Chapter 15 - The Final Inquisition

After the events of Rotten Metal, the anti-project faction or the anti-human rebellion or whatever you want to call it is gathered.

—Comrades, we have a big problem. —Aldrich Said in a very serious tone.

—Yes, ever since the technicians won the Rotten Metal, now everyone wants to have Rare's services. —Oculan Answered.

—And now what are we going to do to stop this? Is there any plan in mind? —Infernus asked.

—There's one, it's from our infiltrator at the Rare branch. —Oculan replied.

—Is the plan reliable? —Ulgalion Answered.

Oculan sends the plan to everyone present digitally, so they read and review it.

—Why don't we all attack together? —Sargoth asked.

—Yes, we will, look at this page. — Oculan Answered.

—How good, if we take down Manolo and Isidro, the others will fall by extension. —Kulbain replied.

— Perfect, let's put the plan into action and prevent this plague from spreading. —Aldrich Answered.

After working like dogs, they leave the vehicle at the branch to drop off all the company belongings before heading home.

—Yuleika! Manuelito! Jeison! I got back from work. —Manolo Exclaimed, who is searching for them all over the house, he whispered. —It seems they went out or something like that. Well, I'm going to sleep, I'm tired of taking too many orders (yawns). Those bastards are going to drive me crazy (takes off the uniform). Those damn lousy customers are going to drive me crazy, no matter how much they flatter or pretend to like me, in quotes. They make my life hell just to place a damn order; I'm fed up with them. (He puts on more comfortable clothes). Someday I will make them pay for every humiliation, every mistreatment with all my anger and boundless rage. (He lies down on the bed). That day will be when my contract comes to an end.

Manolo sleeps like a log, but when his wife arrives home and finds Manolo sleeping in bed, she leaves him alone. After a few hours of sleeping, he finally gets up and goes to the living room where his children are watching an anime on the Smart TV.

—You got up already, daddy. —Manuelito Said.

—You slept like a log; it's already eight in the evening; they made you dinner. —Said Jeison. — Jeison Said.

—Ah, how nice. —Manolo answered, who is heading to the dining room to eat his dinner.

—Another thing, daddy, you're tough, you won the Rotten Metal. When are you going to teach me to drive like that? — Jeison Responded.

—Thanks, when hell freezes over. —Manolo answered, removing the plate that covers his dinner.

—So that's your job! Driving like a demon-crazed lunatic, facing off against other demon-crazed lunatics! — Yuleika exclaimed.

—Darling... —Manolo answered.

—No affection! How can you be so calm while putting your life at risk like this! — Yuleika exclaimed.

—It's just that the dark dimension is like that; if you saw yesterday's and today's crash programs, you would understand... —Manolo Answered.

—So there's more! —Yuleika exclaimed.

—Yes, but don't worry, I have God on my side, nothing is going to happen to me. — Manolo replied, while he was eating his dinner, which is a mangú of green plantains (mashed green plantains) with mozzarella cheese and onion."

—Yes, mom, don't worry... — Manuelito Answered.

—The adults are talking, Manuelito! — Yuleika exclaimed.

—Well, alright. —Manuelito Answered.

—You can't quit that job. —Yuleika replied.

—Not for now. — Manolo answered.

—Why? — Yuleika asked.

—It's complicated. — Manolo answered.

—Well, simplify it. —Yuleika Responded.

—I can't tell you, it's an industrial secret. —Manolo Answered.

—But I imagine you're working to get out of that job. —Yuleika replied.

—Of course, my love. —Manolo Answered, continuing to eat.

—I hope so. Now then, what are we going to do this month that you're free? —Yuleika asked.

—He's thinking that we can go to Guayacanes on Sunday after mass, since tomorrow I'm going to take out some money from the salary I earned this month and I'll rest a bit, as I'm still worn out because of work. —Manolo Answered.

—Sounds good to me, it's been a while since we went to the beach. —Yuleika replied.

—Yes, to the beach! — Manuelito exclaimed.

—Well then, let me have my dinner in peace. —Manolo Answered, who starts to finish his dinner.

After dinner, he watches family-friendly programs and movies on the Smart TV until it's time to sleep. The next day, Manolo wakes up early, takes a shower, puts on clothes to go out, and heads to the bank in his SUV to withdraw the money he earned from his job. He spends a few hours waiting for the bank to open, as long lines form, so he starts playing on his phone and listening to music. Once the bank opens, the guard lets in ten people at a time; when it's his turn, he stops playing, pauses the music, enters the bank, takes several turns to complete various tasks, and sits on a sofa while waiting for his name to be called on the screen. After some time has passed, it is Manolo's turn, so he stops playing and listening to music to head to the ATM indicated by the screen. When he reaches the ATM, he withdraws enough money to pay off the credit cards, among other errands, and money for the family. After finishing with the cashier, he continues waiting to proceed with his errands. After a long while, he manages to complete all his errands at the bank.

Manolo, while rubbing his hands, thought: «I'm going to treat myself after a midday at the bank.»

At that moment, he calls his wife on her cell phone. She answers the call.

—Darling, how are you? —Manolo asked.

—Good, just doing the household chores. —Yuleika Answered.

—Don't make me food, I'm running errands. —Manolo replied.

—Alright, but don't gorge, because that's a sin, and remember that you have to go to the nutritionist very soon, because you're very overweight. —Yuleika Answered.

—Yes, I know, don't worry, I won't snitch. And what are the kids doing? — Manolo asked.

—Jeison hasn't come back from work and Manuelito is playing video games. —Yuleika Answered.

—That's great, I'll play ball with them after I rest for a while. —Manolo replied.

—Yes, spend quality time with your children. —Yuleika Answered.

—Well then, I'll leave you to it, carry on with the chores. —Manolo replied.

—Bye, I love you so much, darling. —Yuleika Answered.

—Me too. —Manolo replied, who hangs up the call.

Manolo, while rubbing his hands, thought: «Well, it's time to gulear.»

He goes to Pizza Heat, which is across the street, and enters the place. Once inside, there weren't many people, so it was his turn. He orders the seasonal pizza, the Choppy Bites (a pizza similar to Pizza Hut's Cheesy Bites), with the Mozzticks combo with marinara sauce (mozzarella cheese-stuffed breadsticks) and a 1.25-liter cola. The cashier told him to wait for 15 minutes, but Manolo orders the mozticks and soda first while he waits for the pizza, so he pays with his credit card and waits at a table. After a few minutes, the mozticks are ready, so Manolo goes to pick them up with his soda and eats them, savoring and enjoying them. A few minutes later, the pizza is ready, so they call him; he goes to get it, and they also give him a marinara sauce for the bites. Manolo takes the pizza to his table to eat it all, leaving nothing behind, including the sauce.

Manolo rests for a few minutes until he crosses the street to get into his SUV and head home.

—I'm here. —Manolo Said as he opened the door with his keys.

—How did it go at the bank, Dad? —Manuelito asked, who is going to hug him.

—It went well, boring as always; if I hadn't had my phone and headphones, it would have been eternal. — Manolo said, adding as he crouched down to be at his son's level. —We're going to play ball with your brother after he takes a little nap. Here, buy yourself something with this. Manage yourself well.

—Thank you, Daddy, I really appreciate it! —Manuelito exclaimed in surprise as Manolo handed him a bundle of bills that he was going to show to his mother.

—Oh, Daddy, you arrived, and what was that thing you gave to Manuelito? —Jeison asked.

—Just a little gift, nothing more. —Manolo Answered.

—Can you give me one? —Jeison replied.

—Yeah, here. — Manolo Answered, handing him a bundle of bills.

—Thank you, daddy. —Jeison replied.

—Oh, darling, and that bundle of bills you give to Manuelito, isn't he too small to have so much money? —Yuleika Answered.

—That's what you're here for. — Manolo replied and added. —Take the money for the house, for yourself, and for other things you can think of.

—Oh, thank you, and how charitable of you. —Yuleika Said.

—I only share what I earned with you. —Manolo replied, although he thought: «Even though that's not one percent of what I earned, I still have some left from my past salary, not to mention I spent almost nothing; it's like a bottomless pit of money I have; I could pay off the external debt with that money, but I won't because it's mine.»

—Even though I don't like where that money comes from, what can you do? —Yuleika asked.

—Don't worry, this money isn't cursed; Yuleika, don't become paranoid. —Manolo Answered.

—How do you know? — Yuleika replied.

—Because God is with me, and when we went to the dark dimension, we came out without a scratch. —Manolo Answered.

—Amen, don't remind me, I behaved with courage like the cowardly dog of all the terrifying things that were there, we almost died several times. —Yuleika replied.

—They were some lousy memories, but what can you do? Well, nothing, let me sleep a bit; Jeison and Manuelito will play baseball when I wake up. — Manolo Answered, who goes to his room to take off his clothes and put on comfortable sleepwear, so he falls asleep for about two hours, which he sets on a timer on his phone.

After two hours have passed, he gets up, looks for the gloves and balls to play; upon finding them, he goes to the living room where his children are playing video games on the television.

—The game is over, let's play ball! —Manolo exclaimed.

—Wait up, dude, it's an online game and we're winning. —Jeison replied.

—Well, I'll sit down then; don't you dare start another game while I wait, because I know you. —Responded Manolo, who sits on the couch while he starts playing on his phone.

After about fifteen minutes, they win the game and take off their virtual reality headsets.

—We won! Good game, Manuelito. — Jeison Exclaimed.

—Daddy, Daddy, we're done. —Manuelito Said, waving his hands to get his attention.

—Perfect, let's go outside. —Manolo Said.

They go out to the yard and start playing catch with the ball, taking turns to catch it among the three of them for half an hour, until they start playing tag, rotating so everyone gets a turn, until after an hour they get tired and go take a shower, then change into comfortable clothes to play an online racing video game like Mario Kart combined with Twisted Metal, while Yuleika listens to a church program on the radio in her room while she sews on her sewing machine.

After the program ends, Yuleika goes to the kitchen to make dinner. She takes her time to prepare it; her children smell the food.

—It seems that mom is making dinner. —Manuelito Said.

—I'm hungry. —Jeison replied.

—Don't lose focus, this game is intense. —Manolo Responded.

—Yes, daddy. —They both answered.

—And you spent all this time playing! —Yuleika exclaimed, who came to see them for a moment.

—No, mommy, we played ball with dad a while ago and now we're just playing! — Jeison shouted.

—Ah, ok. Finish that game so we can go to dinner! —Yuleika shouted.

After about fifteen minutes, they finish the game, so they go out to dinner.

—They lasted too long; I understand they can't pause an online game, but they should have limits. —Yuleika Said.

—Don't worry, I'm supervising them, everything is under control. —Manolo Answered.

They eat their dinner before watching a movie together, specifically a three-hour superhero movie. Before starting the movie, Yuleika prepares popcorn and serves natural orange juice with ice in plastic cups. After watching the movie, Manuelito falls asleep.

—It seems he fell asleep; I'll take him to his room. Let's go to sleep, because tomorrow we're going to an early mass to go to the beach. —Manolo Said.

They nodded and went to their room.

The next morning, the family got ready to go to the beach in the SUV toward the earliest mass nearby. Once the mass was over, they went to Guayacanes beach. Upon arrival, they settled in a place where no one would bother them until they ran into someone they knew.

—Oh, but look who we have here. —Said a man who approached Manolo until his wife approached him.

—But Mrs. Moon, what are you doing here? Wait, if you are here, that means you are... Malcolm Moon, I didn't recognize you. —Manolo replied, who shakes his hand and does the same with Medalia.

—Oh, Manolo, who are they? —Yuleika asked, as she approached them.

—He is the manager of my department, Malcolm Moon. Mr. Moon, my wife Yuleika. —Manolo introduced his wife, Malcolm, and Medalia.

—A pleasure, Mrs. Restituyo. —Malcolm Answered, who kisses her hand.

—How polite, wait, you come from the dark dimension, right? Sorry for the question, what monster are you? —Yuleika replied.

—Yes, I am a werewolf, but since it's sunny, I'm in my human form. My wife is a succubus, my children are adopted: my daughter is a jellyfish, and my son is a Lovecraftian entity. — Malcolm Answered.

—Wow, what a diverse family, welcome to the Dominican Republic. By the way, where are your children? I want to meet them. —Yuleika Asked.

—Thank you very much, Mrs. Restituyo. My daughter is sunbathing and my son is building a sandcastle. —Malcolm Answered.

At that moment, Serina is sunbathing on a large, smooth rock.

—What is a beauty like you doing in a place like this? —Jeison asked.

—Step aside, mortal, for the reason I am here is so that beings like you do not bother me. —Serina replied.

—Mortal, where did you hear that slang? Do you come from the dark dimension or are you just a poser trying to be like them? —Jeison replied.

—I am from the dark dimension... What is your name, mortal? Well, it doesn't matter, so get lost. — Serina Asked.

—My name is Jeison Restituyo, darling. — Jeison answered.

—Sorry, you remind me of a technician who works with my father at Rare Communications; he, along with the love of my life, installed some services in my house. —Serina replied.

—Does the name Manolo Restituyo ring a bell? —Jeison answered.

—Yes, that one. He, along with the love of my life, Isidro Matos, installed the services in my house. So, if you think I'm going to fall for your smooth talk, you're completely mistaken. I already belong to Isidro. —Serina explained.

—So, you like older people. Well, I admit I lost the battle, but not the war. So, you want me to treat you to something. —Answered Jeison.

—Fine, but don't think you're going to have a chance with me. —Serina replied.

—It doesn't matter, it's an act of goodwill, this way we get to know each other better. — Jeison Answered.

She gets off the rock to go to a coconut vendor to buy a coconut water. At that moment, Manuelito is building a sandcastle, but he notices that a boy is building a sand palace. He approaches him.

—Hey. —Manuelito Said shyly.

—You are brave to approach me; I had scared away all those mortals who wouldn't leave me alone with my construction. What do you want? —Senith asked.

—I just want you to teach me how to build a sandcastle, like you do. —Manuelito said.

—Alright, let me grab my tools and I'll show you my way of building a sandcastle. —Senith Answered.

Senith expertly and patiently teaches Manuelito how to build a sandcastle. Everyone is enjoying the beach; Manolo and Yuleika are spending quality time in the water, just like Medalia and Malcolm. Then they gather to rent a volleyball to play among themselves. Jeison and Serina rent a jet ski to have fun. Time passes, so the families gather to say goodbye.

—Well, we had a good time. — Malcolm Said.

—Yes, it was fun, especially because our children got to know each other and entertained themselves. — Manolo Answered.

—Yes, and even more than that sandcastle Manuelito made; it turned out amazing. —Serina replied.

—Yes, Senith, you taught Manuelito very well. —Medalia Answered.

—It cost a lot, but it was worth it. —Senith replied.

—Too bad I can't take the castle home. — Manuelito Answered.

—It doesn't matter, we'll take a picture; beside, we already have the Moon family's contact information, so you'll stay in touch with Senith. —Manolo replied.

—Well, it was a pleasure meeting you; I hope to share more with you in the future. —Yuleika Answered.

—Likewise, Mrs. Restituyo. —Malcolm replied.

—You can call me Yuleika, if you wish. —Yuleika speaking.

—Alright, Yuleika. —Malcolm replied.

—Well then, goodbye. — Medalia Answered.

—Goodbye! —the families exclaimed.

Each one gets into their respective vehicles.

On the way back, the Restituyo family talks:

—It was very entertaining today, wasn't it, Yuleika? —Manolo asked.

—If it was, I must admit, my perception of the inhabitants of the dark dimension changed upon meeting them. I think they're not so bad after all. —Yuleika Answered.

—Well, they are the exception, but the inhabitants of the dark dimension are a bunch of bastards; let this stay between us, but the time we installed the telecommunications services, Medalia mostly left us alone when it came to facing the threats in her house. —Manolo Commented.

—There, yes. I remember the video. —Jeison Responded.

—I knew it was too good to be true. —Yuleika Answered.

—And Serina, she mentioned that it belonged to Isidro, who is that, Isidro? —Jeison asked.

—He's a coworker. Why do you ask? Did you fall in love with her? —Manolo asked.

—Well... it's complicated... —Jeison replied with an embarrassing tone.

—I recommend you don't get involved with her, I don't know if she told you, but she is a gorgon or a medusa, so you understand; if you're not careful, you could turn to stone. —Manolo Warned to Jeison.

—Yes, son, remember what I told you about unequal yokes, so don't get involved with that girl. —Yuleika Answered.

—Fine, as you wish! —Jeison exclaimed harshly, but without disrespecting them.

At that very moment, the Moon family is on their journey back to their house in the countryside, so they are talking:

—And how did it go with Manolo's children, my dears? —Malcolm asked.

—I had fun with Manuelito building his castle. —Senith replied.

—In my case, I also had fun with Jeison, but I let him know that my heart belongs to Isidro. —Serina Answered.

—How many times do I have to tell you that Isidro is an employe of Rare, and that you are older than him? —Malcolm replied.

—But... —Serina Answered.

—But nothing, get yourself a suitor in the dark dimension, but with my employe. —Malcolm replied.

Serina curses him reluctantly.

Returning to the Restituyo family, they arrive home, take a bath, and rest for the day. The days went by; Manolo spent quality time with his family until the day came to return to work.

—Well, let's get to work, it's time to start our task. — Manolo Said, who is standing in front of the portal that leads to the dark dimension.

—I will pray for you, darling. — Yuleika replied, stealing a kiss.

—Come on, Daddy, finish them off because you are the best! — Manuelito exclaimed.

—Thank you, Manuelito. —Manolo responded.

—Don't forget, Dad, I'm proud of you, find a way to get rid of that hellish job so we can start our business. —Jeison replied.

—Thank you, son, I appreciate it very much. —Manolo Answered and added. —Well then, see you.

And her family says goodbye with their hands; Yuleika's tears fall, but her children's do not. Manolo looks at them with a smile before entering the portal, which then closes.

The portal takes him to the branch door; he enters to head to his corresponding department. At the department's water cooler, there is Camilion.

—Welcome, Manolo, come, help yourself to some water. —Camilion Said.

—Alright, and Ludovico, I want to ask you something. — Manolo Answered.

—He must be in his office with Hope, why do you ask? Do you need something from him? —Camilion asked.

—It's just to talk to him about something, nothing more. —Manolo Answered.

—I understand, Isidro won't be long. Get ready when he arrives so you can go to work together. —Camilion responded.

Manolo heads to Hope and Ludovico's office.

—Ludovico! —Manolo exclaimed while Ludovico was focused with headphones on, blasting music.

Hope writes to him in the company chat so he realizes that Manolo is there.

—Oh, Manolo! —Ludovico said, who sees him and takes off his headphones.

—How are you, best friend? —Manolo asked, who rushed to hug him.

—All good, and you, best friend? —Ludovico replied as he finished hugging him.

—Hey, can we talk about the matter? —Manolo Answered.

—Sure. Hey, Hope, could you give us a little space? —Ludovico replied.

—Alright, this way I can take a little break from work; you have five minutes, I'll go to the water cooler to drink some water. —Hope Answered as she left the office.

—Well, I have bad news for you. —Ludovico replied.

—Oh, no, what are the bad news? —Manolo asked.

Next, Ludovico is going to explain the bad news:

»This explanation is going to be somewhat complex, so I will try to explain it to you.

In the technicians' system, there are two types of technicians: the predetermined ones, who are the technicians that joined when the project started, and the temporary technicians like you, who have a contract for a certain number of orders. They are called predetermined because they are the technicians to whom the system always sends orders, but to you, Manolo, orders that belong to Isidro are assigned. That's because default orders are assigned to him, as he is a default technician, but to you, since they have seen your potential, they haven't placed you in the default queue, so you will take orders from Isidro and other default technicians until the queue runs out.

—Damn it, they're holding me against my will; no wonder I work and work and never finish. I already surpassed a hundred orders a long time ago. I've already surpassed a hundred orders a long time ago. —Manolo replied, who is angry about what Ludovico said.

—Calm down, Manolo, I don't want you to spill the beans on what I just told you. —Ludovico Answered.

—Alright, I won't lose my temper, but who is behind all this, at least you know. —Manolo replied.

—Well... I... —Ludovico Answered with doubt.

—You know it, right? —Manolo asked.

—Meredith, she's the one behind all this. —Ludovico Answered.

—I knew it, that damn bitch, I'm going to get back at her. —Manolo Responded as he left the office.

—Wait, Manolo, don't do something you might regret; remember that you are an employe and she is a manager. —Ludovico replied, but Manolo ignored his words.

Manolo arrives at the human resources department, at the payroll area where Meredith is, who is on a call. He waits for her to finish her call until, after about five minutes, she does.

—What do you want, Manolo, darling? —Meredith asked.

—How much longer are you going to keep me working here? I have counted all my orders and I have already surpassed a hundred; I should be free by now. —Manolo Answered angrily.

—It's just that until you finish with Isidro's orders, the system won't assign orders to you, Manolo. —Meredith replied.

—Oh, please, your system is rigged to keep one until the project is finalized. I'm going to report you for labor exploitation. I'm tired of fighting with the anti-project faction, the clients, and the threats from the dark dimension. —Manolo let off steam.

—Are you done, Manolo? — Meredith Said.

—Yes, I did. —Manolo Answered.

—And who are you going to report us to, modern inquisitor? Or is it that I don't know you're a Christian? You have no voice here in this branch; go ahead, file your complaint if you want, but you'll regret it. —Meredith replied.

—What's going on here? —Isidro asked.

—We just have a heated argument. —Meredith replied, so Isidro steps aside for a moment."

—What the hell are you doing? You can't argue with Meredith like that; she's the rock and you're the egg. You are not the first or the last to have complained to her and ended up regretting it. Apologize to her and leave it at that. —Whisper in Isidro's ear.

—Manolo, what's going on here, what's all this commotion about? —Camilion asked.

—I'm just exposing the injustice that's happening here. —Manolo responded.

—Come on, Manolo, behave yourself, you've done enough already. —Ludovico replied.

They are leaving from there.

—Manolo, I will not tolerate you disrespecting Miss Meredith. —Camilion Answered.

—It's just that when I've already completed a hundred orders and I'm not free, when will I be? —Manolo replied.

—When the orders assigned to Isidro and other technicians are finished. —Camilion Answered.

—Wait, but that's what she told me. Don't tell me you're with her. I must tell Malcolm. —Manolo replied. He started to bring him down.

—Manolo, he will tell you the same thing. —Camilion replied.

—So there's no hope, I'm doomed from the start, I shouldn't have taken this job. You have condemned me! I won't forgive you. —Manolo broke down, running out of the courtyard, where he sat on a bench, depressed.

—I'll take care of it, Ludovico, I'll see if I can get him to come to his senses. —Isidro Said as he goes and follows him.

—Okay, I will return to my position. I'll take care of it. — Ludovico replied and returned to his position.

Isidro arrives where Manolo is.

—Manolo! —Isidro shouted, who sits next to him.

—What do you want, Isidro? Are you going to tell me I must work or something? —Manolo replied.

—Well, yes. —Isidro Answered.

—I don't want your motivational words, just let me suffer in peace. —Manolo replied.

—Alright, let's get to work, but first apologize to Meredith. —Isidro Answered.

—Ahhh, alright, I'll apologize to that girl. —Manolo replied.

They go back to the branch, to the human resources department, to the payroll area, where Meredith prepares to wait for Manolo's apologies.

—Sorry, Meredith, for raising my voice and disrespecting you. —Manolo apologized.

—Alright, but to complete that apology, give me a kiss. —Meredith Answered.

—You know I'm married. —Manolo replied.

—Yes, I know, but it's just on the cheek. —Meredith Answered.

—Alright. —Manolo replied.

Manolo, when he brings his mouth close to her cheek, she turns her face so that he receives the kiss on his mouth, turning it into a mouth kiss, but she grabs him by the head to give him a brutal tongue kiss that lasts about thirty seconds, before letting him go.

—That wasn't a cheek kiss. —Manolo Said.

—You are already forgiven. —Meredith Answered, savoring her lips, and added. —Now go to work because time is pressing.

They leave while Manolo wipes his mouth.

—I don't understand, because the cross didn't protect me from that, but whatever. To work it is then. —Manolo Said.

—Maybe, it's not a big deal, like the time he protected you from eating human flesh. —Isidro replied.

They go to the workshop where Darius is giving maintenance to Shen Ray.

—Oh, how good that you are arriving, I already have your vehicle ready. —Darius Said.

—Perfect. —Isidro Answered.

Manolo hid his depression for a moment so that Darius wouldn't notice. Darius gives them the keys so they can take the vehicle out of the workshop. They go to the warehouse to stock up on materials for their installations. While they fill the vehicle with materials, they chat:

—Oh, Manolo, weren't you unfaithful to your wife? What are you doing kissing Meredith on the mouth? —Sonya Said, who received a photo of the incident thru the work group.

—I don't want to talk about it. — Manolo Answered, depressed.

—Honey, it's better not to talk about that because today has been difficult for Manolo. —Isidro replied.

—Alright then, get well soon, Manolo. —Sonya Answered.

—Thank you, Sonya." I will need it. —Manolo Responded.

They just finished stocking up on materials.

—Drive, I don't feel like driving. —Manolo Said.

—Alright, as you wish. —Isidro Answered.

Isidro takes the driver's seat and Manolo the passenger seat, so he starts the vehicle and they leave the branch. They encounter several vehicles from the anti-project faction; fortunately, Isidro can handle them and Manolo assists him with Pinky. After that setback, they go to install several orders, where Isidro does all the work, as Manolo helps him as an assistant, since he doesn't have the motivation to work. Isidro doesn't complain, since Manolo used to do all the work, so now that he has to do it, it didn't bother him at all, but he had to find a way to return things to normal. After a long day of work installing orders like crazy, they return to the branch, park the vehicle in its designated spot, get out of the vehicle, and go to report to Camilion. After the meeting, Isidro and Manolo go to Sonya's house to eat the famous Dominican flag (rice, beans, and meat) before heading back to work.

—Ready, it's time to start with my plan. —Ludovico Said, rubbing his hands maliciously.

After a while, they return to the branch, and the atmosphere is very lively.

—What's going on, why is there so much murmuring? —Manolo said.

—Someone leaked the technicians' system, showing the retention of several temporary technicians, as well as the abuse from the department, and they are arresting Meredith, Malcolm, and Camilion, along with those who created the system. Besides Darius, who was with the anti-project faction that leaked the location of several technicians to attack them. — Hope Explained.

—Manolo, can you come to my office, please? — Ludovico said.

—Yes, why not? — Manolo Answered.

Ludovico accompanies Manolo to his office, and they both sit in their respective seats.

—You had something to do with this. — Manolo Said.

—Hope helped me, as he has been following the case previously. —Ludovico replied.

—And now, who is going to take care of the payroll area and our department? —Manolo asked.

—In the case of human resources, they'll sort that out among themselves; in our case, for now, Hope and I will take care of the department until they appoint the new manager and supervisor, but until that happens, check your order device. — Ludovico Answered.

Manolo looks at his device and realizes that the orders belong to him; this surprises him.

—The orders... are mine... — Manolo Said with tears in his eyes and added. —Finally, I can be free!

—With the power I acquired, I took the opportunity to tell the system managers who weren't arrested to fix the system and assign you orders so you could be freed from this oppressive job. —Ludovico replied.

Manolo rushes to hug him.

—I should never have doubted you. Thank you, Ludo, thank you, thank you, thank you. —Responded Manolo as he lets go of it.

—That's what friends are for, best friend. —Ludovico replied and added. —Now, when you go to make these installations, let all that shit you've been holding back for so long out; it's time for the world to know your anger, all the frustration and humiliation you've been going thru.

—Of course, I'm going to give this lousy dimension an overdose of ultraviolence it will never forget. —Manolo Answered.

—Another thing, I'm going to resign; when you're done, we'll meet on the ground. —Ludovico replied.

—Oh, and why? —Manolo asked.

—I have already achieved my goal. —Ludovico replied.

—Well then, see you. —Manolo said goodbye.

—Yes, see you later. —Ludovico said goodbye.

Manolo leaves the office to meet Isidro.

—Isidro, let's stock up on materials, we have a long day of work ahead of us. — Manolo Said excitedly.

—Oh, now you feel better, that's good. Could you tell me why? —Isidro asked.

—I'll tell you on the way, now, let's go! — Manolo exclaimed.

—Understood, my captain. —Isidro replied.

They take the vehicle out to take it to the warehouse, meet Sonya, and chat with her while they load the vehicle with materials.

—They found out, they took Meredith, Malcolm, Camilion, and part of the department that handles the technicians' system because someone reported to Pro Human Defense the injustices that were happening here with the human technicians. — Sonya Said.

—Yes, Hope, she told us. —Manolo Answered.

—Oh, I hope they are well. —Sonya replied and added. —According to what I was told, Meredith fought with her captors, but it didn't escalate.

—Well, I hope they don't use it against you. —Manolo Answered.

—She is the princess of the dark dimension; she will surely be given preference and will get out of there in no time. Even if Malcolm, Camilion, and the others don't realize it. —Isidro replied.

Sofía realizes that they are adding extra materials.

—And all those materials, do they want to finish all their orders or something? —Sonya said.

—I'm doing what Manolo tells me. —Isidro Answered.

—Yes, a little, don't worry. —Manolo replied.

After a few minutes, they fill Shen Ray with materials, say goodbye to Sonya, and then get into the vehicle, with Manolo as the driver and Isidro as the co-driver; he starts it up, and they leave the branch.

In Ludovico and Hope's office, they find themselves working until Ludovico stands up.

—Well, Hope, my plan is going full sail. —Ludovico Said.

—I've already informed the anti-project faction, as if you were them, to get into position. —Hope responded.

— Perfect, humanity will be able to take revenge on the dark dimension, and with this, I hereby begin the meeting of my warriors to reclaim the prodigal multiverse that is in the hands of Adam Bloodhead. —Ludovico replied as he took a folder out of his backpack and added. —Here, this is my resignation. You stay until the staff that was arrested is reinstated.

—Understood, your divinity. — Hope Answered.

—Well then, I'm off, I don't want to miss this show. —Ludovico replied.

—But you see everything, why don't you stay here to avoid exposing yourself to that danger? —Hope Answered.

—Thank you for your concern, but nothing is going to happen to me. I'm just going to be where the Magnus opus of my work will take place; everything else I will see with my omnivision, since this body is too limited to avoid attracting Adam's attention. —Ludovico replied.

—Well, good luck to you, your divinity. — Hope Answered.

—Likewise, Hope. —Ludovico replied as he left the branch, got into his vehicle, and headed toward where the final battle would take place.

Returning to our protagonists, they converse:

—What did you and Ludovico talk about? —Isidro said.

—Look at my order device. —Manolo replied that he is passing him his order device.

—Impossible, they gave you orders. That bastard did it. —Isidro Responded, who looks surprised.

—Now, you will take care of the orders while I handle the threats on the road, from the client; I will plot the route for the installations on the GPS. —Manolo Answered.

—Alright, if you say so. —Isidro replied, but he noticed they had enemies in the rearview mirror and added. —We have company.

Around them, enchanted armors on motorcycles appear, heading toward them.

—Pinky, take care of them! —Manolo exclaimed, who summoned Pinky, who came out thru the roof, and added. —Take some weapons, so you can have fun.

From the ceiling, fiery claws emerge that Pinky puts on, then he lunges at one of the knights to pierce thru with the claws as if it were butter, ripping out the core and crushing them with his hands. Pinky lunges from motorcycle to motorcycle violently, killing several enchanted armors using the technique she employed with the first one. Then several vehicles armed to the teeth with enchanted armor arrive, driven by them.

—We have company! —Isidro exclaimed, who looked through the rearview mirrors and the window.

—They want lead, lead they'll get. — Manolo Answered.

Pinky, after finishing off the motorcyclists, leaves one to take him to where they are so he can assist them while stabbing the armor several times. Manolo uses his driving skills to shake them off, deploying various weapons to annihilate several vehicles. Leaving a path of destruction in his wake, he manages to shake off some vehicles with various maneuvers. Pinky returns to the battlefield after killing the enchanted armor, jumping into a vehicle, breaking the driver's window, violently turning the pilot's steering wheel to make it flip and create a domino effect that causes a vehicular mess to reach them. After several minutes of car battles, they arrive at the GPS location where the orders are to be installed, which is in a suburb.

—We arrived, but what the hell! — Manolo said, who sees an army of enchanted armors in the suburbs.

—I'll take care of the installation while Pinky and you handle the army. "I'll handle the installation while Pinky and you take care of the army. —Isidro replied.

—That was what I was going to say, so I'll open a gap for you to enter the houses. —Manolo Responded as he activated a disintegrating ray on the control panel that came down from the ceiling, splitting the army in half.

Manolo invokes the Musashi sword thru the control panel, performs a maneuver to exit as Meteoro Racer, and Pinky plays along to face the army. Isidro invokes from the control panel a magical anti-armor weapon that is similar to an M16 SOPMOD to take care of the armors that can withstand his magic. Isidro goes to the back of the vehicle to take out a cart that he fills with the materials he needs. He, with his magic and the anti-armor weapon, takes care of the enchanted armors that are in his way.

Isidro heads to the first house, takes the necessary materials, and protects the cart with a force field while leaving it in the yard. He goes to the house while shooting several armors with magic. He knocks on the door and the customers greet him.

Manolo with the Musashi sword imbued with the divine energy of the cross cuts thru all armor in its path, and Pinky with her fiery claws does the same.

—Come on! That's all you've got! —Manolo shouted.

Pinky roars; they are decimating the army while Isidro is working. Manolo's power increases to such an extent that he unleashes bursts of energy that annihilate several suits of armor, without reaching the houses.

—Manolo, that energy hurts me, I can't take it anymore. —Musashi said that the energy hurts him.

—Alright, I'll take out the most powerful sword that humanity has. I'll get the most powerful sword that humanity has. —Manolo replied, putting the sword back in its sheath and pulling out a Bible from his vest, which turned into a long sword imbued with divine energy, to which he added. —The Bible!

Now, without Musashi's limitations, he continues killing enchanted armors until an enchanted armor different from the others lunges at Manolo for them to clash swords.

—So you are the modern inquisitor, I am Armodeus, the general of this army, and you have earned my respect; now prepare yourself, for this will be your grave. —Armodeus Said as they moved aside.

—You are from the anti-project faction, or whatever they call themselves. —Manolo answered, as swords clashed violently, but the armors were going to attack him, yet he defended himself and kept killing them while facing Armodeus.

—Yes, we belong to the Violentors, led by Blackend Titanium. —Armodeus Responded as they continued fighting.

—Tell me, how is the anti-project faction composed? —Manolo replied.

Next, Armodeus tells him about the organization of the anti-project faction while they fight:

»As I was telling you, our leader is Blackend Titanium, who is in charge of eliminating the plague called humanity from our world. There are the Technohaters, led by Oculan Darius, responsible for manipulating the networks against the modernization project of the dark dimension. There are the Defenders of Darkness, a political party that opposes the project; it is one of the most popular in the dark dimension, led by Kulbain Skeleton. There is Magical Communication Inc. Its CEO, Infernus Blackspawn, is in charge of the entire magical telecommunications network of the dark dimension. There is the Church of Revelation, which is led by Pope Ulgalion Lagoon. There are the Mankind Crushers, who are the same as the violentors but from outer space, led by Sargoth Atrocitus, and finally the head of the faction Aldrich Albain, one of the most powerful and influential beings in the dark dimension.

—Thank you for the information, I suppose today they took it upon themselves to try to destroy me and my partner today. —Manolo Said.

—Yes, the entire faction has gathered to stop them and finish you off once and for all. —Armodeus Answered.

—Well, but I must tell you that the one who is going to destroy them is me. Now die! — Manolo replied.

—No, the one who's going to die is you! Cut of the deadly pentagram! —Armodeus shouted, using his most powerful technique.

—Over my dead body! Let the seas part! Red Sea Slash! —Manolo shouted as their swords clashed violently, but the Red Sea Slash was more powerful and ended up disintegrating Armodeus.

—Our general has fallen! —shouted one of the enchanted armor.

—And who said we were done! —Manolo replied, who is finishing them off until not a single one is left.

Manolo takes out a handkerchief and wipes the sweat from his face.

—I've finished all five installations, it was difficult with those enchanted armors, but I managed. —Isidro Said as he arrives with the empty cart.

Pinky arrives with the head of an armor in her mouth.

—Well, we have a long nite ahead, so let's keep going. —Manolo Said.

—It's fine. —Isidro Answered.

They get into the vehicle to continue their odyssey.

—We have to fly, the route we need to take is very far away. —Isidro Said.

—Alright, activate the weapons, we're at war. — Manolo Answered.

—How so? —Isidro replied.

—The general of the enchanted armors, Armodeus, told me that the entire anti-project faction decided today to end us. —Manolo Answered.

—What? This can't go from Guatemala to Guatepeor, but if they want lead, we'll give them lead. —Isidro replied as he activated air mode on the control panel.

They take off; while flying, they see on the GPS that something is approaching behind them.

—We have company. —Isidro Said.

—What are they? —Manolo asked.

—It's an army of combat aircraft, androids, among other flying machines. —Isidro Answered.

—Those bastards think they're going to take us down, but they're mistaken. —Manolo replied.

Manolo accelerates and the army fires all its artillery, but Isidro activates an energy field for the laser beams and flares for the missiles. An ultra-violent chase ensues; Isidro summons Pinky to use the side turrets and take out several enemies.

—They're too many! —Isidro shouted until several androids boarded Shen Ray.

Pinky leaves the turret and starts fighting with them. The aircraft shoot at him with everything they've got. Manolo descends to low altitude and sets Pinky's turret to automatic mode. He performs several aerial maneuvers to shake them off until they launch guided missiles at him. Pinky tears the androids to shreds and returns to his turret. Manolo gets them back into the vehicle, then switches to beast mode and then to mecha mode to give them wings. Manolo sprouts angel wings and draws the Bible, Isidro uses his flying broom, and Pinky clings to Shen Ray's back. They swoop down on the army and, with incredible coordination, wipe out the entire army. Afterward, Shen Ray doesn't want to return to his vehicle form, so Manolo gives him the beating of his life and, with his divine power, forces him to transform into vehicle mode.

They go to the facility's location, which is an apartment complex. However, two androids are following him.

—Apparently, two androids were left. —Isidro Said.

—I'll take care of the installation; you and Pinky take care of stopping them. I'll handle the installation; you and Pinky handle stopping them. —Manolo replied as he went to the back of the vehicle to take out the cart and fill it with materials.

—Well, Pinky, get out of there, I need your help. — Isidro Said as he pulled him out thru the control panel.

The androids shoot at them; Isidro shields himself with magic, but the shots are antimagic, so Pinky rushes to cover him.

—Pinky! —Isidro shouted and added. —I will keep you in the vehicle again so you can heal.

Isidro thot while putting Pinky in the vehicle: «I think it's time to use the heavy artillery.»

He summons armor similar to War Machine's, but without the arc reactor in his chest, armed to the teeth.

—They will pay for what they did to Pinky! —Isidro exclaimed.

—Prepare to be destroyed, false inhabitant of the dark dimension. —the female android Said who is gothic, voluptuous, and athletic, similar to Uzi from Murder Drones.

—Yes, get ready to die, at my hands! Z and my girlfriend M6 —Z replied, who is similar to N from Murder Drones, but more muscular.

—Yeah, sure, first I'll take you out of the fight and defile your girlfriend so you learn that with Isidro Ricardo Matos Montero, you don't mess around. —Isidro replied.

Isidro deploys swords from his forearms; they shoot at him, but he deflects the bullets with his swords. He fights both of them at the same time; they shoot at him just like Isidro. The confrontation goes airborne, where they shoot at each other with all their artillery, lighting up the sky with their shots until they run out of ammunition, at which point they switch to fighting with melee weapons, moving at the speed of light, until they give Isidro a beating that leaves his suit almost destroyed, only to be violently thrown to the ground, but he gets back up.

—Surrender, false entity, and accept your death. —M6 Said.

—Never! Metal bitch. —Isidro Answered.

—Well, die then! —Z replied.

They beat him up, but they realize he is withstanding the blows, so he counterattacks and redirects their attacks at them to make them hurt each other. This allows him to severely injure Z and M6.

—Look, this is cursed! —Isidro exclaimed, who has M6 in his arms.

—Damn you, don't you dare! —Z exclaimed, who helplessly sees his girlfriend in another's arms.

Isidro steals a kiss that electrocutes him, but he enjoys it while Z screams in pain and curses him.

—And that netorare. —Manolo said he finished with the installations.

—What? —Isidro asked.

—So you stole a kiss from his girlfriend or they're not dating. —Manolo Answered.

—Yes, they are. —Isidro replied.

—You will pay for this, Isidro, I swear, I will make your life a living hell. —Z Answered.

—Go to hell. Manolo, finish him off. —Isidro replied.

—With pleasure. —Manolo responded, who takes out the Bible, turns it into a sword, and finishes them off with a burst of energy that disintegrates them.

—Did you finish the work? —Isidro asked.

—Yes, let's go now, we have a long nite ahead of us to set up. —Manolo Answered and added as he got into the vehicle. —I see you're in a lot of pain, are you okay?

—Yes, I will regenerate; thanks to this monster body I have, it can withstand anything. — Isidro replied.

—That's great, now let's go; this isn't over yet. —Manolo Answered, who starts the vehicle to continue on his way.

On the way, a volcano emerges that activates and erupts, from which a horde of demons comes out.

—Ah, but they are serious about wanting to finish us off! —Isidro exclaimed.

—Let them come, I'll be waiting for them. —Manolo Answered.

Several armed motorized vehicles are chasing them, but from the ground, structures in the shape of Hot Wheels tracks emerge, made of burning rock, leaving them no choice but to enter the tracks. They face the onslaught as they go down the track. They are also attacked from the sky, but Isidro activates the antiaircraft weapons to confront them. Several vehicles, both aerial and ground, fall until the volcano becomes a motorized vehicle.

—This mess has started, drop a nuclear bomb to finish them off. —Isidro Said.

—Let me finish off those around us to have more space. —Manolo Answered.

He employs driving maneuvers; in addition to the weapons he has deployed, he takes care of the enemies around him, giving him space to launch the nuclear bomb.

—Target secured! Say hello to my little friend, you bastards! —Manolo shouted, who activated the nuclear bomb from the control panel. It is fired toward the volcano; upon impact, it obliterates all enemies around it. Manolo activates the turbo to escape the shockwave.

—Damn, that was brutal! —Isidro exclaimed.

—Yes... but wait, this isn't over. —Manolo answered, who sees in the rearview mirror that the volcano is still alive.

They turn around making a 180-degree turn.

—Ready, Isidro. — Manolo Said with a determined look.

—I was born ready, Manolo. Now step on the gas. —Isidro Answered.

Manolo floors the accelerator; he goes all out. From the volcano emerges a horde of demons with vehicles, both aerial and terrestrial, armed to the teeth. They face the horde with the roar of their weapons, making their way with extreme violence. Pinky is summoned to help them; he climbs onto several vehicles, causing them to lose control and crash into each other, creating a vehicular mess. They take advantage of this to gain more ground and get closer to the volcano. In the chaos that Pinky caused, he takes the opportunity to jump onto one of the overturned vehicles and board an aerial vehicle to create havoc in the sky. He guides an aerial vehicle toward Shen Ray so that it can be destroyed by them and then jumps to where they are.

—We've arrived; I'm going to activate airplane mode. —Manolo Said as he goes to the control panel and activates it.

However, weapons of all kinds emerge from the volcano, shooting at them. Shen Ray dodges them until he reaches the crater where they drop a nuclear bomb, then flees from there at the speed of light from the explosion. The bomb explodes and destroys the volcano. However, this is not over.

—But I shit on his damn mother! — Isidro exclaimed, as a giant fire demon emerged from the rubble and lava.

—This... got interesting. —Manolo Answered.

—Put your psychopathy aside for a moment, you filthy lunatic. —Isidro replied.

— Don't get like that, Isidro, chill out.—Manolo Answered.

—How am I going to freak out if that thing isn't destroyed, but, Tato, let's get to work. —Isidro replied.

—That's the attitude, mode mecha! —Manolo exclaimed, who activates beast mode and then mecha mode.

Shen Ray spreads his wings to soar thru the air and head toward the giant demon, but it unleashes bolts of fire that they dodge, in addition to sending hordes of demons to slow down their advance. However, Shen Ray deploys his weapons to obliterate the enemies; some remain standing, so he uses his spear to blow them to pieces in a brutal and ultra-violent manner. Upon reaching the demon, they attack its legs, but several demons get in their way; however, they dispatch them mercilessly. Shen Ray decimates the giant demon with his spear until Manolo transfers his divine energy to him, so he can summon a lance of light that he throws at the demon's head, finally finishing it off.

—Finally! That shit is dead! —Isidro exclaimed.

—Happy, now let's go, we must continue with the installation. —Manolo Answered.

They continue their journey to a small town, where they take out their materials and start setting up, but they are interrupted by a horde of demons armed to the teeth.

—Isidro, take care of the installation of the services, and I'll take care of them. —Manolo said.

Isidro is going to set up the services; Manolo takes out his Bible to turn it into a sword and then splits it in two. The townspeople record the epic battle that is about to unfold. Manolo lunges at them; one of them shoots at him, but he deflects it back at them to disarm them and fight with melee weapons. He employs rays of divine light, cuts, mutilates, and decapitates every demon that stands in his way, until his general appears.

—Manolo Restituyo. My name is Flagor and we will finish you once and for all —Flagor said.

—Come here and die in my hands! —Manolo replied.

Flagor lunges at him, their swords clash, but his minions attack; he defends himself and kills them all, even using parts he tears from their bodies to stick onto Flagor. The battle shakes the village until he finishes him off by taking away his weapons, cutting off his hands, and then turning him into mush without mercy. Once Flagor finished, he took care of the remaining demons.

—Manolo, I'm done. —Isidro Said.

—This day is going to be long. —Manolo replied.

—Yes, but whatever, let's get out of here. —Isidro Answered.

—Yes, let's go, I want to finish, although something tells me this is just the beginning. —Manolo replied.

—Well, let them all come, damn it! —Isidro exclaimed.

—That's the attitude. —Manolo answered, while they got into the vehicle to continue on their way.

In the distance, a group of monsters watches him.

—Those technicians are going to make me rich, we are now number one in streaming, thanks to today's episode. —Ains Said.

—Is it true, boss, that today will be the downfall of the anti-project faction? —the cameraman Asked.

—Of course, Joseph, everyone is waiting outside the evil empire. As if it were some evil plan by some entity. —Ains Answered.

—And what do you think about that, Lord Ains? —Joseph asked.

—I don't care what happens to those poor souls, I just want fame and power, those technicians gave me a reason to continue with the program. Now come on, our golden goose is slipping away. — Ains Answered.

On the outskirts of the capital of the empire. The anti-project faction is waiting on the outskirts of the empire.

—Those technicians, they don't fall for anything. —Blackend Said.

—They will eventually fall, they are not invincible, they will arrive tired when they get here, that's the plan. —Aldrich Answered.

—But Manolo's power level is different this time. —Sargoth replied.

—No matter what power they have, they will fall along with Rare Communications. —Aldrich Answered.

—May it be so, my lady. —Kulbain replied.

Returning to our heroes, they converse:

—What a long road, at least it's good that I have some music on the player to pass the time. — Manolo Said, who listens to his metal at full blast.

—Hey Manolo. —Isidro said he's watching on the Rare + streaming channel.

—What happened, can't you see I'm listening to my music? —Manolo asked grumpily.

—Sorry, but you have to see this. Ains Mongol de Choques from yesterday and today is the number one broadcast today, and guess what he's getting rich with. —Isidro Answered, handing him his cell phone.

—Damn skeleton, it's recording the ordeal we're going thru, but whatever, there's nothing we can do. —Manolo replied, who was watching the program for a moment, and he handed the phone to Isidro and whispered. —Ains of TOMU.

— Apparently, we have company. —Isidro Said, looking at the rearview mirror on his side.

—What are they now? —Manolo asked.

—Let me see, they are undead in armed vehicles. —Isidro Answered.

—Well, the break is over, time to get to work! —Manolo exclaimed.

The horde of vehicles chases them, shooting from behind, but Manolo activates the rear weapons to take out several, and drills emerge from the floor, shooting at them from the sides. On the way, they enter a cemetery, where hordes of zombies emerge, running toward them.

—There are too many, I'll activate the shredder. Take care of the driller or the vehicle drills or whatever that is with Pinky. —Manolo said he does what he says. The front of the vehicle changes from a snowplow to a shredder that turns the zombies in its path into mush. Isidro and Pinky, who are in the side turrets taking care of the drillers. The drillers lead them to a dead end.

—They set a trap for us, but I was already prepared for it. Driller mode. —Manolo said to go to the control panel and activate drill mode, converting the vehicle into the corresponding mode. Pinky and Isidro enter the interior of the vehicle as it changes modes.

Shen ray dives into the ground to leave the cemetery and emerges, transforming into vehicle mode.

—We lost them. —Isidro said that he is back in his position and Pinky is behind them.

—Not for long. They will return when they leave the cemetery. — Manolo answered.

After a few minutes, the horde leaves the cemetery and chases them until they enter a plain where they are surrounded by drillers and armed vehicles.

—We're surrounded, what do we do? —Isidro Asked.

—Let me see. I'll handle it. —Manolo replied, checking the control panel. He sees the electromagnetic pulse option and activates it, disabling all vehicles in the area, then activates the spinning mode, which turns the vehicle into a kind of top that creates a tornado, shredding all vehicles in the area.

—Ready, let's get to work. —Manolo Answered as he leaves the place.

—You could have used that before. —Isidro replied.

—Yes, but what's so fun about that? —Manolo Answered as he pulls him out of there.

—That fun of yours, I don't like it. —Isidro replied.

—Besides, I didn't know if it would work since not all vehicles can withstand an electromagnetic pulse in this world. —Manolo Answered.

—As you wish, but let's finish this quickly, so use the tools that can get us out of this mess fast. —Isidro replied.

They continue on their way until they reach an airbase. Where a soldier asks for identification, they provide it, so they start installing the services in the houses of the soldiers who reside there. When they finish, they leave to continue on their way, but several armed vehicles spot them, so Manolo uses the electromagnetic pulse, but they are immune to it.

—See, I told you. —Manolo Answered.

—I got it, let's get out of here. —Isidro replied.

From the sky come several half-cyborg monsters to support the ground forces. Manolo uses the rear weapons, but they are out of ammunition, so he uses magic mode to change the real ammunition for magic, but the vehicles are anti-magic.

—I curse their gods! —Manolo exclaimed.

—Don't lose your head, we can handle it. —Isidro Answered.

—I have an idea. —Manolo Responded, who imbues his divine energy to use it as ammunition to deal with the armed vehicles, without any complication. Until an armed vehicle appears, similar to Minion from Twisted Metal, but with parts of flesh, bone, and metal.

—Final boss. —Manolo Said.

—This is not a video game, Manolo. —Isidro Answered.

The two vehicles face off in a fierce battle, shooting at each other with everything they have, ramming into each other, until Shen Ray emerges victorious, albeit badly wounded.

—That war beast did a lot of damage to us; I'll see if there's a way to regenerate it on the control panel. —Manolo Said, who searches the control panel until he finds it and completely regenerates the vehicle.

—Yes, that thing did all that damage to us; I can't imagine what's next. —Isidro Answered.

—We still have to keep going. —Manolo replied.

—Yes, let's move on. —Isidro Answered.

They continue on their path.

—How many orders are left? —Manolo asked.

Next, Isidro reviews Manolo's artifact, lists all the orders made and those that are missing:

»According to the artifact:

In the suburbs, we installed five orders.

In the apartment complex, we installed ten orders.

In the small town, we installed twenty orders.

At the airbase, we installed fifteen orders.

All that's left is to go to the capital of the empire to install fifty orders.

—Perfect, I can already smell freedom from afar. —Manolo Said.

—I'll miss you, buddy. —Isidro replied.

—Me too, but isn't your contract temporary? —Manolo asked.

—No, it's permanent, but I love this world; I hope to earn my residency to be with Sofía and the other girls I have around here. —Isidro Answered.

—Well, if you like this hell, good for you, but I don't like it. —Manolo replied, but he noticed a white vehicle similar to a 1967 convertible Impala with a being similar to X from To Be Hero X, but with Lovecraftian features, overtaking them and keeping a distance between them.

—What a beautiful classic car. —Manolo Said.

—Yes, it looks very nice, although I'm not a fan of classic cars. —Isidro Answered.

The being driving the vehicle snaps their fingers and transports the technicians to outer space. Manolo activates the spaceship mode on the control panel, and the vehicle in front of them transforms into a spaceship.

—What the hell was that! —Isidro exclaimed.

—We are in outer space. —Manolo Answered.

—Yeah, I know, Einstein, but, damn it. —Isidro replied, surprised and angry.

—Let's not lose our cool, let me see where we are on the control panel. — Manolo answered, who inquired into the panel until he was informed about it, so he added. —We are still in the dark dimension, but we are very far from the planet Cylax, so we have to go back.

—Well, as long as we don't have to... —Isidro replied until he was surprised to see a fleet of battle ships appear before them and added. —But the devil! And this damned fleet of ships.

—I'm going to contact them to tell them that we just want to return to the planet Cylax and that we are not a threat to them. —Manolo responded goes to the control panel to try to communicate with the captain of the larger ship.

The being's vehicle passes through the formation of ships as if nothing. The fleet captain takes the call.

—Manolo Restituyo, captain of the ship ahead, with whom I report. —Manolo Said.

—I'm Axl Warlock, fleet captain. — Alex replied, who is an alien humanoid dog, and added: So, you are the technicians that Lord Sargoth wants to destroy.

—Lord Sargoth? You are from the Mankind Crushers. —Manolo Answered.

—Yes, and we come to destroy them. —Alex replied.

—Well, if you want to destroy us, you are completely mistaken because we will do it. —Manolo Responded, who ends the transmission.

—Deploy the combat ships. — Axel Ordered.

The armada deploys its fleet of ships to attack them. Shen Ray lunges suicidally to use his laser weapons. He takes down several in the process; Shen Ray takes evasive actions to survive the wave of shots. He moves like a gazelle, evading and resisting the fire from the combat ships, using various energy fields that repel the ships; the large ships fire at him, but he evades them, destroying several of their allies. Shen Ray keeps defeating the combat ships until he changes direction toward the large ships, destroying them with the combat ships that crash when they are diverted or using, launching several mines to destroy their weak points.

—They're destroying us, captain. —Exclaimed one of the crew who saw a red code on his screen.

A call interrupts them.

—It's the Space Dog Patrol —Alex Said as one of the crew members answered the call.

—Captain Alex, my team and I will take care of the technicians. —the leader of the Space Dog Patrol Said.

—Alright, Candar, take care of them; the fleet depends on you. I'll take care of it. —Candar replied.

From one of the giant spaceships, the giant robots emerge, led by the Space Dog Patrol.

—We have company. —Isidro said, looking at Shen Ray's radar.

—Oh, mechs, this just got good. —Manolo Answered, who activates beast mode and then mecha mode, which deploys wings with thrusters.

The combat ships and giant robots join forces to take them down.

—Come here, everyone, damn it! —Manolo shouted.

A brutal battle ensues. Shen Ray deploys his laser weapons imbued with the divine power of Manolo, firing them and destroying hundreds of ships and giant robots. The Space Dog Patrol manages to evade the rain of fire, along with other ships and giant robots. Shen Ray, with his spear, destroys several ships and giant robots, catches a ship and sticks it to a robot; he does this several times. The Space Dog Patrol combines their ships into a giant robot.

—Ooh, a combined giant robot, how cool! —Manolo exclaimed with excitement.

—Well, how are we going to face that thing? —Isidro replied.

—Let me see. — Manolo Responded, who was searching the control panel until he noticed a super mode; he activated it, and Shen Ray switched from mecha mode to a more humanoid version.

The two giant robots lunge at each other to fistfight, causing a shockwave that destroys several ships and giant robots, but the large ships survive the impact, albeit with minor damage. They fight brutally; Shen Ray uses the grappling cable to pull various ships and robots to use them as weapons until they are reduced to pulp. The combat shifts to energy weapons until Shen Ray mutilates him, leaving him out of combat.

Shen Ray throws it toward the largest ship. Stop, shoot it with an energy beam big enough to obliterate them all.

—Done, we've finished with everyone. —Manolo Said.

—Phew, finally, let's get out of here, we have work to do. — Isidro Answered.

—That's the attitude. —Manolo replied.

They are going at a speed faster than light.

The being that set the trap for them continues on its way until it receives a call.

—His Holiness Ulgalion. —the being Said.

—Omega, you already took care of the technicians. I'll handle it. —Ulgalion replied.

—I handed it to the fleet of space dogs on a silver platter; they should have already fallen. —Omega Answered.

—What did Omega say? —Blackend interrupted.

—The fleet of space dogs took care of it. —Ulgalion Said.

—How strange, Alex isn't answering to inform me about it. —Sargoth replied, trying to communicate with them, but there's no signal.

Omega looks in the rearview mirror and sees Shen Ray about to catch up to him.

—Impossible, they're still alive! —Omega exclaimed.

—Oh, damn, and those technicians refuse to die. —Ulgalion responded, who heard it thru the intercom.

The faction members get upset about that.

—Don't worry, your holiness, I have a secret weapon that will end them once and for all. —Omega Said.

—I hope so, Omega. —Ulgalion Answered, ending the call.

—Well, now everything is in Omega's hands. —Ulgalion Said to his companions.

Returning to the technicians, they are about to reach Omega, but he uses his power to make a prayer and summon Lovecraftian gods. In space, a rift opens where cosmic entities straight out of hell itself appear.

—What the hell! —Isidro shouted.

—Oh, cosmic entities, well, it's time to let you know who the one true god is. —Manolo Said as he enveloped Shen Ray in divine energy.

Shen Ray faces the twelve entities that emerged; although he is at a disadvantage, he manages to hold his ground and keep them at bay. The fight is so destructive that it destroys half the galaxy, but Shen Ray manages to kill them and close the rift that opened with the strength of his hands.

Shen Ray launches several parts of the gods they killed at the speed of light and then rides on top of them as if they were a skateboard.

—What an epic fight that was. Now let's deal with the bastard who teleported us. —Manolo Said.

—Yes, that bastard will pay dearly. —Isidro replied.

Shen Ray throws a part of the entity so that they can grab it with the hook rope.

—Damn beasts! —Omega shouted, seeing the parts of the cosmic entities around him.

Shen Ray jumps from one side to the other until he reaches Omega.

—Damn, they caught up with me. —Omega Said.

Manolo, Isidro, and Pinky get off Shen Ray.

—You're dead, cursed one, pray to your gods to save you! Ah, no, wait, we killed him. —Manolo Exclaimed, who laughs devilishly.

Omega snaps his fingers, but it doesn't work.

—No, we'll fall into that trap again. —Manolo Said.

—I hate fighting, but if that's what they want, then so be it. —Omega Answered as he drew a cursed sword from his hand.

Manolo takes out his Bible to turn it into a sword, and angel wings sprout from behind his back. They charge at him, but he snaps his fingers to summon more cosmic entities and other celestial bodies to stop them, but they defeat them as a team until they reach Omega. The three confront him, but he keeps summoning more cosmic entities, so Isidro and Pinky take care of them while Manolo and Omega face off in a sword duel.

—What's your name? — Manolo asked while they were fighting.

—You can call me Omega. —Omega Answered.

—Get ready, Omega, you're going to bite the dust. —Manolo replied.

—We'll see. —Omega Answered.

They keep fighting until Manolo shoots a beam at him, but Omega dodges it. Manolo receives a beating from Omega, but when Omega is about to deliver the final blow, Manolo grabs the sword with his teeth and slams him to the floor several times. Omega snaps his fingers to summon several entities, but Manolo turns them into mincemeat.

Omega tries to escape, but he doesn't let him until Pinky and Isidro finish with the cosmic entities to get to where the two are. Upon arriving, they beat him to death.

—Ready, he was a worthy opponent, but we must reach the empire. —Manolo Said.

—Let's get out of here, we're almost there. —Isidro replied.

They get on Shen Ray. They cling to one of the pieces to reach the planet Cylax. The parts of the gods arrive on the planet, spreading throughout the world, causing destruction everyplace.

They land on the outskirts of the empire where the anti-project faction awaits them with an army composed of the faction's leaders, the best soldiers, and other monsters.

—Let there be light! — Manolo said Manolo, making a sun appear that illuminated everything.

Manolo raises his sword so that the sky opens and allows a legion of angels of all kinds to pass.

—So, this is Manolo's power, but if he thinks he's going to defeat us, he's completely mistaken! — Aldrich said and added. —Charge, my comrades.

Manolo signals for them to attack. Both launch into the attack, firing at each other with everything until they collide violently. Manolo makes his way thru with his powers until he reaches the leaders of the faction.

—Finally, their time has come. —Manolo Said.

—The one whose time has come is you. —Aldrich replied.

They lunge at him, but Mano claps with the power of a nuclear missile. The leaders recover, but Manolo lunges at one of them, but Aldrich stops him.

—This is our fight, Manolo. —Aldrich Exclaimed.

—Second round, I won't show you any mercy. —Manolo Answered.

—As if I wanted to have her. —Aldrich replied.

They fight fiercely, Blackend joins the battle, as does Sargoth, who fires a burst of laser shots while the others summon minions to help them. Manolo takes a beating, but he frees himself from them and then counters brutally, ultimately killing Blackend by cutting off his weapons, then extracting his core and crushing it with his hand. He gives Sargoth a beating until he decapitates him and splits him in two.

—Damn you, you'll pay for this! —Aldrich shouted, filled with rage.

—You are scum, you will never stop the progress of humanity. —Manolo Answered.

Both face each other mercilessly, but the other's minions cannot approach due to the magnitude of the confrontation. Manolo destroys her armor, leaving her almost naked. Manolo throws Aldrich toward the minions so they can charge at the remaining leaders, then he cuts off Oculan's arm, splits him in half, and completely disintegrates him. He disintegrates Kulbain with a cutting burst of energy. He mutilates Infernus's limbs, in addition to disintegrating him with his divine ray vision. Aldrich goes to save Ulgalion, who is fleeing from him, but he teleports, plunges his hand into his heart, and disintegrates him without mercy.

—I'm going to avenge them, get ready Manolo! —Aldrich exclaimed in anger.

They fight until they wear themselves out, until Manolo takes the weapon from him, grabs him by the hands, and tears off his arms, cuts off his legs, but before disintegrating him with his divine laser eyes. Angus appears to stop Manolo.

—I beg you to let her live, I know you don't get along with her, but I beg you, let her live. —Angus Interrupted, kneeling before him.

—Alright, take it, I've done what I had to do. —Manolo answered, but first he knocks her out and hands her over to Angus.

He teleports to his dungeon.

—Isidro, convert Shen Ray into vehicle mode, we have work to do. —Manolo said to call him on the cell phone.

—Alright, I hope he lets me convert it. —Isidro replied.

—If you have any problems, let me know. —Manolo answered.

Isidro confronts Shen Ray until, by a miracle, he swings behind him to open the rear compartment to access the control panel and, transformed into vehicle mode, uses aerial mode to go where Manolo is.

—You killed them all. —Isidro Said.

—Yes, but Aldrich is missing. —Manolo replied.

—What happened? —Isidro asked.

—Angus showed up and took her away. —Manolo Answered.

—He'll surely mess up our lives again...well, mine, but we have to live with it. —Isidro replied.

—Well, I won't be here for that. —Manolo Answered.

—Yes, it's a shame, so let's go because we have to work. —Isidro replied.

Manolo gets on to go to the gates of the empire. The guards ask for their identification, they give it to them, and then they let them in. They go to the houses with the pending order, they install them.

—I'm tired, let's take a break. —Isidro Said.

—We only have one left, which is the castle of Cylax Gurren. —Manolo Answered.

—Oh my God! You have to be kidding, that's going to be a nightmare to install. —Isidro Exclaimed.

—It's not the first time we've set up a castle. —Manolo Answered.

—Alright, let's install that so you'll be happy. —Isidro replied.

—Perfect, let's go. —Manolo Answered.

They go to the castle, the castle guards ask for identification before letting them in. Once inside, one of the servants guides them and gives them instructions to install the order. They install the order, but the servant tells them that the emperor wants to see them. Upon entering the throne room, the emperor is seated on his throne. They bow.

—Welcome to my empire, technicians of the dark dimension. I have been expecting you. You have caused several damages that live up to your name. Modern Inquisitor. —Cylax Said.

Manolo takes the floor.

—I want to apologize for the damage... —Manolo replied.

—Don't worry, I'm not angry. I have enjoyed your adventures on the show Yesterday and Today's Shocks. Besides the fact that you created a sun and summoned angels to end the anti-human rebellion that has endangered the humans residing here, I can turn a blind eye if you allow me to fight you. —Cylax Responded.

—Alright, why not. —Manolo Answered.

Cylax transports him to another dimension. Isidro takes on the role of a spectator. They both look at each other in the face. Cylax fires bursts of dark energy at him. Manolo dodges them until he reaches him. He dodges their blows until one of them gives him a shove that sends him flying. He recovers in the air; wings sprout from him to shoot divine energy beams. Cylax evades him and teleports behind him, but Manolo attacks him, though he teleported before touching him. Cylax does this several times until he manages to hit Manolo, sending him flying. He deploys energy orbs that explode, causing damage to Manolo. He continues sending explosive orbs until Manolo falls, badly injured.

—Is that all you've got, a modern Inquisitor! —Cylax shouted.

—I was just warming up. —Manolo Said as he lunges and unleashes several orbs of divine energy, and Cylax those of dark energy. These explode until Manolo, at the speed of light, lands a kick to the head. Manolo gives the emperor a beating, but he teleports to catch his breath.

—Good hits, it's been a long time since I felt my own blood. —Cylax Said.

—How nice, because I won't have mercy. —Manolo Answered.

—Me neither. — Cylax Responded.

They both clash fists, exchanging blows at the speed of light. Cylax powers up and launches a barrage of orbs and energy beams, just like Manolo. Asteroids fall from the sky, Manolo destroys them with his energy beams, but Cylax takes the opportunity to teleport behind him and beat him up until he's half dead. However, Manolo regenerates, but Cylax doesn't let him rest.

—Enough. —Manolo said he is possessed by another being, he grabs Cylax's fist.

—So, you are the god who gave powers to the Modern Inquisitor. —Cylax Said.

—If I am, now let me give you a lesson in my power. —Manolo Said, influenced by the being that makes Cylax kneel with the power of his mind.

—What do you want from us? —Cylax Answered.

—I've already fulfilled my mission, avenged the victims of their invasion of the land, and also caught the attention of a certain being. —The being replied and added. —From now on, when Manolo finishes his work, you will not know the identity of the modern Inquisitor.

The being snaps its fingers, Manolo, Isidro, and Shen Ray appear near Ludovico, who is in his car.

—My warriors are fighting their battles, but very soon they will return to my glory. —Ludovico Said as various events unfolded in different worlds thru his eyes:

In universe 0001, Duck Mcduckwell in a car chase.

In universe 0010, the Fallen Squad is facing off against the tyranny of Eve Evilkill.

In universe 0011, Demitri Dreadful faces a wave of werewolves.

In the universe 0100, Ronan of Kaliburn and his army facing vampires.

In the universe 0101, Universal Crusader fighting with an evil being.

In the 0110 universe, Glass Ballhead fighting against a tough opponent.

In the 0111 universe, Gatling Outlaw in a motorized chase.

And the Dominican Isekai Lander fighting in a battle against the demons.

—Are Manolo and Isidro okay? —Ludovico asked.

—Yes, we are fine. —They both answered.

—How nice. —Said Ludovico.

Manolo sees the counter reach zero and disappear from his hand.

— Finally, I am free. —Manolo Said.

—Here, Manolo, I brought you normal clothes so you can take off that technician outfit. —Ludovico replied as he handed him the clothes.

Manolo changes his clothes and hands over all his technician belongings to Isidro.

—Ready, we can go now. —Ludovico Said as they got into the car.

—See you later, Manolo, God bless you. —Isidro replied, feeling like crying.

—Same goes for you, don't cry for me, when I have my company, I'll call you so you can be with me. —Manolo Answered, who also had tears streaming down his face.

Ludovico starts the vehicle to go to the dark dimension. Isidro says goodbye with a farewell gesture. The angels, after defeating the army of the anti-human rebellion, return to heaven.

Some time passed, and with the money he earned as a technician, he founded the company Solar Comunicaciones and Engine Robotics, which belongs to his son. The companies were maintained for a time, but they gained many accolades for their marketing strategies in addition to the service they provided. These expanded into other universes and dimensions.

One day, like any other, Manolo goes to visit the branch of Universe 0010. He visits the office of Law and Chaos, advanced private investigation, since he had become friends with Duke McDuckwell. Shanise informs Duke by phone, and he orders her to come to his office.

—Oh, Manolo, long time no see, what is someone as important as you doing in a place like this? —Duke asked, as they shook hands and hugged like old friends.

—Hello, Kaede, how are you? — Manolo asked.

—All good, Manolo, and you? —Kaede replied, squeezing their hands and hugging.

— I'm fine, thanks for asking. —Manolo Answered as he sits in a chair in front of Duke's desk.

—How's your job going? — Manolo asked.

—Surviving day by day. What can I say? —Duke Answered and asked.

A call from Shanise interrupts them.

—Don't you see I'm talking to my friend? —Duke said, who answered the call.

—Your children have arrived from school. —Shanise replied.

—Oh, let them in. —Duke Answered.

Minnie and two other children enter the office.

— Keloke, verdolaga, long time no see! —said a boy with dark skin.

Those words sound familiar.

—Argenis, you scoundrel, you're alive. —Manolo Answered.
