"Tsk, tsk, tsk....Why Tendron, since when do you take orders form a mazuko newbie?"
Everybody, including the arrogant mazuko, screamed "XELLOS!!!!"
"Oh my, did I interrupt something?"
"NAMAGOOOMMMIIII...!!!"
"We could use a little help here Xellos." Val retorted as he refrained his favorite pretty golden dragon from whipping out Mr. Mace and smash a certain trickster priest's ever smiling face.
"Stay out of this, Zelas' General Priest. It's none of your concern what I do here." Tendron snarled.
"On the contrary....I'm taking orders from my Dark Lord and Master."
"Oh...and what might be your orders then, Trickster Priest?"
"Sore wa himitsu desu." Xellos did his usual trademark. Tendron screamed from anger. She gave Xellos many attacks and he dodges them. The battle looked very similar to the same one when Xellos fought with Seigram many years back at Kataarat Mountains when his mistress assigned him to assist the four orignal Slayers gang, (an: 1-sorry if I misspelled his name and 2-I lack imagination when it comes to battles) having both mazukos disappear. After a short while, Tendron reappeared in front of the now six Slayers.
"Now that the aggravating pest is gone, I can finally dispense all of you." As she gathered strength, a blast came from beneath her feet, an evil, ugly green energy surrounds her, growing rapidly at her will.
"Filia, Sylphiel! Get ready to slap on a Protection Spell once I cast a shield." Amelia commanded. No soon when Amelia finished talking, they noticed she was ready to hurl a large black and green ball of miasmatic energy at them
"DEFENSE!!!" The other two girls reinforced Amelia's white defensive shield while Gourry and Aez saw Val loosing balance, they caught hold of Val, one on each of his side before he fell to the ground.
"You're not completely healed are you?" Aez asked, the ancient dragon could only nod no.
Just when the wicked monster threw her black magic, she screamed and fell to the ground. The crew prepared themselves against the attack. It hit, making them lose their balance, fortunately for them, it wasn't as powerful enough to penetrate thru the shield. Once they stabilized and the smoke cleared, they noticed the fallen mazuko, dying and a standing grinning mazuko next to her. "Tendron, Tendron, Tendron.....you should know better that I would not fall for the same tricks that ol' Seigram tried on me. I am, after all, the greatest Trickster Priest that there ever was and ever will be."
"How did ::cough:: you....?"
"Well now....that's a secret!"
"Daa...mmnn.. yyouuu Xell..os..."
"In case you haven't notice, my dear...we are mazukos...aren't we already damned?" After that remark, Xellos lifted his staff "So there for..." giving her a wicked smile and stabbed Tendron's chest from the sharp end.
"NOOO...AAAHHRRGGHHH!!!!" After she screamed, black and yellow-green smoke like blood splattered. He withrew his staff and casted his black magic spell attack that look similar to burst rondos only these were black and purple coned spikes. Tendron send out her last inhuman scream then death took over her.
"Is everyone alright?" Xellos questioned. They nodded their response. "Good! Hurry!!...Lina-chan and Zelgadis-kun are in grave danger back at that fishing spot. I will meet you there." he teleported himself to where the prey and the predator are at.
"Going somewhere?" Xellos stood just behind Hallis.
"Out of my way, Xellos. Miss Inverse is coming with me. She is mine!" Hallis snarled as he gripped her arm tighter.
"Xellos?!" Lina feigning shock, with her tear stricken face,she turns around and saw him giving her a reassuring smile only to frown when he saw the sleeping hero lain next to a tree. "Hallis, I said let go!" she snatched her arm back.
"Why, Hallis...I didn't know you knew Lina-chan!" recovered his usual smile.
"What does it matter to you, Trickster Priest?" he grabbed her left arm as his slitted violet-blue eyes narrowed hatefully at Xellos.
"Sore wa himitsu desu!" While the two were talking, Lina took the opportunity to think of a spell..
"Fire..." Hallis heard the first word and hastily grabbed her free arm, making her lose concentration on the spell.
"Not so fast, my Firestarter." his face is almost to where he could kiss her, as a matter of fact, he gave her a quick peck on the lips. At first she was surprised and then...oh...she got pissed.
"LET GO OF ME BASTARD!!! YOU ARE FAR WORSE THAN THAT FRUITCAKE NAMAGOMI !!" her eyes glancing at Xellos' direction.
"Lina-chan, I'm hurt...only Filia-chan can be the one to call me namagomi."
"He is a fruitcake, isn't he?" Lina nodded yes.
Sweatdropping, he stepped in "I would do what Lina-chan say, Hallis or..." one of his amethyst mazuko eye opened, leering at the 'newbie' "..... you might regret it." the purple hair demon lifted his staff with his crimson jewel pointed at him, the hazelnut hair monster pushed the redhead behind him but not before he uttered a few words at her. Another sickly green glow on the heroine, Lina closed her eyes, once it's gone she..
"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS??!!" She seen the same chains as Zelgadiss had.
"It's only to detain you from escaping and from casting any other spells, my dear." She decided to test his theory out.
"Oh yeah, we'll see about this..Flaaare Arrow!" nothing. Okay...no spells so I better... she decided to run however she couldn't even move an inch. "Why did you do this to me?!"
"I have already answered your question earlier my dear sorceress." never leaving his eyes from Xellos. As the two mazukos were ready to fight and the sorceress to busy trying to get rid of her bonds, the twitching and now awaken chimera were oblivion to them.
