Xel: -koughkough-
KK: And a bit of torture.
Xel: And pain!
KK: Whatever.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Slayers. Nor do I own Stargate, Inuyasha, the Legacy of Kain series, Transformers or X-Files. BUT... I do own Nagori! He's in this one too, because I couldn't think of anyone more goofy. And his part requires it.
/--------------------------------------
Chapter II: You mean, it worked?
SG-1 and Zel-tachi were standing infront of the stargate, and everyone had a thoughtful expression on their face.
Na: This is not right.
Jack: Yeah, we can't possibly come from the same planet.
A few moments of deep thinking pass. Than Daniel broke the silence.
Dan: There was the time, when the stargate sent us back trough time.
Carter: That still doesn't explain their powers.
Jack: Can't they come from... You know, like on the planet with the mirror thing...
Daniel::sweatdrop: You mean, from a paralell dimension?
Sam: Not from a paralell one.
Amelia totally lost the line by now, but Zel seemed to understand.
Daniel: Then from... an alternate universe?
Sam: That's plausible, but how could the stargate create a wormhole trough dimensions?
Na::sweatdrop: Would you guys PLEASE explain!
Teal'c: No one we ever met had powers like you have. And we were on many worlds.
Na: So...
Zel: So it seems something unplanned happened.
Na: What could cause something like this?
Sam: Something with high energy.
Zel&Ame look at the amulett on Na's neck.
Na: Could this be... ?
He tried to get the amulett off, but it stopped in mid-air.
Na::sweatdrop: A little help would be apreciated!
Now whole Zel-tachi tried to take the amulett from Na, but it just didn't move.
Na: I think we have an answer.
Now whole SG-1 raised an eyebrow.
/--------------------------------------
After traveling to the outpost of SG-1, the whole gang sit down at a large table and started the story of their arrival.
Na: ...and then we met you.
Jack: So, that piece-o-jewelry grants wishes?
Zel: It should.
Sam: Should?
Amelia: Yes, when Zelgadiss-san tried it, it didn't work.
Na: That's just not that sure.
Both Ame&Zel raised an eyebrow.
Zel: What do you mean?
Na: We don't know exactly how sould it work, right?
Ame: So...
Na: So, maybe it just needs something. Like some time, or a specific power.
Amelia: But why did it stuck on you Nagori-san and why not on Zelgadiss-san?
Na took a closer look at the thing.
Na: AHA!
Everyone was looking at him now.
Na: Here, you see. -he pointed at a sign on the amulett- The sign of purity.
Amelia: Purity as in...
Zel::sigh: Human.
Na: Not just.
Ame: You mean like... -she started blushing-
Na: -with a red face- Y... Yes. Like that too.
Zel: I'm still... :blush: ummm... nevermind.
-after a few really embarresing moments-
Amelia: Then it could work.
Zelgadiss: We just need to find out how.
Na: Well, I really wanted to get out of the cave, so maybe it only needs strong will.
Zel: And it didn't teleport us out, so it has a way of fulfilling wishes.
In the background, Na really tries to pull off the amulett, then gives up. He starts to chant something just under breath...
Na: ...FLOW BREAK!
The spell succeeded, the usual sign and the white glow appeared. Then it died down.
SG-1 was a bit nervous.
Jack: What was that supposed to be?
Na: Something that's supposed to 'turn off' spells.
He tries to take the amulett off again, but it still doesn't move.
Na sighed and he crossed his hands.
Na: Why do these kind of things happen to me?
After that a man walks into the room.
The man: -to O'neil- Sir, we just lost radar and comm sytems. And half of the computers are rendered useless.
Na: -with his right hand on the back of his head- Ops! Sorry.
Jack: -a bit frustrated- Just... don't do that again.
Amelia: Umm... can I ask something?
Sam: Sure.
Ame: You said, you're not from this world. Than what are you doing here?
Dan: That needs some explenation. You see, there's a species called the Goa'uld, and they tend to take control of the galaxy. They're highly advanced, and they enslave humans to use them as vessels. They're the enemy of everyone, and we're trying to defeat them.
Amelia: -with big eyes- It's so good to see, that even across space and dimensions people fight for the sake of justice!
Ame: -with a leg on the table and her fist high up- We will help you in your righteous crusade of justise!
SG-1 sweatdroppes.
Jack leans to Zel.
Jack: What's wrong with her?
Zel::blush: Don't ask.
As he finished the sentence an alarm went off.
Jack: Aeral assault!
Sam: How did they found us? The place should be cloaked by natural magnatic fields.
And she looks at her compass.
Sam: It works! The field's gone! That's impossible!
Na: Umm... I think the flow break broke the field.
After that they all run out to see what happened. Three Al'kesh's are shooting at the camp. The soldiers are firing at them with machine guns, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Than Jack pulls out an RPG from a nearby crate and shoots the granade at the nearest ship. The explosion sends it crashing a half mile away from the camp.
Zel unleashes his sword.
Daniel: What are you doing?
Zel: Just watch. -he starts to chant- ...ASTRAL VINE!
His sword was now enchanted with astral power. He walked a few paces and then...
Zel: RAY WING!
...he took off. The ship turned arount to make another burst at the camp. Zel charged it, sinked his sword in the front and cut it all the way to the end. After Zel finished it, the ships damaged side exploded and it fell down a few metres away from the camp.
Dan: Wow.
Jack: Now THAT, was... unexpected.
Na: I'll get the last one.
He also started a chant.
Na: ...RUBY-EYE BLADE!
A crimson blade formed in his hands.
Na: LEVITATION!
And he took off too, and charged the last ship. He hit it on the bottom, and went trough it. The Al'kesh exploded in the second the blade went trough the middle part, leaving Nagori a bit more scratched then he would of like it. After that he levitated to the others.
Na: These things tend to... explode.
And he pulled out a piece of metal from his left arm.
Sam: We have a doctor here, you should see him.
Na: No need.
He already started a healing spell on his injured arm.
Zel: -after landing, smugly- If these Goa'uld are so powerful, then why don't they have a larger ship?
As if someone heard that, a Goa'uld mothership appeared from the clouds.
Na: You had to open your big mouth.
Jack: Everyone evacuate!
Na: I have an idea. Amelia, go with them, this could get messy.
Amelia hasitated a bit, but then Zel put his hand on her shoulder.
Zel: Don't worry.
She ran to help the injured people get to the gate.
Zel: What's your plan?
Na: Get ready for your strongest defending spell.
Na walked a bit front, held his hands in the air and closed his eyes. Wind started to blow around him, and he started chanting.
Na: Darkness from twilight...
Zel: -in a frightened voice- D...Dragon Slave!
Jack: That doesn't sound like a good thing.
Zel: get behind me!
Na: ...Crimson from blood that flows...
By now the wind grew pretty strong.
Na: ...Buried in the flow of time...
A crimson ball formed in his hands, then he opened his eyes.
Na: -louder- ...In Thy great name, I pledge myself into darkness!...
Sam: This is NOT good.
Na: ...Those who oppose us, shall be destroyed, by the power you and I posess... DRAGON SLAVE!
He streched his hands into the air and the ball shot out into a ray. The forming power was so great, it shot the ground under Na a bit away. The Burst of energy hit the ship and exploded. The shockwave hit the ground destroying half of the camp, but luckily Zel cast a windy shield to protect SG-1. The ship flew into tiny shreads, and flaming pieces of metal fell from the sky.
Na fell to his knees really exhsausted, but after a few seconds he got up, turned to the group and showed a victory sign with his right hand.
Na: Told 'ya I had a plan.
Zel::sweatdrop: Where did you learn that?
Na: Lina visited Amelia a few times, and I asked her to teach me it.
Zel: And she just did it?
Na: I had to invite her for dinner.
Zel::sweatdrop: You poor thing.
The whole SG-1 team was technically in shock. Jack was first to snap out of it and break the silence.
Jack: You mean, you learned THAT for a dinner invitation!
Na: You don't know Lina. After eating everything on the menu three times, she asked the waitress, what's the main course.
Jack sweatdropped. She must be... ummm... big.
Zel: She's actually about a metre fifty and a bit... flat.
/--------------------------------------
Meanwhile somewhere in the slayers universe, between a few piles of dishes, A blond swordsman is eat-fighting with the said sorceress. Then The red-head sneezed.
Lina: Aw, man. Somebody must be talking about me.
Lina: Hey Gourry! That's MINE!
With that she threw her fork infront of Gourry, so that it clieved into the table.
Gourry::sweatdrop: Umm... you stopped eating it.
/--------------------------------------
-back at the camp-
Na: Sorry 'bout the damage. This was the first time I used this spell.
Daniel: Just when you get used to aliens, space-ships, armageddon after armageddon, something like this happens.
Jack: And I thought my reports couldn't get anymore crazy.
After a damage report, and picking together the equipment what survived the 'incident' the SG team packed to leave the planet.
Zel: Can we go with you?
Jack: What?
Zel: If we try to get back home, then we should be be on the same planet we started, ne?
Dan: You have a point there.
Jack: Just no flow break's, okay?
Na::sweatdrop: I already told you, I'm sorry!
Amelia: -with a fist in the air- Justice was victorius once again!
Everyone except Ame sweatrdoppes.
Nagori: Let's go home.
So they activated the stargate. After SG-1, Zel-tachi crossed the gate. On the other side, in the gate room, a few soldiers with machine guns 'welcomed' the arrivers.
Na: -with a smile- A dowmo.
Jack: What did you call them?
Dan::sweatdrop: That's a polite hello, in japanese.
Jack: Oh.
Just, when he said that, the amulett on Na's neck started glowing. Every soldier jumped around Na and held their machine-guns to his head.
Na::sweatdrop: It wasn't me!
Jacked waved his hand and the soldies backed away.
Zel: I think it's ready for another wish.
Amelia: -with big eyes- You mean, we can go home?
Zel: I hope so.
The three walked next to eachother, leaving distance between everyone.
Na: I think it's time to say goodbye.
Jack: Sayonara.
Dan: You know japanese?
Jack: No, but I saw Taxi 3.
Dan sweatdroppes.
Ame was waiving to the team, Zel only nodded and Na was getting ready. He put his hand on the amulett and made his wish.
Na: -in a low voice- Please, let it work.
With that they disappeared with a flash of light.
After a few seconds of silent stairing.
Jack: So... what's for dinner?
/--------------------------------------
Xellos: Oh yeah! Death ALL the way.
KK: If you like it then it didn't went so well.
Xel: You mean I have a bad taste?
KK: Yep.
Xel::Growl:
/--------------------------------------
Our little trio went trough another thrilling ride. They all appeared in thin air, a few metres above the ground.
Na: -in the air- Not good!
He almost couldn't finish his sentence because he fell and hit the ground, with head on as usual. Zel grabbed Ame while they were in the air and they landed softly. Zel started survailing the new area, but stopped when he heard a loud scream. It was than, when they realised where they were.
Zel: A hot water bath!
The place was simple. Rocks surrounding the natural hot water source. The scream came from a frightened girl in the water. Than another girl ran to her with a large boomerang.
the girl with the boomerang: Who are you and what do you want!
Zel::sweatdrop: Sorry! BYE!
With that, he grabbed Amelia's hand an Na's leg and ran like hell. After all the raquet, a long white haired guy ran to the girls.
white haired guy: What happened? Is it a demon?
The girl in the water got a bit embarresed, not to mention angry.
girl: INUYASHA! SIT!
With that, the guy was technically bashed into the ground unconsciously by a magical force.
/--------------------------------------
After running a few miles Zel stopped to breathe. He turned around and sweatdropped at the sight. Nagori was covered with sticks an leaves that he got while he was dragged along. He shrugged and got loose from them.
Na: What happened?
Amelia: You don't want to know.
Na: Oh... okay.
Amelia: This looks somewhat like home, doesn't it?
Zel: Well... there were no aliens with energy weapons. That's good for a start.
Amelia: By the way, how will we know we're home?
Zel: We'll search for something, that only exists in our world.
Na: Let's ask that guy.
Zel&Ame tuned to na:
Zel&Ame: Who?
Nagori walked to a figure who's walking down a path slowly a few metres from them. It was a guy with long silver hair, old clothing, a shoulderguard made from metal with latrge spikes on it and he wore white fur over his right shoulder. He looked like he's from a high ranked family.
Na: Excuse me. Can you help us? You just have to answer to a few questions.
He got no answer, and the guy hadn't even stopped or looked at him.
Na: ...Well... do you know something about the Lord of Nightmares, Shabranigdu, Ciefied, Seiruun, Fibrizzo or the Kouma-Sensou?
Still no reaction. The guy passed by Na and after a few seconds Na cast a Ray Wing spell and flew infront of him.
Na: -with crossed hands, while levitating- You know you're not wery helpful.
The guy stopped and took a look at his 'obstakle'.
The guy: -with a monotone voice- You are... a demon?
Na: No, just a plain sorcerer.
The guy: -with a bit widened eyes- Interesting.
Na: I'm Nagori Cerius, and you are...
The guy raised his right hand and straightened his fingers so, that Na could see his claws. Then he rolled it into a fist. It made a crackling sound. Then he looked into Na's eyes.
The guy: Sehsomaru.
Nagori gulped and disappeared. He rematerialised next to Ame&Zel.
Zel: -startled- HOW'D YOU DO THAT!
Na: Do what?
Zel::sweatdrop: Nevermind.
Ame: Did he tell you something.
Na: Yeah, his name. He wasn't a big help, and I don't think he was human.
Zel: Let's get some sleep, and we'll search for some info tomorrow. I'll take first watch.
-after a few minutes-
Na and Ame were lieing on the ground, but Na was the only one who could sleep. Zel was gazing at the stars just above the horizon. His thoughts were more further than his eyes were, but he still had his concentration on the surrounding area.
Zel: -in thought- I should of stopped her when I had the chance... This is way too dangerous for her... Please no more hostiles.
While this, Amelia was thinking of the way they got into this mess.
Amelia: -also in thought- He blushed when he held me... Does that mean he really cares about me, or was he just ambarresed...
She slowly put her hand over her heart. It was beating faster.
Amelia: -still in thought- If only he showed me a sign...
Zel sensed that Amelia wasn't asleep. He moved his head to the petite princess, gathered all his power and inhaled. He tried to say something, but he stopped and shook his head.
Zelgadiss: -in thought- I...can't. Not like this. Not as a... a monster.
He let his breath out, and redirected his thoughts and his eyes back into the infinith night.
/--------------------------------------
The morning came slowly to the little clearing where Zel-tachi was sleeping. Though thats not really true since Zel was up all night. He couldn't wake Na up and he surely didn't want to wake Amelia, so he played the one-man-guard. He stood up and streched his hands high up to loosen his muscles. Then suddenly, he sensed something coming towards them.
Zel: AMELIA, NAGORI WAKE UP!
Amelia sit up and shook her head to clear it.
Ame: -still half asleep- What's wrong?
Zel: We have company.
She quicly woke up, jumped up and ran to Na.
Zel: Wake him up.
Ame::sweatdrop: That's not that easy.
She started shaking a really deeply sleeping Na.
Ame: Nagori-san WAKE UP!
Na: -mumbling- Five.
Ame: What?
Na: Just five more minutes...
Ame&Zel sweatdroppes. Than Amelia starts to think, and it looks like she got a really good idea.
Ame: Shilfiel-san's in danger!
After that, Nagori jumps up and starts to cast a fireball, but stops when he sees where he is.
Na: What happened.
Zel: Get ready, something stong is on it's way.
Na: I feel it too.
Ame: Me too!
They had to stop their conversation, because a small group of travellers found them. It was the group of Inuyasha. Everyone was analyzing the other, than Zel broke the silence.
Zel: -to Ame- Is that the girl from...
Ame: And the other one with the boomerang.
Kagome: Those were the people who were spying on me yesterday!
Zel: We werent spying on anyone!
Inuyasha didn't even bother, he took a few steps forward and redied his claws.
Inuyasha: Let me take care of them.
Zel: Stop there, deamon.
Inuyasha: You're the one speaking!
And he charged the trio. He tried to tear a hole in Zel with his claws, but he only scratched his clothes. Then Zel pulled out his sword and slashed, but the dog-deamon was faster than Zel's sword, and he jumped back. But Na wasn't lazy either, he streched his hands and pointed at Inuyasha.
Na: ... BOMB DI WIND!
The ball of air hit him and exploded. The shockwave threw him to a tree. And like he didn't even felt it, he charged Na. He blocked Inuyasha's claws with his wrist armor and grabbed his hands.
Na: ...MONO VOLT!
Sparks flew from the half-demon and he fell to the ground. Na quicly put his hand on Inuyasha's chest...
Na: ...RAY FREEZE!
And the half-demon was rendered incapable of any movement. Than Na stood up and turned to Zel.
Na What's going on? What did you guys do last night?
Zel: Nothing. We just appeared in the wrong place, that's all.
Kagome: Inuyasha!
Na: Don't worry, he's alright.
Amelia: It's unjust to accuse someone, who's really innocent!
Zel: What she's trying to tell, is, that it was an accident. We can't control where we appear.
Miroku: Are they the one with the Shikon no tama shard?
Kagome: No, but it's somewhere near though.
Na: They aren't the ones with that wierd aura.
Zel: It's coming closer.
Kagome: The Shikon shard is almost here!
The two groups started looking in a direction, where trees are falling aside.
Na: Now this is definately not good.
He quicly dismisses the spell cast on Inuyasha. Than a quite large deamon with a spider like under half and a crab like upper half rushes out from the woods.
The demon turned to the half-demon and raised its scissors.
the demon: In the name of lord Naraku, I'll destroy you... Inuyasha.
Na: -a bit on the frustrated side- First, I was almost eaten by a giant bug, then we were nearly crushed by a few tonns of rocks, after that we had to fight trough an army of aliens and spaceships... and now everyone's trying to tear a hole into me and my friends... And you know what... I REALLY HAD IT!
He raised his hands, and chanted something just under breath...
Na: ...DYNAST BREATH!
The demon, and half of the landscape, was frozen in a big block of ice, then it shattered breaking the demon in pieces. Inuyasha and his group, and even Ame&Zel watched in amazement, then Na turned to the dog-deamon.
Na: You still want to fight?
Inuyasha slightly shook his head.
Inuyasha: -in thought- He just destroyed a Shikon-strengthened minion of Naraku without breaking a sweat.
Kagome ran to the ice pieces, and after a bit of searching, she found a few pieces of the Shikon no tama.
Zel: Nagori... where did you learn such powerful spells?
Nagori's stomach started growling.
Na: I'll tell you at breakfast. I used a lot of strong spells and hadn't eaten, and that's not a good combination.
/--------------------------------------
So the two groups joined forces to defeat one of the strongest enemies of every being... hunger. They all walked to a nearby stream to catch a big pack of fishes. They were sitting around a fire wich Amelia made with a weak fire spell.
Zel: So... again, where did you learn these spells?
Na: You know, my job is to tranlate stuff. And I work in Seiruun, wich is one of the best equipped cities in the world, when it comes to old writings. Most of them went trough me, and I had some time to read and learn them.
After the conversation, they all introduced themselves.
Amelia: I'm Amelia wil tesla Seiruun, and a warrior of justice!
Everyone except Ame sweatdroppes.
Na: I'm Nagori Cerius, sorcerer, archeologist and a specialist in old languages.
Zel: Zelgadiss Greywords, and... ummm, swordsman.
Na: And chimeara.
Ame: And sorcerer.
Na: And grumpy!
Ame: That wasn't very nice Nagori-san!
Na: It wasn't very nice of him to drag me for three miles in the woods either!
Kagome: I'm Kagome, and... I come from the future, and I'm good with the bow.
Sango: Name's Sango, and I'm a demon huntress.
Miroku: I'm Miroku the priest.
Inuyasha: I'm Inuyasha, and just don't get in my way.
Shippo: I'm Shippo the kitsune-demon
Amelia: He's so kawaii!
And she grabbed the little fox and gave it a good old Amelia-hug.
Na::sweatdrop: Let the poor thig have some air.
Shippo: Hey! I'm not a plush-toy!
Just then a scream came form the forest they just left behind. As usual Amelia jumped up and ran to 'Serve justice'. Na and Inuyasha ran after her.
As they arrived, they could see a girl surrounded by a few demonic bugs.
Na: Not bugs again!
Amelia: Stop! In the name of justice!
No reaction. The demons got more near to the girl. Than Inuyasha dashed in, grabbed the girl and jumped high up.
Amelia: Now... FIRE BALL!
The ball exploded in the middle of the demonic bug group and sent them flying into pieces. Although most of them incinerated, a big dose of bug-slime hit Ame&Na.
Ame: EWWWW!
Na: -after getting some slime off of his face- Next time... freeze them, than the explosion.
Amelia giggled.
Ame: I think we need a bath.
/--------------------------------------
Now that that's over, another enlightenment, this time for those who doesn't know Inuyasha.
Inuyasha: With a really fantasyfull name: dog-demon, and he's what his name tells you. Always wears a red old japanese outfit, has long white hair and big claws. He also has a sword with he could kill a hundred demons with one strike, Teassaiga. Another interesting thing is, his necklace. It's enchanted, that means, he can't get it off, and if Kagome says sit, then... he sits.(a magical force POUNDS him into the ground)
Kagome: A normal 20th century school girl transported to the past. Has an ability to kill demons with bows.
Sango: Demon huntress with a demonic cat.
Miroku: Priest, play-boy, powerful fighter and he has something like a black hole in his right hand called the wind hole.
Shippo: Normal kitsune-demon child. (And really kawaii)
Naraku: Very, very big and very, very evil. Known for its form changing and manipulating tricks.
Shikon no tama: The jewel of four souls... it has the power to imbue a demon with immortality and it boosts its powers too. It also could be used to turn a half-demon into a human.
KK: And that concludes our Inuyasha lesson for today.
Xel: I like it when people go boom.
KK: Then it's bad news for you. The next few chapters will mainly give Zel some sample of what real sadness means, and he really will think his feelings trough.
Xel: Well, you can't win 'em all...
KK: I expected more than mere capitulation from you.
