Vol. 4 - Chapter 5.5: The Gem of Kukulkan

  30 Km away from Rio Grande City…

  In the abandoned village where the Ysleta Tribe once lived...A ferocious battle was about to begin…

  (BBBBOOOOMMMM)

  The red mana lands in the triangular device that Uriel previously used. Coming out of the mana, Uriel and Calakmul jump in opposite directions. The teleportation device automatically destroys itself.

  Calakmul looks at his surroundings; “WHERE HAVE YOU TAKEN ME?”

  “Away from the city...I sense you are dangerous to be around people…”

  “DAMN YOU...WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?”

  Uriel grabs his sword and takes a battle stance; “I am the one who will defeat you…Now tell me, why didn’t you die when I stabbed you?”

  “YOU INSOLENT BRAT! I AM IMMORTAL... I AM THE LAST RULER OF THE MAYANS...CALAKMUL...AND I HAVE THE POWER OF THE GOD KUKULKAN!”

  Calakmul takes out the green colored gem with a hexagonal form. His eyes turned into a greenish color as he chants; “Gema de Kukulkan; Modo Tierra” (Gem of Kukulkan; Earth Mode)

  Calakmul releases green mana from the gem onto his body. Soon, the earth begins to tremble, Uriel looks at his surroundings and notices the houses and buildings collapsing.

  Uriel opens his eyes wider; “What 's going on? Did he say Kukulkan!”

  “That’s right you mongrel...This is one of the 16 Treasures scattered in the world and only those who are chosen by the Gods have the right to wield them. Here is a taste of its power…”

  (BBBBBOOOOOOMMMM)

  Calakmul stomps with force, the ground begins to split and slowly separates itself causing a massive earthquake. Uriel jumps into a higher ground as the ground levels begin to distort.

  “What the hell? This power…”

  “TREMBLE AGAINST THE POWER OF THE ELEMENTS!”

  The earthquake is so great that even those in the Mission of San Juan can feel it…

  Uriel jumps into the air, Calakmul changes his eye colors to white and chants; “Modo Viento” (Wind mode)

  Calakmul extends his arm and commands the wind to gather around them. The pieces of earth begin to float thanks to the power of the wind.

  Tornados begin to head towards Uriel's direction. Uriel begins to run away from them thinking; “I need to get into a higher ground…”

  “You can’t escape boy…” Calakmul suddenly appears in front of Uriel. -PPPUUMM- He kicks Uriel with forces sending him through two giant boulders. Uriel tries to react, but Calakmul sends another boulder straight at him. -BBBOOOOMMMM- The boulder makes an impact, but Uriel barely manages to escape by jumping sideways.

  Uriel lands in the ground breathing heavily, he looks up thinking; “This power…it’s terrifying…”

  Uriel notices that Calakmul has a dark aura surrounding him; “So, he is using Sombras as well…”

  “That’s right boy, Estrella isn’t the only Shadow Tamer here…” Calakmul extends his hand and multiple Sombras come out of his body.

  Uriel jumps back trying to evade the attacks, but the Sombras are faster and grab him, forcing him into the ground.

  (BBBBOOOMMM)

  “AAHHH” Uriel screams as blood comes out of his mouth.

  The Sombras grab his limbs; “So, he managed to hide some in his body huh…Damn it…” Uriel tries to break free; he sees Calakmul grab his gem; “Modo Rayo” (Lightning Mode)

  Calakmul’s eyes turn into a yellowish color, lightning comes out of his body and expands to his surroundings.

  Uriel breathes heavily as he slowly stands up. Calakmul makes a sinister smile; “Try to avoid this…” Calakmul throws a lightning attack at Uriel and the Sombras. -CCCRRAASSHHH- A huge explosion destroys the boulder where Uriel is located.

  After a few moments, Uriel comes out of the smoke screen, Calakmul who now has red eyes releases fire from the gem: “Modo Fuego” (Fire Mode)

  Calakmul throws fire towards Uriel. Uriel gathers mana and chants; “Viento Divino; Barrera” (Divine Wind Barrier)

  (CCCRRRASSSHHH)

  Uriel manages to stop the fire, he stands in another floating boulder as he breathes heavily; “This is no good, I need to get that gem or otherwise…”

  Calakmul disappears from his sight and appears in front of him. Uriel tries to jump back; “You will not escape”-SSLLLAAASSSHH- Calakmul makes a cut on Uriel’s hip.

  “AAHHHH” Uriel grabs his hip; “YOU’RE NOT GETTING AWAY!” Calakmul’s eyes change into blue, and blue mana emerges from the gem, the mana turns into water; “Modo Agua” (Water Mode)

  Water currents hit Uriel, Calakmul quickly changes the element to lightning. -BBBOOOMMM- Calakmul releases lightning at the same time as the water and hits Uriel with it.

  The massive electrical current overwhelms Uriel who falls to the ground. Uriel trembles as he thinks; “Perhaps...that fight with Ian took a larger toll on me…”

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  “Now you understand young one...no one can beat the Last King of the Mayans...Do you get it now? I was the destined king, but Kukulkan forsake me, and now I will destroy this land that brought me shame, the Land of Cibola will fall…”

  Uriel chuckles as he mocks Calakmul; “You talk too much…”

  Calakmul makes a lightning fist and hits Uriel’s stomach.

  (PPPUUMMM)

  “AAAHHH” Uriel screams from the pain, Calakmul infuriated, shouts as he steps on Uriel; “You dare to laugh at the king? You alone cannot defeat me!”

  “You’re right...at least I... alone can’t.”

  Suddenly, Tiwa, who is already fused with her spirits appears and slashes Calakmul’s back.

  (SSSLLLAASSHHH)

  “What is this?” Calakmul turns around. Tiwa smiles at him; “Surprise!”

  Tiwa grabs him with her serpent rope and sends him flying towards another floating boulder.

  (BBBBOOOOMMMM)

  “Sheesh, you look so beat up Uriel...Good thing, I , Tiwa de Ysleta is here to help you…” Tiwa smiles at Uriel. Uriel chuckles as he slowly stands up; “It’s a good thing you’re here then…”

  Tiwa with embarrassment hands over the hat; “T-T-Thank you...you were a great help…”

  “No... thank you…” Uriel grabs the hat.

  Another figure walks towards them; “HAHA, Man, get a room you two…”

  Tiwa immediately turns red; “SHUT UP! WHY DID YOU COME HERE COYOTE?”

  Coyote lights a cigarette; “I’m here to hunt my prey girl…”

  Uriel looks at the two of them; “So, you also tagged along huh…”

  “I told you muchacho, I have a bounty that I need to hunt...and that guy is my prey…”

  “I see…”

  (BBBOOOOOMMM)

  Calakmul comes out floating using his power; “How did those two appear here?”

  “Easy, I just open a portal for them…” Uriel replies to Calakmul, Tiwa remembers his words; T”he portal is meant to be used by a Charro Negro...however, if you have something that belongs to me or you are close to me, you are also be able to cross…”

  “Coyote, Tiwa...I’m afraid I only have mana left for one attack only...I will need you two to cover me…”

  “Well...I guess I have no choice…” Tiwa she avoids looking at him. Coyote finishes his cigarette and laughs; “Alright muchacho, but you better make it count…” Coyote walks forward as he slowly removes his eyepatch; “For moments like these, it’s better to go full force right?”

  “You mongrel...standing in front of a king? Who do you think you are?”

  Calakmul prepares to attack. Coyote smiles at him; “Hey, King of the Mayans, let me show you the reason they call me Coyote…”

  (BBBAADDUUMMPPPP)

  Coyote opens his eye, his eye has a giant scar like Uriel, the eye has a shining golden color. Coyote takes out the twin pistols:

  “Native Girl, stand back...let me show you the true power of the Greatest Bounty Hunter…”

  “Don’t disrespect a king!” Calakmul summons more Sombras. -RRRAAAWWW- Sombras run at high speed towards them.

  (BBBOOOMM)

  Coyote jumps into the air and begins to fire his twin pistols destroying the Sombras that are heading towards their direction.

  Coyote is very precise and aim at their heads, giving a clean shot, killing them instantly.

  (BANG BANG)

  Calakmul uses the gem and summons winds one more time, Tiwa uses the opportunity to flies directly at Calakmul using her wings; “Garras Plateadas” (Silver Claws)

  (SSSLLLASSHHH)

  Tiwa tries to hit Calakmul but fails, releases fire towards her, Tiwa flies evading the flames. She slowly releases feathers as she chants; “Plumas divinas del Guardian” (Divine Guardian Feathers)

  Tiwa releases feathers like projectiles towards Calakmul, Calakmul blocks them thanks to the wind he created.

  (BBANNNGG)

  A bullet hits his back; “Damn you…” Calakmul turns and sees Coyote smiling with his pistol aiming at him. Tiwa uses her serpent to grab a boulder and throw it at Calakmul with force.

  (CCCRRRAAASSSHHHH)

  Calakmul falls as he remembers everything that happened to him:

  “NOO...I AM THE GREAT KING...CALAKMUL…”

  (BBOOOOMMMM)

  Calakmul releases all the elements with rage, the elements are out of control. Tiwa falls back screaming; “ARE YOU READY URIEL?”

  At the mission, people look with fear as the earth trembles…

  “What’s going to happen?” People ask desperately, feeling fear. Sister Carolina stands next to Father Clemente; “Father, they are feeling despair…”

  “I know…but this time to have faith…” Father Clemente begins to speak; “SILENCE...MY FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS, OUR GOD IS GREAT THAT HE SEND US A SAVIOR THAT WILL PUT AN END TO THIS HELLISH NIGHT...HAVE FAITH AND LET US ALL PRAY…”

  Everyone closes their eyes to pray. Daniel only looks at the sky; “Uriel…”

  “Hey Jefe? aren’t you going to pray?” Apá asks Daniel, Daniel looks at him and smiles; “I won’t...I’ll pray when my brother returns…”

  Maria looks at the three sisters who are worried. Abril then makes a question; “Ms. Maria, is Uriel going to be okay?”

  “Of course he will...he will save us all…” Maria hugs Abril as she thinks; “Uriel...please come back safely…”

  At the battlefield…

  At the same time, Uriel takes a stance consisting of putting one leg forward and bending it a little. He puts his sword in the form of a projectile and chants; “Liberati Bellum” (War Release)

  Uriel releases crimson mana, his eyes turn red, and his hair turns into a pinkish tone color.

  “I know that I don’t have enough mana to do this, but this is all I can do now…” Uriel opens his eyes and sees the out-of-control Calakmul; “This is my last attack!”

  His sword begins to shine in a crimson color, Uriel closes his eyes thinking; “Focus your mana on a single point, a lance that pierced through all. Focus…”

  “I WILL NOT LET MY LEGEND END HERE!” Calakmul extends its power so much to the point that everyone in Rio Grande City sees the clouds forming from afar.

  The weather changes in a drastic way, winds hit the mountains causing houses to fly away, the earth trembles, lightning falls and rain hits with great force. Fire is seen from afar. Calakmul loses all senses of himself and goes out of control.

  “URIEL NOW!” Tiwa screams as she and Coyote are overwhelmed by the powerful forces. Uriel takes a deep breath; “I am the beginning…I am the end…I am El Charro Negro…”

  “Hastam de bello” (War Lance)

  (CCCHIIINNNGGG)

  Uriel pushes his sword forward, the blade extends like a lance heading towards Calakmul. The blade travels at high speed, Calakmul doesn't notice Uriel's attack.

  (SSSSLLLAASSHH)

  The attack pierces through his heart. Calakmul’s rampage stops; “Huh...when did this…” Calakmul notices the blade piercing his body. Calakmul’s power stops flowing, blood comes out of his mouth.

  “HE DID IT!” Tiwa shouts with excitement, Coyote chuckles as he lights another cigarette; “Just like the old time...partner…”

  The floating boulders and the ground level begin to fall and turn back to normal. Calakmul also falls thinking; “IS THIS THE END? BUT I AM IMMORTAL...WHY DO I FEEL THAT I AM DYING HERE…”

  Uriel breathes heavily thinking; “I think I went overboard…” Uriel begins to lose consciousness as he looks at Tiwa flying to his directions.

  The sun begins to come out, bringing an end to the Night of the Shadows…
