Chapter Five – More Plane Problems!
"Dylan I've got something to tell you." Victor started in the morning, while cooking a breakfast of Bacon.
"Sure, man. What is it?" Dylan asked, have asleep, and half entranced by the smell of the bacon cooking – he knew that Victor had some amazing cooking skills.
"Well…you know that contest I won?" Victor asked.
"The one that got you the laptop?" Dylan remembered.
"That's the one! Well I also won 3 first-class tickets to anywhere in the world. I was thinking – since there isn't much to do here, I could trade in the tickets for four coach tickets to Tokyo…we could all go back to your place! What do you say?"
"Wow. Well you do have a point – there is nothing to do here." Dylan agreed, "I suppose we could go back to my place. You haven't been over to Japan since you were…"
"Six years old!" Victor said, flipping a strip of bacon.
"Man, now I can't wait! When do we leave?" Dylan asked.
Victor laughed nervously, "Well…the tickets expire the day after tomorrow. We'll have to go tomorrow…"
"Oh wow. Good thing I haven't unpacked yet! Hahaha" Dylan laughed.
"Hey I wonder if there are any mamodo in Tokyo?" said Victor, moving the bacon to a plate.
"Well, if not…there's about to be - Tanjit and Jacob!" Dylan stated.
Jacob walked in with a yawn. He had been very tired the night before because of the big battle.
"Tanjit and Jacob what?" he asked.
"We're all going over to my home in Japan! Isn't that great?" Dylan said, excited.
"Your home?!?! Whoa! I bet your home is full of all kinds of cool stuff! Like lots of video games and a big video game that you can play on the V.T. like Victor has in his room here! And I can't wait to ride on the big metal bird thingy again! Hopefully they wont have to land it this time! And maybe…" Jacob continued talking excitingly.
"That's T.V. Jacob. Not V.T." Dylan corrected.
"Oh! Well I'm sure you've got one of those, too!" Jacob smiled to himself, fantasizing about the amazing home his master must own.
The Next Day:
Dylan and Victor stood in a line at the airport. Jacob and Tanjit were sitting on a bench, playing on Victor's laptop. They were playing some kind of puzzling video game that Victor had downloaded.
"Come on, guys! Our plane leaves in like one minute!" Dylan commanded.
Jacob closed the laptop and handed it to Tanjit. When the mamodo friends met up with their partners, Tanjit handed Victor his computer, and they walked to the plane.
On the plane, Dylan studied the book.
"Hey Jacob?" Dylan asked.
"Yeah?" Jacob asked.
"Why can I only read this one orange line?" Dylan asked.
"Well," Jacob said, grabbing the book, "that first line - that's the first spell right? Well each line contains a different spell. Anyway, each spell is powered by the human's heart. The more the human believes in their mamodo, the more spells and more strength to each one. But the mamodo have to train, too."
"Oh, so the more training we do, and the more I believe, the more I can read!" Dylan understood.
Meanwhile, below the plane, in a forest stood a mamodo and his book owner.
"And your sure there are mamodo up there, right?" The human asked.
"Yeah, two of 'em!" The mamodo answered.
"Wonderful! Two birds with one spell! Daree!" The book owner called out a spell.
The mamodo's arms changed to the color green, and stretched way out! The spell had turned his arms into vines! The mamodo whipped his vine-like arms towards the plane, grabbing hold of it!
The plane's jets kept in the air, but wasn't going anywhere because of the vines holding it down!
"What's going on?" Victor asked, concerned.
"A mamodo!" Tanjit and Jacob said.
"C'mon, Victor!" Dylan said, fallowing Jacob and Tanjit towards the door of the plane.
Victor got up and fallowed them.
Tanjit grunted as he opened the door.
Normally, if you were ever stupid enough to open a plane's door while it is still in the air, it would create a suction and you would be bulled straight out of it. But, since the plane was being held by the vines, and wasn't moving, they were safe!
"Pymara!" Dylan shouted, causing Jacob to burst fire on the vines/arms.
"Ow!" The mamodo said as he withdrew his spell.
"Winfulc!" Victor commanded.
Tanjit's small gust of wind let them all carefully lift down as the plane took off! They landed right in front of the mamodo and his partner.
"Hello!" The mamodo said, "I am Elkey and this is my partner. We attacked your plane to lour you down and burn your books!"
"The only book burning that's happening here is going to be is us burning your book!" Tanjit said.
"Oh, I see. Well, I'd like to see you try!" Elkey said.
"Oh really? Then let's go!" Victor challenged.
"Daree!" The book owner commanded.
"Winfulc!" Victor yelled.
