I hope this is better than the other 2nd chapter. Sorry for the late update.


Zeo found himself following Damian in the hallways of the HD academy. He sighed in misery and resting his hands behind his head. He noticed that his mind is starting a slide show about Toby and Masamune, both young and ambitious. Memories began swarming in his head.

Zeo felt his heart sank. Inevitable it was to run away this immense sadness. Toby had gotten sick, crumbling Team Dungeon. Masamune left them behind, and Zeo wasn't in any chance of improving. The thought of Masamune made him grind his teeth and developed a desire for an arrangement. Then he thought of Jack and Damian. 'Oh God no.'

Zeo notices that Damian was slowing his pace. Matching his, Zeo followed Damian to the room door where is says Ziggurat's Office. "What are we doing by Ziggurat's office?" Zeo murmured to Damian's ear, instinctively keeping quiet. Damian began to form a grin that looks similar to the Cheshire Cat. Zeo shivered at the grin. It is worse when it's on Damian's face.

"Just follow my lead," Damian murmured back, trying to keep his enthusiasm down.

Zeo know he's not going to like this. It's either leave and face the wrath of the Cerbecs wielder, or stay and suffer being alongside with the Cerbecs wielder. Hell haves no fury like an angry Damian.

Damian opens the door and barged inside. Zeo hesitates to follow him behind. He had to get his collar pulled by the small blader.

Ziggurat was sitting at desk, smiling as always, petting his mutated rodent. "Ah, hello Damian, Zeo. Done with your arrangement?"

"Yes, doctor," Damian replied. "All set and ready."

"Excellent," Ziggurat purred. Zeo glanced at Damian, mind whirling of what he is planning. 'I think my life is going to be fucked…'

"Is there something the matter?" Ziggurat asked, wondering the appearance of the 2 bladers. Damian removed his bey and launcher from the back of him and revealed it to Ziggurat. Zeo watched, surprisingly interested, Damian as he stepped closer to Ziggurat's desk.

"Zeo and I were practicing at the training room and I noticed Hades Cerbecs is acting funny," Damian began. Zeo knew this the starting moment of Damian's scheme. "I can't battle with it malfunctioning like this."

Ziggurat lost his smile and looked startled. "What do you mean? What's wrong with it?"

"It launches funny."

"Really? How?"

"Like this."

Damian aimed the launcher towards Ziggurat. Before anyone could react, Damian already released Cerbecs, heading straight to Ziggurat's fore-head.

Ziggurat fell backwards on his chair, his mutant rodent scampering away. Zeo stared down in horror at the doctor's unmoving body.

"Damian…WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO?!"

Damian made a devious smile and returned Cerbecs back to his hands. Zeo should have seen this coming. He expects a lie or an excuse, but not knocking out the master of the Hades Academy! Damian started towards the unconscious doctor and began lifting him up from under his arms.

"Grab his legs, Zeo," Damian huffed, seeming to be in a rush. Zeo just stared at Damian, trying to drag the doctor with countless numbers of gasps. Damian glared at the frozen blader, impatience rushing through.

"Are you going to sit there, gawking like a bitch, or are you going to help me?"

Zeo just sighed. The rein of Damian will never end. 'Probably until I die…'

Zeo strolled over to the doctor's unconscious body and lifted his legs, wondering how he got in this mess in the first place.

'All because I opened the door. Opened the goddamn door.'

Zeo's arms began to feel weak and carrying Ziggurat through the hallways made Zeo feel even more perturbed. Hope began to drain away and feels like his arms are going to fall off at any second. Why is he doing this again?

Before Zeo knew, the 2 bladers entered in the HD garage, full of trucks that transported goods and devices. Curiosity swarmed him like butterflies but he couldn't understand. Ziggurat's weight began to lift. Glancing at the doctor, Zeo found himself immobilized when he sees Damian putting Ziggurat in one of the transporting boxes that is big enough for an average man. His hands couldn't let go of the doctor's legs, like losing his favorite teddy bear (only it's a red fox) with countless numbers of names (mainly Flame) depending on his mood.

Zeo noticed that Damian was giving him one of his death glares. Zeo's hands automatically released Ziggurat's legs. Normally, death glares don't affect Zeo that often; he challenges them with his own. Damian's, however, is different. Challenging his death glares is like begging to die and have your soul thrown into eternal despair. Yes, it's that bad.

Damian covers the top of the box and grabs a marker to write "To Africa" on the top. Zeo went amazed at his neat handwriting, can easily fool transporters. Everyone, in fact.

Speaking of, one of the transporters strolled over towards the 2 bladers. He began to scratch his head when he sees Damian and Zeo. Before he could say anything, Damian spoke out.

"This one's a specialty!" Damian smiled like an innocent child, patting the top of the box with his palms.

The transporter looked like his heart just warmed at Damian's fake adorableness. Zeo rolled his eyes.

"Oh, hello Damian!" The transporter man smiled and begins to lift up the box. "This will be sent without a doubt!" He was struggling, but didn't seem to be bothered much as he carried the box over to one of the transporting trucks, never had a clue that he's actually sending the doctor to Africa.

Zeo's jaw dropped and stared at the box as it was shoved in the truck. Damian had his hands on his hips and watched amusingly at the truck with Ziggurat in drove away after it was full.

"Now that the cat's away, the mice will play," Damian snickered.

"We're soooo in trouble," Zeo whimpered, managing to speak, still haves his eyes fixed on the disappearing truck. Every muscle in his body refused to move, not even budge.

"Quit worrying!" Damian faced Zeo with a face of annoyance. "There's no chance that Dr. Ziggurat will return any soon. Now that he's gone, we could almost anything!"

"You have serious mental issues."

"Shut up, Zeo."


Now that Ziggurat's gone, I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas for the next chapter. *Sigh* I'll come up with something later...
