Chel saw what I meant when we were on the nearest cliff and I showed her and Rika. Minutes ago, Altivo and I were here gathering the firewood when I saw what I thought was a group of monsters swimming in the sea approaching this island. That was when Altivo and I ran to warn the others. We couldn't find any; all we could find was Chel and Rika. When we came back to this cliff, we stopped to see how closer the monsters were coming to us.

"Are these monsters the same ones that attacked Moana's island?" Chel asked.

"I'm not one hundred percent sure," I said, "but I can't imagine anyone else besides these guys being capable of attacking islands."

"What about Kasper?" Rika asked. "Benito? Olaf? Uncle Miguel? Moana and her friends?"

I never ceased to be amazed that Rika called me and Miguel uncles and Chela auntie. "We're going to help them, Rika." I kicked Altivo and we rode off to New Motunui.


When we arrived at New Motunui, we saw the villagers were taking action all ready. Those who couldn't fight, such as the elderly, the children too young to learn how to fight and others like Hei Hei, Pua and Olaf, were taking shelter. Moana and her warriors were armed with their spears. I saw Miguel was with them, holding a sword. It was the same one he had kept since we left Kumandra. It was all he had to remind him of Raya.

We dropped from Altivo. "Chel, get Rika and Altivo to safety," I told her as I went to join Miguel, Moana and the villagers.

"Where is Benito and Kasper?" Rika asked.

"Let's hope that they're under shelter," Chel said to her, as they went to the shelter.

"Hey, I see them!" Miguel cried, pointing.

I saw where he pointed to and he was right. Benito and Kasper were on a hill, each holding a spear. What were they doing there at a time like this?

"BEN –"

One of the villagers nudged me. "Pardon me, Lord Tulio, but we were hoping these monsters will not spot us. They will do that if you make noise."

I got the message.

"KASPER! BENITO! Come back down here!"

Rika didn't and she started to run off to them.

"RIKA!" Chel cried. "COME BACK!"

I tried to join them, but we were all greeted by a loud mighty roar. We turned to see a giant yellow monkey approaching us. He screeched loudly at us. The warriors flew spears at them, but it dodged them. We tried to run, but we got blocked off by a giant black jaguar. Then a giant eagle and a giant crocodile joined in blocking us. The warriors threw all the spears they had at the monsters, but they all dodged them. I saw another monster that was looked like a giant turtle knocking down the shelter down and started to chase the fleeing villagers.

It all looked like the end was coming for us when we heard something that sounded like a –

"Cheehoo!"

It was coming from the sky. We saw a man, wearing a skirt of banana leaves and holding a giant fish hook, landed on the jaguar monster and started to fight him.

"Maui!" Moana cried.

Everyone cheered.

"Is this your demi-god friend?" Miguel asked.

"It is, Miguel," she replied.

Then we saw Maui fight the turtle monster and rescue the feeling villagers.

Then I heard some yelling. It made me see small children getting attacked by the eagle monster.

"Hey, let them go!" Miguel cried, as he charged for it.

"Miguel, wait!" I cried.

But he didn't stop. I went after him, but I was too late to stop him because the eagle monster swiped him with up its power wings.

"MIGUEL!" I cried, as I watched him fly over the trees. I tried to go after him, but I was got pinned down the jaguar monster and my head got hit on a big rock. It was so tough and I started to go unconscious.


I groaned as I woke up. I felt my head, which still hurt. But I realised that I was still breathing and I was grateful to still be alive. I got up slowly and started to walk slowly. I saw New Motunui was quite damaged. All of the huts were damaged and the trees near it were knocked down. But the good thing was that I didn't see any dead bodies. All of the New Motunui tribe hadn't lost a single family member or friend and they were all relieved to see each other. They all thanked Maui for all the heroic deeds he did and he kept saying, "You're welcome."

Then seeing the reunited families together reminded me that I couldn't see Chel, Benito or Miguel. I got on Alvito and we rode, searching for them on the island.

I called for them as we searched. No one replied back and we couldn't find any dead bodies. We only found a few more trees fall down as well as a few rocks from the mountains. We rode onto the cliffs to see if they were any bodies lying on the beach or floating in the sea. Then we rode to the top of the hill and I saw both the stone houses of mine and Miguel's were both destroyed. Even Altivo's stable was wrecked. I went in both houses and checked if my family wasn't crushed to death. I was relived when their bodies weren't crushed, but I was still worried where they could be.

"Did you have any luck?"

I jumped when I turned to see who scared me. It was Maui.

"What are you a demigod of, practical jokes?" I snapped at him.

Maui chuckled. "Yeah, I should be known as Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men and women and practical jokes. That's good, Tulio. I'll add that."

One thing I knew already about Maui was that he was not a demigod of brains. "No, I can't find Chel or Benito or Miguel."

"I can't find Moana either. I can't find her body at all."

Then I noticed another person I just noticed I couldn't find was Olaf. I couldn't find any parts of him at all. Not one stick missing from him.

When Maui sat down on the rubble of my old home, I joined him. "Have you fought those monsters before?"

"Of course, I've been fighting them for weeks," Maui said. "But before that, no. These monsters aren't like anything I've ever fought before in all of my millenniums. As you see, I haven't been able to kill one of them. These guys are too much, even for a demigod like me."

"Could those monsters serve some sort of full god or could they be gods themselves?" I asked.

"If they are, they are like nothing I've ever seen," Maui said.

"Do you think they're after something?" I asked.

"I think so. I would have taken one and interrogated it if I could, but all they wanted to do was fight."

Then I heard some groaning. I followed it and it took me to one of the monsters. It was the one that looked like a giant vulture and it looked like it was struggling in pain. "MAUI!" I called.

The demigod arrived and smiled at me. "Good work, partner." He approached the monster and caught the monster under his beak with his hook. "Okay, Long Beak. Tell me what you and your buddies are doing before I rip your wings off."

The monster chuckled. "You couldn't make me talk if you could weld a million of those hooks, Maui."

Then I had an idea. "Would you talk if we could heal you?"

"What?" Maui looked puzzled.

The monster chuckled again. "Now, why would you do that to me after what my friends and I have done to you?"

"Well, it might change your mind into helping us," I said. "Like a sort of 'you help us and we help you' kind of thing."

"Save your breath, Tulio," Maui said. "You can't reason with monsters like that."
"Well, I can see your hook is doing the better job," I said.

"You see?" said the monster. "There's nothing – no weapons, no food, no water, no medicine and no gold – that will make me tell you about our mission to capture the Mortal Son of Our Gods and bring him to them." Then he gulped.

Maui was surprised at what just happened, but I was pleased with myself that I managed to get this monster to spill the beans. Well, some of them.

"Who is this Mortal Son of the gods you serve?" Maui demanded, putting his hook back under the monster's beak.

"I don't know," he said. "None of us do. That's why we are searching everywhere in the world and attacking villages, hoping we would either find him or he would surrender to us. That's all I know, I swear to my gods. Keep holding your hook up any longer or hurting me won't make me tell you anything more."

"How would you like to fly away now?" Maui asked.

"I'd be ever so grateful."

But he wasn't grateful to fly away when Maui flicked him over with his hook and vanished into the clouds.

"The Mortal Son of some gods?" Maui said. "Who could it be? How is that even possible?"

How could a mortal be the son of some powerful gods? Then after gathering everything about these monsters searching for this mortal and how Arendelle was invaded and how my family and friends were missing, I thought of a very weird theory that could also be very true. "Miguel!"

"What about Miguel?"

"He could be the Mortal Son those monsters are searching for," I told him. When he couldn't understand, I started to explain. I started with how when I first met him when we were kids back in Spain. Like me, he was an orphan and so was his mean older sister. None of them knew their parents ever and I didn't know mine. The closest thing I had to a father figure was Benito who took me in when he did, which is why I named my son after him. He was the one who found Miguel and took him in to join us and that was when we became best friends. He taught us how to read, write, count, fight and escape (all which came in handy when we had to escape the guards in Spain before we left and our adventures began).

Then after I told Maui quickly as I could about our adventures in El Dorado, Arendelle and Kumandra this island, I told Maui about how the kingdom of Arendelle recently got invaded. "These monster attacks and Arendelle might all be a trap to lure Miguel to these gods, if he is their Mortal Son."

"Bilmey," Maui said. "That is one incredible theory."

"Well, I'm going to find my best friend before his divine parents ascend him to them," I said.

"If your theory is true, both of you will need help," Maui said. "Even the two of us might not be enough. We will need as much help as we can get."


I was surprised when we asked the villagers of New Motunui to help rescue Miguel they all volunteered. They all told that they really liked Miguel and they believed in him. We left the elderly, the children, Hei Hei and Pua behind and I left Alvito in charge of the whole island before I joined Maui and the New Motunui fleet to rescue my best friend.

As we sailed away from the island, I remembered no one still found Chel, Benito, Kasper, Rika, Olaf or Moana. I started to wonder where they could be and then I started to think if they were set up as baits in more traps for Miguel.
