Ah yes. Yet another chapter of GET THAT RED BOOK…

Sorry I haven't made one in quite a while, just was busy doing other things in my life.

Thank you all who reviewed my fan fiction, since it's new and all.

To answer to some of the weird questions, Zatch may have to choose between Kiyo and Rick later in the future chapters of this fiction. Also, Rick tried to read the Ra-shield spell before, but was unable to. The power of the mamodo is in the reader, and since Rick was the new reader instead of Kiyo for the moment, he can't read the spells Kiyo earned.

Anyway, back to the fic…

Chapter 5: Stealing from the Fallen

From where we last left our heroes, they kicked the Yugioh hater ninja guy and his mamodo's ass. Rick is now going through their pockets while the two were seemingly dead.

"Ah yes," Rick says to himself. "This is the worst part of beating someone into unconsciousness. Stealing from dead people." He then takes out a glove and proclaims, "Actually, what am I talking about. This is the best part of the whole deal."

"Rick," Zatch asks while watching Rick going through the wallet of the human ninja. "Why are we going through their stuff?"

Rick smiles and tells him, "Because, they lost. We might as well take some of their stuff before they wake up. They might have some valuable stuff we can use later with them." "Oh. Ok."

Rick pulls out a bunch of stuff from the human ninja. He finds in the pockets tons of kunai, shurikens, scrolls, and other things that seemed useful. He even had a scroll full of the tally marks of mamodos he defeated, which was sadly only one.

Rick then picks up the book and opens it to the second page, which was where the laser ability was.

"Rick, you better not do that. The last guy who tried to read my book was shocked and hurt. It might do the same to you," Zatch warns as he stands holding a scroll and tries to eat it.

"Well Zatch. I guess with what you say, then the book chooses the reader," Rick guesses as he finds a bag full of instant ramen in the left pocket of the ninja. "So maybe if you trust the person, then the book should also let the person you trust read it. Meaning that it could result in multiple readers in large quantities so long as you still trust them."

Rick turns to see Zatch sleeping with pieces of scroll in his mouth. Rick yells at him, "ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!"

Rick looks at a box of black duck tape and takes one roll out. "This gives me an idea. HEY ZATCH!" Zatch wakes up asking why Rick woke him up. "Did you like the laser attack the fat mamodo did?" Zatch nods and then finds a box of Pocky in the ninja mamodo's pocket, opens it, and starts eating. "Hey Rick," Zatch asks the redheaded bookkeeper. "Do we have to BURN their book?" "No Zatch. I have a more productive idea."

Rick then takes out a knife (which was also in a box), ripping out the page for the laser attack as he slid the blade down the book. The ninja mamodo twitched then was knocked out even more. Rick then takes out the black duck tape and taped the page to the back, right before the 'Tic Tac Toe' ability.

"Rick, what did you do that for?" Zatch asks as he fells a weird sensation within him. "Well Zatch, since we can't read the spell when it's in their book, I'm cutting out the page and putting it in yours." As he says that the page he taped on turns red and Zatch's eyes turn red then brown again.

Rick then tells Zatch to look at a couple of empty boxes for a moment, which Zatch did and reads out "Reezaa!" At that moment, Zatch shot out lasers out of his eyes and the boxes exploded. Unfortunately, a piece knocked the book out of Rick's hand and lunged it into the air. There, it knocked into a lever, turning on the packaging system of the warehouse. The book landed in a box and was sealed, then piled onto a pile of boxes. The two managed to stop the conveyer belt, but not before the book was buried in a pile of boxes.

"Zatch! We have to open all these boxes and find the book before it's too late!" Rick panicked as he took out his knife and the two opened in a panicked way the boxes to find the package with the red book. "Hurry Zatch. We must get that red book!"
