A few kilometers next to the Volcano:

Popocatepetl is an active volcano located in central Mexico. It is located in the territorial limits of the states of Morelos, Puebla and the State of Mexico. It is located about 72 km southeast of Mexico City.

A portal opens a few kilometers away from the volcano…Guarding the volcano, a large military unit with over a thousand men, surrounding the Volcano…next to them, over a thousand Sombras waiting for an imminent attack…

Near the Volcano…a small forest serves as the perfect hiding spot for the group…

“It appears they are expecting us…bambino…” Giovanni, who is looking from a pair of binoculars.

“Now what do we do? There are a lot of foes to deal with…and that’s just outside the volcano…” Sister Veronica complaints about the situation.

Dr. Ortiz looks with the binoculars; “There is a small cave located south east from the volcano…nobody knows it because I found it by accident 20 years ago…if we take that route, we could reach the center without being detected…”

“YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE GUYS!” Sister Veronica points to the giant sombras. Giovanni sighs with his eyes closed; “You, I keep forgetting that you are just a girl…”

“Now…now…no need to panic monjita…I have a plan…” Felicitas pats Veronica’s head; “Hey let go…”

“How are you doing Uriel?” Felicitas looks at Uriel who is sitting in a branch of a tree. Uriel opens his eyes and jumps down; “I’m okay…don’t worry about it…”

“Good, because I have a final lesson for you…” Felicitas looks at Kasumi; “Alright hija, time to gather everyone and get this show started…”

Kasumi who is still “petrified” nods in agreement. Uriel looks at her; “Is something wrong?”

“N-N-No…nothing…” Kasumi blushes and avoids looking at him. “Uriel, you can be so dumb sometimes…” Alejandro chuckles along with Felicitas. Alejandro notices Ana looking at the volcano thinking; “Hermanos…Antoine…”

“Don’t worry, those guys are strong…they are alive…and well…” Alejandro tries to cheer her up. Ana looks at him; “Are you seducing me?”

“What…no…I was cheering you…and fulfilling my role as the president…seriously…”

“Hahaha…you’re so sentimental sometimes you know that?” Ana passes Alejandro as she says; “Thank you…you are weird but you can also be cool sometimes…”

Alejandro blushes as he chuckles; “You give me too much credit…” Ana walks as she thinks; “You were right Marjorie…this guy can be a good friend…”

“Okay, just like we talked before, I will serve as a distraction…when I give the signal…you guys are going to run towards the secret route…” Felicitas takes a step forward. Alejandro looks at her worried; “Wait, you’re going to fight alone?”

“Fufufu…don’t look so worried about me…boy, you should worry about them…” Felicitas pats Alejandro’s head. She looks at Uriel; “Now then, muchacho, come with me for a little bit…I have one final lesson to teach you…”

“You’re going to take him?” Kasumi asks worried, Felicitas looks at her and smiles:

“Don’t worry dear, he will catch up to you…” Felicitas grabs Uriel’s shoulder; “Let’s get the party started…”

(SSWWIISSHHH)

Both of them disappear from their sight. Kasumi sighs with her eyes close; “Okay then, let’s get moving…Dr. Ortiz, please lead the way…”

“Right, follow me…”

The group heads towards the secret pathway…

***************************************************************************

Felicitas Santa Cruz vs. El Muerto’s Army

Near a 10 km radius, the Mexican Army guards the only entrance to the Volcano…the 100 soldiers were brainwashed by El Muerto…Alongside the army, almost 100 Sombras stand guard as well…Felicitas and Uriel arrive at a hill in front of the army…

“That 's weird…I thought you needed a Shadow Tamer to control the Sombras…why are all those Sombras gathered there?” Uriel analyses the situation. Felicitas takes a step forward; “Well, in this day and age, you don’t need to be a Shadow Tamer…there are other ways to control Sombras Uriel…”

(BBBOOOMMM)

Felicitas releases an enormous amount of mana in the air. The Sombras notice the mana and head straight towards Felicitas.

“What are you doing?” Uriel exclaims as he covers himself from the massive amount of wind. Felicitas draws her sword; “Well, I am the distraction afterall…Now listen up Uriel…this is my final lesson to you…I know you are going to face those Gods and I am not going to stop you but hear me out…”

(SSSLLLAASSHHH BBBBOOOMMMM)

Felicitas swings her swords and cuts the ground creating an explosion, blowing away the Sombras. “EL ENEMIGO…TODOS A SUS PUESTOS!” (THE ENEMY, EVERYBODY TO YOUR POSITIONS!) The Soldiers get ready to attack.

“Felicitas, what are you doing?”

“Uriel Di Fiore…the Art of the Mariachi is an art meant to be free…It must give you freedom and it’s important for you to know how to express this art…I saw your battle against Quetzalcoatl…you were tense…”

Uriel recalls the battle. Felicitas grabs her skirt with one hand and her sword on the other; “In order to express the art to its maximum, you must relax your body at the moment you fight…think about when you're dancing…you must hear the rhythm of your own soul and follow the rhythm of the heart…that is what the rhythm sense is…let me show you…”

The Sombras charge towards them. Uriel prepares to fight, Felicitas stops him; “Don’t move and watch…”

“Campo de la Canción; Coro” (Song Field; Choir) -BAADDUUMMPPP- Felicitas creates a field with musical notes surrounding the area. -BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP- Felicitas closes her eyes and hears the rhythm of the Sombras; “Oh yes…the song I want to listen to…”

“Arte del Mariachi; Huapango Folklórico; Jarabe Tapatio” (Mariachi Art; Huapango Folkloric; Jarabe Tapatio)

-♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫-

Felicitas moves her skirt like a folkloric dance. The first Sombra attacks, Felicitas moves pass it dancing. - SSLLAASHH- The Sombra gets cut in half. More Sombras attack, Felicitas with her eyes close dances with a smile. -SLASH SLASH SLASH- Felicitas cuts and purifies more than 20 Sombras while she dances.

Uriel looks at Felicitas fight with his eyes wide open; “I-I-Incredible, she’s moving according to the Rhythm of her own heart, it's as if her heart is playing music. I can hear as well…she’s having fun…”

-♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫-

“Oh yes…don’t tell me that’s all you got…this is so much fun…I don’t want to stop…Feel the rhythm of the Huapango…” Felicitas continues to move to the rhythm of her heart, she enjoys the fight as she continues to cut the Sombras one by one. The battlefield that looked like a death trap is now a dance floor for Felicitas.

“I see…now she is enjoying her fight…all this time, I was only trying to survive and concentrate on my movements…I guess…I am too boring…” Uriel chuckles as he looks at Felicitas finishing the Sombras.

“Well, it’s nice to see you smile…Uriel…only 15 to go…the moon is so beautiful tonight…I guess I should show you this move before you go…” Felicitas stops in the middle of the remaining Sombras. The Sombras charge at her.

“What will she do now?” Uriel wonders. Felicitas reduces her Song Field to only 1 meter radius around her. Uriel opens his eyes wider; “Don’t tell she will…”

“Campo de la Canción; Finale” (Song Field; Finale)

(BBAADDUUUMMPPP)

At that moment, everyone within 50 kms felt for an instant, the enormous amount of mana that Felicitas released.

“Arte del Mariachi, Cancion de la Luna, Primera Estrofa; Luna Nueva” Mariachi Art, Song of the Moon, First Stanza; New Moon)

(SSSLLLAASSHHHH)

It happened in an instant, the Sombras that surrounded Felicitas disappeared without a trace. Felicitas takes a deep breath and smiles; “I guess that’s all of the Sombras…now only the soldiers are left…”

The dust cloud clears revealing a giant crater surrounding her but only the spot that she is standing remains intact. Uriel looks surprised; “Amazing, the moment she swung her sword. The black mana expanded in an instant creating a sphere that disappeared immediately…so that’s the Finale…”

“You are correct, that was just a demonstration…the Finale can increase your attack tenfold but it also has drawbacks…”

Uriel notices Felicitas sweating and breathing heavily. “¡ATAQUEN!” (ATTACK) The soldiers charge straight at them; “Felicitas, are you alright?”

“Don’t worry about me Muchacho…it’s time for you to go…I will take care of the rest…”

“But your mana, you’re tired…”

“Fufufu, like I said, this time I won’t fight…I will simply sing…” Felicitas makes a violin appear; “Now then, promise me this…” Felicitas hugs Uriel; “Don’t die…please come back alive…grandfather…”

Uriel sighs; “I am not your grandfather…this is weird you know…”

“Fufufu…sorry…”

Uriel looks at the sky; “Hey I know you’re there…” Flying down, a black crow lands on his shoulder; “You’ve been sent here by that woman right?”

The crow nods in agreement. Uriel looks at the sky; “Can you take me to the volcano?” The crow nods once again, suddenly, both of them disappear from sight. Felicitas smiles; “Good luck; “Good luck, Charro Negro…”
