A few moments earlier...

Alejandro finishes going to the restroom finishing as he says; “Man, this is life…”

(PPPUUMMM)

“ALEJANDRO!”

“AHHH TIWA”

Tiwa stands at the door, Alejandro looks angry; “Hey, don’t come in here like…”

“The Boogeyman has appeared.” Alejandro begins to head towards Luis at high speed thinking:

“Don’t tell me…”

Carlos and Stefan are at the elevator heading to the room. Carlos looks at Stefan eating some fries as he says:

“You ate 5 burgers and now fries...don’t you think that was a little exaggerated…”

“No...that’s what I usually eat…”

“I see...keep eating like that and you will get fatter…”

“Shut up, I only eat because I am nervous…” Stefan replies, Carlos sighs; “Nervous of what? The Boogeyman, that thing doesn’t even…

(GGGYYYYAAHHHH)

At that moment, the lights of the floor go off….

Carlos and Stefan hear a scream, they head towards the room. They encounter Alejandro and Tiwa; “What was that scream?” Stefan asks the others. “THe lights are gone, this is bad…” Carlos says to everyone.

Alejandro opens the door. Everyone is paralyzed by what they are seeing, wind blows gather and lightning falls with force revealing a humanoid figure wearing a black cape with a hood. The figure is 7 feet tall, almost reaching the ceiling. It has large claws, and holds Luis with one of his hands.

“LLLLUUUUIIIISSS!” Alejandro screams. Luis, who is barely conscious, extends his hand; “Alejandro...help me…”

“Oh...you can see me...now that is magnificent...I will add you to my collection…”

“DAMN YOU!” Alejandro charges at him, Carlos tries to stop him; “YOU FOOL! YOU CAN’T ACTIVATE IT RIGHT NOW!”

“Activate, Silver Mustang!” Alejandro chants, his crest begins to glow but it only expands a little of the silver veins; “Damn it, it didn’t activate at all...it doesn’t matter...I will save Luis….”

Alejandro prepares to attack, the Boogeyman laughs as tree roots come out of his cloak and attack Alejandro forcing him to the wall.

(BBBOOOOMMMM)

“ALEJANDRO!” Tiwa screams, Stefan is paralyzed as he has a nervously smile; “He’s real, I knew he was real!”

Carlos charges and makes his katana appear, roots attack once more, Carlos slashes the roots one by one; “Is that the best you got…”

(SSSLLLLAASSHHHHH)

Carlos slashes his hood off revealing his sinister face. He has pointy ears, yellow eyes. A large pointy nose, large teeth and little hair. He is very tall and his fingers are long and dry.

“Man, you’re really ugly…” Carlos jumps to the wall and uses it as an impulse. He charges at the Boogeyman. The Boogeyman smiles and says; “Nice Try…”

The Boogeyman puts Luis in front of him. Carlos moves to the right avoiding hitting the kid; “Damn you bastard…” Suddenly, a tree root grabs one of his legs and pulls him with force. Throwing him outside the window breaking it.

(CCCRRAAASSHHHH)

“AAHHH” Carlos falls from the third floor. Tiwa summons her spirit owl Suma; “Suma, fuse now…”

“Right…”Suma’s manna begins to transfer to Tiwa’s, Tiwa opens her eyes as they change to the yellow color. Tiwa lifts her hand, her hand turns into a silver color claws.

“GARRAS DE ACERO” (IRON CLAWS)

(SSSLLLAASSHHH)

Tiwa tries to attack the Boogeyman but he shelters himself with the roots. One of the roots grabs Tiwa and hangs her upside down. The Boogeyman begins to laugh:

“Women taste better...I will take you too…”

“Don’t you dare…” -SSSLLLAASSHHH- A wind blade cuts the root, Tiwa falls out the window. At that moment, Alejandro charges gathering manna on his right arm. “You’re annoying…” The Boogeyman grabs Alejandro’s leg and slams him in the ground breaking and sending him to a level below.

“Now then…” The Boogeyman throws the bed out the window revealing a portal and stands on it. They slowly begin to sink, Stefan is frozen of fear; “What do I do? What can I do?”

“Wait...I need to save you…” Alejandro climbs up, he is bleeding from his had and extends his arm. “AALLLLEEEEEJJJAANNNNDDDROOO!!” Luis struggles, the Boogeyman laughs as he and Luis slowly disappear. Stefan smiles and grabs Alejandro’s shoulder:

“Hey man...thank you...I am literally wetting myself of fear here...but you’re different...despite of being hurt...you are still fighting...it was nice knowing you…”

“Wait...what are you?”

“AAHHHHH” Stefan charges at the portal; “I’m going to be a hero…”

“YOU IDIOT! STEFAN!” Alejandro screams as he sees Stefan enter the portal. The portal closes as Alejandro loses consciousness.

March 22nd

“lejandro...Alejandro….Alejandro...Alejandro…” Alejandro hears someone calling, he slowly opens his eyes and sees a light shining towards him.

“Where am I?” Alejandro looks around and sees Tiwa and Carlos; “Tiwa...Carlos...what happened?”

Alejandro begins to remember the events of last night; “LUIS...STEFAN!” Alejandro lifts his body and tries to stand up. Tiwa tries to stop him; “Calm down, you were injured...you must rest…”

“I can’t rest...Luis...Stefan…I need to…I ,made a promise...”

“Calm down, Alejandro…” Alejandro hears a feminine voice, he looks at the door and sees Kasumi entering the room. Alongside her is Shion and Rosa. Rosa runs towards Alejandro; “Mijo...are you okay? I was so worried?”

“I’m okay, but I can’t breathe…” Alejandro says as his face turns purple. Rosa lets him go. Kasumi looks at Carlos and asks; “What happened in the hospital? A nurse is dead and there are people missing...I need some explanation…”

Carlos looks down and begins to explain; “ The Boogeyman attacked us, he attacked by surprise and took the boy...Stefan jumped there trying to help the boy and disappeared in the portal…”

Carlos bows his head and says; “I’m sorry...you put your trust in me senpai...and yet I failed you…”

Kasumi walks towards Carlos and hugs him; “You fool...you haven’t failed yet...I still believe that you can finish this mission with success…”

(BOING)

Carlos begins to bleed from his nose as he thinks; “Senpai’s oppai are the best…”

“Now then, what are we dealing with really? I know the Boogeyman is just a name...but I want to know what we are really dealing with…” Kasumi lets go of Carlos. Carlos cleans his nose and takes out his phone:

“Judging from what I saw last night...Tiwa and I came to the conclusion that we are dealing with this…”

Carlos shows a drawing of a creature with long ears and green skin. Kasumi opens her eyes wider; “Don’t tell me that it's a goblin…”

“Indeed senpai, but to be more accurate it's Hobgoblin…”

“A hobgoblin? You mean the magical creature from European folklore?” Alejandro asks Carlos, Carlos nods in agreeement; “Indeed, those creatures are not magical...those bastards can control manna perfectly...they eat children and rape women…during the medieval era...they were in charge of most of the killing in Northern Europe…”

“So a Hobgoblin was here huh...but how...they should be extinct when the Order of the Holy Cross hunted them down…”

“It appears some of them survived...that explains the legend of the Boogeyman…” Shion says to Kasumi. Kasumi bites her nail:

“That monster is dangerous...I can’t believe we didn’t put much attention to that…”

“Is the Hobgoblin that dangerous?” Tiwa asks Kasumi, Kasui nods in agreement; “Indeed, they are...Hobgoblins are much taller, stronger and smarter than a regular goblin…”

“You could say that it scales power, they would be between a Level 2 and 3 Kage…” Shion finishes explaining. She looks at Kasumi and says; “Senpai, I think that we should get involved...we probably need to ask for Uriel’s help…”

-TCH- “Just when Ms. Heidi left...I guess I have no choice...I will…”

“WAIT!” Carlos raises his voice. Everyone looks at Carlos, Carlos bows his head; “Please...please let Tiwa and I handle this...we have trained so hard...I know that we can save the children...we can stop the Boogeyman...Please Senpai!”

Kasumi sighs with her eyes closed; “Look Carlos, I understand how you feel, but this is not to be taken lightly...so promise me that you won’t die…”

Carlos looks with enthusiasm; “RIGHT!”

Tiwa who had her eyes closed, opens them and begins to say; “ I have Jana tracking them down, and I located their location...it appears that they are in an old tree located 20 kms up north…”

“Right...Tiwa, time to go…” Carlos says to Tiwa. “Wait...I want to go with you…” Alejandro tries to lift his body.

Rosa stops him; “No mijo...you are injured and you have a broken leg…”

“But I promised that child...and Stefan...he’s....”

“Stop Alejandro...you won’t participate...that’s an order…” Kasumi raises her voice, Alejandro lowers his head. Kasumi begins to say:

“You must accept that you can’t help...you are a part of Yggdrasil now...you can’t act rashly okay…you disobeyed Carlos and charged straight ahead...and see what happened...”

“Yes ma’am…” Alejandro nods, feeling down. Rosa hugs him; “Ay mijo...please rest…”

Tiwa and Carlos leave the room, as they walk upstairs, Tiwa asks Carlos:

“Hey...do you have a plan?”

“Of course...in fact, he will actually help us…” Carlos says with a smile.
