[The Book Of Life] Julia's Journey

CHAPTER 2: FREEDOM OF PIGS, AND A GOAT

The next morning after the Day of the Dead, four little kids run through the street holding their swords, Manolo still has his guitar and his sword as the chicken clears the path for them, Maria jumped to the stair rail and slides then continued running, following Julia doing the same thing, Joaquin did the front flip as he landed and followed them, but Manolo tripped through stairs and held his guitar and followed them.

The girls ran until they came to a halt when they noticed a cute piglet and said, "You're so cute!" Maria said, followed by a charming grey goat emerging from the fence. "Oh my goodness, you're beautiful!" Julia commented as she noticed the grey goat's lovely emerald eyes till the sound of metal grinding drew their attention. Inside the stone structure, a guy is seen sharpening two butcher knives, with the visual sign of three pigs in the boiling pot above. Alongside goats, The tiny goat created a commotion. "Oh, no. On our watch. We have to free the animals!" Julia addressed the boys.

"Huh?" Manolo and Joaquin were perplexed.

Maria said as Julia raises her sword in the air. "Come on, you guys! Let's do this!" and smiled.

"Yeah!" Manolo raised his sword "Hold on, Julia. Don't!" But it's too late, Joaquin exclaimed. Julia slashes the chain lock that was holding the wooden fence in place in half.

General Posada is standing on the stairs of San Angel Plaza, making a proclamation to everybody. "People of San Angel, please! I beg you. After the revolution, we need more volunteers to join this mighty brigade!" One of his four men nearby sneezed, his arm dropped off before the dog took it, and his other arm also fell off. The small child exclaimed as he took it "Woo-hoo!"

"A...heroic brigade to protect us from Chakal." General Posada revealed a WANTED paper with Chakal's face on it to the people. They gasped in fear until a child cried, "Chakal is here!". The child's voice grabs everyone's attention to the empty walkway before they screamed, only to find a baby pig coming down with a bounce. They altogether sigh in relief that is until more pigs arrive with Maria, Julia, Manolo, and Joaquin with them.

"Freeeedoooom!!" While riding on top of the pigs, the sisters yelled. The residents of San Angel yelled once more as the pigs spread over the area. Maria and Julia both chuckle with delight, proud of their method of saving the Pigs.

"Julia! Maria! "What have you done?!?" General Posada exclaimed, enraged with their method of causing trouble.

"Freedom is coming through!" Julia screamed. She then exclaimed as she noticed the pig she was riding was approaching her father. "Stoop!" says General Posada as he stands in his position. Before they collided with the general and knocked him down, Joaquin managed to rescue Manolo from grasping the pig's tail before they collided with the general, knocking him down. Manolo's guitar was shattered by the force as it plummeted to the ground. They landed in fruit baskets at the fruit stand, emerging with fruit tumbling down.

When things get worse, an enraged hog with sharp horns runs from the boardwalk toward General Posada. "Oh no, papa!" Julia exclaimed as she stepped from the pig that had landed near the fountain. She was about to rouse him up when she realized she had switched her gaze away from him and toward the hog racing at her father, She gasped.

she then saw Joaquin from far running to the hog, pushing her dad away, "no!" she shouted as she shuts her eyes with her hand, and took the brunt of the hog's charge, he didn't get wounded and was able to keep his stance while sliding across the public square to a stop.
