Chapter 4: Zakira's Lair:

Miko's POV:

So, Ray and I are now teaming up to take down Zakira, but we don't know where he is.

"I figured he was in England," says Ray, "that's where he's from."

"By that logic, Jackie Chan should be in China," I said.

"Well, we did run into his bird there," says Ray.

"Good point," I said, "but how do we get to England?"

"I have a good travel plan," says Ray.

. . .

We rode Bob to England. "This time, I shall defeat that bird," says Bob.

"So, this thing is like you," I asked.

"Yes," says Bob, "the Fire Civilization is allied with both Nature and Darkness, so it is possible that a creature from the fire civilization mated with a creature from the darkness civilization, like how my parents mated."

"What about Nature and Darkness," I asked.

"Darkness does not get along with Nature," says Bob, "Darkness' greatest ally is water while their greatest enemy is Light. But Water does get along with Light. And Light is also allied with Nature, another ally of Water." I looked at him. "It's all complicated in my world."

"We're here," says Ray.

. . .

Ray took me to the spot where they got nabbed by the bird.

"And then it was flying over Asia," says Ray.

"Weird," I said, "wait, what if Zakira's lair isn't in England," I brought up, "what if the bird was sent to grab something from England?"

"Then we are in the wrong place," says Ray, "but what did that bird want?"

Allie's POV:

"Go back and bring me Ray," says Zakira, "with all three of them, the Duel Masters will come to my trap and then I can use the artifacts without any interruptions!"

"You won't get away with this," I said.

"Lock them up," says Zakira. Zero then took us away.
