On the top of the building the guy in the mask meets up with Darius and Nathaniel Gonzalez.

He walks to them and says:

"The successor has arrived at the border land.”

Darius says:

“That's excellent, our plan is going well.” Nathaniel begins to smoke and asks:

“Should we worry about him killing the Chupacabras?”

“So what if he does?”

Darius says with a big smile. Nathaniel gets mad and says:

“Hey, that's my money for the protection taxes, come on.”

“Not to worry he won't , those creatures are hard to kill, hahaha.”

The man in the mask says to Nathaniel as a black hole opens in his feet and slowly gets into the hole.

Darius and Nathaniel also disappear because of the black hole.

Alejandro’s Memories; 5 years ago...

Uriel enters the classroom a boy jumps from behind and made him fall to the ground,

(BBBOOOMMM)

Uriel turns around, gets up and kicks his legs to make him to the ground as well.

“Man you are slow as always Uriel” The boy says to Uriel as he stretches his hand towards him.

“Damn Alejandro, that hurt me you know” Uriel says while he grabs his hand to stand up.

Alejandro Sanchez was an 11 year old boy who has short orange hair, his eyes are orange color, a thin body and his skin color is white. He is always next to Uriel, his best friend since preschool. Alejandro has complete trust in Uriel.

Uriel Vazquez was an 11 year old boy who had blue hair, green eyes and brown skin. He was a very joyful boy and really enthusiastic. He was always next to Alejandro.

Both of them play around as they go to their desks. Another person comes to greet them and he says:

“Good morning guys, you two are goofing off as always”

The boy says as he sits in his desks next to them. He opens his book to study.

“Good morning Raul, are you ready for the exam?” Alejandro says it as he puts his arm around Raul´s shoulder which causes him to almost drop his book.

Raul pushes Alejandro back to pick up his book to study; “Did you studied last night Alejandro?”

“No, I did not,” Alejandro replies. He puts his hand on his head sticking his tongue causing Raul to scream and throws his book to Alejandro´s face.

“Then study for God's sake!” Raul screams, making Uriel burst into laughter.

“It’s good to be your friend...Uriel...” “Yours too... Alejandro” Uriel says with a smile.

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

January 23rd; Ministry of San Juan

Two days later….

It's been two days since the attack, Alejandro lies on a bed sleeping, He slowly opens his eyes:

"I see you're now awake…"

Uriel says as he enters the room.

"U-Uriel is that you?"

"That 's right…"

"What happened to me?"

Uriel points at Alejandro's hand. Alejandro notices that it has a red cloak.

"What is this?"

"It's a seal, I don't know what happened to you...but you have been poisoned."

Alejandro opens his eyes wider. He remembers when he touched the key several days ago and the key disappeared.

Uriel sits in a chair and says:

"Tell me what happened in detail please…"

Alejandro lowers his head, he grabs confidence and says:

"I will...But first answer me this; Are you Uriel Vazquez?"

"...."Uriel doesn't answer at first.

"You look exactly like him, and you even have the same name. “Di Fiore” is from your mother, I know because I always spent time at your house when we were little."

"I see...so you know Uriel Vazquez…Hahahaha"

Uriel laughs, Alejandro gets angry:

"What 's so funny?"

"I'm amazed that's all, you seem to remember me well. You are correct I am Uriel Vazquez,at least I was…"

Alejandro cries; " I knew it…I always knew that you were alive my friend…"

He hugs Uriel, "Hey stop that…"

"Oh wow, just like the stories that Sister Fabiola reads…"

The girls say as they spy on Uriel and Alejandro.

Uriel pushes him away, Alejandro decides to tell Uriel everything.

After a few minutes…

"I understand...Now that I know about the Golden Key, I am predicting that you are now a target…"

"Wait what?" Alejandro is in shock, Uriel chuckles:

"Don't worry, I will protect you...from now on you will be leaving here in the Ministry, Father Clemente gave us permission…"

"Wait what?" Alejandro is speechless on what he just heard.

"Hey Uriel? Do you think I'm weird?"

"What's with that question all of a sudden?"

Alejandro changes his expression to a sad one:

“Ever since you disappeared, I’ve been desperately trying to find my friend...however everyone thinks I am weird and now I have nobody...even Marjorie who I thought was my friend betrayed me...”

Uriel stands up and looks at the window:

“You are weird...but that’s not a bad thing because you followed your beliefs and I think that’s the best thing someone could do...”

Alejandro looks at Uriel with joy:

“Hey Uriel, can we be friends?”

-Ehhh- Uriel sees Alejandro with puppy eyes, he scratches his head and si with his eyes close:

“We are not friends...but we are colleagues on this mission...”

“Mission?” Alejandro looks confused.

“You see, that key is essential to stop someone, and you're going to help me. My mission is to kill the man named Darius Lucifugus...”

Uriel changes his expression to a serious one, his eyes glare at the sky. Alejandro takes a gulp as he asks:

“Why Darius?”

“Because he was the one responsible for everything that happened 5 years ago...”

Lightning falls and it begins to rain heavily. Uriel lifts his hand and continues to speak:

“I will eliminate all evil in this land...quite ironic isn't it...”

Uriel turns to look at Alejandro:

“But until that day comes, let’s have some fun...from this moment on, I am a member of the SIS...”

Alejandro looks surprised; “Really? But why?”

“You are the only one that remembers me, plus you have that lay in your hand that makes you an easy target...we will figure out a way to get that key on your hand...”

“Seriously”

“That’s right...your suspension ends in a couple of days, when you return to school, come to the clubroom...you will see a great surprise...”

Uriel opens the door, "Keep the whole Charro thing a secret okay…"

“GGGYYYAAHHHH” The girls fall, Uriel leaves the room. Uriel walks down the hallway thinking:

“The Golden Key...that means the Legend of the Seven Cities of Gold exists...Father you were right...

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

January 29th, Sun City International Highschool

A couple of days later, Alejandro’s suspension was over, he was permitted to return to school, however he didn’t receive a warm welcome...

“Hey, it’s the guy who punched Aleister?

Yeah, I heard that he was suspended...

“What an idiot...”

Alejandro sighs as he hears everyone talking, he enters the classroom. He sees Marjorie, Marjorie takes a glimpse at him but later avoids looking at him.

“I guess, things will never be the same...”

“Good morning Alejandro, you’re looking well...”

Alejandro hears an unpleasant voice, he feels chills down his spine, he turns around and sees Aleister. Aleister has a bandage on his cheek where Alejandro punched him. He has two big students on his side.

“....” Alejandro doesn’t say anything, Aleister with a sinister smile says with a loud voice:

“Ah come on, don’t you have anything to say to me, after all, you’re the one who punched me... Apologize...”

Alejandro looks around, he begins to feel the pressure of his peers as they say:

“Yeah he should apologize...he assaulted him...Apologize...Apologize...Apologize”

Alejandro feels nervous as he thinks:

“What do I do? Everyone is looking at me...Maybe I should apologize...”

Aleister smiles as Alejandro is about to apologize.

(PPPUUMM)

Suddenly, Uriel appears and bumps into Aleister, pushing him away.

“Oh, I’m sorry...”

Aleister looks angry, the two students stand in front of Uriel.

“Hey punk...”

“Relax, it was just a bump, right Uriel...” Aleister looks at Uriel, Uriel stares back at him. Uriel walks towards Alejandro and grabs his shoulder:

“There is no need to apologize, because the president is a good person, he already forgave Alejandro a while ago right?”

Alejandro looks surprised, everyone looks at Aleister thinking:

“That’s right, our president is the kindest person...”

-TCH-“Whatever, I lost interest, and Alejandro, I forgave you a week ago, I was just playing with you my friend.”

Aleister smiles thinking:

“Damn you, Uriel...”

(RRRRIIIINNNGGG)

The bell rings and class is about to start.

“Thank you, Uriel...”

“No problem...”

Uriel goes to his seat, Marjorie walk to him and says:

“Good morning Uriel...”

“Good morning...” Uriel gives her the cold shoulder. However, Uriel feels his heartbeat raising as he thinks:

“Why is it my heart reacting to her...why?”

Kasumi enters the classroom saying:

“Good morning, class is about to start.”

She looks at Alejandro and smiles. Uriel looks at her and remembers what happened that night.

“Kasumi Miyazono, who are you really?”

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

In the last period, Alejandro walks down the hallway, he looks nervous as he is about to reach the clubroom.

“Now what? There isn’t anyone there...”

Alejandro shakes as he reaches the doorknob. However he doesn’t open it:

“What should I do? In this school it is mandatory to have an organization. Now that I don’t have one then...”

“Hey, why aren’t you going in?”

Uriel asks Alejandro, causing him to panic.

“Well, I...”

Uriel sighs and walks forward, he approaches the door and opens it:

“Come on, let’s go...”

As they open the door, Alejandro is shocked, the room has completely changed. The room is filled with books, it has a fancy table with chairs, the sunlight now shines in the room, and there are no posters.

The room has a sign in the top that says; “Historical Research Organization”

On the table there is a girl with brown skin sitting next to it. She has hair and green eyes, she has puffy cheeks.

-Hhmmpphh- “What took you so long, sheesh I got tired of waiting...”

“What did you do to the room, and who is this girl”

“What the hell, we have like three classes together, I’m Tiwa, Tiwa”

“Allow me to introduce you to the Historical Research Association. There are currently three members. This is Tiwa Smith, she is a Junior of this Highschool...”

“Heeeeeeellllllooooooo, I am a descendant of the great Ysleta tribe, I’m Tiwa de Ysleta...” Tiwa puffs her cheeks staring at Uriel.

Alejandro smiles at her; “I see, nice to meet you...but why did you change the room and the name....”

Uriel begins to explain:

“Allow me to explain, the SIS was banned, and because Tiwa and I didn’t have a club , we decided to form this club.”

“Really? Well I guess I don’t have a choice right...” Alejandro sits and grabs a cup of tea on the table. He looks at Tiwa and asks:

“So, why did you choose this club... I mean you look like the type that is popular right...”

“Well, You see....I...”

Tiwa plays with her fingers, acting shy.

“She doesn’t have any friends either, so she wanted to join you...”

“Oh, I get it now....”

Tiwa’s face gets red; “You get what...I told you I wanted a club besides...”

Tiwa acts shy again; “I am also interested in Paranormal activity...”

Alejandro smiles, Uriel begins to explain:

“The Historical Research Association has one objective; To investigate what happened 5 years ago in The Borderland...and to protect it from the beast known as the Sombras...”

"Sombras, you mean those beasts are Sombras?"

"That's right, those are beasts that still mana from people...they are vicious and powerful…" Tiwa explains, Uriel continues with the explanation:

"They are attracted to powerful manna and in this case, your left hand...that means that you are a target…"

"I kind of knew that…"

Alejandro scratches his cheek.

"The thing we fought the other night is not a Sombra...it's something far worse…"

"Oh really?"

"Sombras are spiritual beings and this thing had a physical body...I investigated a little and Tiwa told me the true identity…" Uriel says to Alejandro. Tiwa looks proud and explains:

"Now that you mention it, I did some investigation and found out that the monster is really…"

"A Chupacabras…" Uriel interrupts Tiwa, Tiwa looks at her with anger saying:

"Let me finish Uriel...sheesh…"

Alejandro chuckles, Tiwa sighs and continues to explain:

"The Chupacabras is a beast found in Southern Mexico, the fact that it's here is a mystery...either it came on it's own or someone brought it here…"

Alejandro stands up with excitement; “Oh wow, now this is exciting...our first task is to tigate about the Chupacabras...”

Alejandro raises his fist, Uriel makes a smile and bumps his fist. Alejandro looks at Tiwa who is embarrassed, she raises her fist with a shy expression and bumps with them.

“From today on, we are the Historical Research Association....”

The three agree, Uriel begins to think:

“Besides, I am also interested in Alejandro’s hand...that Golden key may be the thing I need to learn about my past...”

“I want that Golden Key... I will have it someday...” Tiwa chuckles as she drinks her tea.

Alejandro drinks from the tea as he smiles:

"Grandpa, Grandma...I’m truly happy because I found my best friend and I made a new one. I am not alone anymore...”

This is the birth of the Historical Research Association. The new club that will bring a massive turn of events that will forever change the Borderland...
