Sun City; Yggdrasil’s Headquarters

The hideout was intact, despite the restaurant being destroyed. Rosa Gutierrez (member of Yggdrasil) looks at the monitor. She looks at the time as she thinks; “The operation will begin in 20 minutes...Oh lord, please, let them be safe…”

“So, the fight will begin...huh…” Rosa hears a voice, she immediately takes out a gun and points at the darkness; “Who’s there…” Uriel slowly come out with his hands on his pocket:

“Sorry...I didn’t mean to scare you…”

“You’re...Uriel Di Fiore…” Rosa expresses surprise, Uriel stands in front of her; “It's a pleasure, Rosa Gutierrez, I believe this is the first time we have spoken directly…”

“What are you doing here?”

“I came here to get the World Tree Seed…”

“The World Tree Seed...why? How do you know about that object...it’s forbidden for anyone who is not a member to touch it…”

“I need it for Alejandro…”

“For Alejandro? No...it’s too soon...if he were to touch it now...we would…”

“Alejandro’s dying…” Uriel interrupts Rosa; “What did you say?”

“Indeed he is…” Heidi says as she walks towards them. Rosa sits on her chair with tears in her eyes as she asks:

“What do you mean by dying?” Heidi begins to explain; “Alejandro was under a spell...he used the golden key’s power and now, the poison has spread all over his body, burning his internal organs, he has only 2 hours to live…”

“N-N-No...it can’t be…” Rosa cries as Heidi continues to explain:

“The World Tree Seed, is a divine object that reconstructs the body...if Alejandro were to absorb it, there would be only a 20% chance that he would survive...the object is behind you, on that vault...There are only 3 people who know the code...one of them is dead...the other is not around and finally you…”

Heidi looks at Uriel; “It’s like I said, I can’t open the vault but she can...Rosa is the one who will decide Alejandro’s fate…” Uriel looks at a devastated Rosa, he walks towards her and gets into one knee; “Mrs. Gutierrez, I understand how you feel...he is my friend and I don’t want him to die...if there is a chance that he could survive...I would take it…”

“Uriel, I see him as my son...I never wanted him to suffer like this...but it’s too dangerous, if he absorbs it...his life will never be the same…and he might die...what should I do? There has to be another way...”

“That’s what he wants, you know him more than I do...he hates normal life, that’s why he focuses on the paranormal...so please, I beg you...let us have the Seed…” Uriel asks Rosa.

(BEEP BEEP BEEP)

The monitor beeps, everyone looks at the monitor as red dots appear on the city; “What is happening?” Rosa puts live images on the camera and they see the Navajo Warriors attacking the people.

“The Navajo warriors that the boy revived are now attacking the people...they approached in a silent way that the sensors didn’t detect them...it looks like they are abducting them…” Heidi says as she bites her nail; “That boy is about to begin the ritual...we ran out of time…”

Heidi looks at Rosa and asks; “So, Rosa...what’s it going to be?”

Rosa looks at Uriel and Heidi as the computer continues to beep.

Secret Hideout…

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

“NDRO...ANDRO...ALEJANDRO...ALEJANDRO…” Alejandro hears a voice and slowly opens his eyes. He sees Valerie and Tiwa looking at him with a worried expression; “Valerie, Tiwa...what happened? Why can’t I feel my left arm?”

“...” Tiwa and Valerie don’t say anything. Alejandro looks that his arm is frozen, he begins to chuckle:

“This is so cool...my arm is completely frozen, I always wanted to feel something like that?”

Tiwa and Valerie look at eachother and chuckle. Alejandro gets confused; “What’s so funny?”

“Alejandro, you’re in a critical situation...yet, you look so amused...it’s hilarious?”

“Wait...I’m in a critical situation?” Alejandro panics causing the girls to laugh more. Alejandro also laughs; “Yes...of course I know, I can feel it…I guess this is the end of the road for me…”

Suddenly a portal opens, Uriel and Heidi cross the portal; “Ahh, so you’re awake…”

Alejandro looks at Uriel and Heidi; “Uriel...who is that woman?”

“My name is Heidi Muller...I am the Vice-Director of the American Branch of Yggdrasil…” Heidi replies to Alejandro. Alejandro gets surprised; “Really, that means that you are my boss...I’m sorry for my rude behavior Ms. Muller...”

“Fufufu...no need to be so formal...Call me Heidi…”

“R-R-Right…” Alejandro replies thinking; “She’s so beautiful…” Uriel walks forward and hears his rhythm; -BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP- Alejandro with a worried expression asks; “Be honest with me...how much time do I have left?” Uriel sighs; “Judging by the rhythm of the soul and the mana that spreads to your body...you have 1 hour…”

The girls are in shock, Alejandro nods in agreement; “I see...well then, I guess this is the end...you know, I remember what I did these past days...the way I treated Anastasia...and how I used her...what a worthless piece of scum I am…” Alejandro cries with tears in his eyes. Valerie steps forward:

“It wasn’t your fault...you were being controlled”

“Controlled…” Alejandro interrupts Valerie; “No, I did that on my own free will...I could feel it...I feel so ashamed...I think it’s better if I just died now…”

Uriel steps forward and grabs him by the neck and lifts his body. “UURRRRIIEELLL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Valerie exclaims as Tiwa and Heidi look at him surprised. Alejandro has trouble breathing; “W-W-What are you doing?”

“You said that you wanted to die...so I am just helping you with that…'' Uriel says as he creates a mana barrier surrounding them so no one can interfere. Uriel continues to speak:

“Now listen you idiot...You said that you made such horrible things right? You betrayed Anastasia, the only girl who was loyal to you and left her to die...I believe that you are a coward...wanting to die like this…”

(COUGH COUGH)

“You don’t understand, I am a sinner…”

Uriel lets Alejandro go. He creates a sword and points at him; “You know, everyone has their sins...yes you made a mistake...but what are you going to do? Are you just going to die like that? Or are you going to save an innocent girl who was just following orders?”

Alejando begins to remember Anastasia, the way she never left his side and how she was always there for him, to the point that he began seeing her as a friend. Alejandro begins to cry; “You’re right...you’re right...but I am weak...I’m so weak, that I let myself be controlled…and now she is going to die”

“You say that you are weak, but that’s okay...remember that you are the Silver Hero…” Uriel throws him a badge of a Silver Space Ranger with Alejandro’s name. Alejandro looks at it and remembers:

“I AM THE SILVER SPACE RANGER...ONE DAY, I WILL STRONG AND BE THE SILVER HERO…”

Alejandro slowly stands up, breaking the ice. Tiwa gets worried; “Alejandro, don’t do that...the ice…” Alejandro smiles; “It’s okay...I am dying anyways...Uriel, I am weak, but I want to save…” Alejandro begins to fall forward, Uriel holds him:

“Not so fast, you said that you are weak, and if you go like that, you won’t be able to do anything…” Uriel helps Alejandro sit on the bed as he dispels the barrier. Alejandro, breathing heavily, looks at him; “What can I do?”

“Alejandro, remember that you are a member of Yggdrasil and that you have the right to use this…” Heidi, who is holding a case, puts it on the bed and opens it. “What is that?” Tiwa asks as a bright light shines in the suit-case.

Heidi smiles; “This is the World Tree Seed, Alejandro, this is the only way to save you...Your life is ending, and not even a miracle can save you... the only is to completely change your body, if you succeed, then the poison within your body will disappear…”

“Really?” Tiwa asks with excitement. Heidi continues to explained; “However, that process can be fatal...many of Yggdrasil members have died within the process...that’s why, you needed to train your body but we have no time....but instead of 0%, you will have 20%...the Tree Seed will fuse with you, Alejandro, will you accept?”

“I do..” Alejandro accepts without any hesitation. Heidi smiles; “Very well, take a deep breath and touch the seed. Alejandro takes a deep breath, he touches the seed. The seed shines a bright white color as it begins to fuse with Alejandro.
