《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 36: The Surprise Attack
Advertisement
The sun begins to set, Uriel’s group head to downtown Sun City. Between the tallest building, a small cafe is established with a sign that says:
“Jairo’s Coffee”
“Jairo, we’ve arrived…” Kasumi opens the door, Jairo and Rosa are waiting for them. The store is closed for the day with a “Close” sign at the door.
“Good, well Alejandro, it looks like you came after a two week absence. I hope you didn’t forget that you still work here right?”
Alejandro apologizes with tears in his eyes; “I’m sorry, I thought I was fired…”
“Well you are not, remember that this job is a lifetime…” Mr. Jairo pats Alejandro’s head.
“Thank you…”
“There is also a job for you Tiwa and for you too handsome…” Jairo winks at Uriel, Uriel replies politely:
“Thank you, I will consider it…”
Kasumi feels jealous and clears her throat.
“Jairo, let’s go to the base for now…”
“Right, sorry Kasumi…”
Jairo and the others go to the back of the coffee shop where the kitchen lies. He stands at the door of an abandoned fridge located at the end of the kitchen. He moves the handle and a keypad appears. He enters the code and the refrigerator begins to slowly open.
“Holy cow, that’s a secret passage, just like the movies!” Alejandro shouts with excitement.
"You work here and you never suspected it?" Tiwa asks with a disappointed expression.
"Well, I always thought it was a decoration, but looking at it now. Everything makes sense now…" Alejandro laughs nervously as he scratches his cheek.
“You are correct, but remember you three that this is a secret…and if you say something, you will die…”
Jairo puts on a serious expression, causing Alejandro and Tiwa to feel nervous. Jairo switches his expression:
“Just kidding…”

As they walk down the stairs, the lights begin to turn on, Alejandro looks with wonder as he thinks:
“Man, this is like a Batcave, I wonder if I can meet Batman…”
They reach the hideout, the hideout consists of a room with a large computer, it has hearts and rainbows everywhere, and Unicorn figures at the size of a german shepherd.There is a large sofa with two small couches on the side.
“WELCOME TO MY BASE OF OPERATIONS...WONDERLAND…” Jairo presents the base with excitement.
“Jairo is a lower trunk member, he is an expert on technology...he is our eyes and ears in this city.” Kasumi explains to Uriel, Uriel nods understanding the situation.
“Now then, Carlos and Chelsea are currently on a mission hunting down some Kage on the north eastern part of Sun City. Right now there are no signs of the Chupacabras.”
“I see, well then, let’s wait for the report. For now, let’s go over what we know about the Chupacabras.”
******************************************************************************
At the southeastern part of Sun City, there is a suburban area of houses located away from the tallest buildings. The sun is setting, causing large shadows to cover the area. The Sombras or Kages begin to move. Carlos and Chelsea begin to hunt them down as part of their mission:
(RRRRRAAAWWW)
(PIU PIU)
"That's one down." Carlos brags as he watches one of the Sombras disappear. He wears a black jacket with blue borders and black military pants.
(RRRRRAAAWWWW)
A sombra approaches from the back. Carlos turns around feeling relaxed:
"Prepare to meet your…."
(BBAANNGGG)
A bullet hits Sombra's head, making it disappear.
Carlos looks disappointed and exclaims:
"SHEESH CHELSEA, THAT WAS MINE…”
Chelsea appears, she is wearing a black vest with light blue borders with a long shirt below her vest. She has black shorts with leggings and military boots. She has headphones with a special blue lens on her left eye.

Chelsea makes a smirk; “ Well too bad, I was just faster.”
Carlos sighs, he puts his hand in his ear and gives a report:
“This is Carlos, mission accomplished.”
“Excellent, come back to the base. We will begin the meeting shortly.” Jairo informs both of them.
"Right…" Carlos sighs with his eyes closed.
" What's wrong? You look down on the dumps…" Chelsea asks Carlos, Carlos looks at her and doesn't respond.
Chelsea makes a smirk and teases Carlos:
"Are you jealous of Uriel?"
Carlos stops walking as he looks away nervously. He begins to explain:
"It's just that I never imagined that Uriel was strong enough to beat Senpai."
"You got a point, that Uriel appears to be stronger and more handsome than you…"
"NO HE IS NOT, WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON ANYWAY?"
"I'm with the most handsome of course…" Chelsea teases Carlos. She grabs his shoulder saying:
" If you keep working hard, I'm sure Senpai will someday notice you…"
"You think so?"
"HELL NO!" Chelsea burst in laughter. Carlos makes a fist; " Damn you…"
Carlos and Chelsea turn around a corner, there is an empty street that has a dead end, the lights are off, there are no cars, only clothes float around the block. Carlos and Chelsea look terrified.
“What’s going on here…”
“You sinners, should pay…”
Carlos and Chelsea are frozen as someone slowly walks past them. A girl with black cloak and white hair slowly walks to the center of the street. She lifts her head revealing her green eyes.
Carlos looks at the clothes and with a furious tone screams:
“DID YOU KILL ALL OF THESE PEOPLE?”
“You sinners should pay because of what you did to the “Ales.” The Ales took revenge against you sinners. Everyone here was a tribute to him…”
Carlos and Chelsea look at her wondering what she was talking about.
“Jairo can you hear me? We have a situation…”
(BBBBOOOMMMM)
Suddenly, something falls from the sky, a winged monster spreads its wings and roars.
“It can’t be...that’s the Chupacabras,” Chelsea says with nervousness. Carlos is also in shock; he changes his expression with confidence:
“Perfect, now I will demonstrate to Kasumi-Senpai that I am the only one that should be her right hand.”
Carlos takes out two kunai knives and charges at the beast.
“Wait Carlos, it's dangerous…” Chelsea tries to warn him. The girl looks at both of them:
“You two will also serve as sacrifices.”
Carlos and Chupacabras clash with great force.
(BBBBBOOOOMMMM)
“Damn it…” Chelsea makes her rifle appear; however she is suddenly frozen. Someone appears behind her. A man with a black cloak comes out from a portal.
“Wait a minute young girl, it’s better to not interfere…”
Chelsea slowly turns around with fear as she sees the face the man:
“It can’t be...you….”
El Muerto attacks Chelsea without giving her time to react.

Voidsong (A NaNoWriMo 2018 winner)
Synopsys: The Empire thought humanity died, and forgot all about it. The Empire is mistaken. A Note From the Author: This story was written as a National Novel Writing Month 2018 entrant. As such, its entire 50,000+ word length was written between November 1, 2018 and November 31, 2018. Overall, I would consider this no more than a polished draft. In that vein, the chapters have no names, only numbers. Special thanks to Chronus on youtube for answering my questions on NATO radio procedures! My Apologies to the Finnish Language, which I have abused in (probably) unforgivable ways to create Twisted Empire names. If anyone is interested, break the names up by commas and toss them into your favorite translation program (I used Google Translate, and tried to avoid umlauts and other accents) for some semi bilingual boni. If I got something wrong (and I know I did… somewhere…) let me know over on reddit and I will see what I can do to fix the mistake. Lyrics, where included, are cited in footnotes.
