Inside the Volcano…

The group managed to reach the center of the volcano…The group began to move according to the plan…Meanwhile, El Muerto began to move…

“I will begin with the ritual to summon the Golden key…the Aztec Gods are keeping our visitors busy…I have the golems guarding the prisoners…I will expect your help, Ms. Alexa…”

El Muerto heads to the altar, Alexa sits on top of a rock looking at her phone; “You’re not my boss…and like, I’ll do what I want okay…Go do your ritual or whatever…”

“Ms. Alexa, keep in mind that I will be focusing all my attention on this ritual…if you could please lend a hand when I need it…”

Alexa rolls her eyes, acting disappointed; “Very well…I guess I could help…” Alexa continues to text on her phone. El Muerto walks to the altar, the altar has a bowl in the middle with ancient Aztec symbols, a giant crystal object facing up to the sky similar to magnifying glass that is being held by two pillars:

“My master investigated the golden keys for 10 years and found a ritual in the Borderland…He explained that in order to summon the golden, we will need an object made of gold…” El Muerto drops a golden coin to the bowl; “A genuine Spanish Golden coin from over 500 years ago…next we will need elixir that the CIBOLA tribe used to seal the Golden Key” El Muerto takes out a bottle of blue elixir and pours it to the coin.

The moon light comes down the magnifying glass and focuses on the golden coin. El Muerto extends his hand; “Next, we will infuse the elixir and golden coin with mana.” El Muerto releases dark mana from his hand into the bowl, as it slowly melts the coin; “The process will last 15 minutes…and when it's over, I will need the final ingredient…The blood of the sacrifices…”

Quetzalcoatl vs. Sister Veronica

(BBBOOMMM CCCRRAASSHHH)

The battle begins with Sister Veronica throwing her thunder covered lance towards the flying serpent. Quetzalcoatl, who recovered its colorful feathers, receives the impact, creating an explosion.

“Did I get him?” Sister Veronica looks at the sky. Quetzalcoatl comes out of the smoke without any scratches. -TCH- Sister Veronica calls her lance by extending her arm; “I guess a simple attack won’t do any damage right?” Sister Veronica makes a battle stance; “No matter, I can take my time…”

“Foolish mongrel…you think you can beat a God?” Quetzalcoatl gathers mana from his mouth and fires it towards Sister Veronica; “This is bad…”

(BBBBOOOMMM)

Sister Veronica dodges the attack with her lightning speed. “Viento Dvini; Vórtice” (Divine Wind; Vortex) Veronica jumps towards a little vortex and uses it as a catapult, she creates multiple vortexes to jump higher above Quetzalcoatl.

“Oh Senor, dame la fuerza para desterrar aquellos que han pecado…Juicio del Rayo; 300 Voltios” (Oh lord, give the strength to vanish those who have commited sin…Lightning Judgement; 300 Volts)

(BBBBOOOMMMM)

Sister Veronica gathers mana with her spear releasing lighting in the area. She concentrates it in the tip of the lance and releases it as beam towards Quetzalcoatl, Quetzalcoatl response by attacking with his mana breath. The attacks collide creating a huge explosion.

At that moment, Veronica gets distracted, Quetzacoatl uses the opportunity to hit her with his tail.

(PPPUUMMM)

Veronica falls with great speed and crashes into a golden building, destroying it completely. Adihe, who is on Quetzalcoatl’s head takes a look; “Did you kill her?”

“No…she survived by using a strange wind technique…”

The smokescreen clears, revealing Sister Veronica lying on her back; “Damn it all to hell…good thing I used my wind or I would have been killed…that Serpent is no pushover…”

“Why are you attacking Quetzi?” Sister Veronica hears a voice as she stands up, she notices Adihe walking towards her as he repeats the question; “Why are you attacking Quetzi?”

“He’s speaking an ancient language…good thing I can understand him, thanks to Sister’s Magdalena’s teachings. Sister Veronica stands up; “Because, he is a Pagan Deity that our God does not tolerate…therefore, he must perish…he is a sinner…just like you…”

“You got it wrong…the sinners are those who have committed wrong…Quetzi and I have done nothing wrong, we only want to survive…you attacked us without any true motive…for us you are a sinner…”

“Oh, really? I guess I must bring you to judgment…”

“You foolish girl, you are not mature enough to comprehend what is right or wrong…Your eyes reflect innocence and those who are naive always die…''Quetzalcoatl begins to disappear as mana covers Adihe, creating a golden armor. As the light disappears,the golden armor finishes forming. Both Adihe and Quetzalcoatl chant at the same time:

"Deity Armament; Quetzalcoatl"

The golden armor has the head of Quetzalcoatl as a helmet. The armor is 2 meters tall (7 feet), has feathers in its arms, it also has green and red feathers in the helmet. The eyes of the armor are blue.

(BBBAADDUUMMMPPP)

Sister Veronica feels an enormous pressure as the armor stands in front of her; “W-W-What is this? This mana…it's enormous…”

“Little girl, you who have a cross around your neck share the same sin as your predecessors who once attacked this peaceful land…You declare war to us…and now, you will pay…”

“W-W-What is this feeling…fear? Am I afraid?” Sister Veronica begins to tremble upon facing the Aztec God within that form. Quetzalcoatl extends his right arm and summons his large sword.

“Calm down…I must concentrate or else…this time, I will…” In a blink of an eye, Quetzlcoatl charges straight at Sister Veronica. Sister Veronica dodges the attack. -SSLLLASSHH- With one swing, Quetzalcoatl cuts in half many golden buildings. Sister Veronica notices and with her lighting speed begins to run away.

Feeling scared, Sister Veronica runs as fast as she can searching for the exit; “I can’t face that thing…this is too much…what was I thinking… I need to escape…”

“You won’t escape…” Quetzalcoatl with great speed catches up to her. Sister Veronica spins her lance and use it as a shield; “NOOO!!!” -SSLLLAASSHHH- Quetzalcoatl attacks one more time, Sister Veronica manages to stop the slash. Quetzalcoatl attacks multiple times with Sister Veronica defending, however, her lance is cut in half; “This is my chance…” -CLAP- She claps and her lance splits into dozens of mini lances:

“En el nombre del Señor, trae el juicio a los pecadores…Juicio de los Pétalos del Rayo” (In the name of the Lord, bring judgment upon sinners…Judgment of the Lightning Petals)

The dozens of mini lances charge themselves with lighting and attack Quetzalcoalt at the same time. -PPPUUMMMM- Quetzalcoatl swings its giant sword and blows away the spears along with Sister Veronica; “GGYYAAHHH!!!”

Sister Veronica lands on her back as she breathes heavily; “I need to escape…” -PPPUUMM- Quetzalcoatl stands in front of her and grabs her by the neck, slowly lifting her up; “Girl who bears the cross…you are young and naive…but I will show no mercy to those who destroyed my land…”

(SSHHHIINNGGG)

Two blades come out of Quetzalcoatl's right arm, he prepares to stab her; “Wait Quetzi…is it really necessary?” Adihe shows doubts about Quetzalcoatl’s action; “It is…remember that they showed no mercy to our kind…”

Sister Veronica cries; “I was so stupid…thiking that I could fight a God…someone please…Paola…Alondra…please help me…”

(TOC TOC)

“Excuse me…I will have to ask if you could let her go…” Qutzalcoatl hears a voice from his right, he turns around and sees a gun. -BBAANNNGG- A bullet hits the armor, Quetzalcoatl lets Veronica go. -COUGH COUGH- Sister Veronica coughs up blood; “You okay there? Bambina?” Sister Veronica opens her eyes and sees Giovanni standing in front of her; “G-G-Giovanni…”

“WHO DARES TO INTERRUPT MY JUDGMENT!”

Giovanni blows away the smoke from the pistol; “The one and only lady killer Giovanni Piedmont…at your service…”

***************************************************************************

Kasumi vs. Tezcatlipoca

(CRRRAAASSHHH, PUUUMMM)

Kasumi crashes into a golden building. She begins to bleed from her head because of the impact; “KKYYAHH!!” Kasumi breathes heavily as Tezcatlipoca looks at her; Xochitl, who is on the Jaguars head, covers her eyes not wanting to see the violence.

“Xochitl be strong, we want you mother to return, am I right?”

Xochitl remembers her mother’s face and opens her eyes; “You’re right, just 10 more minutes.”

Kasumi stands up; “This is bad, I am pulling my punches here…that girl is distracting me…but I have no choice…I must stall them as much as I can…”

Tezcatlipoca attacks once again but Kasumi dodges it; she begins to charge mana in her sword and swings it multiple times. Kasumi slashes into the air making several small orange lights appear in the air. The balls of mana take the shape of small birds. Kasumi makes a hand sign with her right hand, two fingers coming out like a ninja:

“Dangan no tori” (Translates: Bullet birds)

The bullets charge straight at Tezcatlipoca; “XOCHITL…HOLD ON TIGHT!” Tezcatlipoca dodges the bullets, preventing any attack towards Xochitl. “GGYYAAHH TEZQUI..THIS IS TOO MUCH!” Xochitl falls from Tezcatlipoca’s back. -PPUUMM- Xochitl lands on the ground.

“XXOOOCCHHIITTLLL!!!” Tezcatlipoca screams and gets distracted. “This is my chance” Kasumi appears above the Jaguar getting ready to stab him. The Jaguar turns around; “DAMN YOU!”

(BBBOOMMM)

Tezcatlipoca releases a shock, blowing away Kasumi. Kasumi lands on her feet as she thinks; “I hesitated upon seeing the child…damn it…I blew my chance…”

“Xochitl…Xochititl are you okay? answer me please…” Tezcatlipoca moves Xochitl. Xochitl opens her eyes and stands up; “I’m okay…my head hurts a little…”

The Jaguar smiles; “Good…what a relief…” The Jaguar looks at Kasumi; “She is strong…I need to fight her serious…Xochitl, I will need you to lend me your strength as well…we will fuse our souls like our siblings…”

“But Tezqui…I don’t want to fight…” Xochitl hesitates, Tezcatlipoca leans over; “It will be alright…because I will be the one who will defend you…you have a purae soul…leave the fighting to me…”

Tezcatlipoca begins to shine and slowly disappears with his mana going into Xochitl’s body. Xochitl closes her eyes as both of them chant; “Spirit Armament; Tezcatlipoca” Suddenly, a giant pillar of black and gold mana releases to the air.

(BBBAADDUUMMPPP)

“This is bad, this is the armament that Alejandro mentioned to me…this mana…is immense…” Kasumi sweats from her cheek upon seeing the fusion.

“SENPAI!” Alejandro and Ana notice the power coming from Kasumi’s direction. “Alejandro we must move…” Ana grabs his hand as they both head to rescue their friends.

Tezcatlipoca and Xochitl finish fusing their souls revealing a giant armor.

Tezcatlipoca’s armor consists of a dark golden color. The armor is 7 feet tall, with claws in its hand, the helmet is shaped like a Jaguar's face with red feathers sticking out of the armor. The right hand has a mirror edge sword with the left hand holding his mirror.

“Now then, you sinner…prepare to die…”

“Hahaha….” Kasumi, instead of showing fear, she laughs; “Excellent, I was worried that I would hurt the girl but now, that worry is gone…”

“What are you saying…you were holding back?”

“Of course…but now that you have shown your true power…let me show you mine…” Kasumi demonstrates confidence as her eyes glow an orange color.Kasumi lifts her sword as she slowly chants; “Orenjikji: Saidai Mode” (Orange Pheasant: Maximum Mode)

Kasumi’s appearance changes as she enters the “Saidai mode”; Her kimono turns black her coat disappears.Her mouth is covered by a ninja styled mask and a black scarf that wraps around her neck and goes down to her back. Her face has marks consisting of two lines crossing her face and a circle in the forehead. Her hair, instead of being down, is now a high ponytail with swallow shaped hair-ornament, with bangs covering her left eye.

“What is the meaning of this? Your mana reaches the levels of a God? This is Preposterous…”

“Aztec God, you have disappeared for hundreds of years…technology has advanced to the point that we can compete with the Gods…if this is a sin…then I am a sinner who will protect my loved ones…” Kasumi lifts her katana, her katana begins to shine and slowly splits in two. Kasumi’s katanas are now a long one and a short one.

Kasumi takes a step forward and disappears from Tezcatlipoca’s sight. -PPPUUMM- Kasumi hits Tezcatlipoca, the Jaguar covers himself with his mirror; “This woman’s power…it was too strong…”

“Tezqui…watch out…” Xochitl warns Tezcatlipoca, Tezcatlipoca reacts and stops Kasumi’s attack once more. -PPPUUMMM- The force of the attack creates a small crater beneath Tezcatlipoca’s feet.

“I need to go faster…” Kasumi increases her speed and attacks multiple times. -PUM PUM PUM- Kasumi attacks from all directions, Tezcatlipoca only defends. Kasumi uses the chance to release mana spheres around him, as she jumps in every direction. Kasumi makes a hand-sign consisting of her index and middle fingers up;

“Tori no dangan: Sen” (Translates: Bird Bullets: One thousand)

(PUM PUM PUM PUM)

Kasumi’s attack hits Tezcatlipoca, Tezcatlipoca uses his shield to cover himself. Kasumi puts away her katanas and extends her arms. Mana flows out and summons a pair of orange wings; “Kijifurappu” (Pheasant Flap)

(BBBBOOOMMM)

Kasumi swings her arms like a bird and releases a powerful shockwave, Tezcatlipoca covers himself but the force pushes him back destroying some buildings in the process. Tezcatlipoca lies on the ground, he slowly stands up. Kasumi lands on the top of a building, breathing heavily; “ This Ancient God is powerful…even in my Saidai Mode, I haven’t made any scratch on him…I must keep my guard up…”

“Xochitl, are you okay?”

“Yes…I am…my head hurts a little…”

Tezcatlipoca stands up and looks at Kasumi:

“Foolish, woman, I am a God…you won’t look beneath me…”

“I am not, I am only protecting my loved ones and to do that, I must confront you, then so be it…”

Kasumi and Tezcatlipoca clash one more time…

***************************************************************************

Alejandro's Group

As the fights continued…Alejandro and Ana headed with their mission to rescue their captive friends…

(BBBOOMMM CCCRRAASSHHH)

“Aww man…I wanted to see the Gods in action…” Alejandro whines, -PUUM- Ana hits him in the head; “Shut up you idiot…we’re in a tight situation here…”

“Right…sorry…”

“Aren’t you afraid of this situation? You’re acting so calm…”

“To tell you the truth…I am afraid…who wouldn’t be…but still…there are people who depend on me right now…and even if I want to wet myself upon seeing two Aztec Gods…I will keep moving forward and get everyone safe…” Alejandro continues walking, Ana looks at his back, Alejandro turns around asking; “Is something wrong?”

Ana shakes her head as she thinks; “I now understand very well…you are a very special person…”

Alejandro and Ana hide near the prisoners, the prisoners are hanging in the main road near the pyramid, golems guard them as they walk around. Alejandro takes out a talisman with the kanji; “召喚” (Summon); “Alright, I place a little bit of blood in here and…” Alejandro makes a little cut in his thumb and presses it to the talisman.

(PPOOFF)

Suddenly, a boomerang appears; “Sweet, it worked, just like Naruto…” Ana looks impressed; “Oh wow, just like Naruto…”

“I know right…” Aleandro smiles. Alejandro asks Ana; “You said you are a mage right…tell me…can you make mud?”

Ana nods in confusion. He looks at it and the prisoners, hanging from pillars; “Very, I got a plan…but Ana…I will need your help…”

Ana nods in agreement, Alejandro explains the plan.

El Muerto, who is concentrating on the ritual, thinks; “You’re here…Alejandro…”

(STEP)

Alejandro stands in front of the golems, Alejandro pulls his sleeve up, revealing the silver crest:

“ACTIVATE SILVER MUSTANG COMPLETE!”

(BBBOOOMMM)

A pillar of Silver manna illuminates the area, changing Alejandro into his esper suit. Ana covers herself as she looks at Alejandro; “I-I-Incredible…this much mana…”

Alejandro, in his esper suit, slowly walks towards the Golems. -RRAAWWW- The golems run straight at him. Alejandro gathers mana on his right fist; “Take this…Silver Punch”

(BBBBOOOMMMM)

Alejandro, with one blow, destroys two golems with ease. “Oh wow…I didn’t think there would be another strong opponent here…” Alexa chuckles, El Muerto continues to pour mana in the bowl; “They are going to free the prisoners…Alexa…this is where you will help me…”

“I know…I know…” Alexa walks and sees Alejandro. Alejandro notices her; “That girl, she has a mariachi attire like Uriel and Felicitas…is she an enemy?”

“HEY BOY…DON’T DO ANYTHING STUPID…I DON’T WANT TO KILL YOU!”

Alejandro feels her mana; “She’s strong…I don’t want to face her…” Alejandro smiles; “SORRY…BUT DOING STUPID THINGS IS MY SPECIALTY…ANA NOW!”

Alejandro takes out his boomerang and charges it with mana. Alejandro throws it with force. -SSSLLLAASHHH- The boomerang cuts the ropes of everyone hanging from their arms. “ANA NOW!” Alejandro shouts. Ana appears and puts both hands at the ground:

“Técnica secreta; Camino de lodo” (Secret Technique; Mud Road)

Ana summons a large road made of mud and elevates it to catch everyone. The Boomerang returns to Alejandro’s hand; “Awesome…”

Ana lowers the level of the mud and pulls everyone towards her. Alexa chuckles; “Now that was very creative…what other tricks do you have?”

“I have only one left…” Alejandro drops a sphere. -PPUUMM- The sphere explodes, creating a smokescreen covering everyone. Alejandro runs towards Ana, Ana once again puts her hand on the ground; “Placa moviente” (Moving Plate) A large piece of stone separates from the others and moves away from the temple.

“You let them get away…” El Muerto exclaims, Alexa smiles; “I just wanted to see what they would do…but don’t worry…they won’t escape from me…” Alexa disappears from El Muerto’s sight.

Ana and Alejandro head towards the exit along with the others; “Ana, we need to hurry…”

“I know…but having everyone makes it slower…” Ana puffs her cheeks. Slowly, the others open their eyes, Antoine lifts his body; “Where are we?”

“Oh good…you’re awake…” Alejandro looks at him. Antoine looks around and notices Ana; “ANA…YOU’RE OKAY!” Antoine runs to her side, Ana blushes and avoids looking at him; “Of course I am, you have little faith in me…”

The others wake up as well. S tefan makes an excited expression; “AWESOME…WE’RE IN A MOVING ROCK LIKE AVATAR!” He looks at Alejandro; “ COOL MAN! THAT’S A COOL SUIT!”

“I know right…” Alejandro and Stefan fist bump.

“Alejandro…why are you here?” Dr. Escobar looks at Alejandro; Alejandro smiles; “We came here to save you…”

“You? Save us? Is this a joke?” Marinette makes a smirk, Alejandro gets angry; “Why you?”

“This isn't a joke…Alejandro is the one that freed you…he’s strong…” Ana comments to the others. “Ana…” Madeleine looks at her worried. Alejandro feels proud; “I am not that strong…anyway…we must hurry or she will catch up to us…”

Angel looks at Alejandro confused; “Who?”

“He’s referring to me…” Everyone hears voices coming from behind them. They turn around and see a girl in Mariachi attire.

“Who is she?” Angel asks as he feels her overwhelming power. -BADUMP- Alexa’s mana paralyzes everyone, she walks to the middle and takes out her sword; “My name is Alexa, and I need you to return with me…” Alexa with the tip of her sword gently touches the rock,

(SSLLASSHH)

She cuts the rock into little pieces and sends everyone flying towards every direction. Alexa swings her sword and ties everyone up with threads.

“WHAT IS THIS…I CAN’T MOVE!” Alejandro struggles along with everyone. Alexa puts away her sword; “Struggle all you want…my threads are really tough to break…”

“Why are you helping that lunatic? Why are you doing this?”

“Because I want the golden key silly…and to do that…I need the blood of the descendants of the Cortes…” Alexa points at the Cortes; “Now then, because I like your attitude…how about I let everyone go except for the Cortes…”

The Cortes look at everyone else. Ana lowers her face; “I bet they will say yes…I mean, we are hated by the world…it will be no surprise…”

“I REFUSED!” Antoine shouts. Ana looks at him surprised; “Even if our houses are Enemies…I refuse to leave a comrade to die…I prefer to die myself…”

“Antoine…” Ana cries. Madeleine and Marinette look at him with pride; “That’s our big brother!”

“You have our respect…” The others look at him with respect including Stefan who thinks; “That was so inspirational…”

“That idiot…he ruined my plan…I was going to say yes and then when she lowered her guard…I was going to make my move…” Alejandro shakes his head.

“Are you sure? Oh well…I guess, I will have to kill you all and then take them…” Alexa draws her sword. Alejandro struggles; “COME ON…I NEED TO FREE MYSELF…MOVE…” Suddenly, Alexa looks up; “So, you’ve arrived…” Alejandro also feels a presence and looks up; “He’s here…”

A figure falls from the sky and enters the volcano. With great speed, the figure takes out a sword; “Arte del Mariachi: Canción del Viento, Primera Estrofa: Ráfaga de Viento Cortante” (Mariachi Art: Wind Song, First Stanza: Gust of Cutting Wind)

(SSSLLAASSHHH)

A powerful wind blows down, cutting all the threads in an instant. Everyone falls free, the figure stands in front of them. Alejandro chuckles; “You sure took your time…Uriel…”

Uriel looks at Alejandro; “At least I wasn’t going to be killed…”

“You idiot…” Both of them chuckle. “Uriel…you have arrived…” Alexa looks at Uriel. The others gather behind him. Alejandro walks next to Uriel; “Uriel, who is she? And why does she have the same attire as you?”

“You can call her my cousin…and she is powerful…Alejandro, take the others and get out of here…I will stall her as much as I can…”

Alejandro notices Uriel in a tense state; “I see…she’s strong…” Alejandro nods in agreement; “Okay dude…but you better catch up…”

“I will…” Uriel walks towards Alexa. “Are you going to fight me?” Alexa asks Uriel. Uriel takes out his sword; “If you try to chase them…I will…”

“I don’t care about that anymore…now that you’re here…let’s settle this…” Alexa and Uriel charge at the same time and clash with their sword.

As they run to the exit, Crespo asks Alejandro; “Alejandro…was it alright to leave Uriel behind?”

“Of course, we will only be in his way…besides…we have our own fight…” Alejandro notices that in the exit, two more golems along with a dozen sombras are waiting for them.

“I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE READY TO FIGHT FOR YOUR LIVES!” Alejandro shouts as they approach the exit.

***************************************************************************

Sister Veronica was about to be defeated by Quetzalcaotl, however, Giovanni intervened…

“You foolish man…you dare challenge me?” Quetzalcoatl lifts his sword. Giovanni sighs; “See…that’s why I told you to stick to the plan…but there you go pissing off a God…”

“I’m sorry…” Sister Veronica lowers her head with tears. Giovanni looks at her; “It seems you twisted your ankle…heal it so we can run away…”

“I can’t…”

“Why not?”

Sister Veronica looks embarrassed; “Because…I don’t know that spell…”

“YOU’RE A SISTER AND YOU DON’T KNOW THAT SPELL…WHAT THE HELL?”

“IT’S COMPLICATED OKAY!”

Both of them glare at each other. Quetzalcoatl charges at Giovanni. -SSLLAASHH- Giovanni evades the attack. Quetzalcoatl continues to attack him, Giovanni dodges every attack with ease; “Damn it…I guess…I have no choice…” Giovanni takes out a cigarette and lights it; “HEY SERPENT…LET ME SHOW YOU MY SECRET TECHNIQUE!”

“Schermo Fumo” (Smokescreen) Giovanni blows smoke and creates a giant smokescreen; “NOW MY SECRET TECHNIQUE” Quetzalcoatl gets on his guard and Sister Veronica prepares for the worst. Giovanni grabs Sister Veronica and carries her in his arm as he screams; “RUN AWAY!”

“WWHHHAATT?” Sister Veronica is in shock; “I thought you were going to fight?”

“Are you dumb or something, that thing is a GOD…I can’t win besides…” Giovanni looks back and sees Quetzalcoatl standing in the smoke. -SNAP- Giovanni snaps his fingers; “Esplode” (Explode)

(BBBBOOOMMM)

The smokescreen catches fire and creates a giant explosion. Sister Veronica looks impressed; “That was impressive.”

“You don’t always have to fight…” Giovanni continues to escape as he notices Alejandro’s group in the distance; “The boy…”

Quetzalcoatl comes out of the smokescreen unharmed; “Brother…it appears we have a sinner…it’s time to pass on judgment…”

***************************************************************************

Kasumi and Tezcatlipoca continue with their battle…

(SSSLLLAASSHHH)

Kasumi continues to fight Tezcatlipoca, both of them clashing their swords. Kasumi’s movements begin to slow down; “I am reaching my limit…I guess, I am still too weak to fight a God…”

“I understand Brother…” Tezcatlipoca turns to look at Giovanni; “I found you…sinner…”

Kasumi notices Tezcatlipoca’s change of attitude; “Hey…what are you…” Tezcatlipoca charges towards Giovanni. Kasumi chases after him; “WHERE ARE YOU GOING! YOU COWARD!”

(PPPPUUUMMM)

Quetzalcoatl appears and attacks her. Kasumi covers herself with her blade but the impact sends her flying a couple of buildings away.

Kasumi comes out of the rubble; “ATTACKING ME FROM MY BLINDSPOT…WHERE IS YOUR HONOR!”

“Foolish girl…in war, there is no honor…now prepare yourself…” Quetzalcoatl charges directly at Kasumi. Kasumi sighs; “Very well…I will show you honor…” Kasumi jumps to the air and directly at Quetzalcoatl clashing one more time.

Giovanni approaches Alejandro 's group. Sister Veronica acts embarrassed; “Hey, could you put me down, please…”

“Sorry Bambina…but if I do that now…you won’t make it…”

“HEY BOY…OVER HERE!” Giovanni shouts, Alejandro notices and sees them; “Oh it’s the pervert and the nun…but why are they…”

(BBBOOOMMM)

Tezcatlipoca appears behind them, everyone is in shock. Alejandro runs towards them. “ALEJANDRO!!” Dr. Escobar shouts with her arm extended. -TCH- “He didn’t give me enough time…” Giovanni smiles as he notices Alejandro running towards them. Giovanni looks at Sister Veronica; “Hey Bambina, you remind me of my daughter…please take care…”

“GGYYYAHHH” Giovanni throws Sister Veronica to the air. He turns around and takes out a pair of pistols. -BANG BANG- Giovanni fires two bullets towards Tezcatlipoca. -PPPUUMM- A giant explosion releases a big wind current, Alejandro manages to catch Sister Veronica:

“I CAUGHT YOU!”

“GYAAHH, LET ME GO YOU PERVERT!” Sister Veronica slaps Alejandro; “Hey calm down…I just saved you…come on…” Alejandro carries Sister Veronica. Tezcatlipoca notices and chases them.

Giovanni stands between them; “I won’t let you…” -BANG BANG- Giovanni fires one more time. Tezcatlipoca strikes him with his sword; “I shall pass down judgment to you first…”

(PPPUUMMM)

“AHHH” Giovanni suffers as he collides in one of the buildings. “GIOVANNI!” Sister Veronica screams. Giovanni opens his eyes; “STAY WHERE YOU ARE…DON’T COME NEAR ME!” Alejandro grabs Sister Veronica tightly; “You heard him…”

Tezcatlipoca puts his shield in front of Giovanni; “Now sinner…time Judgment…Inferis iudicium” (Underworld Judgment)

Tezcatlipoca was also known as the God of the Underworld…the Aztecs believed that he was the one who passed down judgment in the land of the living…his shield will show your sin and if you are guilty…the shield will observe you and in 48 hours, you will be sent to the underworld…

Giovanni's eyes turn hollow as he sees the events that made him guilty; “Giovanni…Papa…” Giovanni sees his wife and daughter being murdered in front of him. “NOOO!!” Giovanni gets closer to the mirror; “No…wait…ahhhh '' Giovanni sees the man that killed his family die by his hand. -BANG- “NOOO…I KILLED HIM, I KILLED THAT MAN!” Giovanni cries. Suddenly, black hands comeout of the mirror and pull Giovanni inside; “Come papa…we will be together forever…”

“Yes…Andrea, my daughter, Lia my love…we will always be together…” The mirror observes Giovanni completely. Sister Veronica and Alejandro are in shock upon seeing the events; “GGGIIIOVVANNNII!” Sister Veronica shouts. Alejandro continues to run carrying her; “I’m sorry…I’m sorry for being weak…”

Tezcatlipoca with great speed catches up to them. Alejandro looks at him; “Oh no…” Tezacatlipoca prepares his shield; “You’re next…” -BBBBOOOMMM- At that moment, Quetzalcoatl flies toward Tezcatlipoca and bumps into him. -CCCRRAASSHHH- Kasumi lands in front of Alejandro; “Senpai, did you do this?And that outfit…is it the Saidai…”

“Alejandro, continue running…you must escape with the others, remember your mission…” Kasumi looks at Alejandro. Alejandro nods in agreement and continues to run.

“What are you doing foolish brother…they are getting away…” Tezcatlipoca exclaims, Quetzalcoatl stands up and looks at Kasumi; “She is strong brother but I also detect that she is a sinner…you should pass down judgment at her…”

“Very well, brother…” Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl prepare to fight Kasumi, Kasumi prepares her blades; “I’m about to reach my limit…but I need to stall for more time…Uriel, where are you?”

***************************************************************************

Uriel vs. Alexa

“Arte del Mariachi: Canción de la Luna” (Mariachi Art: Moon Song)

Both Alexa and Uriel speak at the same time. Uriel makes a downward slash:

“Cuarta Estrofa: Cuarto Menguante” (Fourth Stanza: Crescent Moon Downfall)

Alexa makes an upward slash saying: “SegundaEstrofa: Cuarto Creciente” (Second Stanza: Crescent Moon Upward)

(SSLLLLAAAASSSHHH)

Both of their attacks connect, creating a massive wind. Uriel and Alexa continue with multiple slashes. Alexa raises her sword chanting:

“Melodia de la Guitarra, PrimeraCuerdaMi( E )” (Guitar Melody, First String Mi)

Mana strings attack Uriel, Uriel spins releasing black mana:

“Primera estrofa: Luna Nueva” (First Stanza: New Moon)

(BBBBOOOMMM)

Uriel reflects the strings but Alexa attacks Uriel from behind with great speed.

(SSSLLLLAAASSSHHH)

They continue to clash their swords on multiple occasions without slowing down. Alexa kicks Uriel, pushing him back. She uses the opportunity to create mana strings heading towards Uriel. Uriel puts his hand on the floor and lifts a golden wall with his mana.

(BBBOOOMMM)

The strings destroy the wall completely. Uriel and Alexa stand for a few moments glaring at each other. Alexa chuckles; “You’re holding back are you? Why are you helping them? You know that El Charro Negro is someone who is solitary right?”

“...” Uriel doesn’t say a word. -TCH- Alexa charges at him and they clash one more time; “ARE YOU AN IDIOT?”

“I am not…the only reason I am doing this is because I hate that man over there…why are you doing this? Is it because you want my powers so badly? Remember that your dad chose me…”

“DAMN YOU!” Alexa attacks Uriel, Uriel defends himself as they continue to clash swords; “DAMN IT…WHY DID HE CHOSE YOU? HE KNEW THAT I WAS GOING TO BE IN HIS LIFE…WHY DAMN IT?”

“I don’t know…but know this…I am El Charro Negro…Viento Divino” (Divine Wing) -BBBOOMM- Uriel’s technique blows Alexa a few meters back. Alexa glares at him; “Well…you won’t be for too long…” Alexa moves her eyes; “It appears the show is about to begin…”

Uriel turns to see El Muerto approaching Kasumi’s location; “What’s going on?”

***************************************************************************

“It’s ready…I think it’s time for you to make a move…” A black portal opens behind El Muerto, and suddenly, another Muerto appears. This El Muerto has a green-striped white mask with a greener tone in his black rope; “Very well…it’s time for the sacrifices to be useful…”

(BBBOOMMM)

Kasumi dodges the Gods attacks. Tezcatlipoca tries to approach his mirror, Kasumi jumps back to gain some distance. Quetzalcoatl appears and tries to punch her. Kasumi dodges the attack with great speed and gains more distance.

“I am about to reach my limit…damn it…” Kasumi breathes heavily. AT that moment, El Muero appears behind Tezcatlipoca floating in a green platform made of mana:

“Your time is up…Separarea Sufletului” (Translates: Soul Separation)

“What are you doing mortal?”

El Muerto touches Tezcatlipoca’s back, at that moment, he separates Xochitl from Tezcatlipoca and throws a purple crystal at the armament. “TEZQUI HELP!” El Muerto grabs Xochitl and disappears from the portal. -BBBBOOOMMM- “AAHHH” Tezcatlipoca loses control as his armor changes into a white color with blue eyes.

“My brother, has been corrupted!” Quetzalcoatl looks at his brother. Adihe looks everywhere and screams; “Where is my sister?”

(RRRAAAWWW)

Tezcatlipoca turns berserk and attacks Quetzalcaotl. -BBBOOOMMM- “Calm down brother!” Quetzalcoatl defends himself, trying to push Tezcatlipoca away. At that moment, El Muerto appears and touches Quetzalcoatl’s back; “Now for you…Separarea Sufletului” (Soul Separation) El Muerto separates Adihe from Quetzalcoatl and once again, puts a black crystal inside the armor. -PPUUUMMM- The crystal expands “corrupting” Quetzalcoatl as well. The armor turns black with red eyes.

(RRRAAAWWW)

Both of the Aztec Gods roar as they ignore Kasumi and head towards the temple. Kasumi falls into one of her knees; “What just happened here? Where are the children?”

“What happened? Where are the children?” Uriel notices the top of the pyramid/temple; “Damn it” Uriel charges straight to the temple. “Hey wait…” Alexa follows him. Kasumi sees Uriel heading to the temple; “The children…don’t tell me…” Kasumi runs towards the temple as well.

Uriel jumps towards the temple, however, Quetzalcoatl intercepts him. Kasumi is stopped by Tezcatlipoca.

“WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

“They are following my order…Charro Negro…” El Muerto appears floating as he looks at his crystal; “This crystal that master gave me is used to control Sombras…but it appears it can also work on Gods…”

El Muerto looks at Uriel and Kasumi; “Both of you…will now be witness of the creation of the Golden Key…”

A portal appears at the top of the temple. Adihe falls from the portal; “Where am I? Xochitl…where are you?” Adihe looks for his sister, he opens his eyes wider as he sees El Muerto holding his sister; “XXXOOCCHHIITTLLL!”

(BBBOOMMM CCRRAASSHHH)

A powerful battle rages below him. Two Aztec Deities fight Uriel and Kasumi who are trying to pass through them and reach the altar.

“Damn it, I won’t make it in time…” Uriel thinks as he blocks Quetzalcoatl's punches. Kasumi defends herself from Tezcatlipoca.

“Hehehe…I want to see how this concludes…”Alexa observes everything with a smile on her face.

“In order to release the Golden Key, we need a sacrifice…” El Muerto lifts his arm, he is holding Xochitl from her neck.

“You were very valuable, little girl…”

“XXXOOCCHHHIITTTLLL!!’ Adihe runs towards the altar. He desperately tries to reach the man on time; “SSTTOPPP EL MUERTO!” Xochitl opens her eyes and sees her brother, she smiles at him with tears in her eyes; “I’m sorry…Adihe…”

El Muerto laughs; “Now, just like the Ancient Aztecs did before…you will now serve as sacrifice…”

El Muerto prepares to stab Xochitl; “NOOO!!!”

(SSLLLASSHHHH)

El Muerto stands Xochitl in the stomach making her bleed. Xochitl falls into the altar bleeding, with her blood flowing to the golden bowl. “XOCHITL!” Adihe runs towards Xochitl, El Muerto disappears from his sight. -SSSLLLAASHHH- El Muerto stabs Adihe from the back; “W-W-Why? Why did you betray us? I though you needed the Cortes for a sacrifice…”

“Foolish child, this the real world, rule number one…never trust anyone…that was lie, I needed the blood of an Aztec native to bring the golden key, which is why the Red Witch imprisoned you for 500 years, and your purpose is now complete, you have my gratitude…”

El Muerto pulls the sword out. Adihe falls, he crawls towards his sister and tries to reach her; “Xochitl…please forgive me…”

Adihe reaches his sister and grabs her hand, closing his eyes. -BBBOOOMMM- At that moment, a powerful aura covers the entire volcano. -BBADDUUMMPP- “MY HAND!” Alejandro stops as he feels a great pain in his hand; “The key, it’s reacting to something…don’t tell me…”

The blood fuses with the blue elixir and El Muerto’s mana. The blood takes the form of a key as El Muerto shouts; “FINALLY, THE GOLDEN KEY HAS APPEARED!”

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

Uriel, who is fighting Quetzalcaotl , begins to feel his body shaking, his eyes turn yellow; “Something´s wrong, Marina is reacting."

“AAAYYYY MMMMIIISSS HHHIIIJJJOOOSSS”

Light shines from Uriel´s body. At that moment, Marina appears in her ghost mode with claws that grow out of her hands, her corneas change into black and her eyes change into red with blood coming out of her eyes. She charges straight at El Muerto to attack him.

(SSSLLLAAASSSHHH)

Marina is blocked by the other Muerto with the Green striped mask; “I will be your opponent.”

Uriel dodges Quetzalcoatl and heads straight to the temple. However, Alexa appears in front of him; “Alexa, step aside…” Alexa smiles as she clashes swords with him; “I won’t let you pass…”

Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca head towards Kasumi.Uriel and Alexa are clashing swords, Marina is fighting El Muerto and Kasumi faces against the two deities. The only one noticing the battle is the crow that is flying around in circles; Bella is watching from the crows eyes; “Well now this is a battle royal, what will you do Uriel?”

*******************************************************************

Kasumi vs. Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca

Kasumi battles the two of the deities at the same time.

(PUM PUM PUM)

Kasumi dodges Quetzalcoatl's sword. Tezcatlipoca attacks with his sword, Kasumi blocks it with her katana but the force sends her flying towards a building.

(CCCRRAASSHHH)

Kasumi is reaching her limit, she makes multiple slashes, however, neither of them connect with the deities.

Quetzalcoatl swings his sword at her, she avoids the slash but Tezcatlipoca hits her with his mirror.

(BBBOOOMMM)

“Look in front of you and be judged by you sins…” Kasumi lifts her head and sees the mirror, her eyes turn hollow as she sees the mirror. The reflection shows her past; the flames of a certain building, the two people in the ground bleeding dead at her feet. Smoke begins to flow out of the mirror.

“KKYYYAAHHHH” Katsumi screams of fear as the silhouette of two people begin to pull her into the mirror: “Get judge in the underworld; Juzgado del Inframundo” (Underworld Judgement.)

Kasumi slowly enters the mirror with tears in her eyes; “I’m sorry, please forgive me: Brother and Father”

“Kasumi, you must wake up, Kasumi” Kasumi hears the voice of her mother calling for her. “Mother” she sees a silhouette of her woman extending her hand, Kasumi opens her eyes just about the moment she is completely.

(BBBBOOOMMMM)

She releases a ray of mana towards the mirror using it as an impulse and breaking free of the mirror.

Kasumi breathes heavily as she lifts her katana one more time; "How dare you use my mother…" She charges mana creating a pillar:

“Kiji no habataki” (Pheasant’s wing flap)

Kasumi swings her sword down connecting with the two deities.

(BOOOOMMMMM)

A massive ray of mana crashes into the temple of gold. Kasumi’s Saidai mode dissapears as she returns to her regular esper suit. Kasumi breathes heavily looking at the smokescreen; “Did I get them?” Without warning, a hand comes out of the smokescreen grabbing her.

***************************************************************************

(SSLLLLAAAASSSHHH)

Uriel and Alexa continue their fight. Alexa cuts Uriel, making him bleed from his arm:

"What's the matter Uriel…you seem distracted…"

Alexa mocks Uriel. -TCH- Uriel looks at her with rage.

(BBADDUUMMPPP)

Uriel turns to see a huge dust cloud. When the dust cloud clears the two deities are standing with Tezcatlipoca choking Kasumi, blood comes out of her mouth as she screams of pain:

“KKKYYYAAHHHH”

He takes a deep breath with his eyes closed; "If this drags on more…I will lose…and Kasumi will die…"

Alexa looks at him confused. Uriel opens his eyes; " Very well…I give up…"

"What did you say?"

"I lose…you can have the Golden Key…my only wish is to save Kasumi…if you help me…I will agree to duel you for the title of Charro…"

"Really?" Alexa looks at him with "star-shaped" eyes. "Even if she is strong…she's still a nive teen…" Uriel nods in agreement; "I give you my word…whatever you do…don't let El Muerto get the key…"

"Hahaha…I won't… We have a promise then…" Alexa shouts with excitement. She raises her blade; “I will help your friend there, but you need to stay still for one more minute.”

Alexa looks at the Gods:

“Arte del Mariachi, Melodía de la guitarra, segunda cuerda SI ( B )” (Mariachi Art, Guitar Melody, second string SI ( B) )

Mana strings attack the Gods, tying them up.Kasumi falls unconscious to the ground. “I´m using two strings however they won´t last, hurry” Uriel turns around and pases Alexa. Alexa smiles; “Don’t forget our promise”

“I won’t” Uriel heads towards Kasumi’s direction at full speed. Alexa heads towards the temple. Uriel with great speed gets Katsumi before the Gods break free, Uriel grabs Katsumi and takes her to the top of a building away from the Gods. Uriel checks her pulse; “This is bad, she isn’t breathing…”

Uriel lifts Kasumi and performs CPR trying to get her to breathe again. After one minute, Uriel performs mouth to mouth; “Breath Kasumi…please, you have to live…” Uriel feels despair as he tries to revive Kasumi.

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

“What is this sensation…it’s so warm…” Kasumi opens her eyes and sees Uriel’s eyes. At that moment, she realizes that Uriel’s lips are touching hers. “KKYAAHHH” Kasumi immedaite separates from Uriel blushing. Uriel looks at her surprised; “Kasumi…”

“My first kiss and it was Uriel” Katsumi thinks, touching her lips with a low tone. Uriel sighs with his eyes closed and gets closer to her. Kasumi looks at the Gods; “Uriel…what happened…”

Uriel interrupts her by hugging her tightly; “Thank goodness…you’re alive…I thought you were going to die…you’re very important to me…please don’t die…” Kasumi blushes and hugs him back; “I’m sorry…I was reckless…”

(BBBOOOMMM)

An enormous pressure hits the area as the Golden key’s formation was finished…

***************************************************************************

El Muerto vs. La Llorona

“AAAHHHHH” Marina screams creating sound waves pushing El Muerto back as he falls into the Golden pillar. El Muerto evades Marina’s multiple scratches as she screams with fury.

Marina manages to grab El Muerto. El Muerto feels his body numb as Marina chants:

“Separacion de Almas” (Soul Separation)

“What is this?” El Muerto’s soul comes out of his body. Marina glares at him as she pulls out the soul; “I will kill you…”

“Foolish Ghost…” El Muerto releases mana pressure. La Llorona lets go of the soul and moves back.

“That was scary…but still…it will take more to kill me…” He lifts his arm and makes a sword with green light appear. He jumps into the air in order to strike Marina.

(SSLLLLAAAASSSHHH)

El Muerto cuts Marina on her hip making her bleed. Marina looks surprised at El Muerto:

“You thought that being a ghost you are vulnerable, well this is a spirit weapon sword that can cut even ghosts.”

Marina feels despair and flies towards her children, extending her arms; “XOCHITL…ADIHE…”

El Muerto disappears from Marina’s eyes and suddenly she feels pain from her stomach.

(SSLLAASSHHH)

El Muerto stabs Marina, she bleeds from the stomach and falls, Marina slowly disappears looking at her children; “Mis…Hijos…”

“Well that was easy,” El Muerto with the green stripe feels the pressure of the temple as the golden key finally forms.

***************************************************************************

(BBBOOOMMM)

The golden key releases an enormous amount of mana that spreads towards the temple.

“Is this the power of the golden key? That mana…it’s enormous…” Uriel and Kasumi observe the top of the temple.

“AAHHHH” Alejandro grab his left hand as his Golden key resonates with the new one; “I must control its power…I need to keep it under control…”

El Muerto takes out a cubic container and stores the golden key with great speed. The key stops shining as it is kept in the container; “Finally…I have the golden key…”

Uriel looks at the temple and chuckles; “I see now…” Kasumi gets closer to Uriel; “Is something wrong?”

Uriel looks at Kasumi; “Kasumi, I need you to retrieve now…”

“What do you mean? My mission is not over, it's…”

“Your mission was to free the hostages and now they are free…Kasumi you must go and help them…on my way here, I felt many Sombras in the area…”

“Then if I go…you go…you have already done enough…we must head back to Uriel…”

“I will stay here…my mission is a different one…”

“Then I’ll stay as well…there are two Aztec Deities here…if you fight them alone you will…”

“Enough…” Uriel gets closer to her; “I don’t want to lose people who are important to me…you don’t have to fight a pointless battle…this isn’t your fight…I am the one they are after…it’s my battle…Please leave…”

Kasumi turns around trembling; “Am I really a burden to you?”

“You are…”

“I see…then at least promise me that you will return…” Kasumi jumps towards the exit, with tears in her eyes Kasumi looks forward; “He’s right…my mission is to help my students but still…why does it hurt? Uriel…what am I to you?”

Uriel takes a stance consisting of putting one leg forward and bending it a little; “I won’t get there on time…but still…” He puts his sword in the form of a projectile and chants; “Liberati Bellum” (War Release)

Uriel releases crimson mana and prepares to fire; “Hastam de bello” (War Lance)

(CCCHIIINNNGGG)

Uriel pushes his sword forward, the blade extends like a lance heading towards El Muerto. El Muerto notices and blocks the attack with his two hands; “Damn you…” At that moment, the golden key disspaears from his sight; “NNNNOOO!!!”

(BBBOOOMMM)

The attack is too strong, El Muerto dodges the attack by jumping off the temple. El Muerto lands on the pillar yelling: “Where is the key!!!”

“I have it” Alexa has the container; “All this ruckus for this key huh…this is so lame...Well this is a great key, I’ll probably sell it to buy me a car or something.” Alexa mocks El Muerto.

El Muerto creates two missiles of manna and throws them at her saying: “Don’t screw with me girl”

(BBBOOOOMMMM)

The missiles explode at midair, Alexa has her sword at her hand and disappears from El Muerto’s sight.

(BBBBOOOOMMM)

“You’re annoying.” Alexa kicks El Muerto, sending him towards a pillar destroying it.

Alexa looks at Uriel smiling; “My mission is complete, it was good to see you, try to stay alive...remember that I am the true successor”

“I won’t…” Uriel smiles back at her. A helicopter appears at the crater of the volcano, a ladder falls towards Alexa and she holds it, the helicopter begins to go up as Alexa sees Uriel with a hateful expression. The helicopter disappears.

The eclipse also begins to end, meaning that magma begins to rise as well, El Muerto begins to laugh; “My mission failed, I’m in trouble now but I am not going until I kill you Uriel.”

Uriel reaches the temple and sees the children; “They are still alive…that’s good…” Uriel closes his eyes; “Marina…where are you?” Uriel immediately heals the children’s wounds. The children remain unconscious; “Come Trueno.” A red portal opens and a black horse with red eyes comes out of the portal.

Uriel puts both of the children on top of the horse; “Trueno, please take this children to safety…take them to Kasumi…I will be right behind you…” Trueno nods and with great speed, gallops to the exit of the Volcano.

(RRRAAWWW)

The Gods break free from the strings. The magma level increases slowly. El Muerto stands next to Uriel; “Uriel Di Fiore, you have intervene with my objectives…though I was instructed not to kill you…you leave no choice…”

“I don’t care either way…if you wish to fight…then here I am…”

“I will let my pets take care of you…” -SNAP- El Muerto snaps his fingers, the Gods head towards the temple. He opens a portal as he and the other El Muerto enter the portal; “I wish good luck against your oponents…Charro Negro…”

Uriel jumps down the temple and walks the golden path towards the Gods. Tezcatlipoca stops and extends his mirror:

“Guerra, you will pay for your sins in the underworld for eternity…”

Uriel makes his sword disappear and stands in front of them; “I do not wish to fight…I am Guerra, the sinner and I will pay my judgment…”

Uriel looks at the mirror. Smoke comes out of the shield and Uriel looks at the mirror. He begins to see visions of war. Hands come out of the shield and grab Uriel, they begin to pull him completely absorbing him into the shield. At that moment, Uriel enters the cursed mirror.

The crow observes everything. Bella chuckles; “I see now…I guess it’s time for Guerra to appear…it's been ages…”

Bella looks at the ceiling with four symbols, she focus on the flame symbol and smiles:

“It’s time for the Horseman to appear!”
