I don't think enough people are reading the first chap, which

was the other story so I'm just rewriting the first chap. Enjoy! Please review.

"Hey Travis pass the ball over here!" yelled my brother from up the soccer field. It was the soccer finals of 8th grade. I kept on seeing a little kid on the sidelines. It was starting to creep me out a little bit.

"Tyler! Go down field!" Tyler and I were called the dynamic duo of soccer because no team was ever able to defeat us while we played. We also did gymnastics so we could flip and all that jazz. I kicked the ball at a point where it flew forward and the opposite team had created a wall. Why I don't know? Then I grabbed the ball in between and jumped and did a misty flip and then in mid air I passed to Tyler. (The crowd screamed and shouted yelling things that made Tyler and me so confident). Tyler jumped for it a slammed his head against it and the ball went across about 10 yards and right before it went in to the goal the goalie tripped. Tyler wanted to show off, so before he kicked it in he stopped it right before the goalie and said,

"Come on. Try and get it."

The goalie reached for it as strong and fast as he could but still wasn't good enough. He kicked it into the air and headed it in. Whistle blows

We won the game. When I got back to the bench I saw the little kid. He was about up to my waist but looked older for his age. He was wearing a red shirt with a orange, yellow and red fire emblem on it. Around his neck was a necklace that looked like it had a ruby on it shaped like fire. It almost looked like wind was blowing in it. He was wearing winter red gloves with orange stripes. His shorts were yellow with an orange stripe going down the middle from the top. He had dirty blonde hair. His skin looked like a pretty decent tan. He also had a yellow backpack on that had a flap so rain couldn't get in. I walked up to him.

I bent down and said "Hi, I saw you watching the game all by yourself. Did you lose your parents?"

He replied in a high but average voice "I…I don't have any parents…"

I went red just like his shirt and gasped. "Oh… I'm so sorry. Come on. You can come home with me. My parents went on a vacation for a few months. You can come home with me."

He made a happy smirk on is face and he looked like he had an idea of some sort.

I gave him a funny look and laughed.

"Th…th…Thank you."

3 hours later

We went back to my house. I gave Tiko what to him was a feast. He just wouldn't stop eating. How could a kid have such a big appetite? He went to the bathroom and took a shower. As he was doing that and was cleaning out his backpack which really only had a change of clothes and an orange book. I was looking through the book and I couldn't read any of the blue letters. Than I came to one of the first pages and was able to read the red letters only. How was this possible?

When Tiko walked into the room I asked, "Hey Tiko, what is Shakai!Ahh!"

I ducked because flames just blasted out Tiko's mouth. I looked at him in horror and backed away and then I blanked out.

I awoke to see Tiko right on top of me with a ice pack trying to wake me up.

"Phew. I just had the wildest dream that you shot flames out of your mouth. Some nightmare, right?" I said.

"That wasn't a dream Travis." Replied Tiko

"I was afraid you'd say that."

"Sit up for what I'm about to tell you Travis because it might change your life."

He had a very serious look on so I was respectful and listened.

"I am what's called a mamodo. I am from another world. Every 10 years 100 mamodo's are chosen to battle to decide who will become the king or queen. We eeach have a spell book which chooses someone and enables them to read it. As the mamodo get's more powerful more red letters will appear and stronger spells will open, though if anyone ever burns the book I will be sent back to other mamodo world. The book has chosen you. So now I'm asking you…will you help me?"

I looked at him and hugged him.

"Tiko, why wouldn't I?"

"Thanks Travis."

An explosion happens outside

We went right outside the window onto the mini porch.

Across the street was what looked like a clown mamodo and a magician as he book holder.

"So! We hear a new mamodo is in town!" he said this in a thick Italian accent. "Either surrender your book or face utter destruction!"

I looked at Tiko and smiled. He smiled back. Then I picked him up and put him on my back and then grabbed the gutter and slid down. I got up to the edge of the street and put Tiko down next to me.

I shot my hand and pointed to him. Again I smiled at Tiko and looked back at the clown mamodo and magician and said.

"GET READY TO BATTLE! BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING DOWN!"

Remember that this was a rewrite of the first chap. The next chap is going to be really intense. Hehe. Couldn't help the cliffhanger.
