February 6th; Sun City; Sun City International Highschool

The next day, after the attack of the Chupacabras, the news headlines were altered as they say:

“FUEGO DESTROZA RESTAURANTE” (FIRE DESTROYS RESTAURANT)

Due to this attack, the students of both cities were given two days off as the cities, however, the Student Council continues to work hard… It’s 3pm on Sun City International Highschool

“Aww man, I’m so tired…” Victoria says as they fill out paperworks.

Marjorie looks at Victoria and comments; “I’m sorry that you had to come, everyone, but if we want to get Valentine's week going, we must fill out those papers. Victoria, I know that you want that dance to happen right?”

Victoria puffs her cheeks; “Alright, alright...I get it…”

Angela looks at Marjorie and asks; “Hey Marjorie, you mentioned that you saw Alejandro right? Is he okay?”

Marjorie doesn’t respond at first, she makes a fake smile and replies:

“To be honest, I can’t remember if I saw him or not…”

“Oh, I see..”

Aleister, Marjorie and Victoria agreed that they would not speak about the events that happened last night to avoid any other responses…

“Well now, the annual contest of the “King and Queen of the Valentines Dance” will open up next week...and I have someone in mind to nominate…”

Aleister smiles as he stands up and walks towards the board and writes a name.

“Seriously? Him? Why?” Raul asks Aleister.

“Because we need to make things interesting….and I know that he will be a very interesting candidate…”

Sun City Mayor’s Office

Darius and Olivia have tea in the mayor's office. Suddenly a door opens and it´s Nathaniel who looks furious and exclaims:

“What was the meaning of the attack last night? Are you trying to kill me?”

“Hahaha, that was funny, who knew you were eating dinner at that moment Nathaniel” Darius says to Nathaniel causing him to get angrier and screams:

“Don´t play dumb, El Muerto knew I was there, in fact I know he order that monster to attack me.”

Darius stands up and says:

“Well Nathaniel just remember who you are speaking to, show some respect, my wife is here, that was an accident but next time it won't . Remember that you work for me idiot!”

Nathaniel steps back speechless. He begins to leave and says:

“Well don't repeat it, my son was there as well.”

As soon as Nathaniel leaves, Olivia and Darius begin to laugh saying:

“WHAT AN IDIOT!”

“Getting back to the subject, I heard that our son is doing perfect on his grades, am I correct?” Darius says as he sits at his desk.

“You are correct dear, our son is a genius that colleges want him to study everywhere, even in Europe” Olivia says as she drinks tea.

“Excellent, Now that I have a lead on the Golden Keys, I think I might send our son away in order to proceed with my plan.” Darius replies as he smiles.

“Well it just happened that we have an opening for our son to travel away but will he agree to it?.” Olivia replies as she laughs.

“You see Olivia, yes he will, I have a good hunch my dear.” Darius replies with a smile.

“Alright if you say so, I'll send him.” Olivia says as she prepares to leave.

“Now then, I have the identities of the members of Yggdrasil here…”

Darius throws six pictures on the table revealing the faces of everyone of Yggdrasil.

“I see, so what should I do about it?”

“Nothing, let’s just see how things will play out? Remember that El Muerto is the one that will control the situation…”

“I understand, I will keep an eye on them…”

“Hold on there is one more person I would like you to observe as well.” Darius says as he shows a picture of Johanna to Olivia. Olivia looks at the picture confused:

“Why her, she is just a nurse?”

“Hahaha, she is not just a nurse, she is a danger to us but she might be an asset if we play the cards right”

“Alright...what about the keys...do you have any leads?”

“Yes...in fact, that boy...Alejandro has one on his hand…” Darius shows her a picture to Olivia.

“Ahhh, that kid that Aleister refers to as a loser…”

“When the time comes, his key will be retrieved…” Darius says to Olivia. Olivia leaves the office and both of them say at the same time:

“We are Enlightened”

She opens the door and a young boy with spiky gray hair enters the room.Olivia smiles as she says:

“I see, so you wanted him to return...It’s good to see you again?”

“Ahh, Ian...how was Romania?”

“It was a pretty interesting uncle...however, I got bored of the flavors...thank you for calling me…”

“I wanted you to come, because I have a special assignment for you…”

“Perfect, and I hope you will let me have fun here?”

“Of course...just don’t go overboard…”

The boy smiles revealing fangs in his mouth; “I can’t guarantee that…”

Meanwhile, at Yggdrasil’s secret base….

“Uriel…” Uriel hears the voice of a woman.

“Mama”

“Uriel….” Uriel opens his eyes, he notices that he is crying as he thinks:

“Why did I dream about her again...mother…”

“Oh good, you’re awake?” Chelsea enters the room, Uriel notices that he has bandages.

“Sorry, it was all that we had here…”

Uriel stands up and puts his black shirt on.

“I see…so I am at base ehh…”

“That’s right, this is a special room...come, everyone is waiting…”

Uriel and Chelsea go to the main room where the screens are located. Alejandro and Tiwa are also in the room with bandages as well.

“Hey Uriel, how are you feeling?” Alejandro asks uriel, Uriel looks at his arm and recipes:

“I’m doing well, but it seems that you are not…”

Uriel looks at Kasumi and asks; “How are you feeling Kasumi?”

Kasumi blushes and stand behind Shion:

“I-I-I’m doing great...thank you…you are the one who took damage”

“It will take a couple of days for me to heal, I need to stay away from the Ministry in order to heal faster.”

“Hey you could stay at my apartment…” Kasumi suggests with a shy voice. Carlos burst with jealousy.

“Sorry, but no...I already have a place to stay.”

“Oh, I see…” Kasumi looks down disappointed, Shion and Rosa chuckle:

“Kasumi, that was so bold of you…”

Kasumi stands up and bows his head:

“Uriel Di Fiore, you have our thanks...for last night...that goes for Alejandro and Tiwa…”

Alejandro and Tiwa blush. Uriel sighs:

“I only did it because it was my mission, that’s all…”

Kasumi looks at Uriel with doubt and asks:

“Uriel, what is your mission?”

Uriel notices that everyone is looking at him. He sighs with his eyes close and replies:

“A long time ago, I made the decision to hunt down every last Sombra...I know that I am El Charro Negro, but I won’t follow my master’s ways…”

Uriel looks at his hand and says; “I will follow my own ideals, that’s my answer…”

“Wow he is so dreamy…” Chelsea’s face turns red.

Uriel looks at Alejandro who tries to hide his arm; “Now then, Alejandro, judging from the manna your hand is emitting, I guess you used it right?”

“Yes, I did…”

Alejandro shows his arm, his arm has black veins growing. Uriel opens his eyes wider, Shion walks forward and begins to explain:

“Judging from the way the veins grow, we have determined that the key is poisoning Alejandro. Everytime he uses it, the poison will spread from his body.”

“I understand that, that’s why Father Clemente and Sister Carolina made that black cloak to wrap it around, to stop the spreading…”

Alejandro looks worried, Tiwa then asks:

“So, how much time does he have before the poison reaches his heart?”

Shion looks serious; “If the poison that the key emmits reaches his heart, he will die. Judging by the speed that he has, I’d say he has 6 months…”

The room is silent after hearing the news. Alejanro looks at his arm thinking:

“Six months ehh…”

Tiwa touches his hand; “Hey, don’t worry, we will find a way to get that key out…”

“Aww, young love, I feel jealous…” Rosa says to them. They look away feeling embarrassed.

The tension breaks as everyone except Uriel chuckles.

“Very well, I think it’s time to talk seriously...Uriel...please join Yggdrasil...we could use people like you on our team…”

Kasumi makes a request, everyone is left speechless.

“I refuse..” Uriel answers quickly leaving everyone in shock.

“But why?”

“Simple, I am an evil being that is on your wanted list, am I wrong?”

Everyone from Yggdrasil remains quiet. “I thought so...I am better off on my own...besides I am already part of the Historical Research Association …”

Alejandro and Tiwa smile.

“That’s right...Uriel is part of our club now!” Alejandro and Tiwa walk to Uriel’s side as both of them say; “We are part of his group remember…”

“You sure are dumb you know that?” Carlos says as he feels enraged and jealous thinking;

“Damn it, Senpai never asks me to join and yet, he refused?”

“I understand, then let’s form an alliance then.” Kasumi suggests that to Uriel.

“We of Yggdrasil need people like you to be on our side. The Kage in this region are strong, not to mention El Muerto. So please help us out until we defeat them…”

Uriel closes his eyes to think, he opens it and replies:

“My mission is to kill Darius Lucifugus. I don’t know what your true objectives are but we share a common goal and that is to defeat the Sombras in this region…”

Kasumi extends her hands; “So do we have a deal? I promise that we won’t betray you and that we will work together to stop Darius. I also promise to save my student’s life…”

Uriel looks at Alejandro and Tiwa who nod in agreement. Uriel shakes her hand:

“Very well, make Carlos and Chelsea join our club and we have a deal…”

“We have a deal…” Alejandro shouts with excitement.

“HEY!!!” Carlos and Chelsea react surprised.

“Our club needs members and if we form an alliance now, you will have to be part of our club…”

“Senpai, these guys are losers please…” Kasumi smiles as a red aura comes out of her.

Both of them get nervous as they reply; “We agree to join your club…”

“ALRIGHT, NOW THE HISTOREA ALLIANCE IS COMPLETE!” Tiwa screams with excitement.

“HISTOREA?” Carlos asks Tiwa.

“Yeah, Historical Research Association is way too long...HISTOREA is better…”

“That makes sense…” Chelsea says, nodding her head. Kasumi chuckles and replies:

“Good, from now on, we are the HISTOREA…”

Uriel looks at them as he remembers the words that his mother said the last time he saw her:

“Uriel, even though you are alone right now...I guarantee that you will find comrades you will depend on whether you like it or not…”

“It’s as you said mother, I now have comrades and I must say…” Uriel looks at Alejandro and Tiwa making makes a little smile:

“I must say that they are annoying…”

A surprising alliance was formed on that day. Uriel, Alejandro and Tiwa decided to work together with Yggdrasil forming the HISTOREA Alliance...This Alliance will play a major role in the events that will unfold in the future….
