Kolulu Bell Chapter 4: A chilling battle

Lori was heading back to her house, after getting to the store for groceries. As she opened the door, she saw Kolulu was standing with a awe struck face. 'Kolulu? What's wrong?!' Lori said in worry. Kolulu said no words and showed her the note she found. Lori took the note and read it. "Kolulu and the owner, we have issued a challenge for you to battle us. Refuse, then we will just have fun taking care of your two friends. You will find us in warehouse number 8 in Mochinoki Harbor in 3:00 PM. Don't keep us waiting" Lori dropped the note of fear of what someone mentioning of her two friends.

'What's worse, I found two statues of Tia and Megumi. Come I'll show you' Kolulu stated as she walked up stairs. As they got up to her room, they walked in to see two statues of Tia and Magumi, just like Kolulu said. Lori was shocked beyond repairs at the moment, then she sat down, looking awe in fear. 'I know, and worse part, we have only thirty minutes to be there. Come on Lori, we have to find the mamodo and save our friends' Kolulu said, budging her. Lori then stand up and had a shadow on her eyes. 'Kolulu, let's go' Lori spoke in a strong manner, making her smile. 'If a battle is what they want, then they'll sure have it' Lori continued.


As they walked from their city to the Mochinoki Harbor to the factory in warehouse #8. 'We're here' Lori stated. 'Okey let's do it' Kolulu agreed. Lori looked at the sign that said Ice Locker. 'I wonder if we're facing a mamodo that can use the cold to his advantage' Lori wondered. As they walked up close, the door started to open automatically. They walked to the door and checked the locker inside. 'Let's stay focus. We need to win this, so we can save Megumi and Tia' Lori reminded and Kolulu nodded. 'Hhmm'

Suddenly the door closed and Lori started to feel cold for some reason. She started to shake, holding herself warm. 'Berrghh. It's getting cold here' Lori complained.

'Well I see you came just in time' Lori and Kolulu turned to see mamodo in white suit with a silver on like he's a robot, along with partner ruku. 'I am Robnos, the unbeatable mamodo and I sculpt on my spare time' Robnos introduced himself. The two "sisters" kept themselves at bay, trying to prepare themselves. 'I also enjoy singing, but most of all, I also enjoy picking on weak opponents' Robnos added in joy. 'The statue gift worked perfectly and put me in a great mood. In fact I feel like singing about it!' Robnos continued, but then he suddenly started singing and dancing. '♬You two girls are gonna lose cause when I fight, I autocruise. I am so strong. You are so weak. Surrender your boooooook!♬'

Lori was looking mad as she growled. 'Weak?! How dare you call us weak!' Lori burst. 'I'm sensing hostility within the or my voice?' Robnos responded. Lori pointed at Robnos for that comment about being weak. 'Look here! You may see us as weak, but we are strong! And We will prove it!' Lori said strongly. 'Yeah!' Kolulu responded with Lori. 'Oh relax, you want me to be serious as I dramatically say, "If you attack us, then it's curtains for the hostage!" But I'll be serious when I said I came here to do battle with such a weakling. The hostage was bait to get you fools here' Robnos explained the situation.

'Then let our friends go, or else?!' Lori threaten as she was preparing the book while Kolulu's eyes was turning pink. 'She's acting all big and mighty for a weak girl. Well don't be so sure of yourself!' Robnos gestured. Kolulu clenched her fist for those insults while growling.

'I've been waiting for this, ever since the battle started. Originally I was trying to get to the weakest of all. And that's Zatch Bell himself because he looks funny when he gets scared. But since he's nowhere to be found, I decided to go after his friends, and you happen to be one of them, meaning you must be as weak as he is' Robnos continued to insult his opponent as he laughed at them.

Now Kolulu had enough. She cracked her knuckles in a fist, wanting to put him in his place. Lori was having the same feeling as Kolulu, just wanting to shut him up for his rude comments. 'How about we show him how "Weak" we are!' Lori readied herself as the book glowed. "Zerusen!" Lori shouted as Kolulu shot out her rocket fist, (Note: The first spell has to be called before transform) but Ruku and Robnos dodged it before the Zerusen spell could hit them. 'Let's get'em, Ruku!' Robnos ordered. 'Okey!' Ruku said as he got the spell glowing. "Biraitsu" Ruku chanted as suddenly. A laser fired from Robnos eye and it aimed straight at Lori.

Lori didn't have time to react, so the biraitsu spell went in and Lori in the arm. Lori screamed in pain as she fell to the ground. 'Lori!!' Kolulu sat down, getting real worried about her partner. 'Are you alright?' Kolulu asked, hoping she is. Lori sucked it up and looked up to her with a smile. 'Don't worry, it just stunned me is all' she responded. "But was that a laser? Well it won't make a difference what that was. I've seen these kinds of things in these adventure shows to know that some attacks can be dodged or deflected back, which means that he's not as strong as he thinks he is. Since I can calculate it's speed capacity, I'm sure I can dodge it easily" Lori thought to strategized.

Robnos went in aim as he charged his spell to strike them again. 'Ha! What are you doing, taking a "nap?" Robnos asked jokely "Biraitsu!" Ruku shouted the spell, letting Robnos shoot his beam at them. This then became a chance to strike back. 'Now's our chance, Kolulu' Lori warned. Kolulu was fast to take off her clothes while still in her underwear clothing, then she chanted, 'Zeruk!' Kolulu changed into her battle form and used her metal claws to deflect Robnos attack back at him, but him and Ruku dodged before it had a chance to hit them, leaving them wide open for a lucky strike. 'Let's hurry and finish them off' Lori exclaimed. 'Zerusen!' she shouted as Kolulu shot her rocket fist spell at them, which was successful, hitting Robnos into a nearby shelf, dropping the boxes and other junk on him.

Lori stand back up and placed her hands between her waist. 'That'll teach you that what you see is weakness makes us stronger. Now that it's over, return Megumi and Tia at once!' Lori quoted. Ruku turn to them and said, 'What do you mean it's all over? I thought we just got started?' 'That's right, and even though the girls were just bait, if you don't beat me, then I'm not handing them over' Robnos stated with Ruku, but as he was seen again, he had no bruise whatsoever.

Lori and Kolulu were stunned in shock unable to form words of disbelief. "No way! He's not hurt from that? He should of look like he's been in a fight. Why?" Lori thought to herself. 'Like I said before. I am the invulnerable mamodo Robnos. And I come here to torment Zatch Bell. All you are is just practice until he gets back to what ever trip he's in' Robnos stated. Lori started to panic as she held on to the book in fear. Robnos laughed as he could tell by the fear in her eyes. 'Look at her panicking. She realizes I'm unstable' Robnos said as suddenly he charges again. 'So I guess I'll call this a panic attack!' Robnos added to strike in fear to Lori.

Lori yelp in fear as he got ready, so she went in and try to defend herself and Kolulu. 'Geo La Zerudo!' Lori shouted to called in her shield spell, as Kolulu placed her hands to the ground to create a shield around them. Ruku called in the spell again. 'Biraitsu!' As he chanted, the attack didn't attack straight at them, but instead the laser spell was on top and hit Lori from the bottom, striking at her back. 'Ahhhhhhhhh!!!' 'Lori!!' Kolulu screamed in worry as the shield spell stopped. Lori was able to stand again, but not before when Ruku chanted again. 'Biraitsu!' Sending more blast to at her in all sides. Lori screamed from taking then intense attacks.

Lori eventually fell to the ground. 'How? How did he attack from a different direction?' Lori wondered. Kolulu and Lori looked up and around the ice locker and nothing was there. "There's nothing there. There's no way!' she continued. 'What's wrong? Why do you keep taking these timeouts?' Robnos said jokely again. 'What is he? How do we fight a mamodo we can't hurt? How can we defend ourselves who can attack from different sides?' Lori wondered again.

Kolulu(now back in her normal form) went in to get her back into the battle. 'Lori, we have to fight back, or who knows what they'll do to Megumi and Tia!?' she reminded her "sister" for what's at stake. Lori's eyes grew wide as she remembered what's important. Lori cringed as she got up taking deep breathes. 'She's right. They are our friends' Lori looked back as they fought with Maruss from helping Tia and Megumi. Lori slowly got up and took time to think. "I have to understand what his powers are like" Lori thought. Suddenly. "Biraitsu!" as Ruku shouted and Robnos fired again, Lori and Kolulu dodged as it deflected from the ground.

Lori then realize what she forgot. 'Of course! I forgot, it's a deflecting attack too' As Lori tried to remember when Kolulu was back in her second form and used her claws to deflect it back at them. Ruku laughed at them and said, 'You should see the dumb look on your face' Lori was taking time to understanding for a moment until her eyes widen in relization. 'Of course. So that's how he hit me. Now I know what to do' Lori quoted on the idea.

'Biraitsu!' again the spell was chanted and Robnos fired his laser eyes to hit Lori. But not before she dodged it first. 'Okey, that's dodge strike #1. Now to wait for #2' The laser went from behind, but Lori was quick enough to catch a glimpse of the deflecting shot, so she dodged the second coming. 'I did it! I dodged number 2!' Lori thought gladly. But Robnos made a grin that it was to soon to celebrate, as suddenly she took the hit in her leg. Lori screamed in pain again, making it kneel. 'Lori!!!' Kolulu gasped. As Lori tried to recover from that hit, she turned her face on Robnos and Ruku.

They laughed at them for believing that Lori had them figured out. 'Great job Ruku, she's limping her leg. Now she's in real trouble' Robnos said having a great time. 'This is fun. This is what picking on weaklings is all about' Ruku replied to his mamodo. Lori was cringing in pain, not sure how to endure any much longer. Lori tried to help her the best way she could. 'Lori? Are you alright?' Kolulu said sadly. Robnos and Ruku continued of tormenting them in joy. 'Now then, let's finish them with a final blow' Ruku suggested.

But Lori tried to stand up again. Strong and simple. Robnos and Ruku didn't get them at all. 'Huh? You don't think you can still win, do ya?' Ruku spoke out of confusion. 'As long as Tia and Megumi's rescue are at stake, I'll keep rising back up, no matter how much you knock me down' Lori replied. Kolulu smiled at Lori's speech. 'I've had no one. But thanks to Kolulu, I made another friend. I found a purpose after fighting with Maruss. We fought so we can achieve one main goal. And we will not let you interfere from achieving our goal!' Lori continued on her speech. 'That's right! Now that we pumped up our game, we'll beat you for sure' Kolulu complied.

Robnos and Ruku were looking. Robnos was chattering his teeth while Ruku's face was red in fury. 'Why you mamodo brat! We're gonna end this now!' Ruku grunted as Robnos charged his laser. Lori started to squat to the ground 'Ha! decided to sit down, huh? No point dodging what you can't avoid!' Robnos said prideful. Kolulu went in to try to take the hit. 'Lori, say the spell. I can try to protect you getting hit by another laser' Kolulu said with a kind heart. But Lori brought her to sit on the ground too. 'Kolulu, stay with me and watch closely' Lori warned. "Biraitsu!' Ruku chanted again as Robnos fired again.

'This time I got this all figured out' Lori said confidently. Lori dodged the first strike. 'The attack goes straight forward' As it was hitting at the walls and the shelves. 'By timing the directions of the walls and the shelves. The one place it can't hit is the safe area. Crouching down is the key' Lori quoted as the laser was hitting everywhere except where Lori and Kolulu are sitting. 'Nice one! How did you do that?!' Kolulu asked happily. Lori turned to her mamodo. 'Just something Kiyo taught me' Lori explained.

Robnos and Ruku got angry again. 'don't be so sure, just cause you avoided are attack once!' Ruku yelled. Lori still had her brave confident face on. 'attack then, and we'll still avoid your attacks' Lori said strongly. Going back with Ruku shouting "Biraitsu!" Robnos fired again, but Lori and Kolulu dodged and crouched on the same position. 'See!? Now it's useless to attack us!' Lori stated. However Robnos grinned again. Kolulu was not sure what's grinning about this time, and all of a suddenly, Kolulu screamed as the laser suddenly hit her. Lori was shocked after seeing Kolulu got hit somehow. 'No way! She was in the same spot I was in! So how did it hit her?!' Lori wondered.

The pink mamodo then hit the ground after the attack she took. 'Kolulu!' Lori called worried. 'I...Okey' Kolulu said faint. Robnos laughed at them after watching them struggle like this. 'What's the matter? I thought you said it's useless to attack you?' Robnos imitated. "I don't get it. I had their moves figured out. Kolulu shouldn't of been hit, so how did they hit her?" Lori thought to herself as Robnos charged his laser in his eye again. Lori and Kolulu prepared themselves for the attack again. "Biraitsu!" Ruku summoned the laser attack again. Lori and Kolulu crouched down again to avoid it, but again it hits Kolulu as she yelp in pain.

Lori gasped as she knew she had to get them figured out this time. 'Wait. Now I know how they did it' Lori thought. She crouched down to comfort Kolulu and spoke. 'Kolulu, I found how how they attack this time' Lori tried to get her to wake up. 'Kolulu listen to me, unless you want something to happen to them, you got to get up and fight back' Lori reminded. Kolulu opened her eyes in gasp. She knew she had to for the safety of her friends.

Kolulu's eyes grew pink as suddenly "Zeruk" Lori chanted. Once again Kolulu changed into her second form, getting ready as she put up her dukes. Robnos and Ruku laughed for them to just using simple spells, thinking they got this in the bag. But however Lori had a new spell ready to fire. "Zerarusen!" Shouted to the spell, Kolulu spread her hands and suddenly she popped out her claws and shoot at the shelves. Robnos and Ruku were confused to why they were shooting down the shelves and not shoot them. 'Where are you aiming? Don't you even know where I'm standing?' Robnos joked until one of the launching claws were about to hit them, but they dodged. Now everything in this factory was destroyed. All that was left was junk on the ground. 'Looking for little'old me?' Robnos gestured again.

After all that, everything was now opened to a new battle field. 'Great, now that you trashed up the warehouse, can we move on to your inevitable defect?' Robnos answered to them. But Lori smiled as and Kolulu got ready for the big surprise. 'Really now. Our defect?' Lori said confident again as they got back up. Ruku got the book glowing to attack them again. 'Enough of this non sense!' Lori and Kolulu knew the signal as they nodded. Lori and Kolulu turned from behind and fired, "Zerusen!" Kolulu fired at the ground and suddenly under a pile of scraps, the rocket fist made a second Robnos appeared and got pushed to the door. 'I knew it!' Lori stated, discovering their true plan.

Robnos and Ruku were shocked to unbelieving how they knew this was their plan. Lori turned and look straight crossed at them. 'When Kolulu walked in, she felt there was not one, but two mamodos on the field before the battle. Even the strongest can show a few bruises on it's body after getting hit after' Lori explained. Lori pointed and continued, 'He wasn't the original mamodo we attacked before, but instead you switched places with him, so you appear that you were umharm. I knew there had to be something to this. That's why we smashed the warehouse so it's to hear the foot-steps of who's coming. We heard them, but your's wasn't moving, so we knew there had to be a trick to this. Kiyo told me I had to be smart enough to figure out the enemies' trick to sabotage them' Lori finished.

The wounded Robnos tried to get up after taking such a surprise attack. 'Now that we found out your trick, you're finished' Lori quoted. Robnos laughed as if Lori said was a joke. 'That's funny to hear' he said. 'Congratulation for figuring out our trick' Ruku said as he was impress. 'But just to let you know, we haven't used half of our power yet. So let me show you a real transformation, Kolulu' Robnos exclaimed. Robnos's spellbook started to glow as Ruku chanted a new spell "Reo Buruk" Because of that, Robnos's aura shoot out to the first Robnos, then the other Robnos went in and attached himself like a magnetic. suddenly they started to merge as one into a bigger and bulky version of Robnos, now with three eyes.

Lori was a little scared, but she toughen up and got the book ready. 'Okey, since there's only one now, the odds are even again. "Zeruk!" Kolulu rushed in to try to punch Robnos, but he grabbed her punch like it's nothing to him. Kolulu gasped from seeing how powerful he is. She tried to struggle to make him let go. 'Huh! You think you can take me on with your melee attacking spells, you puny little girl?!' Robnos quoted on Kolulu's attempt. Lori was frozen in shocked. For someone like him to catch her strike with her speed, but with strength over power someone smaller and weaker than him. Robnos started to lift her up and ended up spinning her like rag doll. Kolulu was yelling in mercy, hoping he stop. To her relief, he threw her back to Lori. Lori stared at the mamodo in fear. 'Now that I've seen your attacks and defensive spells, I realize something. You're no match for me when I'm at full strength!' Robnos said as he stood up, bigger then his owner.

Lori and Kolulu were in awe. They now what they planned this whole time. 'So, they were scanning our every move, just so they can counter our skill' Lori said getting the picture of the start of the battle. 'Understanding your opponent's skill and weakness is the way of the mamodo battle' Robnos stated. 'That and stalling for time' Ruku restated for Robnos. Lori held herself as she started getting cold. 'I'm..I'm...Fre.fre.fre.freezing!' Lori said as she chatter from the cold. Robnos made a wide grin in his face. 'The temperature is starting to effect you. So you'll be so cold, you won't be able to concentrate!' Robnos warned. 'We've been setting you up for defect, ever since you walked up to this cold storage warehouse' Ruku laughed as the book glowed, but more brighter this time. 'Goodbye. "biraistu!" With that he got Robnos to glow charging his power again.

Lori took a close eye on the helmet he's wearing. 'His helmet his charging, only this one in his form it's twice as powerful as before' Lori thought as Robnos charged a large at them. 'Lori look out!' Kolulu warned as she grabbed and they dodged. After that, they saw what they did to the junk, leaving a hole in the ground. Lori and Kolulu were awe in shocked as they witness what his full-power can do. "What can I do? He's seen everyone of my attacks and strategies. Our shield spell wouldn't do much of a difference. Not to mention he's seen our new spell too. Zerusen wouldn't do much. He'll just block it with his new form. Which means I have to relay on Zeruk form she has, if she can find a opening for her to hit' Lori tried to think of something but found nothing.

'What's the problem? Giving up already?' Ruku noted to them. Suddenly Lori had a brain storm. "Of course, when he tried to charge, he'll use his attack and then...' Lori stopped thinking as she found the solution. 'Kolulu! I have a idea' Lori suggested to her. Robnos and Ruku were odd in confusion as when Kolulu had a iron pole in her hand. 'Lori, I hope this plan works' Kolulu prayed. 'I know it has to' Lori responded to Kolulu. "It's a risky, but if we can pierced his helmet, we can aim for a direct him the moment he charges" Lori thought. Ruku and Robnos were laughing at them, thinking it was their last result. 'I think the cold has struck her nerve' Ruku laughed. 'Are you down to just fighting with that iron pole?' Robnos joked.

Kolulu held the pole, then she started to charge at them, screaming battle yell. Lori had the book ready to use it. Ruku wasn't ti sure what they are doing. 'What?! She must be desperate. She's heading straight at us once again. Robnos, take aim to finish her off, once and for all' Ruku ordered as Robnos was ready to charge. Lori on the other hand had this in mind. 'Perfect' And then "zeruk!" Lori shouted as Kolulu suddenly build up speed and suddenly jumped up the air. 'Okey let's do it! Don't lose your focus on her' Ruku said to keep Robnos to keep a close eye on her, but Kolulu's speed boost helped as she threw the pole at the top of his helmet. 'Don't worry about it, it's just your helmet. We got to finish off the mamodo!' Ruku once again tried to keep Robnos calm to not lose focus on Kolulu.

As she landed on the ground, she saw the Robnos' helmet is charging again. "Good. Now all she had to do is jump again and I'll get her to make the big shot to his helmet' Lori thought as she gave Kolulu a peace sign, letting her know to jump again. Kolulu nodded 'Mmm Hmm' Kolulu once again leaped up and set her fist ready to shoot a Zerusen spell at him. "Zerusen!" Lori chanted as she fired her rocket fist at the pole pierced to his helmet. As it did, something cause a chain reaction as his helmet was glowing uncontrollably. 'Robnos' Ruku said worried about Robnos. Lori smiled in glee as she was proud. It would of made Kiyo and Zatch proud if they saw this battle. "She did it! Now because of the Zerusen that hit his charging helmet with the pole pierced, it'll be to much power for him to channel and eventually self-destruct. Robnos made one final scream as his helmet exploded while his own power did the rest for Lori and Kolulu.

After the explosion, Robnos book was engulf in flames. 'Now tell me where Megumi and Tia are!' Lori demanded. Ruku was on the ground, like he's bowing down for Lori. 'I'm sorry, but the truth is, I haven taken any hostages!!' Ruku cried. Both Lori and Kolulu(back to her normal form still not wearing her clothes yet) were shocked 'Whaatt!!!' They couldn't even believe that they won a battle for someone who's life wasn't on the line. 'I told you, the two were bait to lore you to this warehouse!' Ruku said now stating the obvious. 'But that means...' Lori was about to finish her sentence when suddenly Robnos interrupted and said. 'I never said I captured them to model the statues, I asked them to be models for it' Robnos explained.

Lori was messed up in the head as she awed. 'How dare you!' Lori exclaimed. 'I thought it was a great trick to lure you here' Robnos said and laughed. Robnos' book was slowly disappearing as he also was fading away. 'Oh I have something interesting to tell you. Before I left from England, I saw a mamodo that looks exactly like you, Kolulu, and boy was she real scary, so I was lucky to get out of there' Robnos explained. Kolulu and Lori were shocked. Kolulu walked in get more answers. 'Where in England!? Did she do anything to anyone at all?!' Kolulu begged, wondering if he seen her do anything, like hurt someone. 'That's for me to know, and for you to find out. And tell Zatch I saw a mamodo that looks like him in England a week ago. I'm sure he's probably looking for him' Robnos finished as he disappeared to the Mamodo World. Lori and Kolulu looked at each other in fear of knowing where her dark douppleganger is doing there.


In England there was the evil mamodo lookalike of Kolulu, but she has red hair and wears anything red, wearing a red mental(the kind of clothing Zatch wears), not to mention she has one line to her eyes each on her face. She looks watched as the random mamodo was squirming to the ground as he slowly rises up. 'Who... are you?' the mamodo asked. The formal personality smiled evily at her victim. 'Someone you should of never challenge! Cause when I'm in the mood for a fight, I fight for the fun of it!' she evilly. the mamodo growled as he rises back up. 'I'm not gonna lose to you! I'm gonna be king no matter what!' he screamed. 'Do it!' he ordered his partner. he held purple spell book and chanted the spell. "jinra!!' Suddenly sharp vines popped out to hit the dark mamodo.

But a shadow of a girl wearing a school girl's sailor uniform hold on to the dark red book and chanted 'Zerusen!' But the battle ended in a flash as there was an explosion and the mamodo's book burned and he disappeared. The evil mamodo chuckled as she won another battle. 'How I missed stomping weaklings to the ground! I just can't hold my excitement!' she said. 'I like the way you think' the lookalike of Kolulu's smile faded as she turned to see who that was. It was no other than Zeno and his partner Dufort. 'Are you here to challenge me too!?' she quoted. Zeno chuckled as laid his hand out. 'Just came to let you know I know who you are. Cause you remind me of myself. And I like it' Zeno said.

The dark mamodo had her fist balled up, wanting to crush him. 'You were once that weakling's darkside, until you freed yourself and only became her counterpart. I got a business for you. You and I team up, and I'll find you so many madodos you can crush beneath your heals!' Zeno reasoned. As a dark half that loves fighting, she would not refuse and so she smiled. 'I'll partner with you. I want to be stronger and stronger to crush them, even that fool that made me this way' she said as she balled up her fist and cracked her knuckles. Zeno knew who she was referring to. He wanted to dispose of Zatch himself. 'Sure thing....Auhh?' Zano wasn't sure who to call her. But she spoke for him. 'Meister. Call me that for now on' Meister said as they held and shook hands. Dufort and the book owner of Meister's dark red book looked at each other eye to eye, but the girls eyes grew inverted red.
