At the same time; 30 km West of Rio Grande City; One hour before

One hour before the events that Daniel and Mariana were involved with, another event was happening in an abandoned town located Thirty kilometers west from Rio Grande City. Uriel and Tiwa headed to the town in order to meet Coyote who took Victoria hostage…

Uriel and Estrella head there at high speed thanks to Uriel’s horse; Trueno (Thunder), a black horse with red eyes. As they head there, Uriel suddenly stops mid way. Tiwa looks confused:

“Why are we stopping, I thought we were going to save Victoria?”

“We are, but first…” Uriel gets down from Trueno and says; “I won’t be going forward unless you tell me how you know that man and why are you so scared?”

Tiwa gets embarrassed; “Uriel, we don’t have time for that? What if he tries to do something to her?”

“So, you do care about her...then start talking if you don’t want to lose more time…” Uriel says to Tiwa, Tiwa looks at Uriel’s determined eyes and sighs:

“Fine…” She calms down, gets off the horse and walks looking at the setting sun; “As you know, this is not my real body...the real Tiwa de Ysleta died almost 100 years ago…The body I am using as a vessel belongs to a girl named Emma Smith...the relative of a powerful industrial man right?”

“...” Uriel doesn't say anything, Tiwa continues to speak; “You may call it fate, but Emma is a descendant of the Tiwas...one night, three years ago, her mother gave her a medallion, in that medallion, my soul was sleeping in there. The moment she grabbed it...I woke up…”

“I see...what a coincidence…” Uriel says sarcastically. “Shut up…” Tiwa continues to explain; “The truth is that my village, the last of the proud Ysleta tribe was annihilated 100 years ago by two figures. The first was El Charro Negro…”

Tiwa looks with anger at Uriel as he comments; “I already told you it wasn’t me…”

“Yeah I know, but you are El Charro Negro, right?”

“Yeah, Yeah and who was the other…”

“The other...was the one who killed me directly…” Tiwa shakes as she remembers the moment she was killed:

"The other was Sundance "Coyote" Bill...the famous Bounty Hunter…"

Tiwa shakes, Uriel understands and walks towards her. He makes a strong clap, surprising Tiwa.

"Gyahh...what was that for?"

"You were losing it again…"

"But…"

"Listen...I understand how you feel...that feeling of anger and revenge is something we have in common...I promised that you could have your justice once I have mine, that's why we formed this alliance…"

Tiwa looks at Uriel as she calms herself down. Uriel looks at the sun:

"I remember that Viejo (Juan de la Trinidad) told me these words; “If You seek Justice, you will Purify your soul...If you seek revenge, you will poison your soul…which do you choose?”

Tiwa analyzes those words and says; "To be honest...I seek justice for my tribe...however, I don't hold any grudge against Coyote for killing me, but I do hate you…"

"I see...so why are you afraid of him?"

Tiwa gets embarrassed and answers; "My body moved on its own because I was scared...I feel ashamed…"

Uriel moves towards Trueno and replies; "Don't be..being afraid means that you are human…"

Tiwa blushes as she looks away; “Idiot…” She walks towards him and asks; “Uriel, have you ever been scared? Were you scared when you fought Ian?”

Uriel gets on the horse and replies; “Of course...but that doesn’t mean that I am human…”

Tiwa chuckles; “You sure are weird…”

Tiwa gets on the horse, and they begin to move once again. Tiwa hugs Uriel’s back as she thinks; “You feel so warm....You are human to me…”

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

“Where...where am I?” Victoria slowly opens her eyes, she looks around and notices that she is tied up in an abandoned church.

“Oh...you woke up...excellent…” Victoria hears the voice of a man, she looks to her left and sees Coyote seeing in a wooden bench. He smokes a cigarette very calmly. Victoria begins to exclaim:

“I remember now...you kidnapped me...why am I here? What are you going to do to me? Are you going to violate me?”

Coyote begins to laugh; “You sure make a lot of questions little girl...of course not, I am not interested in little girls…” Coyote walks towards Victoria and unties her. Victoria asks surprised:

“Wait...you’re letting me go? Why?”

“You’re correct, your role is over, I needed you to lure Uriel here...now that he is coming, you are free to go? If you want, stay...I bet you are intrigued by what is happening? If you decide to leave, you must hurry, because the sun is setting and we are 30kms away from the Borderland…”

Victoria analyzes the situation and sighs with her eyes closed, she decides to sit on the bench next to Coyote and looks at the altar; “You said your name is Sundance “Coyote” Bill right?”

“That’s right missy…”

“That can’t be true...there is a statue of Coyote at the entrance of the city...that means he died a long time ago…”

“Oh you saw the statue? Personally I think it makes me look fat…” Coyote jokes and laughs, Victoria repeats her question; “Are you him?”

“Yes I am…”

“Then how are you alive?”

Coyote turns on another cigarette and replies; “ Little missy...there are things in this world that you don’t need to know…”

Victoria puffs her cheeks and thinks; “That’s so unfair.” She proceeds in asking another question; “You said when you arrived to see Uriel, the words Charro Negro...I thought the Charro Negro was a legend?”

“Oh he is...a legend that has been around Mexico for 150 years…”

“Then you must be insane calling Uriel that...he is just a teenager…”

“Missy, let me tell you something important, sometimes logic is the most stupid thing in this world...Your friend Uriel Di Fiore is El Charro Negro...the spirit that has haunted the lands of Mexico for all these years…”

“That can’t be…” Victoria is in shock upon hearing those words; “LIAR…”

“I have no reason to lie to you...in fact, ask him you self...right Charro Negro?” Coyote stands up and looks at the entrance, Victoria also looks and her eyes shine bright; “UURRIEL!”

Uriel stands at the entrance. Coyote smiles and says; “Welcome, I’ve been expecting you...Juan’s successor…”

“Uriel’ Victoria tries to run towards Uriel. Coyote stops her with his arm; “Whoa little missy...try not to get too excited…”

“Victoria, stay where you are...I need to settle things with Coyote…” Uriel says to Victoria; “Uriel...are you crazy, he has a gun, he could kill you…”

“I SAID STAY WHERE YOU ARE!” Uriel screams to Victoria leaving her speechless. Coyote laughs; “Oh, I like the seriousness in your face…”

Uriel then lifts his right arm and begin to chant:

“Yo soy el Jinete, Yo soy el inicio, Yo soy el final, Yo soy El Charro Negro.” (I am the horsemen, I am the beginning. I am the end, I am El Charro Negro).

Flames come out of Uriel’s ring involving him around in a smaller dome then before changing him into 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 white gloves, and a special pitea belt made of silk. He had a white button shirt with a black vest, a silk tie and a large round sombrero hanging from his neck.

“I guess I got most of my powers back…” Uriel looks at himself.

Victoria looks at him and thinks; “Uriel, you really are El Charro Negro?”

-TCH- “ El viejo warned me not to show this form to anyone aside from the ones I trust…” Uriel looks at Victoria; “Victoria, don’t move…”

Uriel charges directly at Coyote, Coyote takes out his revolver and fires two times. -PIU PIU- Uriel dodges them and kicks the wooden bench aiming at Coyote. Coyote stops it with one hand. Uriel uses the opportunity and kicks the bench along with Coyote.

(PPPUUUMMM)

“Gyahhh...Uriel…” Victoria screams, at that moment, an arm appears out of nowhere and grabs Victoria. Coyote laughs; “Splendid, but that won’t be enough” Coyote takes out his whip and swings it. Uriel jumps back but the whip traps his leg. “HAAA” Coyote throws Uriel towards the benches destroying them, sending him to the entrance.

(BBBBOOOMMM CCCRRAASSSHHH)

Uriel crashes at the wall next to the entrance. “EXCELLENT...YOU GOT FASTER BOY...BUT THAT’S NOT ENOUGH!”

Uriel stands up breathing heavily and smiles; “I know, but I wasn’t trying to fight you seriously...I was just the decoy…”

“Huh…” Coyote sees Victoria at the entrance with Tiwa. Coyote begins to laugh; “Splendid...so you team up with that girl huh...I thought she was afraid of me…”

“Tiwa, what are you doing here?” Victoria asks Tiwa, Tiwa ignores her and takes a few steps. “Hey, don’t ignore me..”

“Victoria...that’s enough…” Uriel stops Victoria. Tiwa looks at Coyote and begins to tremble, her heart beat increases and she breaths at high speed.

“TIWA, SNAP OUT OF IT...YOU’RE A PROUD MEMBER OF THE YSLETA!”

Tiwa looks at Uriel; “You’re right…” Tiwa looks at her two spirits. She grabs courage and screams; “DO YOU REMEMBER ME? YOU KILLED ME 100 YEARS AGO…”

“WWHHHAAATTT!!!” Victoria is shocked, Uriel sighs; “I thought I told you to stay quiet.”

“Mmm...that face looks familiar but sorry...I don’t remember…” Coyote replies honestly. “Damn you, you killed me with that pistol…”Tiwa replies with anger, Coyote sighs and looks at his pistol; “Little girl, I have killed more than 50000 people for almost 200 years...I think remembering one face would be impossible don’t you think…”

Tiwa feels embarrassed. Uriel walks forward and asks; “Why did you want me to come here?”

“I wanted to have a chat with you and you alone…” Coyote looks at Tiwa and Victoria. Uriel looks at them and asks; “Tiwa, Victoria, could you wait outside for a moment?”

“But Uriel...what if he tries something funny…” Tiwa is nervous, Uriel replies; “If he wanted to, we would be dead. This guy is stronger than me…”

“Very well…” Tiwa agrees. Victoria hugs Uriel and gives him a kiss on the cheek; “Thank you for coming to save me....I will wait outside…”
