Meanwhile, at the secret base, the meeting about the plan was in motion…

“Two days ago, the town of Ascencio was attacked by the monster…” Shion explains as she shows Uriel and company the newspaper.

Muerte en Ascencio ( Death in Ascencio)

“So that’s where the Chupacabras went, it went to get stronger by feeding with other people.” Uriel says as he looks at the paper.

“You are correct, aside from Ascencio, two other towns were attacked.The information was the same; everyone vanished leaving their clothes behind.” Shion finishes explaining, Kasumi begins to say:

“Very well, so tomorrow, Uriel and I will go to the banquet, Chelsea and Carlos will be at a distance in order to perform backup. Shion, you will be on standby for medical assistance. Jairo and Rosa will remain here to keep us informed.”

Alejandro and Tiwa wait for their assignment; however, Kasumi finishes speaking.

“Hey teacher, you forgot about us…”

“No I didn’t, you two will stay here with Jairo and Rosa. It’s too dangerous for the two of you to go….”

“Huh…wait a minute...I can defend myself just fine…” Tiwa gets angry at her, Alejandro tries to say something but gets interrupted.

“Look, I know that you want to help but you are not part of Yggdrasil, if anything happens to you, it will be at your own risk, besides you are my students and I don’t want you to get hurt…”

Alejandro and Tiwa remained speechless. Uriel looks at Kasumi and asks:

"Kasumi, is the information you have accurate? Who gave you that information?"

"My friend Johanna and I do trust her…"

"Very well, I have no choice but to trust you…"

(BEEP BEEP BEEP)

"Kasumi we have a situation…" Jairo puts an image on the screen. In the image, everyone sees the houses on fire. The Chupacabras is holding Carlos who is covered in wounds and blood.

"Carlos…" Everyone is in shock, suddenly, a hooded figure appears on the screen.

"Greetings Yggdrasil, as you can see, your agents are weak. This young one tried to attack the Chupacabras; however, the boy was no match for him."

The hooded figure lifts his arm showing a beat up Chelsea.

"CHELSEA!!!!"

"Yggdrasil, may this serve as a warning, don't interfere with my plans…"

The hooded figure throws Chelsea to the ground. Without warning, three Sombras appear and begin to attack Chelsea.

"GGYYAAHHH SENPAI HELP!"

Kasumi heads to the door with anger, Jairo notices and with great speed, he grabs Kasumi.

"LET GO OF ME! I NEED TO HELP THEM!"

"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF! IT'S TOO LATE!

Kasumi struggles to get released, Jairo continues to speak:

"Even if you, you won't get there in time..we are too far away!"

Kasumi sheds tears of anger. Alejandro and Tiwa look horrified.

" Uriel, maybe you should…" Alejandro turns to speak to Uriel but he is not around.

"Huh, where is Uriel?" Tiwa asks Alejandro, everyone looks around but he is nowhere to be seen.

(BBBBBOOOMMMM)

Suddenly, an explosion occurs between the Sombras sending them flying.

The hooded figure turns around; "So you decided to appear, Charro Negro…"

The smoke clears revealing Uriel holding Chelsea.

" WHAT THE HELL! HOW DID HE GET THERE SO FAST, WE ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY!" Alejandro exclaims, looking surprised.

(RRRAAAWWW)

The Sombras try to attack Uriel.

(SSSLLLAASSHHH)

Uriel slashes the three Sombras, defeating them in an instant. He looks at the Chupacabras, the beast lets go of Carlos and charges straight at Uriel.

"Stop…" The hooded figure says to the Chupacabras, the beast stops and flies back.

" Why are you attacking us?" A hooded girl asks Uriel as she stands behind.

"This girl...I didn't sense her presence…" Uriel looks at the girl and responds:

"Because you attacked us…"

"But you are part of us…"

The hooded figure stands in front of the girl:

"Enough…"

Uriel grabs Carlos and Chelsea. He stretches his arm, he makes a red portal appear out of the blue.

"Charro Negro...I warn you once again..if you interfere with my plans...you will die…"

Uriel smiles and replies; "Good luck with that…"

Uriel crosses the portal. The hooded figure reveals his face. The face of a skeleton as he slowly disappears with the girl and the Chupacabras.

“El Muerto…” Uriel grins with excitement.

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

A portal opens at the hideout, Uriel comes out of the portal with Carlos and Chelsea. He lets go of Carlos and puts Chelsea on a bed.

"You need to hurry, she lost too much mana.She'll die if she is not treated…"

" Right…" Shion quickly runs to her side. She puts two talismans that has the kanji;

“マナ” ( mana) on the table. Shion closes her eyes and makes a hand sign, the talisman begins to shine along with Chelsea.

Carlos regains consciousness; “What happened? Where is Chelsea?”

Carlos sees Chelsea on the table, he opens his eyes wider.

“You disobeyed an order and attacked the Chupacabras. Chelsea was attacked by the Kage. Fortunately for you, Uriel was there to save you,”

Kasumi bows to Uriel, thanking him. Uriel doesn’t say anything. Carlos stands up and looks at Chelsea, he begins to shed tears feeling useless.

“Damn it, why am I so weak? Chelsea, please forgive me…”

Carlos begins to walk to the door. Kasumi stands in front of him and asks:

“Where are you going?”

“I need to take revenge...I will…”

(SSLLLLAAAPPP)

Kasumi slaps Carlos; “Please stop, you fool…” She hugs him with tears; “If anything were to happen to one of you...I wouldn’t forgive myself.”

Carlos calms down and with a somber expression, apologizes:

“I’m sorry...Senpai…”

“Don’t worry, I’m glad that both of you are fine…” Kasumi replies, she walks away as he wipes her tears and takes off her glasses:

“Carlos, for your actions, you will be suspended from this mission, tomorrow, you will remain here with the others.”

Carlos cries out of frustration; “I understand…”

Tiwa pulls Alejandro’s arm and whispers; “ Let’s talk outside…”

Uriel opens a portal as he says; “Kasumi, I will wait for you at the Ministry, if the information is accurate, the Chupacabras might attack tomorrow at the Mayor’s banquet.”

After having received Kasumi’s orders, Tiwa and Alejandro walk down the street disappointed.

“Aww man, I really wanted to help out...were we supposed to be a team?” Alejandro puts his hand on the back of his head.

“I know how you feel, Ms. Miyazono should give us more credit, I mean, I am a member of the Ysleta tribe…”

“Yeah, yeah, but that doesn’t help us right now…”

Both of them sigh with their eyes closed feeling disappointed. Suddenly, Tiwa opens her eyes with excitement.

“I GOT IT!!”

“Mhhh...You got what?”

“Listen...I just came up with a way for us to be there…”

“Really?”

Tiwa pulls Alejandro close and begins to whisper in his ear. Alejandro opens his eyes wider and exclaims:

“That’s brilliant Tiwa, you sure are a genius..”

Tiwa blushes; “Well, I am smarter than you…”

“Hey shut up…”

Tiwa shuckles, she and Alejandro continue to walk.

On the other side of the street, Angela Conte stands behind a light pole. She saw Alejandro and Tiwa together as she thinks:

“Is that Alejandro and Tiwa? It can’t be…are they dating?”
