Hello, I'm back with another story. This one is paricularly interesting as well.Zeno destroyed the book of a mamodo, but you can't keep an elite down! See what other crazy spells Eshros has. Enjoy Chapter 1 of Second Chances, Eshros' Fight.
Chapter 1. The Unknown World
" I can't believe that a mamodo stopped time for us humans..." said Megumi.
" Sorry about that, but you get to live longer!" said Zatch on the positive side.
" Yeah, your right. There isn't much better than that." said Megumi also on the positive side.
" But still, he have to keep our eyes peeled. Dr. Riddles said the rebel mamodo can take different forms. He could be anyone." said Zatch.
" Right!" said Megumi.
Meanwhile back with Eshros.
" How did I get here!" pondered Eshros. He saw an empty realm with nothing in it. Nothing. However in the far side of the strange area, he saw the face and hands of a clock.
" What's going on!" shouted Eshros, however the only response in return was his own echoing. He walked closer to the strange face of the clock and tried to read it's time. It read 9:45:14:95, along with two sets of numbers under it, 3811435 1185141.
" What the heck do those random numbers mean!" shouted Eshros. He was now very confused and angry.
" Is this a countdown or something?" thought Eshros. He decided to wait until the countdown was over. However, just then another mamodo appeared into the strange world as well. Eshros did not know who he was, he looked exactly like Zatch, and even had the same red spellbook, although it was a bit of a darker red, like blood.Therefor he was not Zatch, nor was he Zeno. He resembled Zatch perfectly, he had blond hair, orange eyes, one line going down each eye, a dark blue cloak going down just past his knees, a golden jewel holding together the cloak, a white bow-ribbon attached to the jewel, sleeveless, he appeared to be six years old, and a pair of blue shoes with white socks cut over them. However, he had a darker version of color, and had a mouth full of razor sharp fangs. He then saw Eshros and spoke:
" Your first time here?" asked the mamodo innocently. He even sounded just like Zatch!
" Yeah... Where are we?" asked Eshros curiously. The second Zatch Look-Alike simply gave an evil grin.
Meanwhile back with Zatch and Megumi. Zatch was riding on a fake horse ride, next to a grocery store.
" Wheee! All right! This is the best!" shouted Zatch. Until the ride ceased moving.
" What happened?... Noooooooooooo!" shouted Zatch, just then Megumi put another quarter in it's coin slot.
" ooooooo... Oh, hey it's moving again!" shouted Zatch.
" HahahahaHAhaha!" shouted Zatch.
Meanwhile back with Eshros and the second look-alike. Apparently waiting for the countdown to end was the objective, because the second Zatch was doing so also. Eshros was sitting on the colorless floor silently, staring at the second Zatch, while the Second Look-Alike appeared to be meditating. Or he was deep in thought. Eshros decided to walk over to the mamodo.
" Ooff!" said Eshros as he realized there was an invisible barrier separating the two.
" What is this now?" asked Eshros. The mamodo slowly opened his eyes.
" The Forcefield." said the mamodo simply.
" Why on earth is there a forcefield!" shouted Eshros. " What do those numbers mean! Why am I here!" shouted Eshros.
" Patience. You'll find out once the countdown reaches 0." explained the mamodo. " 9 hours to go." said the mamodo.
" You expect me to wait for something for 9 hours!" shouted Eshros.
" Yes." said the mamodo calmly. After a long while, Eshros apparently fell asleep.( Anyone would fall asleep with nothing to do while waiting for 9 hours)
DREAM
The countdown has finally reached zero. And the forcefield disappeared.
" Now, you'll finally realize that you can't escape!" shouted the Evil Look-Alike.
" What? Who are you?" asked Eshros.
" My name, is Zatch Bell." said the clearly evil mamodo. " You're trapped here, forever!" shouted the mamodo as he began laughing evilly.
" Why me! " asked Eshros.
" All mamodo who lose come here!" shouted the Second Zatch. " And you, are no exception." said the mamodo.
" No!" shouted Eshros.
" Yelling won't help, no one can hear you." said the mamodo. " Now you will stay here for the rest of your miserable life!" shouted the mamodo.
END DREAM
Only 3 hours to go. The unamed mamodo was still meditating. Until he created a certain powder that he threw at the clock-face. It then stopped ticking, which proved it was dead. Apperantly the mamodo didn't want Eshros to know what was going on.
" What did you do that for you fool?" asked Eshros. The mamodo transfered back to the ground, and began walking to Eshros. To Eshros' surprise, he phased through the forcefield! He then stared straight at Eshros, and uttered one word:
" Zaker!" he then burned Eshros book by creating a small wave of energy in front of his mouth, then lightning came out of the wave.
END SECOND DREAM
Eshros finally woke up for real. He realized he was not asleep for as long as he thought, only two hours went by, dropping the countdown to 7 hours. He turned to the other mamodo, he was sleeping just like him, except he looked as though he fell from the air. He must have fell asleep too, without realizing it. Eshros couldn't think of anything to do, other than take a walk to see how long the forcefield was.
After walking for about two more hours, he finally accepted that it was endless.
" Why-won-won't this forcefield g-go away?" asked Eshros. He then had an idea. He held his ocher colored spellbook and shouted the word:
" Grandsen!" with that said he enplanted his hands into the ground and created a cannon made of earth. He then fired five boulders from the cannon, at the forcefield. As he expected, it collided with the barrier instead of the mamodo, who was still asleep. After all the dust cleared up, he realized that the forcefield didn't have the slightest difference. Not even a small crack. He decided to try another one.
" Groundbai!" shouted Eshros, which created a giant snake composed of boulders, which attacked the forcefield too. No avail. The mamodo suddenly opened both eyes as wide as if he was awake the whole time. And also revealing that he was faking it. He then chuckled.
" Loser. You should conserve your strength instead of wasting it on this unbreakable wall. That's the whole reason it was built!" explained the mamodo. " So no one could fight until the countdown reaches its limit! 5 hours to go." said the mamodo. He then went back to meditating.
" Can't wait to get my hands on you! How dare you call me a loser! I am elite!" shouted Eshros.
" You seem pretty weak to me, after showing me two of your spells." said the mamodo.
" You couldn't see my spells! Your eyes were closed!" shouted Eshros.
" And you think that blocks my vision?" asked the mamodo. Eshros then went for another walk, attempting to kill some time.
Meanwhile back with Zatch and Megumi.
" Yay! They have yellowtail!" shouted Zatch. Zatch and Megumi were at a resturant. The waiter than brought them their yellowtail. Zatch ate it unaturally fast and immediately asked for more. He then ate 47 more helpings. Megumi couldn't believe it. She had no idea that all the mamodo loved fish food too. Zatch then began eating more. (This went on for a while) Eventually the resturant ran out of yellowtail. Megumi was asleep. He woke Megumi and said:
" Megumi, I'm still hungry. Can you take me to another resturant?" asked Zatch, kind of whining.
" Another Resturant!" shouted Megumi. " Zatch, you ate as much as I get in salary for a year! And you're going to get terribly sick eating like that!" explained Megumi.
" What are you talking about? I do it all the time! And now I'm seven! So now I can eat even more!" explained Zatch. Megumi looked very confused.
" Seven! I thought you were king for 1,000 years..." said Megumi.
" Well, unlike the Human World, we age 1 year, after 1,000 years. Humans seem to age 1 year, after 1 year. That seems way too early." said Zatch.
" Wow, that's cool. So mamodo live a lot longer than humans?" asked Megumi curious.
" Yup!" said Zatch. He then noticed something. " Hey, I'm not hungry anymore..." said Zatch puzzled.
" Yes!" whispered Megumi. She planned that to happen because they were talking for a while.
" Now what?" asked Megumi.
" Hmm. I know!" shouted Zatch grabbing Megumi by the arm.
Meanwhile back with the other two mamodo. 3 hours to go, and it will finally begin. Eshros is so curious about what's gonna happen. He wondered what those numbers underneath the countdown ment, he wondered what this place is, he wondered why he was there, and he wondered who that Zatch Look-Alike was. Eshros just realized that no matter how far he walks, he never leaves that spot.
" This place is crazy." whispered Eshros to himself. 3811435 1185141... What could that mean. Is it a secret code? Eshros thought.
Eshros finally gave up, and started waiting patiently. And just like that it was only 1 hour left! Eshros couldn't wait for some answers.
There you go. The biggest cliff hanger I made yet. The next chapter will reveal everything, and it'll be here soon. R&R Please.
