Title: The Race
Chapter 1 remembrance
Authors note: This story is after the last battle with Brago in the story Kiyo answer talker and symbolgy. Also I don't know what Zatch's foster mothers name was for sure, if someone can tell me what it was that would be great.
A few minutes after Zatch had to say goodbye to Kiyo and was sent to the Mamodo world as the winner. Zatch had no idea where to go after all he didn't remember his entire past only bits and pieces.
"Ok is there anybody there" Zatch shouted for he had been walking in an empty meadow full of flowers.
"Well I guess this isn't the best welcome home party for a king but at least it's pretty view" Zatch talking to himself because he was getting lonely.
"It's night time already well this place is as good as any to go to sleep" Zatch started to lay down trying to go to sleep but was thinking about Kiyo and the promise they made to each other. He was about to fall asleep until he heard barking and the rustling of the flowers.
"Unh what's going on?" Zatch said getting up to see two huge dogs coming at him. He could see them clearly under the two full moons in the sky. The dogs came charging drooling from the mouth.
"Umm nice doggies, nice doggies, umm I got to go" Zatch cried out waving his hands in front then bolting in the opposite direction.
"Someone anyone HELP me please" Zatch running frantically trying outrun the dogs twice his size. His efforts proved to be useless, the dog jumped up and chomped down on Zatch's left arm. The pain was mind numbing "ahhhh get off" Zatch then remembering he was in the Mamodo world "Zaker" ran through his mind and out came a electric blast out of his mouth hitting the dog and sent it flying into a tree.
"Serves you right" Zatch responded getting up holding his bleeding left arm (which for him would heal in a day). The other dog came running at him "Zakerga". A straighter electric blast came out of Zatch's mouth hitting the dog dead square in the face. As the dogs ran away whimpering Zatch heard a screeching and terrifying voice. He had no idea why his body was shaking so violently and he couldn't make it stop. It was the voice he only heard of in his nightmares "it couldn't be her".
"Zatch what the hell did you do to my dogs" an enormous shadow was casted over Zatch.
Zatch had the feeling that this has happened before, those dogs weren't blindly chasing him they were herding him into the direction of HER. He was too terrified to move and that was his biggest mistake.
"Where have you been hiding all this time, my dogs have been searching for you for months" Luna shouted kicking Zatch to the ground.
"I've been in the human world" Zatch sheepishly answered, wishing Kiyo was by his side.
"Impossible a weakling and a coward like you to last that long" Luna retorted cracking her knuckles. "What did I tell you about lying to me huh?" she shouted then started to stomp on Zatch's rib cage knocking the air out of his lungs.
To Zatch this was no nightmare this was reality, by now Kiyo would have waked him up but not this time. What were only minutes seemed like hours to the boy, until a sinister and angry voice broke the commotion in the air
"Zaker" was heard through the bushes and out came a huge blue electric blast that struck Luna and threw her 10 feet away from Zatch.
"So there you are Zatch" the silver haired boy came out of the bushes and knelt down to his brother. "You Know that the royal guard has been searching for their next king…right" Zeno talked pretty nonchalantly as he helped Zatch up to find that he had a quite a few bruises on his body. "Damn it all to hell" Zeno roared scaring Zatch a quite a bit, while Luna struggled to get up. "Zatch is this? Your foster mother"
Zatch trying to catch his breath and still crying "yea"
"Bitch get ready to die no one touches Zatch while I'm around" Zeno shouted with murderous intent.
"Who the hell are you?" Luna completely scared for her life
"The lightning emperor prince Zeno and the person you beat the crap out of is my twin brother Zatch Bell" Zeno shouted with pride and only two feet away from Luna. Luna surprisingly made the first move and smashed a branch over Zeno's head. It had no effect "you hag how dare you touch me!" Zeno pissed off to the point of no return "Barugirudo Zakeruga" a huge lightning blast came from the sky striking Luna making her scream in pain, the blast kept on going until she passed out. "Now to finish this" Zeno pointing his hand at Luna for the kill.
"No Zeno… don't do it, don't… kill her… please" Zatch tried to shout but was overcome by him crying out for her mercy
"Zatch but why shouldn't I kill her?" Zeno asked with a confused look and almost in a pouting stance.
"Because I don't like it when anybody dies" Zatch responded with tears still in his eyes, though happy that his brother did save him.
"Fine but a life of slavery befits this hag" Zeno still pouting that he couldn't kill her. "Come on Zatch let me show you to your new palace" Zeno grabbing his right arm showing him the way.
"Unh ok Zeno" Zatch said with a little more happiness in his voice, now that he wasn't alone.
