Amelia strikes a pose as best as she can in rabbit form "We try to find a way out of course, Lina-san!!!"
Zel mutters. "I don't quite trust Xelloss... perhaps he is behind this?"
The Moose hears that. "Xelloss? You mean that purple haird man?" I don't trust him either seems like everytime he shows up something always happens to us.
Lina then turns to the moose you know Xelloss? The Moose nods. "He used to be my neighbor! One day he told me 'Let's go on a picnic!' and I followed him, then I fell in this hole..."
Lina looks confused Your neighbor? I am not sure i understand what you are saying. But in others words you got tricked and fell in this hole. Am I right Lina asked the moose. "Yes, my neighbor! He lived in the island next to me with his master, Zelas... And yes, foolish it was of me, but I was tricked..."
Well don't feel bad because he has tricked us several times. Who is this Zelas? Lina asked.
"He is a trickster, that's why I can't believe I got tricked! ... Zelas? Well, I guess you humans would call her a sister..."
Everyone in the room gasps. Did you just say sister? Lina asked Gourry looks confused you mean this Zelas person is Xelloss sister. Zel turns to Lina I didn't know that Xelloss had a sister. The moose sighs. "No, Zelas is MY sister! Xelloss I believe is what you would call Zelas' son!" Everyone gasps even more. Man am I confused. So in other words you are related to Xelloss. Lina asked the moose.
The moose nods. "I'm afraid I'm what you'd call his aunt, though I don't like the relation at all!"
Amelia sweatdrops. "Wait, you're not a male moose?"
The moose sweatdrops. "Do I look like one???"
Everyone sweatdrops. Gourry looks at Lina you mean this moose is a girl.
Yes Gourry that is what the moose just said you jellyfish pay attention will you. So you are his aunt and he tricked even you. Why would he do that?
"He is, mazoku!!!" Suddenly, the moose sweatdrops.
"You know... I didn't HAVE to be stuck here for 4 years... I just realized something."
Zel expects the worst. "And... what is that?"
The moose sweatdrops again. "I have the power to change us all back to normal!"
Everyone falls down sweatdropping. Lina grabs the moose and starts shaking her you mean you have known all this time how to change back to normal you didn't bother to tell us this.
Gourry goes to grab Lina come on Lina let her go.
Zel looks at the moose so will you turn us back to normal.
The moose recovers from the shock of getting shaked by Lina. "Yes, of course!" The moose snaps her fingers and there is a flash of light, then Lina, Gourry, Zel, and Amelia are outside sitting in the grass of a strange land they have never been before. Among them stands a blue haired lady with sea blue eyes and clothes in blue green garments.
Lina looks aroung where are we?
Gourry notices the lady who are you he asks.
The lady answers them both "You are in my land, and... I am... the moose." The lady sweatdrops and so does everyone else.
Zel mutters "What an interesting improvement..."
Yes I have to agree with you the lady answers.
Lina turns to the lady so we are in your land. What are we doing here?
The lady smiles at them with a slightly dumb look not very unlike Gourry's "I dunno, I just thought you might want to be here!!!"
Everyone sweatdrops again. Lina nudges Gourry. "Hey, this lady reminds me of you..."
Gourry looks confused. "Huh? Who Lina?"
Lina grabs Gourry she reminds me of you jellyfish brain.
Zel looks at the lady Why would we want to come here?
Yeah good question Zel. Lina responsed while shaking gourry.
The lady smiles at them. "Because I like this place!"
Everyone sweatdrops again. Amelia looks around. "It's ... nice I guess."
The lady nods. "Wait 'til you see the sea!!!"
Zel sweatdrops. "I just can't wait..."
Why do you want to show the sea Lina asks.
Gourry is confused as usual.
Zel is upset and says Look Lady I don't want to see the sea I want to know why you brought us here.
The lady looks confused. "I wanted to invite you to my picnic..."
Everyone is even MORE confused now. Lina sweatdrops. "Picnic??? Why would we want to - ... Picnic!? WITH FOOD!?!?!"
The lady nods. Lina jumps up "WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?!?! LEAD US THERE!!!!!!!!"
Zelgadiss looks annoyed. "Look Lina, we didn't come here for food. We have more important things to do!"
Lina who ingnores Zel to go get food. Zel runs after Lina and Gourry who are in their own world yelling FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!. They reach the place where the food is. Zel and Amelia are out of breath after chasing the two of them.
Lina are you listening asks Zel We have more important things to do?
Lina turns to Zel Like what she asks.
"We can't be certain that she is telling the TRUTH, Lina!" yelled Zel, " You can't blindly trust someone because they have FOOD! You have to control your cravings!"
Lina at that point flushes an angry red and prepares to yell at Zel until eternity. Amelia steps in and quietly says,"Lina-san, you have taught me not to trust people, and I agree with Zel that this seems highly suspicious!"
As Lina considers what to do next, the moose appears again.The lady steps forward. "I'm glad that all the picnic guests arrived!" That's when Lina notices that there are other guests. There's a grumpy looking red haired guy in an orange trench coat sitting off in the corner, along with a very familiar looking person in a red robe and staff, much to Zel's dismay.
Zel forgets about Lina and jumps on the man. "You disgusting vile thing! Change me back now or else!!!"
Lina looks at the person in red and says Rezo!
Gourry looks confused Who is Rezo?
Lina jumps on Gourry come you remember Rezo the guy that changed Zel into a chimera.
Lina goes to Zel hold a minute how are you sure that it is actually Rezo remember we killed him.
Amelia and Gourry are both in shock after seeing this man in that looks like Rezo. Zel ponders for a second what Lina said, then leaps toward Rezo. "DAMMIT! I want to be back to normal!"
Amelia and Gourry are still in shock, however, Gourry appears to be coming out of his stupor. "Lina.." Gourry whispers, his first thought is to make sure Lina doesn't get caught up in the fight.
At this point, Lina is holding onto Zel's shirt, heels dug into the ground yelling.. YOU CAN'T BE SURE ITS HIM ZEL! Appearances can be deceiving!"
At that point the man opened his eyes and looked at Zel. Rezo turns to Zel and says... "Zel, I am your father..."
Zel does a double take in shock. "Y...WHAT!?!?!?!"
Then Rezo says with the same deadpan expression. "Just kidding. Now Zelgadiss, why would you believe something like that?"
Most people around to hear that sweatdrops and Zel falls over. "Arrrrgh!!!"
The lady butts inbetween them. "Now, please don't fight while you're here! I had enough trouble keeping them from fighting!" The lady points at the guy in the trenchcoat and a very overly innocent looking black-haired boy. The lady turns to Lina and crew again. "I resurrected everyone at a very very big expense, and I don't want you all fighting and dying all over again!"
Lina sweatdrops. Lina turns to the lady you mean you brough back everyone that we had defeated. Why would you want to do that?
Gourry looks confused and asks Who did she bring back to life Lina.
Zel and Amelia fell down. Lina looks at gourry don't tell me that you don't remember these two people. One is Gaav and the other is Hellmaster.
Hellmaster looks over to Lina and Gourry. "hmph, you never could have defeated me. Lets try that fight again!"
"You are ON!" Lina yelled, leaping toward him.
Once againk, the lady interviened. "Listen, there is a reason I brought you all here, but I can't tell you exactly what it is at this point. Suffice to say, this isn't my true form." She said as she turned into Auntie Aqua."
Garv who seems to be very pissed off at Phibrizo for some minor reason is glaring at Phibrizo. "You little hellbrat." You just defeated me because I had my back turn! It was an off day!"
Phibrizo turns around and smirks and Garv "Oh yeah?! Well I - "
Auntie Aqua bonks both Garv and Phibrizo on their heads. They both shut up. Lina turns to auntie aqua and says why do you not want to us fight anymore. I just don't understand. Why did you bring us all here? I would like some answer please auntie aqua.
Gourry and the others are in shock. Auntie Aqua smiles her sweet smile at everyone in the room. "Please everyone, take a seat and I will explain everything!"
Lina grumbles as she sits down next to Zel, Gourry and Amelia. "Listen, we want to know what this is all about!!" Lina demanded.
Auntie Aqua leaned forward to say, its time that this fight ends.. its time that you all die. Everybody face faults.
Phibrizo picks himself up first. "You resurrected us, just so you could kill us again!?!?!"
Garv adds the following "WHAT KIND OF #@$$ MANIAC ARE YOU?"
"That's where Val gets that," Gourry noted.
"GOURRY, JELLYFISH BRAIN!!! THEY'RE GOING TO BLEEDIN KILL US." Lina shouted at the swordsman.
"Gee looks like you could use a mouth washing to," Gourry says.
"AAHHHH!!!! IF WE DIDN'T NEED YOU TO FIGHT NOW!!!!!"
"You don't really expect that we'll just let you kill us, do you?" Zelgadis asked coolly.
"There is no way that such pure and just fighters of light as us will ever be defeated by a MOOSE!!" Everybody sweatdrops
Rezo taps his chin thoughtfully, not very moved by that last comment from who appeared to be Auntie Aqua. "How... interesting." Zel growls at Rezo.
"Interesting my ass!"
Rezo turns to Zel. "You sure get touchy when you talk to me... I like that." Rezo smirks at Zel and Zel gets even more worked up about this.
Garv is off on the sidelines yelling obsceneties at nothing and Lina is bonking Gourry on the head. Amelia butts in. "wait everyone, she said she was going to kill us! Could you all please stop fighting? It's not very just you know!"
Zel sweatdrops. Lina nods. "Amelia's right. We should all stop fighting and stick together and try tothink up a way to defeat whoever... this person is." Lina turns to where the supposed Auntie Aqua was and is surprised to notice that she's gone. Hey you guys did of you notice that Auntie Aqua just disappeared.
The others turn to look around and notice that she disappeared. Zel turns to Lina why would she just disappear like that?
Lina looks at Zel I really don't know.
Amelia looks up to the sky and sees the dark clouds forming. "Hey, guys, something is going on. Look at the sky!" Everyone turns to look.
Garv appears unimpressed. "No one can kill me again!" He stated arrogantly. Phibrizzo looked at him and laughed.
A voice screamed down towards the group: I said its time to die, and when you die, it will be through your worst fears."
