Chapter 4
The days passed by quickly. The day Zatch and Tia got the message about the king of kings was on Sunday. It was already Friday.
"Kiyo...are you ready for Sunday?" asked Megumi in a concerned voice.
"No, to tell you the truth, I'm not even close. But I have no choice but to confront this problem head on," said Kiyo.
"Don't worry Kiyo. Nothing's gonna happen to us. Not with Tia and Zatch there."
Kiyo just smiled and gave Megumi a hug.
"If I don't get out of this alive, I want you to know I love you with all my heart, and I'll protect you even if it costs me my life."
This time, it was Megumi who showed affection toward Kiyo, except Megumi kissed Kiyo instead of hugging.
Meanwhile in Kiyo's room....
"Zatch, what are we going to do? The Mamodos in this tournament are extremely powerful. There's no way we can win," said Tia.
"Tia, I have a trick up my sleeve that I have yet to reveal. Did you forget that I had 3 new spells? Only 2 have been revealed. The third one will be incredibly powerful. It's the most powerful weapon in my arsenal. The best part is, it'll go great with your Chaajiru Saifodon," said Zatch.
"Really? What is it and what does it do?" asked Tia.
Zatch whispers in Tia's ear, exposing his most powerful spell to his girlfriend.
"You really think it'll change the game up?" asked Tia.
"Yeah, it will," said Zatch
Zatch and Kiyo kissed Tia and Megumi goodnight. They immediately went to bed.
The next day....
-ding dong-
Zatch answers the door.
"Morning Tia and Megumi!" said Zatch giving Tia a kiss just like every day.
"Morning Zatch!" said Tia and Megumi.
"Zatch could you go get Kiyo for me?" asked Megumi.
"Sure," said Zatch
"Kiyo! Megumi's here. She said she wants to see you," said Zatch.
Kiyo takes Megumi into the other room and leaves Tia and Zatch alone.
"So Tia, one more day until we fight for the title of king of kings."
"Yeah... I'm still pretty scared, but being with you makes me feel better," said Tia.
"Thanks Tia. How bout we spend our last day together?"
"Yeah of course! That's probably what Kiyo and Megumi are talking about too."
"Kiyo we're leaving! See you later!" screamed Zatch.
Zatch and Tia spent the whole day together at the park. Kiyo and Megumi decided to change things up a bit and go to the beach.
The day quickly ended and Tia started to cry.
"Tia why're you crying?" asked Zatch
"What if we can never do this again?"
"Tia, I already told you it'll be alright. I promise to protect you."
"What if you try and die while you are? There's no reason to live without you."
"Tia, I promise the four of us will make it out of this alive, and we'll win the battle."
"Just promise you'll be careful not to get severely hurt."
"I promise."
Tia hugs Zatch and smiles.
The day ended a bit differently. Megumi and Tia decided to sleep at Kiyo's house that night. Everyone fell asleep except Tia. She was watching Zatch sleep when he said...
"I will protect you Tia. No matter what happens, I'll always love you."
Before Tia could hear the rest of Zatch's sleep talking, she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Morning came so quickly.
The great Mamodo appeared.
"Zatch, Tia, and mortals...are you ready?" asked the mysterious Mamodo.
"Yeah, we are," said Kiyo.
"Now entering hell," said the great Mamodo.
A dark portal appeared in front of the four and they stepped into the darkness.
