Here's the sixth chapter of Red Pandas. Enjoy.
Jason awoke to the bright sun shooting light into his weak and tender eyes. He slowly rose to smell fish over a fresh burning fire. The book owner was about ten feet from a lake laid up against a tree and saw Tai Shan in a river trying to catch fish.
"Where are we, why does my head hurt so much?" asked Jason weakly rubbing his injured head.
"We're in a park. No worries. I talked to the animals. They'll scare anyone that tries to come within a hundred feet." said Tai.
"You told them to?" asked Jason.
"I scared them to." said Tai as he smirked. He caught another fish with his teeth and tied it up against a stick with two other fish.
"I hope you enjoy. Yellow tail fish are a big delicacy in the Mamodo World. Sorry, I realized you don't grow zou zou's here." said Tai Shan as he sat down across the burning fire from Jason.
"Um, smart one. You made a fire. Fire's here signal people. And if a forest fire starts here, no animal is going scare away the police." mentioned Jason.
"Don't worry about it. The fire isn't strong enough. It's only a small one. Besides, I made sure the angle of sunlight would help cook the fish." said Tai.
"Oh, thanks." said Jason politely.
"No problem." The panda mamodo took the stick from above the fires and handed a fish to Jason.
"Erm, thanks..." said Jason unreassuringly. Jason took a nibble of the fish and chewed it. Surprisingly it tasted well enough considering the rumbling and mashing of Jason's stomach.
"I think we should go back." said Jason.
"Are you serious?" began Tai. Jason was about to fight back.
"Of course we're going back! We're going to beat that team and burn our first book. And let's not forget about saving your mom!" exclaimed Tai.
"Thanks Tai!" said Jason as he brought him into a big hug. Birds began to chirp endlessly and squirrels gathered to Tai and squeaked away. Tai nodded his head and looked at Jason.
"They're coming." he said.
Jason took another bite of the fish and chewed it all up extremely quickly. He'd need his strength for this battle.
The elephant blew his nose extremely loudly and birds soured into the air from the threatening sound.
"Let's give them a welcome." said Jason. Both Tai and Jason climbed up into a tree and watched as Wally and Kilo walked past them to the camp only several feet below them.
Wally bent down at the fire and the unfinished fish. "They were here, and judging by the crisp of the fish and the burn of the wood, we're barely far behind."
Jason smirked, he had Wally on the runs, "Your right, we're right here!" said Jason jumping down from the tree along with Tai.
"Orukio!" said Jason. The sound wave blasted towards Kilo and Wally and sent them packing into the river. "Orukio!" The ground poured into the river and blinded Kilo and Wally.
"You'll have to do better than that." said Wally. "Ikiwa!" shouted Wally.
Both Jason and Tai bounced in different directions, "Orukio!" he said.
"Ikshield!" yelled Wally. Kilo blew out a breeze of ice and he formed a circular shield of ice four feet thick and twenty feet diameter. The ice traveled from his nose and remained there.
Tai ran to Wally expecting to try and grab it from him. Kilo hurled the shield of ice at Tai. Tai wasn't able to dodge it and slammed into a tree.
Jason was really tired. He'd noticed that even though he hadn't moved around much. "Who are you and what do you want! If your part of the government you must know I really didn't take Tai."
"Heh, you don't get it at all do you kid?" asked Wally. "Wakiwaki," he said. Three spiraling blasts of water blasted from Kilo's nose. The elephant began to rage madly. "You won't be here long enough to know anything. I got some great white and black stripes for you. Would you rather wear orange?" taunted Wally.
"We'll see about that dude!" Jason and Tai climbed a tree with lots of branches.
"No way," said Wally. "Ikargo!"
Kilo's tusks turned into solid hard ice that shone extremely bright. Five ice spikes also ascended out of his back and his feet and tail turned to ice also.
"Go Kilo!" said Wally. The elephant charged at the tree and begun to shake it. "Don't hide up there! C'mon, don't you want to see your mom again?"
"Grrr... Don't you see what your doing! It is just wrong! Please stop!" said Tai.
"You don't know the half of it kid." said Wally.
"There's no way your this cruel." yelled Jason, as Kilo charged the tree again. "Stop it please!!!" cried Jason.
"I just want my mom back! I want her in my arms! I want to be with my mom!!!!" he yelled raging with anger. They fell off the tree only falling about six feet hard to the ground. Jason stood up. His far head was pulsing tremendously.
"I said back off!!!!" The spell book shined so hard it even blinded Tai Shan a little bit.
"Go Kilo, take them out for good!" yelled Wally.
"RAH!!!" screamed Jason. His spell book shone even more and a new spell appeared and the blue letters turned black. "OSHIELD!!"
Tai blasted a sound wave that formed a huge X at least twelve feet tall. Kilo hit it hard but Tai blasted it towards him and sent Kilo flying backwards.
"Back off, or do we have to tell you again?" said Jason angry.
"You were never supposed to be this powerful." said Wally calmly. "Please, you must help me."
"And why should I help you jerk." replied Jason.
"Yea!" agreed Tai.
"I can get you and your mom released, even clean your record. I can make all this disappear."
"Your lying, Orukio!" yelled Jason. Tai blasted Wally into a tree.
"Fine, take the spell book. You have to trust me!" he said. He threw the spell book at Jason. Even this calmed down Jason. He was curious to see what he had to say.
"The government. They have an organization. I assume you've heard of area 51?"
"Yea so?" asked Jason.
"The United States government has three mamodo teams working for them. We've all been threatened. My job was to take you in and train you to be like one of us."
"Fight back! You have to power to do so!" cried Jason.
"No, I don't. But you can. I sense great power in you. Please," said Wally.
"Alright fine. What do you want me to do?" asked Jason.
"First after I get your mom released return to New York. Two more mamodos will attempt to bring you in. One of them is a soundwave mamodo. I believe that he only has two spells. The other goes by the nickname of Milordo Z."
"Milordo Z? What a stupid name." mentioned Tai.
"Why are you telling me all of this?" asked Jason.
"Because you made me realize I want to fight this battle for Kilo, not for someone else."
"Fine I believe you. You get your book back once my mom is released." said Jason.
"That is fair enough." said Wally. Jason walked up to Wally and shook his hand.
At the airport, with Kilo waiting somewhere, where an elephant won't alarm people.
"Jason!" said his mom running up to him and giving him a big hug. They held each other tightly and she kissed his cheek.
"This is the man that granted you amnesty." said Jason.
"Thank you so much." she said shaking Wally's hand.
"Flight 415 to New York City is now boarding." said a voice on the intercom. Jason turned around to it and looked back. He handed Wally his book back.
"Well I guess this is goodbye." said Jason.
"Yea, good luck to you in the battle. I hope that we're the final two." said Wally chuckling.
"Yea, and maybe next time we meet it'll be under different circumstances. I hope that we can team up one day Wally." said Jason politely.
"I'll see you in another life man, alright?" asked Wally friendly.
"Yea, definetely." said Jason as they shook hands.
The battle had only just begun.
