Chapter 3
Cesar Maldonado!!
Cesar grins and grabs his toothpick that was in his mouth and flicks it to the ground.
"Cesar you bastard! You got guts showing your face in front of me!" Ben yelled.
"Remember me? Traitor? I'm the one that kicked your ass! "Cesar said putting his fists up.
Ben stood quiet looking away.
Cesar looks at Marcos.
"Long time no see Marcos you've grown since the last time we met…" Cesar said.
"I have no time to deal with low lives like you" Marcos replied.
"Still don't forgive me huh? I always remembered you as person that holds grudges but anyways; it was good times when we were young…But too bad… you're the traitor to the Organization; I know your plan is to get a hold of Tony…you're to be executed." Cesar grinned.
Marcos stood silent.
Tony looked at Marcos and Cesar; a flash back went through his mind.
4th grade…Marcos and Ben were beating Tony up; pushing him towards the wall.
"Stop it! I'm going tell my mom!" Tony cried.
Marcos and Ben laughs.
"You're such a cry baby…" Marcos said.
"Leave him alone!" A voice called from behind.
Marcos and Ben turned looking back.
"Pick on someone your own size" he said.
"Who are you?" Marcos asked.
"Doesn't matter who I am" He replied.
Tony looks up and sees the student standing having his fists up.
"Who is he?" Tony told himself.
"I don't have time dealing with a squirt like you…Ben grab him" Marcos said.
"My pleasure" Ben said grinning.
Ben walked towards Cesar and tries to grab him.
Cesar moves his right arm and punches Ben in the nose; making Ben fall back to the ground.
Ben gets up and notices his nose was bleeding; the way he looked at his hand covered in blood shocked him. Ben started to cry.
"What did you do to me?" Ben ran away crying.
Marcos tried to grab Cesar; But Cesar kicks him in the groin making Marcos go to the floor crying.
"Ha! That's what you get! "Cesar pointed.
Marcos gets up wiping the tears off his face.
Marcos looks at Cesar and runs away.
"Ha ha! That's what you get for messing with me!" Cesar yelled.
Cesar turns to Tony and grabs his hand pulling him up.
"You ok? " Cesar asked.
Tony looked at Cesar and nodded.
"Yeah…"
"Why were they beating you up?" Cesar asked.
"It' a daily basis…they beat me up if they don't like me doing something they don't like…" Tony replied.
"Tch…don't listen to them…their losers…" Cesar explains; Tony looks to the ground.
"You have me now…Friend" Cesar said.
Tony looks up with his eyes widened.
"Friend?" Tony said.
Cesar nodded.
Tony looks down to the floor and curls his hands to fists.
"I've never had a friend before…" Tony said.
"Then I'll be your first" Cesar said smiling putting his hand towards Tony.
Tony looks at Cesar's hand and Cesar's face then smiled.
"Friend" Tony said shaking Cesar's hand.
Tony wakes from his flash back and looks at Cesar.
"My first friend…" He tells himself.
"If you want Tony then you have to get through me…" Cesar said.
Marcos grins.
Marcos dashes towards Cesar and swings his scythe.
Cesar grins and blocks Marcos's attacks with his gauntlet fists; continuously Cesar blocks Marcos's attack.
Tony is on his knees watching as the two fights.
The two continuously trade attacks to eachother; sparks being created every time they hit each others weapons.
Marcos vanishes and reappears behind Cesar swinging his scythe towards him. Cesar quickly jumps and turns grabbing Marcos's scythe pole stopping the impact.
Cesar grins "Humph…is that all you got?" Cesar pulls Marcos closer and punches Marcos in the face then knees him in the stomach then uppercuts his chin.
Marcos is pushed up in the air; Cesar looks up and jumps up towards Marcos.
Cesar front flips into a curled ball and drop kicks Marcos down towards the ground.
Marcos stops himself from falling with his right hand on the ground; reached out in a hand stand position while his left hand holds his scythe.
Marcos pushes himself up and lands back on his feet spinning his scythe in a clockwise direction trading it to his right hand; then stop his scythe looking humorlessly at Cesar.
"This has gone far enough!" Marcos said.
Cesar lands back on the ground grinning back at Marcos.
"It's time to give up Marcos…your finished" Cesar said.
Marcos disappears and reappears behind Cesar and grabs his right arm.
A black liquid started to expand on his arm. "Stop trying to be cool… your not…you always think your better than everyone…but you're full of shit…" Marcos said.
Cesar's eyes widens in pain.
Cesar couldn't move, the black liquid expands on Cesar's arm and causes pain.
Tony forms his hands into fists and urges to stand up.
"No…Cesar is strong…stronger than you'll think" Tony stands.
"And he's able to beat you any day!" Tony yelled.
Marcos laughs.
Marcos turns his head looking at Tony "same to you too, you are the most pathetic one I've known; the weakest the most pitiful one…"
Tony dashes towards Marcos and swings his blade towards Marcos.
Marcos's eye widens and jumps away; the black liquid vanishes off Cesar's arm.
Tony jumps towards Marcos and swings his blade and Marcos swings his blade at the same time.
Tony slices a part Marcos's left arm and Marcos slices a tiny part of Tony's left cheek; Marcos pushes Tony away.
Marcos slides back and Tony slides back while on the floor.
Cesar stood watching Tony and Marcos.
Marcos stood looking down at Tony.
"You'll never surpass me…and you never will you were always weak…you will always stay weak…your not even worth living" Marcos said.
Tony curls his hands into fist.
"I am not weak…"Tony urged to get up.
"I will surpass you…I will beat you…" Tony slowly gets off his knees.
Cesar's eyes widened.
Tony stood and looks down on the ground.
"Tony…" Cesar said silently.
A chill went down Marcos's spine; the sun started to rise and Ben looked in the sky as the sun rises. Ben turned to Marcos.
"Marcos…" Ben said.
"Over the years you treated me like shit…called me names beat me up everyday…you made me thought I was worthless…but you know what…I do things that you can't even do…" Tony explained.
Marcos stood silent looking at Tony.
Tony looked up staring at Marcos.
"Your just a traitor…you would call yourself the best…no traitor is the best…all they are; is their shadow of their former self…you gave up your life…you betrayed the whole organization…that's why I'll give the organization a favor by killing the both of you… Just like my father…he never gave up…he never gave up on anyone…that's why I swore to myself…that I'll find out what happened to him…I'll avenge him!" Tony yelled.
Cesar grins.
"Tch…we'll just see about that…" Marcos said coldly.
"Marcos the sun…it's rising…" Ben pointed to the sky.
Marcos turned and sees the sun rising; he turns to Tony.
"Well meet again…next time I'll be sure to kill you…"
Marcos and Ben vanished into darkness; the sun shines down on the earth lands. The shadow comes off of Lupita's Mouth and Tony goes to his knees.
Lupita runs down towards Tony right past Cesar.
"Tony!" She yells.
Tony faints and crashes to the floor laid flat. Lupita runs to him and holds him.
Cesar runs towards Tony and Lupita.
"Tony wake up! Please wake up!" She said desperately.
Cesar puts his hand on her shoulder.
Lupita turns and looks at Cesar.
Cesar shakes his head." Its alright…he's been through enough he needs to rest" Cesar said.
Lupita turns and looks back at Tony
"Tony…"She tells herself.
Lupita brushes her hands against Tony's hair.
"We got to take him somewhere safe…" She said.
Cesar nodded. "Alright let's go"
An hour later…
Tony lies resting calmly on the bed. Lupita walks into the room with a bucket of cold water and a swab; she dips the swab into the cold water and squeezes out the water by twisting the swab. Lupita places the cold wet swab on Tony's forehead and grins a half grin.
"I hope he's doing okay… he really did take a beating against those people…" She told herself.
Cesar walks in. "How's he doing?"
"Well he should be doing fine; but I found out something about his body"
Lupita uncovers the blanket over Tony; showing his chest. Scars were on his body treated and covered in bandages by Lupita.
"I never thought I would see his body" Lupita blushes.
"I hope he cheers up if I take care of him" She giggles.
Cesar takes a closer look at Tony's body looking at some scars.
"He must've been through a lot since we seen eachother…it looks like he isn't that little wimp back then" Cesar grinned.
Meanwhile…
Back in the Darkness
Marcos and Ben reappears; the two walks down towards their master and bows.
"Master…we had failed to obtain the Excetran…" Marcos said.
"Fear not…this is only the beginning" He said.
Marcos and Ben looks up in shock.
"The beginning?" Marcos asked.
"Yes I wasn't expecting you to actually obtain the Excetran but to Test it…"
"But why?" Ben asked.
"So we will know how to win against him…" It said.
"How do we do that master?" Marcos asked.
"To awaken…the leaders of destruction…to finally take over back what's ours. The shadow Organization will fall…" It laughed.
Marcos and Ben grinned.
"We will take victory…darkness will fill in their hearts…" Marcos said.
"You will not fail me…Marcos…or Ben; you will strike again!" It said.
Marcos and Ben nodded.
"Yes Master" Marcos said.
Marcos and Ben vanishes.
Meanwhile…Back to Lupita's room.
Lupita and Cesar looks at Tony while he rests.
"I hope he feels better" Lupita said.
Cesar grins while leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"Hell do fine…" he said.
Tony urges to open his eyes.
"C-Cesar?" Tony said.
Cesar and Lupita looks at Tony shocked.
"Tony!" They yelled.
Cesar walked beside the bed.
"Hey how you feeling?" Cesar asked.
"Better…" Tony replied.
"I see that you are" Lupita smiles.
Tony looks at Lupita.
"You!" Tony pointed.
Lupita's eye widens and steps back.
"What were you doing with those shadows!?" Tony yelled.
"They kidnapped me! I couldn't run away!" Lupita yelled back.
"You expect me to believe that!?" Tony yelled back.
"Of course! You should!" Lupita yelled.
Cesar stood in the middle of the two, His eye twitching standing still.
"Shuuuuuuuut uuuuuuuuup!!!" Cesar yelled.
Tony and Lupita stood quiet looking at Cesar.
Cesar points at Tony.
"You should stop yelling at her because she was the one that treated you and the reason that you recovered!" Cesar yelled.
Cesar points at Lupita.
"And you! You should stop yelling because your screaming right into my ear and it hurts!" Cesar yelled.
Lupita opens her mouth.
"But it-
"Shhhh!! I don't want to hear it!" Cesar yelled.
Lupita opened her mouth again.
"Bu-
"Shhhh! Not a word!" Cesar said.
"So she's the reason why I'm feeling better?" Tony asked.
Cesar nods.
"Exactly"
Tony looks at Lupita.
"Sorry…" He said.
Lupita grins.
"It's alright so…are you feeling better?" She said.
"I feel better" Tony replied.
Tony gets up and grabs his clothes.
"C'mon were leaving we got to report back to the organization." Tony said.
Tony walks out of the room.
Cesar and Lupita follows.
"Wait… You can't just leave…" Lupita said.
"Why not?" Tony replied.
"Because you need to eat" Lupita said.
"Not hungry…" Tony said walking away putting his black tanktop on.
"Tony…she's right we can't just leave…" Cesar said.
"Why not?" Tony asked.
"Because…she seen your powers…our powers and we have to deal with the organization…also we need to report to the events on what happened. We got to say it was Ben and Marcos that tried to get you…" Cesar said.
Tony stood and thought.
"Damn…your right we got to deal with them or they'll expel our powers…"
Tony looks at Lupita.
"C'mon your coming with us were going to meet the leaders of the organization." Tony said.
"Who is that? What's going to happen?" Lupita asked.
Cesar creates a portal
"We'll have to find out" Cesar said.
The three enters the portal and appears back at the organization.
"Destiny we have returned…" Tony said.
"Tony Cesar…I haven't seen you two together ever since you graduated into the organization…" Destiny said.
"We have something we must tell you…" Cesar asked.
"What is it? Who is it that is behind you? It Better not be a non member of the organization you know the rules…" Destiny said.
Tony and Cesar looked at eachother.
"That is what we are here for you to talk about" Tony said.
Lupita walks in front of Tony and Cesar.
