Chapter 3 - Kiyo and Megumi's Recall Session
"Zatch...when did this spell get here?" Kiyo asked opening the book, noticing a spell in green ink.
Zatch was to busy jumping on Kiyo's bed, answering only when his feet hit the mattress, before bouncing up, again. Three bounces later Zatch was able to release the words I, don't, and know. As Zatch was bouncing, he threw his Vulcan 300 into the air, and then caught it as he landed anew.
"Zatch, put that thing down and get off my bed, this doesn't make sense. We never even faught any other mamodo lately so how can we unlock a new spell, and why is it in different coloured ink!"
Zatch stopped jumping, and looked up at his partner. The mamodo was as perplexed as the human.
"Maybe we just got lucky, Kiyo! Who cares! Now we have another spell to help me become a kind king!"
Kiyo nodded and smiled. He shouldn't become worried over a simple new spell, especially since he knew it was just another step closer to ensuring Zatch's victory as a kind ruler. Kiyo read over the spell. The line read: Incarus
A couple ofmonths later, it wasa festiveholiday, Christmas had arrived.Kiyo's mom had visited his father in England, so he and Zatch were left alone. Everyone else was inside, celebrating. The two decided to go to the deserted park and train for a bit, try out the new spell. When they arrived, the pair were surprised to see Tia and Megumi in front of them.
"Megumi! Tia!" Cried Zatch
"Hey girls! Why aren't you inside with your family?" Kiyo asked.
"I was gonna ask you the same question!" Megumi replied.
"Kiyo's mom went to England!" Zatch shouted.
"Well Megumi's family also left for another country, but we had to stay behind because Megumi has a speical holiday concert in town later tonight!" Tia answered at her turn.
Kiyo explained how he discovered a strange spell in his book a while ago, and after months of neutral activity and no mamodo battles, he decided to try it out. To his surprise, Megumi told the same tale.
"I don't know how it got there...but I opened the book one day and there it was!" She explained.
The two compared the lines in green ink, and came to the conclusion that it was the same spell. They also decided it was time to unleash it. The two stood apart from each other, on opposite sides, as if it were a mamodo battle in progress. Both took a deep breath and shouted their spells.
"INCARUS!" They shouted together.
A large green light exploded fromboth books, blinding the quartlet. A cold metal object could he felt in Kiyo's hand, as he grasp it tightly. The light faded, and he looked to find a large sword in his right hand. He looked up to see Megumi holding the same object, the difference was the insignia on the handle, Kiyo's holding the lightning-style emblem that appeared on Zatch's RaShield spell, and Megumi's harnessed the angel wing emblem that appeared on Tia's Ma Seshield spell.
"Wait...I remember...This is the Sword of the Mamodo King!" Kiyo gasped.
"I remember too...but how did we get it..." Megumi answered.
"It doesn't matter...Tia, you said this sword helped us protect our mamodo's, spells can be used without the spell book, right?" Kiyo asked.
"Yes...but I never told you that..." Tia replied.
"It doesn't matter! I remember now!I remember all the spells for the sword as well! Its like some memory flooding into me! It makes no sense...but I remember!" Kiyo was rambling.
Megumi nodded slowly in agreement, she too could recall spells that seemed only capable of being unleashed by her sword and not Tia, she didn't know how, but she remembered.
