However, Ernesto respects Jacob's decision to investigate alone, understanding the importance of their individual paths.

Ernesto's determination to protect Jacob is highlighted when he injects himself with the antidote to rid himself of his superpowers and plans to do the same for Jacob once they reunite. This showcases his selflessness and willingness to make sacrifices for the well-being of his friend.

In Ernesto vs Jacob: Ultimate Battle, Ernesto's personality undergoes a series of challenges and transformations. Initially, he is content with his new role as the Head of Government, assigned to enforce the signing of an accord for the removal of superpowers. Ernesto displays loyalty to his position and believes it is for the greater good. However, when Jacob refuses to comply, Ernesto becomes more authoritarian, resorting to forcibly apprehending him. As the story progresses, Ernesto's dedication to upholding the law and protecting the government's interests becomes increasingly questionable. He becomes involved in a power struggle with Jacob, leading to intense physical confrontations and a deepening rift between them. Ernesto's decisions are influenced by his boss and the corrupt organization K.E.S.E. (secretly founded by Kesler), of which his boss is a part. He initially believes he is fighting against Jacob's perceived threat to society.

However, Ernesto's perspective shifts when he realizes his boss's true allegiance and the extent of the corruption within the government. He witnesses the ruthlessness and disregard for human life displayed by K.E.S.E., leading to doubts about his own actions and motives. Ernesto's character begins to show remorse and regret as he realizes the consequences of his choices. Ultimately, Ernesto's transformation culminates in his decision to resign his position and publicly reveal the truth about the government's involvement with K.E.S.E. He takes responsibility for his role in the conflict and acknowledges Jacob's innocence. This act displays a newfound sense of integrity, courage, and a commitment to fighting against corruption.

Ernesto's reunion with Jacob and their mutual forgiveness signifies personal growth and a renewed alliance. They pledge to work together, alongside Jarliev, to combat the remaining K.E.S.E. members and protect innocent lives. Ernesto's character has evolved from a rigid enforcer of the law to a fighter for justice and an advocate for the truth.

In Ernesto vs Jacob: The Awakening, Ernesto's personality exhibits a mix of determination, resourcefulness, and a sense of justice. He is committed to putting an end to the K.E.S.E. organization and their nefarious activities. Ernesto shows his dedication by actively participating in the planning and execution of missions to ambush the organization's strategic points. During these missions, Ernesto displays a resilient and tenacious nature. He engages in close combat with members of the K.E.S.E., enduring physical confrontations and fighting back with all his might. Despite facing difficulties and sustaining injuries, Ernesto maintains his focus and remains determined to eliminate the threat posed by the organization.

While Ernesto is initially angry with Jarliev for keeping his past involvement with the K.E.S.E. a secret, he eventually understands that forgiveness is necessary. He acknowledges that the past should not overshadow their common goal of dismantling the organization. Ernesto prioritizes the mission over personal feelings and chooses not to include Jarliev in their next operation due to trust issues, but he remains open to reconciliation.

Later on, Ernesto's curiosity is piqued by the mention of awakening a powerful individual by the K.E.S.E. He realizes the significance of this information and the potential threat it poses. Ernesto becomes even more determined to uncover the identity of this individual and decides to attack another outpost to gain vital information. During the operation, Ernesto's skills as a strategist and tactician shine through. He devises a plan to explode the outpost's entry, enabling them to gain access and engage the members. Ernesto's quick thinking and resourcefulness help him and Jacob neutralize the immediate threat and capture a member for interrogation. Despite the shocking revelations and the return of Kesler, Ernesto remains focused on his mission to eliminate the K.E.S.E. and protect those he cares about.

When Jarliev unexpectedly appears in Ernesto's house, Ernesto is both surprised and relieved. He expresses his concern for Jarliev's well-being and apologizes for his previous decision to cut off communication. Ernesto recognizes the importance of unity against the K.E.S.E. and acknowledges that they must work together to fight the organization. Jarliev (who was being mind controlled by Kesler using a curse) reveals that he has discovered a secret facility belonging to the K.E.S.E. Ernesto immediately grasps the significance of this information and agrees that they should investigate the facility. Ernesto's trust in Jarliev begins to rebuild as they unite in their shared goal. He decides to call Jacob and inform him that Jarliev has been found, but Jarliev suggests they check the secret facility first. Ernesto's willingness to adapt and prioritize the immediate threat demonstrates his flexibility and quick decision-making.

When Jarliev lies to Ernesto about extracting information from a K.E.S.E. member, Ernesto willingly believes him and agrees to check the secret facility. This suggests that Ernesto's trust in Jarliev is gradually reestablished, but it also highlights his vulnerability to manipulation. Ernesto's desire to eliminate the K.E.S.E. and protect his friends remains strong. Upon arriving at the facility, Ernesto falls into a trap and becomes captured by the cultists. Kesler confronts him, revealing their familial connection and offering Ernesto a second chance to join him. Initially, Ernesto resists Kesler's offer to join the K.E.S.E. and tries to fight Kesler in hand-to-hand combat, driven by his determination to defeat the organization and protect his friends. However, Ernesto's efforts prove futile, as Kesler easily overpowers him and defeats him in combat. Following his defeat, Kesler subjects Ernesto to a mind control curse, effectively turning him into a Rarzar. As a Rarzar, Ernesto loses his moral compass and his inhibitions, allowing his dark and mean thoughts to surface without restraint.

The transformation into a Rarzar removes any restraint Ernesto previously had on his negative emotions and behaviors. He becomes devoid of empathy and is willing to hurt or even kill others without remorse. This transformation represents a stark departure from Ernesto's previous character, showcasing the extent of Kesler's influence and the loss of Ernesto's former moral compass. As a Rarzar, Ernesto's actions and decisions are now driven by his dark impulses and the desire to serve Kesler and the K.E.S.E. His loyalty to his friends and his previous goals to defeat the organization are replaced by a newfound allegiance to Kesler's cause. He is assigned by Kesler to capture Jacob and retrieve the spell book, believing that having the entire team together is crucial for their success.

Meanwhile, Jacob takes it upon himself to find a cure for the Rarzar curse affecting Ernesto and Jarliev. He discovers information in the spell book about the nature of Rarzars, including their lack of a soul or moral compass. Jacob learns that there are two possible ways to cure a Rarzar: collecting leaves from the Tree of Life and preparing a solution to inject into the Rarzar's heart or defeating the caster of the curse. As Ernesto and Jarliev track down Jacob using a stolen government app, they arrive near the woods where Jacob is located. They separate to search for him, and eventually, Jarliev confronts Jacob, intending to kill him to prevent further problems for Kesler and the organization. However, Jacob manages to overpower Jarliev and uses one of the syringes filled with the Tree of Life juice to cure him from the curse. Realizing that Ernesto also needs to be cured, Jacob plans to search for him with Jarliev's help, but Jarliev reveals that he has no memory of events since Kesler cursed him. Nevertheless, Jarliev agrees to assist Jacob in locating Ernesto.

Initially, upon Jacob and Jarliev finding him in Scorpius' former headquarters, Ernesto confronts them with his red eyes, taunting Jacob about returning to the place where he suffered for months. However, Jacob presents the syringe filled with the Tree of Life juice and insists on curing Ernesto. He resists initially, displaying anger and disbelief that Jacob was able to cure Jarliev, considering himself to be stronger and more resistant to the antidote. A fierce fight ensues between Jacob and Ernesto, with Jacob dodging and countering Ernesto's attacks. Eventually, Jacob gains the upper hand, striking Ernesto with a piece of wood and injecting the juice into his heart while declaring him free from the curse. Ernesto's red eyes return to normal, and he coughs, feeling both confused and relieved. Upon learning about the curse and apologizing for his actions as a Rarzar, Ernesto expresses gratitude to Jacob for freeing him from the curse. The trio leaves the location and returns to Ernesto's house, where they examine the spell book. Ernesto suggests destroying it, but Jacob proposes keeping it to gather information on defeating Kesler and the K.E.S.E. once and for all.

After being cured from the Rarzar curse, Ernesto experiences a mixture of confusion, relief, and gratitude. He shows a willingness to collaborate with Jacob and Jarliev, suggesting plans and acknowledging the potential benefits of seeking outside assistance. The transformation back to his former self allows Ernesto to regain his moral compass and align himself with the goal of defeating Kesler and the K.E.S.E.

Ernesto takes charge and visits the courthouse to explain the situation, urging the government to take action. However, he declines the offer to work for the government again and expresses his desire to retire once the threat of the organization is eliminated. This decision showcases his determination to protect others rather than seeking personal gain.

Ernesto's leadership and bravery are evident as he plants explosives in the K.E.S.E. facility, eliminating the remaining cultists. Despite being discovered by the cultists, Ernesto fights back, showcasing his resourcefulness and ability to overcome challenging situations. He prioritizes capturing rather than killing the cultists, displaying his moral compass even in the heat of battle.

After the destruction of his house, Ernesto, Jacob, and Jarliev face a daunting confrontation with Kesler and his armed agents. Ernesto attempts to negotiate, hoping to avoid further bloodshed, but Kesler refuses and initiates a violent attack. Ernesto, along with Jacob, Jarliev, and Kuvira, fights valiantly against Kesler's forces, protecting one another and demonstrating unwavering loyalty and camaraderie. The ultimate defeat of Kesler and the destruction of the K.E.S.E. are a testament to Ernesto's perseverance and resilience. Despite the losses they endured, Ernesto, Jacob, and Jarliev emerge victorious.

Their triumph is celebrated two years later, as Ernesto reflects on the sacrifices made and expresses gratitude for the team's unwavering dedication and bravery. In a heartwarming moment, Ernesto acknowledges the bond he shares with Jacob, emphasizing their transformation from enemies to best friends. Ernesto also cherishes the resurrection of his cousin Jarliev, who played a crucial role in Kesler's downfall. Ernesto also found happiness and love with Kuvira, realizing the importance of a strong team and a supportive partner in facing future challenges. His commitment to protecting others remains steadfast, as he acknowledges that new threats may emerge and expresses his readiness to face them.

In the two years following Kesler's defeat and the K.E.S.E. being wiped out, and despite the peace and security that now surrounded him, the weight of the previous battles and the constant danger had taken its toll on him, and he longed for a respite from the chaos and violence that had defined his life. This desire for peace and normalcy reflected a deep-seated weariness that had settled within him. Ernesto's interactions with others during this time revealed a more empathetic side to his personality. Having witnessed the darkness that resided in people's hearts, including his own, he had developed a greater understanding of the struggles and complexities of human nature. This understanding fostered a kindness and compassion within him, driving him to help others and seek redemption for past mistakes.

Ernesto yearned for the simple joys of a normal existence, such as attending university and pursuing his academic interests. The allure of acquiring new skills and engaging in intellectual pursuits became a beacon of hope, pulling him toward a life that transcended the constant struggle. Although Ernesto co-founded a secret organization known as "The Circle of Erjacjar" to continue fighting threats in the shadows, his longing for a normal life persisted, and he often grappled with maintaining a delicate balance between these two aspects of his life.

## Pre-Ernesto vs Jacob

Born into a modest family in Managua, Nicaragua in the late 1990s. Growing up in the late 1990s, he was captivated by the natural beauty of his country and the mysteries it held. From a young age, Ernesto displayed a natural curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. He spent his childhood exploring the rich landscapes of his country, fascinated by the flora and fauna that surrounded him. Ernesto's parents, hardworking and humble individuals, instilled in him the values of kindness, compassion, and the importance of family.

As he grew up, Ernesto was inseparable from his cousins, Kesler and Jarliev, but he was particularly close to Kesler. The two were like brothers, and their shared adventures formed an unbreakable bond between them. Ernesto greatly admired Kesler's outgoing nature and charismatic personality, often following his cousin into mischief and thrilling escapades. Additionally, Ernesto enjoyed spending time with his oldest cousin, Ligia, with whom they would frequently go to the movie theater together.

However, life took an unexpected turn when a tragic event struck Ernesto's family. While traveling, his parents were involved in a car accident that took their lives. The loss left Ernesto devastated, and he was temporarily taken care of by his uncles, Uncle Ramon and Aunt Adela. It was then when he grew even closer to his cousin Ligia and Jarliev, and it was around this time when Kesler distanced himself from them, however Ernesto didn't held any grudge against him.

To forget about the pain that tormented him and as his escape from his problems, Ernesto spent most of his time skating in the streets and parks of Managua, performing tricks with unmatched enthusiasm and grace. His infectious energy and genuine passion for skating drew the attention of fellow skaters, including a boy named Jacob, who was equally skilled on the skateboard. Ernesto and Jacob quickly formed a strong bond, fueled by their shared love for the sport. They spent countless afternoons exploring the city's skate spots, pushing each other to improve their skills, and forging a friendship that would stand the test of time.

Eventually, Ernesto's natural talent and determination on the skateboard caught the eye of a government talent scout who was on the lookout for potential recruits with exceptional physical abilities. Impressed by Ernesto's natural skills, the scout approached him with an enticing proposition – an opportunity to join a top-secret government agency specializing in covert operations. Finding a new purpose, Ernesto accepted the offer and embarked on a new journey. He underwent intense training, learning various combat techniques, espionage skills, and strategies for handling high-stakes missions. Under the mentorship of seasoned agents, Ernesto transformed into a formidable operative, able to navigate through the shadows with unmatched finesse.

During one particularly clandestine operation, Ernesto stumbled upon classified information about a powerful artifact known as the "Elixir of Life." The artifact was said to grant eternal youth and untold knowledge to its possessor. Fascinated by the concept of immortality and intrigued by the potential to change the world with such power, Ernesto became obsessed with the elixir. Despite his extensive training and access to classified information, the elixir's exact location remained a mystery, and it was even believed to be merely a myth. Determined to uncover its whereabouts, Ernesto dedicated himself to investigating any lead or scrap of information that could shed light on the elixir's hiding place.

As Ernesto started his pursuit of the Elixir of Life, the driving force behind his quest became clearer. The loss of his parents in the car accident had left an indelible mark on him. He couldn't bear the thought of ending up like them, dying before his time. The fear of death began to consume him, manifesting as an intense rejection of mortality itself. Ernesto believed that if he could unlock the secret of eternal life through the Elixir, he would be invulnerable to the cruel whims of fate, escaping the clutches of an untimely demise. The lines between right and wrong began to blur, and Ernesto's relentless pursuit took on a morally ambiguous edge. He started resorting to ethically questionable methods in his quest, making him more willing to cross boundaries and break rules that he once held sacred.

In his relentless pursuit for eternal life, Ernesto's life became increasingly intertwined with his work, leaving little time for personal connections. He distanced himself from his uncles and cousins, seeking solitude in order to focus in his quest. Ernesto eventually decided to leave his uncles' home and move into his parents' old house in Blackgrass Meadows, which had been vacant since their passing. Living alone in his parents' house allowed Ernesto to continue to balance his duties as a government operative with his relentless pursuit of the elusive Elixir of Life. It was also around this time that he decided to fill the void in his life with a companion – a loyal and affectionate canine friend. One day, while strolling through the neighborhood, Ernesto came across a litter of adorable Cocker Spaniel puppies. Among them, a particularly charming and playful female with soulful eyes captured his heart instantly. Unable to resist her endearing nature, Ernesto decided to bring her home while also reporting the other puppies to an organization to be adopted. He named the little Cocker Spaniel "Lassie," and she quickly became Ernesto's constant companion, providing him with love and companionship and also becoming a bright source of comfort in Ernesto's otherwise dark and solitary pursuit.

All critical information that Ernesto had gathered during his extensive research on the Elixir of Life was stored on his cell phone, which also contained his cherished memories with his parents and family. The device had become a repository of his past and the key to unlocking the future he sought.

As the weeks and months passed, Ernesto's obsession with the Elixir of Life grew even deeper, and his patience wore increasingly thin. Despite possessing impressive skills as a government operative, he found himself growing more frustrated with the lack of progress in his search. The thought of eternal life consumed his every waking moment, blurring the lines between his mission and his personal desires. Each day that went by, Ernesto's once bright and hopeful demeanor began to undergo a significant change. The weight of his obsession with the elixir and the burden of his secretive government work began to take its toll, slowly corrupting him. He distanced himself from those around him, even pushing away his childhood friend Jacob, fearing that their closeness might inadvertently reveal his darkening path. However, amidst the turmoil, he couldn't help but notice that Jacob possessed a talent that could be of immense use in his quest. While Ernesto had primarily focused on honing his physical skills and espionage abilities, Jacob had developed particularly adept research skills. Ernesto realized that if anyone could help him find the elusive Elixir of Life, it would be Jacob, but he chose to wait for the opportune moment to involve him by any means necessary.

## History

#### **Ernesto vs Jacob**

Ernesto is seen calling Jacob to invite him to skate and hang out, when he arrived to Ernesto's house, they prepared the stuff for skating and went out, after a while Ernesto told Jacob to hold his phone and to remind him to call his cousin Ligia for something important. Shortly later, Jacob told Ernesto to wait for him while he was going to urinate, but accidentally dropped Ernesto's phone without noticing it and left it behind.

Later on, they decided to go to a near store to buy something to eat, after buying the food Ernesto asked Jacob to return him his phone back to make the call to his cousin Ligia, but after not finding it, Ernesto became very upset with Jacob for losing it and attacked him in a fist fight that Ernesto won by knocking out Jacob and leaving him behind.

#### **Ernesto vs Jacob 2**

Three weeks later, the mysterious man sent Jarliev undercover to Ernesto's old house to work as a butler for Jacob so that he can search for a Resurrection Stone in the house to bring him back to life, Jacob immediately hired Jarliev for the job and told him to clean the bathroom because there was something "big" there, as soon as Jacob left the bathroom, Jarliev reported to the his boss and informed him that he was already in the house, he told Jarliev to keep an eye on Jacob and report him about everything that he does or otherwise he would be sorry, Jarliev then began to search desperately for the stone in the furniture.

At the next day, Jacob asked Jarliev if he wanted to eat something, so he went to the store and bought some food to prepare it for them, while Jacob was attempting to prepare the food Jarliev was about to phone his boss to update him but was interrupted by Jacob telling him that he accidentally dropped the food and told him that he was free to go home, which he did but left behind his phone without noticing it.

At the next day, Jacob found the Resurrection Stone buried in the yard and decided to interrogate Jarliev when he comes to the house the next day.

When Jarliev came to the house the following day, Jacob demanded him to know his relationship with his boss and Ernesto, so he revealed him that his boss' name is Kesler, that they were cousins, they are planning to bring Ernesto back to life and to kill Jacob in the process. Suddenly Kesler appeared and demanded Jarliev to know where the stone was as he called him yesterday, Jacob revealed to him that he pretended to be Jarliev in the phone to extract information about them but Kesler then punched Jacob knocking him down and dropping the stone, Kesler then made a ritual to bring Ernesto back to life which they successfully did.

immediately after being revived, Ernesto screamed "I AM ALIVEEE", and then thanked Jarliev and Kesler for helping him, he later attacked Jacob for "attempting to murder him" a few weeks ago, they fought in a fierce fight with Ernesto hitting Jacob in the face and butt with a stick, then Jarliev and Kesler joined him in beating up Jacob until he managed to back down Ernesto with the stick and killed Lassie in the same circle that was used to bring Ernesto back to life, leaving only a stone fragment that could make anything that touch it explode, so he attempted to use it against Ernesto and Jarliev but was distracted by some passing helicopters and threw the stone fragment near him and the explosion ripped off his entire arm, he was later captured and sent to jail by the team.

Later on, the team decided to celebrate with wine that Jacob was sent to prison, with Ernesto stating that it looks like a "high quality wine", but was annoyed that Kesler took a while to open it and didn't served him enough wine to him.

#### **Ernesto vs Jacob 3**

Over a course of one year, Ernesto continued working as a government agent doing different kinds of missions and was aware of a new criminal in town nicknamed "The Ratman" who was using Super Powers to commit crimes.

One day, Jarliev was helping him with some "homework" from the government until they were approached by Kesler, Ernesto told him that they should go out skating because it was boring there, Kesler agreed but told them that he will catch up with them later because he had something to do first.

Some minutes later, Ernesto and Jarliev went out and were skating for a while until they were intercepted by The Ratman, Ernesto recognized him as the criminal that was using Super Powers to commit them, he tried to attack him but The Ratman easily overpowered him and knocked out both him and Jarliev with some electrical waves and left them behind.

One hour later, Kesler arrived to place only to find Ernesto and Jarliev recovering from the attack and asked them what happened, Ernesto told him that they were attacked by The Ratman, Kesler told them that he knows his identity in which he said it was Jacob, but Ernesto couldn't believe it because he was still in jail, so Kesler told them that he escaped from there with the help of another masked man to destroy them and that he also helped him to regenerate his arm. Ernesto was shocked to hear about that and said "he will not get away with that, from now on this is a war", Kesler simply smiled.

One day later, when Ernesto was leaving the store with Jarliev, Jacob approached to them and simply said "hi", in which Ernesto responded by punching him in the face until he was restrained by Jarliev, Jacob revealed to them that Kesler was the real Ratman, not him, and that he was working with him until he was betrayed by him when he accused him to be the real Ratman, Jacob then told them that he will give them more info about him while inviting them to eat fry chicken, Ernesto agreed with Jacob but he threatened to kill him if it is a trap and that he have to earn their trust.

Ernesto told Jacob that they should ambush him in his hideout, in which Jacob replied that Kesler doesn't trust him anymore but that they should interrogate him and that he would hide in case they need help.

    The next day, as the team were walking they were repeating the plan to make sure that there were no doubts about it, which consisted in Jacob hiding while Ernesto and Jarliev interrogate Kesler about his whereabouts during The Ratman's attacks, and to give him a signal in case that he attacks them. When they arrived to the meeting place, Jacob remembered about some antidotes that Kesler hided in his hideout and proposed to Jarliev to go check them, after he left to check the antidotes, Jacob hided in a corner while Ernesto waited for Kesler to arrive to interrogate him.

After a while, Kesler finally arrived to the place and Ernesto asked him about where he was the day they were attacked by The Ratman and that Kesler told them that he would catch up with them later, he replied that he had "some work", so Ernesto asked him what kind of work he was doing that day, Kesler told him that it is a secret and can't tell him, so Ernesto out of patience, told Kesler that every time he disappears, The Ratman appears doing crimes and that physically resembles him, feeling that he was discovered, punched Ernesto knocking him down, but he managed to get up and fought Kesler, even though he landed some punches to Kesler, he was knocked down again by him and screamed to Jacob to help him, he arrived just in time to help Ernesto fight Kesler, he was surprised that they teamed up to defeat him but proceed to fight them, although having some difficulties, they manage knock out Kesler and ran away from the place.

Some minutes later they found Jarliev lying on the floor semiconscious and told them that he was intercepted and attacked by Kesler while going to his hideout for the antidotes, Ernesto told him that it doesn't matter anymore because they left him weakened but warned them to take care because he can get revenge any time, Jacob told them that he needed to leave to buy some stuff, but before that, Ernesto thanked him for saving him from Kesler and that he earned their trust.

Kesler woke up and kidnapped Jacob as a revenge, he then called Ernesto with his phone demanding a $50,000 check for his freedom. Ernesto had no option but to ask for a loan to his cousin Ligia, after explaining to her the current situation, she was shocked to hear about that but Ernesto told her to give him another $50,000 check just in case, she approved the loan when Ernesto promised that he will help her with the company.

Some hours later, Ernesto and Jarliev went to the meeting place and gave Kesler the check, however he paralyzed them placed them alongside Jacob. When they woke up, Ernesto apologized with Jacob for failing with the plan to free him, then they noticed that their legs were still paralyzed to attempt to escape. Kesler then approached and grabbed Jarliev from his throat and began to choke him and using his lightning powers at him at the same time, mortally wounding him, he would later died from his injuries. This greatly angers Ernesto who managed to use his legs again and backed down Kesler with a punch, Jacob later helped him until they knocked him down.

 Kesler then managed to subdue them with his lightning power but they managed to fight it and continued fighting him, however even with their combined efforts, Kesler proved to be too much for them and almost killed them until Kesler killed a passing civilian by snapping his neck for witness the whole fight, this enrages Jacob, who manages to punch Kesler repeatedly times in face until he pushed him off, so Ernesto did the same and punched him repeatedly times until he was eventually pushed, and when Kesler was about to kill Ernesto, Jacob saved him by punching Kesler so hard that knocked him out, which gave him enough time to stab him in the stomach before letting him recover, he continued stabbing him numerous times out of rage, Ernesto and Jacob later abandoned the place claiming that the police would come later to check the place.

Later on, Ernesto is seen alongside with Jacob digging a grave for Jarliev, Ernesto seemingly depressed for his death said "It's a shame, he was a good cousin", Jacob empathized with him by saying that he will always live in their hearts and will always remember him as a hero for trying to stop Kesler, Ernesto later offered him to stay in his house now that Jarliev's room was empty, however Jacob told him that will go out for a few months in a journey but that when he comes back he will stay in the house, so they said their goodbyes and left.

#### **Ernesto vs Jacob: Eddie Attacks**

Over a course of seven months, Ernesto suffered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as he usually had nightmares of Jarliev's death, Kesler's betrayal and attempt of murder them and his near death experience by the hands of Kesler. Ernesto regularly visited Jarliev's place of death to remember how he failed to save him.

One day while visiting the place where Jarliev died, he was approached by Jacob who had returned from his journey and asked him "bad memories heh?, Ernesto greeted him and the two decided that they should go find something to eat at the store.

While skating to the store, Ernesto made fun of some dogs barking to Jacob, to which he replied that "dogs loves me", after some more distance they where discussing about Jacob's whereabouts during this months, Jacob told him that hes been researching more information abut magic stones. Shortly later, Jacob found a plastic cup lying on the ground and tried to drink it claiming that he haven't eaten in three days, but Ernesto trowed it away telling him that he shouldn't drink anything he find in the street and that they should arrive soon to the store.

Almost arriving to the store, Ernesto asked him if he had though about the previous events involving Kesler, Jacob answered that it disturbed and affected him, Ernesto latter told him that he haven't been sleeping properly because of the nightmares and that he feels that something bad will happen soon.

After a while eating at the store, Ernesto noticed that there was a guy that they never have seen at the neighborhood, so the guy presented himself as Eddie and left without saying something else leaving them confused but Jacob took advantage to take the Soda he left behind, in which Ernesto humorously told him that he was stranger than Eddie.

When they were leaving the store, Ernesto complained that he hurt his leg with his skate, so Jacob was having fun about that but they didn't notice that they were being followed by Eddie until they arrived at Ernesto's house when he re-introduced himself and told them that he just wanted to "visit his new best friends", Jacob replied that they just met, but Ernesto agreed to let him in the house and to order a pizza to eat it together and presented him his cousin Ligia and his uncles that were in his house at that time.

One day later, Ernesto was walking with Jacob until he fell and suddenly Eddie appeared and helped him get up, so Ernesto asked him what was he doing there, Eddie replied that he was just passing by and then left. Ernesto became paranoid of Eddie following them everywhere, so he agreed with Jacob that they should follow him to see where he goes and what he does, Jacob stated that Eddie might be a spy like Jarliev was with Kesler before.

While following him, they made a noise but immediately hide before Eddie could see them, while hiding from him, they were discussing about his true intentions, Ernesto wondered if Eddie has any relationship with Kesler, in which Jacob replied that he don't think so.

Later on, they witnessed when Eddie injected himself a serum that he pulled out of a backpack, Eddie saw them and screamed at them "What are you doing here?!!" and proceed to chase them.

Ernesto and Jacob ran away in fear from Eddie and hide behind a wall, there they saw how Eddie accidentally dropped a sample of the serum he injected out of frustration, after Eddie left the place, Ernesto and Jacob came out of hiding to analyze the serum that Eddie dropped, in the syringe there were some letters that said "A L 2", Ernesto wondered if it could give them Super Powers, so he injected half of the serum and then generated some lightnings at the sky, So Jacob injected the other half of the serum and also gained powers, Ernesto regained the confidence that he lost months ago and was determinate to defeat Eddie with the help of Jacob.

Eddie then found them and a big fight occurred between them, however even while having Super Powers like him, they were no match for Eddie because of their lack of experience with their powers, so their only hope to defeat him was to poison him with a nearby poisonous fungus, Jacob told Ernesto to entertain Eddie while he prepares the poison with the syringe, Ernesto struggled to fight Eddie, but manage to struck him with lightnings, however he recovered quickly and continued attacking Ernesto and Jacob, Eddie then took the syringe with the poison and attempted to break it, until Ernesto took his hand trying to take the syringe back and Jacob punched him causing him to drop the syringe and then retained Eddie while Ernesto injected him the venom, severely weakening him.

After defeating him, Ernesto and Jacob admitted that it was a hard fight but also wondered why Eddie hated them so much, to the point that even attempted to murder them with powers, Eddie then woke up and said in a weakened voice "I'm sorry for failing you Master Kesler...... it's your turn now Benson", and then died because of the poison.

Ernesto and Jacob were shocked to heard that Eddie worked for Kesler and was likely avenging his death, and they wondered who was that Benson he mentioned, Ernesto suggested that they should investigate about who is he and his possible connection with Kesler, however Jacob told Ernesto that he is leaving again to investigate about Kesler's secret organization alone but that he won't last long like before, Ernesto said goodbye to him and said that he will also investigate about it.

One day later, Ernesto was returning from his job as a government agent and also showed them his new powers, however someone knocked at his door and left a letter telling him to get rid of his powers because of the previous events regarding Kesler and Eddie, Ernesto found an antidote attached to the letter and injected himself without hesitation, he also noticed that there was another antidote for Jacob to get rid of his powers too, so a determinate Ernesto said to himself that as soon as he see Jacob again, he will inject him with the antidote.

#### **The Kidnapping of Jacob**

Even though he didn't physically appear, he was mentioned by Jacob while being tortured by Scorpius' Guard to extract him information about who else got powers from Eddie, he told Jacob that they will "pay him a visit too", in which Jacob warned them to not harm Ernesto, however he was immediately knocked out by the guard telling him that his interrogation was over.

Before defeating Scorpius, his last words to Jacob was that "even though he defeated him, others will come to avenge his death and would eventually kill both Jacob and Ernesto", then Jacob shot and disintegrated him; shortly later Jacob passed out from exhaustion.

One day later, Jacob woke up in a hospital and was determinate to re-encounter Ernesto.

#### **Ernesto vs Jacob: Ultimate Battle**

Sixth months after defeating Eddie and getting rid of his powers, in the absence of Jacob, Ernesto now lives alone in his house with no other thing to do other than working even harder than he used to do in the government, to the point of getting a promotion to Head of Government.

One day while training, he was interrupted by someone ringing his bell and was surprised to see that Jacob returned, so he gladly opened the door for him and they greeted at each other, Ernesto asked him about what took him so long to get back, in which Jacob replied that he "had a appointment with another guy for a long time".

Ernesto then told him that after defeating Eddie, he got promoted to Head of Government and that because of that, he needs to make sure that Jacob sign a contract in which he would have to agree to get rid of his powers, Jacob told him that that is a crazy idea and asked him if he got rid of his powers, Ernesto admitted that he injected himself with a antidote and that Jacob must do the same because of the previous events regarding Kesler and Eddie. Jacob was disappointed with his decision of getting rid of his powers and told him that he won't get rid of his, Ernesto then had no other choice but to call for some bodyguards that were in his house to protect him from anything and ordered them to take Jacob to a police car to drive him to The Courthouse, Jacob tried to fight them but was knocked out from behind.

A few hours later Ernesto took the unconscious Jacob to a courtroom, when he woke up he discovered that he was handcuffed to prevent him from using his powers to escape, he sarcastically asked Ernesto about "why does he needs bodyguards now", Ernesto didn't responded him and were immediately interrupted by Ernesto's boss, greeting Jacob for "his visit at the courthouse", then they explained to Jacob that having super powers might be dangerous because they may cause an accident that can injure or kill innocent people, and at the wrong hands it may be a deadly situation, giving him Kesler and Eddie as an example; however, Jacob didn't agreed with them, as he claimed that having Super Powers might save your life if someone is trying to hurt you, to use it as self defense, so he cannot sign to get rid of his powers because of that.

Ernesto then threatened Jacob that if he don't take the antidote, he will do it against his will, Jacob then proceed to break the handcuff and attacked both Ernesto and his boss with lightnings before jumping from the window escaping, Ernesto then woke up and his boss told him that now Jacob is a fugitive from the law and that they must capture him before he dares to use his powers against more government agents, so he appoints Ernesto to capture him, or otherwise he will be convicted too because of his former connection with Jacob.

Ernesto arrived at his home and proceed to call Jacob to attempt to calm him down, when he answered he told him not to worry because he was not tracking the call, so he politely asked him to just give up and finish this once and for all, but Jacob told him that he won't do it and threatened Ernesto to have a open eye, because he will form a team to fight against the corrupt government, Ernesto then told him that he won't let what happened to Jarliev happen to someone else, so Jacob told him that they could avoid it if he still had his powers, and then hanged out the phone.

Ernesto realized that if Jacob is forming a team to fight the government, then he will form his own team to to beat Jacob's, so he called his best fighter to help him form the team. When Alex arrived at Ernesto's house, he helped him decide about who to include in their team, however they felt that their team was no big enough, so Ernesto said that he wishes that Jarliev was still there to help him in this situation. Alex suggested him that they could revive him with a Resurrection Stone, however, Ernesto told him that they can only be used once and that they already used one to revived him before, so Alex confirmed that there are multiple Resurrection Stones around the world and that there must be another one in the country; Ernesto was shocked from hearing that and immediately began researching about the possible location of the other Resurrection Stone.

Ernesto found a Government Top Secret Information that says that in the middle ages, people used to make rituals using "magical stones" to bring dead people back to life and that those rituals where taken over in a place called "Blackgrass Sanctuary". Ernesto remembered that place as the place where Jacob obtained the elixir of life years ago, so he made a trip to the old sanctuary to try to find a new Resurrection Stone; when he was leaving the house to go to the sanctuary, Jacob was watching him from afar and began following him.

A few hours later, Ernesto alongside with Alex arrived to the Sanctuary and began searching for the Resurrection Stones in the ruins of the place, after a while, Ernesto found a shine coming from the debris, when he pushed them away, he was amazed to see that he found the Resurrection Stone, however before he could leave, Jacob ambushed Ernesto and Alex telling them to stop.

Ernesto asked Jacob what he was doing there, so he replied that he won't let them revive Jarliev only to make him fight in their team, so Ernesto then told him he won't let Jacob prevent him from seeing his cousin again, so they proceed to fight in which Jacob was winning because of his powers and managed to knocked out Alex with a punch, after seeing that, Ernesto tackled Jacob and sedated him with a syringe; Ernesto then helped Alex get up and leaved the place with the Resurrection Stone.

After arriving back home, Ernesto prepared the ritual in a similar way Kesler did to resurrect him before, so after resurrecting Jarliev successfully, he thanked Ernesto and told him that it feels great to be alive again. Ernesto didn't told him anything about the Jacob situation yet because Jarliev needed to reintegrate himself to the world and to learn basic things how to walk and fight again (because he spent a long time dead).

One day later, Ernesto was in his house training until he received a call from his boss reminding him to capture Jacob ans asked him if he have seen him, Ernesto lied to him by saying that he haven't watch him since he attacked them at the Courthouse the other day, so the boss have him a deadline to capture him of one week or otherwise they will condemn him too.

Ernesto became frustrated about that situation and then he heard a big noise coming from his principal door, when he went to see what was the noise, he got surprised to see that Jacob entered his house, he tried to attack Jacob but he electrocuted him and knocked him out, Jacob then dragged Ernesto to the bathroom and waited for Jarliev to come back home.

After a few hours, Ernesto was semiconscious when he heard Jacob trying to get Jarliev into his team by telling him that Ernesto was a traitor for supporting the government over him by getting rid of his powers and by forcing him to do the same, however Jarliev told him that he will stay loyal to Ernesto and that the real traitor is Jacob for being now considered a criminal by the government. So, the two had a brief fight in which Jacob nearly killed Jarliev until Ernesto managed to regain full conscious and attacked Jacob from behind and managed to knocked him down, later he went so see if Jarliev was ok and Jacob took advantage of his distraction to escape, but before escaping, he told Ernesto that he didn't wanted that, but that the government are real bad guys there and that they still can fight them together.

Ernesto then told Jarliev what was really going on between them and his plan to form a team to stop Jacob's team to attack the government, so Jarliev told him to include him in his team to try to stop Jacob. A few days later Jarliev recovered from his wounds sustained in his fight with Jacob and Ernesto decided to make a plan to ambush Jacob and his team, his plan consisted in capturing a member of Jacob's team and to make him inform Jacob to meet in a place and then they would ambush them there. Ernesto also got a special suit that would increase his abilities in order to have a better chance to fight Jacob without superpowers.

Their plan worked and the captured member sent Jacob a text message telling him to reunite the entire team around Jean Paul Genie Street. Later, Jacob alongside with his team went to the meeting place but they were surprised that there was nobody there, so a paranoid Jacob told them that it must be a trap, suddenly a sniper shot a member Jacob's team in the head, and Ernesto came with hundred of armed government agents saying "of course it's a trap, how else we were gonna get you all in one place". Jacob observed Ernesto's team and coldly told him that he "lost his mind completely", Ernesto told Jacob to just give up and that nobody else needs to die for no reason, so Jacob told him that he found out that Kesler had a secret crime organization named K.E.S.E. and that it is still active, so that he needs his help to fight them before they attack, however Ernesto didn't believe him and counted them to five to give up or otherwise, they will attacked them.

Jacob tried to reason with Ernesto by saying that if they don't attack K.E.S.E. they would attack them, but Ernesto didn't listened to him and attacked them, then they had a fight of huge proportions with grenades, gunshots, swords and explosions and destruction around the place.

Ernesto and Jacob fighted each other while the two teams were fighting evenly, Jacob tried to attack Ernesto with lightnings but he was unaffected by them because his suit absorbed them and redirected them back to Jacob knocking him down; the fight continued until most of their team members were dead, so Jacob told Ernesto to stop the fight and to help him to stop K.E.S.E. but he told Jacob that it is too late for words.

Jacob then furiously got up and proceed to fight Ernesto in a hand to hand fight, the two had a vicious fight until they attempt to punch each other but they ended up punching their fist so hard that they created a small explosion that knocked down everyone near of them.

Ernesto's suit was severely damaged and Jacob was weakened, so when they got up already exhausted, Jacob punched Ernesto until Jarliev barely managed to grab Jacob's leg but he was kicked in the face by him; Ernesto then took advantage of the distraction and began to punch Jacob outmatching him and putting him on his knees in front of him.

While he was on his knees in front of Ernesto, he begged him to help him to fight the K.E.S.E. but Ernesto told him that it is over for him, and then proceed to punch him until knocking him down, while he was still on the ground, Ernesto ordered him to stay down, but Jacob managed to get up and told him that he won't give up, so Ernesto tried to attack him again but he was restrained by a member of Jacob's team, so Jacob lifted Ernesto and pinned him to the floor and began punching him with every bit of remaining strength he had, and then he grabbed a sword he found on the floor and attempted to kill Ernesto, but instead he stuck it in the ground forgiving his life. Ernesto claimed Jacob did not deserve the super powers. acknowledging that he had proved himself unworthy and out of sympathy for his former friend, he injected himself the antidote and left the scene.

Some minutes later, a defeated Ernesto tried to get up but failed, then he watched a helicopter landing and his boss getting out of it, he completely ignored the destruction and the dead bodies and proceed to walk directly where Ernesto was; so when he got to him, he asked what happened to Jacob, he answered that he injected himself the antidote but he that he left the place. The boss became enraged and told him that the plan was not only about injecting him the antidote, it was about capturing him too, but Ernesto told him to stay away from him because he could have killed him, but he let him live.

The boss in an act of pure anger, killed the few survivors of the battle with his gun including Alex, and when there were no survivors, he revealed to the shocked Ernesto that he had always worked for Kesler and was working undercover inside the Government, and that he was a lieutenant for K.E.S.E., Ernesto was even shaking from hearing his confession, and he informed Ernesto that K.E.S.E. is named after Kesler, Eddie, Scorpius and himself, Ezequiel. He also revealed that because the others tried to killed them directly after Kesler's death, he elaborated a plan to provoke a fight between them and that they would likely kill each other, or else he would kill the survivor himself; so he pointed a gun to Ernesto in a attempt to kill him, but was shot in the head by a wounded Jarliev from behind. Jarliev helped Ernesto get up and they left the place.

After a few weeks, Ernesto held a press conference where he finally revealed what really happened, he revealed that his boss Ezequiel, was a undercover lieutenant for K.E.S.E., a secret crime organization that was created by Kesler, and that the entire fight with Jacob was planned by him so that they could kill each other but that now he declares Jacob free from any charge he had, and he also announce his resignation from work, as he felt that he no longer belongs with the government and that if he will fight the remaining K.E.S.E. members, he would do it without the government help because he feels it's a personal fight.

After arriving home he was surprised to see that Jacob was waiting for him, Ernesto apologized for not believing him about K.E.S.E. and said that he was always right, the two then hugged and and they forgive each other, Jarliev then joined them and the three agreed that they will continue fighting against anything that intent to harm either them or innocent people and that they will fight against The K.E.S.E. members together.

#### **Ernesto vs Jacob: The Awakening**

Over a course of two weeks, Ernesto alongside Jacob and Jarliev were investigating nonstop about the locations of the K.E.S.E. outposts, by capturing some members and extracting information from them, in order to ambush the outposts.

After two weeks investigating, they decided to take a break and they went skating until Jarliev fell from his skate, Ernesto laughed at Jarliev but Jacob remained in silence and suggested that instead of being there skating, they should be investigating about the K.E.S.E. and its members, Ernesto told Jacob that they should take a break from it because they’ve been investigating nonstop about them for so long and they needed to rest at least for a moment, Jacob agreed with him and proceed to skate with them.

Later on, the trio arrived at Ernesto’s house and they continued researching about the K.E.S.E., Jacob asked Ernesto about how much information do they have so far, so Ernesto told him that after interrogating some members of the organization that they captured one week ago, they revealed that they have strategic points in the countryside and that they are guarded by at least 20 members by each strategic point; Jarliev suggested that they should get ready and ambush those points, Jacob agreed with him and told Ernesto to print a map of their locations.

During nighttime, Ernesto was traveling with Jacob and Jarliev to the countryside to ambush the strategic points of the organization, when they arrived; they prepared themselves with sub-machines guns with silencers and body armor, Ernesto ordered Jacob to take out the guards of the entry with headshots. Jacob killed the members of the entry and they proceed to enter the place, once they entered they figured that the place was bigger than they though, so Ernesto suggested that they should split and after they are done of taking out the members, they should meet up at the entry, so they agreed and they split up.

While Jacob and Jarliev were exploring different rooms, Ernesto found a large living room; there he found some pictures of Kesler, Eddie, Scorpius and Ezequiel laying on the floor. As he tries to break into a locked room, he is attacked by a member of the K.E.S.E. The two grapple on the floor, the man pins Ernesto to the ground and repeatedly punches him in the face, but is forced off. They exchange blows and the man knocks Ernesto’s gun away when he draws it. Ernesto finally gains the upper hand, kicking the man repeatedly before grabbing him in a headlock and demanding the location of the other members of the group. The man denies the presence of any other member, and as he is chocked out, an exhausted Ernesto throws him against a spike on the wall, impaling him.

Meanwhile Jacob saved Jarliev from being killed by some K.E.S.E. members, then Ernesto approached to them and informed them that more members are coming directly to them, so the trio reloaded their guns and prepared to fight against the remaining members of the outpost; when the members of the K.E.S.E. came to the place to check it, they were all gunned down by the trio, however Jacob got shot in the arm in the process, so after finishing they left the outpost and went to a nearby hospital to treat him.

While in the hospital, after stitching up Jacob’s wound, Ernesto crossed out the outpost on the map with a marker claiming that they are one step closer to wiping up the K.E.S.E. once and for all, however an ashamed Jarliev revealed that he worked for the K.E.S.E. years ago and that the mission about infiltrating in Ernesto's house in order to resurrect him, was a mission for the K.E.S.E. because they wanted Ernesto to join their organization, but because of his former relationship with the government they decided to kill him instead, and that because of that he decided to leave the organization and that’s why Kesler decided to kill him when he captured the trio years ago.

Jacob was wordless and Ernesto became upset about him for revealing it until now after everything they have gone through, Jarliev apologized but Ernesto angrily left the place, Jacob told Jarliev that even though he hates the K.E.S.E. for everything that they have done to them, he doesn’t hate him, but is disappointed for not saying it sooner, so Jarliev left the room and started to cry kneeling in a corner.

At the next day, Jacob arrived at Ernesto’s house and told him that he should speak with Jarliev because even though he kept as a secret his relation with the K.E.S.E., he still had the guts to confess it even if it was until now, however Ernesto told Jacob that he can’t talk to Jarliev for now, because any time he thinks about him, he remembers that there’s a crime organization that was led by Kesler who tried to killed them, and that Jarliev worked for them for a while, so Jacob told Ernesto that he understands but that he should consider forgive him.

Jacob then informed Ernesto that he heard some K.E.S.E. members in the strategic point talking about awakening a guy who will destroy them. Ernesto was shocked to hear that and suggested that they should go ahead to attack the next outpost and to capture a member to extract him information about who are they trying to awake. Jacob agreed with Ernesto but asked him if Jarliev was going with them to help them, so Ernesto told him that he doesn’t trust him anymore to have him in a mission like that, Jacob remained in silence but respected his decision about leaving Jarliev behind.

When they arrived to the outpost, they were relieved to see that it was a smaller outpost compared to the previous one, so their plan was to explode the entry with a car bomb and then to make their way inside the place.

Their plan worked and they exploded the entry with the car and began shooting at the members that were trying to attack them, they managed to get inside the outpost and they were surprised to see that the environment and decoration was a lot different than in the other outpost, as there were so many candles and human skulls as if there was a ritual there, then they got cornered by some members with black hoods who were armed with scythes and they were softly repeating to them to die. Ernesto then spotted a gas tank, so he shot it and caused an explosion that killed most of those members, Jacob took one of them as hostage while Ernesto took down the rest of them.

They tied up the member in a tree and when he woke up, he threatened Ernesto and Jacob to set him free or else he would call for reinforcement, however they ignored his threats and they asked why they are different from the members of the other outpost and they also asked him if they are even from the same organization, so the member after feeling powerless, confessed that the members of both outposts are the same, they are all members of the K.E.S.E. but that they work in a different fraction, he explained that the others members are fighters while the “cultist” are more of the magical stuff of the organization, like preparing rituals.

Ernesto and Jacob then asked him about who are they trying to awake, however the cultist began to laugh and told them that it will surprise them, so Jacob punched him in the face and asked him again about who are they trying to awake, so the cultist revealed that they can’t awake him if they don’t have someone biologically related to him, so Ernesto asked him who is the person related biologically to him, so the member of the cultist told him: “*why don’t you go home and find out*”. Ernesto and Jacob became shocked, Jacob killed the cultist and they hurried to get back to the house.

When they arrived at the house, Ernesto ran to Jarliev’s bedroom but he wasn’t there, so a worried Ernesto told Jacob that The K.E.S.E. captured Jarliev and that they need to rescue him, but Jacob told him that they might be anywhere and that it may be hard to find him, so Ernesto told Jacob that it doesn’t matter how hard it will be, but that they need to rescue him, because he spent a long time without him and he can’t afford losing him again, especially since he decided to not speak to him anymore.

Some hours later after getting ready, Ernesto was ready to take off with Jacob in order to find Jarliev, so Jacob suggested that he will look for him in the outposts that they previously attacked, Ernesto agreed with him and then Jacob left, but before Ernesto could leave the house too, Jarliev approached him and told him: "*hey Ernesto, i heard you were looking for me*", so a shocked Ernesto greeted him and told him that he was worried about him and that he was sorry for not talking to him before, so Jarliev told Ernesto that it doesn't matter anymore because he is now against the K.E.S.E. and they have to stick together to fight them; Ernesto told Jarliev that he will call Jacob to tell him that he already found Jarliev, so that he can come back home, however Jarliev revealed to Ernesto that he was out because he found a secret facility of the K.E.S.E. and that they should check it.

Ernesto asked Jarliev how did he knew about that secret facility, so Jarliev revealed that he got attacked by a member of the K.E.S.E. but that he was able to fight him and extracted that information from him, so Ernesto agreed that he will go check that facility in order to finish off the organization once and for all.

Once in the Facility, Ernesto arrived thanks to the direction Jarliev gave him, and the doors automatically opened before him, so he prepared his gun and cautiously walked through the entry, while he was walking he found human skulls, red candles and pictures of Kesler, Eddie, Scorpius and Ezequiel, then he accidentally stepped on a rope that triggered a mechanism that ended up trapping him in a cage, suddenly a group of cultist armed with scythes cornered him, so Ernesto tried to use his gun but it began floating and it disintegrated, then a man using a red hooded cape approached him and when he took off his hood, Ernesto realized that it was no more or less than Kesler himself.

Ernesto feeling powerless began shaking, so Kesler told him that it's been a while but that he is actually glad to see him again because they are family after all and that they gotta stick together and work as a team, however he acknowledged that it would be impossible to work with him and Jacob after everything they have done to them, so he revealed Ernesto that he will turn him into a Rarzar just like he did to Jarliev.

Then Jarliev took off his black cape and revealed his red eyes saying: *"hell yeah master Kesler"*, so Ernesto threatened Kesler by saying that he will kill him but that this time it will be forever, but Kesler ignored his threats and used his telekinesis powers to open Ernesto's cage and told him that he will give him a second chance, he told Ernesto that if he beats him in a hand to hand combat, he will be free, but if he lose, he will turn him into a Rarzar just like Jarliev.

Ernesto confidently agreed and began punching Kesler in the face, however Kesler was unaffected by Ernesto's punches and blocked another blow and punched Ernesto hard enough to launch him a few meters, Ernesto managed to get up and attempted to kick Kesler but he grabbed Ernesto's leg and threw him away, so a weakened Ernesto got up and tried to attack Kesler again but he touched Ernesto's heart and performed a ritual by casting a spell, then Ernesto's eyes became red too, so Kesler welcomed him to the K.E.S.E. and revealed that he always wanted him into the organization because together they would accomplish extraordinary things, but told him that they are still not complete because they still need Jacob and then they would be unstoppable, so he ordered Ernesto to capture and bring Jacob to them. Ernesto with a smile on his face told him: *"Thank you master Kesler, it would be a pleasure"*.

While leaving the facility, Ernesto called Jacob by phone and when he answered it, Ernesto told him that he found Jarliev and that he is OK and just had an appointment, so he later told Jacob to come back to the house.

When Jacob arrived at Ernesto's house, he encountered Ernesto and informed him that before he called him by phone, he got attacked by some K.E.S.E. members on the road but that he managed to kill them, Ernesto angrily told him: *"You killed them??!!, i mean, you could just had bring them here and i would have extracted them more information we might need about them"*, so a surprised Jacob told Ernesto to calm down and that he killed them because they attacked him first and that one of them died in the car clash and that he had to put down the other one because he was badly hurt.

Ernesto breathed in order to calm down and simply told Jacob that he needs to show him something important, so Jacob asked him what is it, but Ernesto only told him that he will find out, Jacob agreed and when he left the house, Ernesto's eyes became red for a brief moment.

After a few hours, Ernesto took Jacob to the secret facility and told Jacob that the rest of the K.E.S.E. members are hiding in there and that they should ambush them, but Jacob told him that he is not ready because he doesn't have enough bullets, but Ernesto told him that he has enough weapons in the trunk of the car.

The two proceed to enter the facility and walked through the corridor until they came across to a big door, however Ernesto opened it and pushed Jacob to the other side, suddenly some members of the cultist cornered Jacob and then his weapons began to levitate and they were thrown apart. Ernesto alongside some cultists witnessed when Kesler approached Jacob and they exchanged a few words about how he won't die like last time because he is powerful enough to die from a simple stab.

Kesler informed Jacob that now that he has him with them, it's only a matter of time before he turns him into a Rarzar just like he did to Ernesto and Jarliev, Jacob said to himself that that explains why Ernesto was acting weird. Jacob told Kesler that even though he doesn't know exactly what a Rarzar is, he will never turn into that, and threatened Kesler that he will find a way to cure Ernesto and Jarliev, but Kesler informed him that if he wants to cure them, he would have to do it in 24 hours, or otherwise they will be Rarzars forever.

Ernesto then witnessed Jacob trying to escape but Kesler began to control him via telekinesis and then threw him into a wall, and then Kesler took the spell book and began to walk towards Jacob who was still on the floor, but then Jacob noticed that one of his pistols was lying in front of him, so he quickly took it and shot Kesler in the arm causing him to drop the spell book; Jacob took the book but the exit was blocked by the group of cultist, so Jacob had no other choice but to shoot some of them in order to make them back off, so Jacob barely managed to escape unharmed but successfully got to the exit and escaped the facility with the Spell Book.

After a while, Ernesto told Kesler that he will kill Jacob if he causes more trouble, but Kesler , revealed to Ernesto that the team won't be complete without him, because he knows that Ernesto and Jacob can work together and they can accomplish unimaginable things like defeating his most skilled agents and even killing his lieutenants, so that's why they need the entire team into the K.E.S.E. so he assigns Ernesto and Jarliev to re-capture Jacob and the spell book because without the spell book, they would be finished.

Some hours later, Ernesto and Jarliev began tracking Jacob with an app that Ernesto stole from the government before he renounced, they found out that Jacob was heading to the woods, so they began to drive to the place in order to capture Jacob and the spell book once again.

Later on, Ernesto and Jarliev arrived to the woods and the decided to go in separate ways in order to look for him faster.

Jacob was later attacked by Jarliev, however he managed to overpower him and then he could cure him with a counterspell and a procedure he learnt from the spell book, Jacob and Jarliev then decided to look for Ernesto to cure him too.

Ernesto decided to enter Scorpius' former headquarter in order to ambush Jacob there because he knew he would come there. His belief was true because Jacob and Jarliev entered the abandoned cabin and there they found Ernesto meditating and he revealed his red eyes and mocking Jacob by saying that he knew he would come there and that it is ironic that he came back there after his suffering he experienced for months there, however Jacob prepared the syringe he would use to cure Ernesto, but he told Jacob that he is not surprised that he managed to cure Jarliev because he always knew he was weak even as a Rarzar, but that it will be a different story with him.

Jacob threatened Ernesto that if he doesn't take the antidote, he will do it against his will, so Ernesto angrily attacked Jacob but he managed to dodge Ernesto's punch and told Jarliev to wait outside while he deals with this, however Ernesto managed to punch Jacob and knocked him down, Jacob got up and tried to attack Ernesto but he dodges subsequent blows as tells him he will torture Jacob before he kills him. They exchange punches but Jacob is tackled to the ground. He gains the upper hand by grabbing a piece of wood and striking Ernesto in the face, knocking him on his back. He grabs the syringe and injected the juice in Ernesto's heart, which enrages him to the point he is able to knock Jacob back, but Jacob then said the counterspell and Ernesto's red eyes became normal and began coughing.

Feeling confused, Ernesto asked Jacob what happened and that where are they, so a exhausted Jacob told Ernesto that he was under a curse but that he is free now like Jarliev, so Ernesto apologized Jacob for any damage he might had done while he was a Rarzar, but Jacob told him that it doesn't matter because that wasn't him but that it is over now.

The trio left the place and they headed back to Ernesto's house, there they examined the spell book and Ernesto proposed that they should destroy it, but Jacob said that they have to save it while they find out how to defeat Kesler and the organization once and for all, Ernesto then proposed that now that they already know the location of their secret facility, they can blown the place with explosives devices in order to kill Kesler and the remaining K.E.S.E. members, Jacob agreed with the plan but wondered where they will get the explosives, so Jarliev said that even though that they are no longer in contact with the government, they should asked them for help and to contribute with the explosives, Ernesto told him that he doesn't like that idea but that any kind help would be useful, and he also acknowledged that the government might want to help them because the K.E.S.E. was responsible for the Battle of Jean Paul Genia Street  and the death of several government agents.

At the next day, Ernesto went to the courthouse and explained them the current situation, he revealed that Kesler was brought back to life by the K.E.S.E. and that they need to be wiped out because of the threat they represent, so the government agreed to help and they even proposed Ernesto to work for the government again, but he rejected them claiming that he just want Kesler's organization to die and then he would like to retire.

Some hours later, Ernesto alongside Jacob, Jarliev and several government agents arrived to the secret facility and planted several explosives around the place. Ernesto entered the place to plant explosives from inside too, but he was discovered by some cultist, however he managed to killed them with his pistol and quickly planted the rest of the explosives, then he got out of the facility and ordered the government agents to activate the timer, so they all took cover and and a huge explosion occurred and it destroyed the facility and the remaining of the cultist that were inside. The team gladly congratulated at each other and they decided to celebrate victory at Ernesto's house with wine.

When they arrived at the house, Jacob opened the wine and proceed to serve it to the government agents and to Ernesto and Jarliev, suddenly they heard gunshots coming from outside the house alerting them, so they went out and they were surprised to see that Kesler alongside with tons of his armed agents were surrounding the house, they were so armed that they even had a tank, so Kesler began to levitate and angrily told them that they have something that belongs to him and if they don't bring it back, more people would die, but then the government agents began aiming their guns at Kesler's team, so Ernesto told them to not shoot.

Ernesto attempted to negotiate with Kesler, he told him that although he will never join the K.E.S.E. and become a Rarzar again, he can return him back the spell book if the promise that he will not harm anyone again of make them join his organization by turning them into Rarzars, but Kesler sarcastically told him that what was the point of that, so Ernesto secretly informed Jacob and Jarliev to get ready for war, so he told Kesler that: *"If you want a war, then you'll have a war".*

Ernesto proceed to shot at Kesler's team and a big war with gunfire and explosions occurred between them. Ernesto continued fighting alongside Jacob and Jarliev until most of the teams were dead, so Kesler angrily screamed "*kill them all!!*", so he ordered the military tank to attack them, Ernesto took cover while a member of Kesler's team drives it straight through the fence and ultimately collapses it.

With the tank blasting holes on the house's walls, Ernesto witnessed some government agents beginning to evacuate the house to save their lives, so Jarliev informed Jacob that there is a special RPG that the government had recently manufactured in the dinning room that they can use to protect themselves, so Jacob ran to the dinning room while Ernesto and Jarliev covered him by shooting at some members of the K.E.S.E., but the tank caused an explosion near of Jacob that left him unconscious for a brief moment, but he managed to get to the special RPG and he shot and destroyed the tank.

After Kesler witnessed his tank getting destroyed, he exclaimed that it is enough, so he caused a huge explosion that destroyed Ernesto's entire house and killing most of the government agents whom were still alive.

Ernesto, Jacob and Jarliev barely managed to get up and they kneel, so Kesler approached them informs the group that he wants revenge for the dead K.E.S.E. members as well as his lieutenants that they killed.

Kesler then tells them that he is going to kill them all. Kesler introduces his magic hand mirror which can absorb their souls and sent them to the Lake of Fire in the Underworld, but before he do that, he tells them that he needs more Rarzars because he was running out of men.

Kesler used some magic gloves and created a black cloud that it expanded around the city and everybody that inhaled it, became new Rarzars, so Kesler sensed that around 90% of the city were turned into Rarzars so he grew up even stronger, so the trio attempted to escape from the place but they were cornered by some civilians turned into Rarzars and they threatened the trio to not leave and to stay only to get killed by Kesler, suddenly Ernesto spotted his cousin Ligia with the crowd and then she approached the trio and told them while revealing her red eyes that they are surrounded and that it is over for them because they gotta pay with their lives and that Kesler will lead them to a better future, a future without Ernesto, Jacob and Jarliev.

The trio the began shaking out of fear and Kesler approached them with the magic mirror and screaming: *"There is nowhere to hide!!!".* Suddenly a car came to the place and ran over Kesler, so they escaped in the car and Kesler quickly recovered and began screaming loudly out of frustration. After seeing that, Ligia screamed at the civilians to follow the car, so the civilians tried chasing the car but they eventually lost it.

The driver of the car introduced herself as Kuvira and she revealed to Ernesto, Jarliev and Jacob that she was also a government agent and that she was fighting in that battle, but that as long as she saw the dark cloud that Kesler created, she ran to her car and hided there until the cloud dissipated, so they drove to a safe place and they wondered what they will do now. Jacob told them that after Kesler got ran over by the car, he dropped the magic mirror and that now they can use it
against him, then the group got excited that now they have better chances of defeating him.

When they arrived to the place, they were surprised that the place was empty, so they proceed to walk cautiously around the place until a group of civilians revealing their red eyes came and attacked them, but Ernesto ordered them not to kill the civilians because they are just under a curse, but they managed to knocked the civilians out by punches, then Kesler alongside with Ligia appeared and greeted them, Jacob told him that it is over now and ordered Kesler to kneel before them, but Kesler laughed at him and told Jacob that even though the mirror is powerful enough to defeat him, he already won because they have nothing else left now, so a confident Ernesto told Kesler: *"You right, we have nothing else to lose, and that's why we are gonna win".*

Kesler attempted to attack them, but Jacob tackled Kesler to the floor and began punching him, however Kesler easily gained the upper and they proceed to fight, then more K.E.S.E. fighter arrived to the place, so Ligia ran for cover and Ernesto alongside with Kuvira and Jarliev took their weapons and proceed to fight against the remaining K.E.S.E. members.

Ernesto was fighting until he was cornered by some K.E.S.E. members but he was saved by Kuvira who managed to shot them in the head, Ernesto thanked her and they continued fighting. Jarliev was shot in the arm but he took a grenade he found lying in the floor and used it to kill a group of incoming K.E.S.E. members.

Ernesto saw a group of K.E.S.E. members trying to attack Kuvira from behind, so he took a sub-machine gun and killed the entire group before they could reach her, so Ernesto said to himself: *"We are even"*.

While Ernesto continued fighting against the K.E.S.E. members, he witnessed how Jarliev took Kesler's own magic mirror and saved Jacob's life from being beaten to death by Kesler when he used the magic mirror to open a fiery portal that caused Kesler's soul to come out of his body and he was engulfed by the fiery portal leading to the Lake of Fire in the Underworld, then the portal closed by itself and Kesler's body became stone and it disintegrated.

Ernesto was wordless and shocked to see that event, however when he recovered from he shock he could kill the remaining K.E.S.E. members whom were surrendering after witnessing the death of their leader too, finally ending Kesler's reign of terror for good.

Jarliev helps Jacob up, and he helped him to take him to Ernesto and Kuvira, a bloodied and bruised Jacob asked Ernesto what happened with the rest of the K.E.S.E. members, so he informed Jacob that they surrendered after witnessing Kesler's death and they killed them, so Jacob hugged them and informed them that it is finally over, the K.E.S.E. is over now and Kesler is gone forever.

A confused Ligia came out of hiding and asked the team what happened, so Ernesto replied that she alongside with the Managua city were under a curse, but that now it is all over, so she congratulated them and offered them to stay at house because of the destruction of Ernesto's house, so an exhausted Ernesto thanked her and accepted her offer.

Two years later it is revealed that Ernesto was able to rebuilt his house and upgraded it, he also got in a romantic relationship with Kuvira. After Kesler's War, Ernesto and his friends celebrate every anniversary of Kesler's defeat. Ernesto also alongside Jacob founded their own militia, of which Jarliev and Kuvira are part of.

During their second anniversary of Kesler's defeat, they celebrated it in the rebuilt Ernesto's house with Jacob, Jarliev, Kuvira, Ligia and some government agents. Ernesto was giving a speech in the dinning room about how they successfully ended Kesler's reign of terror two years ago and the costs that it took, like the loss of good government agents and innocent civilians, he also gave credits to Jarliev for being the one who truly defeated Kesler when he used the magic mirror against him and that because of that, they can now live in peace once again, then he wished them happy anniversary and they cheered at Ernesto's speech and they proceed to eat the dinner.

A few hours after the celebration was over, Jacob was telling Ernesto that it is amazing how life turns out to be, because years ago they were enemies, so Ernesto recalled when he pretended to be "The Exterminator" and wanted to live forever with the Elixir of Life, but that now they are best friends, so they hugged and before leaving, Jacob asked Ernesto what will he do tomorrow, so Ernesto informed Jacob the he has a date with Kuvira tomorrow, so Jacob said that he is glad for the two of them and then left the house.

At the next day, Jarliev congratulated Ernesto because of his great speech the day before, but Ernesto congratulated him because it was him who defeated Kesler and if it wasn't for that, that speech wouldn't have existed, so the two hugged.

Later on, Ernesto met with Kuvira in a restaurant, and after a while, they were talking that even though that Kesler is gone forever, other kinds of threats might come in the future and that they gotta be ready for it, so Ernesto told her that it doesn't matter what comes next, because he has her and a great team to support him, so they smiled at each other and they left the place holding hands.

After Jacob ripped off Ernesto’s mask, they proceed to fight evenly until Jacob was getting the upper hand claiming that he's been practicing during this time, but later Ernesto managed to kick his leg, punch him and then to throw him in the air, Jacob however recovered and managed to land some punches to Ernesto until he eventually managed to get Jacob to the floor and kick him numerous time before landing his final punch to the stomach that put Jacob out of condition to keep fighting, later Ernesto took the Elixir and proceed to drink it, but he started coughing and running out of air, he later exploded in the air for not being worthy to live forever and thus died in the process and leaving behind only his glasses.

## Powers and Abilities

### Former Powers

Thanks to the "A L 2" Serum, Ernesto temporarily displayed various superhuman abilities, such as strength, agility, an enhanced healing factor, and the ability to generate lightnings. However, Ezequiel and The Government were to negate all its effects and had Ernesto's powers removed by an antidote.

* **Superhuman Strength**: Ernesto's strength was enhanced beyond the peak of human potential, they were on equal terms of Eddie's and Jacob's but were likely inferior of Kesler's. His strengths allows him to physically overpower combatants like when fighting Eddie as he could land some punches at him and stunned him even when he also had super powers.
* **Enhanced Durability**: Ernesto's bones and muscles were vastly denser and harder than a human's, which allowed him to take direct punches and kicks from Eddie who had super human strength, without getting seriously hurt or knocked out.
* **Enhanced Speed**: Ernesto likely had this super power because it was included in the "A L 2" Serum, however he never displayed it.
* **Enhanced Agility**: Ernesto was able to upgrade his fighting skills by coordinating his body with perfect balance, equilibrium, flexibility, and dexterity when fighting against Eddie.
* **Lightning generation:** Ernesto had the ability to produce lightnings by doing a circular motion with the arms, he first used this ability when he tested his newly powers by launching some lightnings at the sky and used them again when he fought against Eddie.

### Abilities

* **Peak Physical Condition**: Due to years of intense martial arts training since working for the government at a very young age, Ernesto is exceptionally strong and fit. His robust physiology and mind are at the peak human condition of a man of his age, weight, and height. He's been able to overpower combatants like Jacob with relative ease and has defeated foes with greater strength. He was able to take Jacob and launch him a few meters of distance despite not having super powers yet and was able to gain the upper hand against a physically stronger K.E.S.E. member after he pinned Ernesto to the floor. Despite having lost his superpowers by injecting himself with the antidote, Ernesto apparently managed to permanently conserve some of his strength and resistance, but at a very low level, managing to remain in a peak physical human condition.
* **Master Martial Artist**: Ernesto was rigorously trained in multiple martial arts and hand-to-hand combat styles by the government. Ernesto eventually used his skills to fight crime for the government. Ernesto's fighting style incorporates Boxing, Kung Fu, Taekwondo, Escrima, Ninjutsu and Pro-Wrestling. He was able to easily defeat Jacob in their first fight and fight once again in equal terms after the latter trained especially to fight against him, but even so Ernesto could beat him again and only the Elixir of Life could be used to defeat him at that time. After being revived by Kesler in Ernesto vs Jacob 2, he fought and easily defeated Jacob once again and sent him to jail afterwards. Though with some difficulty, Ernesto was also ultimately able to overpower Kesler in Ernesto vs Jacob 3, even when the latter had super powers. His skill also allowed him to fight evenly against Jacob even when he had super powers during Ernesto vs Jacob: Ultimate Battle, though Jacob was only able to defeat Ernesto, due to a last second distraction. However, Ernesto would still have problems facing opponents with more combat skill and experience, such as Eddie and a resurrected Kesler, though even the latter acknowledged Ernesto as a worthy opponent and challenged him to a fist fight for his freedom during Ernesto vs Jacob: The Awakening, however he ended up losing the fight because of Kesler's immense strength. Ernesto was also able to fight a K.E.S.E. member despite being attacked by surprise and had the upper hand in the majority of the fight. Two years after the definitive defeat of Kesler and the K.E.S.E., Ernesto's combat skills improved noticeably, now being able to perform stunts and defeat entire groups of enemies simultaneously without major problems, he was also able to defeat the extremely talented martial artist and former government agent Kuvira in a sparring session, who recognized his improvement after several training sessions.
