Chapter 2: Brago saves Zatch.
Later, the dark Mamodo and his dog, Gofure were traveling around Humanville in disguise, well the dark Mamodo was the only one of the two disguised.
"Merry Christmas." a human spoke to the disguised dark Mamodo as he passed by.
"Oh yeah, Ho, ho, ho, and... stuff. Whatever... weirdo." the dark mamodo answered as he turned and saw a bicycle fell apart into pieces. "Uh oh, some has sabotage that vehicle. See what I tell, Gofure? The city's a dangerous place." he finished as they walked on, but it was the dark Mamodo who sabotage the bicycle, because even though no one sees it, he was holding a saw behind his back.
But then he saw a group of children and quickly told them to take the saw he was holding and run really fast. "Come on, kids. Come on, let's go! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move! Move!" then he walked off, causing more mischief as his canine sidekick followed him.
So why does the dark Mamodo hate Christmas? Don't ask why, please. No one really knows why. They don't know if it was just his shoes were too tight.
"Hey! They're not shoes! They're boots!" the dark Mamodo yelled out at me.
Or maybe it was that his head wasn't screwed on just right. But we all think that the most likely reason of all, was that his heart was two sizes, too small.
But then the dark Mamodo hid somewhere as he passed Zatch and his older step brother, Kiyo. "Kiyo? Do you think that there's more to Christmas than just presents?" the little child asked as he tried to fix his vulcan300's arms with glue.
But before Kiyo could answer. His friends, Suzy, Kane, Hiroshi, and Mamoru came running straight up to him all covered in snow. "What the neck happened to you guys?" shouted out Kiyo in shock.
"It was the dark Mamodo!" all four of Kiyo's friends cried out so loud that the entire town of Humanville heard them.
"The dark Mamodo? The dark Mamodo? The dark Mamodo?" everyone called out.
"What do you all want?" the disguised dark Mamodo called out, but then realized that he almost blow his cover, so he quickly spoke in a high pitched voice. "Uh, I mean, the dark Mamodo? OH NO!" then he picked up Gofure and ran for cover.
"Who said the dark Mamodo?" a retarded voice called out. Everyone turned to see the mayor of Humanville: Mayor Z.
"Kiyo, may I have a word with you?" Mayor Z asked Kiyo and he walked over to him. Mayor Z was shorter than all of the adult humans and he had orange hair and human tanned skin.
"Why did your friends have to let out the name of the only creature in this entire winter wonderland that hates Christmas? Especially during this wonderful time of the year?" the mayor asked.
"I apologize, Mayor Z. I'm sure that my friends didn't mean to let the entire town get all freaked out. Right guys?"
"Right!"
"Very well then. You heard it hear everyone! There's no dark Mamodo problem hear! So you all may go back to whatever it was that you were doing!" the mayor called out but was then hit in the neck by what it appears to be a spit ball.
The disguised dark Mamodo chuckled evilly as he pulled his mask over himself again after he spat that spit ball at the mayor.
Later that day at the post office.
Zatch and Kiyo were now helping their dad at the post office, but curiosity was getting the best of Zatch.
"Hey Kiyo. How come no one would talk about the dark Mamodo?" Zatch asked his step brother as he was putting letters into the right shipping rooms.
"Well, you see, Zatch. The dark Mamodo isn't a humana t all, but really what we call a Mamodo. And he just hates Christmas for some reason." Kiyo explained the best he could, but then his father called out to him.
"Hey Kiyo? Could you help me out here?" Seitaro Takamine asked.
"I'll be there in a minute, dad! Hey Zatch, could you dump these into the gift shipping room? And try not to fall in this time." Kiyo asked and Zatch nodded as he took the two gift boxes and rent to the back room, but he doesn't know that there's already someone else in the backroom.
"It'll take years for them to sort this out. This is hers and now it's yours. And this is yours and now it's his." the dark Mamodo spoke to himself as he shifted the packages back and forth into different shipping holes. "And now only one thing left..." he spoke again as he walked a few feet away from the holes and began to toss letters into different kinds of holes. "Jury duty, jury duty, jury duty, jury duty, blackmail, pink slip, long way, eviction notice, jury duty." he spoke out a bunch of nonsense until he heard Zatch walked into the room.
Zatch thought it was empty, but the dark Mamodo and his dog were hiding up in a corner on the ceiling. They were doing their best to keep quiet, but then Gofure sneezed.
"Bless you." Brago whispered, but Zatch heard them and turned around. Both creatures screamed as Brago fell to the ground on his feet.
"You're the... the... the... the... "Zatch kept stuttering, but then the dark Mamodo finished for him.
"The... the... the... the DARK MAMODO!" he roared at Zatch, which made him fell into the gift flattening room. "Let's go, Gofure." but his canine sidekick wouldn't listen. "There's no way I'm saving that brat." but then Gofure ran at his master and chewed on the back of his cape. "Alright! Alright! By the bleeding hearts of the world united!" the dark Mamodo shrieked out as he reached into the chute and pulled Zatch out.
"What's the matter with you! Don't you know that you can't be falling down things like that? What are you, some kind of wild animal? HAH!" he shouted in Zatch's face as he placed him down and pulled Gofure off his cape. "Let's go."
"Thank you for saving me." Zatch spoke happily, but then the dark Mamodo stopped where he was standing, making the car tire screech noise.
"You think that I would save you?" the dark Mamodo asked and Zatch nodded. "WRONGO!" he shouted at Zatch and grabbed some wrapping paper. "I just realized that you weren't correctly wrapped up." the dark Mamodo began to wrap Zatch up in wrapping paper. "Hold still! Gofure pick out a bow! Can I use your finger for a second!"
Later.
"Remember: Brago's my name, and hating Christmas is my game." the dark Mamodo now known as Brago finished as he ran out of the post office with Gofure not far behind. Kiyo quickly ran in and found Zatch all tied up. He quickly took the wrapping paper off.
"Zatch what happened, are you okay?"
"Kiyo, it was amazing! The dark Mamod just saved my life!" Zatch answered in excitement.
"What are you talking about?"
Later at night.
"I'm telling you guys, the dark Mamodo saved my life!" Zatch kept saying over and over again, but the others were ignoring them until they came to their house.
"Oh, hi boys. What do you think of the lights?" Hana Takamine asked as she stood on the roof.
"Mom? Why are you always interested in the Christmas lights every year?" both Kiyo and Zatch asked in unison.
"Well, every year, the human with the best lights is always that prisky girl next door, Sherry Bellmond. But this year, I've got this one in the bag." Hana explained, but was then interrupted by a woman from next door.
"Hello, Mrs. Takamine. Nice lights you have there." the woman known as Sherry Bellmond called out from next door.
"Oh, hi, Sherry. What's the matter, too lazy to put up your own lights?" Hana began to sass talk at the blond hair girl.
"Well, actually I don't want to risk breaking my hand again as I did last year, so I got this instead." Sherry responded as she showed Mrs. Takamine a strange looking cannon. She turned it on and it began to shoot Christmas lights at her house, hooking them on all by themselves. Hana fainted by fear of losing again this year at the best Christmas lights contest.
All the Takamine were all busy, except Zatch. 'If he's so bad, then why did he save me? Maybe he's not so bad after all. But I need more information about him, some how.' the blond haired child thought to himself.
Back on Mount Crumpet.
Brago and Gofure used Humanville's garbage disposal system to get them back home quickly. But as soon as they land onto a pile of trash, they heard a noise coming from the system. "What do you know? Another load's coming down." said Brago as he and Gofure got out of the way and more garbage came out of the hole of the garbage system.
"What's that stench! It smells... powerful!" Brago spoke again as he grabbed a bag of the new dumped garbage and read the bag's words, which say 'Hazardous waste.'
"Gofure, grab a bag! We'll come back for the rest. Of course when I say 'we' I mean you. Why would these humans throw away stuff like this? Well, as they say, ' one life form's toxic sludge, is another life form's popery." Brago finished as his dog let out a bark.
"I don't know, maybe it's some kind of soap?" Brago answered his dog's question and he let out another bark.
"Why do you keep asking me stupid worthless questions every time on this part of the year?" Brago snapped as they both walked up to the front door and went inside.
What will happen now? And who is this Mayor Z? Stay tune and find out.
