Chapter 3: Questions and Answers
"Hey Xellos. I've got a question." Said Zel.
"What?" was the reply from the monster.
"How come you know about these people from this other world when we have never heard of them?"
"That is a really good question, Zel," said Lina. "Come on, Xellos, tell us. How do you know about these mystery people from some random other world that nobody has ever heard of before except you?"
"There's no point in asking him," Filia had decided to voice her opinion. "He'll just say 'now that is a secret' like he does every other time."
"Come now Filia, that was a mean thing to say," replied Xellos. "You might hurt my feelings."
"Well, would you have told us?" asked Val.
"Uh… Well… you see… There's not enough time to explain before we leave the Astral Plane!" was the answer. It probably would have been more believable if Xellos weren't crouching behind Lina to avoid Filia's mace.
"Are we missing something, or are you all just crazy?" asked Zell, obviously freaked out by the blond woman with pointed ears swinging a huge mace at a priest that never opened his eyes.
"That depends on who ask. If you ask Filia, for example, then Xellos is the one who murdered her people and therefore always wrong-" began Lina.
"Hey! That's not fair! I don't think he is always wrong!" interrupted Filia before she went back to trying to bash Xellos with her mace for withholding information.
"Sure you don't," muttered Zelgadis.
"Actually, she doesn't. She used to, but now she has apparently made peace with her soul and understands that even if he did kill several thousand Golden Dragons with a motion of his finger, he can still be right sometimes. Now she only says he is wrong when she is sure she is right. She has matured far beyond the naive priestess we met fifteen yeas ago," replied Gourry, which stopped everybody while they stared at Gourry in shock.
"Gourry, how did you figure that out?" asked Lina.
"Hey Squall, do you have any food?" asked Gourry, once again stopping everybody; this time, though, it was because they facefaulted about a hundred feet until they figured out that the Astral Plane had no floor.
"Did you hear a word of what I just said?" asked Lina, growing angrier by the minute.
"Huh?" came the highly intelligent reply from the blonde swordsman.
"That's it! FIRE-"
"Okay, here we are! We're going to be leaving soon." Interrupted Xellos once again. "You may feel disoriented because no time has actually passed." Almost as soon as he said that, the Astral Plane just faded away, revealing to the travelers a truly terrifying sight.
A/N: Yes, I know this chapter is crap, but school has been keeping me busy and I know that long wait times suck. I'll update as soon as possible.
