Vol. 4 - Chapter 4: The Feathered Serpent.

Part 1- Near the Shopping District.

"Xochitl. Xochitl where are you?" Ahide screams desperately looking for his sister. He walks around asking for his sister but nobody knows where she is and some do not understand his language.

"I see you are looking for you sister." A man with a skeleton mask says to Ahide. Ahide turns around and sees the man.

"Hello boy, My name is El Muerto." El Muerto says causing Ahide to freeze of fear. El Muerto comes closer and puts his hand in Ahide's shoulder and a serpent tries to bite him.

"Hahaha, I see your pet is active today, well come with me and I'll show you where your sister is boy." El Muerto says opening a black portal sucking them slowly and both of them disappear.

Meanwhile in Dr. Ortiz's group, the group was walking in the pyramids, Dr. Ortiz noties a student missing and says:

"Hey where is Aleister I don't see him."

Raul touches the shoulders of both Doctors and says: "He is all right, don't worry"

The doctor's are hypnotized and say: "Everyone is hear, let's move on"

"You sure you are okay?" Johanna says to Katsumi who has barf bag.

"Yes I am fine, let's go to where Uriel is" Katsumi says as she holds the bag tightly.

The two of them head to Xochimilco, however they are still far away.

Part 2 – In the River of Xochimilco.

Uriel and his students decided to go eat in the famous boats called "Trajineras." A special type of large boat where people enjoy their dinners, it has many decorations, and a great board with the word "Mariachi" written on it. They decided to eat a traditional food: "Chilaquiles" which consist of tortillas, cheese, onions and "chile." The group was eating together along with the little girl Xochitl.

"Hey teacher, who is that girl?" Marjorie asks Uriel, Uriel looks at the girl and says:

"Her name is Xochitl, she got lost and I couldn't find her brother so I treated her to eat."

Alejandro then says: "Hola como te llamas?" (Translates: Hello, what is your name?)

"Xochitl" The girl says with a timid voice. Xochitl looks at Uriel and says:

"I want to see my brother, please take me to him."

"Don't worry I will take you to him after you finish your food." Uriel answers pointing at Xochitl's food. Xochitl begins to eat quickly, Uriel eats as well. He feels that all of his students are looking at them with a suspicious face, Uriel looks and them and says:

"Is something wrong?"

"Teacher what language were you speaking to that girl, we couldn't understand you?"

Uriel realizes that he and Xochitl were speaking ancient Aztec language. Uriel thinks to himself: "That's right, that Viejo told me about how I broke the barrier language when he transfer his powers, now I can undertand all the language and speak fluently."

"Well she is speaking ancient Aztec, I happen to know a little." Uriel says as he laughs scratching his head.

"Wow he is a genious." Angel and Crespo say out loud. Marinette and Madeleine hug Marjorie and with a low tone they say:

"You sure picked a genius ehh"

Marjorie blushes and says to them: "Shut up"

After they finished eating they get off the boat, Uriel walks with Xochitl who is holding his hand. Marjorie frowns because she feels jealous. The twins are talking in the back with the boys fooling around as they walk.

As they get close to the edge of the river there is a boy waiting for them. The boy has a purple sweater, black shorts and black tennis shoes. "Brother" Xochitl says in the Aztec language, Uriel smiles at her and says:

"See we found him let's go"

As they were getting close to Ahide, Uriel feels a sinister aura coming out of him. Ahide looks at Xochitl and says: " Xochitl hurry and come over here, this guy is the bad guy"

Xochitl looks at Uriel scared and asks: " Are you really the bad guy?"

"No, you got it wrong"

The others don't know what Uriel and the kids are talking about so they stand in the back. Uriel lets go of Xochitl's hand and tries to explain:

"I am not the bad guy I just wanted Xochitl to find you"

"If you are not the bad guy then answer me this question: Are you the Charro Negro? I can see your evil Aura"

Uriel's eyes open up more and he feels shocked because the boy knows his identity. Uriel looks down thinking what to say. Xochitl moves him around and asks:

"Are you that evil being?"

Uriel lifts his face and says: "Yes, I am El Charro Negro"

"I thought so" Ahide answers and manna begins to come out of his body. Xochitl runs to her brother's side.

"What's going on teacher?" The students ask Uriel as they see him shaking. Uriel turns around with a frightened face and screams:

"GUYS YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!"

At that moment wind blows harder and the manna turns green. Ahide extends his arm and a little serpent comes out of his sleeve, the serpents eyes begin to glow.

(RRRAAAAAWWWW)

A huge roar is heard, the serpent begins to grow bigger and bigger. The wind blows harder forming a tornado blowing away the stands and causing people to run away from the scene. The six students are paralyzed from what they are seeing.

"YOU NEED TO RUN GUYS!!!" Uriel says as the wind stops and the figure of a giant serpent appears in the dust cloud. The serpent extends its wings and roars one more time:

(RRRRRAAAAAWWWW)

The students are frightened on what they are seeing. Uriel is thinking about transforming in front of them but doubts in exposing his identity. The cloud clears revealing a Feathered Serpent; the serpent's belly is orange, the head of the serpent has a pattorn of red and blue feathers. It has blue eyes, fangs, and a serpent's tongue slithering. The body has green and red scales covering it all around until its tail. The wings inside has white feathers with the side being red. The outside of the feathers are green as well.

"The Guardian God: QUETZALCOATL" Ahide says completing the transformation. Uriel is stunned by it and turns around to look at his students and screms:

"ALEJANDRO!!!!"

Alejandro reacts and says: "Yes teacher"

"I need you to protect Marjorie, Angel and Crespo protect Marinette and Medeleine."

The three students understand, they grab the girls' hands and begin to run away Uriel then says: "DON'T LOOK BACK AND RUN FOR YOUR LIVES"

Alejandro screams: "BE SAFE TEAHER!!!"

(RRRAAAAAWWWWW)

Quetzalcoatl attacks Uriel, he manage to dodge his face.

(BBBOOOOMMMMM)

A huge shock is created blowing everything away. Aleandro and Marjorie fall from the shock wave, and the four students who were running get blown away as well. But at that moment a black portal opens and specter hands grab the four students pulling them in the portal.

"Are you alright?" Alejandro asks Marjorie who is bleeding from her forehead.

"Y-Y-Yes it's just a scratch. But where are thee others?" Marjorie answers searching for the others who disappear.

(RRRRAAAAAWWWW)

Quetzalcoatl tries to get Uriel however he keeps up dodging him. Ahide and Xochitl are below Quetzalcoatl. Uriel gets distracted by seeing Alejandro and Marjorie, Quetzalcoatl hits Uriel with his tail.

(BBBBBOOOOMMMM, SSSSPPPPLLLLLAASSSHH)

Uriel falls into the river, Marjorie and Alejandro are shocked and Marjorie screams:

"UUUURRRRRRIIIIIEEEELLLL!!!!!!"

Part 3- Near the shopping district

"I can't believe it, Quetzalcoatl has appeared." Dr. Ortiz says with a surprise face. People begin to run as they see the giant serpent.

"I must see it closer, kids run away as fast as you can!!" Dr. Escobar says to the students as she follows her husband. The three students decide to follow them but Raul, Angela and Victoria stand still. Suddenly a black hole begins to suck them making them disappear.

Ana turns around and sees they are gone and says:

"Where did they go?"

"They chickened out and ran away" Antoinne says to Ana as they decide to go with the Professors.

Part 4- Near the River.

"UUURRRRRRIIIIIEELLL" Marjorie screams at the river as she desperately tries to find Uriel. Alejandro pulls her away and says with tears in his eyes:

"Believe in him. Right now I must keep you safe, it was an order!!"

Marjorie with tears in her eyes nods and they both begin to run a away from Quetzalcoatl.

(RRRRAAAAAAWWW)

Quetzalcoatl notices Uriel's aura in Marjorie and Alejandro as well. Ahide then says:

"They are evil as well, killed them"

"Wait brother they are nice people" Xochitl says while grabbing his hands.

"Cortez seemed like a nice person but he betrayed everyone." Ahide says causing Xochitl to have a flashback of events from the past where flames and blood were present. She lets go of Ahide's hand and says: "Very well brother"

As soon as the Serpent is going to attack Marjorie and Alejandro:

(SSSSPPPPPLLLLAAASSSHHH, BOOOOOMMMM)

Uriel comes out of the river and punches Quetzalcoatl causing it to fly away a short distance. Marjorie and Alejandro see Uriel and scream his name. Uriel sees them and says:

"YOU FOOLS RUN!!!"

The serpent once again charges at him and begins to gather manna in his mouth. Uriel notices and begins to think:

"I must do it, sorry everyone I must protect these two!!"

"MARJORIE AND ALEJANDRO I'M SORRY FOR THIS BUT PLEASE TURN AROUND AND DON'T LOOK BACK" Uriel yells at them as he faces forward looking at Quetzalcoatl.

"Listen muchacho, nobody needs to see you or they will be in danger, if somebody other than Katsumi sees you, you must kill them, however if something were to threatened your loved ones lives go ahead, FAMILY IS FIRST" Uriel remembers Juan lecture and says:

"I'm sorry Tio but I considered my students as part of my family."

Uriel extends his right arm to the side and holds it with his left arm and begins to chant:

"YO SOY EL JINETE , YO SOY INICIO, YO SOY EL FINAL. YO SOY EL CHARRO NEGRO!" (Translates: I am the horsemen, I am the beginning. I am the end, I am El Charro Negro).

"Be ready you Serpent, Now its personal" Uriel screams as he begins to transform.
