Meanwhile back at Macho Mesa... the Nine are going about their business as usual. Though there is still some talk of last months encounter with Gordito, all thoughts are now on the football game being played. Oso Verde and Fantasmas mas Palomas are playing Sueltos Frijoles and Caliente for the championship of the NFL Blitz tournament. Sueltos y Calitente are winning by 4 with two minuets left. But an interception by Oso, with one minute left gives his team another chance. Fantasmas, at QB, then puts together a long drive and with 2 seconds left hits a touchdown pass to win the game. “Alright! Nice pass Fantasmas.”
“Thanks dude but we wouldn’t of won with out your awesome defense.”
“You guys just got lucky,” says Sueltos. “We got robbed.”
“Whatever dude,” says Fantasmas. “We’re still the champions!”
Meanwhile back on the reservation trouble is brewing. It’s a peaceful day in the hogan of Running Big Calf. He and his brother, Drinks Too Much, are inside eating fry-bread. That’s when the blasting started. BLAMM!!!
“What was that!” says Big Calf. “Sounded like an explosion.” The two men run outside and see that a large portion of a plateau is missing. There are trucks and machines in the distance. “What are those people doing!? They’re destroying or land.”
“Go stop them,” Drinks Too Much yells. “I’ll go gather the warriors and meet you there.”
Leaping off his enormous leg, RBC reaches the workers in less than a minute. “What are you doing!? This is not your land!” The workers stop and look in wonder at the strange white man wearing traditional Navajo clothing. None of them know what to do. Then a large truck comes up, and out steps a boy with an extremely large head.
“I know this is not my land,” speaks the boy. “But after I’m done with it nobody will want it. Then I will fulfill my dream to build the world’s largest parking lot. Nothing will stop me. So says Megabrain!!”
“That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard!” says RBC. “You will never take this sacred land!”
“Just try and stop me. Dispatch of this nuisance.” The workers pick up hammers, picks, and shovels, and attack Big Calf. Just as Big Calf lunges toward the men Drinks Too Much arrives with the other warriors. The warriors let out a battle cry and charge the workers. Though they are out numbered, the fight bravely and the battle soon turns in their favor.
Seeing his men being overrun Megabrain realizes that this battle must be won if his dreams are to be fulfilled. “Enough!” screams Megabrain. “Send in the Mega Bots” Suddenly there is a loud rumbling sound. The workers drop their weapons and run for cover. The rumbling grows louder and RBC sees something rapidly approaching on the horizon. Five huge robots land before them, and for a moment there is silence. Then the robots open fire with their laser cannons and missile launchers. The Navajo ranks are decimated.
“Fall back my brothers!” yells Big Calf. We are being slaughtered.” The robots continue to fire even as the warriors are retreating. Out of the 38 men who went into battle only 14 return to camp, and most are badly wounded.
“I cannot let my people be driven off their land,” thinks Big Calf. “I will find a way.” RBC has the elders of the tribe prepare a sweat lodge, so that he may have a vision. For three days and nights he stays in the sweat with out food or water. On the morning of the fourth day the Sky Father, Ahsonnutli, hears Big Calf's prayers and sends him a vision. RBC envisions himself flying across the sea to a distant land. He sees a great castle and a majestic golden cup. Then he hears the voice of the Sky Father telling him to focus on the cup and pour his thoughts into it. Big Calf strains and concentrates on pouring himself into the magic vessel, and then faints.
Back at the Mesa, Duende Gallo awakens from a dream and telepathically tells his 8 brothers to meet him in the great hall. “My brothers,” he says after they have all arrived. “We must go to Arizona. I had a strange dream, I cannot quite tell what it was, but I sense a great urgency. Somebody in Arizona needs our help. We must leave at once.”
“That’s weird,” says El Torso. “I had a dream out about Indians fighting robots. I don’t know why, but I think they were Navajo.”
“Yes,” Duende says. “I believe the cry for help came from the Navajo Reservation.”
With that the Nine prepare for war and take off in the Macho Jet. Some unknown force draws them directly toward Big Calf. When they land they see a strange looking man with a loincloth and a giant right leg. Running Big Calf greets them and tells him of the evil boy, and the slaughter of the warriors. Touched by his tale, the Nine agree to help him.
“It is a good day to die,” says RBC, as the head off to battle the maniacal Megabrain and his robots.
When they reach the construction site the workers are bulldozing a small plateau. Immediately Caliente burns them to a crisp with a fire flare. From out of his truck booms Megabrain's lispy voice. “I see you’ve come back Navajo, and with some friends. No matter, just more victims for the Mega Bots.”
Out from behind a mesa fly 10 deadly robots. Before they can even fire a single shot, Fantasmas takes one out with a bazooka. Then Sueltos flies out to meet them and lets out a cloud of acid gas that burns the wires out of five of the robots, rendering them useless. When they get closer Choni Susio hits two with snot rockets, jamming their propulsion systems. As the two crash to the ground Cerviche shoots his head into another, knocking it out of the sky. The last robot gets off a short bust of gunfire before being crushed by a huge rock thrown by Oso Verde.
“Wow that was easy,” scoffs Duende. “Hey look at Megabrain’s truck!”
The truck opens up and a small orb flies out. “You haven’t heard the last of me!” laughs Megabrain, with a girlish squeal, as he zooms away.
“Well I hope not,” says Huevos. “I didn’t get a chance to pummel you.”
“Thank you my friends,” says Running Big Calf, upon the men’s return to the Navajo village. “Once again this land is safe for my people. Is there any way to repay you?”
“We’re just doing our job,” replies Duende, “but we may ask you for a favor in the future. And hey since we're in Arizona, we might as well go to Bisbee and see our families.”
“And chicks,” blurts out Caliente. “We should stop in Phoenix and find some chicks.”
And with that our nine brave heroes visit their past in Bisbee, and then spend time in Phoenix for some well-deserved R and R. For once again the day has been saved by MACHO MESA.
