LINA: Oh...!

FILIA: I see it! There's the temple of the Fire Dragon King! Come on everybody! We're almost there! Come on, you guys! Let's go! Hurry up! Come on, you guys! We're almost there!

ZELGADIS: Where are we traveling to in this unknown land?

Episode 6: Wandering Around? The Runaway Shrine Takes a Trip!

FILIA: If we walk along this wall here, we'll get to the temple soon! Oh... Now we can take the first step towards saving the world!

*

LINA: Oh! What's going on here?

AMELIA: We walked all day, but it doesn't seem any closer.

ZELGADIS: How much further is it to the temple of the Fire Dragon King?

FILIA: Well... Let's see now... Walking day and night at full speed, about three more days.

LINA: Okay, that's it. I'm so hungry, I can't move.

AMELIA: Oh... What a continent. It's just so huge...

ZELGADIS: We just got careless because we could finally see the temple.

LINA: Forget it... I'm not walking another step, no matter what.

GOURRY: Can't we just...camp here?

LINA: Sounds good. I'm too weak to go on, so we have no choice.

FILIA: Ah! What are you saying?! Everybody was so excited before!

LINA: That was a very long time ago! We don't have any strength left to go any further!

FILIA: But this is to save the world from destruction!

LINA: WE'RE gonna be destroyed before the world is!

AMELIA: Oh! Miss Lina! Miss Lina!

LINA: Hm?

AMELIA: I see some light just up ahead!

LINA: Huh?! Eheh! All right! A town! We can finally put some food in our stomachs!

GOURRY: Food?! All right! Food! Food! I'll take anything, as long as it's food! Lina!

LINA: Right behind you, Gourry!

LINA & GOURRY: Food! Food! Food!

FILIA: But they... They had no strength left before! Aaah!

ZELGADIS: Shall we join them?

FILIA: Um... I guess so.

*

AMELIA: Look at the size of those ruins! And this town is...really kind of small.

FILIA: This town's name is Explaina, and those ruins are its chief tourist attraction. They're thousands of years old.

LINA: Let's get our priorities straight here! Leave the ruins for later! Right now, we're here for food! Let's go! Food! Food! Food! Food! Food! Food! Food!

GOURRY: Yeah! Food! Food! Food! Food!

*

GRAVOS: We're gonna have to take care of them if we're gonna get our hands on Gorun Nova.

JILLAS: Don't worry! We'll slip 'em this.

GRAVOS: A grooly fruit! One of those can knock out a giant ogre!

*

(Lina & Gourry make general "Lina & Gourry eat food" noises)

FILIA: They're so...crude.

ZELGADIS: To put it...mildly.

LINA: Hey, Pops! Bring us the rest! Where's the rest?!

COOK: Um... I'd kinda like to close up now.

LINA (demanding): Bring the rest!

COOK: Okay. Coming right up... Oh!

(Jillas slips fruit into food)

ZELGADIS: Say, Filia. About those ruins. The style seems to suggest the Dragon Race built them.

FILIA: That's right. But the ruins are sealed now, and no one is allowed inside them.

ZELGADIS: Sealed ruins, huh?

(one track mind...)

FILIA: Huh? Don't you dare! Saving the world from the prophecized destruction comes first! Please go to sleep soon so you can regain your strength! We'll be setting out early tomorrow! And Miss Lina, are you going to eat all night?!

LINA: Hm? But we still haven't gotten the extra stuff we ordered!

FILIA: You ordered MORE?!

COOK: Okay, here you go.

LINA: It's about time!

COOK: This is the specialty of the house. Please enjoy it, and leave already!

GOURRY: Looks great!

LINA: Uwaaah!

GOURRY: Yaaah!

(Filia grabs pot)

LINA and GOURRY: Aaaaah!

FILIA: Enough already!! First of all, who do you think is paying this bill?! Me, that's who! So I'll put an end to this right now! Two can play at this game! Ngh!

LINA & GOURRY: Aaaah!

COOK: Ah... Well, I didn't mean that quick...

FILIA: All right, everyone, tomorrow's an early day for us. So, please go to sleep..now...ahh...

FAB 4: Filia!

FILIA: Oooh...

LINA: Huh? She's sound asleep!

GOURRY: Talk about being able to sleep anywhere!

AMELIA: Gee, I guess Miss Filia must have been a little more tired than she looked!

FILIA: Oh, please, Elder... May I have a raise in my allowance...?

*

LINA: Ze-el! No fair, sneaking in alone!

ZELGADIS: Lina.

LINA: Sealed ruins, huh? I bet there's all sorts of treasure in there.

AMELIA: Or maybe we'll find some way to turn Mr. Zelgadiss' body back to normal!

ZELGADIS: Maybe.

GOURRY: Uh, look, that's great, but Filia's really heavy! Uh, you'd never know it to look at her.

LINA: Well, she really is a Dragon, after all. You gotta expect her to weigh more than a normal person.

*

GRAVOS: The only one who ate the fruit of the grooly sleep tree was that Dragon girl.

JILLAS: What now, Boss?

GRAVOS: I guess we better follow 'em.

*

ZELGADIS: Hey, Lina!

LINA: Hm? What? Did you find treasure! Heehee!

ZELGADIS: Look at this.

LINA: Hm? Whoa... This is pretty impressive. So, what the heck does it say, Zel?

ZELGADIS: I don't know.

LINA: Ohh...

ZELGADIS: However... There seems to be a large room just beyond this wall.

LINA: Well, there's probably a password written somewhere in here to get into the room, if we could just figure it out, then I don't see--

XELLOS: Oh, my.

LINA: Huh? Huh? Huh?

XELLOS (with creepy surround sound effects): So when did you go from being a bandit killer to a tomb raider, Lina?

LINA and ZELGADIS: Xellos!

XELLOS: Hello! Anyway, I can't just stand by and let you take the Dragon Race's treasure! That would be wrong, now wouldn't it, Lina?

LINA: You're really one to talk. So, Xelloss, can you understand this writing?

XELLOS: Oh? You mean this up here? Hm... Oh, I see...

ZELGADIS: Well, then, what does it say?

XELLOS: It seems that in ancient times, there was a highly-developed culture in this land.

LINA: Ancient times? You mean, from the War of the Monster's Fall?

XELLOS: No, these ruins are more than a thousand years old. Built with techniques and powers from tens of thousands of years ago, this represents knowledge on a level with the Claire Bible!

ZELGADIS: On a level of the Claire Bible?!

LINA: So? So? What else does it say, Xellos?!

XELLOS: That is...

LINA: Yeah? Yeah?

XELLOS: Something I can't read at all.

LINA and ZELGADISS: Ooooh!

XELLOS: But I'm sure Filia would be able to read it easily!

LINA: That's right! Exactly! Zel, go wake up Filia right now!

ZELGADIS: Hey, Filia! Wake up! Wake up! Come on! Oh, well... Digger Bolt!

LINA: Wait!!

ZELGADIS: Let me go!

AMELIA: You're gonna kill her before you wake her up!

ZELGADIS: I thought you wanted her up now!

LINA: Well, I didn't know you'd go to that extreme!!

(spell explodes)

LINA: Waah!

AMELIA: Aaaaaaaah!

LINA: No way! Did you kill her?

FILIA: Oh... What is going on here? Oh! Where am I?

LINA and AMELIA: Whoo...

FILIA: What am I doing here?! Uh?!

LINA: What's up with Filia's bracelet? Oh! I see!

AMELIA: Hm?

LINA: The Dragon Race themselves acted as the key!

FILIA: Oh! This is no time to be talking about that! We have to get out of here at once!

(doors OPEN)

FILIA: It's too late...

VOICE: Please stand clear of the closing doors.

LINA: What's going on?

*

(Jillas and Gravos get tossed around as the train starts)
JILLAS and GRAVOS: Woah!

*

VOICE: Thank you for riding this train! Next stop: Temple of the Fire Dragon King. Please stand clear of the closing doors!

LINA: What is...happening?

FILIA: Oh, it's a disaster!!

VOICE: All aboard!

LINA: What?!

GOURRY: Hey, we're moving!

FILIA: Oh...! Without a Dragon's gem or magic, it was just a harmless ruin!

XELLOS: I see! This was a transportation system used by the Dragon Race! Well, we'll get to the temple of the Fire Dragon King immediately, won't we?

FILIA: How can you be so calm?! There are countless towns built in the path of this thing! Oh! This is going to be a disaster! Take responsibility, you...! Oh!

XELLOS: Well, I'll see you all later.

FILIA: Ooh...! I'll get you for this!

LINA: First of all, we have to get off this thing!

AMELIA: Are you sure we should?

FILIA: How can you be so irresponsible?!

*

LINA: We're jumping off!

GOURRY and AMELIA: Huh...?

FILIA: Wait, please! Listen to me!

JILLAS: Hahaha! Got 'em now, Boss!

GRABOS: Hahahahahaha! Thought you could escape us by making the ruins move, is that it?

LINA: Who'd be stupid enough to think THAT?!

(takes out bomb)
JILLAS: Now stop these ruins and give us the Sword of Light! Or else... Uuh?!
(bomb explodes)

GRAVOS: Jillas! You idiot!

LINA: All right, I guess we can fight you for a little while.

GOURRY: Yeah!

FILIA: We don't have time for that!

LINA and AMELIA: Fire...BALL!

GRAVOS: Waaaah! Huh?

(fireballs fizzle)

LINA and AMELIA: Huh...?

FILIA: Huh! What did you expect? All of your magic is being absorbed by the ruins! It gets converted to energy to make the ruins move! Why am I the only one who knows ANYTHING about ANYTHING?! Ohh...

LINA: Why didn't you say so before?!

GOURRY: Aaah! My Sword of Light!

(Sword of Light fizzles)

FILIA: Anything putting out energy will just get absorbed by the ruins!

GRAVOS: Hahahahaha! Without your magic or that sword, you guys are nothing but a bunch of wimps! We'll finish you off without breaking a sweat!

LINA: You really think so, huh?!
(punches Gravos and Jillas)

GRAVOS and JILLAS: Aaaaah!

LINA: How do you like me now?

FILIA: Miss Lina, This is no time to be gloating!

*

FILIA: Stop! Stop! Uh! Ohhh! Uh! Aaaaah! There's only one track to the temple! Ohhh...

LINA: So, it'll just take us straight to the temple! There'll be some casualties, but...

FILIA: You must be joking! We're going much faster than we should!

AMELIA: So, you mean?

FILIA: This is a runaway ruin!

LINA and AMELIA: Aaaaah!

GOURRY: Probably because it was built so long ago.

LINA: Well, that's great, but I'm outta here!

FILIA: You're going to run away? What about the temple of the Fire Dragon King?

LINA: What are you talking about? Our lives come first!

FILIA: If you insist on acting like this... I'll tell your big sister on you!

LINA: Eee! That's a low blow!

FILIA: If you don't want me to, then stop this thing right--! Aaaaaaaah! The town! Ooohhh! Aaaah!

AMELIA: We're going to crash!

LINA: Gwaaaaah! So? What do we do now?! What do we do?!

FILIA: Let us pray.

LINA: Huh?

FILIA: Maybe it will stop if we do that.

LINA: You wanna die even SOONER?!

FILIA: Please accept us as sacrifices to protect the sacred temple.

LINA: Speak for yourself! I don't wanna be a sacrifice!

FILIA: Oh, this tea tastes so nice.

(train hits town)

FAB 4: Waaaaaaaah!

(train passes through town)

ZELGADIS: Are you all right?

AMELIA: Yeah... I think so.

GRAVOS: Hey! You guys made a big mistake! Eh! Aaaah! Looks like this is our lucky day!

ZELGADIS: Ha! Silence! It's been a while since I've killed someone with my sword. It's thirsty for blood!

GRAVOS: Ah! Eck! Oh! Rf! Whoa! Whoa! Take it easy there, buddy! Hey, Jillas! Let him have it!

JILLAS: Sure thing! Bombs away!
(throws giant bomb at Amelia)

AMELIA: Waaah! Eee!

(giant bomb hovers in front of her...the train is going as fast as the bomb)

AMELIA: Oh? Oooh!
(pushes bomb to Grabos)

GRAVOS: Gyaaah! Oof! Ooh! Gyaah!

(Grabos and Jiras tumble away)

GRABOS AND JIRAS: Ooh!

(kaboom)

(rest of cast wakes up)

FILIA: Yaaaah! We're still moving! The temple... We're almost there! We're going to crash!

GOURRY: Hey, you're right. This is really something!

LINA: Oh, well. We gotta stop these ruins somehow, I guess. And that should do it! Is there some other way, Filia?

FILIA: Uh... Um, well... We'll break it.

LINA: Huh?

FILIA: If we break the device which absorbs magical energy, and...

LINA: Where is that?!

FILIA: I don't know!

LINA: Hm... Okay, then! We'll destroy everything that LOOKS like it might be it!

GOURRY and AMELIA: Yeah!

*

LINA: Oh, well. There goes another town.

FILIA: Would you concentrate?

VOICE: We will soon be arriving at the temple of the Fire Dragon King. Please be sure to collect any items you've brought with you.

FILIA: Oh, stop it, please! This is more valuable than the treasures of all the kingdoms! Aah?! We're almost to the temple! Oh!

GOURRY: Hey, we've smashed almost everything, but it doesn't look like we broke what we were looking for.

LINA: The only thing left is... Hmm... There it is!

FILIA: What? No! Not that! That is the holiest of holy objects to the Dragon race!

LINA: Sorry! Gourry, take it out!

GOURRY: Right! Light, come forth!
(blade is squiggly)
GOURRY: Aaah! This never happened before...
(starts reconnecting metal blade)

LINA: Oh, for crying out loud!

GOURRY: Aaah! Hyah! Haah!

FILIA: Oh, we'll be SO cursed now! Oh!

LINA: That must be what's absorbing the magic!

GOURRY: All right! Aah! Ohhh! Urgh, my sword can't reach it...

LINA: Oh...! If I could just hit it with one good fireball...! Uh?!

(Gravos and Jillas appear)

GRAVOS: I have an idea! Why not give US the Sword of Light and WE'LL do it?

LINA: Would you shut up?! We really don't have time for you guys right now!

GRAVOS: This isn't gonna be like last time! Get 'em!

JILLAS: Sure thing! Gaaah!
(starts throwing bombs)

L, G, and A: Uwaah!

LINA: Woah! Woah! Woah!

FILIA: Huh...? Oh!

(single frame of Filia sitting in a chair, winking at viewer, dress pulled almost entirely up legs)

LINA: Man! That was close! Those things are almost as powerful as Fireballs-- Hey! Hey! Gourry!
(throws metal cylinder to Gourry)

GOURRY: Huh?
(catches cylinder)
GOURRY: Hweh!

(Lina slides between Gourry's legs and makes silly face)

LINA: Nyaaaaaah! You think your little BOMBS can hurt us, wolf boy?

(single frame of Jillas being picked on as a child flashes a few times)

JILLAS: That does it... Ha!
(pitches bomb to Gourry)

LINA: Hey, Gourry!

GOURRY: Leave it to me! Haah!
(bats bomb at Jillas)

(bomb bounces off Jiras' face and hits power source)

LINA: Yes! All right!

FILIA: Oh...!

LINA: My power is back!

FILIA: Uh? We're still moving?!

ZELGADIS: That's because of the size of this thing. We may have cut the power, but it'll keep moving on inertia for a while longer.

GRAVOS: Jillas, you idiot!

LINA: Okay, everyone! We've gotta get out of here RIGHT AWAY.

FILIA: Get out of here? We- We still haven't stopped the ruins!

LINA: Filia!

FILIA: Uh?

LINA: You need to turn into a dragon!

FILIA: Ohhh! I can't do that in front of people!

LINA: DO IT!

FILIA: Ohh! Okay!

ZELGADIS and AMELIA: Ray Wing!

GOURRY: Aaah!

FILIA-DRAGON: The temple! The temple!

LINA: All right! I'll stop it with one shot! Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows! Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows! I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand! Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed! DRAGON SLAVE!!! Hyah!

GRAVOS and JILLAS: Uwaaaaaaah!

ZELGADIS: Did it work?

LINA: All right! Just in time!

FILIA-DRAGON: Oh! Thank goodness!

LINA: GWAAH!

(part of ruins crashes into temple)

FILIA-DRAGON: AAA--
(faints)

LINA: Aaaah!

VOICE: Final stop: Temple of the Fire Dragon King. This train is now...out..of...service...

LINA: Woah!!

*

ZELGADIS: Well, we're here.

AMELIA: Yeah, we're here. Definately here...

GOURRY: I'm amazed we're still alive.

ZELGADIS: What a mistake this was.

LINA: Come on, at least we made it to the temple of the Fire Dragon King! Know what I mean, Filia?

FILIA: Ohhh...
(passes out again)

LINA: Heheheh...

XELLOSS: Oh! So this is how it turned out!

AMELIA: Mr. Xelloss?

LINA: Filia! C'mon, Filia, wake up! Filia?

GOURRY: FILIAAAAAAAAAAA!!

*

LINA: At last we finally made it to the temple of the Fire Dragon King! So, now what are we supposed to do? I guess you'd better watch, or I'll REALLY cause some trouble! Next time: "A Peace Conference? This is the Dragon Shrine?"
