Chapter 3 custody battle
This is a re-edited chapter.
…
A few days after the twin's birthday party, the twins could hear commotion inside the throne room, so Zatch and Zeno went to check it out.
The twins saw their mother and father arguing. "They are my kids too, and I say Zatch must be separated from Zeno for both of their safety" Mr. Bell shouted
"There must be another way, look at how well they get along" Mrs. Bell retorted
"That isn't the point Baou can kill Zeno if Zatch isn't careful" Mr. Bell responded. "Zeno will be put in military school and Zatch will be put in a foster home" Mr. Bell stated coldly.
"Zeno what's military school" Zatch asked, he was confused to what was going on. The twins were hiding behind giant doors peeping though a crack.
"Shh be quite" Zeno whispered.
"Can't we at least have a compromise" Mrs. Bell said, now knowing Mr. Bell regained his strength to fight.
"Like on that day you said there are no compromises, we are going with my plan" Mr. Bell shouted.
"Looks like I have no choice but to challenge you in a custody battle" Mrs. Bell retorted.
"Fine meet me in the backyard where you had that party a few days ago" Mr. Bell said then started to walk away.
Zatch and Zeno then opened the doors and ran to their mother.
"What's going on, mother?" the twins asked at the same time.
"Don't worry just cheer me on from the side lines" Mrs. Bell said, she then went to the backyard with the twins following. "Whatever happens I love the both of you" Mrs. Bell said walking into battle.
"I wish it hadn't come down to this" Mr. Bell said getting into fighting position.
"Zakerga" Mr. Bell shouted, a large lightning blast came out of his right hand and right towards Mrs. Bell
"Fishield" Mrs. Bell shouted, a shield made out of spiraling white fire appeared in front of her. The shield then began to shudder and soon disappeared, and the spell Zakerga hit her in the right shoulder.
The twins became frightened because they were worried for their parents safety, especially their mother.
"Stop it why are you two fighting" Zatch cried out.
"You fool, why did you bring them to see us fight?" Mr. Bell said now pissed. "Either way the first one to fall on the ground loses" Mr. Bell shouted.
There were around 10 royal guards and 1 royal advisory watching the battle to see the outcome. They were the witnesses to see who deserved the custody of the twin princes.
"Fine I will wipe you out with one spell" Mrs. Bell shouted aiming her hands at Mr. Bell
"Barudo Firusu" Mrs. Bell shouted out. Her hands began glowing white and hot energy in the sky began to form.
A giant white fire phoenix appeared in the sky then lunged at Mr. Bell.
"Giving it everything you got are you, then so shall I" Mr. Bell shouting, pointing his hands at the fire phoenix.
"Shin Teozakeru" Mr. Bell shouted and created a lightning blast strong enough to wipe out their castle.
The fire phoenix went diving at the lightning blast, with a thunderous roar both of the spells collided, each appeared trying to gain the upper hand. It was apparent that both Mr. Bell and Mrs. Bell was succumbing to old age, because both of the spells started to quickly weaken.
But Mr. Bell had been training intensely for 2 whole years; he was the one with the advantage.
The Mother put in more energy into her ultimate spell, which only caused the 2 spells to cancel out.
The cancelling out created a smoke plume that covered the battlefield.
Mr. Bell came through the smoke with Rauzaruk active then smashed Mrs. Bell to the floor.
"They didn't make me king for nothing" Mr. Bell said in victory.
Falling onto the ground, the rules dictated that would be the loser, and that the victor would gain the rights of custody.
Mrs. Bell was thrown to the side lines next to the boys
. "I know you two are older now but I will give you what power I got" Mrs. Bell then put her hands on the boys and her hands glowed faintly, She then passed out.
She had given all of her powers to Zatch and Zeno, yet the boys didn't feel any different.
"Mother!" the twins screamed
"It's time to go Zatch" Mr. Bell stated, he had a cold look on his face.
"I'm not going anywhere" Zatch shouted looking at his father.
"Zaker" Zatch said the electric blast went toward his father which he blocked with one hand.
"Impetus child" Mr. Bell said picking Zatch up by the back of his cloak then began to walk away from Zeno and his wife.
"Where ever he goes I go" Zeno shouted chasing after him.
"You're going to military school Zeno" Mr. Bell stated then kicked Zeno aside.
"Then that's where I will go" Zatch shouted still trying to get loose.
Mr. Bell stopped moving for a moment then thought about the idea. "Yes you would be too tired to even use your first spell yet alone Baou" Mr. Bell stated then put Zatch back down. "Get a lot of rest you two; you're going to need it. Oh and Zatch you aren't going to the same school as Zeno" Mr. Bell stated then started to walk back to the castle leaving the royal guards to pick Mrs. Bell back up.
Zatch then smiled "isn't this great Zeno we get to stick together" Zatch said still not knowing what military school was.
"Yeah but we can't go to the same school Zatch" Zeno said a little depressed.
"Well we can't have everything we want, let's go help mom get back inside" Zatch said then ran to his mother with Zeno following.

Authors Note: I thought about making the battle between Mrs. Bell and Mr. Bell longer. But they're over 1000 years old…I'm guessing that mamodo that old can't fight for very long. So I want the battle to be short.
