Chapter 40 the Amusement Park
Kiyo, Dufort, Zatch, Zeno and surprisingly Sugino and Haru were at the amusement park waiting for Megumi and Tia
"We got here too early" Kiyo stated
"It's better than being late" Zatch and Zeno said at the same time
"You better behave yourself Sugino" Kiyo warned
"Be quiet" Sugino retorted
"Kiyo is it bad if we go ahead them?" Zatch asked
"Of course not, they're the ones that late" Zeno responded walking up to the counter
"Who's going to pay your way in?" Kiyo retorted
"Dufort's got that covered" Zeno responded but was still waiting for his brother.
"It will be 30 minutes until Tia and Megumi gets here" Dufort stated
"I agree with the kids let's get going" Haru responded
Kiyo thought about it "Well I'll like to look around" Kiyo admitted
"Unu in that case let's go on that roller-coaster" Zatch said in amazement of the speed and height.
"Then it's decided lets march" Zeno ordered going through the counting machine, Dufort paid his ticket.
Everyone else followed suit.
Everyone went to the roller-coaster that had at least 3 loops and decent sized drops yet Sugino, Zeno, and Zatch were horrified to find out that they were too small to ride.
"Wa wh" Zatch was dumbfounded and was in an upset mood
"Not cool" Sugino complained
"Stupid Humans, we paid our money we should be able to ride" Zeno yelled in anger
Zatch, Zeno, and Sugino watched as a roller-coaster climbed the hill with two empty seats two rows behind the front.
"I got an idea" Zeno said with a grin then grabbed Zatch and Sugino then teleported to Kiyo's dismay
"Zeno, what if someone seen you" Kiyo yelled into the air, people started to stare at Kiyo.
Zeno reappeared on top of the roller-coaster ride and dropped Zatch and Sugino into the spare seats.
"Have fun" Zeno said with a smile then teleported back to the ground
"Zeno" Zatch and Sugino screamed in panic as the roller-coaster started to roll down the hill and Zatch and Sugino didn't have their seat belts buckled
"Ahhh" Zatch and Sugino yelled trying to grab on anything they possibly could to prevent themselves from falling out.
Zeno walked back to the group
"Wow Sugino is going to be pissed" Haru said between laughs
"Eh, the both of them will thank me later" Zeno said with a smile
"Get me off this thing" Sugino cried as the roller- coaster went around a loop
"Where are the seatbelts?" Zatch cried and was even more terrified to find out that he couldn't use his cloak since it might get caught under the wheels of the roller-coaster. "Kiyoooo help us" Zatch screamed while going around another loop.
"They're too big" Sugino responded holding onto a seatbelt that didn't fit.
Zeno just listened to their screams which could be heard throughout half the park
"Aren't you worried that Zatch might fall?" Kiyo asked paying attention to Zatch who was barely hanging on.
"I'll just have Dufort buy Zatch an ice cream, since Zatch can fly or hover." Zeno stated then started looking for more rides until he felt two other mamodo's presences.
"You say I can't ride because I'm too small don't mess with me" a kid shouted at a staff worker
"Zeno" Dufort responded
"They're not bothering anyone, plus this is my day off, we'll leave them alone" Zeno explained
"That's enough Purio" a black lady with an afro said to the child that was wearing a small crown.
"Who's side are you on, I want to ride the pirate ship, I want to ride, I want to ride" Purio cried out.
"Give it up already you brat" a man taunted the child but was strangely riding a little kid's ride.
"You're one to talk, you're riding a kids ride" Purio retorted. "You should let Zoboron ride to don't you have any pity" Purio yelled at the bearded man who was dragging a lizard across the ground.
"I'm the one who paid for the ride" Hige retorted and kept going on his way
(They have some weird people here) Kiyo and Zeno thought at the same time
"Great it's time to go back to the meeting place and Zatch and Sugino are stuck riding that roller-coaster" Kiyo complained and was still hearing Zatch's and Sugino's cries for help.
"If I can't ride it I'll destroy it" Purio yelled in a tantrum
Kiyo, Dufort and Zeno seen Lupa pull out a mamodo's book
"You're a hopeless child" Lupa responded flipping through the pages
"Zaker" Dufort responded
Zeno aimed low to avoid anyone getting hurt; the lightning hit the ground close to Purio's and Lupa's feet
"We can't fight here" Dufort stated then started running and noticed that a second bearded human was following
"You think you can get away" Purio shouted at Zeno and Dufort
"After them" Lupa yelled
"Of course" Hige responded carrying a lizard with him
(They think we're running away? Fools) Zeno thought while running behind Dufort
"What should we do" Haru asked Kiyo
"I'll go find Megumi and Tia, you tell Zatch and Sugino of the situation" Kiyo ordered then went running to the meeting spot.
"Right" Haru said in a calm manner then waited outside the exit for the roller-coaster
(The time has come to show the results of our training)Purio thought while running after Dufort and Zeno
Dufort and Zeno picked an empty pool to fight, and there was no one around
"How awful you picked an uninhabited spot to fight" Lupa stated
"My brother wouldn't forgive me if I got innocent bystander caught in the cross fire, frankly I wouldn't like it either" Zeno explained
"We will let you leave the park now in peace, we will not chase you" Dufort stated with a calm face.
"If you do then we won't chase you, this is supposed to be my day off" Zeno explained
"Hah don't make me laugh, we're itching for a fight and we finally found an easy target" Purio mocked Zeno which pissed Zeno off greatly
"Dareido" Lupa yelled, Purio shot forth some strange liquid
"Zaker" Dufort quickly reacted, Zeno obliterated the strange liquid yet Lupa and Purio were able to dodge but barely.
"Did you forget about us" Hige said behind Dufort and Zeno
"Zaker" Dufort responded almost instantly, Zeno aimed and fired a large Zaker at Hige and Zoboron
"Dogurak" Hige said quickly as possible
The two spells collided and exploded very close to Hige and Zoboron sending them flying 10 feet
"The lizard's spells are slow but powerful, the crowned freak only has immobilization spells" Dufort told Zeno
"How does he know what to do and when" Lupa wondered
"It doesn't matter we're partners and together we're the ultimate combination" Purio proclaimed
"We can beat anyone" Hige said getting up with a few burn marks
"So give up your book peacefully and we promise it won't hurt" Purio offered
"It doesn't matter how many of you weaklings band together… I will burn anyone's book who dare imposes on my and Zatch's dream" Zeno shouted in determination and aiming at the two teams were now besides each other
"Dogurak" Hige shouted and the lizard mamodo launched a very slow energy ball
"Dareido" Lupa recited, Purio ran up to Zeno to spit his spell out
Zeno simply kicked Purio in the jaw causing the mystery slime to come pouring out of his nose
"I can't breathe" Purio cried as Zeno stood above.
"I think I had enough of this" Zeno stated and picked Purio up by his collar and threw him at the large energy mass approaching him
Lupa quickly jumped in the way and saved Purio from dying
"He's so merciless" Purio said in a slurred voice for he couldn't breathe through his nose.
Zeno and Dufort easily dodged the large mass of energy and ignored the sound of the impact and explosion caused by it.
"Using these weak technics are going to get you killed, leave now before I change my mind" Zeno said in a demanding way
"Don't underestimate us" Purio said, and then both Purio and Lupa charged at Dufort and Kiyo
Lupa went to swipe the book away from Dufort, Dufort grabbed Lupa's hand and nearly snapped it in two
Purio went to grab Zeno
"Zaker" Dufort responded while slamming Lupa into the ground
"Poreido" Lupa cried out in pain
Since Purio was slightly taller than Zeno his spell made direct impact in Zeno's face
Zeno retaliated by sending a huge current of lightning streaming through Purio's body
As Lupa and Purio lay writhing in pain, Dufort got a rag and tried to clean Zeno off as much as possible
"What will this stuff do?" Zeno asked in disgust
"You won't be able to move your body" Dufort responded
"Dogurak" Hige responded to the only opening he had, the slow mass of energy approached Zeno and Dufort at a slow pace
Zeno looked down at Lupa before dodging and raised his hand at the women still writhing in pain and on the ground
"Zaker" Dufort said coldly but held back a lot of his power only making the Zaker 1/5 its strength
The lightning shot by Zeno's hand ran through Lupa's body leaving scorch marks all over.
Zeno and Dufort then left the area to dodge the mass of energy which once again created a large blast
"What was that just now? Fireworks maybe" Megumi wondered
"Megumi" Kiyo yelled running to Megumi and Tia
"Oh Kiyo where's the rest of the gang" Megumi asked
"Zatch and Sugino are occupied at the moment and Zeno is fighting two mamodo by himself" Kiyo explained then pointed to the blast. "That's them fighting, go and help them" Kiyo requested
"They can handle themselves" Tia responded looking the other way
"Just do it in case" Kiyo asked
"Alright Kiyo we'll help" Megumi accepted
"Megumi" Tia yelled
"Zatch would be upset if his brother, plus we have an obligation to help Tia" Megumi explained
"Fine" Tia responded, the two headed off toward the explosion, Kiyo went back to the roller- coaster to wait for Zatch.
Meanwhile with the battle at hand
When Purio was able to stand he went running over to the battered women on the ground
"Lupa, Lupa get up, we trained so hard we can't lose here" Purio begged
"You're right, months of training…we must keep fighting" Lupa responded slowly, and then she slowly rose off the ground
"Months of training you say, me and my brother trained for years. I take back what I said about letting you go, I'll burn your book" Zeno yelled then dashed toward Lupa and Purio but fell to the ground.
"It's taken affect" Purio said in an excited way
"There, Oru Dogurak" Hige yelled, the lizard shot a larger and stronger version of the first with a center point in the middle.
"Zeno" Dufort yelled running toward the silver hair boy lying on the ground
"DON'T Make fun of me" Zeno yelled and started getting up
"How's he moving?" Purio asked in fear and noticed that his cloak was wrapping around his arms and legs
Zeno was using his cloak to move his body around like a puppet. "You can numb my body but not my power" Zeno yelled and aimed at the large mass of energy
"Zakerga" Dufort yelled now beside Zeno, Zeno let out a large concentrated form of Zaker
The two spells collided creating an explosion cancelling out the spells
"I had enough of this" Zeno yelled in anger but was surprised to find Purio right next to him
"Dareido" Lupa recited
Dufort quickly kicked Purio in the face causing the attack to go off course but it still hit the top part of Zeno's legs.
"Zeno" Dufort responded
"Yeah I know" Zeno grabbed the part of the cloak that was supporting his legs and ripped them off and threw it to the ground, Zeno fell to the ground as a result.
"Kneeling for mercy well how kind of you" Purio mocked Zeno even further
Zeno gave Purio a death glare "I'll kill you" Zeno growled in pure frustration. "Dufort stop holding back" Zeno responded and aimed his hands at Hige and Lupa. "Let's see you protect your human partners" Zeno yelled
"Zakerga" Dufort yelled with the intent to kill
The large electric blast was swiped across the battle field making sure no one could dodge
"Oru Dogurak" Hige countered and used his attack as a shield but the explosion created still caused him and Zoboron damage.
Purio and Lupa jumped to the ground missing most of the lightning but both of them received damage to their backs and struggled to get back up
"Dareido" Lupa yelled, Purio managed to soak Zeno's left arm with the sticky liquid, once again Zeno tore off part of his cloak covering his left arm.
The team went and formed another formation
"He's strong" Lupa responded
"No matter what we do, that blond haired guy stops us dead" Hige stated
Lupa held her near broken arm "We must make them pay" Lupa shouted
"Stop ruining my freaking day off" Zeno yelled and the silver book glowed with the 6th spell
"Dufort, Zeno" Megumi yelled jumping into the empty pool and running towards Zeno and Dufort
"We don't need you help" Zeno snapped at Tia and Megumi
"You're the one that can't move" Tia retorted
"Wait he has allies" Purio asked
"She's a friend of Zatch's" Zeno explained looking at the enemy duo
"Zatch…Zeno, where did I hear those names before" Purio asked wondering, for some reason Zoboron realized who they were fighting this entire time.
"When you go back to the mamodo world you can tell them that Zeno Bell burned your book" Zeno responded while using Tia as a crutch
"Ge…Get off" Tia tried pushing Zeno off
"Zeno Bell… You mean the Bell Twins" Purio asked in freight but then had a huge smile on his face. "This is great if we burn your book then we will be feared throughout the mamodo world" Purio yelled in excitement and ignorance
"That's IT, I don't care how much I have to degrade myself, I'm not going to burn your book, I'm going to cause you so much pain that your book will automatically burn" Zeno declared scaring everyone mostly the enemy duo
"Tia I have an Idea" Dufort told Tia. "Zeno will use his cloak to remain on your back that way Zeno can get close and do what needs to be done" Dufort explained to Tia
The enemy duo kept their distance because Zeno still had one good arm he could use against them.
"If we wait too long the spell will wear off" Lupa explained
"We need an opening, that boy… he's out for blood" Hige responded
"Listen Tia I know we don't get along well but I can't move my legs… this is the only time I'm going to say it… I need your help" Zeno pleaded
Tia and Megumi were stunned
(Did he just acknowledge me as an equal?) Tia thought. "Fine but just this once" Tia responded with a blush of slight embarrassment.
Zeno had an even bigger blush for it felt like he was degrading himself; Zeno used the remainder of his cloak to latch on Tia's back and to kept the use of his right arm.
"Zakerga" Dufort recited, Zeno aimed and shot at the middle of the enemy Duo who barely dodged spiting the two apart
"Go" Zeno ordered
"Be quiet" Tia yelled running after Hige and Zoboron
"Then we'll go after their partners" Purio said then was horrified to find Dufort towering over him
"Poreido" Lupa chanted
Dufort simply kicked Purio in the face spinning him in the direction of his partner.
Lupa got covered in the numbing covering slime
"Lupa" Purio yelled then Megumi made her move by attacking the injured Lupa and slamming her to the ground
"Dogurak" Hige shouted, the lizard shot a energy ball at Zeno and Tia
"Ma Seshield" Megumi countered
The large energy ball smashed into the strong round shield that was defending Zeno and Tia, and the shield cancelled out the enemy spell
"Impossible" Hige responded
Tia flipped around to show Zeno
"Zaker" Dufort yelled in a calm fashion
The lightning made direct impact with Hige and Zoboron also burning Zoboron's book
"Zoboron" Hige cried out as his mamodo disappeared into the mamodo world
"We can't lose here" Purio cried at his partners book being burned but then his own book started to glow.
Lupa was able to get away from Megumi
Lupa flipped through the pages to find a new spell "we still have a chance" Lupa yelled out. "Mokerudo" Lupa yelled
Purio shot out a smokescreen blinding the entire battle field
"To your 5 o'clock direction" Dufort pointed out through the smoke while stopping Megumi from casting a shield spell
Zeno aimed his hand
"Barugirudo Zakerga" Dufort recited
The lightning attack came down from above striking Purio who was only five feet away from his human partner.
"AHHHH" Purio screamed in pain as the lightning kept on coursing through his veins
"If you want him to live, throw the book into the lightning" Zeno ordered through the smokescreen
As the lightning was still coming down with high voltage
"My son don't die" Lupa cried out throwing her book into the massive amounts of electricity
As the book caught fire Zeno ended the attack leaving a more than half dead Purio who was nearly scorched to death.
"Hey I can move my fingers" Zeno stated moving his fingers independently
As Lupa whispered things to Purio who was disappearing
"Wasn't that a little much" Tia said for sympathy for Purio
"He made his choice to fight me, and then he tried to run. I have no regrets to what I did" Zeno explained then he got off of Tia's back. "So thanks for helping" Zeno thanked Tia.
Dufort walked up to Zeno and picked him up and put Zeno on his shoulders.
"We should go check up on Zatch and Sugino" Zeno suggested, and with that Dufort ignored his two beaten opponents and went to see Zatch and the group
"Megumi?" Tia said in a worried look
"They'll be fine" Megumi responded looking at Hige and Lupa who were in serious pain from the inflicted wounds and the loss of their mamodo. "We're going to have a fun day right?" Megumi asked Tia.
Tia's eyes lit up "Yeah today we get to have fun with Kiyo and Zatch" Tia responded and she too left the two beaten humans at the empty pool, Megumi followed in toe.
"Zatch" both Tia and Zeno yelled running toward the roller-coaster to see that Zatch and Sugino finally got off.
"Zatch you ok?" Tia asked
Zatch was still shaking slightly from the last huge loop of the roller-coaster. "Z…Zeno I will get you back for that" Zatch said in a shaky voice
"Where's Sugino?" Zeno asked
"He went to the bathroom" Kiyo responded while buying Zatch an ice-cream
"Whaaa" Tia cried to find out that she was too small to ride the roller-coaster.
Zatch quickly reacted "trust me Tia you don't want to go on it" Zatch stated pulling Tia away from the roller-coaster
"Zenooo" Sugino yelled as soon as he seen him then started running after him
Zeno regained his mobility a few minutes ago so he started running away from the enraged mamodo.
"It was just a joke" Zeno said
"I almost died a painful death so get over here" Sugino yelled in anger, the two ran around Dufort
"Come on you guys lets go on something we can all ride" Kiyo suggest
The gang ended up riding a plane ride that brought them high in the sky and they could move it
"Get me down from here" Tia yelled while she was sitting with Kiyo
Sugino was relaxing "after that experience this ride is nothing" Sugino stated in relaxed position
"Is that so" Haru asked then started moving the plane up and down
"Stop what you doing Haru" Sugino shouted in slight fear.
Zeno was driving the plane to go up and down already, trying to get a reaction out of Dufort.
"Are you having fun Zatch" Megumi asked while driving
"Unu" Zatch said looking down at the ground but not afraid
Megumi made the plane go up and down anyways to try and scare Tia who was behind them.
Later Megumi and Tia set up a picnic for lunch
"Really you made lunch for all of us" Kiyo asked surprised
"You think an Idol couldn't do household duties" Megumi retorted
"Well Thanks" Haru thanked while getting two lunch boxes and giving one to Sugino
Megumi passed out a few more lunch boxes to Kiyo, Dufort and Zeno.
"That's right… Zatch this lunch…box" Tia was cut off
"Unu Thanks Tia for helping out my brother, he might be a pain but he means well" Zatch stated putting his arm around Zeno who was wearing only a t shirt and boxers since his cloak was ruined and was still mending itself
"I didn't really need her help" Zeno mumbled in a low voice
"Oh Tia you made a" Kiyo was cut off by Dufort
"What you doing" Kiyo responded pushing away Dufort's hand
"We're even now" Dufort stated referring to Tia
"Wha?" Kiyo was confused
"Is there something you want to tell me Tia?" Zatch asked with a smile
"…This is for…You…Zatch" Tia said handing Zatch a lunchbox with hugged sized portions of rice and fish
"Really thanks a lot Tia" Zatch thanked accepting the offer
"Eat up, I made it with all my heart" Tia said with a smile glad that she made the lunchbox for Zatch
The group went on one last ride
"What a crazy day" Kiyo said
"But I had fun" Tia stated
"It wasn't too bad" Sugino admitted
"This was my first day off, Thank you Kiyo let's do it again" Megumi said enjoying her time
"Unu let's play together again soon" Zatch said excited
"I'm not sure I'll be able to survive another time" Sugino retorted
"So Zatch how was Tia's lunch she made you" Zeno said in a teasing way
Zatch knew what to say to not get Tia mad.
Tia had a blush going while waiting for Zatch's answer
"It was really good" Zatch answered the right way.
"Love birds" Zeno and Sugino said at the same time
"Shut up" Tia yelled while strangling Sugino
"Hey come on man" Haru said trying to break up the fight
