On a day like any other, the anti-project faction or the anti-human rebellion or whatever you want to call it is gathered.
—Could someone tell me why those technicians are still alive, what makes them special, can anyone answer that damn question! —Infernus exclaimed in fury like a raging volcano.
—I don't understand what you're complaining about those technicians for, if we are significantly encouraging the progress of the other technicians. I don't understand what you're complaining about. — Kulbain Said.
—Yes, they are not the only technicians at the branch, so they can't install the entire dark dimension by themselves. — Oculan Responded, activating a device that functions as a projector, displaying a chart of the rare branch installations and added. —Our efforts to stop Rare are paying off as we have 85 percent of technicians, both installers and repairers, who have been detained and 15 percent of technicians who have managed to do their job.
— A fifteen percent, it should be a zero percent. — Infernus Answered.
—Don't exaggerate so much, Infernus, the masses will realize how useless Rare is in the dark dimension that no matter how famous Manolo and Isidro are, they won't be able to meet the demand that the networks have imposed on themselves, which will cause their imminent downfall, which is already happening, so it's just a matter of time before they fall into their own self-destruction. —Oculan Responded.
—So, why would they want my runners? —Responded an Egyptian dog with a hairstyle like Calypso from Twisted Metal, wearing a formal suit, stepping out of the shadows behind Aldrich who embraces her.
—You have one second to let me go, you sycophantic dog. —Aldrich Answered.
—That's how you talk to the most famous vehicular combat presenter of all time who has had the dark dimension. —The dog replied.
—But if you are Anubis Calypso, the host of the Rotten Metal show, the number one show in the dark dimension, what the hell are you doing here! — Infernus said.
Next, Anubis explains his reasons for being there:
There are several reasons why I am here:
—First, if things were going so well for them, why did they use my runners to confront some telecommunications technicians? — Anubis asked.
—Those are not just communication technicians. —Responded Blackend.
—I know it's not, the modern inquisitor and a man who sold his soul to a demon. What a mismatched combination. — Anubis Answered.
—Yes, I know, but don't say they are just average technicians. — Blackend Responded, raising his voice slightly.
—I understand, it seems I touched a sensitive nerve, but to me, they are just any technicians, like putting my runners to waste resources and making them appear in Yesterday and Today's Crashes so that the damn Ains takes all the credit, because of him I lost the ranking being number 2 for several weeks, do you know when I lost, damn it, so that I would settle for being number two! — Anubis Exclaimed.
—I know you're angry, Anubis, but I remind you that we sponsor your program and the runners, and if we want, we can take you down from that podium you have, so calm down, Anubis. — Kulbain replied.
—Alright, I don't want to make an enemy of you, but I just want you to know that if you're going to use my runners, let me know. — Anubis Answered.
—Don't worry, with the defeat of some of the runners, they won't mess with them again, especially with the embarrassment of appearing on the show 'Yesterday and Today's Crashes' where their status has plummeted, some have given up and prefer not to confront them. — Oculan Said.
—Moreover, due to the rules of the dark dimension, they have had to limit themselves, so they want to face each other in an environment where they can use all their weaponry. — Sargoth Answered.
»And that's what I come with my second reason:
— I want those two to compete in Rotten Metal. —Replied while some who were drinking something spat it out (Sargoth, Oculan, Infernus, Ulgalion, and Aldrich) and added. —This is a golden opportunity for me, the people of the dark dimension want them on my show and so do I, the ratings will skyrocket and I will crush my enemy...Ains Mongol of yesterday and today's clashes once and for all.
—You must be crazy if you think the Rare branch will let you broadcast on television one of their technicians competing in a vehicular battle like Rotten Metal. — Ulgalion Said.
—Don't worry, I've already done my homework, so the destruction of those technicians who drive you crazy will arrive very soon on Rare TV and Magicflix. So, see you later, Anti-Human Rebellion or anti-project faction, whatever you want to call yourselves. —Anubis replied.
— Let's wait and see how it goes for him. — Aldrich Said.
Manolo and Isidro meet at a soul gas station where Isidro fills the tank while watching one of the episodes of the Rotten Metal show. Manolo is in the store looking at things he can't buy because they're too expensive.
—I feel like a Dominican multimillionaire living in Dubai, being the poor one in a world of the rich because what I earn is worth nothing in this world. — Manolo Said as he browsed the magazine rack.
— Hey, you are Manolo Restituyo! —exclaimed the Lovecraftian creature behind the store counter in astonishment.
—Yes, I am. —Manolo replied.
—If you want to take something from the store, you can, I'm a fan of your vehicular combat in yesterday's and today's crashes. My name is Pietrok Malek. — Pietrok Responded, extending his tentacle.
—The pleasure is mine, Pietrok, let me take some magazines, since I can't find anything edible for human consumption for myself. —Manolo Answered.
—And tell me, have you considered participating in Rotten Metal? —Pietrok replied.
—Me and Isidro. — Manolo Said.
—Yes, you two. You have already participated in the craziness of vehicular combat, like the time you faced the living city and the death train. They have faced several racers who have participated in Rotten Metal, which gave the impression that they could join at any moment. — Pietrok Answered.
— I've watched Rotten Metal during my breaks, and I love their vehicular battles, but I don't see myself being in that competition, I'm a technician, vehicular combat is something that happens out of survival, not because I want to, you understand me, right? — Manolo replied.
—Yes, I understand, but that's what makes them special, something that any human would end up dead in the process, but you have managed to survive those events, just think about it. —Pietrok Answered.
—Well, facing off in a twisted metal-style vehicular combat competition wouldn't be too bad. — Manolo Answered, who thought about it for a moment.
—Look, it wouldn't be bad to participate in rotten metal. — Pietrok Responded.
—Yes, but it wouldn't be with the company vehicle, besides I doubt the company I work for would be involved with that program. Thank you very much for the magazine, Pietrok. —Manolo Answered, taking the magazines.
—At your service, Manolo, but I will pray to the goddess Alheim to enter the competition." —Pietrok replied while Manolo paid for the gas with the stamp he had in his hand, which he passed thru a kind of verifone from that world.
—Alright, as you say. — Manolo answered as he left the gas station store."
—You took a long time, Manolo, what were you doing? —Isidro said as Manolo walked toward him.
—A fan of ours told me I could take these comic strips for free to pass the time. — Manolo Answered.
—A fan who, considering it from his perspective, even though they still sell comic strips, you read them on your phone. —Isidro replied.
—I like the physical format, along with many people or beings in this world who like to have something physical and their own. — Manolo Answered.
—Just leave dust and unnecessary space, but whatever, it's your money, so yeah, what did they talk about. —Isidro replied.
—We talked about Rotten Metal. —Manolo Answered.
—That's one of my favorite shows recently, I've seen several of the bastards we've faced. —Isidro replied.
—Yes, but what he told me, he wanted to see us participate in that automotive mess. — Manolo Answered.
—If only. —Isidro replied, laughing about it, and added. —We already have the henchmen of whatever faction they call themselves not leaving us alone.
—I have such hatred for them. If I could, I would want to destroy them once and for all. — Manolo Answered.
—When they are about to release you from your contract, we'll do it. —Isidro replied, still laughing about it; they got into the vehicle and headed to their next order.
— Let me see, the next order is in MoneyBall City, apparently they are business orders. — Manolo Said.
—It's like five really tall buildings, this is going to be a nightmare to install. —Isidro replied.
—Yes, but that's what we're here for. —Manolo Answered.
They travel down the road until they reach Moneyball City, a city similar to your typical first-world city but surrounded by magic, tentacles functioning as bridges, and structures made of flesh, bone, and viscera.
—This city looks like a nightmare. — Isidro Said.
—It's... beautiful! — Manolo Answered.
An alarm goes off on Isidro's cell phone.
—Oh, Rotten Metal is about to start. — Isidro Said as he took his cell phone and placed it in the cell phone holder attached to the vehicle's window.
—Don't tell me you're going to start watching the show, we need to get to work now. — Manolo Answered.
—It's going to be a special episode, according to the promotional video they released on the Rare TV channel. —Isidro replied.
—And what are you going to see in that special episode? — Manolo Answered.
—Some mysterious pilots, I can't wait to find out who they will be and what kind of vehicle they will bring. —Isidro replied.
—Let's make a deal, you treat me to the most expensive combo at the pizzeria of my choice while I do the work, and you watch the episode of Rotten Metal. — Manolo replied.
—Done! — Isidro exclaimed with a thumbs up.
—Great, keep watching your show while I set up the GPS and start calling the client. — Manolo Answered, who took his device to contact the client.
Isidro puts on the live show of Rotten Metal. Next, the host of Rotten Metal will begin the show:
»I am Anubis Calypso, in each episode of this show, I gather the most ultraviolent racers from the dark dimension to compete in the Rotten Metal competition. In this special episode, we are joined by our eleven racers and a special guest who will bathe in blood, flesh, bones, guts, and metal. The location where today's episode will unfold is MoneyBall City, a perfect place for today's special episode. Our competitors for today are:
Next, Manolo and Isidro comment on this while introducing the runners:
—The Rotten Metal is going to be here! —They exclaimed in unison.
—Oh no! We're going to have to face those bastards. —Isidro Answered.
—This is going to be a problem, we must avoid the runners as much as possible, especially since some of them hate us, so if they confront us, we will confront them. —Manolo replied.
—This will be fun. — Isidro Answered, rubbing his hands together.
—Yes, we're going to kick their butts as God intended. —Manolo replied.
They continue with the program.
The runners are:
The princesses of doom composed of Lumia Voltage, BeatrixChainfield, Cassie Coldown, RileyAntrax mounted in their vehicle called Annihilator.
Taking a break from Anubis's narration. They greet the cameras and strike suggestive poses. Continuing with the narration:
The demolishers formed by
Mike Clank, Duke Spears, Juliet Chainsaw, Terrance Gage, Lance Archer in their vehicle called Devastator.
Pausing Anubis's narration. They wave to the cameras.
—Hopefully, we win this Rotten Metal, to get rid of that bad taste left by the human technicians, especially...—Lance whispered, but Juliet told him to be quiet.
—Don't mention that pest around here, let's enjoy the competition without thinking about those two. — Duke Whispers.
—Keep waving to the cameras, Lord Blackend is watching us. — Mike Whispers.
Continuing with the narration:
Blonde Blaze with her Bloodsport motorcycle.
Pausing Anubis's narration. She greets the cameras.
—Finally, after the defeat of those coaches, after several psychological treatments, I have returned to Rotten Metal and when I win it, I will continue tormenting the Rare coaches and I will face those coaches once and for all. — Blonde Thought.
Continuing with the narration:
The Swat Tigers, Duncan Revenger, Curtis Revenger with their F-Tiger vehicle.
Pausing Anubis's narration. They wave to the cameras.
Mark Speedracer with his vehicle theMadiusV.
Pausing Anubis's narration. He greets the cameras.
Icezcel Frost with his vehicle Ice tooth.
Pausing Anubis's narration. She greets the cameras.
Xtar Xplosion and Sponge Splater with their vehicle Carnage Burger.
Pausing Anubis's narration. They headbang to the sound of extreme metal and make the characteristic gesture with their hands of rock and metal in general, "the horned hand" or "the sign of the horns."
Absorvex Atrocitus with his vehicle Devour.
Pausing Anubis's narration. They look around intimidatingly.
Ruxus Scavenger with his vehicle Blasphemor.
Pausing Anubis's narration. He remains serious and doesn't greet anyone.
Vladius PainMaker and his squadron the warstalkers with their vehicle Warbringer.
Pausing Anubis's narration. Vladius remains serious, while his henchmen give a military salute.
—The reason I came back to this show is because the wagu antralitor will be in the area. My desire to rescue and dominate it is undeniable, I will snatch it from those technicians' hands, even if I have to kill them. — Vladius Thought.
And our special guest is...
Pausing at what Anubis says, pointing to an empty spot that opens a portal.
—And that portal. —Isidro said he missed it while watching the Rotten Metal program.
—Isidro, hold on...! — Manolo exclaimed, who was trying to dodge the portal, but the vehicle ended up being swallowed by it until it reached the program.
»Manolo Restituyo, the modern inquisitor, and his companion Isidro Montero for the first time in Rotten Metal.
They get out of the vehicle while the cameras focus on them; the participants are surprised by their presence.
—Manolo, my love, give me ten children! —Exclaimed Lumia, who was being held back by her companions.
—Those bastards are the special guests... —Blonde replied, recalling her defeat and thought. —They will pay for what they did to me!
—So those bastards are going to participate, now that we have better weaponry, we're going to destroy them once and for all. — Duke Said to his companions.
—After all those criticisms they said on social media and on the street, now is the time to get back at those bastards. — Mark Thought.
—Brother. — Duncan Said.
—It's time to clear our name, like the heroes of the dark dimension. — Curtis Answered.
—Yes, brother, we will show them no mercy. —Duncan replied as they fist-bumped.
At the soul gas station where they were.
—I knew it, I knew they were the special guests. — Pietrok said excitedly about the news.
At the Grindeldolf School of Magic, several students are watching the program and betting on who will be the winner.
—Alright, guys, recess is over, go back to your classrooms... —Medalia Moon said until she noticed they were gambling and added. —Aha, so you're betting, the principal is going to get really angry about this!
She notices Manolo and Isidro on the show.
—But those are the technicians who installed my services. —Medalia said, who smiled devilishly and thought. —I'm going to see the mess those two are going to make, I'll tell my friends to tune in to Rotten Metal.
In a mansion in the dark dimension, Ains Mongol was in his pool enjoying the moonlight, but he was interrupted by the call of his communication device.
—What do you want, can't you see I'm on my day off from the program? — Ains Said.
—Tune into Rotten Metal and see what I'm telling you. —Answered his assistant while invoking a magical projection that tunes into Rare's streaming channel and notices that Manolo and Isidro are on the show.
—Damn bastards betrayed me! But it was only a matter of time, knowing those two; this will be their first and last Rotten Metal. — Ains replied.
—Why do you say that, Lord Ains? —asked his Assistant.
—They are a phenomenon beyond our understanding. — Ains said, laughing devilishly.
At the Rare branch.
Camilion violently opens the door to Malcolm's office.
—What are my technicians doing in Rotten Metal! —Camilion exclaimed.
—First of all, good morning. Secondly, I know you are angry about it, but this was a decision made by the higher-ups to promote the company and encourage the technicians to work more efficiently. — Malcolm Answered.
—But... they have work to do! — Camilion replied.
—Don't worry, they will keep working while they compete so that people can see how we work. —Malcolm Answered.
—Honestly, I don't understand you. Wasn't the work you did at home enough for you? —Camilion replied.
—Well, understand them, I wash my hands of this... but to be honest, I was in disagreement, but as I told you, I can't do anything, my hands are tied. — Malcolm Answered.
—I hope it works, although I wish they put on a show they will never forget. —Camilion replied.
—I hope so. —Malcolm Answered.
—And I apologize for entering like this. —Camilion replied.
—Alright, you're forgiven. —Malcolm Answered.
—Thank you, Malcolm. —Camilion replied, closing the door.
Back to the program. Anubis wants to continue with the program, but Manolo raises his hand.
—Hey, Miss Anubis. —Manolo Said, but she ignores him.
—In today's competition... — Anubis replied.
—Hey, Miss Anubis. — Manolo Answered, interrupting her.
—Let her be, Manolo, let her continue with the program. If we are here, it's because the higher-ups of the company allowed us to participate. —Isidro replied.
—But they should have at least told us. — Manolo Answered.
—We are slaves to this system, so that they can tell us this or that. — Isidro replied.
—Alright, I'll listen to you and continue with this game. — Manolo Answered.
—Wave to the cameras and pretend nothing is happening. —Isidro replied while they wave when they are focused on it.
—They are already aware of their situation; how quick they are. — Anubis Thought.
»In today's competition, we will change the way Rotten Metal operates. Since our guests have clients to attend to, we will let them do so, if the competitors allow them to, but they cannot enter the buildings so they can do their installation peacefully. However, they have a specific time to finish their work since they will not be allowed to. You'll see, you'll like it.
—What do you mean by saying we have a set time? —Manolo asked.
—And that they are going to like? —Isidro replied.
» Now get into your vehicles, motorized warriors!
—I need explanations. — Manolo said as he stepped down from the podium and headed toward Anubis, but the floor came to life and took him inside Shen Ray just like Isidro. and the floor rearranges itself as if it were a Hot Wheels track, each vehicle being deposited into a kind of launcher, one by one.
»Rotten Metal will not start until all the competitors are in the arena and the technicians finish their work. Therefore, let the competition begin.
At that moment, the technician's launcher is activated to be fired by a tentacle track, the same as the doom princesses and Ruxus Scavenger. They are directed through different streets to go around them.
—Which is the closest building? —asked Manolo.
—According to the map, it's Clover S.A. a kilometer and a half away. —Isidro Answered.
—Perfect, let's evade the runners to get to the business quickly. —Manolo replied.
—Yes, it's just that they don't find us first. — Isidro Answered.
Manolo drives quickly thru the streets, but there are pedestrians attacking them with firearms, magic, and lunging at the vehicle.
—What the hell is going on here! —Manolo exclaimed.
—Welcome to Rotten Metal, well it hasn't started yet, but you already have a taste of what it's really like. — Isidro Answered.
—But they could be potential clients... Right? —Manolo replied.
—Yes, but that's what they're paid for, beside they're usually immortal, here death is a joke, you've already killed here, so that shouldn't matter to you. —Isidro Answered.
—Alright, I'm going to enjoy it like never before, since this is Twisted Metal, but in the dark dimension. —Manolo replied.
At that moment, Manolo uses the vehicle's weapons against the armed pedestrians, in addition to crashing into them with the vehicle. He grabs one and rubs him against the walls of a building. The audience is ecstatic about what Manolo is doing.
—Oh, so ultra-violent! I need more and more! — Manolo exclaimed.
—Don't forget, we must go to Clover S.A. to do the installation because we have a deadline. —Isidro replied.
—Oh yes! It's true. — Manolo Answered, coming back to his senses.
Manolo drives following the map toward the building, but the princesses of doom catch up with them in their vehicle, crashing into them from the sides, causing them to lose control.
—Long time no see, Restituyo and Montero. —Beatrix said she would communicate through the intercom.
—You must be Beatrix Chainfield, the princess of the doom of the planet Wartrus. — Isidro Answered.
—Oh, it seems you did your homework. —Beatrix Said.
—In my free time, I usually research some things. —Isidro Answered.
—Then you should know that we are going to take revenge on you and your partner for making mincemeat out of us in our last encounter. —Beatrix replied, but Lumia wants to talk to her, but Riley stops her.
—Manolo, my love, I forgive you, do whatever you want to me. — Lumia Exclaimed.
—I tried to silence her, but it's impossible. — Riley Answered.
—We've lost her, let's finish off these poor souls and head to the mall to go shopping. — Cassie Said .
—We already defeated them, once spoiled girls and we'll defeat them again, so come on, we'll make women out of you with pure ultra violence! —Manolo exclaimed as he stepped on the accelerator and fired the vehicle's machine guns, just like the princesses did.
The confrontation is fierce, sweeping thru the streets, dropping showers of bullet casings and, in the case of the princesses, laser beams, but the vehicles suffered no damage.
—How strange, I don't feel like I'm hurting them. — Manolo Said.
—I think the same, but we have to get rid of them since we have work to do. — Isidro Answered.
—Is it just me, or are you more responsible than usual? — Manolo replied.
—I just want to finish this quickly, even though I like being on my favorite show, but one thing is watching it, and another is living it, so let's finish this to start with the Rotten Metal, win it, and continue with our work. —Isidro Answered.
—Fine but let me enjoy this moment. — Manolo replied.
—But finish quickly because we have several enemies and we don't know who it's going to be. — Isidro Answered.
—Let the bastards come, we'll defeat them again. — Manolo replied.
At that moment, Ruxus Scavenger is released; he heads toward Manolo and the princesses.
—We're already close to the building, try to head toward the parking lot. — Isidro Said.
—I'm trying to do it, but these bitches won't let me, and neither will the passersby. —Manolo replied.
Ruxus appears in their living vehicle made of metal, flesh, ligaments, bone, veins, and viscera, confronts the princesses, and lets them enter the building's parking lot.
—Ruxus! Join us to take down the Rare Technicians. —Beatrix Answered.
—I'm not interested, the reason I didn't confront them before is because I wasn't interested in joining the trend of confronting them, especially since I couldn't use my vehicle to confront them due to transportation laws, but now I'll help them get Rotten Metal started. —Answered Ruxus, confronting them.
Manolo and Isidro get out of the vehicle, grab their materials and tools, but some zombies in program attire approach them.
—Manolo Restituyo and Isidro Montero. —Said the zombie.
—Yes, who are you? —Manolo replied.
—I'm Tyron and this is my partner Mordecai, and we are part of the program staff. —Tyron Answered.
—And what are they going to do, put cameras on us to record us installing the service? —Isidro replied.
—Exactly, they are smarter than I thought, and we are also bringing them some weapons since they will look like monsters that will attack them relentlessly to make their job more entertaining. — Tyron Answered.
—Seriously! —Manolo Exclaimed.
—Oh my God, they're going to make us suffer while we work. —Isidro replied.
—Yes, it's part of the job. — Mordecai Answered.
—But is the company in agreement? —Manolo replied.
—Yes, we already agreed on it with them and the other companies. — Mordecai Answered.
—And as you know, which companies are we going to work with? —Manolo replied.
—That's an industrial secret, but I imagine they should be able to guess it. — Tyron Answered.
—We will use drones with cameras that will record all their movements so the audience can see how they kill the monsters. — Mordecai said as Tyron took out drones from some suitcases.
—Hey, Manolo, bring Pinky out so he can give us a hand with the installation. —Isidro replied.
—Who is Pinky? —Tyron Answered.
—He is our loyal companion when chaos arises. —Manolo replied.
Manolo goes to the vehicle, opens the door, and presses the button that summons Pinky.
—Long time no see, Pinky. —Said Manolo, petting him, but Pinky sees the zombies, growls at them, and added. —Calm down, Pinky, they're good.
Pinky calms down.
—A question, why don't the vehicles take damage? — Manolo Said.
—The vehicles were equipped with a device that makes them invulnerable, but still, out of excitement, the competitors will shoot at them, even though it's useless. — Tyron Answered.
—Oh! — Manolo and Isidro Exclaimed.
—Perfect, you're all set, now, get to work! — Tyron replied as they handed out firearms and added. —Another thing, you can't use the elevators, only the stairs since you'll be fighting the waves there.
—You all need to relax! — Manolo exclaimed.
—I'm not joking, so I'll get to work. — Mordecai Answered.
—You all!... "You're not going to pay them! — Manolo exclaimed, who looked at him with an intimidating gaze.
—Of course, why not? —Mordecai replied haughtily, calm as if Manolo's threat hadn't affected him.
They enter the stairs where portals appear and monsters come out, so they start shooting until they run out of ammunition. Then Manolo attacks them with his bare hands, and Isidro uses his magic wand to defend with offensive magic until they reach the lobby.
—You must be the Rare technicians, you're very dirty. Go to the bathroom to clean yourselves while the manager arrives. —Said the receptionist.
—Thank you very much. —Manolo replied that they are going to the bathroom to remove all the entrails and blood with Isidro's magic. Once clean, they go out to the reception where the administrator greets them.
—Welcome to Clover S.A. I am Artorius Sauces, the company administrator, and I will be your guide for the installation of your services. — Artorius Said, who is a dark elf with silver hair in a suit. At that moment, several portals appear in the lobby from which monsters emerge to attack them. They defend themselves by shooting at them with their weapons until the lobby is filled with monster blood and guts. Some janitors clean the lobby.
—What a great service. — Manolo Answered.
—Mr. Artorius, show us where the terminal is for the installation. —Isidro replied.
—I'll leave you with Bertrán, who is in charge of maintenance. — Artorius Answered, calling Bertrán through his device. A few minutes pass, during which more monsters emerge that they fight until Bertrán arrives, seeing the carnage in the lobby.
—Guessing, they are the monsters of the show. —Bertrán replied, who is a two-meter-tall stone golem wearing the typical attire of someone in his profession (gray shirt, black jeans, cream-colored boots, a dark blue lab coat).
—Yes, Bertrán. —Artorius Answered.
—A pleasure to meet you, I am Bertrán Stone, the building maintenance manager. — Bertrán Said as he greeted and shook hands with the technicians, except for Pinky, whom he growled at.
—The pleasure is ours, if you allow us. —Manolo Answered.
—With pleasure. — Bertrán Responded.
—But because of the program, we must go down the stairs. — Manolo Answered.
—Oh, alright, we'll guide them down the stairs. —Bertrán replied as they descended the stairs where portals appeared, releasing monsters that they fought until they reached the floor with the building's first terminal. They work on the terminal and designate several ports for the services of each corresponding floor. Isidro ties the messenger cable to the RJ45 cable, but some monsters appear behind them. Pinky notices and shoots them with his weapons without mercy.
—Isidro, watch the cable and protect the terminal while Pinky, Bertrán, and I wire the floors. — Manolo Responded.
—Alright, I'll take care of it. —Isidro Answered.
They go to the elevator, but it doesn't work.
—Attention technicians, I remind you that you must use the stairs for the installation as people will get bored watching you take the elevators. — Tyron Said over the elevator intercom.
— But we're working! —Manolo pled with Tyron.
—I'm sorry, Mr. Manolo, but those are the rules. Another thing, I left them firearms so they can defend themselves; they just must pay attention. — Tyron Answered.
—They will pay for it. — Manolo Responded as they exited the elevator. They take the stairs; Manolo notices a vest with ammunition and weapons from that world. At that moment portals appear out of nowhere from which monsters emerge.
—Come on, everyone, damn it! — Manolo exclaimed as he mowed them down, but they ran out of ammunition after taking down a horde of monsters until he faced them with his bare hands, activating the powers of the cross.
—The ratings are going up, Miss Anubis, with the battle between the princesses and Ruxus and the battle between Manolo, Bertrán, and Pinky against the monsters. — Tyron Said, who is contacting Anubis through a telecommunications device.
—Perfect, keep up the show, it's just a matter of time before we become the number one program. —Anubis replied and added. —Make sure to squeeze every last bit of ultra-violence out of those technicians.
—Tyron, out. —Tyron Answered.
Returning to the action, they are going up to the first floor, annihilating monsters, taking breaks to pull the cable to the offices and leave it in switches so that the network department can connect several computers from the dimension. Isidro is connecting several cables to various ports for the next floors since the building is tall. Manolo makes weapons from the corpses of the monsters he uses to fight them, yet Tyron and Mordecai provide them with ammunition so they can keep shooting.
—Isidro, what are you doing that you're not doing anything? — Mordecai Said.
—Manolo told me to stay. — Isidro Answered.
—I'm sorry, but by orders of the program, you can't stay calm. —Mordecai replied that they sent him a horde of monsters that made him leave and reunite with Manolo.
—Isidro, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay at the basement terminal? —Manolo Said.
—Yes, but Mordecai told me I couldn't stay there, so he sent me an endless wave of monsters that got me out of there. So, I'll help you with the building installation. — Isidro Answered.
—I already installed half of the building, so let's finish this. —Manolo replied.
The two of them join forces to set up and kill the waves of monsters that besiege the building. Once they finish the installation, the secretary sends them some snacks, which are cookies and milk, but they refuse them except for Pinky, who eats and drinks them. Manolo and Isidro are tired from the installation and especially from the relentless waves of monsters that were attacking them.
—I don't want to start the vehicle. —Manolo said, breathing heavily.
—Me neither. —Isidro answered, who also breathes the same way as Manolo, but he lights up on his own and moves toward the street." Previously, the wreckers and Blonde Blaze had already left and were heading toward where they are. The technicians try to take refuge in the Clover S.A. parking lot, but a force field surrounds it and prevents them from entering.
—It's like video games, when you finish a mission and you can no longer enter a zone. —Said Manolo.
—Oh, just what we needed, those bastards tampered with the vehicle without us noticing. —Isidro replied.
—Let's go to the next building, to see if we can rest for a moment. — Manolo Answered.
—According to the map, how much further is the next building? —Manolo asked who was driving the vehicle through the streets of the city.
—A kilometer away, Manolo. —Isidro Answered but noticed thru the rearview mirror on my side that saw something climbing up the walls and screaming. —Manolo, watch out!
Blonde Blaze arrives thanks to blood webs that her vehicle shot from a gun under the headlight and another in the taillights. She catches them with a web and finishes trapping them as if she were a spider catching her prey.
—Say your last words, you scoundrels! — Blonde exclaimed, pointing her weapons at them and shooting them down mercilessly.
—Over my dead body! — Manolo exclaimed, activating the vehicle chainsaws, causing it to break free and flee, but she chases them. The wreckers catch up with them and confront them.
—Get out of the way, Blackend's minions, they're mine! — Blonde exclaimed, who was following closely behind.
—We have unfinished business with the technicians, Blonde, if you want to go thru them, you'll have to step over our dead bodies. —Mike replied, provoking Blonde to confront them, but allowing them to reach the next building.
—It's great that the wreckers and Blonde are killing each other. — Isidro Said.
—Yes, but we must work as quickly as possible. — Manolo Answered.
Manolo uses the release button for Pinky, then uses the control panel to open weapon compartments, to take various types of weapons (shotguns, assault rifles, pistols belonging to the dark dimension). They get out of the vehicle, take the weapons, grab the materials to set up the installation, put on waterproof suits to avoid getting stained with blood, but when they go to the stairs, Tyron and Mordecai confront them.
—And now what do they want, let's go to the stairs. — Manolo Said.
—They just can't wear waterproof suits, since the viewers like to see them get covered in blood, but don't worry, we'll have a team of makeup artists and cleaners to make them presentable for the other buildings. — Tyron Answered.
—Why didn't you do it when we were at Clover S.A.? —Isidro asked.
—It was a production slip, but this time we will do it. — Mordecai Answered.
Manolo and Isidro go down the stairs where they face a horde of monsters until they reach the lobby, which is filled with blood and entrails.
— Come on, gentlemen, this is for today! —exclaimed the makeup artist as she took them to the bathroom. They undress them, bathe them, magically wash their clothes, put their clothes back on, and do their makeup at a speed that seems like a Formula One pit stop. They are taken to the lobby where the manager is waiting.
—Welcome to Scum CXA, I am Querubin Chaster, the company administrator, and this is Jante, the company's maintenance manager who will guide you through your installation. — Cherub Said, extending his tentacle to forge a bond. Manolo extends his hand and Isidro does too, but their suckers trap their hands.
—I think we're stuck. —Manolo Said.
—Oh, excuse me, it's just that I'm so excited that you are coming to install me that sometimes this happens to me. — Querubin Answered.
—Don't worry, Mr. Querubin, I'll take care of it. —Said a Lovecraftian woman who takes a spatula to remove the suckers from his forearms.
—Thank you, Karen. — Querubin answered.
—Thank you very much, Karen. —Manolo Said.
—Likewise, Karen. — Isidro Answered.
— At your service, boys. —Responded Karen.
—Now that we've resolved this mishap, let's take them to where the terminal is. —Jante replied.
However, monsters appear in the lobby to attack them, and the technicians defend themselves with their weapons, as well as those in the lobby. When Manolo runs out of ammunition, he uses the power of the cross to kill the monsters in hand-to-hand combat, eventually forming chaos swords from the monsters' entrails and stomachs, which he uses to finish them off.
—Are you all, right? — Manolo asked, who had just finished killing the last monster in the lobby by stepping on its head, scattering its remains across the floor.
—Yes, we are fine. — Querubin Exclaimed, who was hiding with Jante at the receptionist's desk.
—You are incredible! — Karen exclaimed.
—Seeing them live is a completely different experience from watching them on streaming. —Jante replied.
—Thank you for the compliments. Well, what are we waiting for? We have work to do. —Manolo Said.
—Yes, you're right. Jante! Guide them to the terminals. — Querubin Answering.
—Understood! — Jante replied.
Jante and the technicians go to the elevator, but they see that it doesn't work. However, except for Jante, they remember what Mordecai told them about the elevators, so they take the stairs. Nevertheless, monsters appear, and they end up defeating them in a bloody and brutal manner.
—Here is the first terminal. — Jante Said.
The technicians are working at the terminal, connecting the cables to the corresponding ports to go up to the floors and continue with the work.
—Ready, we're done here, let's go up to continue. —Manolo Said.
They climb the stairs where several hordes of monsters attack them, but they run out of ammunition. However, Tyron and Mordecai leave weapons in visible spots for them to use. But there are moments when things get complicated, so Isidro uses his magic, and Manolo uses hand-to-hand combat.
—Sometimes, I wonder why we use weapons, if in my case, magic solves everything." —Isidro Said.
—Well, you're right, but if there's a shotgun in the middle, why not take it? It's like playing Doom in real life, although in this case, they're Monsters and not demons. —Manolo Answered.
The technicians are fighting against the monsters, also installing the services as they go up until they finish installing all the floors, teaching the employes how the services work until they must go down the stairs, facing monsters until they reach the parking lot. The makeup team stops them from making them clean and presentable. They thank them for their service, so they head toward their vehicle.
—Oh my God! I'm tired, thank goodness there are only five, can you imagine if there were ten? — Manolo Exclaimed.
—I love corporate orders because you can take your time, but with this pressure Rotten Metal puts on us, I'm starting to hate it. —Isidro replied.
—Tyron, damn Mordecai! — Manolo exclaimed.
—And why do they refer to us like that? —Tyron replied as they teleported in front of them.
—Let us rest for a few minutes, we know you are tampering with our vehicle. —Manolo Answered.
—No! This is Rotten Metal; the action never stops, especially when this is just the warm-up. — Tyron Answered.
—So, get into the vehicle, work, and entertain until death. —Mordecai replied.
—Damn capitalist monsters, they will pay for this. — Manolo Answered.
—Yes, we'll see. — Tyron Responded, laughing about it, so he summons several monsters that surround them.
The technicians get into their vehicle and leave the parking lot. Tyron returns his monsters to their dimension.
—Isidro, what is the next business and how far is it to get there? — Manolo asked while driving through the city.
—The company we have to go to is Bloody Corps S.R.L. and it's two kilometers away but using Shen-ray gadgets we get there faster. — Isidro Answered, who was looking at the map on the control panel.
Previously, the runners Los Swat Tigers and Absorvex Atrocitus were released, and when they meet, they fight each other. They communicate via the intercom.
—How does it feel that the one who defeated you is in the Rotten Metal? — Absorvex Said.
—Nothing. —Duncan Answered.
—Like it's nothing! — Absorvex Exclaimed.
—It caught us by surprise, but when Rotten Metal begins, he will be our target, and we will destroy them without mercy. — Curtis Answered.
—I'm surprised that you are so calm, especially considering that some mortals defeated you, the heroes of the Dark Dimension. — Absorvex replied.
—Are you not provoking? —Duncan asked.
—What do you think? — Absorvex asked.
—I will destroy you first, and then I'll take care of the others. —Curtis replied.
—Yes, let's silence that disrespectful one once and for all, brother. — Duncan Answered.
While they continue fighting, Manolo and Isidro take some shortcuts thru the subway tracks, but the princesses of perdition fly at a considerable distance, shooting at them from the sides. Then the demolishers shoot at them from behind, and on a tentacle track, Ruxus lands next to them where they shoot at him from the left. Blonde Blaze moving along the walls using her webs to shoot at them with her grenade launchers.
—We're surrounded! — Isidro exclaimed.
—Not by much! —Manolo exclaimed, who uses his divine eyes to detect that there is a train heading toward them with the intention of crashing into them and added that he recognizes the type of train. —It's Mitsuri Sakamoto, the Empress of the Rails.
—No jokes, man. — Isidro Answered.
—I'm not joking. — Manolo replied, but thot for a moment and added. —I have a plan.
Manolo slams the brakes, hitting the wreckers, and then hits Ruxus at a corner to make him spin in the air. He accelerates and dodges the train so that it crashes into the demolishers. The technicians leave the tracks, but Mitsuri derails the train and activates some floating tracks so the train can move in the air. The princesses and Blonde are also chasing him.
—We're almost there, we must hold on. — Isidro Said.
—We won't let them in! —Exclaimed the princesses.
Manolo's vehicle evades the train, then Manolo activates wall-clinging mode to climb up the buildings, then jumps toward the princesses so that Manolo can cling to them for a brief period of time and crash them against a building, detach from them, and activate ropes to move across the buildings in pursuit of Blonde. She shoots them with webs and gunfire. The vehicle evades them, but it fires a guided missile, which she redirects with a kick toward a building until missiles, bullets, and laser beams are fired. One of the shots hits Blonde, knocking her down until Manolo shoots her with a spider trap that temporarily leaves her trapped.
—Manolo Restituyo and Isidro Montero, come here and fight! —Mitsuri exclaimed as she headed to confront them.
They confront them, Manolo drives in reverse while shooting at them with all his artillery.
—Manolo, keep going like that, we're close, I'll guide you while you shoot. —Isidro Said, guiding Manolo thru the map until they reach the parking lot of Bloody Corps S.R.L.
—Nooooo! I'll be waiting for you! —Mitsuri exclaimed, circling the apple several times while waiting for them to finish.
Back with Anubis, she receives a call.
—Hello Aldrich, how are you? — Anubis Asked.
—You really are diabolical; you brought all the runners with what they have faced. —Aldrich replied.
—I brought Mitsuri at the last minute as a Mastodon because I needed to keep the runners entertained since half of them are against the technicians, but it seems I'll have to step in so they don't spend their time doing nothing and wait for the technicians to finish their work. — Anubis Answered.
—I hope you finish them off. —Aldrich replied.
—Don't worry, I'm taking care of it, there's no way they will survive. — Anubis Answered.
—I hope so, I'm leaving because I have work to do. — Aldrich replied.
—Bye, bye, darling. — Anubis Responded, adding with a gesture of disgust. —Ugh, that one seems to doubt me, but she doesn't know that what I do, I do. Even so, let me make sure.
She calls Tyron.
—Tyron! — Anubis exclaimed.
—Yes, Miss Anubis. — Tyron Answered.
—Increase the spawn rate of monsters, I want them to suffer. — Anubis replied.
—Understood, Miss Anubis, and how are the ratings going? — Tyron Answered.
—We are number one, but we have to get more and more, so I am going to contact the runners and Mitsuri so they don't start waiting for the technicians. — Anubis replied.
—How nice, miss. — Tyron Answered.
—Thank you, this is for everyone's effort, now I hope the technicians maintain the program or die trying. — Anubis replied.
—In the time I've been following Manolo and Isidro. They won't die so easily. —Tyron Answered.
—Well, do whatever it takes to make them die. —Anubis replied.
—I will do it, Mrs. Anubis. —Tyron Answered with a firm and determined tone.
—I hope so, Tyron. — Anubis replied, slamming the door shut.
—What did Miss Anubis tell you, Tyron? — Mordecai Answered.
—We need to increase the number of monsters in the waves. —Tyron replied.
—Ah well, let's do it. — Mordecai Answered.
Returning with Anubis.
— Now then, let me see how my runners are doing. — Anubis Said, seeing how his runners were waiting in the building, and he communicated with them telepathically. —Aha, so you're going to stand there like fools waiting for them to finish, this is my show and you must fight each other.
She tortured them telepathically, including Mitsuri, to make them confront each other, but near the building.
—Much better. Now let's continue with the show. — Anubis Said.
Returning to the technicians, they enter the building through the stairs where waves of monsters appear, and they face them until they reach the lobby. Fortunately, it is a small company, so it has a small office, but it is on the top floors of the building.
—Is it just me, or are there more monsters than usual? — Manolo Said, who shoots at everything that moves.
—Those bastards surely want to kill us, but they won't succeed, because we are the best technicians of the dark dimension! —Isidro replied and exclaimed.
—That's the spirit, Isidro! — Manolo exclaimed.
They are going up floor by floor, killing every monster they encounter. They are picking up the weapons that Tyron and Mordecai have left for them on the stairs.
—We're getting stuck on this floor, and the monsters are holding up the magic. —Isidro answered, who sees that the waves of monsters are evolving.
—With me, they don't evolve. Isidro, get on my back so we can try to get to the store. — Manolo replied.
—Okay. —Isidro answered as he climbed onto Manolo's back.
—Let's get the party started! — Manolo replied.
Manolo jumps from railing to railing while facing the monsters until one of them charges at him, causing them to crash into the air until he rips out their guts, using them as a rope to propel himself. Several monsters pounce on him, but he kicks their butts until he reaches the floor where the business is located. They exit the stairs, closing the door, to slide down the side and sit on the floor.
—You are the technicians, what are you doing sitting there, come here, we are waiting for you! —Exclaimed a loli vampire.
—We're coming! — Manolo answered, who stood up, including Isidro. They enter the company.
—They are very hurt and disheveled. This is how you represent your company. —Responded the loli vampire.
—Give us a moment, miss, there's a bathroom. —Manolo Said.
—Yes, I guide them. —Answered the loli vampire.
—Thank you. — Manolo Responded.
She guides them to the men's bathroom, they enter, but the makeup team is waiting for them, so they leave them clean and well-dressed. They leave the bathroom and head to where the loli vampire is.
—Manolo Restituyo. — Manolo Said.
—Isidro Montero. —Isidro Said.
—Ready to work. —They both answered.
—Now you look presentable, sorry for not introducing myself, my name is Astria Spree, company administrator. — Astria replied.
—A pleasure to meet you, Miss Astria, now let's say where the terminal is to do the installation. — Manolo Answered.
—That's the responsibility of the company's maintenance manager... Sandy! —Astria exclaimed.
A shota vampire is heading toward where they are.
—He is Sandy Bellman; he will guide you in anything you need. — Astria Said.
—A pleasure to meet you, but you are the technicians Manolo Restituyo and Isidro Montero, I am your fan, maybe not number 1 but I admire you a lot. —Sandy replied.
—It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Sandy. — Manolo Responded, shaking hands, but he noticed he had wedding rings and added. —A thousand apologies, I meant to say, sir, I didn't offend you, did I?
—It doesn't matter, young man, sir, call me whatever you like. —Sandy replied.
—Well, I'll call you Sandy. — Manolo Answered.
—Me too. —Isidro replied.
—Well, guys, let me guide you to the terminal because you surely have a lot of work to do. —Sandy replied, taking them by the hands and guiding them to the room where the terminal is. Once they arrive, they start working. Isidro takes the materials and tools out of the portal, and during the course of the work, no monsters appear.
—How strange, no monsters have appeared while we are working. — Isidro Said while working, taking his time.
—Shh! (makes a shushing gesture with his hand) Don't say anything, or Tyron and Mordecai will send us a ton of monsters. —Manolo replied, doing nothing while waiting for him to finish.
—Don't worry, the high command of the company did not allow any fights within the company. According to what I heard in a conversation between Astria and one of the higher-ups. —Sandy Answered.
—How nice, a company that doesn't get seduced by violence. —Manolo from Happiness responds.
—At least. —Answered Isidro with tranquility.
—Although we had to fight on the stairs to the lobby. — Manolo replied.
—That was just an exception. —Sandy Answered.
—Oh well, that's fine. —Manolo replied.
They work slowly to regain their energy. Once they finish, they are taught how to use the services until they gather their materials and tools.
—Thank you for your service, I am grateful for the very friendly attention on your part. —Astria Responded.
—We are at your service. —Manolo Answered.
—I didn't ask for them because I didn't want to be intrusive, but they give me an autograph. —Sandy replied, pulling out a planner with a pen next to it.
—With pleasure, Sandy! No problem. — Manolo Said.
They sign the agenda right on today's page.
—How strange that you use a planner with a pen in these times of technology. —Manolo replied.
—I like to keep my idols' autographs in a conventional way. —Sandy Answered.
—That's great, I love that there are people like that, well, see you later. —Manolo replied.
—Still, I hope they win the Rotten Metal! —Sandy exclaimed.
Manolo and Isidro stood in front of the stairway door, but before opening the doors, someone called them on their cell phone.
—Hello. —Manolo said to answer the call.
—So you think you can get away with it. —Tyron Answered.
—We need to rest once in a while. —Manolo replied.
—You, have no voice here, if it weren't for the runners killing each other like dogs in front of the tower... —Tyron Answered.
—Listen to me carefully, Tyron, I know I work for Rare, but I am a human being, I do not accept being treated like crap, so you speak to me properly. If you want entertainment, I will give it to you but leave me alone. —Manolo Responded.
—We won't leave you alone, Manolo Restituyo. We'll extract every last gram of ultra-violence you have, is that clear? — Tyron Asked.
—Someday, you will pay me back, do you understand? —Manolo Asked.
—Yeah, right, you're just a man, Manolo, we are an empire, so do your job. —Tyron Answered, who hung up the call.
—What's up, Manolo? Who was it? —Isidro asked.
—It was Tyron, talking shit. —Manolo replied.
—I'm sure he didn't like that we took our time, but whatever, let's get to it! —Isidro replied and exclaimed.
—Yes, let's get to action! — Manolo exclaimed as he opened the door, activated the power of the cross, and started hitting every monster in front of him. Isidro finished them off with magic. They descend with fury, venting their rage on the monsters. After a while, having made a massacre on the stairs, they arrive at the parking lot covered in blood and guts.
—That's what I like, pure and hard ultraviolence. — Tyron Said.
—Move aside, Tyron, we have work to do. — Manolo Answered.
—Alright, but don't disappoint the audience. —Tyron Responded as they exchanged intimidating glances.
The makeup team catches up with them to clean them up and make them presentable. They get into the vehicle; Manolo starts it and puts it in motion to take off running, evading the competitors, but they notice their presence and follow them.
Previously, Mark Speedracer and Icezcel Frost were released, but they did not face each other as they are very far apart; however, they are joining the war for the technicians.
The technicians are at the front of the chase, but the runners behind them are killing themselves for them, combined with the attacks that armed pedestrians were making with vehicles. Mitsuri, who was traversing the skies on rails, lands in front of them.
—They are dead men! —Mitsuri exclaimed.
The technicians evaded the shots from the rear turret as much as they could until they entered the left side where several turrets emerged, continuing to fire at them until the technicians' vehicle accelerated, but it led them toward the buildings where it crashed thru several buildings until the vehicle rammed the train, derailing it, but the train generated new tracks to stay upright.
The SWAT tigers approach and hit them from behind, taking them out of circulation and making them spin several times.
—Damn it! —Manolo exclaimed.
—Don't lose your temper, Manolo, this hasn't even started yet, now is when the real fun begins. — Isidro answered, but the Swat Tigers contacted them through the intercom."
—What's wrong with you, technicians, the cat got your tongue? —Duncan replied.
—Now you are not in your element, but in ours, so get ready to suffer. —Manolo Answered.
The SWAT Tigers and the technicians fight a bit, but the runners arrive and start a brawl over the technicians.
—We must get out of here to keep working until the competition really starts. —Manolo Said.
—Yes, but we need to get out of here fast, those bastards will follow us anywhere. —Isidro Answered.
In the fight, the technicians focus on a target, but several come to shoot them with missiles and bullets, only to later turn against each other to see who gets to keep them. Mitsuri regains her composure and heads toward the brawl, so the technicians take advantage of this and escape with difficulty as several opponents block their way. The chase begins anew, the technicians take an elevator, but the others do too until one throws a hook toward a statue with tentacles to go thru them, but Blonde uses her web to follow them, as others employ planning, among other technologies.
The technicians navigate the tentacles until they reach the street, where they continue their journey, facing pedestrians armed to the teeth and the runners chasing them, until they finally reach the parking lot.
—Tell me, Isidro, if this order is going to be a hell of an installation or a walk in the park. — Manolo Said.
—It's a medium-sized company called Guts and Bullets Ltd. located on the first floor after the lobby; it only spans five floors, so it won't be a nightmare to install...I think. —Isidro Answered.
—Alright, let's get to the point. —Manolo replied.
—Yeah, let's get to it. — Isidro Answered.
—We are not going to carry firearms, as that would be wasting ammunition unnecessarily. Besides, they leave us weapons, but just in case, bring your wand and I will face them with the powers of the cross. — Manolo replied.
—Even so, I will carry weapons just in case, since there are monsters that might be immune to magic. Moreover, those bastards will probably not let us keep the weapons for all the time we've lost. —Isidro Answered.
—It's fine, although I don't really care if they leave weapons or not, since I have my power. — Manolo replied.
They get out of the vehicle; Isidro uses a spell to connect the vehicle's dimension so they can get the materials and tools. They go to the stairs where they face several monsters until they manage to reach the door that leads to the lobby. Upon entering the lobby, they are all covered in blood, full of entrails, to introduce themselves to the receptionist.
—A pleasure to meet you, I am Manolo Restituyo and this is my colleague Isidro Montero... — Manolo Said.
—You are the famous Rare technicians! My name is Petunia Ribons. — Petunia Exclaimed as they greeted each other with a handshake and added. "Let me call the manager." If you want, you can go to the bathroom to clean off the blood and guts while the manager goes to get you.
They go to the bathroom and meet the makeup team who clean them up and make them look good.
—It's time to work. — Manolo Said as they both looked at themselves in the mirror.
The technicians come out of the bathroom, go to where the receptionist is, but someone accompanies them.
—You must be the technicians who are going to install the service we requested. —Said the manager, who is a zombie in formal attire but armed to the teeth.
—The pleasure is mine, we are...— Manolo answered.
—Manolo Restituyo and Isidro Montero, I already know who you are, it's a pleasure to have you here, the employes here are fans of your acts. My name is Zabel Babylion.—Zabel replied.
—Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zabel. — Manolo Responded.
—Call me Zabel, so as not to be so formal. — Zabel Answered.
While they were talking, some monsters came out of portals, but Zabel took care of them with her laser weapons. After finishing off the monsters, he blows on the gun barrels and spins them with his fingers to put them back in their holsters.
—Ohh! —Everyone exclaimed and applauded for it.
—Thank you, thank you, now let's get to work. —Zabel Answered.
—Yes, let's go. —Manolo replied.
—But before... — Zabel Answered, snapping his fingers, causing androids to appear from their bodies, compartments full of weapons emerging. Manolo grabs some weapons.
—Even tho they are going to provide us with weapons by going up the stairs, well, something is better than nothing. — Manolo Thought.
—Mr. Isidro, take our weapons so you don't waste yours. — Zabel Answered.
—Alright, here you go. —Isidro replied, who handed over their weapons and took the androids.
—Ready, now let's go because there's work to do. — Zabel Answered.
They go to the stairs, but upon entering, they step into another dimension. A desert canyon where there are hordes of monsters.
—What the hell is this place! — Manolo exclaimed, puzzled and angry.
—Don't worry, gentlemen, it's part of a deal we had with Rare and Rotten Metal," Zabel replied. —Zabel replied.
—What kind of treatment? —Manolo asked, puzzled and angry.
—You are going to make an announcement about our company while doing what you know how to do... kill monsters. — Zabel Answered.
—But at least they're going to pay us. —Isidro replied.
—No, we already paid Rotten Metal and Rare to let us use them in the ad. — Zabel Answered.
—How unfair, we must get our hands dirty for the company, and they don't give us anything extra for the things we do beyond! —Isidro exclaimed.
—Don't worry, we'll give him something but be patient. —Zabel Answered.
—Seriously. —Isidro replied.
—Isidro, remember that we can't take anything from the clients as that goes against company policy. —Manolo Answered.
—Yes, yes, yes, you're right. —Isidro replied, accepting it but reluctantly.
—Well, what are we waiting for? I'll give you the instructions on how to proceed with the announcement. —Zabel Answered.
The Zabel employes approach with advanced recording equipment; some makeup artists sit the technicians in actor chairs to do their makeup and get them ready. Some employes brought a red muscle car armed to the teeth since it was part of the ad. One of the employes hands the keys of the vehicle to Manolo.
Next, the employe explained to him what they need to do:
First, they will drive thru the canyon demonstrating their driving skills while annihilating every monster in their path until they reach a designated point where they will drift like Speed Racer and then shoot into the air while we do a 360-degree shot, and that's it, they don't have a script, everything will be done by a narrator. Any questions?
—How will we know if we're doing it right? —asked Manolo.
—You will see a holographic map that will guide you along the canyon route so you can get familiar with it. —The employe replied.
