Chapter 20 - Sword of light

(Vicky's Apartment, living room, 2:30 P.M.)

Aaron: How long has he been unconscious for?

Dominic: Probably for 15 to 20 hours. Do you think the Universal Crystal killed him? Because if it did, Vicky will be pissed off and probably kill the both of us.

Aaron: She was already in the verge to kill you when she saw Sam on the floor. You should be glad I saved your hind by telling her he's sleeping.

Jay: I hate to say this but could you guys untie me already. Just because that wolf is gone to work and your brother is on the floor, unconscious, doesn't mean you have to tie me up again.

Dominic: Shut it. Hey Aaron, when did Vicky said she'll back again?

Aaron: She said she'll be back in 2:45 P.M., and it's 2:30 P.M. already. We should probably hide Sam's body because he isn't waking up at all.

Dominic: Okay, you carry his legs, I'll carry his upper half.

Dominic grabbed picked up Rodrigo's upper body by the shoulders while Aaron picked up his legs. When they lifted Rodrigo up, Rodrigo woke up screaming and clenched his right arm hard and it formed a long Pata blade made out of yellow energy. He began slashing the blade around, causing Dominic and Aaron to drop him.

Doninic: HOLY SH- *Falls to the floor*

Aaron: Look who woke up from his nap! Sleeping beauty himself!

Rodrigo: THE POPO IS COMING! THE POPO IS COMING!

Dominic: The police?

Rodrigo: No...Mr. Popo...

There was a moment of confusion and silence in the room due to Rodrigo mentioning Mr. Popo. A sound of keys unlocking the door and came in Vicky.

Vicky: Hey guys how's it *Sees Rodrigo's blade of energy* ...did I miss something?

Dominic: Sam woke up, formed a Energy Blade with his fist, screamed bloody murder that Mr. Popo was coming, and don't ask who. By the way, you're back early.

Vicky: Well, I needed to get Rodrigo ready and go to the Presidental Mansion with him. For some reason the president wanted to talk to me and bring Rodrigo.

Dominic: That sounds oddly suspicious, *Stands up* Aaron, Jay, and me are coming with you two.

Jay: Why me?

Vicky: May I ask why?

Dominic: Trust me, if you try to mix me with presidents, it will become ugly. In much simpler words, I don't think Greylorn wants to talk to you at all. Maybe this meeting involves you with Sam, probably your relationship with him. Hint, hint.

Rodrigo: I hate to say this, but I agree with Dominic. And Dominic, SHUT UP! Keep out of our relationship, we already got too much criticism from you.

Dominic: Bitch, please! I'll never shut up.

Rodrigo: You're the curse of our people and you know it.

Aaron: Shut it, both of you!

Vicky: Right, um, we need to go now. But first, you should probably deactivate that fist of energy.

Rodrigo: Dominic, a little help?

Dominic: Open your hands for god's sake.

Rodrigo: *Open hands and deactivates Energy Blade* Huh, well that was easy.

(Presidental Mansion, entrance, 2:50 P.M.)

Rodrigo: *Arrives at the mansion while carrying Vicky and puts her down* That was one HECK of a run! Hold on, how did you get to work without your car?

Vicky: I called my friend, Ed, to pick me up and told him my car was at a auto repair shop, though my car is actually in an alleyway, ransacked probably. Are you sure this meeting is about you?

Rodrigo: After all the things that happened so far, yeah, definitely. *Sighs* Well, lets get this over with and lets hope Dominic is good with that sniper rifle of his if things go south.

Vicky: Lets hope IF things don't go south.

Rodrigo and Vicky entered the mansion entrance while Dominic, Aaron, and Jay were watching them from a different building near the mansion. Dominic was lying down and was armed with his Dragunov sniper rifle, aiming his sights on the windows that lead to the office. Aaron and Jay were lying down right beside Dominic and was waiting. Back in the mansion, Rodrigo and Vicky were at the entrance that lead to the president's office.

Vicky: Are you sure Dominic is good with that rifle?

Rodrigo: We Riveras have an excellent eye sight that can help us aim well. Some people call it a 'skill', but my father called it an 'art' because a small variety of people have it and have mastered it.

Vicky: Your father must've been smart.

Rodrigo: Yes he was, well...most of the time. We should probably go inside, *Looks at door and yells* AND QUIT EAVESDROPPING ON US!

Rodrigo opened the door and saw Bert, Tina, Hotty, Coldy, Shado, Jess, Leonard, Langley, Gordon, Michelle, Rick, and Dirk. Everyone was normal, except Rick, who was looking at a vase.

Rodrigo: Nice try, but I don't fall for that old cliché Rick.

Rick: How did you know it was me?

Rodrigo: First off, I could hear your breathing and second, you were looking at a vase. Common cliché.

(Outside the mansion)

Aaron: What do you see?

Dominic: I see Rodrigo and Vicky, that cat boy and his friends, Kleiner and his daughter, Leonard, that teleporting lemur, and *Sees Linda*...no way, it can't be!

Aaron: What? What is it?

Dominic: Hold on, I'll back. *Takes rifle with him*

Aaron: Oh god no!

(President's office)

Rodrigo: Look Greylorn, I'm sorry for the damages me and my brother caused but now we have bigger problems than this. Yesterday, Vicky and I were being chased by whom I believe is the Mafia. How long are you going to take just to take care of this!?

Leonard: Mr. Rivera, I understand your issue of the situation but we have a small problem with that. We don't know exactly what the Mafia is.

Rodrigo: *Groans* This day could not get any worse.

Dominic: *Enters office and sees Langley* I knew it! I knew it was her!

Rodrigo: I spoke too soon. What is it Dominic and why did you have to bring the rifle!?

Dominic: I just wanted to see Major Bitch that's all.

Rodrigo: Major who?

Dominic: You know, Major Bitch.

Rodrigo: Dominic who are you talking about?

Aaron: *Enters room with Jay* I'm sorry! I couldn't- *Sees Langley* Oh you can't be serious. So that's why you wanted to come inside isn't it Dom?

Dominic: I like to insult the people I have high dislikings on. Langley is one of them.

Linda: And why don't you like me for?

Dominic: 3 words...3 Megaton Missile...sound familiar? I was there when you launched that damn missile at Middletown. You were going to take thousands of lives, men, women, and even children. Just because you wanted to keep the human race alive, you heartless bitch!

Rodrigo and Vicky: SHE DID WHAT!?

Linda: Listen, I don't know how you know about what happened back there but I was trying to protect our people.

Dominic: OUR people?

Linda: ...

Dominic: Exactly. You just wanted to keep YOUR people alive.

Rodrigo: That's enough, Dominic.

Dominic: Oh no! I'm just getting started...

Rodrigo: Dominic I said 'That's enough'. *Clenches fist and forms an Energy Blade*

Jess: Here we go again!
