January 31st

“Haa...ha...ha…” A young boy slowly opens his eyes, he has his face lying on the ground, the room is empty and he only sees darkness.

“Where am I?” The boy asks himself as he tries to stand up, he slowly lifts his body but he feels something strange. He can't move his arms or legs, he looks at them and notices that he has chains.

The boy, with a frightened tone begins to say; “Why am I chain up, what's happening?”

(BAAADDUUMMPPP)

The boy feels strange, he feels extremely weak that causes him to fall once again. That night is so cold that he can see his breath, he breathes heavily as he notices a warm liquid coming out of his head.

“What's this warm feeling?” The boy looks at the ground and sees a red color liquid, suddenly he raises his body one more time and sees a puddle of blood, the boy than sees that he is bleeding from his head and his stomach.

He remembers that he was cut by someone wearing a skeleton mask. The boy begins to shake and tears come out from his eyes.

“SOMEBODY HELP ME, SOMEBODY, I DON'T WANT TO DIE! HELP!”

The boy cries as he once again falls completely to the ground feeling very weak. Tears dont stop falling as he cries with fear.

“Mama, Papa, Valerie, Daniel...where are you…”

The boy´s vision begins to get blurry as he breathes even heavier.

“Why is this happening to me, why did it have to be today...Why was I so weak that I couldn't protect my little sister…”

The boy slowly begins to close his eyes as he thinks:

“Mama, Papa, Valerie and Daniel, I am very sorry but this is the end for me…”

There is silence in the room, the boy stops breathing as his blood loss was too great. The boy begins to feel as if he is floating; “It's so warm and peaceful…”

Suddenly, everything turns red...The boy opens his eyes and sees a giant black figure. The figure is blurry and it appears to be changing its shape.

“YOU CAN'T DIE YET… YOU MUST AWAKENED...YOU ARE THE SUCCESSOR…”

The boy is left speechless as the shadowy figure expands, covering turning everything black, the boy who is really scared turns around and sees a giant skeleton face.

“HAHAHA, YOU SURE ARE WEAK, NO WONDER YOU´RE FATHER WAS DEFEATED, NOW I WILL GO AHEAD AND MAKE MY WAY TO YOUR SISTER, I BET SHE CAN HANDLE MORE THAN YOU…”

The boy opens his eyes full of determination, he begins to crawl towards the door as he begins to think:

“I won't let you hurt my sister, even if I die, I will die protecting her…”

(BBBOOOMM, CCCRRRAASSSHHH)

“RUN AWAY, THAT GUY IS DANGEROUS, WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS…. AHHHHH…”

The boy hears loud noises, followed by gunshots and explosions. He stops as he wonders what was going on. The explosions get closer to him, the boy with fear of what was going on outside continues to crawl slowly as he knows that he doesn't have much time left.

(SSSSSLLLLLAASSHHHH)

Suddenly, the door collapses in half, a red-light shine in the room. A dust cloud begins to fill the room completely. The boy breathes heavily as he looks up and sees a figure approaching him. The dust cloud clears or reveals the silhouette of a man. The man is wearing a Mariachi attire with a mariachi sombrero covering his face.

The boy is frightened as he sees two red eyes looking down at him. The boy is left speechless as he coughs up blood.

“HAHAHA, DON'T TELL ME YOU ARE DYING, MUCHACHO” The man says with a joyful tone, the boy looks at him with a blurry vision as the man continues to speak.

“NOW, NOW, DON´T TELL ME THAT YOU ARE AFRAID OF ME… ANSWER ME THIS QUESTION, DO YOU WANT POWER?”

On January 31st, in the region of the Borderland, there are two cities next to each other separated by a river. People live their lives peacefully, some working, the children attending school and others passing their time watching t.v. A mysterious case was open, the Vazquez Family, composed of five members, suddenly disappeared leaving no traces. The neighbors of their house reported various explosions, when the police arrived, they were frightened to see the scenario. The whole Vazquez residence was completely destroyed, along with a couple of houses. The building was gone, with no signs of life, the investigation began with no positive results.

It is a peaceful night in the Border region, both Sun City and Rio Grande city citizens spend their evening like any other. Because it is a Friday night, countless young people decide to party. Some to the night clubs, some to the bars. Many children spend their Friday night playing with their friends playing video games or watching movies.It is a normal night in the Borderland, however, nobody was prepared for the events that were to happen...

“WOOW, LOOK GRANDPA, THE COLOR OF THE MOON…” A young boy with spiky brown hair and bottle shaped glasses points at the sky as he is looking through the window.

“Now, now Alejandro, please don't get too close to the window, remember that we are on the 10th floor.” An old man wearing glasses approaches Alejandro, he pats his head and with a smile he looks at the moon.

“So, the moon is crimson… Do you want to know a story, Alejandro?”

Alejandro Sanchez, an 11 year old boy who lives with his grandparents, he is very hyperactive and has a lot of imagination. He likes to spend his time researching the unknown mysteries of the world and hears his grandpa’s stories.

Alejandro nods in agreement with a face full of excitement. His grandpa sits:

“There is a legend about the Crimson moon.” Alejandro’s grandpa begins to tell the story:

“A long time ago, the sky had a red crimson tone that resembled the color of blood. The wind blew hard causing a whirlpool to form; the clouds spinned, taking the shape of a hurricane.”

Alejandro gets nervous as his grandpa continues to tell the story:

“The world was at the verge of being destroyed...everyone had lost hope as the catastrophe approached. When there was no hope, a figure appeared in the middle of the chaos, there was a figure that seemed to be a young man. The young man carried a sword and walked slowly towards the cliff, a huge roar sounded causing large shockwaves around the water surface. Lightning began to strike the island destroying the buildings surrounding it. In the front of the young man there was a huge silhouette of a giant monster with a pair of wings, horns and claws. ”

“Wow that's awesome, what happened next”

“The young man fought against the monster and managed to seal it away, he was known as “The Silver Hero” and he became a legend...” The grandfather says as he points at the moon and continues to speak:

“Now listen, the legend says that the “Beast” will return someday, however, I believe that the “Silver hero” will also return to stop that beast...”

Alejandro grabs an empty paper towel tube and begins to swing it:

“That was awesome grandpa, I want to meet that hero someday...”

“Haha, I´m sure you will be Alejandro, one day you will...”

“Indeed, in the meantime, Alejandro, time to eat dinner and then go to bed, tomorrow you have a fun day with your friends right?” Alejandro´s grandma gives him a plate of cookies, Alejandro nods in agreement and walks to his room; “Good night grandma,Good night grandpa, I love you...”

His grandparents wave back at him, Alejandro walks to his room thinking: “Wow, the Silver hero, I can't wait to tell Uriel about this, tomorrow when I see him...”

“Is something wrong dear?” Alejandro´s grandpa asks his wife. “Something is wrong, the manna in the air feels so dense, dear I think something horrible is approaching?” “Is that so, I felt it too, we need to be prepared, the moon is crimson, meaning a catastrophe is coming...”

Meanwhile...

“Hurry mama, papa, I want to go home...” A young girl with red hair, brown eyes and bottled glasses walks in the sector known as “Downtown.” She is with her parents as they head to their home. They are walking beneath large buildings as the cold wind blows through them.

“Victoria, please wait, you`re going to get lost.” Victoria´s mother says to her as they walk along the sidewalk. She is holding hands with her husband, Victoria stops and turns around looking at them and smiles;“Okay, I´ll wait...”

In another part of the city…

“Raul, please turn off your lights, it's almost bedtime...”

A mother shouts from the stairs to her son. “Okay mama...” The boy says as he continues to write in his computer thinking: “I must finish uploading this file about the attack on the “Vatican” before I go to sleep...”

In a large mansion...

A girl with silver hair named Marjorie and a girl with black hair known as Angela are having a sleepover...

“Okay Marjorie, who do you like the most, Uriel or Aleister?” Angela asks with a shy voice. Marjorie blushes and with a great smile she looks at Angela and replies:

“I think it's obvious that Uriel...” “Aww no fair I like him too...” Angela frowns, Marjorie puffs her cheeks and says:

“Well I saw him first....”

“I guess I will ask him tomorrow, who does he like better...”

Angela says as she also puffs her cheeks.

“Alright, let's ask him tomorrow...”

On a small hill..

In a large mansion with black gates, a young boy looks at his window. He has black hair and reddish eyes. The young boy looks at the red moon and says, “Father, how long will you keep me waiting...”

Suddenly, the boy is enveloped in a purple color aura, the windows begin to shake as the boy looks impatiently at the clock.

“So it's almost time...for the fun to begin...”

Vazquez Residency...

“What in the world happened here...” An old lady wearing a nun's attire is in a state of shock as she stands in front of a house that has been completely destroyed, the house belongs to the “Vazquez” family, however they are nowhere to be seen.

She walks inside and sees a picture. The picture features a man with bluish hair, a woman with red hair, a boy with blue hair, a girl with purple hair and a boy with reddish hair. “Maria...where did you go...”
