"You think I wouldn't notice, bitch?" He asked angrily.
"Ofcourse, Xelloss. I knew you would notice, but I was hoping to fuck you before then." she smiled.
"Ofcourse, my queen.... or should I say SLUT!" He yelled as he blew another strong attack at the Filia look alike.
Filia dodged easily, and shot back at him with one of her own attacks.
"I should have known, Xelloss. That you would know this dragon too well. Although... aren't monsters and dragons not supposed to be together?" she mocked attacking the fuming Xelloss.
Xelloss heard a loud crash, and knew it was Filia. Wherever she was trapped, she was out now.
"Shit." cursed the queen.
"Royalty shouldn't use that LANGUAGE!" attacked Xelloss. He was using small multiple spells, but it would have been alot easier if her could dissapear into the astral plane.
"You're little bitch is beginning to annoy me!" mumbled the angry Filia.
"Well my lovely bitch is much sexier than you are, FAKE!" Xelloss blew another attack, but bigger, and the colour of blue. The queen simply lifted her hand and consumed it, as she prepared to give it back.
"Oh? So you admit you like this little bitch of yours? How charming." she smiled, as she attacked him with his own spell.
"Ach! Grrr.... Well atleast I know who I like and don't like. I don't like YOU!" his anger wanted more power, and when he searched for it, it was gone, away from him, and into the real Filia. All he could do was wait for her, and hope she sees that he wants her.
As Xelloss eyed the monster, he saw that the beast knew something he didn't. What could it be?!?! This lack of power was really making Xelloss pissed.
A sudden crash made Xelloss jump for shelter, as the wall beside him crumbled, with a dragon standing tall and mighty. Filia.
"Why you son of a BITCH!" yelled the queen. She grasped energy into her hands to what looked to Xelloss like a DIgger Bolt, but with much more energy.
"FILIA!" gasped Drescara, the winged creature beside the dragon.
"HIYAAAAAAAAAAA!" roared the queen, and attacked Filia, with her multiple attacks of an amplified Digger Bolt.
The power shocked Xelloss, and his eyes widened with rage. The dragon was being consumed by the queen's lightning attacks, and all she could do was wail.
Filia screamed in pain, and softened to a moan, as her large body of a dragon slowly fainted to the ground. The pain..... so awful. She never knew how much this pain would hurt....
"Filia!" screamed the shocked Xelloss. He ran over to her, and kneeled by her dragon head. He placed a hand on it, and waited. He was giving her more of his power.
How much more power can this guy give? Wondered Drescara.
Filia slowly opened her wide, dragon eyes, and looked up at Xelloss. She saw his smile, as he removed his hands. He stood up, and Filia lifted her head, ready to attack again.
"How DARE you!" yelled the annoying queen. She blasted Xelloss' back, and smiled at his scream of pain.
Filia looked frightfully at Xelloss. He was already badly hurt, but still, he stood up. She had to do something before this continued!
For the first time, she looked at herself. The queen. She was evil, with possessed eyes. The sight of herself being that frightful made Filia shiver.
The queen noticed Filia staring, and asked, "What, don't like the new you? Xelloss seemed to enjoy it."
"Yeah, for awhile." answered the hurt Xelloss. "Until I saw your true fake eyes!"
Filia didn't want to hear anymore. All she wanted was to end this insanity. End it! END IT!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" she screamed, and blasted the queen, right through the place where Filia's heart would have been.
The queen had shock in her eyes, until she slowly looked at Filia, and grinned.
"I won't be long, my dear Xelloss." she said as she blew a kiss at him with a wink.
Xelloss smirked, evily, and watched as Filia increased her attack and demolished the other Filia before her. The queen would be back, but not for awhile.
He saw her strength, and tried to see how he could use his own which he gave to her. How. How.
He looked passed Filia to the creature with folded wings, and wondered. Who's that guy? He asked himself.
Filia took a deep breath, and prepared to transform back to her human self. The fake Filia was gone, so all she had to do was ask Drescara about that dragon attack. After she transforms, that is.
Xelloss and Drescara looked at eachother, and then back at Filia. They wanted to see this!
Filia's eyes were closed, but shot them wide open when she realized two horny guys were in the room. Well hey, one of them wanted to get laid, and the other one was close enough to do so! And both of those incidents just happened to be with her! Kind of... Well, she didn't want them to get any more ideas.
She shot an evil glance at Drescara, who blushed and scratched the back of his head as he turned around, and covered his face with his beautiful wings.
One down, one to go.
Slowly, she made an evil expression on her face, and angrily looked at Xelloss.
Xelloss smiled as he watched her with open eyes. "It's not like I haven't seen you before, lovely Filia."
Filia growled, and puffed smoke, as her large head glared 30cm away from the smiling trickster.
Xelloss held up a finger, and poked her soft nose.
Filia blinked, and stared. What was the point of that? As she realized there was no point, her eyes turned from shock, into boredom.
Xelloss winked, trying to hide his blush as he held Filia's chin. "That was fun." he simply stated as he walked away towards the winged creature. "I wish it was real, though."
Filia turned her head and watched Xelloss walk away, with a questioning look on her face.
"Huh? Huh?" she blinked. What was fun? What could have been real? Her attacking that queen was real.... The only thing that wasn't was.... what Xelloss did with...
A bright blush crossed Filia's dragon face, as she closed her eyes to transform.
Xelloss kept his respect, although he was tempted... to look back at Filia. But, he didn't. Maybe after this game of this queen, he'll be able to talk to Filia some more. Maybe. But how is he supposed to get his powers back? All he could do is be a lame, magicless monster. And a monster is not a monster without his magic! .................... All he could do.... is help Filia. He's lost too much power. All he might as well do now is give her all of it. What else is there to do. Maybe, just when Xelloss touches Filia, his power reacts inside of her. ..................... Maybe. He might as well try.
His mind was clouded with ideas, and he didn't notice the winged creature introducing himself.
"Xelloss. Do you not have any respect?" asked Filia, now back in human form. Xelloss turned, and smirked. Seeing Filia now, made him feel somewhat awkward.
"What is that supposed to mean?" he asked.
"Drescara here, was trying to introduce himself." she replied, as her hand gestured towards the now folded winged creature.
"Excuse me. I have many things in my mind at the moment. Allow me to introduce myself, as well--"
"I know you. No need."
Xelloss was shocked. "Do you really know me? Or do you just know my reputation?" he asked, eyeing the creature evily.
Drescara smiled. "I know enough, Xelloss Mettalium, monster of beastmaster Xellas Mettalium, one who killed many dragon, whom my father might have known, having him being a dragon...."
A dragon as a father? Hmmm... Xelloss' reputation may be crushing this guy.
"Father who was killed by my mother, my queen." it paused, as Xelloss looked at the sad Filia.
"And?" Xelloss knew there was more, so he had to ask. And he didn't know yet was his relationship with Filia was.
The creature simply read his mind, to answer the tricksters question. "Don't worry. I won't take your lover away from you." A great spell, mind reading.
"L-Lover?!" asked Filia, blushing.
Xelloss smirked, and growled at Drescara.
"Hey, I'm a good guy, right Filia?" it smiled holding his hands up defencively.
"R-Right....." she said slowly looking at Xelloss. He was still mad at Drescara. "Hey. Xelloss. Snap out of it. He knows how we can kill the queen.
Xelloss thought, and knew he should just be pals. "Well, then. I guess it's nice to meet you, Drescara." he said holding up his hand. The winged creature grabbed it, and they shook hands as a peace treaty.
"Let's get out of this room, please." said Filia, about to grab Xelloss, but changed her mind. The same question ran through her mind. How much power can Xelloss really give her?
Xelloss answered her question with a smile, and grabbed her hand. "I don't die that easily!" he ran the shocked Filia out of the room and into the big one from before.
"Filia, first things first."
"Right. I need to know that spell." she said releasing herself from the crying Xelloss.
"Why does she always walk away......." he sobbed, as he plopped himself to the ground.
"Calm yourself, Xelloss. It's not like I'm leaving forever!"
*sniff* "Ok..." *sniff*
Drescara shook his head, and started talking to Filia.
Xelloss watched the two, and wondered. Outloud.... "Drescara.... sounds like a girl's name."
The winged creature twicthed, and glared at the smiling trickster, but stopped when Filia yelled.
"XELLOSS! DRESCARA! I'm trying to learn something here, ok?!?!" she growled.
The two guys turned their heads with a frown, while Filia thought for a second.
"It does...... sound like a girls name." she thought with her hand on her chin.
Drescara fell over, as Xelloss laughed.
"ANYways.... let's get this over with." stated the angry winged creature.
"Ok. I understand how to call upon the power, but what's the chant?"
Xelloss, very bored, didn't bother paying attention to the chant. He knew only Filia would be able to cast it, since it's a "dragons" chant. So he just started to fake a snore.
As Filia listened, her stomach sank, and her eyes turned cold, and frightened. "Oh no...."
Hours.... and hours past..... Xelloss leaned against the wall, while Filia went over the chant, as she felt power within her hands. Drescara slept, but Filia was too uncomfortable with everything to do so.
Xelloss heard Filia chanting over and over, and watched as he realized she needed more power againnst this bitch of a queen.
"You should rest." he said walking over to her. She was kneeling down, and chanting, but stopped as soon as she heard Xelloss' smooth voice.
"I can't. I keep on seeing this... this thing in my head."
Xelloss was curious, so he sat down like a little kid infront of her, and smiled, "Like what? What do you see?"
"You.... and a monster.... and--" she paused, as she swallowed hard, afraid to tell Xelloss what she keeps seeing.
Xelloss lost the smile on his face as he realized what was happening. "Please tell me, Filia. Tell me everything."
Filia took in a deep breath, and started to explain.
"I was crying, and cold. The walls were covered in blood of our enemy, and I kept on screaming your name."
"Xelloss!!! Xelloss!! Oh please... please..... XELLOSS!"
"I found you, and I found 'it'. The monster. A hideous creature, bigger than me in dragon form, and bigger than Almayce, that Overworlder.... It was a scary creature, and was attacking something laying on the ground. At first I didn't know what it was, but as I heard the last groan of pain, I screamed.
"XELLOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I cried and cried, and ran up to the creature. I chanted the spell that I didn't know before until today. I chanted it, and attacked the creature with all my power, but the creature just turned, and grinned. It was beating you even after you couldn't scream.... and I was next.
"The spell didn't work, and all I could do was wait. Wait for the same death you had, and wait to see what happens in the afterlife.
"I always awoke, or opened my eyes before I could see myself die. I didn't want to see you die..." she choked on the word 'die', because the thought was unbearable. Sure, Xelloss tried to kill Filia, a couple of times, actually... but she didn't want him dead. She couldn't think of what would happen if he was actually dead. Death....
"Filia.. I..." started Xelloss. He was shaking, and his eyes were wide in shock. He never thought of death. The most torture he's had was when Amelia, Zelgadiss, and Gourry kept singing 'Life Is Beautiful', but.... actual death. Impossible. He'd never die.
Would he?
"Are you sure that's what you see?" he asked hardly able to look at her with his open eyes.
"Yes, Xelloss. And I don't know why the spell doesn't work. I don't know what to do."
They sat quietly, and listened to Drescara sleep. Xelloss and Filia glanced at one another from time to time, but only saw misery in the other's eyes.
Filia couldn't stop seeing Xelloss' death in her head, and she occasionally cursed under her breath.
Xelloss thought long, and hard. If what Filia saw was true, which mostly always is, then Xelloss would... die? No. Sure, he's losing power, and energy, whenever he touches Filia, but, that wouldn't lead to death will it?
It will. Why would Beastmaster do this. Why would she kill her most respectful servent. Just because he fooled around with one of the God's people? He didn't even come close to doing that! Then why. Damn.
Xelloss looked at Filia, as she curled up in a ball and stated to softly cry.
Ok, Xelloss. You can figure this out.
Whenever Xelloss touches Filia, it makes her incredibly stronger, because he gives her his powers, right? So maybe if he amplifies Filia's dragon attack against this queen, then maybe that might work. But her spell is very weak compared to this queen's power. He has to give her alot of energy to actually kill this bitch. *_*
So.... if he amplifies Filia's attack, he'll complete his orders, and he'll save Filia-- but by doing that, he'll die.
On the other hand, he could not amplify Filia, and just go with what Filia keeps seeing. His death.
The choices were stupid. But he has no choice. Die truthfully, or cowardly.
Which one shall he choose? He has a feeling he doesn't like the ending to this story.
A sudden crash awoke Drescara, and shocked Filia and the still thinking Xelloss.
Xelloss looked at Filia, and her face was covered in tears. Should she really care for him that much? He's her enemy, and always will be, right? Then why does she care so much.... Xelloss doesn't want this care..... He doesn't care. Maybe he should just kill Filia. What would happen then? Yes! Will he get his powers back then?
Oh no.... he can't. Now, it's too late. He should have thought of that before! Now he can't, because Filia has more power than he does. Great. Still left with those two choices. Death, or Death.
Xelloss walked up to Filia, and stared right into her eyes. He could feel her power, and then he knew, how to amplify it. He slowly looked down, and closed his eyes.
"What's wrong? Xelloss? What's wrong?" asked Filia, still trying not to touch him. "Xelloss please! Tell me what's wrong!"
"My death..." he whispered in the loud banging of the coming monster.
Filia didn't hear him. "What? What is it?" she yelled.
"I was supposed to die after us monsters destroyed the world." he stated calmly.
Filia looked at him shocked.
"I guess I have a change of plans."
