Chapter Four – The First Battle!
"Here they are! I knew I smelled weak mamodo in here." The gray mamodo said.
"Who are you? What do you want with us?" Dylan asked, defensive of his friends.
"Shut him up, John!" The mamodo said.
"Okay! Bujee!" The human figure, John said.
The mamodo's eyes glowed, and he flew toward Jacob with his now-glowing claws!
"Ahh!" Jacob yelled as he barley avoided the attack.
Dylan pulled out the orange book and it opened. He still couldn't read the writing.
'All spells are powered by the book owner's heart. The more you believe, the more powerful the spell!' Jacob's words echoed in his mind.
"Bujee!" John called out again.
This time, the mamodo hit Jacob, clawing his chest! After seeing this, Dylan became angry. He looked back down at the book, and suddenly, a line made sense to him!
'I can read it! The first spell: P-Py-Pymara!' He thought to himself, confident.
Dylan called out, "Pymara!"
Then, right after Dylan called out the spell, Jacob's hands aimed at the gray mamodo and shot fire at him! The fire flew straight towards the gray mamodo
They gray mamodo winced at the burn that came from Jacob's hands.
"Whoa! Let me try! Wi-Win-Winfulc?" Victor struggled, "Winfulc!"
Tanjit's hands shot out a huge gust of wind, blowing back the gray mamodo.
"Do something, you useless idiot!" The mamodo barked at it's master.
"Okay, Domese, we'll hit them with spell number two: Bujice!" John yelled.
Suddenly, the sharp claws on Domese gained an icy coating!
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Domese laughed as he flew towards Jacob with his now-icy claws.
With a "slash" Jacob was hit and a block of ice froze right around him!
"Jacob!" Dylan yelled, "I don't know if you can hear me but, Pymara!"
Jacob's frozen hands glowed orange, and soon caught on fire, melting the ice!
"Err! Hit the windy one with Bujee!" John commanded.
As Domese's claws began charging their energy, Jacob ran up some nearby stairs – up to a walking bridge.
"Winfulc!" Victor called out.
The burst of wind hit Domese and knocked him back near John.
Meanwhile, Jacob reached the top of the bridge. He could easily see the fight by looking down. But if he looked straight, he saw the way to victory: a clothesline hanging across the street, parallel to the bridge! He jumped to the line, swinging this way and that.
"Dylan, now!" Jacob called down.
"Okay! Pymara!" Dylan called up.
Jacob jumped down, towards John, and shot fire downwards! It hit the light gray mamodo book John was holding. It fell to the road, and caught on fire! It wasn't red fire like the kind that came out of Jacob's hands, it was blue fire! Domese slowly began disappearing and yelling madly. Soon, the book had burned completely, and caused Domese to vanish!
"Darn it!" John said, and ran away from the group.
"We won!" Jacob said, running towards Dylan, and tackled him to the ground, just like when they had first met.
"Great job, man!" Victor praised Tanjit.
"Victor, did you see my power? I can make some strong winds!" Tanjit was very excited.
"Yeah, and mine! I can make fire! Out of my hands!" Jacob was excited, as well.
Though they were all excited from winning the battle, they were also all very tired.
"Let's go home. I need some sleep!" Victor laughed.
He turned to walk home, Jacob and Dylan following, bragging about their new-found powers. Dylan looked at his four friends. This was his family now. And though he was very confident that Jacob could become the Mamodo king, he hated the thought of Jacob not being around – and he had just met the boy yesterday! Dylan hurried forward to rejoin his friends – his family.
