Purifying Evil
~Headstrong [Trapt]
Circling your, circling your, circling your head / Contemplating everything
you ever said / Now I see the truth / I got a doubt / A different motive in
your eyes and now I'm out / See you later / I see your fantasy, you want to
make it a reality paved in gold / See inside, inside of our heads, yeah /
Well now that's over / I see your motives inside, decisions to hide // Back
off we'll take you on / Headstrong to take on anyone / I know that you are
wrong / Headstrong we're Headstrong / Back off I'll take you on /
Headstrong to take on anyone / I know that you are wrong / And this is not
where you belong // I can't give everything away / I won't give everything
away // Conclusions manifest / Your first impressions got to be your very
best / I see you're full of s*** and that's alright / That's how you play I
guess you get through every night / Well now that's over / I see your
fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold / See inside, inside
of our heads, yeah / Well now that's over/ I see your motives inside,
decisions to hide // Back off we'll take you on / Headstrong to take on
anyone / I know that you are wrong / Headstrong we're Headstrong / Back off
I'll take you on / Headstrong to take on anyone / I know that you are wrong
/ And this is not where you belong // Where you belong / I can't give
everything away / This is not where you belong / I won't give everything
away //I know, I know all about / I know, I know all about / I know, I know
all about / I know, I know all about your motives inside and your decision
to hide //
Back off we'll take you on / Headstrong to take on anyone / I know that you are wrong / Headstrong we're Headstrong / Back off I'll take you on / Headstrong to take on anyone / I know that you are wrong / And this is not where you belong // Where you belong / This is not where you belong / I can't give everything away / This is not where you belong / I won't give everything away/ This is not where you belong // ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, you've decided to pick up your family's legacy after all eh? Watch out, swinging around that thing like you know what you're doing might get someone's eye poked out."
Gourry stood in a defensive position, his sword held out in front of him, not saying anything, betraying no emotion.
Xellos became aggrivated, why must everyone interfere with his plans? "You know, Lina's mine, she's been mine since you left her all alone. A very complex creature she is, running to me when you left, running to you when she gets a little scared, why do you fight for someone who constantly puts you down like that. Could you possibly love her?" He laughed, "Oh that's rich, the idiot blonde loving the high-strung, tempermental red-head." Xellos grinned as he saw Gourry tense.
"Quit trying to understand Xellos, it's beyond your level of comprehension." Zelgadiss stood up after casting a sleep spell on Lina, drawing his own sword.
"Two against one, that's not very fair, and aren't the swords a little harsh? I mean this is just Lina we're talking about, no one really likes her, no one can handle her."
"Shut up." Both Zelgadiss and Xellos jumped at the rashness in Gourry's voice. Something had been ignited, a hatred everyone thought the bubblehead was incapable of. "I know what you're capable of, magic not many can use in this day. But when you commit such a crime as you have done, then your only retribution is death. You may be right, I may love Lina, but what matters right now is that you pay for the crimes you've committed against her."
"What, it's not as if I took anything from her. She's still innocent, matter of fact, you got here just in time, or else, she may have-" Xellos was cut off as he was met by the pomel of Gourry's sword in his face. He stumbled back a bit, holding his face and growling fiercly. "You will pay for that!"
"Zel, take Lina out of here, this is between me and him." Gouirry's tone of voice left no room for argument, so Zel only nodded and carried Lina back into her room.
"Correction, this is between me and Lina, she's mine, not yours!"
"Lina belongs to no one, you're sick!"
"Tell me something I haven't already been told." White-hot pain exploded in Xellos's arm. Glancing down, he found that infact, he didn't have a right arm. Black blood dripped from his arm, disappearing before it hit the floor. He stared in alarm at his severed arm, "Only the Sword of Light can do that much damage to-" he cut himself off when he saw Gourry holding a glowing sword out in front of him. Xellos growled, "This is becoming a veritable fairy tell ne?"
Suddenly, a blast of air hit Gourry, sending him across the room, slamming against the wall, "You're awfully headstrong you know that?"
"Yeah, well, you're not gonna get what you want!"
"What'er you, her protector?"
"Yeah," Gourry grinned standing up, hauling his sword up, holding it diagonal to his body. Panting, he made his move, charging across the room, for they were now in the spacious living room, at Xellos, "I guess so!"
Xellos sent a sizeable fireball at Gourry who split in half with his sword, although it still managed to scorch the sides of his face, he ignored the pain, having one thing on his mind, vengeance for Lina. Magic and sword flew throughout the room for a while before Gourry realized he had no chance at making contact with Xellos's body unless somehow, Xellos decided to fight with a sword, Gourry put it beyond Xellos to fight fair.
Gourry was trying to fight his way around to the hall to fetch Zelgadiss to help him, but Xellos wouldn't budge when suddenly, Xellos let out an immense cry of pain as his whole body began to contract. A voice thundered around the room seeming to come from everywhere, "This is what you owe when you try things on my family!" Gourry dropped his stance when he glanced at the terrifying purple-haired woman standing in the doorway of the living room.
Luna held Xellos up until he passed out then unceremoniously dropped him to the ground.
"He's not..."
"Dear Gourry, I could never kill, mame, torture, maybe, but not kill."
Gourry shivered and picked up Xellos's body, grimly he looked at her, "Tell Lina I'll be back."
Luna nodded in understanding and let him walk past and out the door before she proceeded into Lina's room. *** Zelgadiss looked up from Lina's sleeping form when he heard a knocking at the window. Instantly, he got up and opened it for a girl with short, blackish purple hair and bright, shining eyes to crawl in. She looked at him a moment with a slight blush on her face, then set about talking, "Why couldn't I just come in the front way?"
"Amelia, there's a sort of battle going on out there."
Amelia heard the sounds of combat and shook her head, "It's simply unjust to fight in someone's house, they could mess everything up!"
"Amerlia, I called you for Lina..."
"Oh yeah. Well, what kind of crimes did that criminal commit against dearest Lina?" Glancing at Lina's beaten body, Amelia recoiled, "Oh dear, this is serious."
"But you can heal her right?" Zel looked hopefully into Amelia's eyes, causing her to blush again and filling her with a positive determination.
"Of course!" Amelia leaned over Lina's body and soon was chanting a healing spell while speaking with Zel, "I had actually thought for a moment I'd forgotten how to do this stuff, it's been so long. It's really a shame that those blessed with magic skills are considered freaks around here." Zel nodded in agreement watching Lina regain some of her color.
"In the name of justice, I truly hope that that monster gets what he deserves." Amelia frowned at Lina. They'd known eachother for a while, Amelia always looked up to Lina for her enthusiasm and apparent fear of nothing. Many called her a hero worshipper, but she didn't care, Lina was special to her, seeing her like this was just unnerving.
Hearing a screech of agony, Zelgadiss smirked, just because Xellos was his brother doesn't mean he was fond of the purple haired man, "I think he is."
Not long after, Luna Inverse carefully tread down the hall into the room to find Zel and Amelia each holding one of the unconscious Lina's hands. She smiled. these were the kinds of friends Luna wanted Lina to have. *** a/n: dark greyish, not as well written but i wanted to get this outta the way so i can finish up maybe in the next chapter. so, two chapters in one night, that's my record, might make it three if i'm bored enough. comments loved!
