"What's going on?"

"King Curcuitshort was kidnapped in a Techadon raid last night. The Proton and Protode leaders are having it out."

Richard and Maklar looked down into the stadium.

"We have to take action now! The King is in danger!"

"Are you crazy?! We need to think this through, and, if needed, exacute Plan Beta!"

Maklar looked at General Kcohs. "Plan Beta?"

"Uh-huh. Only the king can order it. Oh, this doesn't surprise me at all."

"What?"

"As usual, the Proton got things riled up."

"I got this."

Richard pressed the Simplicitrix and transformed into Protode Feedback. He ran into the Protode side. "Hey! Quiet down!"

He snuck out and behind the stadium. He pressed the Simplicitrix again. The bolts on his body disappeared, his fingers became round, and his antenna got shorter. He ran into the Proton side. "Yeah! Let's hear these guys talk!"

He walked out and behind the leaders, and then transformed back. "Okay, so some of us are Protons, others Protodes. But, hey. I'm a human and my partners a Xamproilian. We don't always see eye to eye but we still can get the job done."

He pulled the Proton and Protode leaders together, and then was electrocuted. Both leaders walked a way a few inches. "I should have seen that coming."

The Protode leader shouted. "We need to attack the Techadons directly!"

Richard nodded. "Who's with us?"

The Proton leader protested. "If we do not plan, we won't be able to attack and the Techadons will surely win."

Maklar came up beside the Proton leader. "That plan is much more reliable. And it leaves our options open."

"Dude! They took the Conductoid King!"

"YEAH!"

"If we do not plan and the Techadons win, the King will have no country!"

"YEAH!"

"Fine. Let's do it my way."

"No, Richard."

"What?!"

"My mind is made up."

"So's mine."

The Proton leader, Protons and Maklar walked away, while the Protode leader, Protodes, and Richard walked the other.

"Hey, Maklar!"

"Yes?"

"Good luck."

"To you as well."
