Okay here's another chapter.
I do not own Zatch Bell. If I did, then I would have an awesome mamodo. Not really... I can dream, can't I?
Divine Storm
Chapter 7
"You won't get away with this, Furda."
Drax was staring down Furda and was intent on killing him. Drax was a tall mamodo with long black hair, light green skin, and huge wings that looked like they were torn in half and ripped apart by something. The most unusual things about Drax were his eyes. They looked like shattered orbs, with black lines and cracks on his pupils. One eye was cerulean, the other eye was both gray and blood red, the two colors mixed together like two paints mixed together on a pallet.
"You won't get away with trying to stop me, Drax."
Furda glared at Drax before signaling to his bookkeeper to cast a spell. Furda was a mamodo wearing a bronze medium helmet, glowing red armor, and heavy metal gloves. Furda's eyes were an unnatural azure and red mix.
"Amuruk!"
Furda placed one fist in front of him and it grew to an enormous proportion. Furda used his fist to smash Drax into a wall.
"I'' deal with you first, bug."
"Looks like it's time to bail, Roland."
"Don't leave, Gatrion. If you do, I will hunt you down and personally burn your book."
"Like I care, Zalior. I know who this guy is; let's just say there's no chance of you walking outta here."
Gatrion let out a scratchy laugh. Zalior's eyes widened for a second. What was he talking about? Gatrion had never shown this level of intelligence before; how did he know about this mamodo beforehand?
"Fliusen!"
Roland climbed on Gatrion's back and Gatrion tore through the wall at breakneck speed.
"Thanks for distracting Zalior, whoever you are."
Gatrion sprinkled the last three words with a liberal amount of sarcasm. He turned to Zalior with a knowing look, one that seemed to say: 'You're on your own, pal. I'm not touching that.'
"Well... see you later Scythey!""
Zalior blinked before realizing what he'd just heard. His fists clenched. The beetle mamodo noticed, and gave the scythe mamodo an extra-wide smile before turning his back to him abruptly.
"Fligaruk!"
Gatrion's wings hummed with a rapid series of vibrations, and he took off like a rocket, hurtling into the sky and flying away with his bookkeeper on his back, abandoning Zalior and the recently-arrived Drax there to face their presumably powerful foe.
"Hey, get back here!"
"Leave him alone. Maybe he'll join me once I burn your book, Zalior. He only stayed loyal to you for fear of elimination. Unlike my mamodo, who stay loyal to me out of actual loyalty."
"It's none of your concern, anyway."
"Really? He pulled the wool over your eyes, too? And here I was, thinking you were smart. You didn't even recognize me or your friend here...", his hand extended, patting Qiso on the back hard with his metal glove. Qiso winced in pain and massaged his back lightly before smiling nervously and ever-so-slightly at his supposed savior. "... from the elite academy."
The winged mamodo ran at Furda shouting before Zalior could process his words and realize what his opponent was saying.
"Hey, Furda! We're battling here, you know!"
"Ragyuru Rosudo!"
Drax put his wings next to each other and they turned into a giant carving blade that slashed towards Furda.
"Am Akusu!"
Furda's fist turned into a giant battle-axe; the two blades collided and clashed in a struggle for the upper hand.
"Scillor!"
Zalior threw an energy scythe at Furda, so Furda had to jump back with his bookkeeper to avoid the spell. The mamodo punched the energy scythe with a heavy gauntlet and destroyed it without even using a spell. Furda was forced to jump back an instant later to avoid Drax's blade spell, which had not been cancelled yet.
"Giga Scilloruk!"
Zalior started gllowing with an unnatural dark purple aura and he grew purple energy claws. Zalior jumped at Furda and tried to slash him with his energy claws. Suddenly, a giant spiked worm-like beast emerged from the ground and knocked Zalior back. Multiple spiked worms came out of the ground and struck Drax's spell, destroying it and lunging at Drax.
"Gigano Ragyuru!"
Drax fired a giant dark blast from his wings.
"Ganzu Gairon!"
All of the spiked worms emerged from the ground and fired many sharp nails from each of their mouths. The nails fired from all directions with overwhelming numbers, destroying the spell.
"Hey, those are Qiso's spells!"
"And you're supposed to be an evil mastermind, Zalior? If you recall, which I doubt you do, I never cancelled our Dioga-class spell. You're done, Zalior. Qiso was going to say this before Furda and Drax stepped in, but he didn't warn you that Dioga Gairodon makes each of the spiked worm beasts fire out their own spell every time I cast a spell. So, multiply one spell by the number of spiked worm beasts that there are, each firing a separate spell, and you have a lost battle for you."
"You tell 'em, Karen!"
"You were supposed to tell them, you idiot!"
Karen whacked Qiso over the head, giving him a big bump there. Everyone sweat-dropped at the sight.
"Whoa, Qiso, your bookkeeper's got you whipped."
Shira, Drax's bookkeeper, whacked him over the head when she heard this.
"You moron! He had it coming!"
"That time of the m-"
The subsequent blows gave Drax a bloody nose and a bruised face.
"Speaking objectively, I don't think I'll ever understand women, Nita."
"You and me both, buddy. Women are so complicated sometimes."
"Drax, aim your wings at them; I'm using our strongest spell."
Drax was shivering in the background, his wings folded over his head as if to prevent another beating, cowering in fear from Shira.
"Uhhh, Shira, could you calm down now?"
"Of course, Drax. All you had to do was ask."
"Phew, I thought that would never end."
Shira started bursting out in tears.
"Drax, how could you say that? You're so inconsiderate! You asshole!"
"Uh, Shira, why are you acting like we're in a relationship? I mean, don't get me wrong, please, please don't, but you're my bookkeeper, of course we would have a friendly relationship. But not like that, Shira."
"So you're using me? I thought we were friends!"
Nita was getting annoyed by this argument, so he interrupted them.
"Just stop this shit now!"
Both turned their heads in unison eerily, sending chills down Nita's spine.
"You stay out of this!"
Shira was fuming right now. In fact, if you looked closely, you could probably see smoke erupting from her head. She was giving Nita the demon eyes (Think Kiyo's angry face without the tusks and Bari's killing intent combined).
"Ragyuru!"
Drax fired a small,accurate beam from his wings that was aimed at Nita. Nita ducked, but the beam singed his hair.
"My hair! Now everyone'll recognize me! Now, I can't get an alias to disguise myself. All the mamodo will recognize us and attack us every time we go out."
Zalior sweat-dropped at this comment. Qiso muttered something about Niro and himself not looking for a fight in the first place.
"Nita, you don't have an alias."
"But what if I get one?"
"Enough! Marth, cast a spell so I can destroy them!"
"Emron!"
Furda's fist grew and started flaming. Furda streched his arm out very far and tried to punch Drax.
"Ganzu Ragyuru!"
Drax's wings turned into multi-turret guns and he fired multiple blasts from them. The blasts hit the flaming fist, extinguished it, and hit Furda's arm, making it wind back into its socket.
"Gigano Gairodazu!"
All of the spiked worm beasts each fired out two spiked nail drills, swarming the air with spiked nail drills. Shira and Nita put more energy into their books and both of their books were releasing a huge, glowing aura.
"Gigano Ragyuru!"
"Gigano Scillor!"
Drax fired a giant dark blast from his wings and it destroyed a few of the nail drills before being punctured and destroyed by the other nail drills. Zalior summoned a giant purple energy scythe and threw it at the nail drills, destroying a good number of them before being punctured and destroyed by the other nail drills.
"Amurusen!"
Furda's fist glowed and he fired out stone spikes from his fists. The stone spikes ripped through some of the nail drills before crumbling.
"What are you doing, Furda?"
"We should leave now. We have made one of Zalior's allies desert him and we have shown Zalior our power."
Karen closed the book and cancelled the spell. The dark pink book stopped glowing and the nail drills and spiked worm beasts disappeared.
"How does it feel to be beaten, Zalior?"
"I will burn your book. I will burn your books, this I swear."
"Big words for someone who played sidekick in a battle. Drax did all the work, you did nothing in that battle."
"That's not true! Nita, show them how wrong they are!"
"Ganzu Scillosen!"
Zalior fired out multiple purple energy blasts at Furda and Qiso.
"Shira, stop those fools!"
"Gigano Ragyu-"
"Am Baskaguru!"
Shira was cut off by another mamodo, who fired off his armored fist propelled by rockets and smashed into Zalior, knocking Zalior to the ground. The energy blasts were fired at the ceiling and hit the ceiling. Giant chunks of the ceiling came crashing down on everyone in the vicinity.
"Bagasu Gairodon!"
"Gigano Amuruk!"
Qiso's nails expanded and multiplied, so countless nails extended and cut off a section of the wreckage before it hit the ground. Furda pointed his fist up at the wreckage and it expanded to a huge size and destroyed the piece of debris. The rest of the ceiling was still collapsing on everyone else.
"See you later, losers."
Qiso picked up Niro and Furda picked up Aaron and they prepared to leave.
"Gairon!"
Qiso's nails turned into beams and they tore a hole in the wall.
"Have a good time dying, chumps."
Qiso and Furda walked away, leaving Zalior, Drax, and the newly-arrived mamodo to save the civilians there.
"Hey, Lear, haven't seen you in a while? What's up?"
"The ceiling, which is now collapsing on us! Get moving, Drax!"
"Right, my bad."
"Rei Baskaguru!"
Lear's leg strength and speed increased and he sprinted over at an incredible speed to the civilians there.
"Gigam Baskaguru!"
Lear's arm strength greatly increased and he swung upwards with his insane strength and smashed the wreckage there into smaller pieces.
"Ragyuuga!"
Drax fired out a giant, corkscrew-like beam from his wings, which smashed the smaller pieces of debris into harmless fragments.
"Aram Baskaruk!"
Giant blades emerged from the armor covering Lear's arms. Lear ran over to another piece of wreckage and sliced through it with his blades.
"Ragyuuga!"
Drax fired out another corkscrew-shaped beam from his wings, destroying the pieces of debris completely.
"Drax, I got this last one on my own. Check out my new spells."
"Gararam Basukado!"
Metal rings appeared around the blades on Lear's arms, and they appeared all around his body. Armor appeared in the areas between the rings and the blades expanded, sticking out of the armor. Multiple blades stuck out of the armor. Lear leaped into the air and spun at the giant piece of debris and smashed it into countless smaller pieces of debris.
"Hey, Lear, you need some help with all of those?"
"No, I got it, Drax!"
"Gigano Garbaskudo!"
Multiple giant, metal, dome-shaped shields appeared. The shields were propelled by rockets and they had a giant spike on the front of them.
"Move forward!"
The giant shields were propelled by rockets towards the smaller pieces.
"Watch this, Drax. If this attack ever fails, I can just do this. Deconstruct! Fuse!"
The giant shields turned into giant pieces of scrap metal and there was a giant fireball behind each shield. The scrap metal fused together to make a giant spiked metal ball which smashed into the wreckage and demolished some of it before falling to the ground and bursting open. A giant fireball appeared and burned up all of the remaining wreckage.
"Good job, Lear. But now we have a fire disaster."
"No problem for me!"
"Aram Basukado!"
Multiple slicing energy waves were released from the blades on Lear's arms. The slicing energy waves separated the fireball into smaller fireballs.
"Gyan Basukado!"
A metal shield was formedin front of Lear. The metal shield had holes in it and had a spike on the front of it. Energy blasts were fired from all of the holes on the shield and they hit the fire again and again, blasting holes in it and making it smaller until it disapeared.
"Ta da! And that's why I'm the best!"
"Hey, you two, care to join me?"
"Join you! No way! We work together only, not with other mamodo. But, if you go up against Furda, call us up and we'll assist you."
"That's good, because I could use some allies against Furda. By the way, what's with Shira's mood swings?"
"Oh no, it's not what you think. She's just very crazy."
"What did you say, Drax?"
"Nothing, Shira! I didn't say a thing about you. Wait, what are you doing? No, not the iron gauntlets! Yeowch, that really hurts!"
Zalior and Nita both sweat dropped.
"Anyways, do you know any other mamodo that could be our allies?"
"Well, the last time we fought Furda, he said he had his eyes on a mamodo on Louisiana."
"What's so special about him?"
"He's never lost a battle. Did you hear about the massive destruction of the swamps in Louisiana?"
"Another tree hugger. Oh cry me a river, you stupid hippies."(This statement is not my opinion, as I like the environment)
"No, that was his only battle so far. After his first battle, mamodo heard the rumours and avoided the whole state of Louisiana completely."
"I can call up a company jet. We need to get there before he does!"
"It's useless. Furda made sure he could get around easy by recruiting a mamodo with instant teleportation early in the tournament."
"I feel sorry for Furda."
"Furda won't battle if it's that risky. There may be one hundred mamodo, but Furda acts like he can squander his mamodo like money. Furda will sacrifice up to three of his own mamodo to test a powerful mamodo, and he'll use another one just to ask that mamodo to join him. That's how he has a lot of powerful mamodo on his side. They see his influence over that many mamodo, and they figure it's best to join him."
"How are there that many mamodo here?"
"I don't know, it seems like the one hundred mamodo are much more tight-knit and closer together than before, even rival mamodo seem to be closer. It's like there is one force driving the mamodo out of their territories."
"Or more mamodo overall."
"That's statistically impossible, Zalior!"
"I thought so too, but I heard a rumor that a mamodo named Ryu knows what's going on, and this time, the mamodo fight is definitely not going as the tradition has been going. But, Ryu is nearly impossible to get to, as his mamodo alliance is more powerful than Furda's and mine combined."
"Now that's serious power. Of course, Furda could turn the tables if he had that invincible mamodo."
"Come on, you guys. How 'invincible' can this mamodo be?"
"If Furda fears him, then there's not telling how powerful he could be."
Somewhere in Louisina, U. S. A.
"Hey, Furda, why did you bring me along?"
"Because I said so, Escor. Now, if you're finished, do your job."
"Alright, now you want to burn this guy's book?"
"Sure, why not? I don't doubt you can do it."
"Sure thing, Furda, I mean, Master Furda. Sorry."
A vein bulged on Furda's forehead, but he didn't show his emotion to the other mamodo.
Escor and his bookkeeper, Sarah, knocked on the door of the house in the bayou. Furda shook his head. He looked at Escor's back, and waved, as if to say goodbye to the smaller mamodo, who had icy blue hair and dark green eyes. A smile crept its way onto his features, showing his anticipation for the coming conflict.
A chubby boy with curly orange hair and freckles answered the door.
"Hey, how may I help you?"
"Hmmm, we need help with... What we need help with, Sarah?"
Why don't we walk outside and discuss this?"
They walked out onto the wooden dock.
"So, what is it you need again?"
Sarah pulled out a dark blue book from her purse. The boy backed up slowly, but not fast enough.
"Freezudo!"
Escor fired out an icy breath from his mouth, which froze the boy's feet to the ground.
"This is what we need help with. Do you have a book we could burn?"
At that moment, an alligator jumped out from the murky water and landed on the dock. The "alligator" stood up on its hind legs and gave the book tied to its back to the boy.
"Dakota, did these guys hurt you?"
"No, Gakote, but my feet are numb."
Gakote's pupils disappeared and he became angry.
"Don't you ever hurt Dakota, you hear me?"
Escor started laughing hysterically.
"No, I don't hear you, you stupid croc. Could you growl into my other ear? I don't think I'm deaf yet! Look at this guy, Sarah; what a class act."
While he was busy gloating, Escor was caught off-guard, giving the beastly mamodo a huge opening. The 'crocodile' took the opportunity to slash his smaller foe. Escor gasped and grabbed the bleeding scratch wound. The 'crocodile' looked down at its claws with an indecipherable expression.
"I'll get you for this, you freak! You're going down, croc!"
"I'm an alligator mamodo, you scum! And you will pay for attacking my bookkeeper, coward!"
Nearby, Furda and his bookkeeper Marth were sitting on a tree branch.
"You didn't have to sacrifice him. We could have tested him ourself."
"If he's as powerful as they say, that might be dangerous for us."
"Yeah, but Escor is so doomed."
"That's the point. He was useless to me anyways."
Nearby, Escor started sneezing.
"Hey, you! Don't sneeze when I'm about to destroy you."
"I'm gonna destroy you!"
"We'll see about that! Sarah, let's get them!"
"Ganzu Gikor!"
A flurry of sharp icicles flew at Gakote and Dakota. Dakota sneered at his opponents, who dared to attack a mamodo with Gakote's reputation.
"You just made the biggest mistake of your life. You're a goner all right."
Okay, that's Chapter 7. Just review if you can, okay.
