Vol. 2 - Chapter 5.5: El Charro Negro vs. The Chupacabras

(BOOOOOOMMMM, RRRAAAAAAAWWWW)

Uriel and the Chupacabras land on the abandoned building next to the restaurant. Both of them continue their fight. Uriel attacks with his sword trying to cut the Chupacabras. The Chupacabras increases its speed in order to avoid the attack.

“Viento Divino…” (Divine Wind) Uriel attacks using his wind, the Chupcabras takes the attacks head on. Uriel opens his eyes wider; “What the…did he strengthen his skin?”

The Chuacabras gathers mana in his mouth. -RRRAAWWW- The Chupacabras roars, releasing a powerful laser type attack towards Uriel. Uriel dodges the attack. -CCRRAASHH- The attack hits two buildings straight. Uriel observes the holes in the wall:

“That attack…if it hits me…I’m done for…” Uriel notices the Chupacabras and notices his rhythm and heart beat. -BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP- “You…why are you attacking? Why are you doing this?”

“R-R-Revenge….” The Chupacabras replies, Uriel looks confused; “Revenge…on who?”

(RRRAAAAAWWW)

The Chupacabras flies straight at Uriel. Uriel prepares to attack; “Arte del Mariachi” (Mariachi Art) Uriel bends his knees and heads straight at the Chupacabras.

(BBBOOOMMM)

Both of them clash with force, releasing a powerful shockwave, destroying the floor. Both of them fall, Uriel lands on the next floor, the Chupacabras Floats as he releases a powerful laser beam attack.

(BOOM BOOM BOOM)

Uriel dodges the attacks, he counters with his divine wind, cutting the monster. The Chupacabras destabilizes, Uriel smiles; “This is my chance….”

“I got you now…” Uriel sees Fabiola jumping into the air preparing to attack the Chupacabras. Uriel opens his eyes wider; “NO…WAIT…”

“HHAAA….” Fabiola prepares to stab the monster, the Chupacabras dodges the attacks grabs Fabiola from her neck; “GGYYYAAHH” Uriel jumps trying to save her; “FFAABBBIIOOLLAA”

Uriel gathers mana and jumps towards them. The Chupacabras prepares to attack Fabiola; “DIE…” At that moment, the Chupacabras sees the image of a girl with white hair and stops; “ESTRELLA”

(PPPUUMMM)

Uriel kicks the Chupacabras and grabs Fabiola in his arms; “Fabiola…hang on…” Fabiola coughs up blood; “U-U-Uriel…”

(RRRAAAWWW)

“Fabiola…cover your ears…” Uriel lands with Fabiola. The monster releases mana in the form of shockwaves.

The roar destroys the windows on the buildings nearby. Everyone within the radius hears the roar.

“What’s that noise?” Alejandro looks at Tiwa who also has her ears covered; “It’s the Chupacabras…”

“Uriel…” Kasumi and Shion cover their ears from the attack. Sister Carolina, who is at the entrance of the old building; “Fabiola…”

After a few seconds, Fabiola opens her eyes, she sees Uriel is holding her and blushes; “Uriel…could you please let me go?” Uriel falls into his knees, Fabiola opens her eyes wider; “Uriel…your eyes are bleeding…and your ears…”

The attack temporarily affected Uriel’s sight and hearing, Uriel chuckles; “He got me good…I can’t hear or see anything…”

Fabiola hugs Uriel; “Uriel…please…forgive me…I know that you can’t hear me…but still…” Uriel pats her head; “Fabiola…listen…it’s not your fault…listen…you know what to do…I believe in you…” Uriel puts his Charro hat on to Fabiola.

Uriel stands up and walks towards the center and takes a deep breath; “This is a difficult test…”

The building has the ceiling falling down, no electricity meaning that it is completely dark around. The Chupacabras makes its presence disappear.

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

Rain falls heavy, with lightning touching the ground, meaning that it is freezing.

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

Uriel only hears his heartbeat. He is bleeding from his head and one of his arms. He breathes heavily as he holds his sword tight; “Focus…on the rhythm of the soul…”

(RRRRRAAAAWWW)

(SSSSLLLAASSHHH)

The Chupacabras flies from the roof and attacks Uriel. Uriel blocks the attack with his sword. The monster flies at great speed making it hard to observe. Fabiola looks with fear; “Something I can do…but what?”

The Chupacabras attacks continuously, Uriel tries his best to block it, however the ground below him breaks.

(CCCRRAAASSHHH)

Uriel stands up and gets his guard up once again; “This is not good, I’m losing control, come on I must focus or we’ll die.”

(SSSLLLLAAASSHHHH)

“Breathe, Breathe, Focus, Focus, come on FOCUS!!!”

Uriel thinks to himself as he tries to concentrate. The monster flies down once again, Uriel turns trying to cut him.

(BBBBBBOOOOOMMMM)

An explosion causes the floor to collapse once again. Blood splashes in the wall and on the floor. Lightning falls illuminating the room. Drops of water pour down to Uriel as rain showers the city and lightning comes down every minute.

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)

“Remember the chord sequences that Juan taught you in the guitar and apply it into battle, that way you will predict the enemy’s movements and find a way to counter attack.”

“Damn it...why do I have to remember that girl…” Uriel chuckles as he thinks about Alexa.

(BBBAADDUUMMPPP)

Uriel begins to hear the Chupacabras’ rhythm. For instance, a flame moves around the room noticeable to Uriel’s eyes. The flame begins to float in the air. Uriel notices and smiles;“I found you monster”

The Chupacabras slowly floats behind Uriel and charges at him. Uriel begins to whisper:

“Arte del Mariachi: Canción de la Luna, Cuarta Estrofa: Cuarto Menguante” (: Mariachi Art: Song of the Moon, Fourth Stanza: Quarter moon descend”

“NOW FABIOLA!” Uriel shouts, Fabiola smiles; “I know what to do?” Fabiola closes her eyes and chants; “Oh Señor…ilumina las almas de los pecadores…Santa Luz!” (Oh Lord…Illuminate the souls of those sinners…Holy Light!)

Fabiola extends her hands and illuminates the room with a bright light. -RRRAAWWW- The Chupacabras gets blinded instantly. Uriel turns around with his eyes closed and lifts his sword, cutting it downward forming the shape of a crescent moon with a platinum aura.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

(SWWWWIIINNNGGG)

(RRRRAAAAWWWW)

The Chupacabras roars as Uriel slashes its arm off. The arm falls and disappears.

“EXCELLENT FABIOLA!” Uriel smiles at Fabiola. Fabiola feels relieved and smiles; “I did it…”

“Fabiola…” Sister Carolina runs to her side; “Sister…” Sister Carolina hugs her; “I was so worried…”

“Carolina…take care of her…” Uriel shouts as he uses his holy wind to jump upstairs. The Chupacabras flies away from Uriel, it goes outside at high speed going to the sky.

Uriel slowly heals himself thanks to the Charro abilities. Meanwhile the beast flies in circles trying to heal itself.

“This is the end…” Uriel jumps into the air and creates a vortex of wind once again. He stands in a position where the moon is behind him. Soon portals begin to appear and specters come out charging at Uriel. Uriel takes a deep breath and remembers Juan’s voice:

“Listen Muchacho, the attacks that you make are stronger when you make them in front of the element used.”

Uriel moves his arm and spins the sword making the shape of the moon. The light of the moon reflects the sword shining its light. The sword shines brighter and Uriel begins to chant:

“Arte del Mariachi: Canción de la Luna, Quinta Estrofa: Luna Llena” (Mariachi Art: Song of the Moon, Fifth Stanza: Full Moon)

(SSSWWWWIIIIINNNNGGGG)

Uriel swings the sword with force. The slash forms a great cylinder similar to a great ray of light that makes the specters disappear. The attack reaches the Chupacabras forcing it through the restaurant. The light is so bright that everyone in the city notices the attack.

(BOOOOOMMMM)

Half of the building disappears by the attack in an instant, leaving only a clean cut.

“What was that?”Alejandro asks Kasumi. Kasumi looks at the sky with shock:

“That was the power of the Charro Negro.”

Uriel cuts the building in half with all of his power…However, the Chupacabras still live and come out of the smoke screen...

The monster has half of his body missing as the Chupacabras slowly flies to the building.

"Oh no...what will happen to the "Ales"?" The hooded girl looks to her right but El Muerto is missing.

“Where did he go...I need to help the Ales…" The girl heads towards the restaurant.

“What was that attack just now, just how strong is Uriel?” Kasumi thinks as she, along with the others, heads towards Uriel's location.

"That guy sure is powerful, my spirits told me that he almost surpassed them at full potential." Tiwa explains to the others as they run.

Jairo: Both of them landed in a building next to you...hurry...they are at the ceiling

Alejandro feels weird as he runs; "Something is wrong...What are these visions?"

******************************************************************************

At the rooftop of a building...

Uriel notices the Chupacabras and uses the wind to gain speed catching up with the monster. He stabs the Chupacabra with his sword and both of them fall to the ceiling of the building next to where the restaurant was.

(BBBBOOOOOOMMMMM)

"Over there…." Everyone heads to Uriel's direction.

Uriel stands in front of the Chupacabras. The Chupacabras lays on the ground as he admits defeat:

"I...give...up...kill...me…"

"Kill you...oh...I will...but first, I'm going to make you atone for your sins."

Uriel makes a sinister smile, his eyes turning red as he slowly walks towards the Chupacabras. He drags the sword on the ground creating sparks.

"You killed more than a thousand people, now you will receive more than a thousand stabs before I kill you."

(SSSLLLLAASSSHHHH)

As they climb the stairs to reach Uriel, Alejandro stops as he breathes heavily.

"What's going on...what are these images…"

"Alejandro, what's wrong?" Tiwa holds him, Alejandro passes out.

"ALEJANDRO!!"

******************************************************************************

Alejandro slowly walks in a dark space. The place is so dark that he can see if he's going in the right direction.

“Where am I?” Alejandro asks himself as he continues to walk aimlessly.

Suddenly a small light appears and grows bigger and brighter. Alejandro covers his eyes. Alejandro rubs his eyes and sees a jungle, there are trees as tall as he could see, many vines hanging in the jungle. Alejandro walks and hears a roar:

(RAAAAWWW)

“Could that be the Chupacabras?” Alejandro asks himself as he runs towards the sound.

When he arrives he sees many Chupacabras corpses lying in the ground. Alejandro feels sick and throws up because of the scene. He raises his head and sees a man in a black hood with a skeleton mask shooting at the Chupacabras flying away instantly killing all but one.

One of them heads towards Alejandro. Alejandro covers himself but the monster passes through him. The man kills the monster. Alejandro sees the bullet pass right through him as well and asks to himself:

“Is this a memory, or an illusion created by the Chupacabras?”

There is only one monster left and he is wounded on the ground. The man slowly walks towards the Chupacabras and points the gun at him:

“I killed your mate, your sons and everybody you know. I will continue to extinguish you, filthy creatures unless you do what I say. How about it, you trash?”

The monster roars and attacks the man, however a portal opens behind the Chupacabras and Specter hands pin the Chupacabras to the ground. -BBBAANNNGG- The man shoots the monster on the leg. He makes a collar of mana and chains the Chupacabras; “You work under me now, your life is mine, you will die the moment I tell you to.”

He lets go of the monster, the monster immediately crawls to what appears to be 3 Chupacabras in the ground, and he grabs them and hugs the three of them.

(RRRRRAAAWWWW)

One female and two little males, at that moment tears come out of the monster. Alejandro tries to walk towards them but the images begin to disappear of his mind.

“WAAAIIITTT!!!!” Alejandro screams as everything goes dark.

******************************************************************************

Alejandro wakes up, he notices everyone is worried. Kasumi walks forward:

"Alejandro, are you alright?"

Alejandro stands up thinking; "What was that dream?"

Alejandro runs towards the ceiling as he thinks; "Something is wrong...I must stop Uriel before he kills the monster…"

Alejandro opens the door, everyone arrives at the ceiling. Everyone opens their eyes wider as they see a puddle of blood.

(SLASH SLASH SLASH)

Uriel continues to stab the monster one time after the other.

"That's one hundred...900 left to go…"

The Chupacabras agonizes in pain. Alejandro runs towards Uriel screaming:

"URIEL STOP!"

Uriel stops before stabbing the monster again. He turns around and glares at Alejandro:

"Why are you stopping me? I am delivering punishment to the monster…"

Alejandro with tears in his eyes replies; "Listen...I saw the Chupacabras' memories...he was forced to kill...because…"

"So what?" Uriel puts on a furious face. Everyone is left speechless, Kasumi looks at Uriel frightened as she thinks; "What is this fear?"

Uriel continues to speak; "Even if it was an order, this monster killed thousands of people...thousands of children...men and women...do you think he deserves mercy?"

"..." Alejandro is speechless. Uriel continues to explain; "If I hadn't stopped him when he was about to attack you and Marjorie...you would have been dead…"

-TCH- Alejandro doesn't say anything. Uriel turns to see the Chupacabras:

"You don't deserve mercy…"

"SSSTTOOPPP" Alejandro runs and grabs Uriel's arm. Uriel, filled with rage, punches Alejandro.

(PPPUUMMM)

"AALLEJJJANDROO" Tiwa screams with fear.

(PUM PUM PUM)

Uriel begins to punch Alejandro multiple times; " Are you stupid? That thing is going to kill you...stop being the good guy...if you continue to be like that...you're going to die."

"Uriel, please stop…" Tiwa runs and hugs Alejandro, Uriel stops punching him.

Kasumi walks towards Uriel.

(SSLLLAAPP)

Kasumi slaps Uriel; "That's enough...you're not acting like yourself…"

Uriel chuckles, he begins to walk away and looks at the moon.

"You're wrong...you see, this is my true nature...I believe that you people have the wrong impression about me…"

Uriel turns around and sees all of them; "You see, I am not the good guy...no...I am the one that serves as the collector of souls...I am the figure that everyone fears...I am El Charro Negro...don't you forget that…"

The moon shines down making his red eyes glow. Alejandro returns his senses and tears come out of his eyes as he sees the monster's eyes with tears as well. He thinks to himself:

“Those were tears?”

Alejandro stands up and slowly walks towards the Chupacabras; “So you were doing this without your free will right?” The Chupacabras looks at him. Alejandro continues to speak; “I´m sorry for your family, I misjudged you, you are not a monster but a living being. Forgive me”

The Chupacabras slowly tries to speak saying; “Please…forgive…me…”

At that moment a portal opens below them sucking the Chupacabras into the portal. Uriel and the others see a shadow above. Alejandro looks up to see the same man he saw in the memories of the Chupacabras:

“Greetings Charro Negro, My name is El Muerto”
