The Slayers: Dominance Chapter 5 Lina: You sent us there on purpose, right Xellos!? You KNEW that is where he went, and you wanted a little "entertainment" DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT!?! Xellos: Now, Lina, why must you always suspect the worst of me? Zelgadis: Maybe it's because you are a monster. You tried to sell her out, you have done this sort of stuff before... shall I go on? Gourry: I still do not get how some one over 2,000 years old can look as young as you do, Xellos. (Everyone falls on their back.) Lina: Look, Gourry, we do NOT have time to deal with your stupid questions. There's something bigger at hand. Zelgadiss grabs Xellos by the collar again. Zelgadiss: Have you found out how to change me back yet? Or, is that... a secret? Xellos: I’m afraid I can’t tell you quite yet... My Lord would be quite upset with me... Lina: I’ve heard so much about your Lord Xellos! I COULD WRITE A BOOK! Hey... what does he look like, anyway? Xellos: Now thats... a secret.. Maybe you’ll meet him yourself. You’ve met a lot of dark lords... why shouldnt you meet him? Lina: Does that mean youll take me? Xellos: (startled) Now now, I didn’t say that. Besides you’ve got your hands full here. (A gang of trolls rushes into the clearing where the party is relaxing.) Lina: Oh, great. There must be like 50 of them. Guys hold them off for a sec. Gourry: What!?! You must be crazy! Even my sword is no match for 50 trolls at once! Lina: Just do it! (Lina grabs a stick and starts to draw in the Dirt.) Zelgadiss: (pushes 2 trolls away) Lina, this is not the time to perfect your art work! Lina: Shut up and fight Zel. (she starts to mumble to herself looking at the trees around the clearing) GOT IT! (Lina grabs a long vine, ties 1 end to a tree and starts to wind through the trees and across the clearing.) Gourry: WHAT are you doing?!? Zelgadiss: Quick Gourry, get over here! Out of the clearing! (Zel and Gourry jump out of the clearing just as Lina jumps to the last tree and ties off the vine.) Lina: Perfect. (Amelia walks into the clearing) Amelia: Hey, where’d everyone go... BAHHHHH!!!! TROLLS!!! Zelgadiss: AMELIA! GET OUT OF THERE! Amelia: Huh!?! Lina: EXPLOSION ARRAY! (A pillar of fire erupts from the ground and engulfs the trolls and Amelia.) Amelia: (lying on the ground, skin charred) Miss Lina... what did you do that for? (she winces in pain) You said you needed a magic seal to control that spell... Zelgadiss: If you had been here earlier, you would have know that she made one with that vine hanging above your head... (Gourry and Amelia look up only to see a star created by the vine) Gourry: Oooooooooh... THATS what you were drawing in the dirt, your plans Lina: Yep. Now, what do we have to eat? Zelgadiss: You know, you had me going there for a little bit, I thought you were too hungry to eat... Xellos: Oh, speaking of food, I sent Amelia to get some. To bad you burnt it all lina... Lina: WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA??!?!?!?!?!? Amelia: Oh dont worry Miss Lina, this has happened so many times to me that I left the food over by that tree. I heard a struggle coming from the clearing and thought ahead... Unlike you... Lina: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! NOW LETS GO EAT! TO BE CONTINUED
