Alan and Jay had been together for just about a month now, as they walked outside. They had regrettably burned Eyesacc's book. Alan was now enrolled in school, and were walking in the schoolyard. "Do you think it was a bad idea to burn Eyesacc's book?" Alan asked, a bit concerned. They were surrounded by enemies, and Eyesacc was the only person who they came across that was good.
"Well, Eyesacc and Thomson really didn't like to fight. And, besides, we'll find other people to help us. Remember, there are 100 Mamodo in this fight." Jay pointed out. Alan kicked the sand that surrounded the schoolyard, and then sighed.
"I guess. Just, there's no telling the next time we'll find another good Mamodo." Alan said, kicking the sand up so hard that it flew into their faces. Jay brushed the sand out of his eyes.
"Hey, at least we're getting stronger, in case we do have to face someone." Jay said, really unable to think of anything else. Jay sighed and looked up at the clear blue sky.
"Devi." A voice said. Two women walked out from the shadows.
"That new spell of ours works like a charm, Camille." The elder said, holding a translucent Mamodo book. Jay and Alan didn't notice them, for some reason.
"Cheer up, Alan." Jay said, a smile on his face. But then he found something was wrong. Everything was muted; he couldn't even hear his own voice. He could see Alan reply by mouthing the word 'what', but Alan had the same problem. They couldn't hear anything. The spell the other team had cast was a spell that made them deaf.
"Ivi." The elder said. She laughed.
"I love your powers Camille. It'll be easy to burn books with the three spells we already have." The elder complimented.
"Why, thank you Stella. I always knew I was better than the rest of these slobs," Camille, the Mamodo, laughed. She walked over to Jay, and reached for the book.
"Help!" Jay yelled. But it was Saturday in a schoolyard; who would answer that cry? Suddenly, everything went black. Alan and Jay couldn't see anything.
"What do you humans put in this sand?" Alan asked, rubbing his eyes. Then, Jay felt something. Someone was trying to grab the book out of Jay's hands!
"Stop! Jay yelled, kicking at the air. 'They must be after the book… they're Mamodo!' Jay thought, still kicking at the air.
"Braidon!" Jay yelled, hoping to get a hit. Instead, Jay felt himself being pushed backwards. The attack had hit him! He landed on his back, the book lying beside him. He groaned. 'How am I supposed to attack someone I can't even see or hear? And whenever I cast a spell, there is no guarantee it'll hit them.' Jay panicked, searching for the book with his hands.
"Ha! This is easier than I thought, Camille." The elder, Stella said, watching her reach for the book. Than, all of a sudden, the teen started kicking at the air. Camille backed away. It was almost comical to watch him, and soon they burst out laughing. Than, they heard him cast a spell. They simply backed away. The whip of hair hit the teen, sending him flying backwards.
"This is humiliating! For them, at least." Camille said, approaching Jay.
"How does it feel to lose?" Camille asked. She knew she wouldn't get an answer, but she still laughed. She kicked him. Than she went down to his level.
"If you can hear me, than great. Give up. I hope you realize that we aren't even trying. Hand me the book, and nothing will happen to you." Camille said, steadily reaching for the book.
Jay could finally hear again. He heard a bird chirp, and someone stepping towards him. And then she heard her offer, pulling her close to him. "Braidon." Jay said simply. The girl winced. Then, suddenly, she was sent flying. Jay got up, and yelled to Alan.
"Yeah, Jay?" Alan replied back.
"It's a Mamodo." Jay replied simply.
"I sorta got that when you started casting spells." Alan said. Now, they could see again.
"Awesome. Checkmate, you two." Jay said to the team. Camille and Stella looked at each other.
"Not so fast, you. Devi!" Stella said. Jay and Alan could no longer hear, once again.
"The same plan won't work twice." Jay said simply. Stella muttered something, and then, suddenly, the Stella and Camille disappeared. Jay and Alan sort of gasped. They looked around and backed up. 'They disappeared?' Jay thought. Alan was grabbed and pulled back by invisible hands. Someone was grabbing the book.
"They are invisible!" Jay said. The person grabbing the book stopped. Jay looked around for Alan. He was being held by someone strong, because he was fighting very hard. 'That means that the Mamodo is holding him… which also means the book owner is trying to grab the book! That gives me an idea…' Jay thought.
"Braidon! Immobi Braidon!" Jay yelled. The whip of hair set him free. Then, some large whips of hair surrounded Jay. Jay jumped, as the whips tightened around the area. Jay used the whips as leverage, and jumped over them, toward Alan. Jay fished in his pocket for the match, lit it, and threw it at the whips of hair. Then suddenly, Jay and Alan could hear something; screaming. The two became visible. Jay shut the book, ending the spell, releasing Stella, the human. But they got what they wanted. The translucent book was on fire. Camille screamed, running towards the book.
"I hate you! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" The girl screamed, putting dirt unto the book. The book soon became smoldering ashes, and Camille was gone. Stella put the fire on herself out.
"Where's Camille?" She asked.
"I sent her back to the Mamodo world. I suggest you scram." Alan said, angry.
"These two are REALLY getting on my nerves, Amy." Luna said, looking down from the ceiling of the school building.
"I know Luna. But Hawke and Warren will take care of them, soon enough." Amy said, scowling at the team, watching as Stella walked away.
"At least I'm one of the strongest Mamodo in this competition. As long as I have five spells, the new spells will follow." Luna said, going to the stairs.
