This is not to be taken seriously and will most likely stay a one-shot story. Beware of Spoilers for those of you that have not seen all of Slayers Next.
In Rentada Castle
"Do you really think she's real," asked the princess of Skubobia.
"Of course she's real, Martina stopped by our castle asking for assistance to destroy Lina Inverse a while back. Daddy turned her down of course; there was no strategic benefit helping a member of the former royal family of Xoanna. In any case, she was always acting like she was a prissy princess or something."
Sweatdrops abounded as the princesses of the room fell from their satin covered chairs, only to be caught by specially trained servants.
"Umm...Christina? Maybe you've forgotten, but she was a princess." said the princess of some small of obscure country.
"Oh yeah... she was wasn't she. Oh well, she still acted much too prissy for my taste." stated Christina, the current heir to the royal throne of Intransia.
Claudette the princess of the Large and powerful kingdom of Yu-es-say rapped her tiny ceremonial mallet on the table to get the subject back on topic. "Ahem... my dear friends, perhaps you have forgotten why we're here. We gather every month to discuss interesting things, however prissy princesses are not one of them!"
Several prissy princesses in attendance lowered their heads and looked hurt. Their lips quivered just so and their eyes began the customary glitter and tear-up effect that was so sweet it forced most peoples' blood sugar indexes to reach danger levels.
Upon realizing their peers surrounded them they immediately stopped. Not because they feared looking childish but because they knew it would have no affect whatsoever.
"Anyway..." said Tabbetha of the royal kingdom of Brianara. "Like Christina said, Lina Inverse is real. But does that mean that everything else they say about her is real as well?"
"Umm... Tabbetha, I don't know what you've heard about Miss Lina, but pretty much everything they say about her is real." squeaked the slightly uncomfortable Princess Amelia Wil Tesla Sailoon. "And by the way, Martina married and is rebuilding Xoanna."
"Oh. Okay, I hadn't heard that Martina got married. But if she's rebuilding Xoanna then..." but Princess Kelly didn't have time to finish her verbal thought due to the other princess that bumped her way into the conversation.
"What!!?? Amelia, how would you know about Lina Inverse? You're a princess just like us; we barely leave the palace to come here; so how could you know about the world abroad?"
"uh... because I've traveled with her and she's one of my personal friends," said Amelia with a very straight face.
"Your what??!! You are friends with Lina Inverse, The Enemy of All who Live, the Greatest Black-Sorceress alive, the Girl even a dragon wouldn't mess with, the Girl who faced and killed not only Shabranigdo the God of Darkness, but also two of the Mazoku Lords: Hellmaster Phibrizo and Demon-Dragon Gaav?
"Yes."
"So...it's all true then. She really did do all of the things that Tabbetha just said?" asked a shaking Princess Veggie of the kingdom of Saladde.
"Well, I do know that she killed a piece of Shabranigdo single handedly, and she did kill The Hellmaster with a little help from the Lord of Nightmares, but it was really Hellmaster that killed Demon Dragon Gaav."
"L-L-L-L-O-O-O-R-R-D-D-D of N-N-NightM-M-Mares????"
"Yes...L-Sama. The Lord of Nightmares, the creator of All, the source from which all chaos springs."
At this point all the occupants of the room save for Amelia began quivering and shaking in fear amazed by these startling revelations. The servants appeared unaffected but that was just amazing training. Amelia's pageboy had once met Lina, so he at least still had control of his upper body.
"Ah...Hello Minna-san" came a bright voice from the doorway. "Amelia; Lina, Gourry, Zelgadis, and myself were told in Sailoon that you were here in Rentada Castle; so we came to see if you wanted to go on a quest to keep the power of the Pentasama Amulet from falling into the clutches of Darkness?
"Mr. Xelloss! Sure, I'd love to go on a quest. Give me five minutes to finish up here and fifteen minutes to gather all my belongings and we can be off."
Xelloss smiled his most sanctimonious grin; turned and left the room.
All eyes turned to Amelia.
"LINA INVERSE is HERE!!!!???" said everyone in the room. The servants had joined in, their Vows of Silence be damned.
"Yup, Miss Lina is here, but don't worry she probably won't blow anything up unless she's hungry, cranky, mad, or unless she feels like showing off. Come to think of it, there is a very good chance she'll blow something up, so you better go back to worrying again." She smiled and made her way toward the door, but was stopped when Christina asked her a question.
"Amelia, who was that Mr. Xelloss?"
"Oh, Mr. Xelloss? He's the General-Priest of the Mazoku Lord Greater Beast Master Metallium, and he's a Mazoku, but that doesn't mean he is not a nice person."
Amelia looked at Christina to see if that sufficiently answered her question. Christina was shaking like a milkshake mixer and Amelia was certain that if Xelloss was in the room right now, he'd be having a good meal.
"He's a Mazoku?" said a still quivering Christina.
"Yup!" said a smiling Amelia.
THUD THUD THUD
That was the sound of every single person in the room (excluding Amelia) hitting the floor. Even the servants face-faulted, however some side-faulted due to the fact their legs were too stiff.
"Oi! Amelia hurry up! We have to get going soon!" came the playful yet forceful voice of Lina Inverse.
"Hai Miss Lina! Coming!" said a broadly smiling Amelia as she sprinted out the door.
Yes, I know that this is a SHAMELESS plug of Slayers Pentasama.
This story may actually be included in a future chapter of SLAYERS PENTASAMA, but at this point I am unsure. If you want me to, then please email me and voice your thoughts.
Mazoku are basically demons under Shabranigdo, the Demon king who is himself under L-Sama, The Lord of Nightmares and creator of the whole world. The Mazoku feed on negative emotions like anger, fear,and hatred, that is the source of their power.
Xelloss is a special case. As mentioned earlier, he is the general-priest of one of the five Mazoku Demon Lords. He is unique in that he is both the general and priest of the Beast Master Xelas Metallium, while most other lords presumably have separate servants for each post. Hence, he is very powerful. He almost always appears as a smiling, purple-haired priest, with eyes closed. He is over 1000 years old and is stronger than a golden dragon.
You may have noticed my blending of English and Japanese words is somewhat strange. Especially when one considers that I use honorifics in one place and none in another. This is semi-intentional. I felt like doing it, and I think it sounds very good. So please do not email me about not being consistent.
This story is my third piece of 'net published work, and my second piece of Slayers Fanfiction. I have lousy grammar, but I do try. If you like my work and would like me to write more fiction, please email me and encourage.
