Zatch Bell Equestrian Battles!

It was a beautiful Morning! The sun was shining, birds were singing, and everything was right with the world. However, in a small town in America, a young teen was about to be flung into a series of events that would change his life forever.

"Kiyo! Don't you think about skipping school again!"

"Why bother I'm smarter than everyone anyways."

This young man is Kiyo Takamine. Just turning 14 years old and moving to a new country he has had a lot of adjusting to do but it hasn't been very difficult. Kiyo Takamine has always been smarter than the average teenager, in fact, he can match wits with most college professors most would call him a prodigy.

Currently, Kiyo was trying to read a book as his mother tried to convince him to go to school. But...

"That attitude is exactly why those bullies pick on you so much!" His mother shouted as she banged on the door.

"WHO CARES! I don't want to be friends with those bunch of brainless losers anyways!"

"Hey, Mr. Rude Boy! That isn't any way to talk to your mother!" Someone's voice shouted from outside.

Kiyo turned around towards his window and saw something truly bazaar. Outside his window was a boy hanging onto what looked like an Eagle with a yellow tail strapped to his back. The boy appeared to be around 6 years old and had lightning blond hair and for some odd reason, he was naked.

"Ok....I guess no more snacks before bed." Kiyo said as he went back to bed.

"DONT YOU IGNORE ME!" The boy shouted as he and the eagle broke through the window.

Kiyo stood in shock as the bird dropped the strange boy and swooped back through the window.

"Your professor Takamine's son, Kiyo Takamine, right?" The boy asked as he put his stuff on the ground.

"Who the heck are you! And why in the world did you bust through my window like that!?" Kiyo shouted as the strange boy handed him a letter.

"I'm here cause your father asked me to help you. My name is Zatch bell and he asked me to hand this letter to you Kiyo." The boy, now known as Zatch, explained while Kiyo examined the letter.

"Dear Kiyo, Congratulations on your 14th birthday. I know this may sound a little strange but the boy who delivered this letter is named Zatch Bell. I found him in a forest in England and saved his life when I took him home. Then he told me he would like to return the favor."

Kiyo could just imagine his father doing something as crazy and bizarre as this. He had always been kinda eccentric and out of the ordinary but this was a whole new level for him!

"Zatch may be a little off but he's a very good boy. Unfortunately, he seems to have lost most of his memories. The red book with him seems to be the only clue to his past, however, I wasn't able to interpret it. Maybe with your intelligence, you can decode the book and help Zatch retain his memories."

Kiyo turned around to see Zatch trying to scarf down the yellow tail as it flopped around on his bed. He watched with a deadpan expression as Zatch scarfed down every bite of the fish, even the bones!

"Please study the book and help him get home safely Love, Dad?" Kiyo read aloud as he looked at the strange red book.

Suddenly Zatch jumped up on his desk and startled Kiyo so much that he fell out of his seat.

"For now on I'll be in charge of your training and you'll have to take care of me!" Zatch explained as he jumped off the desk and finally put some clothes on which happened to be a strange blue and black cloak that had a white bow and yellow jewel in the middle of the bow.

"I have no intention of being tutored! Especially by some little brat like you! ZAKER OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS!" Kiyo shouted as he tried to punch him.

However, Zatch suddenly spun around while both of his pupils suddenly disappeared as he opened his mouth as a yellow light began to form. With a loud bang, a giant explosion caused the room to go up in smoke as Kiyo was thrown into the wall.

"W-WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS!?" Zatch shouted as his cloak fell over his head.

"Was that lightning!? What kind of monster are you!" Kiyo shouted as Zatch finally got his cloak off his head.

"Zatch Bell Like I said!" He explained before having to hiccup which caused a small spark to flow out of his mouth.

Later on after getting his room cleaned up Zatch, Kiyo, and his mother discussed what to do next in the kitchen.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF HIM IF I STAY HOME!?" Kiyo shouted as he slammed his bowl on the table.

"Don't argue with me! Your father sent Zatch here to help you and thats that!" She exclaimed with a stern expression while holding Zatch in her arms.

"Give me a break mom! This guy can shot lightning out of his mouth!" Kiyo exclaimed while his mother raised an eyebrow.

"Don't be ridiculous! He can't do any such thing, right Zatch?"

"Yeah I think Kiyo has been reading WAY to many comic books!"

"He's trying to play dumb. Fine, then I'll just go to school then!" Kiyo exclaimed as he got up and went upstairs to get dressed.

"Why didn't I think of that!?" Kiyo's mother said sarcastically.

After getting dressed in a white button-up shirt and some jeans, Kiyo walked back downstairs to see Zatch and his mother talking with one another. However, Kiyo was more interested in the red book Zatch had in the hood of his cloak and remembered how his father couldn't decode it.

"I'm just gonna borrow this." Kiyo said as he ran past them and snatched the book from Zatch while his mother shouted at him.

"I'm sorry Zatch he's always been like that. It's one of the reasons he doesn't make many friends."

"Would you like Kiyo to make some friends Mrs. Takamine?" Zatch asked with a smile.

"O-Of course!"

"Then leave it up to me! I'll make sure Kiyo has so many friends he won't know what to do with them! I won't let you down!" Zatch exclaimed as he jumped out of his seat.

"Thank you Zatch but I want you to be his friend too ok?"

"Of course! I'll be his number one friend numero uno!" Zatch said as ran out the door and chased after Kiyo.

Meanwhile, Kiyo was sitting in class trying to solve the mystery that was the red book. No matter how many times he flipped through the pages he couldn't read a word of it, except for one passage.

"What kind of book is this? I've never seen this kind of writing before! I wonder what language it is?" Kiyo thought as he reread the page over and over again.

"Hold on......What's this? The first spell Zaker? How come I can only read the parts in red ink?" Kiyo thought as he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Mr. Takamine? Come Solve the equation on the blackboard."

"Minus 5-XY Squared to the sixth." Kiyo deadpanned as the teacher gritted his teeth.

"Thats correct......Sit down."

Kiyo sat back down with a bored expression, however, out of his prereferral vision Zatch had managed to sneak in wearing some kind of sports bag disguise.

"Wow Kiyo! You really are smart!" Zatch thought as he watched Kiyo with child-like enthusiasm.

"What a simple equation....." Kiyo thought as turned his attention elsewhere.

"Who does he think he is?"

"He's so stuck up!"

"If you don't need to study then just go home!"

As the class gossiped amongst themselves Kiyo drowned out the voices. By now he was used to this it was just like back at his old school so nothing had really changed except for the location.

"There's gotta be some reason to be here..."

After class Kiyo immediately packed up his things and started to walk out the door. Zatch silently watched as he followed closely behind, however, while Kiyo was walking away a happy bubbly voice called out to him.

"Hey, Kiyo! Don't tell me you're going home already!? It's not even lunchtime!" The girl with the cotton candy-like haircut exclaimed as she came bouncing after him.

"You haven't been here very often so why not stay for a while?"

"Why bother? Not like anyone wants me here anyways." Kiyo exclaimed not even turning to address her.

Ever since he came to this new school this girl, Pinkie Pie, kept pestering him. She has been incredibly persistent to the point of being annoying and she was always talking about some kind of party she's gonna throw.

"If you're bored with class you could always help with my studies again~." Pinkie begged which seemed to send Kiyo over the edge.

"Just mind your own business! I'm sick and tired of this stupid school anyway!" Kiyo shouted at Pinkie which didn't seem to phase her by much.

"But when you tutored me in math it was like super easy to understand! Even for a squash-brain like me! You really are a genius Kiyo!" Pinkie said with her usual bubbly attitude.

"JUST BE QUITE AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kiyo shouted as he turned around and stormed off only to stop when he heard an annoyingly familiar voice.

"SHAME ON YOU KIYO! CAN'T YOU SEE SHE'S ONLY TRYING TO BE NICE TO YOU! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO MEAN!"

Kiyo turned around and nearly felt his eyeballs shot out of their sockets as he saw Zatch standing behind him in some kind of ridiculous get-up.

"Hi! Are you one of Kiyo's friend too?" Pinkie asked as she kneeled down to his level.

"I'm Zatch Bell!"

"Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Scartch!" Pinkie said oblivious to the fact that she said it wrong.

"Um....No, it's Zatch." Zatch tried to explain only for Kiyo to interrupt them.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE!?" Kiyo shouted while Zatch stared blankly at Kiyo's demon like expression.

"Well, I came here to help." Zatch explained bluntly as Kiyo grabbed him.

"You can't just follow me around!" Kiyo whispered as everyone in the halls stared at them.

Kiyo suddenly grabbed Zatch and sprinted down the hall only to suddenly rush past a very angry looking girl with red and orange hair. It only lasted for a second but Kiyo could swear he saw her glaring at him.

Afterward, Kiyo and Zatch had run outside to the trash furnace where Kiyo tried to explain to Zatch that he couldn't just follow him to his school, however, no matter how much he tried Zatch didn't seem to retain anything that he had said.

"Look Zatch you can't just-"

"ALRIGHT KIYO! ITS TIME WE START, OPERATION: HERO OF JUSTICE!" Zatch exclaimed with enthusiasm while Kiyo sighed as he realized that he couldn't reason with him.

"There are probably tons of bullies at this school! So your gonna beat them up and make a ton of friends!" Zatch explained while Kiyo imagined himself in a cliche superhero costume standing over a bully while the school cheered him on.

"What are you talking about! That kind of stuff never works!"

"Alright.......Then let's try getting on our knees and begging them to be your friends!" Zatch suggested as he drew a picture of them both bowing to the class.

"THATS AN EVEN WORSE IDEA!" Kiyo exclaimed only to suddenly got a spark of inspiration.

"Hey, Zatch.....I got an idea." Kiyo said with a mischievous grin.

However, what he didn't realize was that a certain girl from earlier was listening in on his conversation and with a dark grin she pulled out her cell phone and started typing away.

"I like this kid....Might be worth the effort to see what he does to that brat. Especially after what I have planned." She thought as she sent the message while cackling to herself.
