Lina looks at amelia a little confuse What do you mean by our worst fears. I don't quite understand why you want us all dead. I want some answers now.
Zel looks at Lina and agrees with her. Garv looks horrified. "Ahhh!!! I'm going to die suffocating in a pile of Phibrizo plush dolls!!!" Garv faints and everyone sweatdrops.
The supposed Auntie Aqua looks at Lina and the others."Why would I tell you everything I'm up to? You have to figure it out yourself!"
Lina looks at the others I don't think this person is Auntie Aqua.
Zel asks Lina why do you say that it sure looks like her.
"Yes Zel you are right but remember looks can be deceiving."
Gourry looks at Lina with a confused look on his face. The supposed Auntie Aqua laughs hysterically and disappears. Garv suddenly speaks up from behind him completely restored back to normal, scaring a few of the Slayers. "I know who she is... --;;;"
Phibrizo nods and shudders. "That's Zelas!"
Lina looks surprised "What!?" She turns to Garv and asks "Who is Zelas?"
"Why would Zelas what us dead in the first place?" Zel and the others are still in shock from what Garv just said. Garv sweatdrops. "Beastmaster Zelas..."
Phibrizo finishes the sentence "Is Xelloss' creator!"
Garv continues "I hate hate hate hate"
Phibrizo pipes in "hate hate hate her!!!!"
Garv glares at Phibrizo and Phibrizo glares at Garv. Zel brushes them apart and turns to Lina "Why would she be trying to kill us??"
"Why NOT!" cried Lina, "Garv, you practically KILLED Xellos, and you, Phibrizzo, you, well, you got Xellos in a position to GET killed!" Lina sighed deeply.
Phibrizzo and Garv looked at each other and yelled, It was HIS fault!" simultaneously. Everyone facefaulted.
"For monsters, you guys have a VERY bad way of dealing with things." Zel commented.
Gourry then spoke up in a moment of clarity, "But why would Zelas want to kill us?"
Lina looks at Gourry and starts shaking him Do you ever pay attention you Jellyfish. Zelas want to kill us. Lina then looks at Garv and Phibrizzo and asks "Well I know why Zelas wants to kill you two but why would Zelas want to kill me and the others.
"Garv scratches his head. "Maybe because she's such a - "
Phibrizo is going to be annoying and finish Garv's sentence for him when Garv grabs Phibrizo so he can't talk and triumphantly finishes his own sentence. "...undescribably arrogant... no-life.... THING?"
Everyone sweatdrops as Phibrizo kicks and squirms and Lina nods slowly and thoughtfully. Zel spoke up, "that may be true about Lina, but that wouldn't be the reason that Zelas would want us all dead. There MUST be a better reason."
Lina glared at him for agreeing that she was arrogant, but agreed with what he was saying. "Yes," she added thoughtfully, "there MUST be something that Zelas is after! I don't have anything that Zelas would want! I'm not a threat to anyone right now!"
Gourry suddenly says. "Maybe Zelas is an arrogant no-life thing!"
Phibrizo finally gets out of Garv's grip and jumps to the ground. "Yes she is!"
Lina sweatdrops at Gourry and Phibrizo. "Uhhh... That's not a reason that she - ... wait... that's EXACTLY the reason she'd do this! Or at least part of it! ... I think... ARRRGH!!! I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT!!!! WHY DO ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN TO MEEEEEE!?!?!?!" Lina throws a tantrum and everyone sweatdrops.
Zel looks at Lina come on this is no time to be acting like this we need to find out what Zelas is up to.
Lina quit her tantrum you are right Zel. How are we supposed to find out what Zelas is up to anyway.
"Well," Zel began, only to be interrupted by Amelia, "we let JUSTICE help fight our battles and we will always WIN!!!" The group looked at her as if she was crazy.
"Uhh..what guys?" Amelia asked.
Zel sighed and repeated himself, "The best way to find out what Zelas is up to is by asking Zelas straight out!"
Lina looked at Zel thoughtfully and decided to try. "Zelas! Come out and tell us what you are REALLY up to!!!"
Garv stops them. "Wait wait wait. Zelas is not the type that would tell you straight out what she's thinking. But there is one person that she tells Everything to."
Phibrizo nods. "Grauserra!"
Garv cracks his knuckles. "I'll pound every bit of info out of him!"
Phibrizo smiles evilly "This time kill him! You didn't quite do that last time!"
Everyone else sweatdrops. Lina facefaults "Well... If you say so..." Wait a minute Garv I don't he know who this Grauserra is. Maybe you can tell me a little bit more about him. And what is this about you not killing him. Come On Come On I don't have all day Garv I am waiting. The other all stand back and watch lina throw another a tantrum.
Garv continues to make punching motions with his two fists. "Grausera is... a sissy THING that lives in the icelands! Zelas is the closest to him because he's such a chump just like her! Now the last time I saw him, he had said that Valgarv was a BAD minion, even if we all know that SERA is a bad minion now - " Phibrizo stops Garv.
"Wait. You're making it too complicated! Slow it down and make it sound easy!!!"
Garv glares at Phibrizo and Phibrizo glares at Garv and Lina stops them from doing anything else. "Stop you two. Just... summarize!"
Garv sighs and summarizes instead. "Grausera is a darklord chump on Zelas' side and we will go there to get some info on what Zelas is up to out of him!"
Lina nods slowly. "I think I understand, but.... HOW do we get there!?!?!"
Phibrizo looks at Lina with a shocked expression on his face. "Why, teleport, of course!!!"
Everyone sweatdrops. "Uh..I can't exactly teleport since I..DON'T...HAPPEN..TO BE A....MONSTER!!!!!!!!"
Garv looks at her sideways. Lina continued to yell at Garv and Phibrizzo. Zel attempts to control the conversation, "Tell us how to get there by NOT teleporting."
Garv scratches his head "Not Teleporting?" Phibrizo rolls his eyes.
"Yes walking, flying, sailing, riding, skipping, hopping, going from here to there by some means other than instantaneously appearing in the location which you are heading."
Garv thinks hard. "Well its the icelands."
Zel, "Which leaves us South, North or some random land under a magical spell that alters the climate into an arctic wasteland. You'll have to do better than that."
Garv sweatdrops. "Errr... uhm..."
Phibrizo laughs at Garv. "Just like Garv! You're so stupid! You stupid three headed blazing - "
Garv whacks Phibrizo on the head. "I am not you spoiled little hellbr -"
Lina stops them. "Fighting will not get us any direction to the south seas, let alone get us there!"
Garv glares at Phibrizo. "Fine. I wouldn't be able to direct you, but I have gone there by something other than teleportation. So I'd be able to go there again, I suppose."
Lina jumps up and down. "You do!?!?! Well lead us there!!!"
Garv sweatdrops. "Okay, but it took me 10 days the way I took."
Lina stops jumping up and down. "How DID you get there?"
Garv casually looks at Lina. "I flew."
Lina sweatdrops. "You FLEW!! Why, that's worse than teleporting!!! What gives you the idea that we can fly1?!?!?!?!"
Lina looks like she's going to fireball Garv when he stops her. "If you can fireball me, can't you Raywing?"
Lina sweatdrops. "Oh... uhm... yeah, guess I was a little stressed out to remember... haha..."
Lina sweatdrops and everyone facefault and fall to the ground. Phibrizo pipes in. "Or... We could just use the easy way and Garv and I can teleport you there."
Lina falls to the ground along with the others excluding Garv and Phibrizo. "Y...You mean... You could've teleported us there!?!?! And we've been discussing this and wasting our time!?!?!?!"
Garv and Phibrizo shrug. "What do you expect? We came back from the dead." Lina and the others looks at Garv and Phibrizo.
Zel looks at them and says "Well since you guys can teleport us there why don't you go ahead we are wasting time here."
Gourry looks at Lina and asks "Where are we going again Lina I forgot. "
Lina facefaults gets up and says "We are going to find Zelas to see why she wants to kill us remember."
Gourry with a confused look says "No can't remember a thing." Everyone sweatdrops. Lina looks at him and says "You are hopeless."
As Lina explains to Gourry what is going on, Phibrizzo and Garv decide who to take with on the trip.
"I am NOT taking LINA!" yelled Garv.
"Well, I think it makes more sense because you are bigger than me!! I will carry Amelia and Gourry, you carry Lina and Zel!" Phibrizzo stated. Lina, fed up with attempting to get Gourry to understand turned her full wrath upon the arguing mazokus.
"Thats IT," she screamed, "you will take Gourry and I, and YOU will take Amelia and Zel." Lina, huffing and out of breath from the exhaustion, glared at Phibrizzo and Garv until they agreed. Garv and Phibrizo picked up there assigned couples, both afraid of further angering the queen of mood swings ((BONK ouch)), and appear in the middle of a freezing land scape with great glacial walls like giant crystals. "I-I-I-I'mmmm fffreezing!!!" Lina stuttered.
"M-m-m-m-may-b-b-be, we ssshhh-ood have ssstopped for winter clooothessss first?" Zel asserted.
"Yessss, itssss unjusssst to t-t-t-treeeat your alliesss thiss wayy" Amelia rubbed her arms.
"What's wrong?" Everybody glanced at Gourry.
"No brains no pain," Lina muttered, then sneezed, which was due to her sister complaining about her somewhere else, but that's another matter entirely.
"Hmm...winter clothes...wait a minute." Phibrizo popped out and they all heard what sounded like a really big animal screaming in pain. Then the little brat appeared again with what appeared to be still dripping fur hides. Everyone looks mortified. Garv is unmoved. "You disgusting little..." He stops his sentence right then and there and sighs. "I guess I'll have to go get something myself..." Garv teleports off muttering obscenities.
Phibrizo blinks. "What'd I do wrong now!?!?!" Lina turns away from the dripping hides.
"Everything." Lina shivers as snow starts falling on her. And she starts screaming a tantrum. "I HATE BEING COLD! I HATE BEING HUNGRY! I HATE HATE HATE HATE - "
Garv comes back with a cart of clothes. Lina pounces on it. "CLOTHES!!! WARMTH!!! ALL MINE!!!" Zel and Amelia look at Lina.
Amelia shivers. "Lina-san!!! Not fair! Share and please be just!" Lina jumps out of the cart with so many clothes piled on that she looks like an egg. Zel despite himself stiffles a laugh and Amelia sweatdrops. Phibrizo is pouting and Garv looks at his watch(!?!) and Gourry looks confused.
Lina sighs "Okay! Now let's eat some food!"
Garv glares at Lina. "FOOD!?!?! We don't have time and you're asking about FOOD!?!?"
Lina glares back "YES! FOOD! THE ESSENCE OF LIFE! FOOOOD!!!!!"
Phibrizo surprisingly cuts in on the two glaring and furious red-heads. "Fine! I'll go get some!"
Garv grabs Phibrizo. "No you don't! You're not going to kill off some other animal!"
Phibrizo glares. "I won't this time!" Phibrizo teleports off, obviously sulking.
Great I can't believe you guys didn't bring any food with you. I am so hungry I need to food before I fight anybody. Lina said to Garv. Zel and Amelia got some of the clothes that Lina finally let them have. Gourry asks Lina where did that kid go Lina.
Lina turns to him he went to go get us some food I hope and his name is Phibrizo. Try and remember something Gourry. As Gourry tried to remember SOMETHING, Phibrizzo returned with a seven course French cuisine....25 servings of it.
"FOOOD!!!" She began to make a dash for the food and was both suprised and angry as she saw that Garv was holding her from getting the food. "What do you think you are doing???" She screamed in frustration.
"Allowing THEM some time to eat" He replied calmly, yet with relish watching her eyes fill with tears as she watched her friends eat most of the meal before Garv let her eat. She made short work of the 12 meals left for her.
"AHHH!" she exclaimed. Now that they were full and warm, it was time to find Grauserra. The group stood up and began to make the long journey. Traveling along the canyons of ice proved more difficult that it appeared at first, though not in the way that they would have guessed. They didn't hit any really tough monsters for while, spending most of there time trying to avoid slipping on the ice. Well the humans had that problem, the mazoku just floated along, unconcerned. The first serious threat encountered didn't happen for another half hour or so, and really didn't seem so at first.
"Ha ah haha, it seems that we have intruders in my masters lair." the voice boomed through the canyon walls back and forth echoing again and again.
"What's that?" Lina gasped.
"Oh don't you know?" the voice modulated again into a sort of high pitched almost feminine voice. then a tall humanoid rounded a corner...he...err...it had red skin, lobster claws, a tail horns, goatee and was wearing a tutu. Phibrizo pointed and stammered...."oh no....its...its...its...HIM!!!" everybody looked at Phibrizo.
"Him who?" Zel asked.
"Don't you guys watch power puff girls?" everybody face faults. Garv slams the back of Phibrizo's head. Phibrizo glares at Garv. Then the lobster... thing, fireballs Garv. Garv untouched and unmoved, blinks. The lobster... thing, then tries fireballing Phibrizo... again nothing happens. The lobster...thing, stares at Garv and Phibrizo... "Are you... who I think you are!?"
Garv sweatdrops. "Uhh... I guess."
Then the lobsterthing dies at the spot. Everyone sweatdrops.
Lina facefaults. "W..What was THAT!?" then suddenly, around the corner comes a snowball, and a guy that looks just like the lobster ... thing jumps out.
"Surprise! I'm lobster thing 2!!"
Lina looks at the lobster thing. Great another one. Where are they coming from anyway?
Zel and Amelia look at each other well I guess we will have to get rid of it if we are ever going to get to see Zelas.
Lina looks at Garv and says well what are you waiting get rid of the blasted thing will you.
Garv looks confused and says Me why should I have to kill thing anyway.
