Sorry for the long update. I can't promise a sooner update as I haven't gotten lots of time.
Tiko sat in front of the television and sang, "Animal crackers in my soup..."
Tyler was in Travis's room with his girlfriend making out on his bed. Travis walked in and immediately coughed.
"Oh c'mon!" he stated, "Not on my bed!"
Tyler's girlfriend Kimmi wiped her lips and they both got up and walked out of the room. Tyler punched Travis on the shoulder on the way out. Travis rolled his eyes and went to fixed his sheets.
"And they're love stains on my sheets!!" shouted Travis.
"Shut up Travis!" yelled Tyler.
Travis brought the sheets downstairs and Tiko got up from the TV and followed him.
"Hey Travis," he said.
"Hi Tiko," replied Travis.
"Uhh... What's up?"
"Nothing, just got to wash this stuff. Need anything?"
"Well actually... now that you mention it..."
"Ok Tiko," Travis stopped walking and looked at Tiko. "What do you want?"
"Ok fine, the superwaiter5000! He's comes with deluxe mega turbo boosters that..."
Travis continued walking and ignored Tiko's fast talk.
He put the laundry in the machine and pressed the button. "Tiko, I understand! Your not getting it."
"PLEASEEEEEE," begged Tiko.
"I told you already, NO!" shouted back Travis.
Tiko grabbed Travis's leg and held on tight. "Your not getting it Tiko!!"
Travis jumped for the garage door and got on his bike. He opened the garage and biked out while closing it behind him. He biked hard and Tiko ran behind him.
"AHH!!"
Tiko jumped on the back of Travis and held on. Travis smiled and continued onwards. The wind blew back their hair and a fly hit Tiko's mouth.
"Ow!!!" yelped Tiko and he fell off the bike hitting the side of the road. Travis stopped the bike and it made a screeching sound.
"Teke!" shouted Travis as he hopped off the bike. He skidding down the hill and helped Tiko up.
"That really hurt... whoa..." Tiko looked around and saw burned marks and icy grass in a few places. (A/N- They're at the site where Zatch fought Reycom).
"Travis, you'd better take a look at this." said Tiko egging Travis to come.
Travis hopped off his bike and skid down the hill. "Amazing... grass..."
Tiko sighed, "No look closer."
Travis sighed, "Wow, that's really something Teke." he said sarcastically.
"Keep looking."
"Wow that's really something Teke..."
"Goodness, for heavens sake, do you not see the scorch marks!!"
Travis paused, "Uh... no. There friggin gone with the wind..."
"Well they're there." replied Tiko sarcastically. Many people were at the river.
"Scorch marks aren't really my thing." said a mamodo behind them. They turned around to see Soma and Kouhiru. Soma was twiddling a bone in between his fingers.
"Eww..." remarked Tiko. Travis cringed and took out his spellbook. "Wanna fight or are you just going to stand there?" said Travis.
"I thought you'd never ask. Hello Tiko. I didn't think you'd make it this long. Peter was supposed to destroy you." said Soma.
"Yea? Well I thought I'd stick around." replied Tiko.
"You shouldn't have." said Soma. He then smirked.
"Barudesu!" shouted Kouhiru
Bones began to erupt from the ground. Tiko shoved Travis out of the way. They both got up.
"What do you want Soma?" asked Tiko.
"What a stupid question, your book of course." replied Soma. "Give here or I won't hurt your book owner." said Soma.
"Yea, you have fun with that. Shakai!"
Soma and Kouhiru jumped out of the way. "You gotta do better than that," taunted Soma. Travis looked at all the people in fear.
"Tiko, we have to throw them off. Follow me." said Travis. Travis jumped on his bike and biked away. He biked into the city. They were closely being followed by Soma and Kouhiru in their car. Kouhiru tried to ram into Travis but he turned to the right.
"Travis!! Isn't this putting more people in danger!!" yelled Tiko on the bike.
"Watch this." said Travis with a smirk. "Tiko, turn around, but hold on." Tiko carefully maneuvered his body. His feet were wrapped tight around Travis's stomach. He put his arms out.
Soma didn't see this coming. "Ut oh."
"Fashield!!" yelled Travis.
The car crashed directly into the shield totaling it. As the biked away and got farther Tiko saw bones crush the shield. They were far though by then.
Travis biked into another park this one with trees and sat on a bench.
"I'm beat. I hope they're...no more... enemies." said Travis panting in between his breaths.
"You didn't think we'd lose that easy did you?" asked a voice behind Travis. Travis jumped to his ready position to see Soma and Kouhiru. They were covered up in burises and bleeding in a few places.
"You made me angry. Now I'm going to return the favor."
"Baruk." Soma shot sharp bones at Travis. "Tiko!!" Tiko looked over and saw Soma and Kouhiru attacking Travis.
Tiko ran crazily towards Soma and tackled him to the ground getting in four good punches before Kouhiru yelled, "Baruk" Tiko was thrown backwards next to Travis.
"C'mon buddy. We can take these guys." Travis sturggled up.
"Now Tiko go!" Travis threw Tiko up in the air and he pin dived at Soma. He spun and Travis yelled, "Shakai!" and a spiraling fire blast was sent at Soma and Kouhiru from up above.
"Barushield," yelled Kouhiru.
"No!" said Travis. Tiko stood 15 feet away from Travis more closely to Soma. When the smoke cleared a seoshi like dome bone shield was blocking and protecting Soma.
"Grr..." growled Tiko.
"You guy's are pathetic." said Soma making the bone shield retract back into the ground.
Kouhiru was no wear to be seen.
"Where'd your partner go? To afraid to get beat Soma?" said Travis regaining hope.
"No, he's right there." said Soma pointing behind Travis. Travis turned around and saw Kouhiru holding a little seven year old girl with a knife to her neck.
"Give me the book," said Kouhiru calmly.
"No please," begged Travis.
Kouhiru made a small cut on the girl's cheek. Her mother stood twenty feet away begging for him to let her go.
"Let her Kouhiru!" screamed Travis.
"No," he said cutting the other girls cheek.
Travis became filled with rage. Emotions built up and he didn't want to back down. The orange book began to glow with extreme intensity.
"Travis, read the spell!" shouted Tiko. Travis flipped to the new page.
"The third spell: TAROKAI!!!" screamed Travis. Tiko pounded his fists into the ground. The knife in Kouhiru's hand melted and Kouhiru screamed from the heat. The ground below him began to melt. Travis ran over and grabbed the girl.
"Get as far away from here as you can." said Travis.
"Thank you so much." said the woman.
Travis ran back over. Soma was panicking a little bit but pretended to remain calm. "What a stupid little spell."
"Check this. Shakai!" yelled Travis towards Kouhiru who had the spell book.
Travis and Tiko had won. Now that Kouhiru was defenseless and he was stuck to the ground he couldn't protect himself. It was too good to be true.
"Barudesu." said Kouhiru. The bones spikes from the ground blocked the fire blast and destroyed the sticky ground underneath. "No..." said Travis defeated. They'd blocked everyone of their attacks and Travis didn't have enough strength to cast another spell.
Kouhiru got up laughing manaically. "Baruk." he said. Soma shot bones at both Tiko and Travis. Instead of hitting them dead on the bones got in their clothes and sent then flying into a tree. Travis couldn't move. The book was on the floor. They were defeated.
"Any last words?" asked Soma.
"None I can say in front of Tiko." said Travis.
"Bar..." began Kouhiru.
Travis closed his eyes. Tiko was crying. "Tiko! I won't let them beat you!" Travis struggled and struggled but he couldn't get out.
"Kyoga." said a voice. Two blurs rushed by Travis and Soma at super speed and the book disappeared out of nowhere.
"Huh? What's going on? How can you cast a spell?" demaded Soma.
"It wasn't... yea, what now!" said Travis going along with it. Travis had just been touched by an angel.
"Kyondo."said the voices again and Soma began to developed whipped scratches on him. The blurs were attacking him. They then revealed themselves but only for a second. They looked like two cheetah cubs.
"Ggrrrrr." Soma was very angry.
"Baruk!" yelled Kouhiru. The bones shot at the blurs.
"Kyshield" said one of the book owners who was an Japanese girl along with the other book owner. A giant cheetah spot that was ten feet tall appeared in front of one of the cheetahs.
"Go Kylee!" yelled one of the book owners. "Kyondo!"
The bones made an impact on the shield and fur was everywhere. It was hard to pay attention to the battle. Travis slipped out of his shirt. He ran over to Tiko. He could hear Soma screaming from pain.
When the fur disappeared Soma was lying on the ground and Kouhiru was astonished. This wasn't exactly how they'd planned it.
Kouhiru grabbed Soma and ran.
"We'll destroy you next time!" yelled the bookowners in unison. They walked over to to the shirtless Travis and Tiko. "I believe this is yours." said one of the bookowners.
Travis took it slowly. "Why are you helping us?"
"There are good mamodo in the battle too Travis. Until next time." said the book owner. The bookowners and mamodos disappeared into blurs and were gone. Travis looked down at his spell book and saw a postit that said.
We'll always be there in a flash. Good luck Travis and Tiko. From your mamodo friends Kylee and Kira and bookowners, Mei Ling and Lei Ming.
Travis looked at the sky and then down at Tiko who was processing the whole battle.
"This is only the beginning..." said Tiko. "Isn't it?"
"Yea Teke, only the beginning."
