Vol. 8 - Chapter 8: The Native Tribe; Sasquatch

Part 1 – Area 5X

In the Yggdrasil branch of Area 5X, Johanna lays on the bed unconscious, on Carter's office, Katsumi waits impatiently to know the whereabouts of Uriel. Heidi comes in with her electronic note pad and says:

"Apparently, Uriel is in the northwestern region of the country in Baker Mountain."

"I see, so the girl we saw was the reincarnation of the white witch," Carter says with a smile. Katsumi has a clueless face and asks:

"What does the white witch has to do with all this?"

Carter stands up and begins to walk around speaking; "It is said that the White Witch's heart is located in that mountain. I thought it was only a legend but it looks like its true, one of five great witches can be resurrected if they get the heart."

"But why is Uriel trying to help her, he knows that she is evil" Heidi says to Carter, he begins to laugh and grabs Katsumi's shoulder:

"Tell her Katsumi"

Katsumi sighs with her eyes close and smiles saying; "Uriel is the kindest person there is, he must have made a deal with Samantha in order to save Johanna."

"Ding, ding, ding, ding we have a winner, but this might turn bad for the upcoming events." Carter says with a serious tone, Katsumi leaves the room. Heidi looks at Carter and asks:

"What will happen if Alexandria is revived?"

Carter looks at the light and replies; "The gates of the Underworld will be open."

Part 2 - Baker Mountain

Uriel and Samantha walk up the mountain surrounded by many natives that have lances pointing at them. Samantha grabs Uriel's hand, Uriel holds her tightly as they walk passing through the pines. Once again, the sky begins to fall, as they arrive in the middle part of the mountain. One of the native touches the rock; a symbol similar to a bear claw appears and makes the move slowly opening a cave in the mountain.

They enter the mountain, Uriel and Samantha look surprise as they enter the mountain they see a secret forest inside the mountain. There are many houses build along the hills. The mountain has artificial light made by the mountain, Uriel and Samantha walk down a road made of pinewood, they arrive in the house of the tallest hill.

"Greetings Charro Negro" A man says as he walks out of the house, he removes his masks and says:

"My name is Big Foot; I am the chief of this Tribe known as Sasquatch. We've been expecting you."

Big Foot (?) is a large man with a muscular body, great height, brown skin with no hair, he has yellow eyes. He holds a Lance and has bear fur covering his part of the body, a vest and a loincloth.

Uriel looks shocked and begins to ask; "How were you expecting me, how do you know who I am?"

Big Foot smiles and replies; "Let me tell you a story; 100 years ago, a man who claim to be El Charro Negro came to this mountain and defeated the previous leader, he became a member of our tribe, and left us with a special task; it was to guard the treasure that's hidden in this mountain. He said that one day his successor will come to get that treasure and will decide what to do with it."

Uriel looks at Samantha who is smiling at him; Uriel looks at Big Foot and says:

"Take me to the treasure, I am El Charro Negro, the successor and I need to have it now."

"Very well, follow me." Big Foot says as he begins to walk down the hill. Uriel and Samantha follow him towards the deepest part of the mountain, in that place there were many mysterious drawing in the walls, they arrive to a giant figure made of wood, it had the form of an ape, and it had its arm extended holding a special box.

Uriel begins to her the beating of the heart, Samantha smiles with excitement and begins to scream:

"YES THAT'S IT, THAT IS MY HEART!"

She begins to walk forward but she is stopped by Big Foot who extended his lance and says:

"Stop right there, you mustn't touch the treasure."

Samantha begins to tremble; she begins to release manna at high volume and says:

"GIVE ME MY HEART BACK!"

Big Foot begins to laugh and says:

"So the heart is related to you, however I cannot allow you to have it."

Big Foot begins to release an enormous amount of manna causing to wind gather at high speed.

Uriel steps forward and says:

"You told me I could have the treasure."

"Of course you can, but you must earn it as well like you predecessor did."

Uriel releases manna clashing with Big Foot, Uriel glares at him and asks:

"What do I need to do?"

"You must defeat me, young one without any help." Big Foot says, Uriel takes a deep breath and begins to think with his eyes close about Johanna. He opens his eyes and looks at Big Foot:

"I accept your challenge."

"Very well, the challenge will begin immediately" Big Foot replies as he disappears and appears in front of Uriel punching him and sending him flying towards the mountain wall.

(BBBBBBOOOOMMM)

"PREPARE YOURSELF CHARRO NEGRO" Big Foot screams with great intensity.

Part 3- Rio Grande City- Ministry of San Juan

In the ministry of San Juan, Fabiola is sitting in the corner looking down ever since she saw Uriel kissing Chloe, her sisters try to cheer her up by doing all sorts of things but she doesn´t move from that corner. Valerie enters the room and pats Fabiola in the head as she says:

"Cheer up; you can totally see that it was Chloe Diamont who kissed Uriel, and not the other way around."

"You think so?" Fabiola asks with a shaky voice and tears in her eyes. Valerie smiles and replies:

"Sure, you know Uriel and how he gets into trouble."

Fabiola stands up and says; "You´re right, plus he is a pervert"

"He sure is, however he is very innocent" Valerie laughs with Fabiola. Abril and Mariana sigh with her eyes close as they say:

"It looks like big sister is going to be okay."

"Look, Uriel sent a picture of her with an autograph dedicated to us." Abril says to Mariana who reacts of excitement. Suddenly they feel a vicious stare from the entrance door, and it was Fabiola with a "Red aura" coming out of her. Both of them say at the same time:

"We´re sorry!"

Valerie goes to Daniel´s room; she knocks the door and opens it saying:

"HEY BROTHER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Daniel was busy working in the computer. Valerie plays with him saying:

"Are ou watching some hentai?"

"Shut up Valerie, I busy here" Daniel says with qa serious tone, Valerie changes her face as she sees in the computer and asks:

"What´s going on?"

"Something really strange, at first I thought it was a mistake but Uriel is in the northwestern region of the country inside a mountain. First his presence disappeared from the radar, but now it appeared again with great intensity and another appeared beside him with the same amount of energy with him." Daniel explains with a nervous voice, Valerie sees the monitor and asks:

"Do you think that he is trouble, wasn´t he supposed to be in Sin City?"

"I don´t know but something strange is happening to him, I tried calling him but his phone is out of range." Daniel replies as he shows Valerie that he made 20 calls. Valerie puts her hands together and begins to pray:

"Dear Lord, please protect my Big Brother"

Maria walks from the grocery store with stuff for dinner, she walks along the side walk and greeting the people that pass by. Suddenly she feels a chill in the air, she stops to look at the sky, the day was about to finish and creates a twilight in the sky.

"There you are mija, I was waiting for you" Sister Griselda says as she walks towards her. They begin to walk to the Ministry together as Sister Griselda begins to say:

"I heard from your children that Uriel is in the Northwestern Mountains where the Sasquatch tribe I located."

"Do you know about the Sasquatch tribe, Sister?"

"Of course, they were really famous 50 years ago, when the whole Big Foot news spread, the monster of the mountain similar to the Yeti in the Himalayas. That tribe is spread around the country where the mountains are located, do you know why?"

"No, I don´t know sister, why do they live in the mountains?" Maria asks with confused expression. Sister Griselda smiles and replies:

"It is because the mountains are the most sacred areas because they are rich in manna. If one were to challenge them, they would lose, because they know how to absorb manna better than anyone does. The tribe lives in the tallest mountains to gain control over the manna."

"So, they are strong, I guess that is similar to the esper suits from Yggdrasil right?" Maria asks Sister Griselda, she looks at Maria and says:

"You are correct, Yygdrasil got the idea form the people in the mountains, I would never want to face them head to head."

"I hope Uriel will be safe and not face one of them." Maria says as she looks at the sky that is turning dark and the stars begin to come out.
