Rio Grande City...

Uriel cuts the building in half with all of his power.However, the Chupacabras still lives and come out of the smoke screen...

The monster has half of his body missing as the Chupacabras slowly flies to the building.

"Oh no...what will happen to the "Ales"?" The hooded girl looks to her right but El Muerto is missing.

“Where did he go...I need to help the Ales…" The girl heads towards the restaurant.

“What was that attack just now, just how strong is Uriel?” Kasumi thinks as she, along with the others, heads towards Uriel's location.

"That guy sure is powerful, my spirits told me that he almost surpassed them at full potential." Tiwa explains to the others as they run.

Jairo: Both of them landed in a building next to you...hurry...they are at the ceiling

Alejandro feels weird as he runs; "Something is wrong...What are these visions?"

At the rooftop of a building...

Uriel notices the Chupacabras and uses the wind to gain speed catching up with the monster. He stabs the Chupacabra with his sword and both of them fall to the ceiling of the building next to where the restaurant was.

(BBBBOOOOOOMMMMM)

"Over there…." Everyone heads to Uriel's direction.

Uriel stands in front of the Chupacabras. The Chupacabras lays on the ground as he admits defeat.

"I...give...up...kill...me…"

"Kill you...oh...I will...but first, I'm going to make you atone for your sins."

Uriel makes a sinister smile, his eyes turning red as he slowly walks towards the Chupacabras. He drags the sword on the ground creating sparks.

"You killed more than a thousand people, now you will receive more than a thousand stabs before I kill you."

(SSSLLLLAASSSHHHH)

As they climb the stairs to reach Uriel, Alejandro stops as he breathes heavily.

"What's going on...what are these images…"

"Alejandro, what's wrong?" Tiwa holds him, Alejandro passes out.

"ALEJANDRO!!"

Alejandro slowly walks in a dark space. The place is so dark that he can see if he's going in the right direction.

“Where am I?” Alejandro asks himself as he continues to walk aimlessly.

Suddenly a small light appears and grows bigger and brighter. Alejandro covers his eyes. Alejandro rubs his eyes and sees a jungle, there are trees as tall as he could see, many vines hanging in the jungle. Alejandro walks and hears a roar:

(RAAAAWWW)

“Could that be the Chupacabras?” Alejandro asks himself as he runs towards the sound.

When he arrives he sees many Chupacabras corpses lying in the ground. Alejandro feels sick and throws up because of the scene.

He raises his head and sees a man in a black hood with a skeleton mask shooting at the Chupacabras flying away instantly killing all but one.

One of them heads towards Alejandro. Alejandro covers himself but the monster passes through him. The man kills the monster. Alejandro sees the bullet pass right through him as well and asks to himself:

“Is this a memory, or an illusion created by the Chupacabras?”

There is only one monster left and he is wounded on the ground. The man slowly walks towards the Chupacabras and points the gun at him and says:

“I killed your mate, your sons and everybody you know. I will continue to extinguish you, filthy creatures unless you do what I say. How about it, you trash?”

The monster roars and attacks the man, however a portal opens behind the Chupacabras and Specter hands pin the Chupacabras to the ground.

The man shoots the monster on the leg causing it to roar. The man once again says:

“You work under me now, your life is mine, you will die the moment I tell you to.”

He lets go of the monster, the monster immediately crawls to what appears to be 3 Chupacabras in the ground, and he grabs them and hugs the three of them.

One female and two little males, at that moment tears come out of the monster. Alejandro tries to walk towards them but the images begin to disappear of his mind.

“WAAAIIITTT!!!!” Alejandro screams as everything goes dark.

******************************************************************************

Alejandro wakes up, he notices everyone is worried.

"Alejandro, are you alright?"

Alejandro stands up thinking; "What was that dream?"

Alejandro runs towards the ceiling as he thinks; "Something is wrong...I must stop Uriel before he kills the monster…"

Alejandro opens the door, everyone arrives at the ceiling. Everyone opens their eyes wider as they see a puddle of blood.

(SLASH SLASH SLASH)

Uriel continues to stab the monster one time after the other.

"That's one hundred...900 left to go…"

The Chupacabras agonizes in pain. Alejandro runs towards Uriel screaming:

"URIEL STOP!"

Uriel stops before stabbing the monster again. He turns around and glares at Alejandro:

"Why are you stopping me? I am delivering punishment to the monster…"

Alejandro with tears in his eyes replies; "Listen...I saw the Chupacabras' memories...he was forced to kill...because…"

"So what?" Uriel puts on a furious face.

Everyone is left speechless, Kasumi looks at Uriel frightened as she thinks; "Uriel...you're scaring me…"

Uriel continues to speak; "Even if it was an order, this monster killed thousands of people...thousands of children...men and women...do you think he deserves mercy?"

"No…but…"

"If I hadn't stopped him when he was about to attack you and Marjorie...you would have been dead…"

-TCH- Alejandro doesn't say anything. Uriel turns to see the Chupacabras:

"You don't deserve mercy…"

"SSSTTOOPPP" Alejandro runs and grabs Uriel's arm. Uriel, filled with rage, punches Alejandro.

(PPPUUMMM)

"AALLEJJJANDROO" Tiwa screams with fear.

(PUM PUM PUM)

Uriel begins to punch Alejandro multiple times; " Are you stupid? That thing is going to kill you...stop being the good guy...if you continue to be like that...you're going to die."

"Uriel, please stop…" Tiwa runs and hugs Alejandro, Uriel stops punching him.

Kasumi walks towards Uriel.

(SSLLLAAPP)

Kasumi slaps Uriel; "That's enough...you're not acting like yourself…"

Uriel chuckles, he begins to walk away and looks at the moon.

"You're wrong...you see, this is my true nature...I believe that you people have the wrong impression about me…"

Uriel turns around and sees all of them; "You see, I am not the good guy...no...I am the one that serves as the collector of souls...I am the figure that everyone fears...I am El Charro Negro...don't you forget that…"

The moon shines down making his red eyes glow. Alejandro returns his senses and tears come out of his eyes as he sees the monster's eyes with tears as well. He thinks to himself:

“What was that, did I see his heart and memories?”

“So you were doing this without your free will right?” Alejandro says to the monster, the Chupacabras looks at him. Alejandro continues to speak:

“I´m sorry for your family, I misjudged you, you are not a monster but a living being. Forgive me”

The Chupacabras slowly tries to speak saying; “I-I-I forgive y…..”

At that moment a portal opens below them sucking the Chupacabras into the portal. Uriel and the others see a shadow above. Alejandro looks up to see the same man he saw in the memories of the Chupacabras.

“Greetings Charro Negro, My name is El Muerto”
