I've totally re done this whole story so I hope you like my new version of The Fire Mamodo. I decided to re do this story because my knowledge of Zatch Bell has increased and so have my writing skills. When my other Zatch Bell story came out no one knew about the every thousand years so I made something up and conflict happened. So I hope you enjoy this.

Travis Izumi was playing forward in the soccer finals of tenth grade. He was on his High School's team. Tokyo High School. Travis moved from Texas to Japan and knows Japanese. His mom is Japanese and dad american.

Travis's POV

I moved up the field pass the ball back with my twin brother Tyler Izumi. My brother and I are called the dynamic duo because for the past two years my brother and I have led Tokyo High School to the finals of soccer.

We are called the Dynamic Duo because we have been the only freshmen and sophomores to have made it to the senior varsity team! Last year we lost to Kyoto High School. They play dirty and trip people a lot. But not only that I had placed first in Gymnastics.

They'd beaten us last year but this year is going to be different!

"Travis! Pass the ball!" called Tyler ten feet from me. I was about to pass it when a team player from the other team tripped me. I summersaulted to the ground and cursed in english.

The other player got a red card and was out of the game. I scolded him.

I was on the sidelines with a throw in ball. I threw it to Han the third forward who kicked it to Tyler.

I ran back into the game. Han passed it to Tyler and Tyler passed the ball to me.

The defense on the other team was circling around me so I couldn't get out. I dribbled and kneed it and chested it do they wouldn't get it.

Finally I put the ball in between my legs and flipped over one of the players.

"That's not fair!" called the player in Japanese. The referee didn't listen to him.

I passed the ball to Han. Han kicked it towards into the goal. But the goalie caught it!

The goalie kicked the ball down field and our defense player Shou Young power housed it all the way back to the mid fielder Kuan Lin.

Kuan dribbled it down the field and passed it to the other Mid Fielder Minwook.

Min passed the ball to Tyler and Tyler kicked it over to me. I launched the ball in the air and bicycle kicked it in the goal!

The referee blew the whistle! We'd won! We'd done it! We beat those scums at Kyoto High School.

The whole team ran over to me and put me in the air on their shoulders and I was smiling so much. My parents were on the bleachers clapping and holding up signs that had mine and Tyler's names on it.

My teammates were also my best friends. On my soccer team was: Tyler, Han and me playing forward. Kuan Lin and Minwook playing midfield. Shou Young, Esop, Shen and Chang playing defense and Taiju was our goalie. Our three other players that usually were benched were Junji, Ataru and Shinji. They didn't mind though.

I went over to our team bench and grabbed my bag. The after party was at our teams favorite restaurant, Misaki. Such good sushi!

As I was walking off the field a little boy started walking with me.

"That was a really cool kick. Is it called a bicycle kick?" he asked.

"Hey, thanks. Yea it looks like a bicycle kick but it is really a kung fu move called dragon whip's tail." I replied.

"Wow! You must be really good at fighting then!" continued the boy.

"I try. My grandfather makes me take it." I said.

"My names Travis Izumi. What's yours?" I asked.

"Oh sorry, I'm Tiko Maloaki. You can just call me Tiko!" he said cheerfully. I shook hands with him and looked at the field. Everyone had left.

"Tiko, where are your parents? Everyone already left." I stated looking around for someone that looked like they were looking for their child.

"Oh don't worry. I haven't seen my parents in many years." said Tiko. My heart dropped. How could such an innocent and adorable looking kid not have parents.

"Well, where are you supposed to be? An adoption center?" I said to him.

He shook his head. "I don't like that your out alone Tiko. These streets can get very dangerous. I'll take you home before going out to the restaurant."

Tiko seems to be a nice kid. Tiko looks to be about 8 years old. He wears a red shirt with a fire emblem on it. He has a indian leather necklace with a ruby on it in the shape of a fire emblem. He wears dark yellow jeans/light brown with and orange stripe going down them on the sides. He also has little orange shoes.

I called my mom and told her about Tiko. She said they couldn't leave the whole team there and tomorrow she'd call the police to report Tiko as a missing child or a found child.

"Travis, I'm hungry. You don't by any chance have something to eat do you?" asked Tiko.

I laughed and looked through the fridge and cabinets. We were out of food. Tomorrow was mom's food shopping day.

"Well I'm sorry Tiko. We don't have anything on the spot but I can make you a mean PB & J sandwhich!" I said cheerfully hoping he'd say yes.

"Sure!" he said excited. "What's that!"

I laughed again. I made him the sandwhich and put it in front of him on a plate. When I turned around and back at him again the sandwhich was gone! And Tiko was licking his fingers!

"Yummy! That was good!" said Tiko clapping.

"You devoured that! When was that last time you ate?" I asked.

He thought... "Two days ago."

"No wonder! Well until we find where you belong I can be like your big brother!" I said.

"Really? You'd do that for me!" asked Tiko excited.

"Of course Tiko. I'll take care of you." I said cheerfully. Tiko hugged me really hard and said. "Oh thanks Travis! Your the bestest big brother ever!"

I made him take a nice hot shower and I washed his clothes. I got out of some of my younger kid clothes that mom had saved. (She saves EVERYTHING).

Tiko came out of the shower and I got him some pajamas to wear. I laid out a sleeping bag for myself and was going to let Tiko sleep in my bed. Tiko sat next to me on the bed and Tiko put his backpack that he was carrying on the side of the bed. A light in it started to glow.

Tiko put on a worried face and quickly covered it.

"Tiko? What is in there?" I asked worried.

"Nothing! Don't look in there!" he said forcefully. "Tiko, remember? I'm your big brother now. You can tell me anything."

Tiko looked up and sighed. He pulled his backpack up on his lap. He sighed again. I was waiting and not expecting what he was about to do. He opened his back pack and pulled out an orange book. It had weird symbols on it.

"Tiko? What is that?" I asked pointing to the book.

"Are you sure you want to know?" he asked again anxiously. I nodded. He sighed again.

"This is a spell book." he started. I laughed. "Your joking right?"

"Let me finish Travis. I am not from this world. I know... I know... You think I'm crazy but let me finish. I'm a mamodo. I live in a world called Makai far from this one. Each mamodo that lives there has a special ability or a special power. Each mamodo has a certain amount of spells inside them but on Makai we can only use our first. Every one thousand years one hundred mamodo like me are chosen to go to Earth. We are given these books which are the key to unlocking our spells. We hundred mamodo fight to decide who will become the next King of Makai. To defeat a opponent we must burn the opponents spell book and the mamodo will disappear and return to Makai. I am one of those mamodos."

I looked at him smirking. "Your pulling my leg, right? Am I on some hidden TV camera show?" I asked looking around the room.

"Travis, stop it! I'm serious! I wouldn't joke about something like this." said Tiko.

"Well, what's your so called ability." I asked.

"Fire." he replied.

"Yea, right. Prove it." I said. Tiko snapped his finger and a little flame floated above his thumb. He snapped his fingers again and the flame disappeared. What is this kid? A demon?

FlashBack

My house was in flames... My home was destroyed... Fire had consumed it all... It had destroyed the place I love... It cause me to move thousands of miles from my family and friends to a place with another language.

End FlashBack

"Tiko... I don't know... I've been afraid of fire ever since I was little." I said.

"Well are you sure? I mean... I'm practically a living flame and your fine with me!" said Tiko trying to cheer me up.

"Not helping much Tiko..." I said as I stood up starting to think.

"Look Travis... I've never had many friends. I've learned to grow up on my own... get my own job. And I finally get the chance to start a new life. Travis... you have this beautiful home, a family, tons of friends. I'm a nobody... so I guess I understand if you won't help a nobody..." said Tiko tearing.

"I'm such a jerk. Of course I'll help you!" I said hugging Tiko. Tiko hugged me back. "Tiko..." I said still hugging him. "Yea?" he asked. "Learn to act. It could've been better." I said laughing.

"Really? I thought the nobody part was a little edgy." he said laughing. He'd pulled the old guilt on me.

"Hey Tiko! Wanna come out and play?" shouted someone from outside.

Tiko and me ran down the steps and went outside across the street. There was a man and a mamodo. The mamodo was about four feet. He wore a gray shirt and blue jeans. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. The man was in a tuxedo and had black hair and brown eyes.

"So you actually made it this far?" taunted the mamodo to Tiko.

"Lay off Peter. It's only been two weeks." snarled Tiko. Tiko looked back at me and threw me his book. "Open it. You can read the orange letters."

I opened the book and saw blue letters. I couldn't read anything. Then on one of the first few pages there was something I could read! It took up five lines but it said. The First Spell: Shakai. The letters were orange and they were glowing a little bit.

"Tiko! I can read it!" I said happily. Peter sighed evilly. "Wow... you just found your book owner. This is going to be easy."

"Lamone!" said Peter acknowledging his book owner. "Garugio" Larone shouted and a metal thorn came out of Peter's mouth aiming at Tiko and me. "The first spell! Shakai!" I yelled and Tiko blew a giant flame thrower out of his mouth.

The metal went right through the fire and flew towards Tiko and me. This was going to be harder then I thought. "Shakai" I yelled out again and it went towards Lamone and Peter.

"Lamone!" yelled Peter.

"Gargioga" Peter opened his mouth and a metal blob came out and formed a circular metal circle that blocked the metal shield. The shield was now red hot and probably could burn through anything.

Sadly Peter realized that also. Peter put out his hands and the molten hot metal turned towards us and was thrown at us. I grabbed Tiko and dived out of the way. The metal disappeared.

"Shakai" I called out again. The flame thrower hit Peter directly. He laughed maniacally. "Goruvio" Metal claws zoomed out of Peter's hands. "Now your mine!" yelled Peter lunging at Tiko. I grabbed a branch and swung it hard against Peter making him fly back a few feet.

"Tiko! Get up close to him!" I yelled. Tiko without thinking ran over to Peter. "Shakai" I yelled and Peter got hit badly. "Garugio" yelled Lamone and Peter shot a metal ball at Tiko. Tiko flew backwards landing hard on the ground next to me.

"Tiko!" I said trying to help him up. "Wake up buddy! Come on!"

"Take a parting gift." said Lamone. "Garugio" and Peter shot a metal thorn at us. I saw them walking away and the thorn hit us. I took the hit and it hit me hard in the back. Tiko was awake now and I fainted.

I'll update tomorrow. Please review. I hope you liked the re written version. I'm deleting the other one but I saved all of it for future reference. Cya Later.
