Chapter 64 - Vol. 5 - Chapter 5: The Golden City of Halona

Part 1 –Near the Volcano

"So let me get this straight, there is actually a temple inside the Volcano?" Alexa asks Uriel who nods agreeing with the statement. Uriel begins to explain:

"According to Marina, there is Golden Key is inside the temple but it can only be activated by the sacrifice of a person."

"I see that explains the Aztec's sacrificial ritual." Dr. Ortiz says to Uriel. Uriel continues to explain: "The Aztecs heard that the "key" to the world where the Gods lived would be createdwith the sacrifice."

"Indeed, well that explains much." Katsumi says to them as they arrived to at the Volcano. The limousine left them 20 km away because trespassing is dangerous to enter the Volcano beyond a certain point. Uriel uses his spell: "MemoriaPerdida" (Lost Memory) to erase the memories of the soldiers guarding the entrance to the forest.

The team walks by some dangerous terrains, avoiding any dangerous animals, or any more soldiers to see them until they finally arrive at the Volcano. At the entrance of the Volcano there was a golem waiting for them.

"Leave him to me" Katsumi takes out a katana and charges straight at the golem. Katsumi slashes the golems arm.

(SSSLLLLAAASSSHHH)

The golems arm falls but it begins to regenerate. Dr. Ortiz yells at Katsumi: "Katsumi you must hit the golem's heart, that way it will be destroyed completely."

Katsumi nods at him and charges once more time trying to attack the golem's heart but the golem keeps on blocking her. Alexa begins to lose her patience and says:

"She's taking too damn long, let me handle it" Alexa begins to walk straight at the golem as she starts transforming. Blue flames come out of Alexa's ring changing her into a female version of the Mariachi attire. The suit consists in a long embroidered black skirt, reaching the ankles, a white dress shirt, chaps, serape and a red pitea belt. Her hair is a ponytail with a red ribbon; she has a long tuft on the right side of her face, and she wears a Mariachi Sombrero. She also wears the traditional black charro jacket embroidered with flower patterns. On her hip, she has sword with red gloves.

Alexa takes out her sword and makes a stance. Her sword is a cutlass. A short, broad slashing sword,with a straight or slightly curved blade sharpened on the cutting edge, and a hilt features a solid cupped guard.Uriel notices she is about to attack and quickly changes into his Charro form as well, he quickly gets Katsumi out of the way as Alexa says:

"Arte del Mariachi: Melodía de la Guitarra-Primera Cuerda: Mi ( E )"

(Translates: Mariachi Art: Guitar Melody- First String: Mi (E))

Alexa swings her sword; the air begins to move as manna becomes visible in the form of strings cutting the Golem into multiple pieces destroying its heart in an instant. Alexa begins to walk to the entrance as she looks at them and says: "Aren't you supposed to be a ROOT ELITE?"

"Uriel what was that?" Katsumi asks Uriel. Uriel puts Katsumi down saying:

"That was her special technique, "Manna Strings" she focuses the manna around us into powerful strings cutting everything that she targets. She is an expert, and stronger than me. That is why his father, my predecessor wants me to pass down my powers to her." Uriel lowers his head, but Katsumi touches his shoulder saying:

"You are strong, you just need more confidence."

Alejandro who saw everything begins to shake saying: "Man, this guys are so cool; I wish I had those powers."

"Haha, so do I but let's go boy." Dr. Ortiz says to Alejandro as they begin to walk inside the Volcano.

Uriel and the others walk down the path when they encounter with the second golem. Alexa was about to draw her sword again but Uriel makes a move first and charges at the golem with high-speed saying:

"Arte del Mariachi: Canción del Viento, Primera Estrofa: Ráfaga de Viento Cortante"

(Translates: Mariachi Art: Wind Song, First Stanza: Gust of Cutting Wind)

Uriel releases manna in the form of wind making multiple cuts to the golem, the golem's heart crushes into pieces as well killing him in an instant.

"Show off" Alexa says putting her sword away.

"So they have arrived, my golems were taken down." El Muerto says to Ahide and Xochitl.

Part 2 – The Golden city.

Uriel and the others arrive to the center of the Volcano to see the Golden Temple standing shining. Everyone is surprised to see the huge temple and the multiple buildings made of Gold. The pathway has golden pillars and a golden floor.

"Welcome my friends" El Muerto says standing at top of the temple. The group looks at the top and notices the six students and Dr. Escobar tied up hanging all tied up in the golden pillars.

"DDDDDAAARRRRLLLINNNNGGG" Dr. Ortiz screams as he begins to run to get his wife. However, a golem appears and tries to hit the Doctor but Uriel runs faster and gets him out of the way.

(BBBBBOOOMMMM)

"Listen Doctor, stick to the plan" Uriel says to the Doctor who calms down saying: "I'm sorry"

El Muerto laughs and says: "Splendid, now this is entertainment. Now then how about we start the main event."

El Muerto snaps his fingers, suddenly Quetzalcoatl flies down to the crater and stands next to El Muerto. Ahide and Xochitl stand right beside El Muerto, her looks at them and says:

"Listen in 20 minutes the Golden Key will rise once again, only then will I be able to revive your mother."

Ahide and Xochitl both nod at the same time.Xochitl summons her black cat. The black cat begins to walk down the stairs, however it begins to grow bigger and bigger. Suddenly it turns into a Giant Black Jaguar with Golden Aztec pattern marking and a mirror hanging in his neck, making a huge roar.

(RRRRRAAAAAWWWWWW)

"Guardian Deity: Tezcatlipoca" Xochitl says as she jumps into the Jaguar's head. The group is shocked to see the new Beast emerging. Alexa takes out her sword and slashes the ropes of the students and Doctor making them fall to the ground. She puts her sword away, begins to walk away, changes into her normal clothes and sits in a rock looking at her phone saying:

"I've done my part, in 20 Minutes the Golden Key will appear so I'll just wait. Good luck"

"W-W-Waittt" Uriel says but Quetzalcoatl attacks them. The Feathered Serpent releases a manna breath. Uriel jumps swinging his sword reflecting the attack.

(BBBBBOOOOOMMMMM)

"Guys follow the plan" Uriel screams to Dr. Ortiz and Alejandro who begin to run towards the others. Katsumi is left battling the Jaguar. She changes into her Esper Suit and draws her katana saying:

"Xochitl I don't want to hurt you."

"I'm sorry, but it is the only way to see my mother." Xochitl says as the Jaguar attacks.

(BOOOOMMMMM)

Uriel once again faces up against Quetzalcoatl. The serpent fuses once again with Ahide making a purple armor with red and black feathers.

"I'm sorry Marina but I must teach your son a lesson."

El Muerto looks at them fight saying: "Only 15 Minutes left."

Part 3- Hotel

"I hope Uriel's alright," Marjorie says looking at the Lunar Eclipse. Johanna is drinking beer saying:

"Relax that boy is strong, I think you are much more worried about Uriel than your own boyfriend don't you think"

Majorie lowers her head and says: "You are right, I'm horrible"

"Relax girl, you are young, you can change your feelings all the times, but I can see you really love Uriel" Johanna says as she hugs Marjorie.

"Well then let's go check on the students, the two of them should be okay" Johanna says as leaves the room.

"The two?" Marjorie think as her head begins to hurt making her say: "Ah yes the two."

In the bedroom where the students were at, only two beds were occupied with someone missing.
