A girl in a white dress woke up, and she seemed to regain consciousness. The girl wondered while she looked at her surroundings, "Where am I? What is this strange place?" The girl had blonde hair, and she had a pair of bunny ears. As for where she was, the room layout was different than anything she had seen before. The walls and floor were metallic, two metal doors were on the right side of the room, and a white bed was also in the room. Then, the metal doors automatically opened to let someone in or out.
A woman and her mamodo came in, and they were wearing masks. The woman said evilly, "Hello, Princess Shirayuki. I see that you woke up from your unconsciousness that we caused." The princess replied in a demanding tone, "Tell me where we are this instant! How did I get here?" The mamodo shouted while pushing the princess down on the floor, "You shouldn't ask questions like that! Princess, we don't take orders from you! We are the leaders of this place, so you will obey our every command! If you don't, then we will have to resort to… some drastic measures." The masked duo left the metal room, and Princess Shirayuki looked scared. She thought to herself, "I hope this doesn't have anything to do with the legendary six orbs. I hid them in six different locations, and I won't reveal their whereabouts."
Meanwhile, Kiyo and Zatch were outside with Ichigo and Pudding. Zatch exclaimed with excitement in his voice, "Let's find the red orb! I can't wait to see if it tastes like a yellowtail fish!" Kiyo shouted with an annoyed facial expression, "There's no way that an orb would taste like a yellowtail fish!" Ichigo said calmly, "The news won't stop talking about that missing princess. Nobody knows where she is. Wow, I hope she didn't run into any trouble." Pudding stared at the map, and a grin began to form on her face.
She told everyone in an amazed tone, "Based on this map, the shapes of the landmasses in the world, and Kiyo's geography book, I've figured out the location of the first orb!
It's in the Mochinoki Volcano!" They had to go there by themselves, since the other Mews were testing out some more spells.
Elsewhere, Kish and Tart were watching them from behind a tree. Kish said evilly while smirking, "We need to follow them, Tart. We'll join their search, and we'll take the orb when they least expect it!" Tart shouted furiously, "Wishirei!" Suddenly, giant birds swooped up all six of them! Zatch asked with a concerned look on his face, "Why did these birds capture us? We better not be their food! I wonder where we're going, though."
The princess sat down on her bed, and she stared at the ceiling. Princess Shirayuki said while sighing, "I need to let someone know that I've been kidnapped by those masked fiends. However, there are probably guards outside of this room." Then, the door opened again. The princess thought that the masked dup had come back to hurt her, but two different people walked in. A little girl with blue hair walked in. She exclaimed happily, "Hi, Princess Shirayuki! My name's Penny! I want to play with you!" The princess responded while getting dust off her dress, "I'm really sad right now, Penny. I'm also very hungry." Penny told her while smiling, "Well, I brought you some chocolate bars. They taste good, and you might like them." The princess hastily devoured the chocolate bars, and she did feel better. Afterwards, Penny pulled out a blue book from her backpack. She explained in a serious tone, "Princess Shirayuki, I've been watching you from the air vent on the left side of the room. There's something that I need to tell you.
When I saw how beautiful you looked, I blushed at your beauty. My blue book started glowing, so these could all be signs of something." The princess shouted in a shocked tone, "You're saying that I'm destined to be your partner in that battle I've been hearing about! Well, you have to be good." Penny said with a cheerful facial expression, "This is like one of my dreams! I'm finally fighting alongside a beautiful princess!"
Meanwhile, the birds dropped the six people into the volcano. Luckily, they landed on a rocky path. Pudding shouted loudly, "It's really hot in here, guys! Let's hope that the red orb is in here!" Kiyo wondered while looking around, "Where could it be? We're surrounded by lava, and this path only leads to a rock wall! Wait a minute, that's it! Ichigo, use your hatred!" She concentrated her feelings of hatred, and Ichigo remembered the spell that appeared a few days ago. (In Chapter 22 at the beach.)
She shouted as she read the new spell, "Faishield!" A red aura surrounded her, but that was only the first part of the spell. The aura drew lava towards Ichigo, but she was unharmed because the aura acted like a shield! Ichigo knew what she had to do. She gave her book to Zatch, and Ichigo dived into the lava! It didn't damage her in any way, and she noticed something at the bottom of the volcano's bubbling lava surface! There was a red button, and Ichigo swam down towards it. She slammed her fist against the red button, and the lava spun around to make a whirlpool! Ichigo quickly made it back up to her friends, and they cheered. After ten minutes, the lava evaporated down into a hole in the volcano. Zatch shouted while pointing, "Look, everyone!" The red orb was on the ground, and the lava had been hiding it. The rocky path crumbled down to the bottom of the volcano, but everyone had a safe landing. Ichigo picked up the red orb and exclaimed with happiness, "Yes, we've found the first treasure! This is great!" She noticed a pedestal nearby, and Ichigo stood on top of it with the orb in her hands. At that moment, the map started to glow again! This time, it glowed orange! Kiyo whispered, "Whoa.
When we found the red orb, the map started glowing again! The previous orb probably helps the map tell you the location of the next one!"
A/N: How was Chapter 25? How will the princess use Penny's powers? Where did she hide the next orb? Why did the masked duo kidnap the princess? Find out in Chapter 26!
Also, I've changed the storyline. Due to my computer having some problems, I can't get the Zatch Bell videos. Here's a spoiler: Zofis and Koko need the princess for something, but I'll reveal it later on in this saga.
