Part 1- 8 years ago
"Well, well so they did survive and El Charro Negro is protecting him." A man in a wheel chair says it while laughing.
"You should have stayed in bed sir; it has not been even 6 hours." An employee tells the man.
"Silence, you idiot, there must be no suspicion." The man says to him revealing himself as Darius. He had bandages in all his body and he wears his dark glasses as well. The office has pictures of Roberto with a black ribbon in signs of respect
"Father, are you in there?" The voice of Aleister is heard.
"Yes son I´m here." Darius replies.
Aleister enters the room with some of his bodyguards and makes a question to Darius:
"So what is your next move father, the cities of gold are incomplete and the red moon is gone."
"Don´t worry my son the attack in "that" base was a success last night and we got our second objective thanks to the Red Moon. Do not worry it was not in vain plus I killed that idiot of Roberto."
Darius explains to his son. Aleister leaves the room leaving Darius thinking what his next option was. Darius receives a call from the voice of a man through the phone and it says:
"Good work, Darius, you got rid of the Solitary Wolf. It will take eight years for another red moon, be patient. We will get that treasure. I need to inform you; the horsemen of War got his successor. Because there is another horseman, we must be in high alert. In the mean time take over the border city, "Tree and Order" will soon make a move as well so be in alert."
"Uriel Vazquez, I swear I will kill you "Darius says with extreme anger.
Part 2 – Sun City- Present Day
Uriel and Darius stare at each other, Darius begins to laugh:
"Splendid, I love that look on your face, it reminds me of Roberto. I really hated that man, now I have the opportunity to kill him once more, Uriel Vazquez."
"Vazquez ehh? I haven´t used that name in a long time." Uriel replies with a smirk, he continues to speak:
"So then, are you going to try to persuade me of giving my powers to your son? Aleister almost succeeded."
Darius shakes his and replies; "No, no, I thank you for not accepting, I always thought it was a stupid idea. Don´t worry, I want to kill you with your full power." Darius creates a portal he begins to walk towards it as he says:
"Come with me, I want to show you something."
Uriel begins to walk, "URIEL WAIT!" Katsumi screams, Uriel stops, and he turns around and smiles:
"Don't worry about me, I swear I will win."
Katsumi nods in agreement with a smile; Shion looks at him with admiration and says:
"Wow, he´s so cool, no wonder you fell for him senpai. But I hope he can handle Darius."
Uriel enters the portal and the portal closes completely. Katsumi touches her chest as she thinks:
"Please Uriel, don´t die."
Part 3 – Outside Rio Grande
Juan de la Trinidad and Sister Magdalena stand outside the barrier, Juan stands in front of Magdalena preventing her to pass. Magdalena gets mad and asks with a sarcastic tone:
"Please Juan, this is getting old, just let me pass please?"
"You know I can´t Magdalena, now let me ask you this; Why do you want to pass, I doubt the Church wants the power of the Gates of the Underworld right?"
"Absolutely not, what I came here personally is to get Sister Griselda out of there, she is currently inside and I want to rescue her. When it comes to the Gates of the Underworld, the church decided to let that matter to Yggdrasil."
"I see, so that´s all you wanted?" Juan asks, Magdalena nods in agreement, Juan sighs with his eyes close opens a portal. The portal extends and people begin to fall to the ground, "GYYAAHHHH", the sisters, Maria, Daniel and Valerie fall from the portal. Daniel creates a red floor stopping their fall expect three little sisters who keep on falling.
Fabiola falls first, Mariana and Abril fall on top of her. Fabiola stands up grabbing her back, she sees the others landing safely. Fabiola goes and exclaims:
"DANIEL, WHY DID YOU LET US FALL, DAMNIT!"
Daniel looks away and replies with a sarcastic tone; "Oh really, I guess I miscalculated."
"Sister Griselda, Are you alright?" Magdalena runs to Griselda´s side, Griselda nods in agreement and replies; "I´m fine dear, but what are you doing here?"
"I came to rescue you, but you seem to be fine."
"Well it´s all thanks to Maria and her children." Griselda smiles, Magdalena looks at Maria and a tense air blows, Valerie and Carolina step back as well as the other sisters. "Thank you for saving Griselda, Maria" Magdalena says with a serious tone, Maria smiles and replies;
"The pleasure is mine; after all, Griselda is like a mother to me. The one you give thanks is my son Uriel, you know, the cursed one?"
"I see, very well, I will thank him after all of this is over and if he survives." Maria gets angry at her, the tension grows stronger, and Juan claps one time and says:
"Very well, I brought you what you wanted; now then, I shall take my leave. Here is some advice; you should leave as well because the final fight will begin."
Juan disappears, Daniel walks closer to the barrier as he says; "Uriel, everything is in your hands now."
Part 4 – A few moments before, Alexa´s side
Alexa stands on a hill looking down at the city; she thinks about the events that happened a few moments before:
(BBBOOOMMM)
Fire spreads throughout Rio Grande City, Uriel jumps back with blood coming out of his arm. Alexa walks forward with her sword, Uriel cures himself slowly, and suddenly a massive manna pillar hits some buildings away from them.
(BBBBBOOOOMMMM)
Uriel looks at it and begins to say; "Alexa, you need to let me go, I need to stop Darius from opening the gates."
"Why should you? Who cares if he gets what he wants, it won't affect you in the slightest."
"Of course it will, it will affect everyone in the world. Please let me stop him."
"You don't get it do you? For me being a Charro has been my purpose in life, I want to be just like father and yet you have those powers. That´s why I want to have a duel with you please let me have them." Alexa begins to cry, Uriel sighs and says:
"I understand, but let me ask you this, if you have my powers, will you stop Darius?"
Alexa shakes her head saying "no", "I see, than I will have to decline your duel, you see being what I am has brought me pain, but it also gave me power to protect my family, by defeating Darius, I will fulfill my duty as a Charro. Once I finish my duty I will duel you, if you beat me I will hand over my powers. How's that? Do we have a deal?"
Uriel stretches his arm, Alexa sighs with her eyes close; "You won't change your mind right? Very well, I accept, just finish Darius before the Red Moon disappears okay." Uriel nods in agreement and smiles:
"Thank you!"
Uriel heads to the battlefield once again, leaving Alexa thinking about her purpose. In the present, a portal opens up, Juan comes out and says; "My sweet flower, how are you? I thought you were going to force Uriel to give you his powers?"
Alexa chuckles and looks at the moon; "It´s like you said father, he is very stubborn, was Roberto like that too?"
"Indeed he was, something is certain; those two have a strong will." Juan pats Alexa´s head and says; "For now, let´s see if Uriel can survive, Darius is the strongest opponent he will face. Good Luck, my Successor."
Part 5 – International Bank
In the 20th floor of the International bank, one floor below Darius´ room, a small office located at the end of the corridor, an office that points to the mountains lies there. This office has been abandoned for 8 years now, it belong to the Finance Manager; Roberto Vazquez.
The portal opens in the office, Uriel walks and sees the office, "Wait this is…"
"Exactly, this is your father´s office, it´s just like he left it the day he decided to go eat lunch with his wife." Darius says through a microphone, Uriel gets mad and looks to all the directions searching for Darius.
"Are you playing with me? Why?"
"I´m not playing with you, I just wanted to show your dad´s office one more time, remembers when you used to come here?"
Uriel lowers his head and remembers when he came here and played with his dad, Uriel goes to his desk and sees a picture of him at the age of 10 with Valerie and Daniel 8 years ago. Uriel grabs the photo and remembers his happy childhood.
"Do you remember that chair? You played with our dad and siblings all over the office. Everyone knew that when you arrived, Roberto would not work but rather play with his children."
Uriel remembers the times he was with his father, he gets angrier and says; "You bastard, why are you showing me this?"
"Because, for Roberto, you were his life, he loved his family so much that it made me envy. Do you remember why he chose that office?"
Uriel looks at the window, he begins to remember his father´s words; "Mijo, I chose this office because I can see my house from here, that way, I know that you are okay." Uriel walks and sees out the window; "It can´t be…"
Uriel sees the place where his house was, the neighborhood was demolished except his house. "Do you like it? I had your house rebuild for the time you returned, why not have a closer look?"
A portal opens below Uriel´s feet; Uriel gets transported to the living room of his old house. He begins to look that everything was intact just like he remembers it. He walks to the kitchen and remembers when his mother used to cook in her special apron that Uriel made. He walks at the couch and remembers his father getting angry because his team was losing. Uriel walks upstairs and sees Daniel´s room. He begins to remember the times he read books to a young Daniel. He goes to Valerie´s room and remembers the times he played house just to keep her sister happy. Uriel sees his parents' bedroom and remembers the times he saw them reading books and chatting. Finally, Uriel goes to his room and remembers the afternoons he spent playing with Alejandro, how he used to play videogames, with his action figures and soccer ball. Uriel touches his bed and remembers the day he had that nightmare that started it all.
Uriel begins to shed tears as he looks himself at the mirror, "You remember do you? Those happy days of your childhood. What would you say, if I can bring them back?"
"What the hell are you saying, you bastard" Uriel says with rage, "It´s simple really, join me and organization and we can bring back those happy days you spend alongside your family. Miracles do exists, and I can show you that, just come with me"
Uriel begins to remember his father´s last words; "Uriel, you are the head of the family now, please protect them. I´m going on a trip for a while but you need to be brave. No pornography please, you have to take care of your sister and brother who will follow your steps so please be discreet okay."
Uriel smiles and says; "You sure are stupid Darius, my father entrusted me with the future, I won't join you guys who are just thinking of the past, sure I had happy moments here, but I also had precious memories in other places and I will have them in the future. I am the head of the Di Fiore Family."
(BBBBBOOOOMMMM)
Uriel releases an enormous amount of manna and destroys the house completely, he takes a battle stance and with the help of the wind jumps and charges straight at the International Bank. In a blink of an eye, Uriel arrives at his father´s office; he swings his sword cutting the pillars and blowing the entire 20th and 21st floor away.
A portal opens and Darius comes out clapping; "Well done Uriel, I feel bad about this, I wanted for you to join us but it seems it wasn't possible."
"You toyed with my memories, and with my late father. I won't forgive you."
"You still care about him, but you are not a Vazquez anymore, you threw away his memento."
"You got it wrong, he asks us to change it in order to protect us, in fact, and he will always live inside my heart and memory. Prepare yourself Darius, I will take you down."
Darius snaps his fingers and begins to dispel the barrier. Darius unties his tie, he smiles and says; "Very well, it's time to finish Roberto´s legacy and get rid of the last obstacle of my plan, El Charro Negro or he Horseman of War."
Darius releases an enormous amount of manna causing the atmosphere to change color to a purple one leaving Uriel speechless as he think:
"What power, is he really human?"
"PREPARE YOURSELF URIEL!"
