Sun City…
Victoria and Angela walk towards their houses...Victoria looks very angry…
“I can’t believe that Uriel went on a date with Chelsea...I mean why can't you see me...I;m smart, popular and have a rocking body...so why?”
They arrive on the street where Angela lives, Victoria tries to say something:
“W-W-Well...Victoria, maybe he…”
Angela Victoria doesn’t listen:
“Like, I am hotter than her...so why can’t he just see me...we went to the dance together and even on a date where I kissed him...so why…”
“OH SHUT UP FOR ONCE” Victoria stops walking and turns around surprised; ‘What did you say?”
Victoria sees a completely changed Angela. Her face is now more serious and her eyes are hollow. Victoria looks at Angela frightened; “Angela?”
Angela charges and grabs Victoria by the neck and lifts her up; “Angela, what are you doing?”
“You know how long I wanted to do this? Every Time you talked about yourself, I wanted to ring that pretty little neck of yours, seriously...You’re so egocentric...I can’t believe our Master chose you.”
“Stop...please…” Victoria struggles to breathe. Suddenly, Angela hears someone coming; “That’s enough Angela, we need her for our operation…”
“Oh alright, I was only playing…”
(COUGH COUGH)
Victoria coughs as she holds her throat, she looks up and gets surprised as she says a young man with green hair and glasses; “R-R-Raul?”
“Good evening Victoria…”
“What are you doing here? What’s going on?” Victoria asks nervously.
(BBBOOOMMM)
Angela punches a wall and creates a giant hole; “Shut up bitch, you’re annoying…”
“That’s enough Angela, you’re temper is always so annoying…”
“This is not right, this is a dream...she is not Angela, I mean she has always been sweet and shy…”
“HAHAHAHA...THAT ANGELA IS JUST AN ACT! THIS IS THE REAL ME!” Angela says as she tears up her dress up to her knees and grabs her hair with a ponytail.
“She’s right, Angela has always been like that but you just forgot…”
“Forget? I think I would remember her like that…” Victoria says as she tries to stand up.

“You’re wrong...you won’t remember because I took those memories from you…” Victoria opens her eyes wider as she sees a hooded man approaching her. He is wearing a white skeleton mask and black gloves. Behind him is another hooded person wearing a skeleton mask with a red stripe crossing the face.
“Who are these men, and why are you two not panicking?” Victoria says as she trembles.
“My name is El Muerto and Victoria, you are part of our group…”
“You’re group?”
“That’s right, you have always part of Sabia Regueli”
“What are you talking about?”
“The fact that he’s here means that we were given an order right” Raul says as he points at the Red mask El Muerto. The white mask El Muerto nods in agreement:
“That’s right, we are about to begin the hunt and for that, we will need all the members of Sabia Regueli to be present…” El Muerto grabs Victoria’s face; “GYYAHHH LET GO OF ME!”
“We are to hunt down the Seven Cities of Gold!” El Muerto says as he lifts Victoria. Raul and Angela open their eyes wider. Victoria begins to scream:
“HELP...SOME ONE...HELP…”
El Muerto chuckles; “No one will appear, this place is deserted...Victoria, don’t you want to remember what really happened to your parents?”

March 24th, Sun City International High school
Monday, the first day of the week...students went to school as normal...right now, there are 12 students who are in everyone’s conversation...the 15 students who will travel to Mexico on Research Program…
“I CAN’T WAIT...MEXICO HERE WE COME! RIGHT ANGELA!” Victoria walks like her usual self. Angela who is acting shy replies:
“Yeah, this is going to be fun…”
“Let’s go buy some cute outfits and swimsuits...we will definitely hit the lakes over there...let’s tell Marjorie..”
“Y-Y-YEAH…” Angela replies feeling shy. Victoria looks at her and thinks:
“I guess, this is all that we have to do...until “he” gives us the order…”
Uriel walks with Kasumi in the hallway. Kasumi is excited thinking; “I’m walking with Uriel alone...I hope this moment never ends…”

“Kasumi, we’re heading to Mexico next month...I have a bad feeling…”
“You do?”
“Yes, it’s as if something is waiting for us...be prepared…” Uriel enters the classroom, Kasumi stands in the hallway thinking:
“I hope those bad omens will just go away...but let’s see what fate has in store for us…”
Kasumi enters the classroom and says; “GOOD MORNING CLASS...I HOPE YOU’RE READY FOR TODAY!”
***************************************************************************Alejandro came that morning with a sole purpose in mind…after class to find his missing friend...
“Brother, where are you going? The meeting is about to start…” Anastasia says to Alejandro. Alejandro looks at Anastasia and smiles:
“Tell Victoria to begin without me...I have something important to do…”
Alejandro climbs up the stairs, as he remembers some important words:
“Hey Alejandro, please be my friend...I know that I am a loser and a geek...but I don’t want to continue being alone...”
“If I remember correctly, he should be here somewhere…” Alejandro says as he arrives at the rooftop. He looks around and finds a student sitting in the corner, he is playing videogames and laughing on his own.
Alejandro smiles and says; “Found him…” Alejandro approaches the student; “Hey, are you Stefan?”
Stefan looks at him and says; “Yeah...so what?” Stefan looks up and opens his eyes wider; “Wait, aren’t you the Student Council President?”
“Indeed I am, say, would like to join the HISTOREA Club?”
Stefan stands up, with tears in his eyes he bows and says:
“I would gladly love it too…”
Alejandro smiles; “I knew it, his memories of the mind are gone, but his heart still remembers…'' Alejandro scratches his fist and says:
“My name is Alejandro...nice to me you…”
Stefan and Alejandro fistbump one more time like they did on that night.
***************************************************************************
On that night… The Romero family finished eating dinner and decided to go to bed...Luis and Lucia’s memories were erased so that the events involving the Boogeyman didn’t traumatize them…However, the siblings became friends and came to be closer...
Luis finishes tucking Lucia on her bed. Lucia makes a routine question:
“Luis, could you check if the Boogeyman isn’t under my bed or in the closet?”
Luis smiles; “Lucia, remember that the Boogeyman was defeated by the Silver Hero...I remember someone telling me that…”
“Please brother…”
“Oh okay…” Luis looked under the bed and there was nothing there. He goes to the closet and says; “Now then, I hope nothing is here…” He opens the door and a stuffed bear falls on top of him causing him to scream.
“Hahaha...you fell for it..” Lucia says to Luis. Luis grabs the bear and says:
“That’s it, you have won yourself a pillow fight…”
Luis and Lucia begin to play around with pillows and stuff animals like normal siblings.
And in the closet...there was nothing because the Silver Hero and his comrades defeated the Boogeyman...
When you were young...your parents told you about the story of a being that came after those who were naughty and misbehaved...a monster that could come out from under your bed or from your closet…
This is a story that has always existed but where did it originated and is the Boogeyman real?
There is a legend in Sun City that if you go to a deserted region, where a giant tree once stood...if you listen closely...you could hear someone screaming:
“LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!”
And a new story began to spread from the children who were saved...the story of a brave hero dressed in silver who fought the Boogeyman and defeated him…
That legend came to be known as the “Silver Hero of Justice”
“My parents? You know what happened to them?”
“Of course and you as well...Now then, time for you to remember who you really are…Time to learn what your heart really feels...” El Muerto grabs her face tighter and black manna begins to come out of his hand.
