Chapter 10 Heads Start Rolling
Authors note: did anyone notice that I usually choose titles of the chapter that actually relates to the story? Oh, and I have no idea how Foster homes actually work, and I'm too lazy to look it up on the web. So I'm just going to wing it for the beginning of this chapter. Even if I did know how it worked, the process, I'm pretty sure wouldn't fit inside this chapter. So forgive me if I insult anyone, Thanks for Understanding! Oh and I'm now telling Zeno's instructor's name, because he's no one's instructor he lost the right to be called one…so now he has a real name.
…
20 days after Zeno broke inside of Yuno's house and nearly killed her.
…
Zeno's Ex Instructor was inside of office building looking for a job.
"My name is Xavier. I've worked for the King for over 300 years. Responsibility is my Forte, I may be strict but I am also kind. I've been a child's training instructor for approximately 4 years. I would really appreciate it if I could have this job, so thank you for the time you took interviewing me" Xavier explained to an employer of Foster homes.
"The King? You had such a perfect job, why did you leave it?" The employer asked
"…Let's just say, I got sick of all of the rules and I'm looking for a different way to live my life" Xavier explained
The Employer was a little confused about Xavier's answer but didn't question it.
…
12 days later
The Employers of the foster homes decided to give Xavier a chance
Xavier came walking inside of the office without his usual armor; he was wearing a business suit.
"I'm glad that you came" The Employer stated
Xavier sat down in a chair ready to hear if he could actually get a job.
"We've had a couple applications open up. Most recently we need a temporary fill in for a child named Zatch Bell" The Employer stated then handed Xavier a picture of Zatch.
(What kind of joke is this? Zatch Bell! Either this is the King's doing, or this must be FATE!) Xavier thought in near disbelief. "What do you mean by temporary?" Xavier asked
"About a month ago, Zatch Bell's foster mother was attacked, and she hasn't been…in the right frame of mind to raise a child" The Employer explained.
"I see…" Xavier responded. (Damn Zeno you fucked Yuno up) Xavier thought then had to contain his laughter. "So how long will I be able to watch over Zatch?" Xavier asked
"Until Yuno recovers" The Employer responded. "It's just a test, and then we'll see if we can put you into a more permanent job." The Employer explained. "So will you take the job?" The employer asked.
"So…where is he now?" Xavier responded
"You will find the boy at his original home. The Address is…" The Employer was interrupted by Xavier
"I will go get the kid and bring him to my home" Xavier stated then started to walk out of the room.
"Wait! You don't even know where he lives" The Employer responded
"I'll find my way" Xavier said quietly
About an hour later Xavier walked to Yuno's house which still had 3 large holes in the walls. There was Dry blood splattered near the second hole of the house.
"Zatch are you here?" Xavier yelled throughout the house.
"Coming!" Zatch responded, Zatch came running out of his room with a small book bag on his back.
As Zatch got a good look at who was standing in front of him, Zatch gasped and nearly jumped out of his shoes.
"You're Zeno's teacher! Does that mean I can see my big brother?" Zatch asked with an excited attitude.
Xavier ignored Zatch's questions. "I'm going to be your care taker until Yuno regains her health." Xavier explained, and then he exited the house through one of the large holes.
"Please can I see Zeno?" Zatch asked while still standing inside of the house.
"Are you coming or not? You don't want to be left behind." Xavier stated while now walking in the direction of his home.
Zatch quickly caught up to Xavier and followed right behind him.
"So what's your name?" Zatch asked
"…Xavier" Xavier stated his name.
Zatch then began to try and make up a song about Xavier's name.
Xavier lead Zach into the mamodo capital and into a large apartment complex which was located to the west of the big city.
Xavier's apartment was 3 floors up, and room 306. The apartment had only 2 bedrooms, the living room was also part of the kitchen, and it had 1 bathroom. There was hardly any furniture, 1 couch in the living room, and only 1 bed and dresser inside of the master's bedroom. The smaller bedroom was totally empty.
"Umm so where do I sleep?" Zatch asked while looking around the apartment.
"You can have my bed tonight, because I got work to do later" Xavier responded
"Unu, really!" Zatch said happily
(He's pretty easy to amuse) Xavier thought to himself. "Yeah" Xavier responded simply
For the rest of the day, Xavier took care of Zatch, made him lunch and dinner. Gave him a bath, even helped him with school work. Xavier never mentioned Zeno, or about why he had very little cash, or did he talk all that much. All of which was totally new to Zatch.
Later at night, Xavier told Zatch to go to bed.
"Xavier…" Zatch said while hopping into the double sized spring mattress
"What?" Xavier responded while going inside his closet to pull out his Royal guard armor.
There were five different sets of armor. One was a Royal Guard's armor. The other set was the set that Zatch had seen him in the first time, it looked like it was just light armor. The third set looked like heavy battle armor which would have encased Xavier's entire body. The fourth set wasn't even made out of metal; it was just light black leather. But the one that actually scared Zatch was a Armor set that had Metal blades jutting from the shoulders, one blade coming out of the head, and mamodo skulls tied to the belt, the armor looked like it had formed scars even from previous battles.
"Don't ever go in this closet" Xavier warned while he put on a Royal Guard's attire.
"Where you going?" Zatch asked a little worried
Xavier smiled a little; "I'm a Royal Guard now, and it's my shift" Xavier lied to Zatch
"So cool!" Zatch responded
"Go to bed" Xavier told Zatch
"Xavier! I really like it here" Zatch told Xavier. "I…I don't want to leave" Zatch stated.
"Don't worry about it." Xavier responded then left the room.
Xavier soon left the apartment and locked the door before heading out on his personal mission.
"I'll put wheels of Fate into motion even if I must force it" Xavier told himself as he stepped out into the dark streets of the mamodo apartment complex. He slammed his hand against the ground and summoned a large spear with broad sided tip.
Xavier then used another spell that summoned 1000's of see through orbs.
"Give me sight" Xavier demanded of his spell as he then created around 20 larger orbs that could see everything the other smaller 1000's of orbs seen. "Scatter!" Xavier demanded the 1000's of orbs.
"Find her" Xavier ordered his spell.
The 1000's of countless floating orbs went flying throughout the city and throughout the country side
Xavier was trying to keep constant watch of all of his orbs, seeing what they seen, mapping out every single guard and police man out on the streets.
First Xavier checked all of the hospitals to find his target, but came up empty.
Then they went around every single insane asylum throughout a 300 mile radius.
"No one can hide from my ultimate eye" Xavier proclaimed
Within a matter of 6 minutes Xavier found his target.
5 different orbs was circling a particular room which was located inside an Insane Asylum which was located east in the mamodo capital.
The orbs shown a clear image of an old woman which looked like she had scars on both of her shoulders, brownish hair, and vague like eyes.
(In order for my plan to work, first I must Kill Yuno) Xavier thought to himself. "Dissipate" Xavier ordered his orbs.
Seconds later, both the large orbs and the 1000's of smaller orbs disappeared
Xavier then jumped onto the roof tops and began his journey over to the East side of the capital.
With him going top speed, Xavier soon reached Yuno's location within 5 minutes.
The Asylum was actually pretty well guarded, large stone walls surrounded the building, and iron gates insured it's security.
There was only 4 Royal Guards protecting its walls.
(I wonder if they will just let me through?) Xavier wondered, Xavier covered his face up using the steal helmet.
Xavier boldly walked straight up to the front gate trying to pretend that he was a Royal Guard soldier
"Holt!" The Captain of the four man team responded
"I need passage, it's urgent" Xavier explained while keeping his cool.
"No one is allowed through" The Captain stated then blocked Xavier's path.
"What business do you have here?" One of the Royal Guard asked
"I'm a simple messenger, who bears a urgent message for the warden of this complex" Xavier lied
"Show us the letter, and we'll deliver it to him" The third Guard responded
"I can't do that…" Xavier stated while it started to become clear that his cover would soon be blown.
"You can't? You are you? What's your department?" The captain questioned while walking closer to Xavier
(I…guess it couldn't be helped) Xavier thought as a frown grew across his face. "I'll ask one more time…let me through" Xavier demanded
"Or what? We are under the orders of the King, to not let anyone through" The Captain stated
"I can care less about that" Xavier responded
"You WHAT!" The Captain shouted as instantly lifted up Xavier's helmet which revealed Xavier's face. "Shit…" The Captain said in fear for he knew who Xavier was
"Captain?" One of the Guards responded
The Captain backed away, and Xavier put his helmet back on which meant the other three guards didn't know who Xavier really was.
"Get out of MY WAY!" Xavier shouted as he pulled out his spear.
"Retreat!" The Captain ordered as he tried to pull out a spell enhanced sword but was cut down instantly by Xavier's insane speed.
"Captain!" The 3 Guards yelled out
The three Guards then lunged themselves at Xavier
Xavier's spear tip started to spin at an insane speed and it look like drill tip.
"Sorry…" Xavier said right before using a speed enhancement spell and disappearing right before the 3 Royal Guards to only reappear right behind them
"AHHHH" The three Guards screamed in pain as they were knocked out cold.
"Be thankful that you didn't see my face…or I would have had to kill you" Xavier stated as he marched right through the front gates.
He Left the 3 Guards with their lives. but leaving the Captain of the group dead.
Xavier soon found his way to Yuno's room, the door locked.
Xavier took in a deep breath, but didn't back away.
He easily destroyed the door which revealed Yuno still awake and even more scared then before.
"Who…Who are YOU!" Yuno screamed but then a small clear less orb went flying into her mouth to keep her quiet.
"I suppose Zeno has punished you enough…but this isn't about punishment. If you become well again, you will be given Zatch. I for one cannot allow that if this plan is to succeed, so you must die" Xavier explained with a cold tone.
Yuno tried mumbling something before she started to use a wind element spell.
Before the spell had time to even take shape, Xavier quickly thrust his spear into Yuno's throat which nearly lopped off her head.
"Time for the second phase" Xavier said quietly as he took his spear out of Yuno's throat which caused her head to fall to the ground, seconds later Yuno's body dropped to the floor with blood coming out of the lifeless corpse, the heart was still beating…
…
The next day Zatch woke up to find his door opened up slightly, Zatch got up out of bed to see if Xavier was inside the house.
"Xavier?" Zatch said quietly while walking out of the master's bedroom
"Breakfast is ready" Xavier said calmly as he handed Zatch a plate of eggs and bacon
"Unu, Thanks!" Zatch said happily
…
Authors note: I was planning on making this chapter longer, and going into the second phase of Xavier's plan, but I have class very soon, and I couldn't finish it in time. SO Next time, Xavier's second phase will begin!
