Slayers Extra (a.k.a. Slayers EX) is a four volume radio drama, set a few months after the first season of the anime. Each volume is a short story adapted from the Slayers Special novels, though Naga is replaced by Gourry, Amelia, and Zelgadiss.

The Prologues for each volume of the drama are generally short little vignettes with little connection to the overall plot

In addition to the dramas, volumes one through three also come with background music tracks from season one and other bonus songs.

Volume 1: The Mountain of White Dragon

Synopsis

Adapted from Slayers Special 2

While traveling in the cold snowy mountains, Lina, Gourry, Zelgadiss, and Amelia are offered a job by the local village headman to defeat a White Dragon that had been causing trouble in the area recently. Initially, Lina refuses due to the cold, but she changes her mind when she learns that a White Dragon is involved. She holds a grudge against them since she dropped her candy while chasing one.

The four of them set out in search of the dragon, and before long, they find it. Much to their surprise, the dragon (named Riol) is very friendly. It turns out that the one who was causing trouble is really the Blue Dragon.

After explaining things to the villagers, Lina, Gourry, Zel, Amelia and Riol go looking for the blue dragon. When they find him, Lina insists that riol should be the one to take care of him. Riol protests, since he didn't have much of a stomach for fighting.

The foul mouthed Blue Dragon starts trading insults with them, and calls Lina a kid. Lina takes offense, and (not surprisingly) Dragon Slaves him, though she intentionally misses, and then forces Riol to fight the Blue Dragon. Riol is beaten in one blow. Lina and co. take it upon themselves to train him, with little success.

Nevertheless, Lina arranges a rematch, and decides to make money off it by organizing it like carnival, complete with a betting pool. Surprisingly, Riol beats the Blue Dragon and wins. Aftwerwards, it is discovered that it was, in reality, Lina who had been causing all the trouble.
