GUITARRA PODEROSA
BY: VICTOR HUGO BARRERA ARELLANO
“The capital aim of the education is to
train men able to be enough themselves and to use their leftover energy in the
good of the others”
Jose Vasconcelos
In 2013 all the planet was witness of how the human beings annihilated
and to others by means of the wars. These Wars are justified in the protection
and the propagation of The Peace. The country that controlled everything, the
United States, was devastated and practically destroyed. Brazil, China and the
European Union disappeared of the map. But while to the powerful countries the
worse thing happen those, to us the Mexicans, happened unexpected facts. Then a
woman discovered in lake of Tequesquitengo in Morelos a species of white spot
in the water, which turned out to be an element formed as a result of the
contamination of the ground, the air and the water, an element that owned the
characteristics of which appear in the periodic table, and that could take the
liquid form, solid or to be a gas. Apart from which demonstrated that the
element was ductile, malleable, and hard and it was an element that could
replace many others, and even to be used for the human well-being in the
medicine, the home or the industry.
The discoverer woman called to that element CAREL, because it was the
word that formed after to join the name of her, her husband and her small
daughter. The CAREL quoted so much in the world market that stock-market
Mexican had the maximum rise in the history of the international market. The
woman discoverer became multi-archi-millionaire, she bought all the national
companies in broken bank and she made them transnational and she put them like
number one in his rank. Apart from which the most solid monopoly of all created
new companies forming to which she called YCF. As of that moment Mexico became
industrialized and became a developed country, and the worse thing, was the
power that would dominate the world. And I say the worse thing because Mexico
was not preparation to be world power, so it retook the model that the United
States had left. It was adopted from the language to the discriminating way to
treat the immigrants, being used paralyzing bullets to stop them or bullets
that not only destroyed their vehicles but 30 seconds later exploded to make
sure that no illegal one crossed to the country.
These bullets were created by the Mexican scientist hidalguean Alan
Felix, who worked for the federal government, but who was dismissed once they
discovered that Alan and his friend and colleague Joaquin Diaz sold arms with
paralyzing bullets, explosive and gas in the black market. Both scientists
escaped of the police. But that was not the problem, since the wars continued
and now the African countries were the rival to win. And Mexico when seeing
itself in the top decided to face them, clearly, after knowledge that the CAREL
also occurred in Africa. From that moment a war began that I am certainly until
has today not finished.
You want to know what happened in that war? Firstly I want you know that
my name is Victor Romero and I was born in Cuernavaca, the one that nowadays is
the capital of the country. Memory that when I left the middle school…
Cuernavaca, Mexico year
2020
Victor has graduation of the middle school accompanied by his parents,
his brothers Enrique and Raquel, his Grandmother Emma and his uncles Santy and
Jaime, parents of his cousin Jimmy, who also graduates as the middle school.
Everything seems to be surrounded by joy and pride, Jimmy obtained the first
place in sciences and Victor the best average of his generation. Nevertheless,
Jimmy does not stop harassing to Marián, the most popular and more beautiful
girl of the generation. Opposite case with Victor, who is invited by the family
of Marián so that both take the photo from the memory. Suddenly, the ceremony
is interrupted by the arrival of the Mexican army which asks for the school
like refuge for victims, since Africa had attacked and destroyed the Distrito
Federal, Nuevo León and Jalisco.
Jaime, who had lived and toiled in the United States, was call to
fulfill his promise of patriotism allowing that Jimmy, in spite of his short
age comprised of the American army that would fight for the last time against
the African…
Jimmy left us, no longer would play more soccer, neither fights with us,
no longer would learn self-defense and never the more would be humiliated by
the grandmother Emma, who threw in face to him that his father never was with
him, getting to ridicule him against all.
Mexico reorganized, named to Cuernavaca the new capital of the country
and sent soldiers to the black continent. The gringos also went to fight, many
in the world thought that the United States would resurge, but was not thus.
Nobody knows like, but Africa was divided in only 3 countries; Northafrica,
Centralafrica and South Africa and had the sufficient thing to end the United
States completely, to repulse the Mexican attack and to conquer what a day was
Europe and the Middle East.
We never returned know more from Jimmy, nor from my uncles, say that the
American soldiers were taken like hostages. I do not know, but what if, is that
in Mexico the crime occurs like the CAREL, the corruption is thing of every day
and the closing of schools forced to study via Internet or to do it in the
homes of the teachers. Fact, that without a doubt it doesn´t motivates any boy
whom likes the school and science, although from time operate me to the
experiments in the face to time.
Mexico signed a treaty of peace with Africa where they were committed
not to invade both parts and to withdraw his; nevertheless, only Northafrica
and Central Africa signed the treaty. South Africa did not appear and sent an
official notice to all the Mexicans “You take care of, because you follow, to
put where they do not call you”
What future waits for Mexico? So far from God and now it is the United
States…
In South Africa, Jimmy is taken to a concentration camp where the
African soldiers torture the Americans and execute to weakest with the purpose
of preparing an offensive against Mexico. A day, Jimmy is taken for his
execution but General Bryan, leader of the squad of Jimmy manages to prevent
that they kill the paved young who runs and escapes to the forest, while his
General fight against the African soldiers. In the forest, Jimmy looks for a
place where hide-and-seek, finding a cave in which strange grass is born that
Jimmy consumes to survive, extracting the nectar of a green flower that calms
the anxiety of Jimmy.
After weeks, Jimmy decides to leave the cave and to see the form to
escape of that place, nevertheless, in the way finds the General Bryan who
wounded and is very hurt, Jimmy tries to help him, but the General dies in the
arms of Jimmy. Event that brings about a terrible fear in the young soldier and
an anxiety that finishes in paranoia, to such degree that only the nectar of
the green flower can calm it. The effects of this flower, little by little
bring about in Jimmy a fragmentation of their personality.
Cuernavaca, Mexico 2030
In the house of the grandmother Emma, Mr. Enrique, father of Victor,
observe in the news the rumor of possible attacks from South Africa to Mexico.
Meanwhile, Victor studies on teleportation soon arrive at house the Grandmother
Emma, Rosy, mother of Victor who brings of classes to Enrique and Raquel, the

Victor, this one discovers that his brother drew him with a little strange suit
and with more sophisticated arms of those than the police uses. After Victor

Romero because to be 14 years he studies things level masters and doctorate and
that always extraction of doubts to Victor.
South African military airplanes fly on the house of the grandmother
Emma causing a great panic in the family, who discusses that the war is about
to begin and that they must warn all the neighbors, other relatives and friends
to evacuate the city and to take refuge in the churches or schools, something
that the Grandmother Emma does not accept, because she assures that she will
not leave her house, since is the unique thing that she has. The South African
airplanes sprinkle certain places of Cuernavaca with a green substance which
destroys the fields and causes that some constructions have ruptures or they
collapse.
Mr. Enrique discusses with his children and his wife on the fact to
convince the Grandmother Emma to leave the house and to accompany them to the
refuge, soon Mr. Enrique must let to his family to go help his sister Sara, to
whom her house is on the verge of collapsing and has problems to leave.
The order of Mr. Enrique towards Victor is that He takes the grandmother

to that arrives to flee to the refuge, later Mr. Romero asks his son whom he
protects to his mother and his brothers while he is not.
American soldiers are guided by General Bryan to attack and to invade
the Mexicans, who are surprised by this attack. General Bryan remembers that
when Jimmy was defragmented, he appeared like one second personality, a strong,
brave, full personality of hatred towards Mexico and that is prepared to
destroy. After that, the General remembers that he returned to the camping and
was entered in the squad of American soldiers to those who the African offered
a treatment to them “To destroy the Mexicans and they in return will give what
as much they have wished, Revenge”.
All the city of Cuernavaca is a chaos, the government has ordered to use
the army disrupt an offensive. All the people evacuate and approach a bus will
take that them to a temporary refuge. Víctor, Rosy, Enrique, Raquel and the
Grandmother Emma arrive at house taking all the important things, although
Enrique is useful to take his folder with all drawings, including the one of
the new super hero.
The disasters and the destruction to the environs take to Victor to be
hopeless and to ask his mother that she approaches the bus, but Rosy remembers
that they must wait for his father, suddenly, bombs and projectiles shake house
near taking the family hide-and-seek in their own cellar. There, Victor returns
to study the possibility of escaping by means of the system of aid of the own
house, nevertheless, his mother and his grandmother remembers to him that they
must wait for his father.
Colonel Ramos orders Lieutenant Zavala to look for on living and to take
them to the refuge, he so far will try to stop the bombings in charge of
General Bryan.
Victor manages to convince to his
mother and grandmother to escape, but then, a paralyzing bomb strikes the
electrical system of the house doing useless escapes by the cellar, reason why
all must risk to leave by the fore door of the own house where the American
soldiers make their arrival prepared to destroy.
By far care, Victor manages to guide his family until the room where he
must create distractores so that his mother, Enrique and Raquel can leave,
nevertheless, the thing complicates when the grandmother Emma is caught by a
soldier.
Even so, Victor does in front of the soldier and manages to help his grandmother;
Enrique throws some drawings in the way, including the one of Victor like super
hero. When leaving the house, Mr. Enrique arrives in his turbo—car, Rosy tells
the happened thing him and Mr. Enrique enters by Victor and the Grandmother,
while Rosy flees with her two children in the turbo-car. Tanks then military
appear in the streets shooting to them to which they try to flee in his
vehicles. The grandmother is very hurt, so she asks to his son-in-law and his
grandson who leave her, but when they try to flee, an explosive round hits to
Mr. Enrique hurling him by airs and hitting him against a tank of the Mexican
army. The General Bryan enters the house of Romero remembering the moments who
happened of there as a child filling of resentment when he sees the grandmother
Emma, to who he tries to destroy with his weapon, but Colonel Ramos prevents
that happens, then, the General overcomes the Mexican soldiers and takes like
hostage the Colonel. Victor reacts and when looking for his father discovers
that an explosive round is near him, reason why must run from return to his
house while the bullet explodes. In the other houses, everything people leaves
fleeing while the foreign soldiers rob and destroy everything what they can.
Jimmy consults with the General Bryan to whom he will execute first, the
grandmother mistreated that him or the Colonel whom he prevented him to do it.
Being in the first place the Colonel, but before the General shoots a
paralyzing bullet to him in the head, Victor arrives demolishing the General
causing who the bullet hits in the legs of the Colonel. The General very
furious, strikes to Victor, who knows to avoid and to respond the blows to him,
but at a moment, Victor recognizes his cousin Jimmy, that assures to him that
Jimmy is not, but the General Bryan, who strikes until faint to Victor. Soon
the General orders to Jimmy to destroy the whole house, reason why this one
places a time bomb and leaves running. Outside, the General observes as leaves
from Cuernavaca is under his control.
Inside the house, the Grandmother makes react to Victor so that this one
flees, because she has hurt a leg, but Victor decides not to leave to his
grandmother nor the Colonel to those who he loads and by far effort manages to
remove from the house at the right moment at which the bomb explodes
demolishing only one part of the building, surprising the General, who by
commentary of one of his soldiers discovers that house in Mexico is done of
concrete and not of wood. The dust cloud that raised the explosion causes forts
vomits in Victor who finishes by faint himself.
When observing the bodies of the Grandmother and the Colonel, the
General congratulates to Jimmy, but when seeing Victor, Jimmy becomes sad and
bothers to such degree, that he orders his soldiers not to advance more as far
as territory talks about, but will terrify to the rest of the city with crime
and destruction.
Rosy, Enrique and Raquel arrive at the refuge being received by their
other relatives, but these notify to them that Mr. Enrique, Grandmother and
Victor have still not arrived, but hope that they have left in time.
The Lieutenant Zavala and Mexican troops arrive looking for surviving
finding the bodies from the Colonel, Grandmother and Victor, who are filmed
from the camera of the press helicopter that on flies the area, giving the news
of the death of many Mexicans. Rosy and all the relatives of Victor become sad
when seeing the news, because they think that their dear beings are dead.
The Dr. Silva reviews the bodies discovering that the three still
rescued live, but that must immediately be taken care of. The General Bryan
command to bring the most aggressive people of a the city to which he flatters
the JGB to them, drug that will give force them and agility who never imagined
to have, in return they must maintain the crime in the city. Being first in
receiving the drug, Raul, a gang member met like the Serpent.
Colonel Ramos is paralyzed of the legs of by life remaining in a
motorised wheelchair by the rest of his days. The Grandmother reclaims of her
injury helping voluntarily the wounded.
All the survivors who could not flee use the school like place to
protect themselves of the criminals, who attack all hour, preventing that the
people leave their homes, locked up like prisoners. Meanwhile the bad people do
evil things in the streets, berthing to the trucks that provide food and medicines
to the colony.
Rosy, Enrique, Raquel, Esaú and all the others cry and lament the
supposed death of Mr. Enrique, Victor and the Grandmother. Enrique son says to
his brother who always were his hero, Raquel is going who to be strange him and
Esaú that will be taken revenge of the person in charge of everything.
The government manages to contact Colonel Ramos informing that he leaves
from the Mexican army traveled to South Africa, nevertheless, are not
sufficient elements, so he leaves from the survivors will be recruited to go to
the war. The Colonel argues that the soldiers receive training but that the
crime prevents them to leave to take air, to which the government responds that
he must start up the project “Garra and Poder” whose archives are sent the
Colonel via mailbox express.
1 month later…
Victor awake being taken care of by Marián, that immediately informs to
the Dr. Silva and her uncle, the Colonel, which after examining Victor, tell
the situation him that is living his city and that must be considered lucky to
be alive, although for the rest of the country does not consider it thus,
because the later images of the press helicopter and news gave to understand
that nobody that had not escaped to the attack, survived. This news bothers too
much to Victor and depresses to him, who is consoled by his Grandmother and
Marián.
At the other day, the Colonel takes to Victor with the rest of the squad
putting him to train to survive in the war, since to the unique to which he
allows himself them to rest is to the women, because the men train in the army
or are thrown to the street where they will be press of the criminals. In fact,
one of the punishments of Lieutenant Zavala to an rebellious cadet is to take
him to the rubbish of the residential zone so that he learns to survive.
Of very bad desire, Victor is put under the physical training, tactical
and mental in which Lieutenant Zavala guides with much arrogance and pride,
arriving to have an argument with Victor being had to take part the Colonel and
the same Marián.
The Colonel comments to Victor on the project “Garra and Poder” that
tries to separate the best of the squad to instruct in the justice question so
that later this team is dedicated to the capture of criminals, also the Colonel
is thankful for to Victor for to be rescued by him, and he reveals his interest
because Victor participates in the project because he was the unique who faced
General Bryan and survived. To which Victor responds that something more is
needed than “Garra and Poder” to restrain the crime of Cuernavaca.
That same night, Victor acts as waiter helping his Grandmother and
Marián to serve dinner, Lieutenant Zavala whom always loads a horse staff to
correct the undisciplined ones, does not stop making fun of nor insulting
Victor, arriving at such degree to throw the tray to the Grandmother to cause
Victor, who only aid to his grandmother to raise everything. Nevertheless,
Marián answers the insults the Lieutenant and shortly after the Colonel gets to
put order. Zavala notices Marián that the things will not remain thus and that
then, they will fix themselves.
Dinner finishes and the great majority is going away to sleep with the
exception of the soldiers whom must be on duty, Victor, for being the new is
called on to protect the entrance of the school (Place that occupies like
refuge) along with Robert, young whom the technology meets more outpost and
than is in charge to make arms.
The night seems calm, Robert and Victor talk on their lieutenant and the
arrogant attitude that has this one to direct, suddenly, a truck arrives at the
door assuring that they are the medicines and foods that the government sent to
them, reason why Robert open the door, but Victor recalls to mind in which the
government sends food and medicines to them every week and that the last
delivery was intercepted by attackers two days before, so ignites the alarm
against intruders activating the security system of the school which only
manages to prevent the passage of some raiders, because the majority has
entered, so Victor requests reinforcements, waking up to all the soldiers and
many refugees, but while they arrive, Victor and Robert face the criminals who
went to the area of dormitories.
The fight is hard and the raiders too many, so they manage to hurt
Robert, while Victor faces up them as he can.
Marián awakes very scared, a soldier asks her that he is going to help
Victor because he is wounded, being taken to a room by the soldier. When
entering the room, Marián realizes that Lieutenant Zavala and to several
soldiers corner her and they lock up next to them, two soldiers hold her making
think the worse thing her. But Zavala remembers her threat to Marián and that
this time only will give a lesson her, the soldiers raise the blouse her by the
part of back to Marián and soon Zavala punishes her with horse staff.
In the court of the school, Victor sees handicapped in force because the
criminals are many, nevertheless, Robert gives arms adapted by him to Victor so
that he uses these and he manages to stop the criminals, although some try to
escape raising the truck and starting, Victor with the aid of the new weapon,
which shoots paralyzing bullets, manages to catch them, and, better still, to
reclaim the truck with the food and the medicines that as much lack did to
them. These events are seen by the other soldiers and some refugees including
the Grandmother Emma. The Colonel congratulates Victor and he puts him of
example with his companions.
All return to sleep and the grandmother realizes that Marián is wounded
crying in her room, thus, the grandmother aid to Marián to cure her wounds,
soon Marián asks to the grandmother whom tells nothing to Victor, nor her
uncle, because lack little so that Zavala leaves to the war.
A spy tells the happened thing the General Bryan whom surprises that a
soldier dared to face the villains, then, the General order to bring the
experience shoplifters to send them that they give a scare to Colonel Ramos and
his squad.
At the other day, Victor finishes his training while Zavala remains
running to another soldier. Victor realizes that Marián is very shut up and
sad, so he decides to ask her what happens, discovering the wounds of the back
of Marián, and although this one does not mean nothing to Victor from fear of
retaliation, ends up telling everything, something that bothers Victor taking
him to return the court and to strike Zavala, that tries to strike Victor with
horse staff, but this one ends up whipping he. the other soldiers separate
them, the Colonel arrives putting order and Victor says the happened thing to
the Colonel, this one asks his niece and verifies that everything is truth.
The Colonel makes a decision; to lock up to Victor by three hours and to
remove him to the street by other three, whereas Zavala is whipped in front of
all the refugees.
During the whip, the Colonel puts
to reflect to all on the fact that if Mexico wants to free its problems with
the world, first must solve its internal problems, and that are sad that own
the Mexicans attack themselves to each other, and that is crime to such degree
that good people must live locked up. Zavala is released of its position.
Marián is useful that nobody see she and decides to take to eat Victor,
that is locked up in a container of 3x3, then, Victor asks to Marián that
remains and although this one warns to him that they can execute them or punish
severely, Victor conversation that he prefers to die next to her who in a war
that he did not initiate. Marián confesses Victor what wants for him, and then,
both spend time together remembering their days of students of primary.
The Colonel receives a call of the governor of the state who asks on
health of the wounded, the training degree that has reached the soldiers and if
the report of the vigilant satellite is really certain that showed when they
reclaimed the truck with the food. The Colonel on the other hand, asks the governor
all the resources to available put in practice the project Garra and Poder,
because he has found the indicated person to direct it. The governor also asks
the Colonel who has ready the recruits who will go to the war, since in 5 days
turbo—airplane will gather them and will take them to South Africa to fight,
aside from informing to him that the advice of the citizen voice will support
the project Garra and Poder, nevertheless, wait for results as much in writing,
as by facts, being so Powerful the advice, that he can cause that they release
the Colonel or make him Solicitor of justice of the State of Morelos.
Victor is thrown the street to fulfill the rest of his punishment. The
Spy informs the General who the soldier who recovered the truck is not in the
refuge or either the Colonel, so the General sends the thieves course to the
refuge. Victor arrives calmly at the rubbish than a day was his house. There,
he discovers the drawings that his brother Enrique threw in the way remembering
at the same time the things that had spoken. Then, Victor looks for his
Guitarra that his grandfathers gave when he left the primary along with a
newspaper, but could not take, finding the toys of Enrique and Raquel, his
masks of wrestler that his Grandmother Emma gave, taking to Victor to remember
when his grandmother gave his masks to them and that to Jimmy she did not give
anything, also Victor remembers the words of General Bryan to Jimmy when he was
on the verge of killing the Grandmother Emma.
Later, Victor observes that his house was sacked after the attack and
even there is graffitti in the walls that make responsible the Serpent of the
facts, soon Victor sees that his Guitarra was destroyed and guinea fowl with
aerosol, a fact that bothers Victor and it makes him think about that the
injustice must finish. Suddenly, noises are listened to and Victor takes the
arm from his Guitarra to attack, but account occurs that Colonel Ramos is
behind him. Then, both comment on the sad reality, but that in them is to change
it. The Colonel also asks Victor who participates in Garra and Poder like
justiciero, since he has much potential to fight the crime. Before Victor says
something, both discover that a group of shoplifters runs towards the refuge,
the Colonel warns via signaller Lieutenant Zavala, so that then, he and Victor
arrive at the refuge with the help of teleportation. Already in the refuge,
Victor looks for the way to help, finding a suit with black cape, also he takes
the paralyzing weapon from Robert and the mask is put that found in his house.
The thieves even burst in into the refuge entering by the windows and
taking what is at the hand, people, like a Marián, that the thieves take like
hostage. The soldiers try desperate to stop the criminals, but they fear to
hurt to the refugees with their arms. Everything seems to come out well for the
thieves, but a capeed and masked subject leaves the anything suddenly and
begins to shoot the criminals paralyzing them, later to face and to win to most
robust. Nevertheless, Marián is taken to the hiding place of the thieves, so
the subject robs another weapon to Robert along with his system of
teleportation which serves to him as aid to reach to the thieves, to stop his
vehicle with the explosive rounds and to tie them to all. Finally he returns to
Marián to the refuge before the astonishment and the admiration of all.
After locking up the thieves, the
Colonel reunites to all the scientists of the squad, to the Dr. Silva and
Victor, subject that says to the Colonel who accepts to enter Garra and Poder,
but that stops to be the justice man of Cuernavaca, must make him more express
than Flash, more strong than together Superman, Hulk and the Thing, more astute
than Batman and Mr. Fantastic and mainly, whom a weapon more Powerful has than
the Chipote Chillón. To which the Colonel conversation that stops that reunited
to his team, because all will work and fought because the bad peoples return to
where they belong, and they began now…
