Episode 1: Ricky and Spilon.
One thing I've learned in life is that if a six-foot, white-haired, muscular guy with lines going down his eyes hands you a weird-looking book. Don't take it. My name is Ricky and im 17 years old. I've been in the battle for the Mamodo king for about week now. Lucky for us we won our first battle. My mamodo's name is Spilon. He's the six-foot guy I mentioned earlier. He can be really moody and a loner at times, but when it comes to battling he gets the job done. Even though we've only been in one battle and only know one spell. My family doesn't seem to mind him. Gives them something to do while I'm at school. My story really starts about a week after our first battle. So lets start there.
"OK so let me get this straight. This king of yours. What was his name?" I asked from across the room. I was sitting on his bed and Spilon was sitting on the floor with his legs crossed. He looked up at me.
"Zatch. Zatch Bell." He said in a calm but deep voice.
"He swore he would be a kind king. To stop the mamodo from coming to your world and doing battle with one another." I folded my arms and was a little confused.
"Well from what you told me, this battle wasn't supposed to happen. Not for another thousand years, and he was overthrown in fifty." I still couldn't believe all of this. I wouldn't have believed any of this if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes.
"One year after they executed him, the fight for king started once again. Only earlier. Much earlier."
"Yea. About nine hundred and fifty years earlier." I said getting up and grabbing the dark blue spell book. I opened it and took a long hard look at it the pages.
"Right now we only know one spell. That guy we fought last week was able to use three."
"We still managed to win. Stop doubting yourself, Ricky." Spilon said standing up.
"Your right, Spilon." Somehow that made feel better and a little more confidant. I've never really been the guy you would see getting into fights, or winning any of those fights I managed to get myself into, but in a weeks time my confidence has sky rocketed. Thanks to Spilon.
"Well since we only know one spell. We should train so that we master this spell inside and out." I could feel the energy surging through my body. Like there was a small tiger roaring Inside of me!
"Lets go, Spilon."
"Go where?" Spilon asked standing up and following me out of the room.
"Training." As we walked to the front door I grabbed my backpack from one of the hooks by the front door to put the book in. Carrying it around in the open would attract too much attention. The wrong kind of attention.
"Smart thinking." Spilon said opening the door. As he opened the door Spilon couldn't help notice that someone was standing there. Someone who didn't need to be there. He opened the door completely to show a young women, around twenty-two or so, wearing a really expensive looking dress; holding her hands behind her back.
"Hello there". She said. She wasn't alone either. A little girl with a tiny umbrella covering her face and a dress just as nice as the woman she was with.
"Uh, hi." Is all I could say. These two gave me a bad feeling.
"My name is Allissia. Allissia Belmont." That name. To think a Belmont would be at my doorstep. Felt like a privilege.
"Would you two mind coming with me?" She asked as she started walking to the lemozine parked on the side of the road. She turned around to show that she had a spell book, only hers was white. As if she wanted us to see it. That little girl. Is She a Mamodo? I looked down at her for a moment the back at Allissia.
"Hey lady. Did you come here to battle us?" She stopped, turned around and looked at us.
"We did. But I thought that could wait." She said opening her book. I was a little shocked by her straightforward she was. I couldn't let her cast a spell. Not here.
"Spilon!"
"Right!" Spilon grabbed me and jumped into the street. Still shocked at how strong he was. As soon as the both of us landed I got on his back and we got as far away from the house as possible.
"...They're running." The small child said closing her umbrella revealing the same type of lines on her eyes.
"They always do. Don't worry, Tali. They wont get far." She said opening her book. We tried to get a good bit of distance before coming up with a plan but somehow we got cut off by the enemy team in an abandoned building.
"Great." I said opening the book.
"Now we have to fight. Ready, Spilon!" He nodded in agreement as he prepared himself.
"Just give us the book and this could all be avoided." Allissia said in a smug voice.
"You know, I really hate woman with snobby attitudes like that. It makes my blood boil!" I replied.
"And I bet you would like it if I gave up my book! Wouldn't you!" Both our books started to glow brightly.
"Enough talk!" Spilon yelled charging at the two enemies.
"Alright! The first spell: Genrai!" I yelled with the loudest voice I could muster up. As a result of the spell, the static around us gathered in Spilon's eyes and turned into pure electric energy.
"Fire!" With a burst of light a blue beam shot from Spilon's eyes straight at Allissia and Tali. I still couldn't believe the power behind the blast. How could Spilon handle something that powerful. Now that I think about it these guys aren't human. No where near it. The explosion was so powerful it blew a hole in the wall behind Allissia.
"Did it hit?" I asked as Spilon jumped back to his side. I couldn't see anything due to all the dust in the air that had gathered in this old building. The only thing I could see was the silhouette that Allissia was giving off because of the hole in the wall. I didn't see Tali's though.
"I can't see much but I have an idea where they are. Aim at the same spot."
"Alright" He replied as I pointed in the forward.
"Ziosa!" Shouted Allissia from the dust. A bright colorful beam emerged from the dust and hit Spilon in the back.
"Aaaggh!" He hit the ground hard on his side.
"Spilon!" I kneeled down to see if he was OK. How did they do that. How did the move without their shadows moving.
"I'm fine! Focus on the enemy!" He shouted. How they got a direct hit in all this dust was incredible.
"Where is she! Where is she! I hate this!"
"Panicking during a fight. Fool." Said the smug women. Her just-as-smug mamodo threw in a comment as well.
"Your just making it easier for us." Spilon got up and put his hand on my shoulder. I'm sure he could feel how much I was shaking.
"Ricky. You have to focus. You can do this." Spilon was right. In order to win this I had to chill out. I stood up and all of a sudden the book started glowing brighter and at a faster rate.
"What?". Amazing! I could read more of the words in the book.
"The second spell: Raishield. Well, Spilon i think things just got serious." I still didn't understand how these things worked but I'm not gonna question it at a time like this.
"Look, Allissia. Their book."
"I see it. Lets end this now." Tali held her hands out in front of her and prepared for the spell.
"Ziosa!" Tali fired the beam directly at her target. A loud explosion was heard throughout the old building.
"We're done here, Tali." She said as she closed her book.
"Not quite!" Allissia's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What?!"
"The second spell: Raishield!" The colorful beam was deflected to the left of us by a strong blue aura with a sort of static cling to it.
"That gives me an idea." I said snapping my fingers.
"Spilon, can you run with that?"
"I think so."
"Good!" I hopped on Spilon's back. Due to the static my clothes stuck to him as well.
"Now Spilon! Run in the line of their last attack!" In doing so we ran right into Allissia and Tali. Causing them to fall over and hit the wall.
"Found you!" I got up and readied our next attack.
"So you did. Clever." Allissia said getting up and dusting off her dress. I got off of Spilon's back and opened my book.
"Get ready to attack, Spilon!" I said pointing at the two of them.
"There wont be any need for that." Allissia said as she put her spell book in satchel she was carrying on her shoulder.
"What are you doing? Why are you putting your book away?" I asked.
"Because we're done here. We only battled you to test your skill." She walked up to me and handed me a piece of paper.
"Come to this address at this exact time and date. We'll be waiting. Bring your mamodo as well." She placed her hand on her bag as it started to glow.
"Wait!"
"Ziotsu!" Before I could say anything they both disappeared.
"They vanished. Plus she cast a spelling without even opening her book."
"That would explain how the cut us of at this building. They have much power and I believe we haven't even seen a fraction." Spilon said folding his arms.
"Yea. One attack brought you to your knees. Well looks we better wear something nice." I said looking at the small piece of paper.
"Why?" Spilon asked raising an eyebrow.
"We've been invited for tea."
