Isaiah's POV
It all started just fine and dandy. There were no Decepticon attacks at first, which gave me the perfect excuse to work on something that my uncle used to do: design and build Androids for the Fazbear Restaurants throughout the country. I was working on one that the location in Fresno had asked for: a Freddy-type android that was similar to my Funtime Freddy outfit except without Bon Bon on its right hand. That and it had to be kid-sized and kid-friendly.
I was currently working on the power source for the android when the last battery I was using on the android blew up in my face. "Damn!" I whispered as I threw my towel on the chair. "That was my last battery," I rambled, "what am I supposed to use to power up the damn thing?"
My attention then turned toward the black tubes that were sitting right next to the invention that I was working on from before my fight with that Gundam. Don't be an idiot! I thought, turning my head away, You don't even know if it'll work. The last time you tried that, it caused that ragdoll to permanently fry its own circuitry. I got up and walked toward the black tubes and typed a couple of numbers into the keypad, which opened up to reveal eight sparks that were held in stasis. Not only that, but it also caused the spark to burn out as well! The voice in the back of my head commented as I opened one of the tubes and pulled out the spark within it.
I walked toward the android's opened chest and looked at its lifeless eyes. I was about to put the spark into the chest cavity when I heard a voice say, "Isaiah!" I jumped and dropped the spark into its chest cavity by accident. I turned around only to see Lacus standing there.
"You okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine," I replied, covering the android with a tarp. "How did you get in here?" I asked, trying to change the subject.
"I know the password remember?" she replied, giving me a confused look. "Is this about your father's death? If so, then I am so sorry about what happened and-"
"I'm fine, Lacus," I interrupted, walking toward the door. "I've never felt better!" I lied, opening the door with Lacus following behind me.
"I'm no psychologist, Isaiah, but I think it would be best if you were to take a little time off, maybe spend some time with your sisters?" I stopped dead in my tracks when she said that."I know you're Optimus Prime and all but you have to remember that before that you were - and still are - Isaiah Valenzuela." I sighed as she said this. "Alyssa and Alana don't need a Prime to help them, they need their older brother."
"I-" I paused as I realized that there was no way out of what she said. "Damn it, Lacus." I replied, "that's not fair….."
"When have I ever been fair?" she teased, looking at Kicker before we went out the door.
"So where are we going?" Lacus asked. "Certainly not out on patrol, Isaiah?"
"I was actually thinking about visiting Bethany today, see how she's doing." Lacus raised her eyebrow as she heard me said this.
"Isaiah James Macedonio Valenzuela," She teased, "You're not falling in love with her are you?"
"What makes you say that?" I asked, clearly confused by what she said.
"It's been about a month and you've visited her twice a week." She replied.
I was about to say something when my communicator beeped, indicating that a Decepticon attack was happening.
"Go be a Prime!" Lacus said. With that, I ran to do my job as Optimus Prime.
"What's the story this time?!" I asked as I dodged some blaster fire from our current adversary, which was the Decepticon known as Bonecrusher.
"Guy just landed and tried attacking random targets just to draw us out," Neo exclaimed as he fired at the Decepticon, "It worked too." I shrugged as I dodged some of Bonecrusher's swipes.
"So anything new?" I inquired as I pulled out my sword and stabbed Bonecrusher in the foot.
"New Prime appeared after that fight with Shen." Kicker replied. "This one seems different though," This piqued my interest.
"How so?" I asked as I was tackled by Bonecrusher. (He really lived up to his name)
"Well," Miko replied, "For one, he's managed to evade us at every attempt to locate him and has been able to take down any Decepticons sent after him by himself."
"So what?" I said as I punched in Bonecrusher's face so hard that one of his optics sprung out, "I once took down 5 Predacons and managed to defeat Predaking on my first day as Optimus Prime."
"That's you as a Prime," Russell commented, "The new Prime did this without any sort of power-up whatsoever."
"You're kidding!" I exclaimed as I ripped off Bonecrusher's crane arm and put him in a headlock. "He really did that without turning into a Prime?" My hand sucked into my arm and ejected an energon ax.
"It gets weirder," Neo continued, "After that, he vanishes off the map! I can't even sense him."
"That is quite a dilemma," I said as I pushed my ax into Bonecrusher's neck until his head was completely severed off. His head hit the ground with a loud clang. My hand transformed back as I walked toward the others. "That is strange," I remarked as I put my hand on where my chin would be.
"So what now?" a child who wore gold armor asked as I looked at him. I gave a confused look.
"I'm sorry who are you?" I asked.
"This is Sentinel Prime," Neo replied, "he was the Prime that appeared during your absence." I nodded to show that I understood what he was saying.
I made a notion indicating that we leave before the reporters came.
When we got to the base I noticed that something wasn't right. I gave a motion with my hand that told them to stay until I said so. Entering the base, the first thing I noticed was a disc that said, "Plug me in" Curious, I scanned it to make sure that there were no viruses on the disc. When I did that, I plugged it into the giant computer monitor, waiting to see what it did.
At first, nothing happened. I shrugged and was about to tell the others to come in only for the monitor to come alive and speak to me in a language that only Latinos knew: Spanish.
The time is coming for when the sleeping behemoth is to be reawakened. The message spoke. Journey to the Heart of Mexico in order to claim your birthright and learn the truth of what happened that day. I was confused by that. What day was it talking about? Surely it wasn't talking about the day Mexico died? It still had more to say however, Child of Mexico, you and your sisters must avenge your fallen brothers and sisters so they may rest in peace.
With that, the message ended. I was confused by what it said. Heart of Mexico? Sleeping Behemoth? Birthright? What did it all mean? More importantly, why me and my sisters?
"Everything alright?" I heard Miko ask as the others entered the base. "We were getting worried and thought you died or something." I gave Miko a scowled look when she said that.
"I'm fine" I lied, ejecting the disc out without them trying to notice. "I just had a brief moment where I was thinking about Gilbert." They all gave me a look that said "really?"
"I noticed that while you were fighting Bonecrusher," Neo commented as I realized that he knew what I just saw. "I think it would be best if you took a little sabbatical with your sisters." Kicker looked at him like he was crazy before sighing.
"Can't do that," He said, "We need him in case you forgot, clone."
"For what?' I asked.
"Not what, why." Miko replied, "We don't want a repeat of what happened with the Shadow Dragons."
"While I appreciate the concern, I really believe it would be useful if I took some time off," I turned back into a human and grabbed my backpack. "If I didn't, it would continue to grow until I snap and go crazy."
Seeing the logic in this, the others reluctantly agreed to let me go on a little vacation with my sisters. There was something, however, that I needed to take care of before my sisters and I left for Mexico: someone to take my place while I'm gone. Neo would take care of my Prime self but Isaiah Valenzuela needed to be in the same place in case Bethany decided to connect the dots and tried to figure out my secret.
That's when I had an idea.
Alyssa's POV
"WE'RE GOING WHERE?!" I exclaimed as Isaiah packed our stuff.
"You heard me." he replied, we're going to Mexico." He grabbed an extra grappling hook and put it inside the backpack he had on the bed.
"But Older Brother!" Alana said, "Mexico is a nuclear wasteland now! Everyone knows that Mexico is uninhabitable!"
"That's the weird thing." Isaiah replied, "Mexico's nuclear radiation has dropped significantly in the past 5 years." I gave him a confused look as he said this, indicating that I didn't really believe what he was saying. Seeing this, he gave me a pad that had statistical data on it that seemed to prove he was right.
"What does that prove?" I inquired. "That something is draining away at the nuclear radiation somehow in some way?" He nodded at me. "Well, if your theory is correct. Then where is all the radiation going? All of that nuclear radiation would have to go somewhere."
"That's where it gets interesting." He replied, activating a projector, "the radiation seems to be absorbed into what appears to be some kind of battery or something like that." The video showed all sorts of scientific stuff that I knew nothing about.
I turned toward Alana to see what her opinion on the matter was. As usual, she seemed okay with the idea that we go together as long as we stayed together. I sighed, knowing that I was outvoted like usual, brought up the next question concerning us. "Who's gonna stand-in for us while we're off on this wild goose chase?"
Like always, Isaiah seemed to have an answer to this. "I built Android replicas of us and I programmed with virtually every aspect of our personalities." He pressed a button that opened a panel that caused a wall to open up and revealed exact duplicates of us with one major difference: they had lines going down from their eyes to the bottom of their faces.
"How did you make these?" Alana asked as she inspected her android look alike. "They look like they came from Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria."
"I actually just used some bases that my Uncle Adam had built already and just went from there," Isaiah replied. "The Freddy Android is actually based on an older me, Alyssa's Android is the template for the Puppet and your model, Alana, was the template for JayJay."
After that happened, I asked, "How are we getting to Mexico? You don't expect us to walk there do you?"
Isaiah smiled, "Sis, you should know by now that I would never torture you like that." He turned into Optimus Prime and said, "We're gonna fly there!"
"Okay…" I said, "How you plan on flying us there when I'm the only one who can actually fly?" Isaiah looked at me before making a notion that indicated we follow him to where ever he was going.
Neo's POV
"So what now?" Kicker asked as we watched Isaiah and his sisters leave. "Who did Isaiah leave in charge while he and his sisters are on sabbatical?"
"I can answer that." the Isaiah android replied as he walked in with a tray full of refreshments. "Isaiah has left very specific instructions declaring that Russell is to be your leader while he is away." We all turned to Russell as soon as the Android finished saying what he was saying.
"What?!" Russell exclaimed, in a panic. "Why me?!"
"I was given instructions that clearly stated that Russell Clay is to be labeled as second in command per orders of the original Isaiah Valenzuela himself." The android replied, before putting down the refreshments. "While we are on the subject, I would like to inform you that while Isaiah is gone Neo will be taking his place as Optimus Prime."
"How am I going to do that?" I inquired.
The android replied, "Isaiah had taken the liberty of giving you a device that can refract light and give off Optimus Prime's color scheme."
"With that being said," Kicker commented, turning toward Russell, "What do you suggest, fearless leader?"
Russell's POV
I officially hate Isaiah James Macedonio Valenzuela. What the heck was he thinking, making me leader while he and his sisters go on some vacation?! I didn't know anything about leadership!
"What do you suggest fearless leader?" Kicker inquired.
"I guess we should look for our next Prime?" I said, unsure of what to say.
"How do we do that?" Miko asked, clearly annoyed, "We all know that this new Prime can mask their energy signature. By the time there's been a Decepticon attack and we're there, they're gone!"
That was when I realized something, we were thinking about this all wrong. What if the Prime we were looking for never left the attack areas. What if they were…. hiding in plain sight?
"I've got it!" I exclaimed, "Every time we hear of a new Decepticon attack it's suddenly halted by this new Prime right?"
Everyone nodded by this.
"And by the time we get there, this new arrival is gone, right?"
Another nod. Good.
"What if this new Prime was really hiding in plain sight?" I finished, "What if this new Prime is capable of masking both his energy signature and his appearance?"
"What are you saying?" Daniel commented, "that the new Prime is some kind of shapeshifter or something?"
"Exactly!" I said as I turned to Gundam, "Gundam, are there any Primes who are capable of altering their appearance?"
Gundam nodded while saying, "Amalgamous Prime is known for being able to change his body into anything and anyone. He has no limits to his shapeshifting."
"So what are we waiting for?" Neo inquired, "Let's go find this new Prime!"
"We can't rush in and expect to find him just out of the blue!" Jack exclaimed, "We need some kind of plan so we can draw him out!"
"How are we going to do that?" Raf asked, which caused us to stop and think about how we were going to get Amalgamous Prime's attention.
"What if we were to simulate a Decepticon attack so that way it would get his attention?" Miko suggested.
"We'd have to not show up for him to appear, Miko." Kicker commented.
Miko pouted. "It was worth a shot…." she said.
"What if when the Decepticons attacked, we just let them come to us and let Amalgamous Prime save us!" Daniel remarked.
"That would expose our identities which would cause the Decepticons and other lowlife criminals to attack our friends and loved ones." I quickly pointed out. "We've gotta think of a way to get in contact with Amalgamous Prime."
We all sat in silence until our communicators beeped, indicating a Decepticon attack was happening.
"I can't believe I get to say this!" I exclaimed, holding up my badge. "Primes! Transform and Roll Out!"
"PRIME WITHIN AWAKEN!" We exclaimed as we held out our badges.
Isaiah's POV
"You know, Isaiah," Alyssa remarked as we trekked across the desert, "when you said we were traveling to Mexico, I was hoping we wouldn't have to-"
"Walk part of the way?" I finished as I sliced a cactus in half. "I personally believe that it's nice to enjoy nature while you can, Alyssa."
"No offense, older brother," Alana panted, "but you couldn't think of finding a way of traveling to Mexico that was-"
"Calming?" I inquired, looking at the clear sky.
"Cooler…." Alana corrected, falling on her knees.
"I find the heat rather refreshing," I replied, "It helps clear all of the otherwise useless and distracting thoughts in my head. Besides," I continued as I gave them some water from the cactus. "You said you wanted to travel the same way as our ancestors did." I waved toward the desert, "Well, there you are…."
"I feel like I'm seeing things…." Alyssa said, "Either that or it's your damn holomatter program acting up again."
"Why do you say that, Chola?" Alana inquired.
"I think it's because of that," I replied, pointing to what looked like some sort of tower.
"What is that?" I asked as we got closer to the object only to be shocked by what we saw.
"Alana, do you see that?" Alyssa asked, amazed by the sight. "I've only seen pictures of them but to see one in person…"
"It can't be….." Alana gasped.
"It is, Alyssa and Alana….." I whispered, "There's no doubt about it….. those wings, the weaponry….. the alebrijes color scheme… It's an Omega Sentinel!"
Omega Sentinels were guardians created by Mexico in its final days as a way to protect Mexico from external threats. At least, that's what I've heard. I could be wrong.
"Is it on?" I wondered as we inspected it. It turned around and aimed its arm cannon at us. "Guess that answers that….." I mumbled. If I talk to it, I might be able to convince it that we're not a threat…. I thought. "Greetings, friend!" I began holding my hands up to show that I meant no harm, "We are travelers in this wilderness and we're very surprised to find you out here!" I continued, hoping it would listen to us. "Will you speak with us?" I inquired.
"You should not be here!" It said, "I wait only for a child of Mexico or the Prime to awaken Behemoth and to avenge their fallen brothers and sisters-and none may disturb my watch!"
"Wait! Wait!" I exclaimed, "My sisters and I are children of Mexico and I am the Prime! There's no need for violence!"
"You lie!" The Sentinel exclaimed angrily, "How dare you claim to be Rodimus Prime and a Child of Mexico! Prepare to be terminated!" With that, it began to charge up its ion cannon.
"Wait!" I exclaimed, "Please, Great One!" I turned into a Prime along with Alyssa and Alana going Super Chicana, "Let us show you…." I opened my chest, revealing the Matrix in my chest.
"It's true then….." The Omega Sentinel responded, bowing before us on one knee. "You are here to avenge Mexico….."
"I'm not sure about the avenge Mexico part but we are here to get answers about what happened that day."
"You seek answers about Mexico's death….." The giant said. "I will take you to the site where the awakening is to take place."
"That's nice….." Alyssa said, "How are you going to take us there?" The Omega Sentinel responded.
"I'm afraid I can only take you to a part of the way….." The giant said, "After I transport you, you will encounter many difficult trials that not even your powers can help with…."
"Thank you, Great One," I remarked as he transformed into a ship and opened up a ramp. "We owe you a great debt. What is your name so that we may properly address you?"
"Supreme," The Omega Sentinel replied as we flew off, "I am Omega Supreme."
Miko's POV
"How the frag did Isaiah take down these slaggin' things?!" I screamed in frustration as I dodged a blast from the combiner known as Liokaiser, "He made it sound so easy!"
"You have obviously never fought a combiner before," Neo commented.
"And you have?!" Russell commented as he was slapped into a McDonalds, destroying it.
"Of course," Neo replied, "When I was with the Decepticons, I managed to take down Computron and Defensor who were both the Autobots' strongest Combiner teams." That explained a lot…..
"Computron and Defensor were weaklings!" Liokaiser exclaimed, firing his gun at Daniel, "I, Liokaiser, will succeed where Menasor and Predaking failed!"
"You can bite my shiny metal ass!" I exclaimed, swinging my hammer at his face. "If you're so strong then why don't you split up and fight us individually?"
Idiot. Looks like that's what they were going to do because Liokaiser all of a sudden split into the Breastforce and started to attack us individually.
"Where's the new Prime when you need him?!" I screamed as I felt my leg being grabbed. "FRAAAAAGGGGG!" I screamed as I swung around like a sling by Leozack. He let go only to have me be caught by...Neo?
"You okay Solus?" he asked, putting me down gently. "I was passing by and saw that you were in trouble."
Looking at the battle I realized that Neo was still fighting Guyhawk as Optimus Prime. That's when I realized that this was the next Prime. He was Alamgamous Prime. Thinking fast, I replied, "Thanks, Nemesis. While I appreciate your concern we still have the matter at hand to deal with." I pointed toward the Breastforce who had pinned down most of the Primes.
"Right," Amalgamous Prime, still pretending to be Neo replied, "Follow my lead, I'll handle Hellbat while you take on Killbison, okay?" With that, he charged toward Hellbat and was about to take him down when I pulled out some stasis cuffs and attached them to his wrists."What the-?!" he exclaimed, "Solus, what are you doing?! Are you trying to get us all killed?!" Then, to Amalgamous' surprise, the Breastforce stopped what they were doing and helped the other Primes up.
"Nice try, Amalgamous Prime," Kicker commented, "I do appreciate what you did there though, pretending to be Nemesis Prime when you saw that he wasn't here."
"We want our payment, please," Leozack commented as the real Neo, in Isaiah's colors, walked to them.
"Your payment has been done and is currently on your ship waiting for you," Neo replied, "Thank you for your services, Leozack." Amalgamous Prime looked at Neo, confused by what was going on as the Breastforce left.
"We knew that there was a chance that you'd show up if there was a Decepticon attack so the real Neo," Russell explained, pointing to Neo as he shut off his light refractor, "contacted a group of former Decepticons who were in his debt after he got them safely off of Cybertron and paid them to stage a Decepticon attack to get your attention!"
"But the buildings, the people-" Amalgamous stuttered.
"Don't worry," Daniel replied, "the people were all holograms and the buildings were all condemned by the city."
"We better take him back to our base," I said, "We don't want actual Decepticons on our tails right now." Everyone except for Amalgamous (who was trying to break free of the cuffs) nodded at that. Neo transformed and opened up his trailer, signifying that he wanted Amalgamous to be put in his trailer.
"Don't even think about trying to shapeshift your way out of those cuffs," I commented, "I personally designed those stasis cuffs to ensure that no Prime could break out of them." The only way to break out of those cuffs is if he entered Cybertron Mode, I thought. but something tells me he doesn't know how to go into that form.
With that, we drove back to our base only to find it somewhat different.
Alana's POV
"Thanks for the ride, Omega Supreme," Older Brother remarked as we flew toward the Pyramids of Mexico. I was sitting in between Chola and Older Brother at the time. They had not really spoken to each other since we got on the Omega Sentinel. I didn't blame them. It's been hard on all of us since Papa died. For me and Chola, we lost someone who loved and cared about us a lot. For Older Brother, he lost a chance to bond with someone. Come to think of it, I didn't really know Older Brother that well. There was so much about him that I doubted even Chola knew much about our brother.
I was about to speak when Omega Supreme spoke, "We have arrived at the temple." We got up and was about to walk out when Omega Supreme said, "Be wary of the dangers ahead, they will test you all."
"In that case, we better transform," Isaiah remarked as we went into our super forms.
"The trials that you will face require you to come as you are." Omega Supreme replied. "Omega: Tired, Solution: Rest." He opened the doors to reveal the ancient Aztec pyramids before us.
"You're kidding, right?" Alyssa asked, looking at Isaiah, "This is where all of that nuclear radiation has been going to?" We exited our shuttle. "How is that even possible?!" That was when I felt something being off.
"Chola, Older Brother?" I asked, looking at them with concern. Older Brother and Chola stopped what they were doing and looked around.
"I feel it too, sis" Older Brother replied as we looked around. "It's that feeling that you get when-"
"When it's a trap." someone said behind us. We turned and saw a former president.
Former President Dullindel was behind us, holding a gun in his hand, pointing it at us. "Don't even think about transforming into Super Chicanos." He remarked, "I've got men who'll have you join your fallen brethren in less than a minute." Looking at each other, we all realized that we were both outnumbered and outgunned. Unwillingly, we surrendered, which gave them the opportunity to swarm us and have guns pointed at the back of our heads.
"You don't think he knows of your secret identities, do you?" I asked Older Brother and Chola in Spanish.
"Don't know," Older Brother replied, "But he knows about Super Chicanos so there's a chance he might know."
"Shut it!" A soldier barked, hitting Older Brother in the back of the head with his gun.
"Don't kill them," Dullindel remarked as he walked up to the front of one of the Pyramids, "At least, not until I have what I want." He began walking up the steps of the Pyramid with us following him. "I've always admired the way the Aztecs chose to honor their gods: human sacrifice." I looked at Older brother and Chola for an explanation, but they didn't say anything. "They believed that the heart was both the seat of the individual and a fragment of the Sun's heat." He walked up to the altar that lied before him. "They believed that they owed a sort of blood debt to the gods. The Aztecs believed that if they didn't pay this debt, they would be destroyed."
Why is he talking about this? I thought as Dullindel caressed the altar. What does he want? I looked at Older Brother and Chola only to see that they were looking down in defeat. "What do you want?" I asked. Dullindel turned around and looked at me.
"What do I want?" he asked, "What I want, is what's rightfully mine." He stroked my chin, "I want Behemoth."
"What?" Older Brother asked. "What the heck is Behemoth?"
"Not what," Dullindel said, "Who." He began to walk toward Older Brother. "To answer your question though, Behemoth is the reason Mexico is no longer around."
"What do you mean the reason…" Older Brother stopped before he put two and two together. "You did it," he whispered. "You were the one who was responsible for Mexico's death…. You killed millions of people to get your filthy hands on something that doesn't even exist!" He screamed, trying to break free of his restraints so he could beat Dullindel up.
"That's the sad thing," Dullindel replied, his tone and face being anything but that. "They could have just taken the money and given Behemoth to me." His smile turned contorted into a sneer. "But they had to say no." He pressed a button that was on the altar, which caused the altar to move and reveal a set of stairs that lead downwards. "Mexicans first," Dullindel said, forcing me, Chola, and Older Brother to go down the steps in case there were any traps.
"What are we going to do, Isaiah?" Chola asked in Spanish. "If they get what they want, they'll kill us with no hesitation."
"Patience Alyssa," Older Brother replied, "We just have to wait and see what happens. If they try to do anything to Alana, we'll just transform into our other forms." He then winced, which made me and Chola look at his butt. I noticed that there was a little nub forming at where the tail bone would be.
"How much longer?" I asked, looking at him in worry.
"Till I'm 20?" He replied, "About 4 months now." In Mexican culture, the males have two stages of puberty: the first stage is a normal one, but the second stage turns them into animals. The males, upon reaching their 20th birthday, have to be locked up in order to protect the women they knew. After that was over, the male would grow a simian tail that would signify that he was fully mature.
"No talking!" one of the soldiers exclaimed, "Unless you want to join the rest of your kind!"
We continued to walk until we stopped in front of a hallway that was made of metal. "I believe this is one of those trials I heard the Omega Sentinel talk about." He pointed to Older Brother and said, "You, translate this for me!" he pointed toward a tablet that was written in an old language.
Isaiah's POV
From what I could tell, it wasn't written in Spanish or Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. It was written in Neo-Cybex for some reason.
"To pass through here," I translated, "You must have the mark of the Prime. However, to unleash the Aztec within, you must tame the Spanish without." then looked at my left shoulder, then looked at my sisters in worry.
"Mark of the Prime?" Dullindel asked. "What does that mean?" he pointed a gun at Alana.
"I don't know," I lied. "If I did, I would tell you." Then my left shoulder began to burn and glow. I collapsed and screamed in pain. "OW! OW!" Dullindel's men grabbed me and pulled up my left sleeve, revealing my birthmark, which was glowing. The birthmark was shaped like the Autobot badge that I use to transform into Optimus Prime.
"Mark of the Prime.." Dullindel smiled.
I said nothing as he grabbed me and shoved me into the tunnel. I walked until I noticed something off. No sooner did I turn around that I felt an intense pressure coming from inside me. It was a burning feeling that seared from the inside.I fell on all fours as I groaned in pain before roaring like a jaguar.
"What the?!" I heard one of the soldiers say before seeing a clone come out of me. This clone was in Cybertron mode in Prime Form. I then felt myself go Super Chicano without warning. The clone and I stood there, not moving an inch.
"Who are you?" I asked. Hoping to get an answer from it.
"Isn't it obvious?" the dark clone replied in a deeper version of my voice, "I'm you."
'You're my Spanish side…" I realized, "That means I'm-"
"The Aztec half." The Dark clone replied. "You represent the savageness side while I'm the more civilized part of you," I growled at this.
"What the Spanish did to the Aztecs was anything but civilized," I argued. "The Aztecs thought the Spanish were gods and therefore did their bidding." I clenched my fists. "Until the Spanish decided to go to war with them."
"No one is ever truly innocent." The clone commented. "Like you." At this, I lost control and threw a fist at him. He grabbed it with his hand. He swung me into a wall before pulling out his Ion blaster and preparing to fire. "Any last words?" he asked. I looked at him before kicking his crotch only for my foot to be jacked up. I grabbed my foot in pain as he put the barrel of the gun on my chest. I grabbed his hand only for a light to come out of both of us. Only then did I see something strange in his eyes. Fear. Rage. Hate. Suffering. This guy was more than just my Spanish half, he was my dark side. The side that I've been trying to push away since my father's death. I realized what the sign meant: It didn't literally mean to tame my Spanish half, it meant to accept all of the negativity that I was holding inside.
"I do," I replied, "Till all are one!" I exclaimed, grabbing the dark clone and pulling him toward me. A bright light shone from the dark clone and me as we began to fuse began together and become one. When the light had gone down, I was in my Super Chicano and Prime form before turning back to normal.
"That was interesting," I heard Dullindel say, "Moving on," he said, motioning us to walk into the hallway. As we walked, Alyssa asked me a question.
"What was that?" she asked in Spanish. "You were standing there before splitting into two people then fought each other and then became one person again."
"I was coming to terms with Father's death," I replied, "Something tells me that you will have to as well, just in a different way." We stopped at a large room that was filled with ropes with yellow, grey, and bronze colors on them.
"What in the name of-?" one soldier said as he pulled on one of the ropes. No sooner did he do that the floor began to fall apart, with gree, toxic gas coming out of the ground.
"Run!" I screamed, causing my sisters to take advantage of the situation and run away with me.
"Don't let them escape!" I heard Dullindel scream as we ran toward the exit. However, right when we were about to reach the exit, the gas stopped, which caused 2 giant robots designed to look like Eagle Knights and Jaguar Knights to appear and attack us.
"Prime within, Awaken!" I screamed while Alyssa attempted to turn into Lightning Sapphire. Nothing happened.
"What's going on?!" I exclaimed as the Eagle and Jaguar Knight robots swung their War clubs at us, sealing our fate…..
To be continued…..
