Secret Hideout...One hour before the invasion…

Alejandro, who was under the influence of Navajo, released the power of the Golden Key. This brought a major consequence because it poisoned his body. Having only a few hours to live, Alejandro accepted Heidi’s proposal in accepting the World Tree Seed. This is what happened after….

(BBBBBOOOMMMM)

“Big Brother, what’s happening?” Valerie asks as Uriel holds her; “I don’t know, this mana…”

“It appears that his body is absorbing the seed…” Heidi shouts out loud. Tiwa looks at Heidi frightened; “You mean he is absorbing the mana?”

Heidi nods in agreement; “Right now, he is in a trial...if he doesn’t pass...he will become mana.”

Suddenly, Alejandro’s body begins to shine to the point that he explodes. “Valerie, look out…” Uriel grabs Valerie, everyone exits the layer as a silver explosion occurs.

(BBBBBOOOOOMMMM)

The secret hideout, which was Alejandro and Uriel’s favorite hiding place...slowly disappeared…

A pillar of silver mana illuminates the sky. Uriel and the others look at the hideout being destroyed; “It seems, it needs to end right, Alejandro…” Uriel thinks about it as he sees the pillar.

After a few moments, the pillar slowly began to disappear, a figure became visible and walked towards them.

“Took you long enough...Alejandro…”

The dust cloud disappears, revealing Alejandro who only has a pair of torn-up pants. Alejandro smiles at Uriel; “Well, you know I like to take my time…”

Tiwa with tears in her eyes is about to take a step; “Alej…”

“ALEJANDRO!” Valerie runs and hugs him, beating Tiwa to it. Tiwa puffs her cheeks and looks away mad. Valerie, who is hugging him cries; “You dummy, don’t scare us like that…”

Alejandro hugs her as he says; “I’m sorry, and thank you...in this short period of time, you have always been the one who supported me…”

Alejandro separates Valerie an arm’s length and says with a serious face:

“Valerie, when this is over...can we go on a date?”

Valerie blushes and smiles; “If we win this battle...of course…” Uriel walks towards them and makes a cough, both of them immediately separate with their red faces.

“So, how are you feeling?” Uriel asks Alejandro, Alejandro lifts his fist and replies; “I feel strong…” Uriel nods his head; “Excellent…what about the golden key?”

“It’s under control...I don’t feel a thing...it’s like it is completely suppressed…” Alejandro replies, looking at his left hand where the scar of the key is back to normal and the black veins disappear. Alejandro turns around and puts a sad face:

“Uriel, our hideout...I’m sorry…”

Uriel grabs his shoulder; “Don’t worry about it, this was just a relic of the past. What’s important is to focus on the future…”

Alejandro puts on a confident face and replies; “You’re right…” Uriel opens a small portal and takes out some clothes; “Here, put this on…” Alejandro notices that it’s his school uniform; “My uniform?”

“Sorry, it’s the only thing we have now…” Uriel apologizes, Alejandro chuckles.

“I must say, I’m impressed...you managed to fuse with the seed without training your body, that means that you have a strong spirit...you’re the second person to do that in the History of Yggdrasil…” Heidi says to Alejandro, Alejandro smiles as he scratches his cheeks; “Thank you...wait the second? Who was the first…”

“Fufufu, that’s a secret…” Heidi replies to herself as she looks at Uriel thinking; “I won’t tell you that it was the Solitary Wolf...your father…Uriel…”

“Now, look at your right arm” Heidi says to Alejandro. Alejandro looks at his arm and a silver crest appears consisting of two silver rectangles that surround his arm:

“Wow...they look so cool…”

“Those are the “esper crest” and they prove that you were accepted by seed…”

“I see...so I am an official member now huh…”

“Indeed you are…”

“Congratulations…” Valerie says as she holds his arm.

“So, you survived...Alejandro Sanchez…” Everyone hears a feminine voice, everyone turns around and they see Olivia Lucifugus walking along with El Muerto with a green-striped mask. Tiwa and Valerie get into a fighting position.

“Stop…let’s avoid unnecessary battles…” Uriel says to the girls. Heidi chuckles; “Good thinking…”

“I see you’re quite smart, Uriel Di Fiore, or do you prefer, Charro Negro…”

“I don’t mind either, Principal…” Uriel replies as Olivia and El Muerto stand in front of them; “Nice to meet you, Heidi Muller…I am Olivia Lucifugus…”

“The pleasure is mine…so what do we owe your visit…” Heidi asks Olivia. Olivia looks at Alejandro:

“I came here to demand an explanation on why my daughter was captured by a beast…”

Alejandro lowers his head; “I’m sorry, she was captured because of me…”

“That I know, what I want to know is what are you going to do?”

Alejandro makes a fist and looks at Olivia; “Principal, I swear on behalf of my own life, that I will save Anastasia…”

“I see…” Olivia notices his confident gaze, she sighs and replies; “Very well. I guess I have no choice, my son, Aleister, told me to trust you…so I will…therefore, he is going to help you…”

Olivia points at El Muerto, El Muerto doesn’t say a thing, he only nods in agreement and slowly walks away. Olivia turns around and says; “Alejandro, please save my daughter…if you fail…you swore you give me your life…I hope you can keep your promise…”

“I will…” Alejandro says without hesitation. Olivia disappears from their sight along with El Muerto. Uriel opens a portal; “Well then, I will leave things to you…”

“Wait, you’re not helping?” Valerie asks Uriel, he looks at her and replies; “This has nothing to do with me…and it doesn’t involve Darius or anything of my interest…” Valerie lowers her head, Uriel pats her head; “Don’t worry…I believe in you…”

Valerie smiles with confidence; “Right…” Uriel looks at Heidi; “I will stop her…” Heidi nods in agreement. Tiwa looks at them thinking; “Stopping who?”

“ALRIGHT! SINCE URIEL IS GONE…PLEASE HELP ME!” Alejandro bows his head in front of them. Valerie nods in agreement; “Of course, I do my best.” Alejandro smiles; “Thank you. Heidi chuckles; “Fufufu, this is an official mission of Yggdrasil, so I already made preparations.”

“Ms. Heidi…” Everyone looks at Tiwa, she avoids looking at them for a moment, she sighs and replies; “Find…I will also help but not because you ask me…it’s because he is a native who’s hurting the earth and I am a proud Ysleta member who needs to stop him.”

Alejandro smiles at her; “Thank you.” Tiwa blushes; “Whatever...” Alejandro looks at the mountains; “Alright, let’s go…”

***************************************************************************CIBOLA Cemetery…

In the CIBOLA Cemetery, Navajo who had his eyes closed, suddenly opens them…

“HAHAHA...TIC TOC...TIC TOC...YOU’RE TIME IS UP...ALEJANDRO…”

Navajo stands up and begins to walk towards his Navajo Warriors. He moves to the front and puts his hand on the ground; “NOW COME...MY PETS…”

Navajo releases manna, suddenly, his shadow extends to a long range and Sombras begin to come out of his Shadow. One hundred Sombras begin to crawl out of the shadow, others fly as they have wings.

(RRRRAAAAWWWW)

Navajo looks at the moon that is starting to turn into an orange color. He begins to laugh as he says:

“THE TIME HAS COME...IT’S TIME TO INVADE THIS CITY AND DESTROY IT…”
