Two Separate Battles
Zatch somehow talked Kiyo into letting him go to school with him, only after promising that Zatch would hide himself with his gym bag disguise.
Kiyo was carrying the gym bag Zatch was in while going to class.
"Hey Kiyo, don't you think there is something wrong with everyone?" Zatch asked from inside the gym bag.
"Keep it down," Kiyo said but agreed as the students seem to be staring at him with respect.
Kiyo came into the classroom and saw the same thing.
Kiyo took his seat when one student name Hiroshi came by and lightly hit him on the shoulder.
"Hey, you have some guts," he said.
"Kiyo!" Suzy shouted coming up.
She slap a newspaper open on a page on Kiyo's desk.
"Look here," Suzy explained.
"Local Jr. High student stop bank robbers and saves hostages," Kiyo read.
"Kiyo some of my friends want to ask you some questions," Suzy requested, "Is that okay with you?"
"Okay sure," Kiyo responded.
The students asked Kiyo about the robbery.
Zatch smiled as Kiyo was finally making friends.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Someone shouted.
Everyone turned to Kane who was ticked off.
"He hasn't changed one bit, besides, he's making bombs, he blew up the roof!" Kane shouted.
"That's not true!" Zatch shouted attacking Kane.
"You again!" Kane said and threw Zatch on the desk.
Zatch safely landed on the desk.
"He must be the bomb, don't get close to him!" Kane shouted.
"That's enough Kane," the teacher said lightly hitting Kane in the back of the head, "How can a child be a bomb?"
The students laugh at Kane.
"Sit down everyone, I'm starting homeroom," the teacher said, "Oh and Kiyo, great job back there."
Kiyo smiled hearing it was the first compliment from a teacher he had in a long time.
"But for now I'll have the nusrse take care of him (Zatch) until after school," the teacher said taking Zatch.
Zatch didn't complain as he knew it was his fault.
As the day went by it rained for a couple hours, and stopped before school ended.
Zeno and Dufort were in town trying to find Kiyo's house.
"Sooner I find my brother, the better," Zeno said.
Dufort remain silent about it.
A limousine drove by into a puddle sending a splash of water to Zeno.
Zeno used his mantle as a shield but still was soaked by it.
"WHAT WAS THAT A…" Zeno stopped sensing Brago's presence in the limo.
"What is it Zeno?" Dufort asked.
"Nothing, let's just hurry up and find this place Zatch is staying at," Zeno responded.
A dog mamodo and a hooded man with it's spellbook was fallowing them.
Zatch and Kiyo were at home enjoying the day when the doorbell ranged.
Kiyo answered it to see Brago with a woman with long blond hair, blue eyes, wearing a purple and white dress.
"Kiyo who is it?" Zatch asked rushing to see Brago.
"It been a long time Zatch Bell," Brago greeted.
"Brago," Zatch responded.
"Zatch you know that mamodo?" Kiyo asked.
"Yeah, my brother and I countered him back in the mamodo world 2 years ago," Zatch said.
"We're not here to fight, we're here to talk," the woman said.
Zeno and Dufort were walking through the street.
"Dufort," Zeno said.
"I know," Dufort responded as the silver book shined.
"We're here to offer you out of this battle," the woman known as Sherry said.
"Sorry but not interested," Kiyo said.
"I'm not telling you this to help us out, I'm doing this for your own good," Sherry said, "If you continue in this battle, your life you know will change."
"To late there, my life already change thanks to Zatch, and if helping him in this battle is the way to pay him back, then I'll take the risk," Kiyo said.
"Thanks Kiyo," Zatch responded.
"No problem buddy," Kiyo responded.
"I see," Sherry said and the black spellbook started shining.
"Kiyo heads up!" Zatch shouted.
'Reis' Sherry shouted.
Brago fired Reis from his hand.
'Zaker' Kiyo shouted.
Zaker fired from Zatch's mouth and canceled out Reis in an explosion.
The smoke cleared and Zatch and Kiyo were missing as they were going outside.
"They're strong," Sherry said.
"I warn you this might happened," Brago said.
Zeno and Dufort led the dog mamodo to the side to fight.
'Doruk' the partner shouted.
The dog mamodo gained rock like armor and came at Zeno head on.
Zeno turned around and aim at the dog mamodo with his hand.
'Zaker' Dufort shouted.
Zaker fired from Zeno's hand and send Gofure flying backwards.
"I thought you said they didn't noticed us Renji," the mamodo told it's partner.
"Relax Gofure, we still have the advantage here," Renji said, 'Doruk'.
Gofure jumped at Zeno again.
'Zaker' Dufort shouted.
A stronger Zaker fired from Zeno's hand causing more damage.
Gofure manage to get up after the attack.
'Dorusen' Renji shouted.
Gofure fired rocks at Zeno head on.
'Rashield' Dufort shouted.
Zeno aim at the ground and a silver wall like shield with 3 lightning shape centers form from the ground up.
Dorusen hit Rashield and Rashield bounce it back with electric charge.
Dorusen hit Renji and Gofure as their book went flying.
'Zaker' Dufort shouted.
Zaker fired from Zeno's hand and hit the book.
Gofure's book burned to nothing as Gofure disappeared.
Zatch and Kiyo led Sherry and Brago outside.
"Sorry, but I didn't want to continue this fight inside without having to explain to my mom about the damages," Kiyo said.
"Fair enough," Sherry said, 'Gravirei'.
Brago summoned a force of gravity down on both Zatch and Kiyo.
Kiyo was forced into the ground but Zatch stayed standing.
"Nice try Brago, but you and I both know it'll take more to take me down," Zatch said.
"Sherry!" Brago said.
'Reis' Sherry shouted.
"Time for the 2nd Spell!" Kiyo shouted, 'Rashield'.
Zatch instinctively aim at the ground and a gold wall like shield with 3 lightning centers form from the ground up.
Reis hit Rashield and bounced back at Brago with electric charge.
Brago deflect his own attack with one hand.
"Stop playing with me," Brago said going for Zatch.
'Zaker' Kiyo shouted getting up as Gravirei was gone.
Zaker fired from Zatch's mouth at Brago.
Brago dodge Zaker with ease.
"Sherry use our strongest attack," Brago said.
"If you survive this, we'll call it a draw," Sherry told Kiyo, 'Gigano Reis'
A bigger stronger version of Reis fired from Brago's hand.
"Kiyo poor everything we got into this spell!" Zatch shouted.
"Right!" Kiyo shouted as the gold spellbook shined brightly, 'Zaker'.
Zaker fired from Zatch's mouth and hit Gigano Reis.
The two spells cancel each other out in an explosion.
Zatch used his mantle as a shield for Kiyo.
The smoke cleared and Sherry closed the book.
"What's going on?" Kiyo asked.
"I told you, we'll end this as a draw," Sherry said, "But don't loose to anyone else."
"By the way Zatch, we passed by your twin brother on the way here," Brago said, "Tell him I'm looking forward to fight him as well."
"Right," Zatch said.
Zeno and Dufort were trying to get back to track in finding Kiyo's house.
"Great, that last battle made me late," Zeno said.
"We're not to far," Dufort said.
Sherry's limo drove by and splash water on Zeno again.
"Is this suppose to be some kind of joke?" Zeno asked.
Zeno and Dufort reached the house and Dufort hit the doorbell button causing the doorbell to ring.
"Got it!" someone shouted.
Zatch opened the door and was surprise to see it was Zeno.
"Zeno!" Zatch shouted.
"Hey Zatch, can I come in?" Zeno asked.
"Yeah, come in," Zatch said letting the two in, "Kiyo you won't believe who is here?"
"Unless it's my mom, I don't care right now," Kiyo said coming down to see Zeno and Dufort as well as the silver spellbook, "Zatch get away!"
"It's okay Kiyo, this is my twin brother Zeno," Zatch said.
"Hello Kiyo Takamine, my name is Dufort," Dufort said, "I can tell you been against a powerful mamodo not to long ago."
"How can he tell?" Kiyo thought.
"Kiyo I'm home!" Hannah shouted coming in and saw Zatch and Kiyo were with Dufort and Zeno, "Uh hello."
"Hanna, this is my twin brother Zeno, and this is his companion Dufort," Zatch said introducing them.
"Oh so your Zeno," Hanna greeted Zeno.
"Yeah," Zeno responded.
"Is it okay they stay here until Dufort can get a job and pay for his own place?" Kiyo asked.
"Sure, I don't see why not," Hannah responded.
