Welcome to the 6th chapter. This chapter takes place in the Slayers Universe
Encounter:
Gourry vs. Id
It was about 11 in the morning, the air was cold and the extreme rain made it seem colder. The sound from local forest animals was thick in the air. The smell of pine, oak, and maple trees was abundant everywhere. The sky was filled with millions of stars and the moon was full. In a small clearing in the forest a single campfire broaden its light through the vicinity. The fire was underneath a canopy of thick tree branches, to protect the fire from the rain. The fire also created a lot of smoke because of using damp fuel.
"I'm sooooo hungry!" Lina complained, as a loud grumble erupted from her stomach. This was Lina Inverse, a 16-year-old girl, with a hot temper, the appetite of an elephant and absolutely no breasts to speak of.
"WHAT ARE YOU WRITING." Lina screamed
"FIREBALL"
NOTICE: due to the author's untimely demise this fic can't continue anymore.
"HA," OceanLord laughs, "you missed me and hit Naga, (looks at a pile of ashes) Ha Ha HA. Now that that's taken care of, lets continue."
"Take it easy Lina," Gourry comforted. Gourry was a tall, long-blond-haired man, in blue armor that had the brains of a grape. "Zelgadis says that we should be in town tomorrow morning." Gourry indicated a man in white colored clothing, a hood covered the man's face. Zelgadis was a chimera. (a chimera is a creature that is an artificial combination of several creatures). Zelgadis once was fully human, however, a spell turned him into a human-golem-demon chimera mixture. Because of Zelgadis's golem side, all of his skin was rock hard including his hair, which was purple.
Also with the group were Amelia and Sylphiel. Amelia was a short 14 year-old-girl and a princess of the Kingdom of Seyruune. She had blackish hair, blue eyes, and was dressed in a light tan uniform with teal colored boots. Sylphiel was a 17 year-old-woman with green eyes and purple hair. She was dressed in a purple tunic, grayish leggings and purple gloves. Both Amelia and Sylphiel were masters in white magic (White magic is for healing and exorcism). Black magic, which is Lina's specialty, is all attack and destructive spells. All of them were sitting on the ground, underneath the canopy.
"It's true," Zelgadis said calmly. "By mid-afternoon we should be in the next town and then you can eat all you want." Despite Zelgadis' calm mood extreme fatigue showed through. In a split moment Zelgadis was asleep on the ground, lost in his dreams. Lina pulled her legs up to her chest.
"Not only an I hungry, I'm freezing out here!" Lina complained louder than before. The fire was indeed going down and would soon be gone. Everyone except Zelgadis slid a few inches farther away from Lina; they were expecting a tantrum from Lina any moment. All was silent for a few moments. A loud growl suddenly broke the silence, the all too familiar sound of Lina's stomach.
"Ahh, I'm soo hungry it's driving me crazy!!" Lina complained even louder (If that is even possible).
"Not only am I hungry but I'm cold, wet tired and I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere!!" Lina grumbled.
"All right lets face it, she can't nit-pick any louder than this..... I hope" Gourry thought to himself.
The night seemed to drag on for a long time. Only Amelia, other than Zelgadis, was able to find sleep. As for Lina, Gourry, and Sylphiel they were as conscious and alert as someone who just finished off 20 cups of straight black coffee. The flames of the fire were almost dead and the insects, which normally stay away from fire, started to swarm all over the group. Mosquitoes, horse flies, and gnats, to name just a few, were coming in large numbers and were all taking bites out of Lina, Gourry and Sylphiel. Lina turned toward Gourry and gave him a no-nonsense look.
"Gourry go out and get us some more fire wood." Gourry turned to look at Lina; her stare made Gourry fidget in his spot.
"Yes, please Gourry dear, please find us some fire wood." Sylphiel asked in a pleading tone. Gourry stood up and first stared at Sylphiel, then Lina. Gourry started to scratch his head.
"All right," Gourry complained as well, "I'll go, but why me Lina?" Lina stood and marched over to Gourry and grabbed his arm.
"Because you are the strongest and the most suited for menial work." Lina took Gourry's arm and swung him around herself and threw him into the forest. Gourry flew through the air and made a face-first connection with a nearby tree.
"Oh please don't hurt Gourry dear." Sylphiel begged Lina. Lina just ignored her and kept her attention on Gourry. Gourry peeled his face from off of the tree and turned with an extremely annoyed and wet scowl.
"Why did you do that Lina!" Gourry yelled. Lina just smiled and waved at Gourry. Gourry turned and headed off into the forest in search of some wood. The entire time he was mumbling to himself.
"I don't understand her at all."
Gourry was searching through the woods looking around and about. The night was still cold and the rain hadn't let up an inch. The sounds of forest animals could be heard more clearly now, that he was away from Lina's shouting. Gourry was trying to find good pieces of dried wood, but everything was soaked from the storm, including him. A few animals darted for shelter as he came through the woods raucously.
He was getting cold, tired and hungry. He really wanted to get back and warm up to the campfire. Gourry picked up a couple of logs that were just damp on the surface.
A bright flash from somewhere next to Gourry interfered with Gourry's night vision. Gourry was temporarily blind. Gourry tried to continue to head back to the camp, but he crashed into another tree and dropped the wood he was carrying. Gourry turned and tried to pick up the wood from where he believed it fell. All he did, thou, was to slip in a puddle and land in a mud spot. By now, his eyesight was starting to return to him. He could now see the dim outlines of trees and the moon. The moon was a quarter full tonight. Its beautiful shape cast a dim illumination over the forest canopy. Most of the light, however, couldn't reach the forest bottom, due to the dense canopy. Gourry leaned against the nearest solid object, a giant rock, he could find and waited for his night vision to fully return. Gourry waited a few minutes while his eyes adjusted.
Gourry could see clearly now and quickly spotted the wooden logs he had dropped. The logs were now, not only water soaked, but covered in mud, just like himself. Gourry placed all of the logs on his back and started to head back to camp. Where was the camp?
"I think I'm lost." Gourry panicked in a calm way. Gourry could hear, behind him, a continuous squishing sound. It sounded as if someone was stepping on soaked pieces of rotten, spongy wood. The sound also had a regular beat to it, someone WAS walking toward Gourry. Gourry turned to face the sound.
"Lina is that you?" Gourry called out to the sound. A person stepped into Gourry's sight. The stranger was still in the shadows of the forest, so Gourry couldn't see the person's face. It certainly wasn't Lina. The stranger's frame was too muscular, the stranger also had long hair but it was too spread out to be Lina's, Not to mention that the newcomer was too tall to be Lina. Gourry may be dense but even he could figure out that the stranger was indeed a man. The area around Gourry suddenly seemed still as if death had walked through it. Gourry also noticed that it was absolutely quite. None of the animals, not even the crickets could be heard. The man continued to advance on Gourry. The man passed through a bit of moonlight that had managed to break it's way to the forest floor. Gourry had only a brief view of the man; he was dressed in red and black clothing, red hair, and a pale white face with a look that could kill.
"Who are you?" Gourry commanded an answer from the visitor. The man neither answered nor slowed in his advance. Gourry dropped the payload of wood and drew the hilt of his sword-of-light. The sword-of-light was a family heirloom given to Gourry, and a magical one at that.
"Light come forth!" Gourry commanded the sword. The sword's blade erupted from the hilt and cast a bright light around the area. Gourry and the stranger were both momentarily stunned by the bright blade. When Gourry's vision adjusted to the light he could see the man preparing a spell. Gourry raised his sword in a defensive position and waited for the fight to begin.
"Where is he?!" Lina shouted. The campfire was now completely extinguished. Lina was now shivering in the cold and she was really ticked. "He should've been back by now."
"But, Gourry dear has only been gone for a few minutes." Sylphiel said while trying to warm herself up and calm Lina at the same time. A bright flash from somewhere in the forest cast a momentary light over the campsite. It wasn't bright enough to completely wipe out Lina's and Sylphiel's night vision, yet, they couldn't see as well as they used to.
"What the hell was that?" Lina asked. Lina looked over to where Sylphiel was suppose to be, yet, she wasn't there. Even Sylphiel's blue crystal wand was gone. Sylphiel's blue crystal wand was a present to her from her late father. Lina knew that the wand helps Sylphiel by magnifying her magic and her psychic abilities. But, where was Sylphiel, Lina immediately woke up Amelia and Zelgadis and told them what was up.
"Then she was gone Zel, along with her wand." Lina finished. Zelgadis put his hand on his chin and closed his eyes in thought. Amelia sat back against a tree and waited was in thought too.
"That certainly is strange." Zelgadis said calmly.
"I hope she's alright." Amelia wondered.
Back to Gourry, deep in the forest. The stranger hurled a basketball-sized ball of destructive energy at Gourry. One of the sword-of light's specialties was to reflect or absorb magical spells. Gourry brought his sword up like a baseball bat, swung, and struck the energy ball. The energy ball flew past the man and exploded somewhere in the forest. The smell of burning pine trees floated to Gourry's nose. The man, in his attempt to avoid the energy ball, had fallen to his knees. Gourry rushed at his foe and his swing would've severed the man's head. Gourry knew that for a person to cast a spell that person had to recite a quick chant aloud in order to cast the spell. But, as Gourry approached the unknown man another spell erupted from the man's hand. As before, Gourry had been expecting a spell chant before he had to block another spell. Gourry quickly lowered the blade of his sword. Gourry blocked the spell, however, the impact of the spell sent Gourry to his back on the ground and a few feet in the opposite direction. Before Gourry could get to his feet, his foe had already crossed the distance between them. The man lifted his fist, which glowed with a pink energy. Gourry had expected the man to aim for his chest or face, yet, the man had aimed for the lower part of Gourry's legs. Gourry swung his sword again trying to knock the man back. The man, while trying the hit Gourry's legs, ducked under the sword swing. The punch connected and Gourry felt immense pain and he was knocked down to the ground. While the punch caused a lot of pain it didn't break any of Gourry's bones. The man tried for a second punch and Gourry rolled to the side, with his sword against his body.
The man then jumped into the air and was going to crush Gourry against the ground when he landed, feet first. Gourry brought his sword up and the man's feet landed on the blade. Gourry heaved the sword to the right and the man went toppling onto the ground. There was a loud crunch as the man landed and crushed the wooden logs Gourry had been carrying. Gourry quickly got up and turned to face his opponent just as the man also got up. The man seemed to absorb the darkness from around him. The man formed a ball of black in his hands, and then threw it at Gourry. Gourry brought up his sword. The black ball bounced off of Gourry's sword and hung just a foot in front of him. The black ball expanded to form a small black hole that started to draw Gourry into it. Gourry fought to resist the pulling of the black hole, by planting his sword firmly in the ground. Yet, the pulling force was quite strong. Within a heartbeat the black hole became more intense, and it looked as if it was about to explode. Gourry closed his eyes and held to his sword for dear life. Gourry waited for something to happen. A small explosion erupted in front of Gourry and then everything was silent. When nothing else happened, Gourry opened his eyes. A wall of transparent white light stood in front of Gourry. The black hole was gone, exploded; yet the white wall had protected Gourry.
"What the?" Gourry wondered as he looked behind him. Sylphiel was standing there with her wand out. Sylphiel had cast a protection spell that had saved Gourry.
"Oh Sylphiel it's you," Gourry brightened, "What are you doing here?" Gourry got up and walked over to her.
"Well, I was worried about you Gourry dear, so I went looking for you." Sylphiel looked happy at the fact that Gourry wasn't injured at all. Sylphiel looked ahead of Gourry and spotted the source of Gourry's trouble.
"Who's that Gourry dear." Sylphiel asked Gourry calmly. Gourry turned to look at the stranger. Gourry brought up his sword and was getting ready for the fight to continue. Gourry looked momentarily confused at what he saw. The man seemed to shift in and out of phase. When the stranger shifted out, another man stood in the same spot. The second man also had long hair, but considerably less and the hair was done in a ponytail. The ponytailed man would then shift back to what he was before. Gourry heard the stranger mutter, under his breath. The stranger grumbled something about "him waking up." The man then turned and jumped out into the forest and out of sight.
"Wait, where are you going. Who are you?" Gourry called after the retreating man. Gourry heard, out of the darkness, the man silently call something back to him.
"Id" the man said. Then there was nothing. Nothing, but the rain, the cold, and the blackness of the night. Then the insects and other creatures could be heard once again.
That's it for the sixth chapter. This one took awhile and I hope that the next one doesn't take as long. In this fanfic I created four new characters (the fourth one was actually created by John Ball, my friend.) The first one is the evil master behind the whole fanfic. In the seventh chapter, the next one, I will introduce two more of the new characters I created, as well as some key plot element. Pay attention everyone. Some of the material covered in the next chapter will be vital to the rest of the fanfic.
