Kolulu Bell: Chapter 11 Kolulu's mirror quest Part 2

The next morning Shion in her bathroom, washing her face. Yesterday she asked Zatch for the mirror but he was to persistence to give it away.

                                                   Flash Back

Shion was in daze of looking at such a beautiful. "The Mirror's beautiful. Can I have it, Zatch?" The way Shion said was like a lustful tone.

But Zatch kept it a few feet away from Shion. "Huh!? No I'm sorry. I made a promise I protect it" Zatch said.

                                                   Flash Back Ends.

"Since Zatch won't give me the mamodo mirror, I have no choice" Shion then started felt as if she was crying, but she tried to stay strong. "I'm sorry, I have to do it! This could all be avoided if he just give it to me" Shion then saw Nya, while he mews to her. "Oh Nya, if we don't get that....mirror, we'll be-" She couldn't finished, after she hugged her cat.


At the Lori's house in which Kolulu tries to tell Lori. "Zatch told me that Nya is Shion's friend. But what he doesn't know is that I saw his aura when I lay eyes on him" Kolulu explained. "So he must be a nice mamodo, nothing wrong with that," Lori said. "Yeah, I mean look at Ponygon," Kolulu responded, "When I saw him, I saw his aura too, and he seems nice" Kolulu continued. "And I bet Shion is Nya's human partner." "Yeah, but they probably don't know we know Nya's a mamodo and that you are one too, so for this one time, we'll keep it that way unless we have to tell them, or they find out themselves," Lori said. "Good enough for me, but one thing gets me," Kolulu said, "They could of fought alongside with Zatch and Kiyo, why didn't they?" Kolulu questioned.


As Lori was walking close to see Kiyo, she saw Shion and Nya with Kiyo and Zatch. They headed to school with Zatch playing with Nya. "Zatch you haven't left it behind have you?" Kiyo asked. "It?" Lori was confused to what he meant at first. "Oh it. It's alright. I be in big trouble if I forgot *it*, so I put *it* in your bag" Zatch answered. "And why is *it* in my bag?" Kiyo asked. "Because your bag is a absolute safest place for *it*" Zatch asked.

"Could they be talking about the mamodo mirror" Lori thought to herself. "Why am I always the one who has the howl the load!?" Kiyo yelled.  "Zatch, Kiyo" They  I'm really glad that we all become close friends" Kiyo and Zatch were now starting to get confused, and so did Lori. "Even if you do start to dislike me, I really like you both. And that is the honest truth!" Shion was sounding like she regret something. "Shion, what are you talking about?" Lori asked. Zatch then walked to Shion. "What're you saying? What's making you so teary eye all of a sudden!?" Zatch asked.

Shion then turned back to them, putting back on her happy face back on. "I'm just so happy, to have met you both" Shion "Oh, that's nice" Zatch said. "Oh, it's nothing, really. Sorry about that" Shion replied. Lori felt the joys of watching Shion looking happy, but the other part of her was not sure if she should be worried about Shion.

Suzy was watching it and drop some oranges. "Good morning everyone," Suzy greeted shaking. "Good morning Suzy," Kiyo greeted back. "Hiya there, Suzy" Zatch Greeted too. "Suzy come walk with us," Shion asked.

"You must live so close by to be walking with Kiyo," Suzy said. "No actually my house is way over on the other side of town," Shion explained. "Really? So you were lost and coincidentally bumped into him?" Suzy asked. "No, I came all this way special, just to walk with Kiyo," Shion said. Suzy then started to scream in panic. " Walk together? But Kiyo likes to walk to school by himself, don't you Kiyo?" Suzy asked.

"Well actually, it's no trouble really," Kiyo said. Suzy was shocked with jealousy by Kiyo's response. Suzy started muttering about not loosing him and makes crazy skits. Lori was not sure about this. 'Okey, I'm not sure if she's either crazy, or she's jealous' Lori thinked

They made it to school to find it in chaos.

"Whoever parked the elephant in the front of the gym, please remove it," someone said over the intercom.

"Morning" Kiyo spoke as he got in. As he, Shion, Nya, Zatch and Lori went into the classroom finding it in chaos with students small children and animals. Kiyo then freaked out. Shion looked excited to see all this.

Miroshi, Hiroshi and Kane and all the other male students blew their noes, with a 'hmph'. Everyone had their own child and pet. "Wow, a school full of children and pet" Zatch said. "It's amazing" Shion. 'Something tells me I should run away' Lori thinked and decided to leave. All the other boys ran to Shion. She felt scared to what's going to happen next, but then Kiyo stepped in the way. "Alright everybody, calm down!" Kiyo said, but then Miroshi pushed Kiyo out of the way.

"Look at this Shion, this is my pet iguana," Miroshi said showing her his iguana, "His name is Eliot isn't he cute?" "Uh," Shion responded.

"Yeah he is cute," Zatch responded, doing the same eye move as the iguana. "So you want to walk home with me after school today Shion? Huh, doya?" Miroshi asked until Hiroshi shoved him out of the way. "That's nothing, look at my…um…well…horsey sorta thingy," Hiroshi said holding Ponygon.

"That's Ponygon. He's my friend, not yours, give'em back" Zatch said.

"So uh, hows about walking home with me?" Hiroshi asked until Kane shoved him out of the way. "Let me introduce someone. She's a young lady from my neighborhood," Kane said showing Shion Naomi. "Here she is, this is Naomi"

"No…no… not Naomi! What's she doing here!?" Zatch pleaded in fear "She's a whole lot cutter than Zatch, don't you think so?" Kane said Just when Zatch and Naomi had some catching up to do, Lori chuckled. 'If I had known they bring children and pets today, I would've brought Kolulu here too' Lori thinked.

"What is going on?" Kiyo asked. "Meru~meru mey!" Schneider said running on Kiyo on purpose. Lori then decided to leave until she notice someone like the teacher, with a very intimidating expression, then she took a step back in class. "If you're not in the class……officially, then leave now!" As when he was about to step inside, the students noticed that the teacher's wife is standing behind him, giving a giggle.

While all the pets and animals were out of the classroom, it was becoming total chaos out there.

All the students were being seated. "Now everyone, please be seated" the teacher ordered. Lori however turned to see Shion, but something wasn't right about her. 'What's going on? Why do I get the feeling that Shion is after something? Unless' Lori tried to peace it together, when suddenly Shion dropped her eraser. "Ops, I dropped my eraser" Shion giggled, but Lori knew she did it on purpose. 'I knew it!' Lori thought.

Shion then grabbed the bag. "Got it!" and suddenly she tossed it up. Lori here had a smile on her face. 'Little dose she know that I was able to get Zatch be the one to watch over it by himself'


                                                            FLASH BACK

Lori walked to Zatch and sat down to his height. "Zatch, I know you want to protect this treasure, right?" Lori asked. "Right, like I made a promise to be king, I'll make this promise to watch over this mirror piece!" Zatch replied. "That's good, now for now on, you need to be the one to protect it all by your own, Okey?" Lori stated.

"Okey, I will!" Zatch responded as he placed the mirror piece in his back side of the mantle. Lori giggled over Zatch's kindness.


                                                             FLASH BACK END


As Kiyo's bag was spinning out random junk, a blue carrier was launched. "There it is!" Shion shouted ran to the carrier. As soon as she caught it, like a foot ball, "Got it!" She then went grinding to the wall. "Shion!" Kiyo called, worried about her. "Are…are you alright?" Kiyo asked.

"Yes! I finally got a hold of it! I got *it*!" Shion stated.

"What's it?" Kiyo questioned confused.

Then she saw something shocking. Turns out it was not the magic mirror.

"This is *it*?!" Shion said awe struck.

"Uhh, yeah, that's it. Zatch's precious lunch" Kiyo explained.

"His lunch?!" Shion said dumbfounded.

Lori then chuckled. 'Oh, sometimes I even amazed myself' Lori thought to herself. But Lori knew that Shion will not give up yet.

While Shion tried to make many attempts, Lori went to top of the roof and called Kolulu on her phone. "Kolulu, are you there?" Lori spoke. "Yes, I'm here" Kolulu answered.

"You won't believe what I just saw. There were children and pets everywhere!" Lori explained. "Wow! Really?!" Kolulu responded. "Yes, but I also have bad news. It turns out, There's more to Shion and Nya than we thought. She's attempting to get the magic mirror" Lori continued the explanation.

"Should I come in case?" Kolulu asked. "Well, it would be nice though, plus it will be easy to keep the mirror safe" Lori stated. "Will do" Kolulu finished, then she hung up.

During lunch, Lori was trying to enjoy herself with some yellowtail piece. That was until she heard this scream. "Yellowtail!?" Then she notice Zatch eating everyone's yellowtails. "Hey! Cut it out, those arn't your's!" Kiyo tried to get Zatch to stop, but to no avail. "Everybody, protect your yellowtails!" Kiyo proclaimed.

Lori, the only student to protecting it by hiding it in her bag. She then notice Kolulu coming this way. 'Finally, she's here' Lori signed. Then she notice something menacing on Shion's face.

Lori waited outside, then Kolulu showed up. "Well, finally, I was waiting for you all day. School is over now" Lori said. "Sorry, Lori, I had to do more research on where the pieces could have fallen to" Kolulu explained. "Well, Zatch is being walked out of school with Shion, and this time, I got a bad feeling that they are about to fight for the mirror" Lori assured. Kolulu was not liking the sound of it. "Then we better get to them, and fast" Kolulu stated.

In the Mochinoki Park, Zatch, Shion and Nya stopped there. "Why'd you want me to come to the park, Shion?" Zatch Asked. "Zatch, this is the last time, I'm going to ask you, give me that piece of the mirror, right now" Shion spoke.

Zatch held on to his Vulcan that holds the mirror fragment. "I'm sorry, I just can't" Zatch responded. "But I need it. It's very important for me and Nya that I have it!" Shion cry. Zatch held it again, feeling bad for Shion, but he made his promise for Kolulu to keep a close eye on it. "Even so, I made a promise to Kolulu that I keep it safe for her, so I can't do it" Zatch stated.

"Do-do you mean that?" Shion cried again. "Well, this is Kolulu's treasure, and she probably won't like it if I give it to ya. I don't know why you keep asking" Zatch questioned again. The blonde mamodo then shined it to Shion's face.

Now Shion had enough being nice. This time, she meant business. "Then I guess..... it cannot be helped" Shion said, then she had a stern face. "Nya, we'll have to do this the hard one" The mamodo cat then jumped and spins like a ninja, and when he landed, Nya stood close to Zatch on his two legs, like a person.

Kolulu and Lori were trying to make it to the Mochinoki Park as fast as they could run. "We need to hurry, Lori, before Zatch is-" Just when Kolulu was gonna finish, she felt a pinkish purple aura coming from somewhere. "Oh no, we're too late! The battle started!" Kolulu said frantically.

"Then we need to hurry and help him, before it gets worse" Lori and Kolulu turned around and saw Kiyo. "I thought something was up. I've been noticing you and Shion since she came here. So I was right to put my trust in you, Lori" Kiyo finished. Lori nodded.

As soon as they almost arrived, they notice the same purplish glow, and this time they heard 'Peruk' When the spell was chanted, they saw Nya changing into something dark and scary, just like when Kolulu's Zeruk spell would react. Nya grew twice his size and his fur were as sharp as a porcupine's quills. By the time they arrived, Kiyo said his spell. 'Zakar' Zatch shot his lighting blast and deflected them, and just at the neck of time, he grabbed his mamodo and dodged the remaining quill attacks.

When Shion turned around, she had a worried look. "Oh no, Kiyo"

Lori and Kolulu gave Shion a stern look. "What's this about!? You better explain yourself!" Kiyo yelled, despite getting stabbed from the quills.

"Well?! Explain yourself!" Lori shouted. "Why'd you started a fight with Zatch!?"

"What dose it look like!? We're actually your enemy!" Shion replied. "You know as well as I do, that we have to battle"

"No we don't! We don't have to battle!" Kolulu shouted. "She's right" Lori closed her eyes and brought her head down. Shion got awe. "Me and Kolulu don't like to fight. But then a wicked mamodo appeared. She's the worse out of all the other evil mamodo out there. So please, don't make us have to fight back" Lori explained.

When the sun settled, Shion was gone. Kiyo was surprised to what just happened. "They're gone, Kiyo" Zatch said. But Lori and Kolulu were still guarded. It would seem to them it was too soon to talk. "Not quite" Lori said.

"I just said we're friends to trick you. We're really your enemies" Shion said. "That's not true" Kiyo replied. "It is true!" Shion cried back.

"Then why did you say, you were glad to be friends with us!? I was happy for you! And you should be too!" Lori shouted to Shion.

Shion then started to cry, so she read her book. 'Peruk' The purple aura glowed again and more quill attacks head their way. "Shion, you're not the only one with a mamodo who has a wickedness inside when a spell is read!" Lori pulled out the book and read. 'Zeruk' Kolulu went to the same transformation like Nya did and burst out her claws and deflect them with each.

Shion hide behind a tree with Nya. "I...have no other choice!" Shion cried. "But why?" Lori cried back.

Shion looked more sad then ever. "My parents were in a car accident, 6 months ago. I was left all alone. I was so sad and lonely that I couldn't stop crying. Then Nya wondered into my house. Nya saved me from my loneliness. But that happiness didn't last long. Slowly I came to realize there was a battle to become the mamodo king and if Nya's book was destroyed, he would leave me forever!! And that can't happen! I won't let that happen, ever! That's why we have to fight! There's no other way!" Shion explained.

"Kolulu, we have to use Geo La Zerudo" Lori said. "Understood. We can't just fight back, but we can defend ourselves" Kolulu replied. 'Paruk' As the quills shot out again towards Lori and Kolulu, 'Geo la Zerudo' Kolulu summoned the metal claw shield to protect herself from those quills.

After the quill were subsided, Shion then explained something else. "In the middle of all those battles, we met someone... Someone who promised...that Nya and I could be together forever. He told us that if we can collect the three pieces, then we can live together forever"

"So that's the reason you want the mirror" Lori said. "Yes, you found one of those pieces, and then we found the last remaining piece. One sad day, over the course of our travels" Shion said as she remember when she and Nya fell down a pit somewhere and where she found the last piece.

"I don't care about the battle to become the mamodo king. Nya and I just want to be together. But since you hold the last piece of the mirror, we will have to fight you. There's no other choice!" Shion ran somewhere else of the shadows to keep hidden for another sneak attack.

Lori and Kolulu started to cry. They knew how they felt when they wanted each other. They depended on each other. Kolulu got on her knees and let the spell wareoff, turning her back to normal. Zatch and Kiyo looked at the magic mirror piece. "So long. They've been suffering for such a very long time. They must've been suffering more and more in every battle" Zatch cries as well. "Now we have to sacrifice our friendship to protect their own"

"Lori, I...I don't know what to say, except, I feel sorry for them. Imagine if we suffered in such battles!" Kolulu cried. Lori sat with Kolulu and held her. "I know" Lori whimpered.

As Shion's spell book glowed to call another spell. 'Paruk' as the spell was read, thr quills were coming to hit Lori and Kolulu. They looked up at the attack, waiting for it to happen.

"Shion, we don't have to fight! Fighting is not the only option we have, Shion!" As Zatch spoke this statement, Shion was shocked to what she's hearing. "Why can't we trust each other and help each other instead of fighting all the time? There's no point in fighting, but there is a reason for us to help each other to show everyone that all mamodo can be friends!" When Zatch finished, Shion stopped the spell.

Out of nowhere, Shion and Nya appeared from the nightly shadows, now happy. Lori and Kolulu were glad that Shion understand. "Thank you" Kolulu said joyfully. She ran to Zatch to get the mirror piece from him. When he gave it to Kolulu, she showed it to Shion. "Here, it's yours now" Kolulu said.

Nya meowed in excitement. Shion then picked up Nya to her shoulder with tears of joy. "Thank you Kolulu, you too Zatch. Thank you both so much" Shion said. Lori gave out a small chuckle. Kiyo pat Zatch's shoulder. "Good work, Zatch" Kiyo said.

But behind them was both Grisor and Dr.Hakase were watching everything. "So it's complete" Hakase said. "Yes, finally" Grisor said. "Now we can combine the pieces" Hakase said. "And I shall become the mamodo king!" Grisor finished the last statement.

While everything was not getting better, Kolulu was sensing something is not right. What could it be? Whatever it is, she knows she'll have to fight whatever comes her way. "Whoever you are, I'm ready for you" Kolulu thinked to herself.
