《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 142: The Power of the Skinwalker
Advertisement
(RRRRAAAAWWWW)
The Warriors and the Sombras begin to charge at the city. Navajo looks at Anastasia who is conscious; “Little girl, the time has come to fulfill your role...be my sacrifice…”
“...” Anastasia doesn’t say a thing as she only thinks; “ALEJANDRO….”
Navajo begins the ritual, a pillar of purple manna begins to emerge as a circle is drawn in the sky; “Alright...this will take a couple of minutes to charge…”
Navajo looks at the unconscious people and says; “I will sacrifice you all…” The people who he captured, begin to get their manna sucked away turning them into skeletons. “The Gates of the Underworld will now be open…”
(BBBBOOOOOMMMMM)
“My...oh my...those are a lot of Kage…” Heidi says as she and Tiwa stand on top of a hill. Tiwa sighs with her eyes closed; “See what you did...now I will have to fight again...Alejandro…”
“Now...now...leave him alone...I’m sure he learned his lesson…” Valerie says as she looks behind her.
Alejandro slowly walks towards them, a shadow covers him, however, a silver light shines in his right arm. As Alejandro walks towards the light, a silver crest is shown in his left arm.
“Sorry to keep you waiting…” Alejandro stands next to them, he has silver colored eyes as he looks at the CIBOLA Cemetery; “Anastasia, wait for me...I will save you…”
“So what’s our plan? Hero?” Tiwa asks Alejandro. Alejandro makes a serious face, takes a deep breath and replies; “I don’t know…” Tiwa “falls” and replies; “What the hell, I thought you had one because you sounded so confident…” Alejandro puts his hands together; “I’m sorry...Ms. Heidi, what do we do?”
“Fufufu...you remind me of my husband when he was your age…” Heidi chuckles, Valerie also chuckles saying; “You big dummy…”
“Alejandro Sanchez, you always act smart but you’re a fool…” Everyone looks up and sees El Muerto with the green-striped mask descending on a green platform created by mana. Alejandro gets mad; “El Muerto...why are you here?”

“I was ordered to help you save Anastasia...nothing more…” El Muerto replies, Alejandro nods in agreement; “I see...well then thank you…”
“Don’t thank me...I hate you…” El Muerto replies, Alejandro feels as if giant words “fall” on to him saying; “Lame”
El Muerto begins to say; “Now then, the plan is simple, I will take care of the creatures that are protecting the cemetery, Alejandro, you will charge there and save Anastasia...that's all…” Alejandro looks at the ones who are running; “What about them?”
“Don’t worry...we will take care of them...I already have someone in the spot…” Heidi replies to Alejandro; “I see…”
“Very well, let’s begin…President...” El Muerto charges towards the cemetery with a green platform that he created. “Wait…President?” Alejandro tries to stop him but it’s too late; “That phrase…”.
El Muerto descends with speed. He lifts his hands and creates multiple mana based missiles. El Muerto points to the cemetery; “Now go…” The missiles charge towards the warriors and the sombras guarding the entrance.
(BBBOOOMM BBBOOOOMMM)
Navajo notices and makes a sinister smile; “You’re here..” Alejandro sighs with his eyes closed; “Talk about reckless…” Tiwa pushes him saying; “What are you waiting for...GO!” Alejandro begins to run down the hills and runs as fast as he can towards Anastasia.
“I will leave him to you…” Valerie says as she releases purple mana and disappears leaving Tiwa surprised; “What was that?” Heidi chuckles; “Fufufu, this place is full of surprises right?” Heidi also disappears, Tiwa sighs with her eyes closed as she says; “Well, I need to help him...Jana...Suma...Zuni...time to fight…” Her spirits appear and reply; ‘Right…”
(BOOM BOOM BOOM)
El Muerto releases multiple missiles, attacking the Sombras and the warrior who tries to attack Alejandro. El Muerto screams; “Keep moving...I will protect you…” Alejandro makes a face of disgust thinking; “Ha...ha...ha..damn it...why is this so weird…”
Navajo stands in front of the entrance; “ALEJANDRO, COME TO ME...AND EMBRACE ME WITH YOUR POWER…”

Alejandro once again looks with disgust; “That is so weird…” Navajo smiles with his fangs and eyes glowing; “Yes, I need more power...more…”
(PPPUUUMMM)
Tiwa attacks Navajo in her “Shaman Priestess Mode”
She now has a black Native Americans style dress with frills at the bottom. White boots, white wrist warmers that all fringes in the bottom, and a red bandana with Native American patterns around her head. She has Coyote ears, coyote tail, wings from her back and a serpent style lasso surrounding her waist.
“Damn you...you’re from the Ysleta…” Navajo says as Tiwa punches him to the mountain. She looks at Alejandro and screams:
“GO!”
Alejandro charges mana in his right fist as he approaches the mana pillar; “Take this…”
(PPPUUUMMM)
Alejandro punches the pillar, destroying it completely. The ritual completely stops, the people who were having their mana sucked away begin to recover. Anastasia, who was hanging, begins to fall.
“ANASTASIA” Alejandro catches her, Alejandro desperately says; “Anastasia...open your eyes...Anastasia…”
“This voice...it’s him...my master…” Anastasia slowly opens her eyes, Alejandro begins to cry as he hugs her; “Anastasia, please forgive me...I was under a curse...I don’t hate you...I really like you...please don’t die…”
Anastasia opens her eyes wider and tears begin to come out as she slowly says; “Thank you...Master…”
(RRRRAAAWWW)
“What was…” A monster hits Tiwa forcing her to the ground next to Alejandro, She loses her shaman priestess mode. The monster walks towards them:
“HOW DARE YOU...THE RITUAL IS NOW RUINED! DAMN YOU...ALEJANDRO…”
The dust screen disappears revealing a 7-feet beast with a Wolf-like head, claws and fangs, and two wings on its back. The beast is brown colored and has a snake as tail, similar to a Chimera.
“Navajo?” Alejandro asks the beast. “That’s right, I have to resort to this ugly form because you made me so angry. Now...give me the girl…” Navajo demands as he growls like a beast.
El Muerto appears from behind and fires multiple missiles.
(BBBBOOOMMM)
Navajo moves at high speed and punches El Muerto towards a hill.-CRAAAASSSSSHHHH- El Muerto tries to stand up but Navajo hits him with his knee.
“Not so tough huh...maybe I will eat you instead…” Navajo opens his mouth, at that moment forms an assault rifle, the rifle has a black color with green stripes at the side; “Blaster Alchimie” (Alchemy Blaster)
(BBBBOOOOMMM)
El Muerto fires the rifle causing a green explosion. After a few moments, Navajo comes out of the smoke screen, pulling El Muerto.
Alejandro and Tiwa look with fear, Navajo lifts the Mask and says:
“That was no challenge at all.” Navajo breaks the mask, El Muerto who has his mask off, still has his hood on, preventing anyone from seeing his real face. Navajo throws El Muerto away like a pebble.
He walks slowly towards Alejandro and Tiwa; “GIVE ME THE GIRL…” Alejandro trembles; “I need to get out of here...I need to run…”
Alejandro feels pain from his left hand, the hand of the key. He remembers Jairo and Uriel, Alejandro sees Anastasia who is barely conscious and thinks; “I am such a fool…”
Alejandro slowly stands up and says; “Tiwa, please, protect her...I will handle this..” Tiwa looks at him; “Are you crazy, that thing can kill you…he took down El Muerto as if it was nothing...” Alejandro continues to walk forward:
“I know, but I am tired of running…it’s time for the Silver Hero to awaken...”
Navajo stops walking; “Oh, so you want to give me the key?” Alejandro mocks him; “Fat chance...I am going to beat...you…” Navajo begins to laugh:
“HAHAHA AND HOW WILL YOU DO THAT!” Alejandro pulls his sleeve up, revealing the silver crest:
“Like this...ACTIVATE SILVER MUSTANG COMPLETE!”

Glitched! Uplift Arc
[Winner of the April 22 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] In 2202 the System reached Earth. Thankfully it had learnt from previous uplifts and implemented an introductory arc to acclimatise the new participants rather than chucking them in the deep end. The previous practice of just dumping unsuspecting beings into a System designed for the growth of the multiverse had led to catastrophic and sub-optimal results. The return on investment was abysmal. That old trope was so over-cooked - after nearly extinguishing itself through negative returns new policy was required. That was 356 trillion local years back. Now over 5600 successful uplifts had joined the ranks of the multiverse. But the System was always learning, always growing. Still there were glitches. Mostly minor. Mere irritants really. Sometimes even they were catalysts, triggering a fresh expansion. Soon the System would understand why. Our Earth was 7912th. - Ascend - Battle - Challenge - Dominate - Expand - Gro... - Glor... - Where’s the eff word? - Glitch... File corrupted. ---END SYN---
