As he walks down the hills he begins to remember when he was a child running with a kid with blue hair, they were wearing their Space Rangers customs and pretended to fight with swords.
Alejandro arrives at his base, the base appears to be brand new, Alejandro has been taking care of it for five years. He enters the base, the base has electricity thanks to a small windmill that he built.
Alejandro heads to a corner of the hideout. In that corner, there is a small hole. Alejandro removes a carpet, and he grabs a treasure box. The treasure box is made of plastic that has a lock, Alejandro slowly opens the box and there is a piece of red clothing.
“It’s been 5 years since I found this...and yet, ever since that strange glow, I haven't figured what it's for...”
Alejandro stares at it for a couple of minutes, he later gets sleepy and puts the key next to him and closes his eyes as he thinks: “Well, tomorrow will be another day...” (BADUMP,BADUMP)
Suddenly, the key begins to pulse slowly like a heart beat...and it begins to shine bright in Alejandro’s hand...

Izamal, Yucatán
During the same time, a different event was happening in the south part of Mexico. In the Peninsula of Yucatan, there is a colorful town near the seaside known as Izamal. In this peaceful town, people live normally during the day, children play at the beaches or the jungles nearby. Everything is happiness during the day, however at night there is a different story….
Every day when the sun sets…..
(RING RING RING RING)
"HURRY EVERYONE, YOU MUST GET INTO YOUR HOUSES NOW!!!" A priest shouts at the church of the town, people with great speed begin to put away their stuff. The shops close, people hurry into their houses.
"Hurry sister, we need to go where mom is…"
A boy around 8 years old runs holding his sister's hand. Her sister appears to be 6 years old and she is feeling pain:

"Hermano, stop, you're hurting me…" The girl trips and falls to the ground; "Waaahh!"
The girl cries holding her knee, the boy runs back. "Hurry Hermana, I'll carry you, our house is just two blocks away, we must hurry!!!"
There is a reason why people panic, everynight, Izamal falls prey to a strange being that appears and kidnaps those who are outside. It all happened three months ago when "it" appeared…
“EL DIABLO, EL DIABLO!!!”
Men scream as they call the monster that hunts at night. A mother waits at the door as she sees the sun disappearing at the horizon.
"My children, they haven't come back, I must.."
"No stop, or you'll get caught…" An old man stops her from leaving the house. The woman struggles as she cries for her children.
"MAMA" The two children approach the house with speed.The woman smiles and screams:
"Hurry…"
Suddenly, from the shadows, something comes out and grabs the girl pushing away the boy.
"HERMANOOOOOO!!!!'
The girl screams as she is being taken away from that being…
"NNNNNOOOOO!" The woman screams as she sees her daughter disappear in the shadows, the boy gets up and with courage decides to go after them…
The mother also tries to go but she is stopped by the man who says; "Wait hija, you'll get caught as well, I'll go…", The old man decides to head after the children...
Meanwhile, at the top of the hill, as the moon shines in the sky, a dark silhouette looks at the town, he is mounted on a black horse with red eyes.
The silhouette appears to be a young man wearing a charro outfit, the charro hat covers his face.
"Heh...So it finally appear ehh...let's go Trueno (Thunder)"
The horse begins to gallop towards the town at high speed.
"Ha...ha...ha...Hermana!!!" The boy runs around the town screaming for her sister. There is no one outside,everyone is looking at their windows feeling worthless as they see the child pass by.

"HERMANOOO!!!!!GYYYAAHHHH!!!"
“HERMANA!!!!”
The boy follows her sister's voice, her screaming gets closer. He enters a dark alley between the houses as he asks himself:
“This is where the scream came, but where is she....”
(BBBBBBOOOOMMMM)
Something landed behind the boy, a creature large enough to create a large shadow behind the boy. The boy begins to tremble as he hears a growl. The boy slowly turns around and sees a large beast behind him.
The beast is in four legs, has a large body similar to a lion, and a coyote face with a bird’s beak. The beast has arms coming out of his back and a tail. The beast is black with yellow rhombus patterns surrounding its body.
(RRRRRAAAWWWWW)
The beast roars causing the boy to fall on his butt and cry.
“NO STAY AWAY, PLEASE......”
The boy begins to move back, the beast moves down a little, the boy is in shock to see his sister in that beast’s arm.
(RRAAAWWW)
The beast roars once again and charges straight at the boy, the boy runs as fast as he can and dodges the beast. The beast continues to pursue the boy destroying the parts of the houses.
(BOOMMMM)
“Over there, we must hurry!” The grandfather along with the mother head towards the commotion, they have a shovel and a broom. The boy arrives at main where he screams:
“HELP, SOMEONE HELP!”
People only look at their houses as they become frightened seeing the beast. The boy trips and the beast jumps to attack him. The boy reacts and dodges the beast.
(BOOOMMM)
The boy looks at his sister, she is unconscious with tears in her eyes. The boy feels weak, however, he makes up his mind and stops shaking. He grabs a rock and a stick and stands up.
“DIABLO, GIVE BACK MY SISTER!!”
The boy throws a rock at the beast causing it to get furious. The boy with shaking legs but a determine face charges with that stick thinking:
“I will get my sister back!”
“HIJOOO NOOOO!”
The mother screams as she sees the boy.
(BBBBOOOMMMM)
The beast with one arm attacks the boy creating a dust cloud.
Everyone is shocked to see the boy getting crushed. The mother falls to her knees thinking that her son is dead.
As the dust cloud clears, the beast lifts its arm, however,the boy wasn't there. Everyone begins to look for him, the beast begins to charge at the people.
(RRRRRAAAWWW)
But it suddenly stops and looks up. Soon everybody looks up as they are in shock to see a person on the top of the cathedral.
"HIIIJOOOO" The mother screams, the moon makes a shadow of what it appears to be a person with a charro sombrero.
The boy slowly opens his eyes, regaining consciousness.
"That was brave of you niño but pretty stupid."
The boy looks up and sees a pair of red eyes. The moon reveals the face of a young man. The young man says with a serious face:
"Look, it's good to be brave but if you're weak, you'll get killed. You need to be strong enough to back up those words."
"I just wanted to save my sister...sir…" The boy says with tears in his eyes.
(BOOMMMM)
Without warning, the beast attacks the two figures and runs away with the girl. The young man carrying the boy lands in front of the mother.
"I can't believe my eyes…" The old says with a surprised expression as he continues to speak:
"That Charro suit, a sombrero and that power...it's you….the one who steals souls...cursed by the devil to roam between the land of the living and the land of the dead…and said that he is here to conquer the world...El Charro Negro…"
