Fi: It's an invasion, I tell you!! O.o We're outnumbered! They're after us all!! They'll come and get us all!!! *Runs around in circles waving hands*

DFA: Who? *Sweatdrop* Who's after us, Filia?

Dynast's peace and quiet didn't last long, for Dolphin appeared on his bed as suddenly as she had vanished seconds before, "DYNAST!!!" she shouted as she poked him, "Wakey wake!!" however, the ice mazoku lord only groaned and buried himself under the covers a little more, making Dolphin give a pout before she took in a deep breath, "Dynie-kun! Zelas-chan says that L-sama will blow her up into lil, tiny, itty, bitty bits if she revives Phibby-kun!! She says Dynie-kun has to do it!!"

Her shouts had the desired effect, Dynast jumped and sat on his head, leering Dolphin and rubbing his ears, "Thank you very much, Dolphin…. I think that I've lost my hearing now <.< And no, I'm not going to revive him on my own," he looked as if he were thinking some difficult issue through, "It'll take all our powers combined to bring L-sama here."

"So?! Dolphin wanna go ask mommy!! Let's all go ask mommy RIGHT NOW!!" she said as she posed, standing on the bed and pointing at the ceiling with determination. Meanwhile, Dyanst groaned rubbing his eyes from sleepiness and waving a hand at her as if saying, `go ask Zelas too…. just in case'. To which the blue haired girl responded by squealing and running off, shouting "ZELAS-SAMA!!!" at the top of her voice.

Zelas appeared shortly after in the black haired mazoku's bedroom, Dolphin glomped around her waist, mind you, "Dynast…. you have a way of giving me a headache," she murmured as she shook her head.

"Well.... Dolphin wouldn't let me sleep!" he whined, "And she asked for Phibrizzo back in order to leave me alone! What would you have done in my case?" the silver haired lady didn't look amused as Dynast continued to bring up excuses for his train of thought, "Plus, I need help, I'm not going to call mother over and ask THE question for Dolphin, you think I'm stupid?"

The Beastmaster gave him a dull look that clearly said `yes' but then she blinked, "You mean THE question?" she gasped.

This made Dynast smirk, "My, my, Zelas, what a naughty mind.... not THAT question.... she wants to ask Mother to revive Phibrizzo, remember?"

"Uhm... yeah, it slipped my mind," said Zelas as she sweatdroped, "Well, what are we waiting for? We were going to call mother forward, now weren't we? Come on!" her enthusiasm grew as she smiled towards the black haired mazoku to her right, "But Dy-kun has to do all the talking, `cause Dolphin asked him first!!" she stated as she winked, making Dynast sulk.

"But, Zeeeelas!!" he whined, but then stopped, smirk evident on his face as he winked back at her, "Scardy cat… I mean wolf!"

Beastmaster twitched, "You and I will talk later," she hissed at him before she closed her eyes, murmuring some words under her breath, then opened them again, forming a ball of black power between her hands, which she liberated as she shouted, "MOTHER!" with all her might

The ball of black energy formed the shape of the golden lord in a few moments. She looked around and frowned slightly before Dolphin ran up to her, glomping furiously and shouting for Phibby-kun to come back.

Zelas was the one grinning now, "Mother? Dy-kun wants to ask you something!"

Dynast did a facefault, "What? Why me? It's always me!!" he said, "Oh all right.… stupid wolf <.<" he then turned towards L-sama, bowing deeply and detaching the blue haired girl from her glomp-of-death, "I'd like to ask you, if it's not much trouble, to bring Phibby…. err.… Hellmaster back, mother," he gestured to Dolphin, "She wants him back for some strange reason."

Dolphin nodded her head up and down happily, "Yes! Phibby-kun! Dolphin wants Phibby-kun back!" her mood did a 180º turn at this point, and she looked up with huge teary eyes, "Pleeeeeeeease? Pleasy, pleasy, sugar coated please with cherry on top?" she asked.

The Golden lord was speechless for few seconds, but then she eyed Zelas, "I see none of you have changed much," she stated, voice unreadable, "Fine, Hellmaster can come back," she then turned towards Dynast, "But any kind of `trouble' and he goes back into chaos," saying this, she vanished within a great big ball of black energy, leaving a VERY startled Phibrizzo behind.

"What? Who? Where? When?" asked the Hellmaster as he took a look around himself, "Why? And most importantly, HOW?!"

The blue haired girl smiled, "Dolphin asked mommy to bring you back so you could glomp people with Dolphin, Phibby-kun!!" she said.

"Huh?! NO WAY IN HELL!!!" cried Phibby as he jumped to his feet and prepared to ran away, however, he was too slow, and he found himself being glomped by Dolphin within seconds, "I dun wanna glomp people…." he whined, "I wanna cause chaos…. and destruction and…"

.

Zelas sighed and shook her head, "Gee, great, another demon to worry about, don't you just LOVE sleepovers, Dynast?" she blinked when she didn't receive an answer, "Dynast? Hey Dynast!! Answer me!!" however, the ice mazoku lord was too occupied searching his cape for something and was not paying any attention whatsoever to the hysterical silver haired lady by his side.

"Now where did I leave it?" he murmured as he searched, "Ah! HERE it is!!" he said in triumph as he pulled out cotton candy from somewhere within the deeps of his cape, "Phibs? I'll give you all this candy if you stay with Dolphin," he said in a sing song voice.

The child-looking mazoku growled, "It's HELLMASTER Phibrizzo to you!!" his eyes suddenly went starry, "Did you say candy?" he squealed, "Gimme, gimme, gimme!!" he managed to somehow take the candy from Dynast while still beings glomped by Dolphin, "Oh L-sama! CANDY!!" he chirped as he sat and quietly eat.

"Yay, yay!!" shouted the blue haired girl as she let go of him and began skipping around, "Ring around the rosey! The mouse ran down the clock!" she sang, "Phibby-kun's back! Phibby-kun's back!!"

Zelas gave another sigh as she watched all this, "Great, so now that he's back, you two can go and glomp people," she said dismissingly, looking like she couldn't care less what they did as long as it was out of her vine cellars.

"I don't care what they do," said Dynast as he waved a hand, "I'm going back to my room and rest," he began to walk away, "I think I've earned myself a bit of rest," and with that, he was gone.

The blue haired girl have a squeal of delight, "Oh! Come on Phibby-kun! Let's go bothering Dynie!!" she said as she began dragging Phibby down the corridor, only to be stopped by the black haired mazoku's shout of `I heard that!!!' which made her pout and cross her arms over her chest, "Dynie is so mean…. <.< Phibby, can Dolphin have his marble thingy to play with?"

At this question the Hellmaster's eyes became wide and he dropped his cotton candy on the floor, "Wait a minute! My MARBLES!!!" he gasped as he looked around himself in panic, trying to find someone who'd tell him where his precious toys where, but noticed that Dynast had gone away, and as for Zelas.… she was nowhere in sight, "Where are they?! I want my marbles back!! What am I gonna do?!" he wailed.

"Dolphin know!!" shouted the blues haired girl as she struck an Ame-like pose, "Let's go threaten Dynie and fetch your marbles!" she said, suddenly looking kind of evil, but all the response she got was a whinny-like `But HOW?' and so, she had to stop to think out a plan, "Hmmm.… Dolphin sure Zelas-chan knows where marbles migh-" she wasn't even allowed to finish her phrase, for Phibby caught her by an arm and zoomed down the corridors, shouting for Beastmaster to come out.

~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~(Ok.… and now that Phibby's back, let's go and check on Xel and Fi ^-^)

As they both stood in front of the crystal lined cave, Filia let go of the mazoku's arm to stroke a bit of glass showing her true dragon self on it, "Wow…. these are so cool," she whispered as she entered the cave, "Say, Xelloss.…" she turned to her side and found that he was NOT with her, "Xelloss?"

The blond heard his voice from the entrance of the cave, "Ano.… you go ahead, Fi-chan," he said in a cheery tone, "I'll wait for you here." however, it was obvious he was hesitating slightly and did not want to go in.

"But Xelloss!" she shouted back at him, "I want.…" she stopped and smirked, deciding that using another tactic would be a better idea, "Oh, fine!" she chirped, "I'll go ahead and prove to myself that I'm braver than the mazoku that.…" she didn't have to continue, for the purple haired priest reappeared by her side, frowning, one eye open.

"Low hit," he murmured as he began walking up ahead, his own true form reflecting on the walls of the magical glass-lined cave, making Filia gasp under her breath, "Yare, yare.… so now you see why I did not wish to come in with you," he said as he motioned to his reflection.

The golden dragon couldn't help it, she giggled quietly and then erupted into a full scale laughter fit, "Oh my GOD!! That's so funny!!" she managed in between breaths once she recovered herself. She then looked at Xelloss, who wasn't finding this in the least amusing, "That was why you didn't want to come in? Pfffttt.…" she said as she waved a hand, "You're so babyish sometimes!!" she mocked him, "That's not that bad! I've seen much, much worse.… silly mazoku, embarrassed of his true form…." and with that, she skipped along whilst looking around leaving him a little behind.

"What? What did she just say?" asked the Beastmaster's priest as he sweatdroped, "She laughed at my behavior instead of laughing at my reflection!" he tried to glare, but found he couldn't, and instead decided to have his own revenge `Never give a mazoku your back.…' he thought, "Fi-chaaaaan?" he chirped as he appeared above her, "I think.…" he paused, watching her blink in confusion as she observed him, "I think…. I'm gonna take your hat!!" this said, he snatched her head gear from her head and zoomed off down the tunnel, "Oh! Lookey what I found inside the helmet! Tsk tsk, Fi-chan! Naughty dragon!! You shouldn't keep things like this in here!!" (DFA: *Sweatdrop* Oh my.… I do not wish to know what it is he found inside there ^^;; *Pulls out a Xel plushie and hugs it* O.o maybe it was this he found… <.< >.>)

The blond blinked a lil bit more before twitching, "Xelloss! Give me that back right now!!" she roared as she also zoomed after him, "Gimme!" she said as she grabbed her head gear from him and set it back on her head, "You are SO childish," she murmured before turning to look at the two secret wish flowers, "They still look sad…."

"They do look kind of droopy…." said Xelloss in a low voice in response to her, "I guess I haven't tended them much these last few days," he tried to shrug the topic off, but the blond beside him would not let it stay.

She looked at him through the corner of her eye, "How do you tend them? Do you just water them and stuff? Like normal, ordinary flowers?" his response was to shake his head no, "Then what do you do to them?"

At her question, the purple haired priest adopted a thoughtful expression, "Well…. I'm not going to tell you!" he chirped happily as he winked, "However, their name should give you a clue to as what they need."

Filia blinked, then shrugged, "Oh fine, be a spoil sports," however, as she was saying this, she was grinning, for she had noticed that he had not used his normal trade mark phrase, "By the way, you forgot to say `Sore wa himitsu desu!'" she said in triumph, making him sweatdrop, "What? It slipped your mind? My, my.… coming to an old age?"

Another sweatdrop from Xelloss, "Filia-chan? That is a VERY low hit.…" he half pouted, "Mean dragon.…" his pouts made said dragon giggle as she pulled on his cloak.

"Much better!" she said happily, "I rather see you like this than sulking about some stupid reflection like before," she nodded to herself at this point, "Your sulks were about enough to bring anyone down."

"I'm always cheery," he replied as he raised an eyebrow, "Always cheery.… and if you say otherwise I'll deny it with all my soul."

Filia's grin grew wide, "Oh yeah?" she asked innocently, watching him nod slightly, "Really?" again he nodded, "Well.… let me burst your bubble, Xel-kun, but I've got…" she looked around herself and lowered her voice, "Proof of your sulky mood <.< >.>" she then brought a photo out of nowhere and pushed it into his face, "See? You in a sulk mood!! I got a photo!!" saying this, she giggled and ran off and out of the cave, leaving a very startled Xelloss behind.

"What the?!" both his eyes were open at this moment, "She doesn't have what I think I has, has she?! FILIA!!!" and with that, he too shoot out of the cave, running after the giggling dragon, and actually forgetting to teleport instead.

~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ (Anyhooow!! While these two take their time in reaching the castle, let us all go and see how Dolphin and Phibby are doing with the mission of finding the supper-dupper marbles!! ^0^ *Is having fun writing this*) ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~

Beastmaster suddenly appeared in front of the two shouting mazoku, "What?" she asked impatiently, "What do you two want now?"

"My marbles!" said Phibby with a sweet angelical smile on his face, making him look scary, for when a mazoku like Hellmaster smiles like this it becomes obvious he has something up his sleeve, "I want my marbles back!"

The silver haired lady's eye grew wide, "Ehh?! Who told you Mother gave them to- err!!" she sweatdroped as she backed away, trying to cover her error, "I mean, what marbles? I've no idea what you're talking about." However, all this was in vain.

The child looking mazoku blinked, then glared, "Give. Them. Back.…" he said in a low voice, "They're mine, not yours…." a reddish, fire like aura began to build behind him, "I want them back now! And my bracelets too while you're at it!! NOW!!" he stomped his foot and continued to glare in a scary way.

"Fine.…" sighed the Zelas, "But only if you let me keep three of the marbles," she waved an arm and summoned a bag and a few bracelets, "Is it a deal, Phibs?" she then proceeded to toss said bag up and down, catching it nicely each time, making the contents inside make soft clink like noises.

The moment Phibby saw his bag he gave a gasp and launched himself forward, "Oh! MINE!!!" he as he caught his bag. He then sat down and cooed at the bag, rubbing his cheek softly on it, "Mine, mine, mine! All mine!"

"Hey!" Shouted Zelas as she picked herself off from the floor, "Give me the three I want or I'm telling mom!" she snapped, causing the Hellmaster to look up at her briefly, sweatdrop and toss three marbles at her, "Thank you ever so much, Phibrizzo," she said as she smiled sweetly, "Who's are these? Mine and Xellie's I hope.…"

Phibby stood up and grinned, "And I quote; Sore wa himitsu desu!!" he said as he giggled.

The silver haired lady twitched, "Tell me now!" she growled, "Tell me or I'll ask mom to revive Gaav!" however, the child looking mazoku was not paying the slightest attention to her, instead he skipped around the room.

"Not telling! Nya, nya! I'm not gonna tell to whose they are!!" and this said, he ran off down the corridor.

Zelas frowned visibly, "Yes you ARE!!" she ran after him, waving a frying pan with a noticeable Dynast shaped dent on it, "Phibrizzo! Get back here! You are going to tell me whose these marbles are right now!! Don't force me to take drastic actions!" she roared at him, "I control the astral plain around here!"

The blue haired girl had stood to one side during this whole discussion, and was now smiling, "Sharing and Caring can be…." she stopped as if to think up the best word to describe it, then snapped her fingers, "FUN!! ^0^" she sang, the danced away after both running mazoku.

Phibby looked back at the Beastmaster, "NO!!" he shouted, "I'm the Hellmaster here, and I decide whether or not I tell you!!" he put his bag away and slipped his bracelets on as he ran, "Slow wolfie can't catch me! Nya, nya!! Slow wo-" his sentence was cut short when the silver haired lady smirked and waved a hand, making a giant hole form under his feet, "Wow! What the?!" he hovered ands stood in mid air over the hole, glaring at Zelas, who crossed her arms in a way that seemed to be saying `There's more from where that came from'.

It was at this moment that Dolphin reached them, and seeing the hole in the middle of the floor, she squealed, "OOOH! A HOLE!" and with that, she jumped in, only to reappear a few seconds later with a very startled reddish fish in her arms, "Fishey-weshy wants to see Zelas and Phibby fight ^-^" she said as she sat on the edge of the hole, smiling as she watched the two mazoku.

"Anyhow!" snapped Phibby when he took his gaze off of the blue haired girl, "I'm still not telling you!" he turned away as he hovered, in a childishly stubborn act, "If you wanna find out whose they are, break them!"

At this, the Beastmaster paled, "Huh? No!! What if they are MINE? Or Xellie's? Or Dolphin's? Or that dragon's girl? Or even DYNAST?!?!" she demanded, only to receive giggles from the Hellmaster as he wagged a finger at her.

"You won't ever find out then! Unless I get something I might want in exchange for the information you want!" he grinned when he noticed that the silver haired lady waved a hand and sighed in resignation.

"Fine, what is it you want, Phibrizzo?" she sweatdroped at her own question, noting that it was a very dangerous question to ask, especially to such a mazoku as Hellmaster was.

Dolphin, however snapped her fingers, "Dolphin knows what Phibby-kun wants!" she said, gaining both mazoku's attention, "A hole!! Dolphin says Phibby-kun wants a holey-hole!"

Filia and Xelloss chose that moment to appear in front of the mazoku, both looking tired from running, but apart from that, both in one piece, "Hallo!" they said in unison, then looked at each other, sweatdroping slightly at the coincidence of both their voices merging into one as they had talked. The blond then turned and blinked at Phibby, "And who is he?"

"HELLMASTER Phibrizzo!!!" shouted the child in an attempt to look terrifying and intimidating.

"Oh! That's Phibby-kun!" said Dolphin as she stood up and skipped around the Hellmaster whilst still cradling her fish from earlier, and so, ruining the moment, making Phibby facefault in midair, not to mention that she gained sweatdrops from all the present people.

Zelas tapped her foot in irritation, "Anyhow, about those marbles, Phibs?" she asked in a flat tone as she frowned, "You were going to make a deal with me, am I right?" she turned as she heard a yawn and found Dynast come into scene, stretching himself off from rest.

"Hummm…. Hallo everyone u.u.…" he mumbled as he looked around, however, he was not allowed to say anything else, for Dolphin launched herself and glomped him shouting his name at full volume, making him sweatdrop, "Go glomp Phibby, Dolphin <.< Come on, go.…"

The blue haired girl blinked and nodded, "Yes, Dynie is right, Dolphin go and glomp Phibby," and so she did, thing that didn't seem to affect the Hellmaster as he tapped his chin in an attempt to think hard about what he was going to ask from Zelas.

"Let me see.… what do I want? What do I WANT?" he snapped his fingers, "I know!! If you take me, and her, and her, and him, and him.…" he pointed to all the present people, "To an amusement park, then I'll tell you about those marbles!"

The reaction was common, everyone gagged at him, "What?!" they all shouted, "A THEMEPARK?!?!"

~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~

DFA: *Grins* I left it at that! And I brought Phibs in! See told ya he'd be in!! ^-^

Phibs: O_o *Gets dragged in by Dynast and Zelas* Noooo, no, no, no, no!! I do not want to go into this fic! *Wails* Leave me be!!

Dynast: *Smirk* If I have to put up with this, then YOU have to put up with this!

Zelas: Ditto, what he said! *Blinks, then gasps* Oh L-sama! I agreed with you, Dynast! The world is coming to an end!!

Dynast: *Sweatdrops* We'll tackle that problem later, Zelas.… let's drag the hellbrat in first.
