Author's Note: Sorry for the long wait, major writers block. Enjoy.

Jason Garrick, a normal fifteen year old teenager, is traveling to Washington DC with his parents because his dad was invited to a dinner for radio workers around the country. He buried his mind inside his Pendragon book while he took the shuttle flight with his mom out to DC.

"We have arrived in Washington DC. The time is 5:45 P.M. Eastern time. The weather is partly cloudy with the sunset arriving shortly. We hope you enjoyed your delta shuttle flight and hope to see you again in the future. Once again please make sure all your belongings have been located and we hope you fly delta again. Thank you for flying delta."

Jason picked up his things and walked out of the plane. While walking out he heard a little girl say, "Mommy, mommy! Can we gwo see da panda bwears!"

"Yes, yes, maybe tomorrow," replied the mother shoving her child off the plane.

The next day wasn't very interesting for Jason. While Jason's parents went to the dinner he sat in the hotel room and ordered room service.

The next day Jason and his parents were going to the Washington D.C. Zoo.

Jason's POV

I'm so excited! Today I get to go to the zoo! And I get to see the cute little panda cub! Tai Shan! I saw him in a magazine and he is the cutest thing in the world.

At around eleven a.m. we got to the zoo. After buying the tickets we found the safari area where we saw giraffes, lions and all kinds of exotic animals. My mom and I went to sign up to see Mei Ling and Tai Shan while my dad used the lavatory.

We're signed up at eleven so I'll see Tai then. I wonder if he'll be active or boring. Well then again, will Tai ever be boring?

Narrator's POV (Very difficult to write present, sorry)

Jason and his parents walked into the viewing room where little girls squealed at the sight of the pandas. Jason couldn't help it and squealed a long also.

Tai Shan crawled around and stared at Jason. He tilted his head and a few people gasped and took photos.

A little girl put her hand up to the glass and Tai put his paw there and it matched. The photographer for Tai took a picture of it and told the parents she's be featured in her photo album.

Jason gave his mom his camera and went up to the glass. Tai Shan immediately turned his attention away from his fans towards Jason. Tai scratched against the glass wall that held him in and was yelling. They turned on the speakers and you could hear Tai screeching and squealing adorable noises.

After two minutes of that the time was up. Everyone was walking out when Jason's mom forgot his camera inside. Jason went back inside to get it. When he bent down someone said, "I knew you were the one when I saw you, I felt it."

Jason looked around if maybe the photographer was there. The only ones in sight were him, Tai Shan and Mei Ling, the panda mother.

"Jason, over here." said the voice again. Jason took a step back, "Who... who is that?" he spat out.

"Why Tai Shan of course!" said the voice again. Jay darted a look at Tai who waved and spoke, "I'm the one talking!"

"Ah!" yelped Jason. He leaned against the back wall. "Is this some kind of trick? Am I getting punk'd? Can I meet Ashton?"

The panda beat put his paw over his eyes and breathed out heavily, "No, this isn't a prank. I'm not a panda bear!"

Jason put down his arms and walked a couple feet closer. "Your not?" he asked sarcastically.

"Well I am, but I'm not from this world. I'm not a panda bear, but a Panda Mamodo."

"Mawhatda?" asked Jason.

"Mamodo..." corrected Tai, "I'm a demon from another world. I was chosen out of one thousand..."

"Wait a second! You expect me to believe that your from another world? Half the world saw you be born!" Jay shouted.

"Jason, I'm a demon. Magic is what I do..."

"Good point, have any other proof? I still believe this is a spoof."

"Look to your right." said Tai. "There's a fuse box, open it."

"What is this? Mission impossible?" Jay asked sarcastically. Tai rolled his eyes, "Just do it!"

"Fine!" Jason walked over to the fuse box and opened it. There was a black and white book inside glowing more as Jason put his hand closer to it.

It blinded Jason by the time he held it in his hand. "You... are serious..." said Jason slowly.

"Now open the page," continued Tai. "Read it."

Jason flipped through the pages, "Tai, I can't read this. It's all gibber... ish... Tai... Why can I read one part? Oru..."

"Stop!" shouted Tai Shan, "Don't continue that word, let me explain before you ruin your life."

Jason raised his eyebrow, "I'm kidding," said Tai. "As I was saying before, I'm what's called a mamodo. I was number 14 out of 100 to be chosen to come to Earth and fight for the right to become to next King of the Mamodo World. I'm also fighting for Animal Mamodo rights. We're treated differently and I don't think that's fair."

"Your my partner, you can read my spells of sound. And only you, I was meant for greater things then to be behind a glass wall and smile Jason. Can you understand?"

Jason put on a pout, "Yea I understand that you..." then he smiled, "Want me to have the adventure of a life time. Yes Tai Shan, I accept your journey."

An alarm rang. "What happened!" asked Jason.

"The fuse box opening must've triggered it! Quickly, finish the spell and move out of the way." shouted Tai.

Jason dashed across the room and yelled, "Orukio!" Tai Shan blasted a circular blast of sound waves and it shattered the glass. Tai Shan quickly got out and grabbed Jason's hand and they ran.

"Oh no, Jason... what'd you do?" said Jason's mother from outside.

Back with Jay and Tai...

"Where do we go?" said Jason and Tai looking around 180 degrees. "Away from here!" yelled Tai running towards the exit. The gates were being closed but Tai started to crawl through. Jason wanted to run after Tai but wanted to get to his mom. He knew he had to follow Tai. He saw his mom being taken along with other people by guards. She held her arms at when she saw Jason. Jason wiped a tear and was going to run but a guard grabbed his arm.

"Please come with us," he said. "Get off of me!" yelled Jason. The guard pulled harder. He started to drag the struggling Jason away. Tai saw this and jumped off the gate. "Jason yelled out the spell."

Jason kneed the guy in the area and ran. He opened the book and yelled, "The First Spell: ORUKIO!" Tai blasted a purplish circular sound energy and blew up a animal statue. People screamed and even guards ran. A siren was alerted and Jason saw his mom in a car being driven away along with others.

"Jason! Let's go!" said Tai tugging Jason's ankle. They both ran to the gates. "Orukio!" yelled Jason and the the metal bar walls shattered. They ran through into the park. They climbed up a tree and sat on the branches hidden from the leaves. Jason put his head on the trunk and breathed heavily.

"That was fun!" exclaimed Tai.

Jason scorned at him, "Fun? You have to be kidding."

Tai frowned, "Who was that person you kept looking back at?" he asked.

"That was my mom. I never realized a panda bear meant so much." said Jason. Tai shot Jason a mean look, "Well not like that... I just meant... sorry... but that was pretty tight security for a panda. No offense."

"None taken, but your right." said Tai, "That was very strange. Maybe it had something to do with us just walking out the front entrance! Who knows..."

"How are we going to get out of here? I don't think the world is ready for talking animals." Jason mentioned.

"I wish we had more spells, escape spells help a lot..." muttered Tai Shan.

"How do we gain more spells?" asked Jason.

"Once we become more powerful we gain more spells. But if that book," started Tai pointing to his spell book in Jason's hand, "is ever burnt, then I will return to my world. And you will never see me again, nor will I see you."

Jason gasped slightly, and then he smirked honorably. "That won't be happening anytime soon. It won't be happening at all." He looked around. "We'd might as well stay up here until nightfall. That way it'll make an easier getaway."

Tai nodded and they waited... A long journey was ahead...

-----------

In Shelby, Ohio...

Chelsea Kyoto fixed a bowl of cereal for her mamodo Ember Flame. They were watching the news which was on the escape of Tai Shan.

"And there has been some speculation that the last person in the room before Tai Shan disappeared was a person by the name of Jason. No further information has been released. In other news..."

Ember took a bite of her Lucky Charms. She swallowed and said, "Hey Chelsea, isn't the name of your pen-pal Jason?"

"Yea, but what're the chances that it's the same guy?"

I'll update sooner. It's a promise! Cause I had to struggle through this chapter. It wasn't as fun too write. Sorry if it is a bit boring.
