Yggdrasil 's Base…

At the secret base…Uriel opens his eyes and makes the flames disappear. He walks to the door and leaves the room in perfect condition as if nothing happened…

“UUURRIIEELL” Valerie and Tiwa scream as he enters the main room; “What did you learn?”

Uriel acts normal; “I talked with my predecessor and he said that we must use the key at dusk…”

Kasumi steps forward; “ I see now…very well…we will assign the team and…” Uriel stops her; “No…this is matter that Yggdrasil doesn't need to be involved…”

“What did you say? Alejandro is one of us you bastards…” Carlos steps forward and grabs Uriel by the shirt neck:

“I understand your concern but Mictlan doesn’t fall into Yggdrasil’s territory right?”

Kasumi gets angry; “That’s not the point…here…he is someone very important and that’s why…”

“That’s why I will go alone…you don’t know what lies in Mictlan…Kasumi, I don’t want to lose you or anyone else…” Uriel looks at her in the eyes. Kasumi blushes as she avoids looking at him:

“W-W-Well…but if you insist…”

“Damn you Uriel…” Carlos bites his shirt out of jealousy.

“Very well…then I shall accompany you…” Tiwa steps forwards; “I have knowledge over that realm so I will go…”

“No…I will go alone…”

(PPUUMM)

Tiwa tries to attack Uriel, but he blocks it; “Uriel…you should have faith in your conrads…”

“I shall go as well…” Anastasia steps forward. Tiwa glares at her; “NO YOU WON’T…YOU MIGHT JUST KILL HIM…”

“I won’t…I will save him…” Anastasia and Tiwa glare at each other. Valerie steps forward; “Enough…I will go and save him…”

The three of them glare at each other. Uriel sighss with his eyes closed; “Very well…I will be taking you three to Mictlan…”

“REALLY?”

“That’s right…but there are some things that I must tell you…” Uriel looks at everyone and eplains:

“The time in Mictlan and the time here is different…one day in Mictlan is one month here…and the more time we spend over there…the more will be part of that world…we have three days…Alejandro is now 1 day ahead of us…that means we got to save him in two days…in other words…we’ll gone for two months…”

“Two months?” Everyone looks with shock. Tiwa go prepare your stuff. Kasumi, you and your team prepare as well. We don’t know who might attack over those two months…”

“Right…don’t worry about it…” Kasumi nods in agreement. Uriel opens a portal; “Anastasia, Valerie come with me…” He looks at everyone as he walks towards the portal:

“I will see you guys tomorrow…at the CIBOLA Cemetery at dusk…”

Uriel closes the portal along with Valerie and Anastasia. Chelsea walks towards Kasumi:

“Senpai, are you sure this is alright? I mean Alejandro is a member of Yggdrasil right? Shouldn’t one of us go?”

“I’m afraid…it’s something that I can't decide but my higher ups…and besides…” Kasumi looks at Tiwa who is at the door, leaving as well:

“There is no one who cares more about him than those three girls…”

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

June 3rd; Ministry of San Juan…

Uriel. Valerie and Anastasia arrived at the Ministry…they explained the situation to Maria and the others…Maria was skeptical at first and didn’t want them to go…however, at the end she agreed…everyone had dinner together…they went to sleep…Anastasia slept in Estrella’s room…on the next morning…

(BBZZZ BBZZZ)

Uriel’s phone rings. Uriel, who is preparing for his mission, answers; “What do you want?”

“Oh my…acting all tough and cold…that’s what I like about you…”

“What do you want, Johanna?”

“Oh nothing…just waiting for you to call me and tell me about your little mission…”

“Why should I tell you?”

“Because I am your betrothed…am I not?”

“No…you’re not…now tell me the truth…”

“Remember that you owe me a favor…Uriel…and now you are going away for months? That’s not part of the deal…”

“Even if I help you with that…you couldn’t even touch it…this mission has also another purpose…”

“Oh yeah…and what is it?”

Uriel tells Johanna another mission. Johanna chuckles; “Fufufu…you convinced me…very well…I’ll talk with my superiors and I will see you in a couple of months…but don’t forget…you need to compensate for the wait…muah…”

Uriel hangs the phone. He proceeds to head towards Valerie's room.

Valerie’s room is located on the second floor…on the far right…next to Daniel’s room…Uriel walks down the hallway…

Uriel sees Daniel standing outside the door. Daniel looks at Uriel; “Uriel…we need to talk…”

Uriel nods in agreement.

At her room…Valerie combs her hair as she looks at the mirror…

(KNOCK KNOCK)

Uriel enters the room; “Valerie…we’re almost ready to go…”

“Okay…big brother…I am just finishing combing my hair…”

“Valerie…you understand that this is a dangerous mission right? There is a 10% success rate…and if we fail…you will be trapped in Mictlan forever…”

Valerie stands up and walks towards him, putting on a confident expression; “Don’t worry Big Brother…I can handle it…”

Uriel notices her trembling. Uriel sighs with his eyes closed; “Very well…” Uriel approaches her and hugs her for the first time. Valerie is surprised; “Uriel…what are you doing?”

“Valerie…a long time ago…I made a promise to both you and Daniel that I wouldn’t let anyone harm you…and yet…I was the one who harmed…I’m sorry…”

“Big Brother…why are you…” At that moment, Valerie feels pain in her abdomen, she tries to break free as tears come out of her eyes:

“Big Brother…what are you doing? Why?”

Uriel lets go of her. Valerie takes a few steps back. Uriel has an injection in his hand:

“I’m sorry…but I can’t let you go…I won’t let you die…”

“Uriel…why…I love Alejandro….I should go…” Valerie falls into her knees as she feels weak.

“Don’t waste your energy…”

(HAA…HA…HA…)

Valerie falls completely to the ground, she is looking blurry as she tries to heal herself. Uriel walks towards her:

“I promise that I will bring him back…this is the last time you will see “me”...Goodbye…my dear little sister…” Valerie looks up and sees Uriel smiling at her with tears in his eyes. Valerie cries:

“Uriel…please….”

Valerie closes her eyes, Uriel carries her and puts her into her bed, he wipes the tears of his face:

“It 's done…”

“Thank you…it’s for her best…” Daniel enters the room and sees her; “That serum will have her unconscious for two days…she will alright…”

“I see…very well…I entrust to you…”

“Uriel…is it true that you will…”

“It’s true…” Uriel looks at Daniel; “The next time we see eachother…we will be enemies…be prepared…”

“I will…it was a pleasure…Big Brother…” Daniel and Uriel shake hands for one las time.

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

Outside the Ministry…Uriel and Anastasia prepare to depart…Uriel says goodbye to everyone…

“Take care girls…it was really nice to see you all…” Uriel says goodbye to Mariana and Abril. The girls cry as they hug him. Uriel looks at Estrella, he goes and pats her head:

“Estrella…keep training until you are able to control those powers…”

“I-I-I will…”

“I won’t say goodbye…because I will see you someday…” Fabiola acts like a tsundere. Uriel pats her head; “Keep taking care of them…you are the Big Sister afterall…”

“I-I-I will…” Fabiola turns away as tears come out her eyes. Uriel walks towards Father Clemente, Sister Carolina and Sister Griselda:

“Thank you for everything…I have a favor to ask all of you…the next time I come here…make sure that you keep this safe…”

Uriel proceeds in giving his ring to Father Clemente; “I stored half of my power in that ring…when I return from Mictlan…I will search for it…make sure you don’t give it back…”

Father Clemente grabs the ring and nods in agreement; “I’ll swear upon my life…”

“Uriel…please take care…” Sister Carolina grabs his hand as she expresses concern. Uriel nods at her:

“I’m sorry…for being a burden…”

“You will never be a burden…in fact, I thank you for all your help…” Sister Carolina with tears in her eyes hugs him; “I will miss you…”

“Uriel…I know it’s difficult for me to say this but…please…don’t give in to darkness…” Sister Griselda expresses concern. Uriel chuckles as he walks towards Maria; “My path lies in the darkness.”

“Hijo…please…come back alive…” Maria hugs Uriel tightly. Uriel hugs her back:

“Thank you for being my mother for all these years…I promise that one day…I will pay you back for your kindness…”

“I don’t need you to pay me everything…I just want to see you again…my son…”

Uriel opens a portal as he walks towards Anastasia. Anastasia looks at them; “You have such a kind family…I envy you…”

Uriel looks at them and sees Daniel looking at him from the window of his room. Uriel chuckles; “I do…however…this is a weakness…”

Uriel and Anastasia head towards the cemetery.

Tiwa’s Apartment

On the South side of Sun City, there is a sector filled with apartments. The rankings go from basic to luxurious. In the luxurious apartments called “Diamond Apartments” room 329, a beautiful girl with blonde hair lives there…At the room…everything is deserted, the last shaman priestess…Tiwa de Ysleta prepares for a mission…

“This is the best ice cream we ever had…” Tiwa eats a whole bucket of icecream as she looks at the television.

“It was delicious Tiwa…I’m glad we got to eat this…”

Nostalgia enters Tiwa as she prepares for her departure.

“I guess…this is the last of it…” Tiwa finished packing her stuff into her boxes. She proceeds into walking towards the window:

“This is the last time I will see the sun…”

“Don’t say that…we will come back together…” Tiwa hears the voice of another soul that resides within her. Emma is the real holder of the body:

“Tiwa…we will travel to Mictlan to save him…to save the person you love…”

“We are…but you don’t have to come with me…I can tell Uriel…and…”

“No Tiwa…we are in this together…”

“And so are we…” Three spirits emerge from Tiwa’s amulets. Suma the Owl, Jana the serpent and Zuni the Coyote.

Tiwa smiles as tears come out of her eyes; “You guys…we are the last of the Native American…and we will come back…”

“Of course we will…Mistress…we will always be with you…”

Tiwa grabs her amulets and walks towards the door, as she walks, she remembers everything she’s been through. Tiwa smiles as she takes a step forward an slowly closes the door:

“It was a great second life…Thank you…everyone…”

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

CIBOLA Cemetery

A long time ago, the Cibola tribe lived in peace with nature. Thanks to the rich mana, their temples and buildings…the Tribe became extinct and the Pueblo disappeared…Now…the only thing that’s left is a location Several Kilometers away, in the middle of the hills. A cemetery was located in between the mountains, the cemetery has a sign that says; CIBOLA…

Yggdrasil placed a couple of tents outside of the cemetery…In response to Kasumi’s petition…Allan Carter sent a couple of agents…to monitor the location…There is a tent located in the middle…that tent has Alejandro who has several machines connected to him as they monitor him…

“Aww man…this place always freaks me out…” Chelsea feels shivers as she looks at the cemetery. Carlos laughs; “Oh come on…don’t tell me you’re scare of ghosts?”

(PPUUMM)

Chelsea hits Carlos with her elbow; “Oh shut up…”

“I see you two are getting along…good to see that…” Carlos and Chelsea see someone coming out of the tent and immediately stand firmly:

“Of course…H-H-Heidi-san…”

Heidi smiles at them; “No need to be so formal…please help the agents on the back,”

“Right…” Carlos and Chelsea hurry back.

Heidi Muller (Age 28) is a beautiful red-haired German woman with white skin. She has a well-developed body, and average height. She is the vice-director of the American branch of Yggdrasil. She is also Allan Carter’s wife.

“Thank you for sending some backup…Heidi-san…” Kasumi approaches Heidi. Heidi smiles; “Well my little pheasant…I can’t let you down can’t I…specially if it involves those two…”

Kasumi looks at the tent where Alejandro is being stationed; “You have my thanks…” Kasumi bows down, Heidi chuckles; “Oh don’t do that dear…remember that here in Yggdrasil…we’re a family…and we always look for each other…right?”

Kasumi smiles and nods in agreement; “I wish we could also go…but…Allan-san said that we couldn’t…”

“Unfortunately…we can’t interfere with the land of the Dead…however, it’s a good thing we have Uriel and Tiwa with us…I decided to leave 10 Upper trunk agents here…they are experts in monitoring and they are also doctors as well…”

“Thank you…Heidi-san…” Kasumi looks at the tent.

(BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP)

At the tent, Anastasia sits next to Alejandro. She grabs his hand:

“Alejandro…I’m sorry that I put you in this situation…but I promise you…that I will rescue you…”

“You better…otherwise you will face the consequences…” Tiwa enters the tent and sees Anastasia. She gets angry at Anastasia. She sits on the other side and looks at him:

“Who would’ve thought that an idiot who was obsessed with the supernatural…would steal my heart…”

Anastasia opens her eyes wider; “Tiwa…” Tiwa looks at Anastasia with tears in her eyes:

“It’s a beautiful feeling huh…that feeling of love…I thought I was never going to feel that…and yet…this idiot actually made me realize that…”

Anastasia blushes; “It does feel beautiful…and I don’t want to lose that feeling…”

“Then go and save him…let’s do this…for a friend…” Uriel enters the tent and looks at both of them. Both of them look at him with determination.

As the sun begins to set, the sky gets divided in two…the blue sky collides with the dark blue sky…Everyone observes as three people enter the cemetery…The cemetery was destroyed because of the previous incident with Navajo, the Skinwalker…

Uriel extends his left arm as he chants; “Yo soy a jinete, yo soy el inicio, yo soy el final, yo soy el Charro Negro” ( I am the horseman, I am the beginning, I am the end, I am “El Charro Negro”)

Uriel is wearing a special charro suit, which consists of long, tight black colored pants covered with decoration on the sides. He has a long bolero coat with golden buttons white gloves, and a special pitea belt made of silk. He had a white button shirt with a black vest, a silk tie and a large round sombrero hanging from his neck.

“Very well…it’s time for the Golden Key…” Uriel grabs the container and destroys it. A bright golden light shines in his hand. Everyone is shocked upon seeing it.

“Incredible…that’s the golden key…” Kasumi looks at it impressed. Heidi looks at it surprised as well; “This amount of mana…it’s incredible how it’s contained in a single object…”

Uriel looks at Kasumi and smiles a little; “I’ll be back…” Kasumi smiles at him; “I’ll be waiting…”

(BBBBOOMMM)

Uriel grabs the golden key tightly. A powerful golden mana expands throughout the area. Tiwa and Anastasia feel overwhelmed; “Uriel…what’s happening?”

“Both of you…grab my shoulder…I’m going to open the gates to Mictlan…” Anastasia and Tiwa grab Uriel’s shoulder. Uriel, with great force, puts the key in the entrance of the cemetery and cracks the space.

(BBBBOOMMM)

Uriel releases crimson mana as he turns the key. At that moment, a pillar of mana releases into the air. Uriel, Tiwa and Anastasia disappear from everyone’s sight.

“DO IT NOW!” Heidi orders her agents to move quickly. Four agents get into position on four different locations, surrounding the cemetery. They activated a special device and formed a forcefield around the pillar.

“Mission complete…” Heidi smiles and looks at Kasumi; “I was told that the door would remain open until they return right?” Kasumi nods in agreement; “Indeed…this will prevent mana from distotioning the space and also…to prevent anyone else noticing…”

(RRAAAWWW)

Suddenly, Sombras appear from everywhere preparing to attack. Carlos and Chelsea walk towards them; “Oh yeah…I am so ready to take those guys down…”

“Speak for yourself…this is such a drag…”

Kasumi and Heidi chuckle; “I guess you’re going to be busy over these months…Kasumi…”

Kasumi nods in agreement as she looks at the cemetery; “Please be careful…all of you…”

“And so…the Gates of the Underworld have opened…and with it…tragedy…” Standing at the top of the highest mountain, El Muerto and Darius observe the events. Darius looks at El Muerto; “Are you sure this is alright…you from the CIBOLA tribe gave your life to prevent that from happening…”

“That was in the distant past…now…” El Muerto removes the hood and the mask revealing to be a man with long black hair, black skin and a Native American bandana. He has a scar on his left eye that goes down to his mouth:

“I…Taos de Cibola…couldn't care less about my traitorous tribe…”
