30 Minutes later…

Luis was approaching the meet up location when he saw Carlos's car had been trashed. Pulling over to see if his buddy was alright. Luis was horrified to find Carlos a few feet away. He had been beaten into a bloody pulp. He had several stab wounds that were oozing with blood. After a quick check Luis was grateful that Carlos still had a pulse. Running to the car he grabbed his flashlight and first aid kit and began trying to patch up the man when he came to. "What are you doing." Carlos exclaimed. "I'm making sure you don't die. Now stay still. "Luis said as he applied bandages to Carlos. "Look, forget about me. You don't have much time before those PNP goons come back. "He exclaimed, trying to push Luis away.

"What are you talking about?" Luis replied. "The goons that attacked me. They were after the files I got for you. I made a fake set just in case. They must have figured it out by now which is why you have to grab the documents and leave." Carlos said, coughing out blood violently."Where are they?" Luis asked."S-p-a-r-e." Carols whispered while pointing to the spare tire stowed under his car. Grabbing the car's tire iron Luis quickly removed the spare to find a manila envelope wedged inside. Pulling it out he could hear the sound of approaching cars."Get out of here." Carlos shouted with the last of his strength. Luis wanted to save Carlos,but he knew he'd be caught and end up like him. Climbing into his car he floored it and made his way out of there. However in his haste he had left the first aid kit along with his flashlight. After reaching a safe distance Luis opened the envelope and upon reading the documents inside was horrified at what they entailed…

40 minutes later….

Luis burst through the door breathing heavily."What took you so long. Did you get the mallorcas?" Hector said before he saw the blood stains on his son's clothes."Luis what happened?" Luz asked, worried about her cousin as the 6ft tall boricua went to sit down at the kitchen table clutching a manila envelope."The PNP and PPD are plotting to rig the sovereignty vote." Luis said, taking a deep breath. "What! How do you know that?" Amity asked.

" It was the big news my source was talking about. They killed him! Now they are going to come after me." Luis said as he went to open a beer."Calm down son tell us what happened." Hector said, putting his hand on Luis's shoulder."Well I was going to meet up with my source, a PNP intern named Carlos. When I got there his car was ransacked and he was beaten into a bloody pulp." Luis said as the three were in complete shock at what he was saying."By the time I found the folder they were coming back and Carlos told me to leave him. That the information was far too great." Luis exclaimed as he opened the folder and layed the documents out on the table. As they examined the documents they were horrified to see the extent the PNP/PPD had gone to rig the vote.'Intimidation, bribing election officials,Tampering with voting machines. My god they even have pens with ink that disappears when exposed to high heat." Luz said as she went to look at another document. "Look at this one a list of all the members of this conspiracy." Amity exclaimed as she handed the paper over to Hector. On it was a list of senators' representatives and several mayors from both parties who were all in on the fix. "Puñeta,the bastards won't let us go." Hector exclaimed as he decided to flip on the local news to see if the murder had been reported

We will fill you with any updates as soon as we get them. In other news a petition to Rename Luis Munoz Marin Int Airport after José de Diego has gained enough signatures to be put on the next election ballot. Hector turned off the TV. "Good they aren't aware it was you." Hector said, breathing a sigh of relief. Little did he know that at that very moment several armed gangs were approaching the residence. "Look, we need to get this to the authorities." Amity exclaimed. "Are you mad? This area is run by the got cops in their pocket and would make us disappear. The only way Is to get this to the governor in San Juan." Luis said.

"Good Idea." Luz said as Amity could make out the faint noise of footsteps."Someone's outside." She remarked as automatic rifle fire began pouring into the house"Get down!" Hector yelled as the bullets peppered the reinforced concrete walls of the house. "You all stay here, I'll be back." Hector exclaimed as he crawled his way to the stairs. A few minutes later he returned with a M1911."Dad, like a pistol, is gonna do much against a dozen armed thugs." Luis exclaimed."You got a better idea." Hector looked at Amity and she knew what they had to do."You got a notepad." She asked."Odd request for the moment but here." Luis said, tossing one her way with a pencil. At that moment an armed thug burst through the door only for Hector to drop him with a round to the chest. Hector made his way to the front door where he saw about 15 other gunmen."I'll draw their get those documents out of here." Hector remarked as he exchanged gunfire with the thugs before a bullet hit him in the shoulder."Dad!" Luis yelled as he went over to his father only for a gunman to line his rifle on him.``Should have kept to yourself." He remarked before a wall of vines covered him. Luis turned to see the vines originated from Luz."Leave my family alone!" She yelled, pulling the assailant down and leaving him restrained."Amity you are up to bat." Luz remarked as Luis and Hector looked on with amazement and a hint of fear as Amity transformed before their very eyes into an abomination.``I can handle this, you get them to safety." She remarked as she went out the front door. `Wait you'll be killed." Luis yelled before Luz exclaimed. `She will be fine."

As Amity made her way outside the gunmen were shocked at what was before them.``What is that thing?" One replied.``I don't care if it's el chupacabra, just kill it." Said another as they opened fire only to look on in horror as the bullets went through her harmlessly.``My turn. '' Amity said with a grin as she formed a large fist punching the first one and sending him flying. The other scattered trying to find cover. As the battle outside the house raged Luz and Luis pulled Hector to safety when she noticed a second gunshot wound in his abdomen. "He is bleeding bad." Luis said.``Luis get me medical supplies now." Luz exclaimed as Luis went to the bathroom where the 1st aid kit was located. As he opened the cabinet he saw the bottle of rubbing alcohol had been broken by gunfire. Thinking on his feet he went to the liquor cabinet and grabbed a bottle of Don Q 151. Making his way back to the kitchen he handed Luz the bottle and the 1st aid kit"Not a time for drink." she remarked."We don't have anything else." Luis replied as Luz went to work cleaning his wounds. Meanwhile Amity was making quick work of those PNP goons. Their guns were useless on Amity in this form.

As they ran away Amity grabbed one flinging him in the air. "Fuck this were not getting payed enough!" One yelled, ditching his weapon and making a run to their cars. Even then they weren't safe as Amity climbed on one and with all her might reduced the engine to scrap with a single punch. One thug tried to get her with a knife."You ruined my fav shirt." She remarked as she grabbed him. She could sense the fear in his eyes. Feeling merciful she merely knocked him out with a simple punch. Amity looked around the farm. The gunmen were either knocked out or had fled. Reverting to her normal form she ran back inside the house to see Luz trying to stop Hector's bleeding. "Amity a little help here." Luz remarked. Amity was quick to inspect Hector's wound. "I should be able to fix this." She remarked as she focused and using a healing spell taught to her by Emira the wound disappeared and the bullets popped right out of Hector's body."I guess we got some explaining to do." Luz said as she poured out several glasses of rum as she explained what really happened that year at summer camp…

20 minutes later….

"And that should cover everything." Luz said as her uncle and cousin looked on her with shock."So you traveled to a world of magic and demons where you met amity and others like her and saved it from a genocidal maniac." Luis said."Pretty much Luz said as she used light glyph since the attack destroyed the lightbulbs." Wait, if you need to be in the demon realm to do magic, how are you doing it now?" Hector asked."Oh it's this necklace. It was a wedding gift from my friend Gus. It was infused with titans blood allowing me to do glyph magic anywhere I want. It can also disguise my appearance if need be." Luz explained as Amity took hers off revealing her pointed ears."Wow." Luis said as he was still struggling to process it all."Ok now what. They will be back. We can't just sit here, we need to get to San Juan." Amity said."They will have people trying to stop you at every point. Not to mention the Governor is a busy man. You'll need someone on the inside to even get to him." Hector remarked. It was then it hit Luz." I know we can call Mariana." Luz remarked."Mariana Camacho, the former press secretary of Governor Dalmau. Where did you meet her?" Luis asked."At a lesbian bar." Amity exclaimed."That could work." Luis said as he put the files back in their envelope."It's crazy they won't stop till you are dead." Hector remarked."Dad this is my moment. To live up to our ancestors. The future of our home is in my hands and you're being a coward." Luis said. "Son, they almost killed me. I don't want to lose you like I lost your mother after Hurricane Maria." Hector remarked. "Dad, Mom would have wanted this. It was her dream. If you loved her you would know that." Luis replied. Hector took a deep breath." You are right. She would want this. You have to get that folder to La Fortezla,"Hector said. With that settled Luz called Mariana and asked her to get them a meeting with the Governor. "I can get it done but it's gonna take time. What is this about?" She asked."can't explain on the phone, not meet us by the Governors Place ok." Luz said. Mariana understood and promised she would be there. With that done Luz,Amity and Luis climbed into the jeep and headed out for San Juan."Uncle where will you go?" Luz asked."I'll lay low at an old friend's place, they shouldn't bother me. Now be safe. Last thing I need is to tell your mother you were killed." Hector exclaimed."Don't worry we'll be fine. Now get out of here." Luz replied as the car sped off….

Meanwhile in an unknown location….

" What do you mean you didn't get the documents!" A dark figure yelled into a phone."What,a girl turned into an indestructible purple blob and beat the crap out of you. This is the real world, not some fantasy novel now if you can't get me that file I have other means now fuck off." The dark figure said as they took a puff on a cigar."Intern, get in here." The figure yelled."Yes sir." The intern said terrified.``Send the world to the news. Pin the death of Carlos Rivera on this Noceda boy at once." The individual said as they put out their cigar."At once sir." The intern said "running out of the room."Let's see them get to San Juan now." The man said as he lit a new cigar.
