Present...
In the Ministry, Naomi reunited with her parents, her parents were so relieved to see their daughter. The three sisters arrive with Sister Carolina, Sister Carolina goes outside to defend the Ministry....
New Sombras begin to attack the city… once again they gained the upper hand…the Giant Sombra fights trying to free themselves…
“This is no good...I am out of bullets…” Flor breathes heavily, Officer Rodriguez stands next to her; “I’m also out… I guess this is the end…” Both of them stand there as multiple Sombras charge at them. Officer Rodriguez stands in front of Flor; “I will not let you die…” Flor looks at him with surprise.
(RRRAAAWWW)
“Danza de la Luna” (Moon Dance)
(SSSLLLASSHHH)
Uriel appears in front of them and cuts all of the Sombras, purifying them. Officer Rodriguez and Flor are surprised, Uriel looks at them and says; “You two get out here now...You will just be a burden…”
“Boy, where is my daughter?”
“Victoria is fine, she is in the Ministry of San Juan, I recommend you guys go as well…” Officer Rodriguez feels relieved upon hearing those words; “Thank you, Uriel…”
“There is no need to thank me, just go….”
“But…”
(SSSLLLAAASSHHH)
Suddenly, a fire barrier appears between them. “YOU TWO, GET A MOVE ON NOW! Father Clemente says to them, Officer Rodriguez grabs Flor’s hand and begins to run. Flor blushes as she sees Officer Rodriguez taking the lead. Father Clemente jumps to Uriel’s side;
“Hello my boy, you look tired…”
“Nonsense, you are the one who looks like a tired old man…” Uriel chuckles, Father Clemente laughs, Uriel sees the Giant Sombra and comments; “I need to stop the ShadowTamer who is on the Beast’s forehead…”
“Uriel, are you going to kill the Shadow Tamer?”
“I don’t know, but I made a promise to someone that I wouldn’t, however, if I have no other choice…”
Father Clemente puts his hand on Uriel’s shoulder; “My son, you need to understand that there is always a way to stop someone without killing them...and remember, you are not alone…”

Uriel doesn’t say anything, he walks forward and swings his sword; “I’m going to borrow your flames, go to a higher ground and order the others to retreat…”
“Uriel, what are you…”
Calakmul extends his hand and releases mana; “I will take control now, Estrella, you are no longer useful to me…”
(BADUMP)
The Giant Sombra changes the eye color from red to yellow, the Giant Sombra releases multiple arms and breaks the barrier.
(BBBBOOOMMM RRRRAAWWW)
The Giant Sombra runs towards north, other sombras follow the giant one. Estrella, who was under the influence of the anger inside her, comes to her senses; “What’s happening, where am I?”
Estrella looks at the ground and her surroundings; “GYYYAHHH HELP ME, SOMEONE HELP ME…” Estrella sinks into the Sombra’s forehead.
Uriel and Father Clemente observe the Sombras heading their way; “Old man I going first”
“I told you, we’re going together…”
The flames that Father Clemente created are observed by Uriel’s sword. Uriel and Clemente run towards the Sombras; “Boy, this will be a one shot okay…”
“Very well old man...try to keep up…”
“HAHAHA, THAT WAS MY LINE…” Father Clemente and Uriel prepare to attack; “Arte del Mariachi, Canción del Fuego, Segunda Estrofa; Círculo Divino de Fuego” (Mariachi Art, Fire Song, Second Stanza; Divine Circle Flame)
Uriel releases a fire lance heading straight to the Sombras.
Father Clemente releases a giant flame attack; “Juicio del Fuego Santo” (Holy Fire Judgment)
(BBBBBOOOOOMMMMM)
Both of the attacks create a tsunami of fire, destroying the Sombras that were charging in one attack. The heat is so intense that it impacts the Giant Sombra.
(RRRAAAWWW)
Uriel looks at the Sombra advancing, and new Sombras forming. Father Clemente breathes heavily; “This is not good Uriel, if we don’t do something...the city will…”
“I know, but don’t worry, I already took care of it…”
Uriel turns and sees the tallest building in Rio Grande City; “Tiwa, it’s up to you…”
“HELP ME!” Uriel and Father Clemente hear Estrella’s voice in the Sombra. -TCH- Uriel jumps directly towards the Sombra; “URIEL WAIT!”

Uriel used the wind as an impulse to jump higher, the Giant Sombra released arms trying to grab him. Uriel dodges several but one finally catches him and forces him into crashing a building.
(CCRRRAAASSHHH)
Uriel lies on the ground, as he is about to get up, more arms head his way.
(PIU PIU PIU)
In a blink of an eye, bullets hit the arms disintegrating them; “Hey muchacho, don’t tell me you reached your limit.” Coyote says as he lands next to Uriel, Uriel stands up; “I don’t need your help…”
“Of course you don’t but remember that this thing is a threat and we need to stop it now…” Coyote jumps and uses his lasso to swing towards the Sombra.
Uriel also jumps and uses his wind. Father Clemente cuts Sombra's arms, Uriel and Coyote continue to dodge the attacks. More Sombras head their way, but Coyote vanishes them with the help of his pistols.
The Giant Sombra keeps advancing. Uriel and Coyote land next to Father Clemente, Coyote greets Clemente; “Howdy exorcist, you sure have aged in 30 years…”
“Hahaha well you haven’t changed one bit...do you go to spas daily to keep your skin so young?”
“Hahaha well I recommend you to do so if you want to live longer…” Coyote and Father Clemente shake hands; “If you are here Coyote, then that means that you have a job huh...is it the Shadow Tamer?”
“Something like that, but I am helping out this muchacho for now…”
“I see..”
“Hey you two, you can catch up later, right now, we have to stop this Sombra.” Uriel exclaims to both of them. He notices someone approaching him, Daniel walks towards him in a calm fashion; “Hey brother, it appears you need some help…”
“Daniel, what are you doing here?” Father Clemente asks worriedly, Daniel chuckles; “Relax father, I have everything figured out…”
“Do you have a plan Daniel?”
“Of course, I will get you to the head of that thing, but I want you to save that girl, don’t kill her…”
Uriel looks at the beast and sees Estrella afraid, he nods in agreement, Daniel smiles; “Very well, hey guys are you ready?”
“Yes Jefe...give the signal…” Apá says through the phone; “Okay Chuco Clan, it’s time to save this city…” Every member of the Chuco Clan is located in four directions surrounding the Gian Sombra; they have a portal behind them in order to escape; “This is Bofo...ready…”
“This is Chuy, in position…”
“This is Tito...ready when you are Jefe…”
Daniel looks at Uriel; “Prepare yourself, you will have one second…” Uriel smiles; “That’s all I need…”
Daniel picks up his phone; “NOW!!” The four members of the Chuco Clan throw the grenades that Daniel gave them. The grenades land in each of the legs.-BOOOOM- THe grenades explode, unbalancing the Gian Sombra. Uriel uses the opportunity to jump towards the head. With great speed, Uriel avoids Sombra's attack and manages to reach Estrella.
“Excellent, Chuco Clan, Retreat..” Daniel orders them; “Right Jefe…” Each of the members jump into the portal and disappear.
“Help me...please...help me…” Estrella shouts with a desperate look on her face, Uriel tries to pull her but the Sombra forces her to sink.
“Calm down, I promise I will get you out…” Uriel takes out his sword and tries to make a little cut. The Giant Sombra notices and hands come out of the head and begin to pull Uriel in.
“NOO...PLEASE...I DON'T WANT TO DIE...NO…” Estrella disappears in the Sombra’s head. “This is bad…” Uriel is also absorbed by Giant Sombra.
“UUURRIIIEELL” Father Clemente screams. “That idiot...why didn’t he use his power…” Daniel says with a drop of sweat coming down his face. Coyote laughs; “I see now...this kid has a great heart despite being the devil himself…”
The Giant Sombra begins to move faster and heads towards the Ministry of San Juan.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Chromesight
After three centuries, post-industrial civilization threatens to shatter. Megacorporations accrue enormous power by linking together nations turned insular in the aftermath of yesterday's global multilateralism; a reinvigorated United Nations threatens the crumbling sovereignty of state by enforcing human rights independently of member nations, and the UN and others patrol for mass destruction technologies in the ever-accelerating, ever-democratizing arms race. Another environmental collapse looms, visions of the last haunting memories and consciences of the lower and middle classes around the globe. That is the reality that virtual child Colton is rehabilitated into. A system shock, a brave new world and above all a regurgitation. Rescued from being a tool in cyberspace and grown a new body, Colton couldn't care less about the new meatspace world. He wants to go back, back to the electronic glow that was his home. - - - - This is a MyNoWriMo entry. Lesser known than NaNoWriMo, MyNoWriMo takes place in January and is otherwise exactly the same. The goal is to finish this as quickly as possible and then possibly circle back and tidy things up. In the meantime there'll be no editing and helter-skelter story planning since I didn't do it beforehand :/
