Buenos Aires, Argentina

In Argentina, Monumental Stadium, home of the famous Argentinian Soccer club River Plate…Juan De La Trinidad enjoyed the “Super Clasico” game between River Plate and Boca Juniors…

“GGOOOLLLL!!!!” The crowd cheers with excitement as River Plate scored the equalizer against Boca Juniors. The game is now tied 2-2. At that moment, in the VIP Lounge, Juan de la Trinidad let go of his glass.

(CCRRRAASSHHH)

“Mr. Juan, are you alright?” One of the employees asks. Juan is on one of his knees as the people around him look worried. Juan sweats from his forehead as he looks at his hand; “What is this? What happened?”

(BBAADDUUMMPP)

At that moment, everybody froze in a crimson-colored environment, the clocks had stopped as well. Juan lifts his head and notices that time froze. Juan chuckles; “I see…so you're here…Ms. Scarlet”

Juan opens his eyes and sees a cloaked figure in front of him. The cloaked figure does not show its face.

“It appears Uriel Di Fiore has made contact with one of our predecessors…Vasco Velazquez Pizarro…”

The cloaked figure speaks with a feminine voice. Juan stands up; “I see, that explains that sensation…so…he is finally getting a glimpse of the Horseman’s powers…tell me…have the others noticed this?”

“Not yet…Death, Conquest and Famine have not noticed him just yet…for them, you are still the Horseman of War…they do not have a clue that you already transfer your powers…”

“I see…well, that won’t be a secret for so long…if Uriel made contact with him…that means that he is actually fighting against the Gods…”

“Shouldn’t you be more concerned? If the successor were to die…you will die as well…”

“Hahaha…don’t worry about it, Ms. Scarlet…Uriel is strong…besides…he has that crazy bastard of Vasco on his side…everything will be okay…”

“I hope you’re right…I want to meet him in person…however, he isn’t strong enough just yet…Juan de la Trinidad…beware of the Great Witches…”

The hooded figure fades away and everybody moves again along with time. Juan walks towards the window and sees the full moon; “You better not die muchacho…you must stay alive until I kill you…muchacho”

Juan looks at the game as the crows screams once more; “GGOOOLLLL!”

Popocatepetl

(BBOOOMMMM)

Felicitas single handedly took down all of El Muerto’s army; “Now that was entertaining…I wonder if the muchacho managed to…” Felicitas looks at the volcano as she feels an enormous amount of mana:

“Muchacho…what is this power…”

Meanwhile…

The group managed to reach the exit.

“PPEETTRRAAA!!” Dr. Ortiz runs and hugs Dr. Escobar; “I was so worried…I’m sorry for being weak…”

“Don’t worry dear, for now, we must help the children…” Dr. Escobar points at the children. Both of the Doctors head towards the horse, the horse lowers his body in order for the doctors to help the children.

“Dr. Ortiz, is everything ready?” Kasumi asks as she breathes heavily. Dr. Ortiz gives Kasumi a remote control; “Everything is ready Kasumi…just press this button.”

“Very well…we must evacuate here or…”

Everyone except for Stefan looks back at the entrance. They All have a surprise face; Marinette begins to tremble:

“I can't believe this amount of mana”

“I know, however, Uriel´s mana is rising at high speed.” Ana says, looking at them.

“What are you talking about I can't sense anything, what is manna?” Stefan looks with a clueless face.

“Mana is the energy that surrounds us, Alejandro '' Alejandro looks at Stefan as he continues to explain: “People have the ability to sense it if they train hard.”

At that moment, Alejandro feels chills down his spine; “What is this power…that mana is abnormal…”

Stefan trembles; “I don’t know why…but I feel fear…it’s as if there is a monster at the volcano…”

“Alejandro, we must do it now!” Ana looks at him, Alejandro has doubts; “But Uriel, he’s still inside…”

“Alejandro…do it…this is an order!” Kasumi looks at him with confident eyes.

Suddenly wind blows hard coming out of the volcano. Everyone is paralyzed as the mana increases making animals surrounding the area escape.

Alejandro breathes feeling anxiety; “DAMN YOU URIEL!” Alejandro presses the button.

(BBBOOOMMM)

Suddenly, explosives located at each of the entrances in the volcano detonate, creating multiple explosions and covering the paths to the volcano.

Alejandro with tears in his eyes looks at the crumbled entrance; “I’m sorry…friend…”

“It will be alright…becuase he is El Charro Negro afterall…” Kasumi smiles thinking; “Uriel…you better take responsibility…”

Sister Veronica looks with terror; “This mana, it’s worse than a demon…I can’t believe it…is Uriel Di Fiore really a…a…Horseman?”

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

Guerra vs. Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca

Inside the Volcano…the levels of magma slowly increase covering the city…Uriel made contact with Vasco…and made a deal with him…with his power, they managed to escape the cursed mirror…

Uriel, who has a slight change of appearance, laughs.The right side of his body changed, half of his hair turned crimson, his cornea turned black and the pupil red, similar to a beast’s eye.

Behind him is Giovanni, and a girl known as Leticia Marino.

Leticia Marino (Age 17) is a very shy girl who has pale skin, long bright red hair and bright greenish eyes. She has a thin body and an average height. She wears glasses and likes to wear a black diadem on her hair.

Giovanni opens his eyes and looks around; “I can’t believe I'm alive…but how? I was supposed to be inside the mirror…”

“I pulled you out…” Giovanni hears someone speaking to him, he looks at Uriel standing infront of him; “Wait, you’re El Charro Negro right?”

“Not quite…you may call me Guerra…” Uriel (Guerra) turns around revealing his eye with a sinister smile. Giovanni moves back feeling fear; “What the hell? This sensation, this is not the same bambino from before…”

“Mmm…” Leticia opens her eyes; “Ehh…where am I?” Leticia looks at Giovanni. Giovanni smiles; "Buongiorno…Bambina…"

“GYYAHH A PERVERT!” Leticia screams moving back. Giovanni struggles as Leticia moves around;”Calm down, Bambina…we are in a tight situation here…”

Leticia stops and looks around; “Where are we? Why does it feel so hot in here? Why is everything gold?” Leticia notices Uriel and smiles; “Uriel!” Leticia notices the two Gods standing at distance; “Are those Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca?”

“Indeed they are little girl?” Uriel (Guerra) replies with a smile and removes his hat. Leticia looks nervously; “Uriel? What happened to you?”

“Bambina, if you know him, I should warn you that he is not himself right now” Giovanni warns her. Uriel (Guerra) chuckles; “He’s right, you may call me Guerra…my young successor decided to let me borrow his body in order to save you little girl…”

Leticia blushes and smiles; “I’m important to someone…” Giovanni looks at Uriel (Guerra); “And what about me?”

“You were in the way so I pulled you as well…”

“Oh I see…” Giovanni looks depressed. Uriel (Guerra) chuckles; “Listen boy, you are really lucky, I think your God really loves you…but now that I rescued you from that mirror…you owe me a favor…”

Uriel (Guerra) points at the temple; “You and the girl will run as fast as you can towards the Temple…you must protect her with your life…she is important to my successor…”

Leticia looks at Uriel (Guerra); “What will you do?”

“I will have fun for the first time in 500 years, little girl…NOW GO!”

“Right…” Giovanni grabs Leticia’s hand and both of them run towards the Temple.

“Hey girl…gives this back to me…when this is all over…” Uriel (Guerra) gives his charro hat to Leticia. Leticia looks at him surprised. Giovanni pulls her; “Come on, we must hurry…”

Tezacatlipoca looks at Leticia; “Leticia, she’s alive…but how?”

“I freed her from the mirror…now then…time to see what this body can do…” Uriel (Guerra) swings his arm to the right. -BBBOOOMM- He splits the earth open with one swing; “Hahaha…perfect…now then, we have a couple of minutes here…Let’s get started…” Uriel (Guerra) takes off his coat and rolls up his sleeves.

“Now then…what does he call it? Oh yeah…” Uriel (Guerra) mile as he takes a battle stance bending his knees; he holds his sword with his two hands and says:

“Arte del Mariachi, Canción de la Luna” (Mariachi Art, Song of the moon)

(SSSSLLLLAAAASSHHH)

With great speed Uriel slashes Tezcatlipoca in half, to the surprise of the Gods.

“Tercera Estrofa: Media Luna” ( Third Stanza: Half Moon)

(BBBOOOMMMM)

“I did not see him move…how did he…”

The powerful technique slashes through the golden pillars and into the volcano. “What the hell? That slash cut through the pillars like paper…” Giovanni looks in shock. He and Leticia continue to run upstairs.

“Hahaha…this is great…now then, the next technique…let’s see…oh I know!” Uriel (Guerra) makes a step, suddenly, the vibrations of the air become visible. Soon, musical notes begin to appear around him; “-♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫-”

“Arte del Mariachi, Concierto del Charro; Popurri” (Mariachi Art, Charro Concert; Popurri)

Quetzalcoatl pretends to slash Uriel (Guerra) but he stops the sword with one hand. “Popurri; DO RE MI” He turns around and with multiple punches, attacks Quetzalcoatl with great force, sending him flying and crashing into the upper part of the volcano.

(CCRRRRAAASSSHHHH)

Tezcatlipoca attaches himself and tries to attack Uriel (Guerra). “FA SOL LA” With great speed Uriel attacks the Jaguar and with a kick he sends him to the wall. Uriel (Guerra) attacks Tezcatlipoca one more time: “SI DO”

(BBBOOOOMMM)

Quetzalcoatl falls towards Uriel (Guerra) and prepares to use his sword. Uriel (Guerra) grabs his sword with his two hands:

“This is incredible…I am having so much fun…it’s good to be alive…”

Quetzalcoatl and Uriel (Guerra) clash their sword creating a huge shockwave and giant crater beneath Uriel (Guerra)’s legs. -RRRAAWWW- Quetzalcoatl roars forcing Uriel (Guerra) down; “He’s overpowering me huh…I guess the successor’s body isn’t that strong…no matter…I have something for you…”

Uriel (Guerra) makes another. -SSLLLAASSHHH- At that moment, a giant spike emerges from the golden floor, impaling Quetzalcoatl.

Suddenly, Tezcatlipoca charges at Uriel (Guerra), punching him with the mirror. Uriel (Guerra) blocks the punch but the force is so great that it sends him flying towards the wall of a volcano.

(BBBBOOOOMMM)

Uriel (Guerra) vomits blood as he smiles; “I guess, my body is reaching its limit…fighting two Gods is too much even for me hahaha…”

Quetzalcoatl breaks free from the spike, both of the Gods look at Uriel (Guerra). “It appears they are reaching their limit too…” Giovanni mentions it to Letcia. Leticia looks at Uriel with a worried expression; “Uriel…”

The crow descends towards Uriel (Guerra); “What’s this? A crow?”

“Hello Guerra…it’s been a while…” The crow communicates via telepathy.

“This voice…I haven’t heard you in 500 years…Isabella…”

“Guerra…I have a favor to ask you!”

“Hahaha…you and your favors…I remember the last favor I did to you…to assassinate King Henry VIII…I must say, it was a very annoying task…”

“Fufufu…it was necessary like today…I need you to destroy this city…let it sink in the magma completely…”

“No need to ask that…I was already planning…however, I also have a favor to ask you…”

“What kind of favor?” Uriel (Guerra) smiles.

(RRRAAAWW)

The Gods roar with great force. Uriel (Guerra) stands up; “So…do we have a deal?”

“We do…”

“Perfect…well then, little birdy…get out of here…” Uriel (Guerra) jumps towards the Gods with great speed. He charges mana in his right hand; “It’s time to finish this…Popurri Finito” (Popurri Finished)

Uriel (Guerra)’s mana turns into a combination of black and red color. With great power, Uriel (Guerra) punches the ground. -BBBOOOMMM- A massive wind current blows around the Volcano. The punch creates a giant earthquake that everyone in the surrounding area feels. Magma flows at greater speed, the golden floors begin to disappear with the magma.

“This is the end…”

“GUERRA!” -PUM PUM PUM- Uriel (Guerra) and the Gods clash one last time with multiple attacks. Uriel (Guerra) with great joy fights the two Gods, he receives punches and kicks, and gives them equally.After a few moments, the magma almost reaches their feet.

Uriel (Guerra) jumps high into the air and extends his arms, slowly closing his arms together; “Elementum Imperium” (Elemental Control).

At that moment, the magma surrounding the Gods moves like water covering them with great speed. Uriel (Guerra) gathers wind in his hands; “Ventus Vastatio” (Wind Devastation). Uriel (Guerra) releases an enormous amount of wind towards the Gods, solidifying the magma in an instant.

“This is out of this world…what power…it’s frightening…” Giovanni and Leticia observe the fight with shock.

“We’ve reached our limit…young successor, but don’t worry…I’ll show you one of my specialties…” Uriel (Guerra) extends his right arm, and grabs it with his left hand. He gathers crimson and black mana in his hand, creating lighting expanding to all directions; “Fulgur Tempestatis” (Lightning Storm)

(BBBBBOOOOMMM)

Uriel (Guerra) releases a powerful attack towards the Gods. Creating a huge explosion, expanding about 10 kms, destroying the golden building, statues and houses. The explosion expands to the air, creating a massive crimson pillar going to the sky.

“GGYYAAHHH” Leticia and Giovanni get cover upon the massive shock wave. Everyone outside look at the pillar.

“WHAT IS THAT MANA!” Alejandro shouts as they cover themselves upon the shockwave. At the hotel, Marjorie and Johanna observe the pillar; “That’s a lot of mana…I wonder what’s going on over there…”

“Uriel…” Marjorie looks at the window worried.

(BBBOOOMMM)

Uriel (Guerra) lands at the temple where Giovanni and Leticia are located. “Uriel are you okay?” Leticia tries to touch him; “Don’t touch me…you’ll get burn…”

Uriel (Guerra) falls into one knee breathing heavily; “This is my limit…too bad…”

“Did you defeat them?” Giovanni asks, looking down. Uriel (Guerra) shakes his head. -RRRAAWWW- They hear a large roar.

“I’m afraid not…you can’t kill a God just like that…and my stop is up…” Uriel (Guerra) extends his hand and creates a red portal; “Both of you must go now…you’re only in the way…”

“What about Uriel?” Leticia asks with a worried expression. Uriel (Guerra) stands up; “He will be find…now go, my successor didn’t risk his life only for you to die here right…”

“But…” Giovanni interupts her; “Bambina…it’s time to go…remember what he said…” Leticia nods in agreement; “Your hat…”

“Give it to me…when this is all finished…little girl…”

She runs and hugs Uriel (Guerra) from behind, ignoring their warning; “Uriel, please come back safely…” Leticia runs to the portal with tears, Giovanni also heads to the portal; “I owe you my life…Guerra…”

“Don’t worry about it…just don’t go dying an early death…boy…”

Giovanni crosses the portal. Guerra closes the portal; “Young Successor, my time is up…I’m afraid that you will take over from here…one las thing…beware of the Great Witches…”

Uriel (Guerra) closes his eyes, his hair turns back to blue completely, and his mana returns to normal; “Until we meet again…young successor…”

(BBBBAADDDUUUMMMPPP)

Uriel opens his eyes and falls into one knee, he throws up and feels great pain in his body:

“Damn it…why did you leave me in this state…Vasco….”

(BBBOOOOMMM)

The Gods escape from the solid magma, in their beast form. Quetzalcoatl flies as the Giant feathered serpent with black feathers and red eyes. Tezcatlipoca jumps with his white color and blue eyes. Magma continues to fill the whole area faster.

The Gods attack Uriel. Uriel avoids Tezcatlipoca using his Divine Wind, Uriel jumps into the air. -BADUMP- Uriel feels weak, Quetzalcoatl uses the opportunity to tie him up.

“AHHHH” Uriel screams as Quetzalcoatl strangles him like an anaconda with its prey. “You will die…Guerra…”

Uriel slowly loses consciousness, at that moment, bright light shines in the air. “What is this light?” The Gods cover their eyes, they get distracted. Quetzalcoatl let's Uriel go. Uriel falls slowly into the magma, his eyes turn hollow:

“I don’t have enough strength…I will die…I’m sorry…everyone…”

Suddenly someone pulls Uriel away from the magma. Uriel opens his eyes and sees Marina “Don´t give up, Uriel, you must survive”

Uriel regains light in his eyes as he looks at Marina. Marina flies carrying Uriel who is not breathing. They land at the top of the temple. Marina touches Uriel´s chest and it begins to shine.

(BBBBAAADDDUUUMMPPP)

Uriel regains consciousness; “Marina, I thought you disappeared…” Marina smiles at him; “I reserve a little portion of my mana inside you…when I was attacked…I used the stored mana to regenerate…”

“I see…”

(RRRAAWWW)

The Gods head towards Uriel. Marina looks at Uriel:

“You must destroy the crystal in the center of the chest, only then they will be free.”

Marina disappears; Uriel looks down and sees the deities climbing as the magma level rises rapidly.

“It's burning hot in here, I'm out of time.” Uriel closes his eyes, thinking to himself: “I must destroy the crystal, I need to hear them”

"Campo de la Canción; Principio" (Song Field; Beginning) Uriel releases sound waves around the area. Uriel summons his pistol.

Uriel´s pistol is a repeating handgun that has a revolving cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing. The revolver allows the user to fire multiple rounds without reloading after every shot.

Uriel spins the cylinder and points at the middle of the deities. He closes his eyes thinking; “Hear the rhythm…locate the crystals…”

(BBBADDUUUMMPPP)

Uriel opens his eyes, he takes a deep breath and chants:

“Balada del Pistolero: Loteria del Revolver, EL CORAZON” ( Ballad of the gunman; Revolver lottery: THE HEART.)

(BBBAANNNGGG)

Uriel gathers mana in the revolver. He makes a shot and a small ray fires out of the pistol. The ray divides into two separate ones, the rays connect at the two of them and shatters the crystals.

(SSPPLAAASSHHH)

The two deities fall into the magma, disappearing. Uriel breathes heavily; “I guess, this is the end for them…”

(PUM PUM)

Suddenly, two figures emerge from the magma. Uriel looks at them surprised; “What is that?”

The snake and cat jump into the air covered in fire. Uriel catches them as the fire goes out. They are back to their normal colors.

“What happened to us?” Both of them look at Uriel; “Wait…you’re not Guerra…you have similar mana but your face is different…”

“I am his successor…my name is Uriel Di Fiore…it seems you wrath has calmed down…”

“We were sealed for over 500 years…once we woke up, we had the anger of not being there for our people…and now…it appears we will fail again…”

“It appears so…this looks like the best way to end this…let’s call it a draw, shall we?” Uriel chuckles, the serpent and the cat also laugh; “Very…this is a draw…”

Magma reaches the temple, Uriel and the Gods don’t have enough strength to escape. Smoke covers the area as the Volcano is about to erupt. Suddenly the crow grabs Uriel´s back. Uriel holds the two deities in his arms and the crow flies fast as magma turns to lava, the lave reaches the crater.

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

(BBBBBBBOOOOOMMMM)

That night the volcano Popocatepec erupted after 100 years.

A pillar of lava forms into the sky, covering the moon.The volcano erupts with great force, lava flows like a river creating extreme heat. The group got away just in time on higher grounds avoiding the Lava Rivers.

The group observes the Volcano. “This can’t be…” Kasumi looks nervous as she thinks; “Uriel’s mana…disappeared…”

“It’s impossible even for El Charro Negro to survive…” Sister Veronica comments in a low tone. “Maybe there is still hope, come on, we must look for him…” Alejandro walks in search of Uriel.

In another part of the Volcano, Leticia and Giovanni also walk, searching for Uriel; “Where could he be?”

“Bambina…I’m afraid our search is pointless…if he was inside the Volcano, than that eruption must have killed him…you must let the hat go…it’s slowing you down…”

“That’s not true…he made a promise that he would survive…that’s why…I will keep this hat until I see him again…” Leticia replies with an angry expression. Giovanni chuckles; “Sorry Bambina…”

“Leticia…my name is Leticia…”

“Right…Leticia…it’s a pleasure, I am Giovanni…” Giovanni stretches his hand, Leticia shakes his hand. Giovanni walks looking at the sky; “I guess…I still need to atton for my sins…right, God?”

Suddenly, Leticia and Giovanni stop as they hear someone coming. There seem to be some shadows moving in the trees. Giovanni extends his hand; “Stay behind me Leticia…I sense a large amount of mana approaching us…”

Giovanni takes out his gun ready to fire, Leticia looks nervously at the trees. “There’s someone there…we must hurry…” They hear a voice approaching, Giovanni shouts; “Stay where you are!”

(BBAANNNGGG)

Giovanni fires his pistol, the silhouette dodges the bullet and jumps into the air; “WHY YOU!” As the clouds move away from the moon, revealing Alejandro in the air, Giovanni opens his eyes wider; “It’s you…Alejandro!”

“GIOVANNI!” Alejandro falls into the trees as he lost his composure. “Alejandro what happened?” Kasumi runs towards him, Sister Veronica, who is right behind her stops as she opens her eyes wider:

“I-I-It can’t be…”

“What's wrong?” Ana and the others also come out of the trees. Ana stops as her eyes fill themselves with tears. Leticia, who is hiding behind Giovanni, shows herself.

“L-L-Leticia!” Ana runs towards her, Leticia embarrassed waves; “H-H-Hello…I’m back…”

Ana interrupts her by hugging her; “Leticia, you’re alive…it’s a miracle…Thank God!” Leticia hugs her back; “I’m sorry for making you worried…”

The others approach the two of them. Sister Veronica looks at Giovanni. Giovanni chuckles; “You’re not seeing a ghost, Bambina…it’s really me…”

(PUUUMMM)

Sister Veronica kicks his leg. “OUCH, WHAT WAS THAT FOR?” Giovanni exclaims, Sister Veronica with tears in her eyes looks away; “That was for making me worried…I thought you died…you idiot…”

“Hahaha…I thought I died for a second…”

“I don’t understand, you both were absorbed by the cursed mirror, right?” Kasumi asked, intrigued. “It was Uriel…he was the one who pulled us out from the mirror…” Leticia replies, feeling relief.

“Uriel?”

“That’s right…that giovanotto was incredible…he faced off against the Two Gods and had the upper hand there…”

“Then the earthquakes was because of their battle…” Antoine wonders. Alejandro comes out of the bushes; “Haha…I knew Uriel could do it…but where is he?”

Alejandro looks around. Leticia and Giovanni lower their heads; “We don’t know, he open a portal for us to escape…minutes later…the volcano erupted…”

“You don’t mean he’s…” Alejandro looks nervous. Everyone lowers their heads feeling sorrow. -TCH- “NO…IT CAN’T BE!” Alejandro gets closer to the lava river. He looks everywhere, Doctor Ortiz gets closer; “I’m sorry Alejandro, but someone as powerful as him could not survive an eruption…”

“You’re wrong…my friend is strong!” Alejandro falls into his knees and screams:

“UUURRIIIEELLL!!!”

“What do you want?” Everyone hears a voice coming from behind/ They turn around and see Uriel sitting in a branch of tree; “Man, you’re so loud!” Uriel jumps to the ground.

“UUURRRIIEEELLL” Alejandro screams as he runs towards him. “Haha…I knew he wouldn’t die…” Giovanni and the others look at him with happiness.

“URIEL!” Kasumi moves Alejandro aside and hugs him with tears in her eyes; “I thought you died” Uriel hugs her back; “I’m sorry…I made you worried again…” Kasumi cries, hugging her tighter.

“It appears our mission is complete…” Antoine looks at his team who nod in agreement. “Ours is over as well… Giovanni pats Sister Veronica’s head. -PUM- She hits his face; “Don’t do that, it’s embarrassing…”

“Uriel, how did you escape from the eruption?” Alejandro asks, confused.

“Let’s just say I received help from a bird.” A crow flies in the sky with smoke. “AWESOME! YOU ROCK!” Stefan shouts with excitement.

“Now then, where are Xochitl and Adihe?” Uriel asks Kasumi. Everyone lowers their heads, Alejandro points at the horse; “They are over there…” Dr. Ortiz and Dr. Escobar are watching over there crying.

“Uriel it appears we are too late. They died a short while ago” Dr. Escobar holds both of them.

“How can this be? I healed their wounds…” Uriel looks at the siblings with shock.

“I have a hypothesis that the creation of the Golden Key observed not only their blood but their mana as well…they died the moment we left the volcano…we tried everything but…”

Kasumi looks away. Uriel gets closer and sees Xochitl and Ahide, lying together holding their hands.

Uriel walks to them, Uriel touches their hands and closes his eyes.

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

Uriel opens them surprised; “They are not dead yet, I can hear the rhythm of their souls and they are still inside their bodies.”

“Really?” Dr. Escobar asks with enthusiasm. Uriel nods in agreement, everyone feel releif upon hearing those words.

Uriel’s eyes change to yellow; “Marina here are your children as promised.”

A bright light shines from Uriel’s body. Everyone looks surprised; “What is happening?”

Marina appears in front of her children; “Mis niños, it’s been so long…I’m sorry for leaving you alone…but I am here now...”

Marina makes her hands shine bright. Uriel looks at her; “Marina…don’t tell me you…are going to save them?”

Marina begins to heal both of them until they regain consciousness. Xochitl hugs Marina crying; “MAMA I MISS YOU SO MUCH”

Adihe also hugs his mother; “I’m sorry mother; I could not protect you or Xochitl”

“It’s alright, the only thing that matters is that you are here with me.” Marina smiles with tears. Adihe and Xochitl hug their mother tight. The others cry upon seeing a beautiful scenary.

“She waited 500 years to see her children…it must’ve been painful…” Kasumi comments as she stands next to Uriel.

At that moment, Marina begins to disappear as her hands become transparent. “MAMA, WHAT’S HAPPENING?” The children try to grab her desperately. “What happening Uriel?” Alejandro asks upon seeing the ghost disappearing.

Uriel sighs with his eyes closed; “She used the last portion of her mana to save her children…she gave her mana to them in order for them to live…”

“No…that isn’t right…is there anything we can do to save her?” Alejandro tries to walk forward, Uriel stops him shaking his head; “Mana transmission doesn’t work on spirits…let her have one last moment with her children…”

“Hijos, it’s time for me to go…now that I’ve seen you…my soul can rest in peace… I have one last request.”

She hugs them one last time and continues to speak: “Adihe and Xochitl please keep protecting yourselves. I will always watch over you, please you must live on and learn from this present. I can see there are still good people in this world.”

Dr. Escobar walks towards her; “I will watch over them in your place. I swear on my life that I will protect them.”

Marina smiles at her; “I can see you are pure in heart and experienced the same pain I felt. Please look after them.”

Marina slowly disappears, she looks at Uriel one last time; “ Uriel please… you must stop the keys from gathering or else it will be the end of this world.”

Marina begins to elevate to the sky disappearing; “Mis hijos…please take care…remember that I will always love you!”

“MAAAAAMMMAAAAA” Xochitl and Ahide cry for her as she fades away smiling in the sun.

Dr. Escobar hugs both of them; “I will protect you with my life, please smile for her, she smiled at the very end.” Dr. Ortiz puts his hand on the children; “I will protect you too as well, I swear on my life.”

From the bushes, a snake and a black cat go to where the kids are. The snake approaches Adihe:

“I’m really sorry…our wrath put you two in danger…please let us stay with you and protect you…”

“Quetzi…” Adihe grabs the snake with tears in his eyes. The black cat gets close to Xochitl:

“You are the last descendent of the Mexicas…it is our duty as the Guardian Gods to stay by your side…”

“Tezqui…” Xochitl hugs the cat. The four of them stay together.

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

In the Island of Dolls, the souls of the children’s souls begin to leave the dolls and move to the sky, one by one the dolls turn to ashes.

“Well done muchacho, I guess this will no longer be the Island of Dolls.” Bella chuckles looking at the sky:

“I guess, it’s time for us to meet face to face…”

Meanwhile Alexa has now the Golden Key and heads to the airport. She informs Juan who is out of the country. Alexa chuckles looking at the key in the container:

“Checkmate Uriel. I have the golden key.”

“Good job mija, now as for the reward you may choose a horse and take it as your own when you get home.”

Juan, who is on the phone, tells Alexa. Alexa makes a little girl’s voice:

“Gracias daddy, I miss you.”

“I miss you too, I will see you in a month… be ready because our next mission is in the Borderland…”

Juan hangs the phone, Alexa chuckles:

“The Borderland ehh, well now, this is going to be fun”

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

Uriel looks at Trueno; “Good job…you can return now…” Trueno opens a crimson portal and disappears. Uriel falls into one knee, Alejandro immediately goes to help him:

“Hey man, what’s wrong?”

“I used too much mana…I’m afraid, I won’t be able to stand by myself…”

Alejandro grabs Uriel’s arm and puts it over his shoulder; “Don’t worry dude…I am here to help you…”

Uriel chuckles; “Thanks…”

Leticia approaches Uriel and extends her arms; “You told me to give this to you when everything was over…”

Uriel looks at her confused, he smiles thinking; “I think it was Vasco who said that to her…”

Uriel extends his hand; “Thank you for taking care of it…” Leticia uses the opportunity to kiss Uriel on the cheek to the surprise of everyone.

“Leticia…how bold…” Ana chuckles. “GYYAAHHH” The twins screamed with excitement. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” Kasumi exclaims with her face all red.

“Uriel, thank you for saving me…I am forever in your debt…” Leticia smiles with tears in her eyes.

Uriel chuckles; “Don’t worry about it…I was just helping my partner…remember that we are currently on a field trip…besides…I promised you that I would keep you safe…”

“Right…”

“We must get out of here before someone arrives…” Antoine looks at Uriel. Uriel opens his eyes wider:

“I’m afraid it’s too late…we’re surrounded…”
