Well.. here goes. My first post to the often-talked about FFML. Any and all C&
C is more than welcome, and furthermore, appreciated.
I started this fic 2 years ago, and have since touched it up, though added
little. I intend to change that. It's time to get back into writing. So!
without Further bla-ing on my part, here's (the newly-named) Slayers:
Resurgence... ... god I hope I spelled that right.

~~~begin fic~~~

Prologue

       The balance between the Ryuzoku and Mozaku had been disrupted. Due to

Isn't that more normally "Mazoku"?

their inherently reckless bahavior, petty infighting, and the occasionally
lucky human, the Mozaku now had a far smaller number of high-level minions to
wreak havoc upon the world as before. 


Delete "as before" or at least change to "than before"

These desperate times called for
desperate measures, and so, an unsteady alliance between the bickering
leaders of the Mozaku was called for, and a meeting to decide their fate was
established.

An unsteady alliance isn't really what's called for.  Perhaps a temporary alliance
instead?  



       The time between making such a decision and gathering was short, but
Dynast, Deep Sea Dolphin, and Zelas all made it. Along with them were Deep
Sea's General, Maris, and Zelas' Priest/General, Xelloss. Dynast's
highest-level minions were on assignment, and Deep Seas Priest had been
slain, much like Sherra, of Dynast's army had been. A few more higher level
Mozaku, were also there, because their power, while nowhere near as powerful
as the three leaders, was still more than any mere human, and they had been
instrumental in the War of the Mozaku's Fall, taking on hordes of enemies,
and coming out alive in the end.

       Watching the meeting from their positions on the astral plane were
literally millions of lesser Mozaku, all interested in what was about to take
place. Dynast suddenly spoke up above the rest, quieting all their murmuring.

Well, that's lousy security.  Do they really have a need to know?  


"Enough! The time for recuperation is at hand. We need to even out our ranks,
settle our differences, and work in unison to bring forth chaos. Our pathetic
internal power struggles  have gone on long enough, and the time to work
together towards our common goal is at hand."  Zelas and Deep Sea both
frowned a bit at these accusations, but conceded after a moments thought.
There was an unsteady giggle, before,
"I agree." Deep Sea commented, her eyes glowing with barely-restrained
insanity,
"Our difference aside, it is time we did what Lord Shabranigdo created us to
do." She Turned to Zelas, who had not spoken since arriving. She flicked the
ash from the tip of her cigarette, and nodded towards Deep Sea, before
looking to Dynast.
"You called us here, so it would be logical to assume that you have a plan to
follow through with your brazen announcements..." Dynast paused for a moment,
letting tension build, before speaking.
"Yes. It is time for us to strike. But to do so, we must first gather up our
dispersed armies, and, although I despise the though, appoint a replacement

thought

for both Gaav, and Phibrizo."

Two replacements, or one for both?  


    A collective gasp arose from crowd, and Dynast understanding entirely,
explained,
"Shabranigdo, our lord, is sealed away; divided, and ensnared by our eternal
enemy, Cephied. His power, even from there, is enough to keep this world in
turmoil, between darkness, and the light. However, the light is winning. Our
grasp on this world is slipping, and every bit that sneaks between our
fingers, is a gift we're unwillingly giving to the Ryuzoku." After a few
minutes of muttered agreement from those who felt themselves worth of saying
anything around him, he continued.
"We need to regain our power. Which means that first, we are going to have to
find a way to take more from lord Shabranigdo, and use it for his goal. We
need to destroy those who oppose us." A roar of agreement stopped him for a
minute, before he began his final words.
"Let us now choose those who will join us as Lords, and help us regain the
power and glory we once had! Let us achieve our goal at tapping more of our
Lord Shabranigdo's power, to assist us in the deliverance of chaos unto this
world. Our unspoken truce with the sniveling Ryuzoku must end! Our fighting
amongst ourselves must stop! And when we have done this, and the rivers run
with the blood of those who have opposed us, we will return this world to
Chaos, and we will be free of this useless war." A cheer arose from the
multitude of Mozaku, and it echoed throughout the astral plane, before they
began to act.

your hearts content!
