"So, you're leaving already?" Kiyo asked as he leaned back in his chair.
"Ya, Potat and I are heading back home for about 10 days to relax and visit family." Nick replied "What are your plans Kiyo?"
"Zatch and I are visiting my dad in Europe. He told me he found something that might have to do with Zatch and the other mamodo." Kiyo explained.
Riinngg, the school's bell went off signaling the end of school for the year. "Well, if I don't see you til the fall, take care and have fun." Nick said as he left the school. Finally, a vacation where we can relax, no more fighting for the time being. Potat will enjoy this. Nick thought as he reached his front door. He packed Potat and his bags and placed them at the front door. Tomorrow, fun can begin.
"Nick! Wake up, we're going to be late!" Potat screamed. It was now 7:30am and their flight was scheduled for an 8:30 departure. The two rushed out the door luggage in arm as they raced to the airport. Luckily for them it wasn't too far.
"So, we have the house to ourselves for 10 days?" Eido asked in his sleep.
"Ya." Hyde responded.
The plane touched down in Boston and the two were picked up by the family Nick's father had left a day earlier as they could only get two tickets for the flight.
The days went by the same way everyday. They would get up, go do something around Boston and then returned home, but the 5th day was different. The duo were walking down a street when they saw a man with a top hat and a black coat. "Potat, could that be.." Nick began
"Dr. Riddles?" Potat finished. At the mention of his name the man took off. Curious to find out Nick and Potat followed him until they were in an alleyway with just themselves and the man. "Dr. Riddles. Is that you?" Potat asked the man. Upon completion of the question the man turned around showing it was him.
"Sorry to have you chase me," the doctor began "it's just I have important information to tell you and it felt like we were being followed by unwanted guests. I decided to lose them in the crowds of people and it seemed to work."
"Ya, Doctor Riddles knew the streets perfectly because he helped design the city." Kido spoke in awe of his partner.
"Actually, I had a map." The doctor replied.
"Whaaa!" Kido yelled shocked by this news.
"Anyways-" The doctor began before getting cut off.
"BIRAITSU" a voice yelled as a beam shot towards the four.
"Get down!" Dr. Riddles yelled as he pushed everyone to the ground. "That was close- argh!" He said as he was hit in the back.
"Dr. Riddles!" Kido said with concern
"Fighting here will do no good." Nick said while putting the doctor on his back. "We need somewhere that's open so we can see them." With that they ran off until they found a park where no one was at. "This'll do just fine."
"So, you've stopped running." A boy spoke, he looked different as parts of his body had been covered in technology especially his head. "I was getting annoyed, but you're lucky, you'll be able to tell everyone you were beat by the invincible Robnos."
"Oh yeah, try this. FIORE" An energy blast collided with Robnos sending him into a bush, but when he reemerged he was unharmed. "What, but that was a direct hit?"
"I told you, I'm invincible." Robnos gloated. "Ruki the spell."
"Right, BIRAITSU" the beam started to charge on his arm before firing. They tried to dodge, but with Nick carrying Dr. Riddles he was slower and barely dodged. That's when he noticed a second beam from a bush which hit Potat.
"You can drop the act. I know there is a second person attacking from that bush." Nick stated
"So you saw, I guess we should use our full power now. Time for the second spell."
"REI BURUK" The second Robnos flew towards the original Robnos combining to form one larger Robnos.
"This is my true form, before you weren't seeing even half of my full strength."
"BIRAITSU" This time the beam wad larger and came at them much faster.
"ZERUSEN!" Dr. Riddles read as Kido's fists enlargened and hit Robnos causing the beam to shoot into the sky.
"But.. you've been out cold. My beam hit you directly." Robnos stuttered as he was confused.
"I was faking it to draw you into a fake sense of security." The doctor replied.
Flashback:
"Nick." Dr. Riddles began after being hit. "I'm going to fske being injured. This way they'll drop their guard and when that happens I'll attack."
"You see, we outsmarted you. Now Nick combine our attacks and finish him. ZEGARUGA!" A beam of energy shot from Kido's mouth
"Potat ready!? FIOREGA" Energy blasts continued shooting from Potat and combined with Kido's blast making it even stronger.
"What are we to do Ruki? Biraitsu can't stop that attack." Robnos said with fear in his voice.
A new voice filled the area "ROND RADOM!" A whip of energy appeared grabbing Robnos and Ruki before they were hit. Nick and Dr. Riddles didn't see this though because of their own spells blocking the view
"Well, we did a good job today if I may say so." Dr. Riddles boasted.
"So what exactly did you want to tell me?" Nick asked
"Of course. Remember when we first met and I told you thst an evil mamodo was gathering forces. Well I was correct and they are beginning to move onto their next plan, collecting these."He said as hevpulled out a picture of what looked like a stone tablet. "These tablets are believed to hold a connection to the last battle for king, I don't have any ideas why they would want them though. In the meantime, I'm building a team of my own to defeat this evil mamodo and I'd like you to join us."
"Potat, what do you think?" Nick asked his partner.
"We're going to help fight." Potat answered without a second thought. "And we have allies yhat would be willing to fight alongside us as well."
Potat took out paper and a pen and wrote down Zatch, Danny, Hyde, Tia, and Kanchome's names.
"Well, I see you two have been finding friends who will help others out. Thank you, this fight will be much easier now, but the enemy will still be incredibly strong. I will continue to look for more possible allies and I'll let you know exactly how it goes." The doctor responded with gratitude as he walked away from the two.
That night the duo layed wide awake in their beds thinking over what they were told today about this evil mamodo finding others to fight on his side. "Potat, no matter what happens we will make sure Zatch becomes king. I promised you that and I'll keep that promise no matter what I have to do."
"I know, we'll fight this battle and protect our friends until the end."
Nick felt his eyes get heavy and started to drift to sleep. I wonder how Zatch and Kiyo are doing in England.
Meanwhile across the Atlantic ocean Zatch and Kiyo were facing their own battle as they were face to face with a giant mamodo. "You can't possibly think you could beat Baltro and myself did you?" The man ruling the castle they were in asked "ZEBERU" The giant mamodo started to move as he tried to stomp on Zatch and Kiyo. The duo barely dodged the attack before another came at them. "ZEBERU" This time his arm came swinging at them.
"We have to try something Zatch. ZAKER!" Lightning shot from Zatch's mouth and hit Baltros arm causing it to fall off. "That's strange, I didn't think it would do that much damage." Kiyo said surprised. Then he noticed a burnt flower near the deattached arm. "Zatch, that's it, the mamodo controls the flowers. Just like with the knights. From now on, aim for any flowers on it's body."
This continued for a while where Baltro would attack them and Zatch would try to hit the flowers. After a while Zatch managed to hit every flower rendering the mamodo unable to move. Just as they thought they won, a tiny dog/polar bear like creature jumped out of the body.
"So, this is Baltro's true form." Zatch said.
"Huh, he isn't so bad after all." Kiyo said, but once he finished speaking Baltro attacked him showing that he was actually quite powerful. "Zatch, look this way. ZAKER" The lightning hit Baltro knocking him out. While that happened Kiyo took the book from the human and started demanding answers. "1,who are you and why did you kidnap these villagers. And 2, why kidnap a college professor."
"That's easy, my name's Steng and I kidnapped them because there was no one to stop me. As for the professor, a child who looked just like him asked me to." Steing said as he pointed towards Zatch.
"Zatch, let's free the rest of the prisoners and then we'll burn the book okay."
"Ya, let's find your father quickly." After searching they managed to locate every single person in the castle. Everyone started to head towards the exit when Kiyo was surprised by a punch from Baltro. "Kiyo! How'd you escape?" Zatch asked as Baltro grabbed his book.
"Did you really think Baltro's claws wouldn't be able to cut through rope?" Steng asked as the two jumped onto Baltro's robotic armor. "Have fun escaping. ZEBERUSEN!" This time Baltro summoned flowers which stuck to the castle pulling it apart. "In less than two minutes this castle will collapse." Steng said as he and Baltro flew off in the armored body. The two landed away from the castle and started to run on foot when they were approached by a boy with white hair who looked like Zatch. "You, you had me kidnap the professor knowing that those two would come. Why?"
"So you could destroy them, which I see you didn't." The boy said as his hand glowed.
"ZAKER" A voice said, the person was not close enough to be seen. The lightning shot out of the hand and was white in color, the two waited for it to hit, but they were captured by a whip like structure and were carried away.
"What do you think you're doing!?" Demanded Steng.
"Is that anyway to thank me?" Was all the person said as the three disappeared.
Later that night the village threw a party in honor of Zatch and Kiyo for helping them out. While everyone was partying, Kiyo explained the whole battle to become king of the mamodo world and asked if he could show them where he found Zatch.
"Kiyo, I can't accompany you due to work, but I can give you a map." Mr. Takemine explained. "I'd also like you to take a look at the tablet I told you about when you get back, alright."
"Ya, thanks. We'll be leaving in the morning though."
The town partied for a few more hours before everyone went to bed. The next morning Kiyo and Zatch were up early heading to the forest Zatch was found in.
A/N: Yes, I had Baltro and Robnos survive for now. I plan on having one more mamodo join with Zofis, I just haven't decided who yet. Please leave suggestions. Right now I'm thinking of either Baransha, Zorboran, or An anime only mamodo.
