Chapter 3 A Battle between Lightning and Ice

The sound of an alarm clock going off woke Davis up as he rose out of his bed and looked around the room he saw Volt still without his mantle turn the alarm on the desk off.

"Morning Davis." Volt smiled.

"Morning Volt." Davis got out of the bed and headed towards the bathroom to take a shower, when he was done and dressed for school he came downstairs to see Gina and Jun on the couch watching tv as Volt was near the door putting on his mantle. "So ready to go?" He asked.

"I sure am Davis." Volt said jumped on Davis' right shoulder and sat on it as the two boys left.

As Davis walked through the gates of the school he saw that everybody was looking at him.

"This is wierd." Davis whispered.

"Yeah wonder what's up with them?" Volt asked.

Davis kept walking through the school til he was in his first class and sat down at his desk with Volt still sitting on his shoulder, but people were still looking at him.

"What's going on?" Davis and Volt wondered.

"Your famous that's what." Yolie said as she came up to Davis and Volt and showed them a newspaper about how they saved the bank yesterday.

"That explains that." Volt said.

"Sure does." Davis said.

Just then all the girls came up to Davis.

"You were so brave!"

"That was amazing!"

"Were you scared?"

"You looked really cute!"

Davis was trying to answer all the girls question's all the while he was smiling as Volt looked at him and was happy for Davis.

"See Davis everyone is starting to see you differently. I can tell you'll have more friends in no time." Volt thought.

Steel was listening to all this in the back and could'nt take it anymore.

"What's wrong with you guys?! Nothing's changed he's still a know it all who think's he's better than everyone else!" Steel shouted standing up and walking towards them.

Volt growled at Steel he was'nt gonna have this jerk make everyone turn their backs to Davis on his watch, he hopped off Davis' shoulder and landed in front of Steel.

"You shut your mouth Steel! Cause I know for a fact Davis is better than you anyway, at least he does'nt beat on others!" Volt shouted.

"You little brat! I guess you didn't learn your lesson the last time, if that's the case I'll be glad to teach you again!" Steel went to punch Volt but Davis got out of his chair and kicked Steel in the gut with his left foot then Volt jumped up and drived his head in Steel's face knocking him down on the ground as Volt landed on a desk beside Davis.

"I dont appreciate you trying to hurt Volt Steel." Davis said frowning at Steel as he got up.

"Why you..!" Steel growled.

"Its sad for you to be taken down so easy by two smaller boys and even sadder that your trying to bet us up for no reason. I call that being pathetic." Volt said.

"Nice." Davis smirked as Volt smiled and they pounded fists with the whole class laughing as Steel growled in anger.

"Ok everyone that enough." Said the teacher as he walked in with everyone calming down. "Davis nice job what you did yesterday." He smiled.

"I have a feeling we're gonna have a good day." Volt said.

"True that." Davis said.

After school Davis, Volt, and Yolie were walking along the streets talking about the day of events that happend at school.

"Wow Davis everyone was all over you." Yolie smiled.

"Yeah I wonder what they really wanted." Davis said.

"Hey what's that suppose to mean?" Yolie asked stopping as did Volt and Davis.

"Oh uh nothing it just.." Davis said but Yolie interupted him.

"Why cant people just start liking you cause they want to like me? What's so bad about that?" Yolie asked raising an eyebrow smiling.

"Well nothing I guess." Davis smiled softly.

"Hey Volt Im gonna let you in on a little secret." Yolie whispered kneeling down to his level as Volt leaned in. "Davis has never been popular so he's new to the whole other people actually wanting to talk to him. Actually its all because of you, ever since you came things are starting to look up for him."

"Well sure that's because he has me now." Volt smiled raising his right fist.

"That's good. Cause between you and me I need you to look after him." Yolie smiled.

"Just leave it to me Yolie." Volt smiled putting his arms in his mantle.

"Hey what are you guys whispering down there?" Davis asked.

Yolie stood up and smiled at Davis with her eyes closed.

"Its top secret." Yolie giggled as she walked past Davis then turned around to look at Davis and Volt as they did the same. "Well I gotta get going so I'll see you guys tomorrow." She waved leaving.

"See ya tomorrow." Davis and Volt said waving at Yolie as she was out of sight as she turned around a corner.

The sun was starting to set making the sky an orange color as Davis and Volt were walking next to a river still on their way home.

"Man today sure was cool." Volt laughed with his arms still in the mantle.

"Yeah.." Davis said looking at the ground then stopped. "Hey Volt."

Volt turned around and looked at Davis.

"Yeah Davis?" Volt asked.

"Listen Volt ever since you came along, and these past few days well..." Davis stopped trying to find the right words as Volt continued to look at him. "I just want to say thanks for comming here and start making my life for the better." Davis smiled greatly at Volt.

"Your quite welcome Davis. Im your friend after all." Volt smiled right back at him.

Volt suddenly got that feeling again like it was warning him on something.

"Frekor!"

Feeling a chill down their spines Davis and Volt jumped down the grassy hill as three ice spike shot at where they were standing. They rolled down the hill and landed on their backs or stomachs when they rose up they saw Mike and Frolaw comming out from under the bridge smiling at them chuckling as Mike had the book opened in his left hand.

"Hey your the guys from yesterday." Davis said.

"Easy kid I dont want any trouble, Im just here for your lizard friend. So just hand him over and I'll be on my way." Mike grinned.

"No way, your now getting your hands on Volt." Davis said getting out the book from his pack with his right hand.

"Yeah Im not going anywhere with you guys." Volt said standing in front of Davis.

"Fine then we do this the hard way." Mike said as the book glowed. "Frekor!"

Frolaw opened his mouth and made ice spikes come from the ground behind Davis and Volt blocking anyway of them escaping.

"Hey your dino friend, where did you find him anyway?" Davis asked.

"I found him and got a lucky break like you did. So now Im gonna milk this for everything its worth." Mike said.

"Is that right?" Davis frowned.

"What kind of milk?" Volt asked.

"Quite." Davis said banging Volt on the head with the book.

"Like chocolate?" Volt asked again.

"Quite." Davis said hitting him again.

"Lowfat?" Volt asked again which made Davis hit him again but he did it twice. "Im just trying to figure out what kind of milk!" Volt whinned as anime tears went down his face. "Is that any reason to keep hitting me on the head?!" Volt jumped up and shouted at Davis waving his arms and legs up and down.

"Ok ok Im sorry." Davis chuckled a little.

"You see when I saw you guys at the bank I figured you were like us. Not excatly like us but in a sense." Mike took off his shades and looked at Davis and Volt who looked back.

"You see this little dino changed my life. Before I was nothing working as a delivery truck driver when I stumbled upon Frolaw here in muching on frozen fish in the back of a freezer, ever since then he's stuck on me like glue following me around everywhere. Then one day I got fired from my job over one little mistake, I was pretty mad til Frolaw here showed me his book and when I read it I saw what he could do."

"Right then I knew here was a chance for me to get some revenge so the guy who fired me got his, then after years of being broke I decided to rob a few places to see what is was like being rich. Being rich is the best." Mike smiled making Davis' let eyebrow twitch. "This dinosaur is the best thing that's happen to me thanks to him I can do anything with me being unbeatable."

"Unbeatable huh? You didn't look so unbeatable at the bank yesterday!" Volt shouted.

"No maybe not but that wont happen again. You see I figured out how this book works, it feeds off things like hate and anger and I got plenty of it. Its been building up inside me for years and now I can let it all out using this book. In fact I dont think having just one is gonna be enough." Mike grinned wickedly.

"He does'nt mean?!" Davis thought in realization.

"And that's why I want him too." Mike pointed at Volt who backed up a little gritting his teeth. "So just hand the lizard over and run along ok kid?" Mike said looking at Davis.

"Just one second." Davis said closing his eyes. "I understand your a dirtbag but still I cant believe someone like you can be so selfish." Davis opened up his eyes and glared hard at Mike. "You've gotten yourself some nice things and such but what about the dinosaur? You said that he was the best thing that's happend to you huh? But yet you dont consider to buy him any clothes or anything nice?"

Mike started laughed at Davis.

"Oh man I thought you had something important to say. Your joking right?" Mike put his right hand on Frolaw's head. "He's just a tool to me who care what he looks like!"

Davis growled and gritted his teeth.

"A tool does'nt need any clothes or anything else to do what it needs to." Mike said.

"That's it creep! Your going down!" Davis roared.

"Im right with you Davis! Lets knock this creeps block off!" Volt shouted getting ready.

"Oh you wanna play that game well fine then!" Mike grinned standing up.

"Volker!" Davis shouted as Volt rolled his eyes back and fired blue lightning from his mouth.

"Frekor!" Mike shouted as Frolaw fired ice spikes from his mouth.

The two attacks collided into each other creating an explosion as smoke went everywhere, Davis and Volt were trying to see where Mike and Frolaw were about to do next.

"Frekor!" They heard Mike shouted as they saw three ice spike comming at them.

"Move!" Davis shouted as he and Volt jumped out the way with Davis landing and skidding on his right foot and left knee as Volt landed and skidded on his feet. "That was fast."

"Iceudo!" Mike shouted.

Frolaw waved his arms forward sending a trail of ice at Davis freezing his left leg and knee to the ground as the ice also froze his left torso and arm making him drop the book.

"Oh no the book!" Davis grunted.

"Davis are you alright?" Volt asked comming up to him.

"See what I mean these are'nt normal animals we're dealing with or talking about here." Mike said as he walked towards them. "I mean come on you know any other normal animals that can shoot out icebergs? Or even talk for that matter? They're monsters, freaks!"

That made Volt's eyes go up as he gasped.

"Little weirdos that will do whatever we want them to do, right?" Mike asked.

Volt turned around and glared at Mike.

"Your the monster!" Volt shouted. "That's enough!" Volt jumped at Mike and punched with his left fist but Mike blocked it using the book with both hands, Volt then moved his right leg back and kicked Mike on the left side of his head.

"Come here you little freak." Mike grabbed Volt on his head head with his right hand as he handed his book to Frolaw who caught it. "And of course your spell book too." Mike bended down and picked up Davis' book with his left hand. "Now lets see what happend when I add your lizard's power to my own." Mike grinned as he opened the book and looked inside. "Hey what the hell, I cant read a word of this."

"I bet you cant read at all!" Volt shouted trying to get out of Mike's hold as he tried pulling his hand off his head using both hands.

"Wait we cant read each others spell books? I guess that's a good thing." Davis smiled a little.

"Wait a sec, Volker that's it is'nt it?" Mike said as Davis' eyes went wide in shock. "Yeah that's it here we go." Mike position Volt in front of Davis. "Volker!" Mike shouted as Davis clutched his eyes shut and covered his face with his right arm, but nothing happended as Volt still tried to get out of Mike's hold.

"Huh?" Davis asked opening his eyes bringing his arm down.

"Hey what's going on? Why is'nt it working?" Mike asked as he looked at Volt "Are you messing with me?" Mike raised Volt up and slammed his head into the ground.

"Volt no!" Davis shouted looking at Volt til he glared at Mike. "Your gonna pay for that!"

"What do you do with a tool that dont work? You throw it out!" Mike shouted as he threw Volt down on his back

"Volt get up and get outta here!" Davis shouted as Volt started to get up. "He's too strong run!"

As Volt got on his hands and knees Mike raised up his right foot and stomped on Volt's head pushing it to the ground.

"I guess I was wrong in thinking this little guy could be useful to me." Mike said as Volt raised his head up and glared at Mike.

"RAAAH!" Volt jumped up and headbutted Mike in the gut hard making him drop Davis' book as Mike landed on his back while Volt landed on his feet.

"Alright Volt!" Davis smiled raising up his right fist. "Way to go pal didn't know you had it in you." Davis said as Volt walked back to him and handed him the book.

"Me neither. I just gave him my best shot." Volt smirked.

"Yeah and what a shot it was." Davis smirked back.

"Lucky shot." Mike growled as he got up. "Gimme that!" Mike snatched the book from Frolaw's hands with his right hand and opened it up. "Alright no more mister nice guy you two are going down." Mike smiled.

"Alright Volt lets focus on the ice and get me outta here." Davis said.

"Right." Volt nodded his head.

"Ok use my anger on this ice." Davis closing his eyes. "I hate this ice, I want it gone." Davis continued to think as the book glowed.

"Frekor!" Mike shouted.

Frolaw opened his mouth and fired ice spikes at Davis and Volt making smoke everywhere.

"Hehe so much for those guys." Mike chuckled.

"Volker!" Blue lightning shot up from over the smoke directly at Mike who grunted as he grabbed Frolaw by the head and threw him up in the air as the attack hit him shocking him as he grunted in pain then fell to the ground on his back. When the smoke cleared Davis was standing on his feet out of the ice holding on to left arm still holding the book with Volt beside him having his arms in his mantle.

"Using that dinosaur as a sheild? You really are lower than a snake are'nt you?" Davis growled as Frolaw got up. "Hey dinosaur, why are you with that creep?" Davis asked Frolaw. "Dont you get sick of him treating you like dirt? Why do you let him use you? Why dont you walk away?"

Frolaw just smiled at Davis.

"You got it all wrong." Frolaw said.

"What?" Davis asked.

"Every mean and rotten thing Mike here does to me only makes me stronger, I use him as much as he uses me. I know he's a crook and a snake but that's just fine with me, in fact the lower and meanier he is the better." Frolaw smirked.

"He's just as twisted as that guy, its like they infected each other or somethin." Davis thought.

"See, well there you have it." Mike chuckled putting his right hand on Frolaw's head. "Ya ready to rock Frolaw?"

"You bet I am Mike, lets vaporize em." Frolaw grinned.

"Dont worry Davis, just keep the courage in your heart strong and we cant lose." Volt said looking at Davis.

"Right Im ready for them Volt." Davis said looking right back at Volt.

"Iceudo!" Mike shouted.

Davis and Volt jumped back but Davis tripped as his feet got frozen making him fall to the ground on his stomach as Volt landed in front of him.

"You ok?" Volt asked keeping his eyes on Mike and Frolaw.

"Im fine dont worry about me." Davis said.

"So what you guys gonna beg for mercy now? Well its too late for that." Mike grinned wickedly.

"I'm starting to get really sick of this guy." Davis said as he stood up grabbing on Volt's right shoulder for balance.

"Sayonara suckers." Mike said.

"Lets wipe that grin right off his face Volt!" Davis said. "Time for the third spell."

"Frekor!" Mike shouted.

Frolaw fired ice spikes at Davis and Volt.

"Liruk!" Davis shouted.

Davis and Volt disappeared in a flash of blue lightning at the ice spikes hit where they were suppose to be, Davis and Volt then reappeared 10 feet away from the ice spikes with Davis' feet not being frozen anymore.

"What?!" Mike and Frolaw shouted in shock.

"The third spell is kinda like teleporting." Davis said as he saw Mike and Frolaw still in shock. "Ok then lets end this. Volker!"

Volt's eyes rolled in the back of his head opened his mouth and fired blue lightning right at Mike and Frolaw shocking them as they then fell on ground on their backs as Volt's eyes came back to view.

Davis and Volt walked towards the two as Davis gave Volt the spell book who held it with both of his arms.

"Hey you ok?" Davis asked as he kneeled down beside Frolaw who opened his eyes looking at him. "Try not to move."

Frolaw then turned to Mike seeing him stand up on his feet rubbing his head with his left hand, Frolaw then looked at his book next to Mike's feet and saw it on fire in blue flames.

"Oh no!" Frolaw shouted as he got up and crawled to the book as he slammed his hands on the book trying to put out the fire.

"He's trying to save the book." Davis whispered. "Hey be careful you'll burn yourself."

"It wont go out!" Frolaw shouted as his body started fade with sparkles around his body.

"W-What's happening to him?" Davis asked in shock as Volt was too as he just stared.

Frolaw kept trying to put out the book but it was'nt working and when the book fully burned and turn to ashes Frolaw completely faded away and disappeared.

"He's gone? What happened to him?" Mike asked. "Frolaw!"

"When the book burned he disappeared with it." Davis said as Volt was still looking at the place Frolaw was at, he suddenly got that strange feeling again but he was too shocked to react about it.

Above them on the bridge was a 14 year old girl named Zoe Orimoto she was wearing a light purple dress that went to her ankles with short puffy sleeves along with long white sleeves under it wearing white boots with a black spell book in her right hand.

On her left was a lavender colored wolf standing on his two legs to Zoe's chest height he was wearing a black and blue two piece scarf around his neck, white pants with a black buckle around his waist there was also some on under his shoulders, wrists, and two around his knees, black gloves and boots with his claws and feet tearing though it showing them.

"It would appear we our victor Zoe." Said the wolf.

"That we do Fango the Strabimon." Zoe said as she turned around and walked away with Fango right behind her.
