Rio Grande City…
The fight between El Charro Negro and the Chupacabra ended with Uriel's victory…however…a new foe appeared in front of them…
"Greeting Charro Negro…I am El Muerto…it's a pleasure…" El Muerto stands in front of everyone.
"So you're the one behind the attacks ehh…" Uriel replies as he looks at El Muerto; "Indeed I am…but please…give me a second…"
He opens his palm and gathers mana creating a purple sphere. The Chupacabras comes out of the portal:
"You are trash, and no longer useful…be gone now… you filth"
El Muerto releases the sphere at the Chupacabras.
(BOOOOOOMMMMM)
A pillar of purple and black colored energy disintegrates the Chupacabras instantly. Alejandro sees it with horror the actions and begins to cry feeling furious:
"How could you? He might have been a beast, but you are the real monster!"
"You really are dumb, that filth was only a pawn of this game just like you and your girlfriend over there…"
Tiwa attacks El Muerto with rage but passes through him. El Muerto kicks Tiwa, sending her flying to the border of the building where he almost falls but hangs with one hand in the border.
"So weak, who's next"
El Muerto makes fun of her. At that moment Kasumi also tries to slash El Muerto but she passes through him as well. El Muerto grabs Kasumi´s legs and throws her straight at Uriel. Uriel sees Kasumi and catches her before she falls.
Both of them breathe heavily, Kasumi looks at Uriel:
"This guy is dangerous Uriel, plus I am out of energy and you?"
"Me too, I used it all against the monster" Uriel responds as he stands on one knee.
(BBBAADDUUMMPPP)
"So, Charro Negro or should I say Roberto's son...Show me your strength."
"How do you know that?"
"Simple, I am the one who killed him…"
(PPPUUUMMM)
Uriel with rage disappears from everyone's sight and appears in front of El Muerto. El Muerto takes out a sword and clashes with Uriel.
(SLASH SLASH SLASH)
Uriel continues to attack violently. Uriel attacks with force, El Muerto only defends.
"Shion, protect Alejandro…" Kasumi stands up.
"Right…" Shion stands next to Alejandro, Alejandro looks at Uriel thinking:
"This is not good, Uriel is blinded by rage…"
El Muerto pushes Uriel away, Uriel tries to charge but El Muerto escapes using a portal, he appears in the sky. El Muerto lifts his arm;"Begone…"
At that moment he releases a dark ball heading straight at Kasumi.
"SENPAI!!!" Shion screams as she looks with horror.
(BOOOOOOMMMMMM)
Kasumi opens her eyes and sees Uriel standing facing towards her; "Are you alright?"
Uriel begins to throw up blood causing Kasumi to panic; "URIEL!"
El Muerto claps slowly; "Splendid, that same attack killed the Chupacabras instantly, yet, you are standing with only bruises."
Kasumi removes her glasses, and in a blink of an eye she appears next to El Muerto.
(SSSLLLAASSHHHH)
Kasumi makes a cut on El Muerto's arm. El Muerto jumps back as blood falls from his arm; "It seems I let my guard down."
"Indeed you did? Unfortunately I failed...but next time, I won't…" Kasumi glares at El Muerto.
El Muerto chuckles; "I underestimated the Orange Pheasant of Yggdrasil"
El Muerto begins to disappear into a portal; "We will meet again Charro Negro be ready"
Kasumi hugs Uriel who is breathing heavily; "Thank God you are live, I was so worry"
"Don´t worry about it." Uriel replies exhausted as well.
"Senpai…" Shion hugs Kasumi.
"Uriel, are you alright…"Alejandro asks Uriel. Uriel looks at him and asks:
"Why are you worried? Not too long ago, I beat you up…"
Alejandro smiles and replies; "Well,it's because we are friends…" Uriel chuckles and replies; " You are a fool…"
"URIEL!" Fabiola runs and hugs him; "Uriel…are you okay?" Uriel grabs his hat; "I am…thank you for taking care of my hat…"
Fabiola looks around; "Is the monster?"
"He's gone…" Uriel replies, Fabiola begins to cry; "Then…Sister Melissa…"
"Her soul will be at peace…" Sister Carolina pats her head. Uriel sighs; "Well then…I guess…we will have to…"
Uriel falls into his knees.
"Uriel...what happened?" Alejandro and Fabiola look worried. Uriel breathes heavily; "I jsut used up too much mana…but I'm going to be fine…"
"I see...that's good…" Alejandro smiles, Tiwa stares at him thinking:
"El Charro Negro sure is dangerous...I must watch my back…"
Alejandro walks towards Kasumi; "Are you alright?"
"Yes, I am fine…" Kasumi smiles at him, Alejandro feels relieved; "Thank Goodness…"
(POOF)
At that moment Kasumi´s esper suit disappears leaving her naked. Alejandro looks at her with shock:
"HOLY…"
"GGGYYYYAAAHHHHH, DON´T LOOK YOU PERVERT" Kasumi screams of embarrassment as she slaps Alejandro who only says:
"SOORRRRYYYYY!!!"
******************************************************************************
A portal opens, El Muerto comes out on an ally. He bleeds from his left arm:
"Damn it, I thought she was already out of the play...I guess I was too overconfident…"
The hooded girl runs to his side; "What happened to the''Ales ``?''
"Unfortunately, El Charro Negro killed the Chupacabras, when I arrived at the scene, it was too late…"
The girl falls into her knees crying; "It can't be...why? Why did he kill him?"
El Muerto walks to her and pats her head; "I'm sorry, but that is just the way the Charro is…"
"But he is one of us? Why did he do that?"
"I don't know but this demonstrates that we need to take action and get our revenge against those sinners…"
The girl stops crying and stands up, her eyes turn yellow as she says with anger; "Those sinners will pay…"
*****************************************************************************
Marjorie opens her eyes as she looks around; "It appears everything has ended…"
"MARJORIE!" Victoria runs and hugs Marjorie; "We're safe…we're safe…"
"We are…" Marjorie hugs her back. Officer Rodriguez walks towards them; "I'm glad you're okay...we were really lucky…"
"Where is Alejandro?" Marjorie looks around. Victoria lowers her head; "Unfortunately, he ran off somewhere...we don't know where he went…"
"I see...What about Aleister?"
"Marjorie…" Aleister walks forward, unharmed and walking with confidence. Marjorie runs to his side:
" Aleister, where were you?"
"I was in the restroom…and then the police told me to evacuate…" Aleister hugs Marjorie; "I am glad that you are safe...I called your father and Charles is on its way…"
Marjorie blushes and hugs him back; "I'm also relieved that you are safe…"
Victoria looks up and sees the building; "What was that? The building disappeared in an instant after that strange light hit it. Plus...what did Alejandro do?"
"Hey hija, the boy with blue and green eyes goes to your school?" Officer Rodriguez asks Victoria.
"Yeah, but I don't know where he and the others went…"
"I understand…" Officer Rodriguez hugs his daughter as he thinks; "That boy...there is no mistake...he was the one who saved me the other night…"
**************************************************************************
At the base, Jairo stretches as he feels relaxed; "I can't believe we actually pull it off…"
"I know...having those kids on our side really brought benefits." Rosa puts her hand on his shoulder. Carlos and Chelsea also look at the screen:
"Damn it...I have to get stronger…"
Chelsea slaps his back; " Don't act so cliche...we will get stronger…"
This is Jairo reporting from the Borderland...Mission Completed…
In an office, Allan Carter along with a red haired woman look at the report; "Excellent...I knew they could pull it off…"
"Having El Charro Negro on our side will bring more benefits...don't you agee?" The woman with red hair comments; Allan nods in agreement:
"You're right...Yggdrasil isn't permitted to have more agents in the country but having people outside of Yggdrasil helps us take advantage as we look for the other golden keys."
Allan puts down the papers that have the name; The Legend of the Seven City of Gold
And so…the events of the final events ended with the death of the Chupacabras…and this was the first mission for the group that would change the history of the world…
******************************************************************************
February 6th; Mission of San Juan
After the battle ended…Uriel and the others returned to the Mission…however…due to his injuries…Uriel and Alejandro decided to leave for a couple of days…in order for Uriel to heal…
"Packing and unpacking sure is a pain…but fortunate for us…you can use your portals…" Alejandro finishes packing his stuff. Uriel, who has bandages in his body sighs with his eyes:
"Unfortunately…I used too much mana…so I can't use portals right not…"
"What…seriously?" Alejandro panics.
(KNOCK KNOCK)
"Hello boys…I am just checking on you…" Father Clemente enters the room; "How are you feeling?"
"I am doing better…but unfortunately…I must stay away from the holy…in order to gain my strength…"
"How ironic…" Father Clemente chuckles. He changes his tone to a serious one:
"I heard from Sister Carolina…our suspicions were true…El Muerto was the one in charge of the Chupacabras…"
"That's right…and he is strong…he is on a whole different level…" Uriel looks at him with anger. Father Clemente sighs with his eyes closed; "I knew it…he might be Darius Lucifugus himself…"
"I don't know about that…he looks like a different person…but we must keep investigating…"
Alejandro looks at Uriel; "Hey Uriel…he said that he killed your father…doesn't that make him…" Uriel shakes his head:
"No…he only wanted to provoke me…"
"I see…well then…you must become stronger boys if you want to defeat that man…" Father Clemente takes out a paper; "This is something that you should read. Uriel grabs it and reads it, after a few seconds, he opens his eyes wider:
"This is…"
"Uriel what's wrong?" Alejandro asks Uriel. Uriel destroys the paper; "When?"
"In about a couple of days…maybe sooner…" Father Clemente smiles, Uriel sighs with his eyes closed:
"I guess…I can't avoid them right?"
Alejandro looks confused; "Who?"
Uriel grabs his bags, Father Clemente stands up and bows his head:
"Words can't express my gratitude towards you…you protected my foolish daughter from that monster…I am forever in your debt…"
"She saved me…." Uriel replies; 'Where is she?"
"Grounded…she is sweeping the church…" Father Clemente replies, Uriel looks at Alejandro; "I'll be right back…"
"Man I hate you…" Alejandro chuckles as they walk outside, Father Clemente smiles; "Make sure you come back…"
"We will…" Alejandro waves at him.
******************************************************************************
Church…
Fabiola sweeps the church as part of her punishment for running off last night…
"I am such a fool…but at least you're resting in peace…right…Sister Melissa?" Fabiola sweeps as she looks at the altar; "Please forgive me Lord…I have committed a sin…"
"A sin huh…why are you asking for forgiveness…." Fabiola turns around and sees Uriel. Fabiola runs to his side:
"URIEL…YOU'RE ALRIGHT!"
"I am…thanks to you…" Uriel pats her head, Fabiola lowers her head; "That's not true…I was only a burden…I only did one good thing…but it was just luck…" Fabiola begins to cry:
"I always try to act mature and brave…but yesterday…I acted childish and afraid…"
"Don't beat yourself for that…you're not the only one who acted that way…." Uriel replies as he looks at the altar. Fabiola continues to cry:
"But I let my feelings for revenge take over…I acted without thought and I almost died because I was weak…"
"Then get stronger…" Fabiola hears those words and looks up; "Stronger?"
Uriel nods in agreement; "That's right…the monster is gone…those feelings of revenge are gone as well…that means you can now get stronger…to protect the people you care about…"
Fabiola looks surprised; "The people I care about?" Uriel nods in agreement; "That's right…my old friend always told me that the lord chose you to become the protector of the weak…"
Fabiola turns around to see the altar, she smiles; "You're right…I want to protect my sisters…and everyone here…including you…"
"You will…" Uriel turns around; "I have to go…but I will return soon…" Fabiola hugs him from the back as she cries:
"Thank you…thank you…I promise that I won't be a burden next time…no…I will be stronger…I promise…"
"Good to hear…" Uriel continues to walk.
Alejandro and Uriel decided to leave the Mission…and head to Alejandro's apartment…in order for Uriel to heal…

Sun City; Sun City International Highschool
The next day, after the attack of the Chupacabras, the news headlines were altered as they say:
"FUEGO DESTROZA RESTAURANTE" (FIRE DESTROYS RESTAURANT)
Due to this attack, the students of both cities were given two days off as the cities, however, the Student Council continues to work hard… It's 3pm on Sun City International High School
"Aww man, I'm so tired…" Victoria comments as they fill out paperworks.
Marjorie looks at Victoria and comments; "I'm sorry that you had to come, everyone, but if we want to get Valentine's week going, we must fill out those papers. Victoria, I know that you want that dance to happen right?"
Victoria puffs her cheeks; "Alright, alright...I get it…"
Angela looks at Marjorie and asks; "Hey Marjorie, you mentioned that you saw Alejandro right? Is he okay?"
Marjorie doesn't respond at first, she makes a fake smile and replies:
"To be honest, I can't remember if I saw him or not…"
"Oh, I see.." Angela looks down. Marjorie panics; "But I know he's alright…don't worry…I'm sure he will show up eventually…"
"I know…but I am worried…I think I will send him a text to see if he's alright…" Angela takes out her phone.
"So…how did the fire start?" Raul asks Victoria, Victoria chuckles; "Well…a stupid cook forgot to turn off the stove…and then…everything went boom…right Marjorie?"
"Y-Y-Yeah…that's what happened…'
Both of them laugh nervously as they look at eachother.
Aleister, Marjorie and Victoria agreed that they would not speak about the events that happened last night to avoid any other responses…
"Well now, the annual contest of the "King and Queen of the Valentines Dance" will open up next week...and I have someone in mind to nominate…"
Aleister smiles as he stands up and walks towards the board and writes a name.
"No way…why him?" Victoria looks with disgust.
"Aleister, why?" Marjorie looks shocked.
"Seriously? Him? Why?"Raul and Angela look at Aleister with confusion.
Aleister smiles as he walks towards the window; "Because we need to make things interesting….and I know that he will be a very interesting candidate…"
*************************************************************************
Sun City Mayor's Office
At the Mayor's office…Darius and Olivia were having an important conversation…
Darius and Olivia have tea in the mayor's office; "Well dear…I take it "he" is on the move right?"
"Indeed…the "King" won't stay with his arms crossed…I'm sure he will make a move soon…"
"And…are you going to let him?" Olivia asks Darius, Darius chuckles; "Of course…we must have some excitement now and then…I'm sure he will be a great puppet…"
(BBBOOOMMM)
"DARIUS!"
Suddenly a door opens and it´s Nathaniel who looks furious and exclaims:
"What was the meaning of the attack last night? Are you trying to kill me?"
"Nathaniel…have a seat and drink some tea…" Olivia offers him some tea, Nathaniel refuses:
"DARIUS…WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT? I HAD TO FLEE FOR MY LIFE!"
"Now that was hilarious…who knew that the monster would turn against our will and attacked you…" Darius replies calmly and drinks from his tea. Darius gets angrier and screams:
"Don´t play dumb, El Muerto knew I was there, in fact I know he ordered that monster to attack me."
Darius stands up and look at Nathaniel in the eye:
"Well Nathaniel just remember who you are speaking to, show some respect, my wife is here, that was an accident but next time it won't . Remember that you work for me… idiot!"
Nathaniel steps back speechless. He begins to leave:
"Well don't repeat it, my son was there as well."
As soon as Nathaniel leaves, Olivia begins to laugh:
"WHAT AN IDIOT!"
"Getting back to the subject, I heard that our son is doing perfect on his grades, am I correct?" Darius sits at his desk.
"You are correct dear, our son is a genius that colleges want him to study everywhere, even in Europe" Olivia replies as she drinks tea.
"Excellent, I heard that there was an offer for him right?" Darius asks Olivia, Olivia nods in agreement:
"Well it just happened that we have an opening for our son to travel away but will he agree to it?."
"He will…if that offer is from Romania right? I have a good hunch my dear." Darius replies with a smile.
"Alright if you say so, I'll send him..." Olivia prepares to leave.
"Now then, I have the identities of the members of Yggdrasil here…" Darius throws six pictures on the table revealing the faces of everyone of Yggdrasil.
"I see, so what should I do about it?"
"Nothing, let's just see how things will play out? Remember that El Muerto is the one that will control the situation…"
"I understand, I will keep an eye on them…"
"Hold on there is one more person I would like you to observe as well." Darius shows a picture of Johanna to Olivia. Olivia looks at the picture confused:
"Why her, she is just a nurse?"
"She is not just a nurse, she is a danger to us but she might be an asset if we play the cards right"
"Alright...what about the keys...do you have any leads?"
"Yes...in fact, that boy...Alejandro has one on his hand…" Darius shows her a picture to Olivia.
"Ahhh, that kid that Aleister refers to as a loser…"
"When the time comes, his key will be retrieved…" Darius says to Olivia. Olivia leaves the office and both of them say at the same time:
"We are Enlightened"
She opens the door and a young boy with spiky gray hair enters the room.Olivia looks at him surprised:
"I see, so you wanted him to return...It's a pleasure to see you again?"
"The pleasure is mine…Ms. Lucifugus…if you excuse me…"
"My what a gentleman…" Olivia chuckles as she closes the door.
Darius stands up with joy; "Ahh, Ian...how was Romania?"
"It was a pretty interesting uncle...however, I got bored of the flavors...thank you for calling me…"
"I wanted you to come, because I have a special assignment for you…"
Ian sits on the couch in a relaxed manner as he grabs from of the cookies in the table:
"Perfect, and I hope you will let me have fun here?"
"Of course...you have an interesting mission…just don't go overboard…"
The boy smiles revealing fangs in his mouth; "I can't guarantee that…"
******************************************************************************
Meanwhile, at Yggdrasil's secret base….
A portal opens in the secret hide out…Uriel and Alejandro enter the hideout….
Uriel and Alejandro go to the main room where the screens are located. Tiwa is also in the room with bandages as well.
"Hey Uriel, how are you feeling?" Tiwa asks uriel, Uriel looks at his arm and replies:
"I'm doing well, but it seems that you are not…"
"Oh shut up…I just had a distraction…nothing more…" Tiwa looks away embarrassed.
Uriel looks at Kasumi and asks; "How are you feeling Kasumi?"
Kasumi blushes and stand behind Shion:
"I-I-I'm doing great...thank you…you are the one who took damage"
"It will take a couple of days for me to heal, I need to stay away from the Mission in order to heal faster…"
"Hey you could stay at my apartment…" Kasumi suggests with a shy voice. Carlos burst with jealousy; "DAMN THAT BASTARD!"
"Sorry, but no...I already have a place to stay...in fact I already moved my stuff towards that place…"
"Oh, I see…" Kasumi looks disappointed. Rosa chuckles:
"Kasumi, that was so bold of you…"
Kasumi stands up and bows his head:
"Uriel Di Fiore, you have our thanks...for last night...that goes for Alejandro and Tiwa…"
Alejandro and Tiwa blush; "I-I-It was nothing…just my job…"
Uriel sighs with his eyes closed; "I only did it because it was my mission, that's all…"
Kasumi looks at Uriel with doubt and asks:
"Uriel, what is your mission?"
Uriel notices that everyone is looking at him:
"A long time ago, I made the decision to hunt down every last Sombra...I know that I am El Charro Negro, but I won't follow my master's ways…I made a promise for "them"…"
Uriel looks at his hand and says; "I will follow my own ideals, that's my answer…"
"Wow he is so dreamy…" Chelsea's face turns red.
Uriel looks at Alejandro who tries to hide his arm; "Now then, Alejandro, judging from the manna your hand is emitting, I guess you used it right?"
Alejandro looks down; "Yes, I did…"
Alejandro shows his arm, his arm has black veins growing. Uriel opens his eyes wider, Shion walks forward and begins to explain:
"Judging from the way the veins grow, we have determined that the key is poisoning Alejandro. Everytime he uses it, the poison will spread from his body."
"I understand that, that's why Father Clemente and Sister Carolina made that black cloak to wrap it around, to stop the spreading…"
Alejandro looks worried, Tiwa then asks:
"So, how much time does he have before the poison reaches his heart?"
Shion looks serious; "If the poison that the key releases reaches his heart, he will die. Judging by the speed that he has, I'd say he has 6 months…"
The room is silent after hearing the news. Alejanro looks at his arm thinking:
"Six months ehh…"
Tiwa touches his hand; "Hey, don't worry, we will find a way to get that key out…"
"Aww, young love, I feel jealous…" Rosa says to them. They look away feeling embarrassed.
The tension breaks as everyone, except Uriel, chuckles.
"Very well, I think it's time to talk seriously...Uriel...please join Yggdrasil...we could use people like you on our team…"
Kasumi makes a request, everyone is left speechless.
"I refuse.." Uriel answers quickly leaving everyone in shock. Kasumi looks disappointed:
"But why?"
"Simple, I am an evil being that is on your wanted list, am I wrong?"
Everyone from Yggdrasil remains quiet. Uriel makes a smirk:
"I thought so...I am better off on my own...besides I am already part of the Historical Research Association …"
Alejandro and Tiwa smile.
"That's right...Uriel is part of our club now!" Alejandro and Tiwa walk to Uriel's side as both of them say; "We are part of his group remember…"
"You sure are dumb you know that?" Carlos says as he feels enraged and jealous thinking;
"Damn it, Senpai never asks me to join and yet, he refused?"
"I understand, then let's form an alliance then." Kasumi suggests that to Uriel.
"We of Yggdrasil need people like you to be on our side. The Kage in this region are strong, not to mention El Muerto and people like Darius Lucifugus...So please help us out until we defeat them…"
Uriel closes his eyes to think, he opens it and replies:
"My mission is to kill Darius Lucifugus. I don't know what your true objectives are but we share a common goal and that is to defeat the Sombras in this region…"
Kasumi extends her hands; "So do we have a deal? I promise that we won't betray you and that we will work together to stop the evils in this region…"
Uriel looks at Alejandro and Tiwa who nod in agreement. Uriel shakes her hand:
"Very well, make Carlos and Chelsea join our club and we have a deal…"
"We have a deal…" Kasumi immediately replies.
"HELL YEAH WE HAVE NEW MEMBERS!" Alejandro shouts with excitement.
"HEY!!!" Carlos and Chelsea react surprised.
"Our club needs members and if we form an alliance now, you will have to be part of our club…"
"Senpai, these guys are losers please…" Kasumi smiles as a red aura comes out of her.
Both of them get nervous as they reply; "We agree to join your club…"
"ALRIGHT, NOW THE HISTOREA ALLIANCE IS COMPLETE!" Tiwa screams with excitement.
"HISTOREA?" Carlos asks Tiwa.
"Yeah, Historical Research Association is way too long...HISTOREA is better…"
"That makes sense…" Chelsea comments, nodding her head. Kasumi chuckles and replies:
"Good, from now on, we are the HISTOREA Alliance…"
Uriel looks at them as he remembers the words that his mother said the last time he saw her:
"Uriel, even though you are alone...I guarantee that you will find comrades you will depend on whether you like it or not…"
"It's as you said mother, I now have comrades and I must say…" Uriel looks at Alejandro and Tiwa making makes a little smile:
"I must say that they are annoying…"
A surprising alliance was formed on that day. Uriel, Alejandro and Tiwa decided to work together with Yggdrasil forming the HISTOREA Alliance...This Alliance will play a major role in the events that will unfold in the future….
