruby-Eye Shabranigdu. Shabranigdu then created five generals to help him in his work. The leader was Hellmaster Phibrizo."
"Fuck, that's your name!" Garv said as he nudged his stunned cousin. Lina continued. "Then there was Chaos Dragon Garv." On hearing that, Garv's mouth dropped open. "That's me!"
"Following him was Dynast Grausherra, Deep Sea Dolphin and Zelas Metallium"
"Isn't that your sister??" Valtierria asked Xellos who was looking at the three mazoku lords with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Ceipheed then created his own dragons and gave them titles and names. There were Laguladia, the water dragon king, Vulabazard, the fire dragon king, Lanngourt, the earth dragon king, and Barluwin, the sky dragon queen. Sound familiar to you?" Lina asked the three dragon kings. Lanngourt was shocked when he heard his name, while the others nodded their heads.
"Of course, there were other people. Valtierria, an ancient dragon who then changed his name to Valgarv after Garv saved him form the Gold Dragons." 'The expression on Valtierria's face could win himself a prize.' Lina thought in amusement. "Filia is a gold dragon, Sherra is Dynast's general, Xellos is Zelas's priest cum general, Zel, Gourry, Sylfiell, Amelia, me and my sister are the humans. My sister is the Knight of Ceipheed, Amelia the princess of Seyluune, Sylfiell a priestess in Sairaag, Zel a chimera, me a sorceress, and Gourry the wielder of the Hikari no Ken. Martina was a princess of a country which I destroyed and Naga was my partner, but since they aren't here, that doesn't matter much. Aya is Deep Sea Dolphin, Raksha's the fire dragon king, Lanngourt the earth dragon king and Lagul the water dragon king." Lina finished.
The whole place was deadly silent. Lina sighed. She had said it, whether or not to believe was up to them. "Oh yes, and Zel's father is Aka houshi Rezo and his mother is Eris.
"And you forgot that my uncle is kopii Rezo." Zel sighed.
"You're nuts! Fucking nuts!" Garv yelled suddenly. "I'm no mazoku lord! Just an average boy.just an average boy." his voice trailed off.
"Stop denying!" Phibrizo snapped. " You remember, it all makes sense! The weird dreams, weird images of wars and dragons."
"Are we friends or foes now?' Aya asked softly.
"Aya."Lina said.
"Dolphin, call me Dolphin." She smiled.
Lina grinned, then she looked at the dragons. "Do you believe me?"
"I can't believe it!" Lanngourt wailed. "I'm supposed to hate dragons! But how can I hate dragons when I'm one?"
"Don't be an idiot!" Raksha snorted. "Well, looks like most of us are here."
"Yeah, and we have a score to settle." Phibrizzo sneered.
"But before that.HOW DARE YOU! YOU FUCKING HELLBRAT! YOU KILLED ME!" Garv roared as he whipped out a sword form nowhere.
Phibrizo snorted as he ducked the blows. "If I can kill you last time, I can kill you again."
"My couch." Zelgadis moaned.
"In the name of justice I shall not allow you to destroy Zel- san's couch!" Amelia yelled.
The two mazoku lords rolled their eyes. "Shut up."
"It's rude to point." Garv pointed out to a distraught Amelia.
Then the door opened again. " Well, well, a reunion."
"Onee-san!" Lina gasped.
"Luna!" Lagul said cheerfully, then his smile faded. "Juu-ou."
"Onne-san!" Xellos greeted Zelas who was standing behind Luna.
"That's Zelas-sama to you, Xellos." Zelas smirked.
Xellos grinned. "Luna told you."
"Garv! It's good to see you again!" Val cried out as he hugged Garv.
"You just saw me, and you forgot something."
"What?"
"Garv what?" the Maryuu-ou said impatiently.
"Garv what? I don't know your surname."
"Garv-sama! You forgot the sama!" Garv wailed.
Val rolled his eyes. " We're now equals."
"Nani!?"
"He's right. We're all humans." Lina said thoughtfully.
"Bleagh!" Phibrizzo said distastefully, his green eyes filled with disgust.
"So, Dolphin, how are you doing? Feeling a little more sane these days?" Zelas sneered. Dolphin frowned. "How I am feeling is none of your business, Juu-ou." She retorted coldly. Zelas glared at her, then realisation stuck the blonde lady.
"Hey, I'm the oldest now!"
Phibizo, Dolphin and Garv exchanged glances. "What the.At least I'm not the youngest." Garv countered. " I think I'm older than Phibby." Dolphin said in amusement. "What!?" The hellmaster yelled. "Hellbrat is born in October." Garv pointed out. A delighted grin found it's way on Dolphin's face. "I was born in June!" the Kai-ou cried out happily. "Phibby's the youngest! Phibby's the youngest!" Garv, Zelas and Dolphin sang.
The raven haired teenager scowled at them. "Shut up!" he growled.
Lina coughed for their attention. "Excuse me? Have you forgotten that there are other people around?" she demanded. "Now for the important part."
After she had finally finished her story which Ceipheed first told her, the dragons were staring at Ceipheed, horrified.
"L-sama sealed up!?" Raksha, or better known as Vrabazard shouted.
"How can that be?" Lanngourt muttered.
"Lucky it's not Ceipheed-sama." Lagul, or rather Rugradia said. Phibrizo smirked.
"So, Lina Inverse, you want us to help you fight Shabranigdu?"
Lina nodded. 'How am I going to get the mazokus to join us' she thought in despair.
"You want us to betray Ruby-Eye-sama?" the hellmaster sneered.
Lina sighed. "I know I can't force you, the ultimate decision is yours, but actually you aren't his generals anymore, considering that you're now humans."
"Man, I agree!" Garv roared as he stood up. "That stupid crab turned me into half human last time and I haven't settled that score with him. Since I betrayed him once, I'll do it again!"
"I'm with Garv!" Valtierria yelled.
"You forgot the sama again!" shouted a distraught Garv.
Lina rolled her eyes. "How about you, Dolphin?" she asked the kai-ou who had been silent all these while. Dolphin sat there, her deep blue eyes thoughtful.
"Phibrizo, can't we help them?" she pleaded. The raven-haired teenager stared at her.
"You too?" he demanded. Dolphin nodded.
"I've had enough of this. I don't want to fight anymore. I had all that I always wanted in this life. A proper family, friends, peaceful life with no wars or bloodshed, I don't want Ruby-Eye-sama to take them away." she whispered.
"We're his children! He created us, we can't juts betray him like that." Phibrizo yelled.
"I disagree." Zelas snorted. "I'm Mrs and Mr Metallium's children, and they created me when they you-know-what."
Xellos burst out laughing. "Yeah, I'm with Zelas-sama."
Phibrizo stared sullenly at the ground. "I won't make a decision until we find Dynast."
"Does this mean that you'll help us?" Amelia asked hopefully.
"Wait a minute, don't take it that we're helping you. We're doing it because we're pissed off with that crab and I still want to graduate from my university." Zelas said as she ran her fingers through her wavy blonde hair. "But we're not helping the dragons."
Luna smiled. "Whatever, just as long as you fight Shabby."
"How are we going to find Dynast-sama?" Sherra asked worriedly.
"For all we know he might be in India." Garv chortled. "Can you imagine that icicle in a turban??" he snorted, and started laughing.
Zelas rolled her eyes and lit a cigarette. "Don't be an idiot."
"You're still smoking." Garv observed.
"Not to mention drinking." Luna muttered. "Ok ok, enough of stupid talk. We have to decide what to do with the rest of the 'missing' people. We can't juts go around with a picture of them and ask if anyone saw them."
Ceipheed nodded. "I think we should split up, so that finding them would be quicker."
"How many more are there?" Sylfiell asked.
"Dynast-sama, Grau, Grou and Norst." Sherra said.
" Don't forget Milgazia and Barluwin." Lanngourt said thoughtfully.
"Raltaark and Ralshaark." Garv roared. "Don't miss out my general and priest."
Valtierria made a face. "Them??"
"Do you think Lei is here too?" Luna asked.
"Lei Magnus?" Vrabazard frowned. "Is he good or bad?'
"Good without Shabby, bad when Shabby is in him." Phibrizo said. "Maybe Ruby-Eye-sama might 'possess him'."
"Doesn't Shabby have a body like Ceipheed?' Lina asked aloud
"He has." Dolphin replied. "He just seldom appears in it."
"We should spilt into three groups. One to find the mazokus, one to find the dragons and one to find Lei." Luna pointed out.
"Easy. Mazokus, dragons and humans." Valtierria grinned.
"Don't be nuts, We would be easy targets for Shabby then, especially the humans." Zelas snorted, puffing on her cigarette.
"Sherra should find Dynast, since firstly she's his general and secondly they may share a link or something." Luna muttered. "Alright, here it goes. Sherra, Garv, Dolphin, Lanngourt and Vrabazard and Valtierria shall find Dynast, Grau, Grou, Norst, Ralshaark and Raltaark."
"I shall bring Laguladia, Filia, Xellos, and Sylfiell to find Milgazia and Valwin." Ceipheed said.
"Then I will go with Zelas, Lina, Amelia, Zelgadis, Phibrizo to find Lei." Luna finished.
"Ceipheed-sama, must we bring that fruitcake along?" Filia whined.
Xellos pouted. "That's not very nice, Filia-chan."
"Don't 'chan' me" the angry dragon snapped.
"Ok.But where do we start?" Lina asked.
"I'm sure they're all in America.Don't we have any clues?" Luna sighed
"The Claire Bible can help." Ceipheed said after thinking for a while. "It seems that it will glow if we are nearing any one of the missing person."
"But there's only one Claire Bible." Dolphin pointed out.
"Then those finding Dynast and the other should take it, since they have to find the most people."
"No, Ceipheed-sama, you have to take it, it's part of your energy." Luna exclaimed.
"."Ceipheed thought for a while before speaking. "I don't have the power to fight Shabranigdu now, but I can get back my power if I go back to the Slayers world for a period of time."
"That means you can't communicate with any of us?" Vrabazard asked, concerned.
"Yes."
"For how long?" Luna asked.
"I don't know. L-sama should be able to help."
"L-sama is over there?" Lina inquired.
Ceipheed nodded. "But she can't come over to this world unlike me, that's because I have the Claire Bible as a medium. L-sama can't use it as the power doesn't belong to her. I am able t use the Bible as you can say that Shabranigdu is my 'brother', so his power and mine is linked. And one more thing, Shabranigdu will do anything to destroy the Claire Bible, so don't let him get his hands on it. If the Claire Bible is destroyed, I won't be able to come here."
"Doesn't Shabby's power come from the Bible?" Xellos asked.
Ceipheed shook his head. "No, he was created from it, but his power is from L-sama. Since he wasn't created by L-sama, he could turn against her."
"Man this is fucking confusing." Garv muttered.
"The Claire Bible shall still be used by Sherra and the others who are finding the mazokus. Just be careful with it." Ceipheed informed, his golden eyes unreadable as ever.
"Alright. We shall meet here the next morning at 6 am sharp. Don't be late." Luna shouted.
Zelgadis groaned. "Here? My house again!?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
A/N: Finally finished this. I'm also getting very confused about the L- sama, Ceipheed, Shabby and the Claire Bible part. *wails* Thank you all who supplied me with the information on the priests and stuffs. Oh well, I assure you, Dynast-sama will come out in the next chapter. Finally. *Sobs*
I would also like to thank those who read this even though you don't review.and uh.thanks even more to those who reviewed.
Disclaimer: I keep forgetting to write a disclaimer. Anyway, Slayers and Dynast sobs* belongs to.I don't know his name--;;;.*laughs nervously*
It was a rather peaceful day. The birds are chirping, the butterflies are flying the crickets are singing, but how can you call it a peaceful day when the mazoku's equivalent of chaos is taking place in a little.well not so little house down the street?
"Damn it Phibby! Give that to me!"
"The name's Phibrizo, fat gorilla!" Phibrizo yelled.
"Fuck you! Give the remote control to me, now!" Garv hollered as tackled his cousin.
The ex-hellmaster kicked at Garv while trying to hold the remote control out of his older cousin's reach.
Zelgadis groaned. 'Are these the friends Lina was talking about?' He wondered as he watched the dust cloud that involves two mazoku lords and a remote control. 'Even in this life they can't stop fighting' he thought, shaking his head, silently praying to whatever Gods that exists to protect his house.
The door bell rang again. Zelgadis dragged his feet to the door and opened it.
"Zel!!!!" a figure screamed and glomped him.
"Aya." he muttered. 'Who else did Lina called?' he wondered. 'Kami-sama, please let me and my house survive this.'
"Ahem, are you forgetting me?'
Zelgadis pulled the over excited Kai-ou off and saw Lanngourt standing behind Aya. He invited them inside and returned to praying for the safety of his house.
"Where is your girlfriend, Zel-kun?" Aya asked as Lanngourt joined the dust cloud.
Zelgadid blushed madly. "What girlfriend."he stammered. The kai-ou giggled.
"Amelia-san!"
Zelgadis was about to answer when the door opened. Xellos, Filia, Valterria and Raksha walked in.
"Can't you knock!?" he snapped at Xellos.
Xellos giggled. "Why are Garv, Phibby and Lanngourt fighting?"
"."
Suddenly, Garv gave a loud yell and burst out of the dust cloud. " I win!! The remote control is mine! Mwahahahahah!" he roared as he stood on the couch. Phibrizzo and Lanngourt lay on the floor, cursing in anger. The former Earth Dragon King stood up and lunged at Garv who was dancing on the couch and knocked him over the sofa. The both of them hit the ground with a loud thud and another dust cloud followed. Zelgadis buried his head in his hands, but jerked up again when he heard a rather colourful language and a loud bang.

Xellos paused in his argument to give Sherra a cheeky grin before going back to fight for his so called 'rights' in using language. Dynast's general exploded and pulled out Dolgoulfa. Xellos, delighted that he managed to annoy so many people in one day happily took out his staff and a started fighting with Sherra while continuing arguing with the enraged dragon.

"Shut the fuck up and listen to what the girl has to say!" Val snapped. Garv grumbled under his breath. When everyone was found a conformable place to seat, be it the couch, the floor or even the staircase, Lina pulled out the Claire Bible.

"In the name of justice I shall not allow you to destroy Zel- san's couch!" Amelia yelled.
The two mazoku lords rolled their eyes. "Shut up."
"It's rude to point." Garv pointed out to a distraught Amelia.
Then the door opened again. " Well, well, a reunion."
"Onee-san!" Lina gasped.
"Luna!" Lagul said cheerfully, then his smile faded. "Juu-ou."
"Onne-san!" Xellos greeted Zelas who was standing behind Luna.
"That's Zelas-sama to you, Xellos." Zelas smirked.
Xellos grinned. "Luna told you."
"Garv! It's good to see you again!" Val cried out as he hugged Garv.
"You just saw me, and you forgot something."
"What?"
"Garv what?" the Maryuu-ou said impatiently.

"L-sama sealed up!?" Raksha, or better known as Vrabazard shouted.
"How can that be?" Lanngourt muttered.
"Lucky it's not Ceipheed-sama." Lagul, or rather Rugradia said. Phibrizo smirked.
"So, Lina Inverse, you want us to help you fight Shabranigdu?"
Lina nodded. 'How am I going to get the mazokus to join us' she thought in despair.
"You want us to betray Ruby-Eye-sama?" the hellmaster sneered.
Lina sighed. "I know I can't force you, the ultimate decision is yours, but actually you aren't his generals anymore, considering that you're now humans."
"Man, I agree!" Garv roared as he stood up. "That stupid crab turned me into half human last time and I haven't settled that score with him. Since I betrayed him once, I'll do it again!"
"I'm with Garv!" Valtierria yelled.
"You forgot the sama again!" shouted a distraught Garv.
Lina rolled her eyes. "How about you, Dolphin?" she asked the kai-ou who had been silent all these while. Dolphin sat there, her deep blue eyes thoughtful.
"Phibrizo, can't we help them?" she pleaded. The raven-haired teenager stared at her.
"You too?" he demanded. Dolphin nodded.
"I've had enough of this. I don't want to fight anymore. I had all that I always wanted in this life. A proper family, friends, peaceful life with no wars or bloodshed, I don't want Ruby-Eye-sama to take them away." she whispered.
"We're his children! He created us, we can't juts betray him like that." Phibrizo yelled.
"I disagree." Zelas snorted. "I'm Mrs and Mr Metallium's children, and they created me when they you-know-what."
Xellos burst out laughing. "Yeah, I'm with Zelas-sama."
Phibrizo stared sullenly at the ground. "I won't make a decision until we find Dynast."
"Does this mean that you'll help us?" Amelia asked hopefully.
"Wait a minute, don't take it that we're helping you. We're doing it because we're pissed off with that crab and I still want to graduate from my university." Zelas said as she ran her fingers through her wavy blonde hair. "But we're not helping the dragons."
Luna smiled. "Whatever, just as long as you fight Shabby."
"How are we going to find Dynast-sama?" Sherra asked worriedly.
"For all we know he might be in India." Garv chortled. "Can you imagine that icicle in a turban??" he snorted, and started laughing.
Zelas rolled her eyes and lit a cigarette. "Don't be an idiot."
"You're still smoking." Garv observed.
"Not to mention drinking." Luna muttered. "Ok ok, enough of stupid talk. We have to decide what to do with the rest of the 'missing' people. We can't juts go around with a picture of them and ask if anyone saw them."
Ceipheed nodded. "I think we should split up, so that finding them would be quicker."
"How many more are there?" Sylfiell asked.
"Dynast-sama, Grau, Grou and Norst." Sherra said.
" Don't forget Milgazia and Barluwin." Lanngourt said thoughtfully.
"Raltaark and Ralshaark." Garv roared. "Don't miss out my general and priest."
Valtierria made a face. "Them??"
"Do you think Lei is here too?" Luna asked.
"Lei Magnus?" Vrabazard frowned. "Is he good or bad?'
"Good without Shabby, bad when Shabby is in him." Phibrizo said. "Maybe Ruby-Eye-sama might 'possess him'."
"Doesn't Shabby have a body like Ceipheed?' Lina asked aloud
"He has." Dolphin replied. "He just seldom appears in it."
"We should spilt into three groups. One to find the mazokus, one to find the dragons and one to find Lei." Luna pointed out.
"Easy. Mazokus, dragons and humans." Valtierria grinned.
"Don't be nuts, We would be easy targets for Shabby then, especially the humans." Zelas snorted, puffing on her cigarette.
"Sherra should find Dynast, since firstly she's his general and secondly they may share a link or something." Luna muttered. "Alright, here it goes. Sherra, Garv, Dolphin, Lanngourt and Vrabazard and Valtierria shall find Dynast, Grau, Grou, Norst, Ralshaark and Raltaark."
"I shall bring Laguladia, Filia, Xellos, and Sylfiell to find Milgazia and Valwin." Ceipheed said.
"Then I will go with Zelas, Lina, Amelia, Zelgadis, Phibrizo to find Lei." Luna finished.
"Ceipheed-sama, must we bring that fruitcake along?" Filia whined.
Xellos pouted. "That's not very nice, Filia-chan."
"Don't 'chan' me" the angry dragon snapped.
"Ok.But where do we start?" Lina asked.
"I'm sure they're all in America.Don't we have any clues?" Luna sighed
"The Claire Bible can help." Ceipheed said after thinking for a while. "It seems that it will glow if we are nearing any one of the missing person."
"But there's only one Claire Bible." Dolphin pointed out.
"Then those finding Dynast and the other should take it, since they have to find the most people."
"No, Ceipheed-sama, you have to take it, it's part of your energy." Luna exclaimed.
"."Ceipheed thought for a while before speaking. "I don't have the power to fight Shabranigdu now, but I can get back my power if I go back to the Slayers world for a period of time."
"That means you can't communicate with any of us?" Vrabazard asked, concerned.
"Yes."
"For how long?" Luna asked.
"I don't know. L-sama should be able to help."
"L-sama is over there?" Lina inquired.
Ceipheed nodded. "But she can't come over to this world unlike me, that's because I have the Claire Bible as a medium. L-sama can't use it as the power doesn't belong to her. I am able t use the Bible as you can say that Shabranigdu is my 'brother', so his power and mine is linked. And one more thing, Shabranigdu will do anything to destroy the Claire Bible, so don't let him get his hands on it. If the Claire Bible is destroyed, I won't be able to come here."
"Doesn't Shabby's power come from the Bible?" Xellos asked.
Ceipheed shook his head. "No, he was created from it, but his power is from L-sama. Since he wasn't created by L-sama, he could turn against her."
"Man this is fucking confusing." Garv muttered.
"The Claire Bible shall still be used by Sherra and the others who are finding the mazokus. Just be careful with it." Ceipheed informed, his golden eyes unreadable as ever.
"Alright. We shall meet here the next morning at 6 am sharp. Don't be late." Luna shouted.
Zelgadis groaned. "Here? My house again!?"
