"ITS ALL YOUR FAULT WE ARE HERE!!" Lina screams into Garv's face. Garv, deciding not to try to find the logic in that comment, blows up the lobster. "There, happy now brat?" Garv sneers at Lina.
Lina, already spoiling for a fight starts toward Garv. Wisely, Zel grabs onto her and tells her to stay put. "Listen, Lina, we need to work together on this, or we will be where we started, all sitting in a group, fighting, waiting to die."
Yeah Zel I guess you are right. Lina looks to Garv and says "Well I guess I can put up with you till this is over."
"So Garv where do we go from here and where is Phibrizzo at anyway?" Garv ponders where to go as Amelia goes in search of Phibrizzo. Amelia looks around, using Raywing to search high and low areas. After searching for about 2 hours, she becomes discouraged and begins to head back when she sees something suspicious below. Curious, she takes a closer look to see Phibrizzo and Zelas talking. "Ha ha ha ha ha!! We have them fooled Zelas! They think that you can stop "Auntie Aqua"!! When the only one that can stop her is Lina and her Giga Slave. There is no way possible that she can handle the Lord of Nightmares twice..the power will be MINE!!"
Amelia is in shock after seeing phibrizzo talking to someone who seems to be Zelas. After hearing all this she prepares to leave but before she could do that Phibrizzo spots her. He then proceeds to go after her. Amelia finally gets away from him but knows he will come after her to prevent her from telling Lina what is actually going on. So she decides to hide for while till nigthfall then make her way to the others. Phibrizzo passes her hiding spot several times, causing Amelia's breath to catch, and her to fear for her life. "What will happent to everyone else?? Will they die if I don't warn them in time? And did Lina-san and Garv get into another fight?? I WISH I WAS THERE!" Amelia thought.
Meanwhile Lina and the gang were heading farther and farther into the mountains and away from Amelia. "Where IS Amelia?" Zel wondered outloud.
Lina looks around "I don't know Zel she went looking for Phibrizzo hours ago she should have been back by now."
Zel is concerned about her and says "Well I think we need to go and look for her she could be hurt or in trouble somewhere. Lina looks at Garv and he agrees with Zel. Meanwhile Amelia notices that Phibrizzo has left and it was getting dark. So she then fly back to where everyone was suppose to be but they weren't there. She said to herself "They went on without me." She then decides to go farther into the mountain.
Amelia doesn't realize how close she is to danger as she gets closer to the trap that Zelas has set for the group. Desperately wanting to catch up to the group and warn them, she doesn't notice the tree branch ahead and catches her at the stomach, causing her to fall to the ground, unconscious. Lina leads the group deeper into the caves in the mountain. Using her lightening spell to help lead the way, the group encounters a light up ahead. Curious, they head toward it, not knowing what is ahead. Zel is still worried about amelia and tells the others "I am going back to find Amelia its not like her to be this late."
Lina looks to Zel "You can't go back all by yourself."
Garv is getting upset with Lina and says to her "Zel and Gourry can go back and look for your friend while you and I stay here and wait for them to return.
Lina is a little shocked to hear this from Garv but agrees"Okay Zel you and gourry go find amelia and get back here quickly."
Zel and Gourry then leave the others and head back through the mountains to find Amelia. Gourry looks at Zel and says "You know she is in trouble don't you."
Zel nods. "Yes, I have this feeling that... well..." Zel becomes silent and Gourry nods. Lina is walking and complaining about how cold it is. Garv is chiding Lina and telling her that she has 10,000 coats on and that she shouldn't be cold. They start to fight again when Lina stops herself, growling. Garv glares, then his expression switches as his look becomes thoughtful. "I wonder where that hellthing is... It's not like him to run off like that... Or maybe ... he's up to no good."
Lina is about to say something nasty to Garv since they were fighting a few minutes before, when she realizes that Garv is probably right. She remembered how Phibrizo had pretended to be their friend only to be their worst enemy yet. Lina looks to Garv "Well what should we do then go look for Phibrizo."
Garv answer "We should wait for your friends to come back."
Meanwhile Gourry and Zel are still making their way back to find Amelia. Gourry looks to Zel "Where do you think Amelia could be?"
Zel then turns to Gourry "I don't know but I think she is trouble."
"I hope Lina will be okay with Garv."
Gourry has a confused look on his face "What do you mean by that Zel?"
Zel shakes his head. "You know how they are. They look for something to fight all the time. It takes a third person to stop them from fighting." Zel is worried about both, but keeps walking, suddenly spotting something white on the ground (unconscious Amelia) he runs towards it.
Meanwhile, Lina is just standing there and Garv is sitting on the ground. Lina sweatdrops. "I wonder when they'll be back..."
Garv replies "I dunno."
Lina sweatdrops again. "Uhhh... I hope they come back."
Garv replies. "Yeah."
Lina sweatdrops one more time. "Uhh...... I wonder when they'll be back?"
Garv falls over. "Arrrgh!!!"
Zel looks down to see Amelia unconscious and then motion to Gourry to help him. Zel tries to wake Amelia up but she will not wake up. We need to get her back to Lina and Garv maybe she can tell us who did this to her. Gourry nods in agreement. They begin to carry her when all of sudden Phibrizzo appears. Zel looks in shock "Phibrizzo what are you doing here?"
Phibrizo looks surpsied, then he suddenly switches to an innocent look. "Me? I've been looking all over for you! I saw Lina and that big goof-ball redhead and they told me that you were looking for Amelia so I came to find you! Come on! I know where they are!" Phibrizo starts leading them to another direction. Zel frowns, a little suspicious as always.
Gourry scratches his head. "How did Phibrizo catch up with Lina and that other guy so fast??"
Meanwhile, Lina is juggling with some oranges she found in her cape. Garv is looking out at the sky. "I have this really strange feeling that those other companions of yours are in trouble."
Lina peels an orange and eats it, then turns to Garv with her mouth full. "You're just worrying because everything you think about turns into 10 times the worse case than it is because you're such a hot head!" Lina snickers, expecting an outburst, but Garv doesn't say anything and Lina is surprised.
Zel who is still carrying Amelia looks at Phibrizzo and wonders how he knew where to find him and gourry. Gourry was still confused. Zel looks up and notices that they are walking in a different direction. Amelia begins to come too and notices that Phibrizzo is with them. Then she looks up at Zel and says "What is Phibrizzo doing here?"
"How did you guys find me anyway?"
Zel looks at Amelia. "Lina and Garv told Phibrizo to escort us to where they were, and we were worried so Gourry and I came to find you." Amelia looks horrified as her eyes widen, she wishes to say something, but by this time, Phibrizo has slowed down his pace so he could walk next to Zel so he could eavesdrop on everything they said. Zel is getting more and more suspicious.
Zel notices that Phibrizzo is listening in and says "Do you mind?"
"You are suppose to be leading us to Lina and Garv."
Meanwhile Lina and Garv are still sitting around waiting for them to get back. Lina says "Man I wish they would get back here and what makes you think they might be in trouble anyway."
"Do you know something I don't."
"So why don't you give me some answers.
Phibrizo smiles innocently at Zel and speaks "Yes, I am leading you to Lina and that stupid red headed thing." Phibrizo smiles again a little more widely and Zel frowns. Amelia shivers and her eyes tear up. Phibrizo glares at Amelia, now knowing that she knows his plans.
Meanwhile, Garv is looking thoughtful again. "Well, that little hellthing just well... it's not very trustworthy and it never came back... Don't you find that quite strange? ... Or am I becoming paranoid!?"
Lina sweatdrops. "Well, maybe you have a point there..."
Lina looks to Garv you know I have to agree with you. So what should do then.
Garv looks to her "Well I think we need to go after them because that hellthing I don't trust him at all.
Lina nods in agreement and off they go to find the others.
Meanwhile Zel notices that Amelia looks a little scared and wonders why. Gourry wonders where Phibrizzo is leading them to. Zel turns to Phibrizzo we need to stop and rest for a few minutes it is getting cold.
Phibrizo looks annoyed, then shrugs, still trying to deceive them. "Fine, then. Let's go there." Phibrizo points to a cave and Zel, Gourry, Amelia, and Phibrizo both step in. Phibrizo stands around impatiently and Zel still wonders about Phibrizo.
Lina and Garv walks through the snow as Garv looks around. "Sooner or later I will be able to sense the thing."
Lina looks confused. "How??"
Garv looks at Lina. "I was mazoku too once, remember?"
Lina nods. "Oh..." Lina inches a little away from Garv.
Garv frowns. "Hey!"
Lina sweatdrops. "Sorry! It's just that I don't have luck with mazoku!"
Garv shakes his head. "I don't either."
In the cave Zel lays Amelia down and begins to prepare a fire. Gourry looks around at Zel so what do we now?
Zel answers him we stay here the night Amelia needs some rest and some warmth right now. Who knows how long she had been unconscious in the snow.
Gourry nods okay but what about Phibrizzo.
Meanwhile Lina and Garv continue their journey to find the rest of the group. Lina looks to Garv you know I have a feeling that they might be trouble.
Zel is about to answer when he hears a strange sound, then a click. He gasps and looks over as he sees that Phibrizo had somehow sealed in the entrance to the cave and is now standing triumphantly, blocking a small crack that is left in the entrance. "I've fooled with you humans long enough."
Meanwhile Garv sighs in exasperation. "Yes, I wonder why I never had that kind of feeling before."
Lina growls at Garv and Garv glares at Lina, then stops. "Look. We have to find the others. Fight later, okay?"
Lina sighs. "Okay, fine then."
Zel looks at Phibrizzo and says "What do you mean by that anyway?" Amelia is still not fully recovered to tell them of Phibrizzo plan. Gourry gets his sword out just in case he has to use to it.
Meanwhile Lina and Garv are still working there way through the snow when Lina notices the place where they stopped for some reason. Garv notices it too. Lina asks "I wonder why they would have stopped here?"
Phibrizo grins some more, then frowns, then casts a strange spell around them. Zel shouts at Phibrizo "What was that?"
Phibrizo grins at them again. "Someone is out there looking for you. And I cast a silence spell around us. Now, prepare to die."
Zel looks shocked. "What?? Why!?"
Meanwhile Lina and Garv have stopped. Garv frowns. "I can sense the thing, but I don't know where. I can't hear anything... can you?"
Lina frowns. "No, I can't. But I sense magic... But from where??" Lina and Garv look around the place.
Meanwhile back in the cave Zel and Gourry prepare to fight for their lives. Amelia begins to recover and notices that Zel and Gourry are about to fight Phibrizzo.
Lina and Garv are looking around and then Garv notices footprints in the snow. "Hey Lina look over here!"
"Footprints." Lina then says "Alright then what are we waiting for let's go now."
Garv looks at her upset "Wait we don't want to run into a trap do we."
Lina sweatdrops, then gets angry since she was the one who almost ran into a trap. "I WAS JUST TESTING YOU TO SEE WHAT YOU'D DO!" Garv sweatdrops and rolls his eyes. Phibrizo halts as he hears Lina right outside the cave.
Gourry pounces at Phibrizo with his sword and Zel tries to stop him. "Gourry, no!"
Phibrizo snaps his fingers as Gourry is sent flying into the cave wall. Phibrizo smirks. "You know that I could destroy you all with one snap of my fingers. But what's work without any play?" Phibrizo laughs evilly.
Zel goes over to check on Gourry. Of course Gourry is okay. Zel then hears a familiar voice outside the cave its Lina she is outside we have to somehow let her know we are in here. Gourry turns to Zel "How are we suppose to do with him blocking the entrance?"
Outside the cave Lina and Garv notices the footprints stop at the cave. "So now what Lina turns to Garv."
Garv frowns. "This is VERY suspicious." Then he smirks. "I just know that this is something made by the brat!" Garv kicks at the entrance and the entrance falls over... onto Phibrizo. While Phibrizo is stunned under the fallen entrance, Zel and Gourry, stunned for a second gape and stare. Zel, fast as usual, quickly gathers Amelia in his arms and runs out to Lina. Gourry a split second later follows.
Boy I am glad that you two showed up Zel said.
Lina notices that he is carrying Amelia. "What happen to Amelia anyway?"
Garv notices Phibrizzo is beginning to come to and says we can discuss later we need to get out here quick.
Lina agrees well lets teleport out here Garv. That way he can't follow us besides Amelia needs to recover.
Garv quickly gathers everyone up and teleports them off to an island. Lina looks around and wonders where she is, then turns to Garv. "Where is this place?"
Garv says "This is the island of the deep sea Daluphin."
Lina gasps. "What!?! A Mazoku!?"
Garv shakes his head. "It's not what you think. Quickly. We must go to her castle before the hellbrat can discover us. Her castle is the only place he cannot come."
Lina looks a little confused What do you mean by that Garv?"
"I will tell you later once we get to the castle we can rest up there and get something to eat." Garv says. Well just hearing that word cheered up Lina. "Well then lets get going I am hungry."
They begin to chase after Lina as they make their way to the castle. Garv opens the door to the castle and everyone steps in and looks around. Garv breathes a sigh of relief. "Okay. He won't be able to get here, but if he finds out that we're here he might try to get someone else to break in."
Lina jumps up and down. "FOOD!! FOOD!!! FOOD!!!!"
Garv sweatdrops. "Allright." He opens a door and there is a dining hall. "That's where you're going to eat as soon as I find my sister."
Lina suddenly stops. "Hey, if you five mazoku are all siblings, how come she blocks Phibrizo out?"
Garv sweatdrops. "Well, that story goes a long way... Phibrizo has played some interesting tricks on her too..." Lina sweatdrops, then remembers food and rubs her hands in anticipation again.
Meanwhile Zel is taking care of Amelia making sure is warm enough. She is beginning to recover. Zel notices this and says "Well I see you are looking better."
Amelia looks at him "yes I am but what happen."
Zel answers "Gourry and I found you unconscious in the snow."
"What happen to you please tell me."
Before she could do that Lina comes into room "Hey Zel if you want to eat you better come now."
"Amelia you are looking better we are about to eat so come on you two."
Zel looks at Amelia. " Do you think you can come eat? You can explain over the table."
Amelia nods slowly. Zel carries Amelia to the dining room. When Lina and Zel and Amelia get back to the dining room, Garv is explaining something to a blue haired lady and Gourry is looking confused. He looks at Lina and whispers. "I think that lady is... whoever owns this castle."
Lina looks to Gourry "Of course she is the one who owns this castle after all she is Garv's sister. Anyway lets eat I am hungry. "So Amelia can you tell us what happen to you." Lina asked.
Amelia looks at Lina and says "Well I found Phibrizzo and you will never guess who he is was talking to."
"Well who come on Amelia." Lina reponsed.
"He was talking to Zelas." Lina looks in shock did you just say Zelas.
Garv overhears that goes over to the table "So Phibrizzo was talking to Zelas well I should have known that we couldn't trust that him."
Lina looks at Garv then to Amelia please continue.
