Advertisement
Meanwhile in a building next to the restaurant, El Muerto and the hooded girl are looking at the events in Rio Grande City.
“So what are you going to do EL MUERTO?” The hooded girl asks as she looks at the building catching fire for the battle. El Muerto begins to walk slowly and to see the events:
“I think my pet needs some help, I never imagined that Charro would team up with Yggdrasil.”
El Muerto walks to the edge and lifts his hand with the index finger pointing to the sky. A huge portal begins to form, at the portal spirits wearing purple cloaks, no feet, claws and skull faces begin to charge straight at the building.
“Suflete spectre” (Translates: Specter souls)
The specters head towards the building. El Muerto looks at the girl and says:
“Now call some of your friends…”
The girl walks forward and takes out a flute. “Vengan, mis spiritus” (Come, my spirits.)
-♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫-
At that moment, a couple of Sombras begin to gather around the building where the restaurant is located.
******************************************************************************
“What’s going on? The building is surrounded by Kage?” Shion says as she heads to the street.
The Chupacabras begin to attack, Kasumi and Uriel are fighting it at the last floor...Shion, try to stop the Kage from attacking people.
“Right…” Shion begins to run with talismans on her hand.
Meanwhile…
A few floors below the restaurant, Nathaniel and Alberto head to the elevator, Tiwa follows them.Sombras appear and try to attack them.
(RRRRAAAWWW)
“You fools, I’m the mayor, protect me…”
Nathaniel and Alberto walk backwards as they try to protect themselves. The Sombras charge straight at them.
(PPPPUUMMM)
Tiwa appears wearing her disguise and stops the Sombras.
“Get into the elevator now…”

Nathaniel and Alberto get into the elevator. Tiwa removes her wig and smiles:
“It’s time to get some action...Suma, Jana…”
Suma the owl, and Jana the serpent appear to the side.
“Suma, fuse now…”
“Right…”Suma’s mana begins to transfer to Tiwa’s, Tiwa opens her eyes as they change to the yellow color. The Three Sombras prepare to attack Tiwa. Tiwa lifts her hand, and cretaes silver colored claws.
“GARRAS DE ACERO” (IRON CLAWS)
(SSSLLLAASSHHH)
Tiwa slashes two of the sombras, killing them instantly. One Sombra remains and punches Tiwa. Tiwa flies to the wall.
(PPPUUUMM)
“Ah..ah..ah” Tiwa falls as she breathes heavily; “Damn...I let my guard down…Jana…”
“SSS...RIGHT…” Jana’s mana begins to fuse with Tiwa, Tiwa opens her eyes revealing a change of color to white. On her left arm, a rope in the shape of a serpent appears.
The Sombra attacks once again. Tiwa swings her arm, the rope wraps the Sombra tight.
“Abrazo de la Víbora…” (Serpent’s hug)
(RRRAAAWWW)
The rope squeezes the Sombra. The Sombra tries to break free, but it can’t. Tiwa laughs; “The more you squeeze, the tighter the rope will be…”
The Sombra slowly turns into mana and disappears. Tiwa takes a deep breath; “That was easy…”
“TIWA, CAN YOU HEAR ME…”
Tiwa grabs her ear; “Yes, I can hear you...this communicator is cool…”
Tiwa, listen, there is another Sombra below, where Alejandro is heading…
“SAY WHAT!!!” Tiwa begins to run towards the stairs; “Damn it...I hope I can make it in time…”
*****************************************************************************
“HA..HA...HA…” Alejandro, Marjorie, Victoria and Officer Rodriguez run as fast as they can towards the lower floor.
“Papa, what is happening?” Victoria asks with a shaky voice. “I don’t know hija, but we must get out of here…” Her father replies as they reach the next floor.

They walk slowly as they notice that it is empty. Alejandro who is holding Marjorie’s hand walks slowly thinking:
“What should I do? There is no one who can protect us here…”
(RRRRAAAWWWW)
Suddenly, a Sombra appears behind Victoria’s father. The officer turns around and pushes Victoria aside.
(PPPUUUMMM)
The Sombra punches the officer, sending him flying to the wall and causing him to lose consciousness.
“PAPA” Victoria runs to her side. The Sombra heads towards Alejandro and Marjorie. Alejandro who is afraid, thinks; “WHAT DO I DO? DO I RUN?”
Alejandro turns to see Marjorie who has tears in her eyes, and makes him think; “No...I promised Uriel that I would protect her with my life…”
The Sombra tries to attack Marjorie, but Alejandro steps in. The Sombras punches Alejandro away.
(BBBBOOOMMMM)
Both of them fly away. Marjorie loses consciousness, Alejandro breathes heavily and says:
“Marjorie...are you okay?”
“ALEJANDRO RUN AWAY!!!” Victoria screams at Alejandro, the Sombra heads towards Alejandro.
“What should I do? What should I…”
(BADUMP)
“Use the key...the key…”
Alejandro stands up, he begins to remove the bandage on his left arm. The Sombra attacks him one more time.
(COUGH COUGH)
Alejandro coughs up blood. He stands one more time, he walks at the Sombra. “Think, think...you can do it...Uriel mentioned that I can use mana...focus…”
Alejandro begins to gather mana onto his hand. Victoria looks surprised at what she is seeing. Alejandro makes a fist, his eyes turn hollow. Alejandro feels that someone is behind him, the old man with the Native American attire is behind him as he says:
“Young one...the golden key...use it…”
Golden mana comes out of his fist; “Focus, just like a Space Ranger attack…”
“AAAHHH” Alejandro charges at the Sombra; “It may sound cheesy but take this; Golpe de Plata” (Silver Punch)
(BBBBOOOMMMM)
Alejandro punches the Sombra with force releasing an enormous amount of mana immediately disintegrating the Sombra.
“Yes, I did it…”
“That was a golden punch, why did you call it silver?” Victoria exclaims, Alejandro feels like a boulder with the word; “Lame” falls onto his head.
Alejandro chuckles; “Well, when we were young, I was the Silver Space Ranger...Besides, I had no time to think of a name okay…”
(BADUMP)
Victoria blushes as she sees the light shining above Alejandro; “He looked so manly…”
Alejandro falls onto his knees, the pain in his hand gets stronger; “Damn it...I guess this is a side effect…”
“Alejandro behind you…” Victoria warns Alejandro. Another Sombra appears behind him.
(SSSLLLLAAASSHHHH)
Tiwa cuts the Sombra and makes it disappear; “Man, you’re slow.” Tiwa puts her hand on her ear; “This is Tiwa, Alejandro and the others are safe…”
Jairo: Excellent, you must escape before the building collapses…
Alejandro stands up and carries an unconscious Marjorie. Tiwa helps Victoria carry her father.
“You’re Tiwa right? What are you doing here?” Victoria asks Tiwa, Tiwa makes a smirk; “Right now...saving your life…”
They continue to walk downstairs...

Domain of Man
Isolation is terrible. To feel isolated with your fellow man around you is worse. What if you were dumped in some backwards cave somewhere, completely nude, maybe with your family, or even completely alone? The age of pioneers, heroes, generals, and geniuses is long gone. Humankind has become numb to the world around it because of how paltry everything else is compared to the glory of its history, the sheer volume of their accomplishments, and the sum of its innovations. You can interact with people across the world, travel miles in mere hours, and never prepare your own food or shelter, and it's all accessible to even the normalest of individuals. Artificial intelligence is within arms reach in devices and computers and even houses, and neural interfaces aren't exclusive to the rich and powerful at this point. Someone far in the distance took notice of Earth, saw the multitude of hairless apes swarming its surface. That one went down the checklist to see if humanity had, in fact, beaten the 'game' of Life. Sure enough, they had gone above and beyond the requirements, but nobody had been watching. 'Why might that be?', that one wondered. Protocol was protocol, though, no matter how strange the situation was. They pulled the lever, they flipped the switch. It's time for New Game +. ???
