Part 22: Lack of Sanity


The author looked at her laptop with annoyance. She was border-lining insanity due to this fic. What to write? What to write? It gnawed at her head. Pounding away like a full-blown headache. So she starts to type up nonsense hoping that it will help her think of something. Well does it help? Shut up.


Gourry was in the blissful land of sleep without a care in the world. Yes he did hear his alarm clock in his dream but oddly enough he choose to ignore it. It blared on for over half an hour and still Gourry didn't wake up. It was one of those alarm clocks that kept on ringing till someone turns it off. So then how does it only ring for a half an hour? Well just because Gourry isn't woken up by the alarm doesn't mean that everyone else in the household isn't. Jinny with bags under her eyes had stormed into Gourry's room and turned it off.

"Damn you GOURRY! AHHHHHH!!!! Because of you I awake two hours before I need to!" Jinny screamed at her brother who like the alarm clock didn't hear. "HOW CAN YOU STILL BE SLEEPING!!!!!!! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!" Jinny did a battle cry and picked up Gourry's bed and turned it over with Gourry still on it.

"Huh? What's going on?" Gourry got up from under the mess, dazed and confused.

"What's going on?! What's going on?! YOU'RE AN IDOIT THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON!!" Jinny screamed at him as she picked him up and threw him over her shoulder out his door into the hallway and smashed into the wall.

The crashing sound woke up Silas and he came out of his room in confusion.

"What's going on here? That crashing noise woke me up." At this point Silas looks over to Jinny whom Silas could see wasn't in one of her better moods. His gut instincts told him to do one thing, run.


A few minutes later Jinny had been stopped from chasing Silas around the house with piano. Silas, Gourry and Jinny sat at the table while their older brother Aaron made them some breakfast.

"Really Jinny you should really learn to control that temper of yours." Aaron said with a smile to his little sister as he placed their breakfast on the table. Aaron whom worked as a doctor and a therapist lived with Jinny, Silas and Gourry. Their parents had long since retired from their jobs and were vacationing around the world while their children lived their lives.

"Well I had a late night last night and I didn't need to be woken up by his alarm clock. Why the hell didn't you just turn the damn thing off?" Jinny glared at Gourry who was stuffing his face like he usually did once food was in front of him.

"I didn't hear it."

"What do you mean you didn't hear it?! That thing is so damned loud that it would wake anyone up!" Jinny waved her arms in the air.

"I didn't hear it either Jinny." Silas solemnly spoke.

"Neither did I." Aaron admitted.

At this point Jinny couldn't think of much else to say so she just went on eating her breakfast occasionally mumbling about something.


Silas watched Gourry get ready to head off to STF headquarters. "So what are you going to do today Gourry?"

"I don't know each day is never the same as the day before."

"But what did you do yesterday?"

Gourry stood there for a moment deep in thought.

Silas looked at his with a tired glance. "You forgot again didn't you?" Gourry nodded and Silas sprouted a sweatdrop.


Sylphiel looked around the LPD office and sighed. Her job was just as busy as it normally was but she was bored. She missed having Gourry around. She never did get around to telling him that she liked him and now she barely ever saw anything of him anymore.

"Hello Sylphiel."

Sylphiel broke out from her trance and looked up to see Gourry the person whom she had just been thinking about standing right before her.

"Gourry-dear, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at STF headquarters?"

"Nah not for a little while. I got up early so I come visit you." Gourry flashed her a large grin and Sylphiel blushed and smiled at him shyly.

"You came to visit me? Why?"

"Well I haven't seen you in a while and I wanted to see how everything is at department. Are things okay around here?" Gourry took a look around. There wasn't that many officers there and most them looked pretty bored.

"Things are a bit dead around here. But not like that affects my workload that much. It's still the same as it normally is. Are you planning on seeing Rotamis and Zolf as well?"

"Yeah are they in?"

"Yes they are do you want me to let them know that there is a STF agent here to see them?"

"Would you? That would be great."

"No problem." Sylphiel smiled and went off to Rotamis' office. Rotamis and Zolf were sitting talking about something when Sylphiel came in.

"Oh hello Sylphiel, is there something wrong."

"No you two got have a STF agent here to see you. Do you want me to send him in?"

"In a moment Sylphiel."

"Alright." Sylphiel walked off and Zolf turned to Rotamis with a large scowl.

"What are more of those STF bums here to take away more of our prized officers. What did they even do with Zelgadis, Gourry, Zangulus and Martina anyway?" Zolf wanted to hit something and Rotamis wanted to laugh out loud. Rotamis purposely didn't tell Zolf exactly what the four were doing these days.

"Hello." Gourry came in with a large smile. Zolf was going to great him once her heard Gourry's voice, but then he saw the uniform.

"STF?! You became a STF AGENT?!" Zolf was close to hyperventilating.

"Yeah of course didn't the Chief tell you?" Gourry looked at Zolf with confusion and Zolf's eyes turned straight to Rotamis.

"Rotamis you knew about this?!" Oh the shock in Zolf's eyes was very apparent, he also had a look of betrayal. At this point Rotamis couldn't help it any longer and he started laughing out loud.

"Why yes of course. Zelgadis, Martina and Zangulus too." Rotamis managed to get out after he controlled his laughing fit. Zolf on the other hand looked about ready to explode.


Gourry wasn't the only person who had troubles waking up, Zangulus groaned at his alarm clock as it stole him from his sleep. He hadn't slept that last night and his was playing a price as a result of it. Though he wouldn't like to admit it he had been scared to death the day before. Being in such a helpless situation, unable to move and then having Felmen almost kill Martina. That was the worst part, watching what happened to Martina and being unable to do nothing about it. At that moment when Felmen had pulled the trigger Zangulus wanted to rip his heart out and beat his body to a bloody pulp. That was the initial anger. But the true anger was to towards himself for not being able to do anything about it. Of course the anger was merely a cover up for his fear. At that moment he didn't know whether or not Martina had been killed or if she was still alive. Luckily she hadn't been, but still if Felmen had just aimed a little differently then Martina could have been easily killed.

"I guess Mrs. Inverse wasn't joking about how dangerous being a STF agent can be." Zangulus said bitterly to himself as he got ready to go.


Lina and Leviathan were already at STF headquarters. Of course there was a reason why they were there so early.

"What do you mean I can't make an appointment?!" Lina screamed at the receptionist.

"I'm sorry given the current situation, none of them are available to make appointments. You are going to have to come back another day."

Lina didn't say anything more and walked off grumbling to go see Leviathan.

"So any luck Lina?"

"Nope. They aren't seeing anyone. Chances are that is just a load of bull, they probably don't want to see of their agents." What Lina was referring to was the STF higher officials. Lina and Leviathan had gotten there early to see if they could book an appointment to speak with them. After yesterday's incident Lina really wanted to give them a piece of her mind.

"Given your temper Lina I wouldn't be surprised that they wouldn't want to see you." Leviathan light heartedly chuckled giving Lina a pat on the back. She merely growled at him.

"What's up with Lina?" Zelgadis inquired from afar. He had gotten there early to see if he could find a way to see his parents, but it turned out that both of them were too busy.

"She's just a pissed because they aren't letting her see the STF higher officials."

"So that she could scream at them?" Zelgadis raised an eyebrow with a small grin and Leviathan smiled as well. They both looked at Lina with their grinning faces while she just glared at them both.

"I hate you both."

"Oh really I thought you had a crush on Zelgadis, Lina." Leviathan gave her a coy evil smile while Zelgadis just blushed. Lina on the other hand smiled back at him.

"You mean you aren't certain whether I do or not. My that's sad I would have thought you would have known me better then that Lev." Lina's grin enlarge and Zelgadis laughed. Leviathan sighed in defeat.

"But what good would have it done you Lina if you had been able to make an appointment with the STF higher officials? Besides the fact that they could just as easily canceled your appointment if you had made one, but what would you have talked to them about if you could see them?"

"I'd want to get some answers damnit! I don't like doing assignments were I have no clue whatsoever on how dangerous it's going to be. These aren't like our normal assignments and before they at least gave us a bit more information. They shouldn't leave their agents in the dark like this. And why are they hell bent on making you Zel and the others red agents?"

"From you've told me Lina they don't tell their agents much anyway."

"And?"

"What makes you think that if you were able to talk to them directly that they would tell you anymore then they are telling you now?" Zelgadis pointed out with a cool logical manner.

Lina mentally kicked herself. Damnit Zelgadis is right about that. What did Lina do at this point? She growled again. And the two men laughed at her displeasure.


Blitz sat at his desk holding in hand the latest report on Luna's condition. She was still in a coma but Rezo, Filia and Xellos had managed to make some progress in isolating the problem. Unless something bad were to happen and Luna's condition would worsen all of a sudden, then Rezo might be able to find a way to cure her. The question is does he have enough time.

"This is crazy. What the hell are you up to Ozer? You can't get me so you go after my children?" Blitz said out loud. He wished he could just find the bastard and make him pay. But he had no clue where Ozer and Vernas was or what he would even do if he found them. All he knew was that he wanted to have Ozer either dead or stuck in jail with no chance of ever getting out.

Blitz looked to other report he had. It was the latest report on the Ozer DNA samples that they were examining. The age didn't seem to make sense nor did the cell composition. What they examined didn't seem possible for even science to have created let alone nature. And what was even more disturbing was the fact that it matched up with DNA of an agent in STF but thy couldn't get a proper match.

"Perhaps Ozer has a relative in STF that we don't know about. But then again who is Ozer anyway? Where did he come from? What did he really want? What is he up to? Too many questions. And whatever answers we seem to find just keep coming up with more questions." Blitz sighed. This whole situation was giving him a headache that not even medicine could get rid of.


Ozer on the other hand was actually sleeping. He was dreaming of a world of darkness, devoid of life. Not a living thing just darkness and cold dark fire that consumes all. And in that cold fire Ozer stood tall looking on his world of destruction laughing like a madman. All that remained in this world of darkness was the ashes of a dead civilization.

Ozer woke up with a smile. Yes his dream wasn't exactly logical but he did hope to achieve something close to that.
