The Progress to Power

The Story of Zatch Bell's successor

Prologue

"Doruzonis!"

"Rioru Reis!" Two strong spells smash into the guards of the king's palace. "Bari! You take the right, and I'll take the left! That weakling, Zatch, must be stopped!"

"Zatch, the intruders have reached the inner sanctum of the castle." A tall Mamodo with a duck-bill mouth entered in the throne room of the king of the Mamodo World. "They're on their way here."

"Do we have an ID on the intruders?" A familiar yellow-haired Mamodo turned to face Kyanchome, the head of Mamodo Intelligence.

"We believe its Bari and Brago, and one Mamodo reported that they're pissed about you cancelling the battle to decide king." He looked towards the door as another Mamodo entered wearing a red armor with a gold horn coming from his head.

"Meru Meru Me---" Ponygon walked through the doors to looked towards Zatch.

"I see, so they'll be here anytime, thank you Schneider." Zatch rises from his throne as the doors bust open.

"Dioga Zonisudon!"

"Oruga Reis!" Two large spells hurled right towards Zatch.

"Rashield…" Zatch's shield came up and immediately bounced the attacks back. Both of the enemy Mamodo dodged the rebound.

"Why are you cancelling the battle?!" Brago demanded as he slammed Zatch against the wall.

"It's an evil tournament and it must be stopped. There's no need in the countless battles that do nothing but bring pain."

"You WILL start the tournament, because Tia's life depends on it." Bari demanded as he crossed his arms.

"JIO RENZU—"

"Zeno has Tia held captive and its not just her. There are three other Mamodo there." Brago interrupted.

"…You win…I'll gather Mamodo immediately." Zatch looked towards Kyanchome. "Go ahead and summon the Mamodo I listed. Tell them they leave in a week." It was at that point that Tia walked in the room. She had become a beautiful Mamodo with bright pink hair. "…Brago…Bari…you are both a pain in the ass." Both Bari and Brago laughed hysterically as they walked out of the room.

Level 1

Who the hell has blue hair?!

"Damn, I'm not gonna make it!" The speedometer bounced between 120 and 125 as a metallic blue 2003 Chevrolet S-10 raced on the interstate. "I'm gonna miss my match! I can't miss weigh-ins!" The blue truck swerved between lanes. "Hey! Watch where your turnin' dickhead!" A nineteen year old boy screamed as he drove his truck onto the off ramp.

"Five more minutes until I'm late!" The truck quickly turned the corner to see a young blue-haired boy standing in the street. "Oh shit…" The boy slammed the brakes to no avail. The young boy hit the blue haired boy. "Damn, now I'm gonna have vehicular manslaughter on my record." The door slowly opened and the 5'11" 215 pound boy stepped out. "Who the hell steps in front of a moving truck?!" He yelled as went to check on the boy. The boy sat up and looked at the driver before he started to turn his head quickly as if he were looking for something.

"Where's my book?! I need to find my book! You need to help me find my book!" The blue haired boy quickly stood up and started to run around in the street looking for his book.

"Listen, I just hit you with my truck and all you're worried about is a book. Besides, its right here under my car. Who are you?! …And what's with this strange book?"

"I'm Zane…and can you read that book? The blue haired boy asked as he started to rub the side of his face where a bruise was forming.

"I don't…think so…" He answered as the blue boy started to look disappointed. "Wait…The First Spell…Zabeis." With that the hand that Zane was using to rub the side of his face sent a electric shock into his face, causing a small explosion. "...Ok, Zane, explain that to me."

"First, I want to know your name, because you're gonna be a good friend of mine now." Zane said grabbing the book from the young boy's hand.

"My name is Tiger, and dammit I missed my match!" He said taking out his cell phone. "I gotta call and tell them what happened. By the way, who the hell has blue hair?!" After a short phone call Tiger stood up and lifted Zane up. "Look, we're going to my apartment, and you're going to explain everything to me. The two hopped into Tiger's truck and drove away.

While on the interstate Tiger started to talk to the boy, "I want you to explain this whole thing to me right now." He said shifting gears to a higher gear.

"I am a Mamodo child from a different world. I've come here to take place in a battle to decide king of that world. That book you hold is a key to that battle. If you read a spell from that book with great emotional feeling then I will launch a spell. As the battle progresses, I will keep remembering spells." At that Tiger busted out laughing.

"That's a good story, its hilarious." As the Chevy truck drove on the interstate two people stood at the side of the road.

"Tiger, pull this car over, NOW!" Zane screamed as he saw the duo.

"Gidosen!" A small ice shard pierced Tigers rear passenger side tire. The car swerved and smashed through the guard rails on the side of the road and turned on its side, scraping against the ground. "Gidosen!"
