It was the middle of the day in Kaziland, although the sky always seemed to be dark and sinister there so its two human inhabitants had more-or-less given up trying to tell the day from night. Constantine was busy making sure his boss' latest pet was shipped off of their island safely. He had thought that getting a puma would be a safe idea (plus they looked very cool and intimidating) but as usual, Dr. Kamikazi had ended up with his face almost ripped off.
"You'd have thought he'd have learned his lesson by now." Constantine muttered to himself. "Oh well! Let's hope his next animal friend is a much kinder boy!"
"CONSTANTINE! GET IN HERE QUICK!" The hunchbacked man heard his Boss' voice bellow out from the secret evil lair (although it wasn't really secret; everyone who knew Kamikazi knew exactly where Kaziland was). He sounded frightened. Also angry. But then again he was always angry. Either way, Constantine knew he had better hurry to see what his Boss wanted before he ended up getting tied to a rocket or forced to lash himself with a whip. Kamikazi had probably gotten his hand stuck in the toaster again or something.
He made his way into the heart of their volcano island home and into Kamikazi's lair.
"Boss, I told you," He began as the doors slid open. "You have to wait at least a minute before the toast pops up or you'll give yourself a hurt finger again-!"
"Constantine…"
When the room came into full view, the man's smile faded.
His Boss was currently being held up in the air by his bathrobe by none other than Moshimo's evil failed prototype robot.
"Protoboy?" Constantine gasped. Then he smiled widely. "Long time no see! How have you been? How's the wife-?"
"SHUT UP." The robot cut him off, still dangling Kamikazi in the air. "YOU LISTEN TO PROTO."
"Do what he says." Kamikazi ordered. "If he drops me from this height I'm gonna have to go back to the chiropractor. He's so expensive. I just don't have that kind of budget!"
Constantine nodded. "Okey-dokey. What do you want, Protoboy?"
"PROTO WANT JOIN FORCES. YOU WILL ASSIST." He said. "WE ALL WANT SAME THING."
Kamikazi frowned and looked down at his henchman.
"You mean Robotboy?"
"Oh!" Constantine giggled. "I was thinking about tapas. That's what I want."
Both Protoboy and Kamikazi stared at him blankly.
"Anyway, what was that you were saying?" The evil scientist had become very eager about this.
"PROTO USED BE ABLE TO FIND BROTHER. NOW BROTHER HAS CLOAKED HIMSELF. CAN'T LOCATE ROBOTBOY'S SIGNAL." Protoboy continued.
Constantine muttered, "Maybe we should ask him if he could do that to Kaziland."
"Shut up, Constantine!" Kamikazi hissed.
"YOU HAVE SURVEILLANCE ON THE HUMAN BOY WHO KEEPS MY BROTHER. SURVEILLANCE ON ALL WHO ALSO WANT HIM. LET ME USE. I FIND AND DESTROY HIM. I DESTROY ALL ASSOCIATED WITH MOSHIMO. NO ONE COME TO RESCUE."
"Uh…" Kamikazi turned to the fighting robot a little sheepishly. Why was did he gotta be so loud all the time? "What's in it for us? I do need Robotboy in one piece so I can clone him."
Protoboy gave a distorted laugh. "NO NEED USELESS BROTHER. YOU HELP PROTO; PROTO JOIN YOU. WILL DESTROY ALL RIVALS OF KAMIKAZI. YOU GET WHAT WANT. I SHOW USELESS MOSHIMO HOW GREAT I AM."
The old scientist's entire face lit up. Protoboy was finally going to help him take over the world? Finally! He was going to get what he'd always dreamed of! Not only that, but all those other annoying villains would be taken out of the game completely? No more competition? General Yakitori, Bjorn, Affenkugel – all of them would be wiped out! No more competition and besides, a clone army of Protoboys may even be more deadly than an army of Robotboys; he wouldn't even need to reprogram Protoboy! He was already destructive and evil.
"Deal!" Kamikazi yelled. "This is the best day of my life!"
"Hooray!" Constantine cheered. "I know! I'll make us all some celebratory tapas!"
Protoboy let go of Kamikazi and he plummeted to the ground, cracking his back when he hit the floor. "ROBOTS NO EAT FOOD. STUPID MAN."
"Okay. No need to be so rude." Constantine looked down at his Boss who was shriveled in a heap on the ground, twitching. "Boss, you want me to call the chiropractor?"
Kamikazi nodded, unable to speak from the pain.
While Constantine trotted off to get the number that he'd written down somewhere, Protoboy got to work with Kamikazi's surveillance system. Turns out he didn't just keep tabs on Robotboy and the Turnbull household, he also liked to make sure he knew what all his rivals were doing at all times as well. Protoboy, fueled with the thought of finally getting to crush his weak little brother, began to formulate his plan of action. Deciding to team up with Kamikazi had been a strategic move, as world domination was also appealing to the prototype robot. That way, his creator would finally see how powerful he was. He wouldn't be ignored in favor of Robotboy once he had dominated the entire planet along with his nefarious enemy, Dr. Kamikazi. In fact, the fact that it was Kamikazi would just be another kick in the teeth for Moshimo.
Once he had destroyed his brother, the competitors for Robotboy would most likely flock to Kaziland in pure rage. Protoboy was sure that he could defeat them all, but just in case they all somehow banded together and turned out to be quite strong, he decided that taking them all out individually beforehand was the best course of action.
His circuits were practically buzzing with anticipation. He couldn't wait to see them all shrivel beneath him. He would kill anyone close to them; the more they suffered both mentally and physically the better.
Constantine returned with the chiropractor's number and Protoboy remembered that Kamikazi was still just lying there all bent up on the ground.
"COME." Protoboy turned to them and ordered. He jabbed his finger at one of the red pinpointed countries on the screen. "WE GO NORTHERN OF EUROPE NOW. TAKE OUT FIRST RIVAL."
Even though Kamikazi was still in excruciating pain, he wheezed in triumph as he recognized the area. "Constantine! Protoboy is going to shoot that brat Bjorn Bjornson!"
While the other two buzzed and laughed in their shared excitement, Constantine bit his lip. "But, Boss, are we really gonna kill a child? Bjorn's like…twelve."
"Don't be such a baby, Constantine! Do you not remember how many times we've tried to get rid of Robotboy's child friends?" Kamikazi scoffed. "Bjorn did this to himself when he entered this game! Besides, he's a considerable threat to us because he's got that fighting robot. It's a good idea to take him out first."
Protoboy nodded in agreement. He had never gotten to fight any machine other than his brother before, but he had heard that Bjorn's robot was almost exactly equally matched in strength and weapons capabilities to Robotboy. Bjorn had previously studied under Professor Moshimo, which filled Protoboy's motherboard with further sparks of disgust. He couldn't wait to put an end to that robot's existence. It would be like practice for when he finally got to tear his brother apart.
"Okey-dokey, Boss." Constantine sighed as he watched Kamikazi and Protoboy prepare for their first attack. "Just don't expect me to watch."
