Mamodo Hunter
Zatch and Zeno were running an errand for a man.
"Thanks for doing the errand for me," the man said and took out 3 raffle tickets, "Here, have my raffle tickets as payment."
"Thanks," Zatch said.
"What kind of prizes are there?" Zeno asked.
"Grand prize is a trip to the hotspring, second place prize is a big screen tv, third place prize is a folding bicycle, and the fourth place prize is a yellowtail," The man said.
"Let's try it out Zeno!" Zatch responded.
Zatch and Zeno tried three times and got the last place prize.
"Sorry boys but for your effort you get candyballs," the raffleman said handing Zatch three pieces of candy.
"I guess you get on and I get one and we deal with the last one later," Zatch said.
"Sound good," Zeno said.
"Winner, you get a yellow tail!" the raffleman shouted to a woman who tried.
Then another person tried and got another yellowtail.
"No fair they got yellow tail but we didn't," Zatch responded.
"You two didn't win?" someone asked.
Zatch and Zeno turn to a african man wearing a plane shirt and jeans.
"Yeah," Zatch said.
"Here then you can have mine," the man said taking out a form, "It's not a yellow-tail but it's the grand prize to the Hotspring."
"Why are you giving it to us?" Zeno asked.
"Well you see I worked hard to get it, but I have to go back home in Africa, and I don't want the prize to go to waste," The man responded.
"Let's take it Zeno," Zatch said.
"Fine," Zeno said.
"Thank you mister," Zatch responded.
That weekend Dufort drove Kiyo Zatch and Zeno to the hotsprings.
Now Zatch Zeno Dufort and Kiyo were in a spring.
"Ah cool," Zatch responded seeing the scenery.
Zatch dive deeper to look around.
"Hey where's the fish?" Zatch asked.
"There isn't any fish in a hot spring Zatch," Kiyo responded.
Kiyo turned to Zeno was in the water a little red.
"Ah…Zeno, are you alright?" Kiyo asked.
"I'm fine," Zeno said.
"Zeno is more sensitive to heat than Zatch," Dufort explained.
"I'm fine," Zeno said.
"Yeah, well it's about time we get out anyways," Kiyo said, "Come on Zatch."
They got out and put on some robes.
"So Kiyo, when is your mom coming here?" Zatch asked.
"Probably tonight after work," Kiyo said.
Zeno suddenly stopped suddenly.
"What?" Kiyo responded.
"I sense a mamodo coming from our hotel room," Zeno said.
They ran into the hotel room and found it empty.
"Empty," Kiyo said, "Are you sure there was a mamodo here?"
"Yeah, because I can sense it too," Zatch said.
Dufort went to the table and saw a brochure for a secret hotspring.
"Kiyo!" Dufort said.
Kiyo look at the brochure.
"You think this whole trip is a trap?" Kiyo asked.
"I know," Dufort said.
"What should we do?" Zatch asked.
"I say we fight," Zeno said.
"I hate to admit it, but if we don't go to this spot chances are this mamodo is going to take the challenge to us," Kiyo said.
They changed into their normal clothes.
Dufort dressed in a light blue shirt, white jacket, blue pants.
Kiyo dressed into a white shirt with a sweater like jacket with jeans.
Zatch and Zeno change to their normal mantles and broaches.
They left the hotel where the man from before this time wearing a old fashion African tribe hunter shorts with lepard skin like skirt with a deer head like hat on.
Next to him was a purple panther mamodo with 3 tails.
Zatch Zeno Kiyo and Dufort were at the suspension bridge.
"So we have to cross this bridge to the battle ground?" Kiyo asked.
"According to this map," Dufort said.
"HEY KIYO DUFORT!" Zatch and Zeno shouted.
They look to see that Zatch and Zeno had already cross the bridge.
"What's taking you so long!" Zatch asked.
"Come on, the sooner we get this battle over with the sooner we can go back and eat!" Zeno shouted.
"I would think Zatch and Zeno be more precautious," Kiyo responded.
"Come on, we better go," Dufort said.
"Right," Kiyo responded as they crossed the bridge.
The man and the mamodo watch on top of a cliff.
"They crossed the bridge," the man said, "It's going according to plan."
"I would thought that the Twin Bell Princes be more precautious," the mamodo said, "Either way, we have to be careful with them."
"Not only that, the human partners seem to know where they're going," the partner said, "It be best to observe them a bit longer."
Zatch Kiyo Dufort and Zeno reached the area marked on the map.
"Is this the place?" Zatch asked.
"Yeah," Kiyo responded.
"We should look around," Dufort said.
"Time to go Baransha," the hunter told his mamodo.
"I'll aim at the dark hair human Garza," Baransha responded.
'Woker' Garza shouted.
Blast of sound waves fired from Baransha's mouth.
Dufort sense something.
"Zatch, protect Kiyo with your mantle," Dufort said.
Zatch's mantle grew and form a shield around Kiyo.
Woker hit Zatch's mantle but didn't hit Kiyo.
"Thanks Dufort," Kiyo said.
"How did that other guy know our attack was coming?" Baransha asked.
"He must of sense it or something," Garza responded.
Zatch Zeno Dufort and Kiyo ran toward the mountains.
"Since this is a trap, chances are they did something to the bridge," Kiyo explained.
"That's why we're heading to the rocky area," Dufort explained.
"The fact one of them was able to predict our attack, just makes this hunt more interesting," Garza said, "Either way, they're in our battle field, and they're the trap prey."
Kiyo Zatch Dufort and Zeno reached a rocky terrain.
"Sense anything?" Kiyo asked Zatch and Zeno.
"Yeah, but I can't locate their exact position," Zeno said.
"Same here," Zatch responded.
'Doruk' Garza shouted.
Baransha gained rock like armor on the upper half of her body with her front K9 going down like a saber-tooth tiger.
Baransha jumped down and headed toward behind the mountain behind Kiyo and Dufort and jumped again to attack.
Dufort sense more trouble came as his answer-talk reacted.
"Kiyo Zatch jump to your right," Dufort said as he grab Zeno and jump to the left.
Kiyo and Zatch jumped as Baransha broke through the rocks.
Kiyo pointed at Baransha and Zatch took aim.
'Zaker' Kiyo shouted.
Zaker fired from Zatch's mouth but Baransha dodge it.
"What a slow attack," Baransha responded landing on a tree branch.
"Zatch!" Zeno said.
"Zeno aim there," Dufort said point at some bushes.
Zeno turned around and saw the deer head.
"Nice try!" Zeno said.
'Zaker' Dufort shouted.
Zaker fired from Zeno's hand at the bushes.
Garza was behind the bushes with the deer head and barely dodge the attack.
"He dodge it," Zeno said.
'Zaker' Kiyo shouted.
Zatch fired another Zaker at Baransha but she dodge it again.
"Kiyo stop launching Zaker," Dufort ordered, "They just want us to waist your spells."
"But…" Kiyo responded looking to see Baransha was gone.
Nightfall came and Dufort Kiyo Zeno and Zatch were on guard.
'Poruk' someone shouted.
They turned to see Baransha on the rock.
"That's it," Kiyo responded, "Time for the 5th…"
"Wait," Dufort said.
"Huh," Kiyo responded.
Dufort picked up a rock and threw it.
The rock went through Baransha as it really was an image.
"Remember, they're trying to trick us," Dufort said, "In this type of battle, the best answer to the situation is not to loose your cool."
Garza and Baransha was eating their meals waiting for the right moment to attack.
Kiyo and Dufort were picking certain berries while Zatch and Zeno were digging a hole.
"Are you sure these would work?" Zeno asked, "It seems foolish to me."
"Actually this might work, with Zatch's sense of smell combine with both his and Zeno's combination, we might have a chance of winning," Kiyo thought.
Baransha and Garza were waiting when a silver-white lightning fired into the air.
"What's going on Baransha?" Garza asked.
"I don't know, they fired so suddenly, and now I can't see through the smoke," Baransha responded.
The smoked cleared as Zatch Kiyo Zeno and Dufort were missing.
They headed down to the clearing and saw the ground burnt.
"Did they fire a powerful bolt? Everything is burnt," Garza said.
"Garza," Baransha shouted.
"What?" Garza asked.
"Look, one of the human's sweater jacket," Baransha said looking at Kiyo's jacket hanging on the branch.
"Well go get it!" Garza said.
Baransha jumped to the branch, bite down on Kiyo's jacket and jump down.
However Baransha spit it out when she landed.
"What's wrong?" Garza asked.
"The jacket taste awful," Baransha responded.
Garza checked and found berry juice on the jacket.
'Zaker' someone shouted.
A gold-yellow lightning fired from under Baransha's feet hitting her.
Zatch Kiyo Dufort and Zeno dug out from underground.
"Now we got you trapped," Kiyo said.
"We'll see about that," Garza said, 'Go Riaruk'.
Baransha's body turned invisible.
"You're the hunted boys, not us," Garza shouted.
"We don't need to see you to win," Dufort said, "You see the berry juice gives off a horrible scent."
Zatch ran after Baransha with Zeno fallowing.
Baransha tried to avoid them but Zatch turned toward her.
Zeno's mantle grabbed Baransha immobilizing her as Zatch jumped on her.
"Garza am I still invisible?" Baransha asked.
"Of course I can't see you," Garza said looking around.
"Then how is it these two can fallow me?" Baransha asked trying to run away with Zatch and Zeno fallowing.
Zatch and Zeno tackled Baransha into the ground as her spell worn out.
Baransha jumped back to Garza.
"We'll take you down!" Garza shouted, 'Doruk'
Baransha gained rock armor of Doruk as she jumped at Zatch.
'Zaker' Kiyo shouted.
Zaker fired from Zatch's mouth and hit Baransha destroying the rock armor.
Garza took Baransha and ran off.
Zeno and Zatch went after them.
Baransha and Garza continue running till they hit a dead end.
"Now to take you down," Zeno said as he Zatch Kiyo and Dufort caught up.
"Don't make me laugh, you're still just the prey and we'll prove it with our strongest spell!" Garza shouted, 'Gigano Gadoruk'.
Baransha gained armor plates on her body with spikes.
"I'll take care of this one," Zeno said, "Dufort!"
'Zakerga' Dufort shouted.
Zakerga fired from Zeno's hand and hit Baransha.
Zakerga destroyed Baransha's armor, forced her into Garza, and threw them off the cliff into the river bellow.
Zatch Kiyo Zeno and Dufort return to the hotel.
"First thing I'm going to wdo is get something to eat," Kiyo said as the sunrise when they reached the Hotel, "Then some time in the hot spring."
"Same here," Zatch said.
"Not me, not again," Zeno complained.
They reached the room where Hanna drinking tea.
"What happened to our food?" Kiyo asked.
"Oh there you boys are, the inn maid cleaned up and since you weren't here they took it away," Hanna explained.
"WHAT?" Kiyo responded.
