The Slayers: Dominance
Episode/Chapter 2

Gourry: Hey Lina… where are we going anyway?

Lina: GRRRR... How many times are you going to ask that question? Ok this is the last time I am going to tell you. We are 
going to try and find Xellos. I have a feeling something big is going to happen, and I bet he knows something.

Gourry: Ohhhh… ok. But, wait, how are we going to find him? It’s not like he’s just going to be wandering around the woods 
waiting for us.

Lina: Oh, if I know Xellos he’ll show up. Every time something bad has happened to us… He shows up.

??? :  LINA!!!! MISS LINA WAIT UP!

Lina: See Gourry? I told you.

Xellos: Lina, what a surprise, I didn’t expect to see you way out here.

Lina: Oh cut the crap Xellos, what is it now? Some big dark lord again?

Xellos: Lina, how come every time we meet you always expect trouble to follow?

Lina: Ok, then tell us what you are doing “way out here”.

Xellos: I am doing research.

Lina: On what?

Xellos: Now that’s…. a secret.

(Lina falls to the ground)

Zelgadis: (chuckling) Now why did I see THAT coming…

Xellos: Actually, the reason I am here is to tell Zelgadis that I found a way to turn his body back to normal.

Zelgadis: WHA?!?!

(Everyone looks at Xellos very surprised)

Xellos: I still need some time to do more research, but I quite sure it is possible.

Zelgadis: So your saying we might be getting our hopes up over nothing?

Xellos: Now…. I didn’t say that. I need to go, but I’ll be back after I get some things done. Oh, there is some decent food 
about 1 days walk that direction. (He points to a trail into the woods) If you had kept walking you would have run into the 
shadow dragon bandit’s hideout.

(Xellos turns away and disappears as he walks off.)

Zelgadis: So, Lina, which way do you want to go?

Lina : I say we check out the bandits. We might be able to find something about the guy from last night.

Gourry: Yeah, but how will we know if we meet him? We only saw his shadow.

Lina: Don’t you remember what his voice sounded like?

Gourry: Yeah, but he could have hid his real voice from us.

Lina: He was hit by a direct monobolt, Gourry, I doubt he had enough strength to do anything but talk.

Amelia: I agree with Lina. Besides, bandits are on the side of evil. We shall smite them with the hammer of justice and 
return what they stole. 

(Amelia starts to make “Heroic Poses”)

Lina: Amelia?

Amelia : Yeah?

Lina: Are you hungry?

Amelia: Just a little. Why?

Lina: Go save us some seats at the tavern Xellos pointed out.

Amelia: WHAT?!?!

Lina: A bandit’s hideout is no place for a sorceress in training. Get walking.

Amelia: Yes Miss Lina.  (she walks off into the woods)

Zelgadis: You just did that so you could steal from the bandit’s and not have her complaining.

Lina: So what if I did? LET’S GO!
