Maya is seen holding a tray of her fallen brother's weapons, she takes a deep breath before taking a step forward. People are seen dancing and singing in respect of the fallen warriors. Maya walks through the crowd with her head hung low, tears threatening to spill as she sees the altar for her brothers. Her mother and father are seen kneeling in mourning as Maya walks to the altar to place the tray down, "In this realm and the great beyond-," Maya starts, "-you honor us with your sacrifice, brothers." She finishes as she looks up at the altar of three jaguars, she closed her eyes before joining her parents behind her.

A certain goddess is seen on top of the temple, looking down at her half-sister. She has a look of anger, but not for herself or Maya... she felt anger to her bloodlust-god of a father. She wished it didn't have to be this way, she wished she could run up to her sister and soothe her sister but to Maya, Y/N was nothing but a heartless goddess, it hurt's Y/N knowing that her sister thought of her as such, but it was bound to happen. She shook her head at the thoughts and teleported back to the underworld to see Zatz. 

Hours go by as people starts leaving one by one, and soon Maya's parents stand up and start to walk away but her father hesitates and reaches his hand out but pulls it back as Maya needs some alone time for a little while and they walk away. Maya has her eyes closed as she sits in front of the altar, the moon then shines onto her and the altar and a glowing butterfly lands on Maya's head, causing her to open her eyes up and the butterfly to leave. A jaguar's growl is heard as Maya continues looking at the altar. Maya sobs and apologizes in Spanish, "If it wasn't for the prophecy-" Maya starts in tears, "I would have been there to fight by your side." She finishes but then a twinkling is seen on one of the jaguar's eyes then golden tears spill out of all three jaguars. One golden tear flows down to a rooster, "Rooster...?", another tear flows next to a skull, "Skull.?" and the last tear flows next to a puma. "Puma?" Maya questions. "Rooster, skull, puma." Maya says not understand what her brothers are trying to tell her. She wonders in confusion and then gasps. "I've seen those symbols together." She remembers in realization. She stands up and start to sprint to the temple but then goes back to say thank you. "Oh! Oh! Gracias, hermanos!" She says quickly as she starts running up the temple, chanting 'Rooster, skull, puma' over and over again. The white-haired lady chuckles at Maya from down below. 

Maya is seen running into the temple but then trips over a stool and woozily says 'Rooster, skull, puma' and then stands up to look at the books on a shelf. Slowly she starts pulling out all kinds of book to see where she's seen the symbols before. It is already daytime as Maya reads out something from a book, "Rooster, skull, puma and little eagle... fighting a two-headed serpent?" Maya reads in confusion, "What? Ugh, okay okay.' She groans out and then pulls out a sort of map-puzzle. "So, wait. So, rotate the sun to get the--" She reads out but then she stands up to see what to do, "Wait, wait. The whole sun?" She says in confusion, she sighs. "This makes no sense, brothers." She says again in confusion but then gasps in realization. "Unless..." She starts then looks back at the puzzle, "Okay, okay, okay! You rotate the whole sun..." She finishes then she shouts in excitement but falls backwards. She looks up and sees the rooster, she looks at in in confusion but then shouts out "Rooster!" in realization.  She tries to pull it together but it's too big and she doesn't have enough strength to pull it together. She gasps and runs towards her parents' room, "Mama! Papa!". 

 Her parents groan in exhaustion, "Por favor, Maya... What is going on with you?" Her father groans out, rubbing his eyes. Maya speed walks win front of them, "Mis hermanos', they came to me in a vision! Like, with gold tears, and there was a rooster, skull, and puma! They said--" but then gets cut off by her parents, "What?" her father says in confusion, "Have you been here all night?' Her mother asks her. Maya ignores the question and runs towards the table, "Papa, please, just spin the table to the left." Maya pleads her father, "Please, just trust me." She tells him. "Maya, you sound loca, mija." Her father tells her but obliges and starts spinning the table, shocking him. "See? It works!" She exclaims to her papa, 'Help me line up the rooster." She tells him and starts spinning it again. "Keep turning" she strains out, and when it was the rooster head was close to its bottom half, Maya told her father to stop. When he did, something opened up and it showed a some sort of wizard. "Rooster wizard" Maya says in awe. "Mama, help me line up the skulls!" Maya asks her mom. The skulls easily line up and something else opens up, Maya laughs as she sees something. "A skull archer." She exclaims in awe. 

The last thing that needs to be lined up is a puma and Maya is able to do it herself. Once it clicks; another thing opens up. "And a puma warrior!" She exclaims. Her father's eyes widen in awe, "Oh my gods." He speaks up. "What does it all mean?" He wonders. "We had the Teca prophecy all wrong al this time. That's why we lost. The real prophecy is that the rooster, a skull, a puma and a little eagle will team up to save the world!" She exclaims, explaining everything to her parents. "Where are we supposed to find these legendary warriors?" Her mother questions, Maya looks over a shoulder and sees a light shining towards something. "I think we're about to find out." Maya speaks out. they follow the light out, "My brothers were right!" She exclaims out, "So if we follow the sunlight, the Rooster Wizard will be in Luna Island, the Skull Archer in the Jungle Lands and the Puma Warrior in the Golden Mountains." She tells her parents, "And according to the ancient scrolls, the Little Eagle shall lead them." She wonders out loud. Her parents look at each other in confusion, "Little Eagle?" They both say in unison, "You were--are both Eagle Warriors!" Maya starts out, and her parents' gasp. "I'm..." She starts and then take a deep breath. 

"I'm the Eagle Warrior to lead them all!" She finishes but then faints. 


(In The Underworld)

Colmillo is seen outside of the weirdly shaped castle. It then shows The God of War on his throne and a snake slithers up next to him, and Y/N is on the throne next to him, messing with a dagger. "Y/N looked so badass out there, Father." Zatz told his father, he chuckles before continuing, "You should have seen her, courageous and-- loyal and... just so hot..." Zatz finished with a lovestruck look. His father, General Camazotz, gasps before pulling Zatz away, "Be quiet, mijo. He will hear you." His father warns him, "You want Lord Mictlan to take your other eye?" He scolds him, Zatz looks down, remembering his past. "Do not get attached. That would be very dangerous, my boy." He tells him softly. "ZATZ!" Mictlan shouts out, "Stand before me, Prince of Bats." He demands, Zatz starts walking towards him, making Y/N straighten up. "Yes, my lord." Zatz says and kneels before him. "This is the last time I will ask you. bring me the Teca princess. Bring her NOW!" He demands very, very harshly. "Cálmate, mi amor." His lover, Lady Micte, tells him, causing him to look back at her. "She will be yours, and her sacrifice will be delicious!" She smiles out maliciously, and he laughs. 

"Acat will bring her to you, my lord." Someone says, 'Good god, not her.' Y/N thinks to herself in annoyance. Mictlan growls, "Your wish is always my command, Lord Mictlan." Acat walks next to Zatz and bows in respect. "Very well, Acat." He simply says with a smile, "Y/N, my sweet mariposa. Accompany Acat and Zatz on their quest for the Teca princess. I trust that you three will bring her back in one piece." Mictlan says, looking at his daughter for a split second as she nods. "It will be our pleasure, my lord." Acat says, getting close to Zatz as Y/N is walking down to join them and glares at Acat. "Alive, please daughter and Prince of Bats." The queen tells her daughter and the prince. "She can only be sacrificed if she's alive, girl." The queen tells Acat. "Of course, my lady." Zatz tells her. "Cross my heart and hope to die." Acat says as something glows on her chest. 'Yea you'll be dead soon enough... Hopefully." Y/N smirks. The queen grunts at Acat, not really liking the girl. "We shall bring her back in one piece, mother. I swear my life on it. If not, then I'll gladly take the punishment." Y/N says in a serious tone, looking at her father. Zatz eyes widen but he shakes it off. 

As they are seen walking off, Acat tries to hold Zatz hand, but he shakes it off, "You're going to get yourself killed, Acat." He hissed out to her, "He's right Acat, you can't be openly flirting infront of Lord Mictlan. Even if you are in his good graces." Y/N growled out to her, not giving her a glance. "You two worry too much." Acat chuckles out. General Camaztoz just looks at them. 

"Sending children to fetch a child?" The queen questions sarcastically, but then laughs. "Husband, you are incorrigible." She tells him with a smile.
