## Synopsis

An ancient curse threats humanity, the three protagonists will be affected with the arrival of a old enemy, they must learn how to work together and to put away their differences in order to success.

## Plot

In a desolated area near a river during nighttime, a group of black hooded men were walking towards a secret facility under the river, they walked into a room, and then they surrounded a mysterious tank with someone in a dormant
state inside of it, so they kneed before it, then one member of the cult said: "*soon you will awake and be feared by the world once again".*

Back in Ernesto’s neighborhood, the trio was 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, so Ernesto told him that they should take a break from it because they’ve been investigating nonstop about them for two weeks, so Jacob then 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 to them 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 ambush those points, Jacob agreed with him and told Ernesto to print a map of their locations.

Meanwhile in the secret facility, one member of the cult was guarding the tank and then was approached by another member telling him that they lost another member by the hands of Ernesto and Jacob and that if it continues like that, then everything they’ve been working on will be over, however the other member confidently told him that “*there’s nothing to worry about, because it’s only a matter of time before he wakes up and restore the order, then Ernesto and Jacob will even kneed before him begging him for their lives”*.

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 told Jacob to take out the guards of the entry with headshots, then Jacob killed them 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.

Jacob was stealthily walking until he found a room with some members talking, so he got close to them in order to hear what they were saying, he heard that they were talking about how many people had recently lost because of Ernesto and Jacob, so they are planning to wake the “big guy” up and that he will finish them once and for all, however Jacob made a noise from the impression and they started shooting at him, so Jacob ran for cover and when they attempted to reload their guns, Jacob took advantage of that and headshot every member that was in the room.

Meanwhile, Ernesto finds 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.

Jarliev then found a way to the roof, where there were some members, so he tried to shot at them, but got attacked from behind by another member and knocked him down, while Jarliev was in the floor, the member told him: *"well well well, just look who we got here, Jarliev the “dead man”, it’s been a while since you worked with us, remember?*”Jarliev then angrily told him that that is something he will always regret and that he will kill them all once and for all, but then the member aimed the gun to Jarliev, however the member got shot in the head from behind by Jacob, so Jarliev got up and they
gunned down the rest of the member from the roof.

Jarliev thanked Jacob for saving him but 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 finish up the K.E.S.E. once and for all, however a ashamed Jarliev revealed that he worked for the K.E.S.E. years ago and that the mission about infiltrating in the house in order to resurrect Ernesto, was a mission for the K.E.S.E. because they wanted Ernesto to join the 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 two years ago.

Jacob became 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 him 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.

Meanwhile at the secret facility, one member of the cult told the guard of the tank that their outpost was attacked by Ernesto, Jacob and Jarliev and that they killed every member that was guarding the outpost, so the guard told him that they already have every tool they need for the ritual to awake the man inside the tank, but they only need someone biologically related to him in order to perform the ritual.

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 until now, however Ernesto told him that he can’t talk to him for now, because any time he thinks about Jarliev, 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 him that he understands but that he should consider forgive him.

Jacob then revealed to Ernesto that he heard some K.E.S.E. members talking about awakening a guy who will destroy them, so 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 him 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.

While they were leaving to the next outpost, Jarliev watched them parting away with a tear on his eye; 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 could explode 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: *“dieeee, dieeee, dieeee*”*,* Ernesto then spotted a gas tank, so he shot it and caused an explosion that killed most of the members, so Jacob took one of them while Ernesto took down the rest of them.

They tied up in a tree the captured member and when he
woke up, he threated 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 also asked him if they are the same, 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, etc.

Meanwhile back in Ernesto’s house, Jarliev was sleeping in his bedroom until he heard a noise outside the room, so he thought that maybe Ernesto and Jacob returned from the mission but he decided to go check outside anyways, when he went to the living room, he was surprised to see that there was nobody there, but before he tried to get back to his bedroom, he got knocked out by a member of the cultist fraction of the K.E.S.E. and took him with him.

Back at the outpost, Ernesto and Jacob asked him directly about who are they trying to awake, however the cultist began to laugh and told them that it will surprised 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, so 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 they 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 him 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.

Meanwhile, Jarliev woke up in the secret facility and was cornered by the cultist, and then he was approached by the guard of tank and told him: *“welcome to El Dorado, you never got a chance to meet this place but now I’m glad you are here, you see this tank? Well, inside of it there’s one person that can fix our recent failures, and you are the key to make that happened, well we thought about Ernesto too but he wasn’t home when we got you, so now we will start the ritual to wake him up”.*

Jarliev then began shaking out of fear, and was restrained by some cultist and
then the guard nailed a small tube from tank to Jarliev's arm and it began sucking Jarliev’s blood, the cultist cornered the tank and began talking kneeling while talking in a strange language like if they were casting a spell, suddenly the tank started to glow in a red light and to throw lightning, then the tank exploded and from the flames emerged Kesler, so the cultists members lowered their heads as a sign of respect
for him and told him: *welcome back master Kesler,* *we were so lost without your leadership that we almost ceased to exist*”. *Then Kesler, who now have red eyes, asked them about where was Eddie, Scorpius and Ezequiel, so the cultists members with a fearful voice revealed him that they were all killed by Ernesto and Jacob, but that before they died, they transferred him their super powers while he was in his dormant state, however Kesler became enrage for the deaths of his most loyal members and killed all the cultist by disintegrating them with a powerful lightning.*

Jarliev then woke up and Kesler greeted him and thanked him for his “collaboration”, Jarliev became shocked to see Kesler alive a well again, so he tried to escape but Kesler stopped him with telekinesis and pin him in a wall telling him: “*you are not going anywhere, at least not before telling me where is Ernesto and Jacob, I need to pay them a visit for killing my men, that’s something I can’t tolerate, I mean yeah I killed some cultists, but it doesn’t matter because now I need soldiers and lieutenants, and that’s something that is scarce nowadays, having good fighters and loyal at the same time*”.

Kesler dropped Jarliev from the wall and he hit the ground hard enough to pass out, then more members of the cultist came to the place and they kneeled before Kesler, then they
asked him if he is planning to kill Ernesto and Jacob, but Kesler replied: *“No, they already tried that before and it didn’t worked, but if we can’t kill them, then they will join us*”*,* sothe cultist informed Kesler that they would never join them after everything they have done to them, however Kesler ordered to pass him the spell book because
he have something in mind.

When Jarliev woke up, Kesler approached to him and touched his heart while speaking in a strange language, then Jarliev's eyes became red and Kesler told him: “*welcome to the team Jarliev, it’s great to have you back with us, now I want you to bring me Ernesto and Jacob, bring them here and we will be a great team together*”. Jarliev then replied “*It will be a pleasure master Kesler*”, and then his eyes became normal once again.

Some hours later back in Ernesto's house, Ernesto was getting 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 him 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 told 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 lied to him by saying that he got attacked by a member of the K.E.S.E. but that he was able to fight him and extracted information from him, so Ernesto agreed to him that he will go check that facility in order to finish off the organization once and for all, but when Ernesto left the house, Jarliev began smiling and his eyes became red for a brief moment again.

Meanwhile back in one of the outpost, Jacob arrived and noticed that the place was empty like they had left it previously, so he attempted to call Ernesto but nobody answered it because he left his phone in the house, so he decided to go to another outpost to search for him.

Back at 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 Kesler approached him using a red hooded cape, Ernesto feeling powerless began shaking, so Kesler told him: *"Hi Ernesto, it's been a while right? well believe it or not, I'm glad to see you again because we are cousins, we are family, and we gotta stick together and work as a team, but I'm not stupid, i know that you will never work with us after everything we have done to you, Jacob and even Jarliev, but i have an ace up my sleeve......... you see this spell book?, well I'm gonna use it in order to turn you into a Rarzar just like i did to Jarliev a few hours ago, right 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 by telling him 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, so a confident Ernesto agreed and began punching Kesler in the face, but 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 made the same ritual he did to Jarliev and then Ernesto's eyes became red too, so Kesler told him: *"Welcome to the K.E.S.E. Ernesto, we always wanted you into our team and now together we will do extraordinate things, but the team is still incomplete, bring Jacob and we will be unstoppable".* so Ernesto with a smile on his face told him: *"Thank you master Kesler, it would be a pleasure"*.

Meanwhile, Jacob was driving to another outpost to look for Jarliev, however he got attacked by some members of the K.E.S.E. who were chasing him by car, so Jacob started to shot at them while driving at the same time, after a few shots Jacob managed to shot the wheels of the attacker's car and their car swerved until it hit a tree, then Jacob got out of his car to check his attackers, when the approached them, he noticed that the driver died in the clash but the shooter was severely wounded, so Jacob took him out of the car and asked him where is Jarliev, but the attacker couldn't responded because he was drowning in his own blood, so Jacob shot him in the head out of mercy.

Jacob then returned to his car but before he could leave the place, he received a phone call from Ernesto, when he answered it, Ernesto told him: "*Hey Jacob, guess what........ i found Jarliev, he is OK after all and he just went out because he had an appointment, so come back home",* so Jacob gladly told him that he is coming back to the house.

When Jacob arrived at Ernesto's house, he encountered Ernesto and informed him that before he called him, 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 him 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 just 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 him and then his weapons began to levitate and they were thrown apart, then Jacob was shocked to see Kesler in a red cape approaching to him, so Jacob sarcastically told him: *"So, you want the rematch? remember who killed you before, who stabbed you to death"*, but Kesler laughed at him and told him that he wouldn't even be able to touch him again because he is way more powerful than before, so he won't die like last time.

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, so Jacob said to himself that that explains why Ernesto took him to the facility; Jacob told Kesler that even though he doesn't know 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.

Jacob then tried to escape but Kesler began to control him via telekinesis and sarcastically asked him: *"Do you remember who had his Super Power?"* 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 guns was lying in front of him, so he quickly took the pistol 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.

While driving away, he acknowledged that the cannot return to Ernesto's house while he was still a Rarzar, so he drove to the dam where nobody would find him until he finds out about a cure for Ernesto and Jarliev in less than 24 hours.

Meanwhile at the Facility, Ernesto was telling Kesler that he will kill Jacob if he causes more trouble, but Kesler (who had already regenerated the wound), revealed 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.

Back at the dam, Jacob was analyzing the spell book and began to read information about The Rarzars, and it says that: *"A Rarzar is a person without a soul or a moral compass. They only want to cause chaos and serve the caster of the spell. From observation, it seems that the nicer the person is, the worse of a Rarzar they become. A Rarzar has red eyes that they can briefly turn them red whenever they want, unless they permanently become into a Rarzar without a counterspell in 24 hours, in that case they would have red eyes permanently"*. So a interested Jacob began to research in the book for the counterspell and he found out that there are only two possible ways to cure a Rarzar, one of them is by collecting at least five leaf of a Tree of Life and to prepare a solution with them by crushing them and inject the juice in the Rarzar's heart because the juice of the Tree of Life can relieve their souls from the curse, and the other way to cure a Rarzar would be to defeat the caster of the curse, but Jacob stated that that would be a last resort option because of how powerful Kesler was, so single-handedly defeating him wouldn't be a very smart move.

Ernesto arrived to his house with Jarliev and the two began tracking down Jacob with an app that Ernesto stole from the government before he renounced, and with it, they found out that Jacob was nearby the woods, so they left the house and began to drive to the place to capture him and recover the spell book.

Back in the woods, Jacob walked to where the Tree of Life was, and when he found it, he thanked the Tree for bringing him back to life when he needed to defeat Scorpius just a month ago. He then climbed the tree and, asking it for permission, took ten leaves in total, five for Ernesto and five for Jarliev, then crushed them and poured the juice into syringes.

Meanwhile, Ernesto and Jarliev arrived to the woods and the decided to go in separate ways in order to look for him faster, some minutes later Jacob who was attempting to leave the place heard a noise and tried to take a look to find out what was it, but then Jarliev tackled Jacob and began to choke him while telling him: *"I don't care what Kesler orders, i will kill you prevent you from causing more problems for him and the organization, and then we will rule the world, me, Ernesto and Kesler, and no one will get in our way, specially not you"*, but then Jacob managed to overpower him with a knee in the stomach, so Jacob dragged himself and took one syringe and injected Jarliev in the heart and said in a ancient language: *"I declare you free from the curse"*, then Jarliev began coughing and asked Jacob what happened, so he informed Jarliev that he was under a curse but that they need to search Ernesto to also cure him from the curse, however Jarliev told Jacob that he doesn't remember anything after Kesler cursed him, but that he will help him to look for Ernesto.

Meanwhile at the Facility, Kesler sensed that either Ernesto or Jarliev were cured from the curse. Getting impatient, Kesler had finally grown tired with the lack of progress in his crusade and decided to take matters into his own hands, so he took from his secret vault some mysterious gloves and a hand mirror, and began to hunt for the spell book himself, believing himself to be capable of completing the task, smiling confidently to himself at the prospect of victory.

Elsewhere, Jacob and Jarliev were exploring the woods at nighttime until they found Scorpius' former headquarters, so Jacob suffered from headaches to remember about that place and Jarliev asked him if he was OK, but Jacob told him that it doesn't matter and that he is OK, so they entered the abandoned house and they found Ernesto meditating and he revealed his red eyes saying that: *"I knew you were coming here Jacob, do you remember this place? Well it is ironically that after everything that you suffered here for some months, you still came back here"*, but Jacob took out the syringe and told Ernesto that he will cure him, however Ernesto told him that he is not surprised that he managed to cure Jarliev because he knew he was weak even as a Rarzar and that he wouldn't last long, but that with him it will be a different story because he will not going down so easily like Jarliev.

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, so he 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 in an ancient language: *"I declare you free from the curse"*, then Ernesto's red eyes became normal and began coughing. Ernesto feeling both confused and relieved, asked Jacob what happened and where were they, so a exhausted Jacob told Ernesto that he was under a curse but that he is free now like Jarliev, so he apologized to Jacob for any damage he might had done while he was a Rarzar, but Jacob told him that it doesn't matter because it was the Rarzar that made him that way but that it is over now.

The trio left the place and they arrived back to Ernesto's house at 2:00 AM. 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 K.E.S.E. once and for all, Ernesto then proposed that now that they already know the location of their secret facility, so he proposed that they can blown the place with explosive 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 related to 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 of 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 Jean Paul Genia Street battle 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, Jacob and Jarliev along with various government agents arrived at the secret facility, they were surprised that there was no security outside, so they proceed to place various explosives around the facility. Once they planted the bombs, Ernesto entered the place to plant explosives inside as well but was discovered by some cultist, however Ernesto managed kill them with his pistol and quickly set up the rest of the explosives, then walked out of the facility and ordered the government agents to set the timer and activate the bombs. Everyone took cover and a huge explosion engulfed the facility, destroying it and leaving nothing more than debris. The remaining of the cultist that were still inside perished, so the team gladly congratulated each other and decided to celebrate the victory at Ernesto's house with wine.

When they arrived at the house, Jacob opened the wine and proceeded to serve it, suddenly they heard shots coming from outside the house alerting them, so they went outside and were shocked to see Kesler along with hundreds of his armed agents surrounding the house, they were so heavily armed that they even had a military tank. Kesler began to levitate and angrily told them that: *"You have something that belongs to me, give it back and I promise that no more agents will have to die.... bring me the spell book and I will let you live"*, but the government agents began aiming their guns at Kesler's team, but Ernesto told them to not shoot.

Ernesto attempted to negotiate with Kesler by telling 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 or make anyone join his organization by turning them into Rarzars. Kesler sarcastically told him that "*what's the point of that?"*. Ernesto secretly informed Jacob and Jarliev via a communicator to get ready for war, so he told Kesler that: *"If you want a war, then you'll have a war".*

Ernesto proceeded to shoot at Kesler's team and a huge war ensued with exchanges of gunfire and explosions everywhere. The shootout continued until most of the teams were either dead or injured, so Kesler angrily said: "*Ok, they had enough fun, we are getting in........kill them all*". Kesler angrily ordered the military tank driver to penetrate the walls of the house. Ernesto alongside with Jacob and Jarliev 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, some government agents began evacuating the house to save their lives, so Jarliev informed Jacob that there is a special RPG in the dinning room that the government recently manufactured that they can use to protect themselves. Jacob ran to the dinning room while 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 shoot the tank, destroying it.

Kesler, seeing his tank destroyed and most of his agents dead, got angry like never before, began to levitate and said to himself: *"It's enough, they are not expecting this".* Using almost all his energy, caused a huge explosion that ended up destroying Ernesto's already damaged house and ended up killing most of the government agents that were still alive in the process.

Ernesto, Jacob and Jarliev barely managed to get up from the debris and fire, they crawled to safety and knelt down. Kesler, seeing them, walked towards them and told them: *"Did you already shit in your pants? because you will, I wanted this to work out, I wanted you to join me and my organization and we could have been a unstoppable team together, but you ended up killing my men, and I am still not counting how you guys previously killed my lieutenants Eddie, Scorpius and Ezequiel, but I wanted to forgive you but you ended up killing more of my people and i do not appreciate you killing my men. Today was career day, we invested a lot so you know what I can do, I contacted some infiltrated agents inside the military and they gave us the tank that you guys destroyed. I don't want to kill you guys, I want you that you work for me and yo can't do it if you're dead, now can you. But you killed my people, a whole damn lot of them, more than I am comfortable with and for that you got to pay. So now, i am going to absorb your souls into this magic hand mirror and you'll be trapped in the underworld where you'll be punished for the eternity, but before i do that, i am going to get more Rarzars because I am running low of agents"*.

Kesler then put on the 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 them 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: *"we have you surrounded, it's over and now you guys gotta pay with your lives, master Kesler will lead us to a better future and the only rock in the road are the three of you".*

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: *"Don't just stand there, go pick them up..... go after them!!!"* so the civilians tried chasing the car but they eventually lost it.

The driver of the car introduced her 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, so 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.

Meanwhile, Kesler was attempting to find the mirror in the remaining of Ernesto's house, but he was approached by Ligia asking him if she can help him somehow, so Kesler told her to keep and eye on the road and to inform him if she sees the car again, so Ligia agreed with him and walked to the road to monitor it.

After a while, Ligia noticed that the car was approaching the zone, so she communicated with Kesler with a talkie and informed him that they are returning, so Kesler simply told her: *"Nice work"*.

When they arrived to the place, they were surprised that the place was empty, so they proceed to walk cautiously around the place, however a group of civilians revealing their red eyes attacked them, but Ernesto told 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 him 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 hand when he blocked one of Jacob's punch and responded by kicking Jacob to the face. Jacob got up and took the mirror and attempted to attack Kesler, but he managed to block Jacob's attack and threw the mirror away, but 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. Meanwhile Jacob was fighting Kesler, but Kesler took Jacob and threw him some meters away, Jacob managed to get up and a brutal fistfight began between them. Ernesto was cornered by some K.E.S.E. members but he was saved by Kuvira who managed to shot them in the head, Ernesto greeted 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.

Jacob and Kesler are still fighting. 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"*.

Jacob is overwhelmed by Kesler, who pins him down and brutally beats him before beginning to choke him to death. Suddenly, Jarliev took the mirror and used it against Kesler, when Jarliev used the mirror, it became so hot that Jarliev dropped it and it oppened a portal, after seeing that, Kesler said: *"No, i can't believe you figured out how that magic mirror works, noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!"* Then Kesler's soul came out of his body and he was engulfed by a fiery portal leading to the Lake of Fire in the Underworld, and the portal closed by itself, then Kesler's body became stone and it disintegrated. Later on every civilian that was a Rarzar turned back to normal and the remaining K.E.S.E. fighters after noticing the death of their leader, they keeled and they were shot by Ernesto and Kuvira.

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 him that they surrendered after witnessing Kesler's death and that 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, the team was celebrating their anniversary of the defeat of Kesler and the K.E.S.E. in a rebuilt Ernesto's house, Ernesto stood up from his chair and said: *"Today, two years ago we ended a reign of terror that Kesler and his organization, the K.E.S.E. were provoking, we suffered casualties, we lost several good government agents and innocent civilian who where only at the wrong place at the wrong time, but to honor their deaths, we fighted to end and we never gave up and all that effort paid off when we defeated Kesler once and for all, and the one who truly defeated him was my brave cousin Jarliev, who saved Jacob's lives and saved our lives, he died a few years ago at the hands of him, but when i resurrected him, he wasn't afraid of him and he sneaked up behind him and he used that magic mirror to capture him and since that day we can finally fall asleep without having to worry about some crazy dude to put a knife in our throats, so in other words........... happy victory anniversary people"*.

The team began cheering and they proceed to eat the dinner to celebrate the anniversary. A few hours later, Jacob was telling Ernesto that it's 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.

Meanwhile, Jarliev was cleaning the house because of the meeting of the day before, suddenly someone riged the house's doorbell, so Jarliev went to the principal door and saw a man asking if Ernesto or Jacob were at the house right now, because he needed to talk with the leaders of "The Circle of Erjacjar", but Jarliev informed the man that both Ernesto and Jacob were not in the house at the moment, so the man told Jarliev that because he has a high rank in their organization, he should come with him because he needs to show them something important. Jarliev although reluctant at first agreed with the man and went with him.

The man took Jarliev to a government secret underground levels, Jarliev seemingly suspicious of the man asked him if he is taking him to a trap, but the man informed Jarliev that if he wanted to kill him, he would have done it already, so Jarliev asked the man his name in order to trust him, so the man introduced himself as Augustus Zeno and revealed to Jarliev that he works for the government and that they've been working in a secret project for the last two years.

Augustus then took Jarliev to a big room where there was a big machine like a capsule with lots of cables, buttons and a screen with numbers, so a shocked Jarliev asked Augustus what kind of machine it was, so Augustus told Jarliev: *"This is the solution"*.
