"Where are those two priestess'? Damn!" Alex yelled to herself, sitting in the middle of nowhere. The surroundings were just trees and forest land and one sign that said: The Middle of Nowhere. "I've gone through hell to get those pictures ... But I can't give up now! I have a feeling I'm getting closer!" She said triumphantly.
She walked over to the mountain side, scanning the horizon, as the sun was setting. Beyond the valleys below was a town built between two canyons. It was small but still a miracle for Alex to find out in the middle of nowhere.
Alex gasps and runs down the mountain path toward it.
"Okay, so we haven't found Zelos yet, but at least we got Martina," Lina said to her companions, trying to cheer them up, as they walked down the town's long streets. Amelia shrugged.
"Yeah, great ... We spent tons of precious time looking for him and we didn't even find him!" She complained. Gourry and Zelgadis nodded.
"Well, it doesn't matter. What matters now is food!" Lina yelled. Gourry and Amelia nodded happily.
"Okay, then, where's the restaurant?" Lina asked herself while looking at the map. She scanned it a moment, then looked up. "I can't find it ... Let's split up and look. I'll go this way with Gourry. Zel, you go that way and Amelia you take that way. Let's go!" She said enthusiastically.
They all nodded and ran down the paths. Zelgadis sighed and then went down his.
"Is this a back road or what?" Amelia asked herself down the path. "I don't see any buildings ... "
"Is this a back road or what?" Alex asked herself down in the village. "I don't see any buildings ... "
"You, it can't be!!" The two yelled at the same time. Amelia gasped.
"So, you're still alive, and I was hoping the Dragon slave would take care of you!" She said evilly. Alex clinched her teeth.
"Well, thanks to you throwing me out the window I escaped! I'm going to make you pay, you little brat!" She draws her sword. " NO one throws me out windows and gets away with it!"
Amelia puts her hands up for a spell.
"And I'm ready! I, Amelia Wil Tesla Sailoon will not lose to you, a new mission other than the Claire Bible now awaits me! And your defeat shall be the start of it!" Amelia cried triumphantly. Alex laughed.
"You're three years to young to defeat me. I, Alex Guth will find those two bitchy priestess' and get those naked pictures of Zel yet!" She cried. Amelia widens her eyes and Alex puts her hand over her mouth.
"Oh, so that's what you're up to, eh Alex?" Amelia laughed. Alex clinched her teeth.
"It slipped!" She cried. Alex looked up and Amelia lowered her hands.
"Okay, Alex, I challenge you!" Amelia said.
"Challenge?" She asked Amelia.
"To a race! First one to find all, takes all! I won't let you take those pictures of my Zelgadis-san for your own selfish reasons. They'll belong to me!" Amelia smiled. Alex grinned and then laughed. She put her sword away and walked toward Amelia and offers her hand.
"All right, I accept your challenge!" She said. Amelia looks down and shakes her hand.
"Rather dirty outfit you're wearing, isn't it?" Amelia asked.
"What was that?!" Alex cried. Amelia twisted her hand around and pulled down Alex's thumb.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" She cried. "Yay! I win! I win!" Amelia jumped up with joy. Alex clinched her teeth in frustration. Amelia finally stopped and then began running off back to the village.
"I'll win, just you wait!" She called back to Alex.
"You little brat!" Alex cried. " Just you wait!"
On the other side of the wall Zelgadis stood listening to them
"I see. That's what's going on ... "
"Hey, Amelia why do we have to take this path? It's much longer than the other one," Lina asked Amelia the next day on their travels.
"Oh, no reason really. I'm going to go over there by the lake and rest. I'll catch back up with you later." Amelia said. Amelia ran off before Lina could reply.
"She's weird don't you think, Zel?" Lina turned around. "Zel?"
Amelia sat up in the trees watching Alex below.
"I knew she would come this way, good thing I prepared last night."
Alex walked along the path shaded by the trees beside her. Alex tripped over something on the path and then was pulled up into a tree with rope then a net fell over her.
Amelia jumped down from the tree. Alex clinched her teeth.
"You! I should have known! This isn't fair!!" Alex screamed. "We've only just begun."
"I said I would race you. I never said there had to be rules!" Amelia laughed. "I set it up last night. I didn't think you'd actually fall for it though. Don't you see? This is the start but I'm already winning. Why don't you give up?" Amelia asked.
"To you, never!! I'd rather go back into the Darth Vadar's cults torture chamber. At least now you're speaking Japanese! What horrible thing's I faced there ... Sitting a dungeon, listening to you and-" Alex began. Amelia looked confused.
"What are you talking about?" She asked.
"It doesn't matter ... Just get me down!!" Alex screamed. She struggled then drew her sword to break the ropes. She swung at them and it bounced off as though hitting stone.
"That won't do you any good. I've strengthened those ropes with my magic," Amelia laughed, "I guess you just can't defeat someone like me," Amelia said vainly. Then she turned and began to leave Alex.
"Wait, you can't just leave me here!" Alex cried.
"Sure I can ... Oh, and by the way you're butt ugly. See ya, Alex!" Amelia yelled back to her.
"I'll show you who's ugly!!" Alex screamed.
Amelia ran down the forest path smiling to herself. Amelia tripped over something on the path and then was pulled up into a tree with rope then a net fell over her.
"Hey, Alex you jerk! Fire Ball!" Amelia released the fire ball and the ropes just absorbed the spell. Zelgadis came out from the trees.
"Hmm ... The magic barrier I put on those ropes is working better than I expected," He said calmly. Amelia sniffed then began to cry.
"Zelgadis-san, how could you?!" Amelia cried.
"Don't take it too hard. We're going down the other path to "The Village in the Middle of Nowhere". Then we'll go up into the mountains. We're not tagging along behind that other girl." Zelgadis said. Amelia sighed.
"Okay, just help me down ... "
Amelia sighed. "This isn't fair ... I was the one who made the challenge and now I can't even fight in it." She thought to herself as the others were eating dinner at the Inn.
"Amelia are you gonna eat that?" Lina asked her. Amelia shook her head. She sighed then turned around looking at the table behind them.
"There, Kira, say ah!" Zelos instructed her. She smiled happily and ate.
"Try this Zelos, it's good!"
"Okay! Eat as much as you like. I'm paying for- Amelia?" Zelos said.
"Zelos-san? What are you doing in The Middle of Nowhere?" She asked.
"Oh, just traveling around, I guess ... But-" Zelos looked up at Lina, Gourry, and Zelgadis' angry faces.
"Hey, guys, take it easy. Look who I found," Zelos pointed at Kira. " Even if she did color on the first Claire Bible and Lina burnt the other to a crisp, she still might hold a clue to where another Claire Bible is. There are many in the world you know," Zelos explained. Lina cracked her knuckles.
"What's that got to do with making me wear pink dresses and Makeup? Because of you my reputation as a tom-boy sorceress is ruined!" She yelled.
"I said take it easy. Look, I'll make it up to you ... Just watch Kira for me tonight and I'll help you find another one. I promise."
"I'll watch her Zelos, I've got space in my room," Amelia offered.
"Okay, great. Kira just follow her and go up to bed. You've had a long day." He said to her. Kira nodded happily and followed Amelia into the Inn section. The rest followed with Zelgadis still trying to kill Zelos.
Scene from Tenchi Muyo 1
Alex crept around the Inn trying to keep quiet. " Damn, it took me forever to get out of those ropes ... But now ... Wait this is Zel's room! At last!" She said quietly to herself. " He'll fall in love with me at first sight. I can meet him at last."
She began pulling the door open then found herself out the Inn in the lake. A small frog jumped off her head and she clinched in anger.
"AMELIA!!!"
Alex scrabbled up to Zelgadis' room again only to find Amelia standing there.
"Dirty little girl, trying to get into Zelgadis' room, without even knocking. I'm glad I put a force field up," Amelia said in a satisfied voice.
"You're cheating, Amelia!" Alex complained.
"I never said we had to have rules."
"Hmm ... She's just a kid, she'll be easy to scare and fool ... " Alex thought.
"Okay then, Amelia, you can go first," Alex said. Amelia began to blush.
"What do you mean go first?" She asked.
"Good, I knew it would get to her ... But maybe I should get more extreme," Alex thought again.
"Well, you're trying to get him into the sack too, aren't you?" Alex asked.
"Of course not!!" Amelia screamed.
"You love Zel, don't you?" Alex asked again. Amelia face turned bright red like a cherry.
"Well, yes ... I suppose ... I mean ... "
"Then why not? It's only natural if you love him," Alex said still playing along with her. Amelia put her hands on her cheeks.
"But, I don't know how he feels about me and it's ... Just too early for us ... " Amelia said softly. Alex grinned at her work and then continued.
"Oh, well, in that case I'll go first," Alex said as she began walking up to Zelgadis' door again.
"Okay ... Hey wait!" Amelia ran and blocked Alex's way. "This isn't about who's going to go first, I can't believe you ... You won't pass me, Alex!" Amelia said in an angry voice. Alex sighed.
"Okay, then we'll do thing's the way you like too, we'll fight!" Alex forced Amelia into the wall as Amelia began fighting back.
Weird Tenchi Muyo Dream 1
Kira looked around in pure blackness, tears in her eyes.
"Amelia, Zelos ... Where is everybody?" She said in a sad voice. Then the ground under her breaks like glass and falls and hits herself hard on the head on the ground.
She lay on the ground blood pouring from her and mist began to fall. Zelgadis appeared within the mist looking over her.
"Zelgadis ... I'm hurt ... " Kira said in a sad scared voice. Zelgadis offered Kira his hand and Kira reached for it. A huge hand appeared behind Zelgadis. Kira gasped.
"Zelgadis, watch out ... " She said softly. The hand grabbed Zelgadis and began pulling him away. Above Kira could see a girl looking over Zelgadis in her hand. She had long crimpy brown hair and she was smiling.
Kira half in shock pulled herself up.
"Don't take him away! No! Don't take Zelgadis away!" She screamed as the blood below began sucking her inside it.
Kira turned and turned in her sleep then tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Don't take him away!" She said. She then opened her eyes and looked around. "Amelia, where are you ... Amelia?"
Back to Tenchi Muyo Scene 1
The two clinched their teeth still pushing each other around the Inn screaming.
"Just who were you calling ugly back there Princess?" Alex asked in an angry voice. Amelia just kept pushing but was still shoved back into the wall.
"You leave Zel to me! He's too much to handle for a little girl like you!" She said. Amelia lunged at Alex and shoved her into the other wall. Kira began coming down the hall tears in her eyes. The two ignored her and went on battling as she passed.
The two heard a knock and stopped.
"Zelgadis ... " Kira said as Zelgadis opened the door to his room.
"What's wrong, Kira?" Zelgadis asked.
"I had a scary dream ... Can I sleep with you?" Kira asked sweetly.
"Where's Amelia?"
"She's out there with some other girl ... " Kira replied.
"That girl found her way here, I expect their fighting," Lina said from inside the room. Amelia and Alex gasped.
"Those two are being so impossible!" Zelgadis said.
"Well, we'll forget them and all sleep here together," Lina said. They heard the door close and then ran for it.
"Wait just a second!" Amelia yelled.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait!" Alex yelled. They slightly opened the door then disappeared. Zelgadis walked back up to his door.
"I wonder what that was ... " He said. Lina looked out the window into the lake.
"Two wet fools who forget to knock ... "She said.
Zelgadis looked up.
"What was that Lina?" He asked.
"Oh, nothing. Come on let's sleep," Lina smiled. Kira looked confused.
"Hey, Lina why are you in here?" She asked.
"Well, Zelos is staying somewhere else, you were with Amelia, and Gourry came into my room instead of Zel's, and I can't sleep with his loud snoring! There was nowhere else to go!" Lina explained.
"That's fine. Kira you can sleep in that bed with Lina and I'll sleep over here, okay?" Zelgadis said.
Kira nodded.
"Okay," Kira said as she laid down.
"So, Kira, what was your dream about?" Zelgadis asked.
"Zelgadis ... I girl took you away, Zelgadis ... I don't know who she was ... " Kira explained.
"Well, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."
"Okay..."
Outside Alex and Amelia sighed trying to get dry again.
