This chapter isn't as good as the others because I've had a lot on my mind. Like Advent Children, Harry potter and Final fantasy VIII so bare with me through this one.
Chapter: 4 The Plan
Later that night after they had gotten ready for bed Kiyo remembered Zatch's dream.
"Oh hey Zatch weren't you going to tell me about your dream today." He said looking over at the sleepy mamodo. Zatch slowly frowned and looked away.
"Yeah." There was a long pause after that.
"Well?" Kiyo said getting a little annoyed. Again another pause but Zatch slowly spoke up and said a simple "ok." and began the Story.
"So his name is Zeno." Kiyo asked after Zatch had finished telling the story.
"Yea but I still can't figure out why he hates me so much." Zatch said hopping down off his bed.
"Well, could you have done anything to tick him off in the mammodo world, like take something that was his?" Kiyo said getting up from his bed as well.
"I don't know and besides in the forest he said I probably didn't know 'him' but he knew all about me." Zatch spoke in a soft whisper.
After a brief moment of silence Kiyo spoke up. "Well I've got nothing." Just as Kiyo was about to turn the light off Zatch spoke up in a soft voice.
"You won't forget me when I'm king, will you?" This took Kiyo completely by surprise.
"Zatch, I could never forget you. You're like a little Brother to me."
Zatch smiled up at him. "Thanks Kiyo." And with that Zatch was back in bed and fast asleep.
Kiyo chuckled and got back into his own bed turned off the light and said "Your Welcome buddy."
The next morning Kiyo was woken by a sudden scream that filled the house. He shot up out of bed and grabbed the spell book. He noticed Zatch was not in bed and decided that was who screamed. Kiyo ran down the stairs and into the living room. "Zatch what's wrong?"
Kiyo looked over by the couch to see the small mammodo crouched down crying over something.
"Zatch?" Zatch murmured something to Kiyo but he didn't catch it. Kiyo walked over and bent down to hear him.
"IT'S…IT'S RUINED! MY VULCAN 300 IS RUINED!" Screamed Zatch into Kiyo's ear. "Ponygon (snivel) must have gotten a hold of it last nightttttttt!"
While Zatch was having a panic attack, Kiyo managed to pry what was left of the cardboard box out of Zatch's hand to examine the damage. It was completelytotaled. The box was shredded, and the chopsticks where broken in three places and chewed on.
"Come on Zatch it was just a stupid box." Kiyo Said standing up and walking into the living room.
"IT IS NOT!" Screamed Zatch as he followed Kiyo. "It was the first present you ever gave me."
Kiyo realized that Zatch was right. Zatch was just like any other child that had a prized possession that they wanted to hold on to. Not to mention that was pretty much the only thing he had ever gotten from Kiyo.
"(Sigh) Ok, look if it makes you happy Ill makes you a new one." He looked down at Zatch.
"O…ok." Zatch said in a short reply.
Kyo was just about to throw away the demolished Vulcan 300 when Zatch screamed.
"WAIT KIYO, DON'T THROW HIM AWAY!"
"Well what do you want me to do with it, give it a proper burial?" Kiyo asked. Zatch Nodded. "Zatch…you are the weirdest mammodo I've ever scene."
As they where walking out the door a sleepy Ponygon came waltzing in. Flames and tears formed in Zatch's eyes and he began to chase the terrorized pony back out the door and into the backyard.
"Looks like Zatch is doing better today." Kiyo said watching the two play cat and mouse. "We really need to find that mamodo that looks like Zatch. Zatch has been through so much hell because of him."
After the Vulcan 300 had had its proper burial with the other Vulcan's that had been demolished, Kiyo decided to take Zatch out to the park. Once there it seemed that Zatch had completely forgotten the Vulcan 300.
As Zatch played around, Kiyo couldn't help but wonder what Zeno was up to. Why was he after Zatch? He knew that part of it was to become king, but 'he' didn't want to send Zatch back to the mamodo world. He wanted Zatch to suffer on this world.
"Kiyo, can I go to the river and catch some yellowtail?" Zatch said knocking Kiyo out of his concentration.
"I guess so." Kiyo said.
"Yeeee, gonna catch some yellowtail, gonna catch some yellowtail, gonna catch some yellowtail for me, me, me!" Zatch sang while he danced around Kiyo's feet.
After spending the rest of the day at the river catching and eating yellowtail, they decided it was time to go home. On the way back they noticed some TV's in a shop.
"Hey Zatch, looks like there still talking about Zeno, It looks like he's struck again. This time at some old run-down high school."
Kiyo said to Zatch staring at the TV.
"Well that's weird. Why in the world does he keep destroying those old build-" SMACK!
Zatch's speech was cut short by a bag of flower that had supposedly fallen from the second story building of the store.
Kiyo looked over at Zatch to see him sprawled out on the ground covered with flowed from head to toe.
"Whoa, Zatch are you ok?" Kiyo asked walking over to Zatch and helping him up.
"CHECK IT OUT, IT'S THAT KID THAT'S BEEN BLOWING UP THOSE BUILDINGS!" Came a sudden yell from across the street. Everyone that was on the street suddenly turned and looked towards Kiyo and Zatch.
"Uh, Zatch I think its time to go" Kiyo said scooping Zatch up in his arms and bolting down the street.
When Kiyo and Zatch arrived home they where exhausted. After managing to get all of the flower off of Zatch, Kiyo decided to bring up the Zeno problem.
"Zatch, I've been thinking," Kiyo started lowering himself down face to face with Zatch "a lot about Zeno for awhile, and I think he is trying to luring us to him."
"But why doesn't he come to us? Why go through all that trouble just to try to lure us to HIM?" Zatch questioned jumping up and down.
"I have no clue, But I do know where he's going to strike next." Kiyo said standing up and walking over to the window.
"You Do? How?" asked Zatch staring over at the silent teenager.
"Yea I figured it out over at the Park today. In town he's only been destroying the really old building. From the 1960's or something like that. And well, since there is only three really old buildings in town he must be planning to destroy the third one." Kiyo said opening his window and letting the cool night breeze blow through his dark brown hair.
"So what is it?" Zatch said anxiously as he walked over to Kiyo.
"He's going to hit the old orphanage down the block from here. And he's planning to hit it tonight." Kiyo said looking over at Zatch. "So tonight when mom goes to bed we'll sneak out and go over there."Zatch nodded in approval.
"Lets get ready we'll need to leave at about 11:30 If were going to get down there before he destroys it." Kiyo said as he walked over to his closet and pulled out his backpack.
He grabbed the first aid kit that was right behind the backpack. Kiyo had learned to take it where ever he went, because you never know when your going to run into a mammodo.
Zatch walked over and handed Kiyo the spell book. "No one else will suffer because of Zeno anymore after we defeat them right Kiyo?" Zatch asked.
"Right pal." Kiyo said patting Zatch on the head.
I'll try my best to make this story good but in order to do that you must R & R. Yay This chapter was actually longer than the other's. I fixed some of the errors in the story that I had over looked. Thanks Twilight Memories for pointing them out to me. o
