Chapter 3. Unwanted Partners

Zatch walked along the sidewalk looking for someone to be his human partner. He started sniffing for him like last time.

" Well, he's way too far away. " said Zatch. " There's no way I can get there on foot. " Zatch said to himelf. So Zatch sat there on the sidewalk, thinking of a way to get there.

" I know! " said Zatch excitedly. " I just have to call Owashi! " said Zatch. He started whistling and calling for him. No answer.

" Huh... but he always comes. " said Zatch sadly. Okay plan B.

" I have to get on a plane! " said Zatch excitedly, but at that moment a huge black bird came to Zatch.

" Owashi! I knew you'd come! " said Zatch. " HahahaHAhaha! Zatch did his usual happy laugh. " Okay Owashi let's get to my partner! " shouted Zatch. Zatch thought for a minute.

" But... I don't have a sample to smell him or her by. " Zatch said sadly.

" Kacoo! " said Owashi.

" What? You no where my partner is! " Zatch asked.

" Kacoo! " said Owashi.

" Alright! Can you take me to him or her? asked Zatch

" Kacoo! " said Owashi.

" Thanks Owashi! I owe you one! said Zatch. " Lead the way! My feathered friend! " shouted Zatch jumping on the bird's back. Then they took off, with Zatch's book still in his hands.

After flying for a little while, Zatch tried to put the mamodo out of his mind and tried to think of who his next partner could be.

" Kacoo! " said Owashi still flapping his wings.

" Yes! We're almost there! " shouted Zatch very excitedly.

Flying for one more hour, Owashi finally said:

" Kacoo! "

" What? We're finally there! " asked Zatch a bit tired. The bird swooped down near a hotel and let Zatch off.

" Hooray! " Zatch said excitedly. Zatch ran to the hotel and begin pounding on the door.

" Who is it? " asked the occupier of the room.

" It's me, Zatch Bell! " shouted Zatch.

" Zatch Bell! " said the occupier emotionlessly.

" Yup. I've come to- " said Zatch, but he was then cut off by the stranger's voice.

" Get out! " shouted the stranger.

" Hey! How rude, I'm here to help you! " said Zatch, a bit annoyed. The stranger finally opened the door, revealing cruel fate.

" You! That guy! NO! " shouted Zatch. " You-you are that guy with my-my look-alike! " Zatch was right. There right at the door, was Dufort!

" So you're my mamodo? " asked Dufort.

" Y-yes... " said Zatch trembling.

" Good. Come inside so I can burn your book. " said Dufort still emotionlessly.

" Wh-what! " shouted Zatch. Zatch ran away.

" Owashi. was that really my book owner? " asked Zatch.

" Kacoo! " said Owashi.

" What! It wasn't? Then who is? " asked Zatch.

" Kacoo! " said Owashi.

" You don't know! " said Zatch. " You mean we flew all the way here for nothing? " asked Zatch. Owashi picked Zatch up with his beak and put him on his back. Then Owashi took off in search for Zatch's real partner. So far, no one.

" Well, well. " said a mamodo spying on Zatch from a very tall building.

" So you have gone along with a battle. " said the mamodo. " A foolish choice! " said the evil mamodo now laughing maniacally.

" Kacoo. " said Owashi, a bit quieter.

" It's okay Owashi. I expected too much of you. " said Zatch. Zatch then fell asleep.

DREAM

Zatch was still king, and the mamodo and he was face-to-face.

" Well King Zatch, how does it feel to fight? " said the mamodo.

" I take no pleasure in this, but I must. " said Zatch. "Zaker " with that spell said, out of Zatch's mouth he shot out lightning.

" Rashield! " with the mamodo saying that, a huge wall-like shield made of electricity and lightning came up and blocked the attack. Not only that but it deflected the attack back at Zatch.

" A-arggh " said Zatch a bit injured. " If I have to fight maybe I can lure the mamodo away! " Zatch said to himself. " Jikerdor " said Zatch, and then out of his mouth, he created a moving ball of light. Then it kept getting smaller with each approach.

" Is that your best idea! " asked the mamodo. He then teleported far away from the spell. Making the spell restricted, for no enemy was around. He then re-appeared.

Fool! It will be far more difficult than that! Baozeruk! " with that Zatch realized his book was automatically burning!

" NOOOOO! " screamed Zatch.

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! " laughed the evil mamodo. " You will never be any match for me! " cackled the mamodo. Zatch then disappeared back to the mamodo world.

" I lost. " said a very upset Zatch.

END DREAM

" Aaaaahhh! " screamed Zatch. Waking up Owashi.

" Kacoo! " said Owashi.

" Sorry Owashi, I had a very scary dream. " said a slightly scared Zatch.

" Kacoo! " asked Owashi.

" I don't want to talk about it. " said Zatch quietly.
