I've wanted to make a new fanfic in another section of this website and something hit me. Just studying the Aztec, the Incas, the Mayan, and the Ottoman Empire back at middle school reminds me of the underrated traditional animated film I've watched from my childhood, "The Road To El Dorado". It is surprising that it was gonna have some sequels of Tulio and Miguel along with Altivo and Chel searching for other legends, but due to it's failure at the box office back at 2000, the whole series got scrapped and shelved which is a shame because despite the mixed reception it had, it became the start of the fandom since I heard that lots of you users have made dozens of fanfics in this section. Well, without further ado, I've decided that I would make two sequels in this fanfic starting with this one. It's called "The Road To El Dorado 2: Journey to Nahuatl", based on the second event of Cortes' life where he and his soldiers went to Nahuatl and met Moctezuma II (which would be the new character of this fanfic) before he places himself under the orders of Charles V, but in terms of animated features, it would be loosely based on that event. I'm going to start the fanfic right now starting with the first chapter. Enjoy and don't forget to review while you're at it dear fans of a great movie.
P.S. I do not own the characters and Dreamworks Animation. This fanfic will have a total of 20 chapters.
Chapter 1: Finding A Boat
We see Tulio, Miguel, Altivo, Chel, and their armadillo friend going into the forests a few miles away from the gates that lead to El Dorado and it's been nearly a day since they crashed into them in an attempt to save the people of El Dorado from being found by Cortes and his men. They camped by themselves last night and in the next morning they continue to move on. They see light and hear the ocean on the very end of the forest and our heroes spoke.
"I can hear the ocean", said Miguel, "That means the boat's still there the last time we sailed here."
"Let's grab it and get out of here fast before Cortes finds us", said Tulio, "I can see their ship far away from here."
He points to Cortes' ship and we see Cortes' chaining up Tzekel-Kan.
"But it is true", said Tzekel Kan, "I saw three of the people who have been to El Dorado along their horse of yours."
As he attemps to pull the bonds of the chains out of his arms, Cortes kicks him.
"You will suffer the consequences once we get back to spain", said Cortes, "but first, we are going to a place where no one will remember you again."
"And what place is that?", asked Tzekel Kan.
"Nahuatl", explained Cortes, "The lord himself will be most pleased in giving you a mere tributal sacrifice."
Tzekel Kan glares at him angrily and Cortes shouts, "Put him in the brig!", and his men grabbed the priest to the brig before the locked the door. Later, we see our heroes getting on the boat despite the fact that the horse is too big for the boat to carry and they sailed as fast as they could until finally, they have reached a few miles away from the forests and El Dorado and they say their goodbyes to the most beautiful place where it had gold before continuing to row the boat. Later that night, it began to rain and there came huge waves as our heroes try to row through them or else one of them would crash into them and destroy the boat.
"I'm not sure how long this will last!", shouted Chel, "The storm's too strong anyway!"
"Just keep rowing!", shouted Tulio and our heroes continue to row until they came across a more huge wave in the ocean and they've waited until the time was right to row until the boat reaches the top of the wave before it could crash back to the ocean letting our heroes live. The next morning, after they rested from last night, they continue to row. Day after day, they stopped rowing and would keeping on rowing. Another day came by and our heroes take a few hourse rest while eating some leftover fruits they have found from the forest.
"There are a few mango berries left", said Chel, "I'm sure we'll have enough to last our journey."
"Before we might even know it", said Miguel, "We could be stopping on another island."
"What do you mean, another island?", asked Tulio, now curious.
"You know", said Miguel, "Where we could meet new people... even their king, I believe?"
"A new god?", said Tulio, "Come on. What makes you think there'll be another god once we go to that place?"
"We'll just...", said Miguel, "You know, respect him the same way the people at El Dorado did when we were gods."
"Well, I... I highly doubt that", said Tulio.
Later that night, while the others are sleeping, we see Miguel looking at the stars. "It's so beautiful", thought Miguel and he sees a shooting star. "Amazing", said Miguel, "A shooting star. I get to make a wish." He closes his eyes and said, "I wish we could go to another place where we can see new people and meet their king", and went to sleep, hoping that his dream would come true. Then, he dreams of seeing the new people in a new place so might and beautiful even the people greeted him for his welcome. Suddenly, there came a growl from the forests of their town and as lots of people ran as fast as they could, Miguel sees a familiar creature. It was the stone jaguar he and Tulio saw the last time they were at El Dorado before finding out that Tzekel Kan is there and orders the stone jaguar to kill him. Then, the dream ends after the jaguar kills Miguel after the chase and Miguel wakes up. He gasps and is relieved that it was all a dream and went back to sleep.
That's it for the first chapter. I'll update as soon as I am done doing a few chapters in a KFP/HTTYD crossover sequel.
