Finally! A review! I was getting worried that no one would review this story. OC's are welcome!
Entering the old warehouse was easy. Luna must not have been expecting them. But she would be soon, and they needed to find Luna, along with Emmanuel and Rio Baton. The four navigated through. There was glass everywhere, and empty wooden crates blocking passageways. It was a good thing Hawke knew what he was doing; they could have been searching for hours. Hawke pointed to a hatch, which Alan helped him open. They looked down. There were two Mamodo and their book owners. Hawke sighed. "That's Emmanuel and Rio Baton, along with their book owners. We should take out Emmanuel first, and focus on Rio. Rio Baton is the one with the colorful jumpsuit. Emmanuel is the one who looks like Warren. Got your matches?" Hawke asked. This whole plan was riding on a pack of matches. Of course, Hawke's power of flight would come in handy for a quick escape, but then Luna would always hunt them. Jay and Alan sighed.
"We're ready." Jay said. Prima nodded, as she opened the book. Hawke looked down the hatch again, only to see that the two teams were coming up.
"Run! Get behind a crate!" Hawke whispered, as they dispersed around the warehouse.
"This day was coming, I always knew it. Hawke was a coward and a rouge from day one," Rio Baton said, climbing out of the bottom floor of the warehouse.
"Stop whining. With our powers combined, we'll be able to take out Hawke no matter what!" Emmanuel said, raising his fist in the air.
"Did you not listen to that conversation at all? He's bringing another team. The team that beat Horace and Camille, remember?" Rio said, swinging a baton, leaning against a crate, and watching for his partner.
"Yeah, but they had help from Eyesacc in the first battle, and it was only a stroke of luck in the battle with Camille!" Emmanuel argued. Two people, a man who was dressed in a purple tuxedo and carrying a staff, and a woman who was wearing a white gown came up the ladder.
"Why is it always so freezing in here? It's eighty degrees outside, yet it's sixty in here!" The man complained, fidgeting.
"Emmanuel, this is our big break. You with the Mamodo battle, and me with the stage! I'm finally getting a spot in the spotlight Emmanuel!" The woman said.
"Yeah, so what. It's not like your playing the lead. And it's a play that you're supervising, not playing in." Emmanuel said, crossing his arms.
"Well, supervising the play is just as important as playing the lead!" The woman said triumphantly.
"You give them large donations and then sit backstage. How is that important, Savoir (pronounced: Sa- vwa)?"
"Yes, that's called producing. The show can't go on without those donations!" Savoir said.
"Whatever. It's still not important. Rio, do you know where those Mamodo are?" Emmanuel asked.
"We just have to wait until those teams show up." Rio said, listening intently.
"Icaradoma." Prima said, as quietly as she could. There was whirring sound, and suddenly, crates piled up on the two teams.
"Immobi Braidon!" Jay said in response, whips of hair wrapped around them, trapping the two teams under the crates.
"Give me a spell!" Rio shouted.
"Gigano Rudom!" The man shouted. The crates went flying, revealing Rio the spell's effect. Rio had turned into a spinning top, and spun at high speeds. When he stopped spinning, he stood up.
"Hawke! I know you're out there! Where are you you cowards?" Rio said, throwing the empty wooden crates around.
"I think these guys should get bent. Literally. Savoir," Emmanuel signaled.
"Egrodor!" Savoir yelled. Emmanuel became huge, knocking away crates like they were flies.
"Bekaradom!" Prima yelled. Hawke lifted to the top of the warehouse, and started spinning. He thrust into Emmanuel, knocking the now-giant Mamodo backward. Emmanuel fell on his knees, going back to his normal size.
"Surprise attack! That's unfair!" Emmanuel said childishly.
"Rio!" Emmanuel yelled.
"Rudom." Rio's book owner said. He started to twirl his staff, and laughed. Rio's baton gained a golden aura, and then Rio threw it. All the crates that it hit exploded, as it boomeranged back to him. Right before it was about to hit the last few crates, it hit Hawke. The bird like Mamodo growled.
"Prima, a spell if you will." Hawke asked calmly, a scowl on his face.
"Icaradoma!" Prima yelled, sending Hawke flying toward Rio Baton.
"Rudoshield." Rio's book owner said simply. Rio started twirling his baton. When Hawke hit the baton, he was surprisingly knocked back.
"It's a shield, you idiot." Rio said, going up to the bird, lifting him up by the collar. He threw Hawke to the side.
"Now for the book owner." Rio said, slowly approaching Prima.
"Braidon!" Jay said, getting in front of Prima. Alan's hair whip threw Rio into a wall.
"Hiding behind a friend, huh? We'll fight fire with fire, than. Emmanuel!" Rio shouted, panting.
"Right!" Emmanuel shouted back.
"Savoir, lets destroy them." Emmanuel cracked his knuckles.
"Egrodor!" Savoir yelled, making Emmanuel huge again.
"Oh, stop playing games." Jay said.
"Immobi Braidon!" Jay yelled, trapping the huge Emmanuel. Immediately, he became his normal size again. Emmanuel struggled within the hair whip, as Jay and Alan approached Savoir.
"No! Emmanuel is gonna see how great I am! You are going down! Back away!" Savoir yelled, swatting the air.
"This is pathetic. Braidon." Jay said, facepalming. The whip knocked away Savoir, leaving the book behind. Jay grabbed the book, and a match. He lit the match, watching the flames engulf the book. Savoir ran to the book, putting her hand on the burning book.
"Salvidora! Salvidora!" Savoir yelled. The first spell caused a green light to engulf the shining Emmanuel, the other a green light over Rio Baton. When the light disappeared, the two Mamodo were healed of all their wounds. Emmanuel went over to Savoir.
"Thanks, Savoir. At least you didn't give up." Emmanuel said, hugging the older woman.
"I wish you could see my performance, Emmanuel…" Savoir said longingly, hugging the boy back.
"You just can't get over that, can you?" Emmanuel asked. He then shone brighter, until the light engulfed him. He disappeared after that. The woman than ran away from the scene, down the ladder into the hole.
"Don't let her get away!" Hawke yelled. Alan and Jay ran toward the hole in response, only to see that Rio was in front of it.
"Your road ends here. Right, Flip?" Rio asked his partner.
"Umm-hmm. I think these two have evaded their book being burned for too long." Flip smiled, twirling his staff.
"Get ready for the hardest battle of your lives." Rio said, jumping toward Alan.
"Icaradoma!" Prima yelled, knocking Rio away again. Hawke held his shoulder, giving thumbs up to his friends.
"But it is not a battle they'll fight alone." Hawke said.
