Alejandro 's group vs. Sombras

Alejandro’s group is near the entrance…

“Ha…ha…ha…” Alejandro breathes heavily as he grabs his left hand. Stefan notices him struggling; “Are you okay bro?”

“Yeah…it’s just that I hit my hand…that’s all…” Alejandro covers his hand. -RRAAWW- Sombras appear at the entrance. Antoine, Crespo and Angel step forward. “Let us handle this Alejandro…” Crespo gathers mana in his hand. “Yeah, you’ve done enough already…” Angel steps in front of him. “Time to get out of here…” Antoine summons flames in his hands.

“You guys…” Alejandro looks at them as they are about to engage in battle. Antoine extends his hand and attacks the Sombras with fire balls. Angel and Crespo destroy the Sombras with blades.

“HOLY COW, THIS FEELS LIKE AVATAR!” Stefan shouts with “stars” in his eyes. “Idiota…stay still…” Ana pulls him as she, Madeleine and Marinette protect Dr. Escobar and Estefan.

Two Sombras get past the boys and head towards them. “I need to help them…” Alejandro, who is in pain, stands up. “Wait Alejandro…let us deal with them…” The twins stop Alejandro.

Both of them extend their hands and create a giant ice block; “Pointes de glace” (Ice Spikes). The twins break the block into spikes and attack the Sombras, destroying them completely.

“Ice? Just like Marjorie…”

“You’re wrong…” Marinette turns the ice into water and Madeleine into fog; “We are water mages…”

(RRRAAWWW)

The Sombras continue to attack, one is about to grab Stefan. Alejandro runs towards him; “STEFAN!”

(SSSLLLAASSHHH)

The Sombra gets cut in half. Everyone is shocked to see Kasumi walking towards them. Alejandro smiles; “Senpai…” Kasumi looks at the rest of the Sombras; “Everyone, don’t move..” Kasumi charges straight at the Sombras with great speed

(SSSLLLAASSHHH)

Kasumi cuts the remaining Sombras in the blink of an eye. She puts away her katan as she takes a deep breath. Everyone is left surprised. “Incredible…she’s strong…” Angel and the other mages nod in agreement.

“Senpai…are you alright?” Alejandro towards Kasumi. Kasumi continues to walk; “I am…not let’s get out of here…the magma level is rising…is Dr. Ortiz ready?”

Alejandro looks everywhere; “Where is Uriel?”

“He’s not coming…hurry…Alejandro…we must keep everyone safe…” Kasumi walks forward leaving Alejandro confused. Kasumi leans on the wall; “I am reaching my limit…my body feels heavy…”

Alejandro feels that the pain disappeared. Suddenly, he sees Trueno approaching them; “TRUENO…OVER HERE!”

Marinette and Stefan who turned around look at the horse heading towards Alejandro. Stefan with “star-shaped” eyes shouts; “WHOA! WHAT’S WITH THAT HORSE!”

“His name is Trueno, he is Uriel’s familiar…pretty cool right?” Alejandro looks at his back and notices the children; “These are Adihe and Xochitl…are they okay?”

Dr. Escobar immediately takes a look at both of them; “They are alright, just unconscious…”

“That’s good to hear…” Alejandro feels relief.

The group continues to head straight to the end of the corridor. At that moment, two Golems attack the guys. The golems charge towards Alejandro. -PPUUMM- One of the Golems grabs Marinette. “MAARRIINNETTEE!” Madeleine screams. Antoine who lies in the ground struggles; “Damn it, mana is not back yet…that gas…”

(RRRAAWWW)

The golem squeezes Marintette and walks towards the exit. Ana and the others can’t do a thing. Alejandro stands up; “It’s no good, even if I run…I won’t make it…that’s right…” Alejandro looks at Kasumi, however, Kasumi is on the ground; “SENPAI!” Kasumi breathes heavily; “I’m sorry, the Saidai mode took a toll on my body…Alejandro…you must save her…”

“But how…I don’t have enough power…” Alejandro looks nervous as he hears the girl screaming from the pain. Kasumi grabs his hand; “You don’t have to be strong, remember, just be smarter, think about your power…what can you do right now…”

Alejandro remembers something from the past…

March 30th, Sun City

During an Yggdrasil meeting…Alejandro brought up an important request…

“Hahaha…what a fool…you want a long distance attack?” Carlos Valverde, a member of Yggdrasil, makes fun of Alejandro. Chelsea hits Carlos; “Oh shut up…why do you want a long distance attack?”

Alejandro looks depressed; “When I fought the Boogeyman…he managed to escape from me for a couple of minutes and during that time, he killed an innocent family…if only I had a pistol or an arrow, I could’ve stopped the Boogeyman…that’s why I want to learn how to summon a weapon just like you Chelsea…”

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple…weapons are created through long periods of training and to be honest, they appear within the Esper Suit…” Shion Saito replies as she sits down next to him. Alejandro looks disappointed, Kasumi enters the room:

“Long distance attacks are necessary…even if you don’t have a weapon, I manage to create long distance attacks using my katana and mana…Alejandro, I believe it’s necessary for you to develop a special technique like that…”

“Really?” Alejandro looks excited, Kasumi nods and looks at Carlos; “Carlos, you will help Alejandro create a weapon…”

“Ehh…why me?” Carlos complains, Kasumi makes a smile with “flames” coming out of her. Carlos gets nervous; “Alright, I will…”

“Perfect…thank you Carlos…” Kasumi smiles, Carlos blushes and avoids looking at her. Carlos looks at Alejandro; “Alright idiot…meet me tomorrow at the ceiling of the school at sunrise…”

“ROGER!” Alejandro answers excited.

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

April 1st, Sun City Highschool

At the top of the school, Carlos and Alejandro began their training...

“Listen up, from now on, you will address me as you lord, you got that?” Carlos makes a smirk. Alejandro yawns and replies; “No way…”

“Why you…I’m you superior…your senpai and you must obey…”

“No…” Alejandro replies, Carlos sighs; “Very well…you know I ‘m doing this for Kasumi senpai only okay…” Carlos lifts his arm as well showing his crest which consists of a circle with two rectangles up and down and chants; “Activate, Gorrion de Safiro, Completo” (Sapphire Swallow, Complete.)

Carlos’ crest begins to spread around his body causing him to shine into a blue color revealing an esper suit.He is wearing a blue short sleeve shirt with long sleeve black jacket with blue borders and black military pants with blue military boots. The back of the jacket has an image of a swallow with bluish borders.

Alejanro also changes into his esper suit. Carlos extends his hand; “Now then, in order to create a projectile, you must focus on visualizing it in your hand” Carlos closes his eyes and gathers blue mana in the palm of his hand, he creates a kunai.

“Now throw it…” Carlos throws it towards a target placed on the roof mesh. -BBOOOMM- “AWESOME!” Alejandro shouts as he sees the kunai hit the bullseye. Carlos shows off; “See, I’m the best there is…”

“Cool, now how do I do that?” Alejandro asks excitedly. “Oh you can’t do that, kunai is my specialty and you are an idiot…” Carlos replies as looks at his backpack. “What did you say?” Carlos throws something at him; “Here catch…” Alejandro receives a baseball.

“A baseball?” Alejandro looks confused. Carlos creates a blue sphere of mana in his right hand; “Yes, you will create a projectile like this one…concentrate on hitting the target with a condensed form of mana and when it hits the target, make the sphere expand.”

Carlos throws it and expands. -BBBOOMMM- “WOAH!” Alejandro looks impressed; “But wait, I can do that…let's do this because we never know when…”

“Calm your horse idiot…first let’s see if you have good aim. Hit the target with your baseball…”

“Piece of cake…” Alejandro throws the baseball, the baseball passes the target and breaks a window; “Oops…” Alejandro laughs nervously. Carlos sighs; “See? Before you create your projectile, you become a pitcher, you need to perfect your aim…”

And so…for the next two weeks, Alejandro practiced pitching with Carlos as they umpire…during that time, he learned how to create a mana sphere in his hand and his aim became a little better…

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

Present…

“Focus you mana, create a sphere…” Alejandro creates a sphere in the shape of a baseball. He takes a deep breath and throws it with force; “Silver Bullet…” The baseball heads towards the Golem holding Marinette. The sphere moves to the right, missing the golem; “No…but I must expand it…now…”

Alejandro concentrates and closes the palm of his hand, thinking about Carlos’ lecture; “Listen you idiot, when the ball is about to hit its target, imagine it as a popcorn in the microwave, once it’s ready, it pops…imagine that and you will be fine…”

“That’s so lame…but I have no choice” Alejandro imagines the popcorn. -BBBOOMMM- The explosion happens behind the golem, distracting the golem and letting Marinette go; “GGYYAHHH!”

“Great! Now is my chance…” Alejandro charges straight at the golem, charging mana in his hand; “Silver Punch”. -BBBOOOMMM- Alejandro destroys the golem with ease. Marinette looks at him in action as she blushes; “Wow, I didn’t know he was this cool…”

(BADUMP)

Alejandro feels pain in his left hand once again; “Damn it…my hand…it hurts…”

(RRRAAWWW)

Another golem prepares to attack, Alejandro gathers mana one more time. -BBBOOOMM- Suddenly, a fireball and a wind blade destroy the golem with ease.

Antoine walk in front of Alejandro; “You have my thanks…Alejandro Sanchez…you are truly an extraodinary man for saving my sister…”

“You are worthy of being the Student Council President chaval…” Angel and Crespo walk alongside Antoine.

Alejandro smiles; “You’re exagerating…”

“MARINETTE!” Madeleine hugs Marinette with tears in her eyes; “I though you were going to die…”

“I’m okay sister, thanks to him…” Marinette walks towards Alejandro; “Mercy…you are my hero…” Alejandro opens his eyes wider as Marinette kisses him on the cheek. Marinette smiles and runs to Antoine’s side.

“You did a great job, I’m proud of you…” Kasumi holds him with a smile. The group runs towards the exit.

The magma levels increase once more. Everyone heads towards the exit, Stefan runs besides Alejandro; “Is it alright to leave Uriel behind?”

Alejandro makes a confident smile; “Of course…Uriel is the strongest among everyone here…he’ll catch up…” Alejandro looks behind thinking; “Don’t you dare to die on us…buddy…”
