Zatch Bell Equestrian Battles!

It's been two days since the incident on the roof and Kiyo has spent these past two days trying to decode the mystery of the red book with no success.

"This is hopeless!" Kiyo shouted as he threw a book on eastern languages onto the pile of books he had collected on foreign and ancient languages.

"I've stayed up for last two days trying to decipher this book but all I've been able to read so far is the passage written in red ink." Kiyo said as he flashed backed to the moment he had read the book on the roof and Zatch unleashed that lightning blast. It was pretty hard to imagine that a kid like Zatch had an ability like that but the bruises don't lie.

"That kid unleashed a powerful electrical shock and he doesn't even realize that he's the one who does it." Kiyo whispered to himself while turning to see Zatch sleeping peacefully on his futon.

"Still.....I can't believe that I stood up to Kane!" Kiyo thought as memories of Kane beating him to a pulp on the roof came back to him.

Kiyo has never felt such a rush in his entire life like the one he felt that day. True he may have gotten the snot beaten out of him but now he finally felt like his life had an inkling of meaning.

"I wonder how he knew I felt so useless before?" Kiyo thought as Zatch suddenly chomped down on his foot.

"OWWW!"

"Ugh...Kiyo why did you have to wake me up! I was dreaming of delicious yellow tail~" Zatch said in a groggy voice while Kiyo glared at him.

"Zatch...." Kiyo said in a threatening voice while Zatch suddenly felt like he was gonna have a bad time.

After Breakfast Kiyo got dressed and made his way towards the front door only to stop when Zatch showed up in his sports bag costume again.

"Kiyo its time we continue Operation: Hero of Justice!" Zatch exclaimed while Kiyo sighed in annoyance.

"I thought I told you that were done with all that!" Kiyo exclaimed while Zatch just ignored him.

"We still have a lot to do! Your father asked me to help you make more friends at school and thats exactly what I'm gonna do!" Zatch proclaimed.

"If this is what its gonna take for you to make friends then you're just gonna have to fight bullies every day!"

"Buz off! Your nothing but trouble for me you little twerp.Plus I'm embarrassed to be seen with you anyways." Kiyo exclaimed with an annoyed look on his face.

"I'm sorry Kiyo I didn't know you were so embarrassed by me." Zatch said as he walked away with a distraught look on his face while Kiyo's mother walked out of the kitchen.

"Kiyo! Zatch is only a little kid, how dare you speak to him like that! Go apologize to him." She demanded as Zatch start fumbling behind the door to the bathroom.

"You should have told me you didn't like the sports bag earlier Kiyo! How about this one?" Zatch said as he walked out wearing a small backpack that he had cut some holes in.

"T-That's not exactly what I meant..." Kiyo deadpanned as he watched Zatch jump into a suitcase, a shopping bag, a potato sack, and all kinds of ridiculous bags.

"Which one finds your fancy?" Zatch asked as he pushed all his costumes over to Kiyo and his mom.

"I think you look good in all of them Zatch but I think the one you usually wear is the best." She said as she held the green sports bag.

"Thats the one I like to!"

Kiyo sighed as he realized that nothing he could say was gonna change the obvious writing on the wall. He put his shoes on and walked out the door with Zatch following closely behind.

Afterward, Kiyo and Zatch were making their way towards school through the park. Zatch was admiring the blooming of the cherry blossoms that had just come into season while Kiyo was still deep in thought about the red book.

"Awe it's such a great day! The Cherry blossoms are blossoming and the river is filled with fish popsicles, just like in my dreams." Zatch explained as bluntly as possible while Kiyo stopped and did a double-take of the river only to see that it had been completely frozen over.

"FISH POPSICLES!"

Kiyo felt his jaw drop as Zatch jumped out of his costume and started chowing down on the frozen fishes.

"W-What the heck? Why is there ice in the parks river when it's the middle of Spring?" Kiyo whispered to himself as he suddenly heard a car horn go off.

Kiyo turned his attention towards the road that ran through the park and saw a man wearing a suit standing in front of a red sports car. Suddenly a giant pillar of ice shot out of the ground in front of the car which caused the driver to throw it in reverse only to get stopped by another ice pillar.

Suddenly Kiyo noticed a boy with icy blue hair and torn up clothes walking behind the man. Not only that but Kiyo also noticed what the man was carrying in his hands.

"That guy has a book! And that Kid! He looks just like Zatch!"

The man threw the driver out and climbed inside while the boy walked over to the passenger side. Suddenly the car engine sprung to life as the carjacker and the boy suddenly sped off. Kiyo wanted to do something, however, something told him that this wasn't the last they would see of them.

later in the day around lunch, Kiyo was on his way to lunch as he heard everyone whispering to each other over both Kiyo and Kane's injuries.

"You hear? Apparently that new kid Kiyo Takamine had a fight with Kane!"

"Seriously? That brainiac? I seriously doubt that guy could ever pick a fight with someone as nasty as Kane. I mean even Sunset Shimmer doesn't like to tango with that guy!"

No matter where Kiyo went the whole school was buzzing with the news. To be honest, Kiyo found it a little annoying. Being the center of attention like this wasn't exactly the most harrowing experince for him.

As Kiyo entered the lunch room he felt his bags get lighter and saw Zatch run towards the lunch line.

"Something smells really good in there Kiyo!" Zatch said as drool ran down the side of his cheek.

"Oh yeah, I forgot the cafeteria is serving Yellow tail burgers today."

"YELLOW TAIL BURGERS!" Zatch shouted as he tried to run past a few people to get his prized burger.

"Hold up Zatch!" Zatch exclaimed as he tried to stop him.

But it was too late Zatch turned into a monster as he tried to take as many yellow tail burgers as he could. However, the only problem was that he couldn't reach them.

"Here you go kid."

Suddenly a girl with rainbow colored hair and a tomboyish appearance handed Zatch one of the burgers which he happily took and swallowed whole with a satisfied look on his face. After that, Kiyo managed to finally catch up only to see the girl standing with Zatch.

"Nice to meet ya!" She said with a cocky grin.
