Day 6

It has come to my attention that the Mojos have installed the leader who captured us as their king. I didn't think they would replace her so quickly. Well, it seems things are not in our favor. I'm still negotiating with the Kojo about their condition. The condition is as follows: Kojo laws state that their loyalty to anyone must be based on strength. They will not listen to me or execute my plans until I prove that I am strong or that my race is strong. To prove this, they demanded a fight. I am to face their leader in a battle to the death, where the loser must die. 

I hesitated for a moment but then agreed, and the conversation ended on that note. I returned to my world and to my room, my mind racing with thoughts. Suddenly, I had an idea. I will have Zano fight the Kojo leader to prove his strength and determination in this mission. I called Loki and told her about it. She disagreed, but this only made me more determined. I told her we would inform Zano, and if he didn't want to, that would be fine. However, I was sure he would agree; I know what kind of person he is.

Loki informed Zano, and to my surprise, my mother called me: "Sarutobi, come down; one of your friends is here." How could one of my friends be here? No one visits me except Loki. Yes, it was Zano. What brought him here? I greeted him, and my mother went to prepare something for us to eat. I brought him to my room, and there, Zano said, "I want to fight this Kojo you told me about, Loki. I want to defeat him. Come on, Sarutobi, take me there." I was surprised by his words; it seemed there was a strong motivation behind it all. However, I didn't care as long as it served our cause. 

I transported Zano to my world, and we headed to the Kojo. As soon as Zano saw one of the smaller Kujos, he showed signs of astonishment. "Wait until you see who you will face," I smiled. I told him not to be afraid and even if he was scared, to pretend to be brave. Before facing the Kojo, I wanted to tell you something, Zano. Two years ago, the Kojo were peaceful and harmless. Their nature changed due to the actions of the Mojos, who exploited and tortured them, drastically reducing their numbers. Today, you will face the largest creature in this world, which has turned into a predator. I want you to win; my entire plan depends on you, and I trust you. You are the school bully; no one has ever defeated you, remember? The fear on Zano's face began to fade, and he regained his vitality. I gave him three mana pills and told him that everything he could do before would be much stronger because of these pills. But remember, Zano, it is you who fights, not the pills. Zano ate all of them, and then we saw the Mojos arriving with their leader. My God, I had never seen a Kojo of this size, with a scar on his face that made him even more terrifying. Zano couldn't fake bravery, but he didn't back down either, which I liked. 

The leader stepped forward and asked, "Who will I face?" I told him he would face the strongest and fiercest in my team, Zano the Mojo Conqueror. The leader looked at Zano with arrogance and smiled slightly. "Very well," he said. We moved to a combat arena similar to the one the Mojos had put us in, but smaller. I sat with a few Kujos, while Zano and the leader remained in the arena. The battle began.
