Ayame: Looks like I've arrived at the place. Now I'll try to find the address of the family of magicians in charge of the city. Wow! That in the distance is the Popocatépetl. I can't help but remember Mount Fuji; it's like the Mexican Mount Fuji. Señor Popocatépetlu-san. I'm glad I managed to get this little bracelet; though it doesn't seem like it, it's a Mystic Code that will help me improve my Spanish. Hola amigous, a mí me gusta el burritou gruande. I think I got it.

Ayame's Spanish was very bad and made no sense, but luckily one of her friends was quite good at creating useful Mystic Codes.

::: Mexico, Popotitlán, Southern Outskirts :::

The unknown man appears on the scene, no longer wearing his prisoner's clothes. It's a small poor neighborhood, the houses are made of concrete, and most are unfinished, the streets are dirt, and there are no streetlights.

????: Damn it, open up, damn door! It's been three years since I was last here.

The man managed to force the door and enter the small house. The noise scared someone inside.

**????:** Who's there? I warn you, I have a weapon; I'll call the police!

The woman had a machete in her hands, pointing a flashlight in fear, trying to see who had broken into her house.

**????:** Calm down, Rosa, it's me.

**Rosa:** You! What are you doing here?

Her eyes filled with tears; she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

**Rosa:** Why? Why are you here, Eduardo?

She said emotionally, her voice breaking.

**Eduardo:** I had to come to see you; I decided I had to get out.

**Rosa:** But Eduardo, you're a convict, why did you escape? They'll hunt you down, and now you'll never be able to get out again.

**Eduardo:** That doesn't matter, woman; it's been three years since that time.

**Rosa:** You Killed a man, Eduardo! You have charges of assassination and rape!

Rosa couldn't stop crying; Eduardo's presence was too much for her.

**Rosa:** You shouldn't have come! You should have stayed there!

**Eduardo:** What are you talking about!

Author's note: Text in all caps implies the characters are shouting; I do this to make it look more dramatic ;)

**Eduardo:** You know I didn't do it! I going to kill that guy, and I would do it again! But I would never touch a hair on my daughter!

Eduardo couldn't hold back his tears; he fell to his knees, looking at the ground. His voice calmed down, going from loud shouts to soft sobs.

**Eduardo:** I loved her! She was my world, my life, my princess; you were my family, the most important thing to me.

The tears dried up; his expression changed suddenly, his eyes, which expressed sadness and helplessness, turned into a dark, furious look.

**Eduardo:** There's nothing more to be done; I will find each and every one of them and make them pay, I'll eliminate every one of them.

**Rosa:** No, Eduardo, please let it go.

**Eduardo:** I'm sorry, Rosa, but that's the only reason I escaped; I can't let those people be free on the streets. I swear I'll kill all of them!

Eduardo would stay the night at his ex-wife's house.

### ::: Mexico, City of Popotitlán, Hin Hotel :::

**Ayame:** Everything is ready, I have the address, and I'm settled in this hotel. It's 9:00 PM. I'm not sleepy at all; in Japan, it must be daytime. Well, I should start. If I'm not mistaken, if the ritual has already begun, I should be able to summon my Servant here. Yes, it would be dangerous to arrive unprotected; it's better to summon my Servant first, that will give me a great advantage. Oh Ayame, you're so clever, obviously, you're the heir of one of the most important magician families in the world.

Ayame heads to the building's terrace.

**Ayame:** Who would have thought that there would be such huge and beautiful cities in Mexico, maybe we should avoid judging places without knowing them. Very well, I put the mercury here and draw a magic summoning circle. Getting the mercury is expensive, I could have sacrificed chickens, but that would be too savage, besides, what fault do the poor chickens have?

Ayame drew her magic circle on the building's terrace. Not everyone can get to these places, but by shooting mana at a few locks and hypnotizing a few employees, anything is possible.

**Ayame:** Perfect, my circle is ready. Now a few gems and the spell... Wait a moment, should I stand in the middle of the circle or in front? Well, if I stand in front, where will the Servant appear? Phew, I think I almost made a stupid mistake, what would Mr. Servant think of me if I did that nonsense? He'd probably make fun of me and think I'm an idiot. Very well, very well, I'm ready.

Ayame prepares, closes her eyes while holding some gems in her right hand, and begins to recite.

**Ayame:** Oh silver and iron,
Oh stone of the foundations, oh Archduke of the Pact.
Hear me in the name of our great master, the Archmage Schweinorg.
May the descending winds be like a wall,
May the gates in all directions be closed, rising over the crown, and may the path of three branches from the crown to the Kingdom turn.
Closed. Closed. Closed. Closed. Closed.
Five perfections for each repetition.
And now, may the filled seals be annihilated in my place!
May your body rest under my domain, may my destiny rest on your sword.
If you submit to the call of the Holy Grail, and if you will obey this mind, this reason, then you will respond.
I make my vow here.
I am the one who becomes the virtue of all Heaven.
I am the one who is covered with the evil of all Hades.
You, seven heavens, dressed with a trinity of words,
pass through your restrictive rings, and be you the hands that protect the balance.

### ::: Betancourt Mansion :::

**Jonathan:** Everything is ready, this is where it all begins and ends.

Jonathan is in a basement, the fog covers the place, and from the fog emerges the figure of a slender woman, her hair orange and with an imposing voice she speaks to him.

**????:** Well, then... are you my Master?
