Chapter 38 Gabrio
Authors note: I'm doing this chapter at 1:00 am in the morning so if there are grammar issues then deal with IT. Other than that this will be a short chapter
It was after school Zatch and Zeno went to the park along with meeting a few friends.
"Tia… Sugino" Zatch said excitedly for Tia and grouchy for the second
"So what are we going to play today?" Tia asked
"Play?" Zeno repeated confused. "Zatch, me and Sugino are here training" Zeno explained
"What, you two are strong enough there's no reason to train" Tia retorted
"Sugino here is weak therefore must become stronger" Zeno responded pointing at Sugino who was now offended.
"Hey I'm not weak, I'm just not a freak" Sugino retorted back at Zeno
"Care to repeat that" Zeno hissed going into Sugino's face
"Freak, freak, freak" Sugino chanted into Zeno's face who was now stupefied.
Zeno started shaking "Weakling, chicken, moron, coward" Zeno yelled out.
(Fight, fight, fight, kick his butt Zeno) Zatch thought to himself while knowing Zeno wouldn't attack Sugino for calling him names.
"Ok you two calm down" Tia said and pushed them away from each other, Sugino stared at her.
"What do you want ugly" Sugino commented then found himself on the ground being choked out by Tia.
"What DID YOU SAY" Tia yelled putting Sugino into a sleeper hold.
(Thank You Tia!) Zatch screamed inside his thoughts.
Zatch and Zeno just enjoyed the scene of watching a boy getting beat up by a girl.
"Someone help me" Sugino cried out trying to get loose but couldn't.
"Sugino you really need to train" Zeno pointed out.
"I would never let Tia… do that to me" Zatch said nervously and looking the other way
Tia got off Sugino "I hope that teaches you a lesson" Tia yelled getting all of her anger out on Sugino.
"So,… mean" Sugino said while trying to get back up.
"Hey you guys want to go play in the hills" Some of the kids asked Zatch, Zeno, Tia and Sugino.
"No way, these kids are under military law" Zeno responded to the kids
"Military law" Tia asked looking at Zatch
"You don't want to know" Zatch explained and Tia thought it best to leave it at that.
"O…Ok" the kid said and walk off with the others including Naomi
"Now I'll train Sugino and Zatch you're in charge of Tia" Zeno ordered
"Yes sir" the three responded.
Zatch taught Tia some moves she could use in battle or to torture Sugino
Zeno made Sugino do endurance exercises by running around the park non stop
Meanwhile with Kiyo and Dufort watching the news
"This is a large loin from Africa called Gabrio, you can see him in the Zoo today" the announcer stated
"He's huge, Zatch and Zeno would love to see that." Kiyo said and wondered what they were doing. (Knowing Zeno, they're probably training in the park) Kiyo thought to himself
Meanwhile with Zatch and the group
Two kids were running to Zatch and the group while Tia just flipped Zatch over her back onto the ground.
"Hey Zatch" the kids yelled
Zatch got up and dusted himself off "Yeah?" Zatch asked
The kids showed Zatch and his friends the problem
"Naomi fell off the cliff" the Kids explained and pointed down at Naomi who was sitting down on the cliff waiting for someone.
"How did that fool slip?" Zeno asked
"She was chasing a snake and fell" the kid responded
"It isn't our problem" Zeno stated
"We can at least call an adult" Zatch retorted
"There's a cave on the other side of the tree" Tia pointed out then noticed something big coming out of it.
"It's a loin" the kids yelled
"How is there a loin in Japan?" Sugino asked
All of the kids began to freak out except for Naomi who didn't notice the loin at first.
"Runaway or you'll get eaten" the kids yelled including Tia
"Why is everyone being so loud" Naomi asked then turned around to see a huge loin and then freaked out.
"She's going to die, Zeno block everyone's view" Zatch ordered
"Why are you going to help her, she always tries to pick on you when your brother isn't around" a kid stated
"She what!" Zeno yelled now pissed off and hoping that Naomi would eaten
"You didn't know?" Another kid asked
"That's not important, if I can save somebody's life then I'm going to do it no matter what they did to me" Zatch explained then leaned near the edge. "Zeno!" Zatch yelled
"Yeah, yeah" Zeno increased the size of his cloak and made it flutter like it was being affected by the wind, in doing so it blocked the kids view of Zatch jumping off the ledge.
"Zatch" Tia yelled going near the edge and watch Zatch free fall without using his cloak to slow himself down.
Zatch landed full force on the loins nose shocking Naomi yet not the loin since Zatch only weighed about 40 -50 pounds (I think it might be less than that)
The loin gave out a huge roar and Zatch jumped in front of Naomi to protect her.
"Stay behind me" Zatch ordered
"How didn't you die from that fall?" Naomi asked
"Don't worry about that now" Zatch shouted then took a defensive stance.
The loin took a swing at Zatch with its left paw trying to throw Zatch off the cliff; Zatch took the attack and the razor sharp claws and held his ground.
"Aren't you going to help your brother" the kid asked worried about Zatch
"He can handle it, after all he's my brother" Zeno responded
"Isn't this his second fight? It sound like to me he's doing all the work" Sugino taunted Zeno
Zeno thought about it for a moment "shut up already" Zeno demanded
Sugino then shut up
The huge loin took another swing at Zatch but Zatch dodged it with ease, Zatch then gave the loin an uppercut to the jaw almost sending it off the cliff.
"How is he so strong" the kid asked
"Didn't you guys watch us spar, we put cracks in the ground" Zeno responded
While the loin struggled to get back up
"Naomi I think we should start climbing back up" Zatch stated, Naomi started climbing up like crazy leaving Zatch in the dust but he too was not far behind.
When the both of them reached the top they were greeted by the four kids.
"You should've knocked that cat off the face of the cliff" Zeno said when his brother came up.
"I didn't need to kill it" Zatch said
"You always say protect the humans, yet you let a man eating loin roam free" Zeno retorted
Zatch looked back down at the loin "I think it just wants to run free" Zatch said with sympathy
"Wow Naomi I guess this gives Zatch bragging rights, you can't bully him anymore since he saved your life" a kid said
"My life was never in danger to begin with" Naomi brushed off her near death experience
"You're Ungrateful" Tia yelled.
"Well we wasted enough time here lets go back to the park" Zeno said annoyed with Naomi's attitude.
"Ok Zeno" Zatch said not caring if Naomi was grateful or not he was just glad that she didn't die.
