Amelia was putting the finishing touches on her wedding ensemble when all hell broke loose on deck. With adrenaline pouring through her veins she leaped topside and climbed the main mast to address the masses.
"Halt villains! For disrupting one of the most important days in a young girl's life, I, Amelia Wil Tesla Seyluun, shall punish you, in the name of justice and young brides everywhere!" Amelia dived off the ship's mast, executing a perfect swan dive, her wedding dress and veil billowing out behind her like angel's wings, to land face first on deck. Gourry walked over and began prodding the young brunette with a stick to see is she was still alive. Almost immediately, Amelia somersaulted backwards, only to slip on a canapi and fall flat on her face once again. The entire audience sweatdropped.
Xellos: Well I'd consider this wedding stalled. Don't you?
Audience: nods
After a few more hours, the sun begun to set, and the red duo boarded the ship. Lina spotted her target and launched her attack. She nailed Amelia with a mighty body slam and put the sea witch into a head lock. As Lina worked out her frustrations the sun finished its decent and poor, pissed-off, Lina retransformed into a mermaid.
Amelia: Ack.. Miss - Lina - What are - you - doing?
Lina: Grrrrrr - Amelia you @#%$! How dare you! You cheated on our deal! You lousy skank! Zel was mine!!
Amelia: But.. but - glah!
Naga and Martina: Hey! Let go of our boss!
The two scantily clad villains dived at the struggling girls and an all out brawl ensued.
Unknown male: CAT FIGHT!!!
Immediately a group of young men encircled the battling females, placing bets and cheering. It was about this time that the MMM finally wore off.
Zel stared, confused, at the circle of men before dragging his protesting advisor out of their midst.
Xellos: Hey!
"Xellos, could you explain to me what exactly is going on here?"
"Eh? Don't you know? You were about to get hitched to some brunette, I don't recall ever meeting. Our dashing red head apparently knows her and she went ballistic when she heard the news. So she charged on over here, with me, some talking wildlife, and this really tiny guy, to do you and your blushing bride severe bodily harm. Then, I don't really understand the details but, Lina dearest has a tail and she, your fiancie, and two half naked chicks are going all out right there on deck." Xellos summarized. "Is that all? May I get back to the fight? I've got good money riding on Lina-chan."
Zel: Ah.. sure.
Rezo: ahem Maybe I could clear some things up for you.
Zel glanced down at the very small red priest. Shrugging, he figured it was going to be a very weird day, he picked up the priest and bade him speak.
"Well your highness." Rezo began. "Seeing as how you're completely clueless about what's going on, it seems safe to assume that you were under some sort of enchantment. One most likely placed upon your person by the sea witch Amelia, the girl you were about to get married to. Are you with me so far?"
Zel nodded, "Yes you're making perfect sense."
"Well," Rezo continued, "Lina discovered this plot and employed all our available resources to come to your aid. You see, Amelia was the little unpleasantness she encountered three days ago."
"Ah yes! I recall her mentioning that." Zel confirmed. "Now I'm beginning to understand."
"Now those bikini bearers happen to be Amelia's evil henchmen and - "
"Lina's outnumbered 3-1!" Zel exclaimed worriedly.
"Well yeah, but, Lina can take care of - "
Lina: Mega Brando!
Rezo: herself.
Naga and Martina flew far into the air and out to sea, vanishing from sight, leaving a rather beat up Amelia and bedraggled mermaid on deck. As the bride seemed only semi conscious, Lina was declared the victor by the male spectators. Money changed hands as they waited to see if the girls would 'kiss and make up'.
The prince charged into their midst concerned. "Are you all right?" And to Amelia's dismay, he knelt before the mermaid, and didn't seem the least bit interested in her welfare, at all.
As Lina nodded, Amelia began to whine about Zel's desertion, and Zel marveled at Lina's lack of legs, a disturbing moaning sound could be heard coming from beneath them.
groan
Gourry: Hey the ship's sinking!
"CRACK!"
Lina: oops - guess I shouldn't have cast that spell.
