《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 44: El Charro Negro vs. The Chupacabras
Advertisement
5 Minutes before Katsumi’s attack.
(RRRAAAWWWW)
The Chupacabras flies around the building grabbing Uriel’s head. The monster begins to fly closer to the building, crashing Uriel’s head into the glass.
(CRAAASSSSHHH)
The Chupacabras drags Uriel all around the building. The Chupacabras throw Uriel with great force towards a police car.
(BOOOOOMM, CRASSSSHHHHH)
“Ouch that hurt!” Uriel rubs his head covered in blood; “I guess this thing really wants to die tonight!”
People gather around Uriel with curiosity, filming the scene and taking pictures with their smartphones. Uriel sighs; “These guys, wanting viewership for social media will get them killed.” He notices the monster heading down and begins to scream:
“RUUUUUNNNN AAAAWAAAY!!!! YOU IDIOTSS!!!!!!”
(BOOOOOOMMM)
The monster lands in front of the people blowing them away with his wings and roars once again paralyzing everyone.
The monster attacks a couple of people, sucking their blood and disappearing. Everyone begins to panic. Uriel stands up once again and runs towards the Chupacabras. He makes his sword appear again and chants:
“Arte del Mariachi: Cancion de la Luna, Tercera Estrofa: Media Luna” (Translates: Mariachi Art: Song of the Moon, Third Stanza: Half Moon)
Uriel’s sword shines in a platinum color as he slashes the monster horizontally materializing the form of a half moon. However at that moment, a specter appears and receives the attack instead of the Chupacabras.
(SSSSLLLLAAAAASSSSHHH)
“What is this?” Uriel says as he looks up and notices countless specters in the air charging towards him. The Chupacabras elevates into the air trying to escape. Uriel dodges the specters as they attack one by one. He jumps into the air and chants:
“Viento Multiple” (Translates: Multiple Wind).
Wind steps form to aid Uriel as he jumps into the air. Uriel jumps one by one at high speed in order to catch the Chupacabras. Lightning begins to come down. Soon, rain begins to pour, making Uriel’s wind unstable.

Uriel steps on the last one and chants; “Impulso del Viento” (Translates: Wind Impulse)
A bigger vortex forms forcing Uriel to jump higher and stabs the monster right wing. Both of them fall to an abandoned building two blocks away from the restaurant.
(BOOOOOOMMMM, RRRAAAAAAAWWWW)
The monster releases mana in the form of shockwaves. The attack blinds Uriel, Uriel can’t hear or see.
The building has the ceiling falling down, no electricity meaning that it is completely dark around. Uriel lands on the floor and begins to look around looking for the monster. The Chupacabras makes its presence disappear.
(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)
Rain falls heavy, with lightning touching the ground, meaning that it is freezing.
(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)
Uriel only hears his heartbeat. He is bleeding from his head and one of his arms. He breathes heavily as he holds his sword tight.
(RRRRRAAAAWWW)
(SSSSLLLAASSHHH)
The Chupacabras flies from the roof and attacks Uriel. Uriel blocks the attack with his sword. The monster flies at great speed making it hard to observe.
It attacks continuously, Uriel tries his best to block it, however the ground below him breaks.
(CCCRRAAASSHHH)
Uriel stands up and gets his guard up once again; “This is not good, I’m losing control, come on I must be strong or I’ll die.”
(SSSLLLLAAASSHHHH)
The monster continues to attack him, Uriel knows that he is wasting time because his comrades are also under attack by monsters known as Sombras.
“Breathe, Breathe, Focus, Focus, come on FOCUS!!!”
Uriel thinks to himself as he tries to concentrate. The monster flies down once again, Uriel turns trying to cut him.
(BBBBBBOOOOOMMMM)
An explosion causes the floor to collapse once again. Blood splashes in the wall and on the floor. Lightning falls illuminating the room. Drops of water pour down to Uriel as rain showers the city and lightning comes down every minute.

(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)
“Remember the chord sequences that Juan taught you in the guitar and apply it into battle, that way you will predict the enemy’s movements and find a way to counter attack.”
“Damn it...why do I have to remember that girl…”
Uriel begins to hear the Chupacabras’ rhythm. For instance, a flames moves around the room noticeable to Uriel’s eyes. The flame begins to float in the air. Uriel notices and smiles:
“I found you monster”
The Chupacabras slowly floats behind Uriel and charges at him. Uriel begins to whisper:
“Arte del Mariachi: Cancion de la Luna, Cuarta Estrofa: Cuarto Menguante” (Translates: Mariachi Art: Song of the Moon, Fourth Stanza: Quarter moon descend”
Uriel turns around with his eyes closed and lifts his sword, cutting it downward forming the shape of a crescent moon with a platinum aura.
(SWWWWIIINNNGGG)
(RRRRAAAAWWWW)
The Chupacabras roars as Uriel slashes its arm off. The arm falls and disappears.
The Chupacabras flies away from Uriel, it goes outside at high speed going to the sky.
Uriel begins to follow the beast, at that moment a giant pillar of orange light illuminates the city causing the clouds of rain to disappear in a small circle.
Uriel slowly heals himself thanks to the Charro abilities. Uriel runs outside and tries to communicate to Kasumi :
“Hey are you okay? Kasumi, what was that light?”
A few moments pass and Uriel keeps on trying to communicate. Meanwhile the beast flies in circles trying to heal itself.
“Uriel I’m okay don’t worry, the people are safe, well most of them, everybody left the building... I’m trying to get back my energy” Kasumi responds to Uriel, he smiles and responds:
“Stay where you are Katusmi and put a barrier, I’m going to finish this right now.”
Kasumi puts a small barrier and looks at the sky thinking; “What will you do Uriel?”
Uriel jumps into the air and creates a vortex of wind once again. He stands in a position where the moon is behind him. Soon portals begin to appear and specters come out charging at Uriel. Uriel takes a deep breath and remembers Juan’s voice:
“Listen Muchacho, the attacks that you make are stronger when you make them in front of the element used.”
Uriel moves his arm and spins the sword making the shape of the moon. The light of the moon reflects the sword shining its light. The sword shines brighter and Uriel begins to chant:
“Arte del Mariachi: Canción de la Luna, Quinta Estrofa: Luna LLENA” (Translates: Mariachi Art: Song of the Moon, Fifth Stanza: Full Moon)
(SSSWWWWIIIIINNNNGGGG)
Uriel swings the sword with force. The slash forms a great cylinder similar to a great ray of light that makes the specters disappear. The attack reaches the Chupacabras forcing it through the restaurant. The light is so bright that everyone in the city notices the attack.
(BOOOOOMMMM)
Half of the building disappears by the attack in an instant, leaving only a clean cut.
“What was that?”Alejandro asks Kasumi. Kasumi looks at the sky with shock:
“That was the power of the Charro Negro.”
It was at that moment that everyone was witness of the terrifying and true power of "El Charro Negro"

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
