February 2nd, Present day,Ministry of San Juan

(Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep)

Uriel opens his eyes, and extends his hand looking at his ring; “That Viejo, he sure made me suffer…”

“Aww man what a dream I had.” Alejandro stands up from his bed and sees the clock that said: 7 AM. Alejandro frowns and says; “Who put the alarm at this hour?”

Alejandro and Uriel share a room at the back of the ministry, they have separate beds located on each side of the room.

Uriel stands up and says; “We need to clean up and help with the chores. This is a way to pay the Ministry for letting us stay here…”

Alejandro yawns and whines:

“But it’s a Saturday.”

On Saturday morning, Uriel and Alejandro help out the sisters in their daily chores. Uriel cleans the windows. Mariana sweeps the rooms, Abril and Fabiola sweeps the yard and Alejandro is lifting heavy boxes to bring inside the church.

“Hey A-A-Alejandro, can you help us with this box p-p-please.” Fabiola says to Alejandro in a shy tone while she blushes. Alejandro replies with a smile; “Sure thing”

Fabiola smiles as she steps backwards, she takes a deep breath and gathers the courage to say; “T-T-Thank you”

“Sure thing, but you know, it's just a box...” Alejandro replies with a smile.

“N-N-Not that, Thank you for saving me from that monster the other night.” Fabiola says to Alejandro as her face turns red.

Fabiola’s attitude changed towards Alejandro after he saved her from the monster. She is not aggressive to Alejandro anymore, she is rather more shy and polite.

Alejandro smiles at her and replies; “ Hey don’t worry, my dream is to be a hero for someone, and I hope I became yours.”

“Y-Y-Yes, you did…” Fabiola replies very embarrassed, Alejandro looks at her surprised.

(BBAADDUUMMPP)

Fabiola turns around and runs embarrassed. Without noticing, Fabiola slips through the wet floor and slides down the hallway.

“FABIOLA, ARE YOU OKAY?” Alejandro runs to help her, suddenly, his face turns red as he notices that Fabiola is revealing her underwear once again to him. He suddenly turns around of embarrassment saying; “S-S-SORRY”

Fabiola stands up with a teary eye and says:

“You Pervert.” She throws a bucket to him and hits him in the face, Alejandro escapes as he has a perverted face: “Seeing girls panties is just the best...”

“COME BACK HERE YOU PERVERT!”

Meanwhile...

Sister Carolina cleans peacefully in the front door, suddenly a beautiful woman with orange hair walks straight at her and says:

“Excuse me, is this where Uriel Di Fiore and Alejandro Sanchez live?”

“U-U-Umm, well it’s complicated.”

Sister Carolina replies with a nervous smile when she sees that there are five more people behind the beautiful woman. Suddenly they see Alejandro being chased by Fabiola with a broom. They run in circles in front of the yard while the sister only looks at them. Father Clemente screams:

“Why are you slacking off?”

“This girl is crazy…” Alejandro shouts as he continues to run. At that moment, Alejandro sees Kasumi in the front door waving and says:

“Ms Miyazono is that you?”

(PPPPUUUMMM)

Alejandro gets distracted and trips with a box. Alejandro tries to get up, Fabiola uses the oportunity and hits him in the head with the broom and says:

“Take that you pervert!”

“Sorry about that?” Sister Carolina apologizes.

“Man, he is such a loser,” Carlos says while he laughs.

“I guess that boy doesn’t change at all…” Mr. Jairo says as he puts his hand on his cheek.

“My boy is safe, it's good to see him again…” Ms. Gutierrez says with tears in her eyes.

“Welcome, I took the liberty of getting rid of this bat that was following you…” Uriel appears behind them holding a bat, the bat slowly turns into mana.

“I didn’t notice that thing was following us, how did you know?” Shion asks Uriel, Uriel walks forward and stands in front of Kasumi.

“I take it you brought all of them right?”

Kasumi blushes and looks away replying:

“Well, almost one is undercover but this is my team…”

“Good, now come on in... we will talk inside…”

“WELCOME…”Father Clemente and Sister Carolina welcome the guest.

“Here catch…” Uriel throws an unconscious Alejandro to Jairo, the muscular man who is behind him.

“WWWAAIIITTT, SORRY I’M LATE…” Tiwa says as she runs to the ministry.

Tiwa is wearing a long blue dress with colorful circular patterns in the bottom. She has two feathers on her hair, and has short boots.

“Hello Tiwa, now everyone is here...come to the dining room because there is a lot to discuss…”

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

In the Dining hall, there are 10 people sitting there. Among them are Uriel, Kasumi, Carlos, Jairo, Chelsea, Shion, Father Clemente, Sister Carolina and Tiwa.

“Uriel, Sister Carolina and Father Clemente, allow me to present my team.”

Kasumi stands up and bows her head; “My name is Kasumi Miyazono, I am a teacher at Sun City International Highschool. Here on my right is Mr. Jairo, he is the owner of a coffee shop.”

Jairo smiles and with a masculine voice says; “Nice to meet you.”

“Next to him is Shion Saito, she is the secretary of the principal of my school.”

Shion bows her head; “It’s a pleasure”

“Next to her is Chelsea Lockhart (Age 17), she is a Senior or Last year student in the same High school.”

Chelsea lifts her hand and says; “Hello”

“To my left, Rosa Gutierrez, she works with Mr. Jairo.”

Rosa smiles and waves; “Good evening to all”

“Next to her is Carlos Valverde, also a Senior student at my highschool”

Carlos acts as if he doesn’t care; “Hey”

“We have another member but this agent is currently in another mission”

Father Clemente and Sister Carolina both Bow their head and say:

“It’s a pleasure, welcome to the Ministry of San Juan, I am the priest in charge of the Ministry Father Clemente Rossi”

“I am his assistant, Sister Carolina”

Uriel looks at them and says; “My name is Uriel Di Fiore, I come from Tapatio, Jalisco...and that’s all I am going to say...”

Everyone looks at him with suspicion, Uriel acts as if nothing happened.

They look at Tiwa, she stands up and introduces herself:

“I am Tiwa de Ysleta, the last descendant of the Ysleta tribe, guardians of the region…”

“Moving on, why did you come here?”

Tiwa feels as if a rock saying “Ignored” fell on her head.

“DAMN YOU. URIEL” She thinks to herself as she glares at Uriel who thinks:

“This is going to be a bother.”

After Alejandro came back to his senses, he decided to go to the Dining hall. The three sisters were following them until Sister Carolina stopped them because they still needed to complete their chores.

Uriel prepares tea in the kitchen and Kasumi and the others sit at one of the tables nervously.

“Hey Uriel, you won’t believe me, I saw the teach…” Alejandro enters the dining hall his eyes open wider with surprise:

“WAIT, WHY ARE YOU HERE, MR. JAIRO AND MS. GUTIERREZ”

Mr Jairo is a 30 year old man, he is a tall and muscular man with a black mustache.Rosa Gutierrez is a 40 year old widow. She has a robust body and a chubby face. She has white skin and red hair.

Rosa stands up and hugs Alejandro crying; “Mi niño, I was so worried about you, why didn’t you call me…”

“I’m sorry, things happened and I can’t breathe…”

Alejandro looks at Shion, the secretary of the principal, Carlos and Chelsea, who are students from the same school and Tiwa.

Shion has blonde hair and yellow eyes. Carlos has black hair and blue eyes. Chelsea has light blue hair and pinkish eyes.

Uriel serves everyone some tea. Alejandro looks at them with suspicion. He takes a zip of his cup with his eyes closed thinking of a way to ask her something. He opens his eyes and says:

“Why have you been avoiding me all this week?”

“W-W-Well I haven't noticed that, we just happen to not cross paths during the week.” Katsumi says with a red face.

“RRRIIIGGGHHHTTTT” Alejandro knows that they crossed paths every day but she avoids him pretending to read a book.

Uriel looks at Kasumi and says:

“Well in any case, Thank you for helping us save Fabiola the other night. Without you she would have died.”

Kasumi’s face turns red as she replies; “N-N-No problem.”

Kasumi drinks her tea and sighs thinking; “Come on, you can do it”

Alejandro sighs and asks: “Tell me the truth, Ms. Miyazono”

Kasumi sighs, she looks at Alejandro and begins to speak:

“The truth is that we belong to a secret organization in charge of protecting the people from evil identities such as the “Kage” and other evil beings.”

“The kage?”

“She means the Sombras, that's how they are named in Japanese moron…” Carlos reponds making Alejandro get furious.

“Indeed, we belong to the group known as Yggdrasil…”

“You mean the Word Tree?” Tiwa asks Kasumi.

“Indeed, but why are you here again?”

Kasumi responds to Tiwa, Tiwa feels as if a rock with the word “Uninvited” falls on her head.

“Tiwa is a member of the Ysleta tribe, her tribe has protected the Borderland for centuries, she has the right to know what’s going on.” Uriel replies as he stands behind Tiwa.

Tiwa changes her expression to a confident one and says; “That’s right, I, Tiwa de Ysleta must know what’s going on in this region for the sake of my tribe.”

“Father Clemente is a member of the Order of the Holy Cross and Sister Carolina is a member of the Order of the Holy Maiden. They protect Rio Grande City. They have the right to be here as well…” Uriel says to Kasumi as she smiles replying:

“I understand, then there is no problem with it.”

Kasumi zips from her tea and continues to explain:

“So, as I was saying, we belong to Yggdrasil, an organization that hunts down kages. Me and my group were assigned to investigate the Sun City as it has presented an increase of kage in the area.We have been in this operation for 1 year now.”

“I see…Now tell us your real motives or I tell him myself...”

Kasumi looks at Alejandro and continues to speak:

“There was another reason to be here in this region and the reason was to investigate Alejandro Sanchez as the prime suspect of the increase of the Kage here…”

“But why me?”

“5 years ago, you found a Golden key right?”

“How did you know?” Alejandro looks in shock. He didn’t tell anyone about it.

“The truth is...I have been spying on you ever since your grandparents died 4 years ago…” Ms. Gutierrez says with a somber tone. Alejandro who feels betrayed begins to say with an angry tone:

“So, all those times I felt down and that you helped me get back up were all a lie?”

“No, I assure you that I…”

“That’s a lie… did my grandparents know when they died that you were an agent?"

"...." Rosa doesn't respond.

-TCH- "I knew it…" Alejandro stands up.

"Where are you going?" Uriel asks Alejandro.

"I need some air…" Alejandro leaves the room.

"I'll go talk to him.." Sister Carolina stands up and goes with Alejandro.

Rosa looks depressed, Mr. Jairo also looks down. Kasumi sighs and Tiwa looks at Uriel.

Uriel looks at Kasumi and says:

"He'll be alright, don't worry about it...let's continue with our discussion…"

"Right…" Kasumi stands up and takes out a black sphere and puts it on the table.

She presses the button charging it, a red light stands out and illuminates the whole dining room. A hologram of a man appears before them.
