Chapter Eleven – New Enemies: Weston and Grady!
"You really mean it?" Jacob asked his partner, excitedly.
"Yep. I really mean it." Dylan said, smiling forward.
Dylan had agreed that since Jacob did such a good deed, that he would buy his mamodo his own GameBoy Advance SP. Jacob, of course, was very excited. The two were walking with Victor and Tanjit towards the closes game store. They were currently passing by an old train yard full of old train cars that couldn't be used.
"Oh my gosh! I can't wait!" Jacob bounced up and down.
"I thought you were saving up for college?" Victor asked Dylan in a low voice.
"Well, I'm going to try to get a new job soon, and I figure he deserves it for all the hard work he's done lately." Dylan explained.
"Where are you going to find a job at?" Victor asked.
"Good question…" Dylan trailed off.
He turned and looked through the fence at the old train yard. He used to come here as a boy with his father to watch the trains go by and load up for long travels. Tanjit suddenly stopped walking. He looked down at the ground.
"Come on, man." Victor said to his mamodo.
"Wait. I feel…weird…" Tanjit said.
"Weird how?" Jacob asked his friend.
"Do you ever sorta feel like something really bad is about to happen, and you can't stop it?" Tanjit looked up at his friends.
Before any of them could answer him, a huge explosion came from inside the fence. Dylan jolted over by the fencing and tried to see what had happened. The only thing he could see was a huge plume of solid black smoke.
"What was that?" Victor asked.
"Whoa. You predicted that!" Jacob said to Tanjit.
"I…" Tanjit trailed off into thought.
The four friends watched for anything else to happen, or a sign of what had happened the first time. Suddenly, out of the black smoke came a black sphere, flying towards the area that Dylan, Jacob, Victor, and Tanjit were at!
"Defulc!" Victor commanded.
Tanjit's gust went through the fence and formed a shield, which the sphere hit and exploded! They were all knocked down.
"Looks like we're dealing with another mamodo…" Victor muttered.
"You sure are. A very powerful one, at that." Said a voice from the smoke.
Another blast shot out and hit the fencing, obliterating a huge section of it! Dylan stood up and opened Jacob's spellbook. It started glowing, as Dylan was angry.
"Do you really want to bring that out in the open. It's just a target now…" The voice spoke again.
"Winfulc!" Victor yelled.
Tanjit blasted a gust of wind at the pitch black smoke and blew it all away. Surely enough, a boy stood there, holding a dark-gray spellbook. His mamodo stood beside him.
"Oh darn!" The human smiled, "Our cover is blown!"
"What do you want?!?!" Jacob and Dylan barked at the same time.
"Do you really want to know what I want?" The boy asked.
"We want your spellbooks. Burning." The mamodo spoke, finally.
"Not gonna happen!" Jacob yelled.
"Hahaha. You are a rambunctious little guy, huh? Allow me to introduce ourselves! I am Weston, and this is my mamodo, Grady." The human said.
"We've heard some pretty impressive things about you four…" Grady added.
"Like what?" Dylan asked.
"Like that you've already burned two books. I've burned four myself…but I'm not bragging…" Grady stated.
"Sounds like bragging to me…" Tanjit mumbled.
"Anyways, we're here to eliminate you two to ensure my victory. Say your goodbyes…" Grady said.
"I don't know what kinds of mamodos you've fought before, but we're not going to simply give up. Especially to people like you!" Dylan defended his friends.
"So be it. Wodahs!" Weston yelled.
Grady formed a black sphere in his hand and then threw it towards Jacob and Dylan.
"Pymara!" Dylan shouted.
The spells clashed, but Grady's overpowered Jacob's fire and continued flying towards Dylan and the spellbook in his arms!
"Zecloid!" Dylan yelled.
Jacob rose the spell out of the ground quickly. Grady's Wodahs blast hit it, and they both disappeared.
"Ssenkrad!" Weston called out another spell.
Grady formed another black sphere in his hands, but this time, he fed it more and more energy until it was twice as big and powerful as Wodahs! He fired it at Jacob, and it flew fast!
"Winfulc!" Victor called, pointing at an old box car nearby.
Tanjit blew the box car in the way of the attack, and with a huge explosion, it was destroyed, and the attack was stopped.
"Quick thinking, man!" Dylan said, "Pymara!"
"Winfulc!" Victor added.
Jacob and Tanjit both fired their attacks, which formed together in the air, creating a very powerful wave of fiery wind! It hit Grady, who just flinched a little.
"Ssenvine!" Weston yelled out Grady's third spell.
Grady pulled up a huge black vine from the ground, and sent it towards Tanjit! Tanjit managed to avoid the attack, but it ended up hitting Victor, knocking the spellbook into the air!
"Do something!" Jacob yelled at Dylan.
"Pymara will just burn it!" Dylan answered, "I can't do anything!"
"Then I will!" Jacob said, running.
"The book is in the air! Wodahs Ssenvine!" Weston shouted.
Grady rose another giant vine from out of the ground and whipped it towards Tanjit's spellbook. The vine split into multiple separate tentacles. Jacob jumped into the air and covered Tanjit's spellbook with his body. The tentacles whipped into Jacob, and he fell to the ground.
"Jacob!" Tanjit yelled, running to his friend.
A helicopter flew over and hovered over the battlefield.
"That's all I needed to see." Weston said, closing Grady's spellbook, "Wodahs Ssenvine!"
Grady's vines grabbed hold of the Helicopter, and carried them away. Jacob handed Victor Tanjit's spellbook. He was still on the ground, in pain, as he had taken the full force of Grady's strongest attack.
"Man…it's just been one battle after another!" Jacob complained.
"Speaking of which…" Tanjit said, turning his attention towards a huge shower of yellow beams heading straight at them all!
