Chapter 4: What is Going on Here?
"Someone put a spell on me! Show yourself!" Lina called out.
Out of the shadows stepped four figures. One big muscled guy, two scantily clad women, and a very refined looking man.
"Who are you?" Lina asked as she broke the spell and cast a magic barrier on herself to prevent any more magic from attacking her. She could sense Amelia and Zel do the same thing.
"We will not let you hurt Carrot. I am the only one who can do that." Tira said in her lower, more seductive voice.
"I suggest you stay out of this. Tira, do it." Marron responded as they all faced off.
Lina shuddered when she heard the high-pitched laugh. "Man, it's not as bad as Naga, but it's close."
They all looked up and watched with wide eyes as the huge monster looked afraid and Tira whipped him back down to normal.
Gourry had recovered and had come back over by Lina, and he made the comment, "And I thought Lina was violent."
For that he got pounded into the ground with a knock to the head.
"He never learns, does he Mr. Zelgadis?" Amelia said to the chimera standing next to her.
"Nope." Zel responded shaking his head.
At that time, Lina felt the dark sensation that indicated a certain Mazoku was close by. "Xellos! Come out now! I know you're there!"
Xellos phased in and said, "My, My, I thought Filia and Lina were bad, but this lady seems even more vindictive."
Lina bopped him over his head and Filia whacked him with mace-sama as she approached. The Sorcerer hunters watched this exchange with amusement seeing as Tira had finished her job and Carrot was lying on the ground, still in much pain.
"Anyways, it seems as if I have come at a bad time. You seem kind of busy right now Lina. I'll come back later." Xellos said and was about to fade out when Lina grabbed him around the neck.
She said, "You're not going anywhere! I know you came for a reason and I am not going to let you phase out until you tell me why!"
"Oh well, I suppose I could hang around for a bit." Xellos said as he phased up onto a tree branch.
Lina turned to the people facing them and said, "Who are you people? I don't take kindly to those who attack me!"
"We have been sent to clean up the trash, evil sorcerers." Gateau said as he faced them.
*********************************************************************
"Evil!? Us!? The only evil one here is Xellos over there. That filthy Mazoku." Filia said as her tail popped out, seeing as she was beginning to become angry.
Xellos amusedly said, "Why thank you Filia, I appreciate the comment. I certainly am evil, aren't I? I must be, given my position."
"XELLOS! Stop bragging about your position in the hierarchy of evil. You are nothing more than namogami!" Filia shouted out, shaking with anger.
His eyebrow twitched and he came back with, "Well at least I'm not some stupid reptile who is completely useless!"
This sent Filia over the edge and she transformed into a golden dragon in front of everyone and began chasing after Xellos, destroying part of the nearby town that they had just tried so hard to save from Zoenthropey.
The slayers gang all sweatdropped, but decided to leave Filia and Xellos to their own devices. They turned back to the sorcerer hunters and Amelia said, "How dare you call us, true heroes of justice, evil? To make such a claim leads me to believe that you are the ones who are evil!"
"Tell us why you have come here, and maybe we won't have to destroy you." Chocolate said as she readied her razor wire.
"Why don't you tell us why you are so against sorcerers, considering the one over there is a sorcerer himself." Lina challenged them.
"We do not have to reveal that to you," Chocolate said in her dangerous voice
"We only hunt and destroy evil sorcerers and from what I've seen you seem to fall into that category." Gateau said as faced Gourry, who seemed to be the only one not able to use magic.
"Lina? What's going on here? Are they bad guys or not?" Gourry said, asking one of his favorite questions.
"I don't know yet Jellyfish for brains!" Was the response he received.
"I have a question for you." Marron stated. "How is it you use that spell, it has been lost for thousands of years. Besides that, it is forbidden, which is why we must seal your powers."
"What!? The Dragon Slave? It hasn't been lost. Where I come from, it's fairly common. That's not even my strongest! And what do you mean, seal my powers?" Lina said, taken aback at the information.
"What?" Marron asked.
"Where the hell is this place anyway? What is with all this forbidden magic crap?" Lina asked as she quivered with anger.
Everyone was incredibly confused when they were forced to jump out of the way as one of Filia's laser breaths hit the ground where they were.
"Is she attacking us?" Carrot asked as he was pulled out of the way by Chocolate.
"What's with those two? I thought Carrot was the only human who transformed into a monster." Chocolate said as she set Carrot down.
"Monster!? Filia!? She's a golden dragon! She's a priestess of the Fire Dragon King! She's one of those closest to the gods!" Amelia said as the concept of Filia being a monster didn't quite fit within her mental scheme.
"How is a dragon closest to the gods? I thought Momma was the one closest to God." Tira trailed off, completely confused about what was going on.
"The only monster around here is Xellos." Lina said to everyone, and then turned to Filia and Xellos to shout. "Will you two stop playing around!? If you don't I'll dragon slave both of you into low orbit!!"
Filia finally transformed back to a human and Xellos happily popped back up on the tree branch sipping tea.
"It's about time," Gourry said, glad that the fight between those two was over for a few minutes.
"Filia, you really have to learn to control that." Zelgadis said to her as she came back over, blushing at her loss of control.
"Okay, you people. I want answers. We are not out to destroy anything or hurt anyone other than monsters or bandits. We just want to figure out where we are and how to get back home." Lina said as she turned to them.
Carrot finally spoke up again, "You know, I like a powerful woman."
Lina was going to fireball him, but then she remembered what happened last time and just hit him over the head.
"Smart thinking." Zel commented to Lina.
The sorcerer hunters relaxed a bit, having decided that these people really didn't seem to mean any harm. Tira spoke up, "Why don't you guys come with us and we'll take you to someone who might be able to tell you how far you are from your home."
Marron sensed that the only evil around came from the man on the tree. He wondered what he was. He moved away and decided to think about it on the way to the Stellar Church. Xellos could tell that the one with the long black hair had sensed what he was and hoped he wouldn't have to get rid of him, seeing as him and his friends seemed almost as amusing as Lina and her friends. Xellos thought, "There seems to be great power concealed within all five of them. This could be an amusing journey."
Lina noticed the expression that meant Xellos was planning on having some fun and glared at him. Xellos noticed this and the grin fell from his face for a moment. He thought, "I hate it when she figures out what I'm up to." With that he phased out before Lina could stop him.
"Forget him for now." Zelgadis said to Lina as he followed the sorcerer hunters. ****************************************************************** So what do you think? Please keep reviewing and let me know!
