February 14, 500 years later
On February 14th, the fateful night where many events occured, Uriel fought Ian. Calakmul stole the Gem of Kukulkan. The Skinwalker appeared in Sun City… another event happened in Mexico
When Calakmul used the Gem of Kukulkan, he released its power that triggered the release of Quetzalcoatl from the crystal prison...
(BOOOOMM)
The crystals break releasing their souls. Quetzalcoatl roars and flies to the sky, after a few moments, he returns to the size of the snake. In the Sun temple, the children and Quetzalcoatl once again were freed to this world.
“Where are we?” Adihe and Xochitl ask Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatl looks around looking for answers:
“I don’t know children…stay with me…”
The three of them are speechless as they see the temple they were in was full of spider webs and lost its color.
Xochitl begins to cry with Adihe; “What happened here? Where did everyone go?”
Quetzalcoatl looks at the children who are scared:
“Don´t worry children, I will protect you.”
The children decided to explore, however, they are in a modern world where everything is different.
No one understood their language so they could not get any help, they lived by eating anything they could find. Adihe ended up stealing in order to survive. The children kept that way until today…
*********************************************************************
Present… Hotel Mexica
Xochitl finished telling their story…
“That’s so sad…” Alejandro with tears in his eyes hugs Xochitl. Xochitl chuckles; “You’re funny…”
“Hey…” Everyone laughs. Johanna looks at Kasumi; “Oh my…to have someone so young to have this much mana…”
“Well, remember that earth had more mana in the past. Mana keeps depleting from earth each year…” Kasumi looks at Xochitl; “She’s been through a lot…”
“Senpai, what do we do?” Alejandro asks Kasumi, Kasumi sighs; “I guess we need to help the girl find her brother and plus we need to find the others…”
-TCH- Kasumi bites her nail; “Where is Uriel at a time like this…and of all the members of Yggdrasil, Alejandro, who is still a novice came…”
“Calm down Kasumi, I’m sure we can figure out something…”
(BBBOOIINNGGG)
Johanna grabs Kasumi’s breasts; “KKYYAAHHH…Johanna stop…”
“Well, you were too tense…wow did they grow?”

“Holy cow!” Alejandro bleeds from his nose as he covers Xochitl’s eyes. Kasumi steps forward, breathing heavily and blushing; “Why did you do that?”
“I see that your anxiety is gone…good, now concentrate…” Johanna chuckles. Kasumi looks at the girl and Alejandro:
“Very well…first let’s go and search for your brother…”
“I’m afraid that won’t be possible…” They hear a voice at the door. Everyone turns to see, at that moment, a smoke screen fills the room.
“Alejandro, guard Xochitl…” Kasumi orders Alejandro. Alejandro holds Xochitl. Kasumi makes her katana appear; “Who’s there…”
Suddenly, the light flickers, someone stands at the door; “Kasumi Miyazono, in the name of the Order of the Holy Maiden…we will be taking that girl…”
The smoke clears, revealing to be Sister Veronica wearing a nun’s attire without her head piece. Kasumi looks at her releasing mana in the form of lightning surrounding her; “This is bad, her mana is so strong…”
“Kasumi, she is Sister Veronica, a direct disciple of the Golden Maiden…and a Sapphire rank maiden. She’s bad news…”
“I see…but why is she…”
“GGGYYAHHH…” They hear a scream, Johanna and Kasumi turn around. -PUM- “What the…” Alejandro falls to the ground, and Xochitl is nowhere to be found. Alejandro looks around; “Where did she go? I felt that someone hit me from behind…”
“Enough!” Kasumi releases an enormous amount of mana breaking the windows and blowing away the smoke.
“Ooopss…I’ve been found…” Giovanni chuckles as he holds Xochitl struggles; “Alejandro…”
“Xochitl…” Alejandro tries to move, but Kasumi stops him; “Wait…if you make a false move, she will kill you…”
Alejandro looks at Sister Veronica with a killing intent. Kasumi looks at both of them, Johanna recognizes Giovanni; “O dear, we have a silver rank member of the Order of the Holy Cross here…”
“I see…I knew the church wouldn’t keep their arms crossed…they are the protectors of this country…and they sent two of their strongest here…”
“Mamma mia, we have two beautiful hot babes here…I feel blessed right now…it’s a pleasure, Giovanni Piedmont…” Giovanni takes his hat off and presents himself to them.
“That bastard, I don’t like him at all…” Alejandro feels enraged; “HEY, LET XOCHITL GO!”
“NO…” Giovanni mocks Alejandro. Alejandro “blows” steam, feeling anger. Kasumi looks at them; “Why are you doing this?”

“We are acting upon the orders given to us by the Archbishop of Mexico…we are to take those who were involved with the incident into custody…and we have authorization to dispose of those who resist…”
“En el nombre del señor defiéndeme, Lanza de San Martin Caballero” (In the name of our lord, protect me, Lance of Saint Martin Caballero)
(BBBOOMMM)
Sister Veronica summons her lance. A yellow lance appears before her hands. The lance has a yellow staff, the blade is golden and a cross is tied next to the blade. Her aura consists of lightning that expands all over the room.
“Her mana is incredible…” Alejandro covers himself from the lightning volts. Johanna chuckles; “Fufufufu, the lance of a Patron Saint…that girl is no joke…what are you going to do Kasumi?”
Giovanni covers the girl; “Stay here or you will be electrified…” Sister Veronica points her lance at Kasumi; “Now then, what will it be…Kasumi Miyazono…”
“Listen, I don’t want to fight you…we can reach an understanding here…we can avoid a conflict…” Kasumi nervously tries to avoid fighting Sister Veronica.
Xochitl takes the opportunity and bites Giovanni; “Ouch, why you little…”
“ALEJADNRO!” Xochitl runs towards Alejandro.
“XOCHITL!” Alejandro runs to try and grab her. “NO WAIT!” Kasumi tries to stop him. Veronica smiles and uses the opportunity; “Fool…”
Veronica moves with the intent of killing them. Kasumi moves at high speed, she summons her katana and blocks Veronica’s attack.
(BBBBOOOMMMM)
“GGYYYAAAHHH” The force blows everyone away, destroying the hotel room.
“So you decided to act against the church?” Sister Veronica smiles, Kasumi looks at her with anger; “I wasn’t however, you attacked a member of Yggdrasil. I have no choice but to defend myself…”
“Wait, that goofy looking guy is a member of Yggdrasil?” Sister Veronica looks surprised.
(BBBBBOOOMMM)
They separate themselves. Xochitl flies out the window; “ALEJANDRO!”
“XOCHITL!” Alejandro jumps off the window; “Damn it, I won’t make it…” Alejandro reveals his crest; “Activate, Silver Mustang; Complete”
(CCRRASSSHHHH)
Alejandro changes into his esper suit. He gathers mana in his legs and kicks the air with force making him fall faster. Alejandro manages to grab Xochitl; “Grab on…”
Xochitl hugs Alejandro and closes her eyes. Alejandro kicks the hotel wall to stop the falling motion. Both of them fall at a slower speed. Alejandro manages to land on his feet by releasing an immense amount of mana to stop the acceleration.
(BBBBBOOOMMMM)
“Ha…ha…ha…” Alejandro breathes heavily; “Are you okay?” Alejandro asks Xochitl, Xochitl looks at him and smiles.
“Good…”
(PUM PUM PUM)
Kasumi and Sister Veronica land in front of him. Kasumi looks at Alejandro; “Alejandro, stay behind me…and protect that girl…”
“I will…”
“So, Yggdrasil is my enemy…you will all be coming with me…” Sister Veronica points her lance at them.
Kasumi sighs with her eyes closed; “I really wanted to avoid fighting…but I guess, I have no choice here right?”
Kasumi takes off her glasses. She opens her eyes revealing a bright orange color as they glow with mana; “I will have to teach this brat a lesson…”
“Brat? Why you…alright Fat Bimbo…you’re on…”
Both of them look at eachother with rage. Katsumi lifts her right arm to reveal an orange light crest. The crest has a circle in the center of her forearm with two curving lines. The crest begins to shine brighter as Katsumi says:
“Activate Orenjikji: Complete” (Translates: Orange Pheasant)
Katsumi’s crest begins to spread around her body causing her to shine into an orange revealing an esper suit. The suit consists of an orange kimono with blacklines around the borders of the kimono.
Kasumi takes out her katana and takes a battle stance, Sister Veronica does the same.
“Good grief, I really wanted to avoid fighting…what a pain…” Giovanni observes the action at a tree branch.
“Fufufu…they are getting serious…” Johanna walks next to Alejandro. Alejandro looks at her surprised; “How did you get here?”
“I took the elevator silly…”
“Right?”
Kasumi and Sister Veronica glare at each other; “Let’s go…”
Both of them charge at the same time, Kasumi moves her sword back and swings upward. Sister Veronica attacks with her lance. Both weapons clash with force creating a huge explosion.
(BBBBBBOOOOOMMMMM)
The fight begins…Sister Veronica vs. Kasumi

Remorse
I have killed many people over my long life. Men, women, children. None have escaped the shadows that I control. It was only one tiny mistake that I made that changed my life forever. I underestimated her, and I would pay for my hubris. “For every death you have given, you will feel their pain.” What? “For every person you have killed, you will feel regret.” Wait, wait… “For every murder you have commited, you will know what you have done.” I don’t think this is going to be pretty. The power leaves her voice as she continues in a softer tone. “I will give you back what you have lost, you will feel empathy again.” Her power releases me and I fall to the ground. Diana. That was her name. I will remember it. ******** This story starts out somewhat dark, but it will lighten up after the first chapter. I tend to not enjoy the psychological tag too much since stories with the tag tend to be a little insane for my liking, but I feel that I would be remiss not putting it on this story, since a lot of it is about the psychology of the main character. All the content warnings are checked since I want to leave my options open to me for the future. I hope you enjoy.

Obstinate Han
A power progression fantasy with a main character who trains constantly but who lacks purpose, direction, and motivation. The world he lives in, however, is not a peaceful one. As obstinate as Han can be, with all of humanity edging slowly towards annihilation, will he truly be able to avoid becoming entangled in the affairs of the deities fighting over his new universe? This story is a slow burn rather than a fast paced action/adventure, and is centered around the perspective of a main character who struggles with depression, apathy, anhedonia, and asociality. This world was doomed well before he arrived, and he knows it. Rather than following the traditional hero model, he just wants to train for its own sake, and to scrape out occasional moments of happiness in a ruined and dying world.
