Filia, stood in front of the groups table and gave a little cough, Amelia
was the first to notice her.
"Hello, Filia-san, what are doing here? Is little Val with you?" she asked.
"I'm here to inform you that you are needed to save the world again," she replied "And no Val is not with me, I left him at home and I kind of needed to get back before the babysitter starts worrying."
"What is it this time?" Lina asked half heartedly.
Filia blinked no fireballs, no demand of payment, what happen? Oh well, better say what you have to and run "Well, it's like this ... you see Shabranigdu has a daughter, who was sealed up a long time ago because, well she was just too destructive, and now someone is trying to set her free and.."
"What?!" screeched Lina
"Shabranigdu has a daughter ."
"That's what I thought I'd heard."
"So, you'll do it?"
"I don't know."
"Don't know about what?" came a filmier cheerful voice.
"Xellos? Well its official we're need to save the world again," chilled Lina.
"Sorry to be the barer of bad news. again, but, yes you are," was Xellos's reply.
"Why are the mazkous worried about this?" asked Filia
"Who do think sealed her up in the first place?" Xellos growled.
*Growled, since when did Xellos growled and where is his normal smug domineer? Wait, he didn't do 'that's a secret' thing! What's wrong with him?* thought Filia.
While Xellos was yelling at Filia he happen to notice a very faint yet falmure aura scanning the room quickly Xellos figured that it was coming from a young human male that was exiting the inn. The boy, no older than 18, smiled at him before he left the inn and then faded, muzkou style faded. Xellos had to blink at that, what was going on here, as far as he knew there were no new muzkou, especial one that could take on a semi-human aura. He would ask about it later, right now, there where other thing to deal with. Like city guards running into the inn.
"Princess Amelia, someone as broken into one of the ancient temples," one of them braked.
"What?"
With that the Slayers group rushed out of the inn following the guards to the ramshackle temple.

Meanwhile on a hill outside the city the young man was smiling, he could hear the commotion from the city below, and knew full well what it was about.
"You should not have shown yourself to Xellos" came a cold voice from behind.
"But Lady Zelas, where would the fun be in that? Beside its high time that he had his own mind played with" the lad smirked.
"Asim, you know that now he'll start asking questions, besides this was suppose to be a in and out job. THAT MEANT THAT YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSE TO STOP FOR COFFEE!" yelled the Dark Lord.
"But I like coffee," Asim whined "beside it's been two days since I had a cup and I was really being to shake."
"You and your coffee," grumbled Zelas as lit one of her cigarettes.
"At least my addiction won't cause me to have trouble breathing or cause per-mature wrinkles."
"What?!"
Asim smiled, and walked away from the dumbfound Dark Lord.
"Where do you think your going?" she recovered.
"To Atlas City."
"Yeah I'm suppose to "fade" you into town, remember?"
"I know, but know that Lina and Co. are on the case, well.. I think some competition would be nice and zapping to place to place just isn't fair. Besides I know where the runes lay and how to break the seals, and zapping was kind of giving me a headache any way."
"In other words you want to meet up with them, and going adventuring with, correct?" Asim turned and looked at Zelas, there was a look of long about his eyes.
Zelas sighed "I know you're lonely and I can feel your pain, but it's just for this mission. Remember, should things go south you are the only back up plan we got."
"Look I promise I won't get myself killed and I won't tell the other the truth if I meet them, okay."
"And what about Xellos?"
"Mind games can be fun," chuckled Asim.
"Oh why did I let Xellos genetic data go free?" the Dark Lord asked to Asim's back.
"Because deep down you like guys that can aggravate people seven ways until Sunday," was the distant reply she got for Asim

Are heroes where looking at a ransacked room, the furniture was tossed about, a window was broken but all in all it didn't look like anything was taken from the room.
"Looks like the thief don't find what he was looking for," said Lina after they searched the room.
"Yeah," replied Gourry "the only thing that seems to be missing is this title," pointing at a gap in the walls design.
"A title?" mused Amelia "Why would they want a title?"
"Because its one of the titles needed to set Nemeses free, that's why." Xellos stated half heartedly.
"His right," gasped Filia "Look it reads here (pointing to the titles surround the gap)
Light seals way the darkness,
In order to protect from harm
Those the darkness would consume
To blot out the Light with this stone
One must say the words
That lies within.
"It must be a spell for breaking the seal around the title," she continued.
"So I guess this means that the bad guys are one up on us already," said Lina "Amelia how soon can you be ready to go?"
"I'm not sure but I should be able to be ready by tomorrow."
"Good, Gourry and I well get thing ready."
"Aren't you forgetting something?" asked Filia
"Like what?" question Lina.
"Like where the next piece is?" snared Filia, while looking at Xellos.
"The nearest piece is in Atlas City." Sighed Xellos
"Well then, next stop is Atlas City," cheered Lina.

Somewhere else in a dark cave, a man in his early 20's stood looking at a large light purple crystal; his back was towards the door way, when a thin panther like creature stalked in.
"Do you have it?" the man asked.
"No Sssire, it wasss gone when I got there," it relied.
"So we have competition do we?" the man smiled
"Yesss, Sssire asss well asss Lina Inaverssse," it informed "I sssaw her withhhh Xellossss, they where talking about ruining your plan, Sssire.
"Humm, so I have two people trying to ruin my plans now do I?" the man sneered "Ahriman, keep and eye on Lina for now, not interfere with her gathering the runes, we can always take them form her later."
"Isss that all Masster?" asked Ahriman.
"Yes, well have Lina find are other foe, and if we're lucky she'll destroy him for us. Never hurt your foe if you can have your enemies do it for you." The man purred.
With that Ahriman walked out of the cave and darted towards Atlas City.
"Soon everything well fall into place and chaos will run free once more!" the man laughed.
Mouse- Hi, so that's that chapter what did you think of it? At last I'm getting to main story line, but unfortunately I have no clue as to what's going to happen in Atlas City, so it's going to be a while, unless I come up with and idea really fast.
Now to respond to a few reviews: Sorry folk, those of you who like my poetry are going to be left high and dry for a while, I don't see where I can fit any of it in anytime soon, but when I can I will. And if the characters are out of character, well I'll try it fix it the best I can, just remember two thing: 1) this is how I see the characters acting and 2) I haven't seen to many of their episodes so my idea may be off. Sorry to disappoint people but that just the way thing are. As for the Amelia and Zel thing I believe in it and their will be undertones of it, but there shall be nothing that happen between them if I can help it (sometime these thing just take on a mind of their own). And for the burning question of this fan fic, just because some people care, have I killed ZeL, '^_^' that for me to know and for you to read. Besides if you think really hard you may just realize who with Zel's body. You found out one of them in chapter. As for resurrecting his muzoku side, humm I didn't think of that. nay, I like my way better. But just to be a pain, in a way they may and may not be trying to resurrect his muzoku side.
