Slayers - Episode Summary

Episode 1: Angry? Lina's furious dragon slave.

In the season's opener, we meet the lovely, Lina Inverse. She's just stolen a few treasures from a couple of bandits called the "Dragon Fangs" after using the "fireball" spells. The next day, Lina is hunted down by some of the bandits whom she stole from. A guy talks to her while the rest are not-so hiding well, willing to attack her. Right when she is about to fight, a tall, blond guy named Gourry comes to her rescue (although she could of handle it herself easy). Gourry is disappointed on the girl he saved (a child looking girl, who is underdeveloped) but he invites himself with Lina to the next town which is Atlas City. Once there, they eat at a restaurant. A village elder approaches Lina, and asks if it's really her, the great sorceress Lina Inverse. Lina smiles and says yes. Gourry is surprised to know that Lina is a sorceress, because of the clothes she is wearing. Lina gets angry at Gourry because he thought with the clothes she is wearing, she would be some kind of waitress of fish monger. The elder interrupts and asks about the bandits that has been hitting their town. Lina tells him about beating the Dragon Fangs. The elder is surprised, and Lina tells him that Gourry beat the rest of them off before heading into the town. The elder is shocked to see that they (or Lina) killed the black dragon. He runs out of the restaurant excited telling everyone that they killed the black dragon. Gourry then asks Lina if she killed the dragon. Lina tells him no, because she didn't know they had one. Gourry asks what they are going to do about the dragon. Lina asks if he wants to go hunting for a dragon, who knows where. Right at that moment, the dragon flies over their town. The village elder comes running in and asks them "You didn't kill the black dragon? What's the meaning of this? Lina responds that she never killed the dragon, but the Dragon Fangs. Lina asks how much are they willing to pay her to kill the dragon. The elder tries to reason with Lina, but she drives a hard bargin. They run out to the dragon, where the elder explains that the boss, when he was little, bought the dragon at a festival for three bronze pieces, and grew from time to time. Lina throws a fireball to the dragon which had no effect. Lina is about to do something else but Gourry runs and takes out his sword. He gets hit by the dragon's tail instead and falls ontop of Lina. Lina panics as a unconsicous Gourry doesn't move as the dragon comes stomping their way. When the dragon is about to stomp them, he decides not to. He misses them, and stomps away to another part of the town. Lina is upset that dragon embrassed her, and uses her levitation spell. She tells Gourry to distract the dragon while she chants a spell. Lina kicks Gourry to the dragon, and with his sword catches the dragon by it's nose. Gourry runs from the dragon, as Lina casts her "Dragon Slave" that not only kills the dragon but destroys the whole town. The elder appears out of the reckage, and Lina asks about the payment. The elder and the whole town says like hell they will pay after destroying their whole town. Lina tells Gourry to handle it as she runs away. Gourry chuckles, as the whole village looks at him. Gourry to runs away with Lina while the whole village chases them...
