Title: Mr. Bell's mamodo battle

Chapter 1 where it all began

Authors note: Since it's so early in the period, People won't be cursing as much since it was like Voodoo back then, but since I don't know how people spoke back then I'm just going to wing it…It's been so long since I've done this sort of thing, I'm just going to work on my editing skills for the time being. I thought I going to rehash this story, but forget it.

…

1000 years ago in 1005 AD during the early middle ages of Europe, 100 mamodo children came to the world of the Humans to battle and to decide who will become the next king. This is the story of Zain bell, the father of Zatch Bell, and Zeno Bell.

…

A boy was wondering the woods of France for more than a week now. "Where the heck am I?" the boy asked himself, while looking around the hugely densely forested area.

The small boy was obviously lost.

He was around the age of 7, and had blond hair and blond eyes with three lines going down his each eye down to his chin. He was also wearing a green mantle with a blue jewel and white bow attached to it. His shoes were a nearly bright green color, but there was dirt covering them so it turned out more brownish green instead. He had a pouch in the back of his cloak, carrying a yellow book… his name was Zain Bell.

"Well I better find my partner as soon as possible" Zain said to himself then found a rocky outcrop of a road. "This place is just terrible compared to the mamodo world" Zain sighed. Zain then took in a deep breath of fresh air, "The air is clean and crisp, it's pretty cold out, I wonder what season it is in the human world" Zain wondered.

With the 1000s of humongous trees that surrounded the area, it was hard to see very far through the forestation.

While Zain was walking in the woods minding his own business, trouble was brewing close by.

A teenager was running through the woods.

Three Vikings were chasing a Teenager across the woods.

"Get him" a Viking shouted wielding a mace while chasing a teenager

"I can't get away" The teenager yelled as he jumped over a log and the Vikings still followed.

(Damn it! I can't die here…I must have some sort of advantage over these Pagans) The Teenager thought while he ran for his life.

"You will pay for what you did" The Viking shouted while dashing through bushes and quickly running around a tree.

The Vikings were relentless, it seemed as if they would not become exhausted anytime soon.

Minutes ago before the teenager started running for his life.

The village that the Teenager lived at came under attack, within a blink of an eye, and within a couple of minutes, Vikings were pillaging the small settlement. The Vikings had come by a fast boat, by river that the village was near made it a perfect target.

"Runaway" A villager shouted

"Take everything you need, show no mercy" The Viking Chief shouted

The Vikings were dressed in bland grey tunics and loose pants, while worn on top were fur pelts of a variety of animals. They were holding weapons like swords and heavy maces.

3 dozen Vikings were raiding a small village for its food and resources

The Teenager witnessed the Vikings slaughter some of his neighbors, but he was hiding inside his little hut with his own family.

One man tried to stand up for the village, only armed with a 6 foot long quarter staff. Outnumbered and out matched, the man soon met his end just moments later, he wasn't able to accomplish anything other than dying an honorable death.

The Hut that he was in was of the normal size as everyone else's. Its size could comfortably fit 4 adults

"Mother Hide" the Teenager requested

The medium build, 5 foot 5in tall male. With brown hair and blue eyes, he had a rounded jaw and a medium size nose with a round edge. He was wearing a loosely fit white Tunic, with white pants that had a rope tied across his waist. The Teenager ran outside with only a pitchfork.

"James" the mother cried. "I already lost your father, I can't lose you too" The mother explained, as she tried grabbing for her son, and pulling him back inside.

James pulled away from his mother, "If I do nothing we may not survive the winter" James responded then ran off to meet the Vikings on a near suicide mission.

"Please NOO" One Villager cried out as he was cut down trying to protect the livestock.

"Out of my way" The Viking responded as he started robbing the livestock full of chickens and eggs.

"Leave this place" James yelled then stabbed the pitchfork into the Viking's back who was robbing them.

"Gahhh" The Viking gasped for air, but couldn't since blood was filling them. He dropped to the floor, and soon died after he suffocated on his own blood.

"Kill that asshole" a Viking pointed out as he seen his comrade fall

"Don't let him get away" another Viking shouted

3 Viking warriors went chasing after James. James in response ran away with the pitchfork still in hand.

Back to present.

"I have to get away" James stated as he still carried his pitchfork in his hand

"Rahh" The Vikings made a war cry as they chased James through the heavily forested area of France

…

…

"What's all this noise?" Zain asked himself, then looked to see a human running for his live from three larger humans carrying weapons like Maces, Swords, and spears. (Should I help him? Maybe one of those humans is my partner… I guess I'll find out) Zain thought then gave chase as well but caught up relatively quickly

"I have no choice I have to fight" James said to himself then turned around to see a child in front of him.

Moments later the Vikings arrived right behind them.

"Who's this? Your little brother?" the Viking laughed

"Does it matter, we'll kill them both" The larger man shouted charging at both Zain and James

"Get out of here while you have the chance" James yelled then tried to get in front of the small boy.

"Stupid human out of my way" Zain shouted then tripped James to the ground, by kicking James in the back of the leg

The Viking went to swing with the mace and tried to crush Zain's skull, Zain ended up blocking the blow, using his right hand only.

"What the?" the Viking was stunned, as he knew a child couldn't possibly accomplished what just happened.

A small mark was left on Zain's hand, as he pushed the mace away from him, causing the large man to back away a couple feet.

James seeing what just happened "What are you?" James asked in astonishment.

Zain pulled out the Yellow mamodo book and pointed it at the three Vikings and nothing happened. Zain could also feel that he had no connection with these humans. "None of you are my partner, leave" Zain ordered, as he was about to ignore the Vikings attacking him.

"You should be dead!" The another Viking shouted and swung his sword at Zain

Zain's cloak started to flutter in the air, and yet there was no wind present. It became apparent that Zain was controlling his clothing…All of this happened with in a mere couple seconds, but James witness it all, and came to realize Zain was no ordinary child.

As if Zain's cloak had a mind of its own, the cloak wrapped itself around the three Vikings at the same time and picked them up in the air.

"W…What!" The Vikings shouted in shock.

"I told you to leave" Zain stated in a cold tone.

Zain then controlled his cloak, and made it throw the 3 men into a couple of trees, which easily knocked them out.

"You must be a monster, a dwarf, a demon" James said with a face of shock while slowly backing away from the child.

"You human, try reading this book" Zain ordered then tossed James the Yellow mamodo book with strange writing inside that was not from the Human world.

"The devil's book" James whimpered, James was starting to become more fearful of Zain, more so than the Vikings that were pillaging his village.

"Devil? Demon? I just saved your life, be grateful" Zain retorted now annoyed. "Now try reading the book" Zain ordered

James did as he was told and opened the pages of the book. "I can't read any of this" James responded

"I see" Zain said disappointed. Zain was about to grab his book back from James's grip.

"Wait this part…Zaker" James said, he was still in shock; his emotions transferred into the book and made it glow with power.

Zain raised his hand and pointed it at a tree. His hand started to glow a yellowish hue. Within a second, Zain wasted no time to test out the power of his first spell. A decent size yellow lightning came out of Zain's hand and struck against multiple trees.

Trees came crashing down to the ground, which caused large crackling sounds. The lightning did create a thunderous boom, which was even heard across to the village.

For a moment there was silence…even in the village, the Vikings and the Villagers had no idea where the outburst of noise came from…But that only lasted for a moment, the Vikings once again began their rampage, and tried to quickly get their job done.

The lightning that just came out of the child's hand, of course did shock James. So much so that he thought he had lost his mind for a moment…but seeing the wreckage created by the boy, he knew this was no illusion.

"Well this must mean you're my partner, I found one sooner than I thought I would" Zain said with a happy smile then helped James to his feet.

"Y…You…You truly are a monster" James said in fear. (I must be losing my mind!) James thought, as this sort of thing was unheard of.

Zain almost had enough of the name calling "WOULD YOU STOP CALLING ME THAT" Zain shouted in a offended manner.

"Ahh" James jumped back still not knowing how the lightning came out of the boy's hand.

"Call me Zain, Zain Bell"

The child seemed to be calmer now that he introduced himself.

"Wha… What are you" James asked now calming down a little himself

"I'm a mamodo, and there are 99 other mamodo children like me, and you're now the owner of that spell book" Zain explained. (Damn…I suck at introductions) Zain thought as he was now thinking about how to explain the situation to this confused human.

"The book?" James said lifting it up, it had 5 circles on it, four on each corner, and one in the center. With a line going through all of them, making a pattern of a hour glass.

"Yes, don't let anything happen to it, protect it." Zain requested

"How did you shoot that lightning?" James asked, still not connecting the dots that he was the cause of the lightning.

"When you put your emotion into that book, then read a spell it causes me to unleash my power, you're the only one who can do this" Zain explained in a calm manner the pointed at James. "I didn't get your name" Zain reminded the rude human.

"I…I'm James Reid" James introduced himself.

"Good, hopefully you can help me become King, something where my father has failed" Zain stated now walking in the general direction of the smoke coming up from a terrorized village

"KING!" James responded, still confused into what's going on. Who were these "Mamodo" children, how did they get here? What was the point? More importantly, what did this mean to him? How would this affect his life?

James didn't have much time to think about it.

"Us 100 mamodo fight until we burned every last book until there is only one, that one becomes King" Zain responded.

(I don't get everything that this kid is saying…but he's strong, and with my help he can be even stronger…I get that. I don't have to take everything he says as the truth, just yet. This child, I will use him to save my village.) James thought as he stood onto his feet, holding the yellow spell book close to his heart.

(I wonder what he'll say…This is my first conversation with a human being.) Zain thought, as he did prepare himself for James to recline to even being associated with him…of course he wouldn't accept that happening.

"Fine, I'll help you, on one condition…" James boldly announced

Zain smiled, "I'm listening" Zain replied while crossing his arms across his chest, ready to hear out James's condition, and most likely accept it whatever it may be.

"You have to help me protect my family, my people" James requested while trying to keep a dominating posture, by standing tall over the boy.

"That's fine by me" Zain stated, as he started to walk towards a dark smoke plume that was in the sky, which was coming from James's village.

"Th…Thank You" James yelled with Joy then started running back to his village with the Yellow book in hand.

(I can save them now, I won't let anyone die! I must protect my family!) James thought while running back to his home.

"Hey wait for me, I can't be having you get killed, YOU KNOW" Zain shouted then ran in front of James, then took lead.

Authors Note: Just for everyone knows, Makoto Raiku made around 47 mamodo that were trapped inside stone, by Goren the stone…A lot of those mamodo who were trapped inside stone were poorly done, shoot I don't even know some of their names, since they weren't given any. Plus a lot of them were also weak. So I've decided if I want to use those characters, I'm going to have to redo their character, but keep the appearance the same.

Disclaimer: I do not own Zatch Bell, or the 47 mamodo Raiku created in the Zofis arc.
