Chapter 7

-----

Amelia gazed at the endless night, every were she looked there was nothing stars and darkness, she doesn't like the dark, the dark means evil, and evil were the ones that killed her mother, and it was evil that turn Gourry into a traitor, and its making Lina suffering.

"Could not sleep, Amelia?" asked Zel, who was sharing the room with Amelia.

"No, I can't…… I still can not believe,……we are in the future,……a future with only pain and suffering exists, and evil reins supreme,…… a future witch hopes is nothing but a word……"

"Amelia……"

"All of this because of Gourry, and he was once our good friend, and……and……"

In that moment Zel hugged Amelia from behind, trying to calm her down, because he know that if one of her friends suffers, she suffers as well, she has the heart of an angel.

Amelia by her hand was starting to fell calmer, she didn't know if it was because Zel was hugging her, or giving his support to her.

"I know how it is Amelia……imagine how I felt when Rezo turn me into this? It is never easy, but this is the cold hard reality, and we have no choice but to accept it. There is no other way."

"I know that but, can Miss Lina accept it?"

"I don't know Amelia, I don't know……"

-----

Lina could not sleep as well, her heat was full of sadness, and hate. "I hate you Gourry! I hate you! You betray my trust, you betray me……like my sister……I hate you!"

Deep inside, Lina did not feel hate, it is just her awakening to reality that is making her say this."But why? Why did you do this to me Gourry? don't you remember? We are comrades!"

Lina been asking this, knowing that no one would answer her, but hoping that some how, Gourry could answer her. At the same time, memories come rushing into her head.

Flashback

After two weeks after the defeat of Copy Rezo, Lina has cached a cold, a terrible cold, and Gourry had taken her to the nearest city he could find, but there was no healer for her. So Gourry had to pay for a room in an inn and took care of her, all by himself. He would bring her food to their room, clean her face of all the sweating because of her fever, keeping her company like he always do, even feed her if she ever felt to weak to eat. At night he always stayed awake and on guard, because even he knew how Lina attracts problems, so someone could try to sneak attack her when she was sick and weak. This was one of the times that Lina was amazed by Gourrys chivalry, he may say bad thing about her figure and her temper or have a brain of a rock, but in the rest, he is a perfect gentlemen.

One night, a question pop in Lina's mind, one that she needed an answer. "Gourry?..."

"Yes Lina?"

"Well, ……it is not that I'm ungrateful and all, but why are you doing this, always taking care of me when you know that I can take care of myself. You probably almost didn't eat a thing ever since we got here, so why do you do it? Why do you waste your time taking care of me?"

"Because we are comrades." answered Gourry with one of his usual smiles.

"Comrades?"

"Of course! We helped each other so many times, shared some crazy adventures, fought some monsters like that Sabri-whats-his-name, and copy of I-don't-know, ever since we meet. We are comrades. And comrades take care of each other. You should know that."

"Yes, I do………." Said Lina, but in her mind she secretly happy to see that someone offers to help her, when every one would have chose to back away from her, secretly she is happy to have a guardian angel with her. Gourry was just like her father.

End of flashback

"Gourry was the only one who had patience with me, and never left my side on the battles, and he was……my best friend. But all of the changed when we arrived to the city of Vedras."

Suddenly a knock was heard on Lina's door, interrupting her from her thoughts. "Come in!"

And immediately Kain entered, carrying a cup of tea, and Lina turns around, turning her back on him because she didn't wanted to see this man.

"Tea?" asked Kain, with the tea cup now in one hand.

"No thanks!" answered Lina, very coldly.

Kain let out a deep sight. "Look, I'm sorry about all this……But you must understand that a lot of people suffered fighting the Horde, especially fighting Gourry. Many that have face him ended up dead…… I can not take this anymore, you are our last change to end this carnage that has been going on for millions of years."

Lina finnaly turns to Kain, with a serious look "It seems to me that your hate for Gourry is something very personal. I remember when we were at the temple you said something about him killing some one you cared, but I didn't catch it right."

Kain sighted and looked away "Its true, he killed my grandmother, she was the best psycho blade swords women in the universe, and she was the one who had more guts to fight Gourry…… but he defeated her……and sliced ever part of her body……and now those parts are exposed in his personal museum…… to serve as an example for those who try to oppose him. I hate him……I hate him with every fiber of my body."

Once again Lina was shocked, she was getting so tire of being socked by all the bad things that Gourry's been doing. Gourry also had a grandmother he respected a lot, she never thought that Gourry could be a despicable blooded killer, this is starting to be too much for Lina to know all of this. The man, who was her best friend, is now one of her most dangerous enemies. "Get out! GET OUT!" cried Lina.

After a few moment of silence Kain decided to leave.

-----

Behind Lina's door a mysterious figure has been secretly trying to listen to the conversation between Lina and Kain. And that mysterious figure is……

"Millie!" murmured Canary, but scared the hell of Millie. "You know, it is not polite to listen to the other people conversation!"

"I can't help it!" cried Millie, very low. "I must know what they are talking about! How can he spend so many times in there with that crazy girl? I think he likes her!"

"Take it easy, for crying out loud! You know that Lina is a very old childhood hero of Kain, which is why he is also wears a black headband. Besides, he is only been there for 4 minutes!"

"And that is a long time!" screamed Millie.

"I'll never understand humans!" whispered Canary in a sight.

Just then Kain lefts Lina's room with his hair covering his eyes. Both girls looked at him and managed to see the disappointed look on his face.

"Kain, what's wrong?" asked Millie

"I'm ok Millie." said Kain and then looked at Canary "Canary, set course to Planet Volvia! We will be hiding there for a while."

"Roger!"

Millie looked straightly at Kain. things must be really bad for them going to Planet Volvia.

-----

3 days has passed, with the Horde still not finding Lina. The former Commander Gurrunt has paid with his life (Gourry decapitated him). Gourry was so tire of all this waiting. He's getting so angry that nobody has the guts to say a word to him.

"M-master Gabrieve?" called Xellos trembling with fear. Ever since he was forced to work for The Horde he saw Gourry unleash his anger on many people, all of them ended up dead, the scar that Xellos has on his left eye, reminds him of that every day.

"What do you want Xellos?" demanded Gourry with a fire ball forming in his hand.

Xellos immediately landed on his knees. "Please Master, I just came to inform you that Emperor Bastion wishes to speak with you."

"Very well," Said Gourry a little calmer, and the fireball slowly disappearing. "Move the Ship to the coordinates 3tsrf5, so that we can send a clear transition. Call the new Commander Shatious and tell him to meet us in the communicate room."

"Y-yes, my master!"

-----

Moments later, Gourry, Xellos and the new commander had come to the communication room, witch is a big white silvered rounded room. Once the got in a holographic image appeared, it was the supreme ruler and Master of the Horde, the Demon Bastion. Immediately Gourry, Xellos and the new commander landed respectfully on one knee to their master.

"What is your wish, my master?" asked Gourry very respectfully.

Bastion finally looked at his most trusty member of the Horde. "I have been told that Lina Inverse has returned!"

"It is true my Lord, she has returned and has probably made an alliance with Kain Blueriver. I have sent our men to track her down, but it has been 3 days with no results."

"I see, but I believe that you must have had a very good reason for not telling me that."

"I did not want to annoy you, my lord, with such insignificant things."

"INSIGNIFICANT THINGS!" shouted Bastion, very irritated. "May I remind you that Lina practically almost destroy me if you didn't pass to my side! I do not want her to continuo to live, I want her dead!"

Xellos was amazed this is the very first time that he sees Bastion lose his temper, and he was more amazed that Gourry was calm, considering the fact that Bastion could demand him to be executed.

"But Sir, you know that there is a possibility that Lina can be destroyed, I've already told you about her weakness." Said Gourry with a smirk on his face.

"Yes, yes, I see." Said Bastion with a smirk of his own "I've completely forgot about that. But still I want her head! Instead of trying to find her, make her come to us."

"It shall be done, my master."

After that, Bastions holographic image has disappeared, and all 3 left the room.

"Commander Shatious!" Called Gourry.

"Y-yes my master!" said Shatious respectfully with a little fear in his voice.

"I want you to contact our troops from Sector 452, we are going to invade the planet Zoidst and make it a new base for our crystals."

"Immediately sir, but what will we do with the habitants of that planet? Especially the women and the children?"

"Well, we have more than the enough slaves……So we'll just have to kill every one of them."

"E-e-e-Every one of them?"

"Yes, you can give the word that I don't want anybody alive. I want them all dead!"

"A-absolutely my lord" After that, Shatious removed himself from Gourry's sight to carry on his order. He is always amazed by his cruelty, like he has ice instead of blood in his veins.

"I want you to go with him Xellos, when the planet is conquered, contact me."

"Yes sir." Said Xellos.

"Remember, I don't want any survivor!" After saying that, Gourry returned to his chambers, leaving Xellos alone with his thoughts.

"Damn that Arrogant moron, I should have killed him when I had the chance! I could let him and Lina kill each other. But I know that Gourry can defeat Lina, not that he is stronger that her, not at all, Lina has a power beyond imagination. True, Lina is a human out of the normal, nature has adopted her with an incredible Power. A power that even scares me.…… that is why I was always care to make Lina not noticing it our else she might destroyed the Mazoku race. But it is also true that Lina has a weakness, an idiot swordsman named Gourry Gabrieve. The Hellmaster has understand that when Lina and her friends were fighting Garv. And now Gourry Gabrieve is going to use that weakness to destroy Lina. If Gourry wins I'll be ride of Lina, if Lina wins I'll be ride of Gourry. One way or another I'll end up losing ……Wait, maybe I can use this situation ……If I plan this carefully I can get ride of Lina and Gourry at the same time, and I will be the 2º in command of the Horde, then I will make a new plan to destroy Bastion, and then, I will be the true ruler of the universe." Xellos finally puts on a Mazoku smirk, one that he hasn't used for a long time. "All I have to do is use Lina, again."

-----

The troops from Sector 452 gathered on Gourry's Dead Star, waiting for his order to invade the planet Zoidst. Gourry grinned evilly.

"It is time for sector 452 to know the powers of the Horde, letting them know who is the true ruler of the universe" said Gourry with his army saluting him. "To Planet Zoidst! Kill every one! I don't want a single living soul in that Planet! NOW GO!"

After that, his troops give him one final salute, a marched to their ships, going to planet Zoidst, executing Gourry's orders.

"Yes, the first part of my plan is working perfectly, after my troops destroy all the habitants of that Planet I will set up my trap." Said Gourry mostly to himself, but laughing evilly.

"You can not do this!" said the mysterious voice

Gourry looked around with his evil smirk. He knew exactly who it was. "It's you again, my friend."

"I am not your friend!" yelled the mysterious voice, felling the anger take the best of him. "You can not go around killing innocents for you own pleasure. That's barbaric!"

"What do you expect my friend? I am the strongest so it is my duty to destroy the weaklings that have no purposes in life!"

"You……you are a despicable monster!"

This made Gourry laugh more, and more, felling proud of himself. "Yes, I'm a monster, a demon, a traitor, and I'm proud of it! Because that is what gives me power to destroy and kill, all the ones that opposes me!"

Gourry continued to laugh evilly, and the mysterious voice never spooked again.

To be continue……
