He spoke softly and clearly, “We are the true Crimson Bloods. We have come to clear our name. You MUST know that we, the true Crimson Bloods, have not been stealing from you. Until now, we have not been trespassing into your territories. Most importantly, we have not been killing the Shido Tribe citizens. We, the true Crimson Bloods, established our own peaceful society long ago. In fact, the one you know as Dr. Kyro is one of our own. Therefore, we will punish him ourselves for his indiscretions.”

“What are you talking about? I’ve been alone from the beginning. I’ve never even heard of any other Crimsons! If I had known of such a place…” Kyro shouted then paused as he bit his lip.

The lion-like Crimson continued, “The only thing that would explain why you never returned would be that you somehow lost your memory.” 

The princess slowly stood using the branches from the lightning rod tree, “Where is your civilization?”

“Princess, with all due respect, that is none of your concern. Although I am here to help you today, understand that tomorrow is a new day, and we have not forgotten that it was your father who nearly wiped out our kind.”

Then Juicy shouted, “So, you expect us to say thank you and let you go! How do we know that you aren’t the masterminds behind this whole thing?”

“Understand, we, the true Crimson Bloods did not want our existence to even be discovered. We wanted to remain a secret society. But, when we heard news that the Crimsons have returned and have been making trouble, we, the true Crimson Bloods, were forced to investigate. And we were willing to reveal our existence prematurely in order to clear our name.”

The princess shouted, “He worked for me and I didn’t even know what he was doing! How did you find out?”

The lion-like Crimson said, “If you seek, you will find.”

Tuyette was speechless. We all were. The veterans who helped fight off the fake Crimsons all began to surround the area, staring at the true Crimson Bloods.

Suddenly, we all heard running footsteps grow louder and louder. Then we heard a very robot-like voice say, “Doctor, Doctor, I’m here.”

It was Jack Findle still in his hospital clothes, with his butt hanging out of his gown, and a metal device around his neck.

He continued to speak in his robotic voice, “Don’t worry Doctor. Your plan will still work. Just as I always thought; I am your greatest asset.”

 Lucius shouted, “Don’t laugh guys, that’s all he wants you to do. Talking bout asset.”

Everyone but Kyro and Lucius began laughing. Even the true Crimson Bloods cracked a smile.

Jack said, “You won’t be laughing soon because you’ll all be dead. I took a double dose of your explosive serum doctor. Aren’t you proud of me? We are finally going to rid ourselves of this Umi trash.”

Kyro smiled, “Jack, my boy. You finally did something right!”

Then Kyro turned in attempt to run away, but the gorilla-like Crimson quickly took him down. He hammered Kyro in the head and hit him so hard that half of his body was cratered into the ground. The only part of Kyro we could see was his legs.

Jack tried to shout with his robotic-like voice but every word was monotone. He said, “Dr. Kyro, nooooooo. I will avenge you.”

Then, Jack’s body began to rapidly swell. Jack attempted to shout in his robot voice again, “Look who’s laughing now. Ha, ha, ha.”

Suddenly, we all began to feel the heat from Jack’s body rise as his body began to glow.

Juicy shouted, “Run!”

But it was too late for us all, Princess Tuyette, Dan Siratchi, Juicy, Lucius, all of the Umi Tribe veterans, Myself and even the true Crimson Bloods.

The explosions wiped out everything in a sixty yard radius.
