Hello, I'm back once again. This time we go deeper into the battle with Nega-Zatch and Eshros. Meanwhile, Zatch meets an unexpected mamodo that he has to battle. Two battles in one chapter ought to be good! Enjoy, Chapter 3 of Second Chances, Eshros' Fight.
Chapter 3. Nega-Zatch; The Malevolent King
Eshros was about to create a finishing blow on Nega-Zatch, however, Nega-Zatch was invincible at the time with his Rauzaruk spell. So Nega-Zatch succeeded in knocking Eshros ten feet in the air with a charged electric punch. Eshros started to claw Nega-Zatch, but Nega-Zatch dodged each nail.
" Not bad..." said Eshros.
" Well, you may be weak... but you're definetely determined." said Nega-Zatch. Eshros was angered by that remark.
" How dare you! You think I'm weak! Than eat this! Groundam! " shouted Eshros, as he created two parrallel rectangles next to Nega-Zatch. They then started to smash into him. However Nega-Zatch simply took one step back and they missed him.
" Is that all you've got?" asked Nega-Zatch. The Rauzaruk then faded. Nega-Zatch didn't show any sign of alarm.
" Looks like you're vulnerable again!" shouted Eshros changing into his darker form once more. "Good thing my spell is permanent until the end!" Eshros added in.
" Is that so..." said Nega-Zatch. " Jikerdor! " shouted Nega-Zatch, which created a slow-moving ball of darkness that got smaller with each approach. It headed straight for Eshros, until his body began to glow as he became magnetized.
" Ha! Joke's on you! There's no metal here!" said Eshros, his body still glowing. Nega-Zatch gave an evil chuckle. He then reached into his cloak and pulled out a re-tractable metal rod. He threw it hard into the ground, as Eshros forcibly flew straight onto it.
" No! How did you..." said Eshros. " Nothing can pierce through my armor!" shouted Eshros struggling to break free. Nega-Zatch gave an evil grin.
" I'm way stronger than the original Zatch. Maybe he was just too weak!" explained Eshros. Eshros ignored him. Nega-Zatch went over to where Eshros dropped his book, picked it up, and closed it. Eshros armor disappeared.
" Permanent, huh?" said Nega-Zatch. He then closed his own book and Eshros fell to the ground.
" No... I can't believe that I lost twice..." said Eshros as he waited for Nega-Zatch to burn his book. However, much to his surprise, Nega-Zatch threw it back to him.
" I-I don't understand." said Eshros.
" Don't mistake ruthlessness for generosity. I only did it because I want to see what else you've got!" explained Nega-Zatch.
" Well, your about to get your wish! Groundga Cobra! " shouted Eshros which created a gigantic cobra-like creature made from stone.
" I told you I was elite! I'm invincible!" shouted Eshros. Nega-Zatch simply rolled his eyes. He then sidestepped the creature, but he underestimated Eshros. One of the creature's fangs pierced his left side. The cobra then vanished. Nega-Zatch wasn't injured but the fang pierced through the side of his cloak, exposing his dark grey tanktop.
" Who are you! You're exactly like Zatch, only evil!" shouted Eshros.
" Duh." said Nega-Zatch simply. " This is too easy. you're one of the weakest mamodo I've fought yet." said Nega-Zatch.
" We'll see about that..." muttered Eshros.
Meanwhile with Zatch and Megumi.
" Megumi, I'm hot!" complained Zatch. Megumi advised him to take off his cloak. But Zatch said he was too hot to carry it around. Just then out of nowhere, a strange looking sasquatch-like mamodo pounced on Zatch. Zatch screamed and threw it off him. It landed on it's feet though. It's partner than showed up. It was Fredo and Furigaro. Unfortunately, Zatch did not know either of them.
" Who are you two?" asked Zatch. He then noticed Fredo was holding a sea-blue spellbook.
" Ganzu Gikor! " shouted Fredo which caused Furigaro to shoot multiple shards of ice from his mouth, straight toward Zatch. Zatch jumped out of the way at the last second though.
" Yay!" shouted Zatch. He ran over to one of the icicles that hit the ground and felt it.
" Ah... That's much better! Thanks." said Zatch to the two.
" Zatch look out!" shouted Megumi as she grabbed him out of the way. " Zaker! " shouted Megumi, which caused Zatch to shoot the same lightning bolt from his mouth.
" Raja Freezudo! " shouted Fredo, which caused Furigaro to create an icy mist from his mouth that froze the lightning bolt before their very eyes. Zatch was even more excited.
" That's so cool! What else can you do?" asked Zatch. Fredo scowled.
" Why aren't you afraid!" asked Fredo.
" You may be a mamodo, but you came just in time!" explained Zatch.
" Zatch, we have to fight them!" said Megumi.
" Ooohhhh... Okay! I fought someone similar to him before." said Zatch.
FLASHBACK
Zatch and Kiyo were fighting Reycom and Hosokawa.
" It's over, creep. You're going doooowwwwnnn!" shouted Kiyo. Hosokawa drops Reycom and he lands on his feet.
" I'm with you, Kiyo. Let's knock this blockhead's block off!" shouted Zatch.
" Okay." said Kiyo.
" Ha! Okay, you wanna play that game? Fine.
" Zaker! " shouted Kiyo, Zatch then shot lightning from his mouth.
" Gikor! " shouted Hosokawa, causing Reycom to shoot a few ice shards from his mouth. The two colided. Kiyo was trying to see through the smoke, but then...
" Gikor! " Hosokawa activated the spell again.
" Huh?" said Kiyo. He grabbed Zatch and threw him out of the way.
" Watch out!" shouted Kiyo. The ice shards barely missed them. " That was fast. I can't do it that fast." Kiyo said to himself. Just then...
" Freezudo! " shouted Hosokawa, causing Reycom to create an icy mist that freezed Kiyo's arm.
END FLASHBACK
" I miss Kiyo..." said Zatch.
" Ganzu Gikor! " shouted Fredo, causing the ice shards to attack again. Unfortunately, Zatch was dazed.
" Rashield! " shouted Megumi. Which caused Zatch to create the wall-like shield once more. It then reflected the attack back at Furigaro.
" Scape Gishield! " shouted Fredo, which created a capsule-like shield around the two created from ice. The ice shards collided with the shield as both spells broke to pieces.
" Let's finish this. Bao Zakeruga! " shouted Megumi, which caused a giant japanese dragon from lightning from Zatch's mouth. Fredo stared at it in shock, same with Furigaro. Fredo scowled again.
" This may not work, but I've got to try! Lagikor Fang! " shouted Fredo, which made Furigaro breathe an icy mist, just then, a gigantic wolf made from ice began to rise from beneath Megumi.
" What? No!" shouted Megumi. Just then the Bao Zakeruga went to attack the wolf, thus biting it and shattering it into pieces before it hit Megumi.
" That was close..." said Megumi.
" Gee... This is gonna be harder than I thought." said Zatch.
Meanwhile back with Nega-Zatch and Eshros.
" Give it up." said Nega-Zatch.
" No-Never!" shouted Eshros.
" Suit youself. Bao Zakeruga! " shouted Nega-Zatch, which created a gigantic japanese dragon composed of dark lightning. It headed straight for Eshros. Eshros knew he had no spell great enough to counter that attack, and realized he was doomed.
All right. The fight still rages on between the two. And now, the fight with Zatch and Furigaro has begun! For even more of the battle, wait until Chapter 4. Coming Soon!
