"Deity Armament; Quetzalcoatl"

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

Quetzalcoatl and Adihe create a crater in their feet as they release a small amount of mana in the form of an aura

Uriel opens his eyes wider; he trembles as he thinks; "This is bad...even if it is 30%...his mana was spread all over at first...but now...it's concentrated into one point…Damn it...I have little mana left…I guess an Ancient God may be too much for me..."

Quetzalcoatl extends his right arm and summons a large sword.

The sword has a golden blade with rectangular patterns flowing in it representing a snake. The hilt is also golden but with a large circle in the middle followed by small circles on both sides.

“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?” Uriel exclaims as he breathes heavily, Quetzalcoatl stares at him. Adihe who is inside the armor asks; “What did we do Quetzi?”

“We synchronized our hearts and fused our mana…we have become one identity…”

“That’s awesome…”

“Adihe, I will take control…follow me…” Quetzalcoatl lifts his sword, Uriel stands up and grabs his sword; “This is bad…I need to…”

(SSSSLLLASSHHH)

Quetzalcoatl attacks by swinging his sword downwards. Uriel dodges the attack. Quetzalcoatl slashes the ground, splitting the land in two all the way to the river. Uriel looks startled; “The attack was too powerful…I must keep my distance…”

Uriel jumps back and notices that his sword has little lightning left. Uriel takes a stance consisting of putting one leg forward and bending it a little. He puts his sword in the form of a projectile:

“Arte del Mariachi, Cancion del Rayo, Segunda Estrofa; Lanza del Rayo” (Mariachi Art, Lightning Song, Second Stanza, Lightning Lance)

Uriel pushes his sword forward, he releases a lightning projectile in the form of a lance. Quetzalcoatl notices and dodges with ease.

(BBBBOOOOMMM)

“How did he…” At that moment, Quetzalcoatl appears behind Uriel and swings his sword with force. Uriel uses his sword to protect himself however, the swing is so strong that it sends Uriel flying through the trees a great distance.

Uriel stabs his sword on the ground to slow down the speed. Uriel looks up and sees Quetzalcoatl in front of him. Quetzalcoatl swings his sword again, Uriel blocks it with his sword.

(BBBOOOOMMMM)

The force creates a huge impact crater below Uriel’s feet. Quetzalcoatl forces him to bend his knee; “Kneel before a God…you sinner…”

“Never..” Uriel jumps back, with the help of his wind, Uriel runs with great speed trying to gain distance from Quetzalcoatl. However, the Aztec God catches up and appears behind him and swings his sword one more time.

“Damn it, I won’t be able to dodge…”

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

Alejandro and Marjorie arrive at the Shopping District…Due to the sudden appearance of the Aztec God...Almost everyone ran away, there are a few people left...

"Ha...ha...I guess this is far enough...sorry Marjorie…" Alejandro puts Marjorie down. Marjorie looks angry:

"Why Alejandro? Why did we leave him behind?"

-TCH- Alejandro gets annoyed; "Seriously? Didn't you see that God...can't you feel that mana? Marjorie we didn't have a choice...no matter how strong you are...you and I will only be a bur…"

"SHUT UP…''Marjorie raises her voice, Alejandro looks at her surprised. Marjorie walks backwards; " You think I don't know? Of course I know...it's just that I feel so frustrated...he stayed behind even though he was also afraid...I just wanted to help him…"

"I understand...but he will be fine, he beat the Chupacabras and when face to face with a level 3 Sombra...I'm sure he will be…"

(BBBOOOMM)

At that moment, Marjorie and Alejandro see an explosion, in a blink of an eye, an object flies towards their direction and passes with high speed in the middle of them, destroying the store behind them.

Alejandro and Marjorie run to see what it was. Suddenly, Alejandro opens his eyes wider: "It can't be…"

Marjorie falls to her knees and covers her mouth with her hand and cries; "Noo...this can't be happening…"

The dust cloud slowly clears. Terror engulfed their minds as they Uriel laying on the ground, covered in blood and blood slowly leaks off his body.

"Uriel...hey man...this is not funny...wake up...Uriel...URRIIIEELLL!!!" Alejandro cries as he sees his friend unconscious. Despair flows on both of them crying for their friends.

(PUM PUM PUM)

They hear footsteps as the figure approaches them.

"AAHHH" Alejandro and Marjorie see to their right how a man slowly turns into mana. They see that people around them turn into mana particles.

"M-M-Marjorie, what's happening here?"

Both of them look in front and see a giant silhouette with glowing bluish-sapphire eyes walking towards them.

(BADUMP)

Alejandro falls into his knees and throws up. Marjorie sweats from her forehead as she looks at Alejandro:

"A-A-Alejandro...stay strong…"

"I'm surprised that you are still alive and conscious...even if you are in front of a God...You must have a great amount of mana within you... you humans are full of surprises…"

The dust cloud blows away revealing a Golden armor. Alejandro trembles in fear and tears come out of his eyes; "What can I do? I am too weak...This is a freaking God...I have no chance...what can I do? Do I run? Uriel...I need your help…"

Alejandro remembers a conversation he had with Uriel a few days back…"

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

April 2nd, Sun City

At the outskirts of Sun City, near the hills where the secret base was located...Alejandro, Uriel and Tiwa had a sparring match…

"TAKE THIS!" Alejandro, in his esper suit, tries to attack Uriel. Uriel dodges with ease and with his "holy wind" pushes Alejandro back. Alejandro puts his hand down trying to stop but Uriel appears in front of him and points his sword to Alejandro.

"Stop..the winner is Uriel…" Tiwa raises her hand. With a rock, Tiwa outs a mark under Uriel's name similar to a score board. Uriel makes his sword disappear. Alejandro sits down and deactivates his esper suit:

"Aww man...we have had 20 matches but I lost every last one of them…"

"Uriel has 15 wins, I have 5 wins and you have 0… Alejandro, you need to step up or else you will never win…" Tiwa walks closer to them.

"I know, I know but cut me some slack. It's been only 1 month since I received the esper suit…"

"He's right Tiwa...but I think you have improved a lot...see…" Uriel shows Alejandro his arm with a scratch. Alejandro gets excited; "HELL YEAH...I DID IT!"

Tiwa sighs and thinks; " Getting excited for just a scratch? That 's so you…"

Alejandro looks at Uriel; " Hey Uriel I have a question...when you're up against someone powerful, aren't you afraid? I mean taking the example of Ian...were you afraid of facing him?"

Uriel, who was drinking water, looked at the sky; " Of course I was...to be honest, I thought I was going to die…"

"Then how did you overcome that fear?"

Let me ask you this...when you fought Navajo or the Boogeyman weren't you afraid?"

Alejandro thinks back, he laughs scratching his head; "To be honest I wasn't thinking at all…"

"You're dumb you know that…'' Tiwa shakes her head with her eyes closed. Alejandro continues to speak; " I was just thinking that I needed to protect someone...When I fought Navajo, I wanted to protect Anastasia and when I fought the Boogeyman, I wanted to protect the children... "

Uriel chuckles; "I see...you are a fool"

"HEY!"

"But that's a good thing...my mother always tells me that power is not the amount of mana…"

"It isn't?" Both Alejandro and Tiwa ask at the same time. Uriel shakes his head;

"No...remember this…"
