January 21st; Sun City International High school
Another normal day of school, it's morning and the students walk peacefully towards their daily classes without noticing the monsters named "Sombras" attacking the cities at night. Everything looks fine, however, things are about to change with a sudden turn of events:
"ALEISTER!"
Alejandro screams as he walks towards the student council room. He has a piece of paper in his hand that he holds with force. The other students look at him as he walks with anger.
"Look,isn't that the weirdo? Why is he heading towards Aleister?I want to see..."
Uriel walks down the hallway as he watches Alejandro pass right beside him. He keeps looking at him and decides to see what happened.
Alejandro sees Aleister who is coming out of the Student Council room.
"ALEISTER!" Alejandro comes closer, Aleister act as normal:
"Alejandro please, no shouting in the hallway…"
"Cut the crap...why did you do this?"
Alejandro shows a paper that was in the SIS room:
[Notice:
Due to the insufficient members, the club known as the Supernatural Investigation Society is considered terminated…
signed by:
Student Council President
Aleister Lucifugus]
Alejandro grabs the paper with force; "Why are you terminating our club, we have three members, this isn't right…"
Aleister smiles calmly; "Oh, didn't Marjorie tell you that she is quitting the club?"
Alejandro looks at him with shock; "NO…THAT'S A LIE!!"
"Oh is it? Alejandro, let's be honest here...Marjorie was only there because she feels petty…"
-TCH- Alejandro walks forward and grabs Aleister's shirt neck; "What did you say?"
Aleister acts like the victim; "Alejandro…stop…"
"Why are you doing this to me? I haven't done anything wrong…"
"The SIS is just a waste of school fundings, and it has no value over our prestigious school...am I right?"
Aleister speaks on his ear; "Marjorie said that she would leave because she got tired of your bullshit…"
"You bastard, you made her do this with those words...what did you tell her?"
"I didn't tell her anything Alejandro, she decided on her own free will…"
Aleister chuckles; "Alejandro, you must accept that Marjorie chose me and not you...you must stop believing that you have a chance with her because you don't. .."
(BADUMP BADUMP)
Alejandro breathes heavily; "You liar, Marjorie is only my friend, you did this because you were jealous that we spent time together…"
Aleister laughs, he gets closer to Alejandro and talks in his ear:
"Why would I be jealous of a loser who spends his time chasing after imaginary things…"
"..." Alejandro is speechless as Aleister continues to speak:
"I know that you love Marjorie, but know this…she could never love someone like you...you're just an immature kid who lives in a fantasy world...remember that she chose me….and that's why you are all alone..."
"WHY YOU!"
(PUUUUUMM)
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Alejandro punches Aleister's face. Aleister falls to the ground, leaving everyone with their mouths open.
Aleister bleeds from his mouth; "W-W-Why?"
"Not bad…"Uriel smiles as he sees Alejandro's actions. Tiwa watches from different point is also surprised at what Alejandro did; "Oh wow…he hit the student council president…"
"ALEISTER!!" Marjorie runs directly towards Aleister:
"Are you alright?"
"Y-Y-Yes, I'm fine…" Aleister acts like he is severely hurt. Marjorie turns to see Alejandro:
"Alejandro, why did you punch him?"
"Marjorie I…"
Aleister interrupts Alejandro:
"I can explain, you see he got mad at me because I told him you were leaving his club and that the SIS was going to be disbanded…"
"You damn liar..." Alejandro charges once again. Marjorie steps forward with her arms extended:
"That's enough, please you're scaring me…"
Alejandro comes to his senses and notices everyone glaring at him and seeing him with disapproval .
"Marjorie…" Alejandro lowers his head.
"Please just stop..." Marjorie with tears in her eyes asks once again:
"Please Alejandro."
Suddenly, the principal Olivia Lucifugus appears behind him:
"Mr. Sanchez, please step into my office, immediately..."
Alejandro looks at her with fear, Olivia looks at him with scorn; "You're in big trouble…"
Alejandro lowers his head; "I understand…" Alejandro leaves with Olivia to her office.
Marjorie sees Aleister who smiles at her saying:
"I'm alright don't worry..."
She looks at Alejandro with a worried expression thinking; "Alejandro, what happened to you?"
"That guy has guts...Excellent..." Uriel walks away as well with a smile on his face.
*************************************************************************
Later that day…
The attack on Aleister brought consequences to Alejandro, first he was suspended for a week due to assaulting the president of the Student council…
Second, the Supernatural Investigation Society was terminated thanks to the lack of members.
Third, Alejandro now has a negative record costing him the loss of his scholarship...
As for Alejandro himself, he still has another issue to deal with....
Alejandro walks slowly towards the exit, he has a suspension form as everyone looks at him with hate. Students talks behind his back:
"Hey it's the weirdo…
Yeah…he punched the president…now he has a suspension…
Serves him right…I hope he never comes back…"
-TCH- "Those idiot…they don't know what is really going on…" Alejandro glares at them feeling hate.
"Alejandro..." Kasumi stands in front of him. Alejandro notices her upset; "Ms. Miyazono…I-I-I…"
"Come to my classroom now…"
"Yes ma'am"
Kasumi and Alejandro went to her classroom to talk…
Kasumi looks at him disappointed:
"What happened Alejandro? Why did you punch Aleister?"
"..." Alejandro avoids looking at her and doesn't respond. Kasumi sighs with her eyes closed:
"Look, you should be thankful you didn't get expelled, I had to convince Principal Lucifugus to keep you here because you are a genius..."
Alejandro looks down; "I'm sorry, I know I did wrong but he..."
"Stop Alejandro, there is no excuse for violence... you will go pick up your stuff in the SIS room and you will head home…"
"Yes…ma'am…" Alejandro stands up and heads to the door.
"Wait…" Kasumi gives him a sheet of paper; "Here is a copy of the work, I will stop by and give you work everyday so you won't fall behind..."
"Thank you teacher...I'm sorry for causing you trouble..."
Alejandro grabs his bag, Kasumi hugs him tightly. Alejandro blushes; "Ahh…teacher?"
"Alejandro…I know that right now…you feel as if you're drowning…I can see in your eyes…but remember that you're not alone…you have me…"
Tears come out of his eyes; "Thank you…Ms. Miyazono…"
*************************************************************************
As he walks by, Alejandro thinks about Aleister's words:
"I know that you love Marjorie, but know this, she could never love someone like you...you're just an immature kid...remember that she chose me….and that's why you are all alone..."
Alejandro shakes his head and thinks; "No, he is lying, and I'm going to prove it, I'll ask her directly..."
Alejandro passes by a classroom and hears a familiar voice:
"You got it wrong.."
Alejandro carefully takes a look and sees Marjorie with two other classmates; "That's Marjorie, but what is she talking about..."
One of the girls speaks to her; "Marjorie, why do you talk to the weirdo? He punched your boyfriend...you should avoid him..."
"Yeah, like, he is an obsessive person, you should totally ditch him..." The other girl says to Marjorie, Majorie shakes her head and replies:
"You got it wrong, he is a good guy... And we've been friends for a long time..."
"Tell us the truth...do you like Alejandro?"
(BBBAAADDUUMMMPPP)
Alejandro's heart skips a beat as he wants to hear Marjorie's answer.
Marjorie holds her arm and lowers he head:
"To be honest...No...I don't like him...I just wanted him to be happy..."
"So you don't like him...so why?"
"I guess I felt petty...he always seemed so lonely and that's why I....I always wanted everyone to be happy...Alejandro is someone special to me...but it's just that...I like him as a friend but nothing else...."
The two girls stare with their eyes wide open; "Uh-Oh"
Marjorie notices that someone is standing in the door. She turns around and sees Alejandro. He stands there looking down:
"So, you only pitied me..."
"No, wait Alejandro, you got it wrong..."
Alejandro runs away with tears in his eyes. Marjorie goes after him; "ALEJANDRO WAIT...."
The girls in the classroom fall unconscious as Aleister appears from the shadows:
"Good job, my puppets..."
Tiwa walks down the hallway as she sees Alejandro pass by her with tears in her eyes; "Was that?"
"ALEJANDRO!" Marjorie passes by her as well. -TCH- Tiwa gets angry; "I guess I should check on him…"
*************************************************************************
"Ha…ha…ha…" Alejandro arrives at the club room, Marjorie is right behind him:
"Alejandro, wait, you got it all wrong…"
"No I don't, I am not stupid...I really thought you were my friend…" Marjorie notices his desperate look. Marjorie lowers her head:
"But I am….it's just that…"
"Stop it...stop lying please ...you and the others think I'm crazy...only because I want to know what happened 5 years ago...what happened to our friend Uriel…"
Alejandro grabs his chest; "You think I don't have feelings? Well I do and it hurts to learn the damn truth, that the person I thought of as my only friend… only takes pity on me…"
Marjorie is left speechless, Alejandro continues to speak:
"Oh, I bet Aleister and you planned all of it…"
"What?" Marjorie changes her expression as Alejandro continues to speak:
"That's right, I bet you two decided that it was fun to play with me...to make me believe that you were my friend...he did it right...he did all of this because he has always hated me…you think that he wants to be my friend?"
"Alejandro…." Marjorie begins to get angry.
"His bodyguards always beat me up under his orders because I talk to you….don't you think it's strange that I always have bandages? I bet you're also enjoying this...that's right, you and Aleister are…"
(SSLLLAAPPP)
Marjorie slaps Alejandro with force, Alejandro falls to his back. He looks up and notices Marjorie with tears in her eyes, she has an angry expression and begins to speak:
"Just shut up…you don't know anything about Aleister or me...he's a kind person, he would never do that ...you know why you don't have any friends?"
Marjorie points at Alejandro; "Because you're a selfish person...you don't care what others think and you blame others for your mistakes...Aleister always wanted to be friends with you but you never gave him a chance…"
Marjorie continues to speak:
"You're so selfish that all you can think about is the supernatural stuff, I tried to understand why but this isn't right...something is wrong with you...you are too hung up in the past…"
Marjorie sheds tears; "Alejandro forget about the past, forget about Uriel...can't you see that you are hurting people like Victoria who lost both of her parents that night...we want to forget...please just come with me and apologize to Aleister…"
Marjorie extends her hand and smiles; "Come now Alejandro, I know that you will be happy with us, just take my hand."
(SLAP)
Alejandro stands up and refuses to grab Marjorie's hand:
"I see that you've chosen Aleister…I'd rather be alone than be with someone who wants me dead...I guess this is goodbye… So long Marjorie, we will continue seeing each other in school but you are no longer my friend, in fact, you never were…"
Marjorie lowers her hand and sees Alejandro avoiding her eyes, she lowers her head and turns around:
"Alejandro, you are the only one who is blind…I didn't want to believe Aleister at first but now I see that he was right...Goodbye…"
Marjorie walks away, Alejandro cries as he feels that he lost a part of his life. He enters the room and sees Raul who is packing.
"Wow, that was intense Alejandro."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm done here…the only reason I was here was because I needed a club to be part of...now the Student Council President invited me to be the historian of the student council...and I accepted…"
"So you're joining Aleister as well huh...you traitor, just leave now, you are no longer my friend either.."
Raul grabs his bag and walks to the door, as he passes next to Alejandro:
"You're mistaking our relationship, the truth is...we were never friends to begin with…"
Raul leaves, shutting the door. Alejandro, feeling betrayed and with rage, begins to throw stuff around.
(PUM PUM PUM)
He destroys the posters and rips the papers as he screams:
"DDDAAAAMMMMNNNN IIIIITTTTT"
Marjorie walks by wiping away the tears off her eyes, she doesn't look where she is going and bumps into a girl:
"Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking..."
Marjorie sees that the girl she bumps into was Tiwa. She tries to be friendly:
"Oh, Tiwa was it? I have you for Chemistry right? I..."
"Marjorie Bellerose, I must warn you, the only one who is blind is you...I pity those who choose to be blinded by the truth..."
"Wait, what are you talking about?"
Tiwa begins to walk away as she answers; "That innocent act and that naive personality will one day be your demise...as I know what you really are…"
Marjorie is left standing not knowing what happened, she begins to walk away once again thinking about Tiwa's words.
Aleister wearing a bandaid on his cheek walks towards Marjorie, she runs and hugs him:
"You were right all along, sorry for doubting you..."
"It's okay dear, you know I will always be there for you..."
Aleister hugs her tightly, Marjorie has a calm expression and Alesiter has a sinister smile on his face:
"Come on, let's go eat something..."
*************************************************************************
Alejandro sits on the corner of the destroyed room…
"What happened to me? What happened to this club?" Alejandro looks at the room:
"It used to be filled with many people…here…" Alejandro remembers conversations:
"Hey can I join?
I really like to investigate Vampires…
I want to know what Area 51 is like…"
Alejandro looks at the window; "It was so lively…and everyone wanted to participate…then one day…people started leaving for no reason…"
"This club is lame…such a waste of time…
You're such a lame person…
I don't want to be part of this anymore…"
"I bet it was Aleister…I bet he…" Alejandro remembers Marjorie's words. He lies down thinking:
"Maybe she's right…Maybe I am just blaming everything on him…maybe I should just apologize…"
"I may be better off…dead…nobody cares about me…everyone is right…I am a loser…"
(BADUMP)
Alejandro's left hand hurts; "This pain…ph yeah…I found it in his house…" Suddenly, he remembers his mission, that's right…I have a purpose…I am not crazy…he really exists…Uriel…and my purpose is to find him…"
Alejandro notices the sun is setting as he looks at the clock; "It's almost time for my shift...I better..."
Alejandro looks at the newspaper:
"La Bestia ataca de nuevo..." (The Beast attacks again...)
"That's right, I almost forgot my mission...I decided to investigate the attacks on Rio Grande City..."
Alejandro becomes optimistic once again and runs towards the door.
(PUUUMM)
Alejandro opens it with force and runs towards his job as he screams:
"I WON'T GIVE UP!"
The door closes and Tiwa is on the other side. She was squished the moment Alejandro ran. Tiwa rubs her nose:
"Ouch, that idiot, I was going to talk to him..."
"HAHAHAHA THAT WAS HILARIOUS" Suma the owl laughs at Tiwa, Tiwa begins to strangle him.
"What's so funny, you stupid chicken..."
"N-n-nothing, I'm sorry..."
Tiwa sighs with her eyes closed; "Now what?I was going to join the club but he got suspended..."
Tiwa begins to walk away; "Maybe next time..."
Tiwa looks at the room that is a disaster; "Man this is a disaster but I need a club, so might as well clean..."
Tiwa cleans the room with the help of her spirits. Kasumi is looking at her without Tiwa noticing she smiles and thinks:
"Alejandro, maybe there are people who are as crazy as you in the world..."
*************************************************************************
Rio Grande City…
Rio Grande City, the other half of the twin cities, is the northern border of Mexico. A city rich in history and tradition who shares close relationships with Sun City.
Two hours later, it's around 6 in the afternoon and the sun is beginning to set. Uriel walks in the streets of Rio Grande City.
Uriel walks along the North Eastern part of the city, this sector is quite humble and some of the buildings are old and rusty.
"Oh wow, this place sure looks familiar. I can't remember quite well but I think I used to come here every weekend…"
Uriel takes out a piece of paper that has the address:
0726 Calle La Fe (La Fe Street)
"That viejo told me that when I arrived in the Borderland, I should visit this place...I wonder why…"
As Uriel walks down the street he notices that there is no one outside. He notices people are inside their houses looking from their windows.
"That's strange, I know it's cold but it isn't freezing…"
Uriel stops and sees the cloudy sky; "This city has some sinister mana, almost as sinister as mine..."
Uriel continues to walk, leaves the residential area and heads uphill, at the top of a hill, one the oldest church stands, the church is surrounded by a barrier. The church has several buildings aside from the church itself.
There is a sign that says:
"Misión de San Juan" (Mission of San Juan)
"I see…a barrier…probably to scare the Sombras from this place…I wonder who put it here…." Uriel touches the barrier.
(BBBAAADDDUUUMMMPPP)
"We have a visitor…and he's strong…" A woman wearing a nun's attire enters Father Clemente's office. Father Clemente stands up:
"Thank you Sister Carolina…I also noticed his presence…"
"Should I go and stop him father?"
"No…I am actually expecting that young man…" Father Clemente stands up and walks to the door:
"Let's go and greet our young guest…"
"There is someone outside, sister...he looks scary..."
A girl wearing a nun's attire says to another one with blonde hair. The girl stands up from her bed and begins to run:
"Leave this to me...."
"Wait sister...." The young girl tries to stop her.
After a few minutes, Uriel decides to pass through:
"This barrier is weak…I wonder if they are even trying…"
"Hold it right there...."
Uriel senses an object heading his way, he dodges it with ease.
(BBBBBOOOMMMM)
Uriel notices that the object is a white lance:
"Oh…a lance…then one of the members of the Order is here…"
The lance moves and returns to the owner's hand; "EVIL BEING…YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
Uriel looks up and sees a girl wearing a nun's attire consisting of a long skirt and a veil on her head. The girl jumps down screaming:
"INTRUDERS ARE NOT WELCOME!"
(PPPPPUUUMMM)
The girl slips and falls on her back; "Ouch, that hurt!"
The girl rubs her lower back. She has blonde hair and dark blue eyes. Uriel sighs; "Sorry, but I don't have time to play around..."
-TCH-The girl swings her lance at Uriel but he dodges it with ease:
"I TOLD YOU, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME...I, FABIOLA WILL STOP..."
Fabiola notices that Uriel disappears from her sight.
"Where did he..."
"Too slow..."
Uriel pokes her forehead. Fabiola gets angry and begins to attack him with multiple attempts; "Young girl…you have to try harder…"
"SHUT UP…I WILL GET YOU!" Fabiola tries to hit him, Uriel dodges the attacks with ease; "Sorry…but you will never hit me…"
Uriel jumps back, Fabiola smiles and screams:
"ABRIL, MARIANA, NOW DO IT!"
Uriel lands in a circle, he notices two girls from opposite directions pulling a chain. The chain wraps Uriel tightly:
"This chain has a spell on it, to weaken me..."
"WE DID IT!" The girls scream with excitement, Fabiola points her lance at him:
"You are bound by a holy spell that weakens the evil beings like you...Your mana is weak but sinister, now give up and let yourself get purified..."
Uriel smiles at her; "Impressive, you girls are really trained, this chain could kill a Sombra"
"That's right, and now it will defeat you..." Fabiola shows confidence with an overconfident smile. Uriel smiles; "Well, too bad for you..."
(PPPPUUMMMM)
Uriel releases a small amount of mana in the shape of red aura destroying parts of the chain.
(GGGGYYYAAHHHHH)
He pulls the chain and uses it to wrap the two girls up:
"Sorry, but I am not a Sombra or a demon..."
"How could this be..." Fabiola has a face full of uncertainty.The girls are tied up with the chain, Uriel pats one of them saying:
"That was a good job but next time, try to focus mana on your feet okay..."
The girls blush and nervously reply; "O-O-Okay…"
"DON'T MAKE FUN OF US" Fabiola gathers mana on her lance and chants:
"Florece, Lanza de Santa Ines" ( Bloom, Lance of Saint Ines)
The lance releases a pink aura, Fabiola jumps in the air and throws the lance directly at Uriel.
"Watch out mister..." The girls scream at Uriel.
Uriel turns around and catches the lance with his right hand, creating a massive wind current. Uriel catches the lance with no effort at all.
"No way..." Fabiola looks surprised, Uriel walks towards her and hands the lance over to her. Fabiola is confused,Uriel pats her head:
"That was a powerful technique, it reminds me of my mother's lance"
"Your mother?"
"What's the meaning of this..." A nun comes out of the church along with Father Clemente.
"It can't be...you're Uriel..."Father Clemente looks at him with a surprised expression. The nun sees him surprised and asks:
"Uriel? You mean the guest you were waiting for is actually...Maria's son?"
Uriel looks at both of them and presents himself:
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I am Uriel Di Fiore..."
*************************************************************************
Sun City; Kasumi's Apartment
The sun is setting, and Kasumi Miyazono decided to take a shower after her school day. As she her shower, Kasumi begins to think:
"I can't believe that he is alive, but according to Shion, he isn't the same person."
Kasumi lowers her head and remembers her master, she looks up and makes a fist saying:
"I know he looks like my master…I wonder if he has some connections with him? If so…maybe my master is alive...I must ask him directly...yeah, that's what I'm going to do..."
(RRRRRIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGG)
Kasumi hears her phone, she turns off the shower and as she tries to get out of her tub; "Oh the phone…I better…"
Kasumi is very clumsy without her glasses. She takes a false step and falls.
(BBBBOOOOOOMMM)
"Ouch! Where are my glasses!" She reaches the sink and gets them. Kasumi runs to the phone and answers it:
"Hello?"
"What's going on, Kasumi? Did you fall from the shower again?"
A man on the phone asks her. Kasumi's face then turns red of embarrassment as she answers:
"N-N-No! What do you need, Carter?"
"Oh nothing, I just wanted to know what you were wearing." Carter asks Kasumi. Kasumi notices that she is naked and "smoke" begins to come out of her head as she answer:
"That's none of your concern"
Carter laughs and replies:
"I bet you're just wearing a towel ehh."
Kasumi gets into her knees of embarrassment and replies:
"N-N-No"
"Hahaha…you're so easy to read…my young pupil…"
"Stop teasing me…Carter…you're the director…act like one…"
"Anyway back to business, you have a date tonight with a monster, so put on your best attire, Kasumi."
Kasumi making her put a serious face and replies:
"It's tonight; well it's time to stop that monster."
"Good luck…"
The man on the phone hangs up. Kasumi puts her glasses on and looks at the mirror. She looks at her arm where a symbol also appears.
The symbol is glowing orange, it has a small circle and two curved lines surrounding the forearm. Kasumi thinks to herself:
"I'm ready."
(KNOCK KNOCK)
"Who is it?"
Kasumi opens the door and a robust woman enters crying:
"Kasumi, it's terrible..."
"Rosa-san,what happened"
Rosa gives her a note from Alejandro:
"Rosa, I went to Rio Grande City, I'll be back in the morning..."
"Don't tell me he is going to search for the monster..." Kasumi hurries and dresses up, she begins to run as Rosa screams:
"Please bring him back Kasumi-dear!"
"I will…"
*************************************************************************
Rio Grande City…
In a restaurant located near the Northern part of Rio Grande City...
At a local food stand, located near the northern part of Rio Grande City, Alejandro finished eating a torta de bistec (Steak Torta):
"Gracias por la comida señor…." (Thank for the food mister)
The owner waves at Alejandro:
"Cuidate niño, los monstruos aparecen de noche" (Take care kid, monsters appear at night)
Alejandro walks down the street. He has his camera and cell phone ready:
"Now then, time to get some proof and clean the name of the SIS..."
Alejandro heads towards the Northwest of the city with excitement.
"I hope you're ready…" At the top of one of the highest buildings in Rio Grande City, the man with the skeleton mask and the girl with a black robe stand as they look down on the city.
"We are…the "Ales" is ready to hunt once more…"
"Ales? that creature has another name…I believe people call it the CH…"
"Stop…that name is an insult…" The girl gets angry and makes a purple aura visible. The man with the skeleton mask chuckles:
"I understand…very well…time to call your friend…"
The girl walks forward and takes out a flute; "Ven aqui…Ales" (Come here, Ales.)
-♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫-
The girl plays her flute, the sound produced is impossible for humans to hear, however, for the monster.
(RAAAAAWWWWW)
The beast extends its wings and begins to fly towards the Rio Grande City , it heads in the direction of the man with the skeleton mask:
"Excellent, it's time for the hunt to begin…"
