Chapter 4. Eshros' Final Spell; Dosuder Groundon!

The dark Bao Zakeruga was about to destroy Eshros, Eshros had to think of a way to survive, and fast! But none of his spells were powerful enough. He then had a desperate idea. He threw his book two yards to his right. And took the attack. He was severely injured after taking one of the strongest spells of the entire Mamodo World. But he planned that would happen. He took the attack on purpose, and threw his spellbook on purpose, so that way he would get hurt, but the book wouldn't burn. Nega-Zatch seemed to understand his strategy.

" Interesting. But seeing you're so badly hurt now, you'll hardly be able to attack nor defend." said Nega-Zatch. And he was possibly right. Not many mamodo would be able to still fight back after being attacked by the Bao Zakeruga spell. But Eshros was elite.

" I wo-won't give up!" shouted Eshros trying to stand up. Nega-Zatch was slightly impressed with his determination.

" So, you're still trying to fight, even though there's no hope of winning?" said Nega-Zatch.

" R-right..." said Eshros standing up.

" Loser." said Nega-Zatch. He kneed Eshros hard, and Eshros fell to the ground clutching his aching stomach. " It's obvious you're going to lose." said Nega-Zatch. " I'm practically untouched, and you're almost dead." said Nega-Zatch.

" J-just tell me one th-thing." said Eshros. Nega-Zatch turned his eye to him.

" What is it?" said Nega-Zatch.

" Before you c-came here, who w-was you-your human partner?" asked Eshros. Nega-Zatch gave another evil grin.

" Who do you think?" asked Nega-Zatch.

" Wa-was it a smart male human with dark brown hair?" asked Eshros.

" Of course not. It was, Megumi." said Nega-Zatch.

" What!" shouted Eshros. Nega-Zatch gave yet another evil grin.

Meanwhile with Zatch and Furigaro. Megumi fell to the ground, by the power from within the Bao Zakeruga stole from her.

" Looks like your human partner is down for the count!" shouted Fredo. " Gikor Garugo! " shouted Fredo causing Furigaro to shoot icicles beneath the ground. One of the icicles pierced right through the side of Zatch's cloak, exposing his light grey tanktop.

" Ooowwww!" shouted Zatch. The rest of the icicles missed him because he was too small.

" If only I had more spells..." said Zatch to himself.

" I think we have enough to beat these two." said Megumi.

" Okay!" shouted Zatch.

" Zaker! " shouted Megumi, causing Zatch to shoot the lightning bolt from his mouth again.

" Gishield! " shouted Fredo, which created a frontal shield made from ice. The attack hit the shield and disappeared.(Fredo used the simpler shield to conserve energy)

" Wow. We're definetely evenly matched." said Megumi.

Meanwhile with Eshros and Nega-Zatch.

" What do you mean? The real Zatch has that partner!" shouted Eshros.

" The Mirror Megumi." said Nega-Zatch. " Mirror Mamodo have the same partners as their original counterparts." said Nega-Zatch. " Even if they're merely a shadow of their former selves." added in Nega-Zatch.

" How many " Mirror Mamodo " are there?" asked Eshros. Nega-Zatch thought for a moment, deciding whether he should tell him or not.

" If it's a final request, then I'll tell you. Three." said Nega-Zatch.

" Just three?" asked Eshros.

" Three." repeated Nega-Zatch.

" And I got stuck with one of them!" asked Eshros.

" Yeah. Pretty unlucky, huh?" said Nega-Zatch.

" If you're the negative Zatch, than who are the other negatives?" asked Eshros. Nega-Zatch glew a blood-red aura.

" I'll never tell you!" shouted Nega-Zatch. He made an assault on Eshros. Eshros dodged though, surprising Nega-Zatch. He had all that time in the world to heal, and it worked.

" Groundgaruk! " shouted Eshros, creating his rock armor once more.

" Apparenlty, you're running out of spells." said Nega-Zatch.

" Shut up!" shouted Eshros. " This spell is all I need to finish you!" shouted Eshros.

" That armor is so useless. It doesn't even do anything." said Nega-Zatch.

" It is not useless! Not only is it invincible, but it also amplifies all of my spells!" explained Eshros. " For example, Grandsen! " shouted Eshros, which created the same cannon that shot boulders, although they were ten times bigger.

" Gigano Zaker! " shouted Nega-Zatch which created a much larger version of the dark Zaker spell. It headed for the boulders, and they all broke to pieces.

" That does it! I'm going to fight you with everything I've got!" shouted Eshros.

" Finally some effort from you." said Nega-Zatch. Eshros changed to his darker form and made a full on assault on Nega-Zatch. Nega-Zatch still kept dodging.

" Face it. You're unconvincing as an "elite" mamodo. And you know it." said Nega-Zatch. Eshros thought for a second. And realized that he was right.

" Look at yourself!" said Nega-Zatch, forcing Eshros hard into the shiny floor. Eshros did. " Impatient, worthless, desperate. Does that sound like an elite to you?" shouted Nega-Zatch. Eshros changed back to his boy-like form. " All you did to hurt me so far, is cut my side, and you couldn't even manage to do that right!" shouted Nega-Zatch. " A weak mamodo trying to prove they're the greatest. Just a lie! You make me sick!" shouted Nega-Zatch.

" ..." Eshros was silent.

" In fact, I change my mind! I'm burning your book now, so I can get this over with!" shouted Nega-Zatch, aiming at the ocher book in Eshros hand. " Nothing but lousy trash!" shouted Nega-Zatch. Eshros gritted his teeth and clutched his fists.

" You may be right... I may not be the greatest mamodo, but at least I never give up!" shouted Eshros glowing an ocher aura.

" Groundbao! " shouted Eshros, causing the ground to explode beneath Nega-Zatch. Every explosion missed.

" Get away from me! Get away!" shouted Eshros. His aura glowing brighter. Nega-Zatch still kept slowly walking toward Eshros.

" AAAHHHH! Groundam! Grandsen! Claydo! Groundgarudo! Groundbao! Grancrag! Groundbai! Groundga Cobra! " shouted Eshros, summoning all of his attack spells to impact on Nega-Zatch. Every single attack missed. Eshros couldn't believe this. He then realized he was no match for this mamodo. His ocher spellbook began glowing extremely bright. Eshros turned to the final page, and knew what to do.
" Come on! Is that all? Why'd I ever have to get stuck fighting you?" said Nega-Zatch, still walking to Eshros.

" This isn't over... I've got one more trick up my sleeve!" shouted Eshros. Nega-Zatch smirked.

" Say goodbye to your chances of winning! Dosuder Groundon! " shouted Eshros. The book was glowing, but nothing happened. Eshros looked everywhere, nothing has changed. Nega-Zatch made an evil laugh.

" You weakling! Nothing's happened! Is that your final spell! Pathetic!" shouted Nega-Zatch. Eshros lost all hope. It was the end. His new, and final spell, had been a rip-off. Eshros started to gain a little hope though, because the book was still glowing. Something had to be happening, even if it was invisible. Just then, the floor began to crack. Nega-Zatch noticed, and halted. It kept on cracking. Until eventually, the ground began to break apart. Completely. The pieces of the ground then began to float in the air, getting higher with each passing second. Eshros jumped onto one of the floating pieces of the ground of this strange world. Nega-Zatch jumped up and flew. Eshros didn't believe this.

" You can fly?" asked Eshros. Nega-Zatch simply scowled.

" What did you do!" shouted Nega-Zatch. Nega-Zatch looked down and saw the sky of the Human World.

" I-I don't know. This is a new spell." replied Eshros. Nega-Zatch gritted his teeth.
" That's just great. Your silly spell created an earthquake that shattered the ground!" shouted Nega-Zatch.

" Hey! it's not my fault! Maybe if you weren't so competetive, I would've waited until I won." shouted Eshros.

" What are you talking about! You were never going to win. In fact, neither of us can claim the prize if we can't stay on the ground!" shouted Nega-Zatch.

" Good. Serves you right!" shouted Eshros. Nega-Zatch glared at him angrily.

" You idiot! The prize, is that you get to stay back on the Human World for a second chance!" shouted Nega-Zatch.

" What?..." asked Eshros regretfully.

" There is a price though. You simply start over with your spells. Other than that, it's true!" shouted Nega-Zatch. " Since I'm still undefeated, I'll just burn your book and stay undefeated! Deal?" said Nega-Zatch, smirking.

" No way! I will never let you win!" shouted Nega-Zatch.
" Then we stay here forever." said Nega-Zatch with his arms crossed. Eshros thought for a moment.
" Fine. I suppose if we work togeth-..."

" Forget it!" shouted Nega-Zatch, cutting him off.

" Then we stay here forever." said Eshros smirking. Nega-Zatch growled. He thought for at least a few minutes.

" Never." said Nega-Zatch. He jumped onto the rock Eshros was on and started punching him. Eshros was able to block a few punches, but Nega-Zatch was too fast.
" I'll just burn your book, and get on with my life!" shouted Nega-Zatch, as he started to kick Eshros.

" Listen. I think I have he ability to manipulate these chunks of Earth. But you have to stop fighting for at least a second!" shouted Eshros. Nega-Zatch protested, but eventually believed him. Eshros began turning his hands to the floating chunks of ground. They slowly lowered themselves, but too slow. Eshros would never have enough power to completely lower every rock to it's right place.

" I know. Try closing the book to destroy the spell. I it always works." said Nega-Zatch, smirking. Eshros didn't believe him at first, but after rethinking it, did so. After closing the book, the entire floor disappeared, along with the floating chunks. Nega-Zatch made the evil laugh he did earlier.

" You fell for it!" shouted Nega-Zatch. Eshros glared at him as he began to fall into the sky of the Human World. Nega-Zatch simply flew over to the face of the strange clock. The face suddenly turned into a large circular vortex. Nega-Zatch turned to Eshros and smirked.

" You have lost." said Nega-Zatch just before he entered the vortex. It then completely closed itself. Eshros gritted his teeth and shut his eyes, awaiting his iminant doom. Just then he had an idea.

" Claydo! " shouted Eshros, which created the stretchy susbstance he did earlier. It wrapped itself around him, and he was safe.
" That was too close." said Eshros to himself. Just then, he realized he was beginning to disappear!

" What? No! Impossible!" shouted Eshros. He then realized that he was able to save himself, but not his book. Eshros could hardly believe this. He then clutched his fists, and knew that someday, that Zatch imposter would lose. He then completely disappeared back to the Mamodo World.

Sorry Eshros fans, I just couldn't keep him there. Don't worry though, every present mamodo will be in my stories, and with new spells! R&R Please. Last chapter will be here soon!
