At the same time....
Standing in the tallest building of Rio Grande City, Tiwa, the Last Shaman of the Ysleta prepares to take action...
“Oh man, this is so hard...I can’t concentrate here…” Tiwa says as she looks at the Giant Sombra moving towards the Ministry. “Sss...Mistress Tiwa, here is your violin…” Jana appears with a beautiful brown violin.
“Thank you Jana…” Tiwa grabs it and with a nervous feeling, takes a deep breath and says; “Here goes nothing…”
-♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫-
Tiwa begins to play the violin, soon sound waves begin to head towards the city, and giant musical notes begin to appear. Tiwa has her eyes closed in order to feel the rhythm.
“Come on...focus...focus…” Suddenly, she misses one note; “No…”-BADDUMMPP- Tiwa falls into her knees breathing heavily; “This is so tiresome, at this rate, Tiwa touches Uriel’s Charro Hat.
She remembers that Uriel gave it to her; “Take my hat, with it, you will gain manna from me, it should be enough for you to use your melody to stop the Sombras…”
Tiwa’s face turns red thinking; “This is embarrassing, if I use it, it would be as if he and I would become one…”
(RRRRAAAWWWW)
Tiwa looks at the Sombras heading her way, and the giant Sombra moving the Ministry; “Hoot...hoot...Tiwa, use the hat, you have no other choice…” Suma the owl says to Tiwa. Tiwa sighs with her eyes closed; “Oh alright...I am going to use it but please cover me…”
“Right…” Her spirits agree at the same time. Tiwa takes a deep breath and slowly puts her hat on. At that moment, Uriel who was sucked in by the Giant Sombra, opens his eyes. Tiwa begins to change her appearance as red flames envelope her body.
Tiwa’s appearance changed into a suit that consists of a long embroidered black skirt, reaching the ankles, a white dress shirt, chaps, serape and a red pitea belt. Her hair is a ponytail with a red ribbon; she has a long tuft on the right side of her face, and she wears a Mariachi Sombrero. She also wears the traditional black charro jacket embroidered with flower patterns.
“This power, it is so warm...Uriel’s mana is…” Tiwa’s eyes change into a red color, she prepares to play once more. Tiwa closes her eyes and chants; “Estilo del Mariachi, Melodia secreta de Ysleta; Purificación de las Almas” (Mariachi Style, Ysleta Melody, Soul Purification.)
-♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫-
Tiwa once again plays the melody, she emits powerful soundwaves that expands towards the whole city now. People who were in panic stopped and listened to the song. The Sombras notice that melody and begin to suffer. Some of them head towards Tiwa’s direction.
“What’s happening, this song...it’s so beautiful…” The sisters say as they look at the sky. Sister Carolina, who is defending the Ministry, notices the Sombras to slowly disappear; “I can’t believe it...who is doing this?”
“So the Native girl is the one behind this…” Coyote comments as he and Father Clemente follow the Giant Sombra.
“NOO...NOO...MY VENGEANCE WILL BE RUINED, STOP HER!” Calakmul orders the Sombras to attack Tiwa.

Giant musical notes begin to appear and the dark sky slowly begins to shine thanks to the stars. The Giant Sombras release arms towards Tiwa.
“Mistress…” The three spirits defend Tiwa.Tiwa continues to play her violin thinking; “You can do it focus...focus…”
Keep going...Tiwa, everything is up to you…
“Uriel is that you?” Tiwa asks without talking, Uriel continues to move forward searching for Estrella; Yes it’s me...I need you to purify the Sombras...use as much power as you need…
“Mmmpphh...Don’t tell me what to do...I am a proud member of the Ysleta…”
Yeah...yeah...I’m counting on you…
Tiwa smiles as she continues to concentrate, -RRRRAAAWW- “There are too many…” Zuni says as they defen Tiwa. -TCH- Tiwa opens her eyes; “My spirits won’t keep up…” Sombras continue to attack her, at that moment a lance flies towards the Sombras and destroys them completely.
“Oh my...what a beautiful tune you have...Tiwa…” Tiwa looks to her left and sees a beautiful woman with red hair; “Wait...you’re Uriel’s mom…”
“That’s right, just call me Maria...now don’t worry my child that I will protect you…” Maria extends her arms and releases mana, the mana turns into wind that takes the form of lances.
“Lanzas Divinas de Viento” (Divine Wind Lance)
(SSSLLLASSSHHH)
The wind lances destroy the Sombras in a blink of an eye. Tiwa looks at her surprised thinking; “She’s really strong and pure...I can’t believe she is Uriel’s mother…”
-♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫-
Tiwa’s melody purifies the Sombras. One by One, the Sombras turn into mana particles and the particles head to the sky.
“The monsters are disappearing…” Abril states with excitement. -YYEEAHHHH- People cheer as they see the Sombras get purified. Sister Carolina begins to pray; “Thank God…”
The city shines in a golden color as the souls of the Sombras who were once influenced by Vengeance… are now Alebrijes (Guardian Spirits) from different colors and disappear in the sky.
“You’re doing it Tiwa, keep going…” Maria says with excitement as she continues to defend Tiwa. Tiwa with her eyes closed communicates with Uriel; “I’m almost finished here...what about you?”
***************************************************************************
“Why is it so dark? Why am I alone?” Estrella says as she floats in pure darkness. The image of her parents getting killed passes through her mind. Estrella cries; “No...mama...papa...someone...I don’t want to be alone...I am afraid of the dark…”
Estrella slowly disappears in the darkness; “Maybe it’s better this way...maybe, I should just disappear from this world, nobody will miss me…”
“Mmmhhpphh...that’s just dumb…” Estrella hears a voice, the voice a young man. She opens her eyes and sees a figure approaching her, he has red eyes causing Estrella to feel fear.
“No..stay away…”
“Estrella...snap out of it…” The figure grabs her hand, Estrella soon sees that the figure is Uriel; “Who are you mister?”
“I am El Charro Negro…Uriel Di Fiore…” Uriel responds to Estrella, Estrella remembers the man who saved her that night; “Are you the one who saved me the night my village was attacked?”

Uriel shakes his head denying it; “No...that was my predecessor…”
Uriel and Estrella float in the darkness; “Please let me go mister...I deserve to disappear…”
“Estrella, you can’t die like that...because, someone will be sad..”
“Who?” Estrella asks with a face full of hope, Uriel replies; “Naomi, you’re friend…”
“Naomi, that’s impossible, she died…”
Uriel sighs with his eyes closed; “No she isn’t, she’s alive and she asked me to save you…”
“Really?”
“Yes...you know, I was once like you, I felt that if I died, nobody would care...I didn’t remember who I was...I just wanted to disappear…”
Estrella looks at Uriel and asks; “What made you change your mind?”
“I found a woman who made a promise to me that should be my mother...and two kids who promised me to be my siblings as well...they are a handful but...thanks to them I don’t feel like that anymore…”
“Really? Do you think I could find someone who could make me feel that way?”
“To be honest...I don’t know but think about it...would you rather be here in the darkness...or go with me and find out…”
Estrella remembers the times she spent with her mother and father, the happy times that make her smile. She also remembers the Chupacabras that kept her safe for three years. “Maybe, I can find someone like them…”
With tears in her eyes, Estrella hugs Uriel; “Mister...no...Uriel...please save me…”
Uriel holds her and says; “Very well...I am going to use my power to free us from here...close your eyes and be brave...trust me…”
“I will…” Estrella closes her eyes, and holds Uriel tightly. Uriel hears the voice of Tiwa;
“I’m almost finished here...what about you?”
“I am done as well...Tiwa focus your mana…” Uriel releases the melody that Tiwa is playing outside the Sombra. The melody begins to purify the Sombra, Uriel uses the opportunity to chant; “Bellum” (War)
He releases crimson mana in every direction. “It’s so hot, Uriel...I’m burning…” Estrella says as her cloak begins to burn. “Bare with me...it will take 5 seconds…” Uriel continues to release mana with great strength.
(RRRAAAWWW)
The Giant Sombra approaches the Ministry. Sister Carolina prepares her lance; “This is bad...if we don’t do anything…”
The Sombra stops and red mana begins to come out with force. The Sombra begins to disintegrate at high speed. Suddenly, the Sombra explodes without causing any damage.
(BBBOOOMMM)
Calakmul looks in shock; “NOOO MY PLAN NOOO!!!”
A smoke screen is all that is left from the giant Sombra. Father Clemente, Coyote and Daniel arrive at the Ministry. Father Clemente looks at the smokescreen; ‘What happened to Uriel?”
Soon, they see a figure walking towards them, as he comes out of the smokescreen, Uriel walks carrying Estrella in his arms. Estrella is covered by Uriel’s mariachi cloak.
“UURRRIIEELL, EEESSTTRRREELLLAA” Mariana and Naomi run towards them.
Uriel walks towards the Ministry, Carolina smiles and cries; “Thank God…”
“Haha...That’s my boy…” Father Clemente cheers. “Wow, Jefe's brother is so cool…” Apá says with excitement as the Chuco Clan agrees.
Uriel hands over Estrella to Sister Carolina, Naomi looks worried; “Is she alright?”
“She is...she lost consciousness…Sister Carolina, please take care of her…” Uriel replies, Naomi quickly runs and hugs him; “Thank you...for saving my friend…”
“HHHEEYYY, DON’T DO THINGS LIKE THAT!” Fabiola screams feeling jealous. “She’s right...Uriel belongs to me…” Victoria says as she comes out of the Ministry and hugs Uriel.
Fabiola looks at her with a red aura coming out; “No...he doesn’t…”
“Ahh...youth...I miss it so much,” Father Clemente laughs.
“Nice work Brother…” Daniel says he walks towards him, Uriel makes a little smile;
“No...Thank you for helping me…”
Officer Rodriguez walks towards Uriel with the help of Flor; “Uriel...thank you for keeping my daughter safe…”
Uriel nods in agreement; “I only fulfilled my promise...that’s all…”
“Father...can I marry Uriel?” Victoria asks Officer Rodriguez, everyone looks at her in shock;
“WWWHHHAATTTT?”
Uriel sighs with his eyes closed as he says; “This is getting complicated…” Everyone begins to laugh.
Meanwhile…
At the tallest building, Tiwa takes off the Charro hat and breathes heavily; “ Oh my, this was more difficult than I thought, even with the help of Uriel…”
“Lady Tiwa...you did an Excellent job” Her spirits congratulate her. Maria walks to her side; “Excellent work Tiwa...I must say that you are a strong Shaman...you managed to purify the entire city....”
Tiwa blushes and turns her head; “Well it’s only natural...I am a proud member of the Ysleta tribe…”
“How about we go with the others…” Maria grabs her hand. Tiwa stands up and smiles; “Okay…”
“So what are we going to do now? Do we erase the memories of the people in the city?” Daniel asks Father Clemente, Father Clemente nods and replies; “It’s for the best...I don’t want anyone to remember this nightmare…”
Uriel suddenly feels someone approaching, he calmly looks at Victoria who is holding his arm; “Victoria, please go inside now...everyone go now…” Uriel stands up and turns around to face his foe.
Calakmul walks towards the Ministry, he slowly walks there screaming; “WHY, WHY DID YOU DO THAT? THAT WAS MY REVENGE...I WANTED TO DESTROY THIS CITY AND THE NEXT ONE AND THE WHOLE WORLD...BUT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO STOP ME!”
Uriel looks at Daniel; “Hey brother…”
“Yes… I know, I have it ready...now go…” Daniel gives Uriel a triangular device. Uriel with great speed attacks Calakmul. -SSSLLLAASSHHH- He stabs Calakmul with his sword, Calakmul throws up blood as he laughs; “Do you think that is going to stop me?”
Uriel smiles; “No...I just wanted to get closer to do this…” Uriel throws the triangular device
to air, the device is a teleportation device.
“UUURRIIIEEELLL!” Tiwa screams as she and Maria run toward the Ministry. At that moment, red mana shines and teleports both Uriel and Calakmul to another area.
