(SSLLASSHH SSSLAASSHHH)

Carlos is left fighting Flood. Flood is very quick and she is able to move at great speed. Carlos throws kunais at her, however, every kunai passes right next to her.

“Hahaha, ♪-you can’t hit me-♫” Flood makes fun of Carlos. Carlos loses his temper and begins to scream; “WHAT THE HELL, THIS ISN’T A GAME YOU KNOW!”

“Hahaha, sorry, but I am having fun.” Flood replies with excitement. Carlos gets even angrier:

“Fun? You think this is fun? You think killing people is fun? What the hell is wrong with you?”

“Nothing is wrong with me...it’s just...when you see so many deaths, it becomes comical you know…”

Carlos stops moving as he thinks; “This girl is a psycho...and it makes me angry…” Carlos releases his dark blue mana, Flood stops moving as she asks:

“Ooohh….are you going to show me a new trick?”

“You could say that, I am about to show you my real weapon…” Carlos slowly lifts his arms, -CCCLLLAAPPP- Carlos claps one time and slowly separates his hand, summoning a black katana with blue edges.

(SSSHHHIINNNNGGG)

Carlos moves it around and grabs it with both of his hands.

“Wwwooaaahhh...what a nice sword…” Flood says with excitement.

“This is my katana, it’s called; Kurohariotsubame” (Blue Swallow)

“What a long and weird name...but okay, I guess...I can play with you more…”

Carlos takes a deep breath as he thinks; “Alright, I calculated well...this time, you won’t escape…”

(SSSLLLAASSHHH)

With great speed, Carlos approaches Flood and cuts her hood. Flood escapes by jumping back; “How did you do that?” Carlos doesn’t respond and closes his eyes. With his eyes closed, Carlos imagines Flood positions with his next attack, pin-pointing each of them.

“Danza del Gorrion” (Swallow Dance)

(SLASH SLASH SLASH)

Carlos attacks Flood with speed, Flood evades the attack thinking how is he doing that. Carlos sees each of the Flood’s positions, when she arrives at the last one. Carlos kicks Flood and sends her to a boulder.

(BBBBOOOMMMM)

Carlos takes another deep breath as he thinks; “Successful” Flood slowly stands up as she expresses anger; “You...how did you do that? I know my ability is activated...each attack of yours should've been multiplied ten times...even breathing would be difficult…”

Carlos falls to one knee as he begins to breathe heavily; “Of course it’s difficult...I can barely keep my consciousness...however, I only adjusted my body so I can move freely…”

“You what?” Flood tries to move, Carlos appears in front of her.-PPPUUMM- Carlos kicks her once more. Flood crashes to the mountain again, making boulders fall. Carlos jumps back as the boulders fall on top of Flood.

“Ha...ha...ha…at least it's over…” Carlos says with a smile. Suddenly, the earth shakes and a thick mist spreads.

(BBBBOOOMMMM)

A burst of mana creates a massive air current. Flood comes out walking slowly as she chuckles; “You know, if I didn’t have my “Mana War Suit”, I’d be dead…” Flood puts her two hands together and slowly begins to gather mana.

Carlos opens his eyes wider; “What the...what are you doing?”

“I am called Flood because I increased the physical and spiritual abilities surrounding me by ten-fold, but that also applies to me as well…take this…” Flood launches a powerful sphere towards Carlos. Carlos evades the attack, however, Flood appears and kicks Carlos, sending him towards the mana sphere.

(BBBBBOOOOOMMMM)

The manna sphere explodes the moment Carlos touches it. A powerful smoke screen mixes with the mist making it harder to see. Carlos lies on his back as he looks at the sky; “I can’t see a thing…” At that moment, Flood jumps on top and lands on Carlos, breaking two of his ribs.

“AAAHHHHH” Carlos screams as blood comes out of his mouth. Flood kicks Carlos with force sending him to another part of the mountain.

(CCCRRAAASSHHHH)

Carlos breathes heavily, he stands up and grabs his katana. “I can’t lose…I won’t…” Carlos charges straight at Flood; “Oh you still want to play…” -SSSLLLLAASSHH- Carlos slashes Flood, however, only her hood. Flood creates another mana sphere close to him; “Game over…”

“Noo…” Carlos opens his eyes wider. -BBBBOOOMMM- The sphere expands creating a huge explosion. After a few moments, Alejandro falls to the ground, as he was hit directly by the attack.

Carlos looks at the sky once more as he breathes heavily; “Damn it, I guess, this is the end for me…” Carlos slowly closes his eyes as he remembers:

“Hey Carlos, let’s go hiking...it’ll be fun…” A boy similar to Alejandro however, he had white hair and bluish eyes.

“Big Brother Max, I guess, I am going to be seeing you soon…”

“Hey Carlos...what are you doing?” Carlos hears a feminine voice; “Chelsea?” Carlos hears Chelsea’s voice; “You joined Yggdrasil because you want money to help your family...and I joined because I was forced to by my father...but truth is, I also want money...that’s why we’re here…don’t die on me...”

Carlos opens his eyes; “Damn it, of all the people I could think of...why was it you, Chelsea? Idiot…” Flood walks slowly towards him; “Is he dead? or not? I wonder…”

Carlos stands up as he thinks; “That’s right...Max would be disappointed, we lived in poverty, yet, he always smiled...If I die now, then, who’s going to help my family? I decided to join this organization because I want money…” Carlos takes a deep breath; “I WILL SHOW YOU...THE POWER OF THE SWALLOW!”

(BBBOOOMMMM)

Carlos releases an enormous amount of mana, Flood jumps back; “What the hell? Hey, you cheater, you were supposed to be dead…” Carlos chuckles; “Dead? Me? Don’t joke around, I am the strongest member aside from Senpai...besides, I need money…”

“Money?” Flood scratches her head. Carlos lifts his katana; “You said that when I’m around you, power overflows like a flood ehh...that’s perfect, because this technique requires a lot of power…” Carlos grabs his katana with his two hands and lifts it to the air. His body begins to boil and blue mana comes out in the form of flames.

“What the...who are you, the Blue Exorcists?” Flood asks surprised, Carlos chuckles; “You know, I like that manga...however…” Carlos moves one leg forward and bends it a little thinking; “Gather all of your strength to these next movements…” Mana comes out of the sword like blue flames, Carlos takes a deep breath:

“Técnica Secreta; Aleteo del Gorrión del Zafiro…” (Secret Technique; Sapphire Swallow Flap) -SSSSLLLLAAASSHHH- Carlos swings his sword down releasing a powerful attack of blue flames. “GGGYYYAAHHH” Flood releases mana sphere towards the flames, however, the flames absorb the attack.

“No...my attack…” Flood jumps into the air evading the flames. - BBBOOOOMMM- The flames create a giant hole in the mountain. Flood lands in another part; “This is bad, if he touches me, then I’m…”

“YOU WON’T ESCAPE…” Carlos appears behind her. -TCH- “I broke my left arm with that movement, but it doesn’t matter...I will finish this…” Carlos turns his sword, the katana’s blade is on his back as he prepares to swing one more time. Flood nervously thinks:

“No...with my ability, he should’ve broken his bones already, I am Flood...everything overflows near me...but he...he managed to control his manna and movements perfectly, if he is a genius…”

“NO, WAIT…” Flood shouts scared. “Too late…” Carlos makes his final attack.-SSSSLLLLAASHH- Carlos makes a horizontal slash, however, the blue flames go on top of Flood. The mist clears a little revealing a giant cut in the mountain behind them.

“Y-Y-You missed?” Flood asks with a shaky voice. Carlos sighs; “Of course I missed...that attack is only meant to kill Kage, not humans, I was ordered not to kill you…however…” Carlos grabs Flood and makes a powerful head bump knocking flood unconscious. Flood falls into the ground, her mask falls off, revealing a young girl, similar to the age of Carlos.

Carlos, breathing heavily, thinks; “A girl huh...I guess you are doing the same as me....Be grateful, I really wanted to kill you...but at least, I am satisfied now…” Carlos falls on his back as he looks at the sky; “For you...Jairo, I made it...Chelsea, I wonder how are you doing? I need to get back to Senpai, but I need to rest for a moment…” Carlos chuckles as he closes his eyes.

Carlos vs. Flood...the winner...Carlos Valverde….
