Chapter 4: The Cosmic Mamodo
"I bored," Chris leaned back in his chair staring at his friend Dijon. Dijon was wandering around the house stiffening at the oddest moments. "Well it's weird but I'm actually excited about the next battle and want to get it started," Chris continued. "By the way what are you doing?"
Dijon stiffened again and turned around slowly eyes darting around the room. "I feel something," he said absently. "It's like the feeling I had in the apple fields when I knew Cari was around," he turned to Chris his eyes widening. "I think I'm sensing another Mamodo! It's close!"
Chris sat up. "How close? Where is it?"
"I'm not sure," Dijon stopped and pointed to the door. "Maybe I can pick it up better out there."
The two raced outside and Dijon began walking slowly in circles stopping at times. "Well got anything?" Chris asked excitedly.
Dijon stopped and held up his hand. He suddenly spun around doing a 180 turn and pointed. "That way," he proclaimed.
Chris frowned looking in the direction that Dijon was pointing. "Northwest?" Chris said questioningly checking a compass that hung around his neck. "I think there was some kind of carnival that way today."
Dijon looked quickly. "Carnival? Let's go!"
Chris smiled however serious his Mamodo was he still did things that reminded Chris he was a child. "Your excitement has nothing to do with the Mamodo, does it? But seriously it makes sense that who ever the Mamodo is would be over there. It's a very popular place this time of year."
"So let's go!" Dijon was practically bouncing off the walls.
A Little While Later at the Carnival
"Where could that Mamodo be?" Chris wondered. "The noise around here is deafening. It's so crowded its going to be hard to find anything around here." He turned to Dijon who was walking around staring at all the sights. He smiled, they were there to fight an important battle and Dijon was having the time of his life. "Come on Dijon." Chris turned and began to walk off along the path. He had gone only ten steps when a root from a nearby tree caught his foot. He went down falling flat on his face.
"Are you all right?" Chris looked up to see a pretty black haired girl standing over him looking at him with concern.
His face went red and he stood up. "Yeah, I'm fine." Then he noticed something the girl was holding. It was a dark purple book with strange shapes all over it.
"Well, that's good," the girl said not noticing his sudden interest in what she was holding. "Bye, come on Len." From behind the came a strange looking girl with red hair wearing what looked like a witch's hat and cape.
As the two walked away Chris looked around and saw that Dijon was missing. He ran back the way he came and found Dijon still dreamily looking around the Carnival. "Hey Dijon I found the Mamodo!"
"Really?" Dijon spun around excited "So did I!"
"What?! Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's okay! He went into the Hall of Mirrors place and there are only two entrances. I can see them both from here. In fact he's coming out right now!"
"He? What does he mean? The Mamodo I saw was a girl!" Chris thought as he spun around. Exiting the Hall of Mirrors was a small boy holding a red book. Beside the boy was another boy who had a mischievous look on his face. The two started to walk off. Chris reached down behind Dijon and unclipped the book backpack he wore. Chris pulled his white book from the backpack and took off with Dijon close behind him. The Mamodo boy up ahead turned and saw them. He grinned and patted his partner on the back. His partner saw them turned to his Mamodo and nodded the two raced away from Dijon and Chris down a path between the tents. The chase began and Chris began to wonder what was going on. Every time they lost sight of their quarry the enemy Mamodo would poke his head around a tent and stick his tongue out at them. Finally they arrived at an abandoned ware house behind the edge of the tents.
They ran into the warehouse and came to a curve in the hall as Chris turned the corner he slammed into a girl coming the other way. They both fell and stared at each other stunned for a moment.
"I know you!" Chris exclaimed. "You're the girl from earlier when I fell."
"My names Rachel, what are you doing here…" her voice trailed off as she noticed the book in his hands. Her eyes narrowed. "You're a book keeper."
"I wonder how you figured that out, my names Chris," Chris replied rolling his eyes. "As to why I'm here I'm chasing that boy." He pointed at the boy and his Mamodo who had a girl and her Mamodo with them that he hadn't noticed before. "Who are they?"
"The girl? She's why I'm here," Rachel answered. "Problem is she keeps running away."
"We're done running," the boy said smiling. "Now that you have fallen into our trap. Before we destroy your books allow us to introduce ourselves. I'm James and this is my twin sister Ashley."
His sister nodded. "Like us our Mamodo are also twins, brother and sister. They are Sablen and Kaita. We brought you here because as we are so much alike we are stronger together."
"We're going to lose to a couple of twin kids!" Rachel said. "Len now!" Meogra Len raised one of her hands and a Meteor fired from it towards the twins.
Sablen grin widened. "Weak," he then reached over and grasped his sister's hand. "Hey you two call it out."
James and Ashley nodded. They both raised their books and said together, Togogren A glow raced along the twin Mamodo from where they held hands. A huge orb launched from their free hands. The orb smashed Len's meteor spell and raced toward the girls. Rachel and Len tried to dodge but were blasted back. They both stood slowly, wincing.
Amerillian
A blast of wind shot from Dijon's mouth towards the twins. They watched it approach with a look of boredom. Toshield Two shield walls appeared as an arrow design pointing at the incoming blast. The reason for the shape was soon apparent as the wind blast struck the shield it was split in half sliding along the shield walls until it faded away.
"This isn't good," Chris said to Dijon. "Their power is incredible while their together." He turned and called to Rachel. "We need to work together. We aren't strong enough fighting our own battles."
Rachel glared at him. "Stay out of this!"
"I'm tired of this aren't you?" Ashley said turning to her brother.
"Yep lets end this," James replied. Toruzabon Two swirling blasts that looked almost like ribbons erupted from the twin Mamodo. The wavy energy wrapped together into a huge beam that shot across the ground.
"We have to work together!" Chris called to Rachel again. "It's the only way!"
She watched the beam grow closer and sighed. "I must be crazy but all right. Let's stop them!" Meogra
Chris joined in. Amerillian
The attacks flew together the wind blast pulling the meteor along at an incredible speed. The wind blast connected with the enemy's attack and was blown away but the meteor was powered up by the speed it had been traveling in the wind blast and it destroyed the enemy's attack.
"If we do this together we can win," Chris said. "I have an idea. Do you have anything that can stop them for a second?"
Rachel nodded. "The third spell!" Cauzen Len's hands began to glow as she stretched them out towards the enemy.
Chris raised his book. Amerillian The blast of wind shot once more from Dijon's mouth.
"Come on Sablen, let's stop it again!" Kaita said to her brother.
Their humans raised their books. Toshield Kaita's hands rose and created a shield but Sablen just stood there.
Kaita frowned at him. "Come on Sablen, join in the spell." Then she noticed the scared expression on his face a faint purple glow that covered his body.
"Got you!" Rachel said triumphantly. "Our spell made it so your brother can't move."
"That means…" Kaita's voice trailed off. "NO! Without his shield…"
BOOM! The wind blast slammed into her shield and shattered it. It smashed into the four and sent them flying.
The twins stood up, shaken. "We can still win!" James yelled. "Aim for that boy!" Toruzabon The beam shot towards Chris. There was no time to move!
Suddenly Len leapt in the way. Rachel raised her book. Lashield A circle of energy surrounded Len's body and she took the attack head on. The beam wavered and pushed through the shield then vanished. Len leapt back as the energy from the attack fell to the ground where she had been standing.
"Thanks," Chris said weakly. "For a moment there I thought it was all over."
"Don't thank me yet," Rachel said. "I have an idea. You, attack now!"
Chris nodded and stepped forward with Dijon. Amerillian
The twins raised their books. Toshield The wind blast slammed into their shield hard held pushing hard against it.
Rachel raised her still glowing book. RaMeogra Len raised her hands over her head and ten small meteors launched from them.
Ashley smiled. "Those meteors won't even nick our shield!" She was surprised to see Len grinning back
"I wasn't aiming for a direct attack," Len said. "I have more power over my meteors than that."
The meteors flew up and over the shield then shot downward towards the twins.
"No, this can't happen!" James yelled as the meteors dropped on all four twins. KA-BLAM!
When the dust cleared the last of the fire on the books was going out. The twin Mamodo were gone and their partners lay on the ground knocked out. Rachel and Chris sat down hard, exhausted from all the spells they used.
"Whew, I'm tired," Rachel said. Then she looked at Chris questioningly. "Do you really have only one spell?"
"No, I have two," Chris replied.
"Good, want to battle?" Rachel said slyly. Then noticing the horrified expression on his face she laughed. "Just kidding." They both stood. "Thanks for helping us out." She held out her hand.
Chris looked at for a moment then shook it. "I hope we see you two again. Good bye." With that he and Dijon walked from the building.
Rachel watched them go then turned and looked at the senseless twins. "What should we do with these two?" She asked Len.
"Leave 'em, they'll be fine," Len replied. Then the two turned and left.
