"Go away, I said leave me alone!"

"There is no way you can win this competition; I will become king of Makai."

Fritz takes a last look at the momodo world, and walks into the light of Earth.

Small raindrops sprinkle onto Fritz's face. Confused, cold, hungry and wet, takes his blue-gray book and walks into the first building that smells of food. After walking up to the critical teenage manager, Fritz pleads

"Please mister, I have no money, but I will work for anything food scraps you can give to me."

Before the teenager can throw him out, a kindly looking old man walks up, carrying pasta and some dry clothes.

"Here son, take these." The old man states, "And you Sven, where is your heart, he is a little boy."

"Grandpa, what kind of kid has red hair like that in Germany?" Sven retaliates. He turns toward Fritz and asks, "And where are your parents, and what's with that stupid book?"

Before Fritz can answer, a man dressed in black and a small animal walk into the shop.

"Give me that red book, before things get ugly"

"No!" shout the three men in unison.

"Fine but you asked for it, Valkyrie!" As the orange book starts to glow furiously, Fritz tosses his own book to Sven, praying he can read it. The book begins to glow when Sven touches it. Fritz gets into position to cast his spell and yells to Sven, "Read the first spell when they read theirs, OK?"

The man yells, "Shudoruk!" as Valkyrie begins to grow clear armor and runs toward Sven and Fritz, Sven yells "Seoshi!"

Valkyrie hits an invisible barrier and suddenly reverts back to his old self. Fritz and Sven look up and see the old man wrestling the book from the man dressed in black. Sven runs over to help and his grandfather and finally take the book. Sven throws the book across the room and Fritz picks up the orange tome and runs toward the counter. After making it to the kitchen and picking up the flambé lighter, Fritz manages to start a small flame on the corner of the book before being tackled by Valkyrie. As the fire slowly spreads, Valkyrie begins to fade into transparency, and finally to nothing. After discarding the ashes of the book, Fritz walks slowly out to face Fritz and his grandpa. As the view of the two men comes into picture, Fritz simply states, "I guess I should explain."
