Episode #1 (first came out on July 26th, 2008, in the September issue of "Kero Kero Ace")

A picture book

The text is the message from the manga artist which was written backwordly in romaji. "HAJIMEMASHITE. SLAYERS SAKUGA TANTOU NO SASAKI SHIN DESU. KOREKARA YOROSHIKU ONEGAISHIMASU."
        In the far future age from Lina's time, the young boy, Light Inverse read aloud one picture book to the little kids. The story was about the magic and the magic user, which were the fantasy in the legend, not real things.

The ark
        They dwelt in the last paradise for the humans called "the ark", but it was in a peril because about three thousands of "Mazoku" came to attack.

        Light and his friend Joshua flew one their "gunpods" to protect "the ark" against the Mazoku. They didn't know why there were Mazoku, and why the Mazoku attacked the humans. There was nobody to tell them the answers because all of the adult humans had been killed in the severe battle against Mazoku. In the last "ark", there only lived the young boys and girls and the little children.

        Meanwhile, Lina and Gourry walked in the forest in their own time. They were searching for the remains of the ancient shrine there. Suddenly Gourry noticed that there were strange clouds in the sky over their heads, and the clouds were just like the vapor trails of the gunpods of Joshua and Light. But Lina didn't take care of the sky. She had discovered what she came for -- the remains of the shrine of "Chronos".

        In the futre time, the young humans fought desparately against Mazoku with their weapons such as the ion-plasma canons and the gravity missiles. The Mazoku in Light's time were united with the machines and when one Mazoku was damaged, it united with another Mazoku or machine to recover the damage. The Mazoku which Light shot with his ion-plasma canon lost most the body, but it united with Joshua's gunpod. Joshua escaped from his gunpod and Light shot one gravity missile at the Mazoku. This missile destroyed all of the Mazoku there. Light cried out a cry of joy, but the girl navigator got angry because the gravity missiles were dangerous weapons to use.

        However they couldn't have time to quarrel over using the gravity missiles. There came thousands more Mazoku again. Many gunpods were destroyed, and then the commander of the Mazoku aimed at Light's gunpod as the next target.

        In Lina's time, she explained about the shrine of Chronos to Gourry. But Gourry felt uneasy about the strange sounds of explosions. Those sounds were the battle of gunpods and the Mazoku.

        Lina and Gourry stood in the place which had the round floor and three short pillars surrounding the floor. The round floor had three triangles in the center of the circle.

        According to the legend, the shrine of Chronos was built in the ancient times, and the place of it changed from one time to another. Even if someone found the shrine one day, he couldn't find it in the same place again in another day. They also said the the shrine had the ability to jump not from one place to another but from one time to another as well, or that the person who had gone to the deep inside of shrine could be granted a great power which couldn't be earned even by a powerful magic.

        Gourry couldn't comprehend the explanation, but he could see that the shrine was a great remains, and he patted on the top of one pillar. Lina was irritated and she hit the top of another pillar with her fist at the same time. And then, suddenly the remains began to work. The shrine said "system Ruby Eye is starting", "at the request of Ark Master's system, we will send on the things from one dimention to another", "counting down starts, ten, nine, eight..." Lina and Gourry tried to run away, but they couldn't escape and they were sent forward to another place in another time.

        In the future time, Light Inverse was in the street in the residential area of "the ark". The Mazoku commander stood in front of him and knocked him down. He hit his back on one of three short pillars which surrounded the circled with three triangles, which was the same thing with "the shrine of Chronos". The Mazoku commander shot the fire at Light, but suddenly, the place behind Light shone brightly.

        In the next moment, Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev stood between Light and the Mazoku. The Mazoku soldiers came to attack, but Gourry's Sword of Light destroyed them. Lina began to chant the incantation of Dragon Slave, and the Mazoku commander was surprised to see a human using the magic spell with the power of their dark lord. Lina's Dragon Slave destroyed rest of the Mazoku soldiers, and Light realized that he saw the magic and the magic user which he had read only in the picture books.

Episode #2 (first came out on August 26th, 2008, in the October issue of "Kero Kero Ace")

Food Fight        Lina and Gourry enjoyed dishes of food after the battle against Mazoku. Those dishes were strange for them but they didn't care and just fighting over the last food - one piece of sausage. Joshua watched them and asked Light Inverse, "are they actually magic users?" Light replied, "I think so..."

        When Lina and Gourry ate up all of their meals, Light Inverse asked them if they were actually the magic users. Lina and Gourry introduced themselves. "I am the famous beautiful sorceress, Lina Inverse, a geneus magic user." I"I'm Gourry Gabriev. I am her guardian." Then the kids around them were delighted. "Here are actual legendal magic users!". Lina was embarrassed at their excitememt, and then one little boy handed her a picture book.

        It was the book of legend about a magic user. There were the pictures of a sorceress killing a dragon and getting the treasures to herself. Light said, "This is the picture of a legendary magic user... just like you, Lina." In another page, Lina found the picture of a map which she was familiar with. The legendary world was Lina's world. She realized that she was far away from her own world and she asked Light to explain about his world.

Nap in the Picture BookThe text is the Japanese sentence in romaji when you read it backwardly. "BOLU NO OKINIIRI HA EIRA DESU KED***ETE KURU KYARA MINNA DAISUKI DESU. / DEMOSA - NYAOMO KAWAIKUTE DOUSIYOU."
Picture Book of a Magic User

The text is another message from the manga artist, too. This time, it goes like this. "NIKAI ME DESU OTUKARESAMA DESU 'MATA' IPPAI IPPAI DESUGA MADA NANTOKA / 'SONINAKO' OT*Y*RA STRIKE WITCHIES DE**YO PANTU JANAIKARA HAZUKASIKU NAIN DESUYO"
Mazoku's Meeting        In somewhere in Light's world, one Mazoku reported about the attack on "the Ark" to a man. It reported the powerful Mazoku, Arucibra, was destroyed because there was magic user. The man was surprised that there was a magic user. The Mazoku, Necromancer, said, it would kill the magic users, and the man smiled, saying, "I'm waiting for a good news."



        Meanwhile, Light showed Lina and Gourry round the city in "the Ark". Lina realized that there were only young or little boys and girls and there weren't no adults. Light told Lina "Almost all of the adults were killed in the battle against Mazoku, and we, the kids had nothing to do but ride on this Ark and run away." Lina found that there were several flying vehicles in "the Ark" and asked "can you destroy the Mazoku with those weapons?" Light denied. "Only Magic can destory the Mazoku. Therefore, I want to master magic! Please teach me magic!" Lina refused his request, and Gourry said, "I like this world, Lina. Because there are machines which gives me a cup of hot tea by pushing a button." But the machine had a trouble and when Gourry pushed the button, the machine poured the tea over Lina. She cast a Fireball at Gourry and Light.

        Lina took bath to wash away the tea, but she was surprised by Light who came to wash her back, hoping to be her pupil of magic. Lina knocked down him, and then she found Gourry was there, too. She blew him away by a Fireball, and through the hole on the roof, she saw several Mazoku watching at her.

        Light was surprised because he and his friends didn't notice that Mazoku were coming before they appeared in "the Ark". Lina cast an arranged Fireball which broke a part in the air and the bullets of fire destroyed each Mazoku. Then another Mazoku appeared and it introduced itself as "Necromancer". It attraced the bodies of destroyed Mazoku, and became a giant Mazoku.
Gian Mazoku


        Light got on his "gunpod" and Gourry sat on the left wing of it. He didn't put on his pants but covered his waist with a towel. His couldn't find his pants which had been blown away by Lina's spell. When they arrived the scene of battle between the giant Mazoku and Lina, the Mazoku was going to shot a beam at her. Light's gunpod was just in time, and Gourry caught her up to the wing of the gunpod.

        Light asked Lina what was the monster, and Lina told him that one Mazoku resurrected the bodies of dead Mazoku and unite them into a big body. "We have to destroy the controling Mazoku on the head of it." Light asked Lina to destroy the Mazoku with her Dragon Slave but Lina said, "you don't no how to battle, Light. We don't need to destroy the Mazoku with only one powerful spell. Use your head, if you want to be my pupil."

Sword of Light        Then Light shot machine gun at Mazoku's body. Hiding behind the rain of bullets, Lina flew closer to the Mazoku and cast an Elmekia Lance, but the Necromancer expected it. The Mazoku shot a beam of power and the spell and the beam hit each other. At the same time, Light shot two missiles at the head of the giant Mazoku, where the controling Mazoku, Necromancer, existed. The missiles hit the target, but the Mazoku covered itself with with the body of another Mazoku. It said to Lina "check mate." Lina said "no, it's me who check and mate!" And Gourry jumped at the Mazoku, holding the Sword of Light in his hands. Seeing the critical weapon, Necromancer gave a cry, and Gourry biseced it with only one blow.

        When they come closer to the ground, Light heard the cry of joy. It was the little kids in the city, and suddenly, he understood why Lina didn't use a powerful magic in the battle. If she had used the spell there, she had to cast it downwards, and the spell would have harmed many kids on the ground. Light was moved and excited and asked Lina to make him her pupil again. Finally, Lina replied, "you can be my pupil until I'll go home."

        When she replied, something came flying and covered her face. It was the towel with which Gourry covered his waiste. Lina saw his revealed thing and cast a Fireball at him again.

Necromancer shouted out.
        Somewhere in the world of Light, there stood a man who had talked with the Mazoku, Necromancer, before. He watched the images of the battle between Necromancer and the humans in "the Ark". The images showed Gourry's Sword of Light, Lina's angry face, and laughing face of Light. The man muttered joyfully. "I think the time has come. I'll show myself to them this time." He was a young man in the cloak and clothes of the priest and had a staff in his hand.

(QP's note : Kero Kero Ace is the comic magazine for the boys in their low-teens. Therefore, the story of "Slayers Light Magic" seems to be on the concept that the readers don't know the story of previous TV anime series and the canon novels.)
