Chapter 58 a Full Moon
…
The entire group was in the large living room hotel. The allies were socializing with each other, trying to get to know each other.
Yopopo was doing his usual dance; Kanchomé and Kido were copying Yopopo.
Penny found Tia, and nearly instantly starting arguing with her about the relationship she had with Zatch Bell.
Zatch, Zeno, Danny, Sugino, and Ponygon were playing a game of gold fish. Ponygon didn't cope well when he found out he couldn't play.
Dr. Riddles, Kiyo, Dufort, Kafk Sunbeam, Mr. Gordo, Apollo, and Wonrei and Li-en were talking about the current situation about Milordo Z (Zofis).
"I've been trying to gather more allies, and that's when I came upon a team just as strong as the twins" Dr. Riddles explained
(Brago) Dufort thought.
"Their names were Brago and Sherry" Dr. Riddles explained
"Zatch and I fought them before…they're pretty strong" Kiyo responded simply.
Dr. Riddles was a little shocked by this information, plus he was disappointed since he wanted to tell the story about him meeting one of the strongest mamodo in the battle for king.
Everyone else heard the news, and was shocked, except for the people who already knew about it.
"You fought Brago!" Kanchomé said to Zatch, who only had 1 card left in his hand.
"Yeah, it was a draw though." Zatch explained
"Next time it won't be" Zeno responded, and then looked at Zatch. "Got any fives?" Zeno asked.
"Goldfish" Zatch said taunted his brother.
(The twins…aren't worried at all about this fight) Dr. Riddles thought
"Why aren't you two worried?" Tia yelled at Zatch and Zeno
The twins looked at each other, then back at Tia.
"We were trained not to worry, it's a waste of energy" Zeno explained
"…Why you…" Tia growled. "You're strong, but not invincible!" Tia retorted.
"My Zatch isn't afraid of anything" Penny proclaimed while trying to hug Zatch.
This of course got on Tia's and Zeno's nerves.
Zatch wiggled away, and spoke up.
"…You're wrong" Zatch responded while looking at the group. "This…will be the biggest fight I've ever been in" Zatch explained.
"Filled with a bunch of weaklings" Zeno mumbled.
Zatch continued talking, "I'm afraid of losing my friends" Zatch stated in a slightly low tone.
"If we all work together, then we'll all make it out of this safely" Dr. Riddles reinsured everyone.
"That's right!" Kido yelled out randomly.
"We're outnumbered 4 to 1, when we work together, we'll be able to take on triple the amount of enemies that lay before us now" Dr. Riddles proclaimed
Everyone seemed to agree with him, and were invoked with confidence.
Zeno sighed, (They're barely be able to keep up with me and Zatch…and now they're talking about taking on even more mamodo) Zeno thought, then laughed a little.
"Since Kiyo's group entered the ruins, we can only assume they will be ready for us tomorrow" Dr. Riddles warned the group.
"In other words, we'll be walking into a trap" Danny responded
"That's what's so great about traps. You can always ruin them" Zeno stated with a grin across his face.
…
Meanwhile in the ruins…
"I understand Byanko" A narcissistic said
Zofis and Koko were in the throne room with the rest of the mamodo.
"After hearing yours and Laila's story, I believe I know why demons disappeared" Zofis stated
"Everyone should be on guard, I will be giving special orders to some." Zofis announced. "And we must find weather or not we have a traitor in our midst." Zofis said looking at her mamodo army.
…
A couple hours later…
Kiyo was outside on the balcony by himself holding a piece of black stone of moonlight.
"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" a voice asked
Kiyo turned around to see Dr. Riddles.
Dr. Riddles saw the piece of stone in Kiyo's hand.
"Is that the stone of moonlight?" Dr. Riddles asked
"Yeah, it lost it's light…" Kiyo explained. "I'm glad to know that there are kind mamodo out there…the girl that gave me this, helped us out in a battle…and she thought what she was doing was wrong" Kiyo explained
"She's called Laila right?" Dr. Riddles responded
"Yeah" Kiyo responded simply.
"Then we must save our energy to save her then" Dr. Riddles proclaimed
"I'll go to bed then" Kiyo responded then walked back into the hotel.
"You should! Tomorrow will be a hard fight" Dr. Riddles told Kiyo.
Dr. Riddles stayed outside for a bit longer.
…
Almost everyone was asleep inside the hotel, except for one mamodo child.
Zeno was on top of the roof of the hotel, with a simple blanket covering him up, he still had on his silver mantle.
Zeno had also been listening to Kiyo and Dr. Riddle's conversation.
"…Tomorrow…We'll be walking right into a trap." Zeno stated to himself, sure of what would happen.
Zeno looked up into the sky, it was a full moon, and some clouds had been faintly covering it, yet the glow of the moon easily broke through the clouds.
(If Zofis thinks I'm foolish enough to fall for any sort of trap…she's…or HE! Is crazy!) Zeno thought to himself as he stood up and threw off the blanket, to only teleport back inside the hotel.
Zeno walked around the hallway a bit, and then opened up a door to where Zatch was sleeping.
And sure enough, Zatch was sleeping soundly along with Ponygon, Kido, and Sugino.
Zeno gently closed the door, for he wouldn't wake up his brother.
"Time to go wake up Dufort…" Zeno said with a grin.
Zeno walked down the hallway, and opened up the door to see Dufort still awake, with the silver book by his side, and the remote to the TV in his hand…needless to say, Dufort was watching TV.
"Get ready, we're leaving" Zeno told Dufort
Dufort gave out a sigh, and put the silver book in a green bag that was full of supplies.
"Weren't we supposed to wait till tomorrow?" Dufort asked the boy.
"Yeah…but Dr. Riddles plan is stupid" Zeno stated
"And yours is any better?" Dufort retorted.
Zeno thought about it for a moment.
"Well…at least I won't be walking into a trap…plus I'll be able to disable the trap they have set up for tomorrow" Zeno explained
"…You still don't wish to work with the others?" Dufort responded
"…You could say that…then again" Zeno looked at Dufort with an evil grin.
Zeno's cloak started to waver in the air, even though there was no wind.
"Maybe I just want all the fun to myself" Zeno stated then walked closer to Dufort. "I plan on making my enemy's life a living hell, by the time the sun rises, the enemy won't have a chance to sleep." Zeno explained his plan.
"…That means we won't be able to sleep" Dufort responded, silently hating Zeno's plan.
"Yeah…what of it?" Zeno responded while grabbing on to Dufort's hand.
"…Fine, let's go" Dufort said.
Zeno's cloak wrapped around Dufort, and Zeno teleported out of the hotel, and straight into the ruins where they last fought Victoreem.
"Shall we wake them all up?" Zeno asked Dufort
Dufort pulled out the silver book.
"If I can't sleep, then neither shall they" Dufort coldly stated.
The night sky soon became light up in a blue shade, the ruins soon rumbled, and powerful presence made itself obvious to the castle, that there was an intruder.
"Raajia Zakeru" Dufort yelled out.
Zeno jumped into the air and slammed his fist against the cliff side of the castle, which unleashed a large shockwave of blue lightning.
Zeno landed gently back onto the ground.
"Let the games begin" Zeno stated as he and Dufort walked deeper into the ruins of the castle and headed for the top…
