Prove To Me

Chapter 3

The War

Zel could tell Lina was very pissed and he meant very pissed because that was the truth she was. Lina had really changed just one attack one of her friends…Zel shrugged as he guessed Xellos somehow proved to her since he left to go get supplies and fulfilled her price because she was in the war now. That made him even madder, not only did she consider Xellos a friend but something happened that he knew nothing about that made her change her accept Xellos! Zel just wanted to scream this was too much he was already losing, damn it all, it was just his luck and by the look of his look so far it would be just his luck if Lina snapped.

Zel sighed and prayed he wouldn't have to try and stop her if she snapped, keyword there try. He didn't really have a chance in hell of stopping her, because he knew that both of them had become stronger then before they parted ways and Lina had always been stronger then him, so that just meant she was even more stronger then him now.

He sighed, he had to be really jealous of Xellos, and how close he was getting to his Lina…Zel took a step back mentally as he thought that. Lina wasn't anyone's, let alone his, his love that was what she was to him and always will be his love. For he knew that he would never love anymore again, that was if Xellos didn't come in and take her, because Lina was his love, but even if Xellos did take Lina away form him he wouldn't love again.

Zel was in a bind of course, he couldn't do anything to Xellos. One Xellos was more powerful, two Lina would kill him. Right now she needed Xellos and damn did that just kick him in the balls.

And if Zel was right he could tell Xellos was getting attached to Lina and damn it even he could she was getting attached to Xellos. This was wrong, all wrong in every way; he just hoped that Xellos being a Mazoku would mess everything up so he could be with Lina.

Zel and Xellos could feel Lina's hatred, her anger and her rage; they could feel it roll of her skin in waves. Her fists were clenched too, her already ruby eyes were burning more brightly then ever before. Xellos laughed inwardly, this was his little flame, so full of passion in ever emotion she had this just made him love her even more.

They knew that if anyone had come up to them they were dead; Xellos of course would do nothing so Zel had to put up a barrier against intrusion, well humans only. Lina would be pissed at him if he did it for Gods and the Mazoku too.

She stopped and turned on Xellos, "Damn it, I am lost! Where the hell are we going? You," she pointed to Xellos, "are supposed to be leading the way." She held back a little when going off on Xellos because she liked him, well love was a better word that fit; she didn't want to be too meaning…that was yet.

Xellos chuckled, "I thought you knew where you were going my little flame, but if you want I will lead the way, but I had thought that you being a big girl and all could do it all on your own." He whispered in her mind, anything for you. He got the reaction he wanted, she turned away and blushed. None of them saw her blush but Xellos could feel it and laughed.

Zel had no idea what was going on, but seeing Lina turn around he didn't want to know. Xellos the ass probably made her even madder, which was good for him if it put Lina and Xellos at odds, which was when Xellos took that as his turn to disappear so he did, he disappeared from Zel and Lina's sight, which Zel thought was a wise move for Xellos anyway. For Lina to get rid of Xellos Zel knew he had to help her. So after a few minutes to let her calm down and get situated, after those few minutes were up he cautiously approached her.

PPP

Xellos teleported to where his, well his Master's army was stationed, he just lead it by his Master's side. That was when he got an update on everything that had happened. The Gods unfortunately were gaining territory. Xellos cursed, he had to do something, His troops though underlings was the better term for them so his underlings reported to him that half of them were dead, Dolphin's people about sixty percent were destroyed, and Dynast's army seventy were gone. They had only taken out thirty percent of the gods forces.

He cursed again as he shot off commands to his underlings, he would win this war, even if he had to put his flame in danger…he wasn't sure but knew that she would be so mad if he wouldn't let her in to fight. So he would let her fight, but he'd be damned if he let her get hurt…well too hurt she wasn't a child anymore. He knew hell would freeze over before he would let her die.

PPP

Zel approached Lina and sighed, she turned around. She had finally noticed how different he looked then before. It reminded her of herself, how tried she was. She sighed and knew for once she would just give in and do something girly, he needed it and that was all that matter. She hugged him and whispered, "It's okay Zel, I understand I'm tried too, this will be the last thing we do…then we will have boring lives after this, what do you say?"

Zel pulled away and laughed, "You're lying Lina, we can't live a boring life, well I could just give me a huge library, but you Lina dear are too…fiery, your soul would never let you it needs to run wild and free. Plus you don't need me in this war, you are way stronger then me; I would only get in the way."

He started to walk away, but he could feel Lina's rage come back and he smiled. He wouldn't have smiled but defended himself if he saw what was coming; he was shot with a fireball. He groaned as he was thrown into a tree.

Lina laughed, Zel got up and was about to chew her out when he saw her face light up like it did before so long ago, like nothing had happened these last five hundred or so years to change her. He couldn't bring himself to say anything; he wasn't that heartless no matter what nicknames of himself he liked that the people of this world called him, the heartless swordsman; the heartless sorcerer swordsman something like that, he couldn't really remember all of them but his favorite was the heartless sorcerer swordsman.

Zel sighed and Lina stopped laughing and explained, "I need you by my side in this war Zel, just like old times. Zel, even if you don't know it you are strong, you are probably stronger then those weak Mazoku or those fat lazy Gods. You were the only one in our group that I could really count on. Amelia was too young and stupid to really understand the ways of fighting and rules of war, Gourry do I need to talk about him? The only thing that he could do was use that Sword of Light, but as I remember that Sword was given to the Other World God...person, what was his name, I think it was Erebos something like that anyway moving on, how did I get it?"

Zel started to remember, he knew why, but he had to remember it. Then a light bulb clicked on in his head. He remembered what had happened and he just shrugged and told Lina.

"One of the Gods from Darkstar's world the pink haired one came back…which was the only one left now that I think about it. He couldn't find you so he asked for my help. Long story short I helped him and he gave me the Sword of Light. I didn't want it, it is the only sword made of metal from this world…don't you dare look at me that and don't you dare start casting the Ragna Blade….Lina stop it….that's a good girl thank you. Anyway I didn't want the only man made sword that could kill me in my possession so I gave it to Gourry; again we couldn't find you so I gave it to him."

Lina nodded and tried to not laugh, it made since. It seemed that Zel had some fun. Lina giggled and started to wonder about more things, "Zel tell me what do did you want talk about?"

Zel sighed again, "I wanted to again warn you about Xellos. You are one of the smartest humans in this world. Remember everything you have learned and know, be careful. I don't want to see you get hurt Lina...I care..." he never got to finish, one because the look on her face and the other was Xellos choose that moment to come back.

"Hello Lina-san, Zel, I am back! The war is getting pretty nasty. We have lost so many; the Gods have only lost over forty percent. We need you Lina," I need you little flame; he whispered into her mind, I won't let you die, that isn't going to happen. Now that I have finally realized I love you I can't live without you, I won't!

She tried to wipe the emotions from her face, she succeed and replied, "I am ready, let's get going the war isn't going to wait for us is it?" Likewise my trickster I won't let you die either, now that I have realized that I love someone I won't let you die, you will live with me or I will die with you.

She went toward Zel and grabbed his hand and concentrated, she did everything Xellos told her to do. They teleported to the battle grounds for the war, Lina as soon as she got there had to put a shield around herself, some dragon attacked her, when she got a good look at the dragon she cast a full body binding spell on it.

The one that had attacked her was a golden dragon, and it had bows on its body...damnit it's Filia, Lina thought Xellos had disappeared so she had some time, but she knew he was close by she could feel him.

"Filia, if you stop struggling I will let out of this full body bind spell."

Filia was shocked at the voice, it was Lina but it was a short lived being shock at the reunion. Lina let her go and started talking, telling her to gather her race which meant every God. Filia was about to do that when she was shot with a spell!

Lina told Zel to shut the fuck up or she would do it for him, he was going crazy at everything that was going on and being crazier because Filia was just hit with a powerful spell, a Mazoku one at that.

Lina destroyed the Mazoku who attacked Filia quickly, then to both Lina and Zel's surprise Milgazia came to check on Filia as soon as he felt that she had been hurt. It seemed they were mates, so they could feel whatever the other was feeling. He wanted to know what had happened, and Lina told him exactly what she told Filia, then she told him if he wanted to know about Filia found out later this was more important.

He agreed to gather his race but was going to put a barrier around them, no funny tricks he said. Lina nodded she told Zel to watch over Filia and protect her.

She flew around, dodging attacks killing warriors from both sides, as she tried to find Xellos, she found him near a woman. She was dressed in Mazoku armor that had wolves all over it and there were wolves by the women too, so Lina knew this was Beast Master Zelas.

Zelas looked at Xellos then Lina and said, "So you are really are got her on our side pet, but tell me why did she," looking at back at Xellos now, "kill Dynast's General?"

Xellos laughed, "Probably Master it was because he pissed her off or annoyed her in some way. He tends…he used to do that all of the time, a lot really."

Zelas nodded and then turned to Lina and asked her why she did it, Lina replied with, "Because he attacked a friend of mine."

"A dragon? I don't get it child, you say you agree to help us but kill one of our high ranking Mazoku because your ally (us) attack our enemy?"

Lina glared at Zelas and said, "I don't care who you but I will fight or kill anyone who hurts my friends and I mean it!"

Zelas approved of her then asked Lina what she was going to do. Lina replied, "Gather all of the Mazoku and cast a carrier around yourselves too; the Gods are doing the same so I recommend it. I want a fucking meeting with all of you insane immortals."

PPP

Lina got what she wanted a meeting between both races; everyone who was in this war was there. This was where she was going to fulfill her side of her and Xellos' bargain, their deal. She was going to do what she had she was planning to do from the beginning; she was going to be a stop to this damn war.

"Okay you pea brains, asshole, idiots, dumbass do I need to say all of your names? Because that is what you all are for doing this stupid fucking, pointless war! So now everyone shut the hell up and listen to me, those who chose not to will…well die simple as that you want to live shut up. I am in a really pissy mood as you can hopefully tell; there are some of you I don't know about…anyway listen."

She had there attention now, insult them first that was rule one to speech giving you insult then threaten and then they listen, "I am Lina Inverse killer of both your fucking races. My older sister Luna Inverse is somewhere here and I PRAY that she stays her distance and won't come near me…I have no more room for scars anymore, she is the Knight of Cepheid. My younger sister Lara Inverse is somewhere and I hoped this one stays away from me too, but she is the Knight of Ruby Eye Shabranigdo, which all you Mazoku know and hate her heehee."

Lina paused and let it sink into those bitches out in the crowd, because she didn't like them and pretended they were all dogs, you know how when you go on stage or do a speech or something and they saw picture everyone naked? Well again she didn't need anymore scars and just made them dogs and wanted to insult them.

"I am the one who can weld the Ragna Blade and the Giga Slave as far as I know none of you bitches/bastards can't even do the Ragna Blade let alone the Giga Slave. I am a human, well…close enough anyway I am over five hundred years old and I know I look damn good for my age, anyway the reason this human or close to it is still alive is because the Lord of Nightmares," everyone gasped well almost, "wants me alive that is why this beautiful sweet innocent girl who looks damn good for her age is still here with you all."

She heard two voices shout, "Get on with it or I'm comin up there!" her face for a second looked scared but she quickly hid it, only a few caught it, but she couldn't go on because some stupid idiot yelled, "So what? You're on our side so help us kill those asshole, conceited Gods!" again the gasp escaped a lot of mouths. Before anyone could say anything to that or add to it Lina pulled out the Sword of Light and channeled a Dragon Slave in it and killed the stupid ass bitchy woman who said those things and killed her.

But of course someone had to come up and say something about it, her luck it was one of the Mazoku Lords, Deep Sea Dolphin, "Tell me you stupid human why did you kill my General? What about Dynast's? You are supposed to be helping us, you agreed to help us! Killing out General is not helping!"

Zelas hit herself in the head with her hand, but laughed too muttering how stupid Dolphin was, that was when Xellos had to say, "You made her that way Master, it's your fault. Dynast couldn't and didn't really give a rat's ass about who Lina killed as long it wasn't him.

Lina smiled one of those cold smiles that reminded Luna, Lara, Zelas and Xellos of someone, they knew that grin was from a certain someone, but didn't say anything but smiled everyone had a bit of that someone in their personalities, it was weird that they did something she did.

She smirked that evil grin and said straight up not afraid of Dolphin, "They annoyed me and remember what I said when I started this little speech, " she heard a couple of coughs and glared in those directions, "I said I would kill those who didn't listen, obviously your, well what was your General failed to follow my rule. It was a simple rule too."

Filia took this moment, when Zel was focused on Lina and yelled out, "Lina-san what the hell? You fight for the Mazokus? Poor Amelia-san what would she say I am glad she…" Lina had sighed and said one word, "Zel" Filia got cut off by him and he told her to shut up or next time Lina would kill her.

"My point is I am caught in between, both sides want me and I turned down the Gods and in a way I twisted my words around for the Mazoku. None of you have any right to ask me to fight my sisters! And for your information I agreed to stop this fucking war not fight in it on the Mazoku side or the Gods."

Zelas laughed, "I see you have changed child since you helped destroy Darkstar. Maybe Xellos is a bad influence on you, or are you on him?"

Lina looked at the crowd of Gods and Mazoku trying to ignore Zelas but smiled as she said, "The main point is you kill one you kill the other. The Gods can't survive without the Mazoku and the other way around. If you wipe out the Gods you wipe out the Mazoku. Think about it you dope heads why do you think that no one has really won between the ongoing war between the Gods and the Mazoku? Balance you bastards! Think of Chaos, Chaos is the mixture of both light which is the Gods and darkness which is the Mazoku. Filia rhetorical question for you, wasn't the prophecy of the Water Dragon King about light and darkness, Chaos? So tell me you stupid beings out there the Lord of Nightmares is the source of all Chaos in our world if you kill off one you kill of the other so there would be no Chaos. When you Gods want to kill all of the Mazoku you are saying. 'Hey Lord of Nightmares I want to help kill you!' and the Mazoku when you say you want to destroy the Gods you are saying the same thing."

Lina sighed and went completely still when someone's hands rested themselves on her shoulders, everyone went completely quiet, then the person's whose hands rested on Lina's shoulder's voice boomed around and every God and Mazoku alike heard it.

"I do hope no one here or anywhere wants to kill me." Lina turned around, this was her wasn't it the girl who talked to her in her dreams? She knew just by hearing her voice and looking at her it was.

One of the stupid people in the Gods section screamed out as soon as he saw the girl behind Lina, "God help us all, it's Hekate, Daughter of Chaos, the Lord of Nightmare's daughter!"

Hekate sighed and ignored the fool who said that and continued talking, "She is right you know." Really trying to ignoring the idiot now who was waving his hands in the air telling the people around him she told him to shut it, or she would shove it up his…she got a look from some people in the audience and smiled but didn't say anything else to him, he got the message though.

"You Gods and Mazoku balance this world, the Mazoku win, the Gods win it is a never ending cycle I believe Valgaav figured this out when he merged with Volphied and Darkstar five hundred years ago, which my little Lina killed them, I was and still am so proud! Anyway back on subject why do you think I have never really joined one side over the other? Because I help one side the other wants help etc. Now raise your hand if you want to hurt or kill Lina Inverse?"

A few raised there hands on both sides but they wasn't really important Gods or Mazoku the important ones knew this was a trick and so did everyone else when the one's who had raised their hands were ripped in half, all different ways too.

Hekate spoke after they had fallen to the ground, her eyes went from blue to black the only ones who paid any attention knew they were going to do that so they had watched for it. "Now that everyone is paying attention let me introduce formally, myKnight of Chaos, like her sisters who are the Knights of Cepheid and Shabranigdo. You insult her, harm her you insult me harm me, got it?" Everyone nodded and made sure they remembered it too, "Dismissed." Everyone left but Lina, Xellos, Luna, Lara and Zel.

Hekate glared at Luna and Lara because they still had their hands raised, because they wanted to hurt Lina, Lina of course hid behind Hekate. They looked innocent and Luna said, "But I want to hurt her Kate," Lara nodded, "Can I help please me want to do it too!"

Kate sighed and her eyes went from black to normal, "You guys are just too much, how do I ever deal with you two smartasses? Someone look at my hair and see if there is any grey or white? Xellos for once today do something don't just stand there like a lump on a log. Check my hair…please"

Xellos himself sighed and went behind her and checked her hair. "No sweetie there is not any other hair color besides blonde...wait it seems you still have some black because you are still a little mad why?"

Kate took a deep breath and leaned into him, Lina got all jealous but didn't say anything since she knew this woman brought her and Xellos together, so she went to all that trouble to do that she wouldn't take Xellos away for Lina.

Kate calmed down and when Xellos said it was all out she stopped leaning against him and stepped away. She gave Luna and Lara a look and they left.

She turned to Xellos and Lina and said as she smiled don't do anything I wouldn't do, and trust me that is one long list heehee. She walked off and grabbed Zel's arm and started walking away with him just talking.

Zel of course ever since he saw her hadn't taken his eyes off her, well he wasn't the only one, but he was the only one who had stayed that long. She was so beautiful, her long blonde hair, her gorgeous blue eyes. She was short like Lina but taller then her but at the same time shorter then Zel. He smiled and was talking with her as they left Lina and Xellos alone.

Xellos grabbed Lina and hugged her, "So stupid my love, they could have been killed you! But you made a smart more no more died, you fulfilled our deal you stopped this war. You're amazing my little flame."

She couldn't say anything to that, she only reacted, she put her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. I love you Xellos, my trickster, my Mazoku General.

He laughed inside and the names she called him, I love you too Lina, my little flame, my Knight of Chaos. He deepened their kiss and for once in their long lives they felt at peace, content with just the other in their arms.

THE END
