《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 164: Th Boogeyman's End
Advertisement
His left hand begins to hurt as he feels the aftermath of using the key; “Damn it...I guess I overexerted myself…”
Alejandro takes a deep breath and says; “Was I doing the right thing?”
“Of course you did, you idiot…” Alejandro hears a voice, he turns around as shining lights point at him. It was Carlos and Tiwa who were in the SUV with the children.
“YOU DID IT!” Luis runs towards Alejandro along with all the children as they go and hug him saying things like:
“That was incredible...you did it! You are a hero…”
Alejandro feels embarrassed and laughs nervously, scratching his head. “Hey dude, you were awesome...I can’t believe you faced that monster alone…” Stefan says as he puts his arm around Alejandro’s shoulders.
“Seriously, he’s so reckless...but at least he's okay…” Tiwa says to Carlos.
“Nice work, you managed to defeat the Boogeyman…” Kasumi says as she arrives on her motorcycle. Carlos' eyes “pop out” as he sees her wearing jeans, and a biker’s jacket; “Senpai, looks hot!”
Alejandro stands up, and looks at Kasumi; “Ms. Kasumi, I…”
“No need to apologize, you did a good job...and you’re still alive...that’s what matters…”
“So, what’s going to happen to these children?” Alejandro asks as he sees Luis and Lucia, holding both of his hands. Kasumi smiles; “No need to worry, help is on the way”
Sounds of sirens are heard from afar. Kasumi takes out a paper talisman that has the kanji symbol for; “記憶” (Memory). She begins to explain:
“With this talisma, I will erase their memories about the Boogeyman and everything they lived the past couple of days”
“I see...that’s great…” Alejandro looks at Stefan. Stefam chuckles and gives a thumbs up; “Hey, don’t worry dude...I will forget about this adventure, but can you make me a promise?”
Alejandro looks at Stefan who has tears in his eyes; “Hey Alejandro, please be my friend...I know that I am a loser and a geek...but I don’t want to continue being alone...”
Alejandro stretches his hand and smiles; “Don’t worry, you’ll be part of the HISTOREA club okay…”
“Thanks dude…” Stefan and Alejandro fistbump. Alejandro looks at Luis and the other children; “Listen, you will forget about this nightmare okay...go with Stefan…”
“But Alejandro, will we forget about you?”
Alejandro nods in agreement, Luis begins to cry; “But...I don’t want to…”
Alejandro gets on one knee and puts his hand on Luis’ shoulder; “Listen, it’s better that way...I don’t want you kids to remember that monster...you will be happier that way…” Alejandro hugs Luis; “You were very brave...remember that you are a hero okay...now promise me that you will protect your sister…”

“I will...I promise…” Luis and the other children say goodbye to Alejandro and the others. Stefan also waves and makes a thumbs up. Kasumi throws the talisman to air. She makes a hand sign consisting of two fingers up. The talisman disintegrates forming a giant golden circle in front of the children. The giant circle has the symbol; “記憶” (Memory).
The children and Stefan cross the circle shining a golden light. After a few minutes, the police arrive, along with the firefighters and the ambulance. The parents of the lost children run and hug them. The medical team helps Stefan and asks; “Hey, kid, what happened?”
“I saved them from a pedophile who had them kidnapped in a strange house…” Stefan says as he doesn’t remember what really happened.
Stefan and the children’s memories were erased and replaced with new ones that were less traumatizing. Alejandro and the others look at them from a distance…
“I’m sorry guys, he escaped…” Alejandro says looking down. “Don’t worry...I just received a text from Chelsea...it looks like that gigolo didn’t stay with his arms crossed…”
“Gigolo? Wait...you mean…him…” Alejandro chuckels; “I knew that he would help…”
***************************************************************************
Unknown…
A portal opened in the place where a giant tree once stood…
“Ha...ha...ha…” The Boogeyman walks crooked and tired as he says:
“Damn it...how could I lose to that idiot...I can’t believe it...but once I regenerate...I will kill that brat…”
“I’m afraid that won’t be possible…” The Boogeyman hears the voice of a young man. Suddenly, feels a powerful force that paralyzes him. The Boogeyman slowly turns around and looks at a giant shadow, a figure begins to walk forward, he has red eyes as he slowly drags the sword causing sparks.
The Boogeyman takes a step back frightened; “Y-Y-You, why are you here?”
The figure comes out of the shadow revealing to be Uriel. Uriel makes a sinister smile; “I came here to kill you…”
“Damn it...I won’t let you…” The Boogeyman makes a couple of roots attack Uriel. -SSSLLAASHHH- Uriel cuts the roots at high speed. He dissapears from the Boogeyman’s sight. “Where did he go?” The Boogeyman looks around.
“I’m right here…” Uriel says from behind with his sword covered in green blood. The Boogeyman feels unbalanced, he opens his eyes wider as he sees his leg cut off.
“AAAHH….DAMNED YOU!” The Boogeyman falls to the ground feeling pain. Uriel walks slowly towards him and stabs him one time; “AAHHHH...WHY? I HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU? AREN’T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE NEUTRAL?”
Uriel pulls out his sword from the Boogeyman’s stomach; “I am neutral, when it comes to the Hobgoblins, Fairies and Alebrijes...I musn’t interfere...as El Charro Negro…”

“Then why?”
Uriel stabs him once again; “Why you ask? It’s because you hurt my friend…”
“Your friend? That brat?”
“That’s right...now then, I need a perfect excuse to hunt you down…” Uriel chuckles; “I really enjoy seeing bastards like you get what they deserve...now then, how many children did you kidnap? O yes...20...that means, I will stab you 20 times...”
“No...wait, please…”
Uriel begins to stab the Boogeyman in a slow way; “That’s 1…I imagined that was how you played with your victims as you ate them right? How about if you start thinking about your victims...”
(SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH)
Uriel stabbed the Boogeyman 19 more times...by the time he made the final stab...the Boogeyman appeared to be dead...however…
“So, you’re still alive huh...I guess Hobgoblins are really resilient…”
“Please...kill me…”
“Kill you? With pleasure…” Uriel lifts his sword, the Boogeyman says another thing; “He promised me that you wouldn’t interfere…”
“He..whose he?”
“Da...Da...Darius…”
“Darius? so, it was all he planned…” Uriel puts his sword away; “Now then, because you were so kind enough to give me the man who sent you here...I will spare your life…”
“What are you?”
Uriel takes out a small red crystal; “This is a manna seal crystal...you will be sealed on this crystal forever...you know the great part is, that you won’t die, you will live with that pain...with those wounds for eternity…”
“NO...NO...NO…” The Boogeyman begins to crawl, trying to get away from Uriel, he extends his arm trying to open a portal. -SSSLLLAASHHH- Uriel cuts his hand in a blink of an eye; “You won’t escape….”
Uriel grabs a drop of the Boogeyman’s blood and puts it in the crystal; “Have fun living in this crystal for eternity, “Sigillum Fati” (Seal of Fate)” The crystal begins to shine, the Boogeyman gets slowly absorbed; “NOOO!!!”
“Good bye, Boogeyman” Uriel says as the crystal stops shining. The crystal falls to his hand. Uriel buries the crystal, he takes out a vase filled with ash and begins to draw a circle. He takes out a rosary and throws it to the air.
“En el nombre de Dios, sella este mal…” (In the Name of God...seal this evil!) The beads break and form a circle, falling to the ground outside the ash circle.
Uriel jumps to the top; “Now then…” Uriel stabs his sword to the ground. -BBBOOMMM- The ground collapses and fills the hole completely. Uriel uses a talisman that has a kanjo symbol; “密閉” (Seal). The talisman sticks in the highest rock. Uriel takes a deep breath:
“There...all done…”
“You overdid it…” Chelsea chuckles as she walks towards him. Uriel looks at her and makes a little smile; “Well, I don’t want anyone freeing him.”
“What did you do?”
“I used a manna crystal to seal him, put some holy ash, and some rosary I got from Sister Carolina and this seal talisman from Shion...I don’t want him to be eating children ever again…”
“That’s so noble from you, despite brutally torturing him…” Chelsea chuckles, Uriel writes a message to Alejandro; “I guess, I just don’t like injustices in this world.”
“I see…” Chelsea summons a pistol and fires a bullet towards the fallen tree, the tree burns slowly. Uriel looks at Chelsea and asks:
“So, how was that for excitement?”
Chelsea looks at him and laughs; “You know...it was really exciting, I really enjoy looking at your dark side…” Chelsea stops laughing and asks with an embarrassed expression:
“Hey, why did you accept going out with me? I know that you have feelings for another girl right?”
Uriel chuckles; “I can ask the same, you are obviously in love with Carlos…” Chelsea blushes; “It’s not like that...besides he’s more interested in Kasumi Senpai…”
“That may be true, but his rhythm changes when he’s with you…”
“Seriously?”
“Of course...”
“You know Uriel, you may not accept it, but you are a hero for many people…”
“Hero? Now that was sudden…”
“Yes you are...and I believe that you can save this city…”
“Save huh...my only goal is to take down Darius...saving the city is something a hero would do...and I’m not a hero…”
“Well, I believe the contrary…” Chelsea approaches Uriel and puts her arms around him. Uriel looks at her and asks; “What are you doing?”
“Well, I know that you were just fulfilling your promise and that you actually have feelings for another girl...however, this is an opportunity I can’t miss…”
“What are you…” Chelsea interrupts Uriel by giving him a passionate kiss in the mouth. They kiss in front of the burning tree which is slowly going out by the falling rain. As Chelsea slowly separates her lips from Uriel, she licks them and says:
“Well, I got to taste your lips before Senpai, so, I call it a win…”
Uriel looks surprised at first and smiles; “Time to go…” Chelsea also smiles; “Thank you…”
Uriel opens a portal and both of them enter it as the portal closes.
Alejandro received a message from Uriel that said:
The Boogeyman was defeated, Good job Mr. Hero…

He was suddenly brought before an all-powerful being and given yet another go at life... Let's hope things are different this time.
