Slayers Nightmares
We find ourselves in the peaceful town of Sildar.
Our group is in front of the twenty foot tall gate with soldiers watching them, arrows knocked.
"I don't see the problem," Lina said. "We just want to get in the town for the night."
"Tell that to those soldiers who look ready to attack," Naga replied.
"Hey!" Ian shouted up to the soldiers, "Why won't you let us in?!"
"You are not of dress!" One of the soldiers shouted back.
"Which one of us are you talking about?!" Ian shouted.
"All of you!" Another soldier shouted, "One of you is wearing nothing but a bikini, another one is a boy with long hair, the third one is wielding a dagger, and your hair is blue!"
"What's wrong with that?!" Lina, Naga, and Ian shouted back.
"You guys are hideous!"
"Why you-" Lina was about to throw a fireball, but Ian hit her.
"Why did you do that?!" Lina asked loudly.
"Plan," he answered. He then looked up at the soldiers. "Lets make a deal!"
"What type of deal?"
"Let us in or we ram the door down!"
"No way, blue haired bastard!"
I could have sworn I saw a twitch in his eye. "You asked for it," Ian muttered. He then turned to Naga. "Naga, for this to work, I need you to run the battering ram."
"Leave it to me! OH HO HO HO HO!"
"Then follow me," Ian said. With that, he led us all about a quarter mile away from the gate, then let out a long, loud whistle.
"I suggest ear plugs, Lina and Gourry," Ian suggested.
"Why?" Gourry asked. Then it was heard. A faint, but hideous sound.
"Oh ho ho ho ho."
"Is that-" Lina then heard it again and got a very scared face. "Gourry, prepare for something scary."
That's when Naga realized what was going on and grinned. "OH HO HO HO HO!"
Almost immediately, a similar laugh resounded.
"Naga,allyours!" Ian said and ran to the side of the road, dragging Lina and Gourry along. Naga lauged, and in unison, all the other ten Naga's who were running toward her laughed. Then Naga and her copies ran in unison toward the gate.
"We need to follow them," Ian said, running after them. Lina and Gourry soon followed.
"OH HO HO HO HO HO HO! OH HO HO HO HO HO HO!" All the Naga's stormed straight for the gate. When the soldiers shot arrows, a copy cast a barrier while the original hit the gate with Dill Brand, blowing it up.
After an hour, the town and all the inhabitants were gone or stomped flat. The original Naga was in the middle of the wreckage, laughing her head off. Where the other Naga's went, no one knows. Ian, Lina, and Gourry were next to Naga, looking at the wreckage.
"Ian I must ask," Naga said, not laughing anymore, "Where did you find my homunculas?"
"They found me, dam it!" Ian said, infuriated, "they were causing a big ruckace in the town and I was dumb enough to pay for what they did. Afterwards, they wouldn't leave me alone! I never even got their names before I met you!"
Then an explosion went off around them. When the smoke cleared, the group had small burn marks around them and a mazoku was in front of them.
"Hello again, ice boy," the mazoku said to Ian, "It's been awhile."
"Not long enough," Ian replied. He looked more damaged than all of us.
"Do you know this guy, Ian?" Lina asked.
"Sadly, yes. His name is Krolar. He's a fire demon who's hated me for a while. We…" Ian said, "have a history."
"You say that as if they don't know," Krolar said.
"Know what?" Lina asked.
"I'll tell you when you don't cost more than twenty gold to pay for lunch," Ian answered, almost mockingly, "but lets get rid of this thing before we got into specifics." As he said that, he chanted a spell. "Freeze Arrow!"
As they hit Krolar, Ian smiled. "Your slow, fire jerk."
"and your dumb," Krolar said, and the ice around him melted. "Unlike last time, I have protection. I'm water-proof now."
"Dam," was all Ian said, but then I acted. "Fireball!"
The fireball exploded on contact, but didn't affect Krolar at all.
"I'm a fire demon, little girl," Krolar said.
"LITTLE GIRL?!" Lina shouted, "I'll kill you! Darkness beyond twilight, Crimson beyond blood that –" Ian held a hand in front of her.
"He's mine," Ian said, and then he walked in front of Lina. Lina's old talismans were on him.
"Chaos of the four gods, I call upon thee." A dark aura surrounded him. "Ruby Eye, Chaotic Blue, Death Fog, and Reincarnation of Dark Star, Lina Inverse." The talismans lit up like before.
"What?" Lina questioned himself. I am a reincarnation of Dark Star? Suddenly, Lina felt tired. Ian was chanting a really long spell. The more he chanted, the more Lina got weakened.
"Iceo Beam!" Ian shouted. He thrust his hands out and a large beam shot out of his hands. It hit Krolar, and for a while, all you could see was the beam. Lina was so exausted, she could barely stay conscious. Then the beam receded, and what was Krolar was now a pure ice statue of him. Just as Lina saw him, the statue shattered, and Lina blacked out…
What a bad place to end, huh? Okay, now you have a reason to send hate reviews at me. Wasn't this chapter confusing or what? Just so your not too mad, I'll give you a small sneak preview…
Lina was stunned. "Why was the talismans calling upon my power?"
"Because you're the new Dark Star," Ian explained. When Lina looked puzzeled, Ian added, "You're a demon now."
I hope this doesn't ruin anything. R&R, please. I can't wait to hear you suffer. I'm a sadist…
