Chapter 8 - Vol. 1 - Chapter 7: Passing of the Crest

"AHHHHH!"

(puuum,puuuum. baaang)

"Shoot him, don´t let him through, we need backup, AHHH!"

Those were the words that the guards were screaming outside Uriel's door. Uriel can only hear parts of what they say as he is barely conscious. Suddenly there was silence. Uriel could only hear his breathing and his heart beat weakening. When he is about to faint, there is a huge explosion on the door. The door is blown away and a silhouette appears in front of Uriel. Uriel sees a man with red eyes glowing. Uriel tries to get away crawling with the little strength he has left, but the man begins to laugh and says:

"HAHAHA,"

"Where are you going muchacho, I am no bad guy. I came to rescue you and your families so don't worry." The man says with a smile on his face but Uriel does not believe what he says, however he is very weak to move and asks the man:

"Why? I don´t even know you, do you know my dad?" Uriel asks the man and he replies:

"Yes, I know him. Now I will free you muchacho"

The man pulls his sword out causing Uriel to close his eyes. The man lifts the sword and makes a swing. He immediately cuts Uriel's ropes off freeing him.

"There you see muchacho, don´t be a scaredy cat." The man laughs at Uriel and he changes his expression to a more serious face and says:

"Muchacho do you want to be strong, Do you want power, Do you want to save your family?" The man asks Uriel causing him to have a suspicious face.

"Right now you are weak, but you have potential. You are my successor and I need to pass this power down, so what do you say?" The man asks Uriel as he stretches his arm to him.

Uriel sees in a puddle of water his beat-up face. He feels pain in his body and feels frustration. He felt when the man in skull mask was hitting him. This made Uriel furious and thought about Valerie. Uriel faces up and tells the man:

"I agree, but you need to help me save my sister"

The man smiles and replies: "Very well Muchacho, but there is no turning back okay"

The man brings out a knife and makes a cut in his right hand, and then grabs Uriel´s right hand and cuts his as well and grabs his hand with both uniting the blood and the man begins to chant in latin:

"Et faciet foedus, vincula non conteram Fatum meum tuum est imperium, et virtus mea"

(Translates: I make a pact, the chains of fate will not break, my power is yours, and your power is mine)

At that moment rain starts to pour down none stop. The lightning flashes at the base, and at their feet a large red magic circle forms with the words: Bellum,Sanguis, Foedus, Equitem

(Translates: War, Blood, Pact, Horseman)

In the middle of the circle the symbol of flames appears, suddenly chains appear from the four points and slowly begin to wrap their hands. The right side of the man´s faces turns into a skull, and the right side of Uriel´s face turns into a skull as well. The man says to Uriel:

"Prepare yourself muchacho; this is going to hurt"

He grabs Uriel´s hands harder and begins to chant:

"Mitto ad te his summis"

(Translates: I pass this crest to you)

The circle begins to shine brighter. The symbol of a flame in the right foreman of the man begins to spread red veins that go down in to Uriel´s foreman.

"AHHHHH" Uriel screams in pain causing him to kneel down and cry in suffering

"Bare with me muchacho it´s almost over." The man screams at Uriel as he does not let go of his hand. The man chants one last time:

"Et beneficium Tuum fatum finem huius"

(Tanslates: I end this ritual of fate)

The ritual was completed. The man lets go of Uriel´s hand and their faces turn back to normal. Uriel sees his foreman and the symbol of a flame appears as well. His eyes turned red with the corneas black as well. Uriel breathes heavily and the man begins to laugh:

"HAHAHA, it is done muchacho, you are now my successor. Bienvenido a la familia, I am El CHARRO NEGRO but you may call me Juan de la Trinidad." The man says with a great smile causing Uriel to open his eyes wide because he does not believe what happened. The famous folk tale of "El Charro Negro" was real.

"I´ll skip the details for another time, right now let's save your sister and family that are captive as well." Juan says to Uriel who changes his face with a more serious expression, he then says: "Let´s go!"

Part 2- Military Base building "B"

Uriel and Juan de la Trinidad run into Building "B" where Valerie, Daniel and his mother where captive. They run into the hallway and hear a loud scream:

"AHHHH, HELP ME PLEASE!"

Uriel recognizes Valerie´s voice and ran faster to the door. Juan slices the door in half. When the door was destroyed, they saw a guard touching Valerie´s legs, and licking her face trying to rape her. Uriel made a fist and with great fury he said "Get your hands off her."

"Hey muchacho you should watch your strength, you don´t want to set the al-"

Juan was trying to warn Uriel, but Uriel with a great speed punched the guard in the face causing him to pass through the wall going through the room where the other guards were. Uriel lost sensitivity of his right arm because of the force he used, and lost his strength.

"Damn it I can´t move" Uriel said while he was lying down.

"HAHAHA, you need to listen to me muchacho but leave this to me okay"

Juan pulls his gun and shoots with great speed to the guards and he killed all of the guards including the one that Uriel punched. He unties Valerie and says:

"This is bad, she was not raped for our luck but they did touch, she might get traumatized but don't worry." Juan says as he touches Valerie´s forehead and chants:

"Memoria Perdida"

This causes Valerie to forget about her horrifying experience with the guards. She opens her eyes and sees Uriel who got his strength back, and his eyes were back to normal. She quickly runs and hugs Uriel and says:

"Uriel, big brother, thank goodness you are okay."

"I´m glad you are alright Valerie thank you for being brave." Uriel says it while he hugs her tightly. He looks at Juan and says to him: "Thank You"

"Don't thank me yet muchacho, we still need to take your brother and your mother, remember." Uriel stands up and holds Valerie´s hand and says:

"Be brave , hermana." in which Valerie nods saying : "I will"

Part 3- Building "B" second floor.

(SLAAASSHHH)

Juan de la Trinidad slashed the door open where Uriel and Valerie´s mom and Daniel were. In the room Maria was unconscious and tied to a chair. Daniel was in a bed sick of fever. Juan untied Maria who fell to the ground. He tells Uriel:

"You got 5 minutes to talk to your mother okay I´m going to take care of the other guards."

Juan leaves the room. After he leaves, gun shots are heard with explosions:

(puuum, puuuum, puuuum)

"Mom, Mom wake up please" Uriel and Valerie yell to their mother trying to wake her up.

Maria slowly opens her eyes to see her children. She quickly gets up and hugs them, she them begins to cry saying:

"Forgive me, please, forgive me, it´s my entire fault my children. I am sorry."

"Don´t worry mama, we are okay." Valerie says as she hugs her. Maria feels a sting in her arm coming from Uriel´s side. She sees Uriel and notices Uriel´s eyes.

A guard appears with a gun and yells: "Nobody move"

At that moment he gets stab from behind, causing an instant death. It was "El Charro Negro" who came to the room saying: "Time´s up muchacho, let´s go"

Maria puts a frightening face and with a shivering voice as she says:

"Y-Y-You, why are you here?"

Maria looks at Uriel´s forearm and sees the flame symbol. She begins to cry and says: "WHY, WHY DID YOU WHY?

"I´m sorry Mama I had no choice I needed to save you." Uriel says to his mom with a determined face.

(cough,cough,cough)

Daniel was coughing intensely. Valerie goes to him and hugs him saying: "Please don´t die brother."

Juan touches Daniel´s forehead and says "I can stable him if you want."

Maria grabs Daniel and says: "Don´t touch him you demon."

"HAHAHA, Demons are useless compare to me." Juan says it by walking away and says:

"If you want him to die just let him be, he won't last until morning"

Maria looks at Valerie and Uriel making her to decide for Juan´s help.

Juan puts his hand in Daniel´s forehead and says: "Curacion" A small yellow light comes from his forehead lowering his fever and making him wake up.

"Where Am I?" Daniel asks Maria who is crying of joy and says:"Don't worry hijo rest okay"

Maria touches his chest causing him to sleep. The five of them leave the building and run for the exit. Juan"El Charro" runs in front taking down the guards that appear. Uriel runs holding Valerie´s hand and Maria carries Daniel in her back. As they are about to leave a huge explosion destroys the main building causing the place to be on fire. This leaves Uriel and his family shocked.
