After a couple of hours at the museum, the gang separated. Megumi had a concert at eight, so she and Tia had to hurry. The concert wasn't far, maybe 10 or so miles, but it was already seven thirty and preparations had to be made.

As Kiyo and Zatch waited for a bus to come, Zatch decided to tell Kiyo about the mamodo. "Kiyo! At the museum, I saw a mamodo!" he said. Kiyo looked down at him with a frightened look. "You did? Did it challenge you?" Kiyo exclaimed.

Zatch shook his head. "He just told me something about some dinosaur and left. He sort of blushed when he spoke to Tia, but that's not important." Kiyo smiled. "Oh, it isn't? How observant of you to notice that someone slightly blushed towards Tia, when it wasn't even mentioned in the last chapter." Zatch frowned. "Hey, what's that supposed to me! Are you inferring that I have a crush on Tia? Well, for your information, my heart already belongs to somebody. Yellowtail!"

Kiyo shook his head. He could see what was happening, and they didn't have a clue (like before 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight! Ha ha). "So Zatch, back to the mamodo look like?" Kiyo asked. Zatch explained to him about the head band, more like a crown, the gems on his hands, his hair, face markings, everything.

The next morning was a Saturday, so Zatch did the usual wake up call.

"KIYO! WAKE UP! WAKEY WAKEY UPPY UPPY! NO SCHOOL! NOTHING BUT ZATCH ALL DAY!" Zatch screamed while jumping on Kiyo. Kiyo picked Zatch up and locked him in the closet for another hours rest.

Eventually, Kiyo woke up and let Zatch out of the closet. They decided to go to the park, so Zatch could "play" with Naomi and Kiyo could think about upcoming mamodo battles.

The park was surprisingly empty. Really, it was them and two other people, a little boy and a taller teen. The place was also sort of misty.

The taller person, who was looking away from Kiyo and Zatch, spoke to the smaller kid. "They are here. How lucky for us!" He whispered. The little boy stopped what he was doing and stood next the teen. "You are right. But they are leaving!" he said. The teen looked at them. "You're right. We must strike now."

Kiyo and Zatch ate the lunch their prepared and got ready to leave. Suddenly, from pretty close, someone called out "Moinaro!"

Then, a green fireball appeared from nowhere and halted hit Zatch. "Zatch! Are you OK?" Zatch nodded. "All I felt was a little push." Then Kiyo saw two small fireballs circling Zatch very slowly. Zatch gave Kiyo a questioning look. The fireballs spun started to spin very fast. There was a flash and Zatch was knocked back. "Now that hurt. Bad."

Kiyo and Zatch then saw their attackers. The teen was around Kiyo's height. His chest was covered in armor and two scratch marks ran diagonally across his face, parallel to each other, like if he was scratched by some two clawed creature. His right arm had a bandage wound around it. His partner was Maka, the mamodo Zatch met at the museum!

"My name is Mosaku." the teen said. "and you have been acquainted with my mamodo, Maka." He put his hand on Maka's head. He nodded. "We have come…to burn your book!" Maka exclaimed.

"Great. Just what we need." Kiyo said. "A mamodo battle."

Maka pulled out a diamond shaped mask and put it on his face. "Now, let it begin."

Now, the battle begins!
