*Zelgadis? Say, Mewtwo, isn't that the name of-?*
/Yeah, the Ivysaur. I guess he knows Gordon./
*By the way...*
/Yes?/
*WHY THE HELL DID YOU SAY I WAS HUMAN!!*
Mewtwo grabbed his head as he fell over. /Why, God, why?/
Zelgadis stared at them.
They may not be Lina, or Gourry, but they're strange enough to have been part 
of the group.
"Hey, Zel- Can I call you Zel?" Scimitar asked.
Zelgadis sighed. "Why not? Everyone else seems to call me that."
"Ok," Scimitar began, "Zel, you wouldn't happen to know of a man called 
Gordon Gabriev, would ya?"
Zelgadis Graywords rarely ever fainted from sheer fear. The concept of there 
being more Gabrievs, particulary if the idiocy was heriditary, accomplished 
this.

"So, let me get this straight," Zelgadis asked, "you've heard of the name 
Gabriev, and have actually survived the Dragon Slave," At this point, Zel 
gave Scimitar a disbelieving look.
"Um, dumb luck?" Scimitar nervously said, scratching the back of his head.
"Anyway, you know of the Dragon Slave, and you've heard of the name Zelgadis, 
but Lina Inverse, Amelia, and L-sama, don't strike up any memories?"
"None what so ever." Scimitar said with a sheepish grin. *Hey Mewtwo, what's 
in his head?*
/Well, memories of strange battles, creatures that make Zoanoids look like 
creampuffs, a flat chested girl who instilled fear into everyone's heart, and 
a hatred of Xelloss that I rather like./
The three entered the Nekohaten. Already, Shampoo was at their throats.
"You leave without paying bill." she said in her heavily accented Japanese.
"Um, I think my friend covered it?" Scimitar said, hoping that Gordon was an 
honorable enough man.
"Aiya! That right. Other boy pay for his food."
Scimitar, Mewtwo, and even Zelgadis, who noticed that the girl looked too 
much like those priestesses that fought with Lina.
"But you no pay."
They all facefaulted.
"Ah, miss?" A familiar voice called out.
The others stared in shock as Xelloss paid their bill, finishing up with a 
happy, "Keep the change!"
Zelgadis quickly recovered from the shock. "Xelloss! You Mazoku scum! What 
the hell have you-?"
"Zelgadis?"
Scimitar and Mewtwo jumped back as Xelloss grabbed Zelgadis in a bear hug.
/Should I, even comment?/ Mewtwo asked with a sweatdrop.
"I'm, not entirely sure." Scimitar answered with a sweatdrop of his own.
"What the- Goddamn you, you fruitcake, let me go!" Zelgadis yelled.
"But, I thought you were dead." Xelloss said.
"What?" 
"You, Lina, the others. All wiped out by-"
"By, who?" Zelgadis asked, along with Scimitar and Mewtwo.
Xelloss regained his composure, and said, "That is a secret."
The other facefaulted as he disappeared.
"Well, somethings never change." Zelgadis said from the floor.
