Protectors of the Realm
in The City's Origin
In Power City, everyone is celebrating one of the most important holidays in Gemina history, Founding Day.
"So, what's this holiday for?" Piper questioned.
"Founding Day is a holiday, where we celebrate the founding of Power City by the Great Founding Fathers," Mike explained.
"And we're practicing for the big performance," Zeke added.
"So does it have a history of how this place has a lot of tech?" asked Emerald.
"Of course," said Mike. "it all started a thousand years ago." he started to explain.
Flashback:
It begins in a village, where the people are using magic to do impossible tasks, where some people took advantage of the magic.
"The land once has magic. Everybody used to for their aid, and done the impossible."
Then suddenly, dark rays began to descend from the sky.
"The original Protectors used the last of their strength, to defeat King Brax... But at a price."
Then the magic that the people were using vanished. And the magic that was supposed to build anything fell down, where the workers fled.
"The magic disappeared from existence, and without it, all hope is lost."
"If there's no magic, why couldn't the people move to find a new home?" asked Piper.
"Of course the entire Realm has magic. But we have one rule, never conquer a land," said Mike. "as I was saying..."
A few years later, a couple of warriors are fighting each other to rule the land.
"A great battle waged, as two sets of armies fight for total domination of the land. But they've stopped, as they heard the cries of a child.
"Stop!" The armies stopped and saw a young boy on the battlefield.
"We can't keep fighting like this. If we do, it will destroy all life in this land, we got to end this, with or without magic." said the boy.
The armies now understand, that if they keep fighting then this land will be no more.
"The boy's right. This is our home, we should respect it." said a goblin.
"Instead of living like animals, we can live in harmony." said an ogre.
"We can be the founding fathers of a peaceful new utopia." said a warrior. "Let's build it!"
"Together!" they all cheered.
A few months later. The people began to build a new paradise and the most talented people began to invent things.
"Instead of relying on magic, the people use science and technology."
The Great Founding Fathers were amazed by this settlement, which gave on man an idea.
"I hereby name this settlement. Power City!" Everybody cheered by the declaration.
Flashback end:
"And that's how Power City was founded." Mike finished.
"Yeah. And that's how cool, we are!" They glanced at the Young Royals, wearing fancy clothes and to the annoyance of the others.
"Now what is it, planning to ruin our performance?" Sienna spoked.
"No, we just want to see you, lose the contest." Steven mocked.
"Whatever!" Dillon sighed.
"Hey guys, check this out. Horns the Goat will be attending in the Founding Day parade." Mike read the paper.
"Horns," John scoffed. "he's just a smelly old goat," he said. After hearing that, Mike spits out his drink.
"Smelly old goat!" he snapped, and he glared at him. "Horns gave me the inspiration to start my own band. And I don't want you ruining it, for anyone else!" he yelled.
"And speaking of goats. Me and Clawdette are gonna go to a petting zoo to see the griffins." Zeke said and he left.
Meanwhile, at Brax's castle. King Brax is completely furious about Founding Day. A holiday he wished that never existed.
"Founding Day! A pathetic celebration for the fools!" yelled King Brax.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" asked Tetrax.
"The celebration, of the founding of Power City." he answered.
"What's wrong with Founding Day, it is a fun celebration." said Robert.
"And the reminder of my imprisonment, it always tortured me of peace, that must be destroyed."
"Don't worry you Highness, we will destroy the celebration." Tetrax grinned evilly.
Later, back at Power City. Bobby and the other kids are finishing decorating the float of the Mysticons, where some of the Realm Protectors came along.
"How's the float coming along, Bobby?" said Mike.
"Yeah. The gears are connected and the steering wheel is in shape, so the float is good." Bobby said.
"We just can't wait to see this float, in action." said Tom, and he gave Bobby a high-five.
With the Young Royals. They've made their own stand, where the customer shoots a Protector mannequin to win a prize. Which costs ten gold.
"Step right up everybody don't be shy, come up and shoot the outlaw Protectors, just ten gold!" John hollered.
"Hey, John." William spoked. "What's with the stand and the prices?" he questioned, so did the others.
"Don't you guys remember, we raised the Protectors' bounty, so we want to make sure that the bounty hunter we're hiring gets it." he explained the whole thing. That's why the stand and the prices.
Then the parade started, the marching band lead, and the floats followed. And in the middle, is Bobby and the others waving at the crowd.
But what they didn't know, is that Tetrax is hiding in the shadows and summoned a Shadow Trooper.
"Go, and improve the parade." ordered Tetrax.
Then the Shadow Trooper sneaked through the crowd and went behind Bobby's float, and then it started to mess up the gears. And the float went haywire.
"What's happening!?" Bobby questioned. The float spin around and went to the other stands, the crowd avoided the float and Bobby is struggling to control it. Then the Realm Protectors came to see the commotion.
"What's going on?" questioned Mike, and they saw the Mysticon float going berserk. "We gotta save Bobby, guys!" he said.
They went after the float and caught up to it, the others rescued the kids, while Mike is on with Bobby. He checked the clutches and knobs, and then Mike pulled the lever, completely stopping the float.
After the float is stopped, Mike helped Bobby down.
"Bobby, what happened?" Mike asked.
"I don't know. The float was doing fine, and then it went out of control for some reason." Bobby explained.
"Mike, Bobby would never mess up a machine." said Dillon, as he and the others came. Dillon was right, Bobby is a mechanical genius, he never fail anything.
"Your right, Dillon. It could be Tetrax again. Let's go," said Mike, until Mike noticed that Bobby is upset. "what's wrong Bobby?" he asked.
"I thought I could win the trophy, with the float." said Bobby.
"Come on it's just an empty cup. After the celebration, we'll go get ice cream."
Bobby smiled a little, then the Realm Protectors left and checked to see anybody. With the coast cleared, they began to change.
Protector Knight.
Protector Guardian.
Protector Acrobat.
Protector Tracker.
Protector Illusionist.
Later, the Protectors spotted Tetrax and a few SHadow Troopers messing up an arcade game.
"We need to create a distraction, so we can take down the Shadow Troopers." said Mike. "Sienna, you create the illusions. And Zeke, you'll do the rest." he said.
Next, the Shadow Troopers began to disassemble a merry-go-round, until they spotted three sets of foz doing tricks. They flipped around and formed a tower and they raise their left ears.
The Shadow Troopers turned to that direction and spotted Zeke charging at them, they screamed in fright and Zeke sliced them, making them disappear.
The Protectors came and Sienna canceled her illusion.
"That was great teamwork, guys!" said Mike with a smile.
"Well I practiced," said Sienna. But Tetrax appeared, in fury.
"So you Protectors think that you can save this, festival? I don't think so." said Tetrax, and he took out his sword.
The Protectors also took out their swords and charged at him.
Tetrax blocked one of their strikes and dodged a few punches and kicks until he grabbed Mike by the throat.
"Sorry to end this fight quickly. But I got a celebration to ruin." he said, and he threw Mike at the others and they all fell down, and Tetrax escaped.
Later, the Protectors and Mysticons both sat down on a bench.
"I can't believe Tetrax was ordered to destroy Founding Day." Mike spoked.
"I guess Brax hates that holiday so much, it drives him crazy." said Dillon.
"Well he was trapped in a box for a long time." said Zarya.
"Yeah. And Tetrax ruined the float, that Bobby made for the parade." said Sienna in rage, which shocked Piper.
"Sad face emoji." Piper whimpered.
"You're telling me. It took Bobby, a week to build that thing, and now it's ruined." said Tom.
But what they didn't know is that they are being heard by the Young Royals, who suddenly have a little sympathy for the little kid.
"Guys, I'm starting to feel bad for him, y'know, the whole float thing," Gawayne said, sadly.
"Yeah, me too," said John, who feels the same thing too, and they left.
"Come on, guys. We can't give up, we got a celebration to save." Zeke said.
"He's right, we're heroes," said Arkayna. "And like we always say..."
"By the Power of the Codex!"
Later that afternoon, Tetrax and the Shadow Troopers are preparing for one more destruction.
"Excellent. Once the festival is destroyed, the holiday will be no more." said Tetrax. Then out of nowhere, arrows struck the Shadow Troopers. "What?!" he questioned.
Tetrax glanced and spotted the Protectors and Mysticons.
They began fighting the Shadow Troopers, and the Shadow Troopers are having a hard time catching up. Emerald blocked their stack with her shield, and she activated her armor and started knocking them down.
Zeke jumped on top of their heads, and fired a ray at them with a slash from his sword. And Arkayna fired at the troopers.
Then Sienna created illusions of Piper, which causes the Shadow Troopers to be confused. Then the real Piper jumped up and threw her hoops at them, and hit their heads and she caught them. And the Shadow Troopers collapsed.
"You may have beaten my Shadow Troopers, but you will not beat me." said Tetrax. But the Protectors just smirked at him, and Mike glanced at the Mysticons.
"Ladies." said Mike.
"With pleasure," said Arkayna.
"Unleash the Dragon!"
"Fly, Phoenix, Fly!"
"Time to Howl!"
"Battle Unicorn, Charge!" And the girls fired their bracers at Tetrax.
"I hate Founding Day." he said, and they blasted Tetrax. He got back up and retreated.
At the Protectors' castle, everyone was relieved that they got to enjoy the celebration after all.
"Man. That was, epic." said Mike.
"Yeah, we kinda did have fun." said Arkayna. "Especially you're performance, that was pretty cool," she said. Then Bobby came with an excited look on his face.
"Guys! Guys!" yelled Bobby.
"What is it little dude," said Zeke.
"Somebody gave me a thousand gold reward, for making the float." he explained, and this earned a shocking expression from the others.
"A thousand gold prize," Sienna spoked. "but the only people who could give you that prize, are those Royal Slobs." she said.
"Really? Who knew." said Emerald.
"Y'know guys, I think those Slacker Kings are starting to change." said Mike.
Who knows if the Young Royals are gonna change? They say, give them a few more years.
