"Oooohhhh!! Do I have to wear this Misato?" Lina asked for the
third time.
"Yes. You do." Sighed Misato.
"But..."
"Listen, Lina, you have to go to school with Shinji, ok?"
"BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!!"
Hehe.. I was kinda thinkin' bout the plug suit ^^
Wonder what the reaction will be then.. IF we get that far..
"Is there something wrong, miss Inverse?"
Everyone stopped laughing. Lina sighed as she stood up.
"Yes. You are boring me out of my mind!! Do you realize you've said
thirteen, THIRTEEN TIMES, that the second impact was caused by a
large meteorite!!"
"So what's your point, miss Inverse?"
GAh.
Lina was starting to turn red.
The teacher walked towards her. "You cannot abandon class!"
"Shadow Snap!" Out of no-where Lina pulled out a small knife and
threw it at the teacher's feet. That stopped him cold, as everyone
looked at her in surprise. She smiled and left the room.
...
Well.. better than "Dil Brando or..
Kinda scary if she's been powered up alot.. say, stronger than
copy Rezo..
"Are you hungry?"
Is ocean wet?
"YEAH!! LET'S EAT! Oh... wait. I don't have money." Lina looked down,
beaten.
"Come. I'll pay." Rei said. She didn't know why, but she wanted to
learn more about Lina.
Lina and Rei were seated in a small table talking, well Lina talked
and Rei answered with one syllable words, when Shinji found them.
He grabbed a chair and took a seat.
Shinji left school? hmm.. how.. Un-Shinji
"Hey, Shinji! Good to see ya around here! How was class?" Lina asked.
"Well, the teacher couldn't move, so everyone just left. I spent all
morning trying to find you, in fact, if it weren't for a man that
told me you'd walked in this direction I wouldn't have found you!"
Ah!
Finally Lina stopped choking and stood up pointing a finger at the
'waiter'. "Xellos!!!"
The waiter smiled. "Hello Lina! Long time no see!"
Very proper responses, from both of them.
"L-Lina?!" he stammered. For once, in his whole life, Xellos didn't
know what to do or say. This was very much unlike the Lina Inverse
he knew... he honestly didn't know what to do.
"Xellos..." Sniffed Lina. "I'm so glad to see you..."
Urgh.. Gah.. fits.. but the consept..
Xellos' brain was in override. "Ah...ah..." Mazoku weren't trained
for this... he tentatively hugged her back.
Are mazoku trained? Maybe a different choice of words
would work better.
.
"Did you check you things, Lina?" When she nodded, he continued.
"There should have been a message sphere in there, did you find it?"
so That's what it was!
Nice nice.
The image seemed to blur for a moment, then the image of Naga was
replaced by Zelgadis.
Shinji jumped at the image of the golem, but remembering that it was
some sort of video, he quietly sat back down.
Again, Zelgadis is a Chimera. 1/3:th human, 1/3:th golem and 1/3:th demon..
Xellos sighed. "Well, some idiot had the bright idea of waking another
part of you know who. Cephid had to come back since your sister was
unable to beat him and both dragons and Mazoku started fighting all
over the world, not sparing any place. If there was space to fight, it
was fought for, they eventually made it to Sailoon, where all of us
were at the moment, the magic destroyed most of the city, the few
survivors ran to the mountains, where the altar was hidden, we went with
them, but the Dragons and Mazoku eventually found us. We had to keep
fighting for almost a day, Gourry... he stayed by your side 'til the
end, Lina. Amelia died during the battle, which enraged Zel to no end,
when the fight ended he said that he didn't have anything else to stay
for, as he buried his wife next to Gourry and Luna, then left. I never
saw him again. Before he left, we built a small shrine for Naga next
to the others."
Kinda clumsy that bit.. not the wording but the pacing.. maybe Xelloss could
take a break in the middle?
A nice compact explanation, though..
Shinji felt bad for Lina, but there was something nagging at him.
"When did all this happen? Dragons? Mazoku? Why swords and all that?"
Xellos looked at Shinji. "That is a secret."
Rei looked at Xellos steadily. "I would like to know."
"Oh well, I suppose you should know anyway. That happened before this
universe was created."
Rei arched an eyebrow. Shinji was a little more surprised.
"BEFORE THIS UNIVERSE WAS CREATED?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! HOW CAN THAT BE?"
Xellos shrugged. "That's a secret."
GAAH!
I can just barely see LoN securing Lina, but how did Xelloss survive?
And why did Lina emerge now that the world is ending?
Lina had cried herself to sleep. Xellos was a little spooked about that
since Lina had never, ever cried before. He couldn't do anything about
the conflicting emotions seeing her like that brought around.
Emotions? I guess he's not as mazoku as he used to be..
I don't think mazoku are capable of very complex emotions..
Then again, the UNIVERSE has changed. You can get away with
almost everything.
...
Then again, this IS Xelloss.. Is this the *complete* truth he's telling?
"Well, I have to go now, remember to tell Misato my message, it
wouldn't do for me to get there and find her snoring like there was
no tomorrow. Bye, Shinji."
"G'bye, Ritsuko..."
Shinji hung up the phone. Later he repeated Ritsuko's message to
Misato and went to sleep. However sleep wouldn't come to him as
easily as he thought it would.
'Before this universe was created...' he thought to himself as sleep
finally claimed him.
End chapter 2
Okay, first off, I'm sorry for that disclaimer, it seems worse than the
'Roses are Red' one.
Second, I sugest you don't try to fit common sense into my story, it...
just won't
work, trust me, I've tried.
Actually, Everything makes always sense, when you think about it really
hard.
Universe is just plain scary that way.
