"OK, looks like we are going somewhere, but the dust we have is nowhere near close to
what we need," Roman said while looking at the few crates of dust he already had.
Neo uses her weapon to point to the logo, which features a bold, radiant sun at its
center. Beneath the sun, a macuahuitl and a hook sword are crossed in an X shape. The
macuahuitl has a wooden body with sharp obsidian blades embedded along its edges. A
circular border of jagged obsidian shards encircles the central sun and weapons. These shards
are dark and glossy, contrasting with the golden sun, while the primary colors are gold and
black.
"As much as I love to use Sol's resources, they aren't exactly the most charitable of the
group."
Cinder texts someone in the background text someone and looks toward the two," And
what if you do have that power? Because you already have the territory, all you are missing is
the power and influence." Cinder said to them.
"Simple, try to make this kingdom into another Sol's clan, the underground king of vacuo,
that kind of title I want."
As Roman said this, they heard someone laughing at the entrance and saw Emerald and
Mercury, but one more in the front, tall and lean with sharp, angular features, piercing blue eyes,
and pale skin. He has a neatly kept, short haircut and a series of tattoos that run down his left
arm, depicting ancient symbols of power and control. He also wears polished, sleek silver armor
that provides maximum protection while allowing for ease of movement in combat. Intricate
engravings of ancient symbols adorn the armor, and a cloak over his shoulders is a long, flowing
cloak made from the finest white silk. He has sturdy silver boots with reinforced soles and a
two-handed obsidian sword, sleek and elegant in design, on his holster." I'm sorry I wasn't
supposed to laugh, but you still want to be the next Midas. Either you are crazy or suicidal… but
to be honest, you need both of them if you want that kind of power."
"Oh, I never thought I would see the son of Midas here?" Roman said with a surprised
tone, while Neo gave a surprised expression.
"Hey, Xiuhtecuhtli, I thought Midas was going to send one of his commanders, not you?"
cinder said to Xiuhtecuhtli. At the same time, Neo tried to use her semblance to mimic
Xiuhtecuhtli's physical body.
"Well, he filled me in on your plan and told me you need a fourth member for Beacon, so
I am here to fill that role." Xiuhtecuhtli told Cinder that he had seen several crates," Also, who is
the new kingpin?"
"You can't tell, or being a nepo baby filled your head." mercury said to Xiuhtecuhtli.
"Oi, don't forget who gave you your legs." Xiuhtecuhtli said back to Mercury before
turning to Cinder." but seriously, who plans all this… is it the strawberry hair woman or–"
"It's me!" Roman said to Xiuhtecuhtli while narrowing his eyes and pointing his weapon
toward Xiuhtecuhtli.
Xiuhtecuhtli chuckles as if the darkness has taken over the room. In the blink of an eye,
Xiuhtecuhtli quickly appears behind the Roman weapon close to his throat, but before he can do
or say anything.
Neo kicks him away, and Xiuhtecuhtli quickly returns to his feet." I almost forgot who she
was, but it didn't matter who she was. I just need to find a mistake and rip it open."
Xiuhtecuhtli gets into his fighting stance, and Neo rushes towards him and quickly wraps
her legs around Him. Suddenly, Xiuhtecuhtli soon starts to fade into darkness and reveals it was
a pillar. Just as quickly, she sees Xiuhtecuhtli dash beside her and land a blow, sending her
flying until she rolls back on her feet and doesn't see Xiuhtecuhtli but still hears his footsteps
until one of the many light lands just right, showing Xiuhtecuhtli in a transparent coding.
Neo quickly rushes towards Xiuhtecuhtli and swings his sword, but she jumps over it and
follows it up with a kick that pushes him towards the rows of lights. Just as quickly, Xiuhtecuhtli
tries to use his semblance, but only his own shadow is affected.
Xiuhtecuhtli attempts to rush back into the darkness, but Neo cuts him off, wraps her
legs around his neck, and throws him back in the light." shit! Come on, Xiuhtecuhtli, figure out
how to outsmart this ice cream hair!"
Xiuhtecuhtli and Neo return to their respective fighting styles, but before either of them
can do anything, the sound of a screaming missile comes through, releasing a gust of wind and
glass shrapnel.
"Ok, Xiuhtecuhtli! Is there a reason why you are here, or is it just because you are filling
in for Midas!" Cinder yelled towards Xiuhtecuhtli.
"Yeah, I was about to get that. Roman Torchwick , right? My father has noticed his original foot
in the door has been arrested, so Midas wants to supply you with the dust and weapons you
need." Xiuhtecuhtli said to Roman.
"Why should I believe you? You almost cut my head off and got into a fight against my
partner." Roman said to Xiuhtecuhtli, who sighed and put his weapon back.
"Yeah, I got nothing about it, but look at it like this: I am the youngest commander of his
clan, and trust me when I say things if you think I am dangerous. I am nothing compared to
people like Hunter and, of course, Midas." Xiuhtecuhtli said back to Roman while he was
whipping away his blood.
"And what if I say no?"
"Then we go somewhere until they say yes. But if your partner is anything like you, I
think it would be best to have the sol naciente backing you up because if you want to be the
next Midas, then it would be in your best interest to say yes."
"Fine, call your daddy and get out of my warehouse."
But Xiuhtecuhtli walked past him, and Roman was about to say something:" I heard you.
I am leaving. I just need to check something out, and I will leave." Xiuhtecuhtli said to Roman
while making his way to the computer. He went back a few weeks and watched Cualli and Aja
raid:" Huh, so you are here, Cualli; I wonder what you would say when you see me again."
before leaning back in his chair and laughing.
