Story

Normal POV.

"Greetings... the one and only Hybrid mamodo, and greetings to you... reader of the Hybrid Book." the kid greeted us. "My name's Biburio, and this is my partner Nazoka Sawama."

The woman greeted by waving her hands at me and Zero. "Oh boy." my mamodo responded sarcastically.

"And we like to speak to you about something very important. We've come to ask you two to join up with us." Biburio spoke. Rahkshi was surprised, but Zero still looked normal.

"Fascinating," Zero spoke sarcastically again.

"Why?" Rahkshi asked. Zero rolled his eyes.

"Maybe you already know this, but only one mamodo can become king of the Makai during each battle. And if an mamodo who does evil deeds in the battle becomes the king, bad things will happen to the mamodo world." Nazoka spoke next, Rahkshi nodded and Nazoka continued. "So the mamodo who becomes the king must have a pure and fair heart. Is that true?"

"That would be so wonderful," Zero said sarcastically again.

'What she's saying makes sense, but still. What's with these guys showing up here now of all times?' Zero's partner said in his thoughts, unknowing what to do. Zero wasn't buying this, but pretended to go along.

"Zero's been very famous and infamous back in the mamodo world. So if we join forces together, we'll be become stronger and gain even more power." Biburio finished.

"I can't believe you're still talking." Zero finished, but this time normally.

"What?" Nazoka asked.

"Forget it, the only one becoming king here is me." Zero spoke up.

"Not gonna happen!" Biburio grabbed Zero by the shoulders and lifted him up. "I need your power to make me the king! I want your power and no matter what, I will have your power!"

"I knew it, you're as bad as everyone else I'm gonna battle. Rahk!" Zero called to his partner. Rahkshi opened the hybrid book.

"Raker" Zero was able to free his left hand and aimed at blond mamodo's face. The light/dark beam erupted from his palm and blasted both Biburio and Sawama right off the front porch and into the street. "Rahkshi, lets fight these clowns." Rahk nodded, knowing that they have to fight one way or another. The hybrid mamodo and the brunette ran out to the street to fight Biburio and Sawama. Fortunately, there weren't any cars, trucks, or vans showing up.

"I will have Zero's power even if it's the last thing I do. And we have some help with us," Biburio said angrily.

"Help?" Rahkshi asked in confusion. Biburio snickered as a man came by. But Rahk gasped in shock of the sight of the man; the man who was the book owner of the very first mamodo Rahkshi and Zero fought in very first battle.

Biburio snapped his finger, and Sawama read from the tan-colored book "Animuto"

Before Zero and Rahkshi's eyes, a creature was appearing, the same way a mamodo disappears when its spell book is burned, except backwards this time. There stood the mamodo that Zero and Rahkshi defeated in their very first battle.

"Hey, what gives? How come I'm back on this world?" the mamodo kid asked in shock.

"Because I brought you back," answered Biburio. "Now here's your chance for revenge again them," Biburio pointed an accusing finger at Zero and Rahkshi. The mamodo kid saw that was getting very angry. The mamodo kid noticed that his spell book appeared with him as well, looking brand new, as if it was never burned. "That's right, take your anger out on them."

"Reigar" the man read from the mamodo kid's spell book. The kid mamodo's arms formed together into a cannon, and then fired a beam out at Zero and Rahkshi.

"We've beat them once and we'll do it again. Raker!" Rahkshi read the first spell again. Zero fired his light/dark beam and it collided with the laser beam. After the collision, both the hybrid and his brunette partner was talking while the smoke was still in between the teams.

"Get them!" Biburio ordered the mamodo kid and his partner. They charged straight into the smoke.

"Rahk, you go left, I'll go right! Go!" out of each side of the kicked up dirt, Zero was running to the right side while Rahkshi was running to the left side. Both were running pass the mamodo kid and his partner and were heading straight towards Biburio and Nazoka.

"Human, get both of them!" shouted the mamodo kid, holding his hands out at Zero and Rahk.

"Ganzu Reigar" "Reiga Fureido"

The mamodo kid's left arm transformed into a Gatling Gun as his right arm transformed into a flame thrower. The Gatling Gun fired bullets at Zero as the flame thrower spewed fire out at Rahkshi. Zero easily dodged the bullets with ease like a professional.

"Trashield" Zero held his hand out at Rahkshi, and a pyramid-shaped barrier of light and darkness surrounded his partner, protecting him from the fire spell. However, Rahksh grunted as he held his left shoulder with his free hand. "Excellent, now time for the fifth spell."

"Fifth spell? Since when did we get the fifth spell?"

"Since we got back from Europe. Ready?" Rahkshi turned a page in the multi-colored spell book to a page where new mamodo writing was shining in black and white light. Then here we go. The fifth spell: Rior Raker"

A Raker spell erupted out of both of Zero's hands, one hitting the mamodo kid and the other hitting the man. "Awesome, Zero! A Raker spell that is fired from both of your hands!" Rahkshi said all excited.

'But this isn't the spell I wanted,' Zero said in his thought, looking down at his hands 'but it'll have to do.'

"Now for you two!" Rahk said over at Biburio and Sawama.

"Not so fast!" the mamodo kid got back up as his human partner read from his book.

"Reigar" the mamodo kid's hands morphed into a cannon that fired a laser out.

"Rior Raker"

Zero fired two Raker spells, one out of each of his hands. The one that was fired from his left hand collided with the laser beam, and the one fired out of his right hand was coming straight at Biburio and Nazoka.

"Sawama, the third spell." Biburio ordered the human next to him.

"Got it," she quickly flipped to the next page and read their third spell. "Barude Animua"

Biburio aimed his hand at a nearby fire hydrant on the sidewalk and his hand glowed. The fire hydrant suddenly became animated and came to life. The hydrant jumped in the way and took the hit from the light/dark beam. Biburio then threw what remains of the hydrant, which were sharp shards at the hybrid mamodo.

"Now we've got you trapped." the mamodo said slyly, aiming his hand out.

"Ganzu Regar" the mamodo kid's arm morphed into a Gatling Gun and rapidly fired bullets at the brunette.

"You guys, forget, we still have a defense spell. Trashield" Rahkshi flipped to the page he was previously on and called out the second spell. The pyramid-shaped barrier appeared over Zero and Rahkshi and it reflected the attacks back with an explosive aura fused with all the reflected attacks.

"No, not again! No!" the mamodo kid and his book owner were hit by the reflected bullets that exploded on contact and set the mamodo kids spell on fire. "I can't believe I lost to them again!" and with that last line, the mamodo kid disappeared, just like before.

"That's one down-ouch!" Rahkshi grunted again, and placed his right hand on his left shoulder. 'Damn it. The pain's getting worse, maybe I should take it easy for now on.' he said in his thoughts. He carefully tried to stand up.

"And one more to go. Rahk, blast them!" Zero said, aiming his right hand at Biburio and Sawama.

'Gotta take it easy.' Rahk said to himself, still trying to ignore the pain from the wound on his shoulder. "Raker" Zero fired his light/dark beam at the blond mamodo.

"Barude Animua" Biburio's glowed while aiming down at the street. It became animated and it rose high up, acting as shield. The Raker spell didn't broke through the cement wall.

"Looks like your attack didn't work, and this will crush you!" Biburio aimed his hands at Zero and Rahkshi, and the cement wall began falling downwards, preparing to smash the hybrid mamodo and his book owner.

"Raker doesn't work, Rior Raker and Trashield won't stand a chance, and Ion Rakerga is just gonna waste our energy. We need piecing power to blast a hole through that wall of pavement! Aim and fire away, Zero. Rakerga " Rahk yelled out Zero's third spell.

The more powerful light/dark beam erupted from the hybrid's fist, striking the cement wall head on. Some how it wasn't working either. "Come on, Rahk! More power, quick!"

"But if I push my self too hard in the condition I'm in, I'll severely hurt myself." Rahkshi responded.

"Either that or get smash into nothing but a corpse! Now do as I say and get angry!" Zero snapped at the human.

'Damn this wound! The pain! I hate it! I hate it! I want it to go away!' Rahkshi got angry from the horrible pain from the wound on his left shoulder. It was driving him insane. He roared out a battle cry and Zero's spell book glowed brighter than before. The Rakerga spell suddenly broke through the cement wall and created a hole in it. The cement wall hit the ground, but Zero and Rahkshi went through the large hole when the wall hit the ground, leaving completely unharmed.

When all the kicked up dirt was gone, Biburio and Nazoka Sawama were gone.

"They escaped." Zero said flatly, but noticed a note on the ground. He picked it up and read it.

This isn't the end. We'll back.

Your powers will be mine.

"Curse them!" Zero snapped, crumbling the note in his fist. His berserk red eyes narrowed and he turned to eye his partner. "Rahk! What's the matter with you! Ever since we got the third spell, we haven't burned any books since then! They always run away! What's the matter with you! Has your killer instincts died a long time ago before I showed up!"

Zero grabbed hold of Rahkshi's shoulders. The brunette tried to hold back the pain from his left shoulder. "If you're gonna keep showing mercy and sympathy, then the enemy will destroy you! This isn't a game, Rahkshi! To us mamodos, this war, all or nothing! Some mamodos are so cold inside, even colder, they would not only try to burn an enemy spell book, they would even kill the human partners if they want! Even if they are children like I am, they won't show mercy, so we must not show mercy either! Do I have to remind you of what happened yesterday?"

Rahkshi lowered his head, his eyes being covered in shadows. Yes, he indeed remembers of what happened when Kolulu attacked him. Zero continued. "She attacked you, and didn't show mercy; she was trying to kill you! We mustn't show mercy either!" there was silence again. But then Zero continued. "Yes, there can be allies in this battle, but it isn't easy. Some will deceive and take advantage of others and even betray their closest friends. Until you can find someone who you can truly trust, the only people in this battle you trust is yourself... and me."

"I... understand." Rahkshi whispered under his breath, but Zero heard him alright. "Do you... trust me, Zero?" he asked. There was silence... but then Zero slapped the human across the face. "What was that for?" the brunette asked angrily.

"For asking a stupid question. Duh, of course I trust you,"

"Because I'm the only one who can read your book, right?" Rahkshi asked a bit angry, but was slapped again by his mamodo. "Why are you slapping me lately?"

"The only reason I trust you is because we're a TEAM! We're partners! Friends! Now snapped out of it!"

Rahk sighed, and look at his mamodo again. "I'm sorry for being so negative, Zero." once again, there was silence between the two. Zero suddenly laugh by this continued to laugh, as if he heard an extremely hilarious joke. "Now what?"

"Hahahahaha! Oh, forget it, Rahk. Everyone acts negative once in awhile. Hell, I act negative most of the time." then both partners shared a laugh together, but Rahk suddenly stopped the pain from the wound on his shoulder again.

"Yeah," agreed Rahkshi. "And I wonder why Marcy hasn't even noticed the battle we were in."

"Yeah, she's probably still vomiting from the sigh me eating a shark head." Zero responded, and both of them laughed again.

"Owowowowowow!" Rahkshi said out loud, grasping hold of the wound again. "Lets go inside, I gonna need some rest if I want this wound to heal right."

"Agreed."
