Gourry stares up at the sky. He’s spread eagle on the ground and immobile.
Gourry: Wow...look at the pretty clouds...
An especially grotesque looking cloud passes by.
Gourry: Hey! That one looks like Lina! Visions of fireballs dance through his head. Uhh...maybe not.
Suddenly, his view of the sky is blocked.
Gourry: Hey! You’re in my way!
He looks up and gawk.
Gourry: Huh?
He was tall with long dark gray hair. He wore a strange headdress with feathers on it and sported an orange robe. The strangest was his face. It looked like he had a battle with a paintbrush...and lost.
Gourry: Who are you?
Tomo: KAKAKAKAKAKA!!!!
Gourry cringes in pain. AAAAHHHH! That cackle! It was even more horrible than Amelia’s ranting! If that’s possible!
Tomo looks Gourry up and down.
Tomo: Hmm...blue eyes, long blond hair, blue armor, tall buff body...hmm...reminds me of Nakago...
Gourry sweatdrops as Tomo checks him out. Gourry definitely didn’t like that calculating look in his eyes.
Gourry: Umm...look Mr....whatever that you are, I’m kind of lost. Could you help me?
Tomo: Lost you say?
Tomo slinks toward Gourry.
Tomo: Well...that depends on your idea of “help”.
Tomo smiles wickedly while Gourry sweatdrops.
Tomo: What a hunk! I hit the jackpot today! Yessir! Who would have known I’d stumble across this tasty little morsel while setting up a trap for Soi! That slut!
Gourry: Um...you know what? Just forget I mentioned anything. I’ll be going now.
Gourry turns and tries to run for it. Tomo is too quick for him and grabs him. Gourry turns SD and flails his little arms.
Gourry: Hey! What’s the big idea! Let me go!
Tomo tightens his grip on Gourry with one arm and points outward with the other.
Tomo: LOOK!!! IT’S NAKAGO DOING A STRIP!!!
Gourry stops his flailing and looks.
Gourry: Who?
Tomo grabs a rock and bashes it on Gourry head. He watches in shock as the rock shatters in his hand.
Gourry: Smiling. Hey! What are you doing?
Tomo: Sweatdrops. Just how hard is head? Pretty hard it seems...not surprising since he just fell for the oldest trick in the book...
Tomo points again.
Tomo: LOOK!! IT’S A GIANT CHICKEN!!!
Gourry stupidly falls for the trick again and turns. This time, Tomo grabs a MUCH bigger rock and bashes it against Gourry’s head.
Gourry: Itai...
He drops like a sack of doorknobs.
Tomo looks down at the unconscious Gourry with satisfaction.
Tomo: It lacked my usual flair and style but it got the job done. OH! I’m going to have so much fun torturing him! KAKAKAKAKAKAKA!!!!
Chichiri shivers.
Chichiri: Da! I feel a strange evil presence, no da...
Then Amelia falls on top of him.
Amelia: OOF!
Amelia rubs her sore back side while she looks around frantically for her friends.
Amelia: Miss Lina! Gourry! Zelgadis!! Where are you?!?!
She run back and forth frantically, effectively trampling all over poor Chichiri.
Chichiri: Aii, no da!! Would you stop trampling me, no da!!
Amelia looks down and sees the strange monk for the first time.
Amelia: Oh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t see you!
Chichiri: Obviously, no da.
Amelia looks at Chichiri and immediately notices the strange blue hair.
Amelia: Hmm...and I thought Zelgadis had problems...
Chichiri: Sweatdrops. Why are you looking at me like that, no da?
Amelia: Oh! Where are my manners!
Amelia then promptly jumps on to a tree branch and introduces herself.
Amelia: I AM PRINCESS AMELIA WIL TESLA SAILLUNE! PROTECTOR OF THE WEAK! UPHOLDER OF JUSTICE! FOE TO ALL FORMS OF EVIL! THE FUTURE BRIDE OF ZELGADIS....
Chichiri watches in amazement.
Chichiri: And I thought Miaka had problems...da...
He listens a bit more hoping her prattling about justice and evil-doers will stop eventually. When he finally decides that the end is far away, he interrupts her.
Chichiri: Ah...that’s all good and everything, no da...but could you please tell me why you fell on my head, no da?
Amelia: Well you see...
Then she proceeded to tell the story in a very lengthy and convoluted way. Chichiri instantly regretted asking the question but listened patiently anyway. After a while he got the gist of it:
Bad Trickster Priest + The Universe of the Four Gods + Amelia & Friends = Migraine
Chichiri was desperate for some Prozac. Just how did you think he maintained his sunny disposition?
Amelia: Please! You have to help me! Who knows what kind of trouble my friends will stumble across without my guidance!!
Lina is covered in soot and is exchanging curses with Tasuki.
Lina: You worthless piece of @^%$#^!!! You call yourself a bandit! Go back to sucking on your mommy’s tits!!
Memories of his overbearing mother and sadistic sisters wash over him. Oh, the horror...
Tasuki: What the @%%&$ did you say to me?!?! Eat fire, you flat-chested little ^$%$!!!
Zelgadis tries desperately to escape the lingerie store as Nuriko holds him still. Nuriko spots a cute little purple teddy.
Nuriko: OH!! Isn’t this just the cutest!
She turns and puts the teddy against her chest.
Nuriko: What do you think Zelly-chan? Does it look good on me?
Zelgadis turn as red as a beet and babbles.
Nuriko: I’ll take that as a “yes”.
Gourry is knocked out and chained to a wall. Tomo cackles evilly as he readies his torturing instruments for the Nakago look-alike.
Tomo: This is going to be delicious! Since I can’t have Nakago, I’ll just pretend this oaf is him and do all of the nasty and sick things I wish I could do with Nakago. Life is good! KAKAKAKA!!!
Chichiri shivers again. He looks at Amelia as she stares him with big saucer eyes.
Chichiri: All right. I’ll help you, no da.
Chichiri throws his kasa onto the ground and jumps in with Amelia.
