Kiko is his two giant and strong henchmen opens Kevin's room and takes Kevin to a battlefield that was hidden somewhere in one of the buildings. This is a very special place to him, where he usually practices when he feels like this.

In there, on a concrete wall, a large, rectangular wooden box sits. It' s covered with dirt and has vines growing everywhere around it; a makeshift altar to his ancestors.

"What' s this?" Kevin asks.

"This is where we perform our rituals," Kiko replies. "We use this place to practice our magic."

"Magic?" Kevin asks.

"Yeah, magic," Kiko says. "You see, magic is real. Magic is real

Kiko points to the girl on the other side and says you're going to fight that girl from the enemy group we kidnapped last month."

"Why her?"

"Because she is the daughter of one of the leaders of the group. She is very powerful. We will defeat her and take her with us to our lair, the one that we used to practice in."

"And then we'll bring them home?"

"Yes," Kiko says. "

Kiko says if you kill her, I'll make you a soldier of mine, and I'll heal your friend Ben's eyes. You will become one of my soldiers as well, and I will train you until you can be the best soldier in the whole world."

"How does it work?" Kevin asks curiously.

"That depends on you. If you succeed, we will go to another city together and I will teach you everything I know."

Kiko starts moving forward, holding out his hand to Kevin. "Come. We' ll begin your initiation ritual now."

Kevin grabs Kiko' s hand and allows him to guide him to the small clearing behind the wooden building. The clearing is filled with several boxes and piles of junk.

pick a gun boy says Kiko, handing him a pistol and a knife. He' s taught you well, the bullet inside that gun is loaded with a poison made by my sister.

Kevin holds the gun tightly in his hands, he looks into his eyes and sees determination there. It was hard for him to say this aloud, but it' s necessary.

I want you to kill that girl. I don' t want you to spare her, you' ve heard all the bad things she' s done. Do not hesitate to shoot and kill. You will gain the respect of my henchmen, and I will reward you with lots of money and weapons. Are we clear?"

Kevin nods and gives him an enthusiastic smile. Yes sir!

"Good," he replies and reaches into his pack. He hands Kevrin a bottle and some rope and handcuffs. The latter of which Kevin quickly puts on him, leaving only a thin piece of silver chain connecting Kevin's wrists together. Then Kiko pulls out a gun and hands it to him. You should have your own.

Kevin takes the gun and examines it carefully, turning it around in his hands. He' s never had a gun before, much less fired one.

it' s simple. It fires a small dart.

Kiko says the gun I gave you Kevin was for you to finish her when she is very hurt and couldn't get up, you can only fight her with a knife, no firearms. There' s no way she' ll be able to defend herself, so try to avoid getting shot unless absolutely necessary.

Then he points to one of the boxes near to Kevin and tells him to pick a weapon and move to stand beside the pile of junk. When Kevin picks a gun, Kiko turns back to look at him.

Kiko says fight! fight with all your might boy. Show them what kind of power you possess! Show me your strength! Show them what kind of monster they will fear to face! Show them how great of a hero you truly are!

Kevin hesitates for a second, but then grins and raises the gun to his eye and squeezes the trigger.

but the woman is don't hesitate, dodging the bullet is taking Kevin's arm is throwing him against the ground with a thump. She' s fast, too damn fast, he' s already lost sight of her, and she' s probably hiding somewhere nearby waiting for her chance to attack.

she' s probably watching you right now boy. She knows you don 't like guns, and she'll be ready for anything that comes your way. Don't falter boy, do everything possible to keep her from attacking you. If you fail in doing that then all this training...all these sacrifices...will have been for nothing.

Kevin grunts as he pushes himself off the floor, he wipes blood off his forehead as he stands up and continues scanning the area. He' s sure that she' s close, but he also knows that there' s nothing he can do if she tries to escape. He' s stuck, he' s trapped, and he' s gonna die.

Just as he' s finished talking that the woman appears once again.

punching Kevin in the stomach is, throwing him on the ground is trying to make a kill Lion is Kevin Kevin tries to leave but is trapped, between the woman's legs is standing Kiko trying to stop her from stabbing him with one of those daggers he has hidden on his belt.

and finally Kiko is yelling at Kevin to run away.

Kevin tries to run but the woman blocks his way with one of those knives he' s seen before, and throws him back on the ground.

Is the woman hitting his neck, and Kevin gasps and falls back unconscious.

The woman getting up is going to the exit thinking Kevin is dead, but Kevin getting up is looking at a woman with fury is hate, Kevin screaming in hate is fury and running after her.

is the woman pulling her hair trying to throw Kevin back on the ground, he just catches her hair by the roots and twists his arms to break her grip.

he grabs her wrist and yanks it backward so violently that the woman drops her dagger. And Kevin punches the woman in the face once more Kevin bites the woman's neck and rips out the bone marrow that he can see.

the woman screams as she collapses.

is Kevin jumping at her to rip her skin open to get the marrow inside.

she's still alive as she hits Kevin with the back of her hand and smashes his skull into the ground. Kevin falls limp. His head bleeding from both the punch and the woman's kick.

the woman is getting up, picking up her dagger as her blood seeps into Kevin's clothes.

but Kevin gets up to the woman's surprise, Kevin punches the woman so hard in the throat that he falls to the ground.

Kevin kicks the woman across the body and pins her to the ground with his knees. He brings his fist back up and hits the woman square in her nose, breaking it and causing her to scream in pain. Blood spills out of her nose and splatters onto the ground.

She's coughing and wheezing and gasping for air, but Kevin doesn' t stop.

He keeps hitting the woman in the face, in the stomach, in the head, in the chest, in the back of the legs, in the knees. Each blow harder than the next, every blow more powerful, each blow deeper, each blow longer.

Kevin is beating the woman to death in a rage.

The woman's chest is heaving and gurgling for breath, her eyes fluttering shut, her mouth opened wide with a scream hanging on the tip of her tongue. Her blood is pouring out of her nose like a river, her eyes are rolling around their sockets in her head in confusion.

Kevin keeps pounding away.

Finally the woman stops breathing, her eyes roll back in her head, and she' ll never wake up again.

Kevin sits there on the cold concrete in silence for a moment and then he gets up slowly.

He grabs the woman' s hand and removes her bracelet.

Kevin helping Kevin up is putting him in the car; it's back to the community, Kiko putting Kevin in a warm room is comfortable clothes and food.

Kevin and Kiko are laughing and joking, having a nice time. They are talking about how fun it would be to be the leader of the village when everyone else is busy fighting wars or protecting others from danger. That' s when Kiko notices that Kevin's left arm is covered in scars. He' s scars Kiko says I have a present for you, Kiko get an eye patch to give it to Kevin to cover his mutilated eye.

Kevin walks over to a shelf and grabs a pair of glasses that are lying there and walks back over to Kiko. He puts the eye patch on and Kiko shows him a mirror.

Kevin looks at the reflection of himself and smiles. His face looks so much better now, he' s healing and looking stronger. It' s funny, when you think of it, he used to think that the world was cruel and unfair, he thought that life had given him a terrible fate, that death would be waiting for him at any minute. Now, all of sudden he' s changed. Everything turned out fine in the end, even though the ending didn' t really turn out the way that you wanted to. But who cares? Life is full of mistakes. This was a stupid mistake, and he was wrong. No matter what happens in the future, he is happy here with Kiko, his father and the rest of his family. And he wouldn' t ever trade this feeling for any other.

Kiko says I have another surprise for you, Kiko takes Kevin to the room where Ben is where his eyes are healed. Where he got the scar that cuts his eyebrow and gives him a perpetual half grin, and where he has been sitting waiting for them ever since they arrived.

Kevin steps forward and hugs Ben. A real hug this time. Ben hugs back, not caring about being covered in dirt or dried blood. He' s glad Kevin came back okay, and he' s glad that Kevin is smiling again. He is also happy because Kevin is safe now, and that's all that matters to him.

"I missed you so much!" Kevin says happily hugging him tighter.

Ben hugs him back. "You were gone three whole days Kevin." Kiko says it's the last surprise for you Kevin, Kiko says Pedro can come, cured Pedro goes to the room where Kevin is Ben

Kiko says Kevin I'm your Father,Kevin looks at Ben, Kevin says it's true, Ben nods his head admitted that yes, Kiko is Kevin's Father
