Drought vs Jairo and Alejandro
Jairo charges at Drought and punches him with force; “NOOWWWW…” Alejandro runs quickly to Rosa and carries her thinking; “Damn it, I’m so weak…” Alejandro gets Rosa out of the fire range. Jairo and Drought continue with their fight. Jairo decided to use his “Kawai Flamingo” minigun.
(PIU PIU PIU PIU)
The minigun has a 6-barreled, air-cooled, electrically operated rotary machine gun. The electric motor rotates the barrel chamber and firing system inside the weapon. Multiple barrels have a higher capacity to withstand a high rate of fire, and they are recharged by manna.
The bullets connect with Drought but none of them seem to affect him; “What’s happening, my attacks don’t work.”
Drought begins to laugh; “You’re wasting your manna and bullets, let me ask you something, when you hit me...didn’t you feel weak…”
Jairo notices that and thinks; “That’s right, I thought it was just my imagination but…” Drought laughs; “You get it now...my ability is to dry things up just like a drought...now then…” Drought moves quickly and attacks Jairo.
(PPPUUUMMM)
Drought punches Jairo in the stomach, Jairo spills out blood. Jairo tries to punch Drought but he dodges it and punches Jairo in the face. Drought has the upper hand punching and kicking Jairo without mercy. Alejandro only shakes and thinks:
“What do I do? Jairo is being killed in front of me...damn it...the key…”
Alejandro looks at his hand and thinks; “I can use its power….I’m sorry, but I have no choice…” Alejandro stands up and takes a deep breath.
“Master, are you okay?” Alejandro gets surprised upon seeing Anastasia next to him; “Wow, how did you get here?”
“I will be on my master’s side…” Anastasia looks at him without any expression, Alejandro smiles and says; “Perfect timing, please take Rosa and run as fast as you can...I am about to unleash this power, please take her away, out of the mist...now…”

“As you wish…” Anastasia grabs Rosa and begins to run. At the top of the building a coyote is looking at the scene; “Oh, so there you are my beloved...and I can see that girl is also special, she may be in handy in the future...now then, will I get to see the golden key in action?”
Alejandro unwraps his left hand revealing a scar in the shape of a key; “I’m sorry, but I need to release this power in order to save my friend…”
(BBAADDUUUMMPPP)
Mana comes out of Alejandro’s hand. Alejandro feels that someone is behind him, the old man with the Native American attire is behind him as he says:
“Young one...the golden key...use it…”
Golden mana comes out of his fist. “Focus, just like a Space Ranger attack…just like the Chupacabra”
The coyote says with excitement; “Finally, the golden key…” Jairo and Drought notice; “ALEJANDRO NOO!!!”
“AAAHHH” Alejandro charges towards Drought; “ Golpe de Plata” (Silver Punch) Alejandro tries to punch Drought.
(BBBBOOOMMMM)
Drought punches Alejandro with force and sends him flying; “Too weak…”
Alejandro lies on the ground; “AAHHHHHH”
He grabs his bleeding head as he thinks; “This hurts, hurts, why, I thought I punched him…”
Drought slams Jairo in the ground and walks towards Alejandro, he grabs his left hand and says; “This thing, a golden key huh...you thought that just by screaming and charging at me, you would connect. Don’t be an idiot boy...does it hurt? Of course it does, because you are weak…”
Drought squeezes Alejandro’s arm with force; “AAAHHHHH” Alejandro screams as Drought chuckles; “Maybe I’ll do you a favor and rip this hand off….” Alejandro begins to scream; “NOOO!!! PLEASE NOOO!!!”.
(BBBAADDDUUUMMMPPP)
Suddenly, mana emerges with a violent wave pushing Drought back; “What the...what’s happening to the kid?”

(BBBOOOOMMM)
Golden and Black mana come out in the shape of tentacles and begin to destroy everything. Alejandro’s left side is covered in black veins as he holds it with pain; “Damn it, my hand...no….”Alejandro begins to cry of pain. Jairo notices and charges at him trying to help:
“Alejandro, pull yourself together...Alejandro…”
“Damn it...I’m losing control…” Alejandro begins to lose consciousness. The coyote jumps off as he slowly turns into Navajo; “Finally, that power is mine…”
Navajo extends his hand and begins to absorb the mana. Jairo notices and grabs Alejandro, exposing himself to the power; “SNAP OUT OF IT!”
“HAHAHA MORE! MORE!” Navajo continues to absorb the mana. Suddenly, Anastasia appears and quickly grabs the bandage and begins to wrap Alejandro’s arm. The mana begins to disappear, Navajo lands in front of them and whines:
“Aww, is that all...well, I guess you’ll eventually give me that power okay…” Navajo walks away and disappears in the mist.
Jairo and Alejandro fall to the ground exhausted. Anastasia looks at Alejandro without any expression and asks:
“Are you okay Master?”
“Ha...ha...ha...yes, thank you Anastasia…” Alejandro replies, he looks at Jairo who is burned by the key’s power.
Alejandro feels tired as he apologizes to Jairo. Jairo smiles and says; “Don’t worry about this...I’m sure I’ll be…”
(SSSLLLASSSHHH)
Alejandro opens his eyes wider, Anastasia also opens her eyes a little. Blood falls into Alejandro’s face as he sees a mana sword piercing through Jairo’s chest. Blood comes out of Jairo’s mouth as he slowly falls to the ground.
“JJJJAAAIIIRROOOO!” Alejandro screams as he looks at Typhoon, the one who stabbed Jairo; “Why, why did you do that?”
“Because, it was our mission...Jairo de la Hoya was a threat that needed to be eliminated…” Typhoon begins to walk away, Alejandro breathes heavily as he looks at Jairo; “J-J-Jairo…” Alejandro loses consciousness in Anastasia's arms.
(DRIP DRIP DROP DROP)
“Aww, that was too easy...I can’t believe these were members of the famous Yggdrasil…” Flood says as she walks casually.
"It was necessary, these guys needed to be stopped from being terrorists…” Drought replies as he walks alongside her.
Both of them head towards Typhoon. Typhoon communicates with Agent Watson:
“Yes boss, it was something easy, we have eliminated all of the members including one pedestrian who tried to help them…”
The three figures begin to walk away, the mist begins to clear as it shows all the members of Yggdrasil on the floor, they are covered in blood. Rain begins to fall as the man says:
“Mission Accomplished…”

Keeper
When I first woke up I knew only three things: My name is Reiza, I have a seed I need to care for, and a song. I was told that the forest I woke up in was mine and that I needed to take control of it and protect it. The only things standing in my way are nature itself, a bunch of strange floating boxes, and a group of crazy powerful creatures known as the forest queens. Sounds pretty simple right? It might be if it weren't for the fact that I have absolutely zero memory, but hey at least I know my name. Also apparently my enemies aren't only inside the forest. Forces from the outside got news that somthing was going down in my new home and are coming to crash my party. Can I claim this forest? Can I protect it? And most importantly can I figure out who I am and what's going on? I'm not sure but I'm going to try. Hey everyone I'm fairly new to writing novles and this is my first time ever putting my work on a site like this one. I hope you enjoy the story and would appreciate your feedback. I would ask that you read through at least a couple of chapters before leaving a rating. I know I have some trouble with grammer and how I structure some of my sentences and while feedback on that is appreciated what I would value most is feedback on the story as a whole in terms of how the plot works and if you are enjoying it or not.
