Chapter 10
-----
The Slayers and the Lost universe gang are ready to fight their most hateful and dangerous enemy ever. Gourry Gabrieve. To the Slayers gang he was a very good friend, a great swordsmen, but a little naïve, still a very good friend. None of them knew what to do.
Gourry just stand there looking at them all with his evil grin and his demoniacal eyes. "Well now, here they are all, my enemies in front me, like sheep going to the wolf. Who shall I kill first?"
"Be careful!" warned Kain to the gang, he knew that Gourry's deciding who to kill first. Zel unleashed his sword, Amelia was ready to cast a spell and Millie pointed her gun at Gourry, has for Lina, she just stare at him, still not believing how cruel Gourry has become. All of this because of her.
Suddenly Gourry points his finger at them. "My choice is made." And a little light came out of his finger.
"AAAARGH! " Millie cried in pain. She got hit in her shoulder.
"Millie!" Cried Kain as he ran to Millie. Amelia followed ready to cast a healing spell on Millie.
Zel looked at Millie who had landed on the ground with an injured shoulder, and blood running down her shoulder, then turn his look back at the evil Gourry. "How did he do that? How did he launch that spell at Millie without me seeing it? The only thing I saw was a little light coming out of his finger! Damn, he really has become more powerful than Shabrimingo!"
"Damn, I miss." Laughed Gourry.
"Millie, are you ok?" Kain asked very worried.
Millie opens her eye to Kain. "I'm Ok, Kain……he just hit me in the shoulder." Millie managed to Say very weakly.
"I'll take care of her." Amelia said. "I'm cast a healing spell on her!"
"Thanks Ametiry!"
"IT'S AMELIA!"
Kain ignored her, he just stands up and walks directly to Gourry, releasing the Blade of his Psycho Sword, Zel joined him, putting the Astral Vine on his sword.
"Two against one, I'm in trouble now." Gourry taunted . Then reached for his pocket, every one was expecting him to put out his Sword of Light, but he surprised every one when he put out his own Psycho sword.
"What?" Zel was defiantly confuse. "What happened to your Sword of Light, Gourry?"
"That worthless thing?" laughed Gourry "I dispose of it, it was a very pathetic and weak instrument, besides, I have an incredible power, so big that I didn't need that junk."
Lina was once again surprised by Gourrys action. He always treasured that sword, always saying that it is a family treasure. damn, he never even let her use the sword, only in occasions when they were in trouble and she was the only one who could get us out of it by using the sword. "You have changed a lot Gourry, so much that it's hard for me to believe that you are the same man I knew!"
Gourry turns his looks to Lina with his evil grin. "Your right, I changed."
Kain took that opportunity to try to slash Gourry in haft.
But he blocked his attack. "Stupid fool!"
"AARG!" cried Kain in pain as Gourry punched him in the stomach, making him hit the wall.
"Good bye, Mr. Blueriver!" Gourry was about ready to kill Kain, when Zel interfered.
"GARV FLARE!" the spell almost hit Gourry, but he managed to escape somehow, but he was still a little disorientated, Zel took that advantage to attack Gourry. "Gotcha!"
BRASH
Zel could not believe it, Gourry is still disorientated, but he managed to block his attack with his sword, with his eyes closed.
"Is that your best, Zel?" mocked Gourry.
Zel tries up more sword attacks, but they were all blocked by Gourrys sword, and he still had his eyes closed. "Poor Zelgadiss Greywords."
Gourry kicked Zel in the face, making him hit the roof, but before he could hit the ground he grabbed him by the neck.
"Damn it!" cursed Zel trying to break free from Gourry grasp.
"It is useless Zel, but before you die, I want you to remember something, something that explains why you lost your fight against me. I was a much better swordsman than you before I met you and the others, I was a much better swordsmen than you while I was with you and the others, I'm still a much better swordsman than you. Good bye!"
"ELMIKIA LANCE!" cried Amelia.
The spell hit Gourry in the face, it wasn't strong enough to kill him, but it was strong enough to make him release Zel.
"That I enough!" yelled Amelia, pointing a finger at Gourry.
"Well now, is the Justice, pain in the butt, princess going to fight the mean old General of the Horde?" mocked Gourry.
"Gourry Gabrieve, there are many people that would give anything to obtain power, but you have sacrificed your friends, killing innocent people, and worst of all, you destroyed Lina's trust, for it!"
"Yes, yes, I know that, every one knows that."
"THAT is unforgivable! Destroying a beautiful friendship all because of your selfish matters! But I Amelia Will Tel……"Amelia was interrupted when she notice that Gourry was ignoring her, and rubbing his chin. "LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING!"
"You know" Gourry finally looks at her with a despicable grin. "This sounds very familiar, I heard that phrase somewhere, let me think. Oh yes, now I remember. Those where exactly the words your father used, before he die."
"My father?" Amelia gasped. The news of her fathers dead hit her like a knife.
"Yes, and let me tell you a little secret. I killed that worthless father of yours!"
"What?" Amelia landed on her knees. She has already lost her mother and sister, she was betrayed by her uncle and cousin, and now she lost her father, the man she admired the most, by the one she considered one of her most dearest friends, Amelia could not hold her tears no longer. "That's not true! THAT'S NOT TRUE!"
Gourry didn't waste anymore time and punched Amelia in the face, making her hit against the wall, violently.
Amelia could feel like her body was almost broken. She never remembers of being treated like this since her fight with Garv and Copy Rezo.
"Damn you Gourry!" yelled Zel. "Weren't you the one who complained about Copy Rezo hitting on girls?"
"So I changed my policy, sue me." Gourry mocked. "But you are lucky, you can watch Amelia die."
"NO! STOP!"
Gourry ignored him, and started to cast a spell, once again black aura surrounding his body.
"Please, Gourry! Don't do this" begged Lina. "She is your friend!"
But Gourry didn't listen and launched the dark blast at Amelia.
"NO!" Zel putted him self in front of Amelia and took the blast instead. "AAARGH!"
"Zelgadiss!" cried Amelia as she saw Zel taking the blast for her.
Has amazing has it seems, Zelgadiss was still on his feet, his clouts nearly shredded.
"Mr. Zelgadiss?" whispered Amelia.
"I'm…….I'm ok, Amelia!" Zel managed to say before he collapsed on the ground.
"Mr. Zelgadiss!" Cried Amelia as she crawled to him, even with all her injuries. But it is too late. Zelgadiss Greywords, is dead.
"Damn you!" Cried Millie as she shouted her gun at Gourry
But Gourry has activated his force field. "I thought that I have already killed you! Oh yes, Amelia cast a healing spell on you."
Lina could not believe that this is happening to her. Her friends are being destroyed by the one man she was about to sacrifice herself for. She had created a monster. She hasn't helped anyone because of the felling she has for the blond swordsman. "This can not be happening!" said Lina as she landed by her knees.
"But it is happening!" Snapped Kain as he grabbed Lina by her hair. "Look! One of your friends is dead! Must Gabriev continue to kill everyone until you decide to do something?"
"But……but ……I can't fight him………"
Kain was disgusted by her answer that he throws her away. "To think that you are consider a legend. Get Lost! You make me sick!"
Lina didn't want to be considering a legend, not if it means that she must kill the man she loves.
Millie was already landed on the ground because of the punches that Gourry gave her.
"Now , you die for sure!" Gourry was about ready to kill Millie, when Kain putted himself in front of her.
"Not so fast! You and I have some unfinished business to attend to!"
Gourry only smiled coldly at Kain's reaction. "You weak, idiotic fool! You will die, mortal!"
"The weak don't make History!" yelled Kain has he charged at Gourry, but with one swing, Gourry disarmed Kain.
"What! It can't be it's………AAARGH!" Kain was interrupted when Gourry shouted a beem at his shoulder.
"How pathetic, Mr Blueriver. Being murdered by the same man that killed your grandmother!" mocked Gourry very coldly pointing his finger at Kain.
"Damn you!"
"GOURRY!" shouted another voice, this time it was Lina Inverse. She just could not go on watching her friends being killed like this. This madness must stop.
Gourry just smirked. "Just a little patience Lina Inverse! As soon as I kill this fool, I'll take care of you!"
"NO GOURRY! Your revenge is with me! It's me you want!"
Gourry just looked at Lina for a moment, them he smirked again. "Very well, I was hoping on saving you for last. But it's your funeral." This is it, the real moment of true.
Amelia continues to crawl to Zel's lifeless body, she's been beaten up badly but she didn't care she had to go to Zel, she had to. "Z-Zel……please don't die……please……"
"I'm Ok Amelia……I'm Ok!" Zel managed to say. Once again the cursed body Rezo gave him had save him from death, but still he couldn't move, Gourry's attack was so strong that Zel just couldn't move.
"I'm casting a healing spell on you……"
"No………Amelia……save your power" But Amelia didn't listen, she continued to crawl to help him
-----
There they were, once the best dynamic duo the world has ever seen, but now the deadliest of enemies. Lina couldn't face that fact. She starts to understand how Eris must have felt when Copy Rezo betrayed her and end up killing her, but in Lina's case it's different, she always treated Gourry so bad, she never understood why she always did that, maybe she's the stupid one. "Gourry…….before we start, I must know something!" Lina was afraid to ask this question, but she must know "Is it true that….you killed every one? Did you kill all our friends?"
"But of course" that was Gourry's simple and cold response.
"But why?" Lina could not believe, Syphiel, Martina and the others all dead, by Gourry, but why. His revenge was with her. "Phil, Zangulos, Martina………everyone dead, but why Gourry Why?"
"You know, you started to sound like that cry baby Syphiel before I rip her heart of." Gourry said with an evil grin, felling proud of what he did.
"What?" Lina could not believe in this one. Gourry killed Syphiel. Of all persons she was the one who never treated Gourry like a fool, still he kill her. Lina started to feel her blood burning in anger. Even with the rivalry between her and Syphiel, Lina respected very much that girl. She saw her city being destroyed and all the ones she loves were killed by Copy Rezo, and even had the courage to help Lina defeat Pibrizio. How could Gourry kill some one like Syphiel. "How could you Gourry? You killed all our friends, and you just content your self by killing innocent people….."
"Innocents?" interrupted Gourry "There aren't innocent in the universe, they are all guilty of what they have done to me!"
"What?" asked Lina, confuse. "What are you talking about Gourry?"
"People have always treated me like an idiot, a brainless buffoon. HUMP, they even got me a nick name The idiot Swordman´, JELLYFISH´!" Gourry started to shake when he remembers those times "I never got any respect, NEVER"
"That's a lie!" snapped Lina
"A LIE? You know very well that no one ever respected me, not you, not Zel, not Amelia, not every one! I still remember when I said that I always knew that Xellos was a Mazoku, or when ever I said something smart, you guys were always amazed, like if I was some child that just said his first word! Damn It, I'm not……..I was not that STUPID! Tell me something Lina, do you remember that time when you forced me to dress has a girl for the first time, we have faced a Sea Dragon, who is the one that had the brilliant idea of how to defeat the Sea Dragon?"
Of course Lina remembers that time, it was one of the most humours moment of her life, but she's in no move to laugh. And it's true, Gourry was the one who had the idea of how to defeat that Sea Dragon, but she never gave him credit for that. "It…….it, was you, Gourry……."
"You SEE! I risked my life a hundred times, helped save this world, but I never got any respect, not from you, not from my so called friends, not from anyone!" Gourry closed his eyes heavily, remembering all the disrespect he had in his past life, them opens them again. "All I ever wanted was respect, but I never got any. My patience reached his limits, and I turn myself to the darkness, and when Master Bastion gave me power, I use it to make people fear me, It was more enjoyable." this last remark, Gourry finished with a grin.
Lina looked at Gourry in shock; she never imagined the pain in his heart was this big. Could it be true? Did we all disrespected Gourry? She was shaking but she looks up at Gourry. "Gourry………..do you think I don't know how you feel?"
For the very first time in a long time Gourry was confused "What do you mean?"
Lina took a deep breath "All my life, I've been insulted about being uncute, of being flat chest, and all that. In Zelpilia, every one compared me with Luna, always insulting me about my figure. And before I meet you I used to travel with a woman who……..who………I hate to admit it but she had a much better figure than me. But the worst part of all is when those comments came from you! I once remembered you telling me to have more consideration for your feelings. But did you ever considered MY feelings? You keep on and on, calling me Flatchest! Why can't you see me as a woman?" Lina could start to feel tears coming out of her eyes, but she could not help it, Gourry has released all his pain on her, so now she is releasing her pain on him. "So don't act like I don't understand how you feel, because I do, more than you can imagine. And you are wrong Gourry, you are wrong when you said that nobody respected you. I do respect you!"
"What?" this one has made Gourry laugh like a maniac. "You? Respect me? That is a million LAUGHT!"
"It is true!" Lina snapped.
"All right, then name me times when you show to every one that you respected´ me!" challenged Gourry.
Of course Lina took that challenge, she never backed away from a challenge before and she will defiantly not back away from a challenge from Gourry. "Very well! Do you remember your last fight with Zangulos? Syphiel and the others were about to interfere, but I didn't let them, because I respected your fighters pride, and I knew you wanted to finished this your own way………So tell me Gourry, what was that?"
Gourry looked at Lina, amazed, with his eyes wide open, he remembers that incident, could be that everything that Lina said was true? "Shut up! DIE!"
Gourry throw a punch at Lina. POW. Even with all the impact of that punch, Lina keep her ground. "You Know what it was, Gourry, in your heart you know that!"
"THAT'S NOT TRUE!"
"Remember when Martina put a curse on me? She then insulted you because you didn't know what Fiancé meant. And what was my first reaction Gourry?"
Gourry was frozen when he remembered that time. It was one of those times when he was insulted, but Lina……Lina……
"I was ready to beat the crap out of Martina!" continued Lina feeling that she is wining over Gourry. "I didn't care if I was cursed or not, I could not let Martina insult you! So tell me Gourry, what was all that?"
"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!" Gourry punched Lina in the stomach, making Lina land in one knee.
But even if she is hurt, Lina continued.
"Remember when Pibrizio kidnapped you Gourry?" this one has made Gourry froze again, he remembers it, he remembers it very well "He was about to kill you so I cast the Giga Slave to save you, I didn't even care if I was going to destroy the world or destroy myself, all I wanted was to save you! Tell me Gourry what was that? What were all these things?"
Gourry backed away as he remembers all that, in his mind the words on the Lord of Nightmares still echoed in his mind She sacrificed herself and all she was, to save the life of that man!´. Gourry covered his face with his hand and screamed, he's so confuse, and Lina notice that, but he amazed her when he try to run away, but she jumped in the air and landed right in front of him.
The look he has on his face, he was afraid and confuse.
Kain, still hurt was amazed, he never saw Gourry being afraid of any one, can it be that Lina could defeat him?
Lina still looked at Gourry, he was shaking. "Take a good look at me Gourry! And tell me …….. What were all those things?" Lina was shaking as well, maybe is because she is releasing all the stress she had held in her heart all this time.
Gourry looked at her, and for the first time in his dark life, he's crying. "Re-re-respect………"
"Yes"
Kain was amazed again. Gourry is crying? Did this monster cry?
Gourry lands on his knees, looking ashamedly at his hands, to his killer hands, letting his tears hit the ground. "Oh no………What have I done?"
Lina smiles, a weak smile. Gourry is back, the Gourry she knows and loves is back. So she walks to him, to try to calm him down. "It's ok Gourry…….it's ok."
But suddenly, a dark aura was all around him once again, and Gourry grabbs Lina by her neck.
"G-Goury" Lina was gasping for air. What happened? Gourry was just coming back to his usual self. Now he is trying to kill her again.
"I've waited for this moment for a long time! I will not rest until I kill you Lina Inverse!"
"Gourry…………..please…………"
