Chapter 50 the Stalker
Kiyo was at school doing gymnastics and he was doing the test to see how far he could jump
Kiyo charged at the jumping line and jumped as far as he could and landed 5 meters
"Takamine 5 meters" the teacher said while measuring
Suzy and a few of her friends were impressed
"A new record Takamine" Suzy said happily
(I went further than last time)Kiyo thought looking back at his distance
"Hey superman" Yamanaka said catching Kiyo's attention. "When did you get such physical strength" Yamanaka asked
"I'd rath…" Kiyo was cut off
"But I won't hand over the exercise, you can be good at studying, but if you're good at exercise as well, my life might as well be meaningless" Yamanaka explained. "It's a Showdown Kiyo Takamine! In this physical strength contest I will be victorious" Yamanaka proclaimed while challenging Kiyo
(Why is he getting so worked up?)Kiyo wondered
"You can count me in" a voice said
"Me too" another voice said
Kane and Iwashima walked up to the challenge as well.
"But competing just for records isn't fun at all, what about betting one of the dishes from today's special lunch per event" Kane stated
"Oh good idea. Then for the 50 meter dash it'll be the eel kabayki" Yamanaka said getting into the competition
"Yeah" Kane agreed
(EEL) Kiyo thought in slight shock
"Ok then for repetition side jumping it'll be the steak. For handball throwing it'll be the 100% Yuubari melon juice, for the back strength contest it'll be the gorgeous chocolate pudding with strawberry cake" Yamanaka explained
Kiyo was shocked by today's menu. "Wait a minute, is that what we're really having for our lunch?" Kiyo asked
"Yeah, for some reason they're going all out just for today" Yamanaka responded. "Alright now that it's settled let's do it" Yamanaka announced
"I won't lose" Kain proclaimed
The 50 meter dash started and Kiyo and Yamanaka were running as fast as they could but it seemed like a draw for both
"Kiyo, and Yamanaka both in first place" the teacher said as both Kiyo and Yamanaka crossed the finish line at the same time with a gust of wind passing with them.
"Kane and Iwashima must offer their eel" Kiyo and Yamanaka said in unison
"Now had ball throwing" the teacher said
Kiyo ended up throwing his ball into the air with all of his might, the ball landed in front of Yamanaka's ball by 15 cm
"Kiyo in first place by 15 cm" the instructor announced
All three of Kiyo's friends were sitting on the ground in shame
"Next up is repetition side jumping" the instructor announced
Iwashima won by a landslide with his lightning fast side jumping
Kane up to now has lost every contest but next up was the back strength test
Kane pulled on the measuring lever until his back gave out on him, Kane ended up winning. "I won… the main dish…" Kain said with pride
Meanwhile
A girl with 2 blue ponytails coming from the left and right while slightly tilted to the back and was wearing a dress with a pink heart in the middle. She was around 8 years old. She was singing and was walking along with a man wearing a long coat and black jeans.
"My throbbing chest is going Doki, Doki, Baku, Baku and the air surrounding me is trembling~~~~ my beauty is emitting an aura~~~~, and the plants around me go Doki, Doki" the girl sang. "My beauty fits perfectly like a venus, an angel, or a fairy goddess! That's the kind of beauty I am, that's right it's me Penny" Penny sang with a smile. "We've traveled around the world for 4 months. I wonder if "that person" is here in Japan" Penny wondered while looking around
"I don't know. But as long as he has his book still…" Uri was cut off
"Of course he still has his book, he's one of the strongest mamodo" Penny retorted, Penny's stomach then began to growl. "I'm really hungry, Uri aren't you?" Penny asked
"You just ate 20 minutes ago" Uri stated
Penny smelled something sweat coming from a large truck
"Oh what a nice smell. It's coming from that truck, alright if that's so let's eat" Penny said winking at Uri
"What a bother" Uri said as he pulled out an orange mamodo book. "Akur" Uri shouted out
Penny shot a strong jet of water at the truck making it assessable to get inside
"Not yet? My gorgeous chocolate pudding with strawberry cake isn't here yet?" Kane shouted
"Kane you steak was awesome" Iwashima said while eating his prize meal
"Shut up! Your cake is mine" Kane yelled
"Don't lose your temper Kain" Kiyo told Kain while eating his Eel. (I wonder why his cake hasn't arrived yet) Kiyo wondered
[ Everyone, we have some news] the school announcements came on. [about today's strawberry cake] it announced
"It's here, is it finally here?" Kane shouted with Joy while swinging his arms in the air.
[On the way to school, it was all eaten by someone. Everyone, please forget about the cake] the school speakers announced
Everyone looked over to see Kain crying on the floor
Kiyo went on ahead eating his food not caring about Kain's misery
Meanwhile at the truck
"Sweat things are delicious" Penny stated
"You ate 700 pieces" Uri said in shock
"Who cares, I'm still growing." Penny retorted while walking away from the destroyed truck with empty contents
Meanwhile
"I could've swore I sensed something earlier" Zeno stated, walking by the down river side with Zatch.
"Unu, but it didn't feel very powerful" Zatch responded
"That's because it was only the first spell" Zeno explained
"Zeno…" Zatch said
"Yeah?" Zeno responded
"I'm hungry, watch my cloths" Zatch explained while throwing Zeno his mantle, Zatch then jumped into the river to go get a fish.
"Even when there's a mamodo nearby you're still hungry?" Zeno said to himself with a slightly confused face. Zeno sat down on the green grass waiting for his brother to pop his head out of the water and come out with a large fish.
Meanwhile on the
"I can't wait to find my beloved Zatch and win his heart" Penny declared while walking the top of the river banks. "You want to know who Zatch is? Yeah, you want to hear about it, don't you? The beginning of the love between Zatch and me in the mamodo world" Penny explained with hearts coming out of her eyes.
(She's going to explain it again…damn) Uri thought.
Flashback
"I got it" Zatch's voice shouted out, the fish jumped out of the water showing Zatch wrestling with a large fish.
(Even though you trespassed onto my private beach, and you captured my fish)Penny thought as she looked at Zatch in awe. (Those gallant eyes, that beautiful blond hair, that muscular body)Penny thought as she laid eyes on the mamodo prince. "This is what they call love. My heart is about to scream. I'm alive" Penny said overjoyed.
Penny started to stalked Zatch all over the mamodo world where he mostly stayed near the woods. She tried all sorts of things to try and get his attention until one day.
"This is for you Zatch" Penny said giving Zatch a medium sized fish
"Unu that you very much" Zatch said holding the fish
Penny was about to cry with joy.
(Then my parents had to ruin it all and follow me) Penny thought in slight anger. (Zatch and his brother Zeno were taken back to the mamodo castle never to heard of for 2 more years)Penny thought. (I only found out that my beloved Zatch was attending a school for a whole year right before the mamodo battle started. But now I have a chance of gaining his heart once more) Penny thought
End of flashback
"We'll have our destined reunion in the human world, how romantic" Penny said with joy. "I bet Zatch is also looking forward to his reunion with me" Penny stated
"Didn't you say it was your fault that they were captured?" Uri responded
"NO it wasn't! That was the royal guard" Penny retorted
(And they followed you…) Uri thought not thinking this would go well
"Even so… if we were to meet there wouldn't be any choice other than to fight…" Penny said in a sad tone
"What a sad love" Uri said as he lay on the green grass overlooking the river and he noticed a small boy with silver hair and a silver cloak, the boy matched the description Penny gave so many times before. (That wasn't expected) Uri thought as Penny kept on talking not noticing Zeno sitting by the river side still waiting for his little brother
"But that's okay! If it's Zatch I would let him burn my book… for the sake of that person to become king" Penny proclaimed
"Penny look down their" Uri said in a calm manner while pointing at Zeno still waiting for his brother
Penny was shocked and her face turned red for she couldn't tell the difference between Zatch and Zeno while looking at a distance and with their back turned
"ZATCH" Penny yelled then ran down the riverside
Zeno turned his head thinking someone just made an error. "What do you want with my brother?" Zeno asked then turned around to see Penny charging at him. (….IT HER!) Zeno thought while he started to lose his cool.
Zeno stood up to meet Penny and Penny soon realized that it was Zatch's twin brother Zeno
"You're not Zatch, where's Zatch, tell me" Penny demanded as her entire mood changed
Zeno's right hand started to shake with frustration "Who the HELL are YOU to TELL ME WHAT TO DO" Zeno shouted out in anger
"Eek" Penny squealed in fear and back about 10 feet away from him
Zeno growled at Penny "I won't forget what happened because of you" Zeno growled
Penny thought for a moment "I didn't do anything" Penny tried to say innocently, this just infuriated Zeno even more.
Splashing could now be heard coming from the surface of the water, moments later Zatch jumped out of the water with a large Yellow tail.
"I got a big one Zeno" Zatch said cheerfully
Penny once again seeing Zatch with little clothing on, her face became pitch red. "Zatch my darling" Penny cried out and went to hug and or kiss Zatch.
Zeno soon blocked her way and wouldn't let her get near Zatch
"Out of my way" Penny shouted as she dashed to the left to get to Zatch
Zeno mimicked her and blocked her path "Perverted stalker, leave my brother alone" Zeno demanded
Zatch was busy putting on his mantle to try and break up the unavoidable fight that was about to occur.
"Uri!" Penny shouted
Zeno acted instantly "Zatch would get upset if you attacked me" Zeno taunted Penny
With the one statement she almost immediately backed down, and Uri sat back down to watch the fight about Penny's obsessive love continue.
(I bet I can take her, I just need to teleport and pick Dufort up from his job… crap I can't do that… I already did that 4 times last week. He would probably get fired… maybe I should go get Kiyo.) Zeno had a thoughtful debate going inside his head and didn't notice Penny slipping by…
"ZATCH" Penny yelled now running to Zatch unhindered by Zeno
"SHIT" Zeno shouted and went to give chase
"Who are you again? Are you a friend of my brother?" Zatch asked with a smile while holding his catch of the day.
"No… It's me…your lover" Penny explained. "You might not remember my name but… at least my face" Penny stated
"Zeno? Do I know her?" Zatch asked
Penny was shocked
"She's the reason why we were caught in the woods when we were three years old" Zeno reminded Zatch
Penny was about to go ballistic
"I remember you now" Zatch said pointing at Penny
"Really?" Penny said happily
"You're the one made me get the punishment of a life time" Zatch said shuddering a little as he remembered his punishment.
"Eh" Penny responded
"That's all you remember me for?" Penny asked in a depressed mood
"Don't worry, that was three years ago. I don't grudges for that long" Zatch explained with a smile
"Well I do. Don't go near my brother or I'll burn your face off!" Zeno yelled while throwing Penny over to Uri.
"You can't keep me from my love" Penny shouted
"He doesn't love you" Zeno retorted with anger
Zatch was looking back and forth watch the two argue
"Zatch you love me right? You have an everlasting love for me right?" Penny asked full of hope
Zatch had an innocent looking face appear "Nuuo no" Zatch responded shaking his head left and right
Penny was even more shocked by this information "GOD DAMNIT" Penny shouted in anger
"I think you made her mad" Zeno sarcastically said with a grin.
"Why is she mad? I don't even know her, I only remember someone stalking me and getting us caught" Zatch tried to explain
"Uri" Penny shouted out
Uri finally pulled out the orange book
"Akur" Uri shouted using only half strength
Penny shot a jet of water that headed toward Zatch and Zeno
Zatch and Zeno easily dodged the attack by jumping into the air.
"I'll make you pay for breaking my heart!" Penny screamed in anger
"Unoo I don't even know you" Zatch said again pissing Penny off even more
Zeno landed on the ground while crying of laughter "This… is…too good" Zeno laughed
"AHHH, I'll MAKE YOU PAY ZATCH" Penny shouted with an ugly oni face
Zeno started to mimic Zatch's actions and words "But I don't know you" Zeno mimic Zatch's voice and facial expressions.
"Uri!" Penny shouted
(The pale one is complicating things) Uri thought as he looked at Zeno taunting Penny.
"Uhh I don't get it…" Zatch said confused about what was going on
"Akur" Uri shouted while using more energy
"Zatch combine it" Zeno told his brother
"Right" Zatch responded
Zatch and Zeno's cloak combined together to form a white and blue cloak like shield protecting them both
"Is that all you have?" Zeno asked while rinsing out his cloak
"Zeno, maybe we should get Kiyo at school. He'll tell me what I did wrong" Zatch stated
Zeno started to laugh a little "Ok Zatch, it's just that this is turning out to be a great day" Zeno said then started laughing uncontrollably once again
(Really? Can't this kid shut up?) Uri thought as he looked down at Penny who was giving off a demonic aura. "Akur Kiro" Uri chanted out
"DIE" Penny shouted then started to throw razor sharp water slices at the twins in vast quantities.
"Bye" Zeno said calmly waving her off, Zeno's cloak wrapped around Zatch and himself then he teleported to Kiyo's school.
"Where the HELL did the GO" Penny shouted
"That Zatch said something about a school, so let's check there" Uri suggested
"RAHHH" Penny then started to run to the nearest school which was Kiyo's school
Meanwhile
"Kiyo" Zatch yelled while busting through the homeroom door.
"Zatch! What are you doing here get OUT" Kiyo shouted
"Zatch has a problem" Zeno explained while getting through the school window into Kiyo's class room
"Those are the kids with Kiyo" one teenager said
"Can't it wait?" Kiyo asked annoyed
Zeno then sensed an angry aura coming towards the school
"No It can't" Zeno responded then
Everyone started to stare at Kiyo and the Twins who were making a ruckus
"Zenoooo She's coming" Zatch yelled looking down the hallway to see a crazy looking girl running at an insane speed screaming Zatch's name
"How did she find us so quickly?" Zeno asked then grabbed Kiyo and jumped out the window
Kiyo was able to grab the bag containing the red book "ZENO" Kiyo yelled as he fell towards earth
Zeno used his cloak to make Kiyo's landing a lot softer
Zatch moments later jumped out the window with Penny trying to grab hold of him
"KIYO" Zatch yelled as he landed on the ground
Penny went into a fit of rage of again losing Zatch and started to beat Kane up without mercy
"DAMN IT ZATCH" Penny screamed as she beat the living hell out Kane
"Zatch was that a mamodo?" Kiyo asked
"YES" Zeno and Zatch responded in unison
Penny looked out the window then jump out with Kane's left ear in her mouth
"Holy shit" Zeno whispered as he didn't expect her to do that
"RUN, we can't fight here" Kiyo explained. "Zatch what did you do to that girl?" Kiyo shouted while running to a different section of the school
"I didn't do anything" Zatch responded
Penny and Uri was still chasing the three "I know your scent Zatch! You can't hide" Penny shouted with an evil looking face
"You're lying Zatch, I can tell by Zeno's face" Kiyo shouted while looking at Zeno trying to contain his laughter
"I don't know what I did wrong" Zatch responded in honesty
Zatch, Zeno and Kiyo went to the empty pool to do battle with Penny and Uri
"You're finally prepared! You may be strong but you're not nearly as mad as I am" Penny shouted with anger
"Why it's your fault" Zeno mocked while standing on the pool's edge
"Shut up, don't cross between our love again" Penny shouted
"First you hate him, now you love him? Make up your mind you fool" Zeno retorted
Penny became even angrier "SHUT UP" Penny shouted
"Stupid" Zeno said kept on mocking her
"Why do you resent Zatch so much?" Kiyo asked
"Because, he forgot all those days we spent together and only remembered one bad one" Penny shouted
Zatch tried thinking again (Wasn't she my stalker?)Zatch thought to himself still not sure
"How far do you think I've dedicated myself to Zatch? Every day I talked to a Zatch's doll. Once a day I winked at Zatch. I threw him kisses" Penny explained with a blush
Zeno started laughing even more because he remembered that and he remembered that he wanted to kill her for it.
"Unu what in the world are you talking about?" Zatch said confused
Zeno then started to laugh so hard he fell to the floor crying because he couldn't stop laughing. "…this…is…one…of…my the…best days…in…my life" Zeno laughed with tears coming down his face.
Uri looked at the pale child again (I hate that kid) Uri thought
Penny was shaking with anger "DAMN YOU" Penny screamed with all her might
"She's… so stupid" Zeno laughed while he struggled to get back to the top of the pool's edge
"Akur" Uri shouted
Penny aimed the spell at Zeno who was climbing the ladder very slowly because he was still laughing
"Zeno!" Zatch cried out
Zeno stopped laughing and looked back to see the burst of water coming his way and he took a direct hit. Zeno fell to the ground soaked "Damn you" Zeno growled while looking at Penny with vengeful eyes.
"That's what you get for laughing at me" Penny retorted
Zeno then disappeared and reappeared two feet away from Penny.
Penny was shocked at his amazing speed
"Oh really?" Zeno asked while blood started to drip from his head.
"A spell!" Penny shouted
"Zaker" Kiyo shouted
Zatch ran up to defend his brother and shot a large Zaker at Penny and Uri
"Ashield" Uri responded
A water shield appeared in front of Penny and Uri and the round water like shield was barely able to hold off Zatch's Zaker
"Ha, you're going to have to try harder than that" Penny mocked
"You're right" Zeno stated dashing right in front of Penny.
Penny was shocked by the cold glare Zeno gave her that she started to shake in fear
"My turn" Zeno said coldly as he drew his fist back and punched Penny in the face as hard as he possibly could sending her into the side of the pool creating a large crater in the side.
Penny almost lost consciousness and struggled to get back up.
Penny felt her face and felt a large lump "my…my face, it's ruined" Penny said in shock
"You were ugly to begin with" Zeno mocked her with a smile of satisfaction
"I'll KILL YOU BOTH" Penny shouted as she sprung back to her feat. "URI" Penny shouted as she ran to her partner's side
Zeno teleported back to the pool's edge to watch the battle "Have fun Zatch" Zeno said waving off
"AKUR" Uri shouted
Penny aimed at Zeno again, but Zeno easily dodged it
"Stand still" Penny demanded
Zeno sat back down with a calm aura about him "I won't get hit if you're going to attack from the front" Zeno explained
"Don't hurt my brother" Zatch shouted
"Zatch don't worry about me, I'm fine, although she did give me a bath" Zeno said looking at his body then felt his head. (I think I smashed my head on the ladder) Zeno thought as he felt a small bump on his head.
(It's too late to end this now. GOD do I hate that pale boy) Uri thought as he glared at Zeno.
"Oruda Kuran" Uri shouted with his orange book glowing
Penny created large whips of water that reached 20 feet high
"Stupid" Zeno said out loud making Penny lose focus and glare at him
"Zakerga" Kiyo shouted
Zatch aimed at Penny and Shoot a strong concentrated burst of lightning
"WHAT" Penny shouted as she tried to form the whips into a defensive form
Zakerga kept on going through each whip of water becoming slightly weaker every time, Zakerga passed through 5 whips of water and headed toward Penny and Uri at half strength
"Impossible" Penny shouted as she was struck by the lightning in her left arm and sent towards Uri
The lightning blast carried them to the end of the pool, yet Uri's book remained intact
"Damn it" Penny muttered
Zeno started to sing "Penny the stalker the very ugly girl met her fate when she thought she fell in love with Prince Zatch Bell. The stupid, ugly girl didn't know when to give up for Zatch Bell is too young to know the meaning of love between the ugly stalker girl, Penny" Zeno tried to make a poem while singing to the beat of it.
"Shut UP" Penny shouted while jumping back to her feat full of rage and anger. "You know NOTHING OF MY LOVE" Penny cried and shouted at the same time
Zeno guessed what her next words would be and mimicked her.
"URI, I must make them feel my pain" Penny and Zeno shouted in unison
Zeno had grin and tried to contain his laughter once more
"SHUT HELL UP" Penny shouted
"You're so predictable it's pathetic" Zeno laughed while holding his ribs. "I'm going break a rib laughing so much" Zeno laughed a large smile over his face
(He's really enjoying himself) Kiyo thought. "Listen do we really need to fight?" Kiyo asked
"The only way I'll consider letting you go is if Zatch apologized for forgetting me" Penny shouted while still mad about Zeno laughing his ass off on the edge of the pool and knowing there was nothing she could do to stop him.
"Zatch apologize to her already, this has gone far enough" Kiyo tried explaining
Zatch thought about it for a moment "but I didn't do anything wrong" Zatch said whispered into Kiyo's ear
"Listen I got to get to class, hurry and say you're sorry, that girl obviously still likes you " Kiyo demanded
Zatch sighed in defeat "Fine" Zatch responded in a low tone. "I'm sorry I forgot who you were" Zatch apologized to the stalker who was beaten up
"That…Do…you love me?" Penny asked with a red blush
Zatch once again had an innocent looking face of being unsure. "Unuu" Zatch responded shaking his head left and right
Penny once again started cry and became very upset "DAMN IT WHY NOT?" Penny shouted with frustrated anger
"I know" Zeno said raising his hand in the air
(Shit what does he have planned this time?) Kiyo and Uri thought at the same time
"What why won't Zatch love me?" Penny shouted
"It's because he already has a girlfriend" Zeno explained
"WHAT?" Penny screamed in near heart break.
"I do?" Zatch asked scratching his head
"Who's your best friend and is also a girl" Zeno asked Zatch
"Tia?" Zatch responded
"Yep" Zeno said with a grin while trying to contain his laughter
"Oh so Tia's my girlfriend" Zatch said innocently not knowing the difference between a girl-friend and a Girlfriend.
"NOOOOOO" Penny screamed pounding her fist into the ground multiple times
Zeno couldn't hold it any longer and he started laughing hectically
(He's so cruel) Kiyo and Uri thought
Meanwhile someone was watching the entire thing
"gero, this is getting interesting gero " a talking frog said while sitting on a railing. "Her anger toward these people is growing Gero. My lord will also be delighted to have her on our side gero, three is better than two gero" the green frog with a clock in the middle of his chest and two leaves draped down his back said happily. "If that girl allies herself with us then Lord's plans will be sooner completed Gero" the frog said happily, he started to dance on the railing
Back with the fight
"Kiyo I don't get it, why is Zeno laughing and why is that girl crying?" Zatch asked
"I'll…explain it few years from now" Kiyo explained
"I don't have that much time" Zatch complained
Zeno continued laughing until his ribs started to hurt. "It hurts… But I can't stop" Zeno laughed while rolling around on the ground as Penny was shaking with anger and misery.
"I'll kill you for cheating on me!" Penny screamed
"Cheating? I never played a game with you" Zatch responded
"I'll make that Tia girl pay to for sleeping with you" Penny proclaimed
"What did Tia do?" Zatch asked totally confused but not wanting Tia to get hurt.
"I'll make you pay. It's your entire fault. Uri" Penny shouted
"Akurouk" Uri shouted
Water claws formed on Penny's hands and feet
"Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill" Penny repeated in a frenzy of anger, she then charged at Zatch and Kiyo
"Rauzaruk" Kiyo countered
Zeno tried to squeeze more laughter out of the conflict that only seemed to be affecting Penny. " Zatch and Tia already played tag together" Zeno stated
"What?" Penny mumbled in disbelief. (They've already gone that far!) Penny thought in horror. Penny once again started to pound her powered up fists into the ground in a fit of rage. "Damn it, Damn it, Damn it" Penny screamed in anger
Zatch sat back confused into why a game of tag made her so upset. Zatch looked at Kiyo with an innocent face "Kiyo? What I do?" Zatch asked not wanting to fight a person that was just attacking the ground.
Kiyo had an unsure face on as well "umm… Zeno shut Up" Kiyo shouted at Zeno who once again was laughing uncontrollably.
"WHAT GOING ON?" Zatch shouted not knowing
Zeno calmed down a little "They also went to the amusement park together as a double date" Zeno said laughing a little
"Double date?" Zatch and Kiyo asked
Kiyo glared at Zeno knowing what he meant by that "SHUT UP" Kiyo shouted
"They already went on a date?" Penny cried and started screaming kill over and over again
Zeno started to laugh once again uncontrollably but broke a left rib while doing so "ahh…that hurt" Zeno said calming down but still had a large smile across his face. "Ok I'm done, I had enough fun for one day" Zeno said in a happy tone
Penny charged Zatch and Kiyo with the water claws
Zatch met her head on trying to defend Kiyo
Penny made multiple left and right stabbing motions with her claws but Zatch blocked and dodged every attempt
Both spell then wore out
Zatch tried to understand the situation the best he could but thinking this was somehow his fault. "Umm Penny?" Zatch said in a confused voice
"WHAT" Penny shouted with anger but with tears coming down from her face, this also made it so where Zatch didn't want to fight her.
"Can we please stop fighting? We can still be friends right?" Zatch requested thinking that he made the right choice of words
"You cheated on me Zatch, and you still won't apologize" Penny cried out
"What do are you talking about? I never played with you before" Zatch stated
"RAHHHH" Penny screamed in anger and frustration
"Akur Kiro" Uri shouted
Penny started to swing her arms wildly and started to shoot multiple slices of razor sharp water at Zatch and Kiyo
"Rashield" Kiyo countered, a large shield with three lightning symbols formed from out of the ground, Kiyo's red book started to glow brightly and started to give off a golden shine yet the book remained a red color, yet no one noticed this.
The water slices hit the shield multiple times and bounced back at Penny and Uri with an electric charge added
Penny took in a deep breath as and closed her eyes as she seen her attack come back at her.
She heard splashing and electric sparks dissipating onto the ground, when she opened her eyes she saw Zatch only a few feet in front of her protecting her and Uri with his cloak
"Why did you?" Penny asked shocked by both Zatch defending her and how fast he was able to get to her without an enhancement spell
"Can we please stop fighting?" Zatch asked politely
Penny turned her cheek "But you still love Tia don't you?" Penny asked disappointed
"Unu Of course, she's my best friend" Zatch explained
"Your friend? She's your friend?" Penny repeated looking at the blond haired boy
"Unu, you need to listen more often" Zatch responded thinking Penny didn't hear him clearly
(Wow…that's the fastest I've ever seen Zatch move…was he holding back?) Kiyo wondered
Zeno too noticed that Zatch was on par to his own speed (Zatch…could it be? Your seal…)Zeno thought worrying a little for his brother.
"The more spells he gains the weaker the seal will become" Dufort said out of nowhere while waking up behind Zeno
"But he didn't even use a ultimate spell, he didn't even get mad" Zeno said with a worried face as he faced his partner
"Him becoming angry or using ultimate spells only increasing the rate at which the seal is weakened" Dufort explained
Meanwhile with Penny and Zatch
"So… will… you be my boyfriend?" Penny asked with a red blush
"Boyfriend?" Zatch thought about it for a few moments. "I guess I can be friends with you…as long as you don't go oni face on me" Zatch stated while not knowing that the blue hair girl thought of this as a proposal.
"My beloved" Penny said happily giving Zatch a hug
"Wait what? Kiyo…is everything alright now?" Zatch asked while looking at Kiyo
Kiyo too was now laughing a little, knowing Zatch had no idea what he was getting himself into. "Yeah Zatch, you did great" Kiyo said while laughing a little and he started to walk away back to his school
Zatch tried getting out of Penny's hug but found it difficult "Please let go, I'm not sad or cold, it's ok let me go" Zatch pleaded
"How long does he have?" Zeno asked
"Hard to tell, it looks like the seal is back in place. I would suggest that Zatch and Kiyo limit the amount of times they use their spells, this would slow it weakening of the seal" Dufort explained
"But…we're in a middle of a battle. How is Zatch not supposed to use his spell?" Zeno asked
"Become reliant on one spell" Dufort responded
"Rauzaruk" Zeno said realizing what Zatch has to do.
"Go warn Kiyo" Dufort told Zeno
"Right" Zeno responded then went to chase after Kiyo
Meanwhile
"Gero…that was disappointing, Gero. Oh well gero, we still have others willing to join gero." The frog said as he watches Penny keep a tight hold on Zatch while Zatch tried his best to get loose.
"We should be going" Uri suggested
"Aww do we really?" penny complained
"We need to find a place to stay" Uri explained
"Fine" Penny said disappointed and finally let Zatch go. "I'll see you later my love" Penny said then blew him a kiss as she and Uri walked away
"Huh… Why me?" Zatch wondered while he was standing alone in the pool with Dufort watching over him from the Pool's edge
"You should be going home Zatch" Dufort suggested
"Oh HI Dufort!" Zatch said waving happily then he ran up to him
Zeno told Kiyo what was going on with Zatch and what he had to do and Dufort brought Zatch back home.
