Chapter 7:
To Protect What's Important
Zeon and Dyufo had entered Faudo to defeat Riou and take control over Faudo. Zeon stopped all ofa sudden.
"Zeon?" Dyufo asked.
"She's here." Zeon said looking at him.
"Kara-chan?" Dyufo paused then asked, "do you know where she might be?"
"Not yet." Zeon paused then said angrily. "I can tell she's seriously injured though. When I find the demon who harmed her. They will be the first to get their book destroyed. With no mercy."
Kara opened her eyes weakly as she sensed Zeon and Dyufo. Even thinking of him made her heart ache. "I doubt he came for me. If he threatened to use his power against me. There's no way he would come to save me."
"What are you thinking about woman?" Spoke the demon who had captured her.
"None of your damn business." Kara said glaring at him.
"Read the spell." The demon told his book owner.
"Oruda Shidona!" The book owner yelled.
Kara screamed in agony as swords made by shadows peirced through her body.
Riou grinned hearing Kara scream in pain.
"Zaruchimu must be arguing with the woman again." He said smirking at Earth and Ellie.
They had begun to battle again.
"I see it's you who were doing that." Spoke a cold voice towards Zaruchimu.
Zaruchimu looked towards Zeon and Dyufo in shock and fear.
"Wh-who are you?" Zaruchimu asked backing away as he released his attack on Kara.
Kara had fallen to the ground unconscious.
Zeon held his hand out and Dyufo had read one of the spells.
"Jauro Zakeruga!"
Zaruchimu had screamed in agony and pain as the electricity shot through his body. Which eventually burned his book.
"Zeon." Dyufo said as he went over to Kara.
"Kara." Zeon said rushing over towards her. He looked pleased at seeing her open her eyes at hearing him say her name.
Kara had opened her eyes weakly as she heard Zeon's voice.
But as soon as she opened them they drifted shut once again.
"I must be dreaming to think he's really here. What a cruel trick my heart's playing with me." Kara whispered losing consciouness.
Zeon felt his eyes flinch at Kara's words. He placed his hand over his chest and squeezed the brooch he wore. "Kara."
"Let's go Zeon. Maybe we can find one of the Mamodo's and make them heal her." Dyufo said looking at him.
Zeon nodded his head. He picked Kara up and carried her on his back. They had left the next moment.
Riou had begun to fight a few of the mamodo's and their partners. He had begun to call for Zaruichimu.
But noone answered back.
All of a sudden the doors behind him opened up.
"If you're talking about Zaruchimu, he went back to the Mamodo world a long time ago."
"Who's there?" Riou asked.
"I wonder if this is our first time meeting Riou." Zeon paused then said as he gently placed Kara down on the ground. "No. If you look at my hair and my eyes, you should recognize me."
Riou looked shocked towards Zeon. "Impossible. The one who loves to fight, with white hair. You're Riato Zeon. The one who undertook intensive training, and despite his age, became quite strong. Why is someone like you here anyway?! Why now?!"
"Why you ask? That Zaruchimu person realized about my existence from you." Zeon said looking at Riou.
Riou remembered his conversation with Zaruichmu. "Damn it! Just when we're making plans to resurrect Faudo. Why is a Mamodo who poses a threat coming here?!"
"I don't know who it is. But there's a guy out there that's watching us.." Zaruchimu said.
"You've served your purpose by releasing Faudo, but now you're of no more use.." Zeon paused then said as he looked towards Kara and back at Riou with rage in his eyes. "Now. Disappear!" Zeon said releasing his power.
"What power?!" Riou thought shockingly. He backed away from him. But Zeon quickly gained speed and reached his hand out in front of Riou. "He's putting his palm of his hand strait at me!"
"Zakeru." Dyufo said looking at Riou and his partner.
"He's the same as Gash. But the difference in power is quite the opposite!" Thought the dark haired boy watching the battle.
"Banikisu!" Riou yelled.
"Gigano Fanon!" Banikisu yelled.
The next moment a lion emerged from his stomache.
Zeon had stopped it with his bare hand, surprising Riou.
"Zakeruga!" Dyufo said.
The next moment Lightning emerged from Zeon's hand and engulfed Riou's attack. Defeating it easily.
Dyufo watched the battle and thought, "It's too bad for them. I'm going to continue to throw out techniques."
Riou crashed into the ceiling and as he started to fall down Zeon grabbed his head and had electricity flow from his hand as he threw him down.
"What's wrong? You're not going to be brought down by a weak spell are you?"
"Don't underestimate me." Riou said as he had gotten up with his staff. "I'm the best Mamodo who can control Faudo!"
"Hmph, the best huh?" Zeon paused then said glaring at him. "That's a funny thought. I could really laugh at your stupidity."
"Stay with it Riou!" His partner yelled. "Baagasu Fanon!" He yelled. The next moment the fangs on Riou's stomache extened trying to spear Zeon. But Zeon was too fast for the attack to hit him.
"Why you!" Riou yelled throwing his staff at Zeon.
Zeon easily grabbed the staff and deflected the attack. The next moment he stepped on Riou's head as he said, "this is a let down. Your family household couldn't even teach you how to use this power?" The next moment he broke Riou's staff. "Look here, I'll wait, so hurry and wake up! Even so , are you even saving up strength?"
Riou's partner looked on in shock at Riou being outmatched by Zeon.
"You really are weak." Zeon said stepping on Riou's head pushing his face into the ground.
"If I only realized someone like you was out there. I could have prepared myself more for this."
"And that is why I had gone into hiding." Zeon paused then said, "I guess, you were pretending to be like another mamodo hiding their power, right? But you've gone and attacked someone who didn't even belong in this battle." Zeon said looking towards Kara and seen she was beginning to regain consciousness. "That is attacking my pride. And that is unforgivable!"
Dyufo looked towards Kara and saw she was beginning to wake up. "Zeon had just confessed his love for Kara-chan. I wonder if she heard his words?"
"Damn it!" Riou thought angrily. "Banikisu, Banikisu!"
"Garu Fanon!" Banikisu yelled.
Zeon smirked as he stepped back a little bit and swung his foot towards Riou.
Riou tried to block it with his arms. But it was no use as Zeon was too powerful to defend against.
Zeon began laughing as he said, "thank god, you've finally woken up!"
"There's no humor here." Dyufo said walking up to Zeon. "Fights always seem like playing to you.."
"Just the thought of obtaining such a power as Faudo, makes these fights exciting." Zeon said grinning.
The other people with the mamodos began whispering among eachother.
Zeon looked towards them and said, "oh yeah. I completely forgot about you guys... Dyufo!" Zeon yelled as he pointed his hand towards everyone.
"Zakeru!" Dyufo said.
The next moment Zeon had lightning emerge from his hand. And as he moved his hand the lightning seemed to connect to the last person it struck.
Zeon looked over his shoulder and said glaring at the blond haired mamodo. "When I'm done, I'll have fun defeating you guys.." He turned his attention back towards Riou, "but first Riou. I'm starting with you."
"Don't mess with me! Do you actually think I'll be done in by a small one like you!?" Riou yelled towards Zeon. And before he realized it. Zeon was standing above him.
"Just be quiet! I've grown tired of your complaining."
"Zakeru!" Dyufo said.
Riou fell to the ground from the force of the attack.
Zeon landed back on the ground as he said, "get a little more desperate. Maybe you'll start to put up more of a fight."
"Banikisu! It's an emergency!" Riou yelled desperately as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
"What the?! I have to use that spell?" Banikisu asked shocked. "But if I use it.."
"There is no other choice!" Riou yelled towards him.
"I understand."
"If you cast the spell, then these interferences will soon disappear. There's nothing we can do except for you to cast the spell! DO IT! Banikisu!"
"Yes," he said opening the book that had Riou's spells in it. "Girufadom Barusuruk!"
The next moment, Riou's body began to change and grow humungous. He had looked like a lion.
But his body was humungous.
Zeon watched Riou change and seemed unaffected by it. "An emergency huh.."
"What are you going to do Zeon?" Dyufo asked.
"If it comes to this.. Just like I thought..." Zeon said as he jumped towards Riou. He swung his leg and kicked him in the jaw knocking some of his teeth out. He jumped back and said, "I don't even need a spell to take you down in this form of yours."
The next moment Riou fell onto the ground.
"No matter what you use.." Zeon paused then said as he went towards Riou and slammed into his body. "I'd take you down in one spell!" Zeon said as he continued to fight against Riou.
"No way... How can such a small child do such damge without even spells?!" Banikisu asked shockingly.
"Zeon, very soon here playtime will be over."
Zeon looked over towards Dyufo as he spoke then grinned placing his hand above Riou.
"Teo Zakeru!" Dyufo yelled and the next moment a powerful lightning bolt came from Zeon's hand and seemed to go everywhere on Riou's body at once.
"Riou!" Banikisu yelled towards him.
Dyufo had watched the battle.
Zeon had landed back down in front of Riou and glared at him once again.
"You've got to be kidding me... Even though I've made it this far.. Somehow, I've suffered such hardships..." Riou thought as he had remembered what his father had told him. "I will become the king!" Riou yelled.
"Fanon Riou Diou!" Banikis yelled summoning a giant Cerberus from Riou.
Zeon looked towards him and held his hand out.
"Jauro Zakeruga!"
The next moment a ring of electricity emerged from his hand and had seven singular Zaker's coming from it, attacking Riou from all directions.
"The king... I Will become the..." Riou yelled his final words before getting his book burned. The next moment, the jewel that was placed on Riou's forhead had fallen towards the ground.
Zeon had picked the jewel up and went back over to where Kara was.
She had fallen back to sleep.
He picked her up and said looking at Dyufo. "I sense there's a momodo who has spells that can heal any injury. Let's find them and have them heal Kara-chan."
"Right." Dyufo said as he left with Zeon.
