Mirror Battle P1: Transfer Student
Zatch was swimming when he found a mirror piece. He grab the piece and came out for air. "This power, it looks like one of the ancient artifacts. But where's the rest?" Zatch thought as he look at it. He decided to take it home with him. At the same time someone came off the bus stop and left some paper art.
Kiyo brush his teeth as Zatch revealed the artifact. Kiyo got ready as Zatch tried to show it to him. "Zatch why are you showing me that?" Kiyo asked. "Because, I think its an ancient artifact," Zatch said. "Yay you found something ancient," Kiyo said. "No, you don't get it, this one has magical powers," Zatch said, "I think its one of the mamodo world's ancient artifact." "If so why is it here, and what's so special about them?" Kiyo asked. "Well from what I know, these have powers that can make a mamodo stronger," Zatch said, "But why it's here…I heard rumors that one of these were stolen from where they were held only problem is I think this been broken because its not as powerful as I thought." "Well you better keep it safe," Kiyo said.
Zatch placed it in the pocket carrier of his mantle. Kiyo headed to school with Suzy fallowing as usual. "Have you heard we're having a transfer student today?" Suzy asked. "Transfer student?" Kiyo asked. "Yeah, I hope we can become friends," Suzy said.
At school a girl was writing her name on the board. Unlike her new classmates, she didn't have her school uniform yet so she was wearing her average clothes. "My name is Shion Ibiki, and this is my first day here," Shion said, "It's nice to meet all of you." Everyone started asking questions about her as she was happy to answer them. Kiyo was the only one not paying attention.
When Kiyo did look something was moving around in Shion's bag. Then a small white and purple cat pop out. "A cat," Kiyo responded. Everyone was mesmerize by the cat. "Why your bag had a cat in it?" The teacher asked. "Sorry teacher, I admit it is my cat," Shion said. "Ibiki, I get your school uniform wasn't ready, but its against school rules to bring a cat to school," the teacher said. "His name is Nya, I can't leave him at home while I'm at school all day, he's important," Shion said.
"Come on Teacher, besides we already have a student here that brings a little kid here," Kane said. "I don't bring Zatch with me, he fallows me," Kiyo responded. "Hey that's a cute cat," Zatch said. "And you bring your wife," Kane pointed out. Outside the door the teacher's wife was watching them. "Fine he can stay," the teacher gave in.
Nya jumped on Zatch's head happily. "He's a mamodo, and a friendly one two," Zatch thought and said, "How about we become friends?" Nya meowed in agreement. Meanwhile the same man from before known as Kiichiro was waiting for them.
Kiyo was getting ready to leave as Zatch and Nya played. "It looks like Nya took a liking to Zatch," Shion said, "You're name is Kiyo right?" "Me…oh yeah," Kiyo responded. "I'm leaving two, want to walk with me?" Shion asked. She pulled him out of the room with Zatch and Nya fallowing. All the classmates were jealous of Kiyo however Suzy was more jealous of Shion.
Zatch and Nya played on their way home. "It's rare for Nya to take a liking to someone so soon," Shion said. "Oh why would that be?" Kiyo asked. "Because cats different from dogs. Cats are more self center, if it doesn't like somebody it won't go near it," Shion said, "I'm the same way. Nya and I are a lot alike. And that's why Nya and I are inseperatable." Kiyo stopped as SHion ran toward Zatch and Nya.
Later Zatch played with Nya using a piece of grass. Kiyo and Shion watch them with interest. "So why you change schools?" Kiyo asked. "I prefer not to talk about it," Shion answered, "I'm sorry is that okay?" "Yeah sure, believe it or not Zatch has his secrets two," Kiyo said, "Some I don't even know." "Everyone has their secrets," Shion said, "It only make sense that Zatch has some." "You're pretty smart Shion," Kiyo said. "I have to be," Shion said, "I have to be to be on my own." "I don't understand what you mean," Kiyo said.
"The truth is I feel pretty scared most of the time," Shion explained, "Its just that being a lone can be scary you know." "Alone?" Kiyo asked. "Oh its nothing really," Shion said, "But I'm so glad I got to meet you Kiyo." "What about me?" Zatch asked as he and Nya joined them. "I'm glad to meet you two Zatch," Shion said. "Same here, and I'm glad to meet Nya," Zatch said. "Well in that case Zatch, is it okay I be your friend two?" Shion asked. "Yeah of course," Zatch said.
He kneeled down and the mirror piece fell from his pocket. "Uh oh," Zatch said. Shion and Nya were surprise seeing it. "I can't lose this," Zatch said picking it up. "Zatch that mirror is beautiful," Shion said. "Yeah but its something to keep an eye on," Zatch said putting it back in the back pocket.
"I found it," someone said. They look to see Kiichiro watching them. "I want you to give me that mirror piece right now," Kiichiro said. Zatch sensed another mamodo presence. "Kiyo I sense a mamodo somewhere around that guy," Zatch whispered. "A mamodo," Kiyo responded. "I told you to give me that mirror right now," Kiichiro said. "No way, I don't trust you," Zatch said. He pulled out a spellbook.
"Shion get out of here, we'll take care of him," Kiyo said. Shion grab her bag and left. Kiyo went to his bag and pull out the red spellbook. "Its useless trying to show off," Kiichiro said pulling out scissors and paste. "Kiyo that's the mamodo," Zatch said. 'Baris' Kiichiro shouted after throwing them in the air. The glue and scissors became a mamodo with a glue stick body with scissor blades his back with scarf eyes mouth arms and legs. "My name is Cut n' Paste," the mamodo said.
"Let's win this Kiyo," Zatch said getting ready. "Alright," Kiyo said. "Quit waisting time and hand over the piece of the mirror," Cut n' Paste ordered. "This is a mamodo world artifact, you're not getting your hands on it," Zatch responded. "So you know what it is, but what purpose you have for it?" Cut n' Paste asked. "None, because we don't need it to beat you two," Zatch said. "That's right," Kiyo responded.
'Shizaruk' Kiichiro shouted. Cut n' Paste pull out his blades and formed slashes that came at Zatch and Kiyo for an attack. They dodge the attacks finding it can cut through air. "How did you like the cutting edge of my scissors?" Cut n' Paste asked. Then he started cutting paper to into a paper man.
"Kiyo now's a good time to try out our new spell," Zatch said. "Right, the 10th spell," Kiyo shouted, 'Rauzaruk'. The sky became cloudy as rainbow color lightning fired down and hit Zatch. Zatch's body glowed a rainbow color as his body increased in strength and speed. Cut n' Paste threw the papermen at Zatch and Kiyo. 'Paperuk' Kiichiro shouted. The papermen came to life as they went to attack. They started attacking Kiyo but with Zatch's enhanced speed he defended Kiyo from the papermen.
Rauzaruk worn out when they were safe. "So that's how you play," Cut n' Paste said. 'Ganzu Poreid' Kiichiro shouted. The top of Cut n' Paste's head came off as multiple paste substance shot at Kiyo and Zatch. 'Baruk' Kiyo shouted grabbing Zatch. They disappeared in a flash of lightning dodging the attack.
They reappeared away from the paste as Zatch aimed. 'Zaker' Kiyo shouted. Zaker fired from Zatch's hand. Cut n' Paste threw his scissors as Zaker hit it instead. 'Shizaruk' Kiichiro shouted. Cut n' Paste send more of his Shizaruk attacks at them. 'Rashield' Kiyo shouted. Zatch hit the ground as Rashield appeared. The first attack hit the shield and bounces back however the second attack cancel the first one out.
"So that's how you like to play," Cut n' Paste said, "Looks like you're not just going to hand it over." "That's right," Zatch responded. "Then we'll cut you down with our strongest attack," Cut n' Paste said. 'Gigano Shizaruk' Kiichiro shouted. Cut n' Paste use his scissor blades to fire abeam into the air, then multiple scissors appeared and fuse together into a giant scissor monster.
"Should we use Bao Zakerga or Zanen Zakerga?" Kiyo asked. "I don't think we need to use any of them," Zatch said aiming at Cut n' Paste, "In fact, we can win with just our fourth spell." "Yeah, I believe you're right," Kiyo agreed. "Whatever you two are planning won't work," Cut n' Paste said. "Let's win this," Kiyo shouted, 'Jikerdor'. Jikerdor fired from Zatch's hand and hit Cut n' Paste.
Cut n' Paste's body glowed from the spell. "What's the meaning of this?" Cut n' Paste asked. "Jikerdor is an immobizing spell, only thing is that it requires metal for it to work because Jikerdor turns whoever it hits into a powerful magnet," Zatch said. "In this case because your body is magnetized, your attack will be drawn strait to you," Kiyo responded. Gigano Shizaruk turned and faced Cut n' Paste. The attack hit them full power. In results Cut n' Paste's book burned from the damage Cut n' Paste took as he disappeared.
After the battle was over Shion and Nya ran to Zatch and Kiyo worried about them. "Are you two alright?" Shion asked. "Yeah so is the mirror piece," Zatch said, "I just wish I know does it do exactly. And why that guy was after it." Meanwhile an imp mamodo known as Grissor and his human partner Dr. Hakase was watching them planning to get the mirror from them.
A/N: I'm keeping this in a four part saga like I did with Zackary Bell. Mainly because so much happens during this battle. Zatch knows some things about the mirror, but he doesn't know what exactly it does.
Also if Zatch doesn't seem as strong as he should be, considering he's in the top 6 with Brago and Zeno, its because I'm planning for Zatch to hold back much of his true strength untill he needs to use it. Like during the final mirror battle against Grissor and Dr. Hakase. You'll just have to wait and see.
Next Time: SHion and Nya are now after the mirror, and they will go in far lengths to get Zatch's piece. Even if it means to ruin their friendship in a mamodo battle. Can Zatch save their friendship, and what is so special about the mirror piece? Read to find out...
