Before me, there stand no adversaries!

Behind me, there are mountains of treasure!

I'm dignified and arrogant!

Race forward forever and ever!

While tormenting some pirates,

we were reunited with Amelia and Zelgadis after a long time apart.

However, they had brought an old, stupid guy named WiZer along,

and of all things, he tried to arrest me!

But even more surprising was the mysterious puny animal

that blew away the weird tank the old guy brought out!

A- A Dragon Slave?!

H- Hold on! What about my big scene?!

"Because - You're Lina Inverse, That's Why!"

What the hell's going on, why, and how come?!

I'm afraid we don't know what's going on, why,

and how come things happened as they did...

Y-You tell her something, Mr. Zelgadis!

No, not even I know who did what where and how...

Quiet, you!

N-Now, Lina. Don't be so angry.

Y-Yes, please continue...

Mr. Gourry! Don't abandon us like that!

Sorry. Have to.

Did you not hear me tell you to shut up?!

S-Sorry!

Alright, let's do this one question at a time!

First, how are you connected with that Wizer guy who wanted to arrest me?

Well, it all began when the Ruvinagald Kingdom

made an official request to the Seyruun Kingdom,

asking for your whereabouts.

An official request from the Ruvinagald Kingdom?

There was nothing we could do!

You can't simply refuse a formal request between royal families,

and since I have close ties with you, the job fell to me.

And her father asked me to come under the pretext of being an escort.

No, perhaps I should call him the surrogate king in this case.

In any case, it was an official request.

The objective was a state secret, so he didn't tell us what it was.

And that didn't send up any red flags for you?

Why would an entire nation want to bother

with a simple, beautiful genius sorceress like me?

- Well, that's because... - Because why?

B-Because the Seyruun council deemed that you, if anyone,

could cause an accident on the national scale, for better or worse.

As such, apparently the Seyruun royal family decided to stay one step

ahead with their intel, should such a disaster be on the horizon.

An accident on the national scale?

Maybe I'll destroy it when I'm there next.

Seyruun, that is.

W-Wait! That really would turn into a national incident!

You can count on it!

And while I'm at it, I'll crush the Ruvinagald Kingdom, too!

H-Hold on, Lina! Not so fast!

You can't do that either! Ms. Lina! Hold on!

I heard that, Lina Inverse.

I, Wizer Freion, clearly heard your plan to overthrow the kingdom!

Another complication...

No, it's not what you think! It was only a figure of speech!

No, no, I heard it with my own two ears.

No, no, no! It's not like that! Really! Just calm down, old guy!

Lina Inverse, you're under arrest...

Shut yer trap!

Anyways, let's hear the whole story!

If you can give me a good reason why you have to arrest me,

then I, Lina Inverse, will neither run nor hide.

O-Okay...

In return, if you say it's just an inspector's hunch

or that I should be arrested just because I'm me, I will go berserk.

- Got that?! - A-Alright...

It all started with this.

You mean this turtle thing?

Actually, I suppose I should say "these."

These magic tanks the Ruvinagald Kingdom recently developed

are being destroyed one after the other.

Hold on! Are you trying to say I'm behind it?!

- Yes. - Get real!

You have enough evidence to suspect her, I hope?

But of course. It's because...

Because?

Because she's Lina Inverse.

That again?!

You must really want me to go berserk!

Darkness beyond twilight! Crimson beyond blood that flows!

- Stop! Stop, Lina! - lf another Dragon Slave is used here...!

Don't stop me!

Sometimes you have to fight, even if it's against an entire country!

Let go!

That's it! That spell is one piece of evidence!

You mean the Dragon Slave spell?

You saw for yourselves that ordinary attack spells

don't affect those magic tanks one bit.

Meaning only someone who can use Dragon Slave-level spells can destroy them?

But that doesn't mean that I did it!

The Dragon Slave is practically like the stuff you learn in bridal training!

Where does that custom come from?

Anyway, just because I can use the Dragon Slave

that doesn't make me the criminal, and I'm not gonna stand for it!

On top of that, your savagery in happily using such dangerous spells,

your disregard for the trouble you cause others around you,

and your irrational attempts to simply laugh everything off!

It was because of all these added together

that Lina Inverse was deemed to be the perpetrator!

- Oh... - I see.

I guess it can't be helped.

H-Hold on, you guys...

Can't say I blame them, with all that circumstantial evidence...

Besides, I guess it's only natural when you consider her past precedents...

What do you mean by past precedents?

Lina...

W-What's going on, Gourry?

I'll wait as many years as it takes.

I will wait as long as it takes until your sentence is up.

I'll even have a yellow handkerchief out for you...

Enough with your stupid nonsense!

Besides, you know full well I didn't blow up this latest turtle!

Dragon Slave!

Oh, actually, she might be right!

The "Lina Inverse" theory was so convincing

that we were nearly fooled into believing it.

Yes, yes!

Don't forget the most important thing!

You saw the turtle get blown up too, old man!

Don't be silly!

It goes without saying I was knocked out after the Z Mark 1's attack!

Don't sound so boastful about that!

Mega Brand!

C'mon, we gotta pick up the pace before the sun sets!

Yes, I know...

But is there really a mysterious small animal

capable of using the Dragon Slave?

I find it hard to believe, myself!

Stupid mystery animal, stealing my big scene!

She's got a serious grudge...

So that's her only concern in the end, huh?

In any case, I'm going to really prove my innocence!

So, where are we headed anyway?

Oh, there it is at last!

I'm Inspector Wizer Freion.

I hereby request assistance with my investigation.

Yes! I will notify the commander immediately!

This place means serious business...

A single fortress with so many weapons

must mean something happened with a neighboring country, or...

Or?

They may plan to start something soon.

This way.

I apologize for the trouble, Commander.

Not at all. My superiors have told me to lend you assistance.

Hey, Lina. Is there something here?

Yes, I forgot to ask earlier, but what kind of place is this?

Remember what the old guy said earlier?

He said there's been a string of magic tanks getting blown up.

Yes, he did say that.

So the easiest and only way to prove my innocence

is to catch the real culprit.

Yes, that's true...

So I had him lead me to where the next attack might take place.

I see...

But why is this criminal doing this?

Please be careful. The door is about to open.

A c-cow?

Now there's a cow one?

Someone has a very poor sense of design.

You can only say so much about these things' designs.

Anyway, we're stuck guarding this cow for a while, so...

Look out!

Old man! Run!

I know.

He tried his hardest to get caught in it...

I told him to run away, but he just had to act cool...

An enemy raid?!

Medic! Tend to the commander!

Never mind that. Look there!

Zel! Amelia! Help the people caught in the blast!

- We're going after that thing! - Right!

- Got it! - Leave it to us!

Alright! Where'd you go, you puny animal?!

Hey, Lina! Don't be reckless! That thing's no ordinary enemy!

I'll be as reckless and crazy as it takes to catch it!

Van Rail!

You cheeky little punk!

Freeze Arrow!

Flare Arrow!

What're you doing?! That's dangerous!

What're you doing?! That's dangerous!

You're the one who attacked first, pipsqueak!

Only because you tried to frame me, you puny animal!

- Who're you calling "puny animal"?! - Who're you calling "pipsqueak"?!

W-What the...?

I almost got blamed for the string of explosions, thanks to you!

Don't blame me! It's your fault for acting the way you do!

You wind up in trouble only because you do that stuff normally!

That's right!

- You butt out! - Yes, ma'am.

Whatever the case, the only way I can prove my innocence now

is to catch you and hand you over!

Sorry, but there's still a lot I have to do!

I can't let myself get caught in a place like this!

No, I'm sorry, but I don't have time to play along with you!

I'll catch you by force, if I have to!

Go right ahead, if you dare!

Here goes! Damu Bras!

Like that'd really hit me!

You nimble little freak!

Diem Wing!

Is that all you got?! Windy Shield!

Careful. He's still around here somewhere.

He's a really experienced fighter!

It would seem so.

There!

Diem Wing!

l-Is he really human?!

Yikes! Diem Wing!

Behfis Bring!

Lemme out!

Honestly, now. I know you're using swords you're not used to,

but don't you think you've been especially out of form lately?

Sorry...

If you wanna turn tail and run, this is your last chance!

Don't be silly. I'm not a puny animal, after all.

I'm not the one with a tail.

You should be fine now.

T-Thanks...

Oh, looks like you're awake.

W-What in the world happened?

You were caught in the magic tank's explosion and passed out.

I see... Then what happened after that?!

Lina and Gourry went after the culprit.

Dimil Arwin!

Aero Bomb!

Elmekia Lance!

Diem Wing!

We're going to get nowhere just firing trivial spells back and forth.

That said, he's quicker than I am...

...and I doubt I can catch him off guard with a strong spell.

Dammit, you puny animal, how dare you cause me such trouble?!

Freeze In!

Ferious Breed!

What was that spell?

Oh, just wait a bit. You'll find out soon.

They're going to eat me!

Oww... Darn it!

It was just a spell to summon birds,

but it's a lot more effective against puny animals than I thought!

You look good like that! I guess it just proves you're a puny animal!

You... You keep calling me a puny animal!

I didn't wind up like this because I wanted to!

Oh, is that so?

Besides, you're not that big yourself!

Height-wise and chest-wise!

Come again?!

Rather than big or small, they're more like..."scrawny"?

Scrawny?

That or "flat."

F-F-Fla...?

Oh, you shouldn't have said that!

I called you a flattie 'cause you're a flattie!

You're the Flattie King of the Flat Kingdom,

here to spread flatness everywhere!

F-Flattie King?!

If you're going to go that far, then I'm not gonna play nice either!

W-What is this?

It looks like you can use the Dragon Slave too, but...

Lord of Darkness of the Four Worlds! I call upon you!

Grant me all the power that you possess!

M-Magic amplification?! She's able to do that?!

Blam Gush!

Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows.

Buried in the flow of time,

in thy great name, I pledge myself to darkness!

W-W-Wait! If that's your plan, then...!

Come, light!

All the fools who stand in our way shall be destroyed

by the power you and I possess!

The original! Dragon Slave!

A Dragon Slave?!

What in the world...?!

Lina did this?

Lina!

Gourry, you only crawled out just now?

What did you do?!

Just a little Dragon Slave with a bit of a magic boost.

A bit of a magic boost?

You idiot! I thought I was going to die!

- That's...! - The Sword of Light?

H-How do you have the Sword of Light?!

That's a replica for ya...

l-It's a replica?

Yeah.

I made this Sword of Light and those magic tanks as experiments.

W-Who are you?!

No, who are you?

You have those talismans and know about the Sword of Light...

I'm Lina. This is Gourry.

We're basically just a wandering sorceress and swordsman now.

I'm Pokota. Just think of me as an ordinary puny animal.

An ordinary puny animal, huh?

Anyway, I gotta somehow stop the guys who stole my magic tanks!

Stole? What do you mean?!

Lina Inverse!

You did it again! This time you really are under arrest!

l-It's not what you think! It was, uhh...!

- He's gone! - Huh? Where'd he go?

Oh, come on! Gimme a break, will you?!

Hey, you! Ordinary puny animal!

- You're under arrest! - In your dreams!

Are you trying to pin those on me too now?

On the next Slayers Revolution:

"Chase - The Endless Pursuit!"

If you don't watch, I'll go berserk!
