HISTOREA Clubroom

The music soon ended…Prom night was on a closure and the students began to leave the Gymnasium…Some decided to enjoy the after party and others decided to go home…

At the HISTOREA Clubroom…a girl sits on her desk with tears in her eyes…

“I’m such a loser…I can’t believe I lost him…” Tiwa puts her down and cries.

“Tiwa…I’m sorry…I couldn’t…help you…” Emma tries to comfort her.

“It’s not your fault…it was me who tried to push you so hard…I’m sorry…”

(KNOCK KNOCK)

“I’m coming in…” Uriel opens the door. He sees Tiwa sitting on her desk, in a corner with the lights off. Uriel enters the room:

“So…this is how the proud priestess of Ysleta finishes the dance? Pathetic…”

“SHUT UP! GO AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!” Tiwa shouts as she throws a book towards Uriel. Uriel dodges the book with ease; “Why are you crying about? I don’t understand…”

“Shut up…damn you…you and your sister…your sister stole him away from me…I hate her…I hate everyone…” Tiwa cries more. Uriel decides to sit next to her:

“You know…having feelings like those is something so normal…but you shouldn’t blame my sister…or me…or anyone in particular…”

“But…but…Alejandro chose her…” Tiwa lifts her head. Uriel puts his hand on her head; “He did…it’s normal to love someone and see someone choosing another…”

“Uriel…have you experienced this type of pain?”

“Of course…I had a lover named Serena…I was in love with her…however, she betrayed me and chose another man…after that…I closed my heart…”

“I see…” Tiwa looks down, Uriel continues to speak:

“But one day, I reached the reality and accepted the fact that she didn’t love me…and that’s normal…I decided to move on…”

Uriel grabs her hand; “Tiwa…you will suffer like me…but one day…you will accept the reality…”

Tiwa chuckles; “You know…I already accepted the fact that Alejandro loves Valerie…and not me…”

“That was quick…” Uriel makes a little smile. Tiwa stands up; “The truth is that I also love him…and I won’t give up on him…that means your sister is my rival…” Tiwa points at Uriel. Uriel stands up; “You know…that determined expression suits you…to be honest…I could care less…I will support you as your friend…”

“I will support you as well…” Emma shows determination as well. Uriel notices Emma’s presence; “I see…you have grown stronger in the past months Tiwa…Emma’s presence is more and more visible…”

“Really?”

“Indeed…I can almost see her…let me try this…” -STEP- Uriel makes a step; “Campo de la Canción (Song Field); Principio (Beginning)” Uriel creates a song field expanding all over the area.

At that moment, a blurry figure slowly appears in front of Tiwa. Tiwa opens her eyes wider as she sees herself; “What’s happening? Is this a mirror technique?”

“No…this is a special technique…” Uriel smiles a little; “Hello…Emma…” The figure waves at Uriel:

“Hello…Uriel…Tiwa…”

“E-E-Emma…how can this be?” Tiwa extends her hand, Emma does the same. Both of them open their eyes wider; “I can touch you…”

“This is a technique that expands the senses…I realized that using this technique…even souls can be manifested into a physical form…however, it’s not perfect…”

“Tiwa…I’m sorry I pressure you to come here…to be honest…I also wanted to have fun…” Emma tries to apologize, Tiwa shakes her head; “I had fun…I really enjoyed seeing you dance…thank you…Emma…”

“Tiwa…I will always be there for you…because we are one…” Emma starts to cry, Tiwa cries as well; “You don’t know how long I’ve waited to hug you…”

Tiwa and Emma share an emotional hug as it is the first time they can see each other physically and without any mirrors…

Uriel feels a strong sensation; “This feeling…it can’t be…” Uriel looks at the door at he makes a fist:

“Lucifugus…”

Tiwa and Emma feel the same sensation; “Uriel…let’s go…”

Uriel and Tiwa head towards an unexpected event…

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

Outside the Gymnasium…

At the door of the gymnasium…The members of M.A.G.I.C and Leticia have a final conversation…

“Is it true that you’re leaving?” Leticia hugs Ana tightly; “Leticia, I can’t breathe…” Leticia lets go of Ana; “Sorry…”

“Well…my sweet red head…we are going to leave back to our countries…” Angel puts his arm around Leticia, Leticia blushes and panics. -PPUUMM- Ana punches Angel moving him away:

“Get away from her you pervert…”

“Hahaha…ay hermano…trying to hit on her? She’s mine…” Crespo hugs her as well, Ana punches him as well and grabs Leticia; “Man, you guys are something else…”

“Amie…you’ve become popular with the guys…” Madeleine chuckles as Leticia panics; “Ehh…well…I-I-I ugghh…”

“I also heard from Chelsea that you are also leaving…right?” Marinette asks Leticia. Leticia looks embarrassed:

“That’s right, I was chosen to go and study in Japan…I will also leave in one week…”

“Fantastique (Fantastic)! You are a genius…” Marinette reacts with surprise. Leticia panics; “Oh no…I’m just lucky that’s all…”

“Hahaha…I’d say it’s quite the contrary…I believe that you search for that moment…right?” Antoine looks at Leticia, Leticia avoids looking at his eyes; “You’re right…but I do feel lucky…because I got to meet all of you…at first I felt unlucky when I was chosen to go to Mexico…but after those events… I met everyone…and I felt that I am part of something bigger…thank you….”

Ana hugs her with tears in her eyes; “No…I thank you for saving my life…I will miss you…mi amiga…”

Leticia has tears in her eyes as well and hugs her tightly; “I will miss you too…”

Marinette looks at Antoine with a serious expression; “Is something wrong?”

“Where is Marjorie?”

Marinette opens her eyes wider.

An emotional moment was taking place…as friends said goodbye…Little did they know about an event occuring at the same time…

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

After the dance…Valerie ran outside…Alejandro decided to look for her…as he walked searching for her…Alejandro felt pain in his left hand…

“This pain…I know that something happened to me…I know I saw Anastasia in the bathroom…but now…why does my left hand hurt so much?” Alejandro approaches the entrance of the school, he searches for Valerie:

“Where is she? Where did she run off to…”

Alejandro texts Valerie using his cellphone; “Valerie…where are you?”

(PPPUUMM)

Carlos punches Alejandro as he catches him with his guard down; “You bastard…going all romantic in the dance…” Carlos expresses anger as “flames of jealousy” surround. Chelsea opens a lollipop and starts licking it:

“Fufufu…you sure gave us a show there…Mr. President…”

Alejandro blushes; “Oh sorry…I was just caught up by the moment…that’s all…”

Chelsea gets closer to him and puts her hand on his chest; “You know…I respect what you did here…however, I disapprove that you came to the dance with Tiwa and danced with another girl, even worse…you kissed her…”

Alejandro thinks back as feels guilt, he scratches his head as he looks down; “Damn it…I ended up acting like that loser from that manga I read…the one where he rents a girlfriend…” Alejandro looks at Tiwa; “I know I messed up…I promise I will talk to Tiwa about this and…”

(BBBBZZZZ)

Alejandro receives a text message, he looks at the message; “Come to the Student Council Room…”

Alejandro opens his eyes wider; “Sorry guys…I have something to do…” Alejandro runs towards the Student Council at full speed.

“Hey wait…” Chelsea tries to stop him but she is stopped by Carlos; “Let that idiot go…come on, let’s look for Kasumi Senpai…”

“HA…HA…HA…” Alejandro enters the building and heads towards the Student Council Room; “Valerie…I’m coming…”

Alejandro opens the door, his expression looks calm and happy as he sees a girl standing next to the window. The moon shines down, illuminating her purple hair, making shine as if it was covered with sprinkles of water. She turns around and her eyes shine bright. She smiles at him:

“Hello…Alejandro…”

Alejandro blushes at first, he proceeds on entering the room, he closes the door and smiles:

“So…there you are…I’ve been looking all over for you…”

Valerie looks embarrassed; “I’m sorry…it’s just that I felt embarrassed and I didn’t know what to do…”

“Well…you did kiss me afterall…” Alejandro scratches his cheek nervously. Valerie “blows'' steam of embarrassment. Alejandro walks towards her; “Valerie…”

“DON’T COME CLOSER!” Valerie extends her hands. Alejandro looks confused; “What’s wrong? Why are you so afraid of me? Did I do something wrong?”

“No…you haven’t…it’s just that the truth is…I’m afraid of men…” Valerie begins to shed tears; “When I was young…on that night…the night of the catastrophe…something happened…”

Alejandro changes his expression to a serious one; “What happened?” Valerie continues to speak; “I was kidnap by men…there two of them and they…they wanted to rape me…”

“It can’t be…” Alejandro looks at her shaking as she continues to speak; “I can’t remember well…but I was saved…and still…I have nightmares…nightmares about that time…I can feel their hands touching and their tongues licking me…that’s why…that’s why…”

“That’s why you rejected my invitation…” Alejandro takes two step closer; “Valerie…tell me the truth…do you love me?”

(BBBAADDUUMMPPP)

Valerie opens her eyes wider; “EHHH?” Alejandro takes another step; “I’m being serious here…you know why? Because I love you…I’ve been in love with you since the first moment I saw you…No even before that…I’ve loved you all my life…”

“Don’t come closer…” Valerie takes another step back. Alejandro continues to walk forward; “Valerie…answer me please…I know that you know the answer…”

“I-I-I…” Valerie shakes as she feels fear and the feeling of being touched. Alejandro hugs her; “It’s okay…I will always protect you…forget about everything…feel my warmth…feel my heartbeat…feel my body…”

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

Valerie feels a great warmth, she stops struggling and lets herself be hugged by Alejandro; “This feeling…it feels so familiar…” Alejandro asks one more time; “Please…give me an answer…”

“I love you…I love you too…Alejandro…you’re the person I love the most…”

Alejandro smiles and tears come out of his eyes; “I love you too…”

Valerie hugs him back; “I’ve always been afraid of men…the only men that I always felt comfortable with were my father, Daniel and Uriel…they are my family and I will always love them…but when someone aside from them tried to touch me…I would beat them up…”

Alejandro chuckles nervously; “Well it’s a good thing you love me as well…”

“Hey Alejandro? Does this make us a couple?”

“Of course…will you be my girlfriend?”

Valerie looks at him with a great smile; “Of course…”

Valerie and Alejandro kiss one more time under the moon.

(BBBBOOOMMM)

Suddenly, the school begins to rumble. Alejandro and Valerie feel a powerful mana coming from the outside; “Alejandro…what’s happening?”

“I don’t know…but this mana…no doubt about it…it’s Uriel…” Alejandro and Valerie run outside, they see everyone running away. Alejandro looks at a pillar of mana:

“Valerie…over there…”

“That’s my big brother…something is wrong…” Valerie makes a pair of wings appear. Alejandro looks impressed; “Valerie…those wings…they’re just like…”

Valerie grabs his hand; “Come on…”

“WWOOAAAHHH!”

Alejandro and Valerie head towards the pillar of Crimson mana…

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

Near the Stadium; 10 Minutes Before…

On an alley next to the high school division, Marjorie follows Aleister…There is the wall of the school on the right side, and a tall fence that connects to the field on the other side.

Aleister has a tuxedo with a black tie…

“Aleister…when did you come back?” Marjorie asks him with a serious expression. Aleister chuckles:

“Marjorie…you have become even more beautiful during the months I was gone…”

Aleister walks closer to her and tries to touch her. -SSLLAAPP- “DON’T TOUCH ME!” Marjorie prevents him from touching her.

Aleister looks surprised at first, but changes his expression to a calm one; “What’s the matter? Aren’t you happy to see your boyfriend here?”

“What are you talking about? We’re no longer a couple…you broke up with me remember or do you have amnesia…”

(BBBAAADDDUUMMPP)

Marjorie takes a step back as feels fear looking at Aleister as a purple aura comes out of his body. Aleister begins to walk towards her, Marjorie feels frozen, as Alesiter gets closer to her. Aleister begins to touch her arm slowly, Marjorie feels scared and tears come out of her eyes. Aleister´s hands move to her hips, and go up to her back hugging her:

“Come now…you didn’t think I was serious right? I just needed to break up with you in front of Ian to make it believable for Alejandro…you know that I wouldn’t do that…”

“But still…you did break up with me…without asking me or thinking of my own feelings…that makes you a brute and an insensible man…”

“Tell me, do you feel fear for me?” Aleister whispers in Marjorie´s ears; Marjorie turns to see his eyes, the eyes look more red than usual. Marjorie shakes and responds with a fearful tone: “No… why would I fear you?”

“Well then, we did not have our last dance…” Marjorie looks confused. Aleister and Marjorie as they begin to move slowly under the light of the post.

“What’s happening? I can’t move my body…” Marjorie thinks as she can’t move her body freely.

Aleister and Marjorie dance in a waltz rhythm. He makes Marjorie put her head in his chest just as she did with Uriel. Marjorie is crying of fear, making Aleister notice:

“Aww, you´re crying, I know that this dance makes you sentimental because we finished high school, but don´t worry we will always be together.”

Marjorie opens her eyes wider in fear and tries to get away from Aleister, he pulls Marjorie and kisses her in her lips.

(SSSLLLAAPPP)

Marjorie struggles and frees herself, she slaps Aleister in his face:

“Listen, I don't want to be your girlfriend anymore! I want to break up with you!”

Aleister touches his cheek and laughs; “You, break up with me? On the last day of school?”

Marjorie looks angry at her; “That’s right, you’ve changed, and you look scarier than before why?”

“I’ve never changed, you are the one who changed…” Aleister looks at Marjorie with anger. Marjorie pushes him away. Aleister sighs; “Oh Marjorie, you and the other members of M.A.G.I.C are getting too involved with this case…”

Marjorie looks at him surprised, Aleister smiles; “Oh you didn’t know…I know who you are…I know your mission and I know who is part of your team…”

“So you knew about me and the others…”

“Of course…but that doesn’t bother me at all…what bothers me…is your romance with El Charro Negro…”

Marjorie looks nervous; “I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“I am not stupid; I know it´s Uriel the one you love, tell me!” Aleister demands Marjorie an answer in which Marjorie nods as agreement.

“Hahahah…excellent…that’s what I wanted to hear…now I can proceed in killing Uriel…” Aleister takes a step back and proceeds to walk away; “Thank you Marjorie…I will now kill your lover…”

Marjorie puts both hands on the ground; "Prison de glace" (Ice Prison) Majorie creates a road of ice and freezes Aleister in an instant; “I’m sorry Aleister…I can’t let you do that…”

(CRACK)

Marjorie feels a powerful mana emerging; “It can’t be…” -CCRRAASHHH- The ice prison shatters, blowing Marjroie away. Marjorie lies on the ground as she looks up; “Aleister…”

Aleister walks towards her; “You shouldn’t have done that…” -PPPUUMM- Aleister kicks Marjorie in the stomach; “GGGYYAAHH” Marjorie screams with pain;

Aleister begins to kick Marjorie screaming:

“You bitch, you will not break up with me, I will break up with you.”

“GGGYYYAAAHHHHHH” Marjorie screams of pain as Aleister steps on her, causing her to spit blood. Aleister grabs her by the neck and lifts her to the air:

“This is perfect…I needed a reason to test our skills…and she will make a great trigger…right…Uriel?”

Aleister turns to the left and sees Uriel standing in shock upon watching Marjorie bleeding. Marjorie opens her eyes; “U-U-Uriel…”

Uriel charges straight at Aleister to punch him with force.

(PPPPUUUMMM)

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

At that same time…Outside the Gymnasium…

“In the end…I didn’t get to dance with him…” Kasumi frowns with disappointment. Johanna chuckles; “Fufufu…that’s too bad…but Uriel isn’t the type of guy who dances…”

“I know…but at least…I wanted to have a try…”

“Kasumi…so…I heard that Shion is getting promoted…is that true?” Johanna asks Kasumi. Kasumi looks surprised and chuckles; “Oh Johanna…nothing can get past you right?”

Johanna smiles at her; “Well…that’s my job after all…”

“I will have to go the base in a couple of months to meet with Mr. Allen…I feel nervous leaving my children behind…”

“You don’t have to worry about them…I’m sure they can handle for themselves or did you forget about the whole incident with the Thunderbird?” *Story for another time

“You’re probably right…”

“Hello…Ms. Miyazono…Nurse Gomez” Kasumi and Johanna hear someone behind them. They turn around and see Olivia with Barbara walking towards them.

“Principal…did you enjoy the party?” Kasumi asks Olivia, Olivia chuckles; “It was lovely…now then…Barabara…”

“Yes ma’am…Ms. Miyazono…Nurse Gomez, we’re here by informing you that we will be terminating your contracts as professional staff in this school…”

“Ehh? Why?” Kasumi and Johanna look surprised. Barbara continues to explain; “Our installations will no longer continue to function starting today…”

“What are you talking about? Are you closing the school?” Kasumi exclaims, Olivia chuckles; “You’re correct dear…we’ve decided to close the school as we feel there is no longer need for it…”

“But the kids…what will happen to them?”

“I don’t think you need to worry Ms. Miyazono…you should focus on your real mission as a Yggdrasil agent…You should probably worry more on your own agents…” Olivia’s eyes turn bright yellow.

-TCH- Kasumi gets angry; “Damn you…” Johanna puts her hand on her shoulder; “Calm down…you don’t want to start a fight here…” Kasumi looks at Johanna and calms down.

Olivia chuckles; “Fufufu…it’s a good thing there is someone who has some brain in here…” Olivia and Barabara begin to walk away; “Well now…we shall be off…have a good…”

(BBBAADDUUMMMPPP)

The four of them feel a massive mana coming near the stadium. Kasumi looks at Olivia:

“Olivia, what’s the meaning of this?”

“Well dear…we have some trouble…”

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

The bright moon shone over a clear sky on the top of the Borderland…the wind was calm with no producing sound. The Clock striked Midnight…meaning that it is May 31st…and a new confrontation was about to begin…

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

Uriel is in shock upon seeing Aleister holding Marjorie’s neck.

“Uriel what's wrong!” Tiwa shouts as she rushes to his side. Her eyes open wider when she sees Aleister holding Marjorie; “N-N-No…Marjorie…”

Uriel´s eyes change into a crimson color similar to a beast; he makes a fist and disappears from Tiwa´s sight. Aleister senses Uriel, Uriel appears in front of him and tries to punch him.

(BBBBBOOOOMMMMM)

“What the hell?” Uriel is in shock to see Aleister stop his punch. Aleister punches Uriel. -PPUUMM- Aleister sends Uriel flying to the car, bending the door. Uriel begins to spit blood, Uriel breaths heavily as he begins to scream:

“YOU SON OF A BITCH, HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MARJORIE!!”

(BBBBBOOOOMMMM)

Aleister chuckles as his eyes shines brighter; “So, you thought it was going to be easy huh, Charro Negro.”

Uriel stands up and cleans up the blood in his mouth. Aleister makes a portal appear, several spector hands come out and grab Marjorie.

“MARJORIE!” Uriel shouts, Aleister walks towards him; “Now now…you see…Marjorie is going to be fine…I have no right to touch a member of Mages Association and besides, she belongs to me…”

“SHE DOESN’T BELONG TO YOU! YOU BASTARD!”

“No need to be so aggressive…how about we test our abilities…but let’s change the scenario…” With great speed, Aleister kicks Uriel, sending him through the fence and destroying the wall. Uriel flies towards the center of the Football field.

Aleister opens another portal and specters come out of the portal heading towards Tiwa; “I don’t want any interference…Shaman Priestess…”

Tiwa, who was still in shock, hears a voice; “Tiwa…snap out of it…you’re in danger…” Tiwa looks at the specters. Tiwa takes out her amulets; “Zuni…Suma…Jana…let’s go…”

“Right” Her spirits appear in order to fight alongside her.

At the center of the field, Uriel stands up as he breathes heavily; “What was that power? Was Aleister that strong?”

Aleister walks towards him; “No now…come on Charro Negro…don’t tell me that’s the best you have?”

-TCH– Uriel glares at Aleister, Aleister continues to speak; “As I mentioned before, I have no intention of fighting you…in fact, why don’t we join forces to take down my father? You and I can easily take him down…”

Uriel takes a battle stance; “I refuse…” Aleister shakes his head; “Such a shame…well then, how about you show me your skills in combat…but there is one rule…”

Aleister points at the sky and the portal opens, revealing Marjorie being held captive by the specter hands; “You can’t go into your Charro mode…that would be cheating…and if you do that…you won’t see her again”

“YOU BASTARD! YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME?” Uriel loses his composure. -CLAP CLAP CLAP- “Of course…you know, people live so seriously that they forget to have fun…and right now…how about we have some fun…”

Aleister and Uriel take a battle stance, there is no sound. Only the sound of a calm breeze passing through. Suddenly, both of them move at the same time.

(BBBOOOOMMMM)

Aleister and Uriel with great speed clash one more time. Uriel punches Aleister in the face. Aleister responds by punching him in the face as well. Aleister grabs Uriel and hits him with his knee in the stomach, Uriel feels pain however he responds giving Aleister a jaw hook.

(PUM PUM PUM)

Aleister kicks Uriel, Uriel grabs Aleiter´s leg and throws him away. Aleister lands on his feet and jumps forward, he uses his momentum and kicks Uriel. Uriel blocks the kick, and responds with another. Aleister blocks it as well and proceeds to punch him. Both of them continue to fight at great speed.

(PUM PUM PUM)

“Hahaha…if this keeps up, we will be here forever…” Aleister kicks Uriel’s feet, Uriel is unbalanced, Aleister is about to punch his face. Uriel punches the ground to jump back and grab some distance.

Uriel breathes heavily. Aleister chuckles; “Oh getting your distance ehh…well let me show you a trick that you won’t forget.” Aleister steps forward ready to punch Uriel. Uriel jumps back; “I need to…” Uriel opens his eyes wider as Aleister is right in front of him.

(PPPUUMMM)

Aleister punches Uriel in the stomach and sends him flying towards the end of the court. Uriel passes through the goalie court and crashes into the field goal post.

(CCCRRRAASSHHH)

The field goal post falls, shaking the ground. Aleister laughs; “Did you like that Uriel? It was a trick I learned back in Romania…”

Uriel stands up and spits our blood. He lifts up his head and makes a sinister smile; “Oh…so you want to show off huh…well, let me show you my new trick…”

“Campo de la Canción (Song Field); Coro (Choir)” Uriel creates sound waves, Uriel prepares to punch Aleister; “Concierto del Charro; Popurri” (Mariachi Art, Charro Concert; Popurri)

(PPPPUUMMM)

Uriel punches the air, suddenly, Aleister is sent flying to the other side of the field, going through the goalie court and crashes to the field post as well.

(CCCRRAASSHHH)

The field goal post also falls. Aleister comes out of the smokescreen walking slowly; “Impressive…let me ask you this…why do you fight so hard for her?” Aleister points at Marjorie:

“Does she remind you of Serena?”

(BBBAADDUUMMPPP)

“What did you say?”

“Oh did I hit a nerve? You know…back in Romania…Serena Draculus is considered impure…do you want to know why? Because I saw her…and she was…”

“SHUT UP!” Uriel screams as he releases a powerful crimson mana, his hair turns pinkish and her eyes turn red. Aleister looks at him; “Oh wow…now that’s so nice…show me your power…”

(BBBOOOMMM)

Aleister also releases an enormous amount of mana. Both of them stare at each other as their aura grows by the second. Without hesitation, both of them charge at the same time to deliver one last attack. Uriel and Aleister prepare their fist as they approach the center of the field.

“AAHHH” Both of them scream as they can feel each other’s aura. Suddenly, a giant shield falls from the sky, and lands in between both Uriel and Aleister.

(BBBBBOOOMMMM)

Both of their attacks collide with the shield creating a huge wind current, shaking the whole field and moving the post, blowing everything away. Uriel and Aleister are also blown away by the impact.

Both of them land on their feet, Aleister looks at the shield; “This technique, it’s her…” Aleister looks up and sees a woman falling from the sky, the shield turns into mana particles, and the woman lands in the middle.

Aleister stands up; “What’s the meaning of this…Barabara?” As the smokescreen clears, lifts her hand and blows away the remaining smoke, revealing a large crater in between the field. Barabara looks at Aleister; “Young master, you shouldn’t be destroying school property like that…Master Olivia is quite upset…”

-TCH- “Mother…” Aleister brings his aura down, he looks at Uriel and begins to speak; “Sorry Uriel, I got carried away…how about I let my servants finish you off…”

(SNAP)

Aleister snaps his fingers. At that moment, Uriel feels a large amount of mana and looks around. Uriel chuckles; “So that’s how it is…you want to finish me off…Aleister…”

Uriel is surrounded by 5 people. The 5 of them are wearing black robes with different tone colors; Black, Green, Red, Purple, Pink. Each of them has a skeleton mask with different colored stripes; Green, Red, Purple, Pink. Only one remains pure white.

“Now Uriel…you’re surrounded by my servants…my bodyguards, and my most powerful unit…we took the alias of El Muerto…A local legend of a ghost that appeared in this region but let me tell you our true name…we are the Sword of the King…in other words, we are Sabia Regueli”

“I see…so I can finally see all of you…your rhythm is off…that means you're using special objects to hide your presence so I won’t identify you….right?

“We are one…” The red stripe Muerto replies. The other two Muertos, the purple stripe and the pink stripe point at Uriel:

“We serve Master Aleister…we shall eliminate you…”

The green stripe creates a missile out of mana; “You shall fall under Sabia Regueli”

Uriel chuckles; “I see…so you have your little group huh? Hate to disappoint you…” El Muerto launches the missile towards Uriel. Suddenly, Tiwa appears and with her silver claws, cuts the missile in half.

(SSSSLLAASSHHH)

Tiwa looks at Uriel; “Uriel…are you alright?”

Carlos appears behind the Purple Stripe Muerto.-SSLLAASHHH- Carlos tries to cut him, but he dodges and jumps back. Carlos shouts with anger:

“HEY URIEL…WHY DIDN’T YOU INVITE ME TO THIS PARTY! IT’S MORE FUN THAN PROM!”

(BBBAANNNGGG)

A bullet attack the Pink Striped Muerto, he dodges it. Chelsea towards Uriel; “Fufufu…you sure know how to have fun…Uriel…”

From the skies, Valerie drops Alejandro who points at the Red Stripe Muerto. Alejandro grabs his arm; “Activate; Silver Mustang; Partial” Silver veins cover the right of his body. Alejandro gathers mana in his right hand:

“Silver Punch”

(PPPUUUMMM)

Alejandro punches El Muerto, who blocks it with his lance, pushing him back. Valerie lands next to Uriel; “Big Brother…you’re bleeding…”

“I’m okay…don’t worry…”

(CLAP CLAP CLAP)

“Hahaha…I see everyone's here…right HISTOREA ALLIANCE?” Aleister claps as his bodyguards stand in front of him. Uriel also chuckles:

“As you can see…you’re not the only one with a special group…” Tiwa, Alejandro, Chelsea, Carlos and Valerie stand in front of Uriel.

Barbara walks towards Aleister’s side; “Young Mater…are you trying to start a war?”

“As matter of fact…I do…” Aleister looks serious. He looks at Alejandro; “Hello…old friend? How’s your arm?”

“I am not your friend…” Alejandro shouts as he grabs his left arm. Aleister walks forward; “You know Uriel…I never finished telling you…when I saw Serena…she had a special message for you…”

“Serena? That’s…”

(BBBADDUUMMMPPP)

Valerie turns around and sees Uriel with a furious expression; “That name is taboo for him…”

Aleister notices Uriel’s fury and smiles; “She said…look up at the moon…” Uriel with great rage charges at Aleister; “AAALLLEEIIISSTTTEERRR”

“URIEL WAIT!” Alejandro who holds him from behind and Valerie who hugs him in front screaming:

“Come down Big Brother!”

Uriel´s body begins to heat up, burning Alejandro and Valerie. Uriel continues to walk forward without thinking of harming them.

“KKKKYYYAAAAAAHHHHHH URIEEEELLLLL!!!!!” Valerie screams. -BBAADDUUMMPP- Uriel hears her voice and sees Valerie burning; “VALERIE!” Uriel comes to his senses and immediately stops releasing mana. Alejandro, who is also burn lets him go and runs to help Valerie who is losing consciousness; “VALERIE!”

“Valerie…I-I-I…” Uriel sees her sister burned and sees everyone with a frightened expression. Carlos looks at Valerie; “Hey man…what’s wrong with you?”

“Uriel…” Tiwa looks at him preoccupied. Chelsea makes a luxurious gesture as she lick her lips.

“HAHAHA…YOU BURNED YOUR SISTER! WHAT AN IDIOT!” Aleister laughs as he shoots a beam to attack Uriel.

(PPPUUMMM)

Kasumi appears and blocks it with her katana; “Don’t let your guard down…Uriel…”

“Oh…teacher, what a surprise…” Aleister looks like Kasumi. Kasumi stands up straight; “Aleister…if you want a war…war you will have…but let me warn you…” Kasumi takes off her glasses; “I won’t go easy just because you are my student…”

“I expect no less from an Elite Root from Yggdrasil…”

(CLAP CLAP CLAP)

“That's enough…” Olivia walks in the middle of the field and she is soon joined by Barbara; “I won’t stand here to see this school get destroyed by some child’s play…”

-TCH- “Mother…” Aleister avoids looking at Olivia.

“HOLD IT…RELEASE MARJORIE AT ONCE!” Uriel shouts as he comes to his senses. Olivia looks at Aleister, the two of them stare at each other. Aleister sighs; “Fine…” Aleister opens a portal above Uriel. Uriel falls in Uriel 's arms.

“Remember this Uriel…Marjorie is mine and mine alone…one day, she will come to my arms from her own free will…because one day…” One of the stadium lights fall next to Aleister and shines bright; “Because I will be the ruler of this world…”

Uriel grabs Marjorie, as he looks shocked to see the shadow of Aleister, his shadow is huge with wings and horns. Everyone is in shock upon feeling his mana. Alejandro looks at Aleister; “Aleister, this was your true self all along?”

Olivia looks at Kasumi; Well then Kasumi I think it's time for all of us to go, am I right?”

“Very well…I do not wish to fight tonight… I will see you again Principal or should I say Olivia Lucifugus?” Olivia begins to laugh. Aleister and Olivia’s group slowly disappear in a giant portal.

Aleister and Uriel see each other with rage; “Uriel…with your level…you will never defeat my father…”

The group disappears, however, tension still remains. Uriel still looks angry; Katsumi turns around and slaps Uriel.

(SSSSLLLLAAAAPPPPP)

“What the hell is wrong with you? Are you trying to kill them?” Katsumi grabs Uriel from his jacket, looking furious at him with tears in her eyes.

Uriel looks at Alejandro holding a barely conscious Valerie; she has her gloves burned along with part of her skin, and face. As for Alejandro, the arms of his jacket burned as well, along with his face and skin.

“MARJORIE!” The members of Marjorie's group and Leticia run towards. Uriel puts Marjorie on the ground as she is covered in bruises. Antoine and Ana hold her; “Uriel what happened? Why did Aleister attack her?”

“I don’t know…but…I will give her first aid…” Uriel closes his eyes; “Curacion” (Healing) Bright mana shines as Uriel closes her wounds. Marjorie slowly opens her eyes; “U-U-Uriel…”

“Marjorie, please forgive me, I never should have left you alone.”

“D-D-Don´t worry Uriel, I am grateful that you helped me. Aleister really wanted to hurt me.” Marjorie begins to cry, Uriel hugs her. Uriel looks at Marjorie’s group; “Take her to a Hospital…hurry…”

“Right” Antoine carries her as her group runs towards the entrance with Marinette calling for an ambulance.

Uriel proceeds in going towards Valerie and Alejandro. Uriel heals their wounds with the serious burns disappearing; “I´m sorry…this is the best I can do…holy spells are not very effective…please forgive me… I lost control.”

“It's okay… Uriel, it's just a scratch.” Alejandro sits next to Valerie. Valerie cries and hugs him; “Please… Big Brother…don't ever do that again…you really scared me.”

“I’m sorry…” A tear comes out of his eye. Kasumi looks at Carlos and Chelsea; “Both of you…I trust that everyone evacuated the place…”

“We made sure of it…” Chelsea and Carlos reply, making Kasumi happy. Kasumi puts her glasses back on and looks at Uriel; “Uriel…”

“That was really scary right? Tiwa?” Leticia looks at Tiwa and notices her with a sad expression. Tiwa looks at them as she slowly walks away; “My work here is done…”

Johanna who was watching from behind the wall begins to think:

“Well, well, Aleister has much more power than what he appears.”

“Splendid…indeed…splendid…I knew it was important to be here… I’m so glad…now I have great material for my work…” A figure sits on the very top of the stadium, he is an overweight student with glasses and fingerless gloves. He continues to right with a feather and a scroll, as the moon shines bright, the figure is Stefan:

“What a marvelous show those two brought upon my wondrous eyes…I shall report this to my Master at once…”

(BEEP BEEP BEEP)

Stefan looks at his watch; “Oh it’s time for “Adult Swim” to begin…'' I can't wait for a new episode of my favorite anime…”

Stefan looks down at the field and smiles as he slowly fades away; “Until next time…my precious actors…”

Lucifugus Mansion

In the Lucifugus Mansion, Aleister walks in the entrance furious. Olivia is scolding him:

“What were you thinking, what if that boy released his power, you could have been killed, or worse you two would have destroyed this city?”

Alesiter turns around and grabs Olivia´s throat beginning to choke her. He smiles at her and has a friendly tone:

“Mother, if you ever intervene with my life again. I WILL KILL YOU!”

Aleister lets go of Olivia who begins to cough rapidly. Barbara runs to help her; “Mistress… are you alright?”

“I am…damn you Aleister…” Olivia glares at him. Aleister walks upstairs, Anastasia, now in her maids attire, stands next to him:

“Are you alright? Master?”

Aleister smiles at her; “Anastasia…how many times I need to tell you…”

(PPPUUUMMM)

Aleister slams Anastasia at the wall. Anastasia has a face with pain. Aleister chokes her as he passes his hand over her body; “I am your older brother…refer to me as Big Brother like you did to Alejandro…or is it that you really love him more than me?”

Aleister grabs her from her hair; “N-N-No…please forgive me…Big Brother…”

“Excellent…” Aleister lets her go. -COUGH COUGH- Anastasia coughs as she grabs her throat. Aleister walks away; “Also, you did well on the mission…your precious Alejandro only has two more days to live…”

Ministry of San Juan

After the events, Uriel took Valerie and Alejandro to the Ministry to have them cured by Sister Griselda…As Sister Griselda cure them in the secret room…Uriel had an encounter with Daniel…

(PPPUUUMMM)

(GGYYAAHHH)

Daniel punches Uriel’s face. Uriel hits the wall and falls to the ground. Mariana runs to help him:

“Uriel…Uriel…”

Abril stands in between them; “What is wrong with you?”

“Abril…Mariana get out of the way…” Fabiola shouts, as she and Estrella stand next to her, both of them look at her surprised.The sisters walk to the side. Uriel cleans the blood from his mouth. Daniel grbas his collar neck and slams him to the wall:

“You bastard…you promised me…you promised me that you wouldn’t get Valerie hurt…”

“...” Uriel doesn’t say a word. Daniel looks angrier; “Tell me…why did you hurt her? Why did she burn?”

“She was trying to stop me because I lost control…” Uriel apologizes, Daniel prepares to punch him one more time. Fabiola immediately stops him; “That’s enough…hurting him is not the answer…”

“Don’t interfere…Fabiola!” Daniel glares at her. Fabiola looks at him with tears; “Please…stop this…”

-TCH- Daniel lets Uriel go.

“D-D-Daniel…” Daniel hears Valerie. He looks to his right and sees Alejandro holding Valerie. Valerie, with tears in her eyes, walks forward; “Please don’t hurt him…it wasn’t his fault…please…I don't want my family fighting…”

“Valerie…” Daniel looks at her, Valerie falls into her knees. Abril and Mariana run to help her; “Valerie…”

“I’m fine…”

Uriel looks at her and Alejandro. He turns around and slowly walks away.

“WHERE ARE YOU GOING?” Daniel shouts. Uriel stops walking:

“I’m sorry…I lost control…and now you have to pay for my actions…but this will never happen again…I assure you…”

Uriel walks away with a sad expression.

June 2nd…Sun City

It’s been two days since the dance…everything seems normal…because school is over…Alejandro’s group decided to have a summer job for the meantime…waiters in a restaurant…

“Come on man, you’re so slow…” Carlos shouts to Alejandro. Carlos carries the tray of food. Alejandro, who looks sick, carries a tray as well; “Yeah…yeah…I’m sorry…I feel so weak right now…”

“That’s because you’ve been watching porn all night right?”

“Heck no…what is wrong with you?” Alejandro se disculpa con Carlos. Both of them serve the tables and work until it is 5 pm.

Chelsea also works at the restaurant in the kitchen. Alejandro enters the kitchen; “Aww man…I’m so beat…”

“Don’t tell me it’s the best you can do? The Silver Hero…getting beat by serving tables…” Chelsea chuckles as she serves new plates.

(CCRRAASSHHH)

“GGGYYAAHHH….” Leticia, who is dressed up as a waitress as well, trips and throws brakes on some plates; “I’m sorry…sorry…”

Leticia apologizes to the customer. Alejandro and Chelsea chuckle. Alejandro looks at Chelsea; “By the way…why are we working here? Weren’t we supposed to leave on Friday?”

“Of course…but Senpai wants you to be busy…don’t worry, you will leave with Leticia on Friday…” Chelsea explains the situation, Alejandro chuckles; “I see…that must be why I feel so weak…maybe I am just nervous…”

“You…nervous…that’s funny…” Chelsea continues to cook; “Let me tell you…that school where you will study is not child’s play…you will have to give it your all…”

“Hahaha…you know I always give it my all…”

“I know that…” Chelsea prepares another plate; “Have you talked with Valerie?”

“About what?”

“About your trip…you idiot…” Chelsea sighs, Alejandro chuckles; “I haven’t…I’m too sad to leave her…I mean she is the one I love…”

“I see…well, that makes you a chicken…”

“HEY DON’T CALL ME THAT?” Alejandro exclaims to Chelsea. Chelsea chuckles; “Here…” Chelsea gives Alejandro the plate. Alejandro grabs it, however, he feels weak.

Chelsea turns around; “So…are you really in love with…”

(CCCRRAASSHHH)

Chelsea hears a loud noise. She immediately turns around and sees Alejandro in the floor; “ALEJANDRO!”

Chelsea runs to help him; “This isn’t funny…come on…” Chelsea opens her eyes wider upon seeing his body covered in black veins; “It can’t be…”

“CHELSEA…WHAT’S WRONG!” Carlos and Leticia enter the kitchen and see Alejandro in the floor. Carlos runs to help him; “What happened to him?”

“It’s his body…his body is…” Chelsea touches his arm and sees that the mark of the key is shining and that Alejandro’s body is burning.

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

“Alejandro…stay with us…Alejandro…” Leticia grabs his arm, Carlos checks his pulse and notices that his heart is weakening by the second.

“It can’t be…he’s…he’s…”

Alejandro’s eyes turn hollow as his heart beats…

(BADUMP BADUMP….)

On that day…tragedy fell in the Borderland…as Alejandro’s soul…left his body…
