February 17th; New Mexico...

The stars shine as it’s night time in a small town of New Mexico. A couple walks down a street after a date. They were enjoying the night, however, they hear a strange sound.

(PIU, PIU, PIU)

(BBBOOOMMM)

The body of a man falls to the ground causing the girl to scream. “H-H-Help me…” The man extends his arm to the couple.

The couple begins to run away. Suddenly, they see a man wearing a cowboy hat swings by and lands in front of the couple saying:

“GAME OVER”

A person points the gun at the man and fires a bullet hitting the man.

(BBOOOOMMMM)

The man explodes causing the couple to panic. The cowboys looks around and notices them:

“Oh dear, you saw me, didn't you? Well no matter, I'll give you 5 seconds to run.”

The couple begins to run, the cowboy points the gun to the sky and fires two bullets.

(BBBBOOOOMMMM)

The bullets land on the couple killing them instantly:

“Sorry but no witnesses.”

A portal opens and Darius appears saying; “Good evening Coyote I have a new job for you.” Coyote smiles and says: “Who is my target this time.”

Darius shows a picture, Coyote smiles and says:

“Well, well, so he is the one, I haven’t seen him in years…where is he?”

“Rio Grande City...the Borderland…”

“Excellent...the Ysleta Pueblo is located there…”

“Do you accept the job?”

“Sure thing, I will make it quick…”

“Well, you are the Greatest Bounty Hunter; Sundance Coyote Bill…”

Coyote lights a cigarette and replies; “Indeed I am...get ready Rio Grande City...it’s time for the hunt to begin…”

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

March 3rd, Rio Grande City Airport

Passengers of Flight 02161917….Welcome to Rio Grande City

It’s early morning...

A man with a large coat and a formal hat comes out of the plane, he has white hair and wrinkles on his face with an eyepatch on his left eye. He walks down the aisle as he approaches the exit. Suddenly, a boy playing with a car bumps into him.

“Ouch, sorry mister…”

The man looks at him, frightening the boy, he gets closer and gives him the toy car and smiles; “Don’t worry son, here keep playing with it and here, go buy yourself an ice cream with this…”

The boy smiles and stands up; “Thank you, Mister”

“No worries son, be careful!”

The boy runs away, soon, the man sighs and his expression returns to a serious one. He stands up and continues to walk towards the entrance. The man walks outside and lights a cigarette, he enjoys it as he looks at the sky; “It’s been more than 50 years since I was here...things have changed...but not in a good way…”

The man continues smoking as he looks around and finishes his cigarette; “So, I assume you are the one who is going to help me?”

Standing behind him, a figure with a black coat and a skeleton mask with a red stripe crossing its face, what’s mysterious about him is that people still walk past him without noticing him, only the man with the eyepatch; “Indeed, sorry but can we move to someplace high?”

“Very well…El Muerto”

The man with the eyepatch and El Muerto stand at one of the highest buildings of Rio Grande City...there is a high chance of rain as heavy clouds cover the sky. The wind is calm, permitting the man to light another cigarette…

“According to Darius, the target I was hired on finally decided to appear...am I right?”

“Indeed...I have been following the target throughout all of Central America...and it has been tiresome…”

“So the fires, the earthquakes and the floodings were all his doing?”

“That’s right...that man wants vengeance against the world, he is blinded by Vengeance and stole an ancient artifact...one of the Sixteen treasures...the Gem of Kukulkan…”

“The Gem of Kukulkan? So Darius had it with him all along..” He continues to smoke. El Muerto takes a few steps; “That man’s power has grown, Master Lucifugus sees him as a threat that will ruin his plan…”

“And that's why he contacted me? I don’t understand...he has you doesn’t he…”

“There is only a little that I can do...Master says that if I get involved more than necessary, there will be political problems between countries...that's why he wants you to take care of the situation…”

“Nathaniel Gonzalez, the mayor, knows about this?”

“No...that’s why the Master wants someone who isn’t involved directly with him to take care of this…”

“I see...well he did pay me so I have no choice...so you have a clue where he could be?”

“No.. I lost track when he entered the region but do not worry...I know someone who might know…”

“Who?”

“El Charro Negro…”

The man laughs and finishes his cigarette dropping it to the floor and steps on it; “ El Charro Negro ehh...Juan’s disciple is here?”

“Indeed, he lives in the Ministry of San Juan…”

“The Ministry of San Juan? So he is under the care of the Scarlet Excorcist Clemente…”

“You are correct, if you go there...you will find a clue about your target…”

“Perfect...I think I ‘m going to enjoy this mission…”

“Master Darius counts on you...do not fail him or you will face the consequences...Coyote…”

The man with great speed points a gun at El Muerto; “What’s your tone, I am the World's Greatest Bounty Hunter...remember that…”

“I apologize for my rudeness...I shall leave it to you…” El Muerto spreads black wings from his back and flies to the sky until he disappears from sight in the clouds…”

Coyote takes out his cowboy hat and smiles; “I wonder how strong your successor is, Juan...I think I shall play with him a little before I begin my mission…”
