Part 1 - Uriel´s past; Eight Years Ago
"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"
"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.
After the Tragedy where Roberto lost his life, Juan made a deal with the Di Fiore:
"Look señoras, "they" will begin to move because they know you are not dead so my proposal is to leave the region and go to where Sister Griselda is located. I need to train this boy for the future."
Maria stands up and says: "No, my son is going to have a normal life"
"Hahaha, there is no normal life in this world Maria and you saw it yesterday remember." Juan says to Maria as he leaves her speechless.
"I accept, Diablo, but only with the condition that they will live with me." Sister Griselda tells Juan with a shivering voice.
"Then it is settle, muchacho, you are the next Horseman. Do not worry I made a promise to you father that I will train you and protect you until you are ready." Juan says to Uriel who looks scared. Maria looks down depressed but she knows it is the only option.
"Fine, we will leave this city." Maria says to them as she leaves the kitchen.
Uriel and his family moved to Tapatio in Jalisco, however he had some troubles in his arrival:
"He can stay with me, in my hacienda." Juan appears from a portal causing the nuns to run with fear. Juan walks and grabs Uriel´s head, Uriel looks at him with fear and says; "No, please I don't want to…"
"Very well, he can stay with you…" Maria immediately replies causing Uriel to enter in shock. Valerie and Daniel run and hug Uriel with tears and begin to scream; "DON'T GO BROTHER, PLEASE DON'T GO!!"
Uriel looks at Maria with scorn expression and smiles patting both of them in the head; "It's okay, I need to go with him, my uncle will take care of me and I promise that I will visit you every week I promise."
"I don´t know what to sister, I lost Roberto, I still have two other children to see and to be honest, I don't think of him as my son now. He made a deal with a demon; he is now one of them, a demon that I swore to kill. I think it's best for him to go."
Uriel cries near a lake as he looks in the water thinking; "Do I have the right to be alive?"
"Of course you do, remember that you are my successor. You are my family now, and I will protect you with my life muchacho." Juan pats Uriel´s head.
The next day, Uriel says good bye to his siblings, however Maria didn't go. As they to Juan´s Mansion, Juan looks at Uriel and says:
"Hey don´t worry, remember, your mother fought demons all her life, and you are now an evil spirit, it will take some time muchacho. For the mean time, I will train you, you will go the best school in Tapatio and I will personally watch over you. I owe it to your father."
Uriel begins to sob as he says with a shaky voice; "Thank you…"
Uriel then met Alexa:
MY NAME IS ALEXA DE LA TRINIDAD, I AM JUAN´S DAUGHTER AND I WILL CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL, URIEL I WILL BEAT YOU AND HAVE YOUR POWERS."
"Very good my flower, now that´s what I like about you; Uriel you must train hard or otherwise, Alexa will steal your powers." Juan looks at Uriel; Uriel looks down feeling depressed and angry.
"Very well, I don't even want these powers anymore, people judge me as if I was a monster, and the sister doesn't even permit me getting close to the Ministry. I don't even care, I just want a normal life, I really regret having these powers."
(SSSLLLAAAPPP)
Alexa slaps Uriel and with a furious tone she screams:
"YOU IDIOT, MY WHOLE LIFE, I LIVED UP TO BE A CHARRO BECAUSE I WANT POWER, AND YET YOU HAVE IT."
"That's right, I really regret having given you my powers, I should just have left you die that night, am I right Uriel?" Juan says as he pats Alexa´s head, Uriel feels sorrow after hearing that; he begins to walk away as he says:
"SCREW YOU, REMEMEBER I HAVE THE POWERS, AND IF I WANT, I CAN KEEP THEM. SO SCREW YOU, VIEJO"
Part 2 – Present; Uriel´s side
Alexa and Juan stand in front of Uriel, "I hope you´re ready Uriel, you promised me remember?"
-TCH- "I suppose your right; very well, let´s go somewhere else. I sense people coming to this direction.
"Very well, come with us…" Juan smiles and opens a portal. They begin to walk towards the portal and disappear.
In a space on the back where the Ministry used to be, they appear in an area surrounded by small hills. Juan stands in the middle, Uriel and Alexa stand face to face. Juan creates a giant magic circle that acts like a barrier.
"Very we shall begin with this duel, the rules are simple. The winner is decided if the opponent is incapacitated, the opponent surrenders or dies."
Uriel and Alexa shake hands and chain raps them, meaning that they can´t escape.The eight horsemen appear in red robes, they surround Uriel and Alexa. Among them, Nemesio, Scarlet and the First Horseman; Juan begins to walk backwards as he shouts:
"LET THIS DUEL BEGIN…"
Alexa lifts her right arm and begins to chant; "Mi vida es la melodia Del Mariachi, el arte es mi sangre, la tradicion es mi alma, el honor es mi mission. Cancion Del Charro" (My life is a Mariachi Melody, art is my blood, tradition is my soul and honor is my mission. Charro Song)
Blue flames come out of Alexa's ring changing her into a female version of the Mariachi attire. The suit consists in a long embroidered black skirt, reaching the ankles, a white dress shirt, chaps, serape and a red pitea belt. Her hair is a ponytail with a red ribbon; she has a long tuft on the right side of her face, and she wears a Mariachi Sombrero. She also wears the traditional black charro jacket embroidered with flower patterns. On her hip, she has sword with red gloves.
Alexa takes out her sword and makes a stance. Her sword is a cutlass. A short, broad slashing sword, with a straight or slightly curved blade sharpened on the cutting edge, and a hilt features a solid cupped guard.
"I´ve waited eight years for this moment. I devoted my entire life to this moment. I am going to finish this in one blow. Uriel is exhausted, that means this will give me an advantage."
"PREPARE YOURSELF URIEL." Alexa charges manna in her sword, she releases an enormous amount of blue manna. Uriel stands there without any expression. "Hija, are you trying to kill him?" Juan thinks as he sees Alexa close her eyes and chants; "Arte del Mariachi, Melodia de la Guitarra, Sexta Cuerda MI (E)" (Mariachi Art, Guitar Melody, Sixth String E)
(SSSLLLAASSHHH)
Alexa swings her sword with force. Suddenly, she creates blue strings that form a flower. The strings cut the ground with ease and head towards Uriel. "These are my strongest strings, there is no way Uriel can cut them, he´s going to evade them by jumping, that´s where I´m going to finish him." Alexa makes a confident smile.
Uriel closes his eyes and begins to think; "Listen son, you must not lose to Alexa, the power you have may be evil but you can use them for doing good in this world. You must win no matter what…"
Uriel slowly lifts his sword and says; "I´m sorry Alexa, I wanted you to have these powers at first but…"
Uriel transforms into his Charro of War mode. His appearance also changes, his hair gets crimson, his eyes have cracks around them, his corneas are black and his pupils have triangles pointing down with red color surrounding them. His sword is black with a red line in the center and lines in the shape of veins on the sides.
"Arte del Jinete; Cancion de la Luna, Cuarta Estrofa, Cuarto Menguante" (Horseman Art, Moon Song, Fourth Stanza, Crescent Moon Downward.)
(SSSLLLAASSHHH)
Uriel swings his sword downward cutting the strings in an instant. "AAALLLEEEXXAAA" Juan screams, Alexa is in shock and doesn't move. The attack continues and passes right next to her destroying the small hill into pieces.
(BBBBOOOMMM)
Only a trail of dust cloud remains, Uriel with great speed uses the opportunity and charges at Alexa pointing his sword at her. Juan runs towards them, the first Horseman stands in front of him saying; "The Duel isn't over, stay where you at…"
The dust cloud clears with Uriel in a position ready to kill Alexa. He points his sword at Alexa´s neck. "Give up now, I don't want to kill you."
"ARE YOU CRAZY, I WILL NEVER GIVE…"
Alexa gazes on Uriel´s eyes, she begins to feel his killing intent as she thinks; "Those eyes are filled with rage and hatred, but they are not for me, but for someone else."
(SSHHIIINNNGGG)
Alexa is feeling frustrated, she let´s go of her sword, tears come out as she says with a shaky voice; "I-I-I GIVE UP…URIEL, YOU WIN!"
"THE DUEL IS DECIDED, URIEL DI FIORE WINS."
Uriel puts away his sword as he speaks; "I´m sorry, I know that you devoted you´re life into being the successor but I need these powers to beat Aleister. That´s my purpose in life now; I don't wish for you to understand now, but I want you to know that for me you are already strong enough even without my powers."
Alexa blushes and looks away saying; "Shut up you idiot, I still hate you."
Uriel turns back to normal as he replies; "I know"
(CLAP, CLAP, CLAP)
Juan claps as he walks towards them; "Very good muchacho, I knew you were the true successor. You accessed the power of the Horseman by cheer will and managed to defeat her."
-TCH- Uriel walks away with rage, Juan hugs a crying Alexa as he says; "You did well my daughter, but Uriel was stronger. Uriel, now that you…"
"SHUT UP OLD MAN, THIS DUEL ISNT OVER YET…" Uriel says as he takes his cloak off, he makes his gloves disappear. He rolls up his sleeves and screams:
"JUAN DE LA TRINIDAD, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!"
Juan smiles, he takes of his Mariachi vest. He slowly rolls up his sleeves and walks forward:
"Very well, I accept your challenge, muchacho!"
Part 3- Maria´s side
Maria and the others arrived at the altar. "What happened here? Where is the city?" Griselda makes a question, Magdalena looks around and replies:
"I don't know but the traces of manna indicate that there was someone even above a Saint level here…"
"Are you sure sister, that sounds like something unreal" Alondra says with a face full of doubt.
"I manage to find Uriel!" Daniel says as he looks at his device, "Where is he Daniel?" Maria asks with a worried look. "He´s located in the hills behind the ministry, and his not alone." Daniel replies with a nervous expression.
Maria makes two wings appear in her back and begins to fly towards Uriel´s direction. "MAMA WAIT! SHEEESH" Valerie says as everyone gets to the vehicles.
Maria flies towards the hills as she says; "URIEL, WAIT FOR ME, I WILL HELP YOU!"
