Thanks for all the reviews I got so far...
I must say, I wasn't expecting GET THAT RED BOOK! to become such a good hit in such few chapters.
Also, to Twilight Memories: I actually made up the whole 'more than one reader was chosen for the book' thing in the fic. I thought it would be funny. If it really was in the manga, someone truly didn't told me ahead of time. Anyway, back to the fic...
Chapter Three: Ninjas and Yugioh
Rick stares at the bad cooking his older sister made. She had carrot colored hair like him, but with streams of black on the tips of her hair. Her clothes were much like his, being normal American clothes, but was red instead of his blue. Since she was working all day in her new job, she had badly made precooked meals for him to eat. "Must I eat this?" he argued sticking his fork in the meal and watch as the plastic fork melted when it touched the soup.
"Sorry." She said while setting the table. "I don't know how to cook and mom and dad are still at work. Here" She hands him some money. "Go and buy some ramen somewhere."
He walks out of the house as he takes the red book of Kiyo's, hoping he might run into him while looking for a good ramen place. Ever since they moved into Japan and settled in, his mom and dad were working hard in Nintendo, making and programming video games. His mom was an American red head, but his father grew up here in the cities of Japan and moved to learn from an American university after graduating the top classes in his classes. When he was little, his dad would tell him stories of how there were these little demon children called 'Mamodos' that existed one thousand years ago. Nowadays, he looks back at his childhood and laughs at how he could believe in such a lie. 'Mamodos don't exist' he told himself when he was ten after be stopped believing in Santa Claus.
Around the corner, Zatch was running, looking for Rick and hoping that Rick wouldn't read out another verse of the book. Suddenly, the two crashed into each other. After recovering from the shock, Zatch recognized that he crashed into Rick and greeted him. "Hi Rick! Kiyo and I were looking all over the place for you!"
"That's nice Zatch," Rick told his blond 'amigo' as he picked the book out of his pocket and showed it to Zatch. "Can you tell me why this book glows when I read out the red words?" Zatch smiles and tells him, "Because I'm a Mamodo!"
Rick burst into laughter as he tells Zatch with tears from laughing so hard, "Nice try Zatch, but there's no such thing as Mamodos." "I am too!" Zatch exclaimed. "I can even prove it! Just read out the first page of the book when I tell you to!"
Zatch stared into the sky as Rick opens the book to the first page. Zatch gave the signal and Rick read out, "ZAKERU!" At that moment, Zatch's eyes went back and he shot out a giant beam of lightning that caused Rick to jump back and cower. When the beam finally ended, Rick got out of the hiding spot and exclaimed, "Holy Crap! You really are a Mamodo, Zatch!"
After a couple of minutes of explaining, Zatch finally told his side of the Mamodo world to Rick as the red head tried to process all this in his mind.
"SO let me get this strait," Rick said as he took out a bunch of giant paper and flipped the newly drawn pages by Zatch.
"You're a Mamodo…" The first page was a badly drawn Zatch. "Who is one of a hundred…" The next page was a hundred badly drawn Zatch. "Who came into this world with a magical book from the Mamodo World every thousand years…" The next page shows a badly drawn Zatch being kicked off from a passage to the underworld with a book in his hand. "Who needs a human reader to use their powers…" The next page shows a badly drawn Kiyo commanding the baldy drawn Zatch to shoot lightning. "Who fight other Mamodos and burn their books to knock them back into the Mamodo World…" The next page shows a badly drawn Rekom crying as he is sent to the Mamodo World while his book is nothing but ashes. "To become the Mamodo King." The last page shows Zatch with a crown on his head as he is on the top of a pile of beaten yet badly drawn Mamodos. Zatch nods to this and asks Rick if he beliefs in him.
"Well, this makes more sense than saying you're a werewolf. We have to find Kiyo before some other Mamodo finds us-"
Suddenly, a fat Mamodo with brown hair and a ninja appears and says, "Hay! We're the evil ninja guy and ninja Mamodo!" Zatch response, "It can't be! But then again, they did a ninja entrance…"
The ninja Mamodo responses, "That's right! We're here to burn your book because being the Mamodo King would be cool and I want to boss all my fellow Mamodos around."
Rick and Zatch look at each other and Rick told him, "No way. I have a Yugioh fan fiction to read." Zatch looks at him and asks, "You watch Yugioh?" "Yeah!" Rick tells him, "It's one of the best anime, manga, and card games EVER!" "Really, me too!" "Oh great! Remember in the movie where Yami Yugi uses his last turn to summon the Blue Eyes Shining Dragon to defeat that evil guy?" "Yeah. It was the best…"
"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!" the ninja yells, as he grows annoyed by the nerd-like actions of the two. "Yugioh sucks! It sucked since it began! Both the manga and the anime sucked! The card game sucked! Knights of the Zodiac were always better than that crap."
Suddenly, Zatch and Rick snapped. Their left eyes were twitching as they turned to the ninjas, pissed and enraged. "That's it!" Rick yelled opening the book. "You're going down!" As he said this, the battle between Zatch and the ninja Mamodo began.
TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER…
Side Note to all... I am a Yugioh fan.
