Chapter 3: "A Scanning Experience"
I had to quietly sneak Faerie Bell into my room after the battle. I congratulated her on trying to fight against the Kougra even though the Usul did all the work.
"I didn't really do all that well because you didn't use any cards." Faerie Bell said.
"I didn't know how!" I said a little too loudly.
Faerie Bell cringed, "I'm sorry, Amelia. I didn't mean it like that. I know you don't know how to scan the cards right. I bet if you ask the mystery girl how, she'll show you." The Kau sounded apologetically.
"I'm sure." I said sarcastically. I didn't look forward to meeting her face to face.
-the next day-
"Where do you suppose we look, Faerie Bell? It was your idea in the first place." I said, pushing back a small twig from my face.
When we got through the trees, I saw that same Yellow Usul.
"What's your name, cutie pie?" I asked, trying to be nice so she wouldn't attack.
The Usul said, "I can't tell you, Amelia. My owner has forbidden it."
"How do you know my name?"
"Because I do." It said plainly. "Amelia, take out your Neoscanner."
"My what?"
The Usul held something up. It was the girl's device that she had scanned the cards in. "This is my owner's Neoscanner. You scan the cards to use them. The stat number on the card is what is raised in the Neope- Huh?"
She was interrupted by something. The ground starting shaking and the Usul dashed off.
Faerie Bell followed her and ran at full speed. I followed her the best I could.
When she finally stopped, I saw that Usul fighting a Blue Gelert.
"Tail Spin!"
"Horn Blaster!" Faerie Bell yelled to try to help.
"Huh?" The Usul's owner said to herself but ignored my presence, "Neoscan... Potion of Strength Energize!"
The Gelert hit Faerie Bell with his back legs.
The Usul attacked, "Energy Arrow!" A bow appeared in her paws and she shot an arrow at the foe.
The Gelert jumped over it so the arrow was advancing to Faerie Bell.
"Faerie Bell!" I yelled. Then I remembered that...
-flashback-
"...You scan the cards to use them. The stat number on the card is what is raised in the Neope- Huh?"
-end of flashback-
"I could use the cards!" I grabbed one from my pocket. It was an Ice Scimitar. "Let's see if I can do this... Neoscan... Ice Scimitar... Energize!"
The arrow blasted Faerie Bell anyway.
"You used the wrong kind of card, Amelia!" The Yellow Usul shouted as she dogded the Gelert's attack, "You need to use a... magic or agility- oof!" The Gelert had pawed the Usul in the stomach.
"No!" It's owner yelled, "Neoscan... Ring of the Summoner Energize!"
The Usul endured the hit, "Tail Spin!"
"Faerie Bell!" I yelled, "Are you ready for another try? Neoscan... Wooden Blocking Shield Energize!"
Faerie Bell sped toward the Gelert, "Hoof Crusher!" The Gelert hit a tree and broke in half.
"Energy Arrow!"
"Horn Blaster!"
The two attacks was too much for the Gelert to endure. It was sent back to Neopia.
"Yeah! We did it!" I shouted in praise. "Thank you, Usul"
"My name is-"
"Not now." The Usul's owner said sharply, "Let's go."
I mouthed a thank you to the Usul and it nodded as it disappeared into the distance.
Next chapter you(the readers) will find out who "the mystery girl" is, although Amelia will not. Review!
