Level 55:
Guardian of the Stone

A monstrous mamodo known as Demolt was guarding the stone heard the explosion and turned to the entrance.

Meanwhile Zophis was leading Sherry and Brago to the battle ground.

'Radom' Koko's voice echoed catching Sherry by surprise.

Zophis fired Radom at her and Brago.

'Gravirei' Sherry shouted.

Brago summoned Gravirei that press down on Radom to the ground for an explosion.

"Why are you wasting time with small spells Zophis, I know Koko is nearby, so lets fight for real," Sherry shouted.

"Sherry you must have patience," Zophis said going off again.

"I wander what kind of dirty trap he's setting for us," Sherry said.

Brago sense more power coming from the tower before they headed off.

Wonrei and Tia's group were close to the top of the stairs where the light was the brightest.

Demolt use the moment to block out the light with his wings confusing Tia Megumi Wonrei and Li-en.

'Zemoruk' someone shouted.

A claw fired into the room at them.

'Seioshi' Megumi shouted.

Seioshi appeared in front of them as Zemoruk hit the shield. Zemoruk broke through causing them to dodge.

"The Seioshi was shattered," Tia responded.

"We're at a disadvantage here in this narrow corridor we got to make a run to the hall above," Wonrei said.

Zemoruk retreated and they ran to the room.

Meanwhile Zack and Kimmi were leading the rest of the group to the room.

"Guys watch your back, Demolt is the strongest of the supreme mamodos," Kimmi shouted.

"What's the worry we still haven't met up with Tia and Megumi, you said it yourself about Wonrei, he's really strong," Folgore said.

"That's right," Kanchome responded before he trip and fall making Folgore fall as the rest of the group went to the other sides of the walls to dodge them.

"They don't know what is in store up there, Wonrei and Zack's mom are strong, but they don't have the experience to fight Demolt or know his spells and that will lead to history repeating itself for Wonrei and Li-en," Kimmi thought, "Even with the spells Zack and I gained, and the answer-talk, we don't have Zakerzem or any spell like it, that will come in handy."

They made it where the three sister statues were smashed to pieces.

"Wonrei Li-en Tia and Megumi were here," Zack said.

"Why was the statue smashed?" Kanchome asked.

"That's something I don't even know," Kimmi said, "And I don't even want to know."

"Strange," Leila said.

"Yeah the stone of moonlight isn't shining into this room," Zack said.

"And I know why," Kimmi said.

Tia Megumi Wonrei and Li-en try to see what was in the room but couldn't see a thing. Just then claws came at them as someone shouted, 'Zemoruk'.

They manage to dodge the spell leaving holes on the floor. Then more attacks came at them.

"Megumi!" Tia shouted.

'Ma Seshield' Megumi shouted.

Ma Seshield appeared and took the hits as Wonrei and Li-en slid behind it.

"I never seen such massive power," Megumi said.

Ma Seshield started breaking because Megumi wasn't focus. "Megumi I need more of your strength from within," Tia shouted.

"I'm sorry Tia, I was mesmerize by the attack I couldn't focus," Megumi said as the spellbook shined brighter and Ma Seshield grew. Then Zemoruk retreated again as a stronger spell came at them.

'Dioemur Zemoruk' Roberto shouted.

A fist engulf in purple flames came at them.

"Look a strong spell is coming," Wonrei said.

"Hold on if we block this attack maybe they won't have enough strength from within to attack," Tia said.

However when the spell hit their shield it overwhelm Tia and Megumi causing them to loose conscious as Ma Seshield broke.

"Wonrei," Li-en responded when Wonrei jumped in front of them.

Demolt pull back his fist and a claw came at Wonrei as someone shouted, 'Zemoruk'. Zemoruk hit Wonrei directly in the stomach.

Zack had a weird feeling going down his spine at that moment. "Kimmi," Zack said.

"Yeah I can't explain it but I felt it two," Kimmi said.

Zack took off his black jacket and gave it to Kimmi in precaution. The moonlight shine through the room again. They ran upstairs to see that Wonrei was hit by Zemoruk. The claw retreated pulling out of Wonrei as he collapse and Li-en ran to his side.

Demolt roared as he beaten one of the intruders.

Meanwhile Sherry and Brago were still fighting Zophis. Koko kept shouting Radom as Zophis fired them, but Sherry and Brago cancel each one out.

At the room Demolt roared once more.

"Demolt," Zack said.

"Wonrei, Wonrei, hold on you can't leave me, Wonrei, Wonrei,:" Li-en cried over Wonrei's body.

"Kimmi we can use Baofojio, as well as Tia's Saifojio," Zack said.

"Yeah I know," Kimmi responded, "But where's Roberto?"

Demolt roared scaring most of the group except for Zack and Kimmi who were use to it. Instead the roar help activated Kimmi's answer-talk, and Zack's strength to increase.

A man walked out from behind Demolt's leg.

"Roberto," Kimmi thought.

Roberto turned to Tia and Megumi as his spellbook shined as he shouted, 'Zemoruk'.

Zemoruk came at Tia and Megumi.

"Oh no you don't," Zack shouted running to action.

'Ra Seshield' Kimmi shouted.

Zack got in front of them and summoned a strong Ra Seshield.

Zemoruk hit Ra Seshield and bounce back at Demolt with electric charge and hit him under the chin.

Leila use the moment to get behind Demolt and grab his tail and pull him strait into the wall.

"Whoa," Kanchome responded.

"Mey," Schneider responded.

Zack went to Wonrei as Leila took care of Tia and Megumi.

"Are you guys okay?" Leila asked Tia and Megumi when they got up.

"Yes, but what happened I was defending an attack," Tia responded, "Both Seioshi and Ma Seshield didn't work, and when our shield broke Wonrei jump in front of the attack."

"Is he okay?" Megumi asked as they turned to see that Zack was already arrived at Wonrei and Li-en.

"Kimmi our recovery spell on a double," Zack said waving his hands in the air.

"Right, the 8th spell," Kimmi shouted, 'Baofojio'.

Baofojio fired down and Zack direct it at Wonrei as Li-en moved so Wonrei could be hit.

"Looks like Zack and Kimmi started Wonrei's recovery, but they can't keep doing that and fight Demolt at the same time," Leila responded.

"Don't worry we'll handle it," Megumi said.

Leila threw them to Zack Wonrei and Li-en.

"Its okay Zack we can handle things from here," Tia said.

"Thanks," Zack said heading off to fight Demolt.

Tia and Megumi tried their Saifojio to finish what Zack started.

Demolt woke up and saw Tia and Megumi. He got up to attack once more.

"Hey Demolt," Zack shouted.

Demolt turned to Zack standing there.

"Why fight them when you can fight me?" Zack asked, "Or are you too scared to fight the one whose spell cause your attack to bounce back and hit you?"

Demolt went ahead and attack Zack instead.

'Saizaruk' Kimmi shouted.

Zack's body glowed orange as he jump out of the way.

"Leila deal with the stone, leave Demolt to us!" Kimmi shouted.

"Okay," Leila responded, "I don't know if Zack stands a chance but I don't want to question Kimmi's ability right now."

'Oruda Zemoruk' Roberto shouted.

Demolt's 2 claws became multiple claws stretch out.

Demolt went to attack Leila and Zack.

Zack dodge each attack as Leila dodge rubble from her attacks. One of the attacks separated Leila from Alber as Leila went back to him.

Kimmi saw this and her answer-talk reacted as the orange spellbook shined brightly.

'Saikerga' Kimmi shouted.

The glow in Zack's body faded as he swipe his hands together firing Saikerga.

Saikerga hit Demolt's arm causing him to stop.

'Go Sudoruk' Sunbeam shouted.

Schneider changed into his second form and jump at Demolt to hit him right at the chin.

'Poruk' Folgore shouted.

Kanchome transformed into a wall hiding Wonrei, Li-en, Tia, Megumi, Dr. Riddles, and Folgore.

"Relax you can hide here until Wonrei heals," Kanchome said.

Schneider Sunbeam and Kimmi ran to Zack who was near Leila and Alber.

Schneider change back to his normal form and tackle Zack to lick him.

"Hey Schneider," Zack responded pushing Schneider a side.

"So everyone is working together now," Kimmi said.

"Yeah," Sunbeam said

"Kimmi I want you to use whatever power that answer-talk of yours has," Leila said.

"I know that's how we'll need to beat Demolt," Kimmi said thinking, "Then there's Roberto."

Meanwhile Zophis was still leading Sherry and Brago to the battle ground.

'Rond Radom' Koko shouted.

Zophis fired Rond Radom at them.

'Gigano Reis' Sherry shouted.

Brago fired Gigano Reis. Rond Radom went around it and hit the wall causing a boulder to fall above Brago who broke it in half with one punch.

'Rond Radom' Koko shouted.

Zophis fired another Rond Radom around them.

'Ion Gravirei' Sherry shouted.

Ion Gravirei pressed down canceling out Rond Radom.

"If you don't stop stalling I'll take you down with one powerful spell even without Koko around," Sherry said.

"Don't you want to make sure Koko's safe before threatening like that, that's the reason you haven't use a powerful spell up to now," Zophis said and then lead them to an area where a helmet waits. Zophis put it on revealing a gem on it.

At the room Demolt was punching his chest.

"Roberto I know you're not being manipulated," Kimmi shouted, "Why don't you talk?"

Roberto started laughing at them.

"Looks like the secrets out, you're right I'm not being manipulated. Why in the world would I be controlled by anyone, I have a keen interest in what Zophis is doing, and it seems he takes a liking to me, he promise a certain reward to me," Roberto said.

Zack clutch his fist in frustration.

"If I help Zophis by protecting the stone of moonlight until he becomes king, he promise to give it to me. Can you imagine if I hook it up to a super computer, I would be able to hypnotize anyone, not as well as Zophis, but I'll still will be able to make soft headed idiots do my bidding. Zophis is a complete genius to create this thing I can't wait to use it, it'll make me almost as powerful as him," Roberto said, "Things are looking up for me as for now on. Remember this you punks, Roberto Vile is my name, and I'll be Zophis successor. Do what you want you can't harm Demolt and he'll take you down."

"We won't let you, these are our friends you're talking about," Kimmi said.

"I can't help myself it just fill myself with joy to think people will fear my name," Roberto said.

"Now Zack," Kimmi shouted.

Zack jumped up to Demolt.

'Saikerga' Kimmi shouted.

Zack swipe his hands together firing Saikerga that hit Demolt's arm.

'Rigon Zemoruk' Roberto shouted.

Demolt's claws became nun-chucks to use. He use it to try and push Zack away.

'Go Sudoruk' Sunbeam shouted.

Schneider changed into his second form and hit Demolt's hand just to be pushed away.

'Zaker' Kimmi shouted.

Zaker fired from Zack's mouth coming at Demolt who repelled it and almost hit Roberto who wasn't so happy about it.

Zack barely dodge another attack coming at him.

'Teosaiker' Kimmi shouted.

Zack swipe his hands firing Teosaiker. Teosaiker hit Demolt causing more damage.

Zack hit the ground hard but manage to stand up.

"Zack you already know where to attack, so focus there," Kimmi said.

"Right," Zack said.

"Useless, useless, as long as I have this you can't win against me," Roberto said.

"You may have the stone of moonlight but you don't have the kind of power Zack and I possess," Kimmi said, "We won't use to you."

"Same here," Leila responded and Sunbeam nodded.

Demolt was about to step on them at that moment but they dodge as Zack jumped.

Zack dodge attacks as Kimmi set herself.

'Saikerga' Kimmi shouted.

Zack swipe his hands firing Saikerga again that hit Demolt.

"Schneider create a distraction for Zack, act like a bug that he can't kill," Sunbeam said.

"Mey," Schneider agreed.

Schneider went to attack but Demolt kept him away and tried to stop Zack.

Leila jump to attack at that moment.

'Or Miguruga' Alber shouted.

Leila fired Or Miguruga at the stone and although she had it avoid one of Demolt's attack he manage to stop it and force Leila into the ground hard.

'Saiker' Kimmi shouted.

Zack swipe his hands firing Saiker that hit Demolt's chest. The stone heal the wound still.

Demolt hit Zack and Schneider directly into the ground.

"We have to help them fight Megumi," Tia said.

"No, I still haven't recover my strength from within, and Wonrei hasn't woken up yet," Megumi explained.

"Okay," Tia agreed

'Baofojio' Kimmi shouted.

Baofojio fired down and hit Zack recovering his body as he stood up.

"What about us?" Kanchome asked.

"You'll have to endure Kanchome," Folgore said.

"Yeah but…" Kanchome responded.

"You can protect everyone by acting a wall," Dr. Riddles explained, "Besides Zack and Kimmi hasn't yet to use their ultimate defense yet."

"Chajiru Baoshield," Tia remembered.

"That's right I almost, our Ma Seshield failed against one of their spells, but Zack's Chajiru Baoshield is several times stronger than it," Megumi said.

Demolt was about to step on Kimmi but Zack pulled her out of the way.

Zack jumped at Demolt remembering his time with Alm and when he disappeared.

'Teosaiker' Kimmi shouted.

Zack fired Teosaiker remembering Kido. He landed safely remembering Pamoon as he disappeared.

"I made a promise to almost everyone whose book was burned about the future Kimmi and I grew up in, and my goal is to become a strong and kind king who will protect everyone, all of which were motivated by those who fought hard. ," Zack said remembering his time with Leon and Arrow, as well as promising about waiting to Kolulu and Zemoruk being pulled out of Wonrei, "And in order to do both I need to make sure those like you don't succeed in your plan."

"That's right Zack, we can't allow anyone like them to continue," Kimmi said.

"Your attacks do as much damage as a fly to a hurricane," Roberto said.

"Zack you know where to go," Kimmi responded.

Zack ran behind Demolt and jumped as Roberto gave the order to finish them off.

Demolt strike down as Kimmi and Zack dodge it. 'Teosaiker' Kimmi shouted.

Zack swipe his hands firing Teosaiker at Demolt's weak spot.

Demolt hit Zack down to the ground.

Leila was impressed by Zack and Kimmi's growing power.

'Saikerga' Kimmi shouted.

Zack fired Saikerga into Demolt's weak spot once more.

Demolt strike down on the ground causing wind to blow Zack and Kimmi back Zack just jump right at Demolt.

"Mr. Sunbeam Leila create a pathway for Zack," Kimmi shouted.

Schneider helped Zack out as Leila aim at Demolt's feet.

'Migron' Alber shouted.

Leila fired Migron at Demolt's feet causing him to loose balance.

'Teosaiker' Kimmi shouted.

Zack fired Teosaiker into Demolt's neck causing more damage.

Meanwhile Sherry and Brago were struggling against Zophis as the gem on his helmet formed a barrier that even work against Dioga Gravidon.

They fired one Gigano reis after another that missed every time.

"As long as the stone remains intact in the tower my defense will keep protecting me," Zophis said.

'Dioga Gravidon' Sherry shouted. Brago fired Dioga Gravidon at Zophis that didn't work.

At the room Zack dodge another of Demolt's attack. Demolt manage to hit Schneider but Zack kept dodging.

"Where is Zack's power coming from?" Leila thought then saw that Zack's spellbook was shinning brightly.

"Its power being built up through their attacks, and determination," Folgore said.

"Yes of course, Zack's main source of strength is his will of determination," Dr. Riddles explained, "And with every Saikerga and Teosaiker, their determination grows stronger."

"You think they're planning to use Chajiru Baofodon?" Kanchome asked.

"No, although Chajiru Baofodon strength grows by the power of Zack's determination, I think they're setting up for their 7th spell Bao Saikerga."

Zack got into position ready to go.

'Teosaiker' Kimmi shouted.

Zack fired Teosaiker into Demolt's weak point.

"Don't think you're getting a chance to attack now that you're there," Roberto shouted, 'Hedyun Zemoruk'.

Horns popped out of Demolt's neck to attack. Zack jumped off the horns and got back into position.

'Bao Saikerga' Kimmi shouted.

The biggest Bao fired from Zack's mouth and hit Demolt forcing him down to the ground. Almost everyone had a hard time staying put against Zack's attack.

Zack landed on the ground as Kimmi barely stood.

Sadly Demolt was able to recover after the hit.

"That's not good," Kimmi responded.

"But he was hit by the largest Bao Saikerga ever launch," Dr. Riddles responded.

"Now you're going down," Roberto shouted.

Demolt went to punch Zack and Kimmi.

'So Giaku' Uri shouted.

Penny fired So Giaku to bite down on Demolt's arm stopping his attack.

"Penny!" Zack and Kimmi shouted.

"I hope you meant by your word about allowing us to help you if we join you Zackary Bell," Penny said.


A/N: A few necessary cut backs considering we're talking about Zack and Kimmi having to fight Demolt, so yeah Kimmi would know Roberto isn't being manipulated. I thought it would be necessary to use Bao Saikerga for the strike down on Demolt and then use Chajiru Baofodon to strike down Demolt after being hit three times by a spell that is about to appear in the chapter after the next. As for using Teosaiker and Saikerga in combination, since Teosaiker is Zack's best attack.


Next chapter...

"Penny and Byanko is helping," Zack shouted.

"Yeah, good thing two," Kimmi said, "We need all the help we can get."

"Eh, we got Chajiru Baoshield and Baofojio for an emergency," Zack said.

"Yeah but don't forget we can't keep using it," Kimmi said.

"Level 56: Penny's and Byanko's Help," Zack said, "All we have to do for now."
