Chapter 7

"Questionable Motives"

Part 2 of 3

"Now he's out of the way, it's your turn Tia..." snickers Monruse, then into an evil laugh that echos through the halls.

Monruse unleashes another rock attack aimed Tia. Tia closes her eyes and awaits her final destiny, until a momodo clothed in a black robe appears out of nowhere in front of Tia as the words "Aero Nexus" echoed through the halls. The new momodo's eyes turn white and a shield of wind blocks the rock attack.

Monruse takes back his rock attack as soon as his attack became unsuccessful. "Who's he Monruse?" asked Monruse's partner. Monruse stares and the black robed momodo, who still had his hood on, and the new momodo replied, "Get out of here, you presence is not necessary here, for those who attack defenseless beings are not needed here."

Monruse cries out, "Who the hell are you?" The momodo takes his hood off to reveal a very old momodo with white hair and green eyes. Then, out of the shadows comes a person with a gray spell book, who is revealed to be an old man, but very muscular with an equally white head of hair. The old man replies, "you will not be allowed to pass, unless you can defeat us."

The momodo says to Tia, "Get Zatch and Kyo, now, another momodo named Magi will be with them." Tia stares at the new momodo and replies, "But we can't trust anyone else besides our own partners!" The momodo replies with, "If you don't get them, Megumi's concert will end with a permanent intermission!"

Tia runs towards the doors that lead into the audience. The new momodo turns towards Kyle's unconscious body and the old man says, "Cura!" The momodo's eyes turn white and a bright light engulfs Kyle, then Kyle's wounds are healed, and Kyle stands up.

"Um, what's going on here?" says Kyle blankly.

The momodo looks back to Monruse and says, "Leave, or you'll be finished!" Monruse chuckles, then his partner yells out a spell. Monruse unleases a bunch of large rocks at the momodo, but then the old man yelled out, "Ultimate Macare!" The momodo's eyes turn white and puts both hands together, then a large orb of elements appear between both hands. The rocks from Monruse's attack is absorbed into the orb and the momodo goes into a stance that increases the size of the orb. Then the old man yelled out, "Release!" The momodo throws the attack at Monruse and as the orb traveled, all matter around the orb was destroyed in it's path. Monruse, in a rush of fear, runs outside of the hall to the outside world. The old man then yelled out, "Explosion!" The orb exploded, taking the hall with it.

Finally, Tia returns with Zatch, Kyo, and Magi. "Where's that Monruse guy!"

The new momodo turned towards Kyo and replied, "Outside, if you desire to burn his book, go right ahead." Zatch and Kyo run outside after Monruse and his partner.

"So, Magi, it's been a while..." Says the new momodo to Magi. "Do I know you?" asked Magi. The new momodo quints at Magi, then looks at him with a confused look. "Magi, don't you remember who I am?" Magi shakes his head. "So, while transporting to this world, you must have lost a bit of your memory... (sigh) well, they did say some would, oh well... My name is Oma, your old teacher from the momodo world." "And my name is George, a pleasure to meet someone who was trained under Oma, even though they might not remember," replied the old man.

Kyle whispers to Magi, "I think they're nuts..." Magi replied, "no, I do vaguely remember him from somewhere, and he's response is quite logical." Kyle huffs, then replies with, "Great, me the liar!"

Then Oma spoke out saying, "I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but this is the best time that the two of us should begin our battle now... Ms. Tia, please leave..." Tia runs away from the hall, as Oma and Magi walk outside, while Kyo, Zatch, and Monruse are nowhere to be found.

"Why do you want to fight us?" asked Kyle. Oma sighed and replied, "Because, it's the only way we can gain a new momodo king." "Can't we be allies?" George replies with, "only one momodo can become the momodo king/queen, and Oma here wants to know if you two are ready for the real battle ahead..."

"You see, I want at least one of my old students can win the battle, for I had hoped that my teaching gave them good values, unfortunately, I failed with Miguel. So Magi's my only hope." said Oma finally.

"Why me, why not you?"asked Magi.

"I won't live on much longer, I am the longest living momodo in the Momodo World, and unfortunately, I am dying. The Momodo World needs a young and good leader, I hope it to be you, Magi."

"But why do we have to battle?" asked Kyle.

"So that we know that you are ready for the ultimate battle..." replied George.

Kyle sighs and pulls out his white spell book and goes into a battle stance and says, "Alright, if you wish to battle us, then prepare to defend yourselves!" Kyle's white spell book begins to glow at a great rate and glows brighter than anything before. Magi also goes into a battle stance and prepares for battle.

George's gray book glows with just as mush intensity as Kyle's book and stands ready. Oma stands in the same battle position as Magi.

"Are you sure that you wish to fight us, there could be another way!" yelled Kyle.

"There is no other way, this is what has to be done to allow the Momodo World live on..." replied Oma, ready to fight.

"Macare!" yells both Kyle and George. Both Magi and Oma raise their right hands and fire their own blasts of elements and are released to collide with each other and the effect creates an explosion that creates smoke that engulfs the two fighting Elemental Masters...
