Chapter 48 the Strange professor
Authors note: since Zatch was never beaten, Zatch never ended up crying inside Ponygon's little dog house, so therefore Ponygon never felt guilty for not helping, so therefore Ponygon never met the guy who's face looks like a horse and steals stuff for a living. Oh… I hate writing the part when I have to describe the Majestic 12
There was an old man wearing a magician outfit with a top hat with a question mark on it, he was entertaining some kids at the park with a puppet looking child on his shoulder.
The magician threw his hand out and out came flowers "Valla flowers came out" the magician said
"Ooo amazing" the kids were impressed
"How, what?" one kid said
The magician laughed "That's because I'm doctor riddles" Doctor Riddles said. "Isn't that right kid?" Dr. Riddles asked
"Yes there's nothing that the Doctor Riddles can't do" Kido played the part of a puppet
"The doll is talking?" one kid said
"No it's not, that's called Triloquism" Naomi pointed out
"Exactly, you sure know a lot little girl" Doctor Riddles said. "How about this?" Dr. Riddles flicked his fingers and birds started to fly out of Naomi's mouth and shirt with ropes attached to their feet.
Naomi was then lifted into the sky by the birds
Dr. Riddles started laughing to Naomi's dismay.
"That's mean Doctor, you shouldn't laugh like that." Kido stated.
Doctor Riddles calmed down a little "That's right, I should lower his down" doctor Riddles said then the birds released Naomi sending her back down to earth. "Are you alright?" Doctor Riddles asked
"Y…You are something" Naomi responded
"I'm sorry but did you have fun?" Both Doctor Riddles and Kido said at the same time shocking the little girl.
(You…You two just talked at the same time)Naomi thought in shock
"Now we should be going Kido" Doctor Riddles said leaving the park
"Yes" Kido responded.
While at a dinner, Doctor Riddles and Kido were in a booth, Kido had a booster.
"That's mean Doctor. You shouldn't bully them" Kido stated
"hahaha.. Sorry I didn't mean to" Riddles responded. "But, it's because Kido did his Doll act" Doctor Riddles responded
"That's right" Kido said. "Because I'm really a mamodo" Kido said happily
"Yes, you're a mamodo who holds amazing power" Doctor Riddles said waving his arms about in the air.
"Thanks for waiting" A staff worker handed Doctor Riddles and Kido two plates of food which was Chahan (I don't know what it's either… It looks like rice… maybe with some fish).
"Yeah it's Chahan, It's CHAHAAN" Kido said excitedly
"Kido want to know a tasty of eating Chahan?" Doctor Riddles asked putting his index finger up.
"There are other ways other than using Ketchup?" Kido asked going for the Ketchup
"Let me show you" Doctor Riddles said pulling a bunch of mini flags out of his nose then putting it in his food, he then started to chow down his meal.
"No fair, no fair, I want to do it too" Kido complained while waving his arms in the air
"Not yet Kido, can't do it yet" Doctor Riddles said stalling for time
"I want to do it too" Kido complained
"When Kid gets bigger, you will also be able to pull flags out of your nose" Doctor Riddles explained with a smile
"Really" Kido responded with a large smile
"Kidding" Doctor Riddles responded but was still smiling
Kido became shocked at the news.
"Doctor Riddles the battle this time… How many and what kind of people are they?" Kido asked
"There are four of them, two humans which are Kiyo Takamine a junior high student but is very gifted and smart, a young man that simply goes by the name of Dufort and seems to know the answer to every solution which comes in handy during battle." Doctor Riddles explained
"And what about the mamodo?" Kido asked
"They are the princes of the mamodo world, one is Zatch Bell who inherited Baou and is rumored to be a great strategist, the other twin is Zeno Bell who is slightly stronger than his brother and unlike his brother, he will not show any mercy to his opponents, Both are able to shoot lightning among other things related to that element" Doctor Riddles
"The Twin Princes, they're very powerful aren't they?" Kido said very worried since he has heard of their names before.
"Who know? Nobody has been stronger than us so far" Doctor Riddles responded. "That's because you are the most powerful mamodo of all" Doctor Riddles explained with a smile.
"Really' Kido said excited
"Kidding" Doctor Riddles quickly dashed Kido's hopes
"Awww" Kido responded
"In reality one cannot be sure" Doctor Riddles said
"That's right. There really isn't anything the Doctor doesn't know" Kido said finishing a drink
"Well of course. My name is Doctor Riddles. The Amazing Know-it-all Doctor" Doctor Riddles proclaimed in a calm manner. "About this book and about your homeland the mamodo world" Doctor Riddles stated with a serious look of swirling like eyes.
Meanwhile with Zatch and the gang
"Hey Zeno now we have the same amount of spells" Zatch said while playing with his Vulcan
"Maybe we should have Dufort start training us…"Zeno stated while lying on Kiyo's bed watching TV
"He'll end up making us go where there's no one around or where there's nothing to do" Zatch complained
"Where is Dufort anyhow he should be coming back any minute now right?" Kiyo asked Zeno
"…" Zeno remained quiet but picked up Kiyo's clock
"Hey Zeno?" Kiyo said getting a little annoyed
All of a sudden the doorbell rung
"Dufort's here" Zatch said with a smile
"Why would he ring though? He would just walk right in. Go see who it is Zatch" Kiyo said getting up off of the computer chair
"There's no need…" Kido was cut off by Zeno throwing Kiyo's cloak in his face nearly causing Kido to fall out the window.
"That's what you get for not knocking first" Zeno stated now getting off the bed to see who he just attacked
"A mamodo?" Kiyo said looking at the window to see Kido jump back up on the window seal
"That was mean you shouldn't attack people you don't know" Kido complained while rubbing his head
"…then who are you?" Zatch asked
"I'm Kido, You two must be Zatch and Zeno right?" Kido introduced himself
"I need another clock" Zeno said while looking around the room
"The professor is waiting outside, hurry and get the book and come outside" Kido requested
(Shit is Zatch even ready for another battle?) Kiyo thought looking at Zatch and grabbing the Red Book
"Found one" Zeno proclaimed then threw a large text book at Kido who dodged it then jumped out the window
"Will you stop goofing around" Kiyo shouted with an oni face at Zeno who didn't really care what Kiyo had to say. "You're throwing things out the window, Dufort isn't here, And we have another mamodo battle on our hands, most of all…" Kiyo shouted the silver haired boy
While being lectured by Kiyo (Shut up, shut up, shut up…He's still talking. Shut up) Zeno kept on thinking to himself
"Most of all, Zatch might not be ready for another battle" Kiyo explained
"I'm fine Kiyo really" Zatch responded
Zeno started to pay attention "Don't worry about that, I got this fight, I'll fight them without Dufort if I need to" Zeno explained
"No we're not letting you fight him without Dufort" Kiyo responded
"Unu I can handle it Zeno" Zatch reinsured
The three met Doctor Riddles and Kido along with 12 other people behind them outside
"So you came out. You seem to be missing a person called Dufort if I remember." Doctor Riddles pointed out
Zeno all of a sudden started to laugh
"Why is that boy laughing so hard? I haven't even introduced myself yet" Doctor riddles responded
"…I…Can't help it…what's with…that outfit?" Zeno said between laughs. "Kiyo…and Zatch…was workup for…Nothing" Zeno said still laughing hectically
"What this?" Doctor Riddles lifted up his cape. "Of course, it's because I'm the Amazing Doctor riddles" Doctor Riddles explained
Zeno started laughing even harder which caused Zatch to start laughing a little
"I heard the silver haired boy was shrewd, but this is just out right Rude." Doctor Riddles made a rhyme
"That boy is very mean, he threw a clock at my head" Kido complained
Zeno slowly stopped laughing "How do you know us?" Zeno asked now getting serous
"In fact I know all about you four" Doctor Riddles responded
The three then took defensive positions
"There's no need to prepare to fight! Your fight is not with me!" Doctor riddles made another riddle
"My servants will be your opponents, my servants , the amazing group born in America the Majestic 12" Doctor Riddles said showing of the 12 people behind him.
"Can they be my warm up?" Zeno asked while cracking his knuckles
"There are 12 more people we have to fight?" Kiyo said opening the red book
Zatch jumped in front of his twin brother and Kiyo "I'll handle them" Zatch proclaimed
"Yes and each one has a special ability, I'll introduce them all" Doctor Riddles said
"Two Lightning eye, able to shoot beams from both eyes" Doctor Riddles introduced a guy shooting beams out of his eyes
"Rocket foot, with the ability to run at 300 mph" Doctor Riddles introduced him
"Flying Beat, the warrior with the ability to fly like a plane" Doctor Riddles introduced a guy with wings and a engine
"Second sight, with the ability to see through everything" Doctor Riddles introduced a guy with a star trek helmet on
"Dinosaur arm, with the arm power of a dinosaur" Doctor Riddles introduced a large man
"Wonderful to the future, the man with the power of Foresight" Doctor Riddles introduced
"Psycho Jungle, a wild man with telekinetic power" Doctor Riddles introduced
"Fire Elbow, the one that can control fire at will" Doctor Riddles introduced a guy spitting out fire
"Sounds interesting" Zeno said looking at them all
"Big Boing" Doctor Riddles introduced a women with large boobs
"Blizzard thing, the young one with the power to freeze" Doctor Riddles introduced a guy spitting out ice
"Tremor Mole, with the ability to move at high speed underground" Doctor Riddles introduced a guy coming out of the ground with double sided drills
"Telepath Radar, the control tower for all the abilities" Doctor Riddles introduced a guy with a bunch of pole like objects sticking out of his head
"And now" Doctor Riddles yelled out. "Among these people, who doesn't belong?" Doctor Riddles asked with a smile
Kiyo was shocked and but knew the answer
"Big boing" Kiyo responded
"Correct, as would be expected from the most outstanding child prodigy in the world you saw right through it" Doctor Riddles said then started leaving along with the other 12 people. "Let's meet again, Zatch, Zeno and Kiyo" Doctor Riddles stated
Zatch started to wave them off goodbye
Zeno and Kiyo stood there not knowing what was going on.
"Wait! Come BACK its laser eyes, Kiyo's wrong he doesn't know what he's talking about, now FIGHT US" Zeno begged while bored out of his mind
"They're leaving" Kiyo responded
"Awww… but I'm bored" Zeno complained
"They will come back, so let's tell Dufort what happened" Kiyo explained then walked back inside, the twins soon followed
The next day
"He's here" Dufort said then a few seconds later the door bell rung and Doctor Riddles walked through the front door with Kido on his shoulder
"What did you come for?" Kiyo asked
"I came to fight" Doctor Riddles responded
"What happened to the majestic 12?" Zatch asked while looking behind Doctor Riddles
"The MJ 12 are on a mission to mars, right Professor?" Kido said
"Kid…ding" Doctor Riddles responded
Kido was shocked by the news once again.
"They already went back to America, they already served their purpose" Doctor Riddles explained
(He brought them over for just a riddle?)Both Zeno and Kiyo thought
"So are you guys going to fight or not?" Doctor Riddles asked. "Of course this fight is between two mutual mamodo" Doctor Riddles explained
"Fine by me. Me and Dufort will take you on" Zeno explained
"The one with no last name or family?" Kido said rudely
"Yeah that's true" Doctor Riddles said with a grin.
Dufort came at the front door with the silver book
"For a person to have the answer to everything, you sure don't know much do you?" Doctor Riddles asked
"What do you mean by that?" Dufort responded with his answer talker becoming active
"About your past, about your family" Doctor Riddles responded, this statement shocked the entire room but it mostly reverberated through Dufort who's eyes were now wide open and a grin was growing across Dufort's face.
"You know? You know where she is?" Dufort asked with a serious look of wanting to beat the answers out of the old man.
"Of course, the Doctor knows everything" Kido responded
Dufort's eyes lit up as well as Zeno's
(It looks like I'll be able to fulfill that promise I made to him)Zeno thought with a wide grin
"There's no point in talking about the books or the mamodo world since you already know because the prince twins already told you, but if you want to know my information then you'll just gonna have to defeat me, if that happens then I'll tell you Dufort" Doctor Riddles proclaimed
"Don't leave any detail out when I beat you" Dufort ordered with the silver book in his hands already glowing brightly
"Ready for the fight are we?" Dr. Riddles said then walked out the door to show them where they would be battling
"Should we hold back?" Zeno asked
"Just enough for where we don't burn their book, and for where the Intel doesn't die" Dufort explained
A smile grew across Zeno's face "That one favor is going to be fulfilled soon" Zeno responded
"Huh? What favor?" Zatch asked
"It's a secret" both Zeno and Dufort responded
The gang arrived at a river side, Zatch and Kiyo sat on the hill to watch the battle
"You'd better not be lying" Zeno shouted to Dr. Riddles
"Boy, I'm Doctor…" Dr. Riddles was cut off
"Zaker" Dufort shouted with the silver book glowing intensely
Zeno shot a medium sized Zaker spell at Dr. Riddles and Kido
"Zegar" Dr. Riddles countered
A cannon formed out of Kido's mouth and fired an energy beat at Zaker which both met on in a collision and cancelled each other out creating an explosion
"You'll have to try harder than that if you want your answers" Dr. Riddles laughed.
"…" Dufort gave them a cold death like stare but with the silver book glowing as brightly as Dr. Riddles
"You can handle the book well I see, Zerusen" Dr. Riddles chanted out with the his book glowing even more brightly
Kido's hands turned into giant machine like fists and fired them straight toward Dufort and Zeno
"Zaker" Dufort countered
Zeno swiped his hand in the sky destroying the oncoming fists
"Dufort can I?" Zeno asked
"Go ahead, remember don't kill them" Dufort responded
"What's this?" Dr. Riddles asked as Zeno got into a running position
"You will tell us what we want to know!" Zeno shouted then charged Dr. Riddles at full speed
"Zegar" Dr. Riddles countered
The beam came toward Zeno; Zeno simply jumped into the air and dodged it
"Fine then I'll go after your partner, Ganzu Zegar" Dr. Riddles shouted, Kido aimed his muti-cannon at Dufort and started firing multiple Zegars at Dufort
Dufort ended up dodging every single shot with relative ease only getting a few cuts
"Raajia Zaker" Dufort chanted out while approaching in on his enemy
Zeno dived from the sky towards Doctor Riddles and Kido with lightning streaming out of his hand
Doctor Riddles was stunned by their move but countered as quickly as possible "Amu Zegar" Doctor Riddles shouted out
Kido's arm became a large robot's arm, and Kido used it to clash with Zeno's spell but to no avail, Zeno's spell easily overpowered Kido's attack and Zeno created a shockwave at point blank range near Kido, Dr. Riddles ran faraway to avoid the attack.
Dufort made the spell book create a gap in the spell for he could slip through the attack
"Kido you alright?" Dr. Riddles asked as Kido struggled to get back up.
"Yeah… I'm fine." Kido responded
"Give up" Dufort demanded
"I will thank you for going easy on Kido and making that gap for you and him, you truly know how to control that book" Dr. Riddles said
"I had a role in it as well" Zeno said while dusting himself off
"Fine I'll give you a clue, a riddle" Doctor Riddles said putting up his index finger
"Red on the top, green underneath, what's the name of my pet?" Dr. Riddles asked
"Red and green" Dufort responded quickly
"Correct" Dr. Riddles said. "Next what country in Europe is known for their high quality iron works and silver wear?" Dr. Riddles asked
"Germany" Dufort responded quickly
"That's correct, Zegaruga" Doctor Riddles shouted
Kido was now near Dr. Riddles and shot a very concentrated beam blast toward
"Zakerga" Dufort countered but only used less than half of the strength
Zeno shot the weak Zakerga toward the Zegaruga and both cancelled out and created an explosion
"If you want more information then you'll have to win" Doctor Riddles mocked
"…Zeno… Let's have some fun…" Dufort said with a near sadistic smile
(Never seen him act this way before…is this a good thing… or a bad thing…) Zeno wondered
"Zeno I need your help, I need your power, please grant me it" Dufort nearly begged shocking Zeno and Dr. Riddles
A smile grew across Zeno's face "I'll be glad to" Zeno responded then picked Dufort up by using his cloak.
The silver book started glowing with a new spell
"Sorudo Zakerga" Dufort called out
Zeno summoned a large lightning sword which just screamed of intimidation
"Right" Dufort ordered
Zeno dashed to the right as lightning speed
"This isn't good, Koburuk" Dr. Riddles chanted out
"What do we do?" Kido shouted
"We use an attack that they can't dodge"
"Left 20 meters" Dufort told Zeno
Zeno dashed 20 meters to the left
"Raja Zerusen" Doctor Riddles chanted out
Kido summoned a large mechanical fist that fired at Dufort and Zeno
"Up, then upward swing" Dufort told Zeno
Zeno jumped into the air and ended up beneath the giant fist
"Take this" Zeno shouted out while slashing the bottom of the giant fist cutting it straight in half it then exploded
"Doctor!" Kido shouted
"They positioned themselves just right to take on the spell, Ganzu Zegar" Doctor Riddles shouted
Kido made a mini gun that shot multiple energy blasts
Zeno swiped all of the attacks with his sword with the directions of Dufort, Zeno kept on moving closer.
"It's not working" Kido start panicking
Zeno then appeared above Doctor Riddles and Kido, Zeno then swung his sword downward onto Kido
"Zeburuk" Dr. Riddles countered in order to save Kido life
The lightning sword smashed down into the ground creating a large explosion
Kido was seen running out of the smoke with half of his body moments later.
"Kido I'll end the spell now" Dr. Riddles said ending the spell making Kido's body return to normal
Zeno dashed and appeared behind Kido once again
"Fort" Zeno shouted as he swung his sword like a golf club and sent Kido flying into the sky
"…" Dr. Riddles watch Kido go flying with slight shock.
"Now tell me everything you know" Dufort demanded as he got off of Zeno's cloak
"Well…" Dr. Riddles tried running away but Zeno blocked his path
"How do you know anyhow?" Dufort asked
"When knowing one needs allies one needs to do research" Dr. Riddles responded
"Then tell me" Dufort demanded
Doctor Riddles hesitated for a moment "somewhere in the town of Bremen, and that's all I know" Doctor Riddles explained
"So why did you really come here" Kiyo asked while walking up to Dufort and Zeno, Zatch was behind Kiyo.
Doctor Riddles started to walk away "It's because the evil ones are gathering their forces and I need every ally to help in this dire situation" Doctor Riddles explained
Doctor Riddles went to go find Kido
"So are we going?" Zeno asked Dufort
"No, we'll wait for now" Dufort responded
