Prologue

"He's been like this for almost two days. It's taking longer than I thought for the poison to work it's way through his system." The pink haired mamodo, Kolulu, said standing to face the mamodo leaning against a wall, Zero, Captain of Zatch's guardsmen. The pale skinned mamodo narrowed his red eyes. He wasn't going to admit it, but he was worried about Zatch

"What about the antidote?" Zero asked crossing his arms.

"I'm not sure there is one. I've never seen this type of poisoning before." She placed the cold cloth on Zatch's forehead to help lower his fever.

Zatch groaned softly then sat up in his bed, "Zatch! What are you doing?" Kolulu scolded, "You need to rest." She put her hands on his shoulders and gently laid him back.

"You don't understand, Kolulu." Zatch said weakly. He sat back up and spoke again, "Earth." He said.

"What about Earth?" Zero straightened and walked over to the ailing King.

"The antidote is there." He said falling back on his pillow.

"Then it's settled. I'm going back." Zero said walking toward the door.

Zatch sat back up, "Getting it won't be that easy. You're going to need some help."

Zero stopped, "Whose help?" he asked turning around.

"Help me up. You're taking me with you."
