Maybe at one moment the creature was certain on why it wanted to kill Zelgadis but now it wasn't. Why do I want him dead? It knew that it felt some sort of hatred towards Zelgadis, but it was uncertain on what the source of that anger was. Though it was aware that the anger it felt towards the once cursed chimera was nothing more then indirect anger. But to whom the creature truly felt the anger towards eluded it. Sometimes images would flash through its head on who the anger was truly for but they were too brief for it to make sense out of it. But then it's not like it cared much at all if it knew the identity of the person for which its' anger was for. All the creature wanted was for it to end. For everything to end and stop going on like it was.
So in it's confusion it still stood there staring at the machine, unsure of what it was going to do.
He sat back for a minute trying to decide on what method he was going to try this time to kill her. The thought hadn't occurred to him that maybe his time was short and that he shouldn't waste so much time thinking of trivial things. Well actually a part of his mind did remind him of that put he silenced that voice. I am invincible and no one can stop me from getting what I want! He pulled out the dark blue crystal that he kept inside his cloak. I certainly proved that with you huh fruitcake? Again Gar resisted the urge to smash the crystal into many pieces.
Even though Gar and Zelgadis shared similar hatred for certain people, the hatred Gar felt for Xellos was a bit different. He loathed him because him and Xellos were so similar. Monsters and demons, they are both children of chaos and destruction. Only monsters are supposedly superior to other evil creatures. Gar hated that. He didn't want to think of himself as being lower then anyone. He didn't want to believe that they could be those who are stronger and powerful then him. That's why Gar took great satisfaction in the fact that even in his less then tangible state he was able to trap Xellos and have him reduced to a hapless weakling trapped in his prison. Now just think about it Zelgadis, if you had let me have control before then I could have easily had Xellos out of our hair. But no you always had to be power hungry and always have control over everything! Using me like I was something lower then you. Well how does it feel to not be in control Zelgadis? How do you feel knowing that you are going to loss practically everything and there's nothing you can do about it? Gar laughed darkly. He had made his decision on what he was going to do.
In Zelgadis' deep void something stirred in the back of his mind. A warning that danger was lurking about. But Zelgadis in his intoxicated state ignored it and continued to drift in and out of sleep.
The creature inched closer towards the machine that held Zelgadis Greywers' body. Its' grip on the sword was tighter then ever. It had made its decision and was going to go through with it when it felt a strange jolt through its' body.
What is going on? What is Gar doing? The creature stumbled backwards disoriented from the strange jolt. Gar is attacking Lina again through her dreams. And there's no one to stop him this time. The creature's eyes widened. Without much thought the creature disappeared from the lab and reappeared in Lina's room. Gar wasn't in view but the creature knew where he was. The expression on Lina's face made it clear enough on where Gar was and what he was doing.
Chanting in an ancient language the creature circled around Lina's bed placing items on the floor around Lina's bed.
Lina felt cold again. She was walking around in a dark colorless forest with shadows that surrounded her from all directions. Where am I? How did I get here? Lina shivered and her teeth chattered from the freeze. What I wouldn't wish for a fire around here...
"Is that what you really want?" A dark voice cackled.
Suddenly fire surrounded Lina trapping her. The wall of fire around her raged with only no hints of it dying down.
Even in this inferno Lina desperately shivered. The fire was blue not red and it emitted off cold instead of heat.
The creature finished its' chanting and light appeared all around in Lina's room. And just as quickly as the light appeared it disappeared. It appeared that nothing had changed in the room. All the furniture and other items in the room where still in its place. Nothing was missing or nothing had been added. The only real difference was the expression on Lina's sleeping face. Her face instead of being one that expressed pain and fear now looked to be the normal expression of someone sleeping.
That should take care of Gar tonight. He shouldn't be able to bother Lina again tonight. The gods know that she deserves a decent night of sleep. I just hope Gar isn't aware who kicked him out of the dream. The creature cackled itself and proceeded to increase the powers of the protection barrier to extend for the whole room making it impossible for Gar to re-enter the room at all. While the creature tended to the barrier a thought had crossed its' mind. Why did I save her? At first the creature just brushed it off but after a while started to give it some thought. Because my business is with Gar and Zelgadis, Lina shouldn't be involved. And I did decide that I was going to meddle in all of Gar's plans. The creature smiled as it finished its work.
The creature went back to the lab and stared at the machine again. Yes it had made its' decision. But it wasn't to kill Zelgadis. Killing Zelgadis is one of the things that the creature suspected that Gar wanted and the creature didn't want Gar to get his way. That and its' reasons to kill Zelgadis weren't great enough that it would actually go with it.
"For now we're on the same sides I guess." The creature put its' hand to the machine and bowed to it. "But if I were you Zelgadis Greywers I'd come back alive because I can't promise to do these favors you if you are dead." And it left with that as a parting note and disappeared and reappearing elsewhere to tend to other manners.
Gar wanted to hit something. He was one very angry demon.
He had been so close to finally doing away with the bothersome Lina Inverse that annoyed him so much. But then all of a sudden he thrown out of the dream and back into his secrete dwelling. Gar tried to get back as he tried to reappear back into Lina's room he felt a large shock and was repelled back to where he was before.
But that wasn't the worse of it. After Gar was sent back he realized that more then half his energy had been drained from him.
"Who the hell did this to me?!?!?! And just how were they able to do it?!?!?" Gar yelled his questions out to the wind with no one to answer him. "How was it possible for someone to do that to me? Zelgadis, Lina and that old man are the only ones who know of my existence. No one should have been able to stop me!!!!!"
Gar was angry, and his eyes shone with bloody vengeance. Someone was going to pay for interfering with his plans.
