That Boy is Who?! Ch.2 Tournament mystery solved
The Slayers gang got there at noon, it was a good thing they left in the morning or they would not have gotten there in time. It was tourcher walking for that long with Zafiel singing the whole way. At least they made it with out Lina trying to kill her or they'd all be dead( Zafiel's anger is worse then Lina's). As they all looked around they noticed all the little shops set up, it was like a carnival.

"My I didn't so many people would be here." said Sylphiel.

"Well of course a lot of people would be here I mean how many magic competitions have there been." Zafiel answered.

"Not many ." said Zelgaddiss.

"Exactly." Said Zafiel.

"Makes sense to me." Said Gourry. Lina was quiet she was thinking all about what Zafiel said yesterday and was thinking why she never herd of him and who he was and how could someone might be as powerful as Zafiel.

"Miss Lina you've been quit since we got here." Said Amila.

"I've just been thinking that's all."

"Oh."

"Hey guys I think we should get to the registration booth before it closes." said Zafiel.

* * * * * * * *

The preliminaries took long enough it was two full hours of waiting in line and testing and more waiting. Finally the top sixteen contestants where chosen and where now waiting to draw numbers.

"I thought they would never end." Sighed Frili.

"I know how you feel." Answered Zafiel.

"Excuse me will all contestants come up and pick a number when I call your name."

"So are you going to tell us who this mystery fighter is?" asked Xellos.

"Nope. You'll find out on your own." Answered Zafiel.

"Man, you can be as much of a pain as Xellos." complained Lina.

"First up Lina Inverse."

"Here." Reached her hand into the box and pulled out a number. "I'm number seven." Zafiel held out her hand like she was about to snap it.

"Xalofe."

"Hey Zafiel what are you doing?"yelled Frili.

"Just going to change the numbers a bit."

"What that's cheating!"

"It's not like you to cheat." Said Lina

"Sagrow."

"I know but I want to make sure I fight this guy in the final round." Said Zafiel.

"Prillow."

"Aran."

"Galuos."

"Dranore."

"Vofea."

"Zafiel." Zafiel heard her name and put her hand into the box and pick a number but before she pulled it out she snapped her fingers and the number on the ball changed and she pulled it out.

"Number four."

"Frili Ul Copt."

"Number two." At the sound of two the gears in Zafiel's head started turning and an evil grin grew.

"Helow."

"Xellos Mettelim." The grin on Zafiel's face only grew wider when Xellos placed his hand into the box. Zafiel reached out her hand and snapped.

"Number one." Frili's mouth turned to a frown.

"Seloan."

"ZAFIEL HOW COULD YOU PAIR ME UP WITH THAT MONSTOUSETY!!!!!!!!" Frili yelled Zafiel only giggled.

"Latous."

"Wellow."

"Ozzirbihp." A small boy with short sandy blond hair and fiery eyes stepped up to draw a number. Once again Zafiel snapped her fingers (she does that a lot).

"No way that can't possibly be the fighter you spoke of, he's a kid." Said Lina.

"Yep, that's him." Zafiel answered.

"Number ten."

"Ok tell me how a kid can be as powerful as you say and tell me now?" Asked a confused Lina. Xellos and Frili perked up they're ears.

"I heard about your fight with Hellmaster Phibrizzo and I requested that Hellmaster be reincarnated as a good person so that we could fight together. It turns out the Lord of Nightmares heard my request and made it happen."

"WHAT?!!!!!!!" shouted everyone.

"Your joking it possible be him." Said Lina.

"Nope I'm not joking, Ozzirbihp is Phibrizzo reincarnated. And there's a pretty significant clue."

"Huh."

"Think about it Ozzirbihp is Phibrizzo spelled backwards, pretty neat huh."

"I don't believe it." said Frili. As Lina and Frili stared at the young boy in disbelieve Xellos slowly faded out.

* * * * * *

"Miss Lina and the others have been gone for quit some time." Sighed Amila.

"The preliminaries are take longer than I thought." Said Zelgaddess.

"I wonder who that really powerful person is that Zafiel told us about." said Gourry.

"Yeah me to." Said Zelgaddess

"Well you don't need to wonder any more." Said Xellos suddenly appearing right in front of Zelgaddess' face.

"AHH!" Yelled everyone.

"Xellos what in the world are you doing here!" Yelled Zelgaddess.

"I just thought you would like to know who the mystery fighter is."

* * * * *

"What?!!!!!!!!"

"You mean to tell us that that little brat was reincarnated." Said Zangluss.

"Yep."

"You mean that little kid that almost killed us?" asked Gourry.

"Yep."

"I don't believe it." Said Amila.

"Nether do I." said Sylphiel.

"What is that little brat up to now?" said Martina.

"Excuse me but the tournament is about to begin so every one take your seats."

"Well looks like we should be going." Said Xellos after he disappeared to fight in the tournament.
Zafiel: Sorry it took so long I was really busy doing school work and my sister was one most of the time. Unfortunately the next chapter is probably going to take longer. Again sorry to keep you waiting.
