Kasek: Yay! I'm getting good reviews! I feel so good, that I'm going to do the disclaimer myself!
Peerin: WHAT? But that's my job… (goes and pouts in the corner)
Kasek: Yeah, yeah… Anyways, I do not own anything here except for my OCs. (And the plot, of course.)
Chapter 5: The Weak Are Strong
"You… you monster! I can't believe I ever called you my friend! There's no way I'll let you continue your reign of terror! It stops right here!" Zatch's eyes were burning with pure hatred, along with Kiyo, Megumi and Tia's.
"Burn his book quickly Zatch, before I get in there and do it myself!" Tia was only held back by Megumi's firm grim on her.
"I know how you feel, Tia, but this is Zatch's battle. We mustn't interfere. C'mon, let's get to higher ground before this really heats up." Tia was reluctant, but she knew in her heart that if Peerin really had gone bad, he could use Tia and Megumi to his advantage.
"Alright Zatch, if you lose, I'll never forgive you!" Tia said running off to the top of the hill. Zatch looked up at her.
"Don't worry Tia; I'll never lose to someone like him! C'mon Kiyo, let's stop him, once and for all!"
Kiyo nodded in agreement. It had been a while since Zatch had gotten so worked up over one Mamodo. "Alright Zatch, we're going to give our all in this fight!"
Peerin laughed. "You guys think that you can actually defeat me? I'm telling you right now, you should quit while you're not too far behind! I haven't even begun to fight yet!"
It was Zatch who laughed now. "Well, either have we! You've only seen one spell so far! You don't know what I'm capable of yet!"
Peerin glared at him coldly. "Alright, then show me what you've got! Nathan, spell number three!"
Nathan sighed, opening the book again. "GIROW!" As the arrow launched, it glowed a bright blue. Kiyo thought about what it would do, and he realized what was going to happen. He called out their second spell.
"RASHIELD!" A giant yellow barrier burst from the ground, intercepting the blue arrow just in time. When the arrow hit the barrier, it came right out, turned around, and flew at its senders, crackling with electricity.
"Oh, SHOOT!" Peerin and Nathan leapt backwards before the arrow hit the ground in front of them. As soon as it touched the grass, it froze a large chunk of the ground into a field of ice, including the part that Peerin and Nathan were going to land on. As soon as they touched it, they slipped and fell over. In this position, they could not see the electricity heading right towards them…
BZZZZT! Peerin and Nathan got fried by the electricity that had come with the arrow. However, they got back up, raring to go, but slightly burnt. They quickly got off of the ice.
"That's a neat trick you have there, Zatch. I've never seen a shield that actually reflects the spell back at the attacker before."
Kiyo was the one to respond. "As I thought, an ice spell! You guys are going to have to do better than that to beat us!"
Peerin looked at Kiyo, a slight fear in his eyes. You knew what was coming? You're one smart human. I guess we're going to have to kick it up a few notches." He proceeded to draw back his bowstring, even though there was no arrow. "C'mon Nathan, let's go for something big."
Nathan nodded in agreement. "GONZUBIRAIROW!" A bunch of arrows made of light appeared around Peerin. When he released his string, they started to fly straight at Zatch and Kiyo. Kiyo knew this was going to bite him in the butt, but he didn't see how they were going to get out of this one.
"RASHIELD!" The electric barrier rose once again to block their enemies spell. However, he thought it very suspicious when he didn't hear the sound of the spell colliding with the Rashield. When the spell faded away, Peerin was just on the other side, waiting for them. Kiyo didn't give him the chance to launch another arrow.
"ZAKERGA!" Zatch let out a focused beam of electricity that hit Peerin square on, snapping his bow into two pieces, and sending him flying towards Nathan. Nathan caught him, and put him down. His concern was written all over his face.
"Peerin, are you alright? That was one nasty attack…" Peerin wasn't listening. He looked over at the remains of his bow. Rage poured throughout his body, invading every part of his being.
"ZAAAATCH! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT ONE! NATHAN, CAST THE FINAL SPELL!"
Nathan flinched when he saw his partner's expression. He had never seen anybody so filled with rage in his entire life. He realized how much the bow had meant to him. Nathan's eyes narrowed as he called out their most powerful spell.
"GIGANO APOROW!" Peerin lifted his hands above his head. There was a great flash, and above Peerin there was a god-like figure, wearing a Greek robe, with a giant bow in hand and a large quiver of arrows made of light. As it launched an arrow, Kiyo knew what he had to do.
"BAO ZAKERGA!" Zatch opened his mouth wide, letting loose a great lightning bolt that took the form of a great yellow dragon. The dragon took the hit, and kept on advancing towards its targets. The god kept firing arrows as fast as it could, but the dragon did not even flinch. When the god had fired its last arrow, it disappeared, leaving Peerin and Nathan defenseless. Peerin looked up at the dragon. He spread his arms wide, grinning from ear to ear.
"COME ON DRAGON! SHOW ME YOUR POWER!" Peerin stood there as the great serpent made its way towards him. The dragon opened its mouth wide, and…
Kasek: Ooh, cliffy. I like those, don't you? Tell me what you think of this battle. And if you can tell me what Peerin's final spell is a reference to, I'll give you an e-cookie. The next chapter is the final chapter; don't worry, I'll write more as a continuation of this story.
Peerin: You couldn't have gone on just a bit longer? I want to know what happens to meeee……
