May 1st, Four Years Ago; Jungle of Jalisco

Located in the middle of the Jungle of Jalisco,when it’s summer, the heat and humidity make it impossible to live there, however this place is rich in mana and it makes it a perfect place for training.

“Here catch, muchacho,” Juan tells Uriel (age 12) as he throws a ring to him. The ring is silver with a red jewel in the middle. Uriel sees the ring with a suspicious face and says:

“What am I supposed to do with this?”

“Eat it you dumbass, I can´t believe that you are about to graduate from high school at the age of 12, but you’re still so naive”

Juan de la Trinidad says while laughing making Uriel frown at him and say:

“Well I only ask you because you are weird, Viejo”

Juan de la Trinidad is a tall man with brown skin and black hair, he has a mustache and wears a charro suit.

“Just put it on Uriel, it’s been 1 year since I gave you my powers, and they have been increasing and dispersing throughout your body and around the area.”

Juan points at the air and grabs a red and purple aura. Uriel concentrates in order to see but can´t. He closes his eyes and rubs them. He opens them again and sees the huge crimson of purple colored aura surrounding the area.

Uriel looks surprised and asks: “Is this my power?”

“It sure is, however, it's attracting too much attention. Haven't you noticed the nuns who have been acting strange lately?”

Juan asks Uriel while rubbing his head. Uriel tries to think back about all the time that he passed next to the nuns, they would avoid him. Uriel crosses his arms and says:

“Well that explains many things”

Uriel puts the ring on his right index finger. The aura surrounding him begins to be absorbed by the ring. Soon the aura was completely inside the ring.

“You see muchacho, that ring helps you concentrate your power inside your body alone. The ring is called “Anillo del Jinete” (Translates: Ring of the Horseman), this is a ring that has belonged to El Charro Negro for generations. My friend “ Isabella” took the liberty of creating one for you by extracting a piece of mine. When the time comes, the two rings will become one once again.”

Uriel looks at it with surprise, he looks at the ring thinking; “So, Isabella did this huh?”

“Now I will show you how to release that power and assume your “Charro” form, ready?” Juan finishes explaining and begins to step back.

“Hey muchacho do you remember watching a T.V. program of some colored “Super Rangers” doing some weird poses to transform?”

Juan asks Uriel who has a clueless face and replies; “Yes I remember but what does it have to do with our training?”

“Well you see, those poses were actually copied from me. In order to transform you must copy my poses, got it?”

Juan says to Uriel as he bends his knees leaving Uriel surprised.

“Here goes be prepared” Juan says to Uriel as stands up straight.

“YO SOY EL JINETE! HAAAA” (Translates: I am the Horseman) Juan extends his arms with his index fingers pointing to the left and lifting his right knee.

“YO SOY EL INCIO, YO SOY EL FINAL!HAAA” (Translates: I am beginning, I am the end) Juan changes the arm positions to the right and the left knee.

“YO SOY EL CHARRO NEGRO!HAAAAAA” (Translates: I am “El Charro Negro”)

“ACTIVATE: SUPER CHARRO RANGER! HAAA” Juan makes a couple of spins and finishes with his legs spread and his arm opens looking in the sky. Juan’s ring begins to shine and flames begin to cover his body. Juan’s changes into a black colored Mariachi suit.

Uriel looks at him with disgust thinking; “Am I really going to do that?”

Juan looks at Uriel, points at him and says: “Now it’s your turn, muchacho. You need to copy all my movements and words in order to work.”

Uriel’s face turns red with embarrassment and replies: “Do I really need to do that?”

Juan nods at him with a smile and his eyes close. Uriel closes his eyes thinking: “I need to do it, here goes nothing”

Uriel copies the movements and words from Juan earlier interpretation:

“YO SOY EL JINETE! HAAAA” (Translates: I am the Horseman) Uriel extends his arms with his index fingers pointing to the left and lifting his right knee.

“YO SOY EL INCIO, YO SOY EL FINAL!HAAA” (Translates: I am beginning, I am the end) Uriel changes the arm positions to the right and the left knee.

“YO SOY EL CHARRO NEGRO!HAAAAAA” (Translates: I am “El Charro Negro”)

“ACTIVATE: SUPER CHARRO RANGER! HAAA” Uriel makes a couple of spins and finishes with his legs spread, and arms open looking in the sky.

With his face all red and his eyes closed Uriel realizes that nothing happens to him. He lowers his arms and looks at Juan with disappointment.

Juan bursts into laughter; “I can’t believe you really did it, you are such a naïve person... Did you get it on tape, mi florecita?” (Translates: My little flower.)

Juan looks at the top of a tree and sees a girl who is standing there. She jumps off the tree and lands in the middle of the guys. The girl stands looks at Uriel with a glare, she is holding a camera and makes a “sinister” laugh and says:

“Yes, I got it all father”

“What are you doing here Alexa?” Uriel with a red face says to Alexa. Alexa ignores him and gives the camera to Juan and steps back saying:

“This guy is an idiot father, you should have given your powers to me. I can easily be the best “Charro Negro”, but you gave it to him.”

Juan leans over and grabs her shoulder and whispers: “Calm down mija, I know but you must be patient. In a couple of years there will be a “Crimson Moon” and then I will decide who’s my true successor.”

Alexa de la Trinidad (Age 12), is the adopted child of Juan de la Trinidad. She has light brown skin similar to Uriel. She has a slim body and a normal height. She has hazel colored hair with a ponytail in which she holds a red ribbon and short bangs that are on her left side of the face. Juan adopted her one year after the incident in the Borderland. She does not like Uriel and claims that she is the “True” Successor.

Uriel hears their conversation and thinks to himself; “I need this power to kill that man.”

While the other two were talking, Uriel closed his eyes and concentrated. He begins to imagine a flame shining in the darkness that gets bigger every second.

He begins to chant in a low tone:

“Yo soy el Jinete, Yo soy el inicio, Yo soy el final, Yo soy El Charro Negro.”

Flames of crimson and purple color begin to come out of his ring engulfing Uriel with strong wind blowing hard. Juan and Alexa get away from Uriel.

The flames turn into a giant pillar. Wind blows harder and the pillar of flames turns into a whirlpool darkening the sky.

Everyone from the city of “Tapatio” notices the pillar from a distance. The pillar vanishes leaving only smoke and dust.

“Wow that kid is crazy, are you alright?” Juan asks Alexa as they are behind a tree. Alexa with her eyes wide open is speechless to see the great power of Uriel. The smoke clears revealing Uriel in his “Charro” form.

Uriel is wearing a special charro suit, which consists of long, tight black colored pants covered with decoration on the sides. He has a long bolero coat with golden buttons and white gloves. A special pitea belt made of silk was also part of the suit with a white button shirt and a black vest. It also has a silk tie and a large round sombrero which is hanging from his neck.

Juan begins to walk towards Uriel and begins to applaud saying:

“That was excellent muchacho, You should practice transforming to make it less flashy next time. Now it’s time for the sword muchacho.”

Uriel glare at him and says:

“Shut up, Viejo.”

Alexa then sees with anger and Juan begins to laugh. Uriel lifts his arm and imagines a sword.

Flames begin to come out of his hand forming a sword covered by a black scabbard. The flames disappeared but the sword stayed in his hand.

Juan smiles and says; “Good, now let’s begin”
