"Surrender now Sartana!" Rodolfo shouted as he and his son fought against her.

As usual she was trying to takeover Miracle City and as usual Manny and his father would try to stop her. So far it seemed like a normal day, Sartana would cause mayhem and the Riveras would stop her little did Manny know that his life was about to change drastically.

"You Riveras won't stop me this time!" She cackled. "Not when I have this!"

She held up a black skull with two rubies where the eyes were.

"What is that?" Rodolfo said.

"The skull of fate. With this I will rule the world!"

"Right and I'll commit evil without getting grounded." Manny said in disbelief.

White Pantera and El Tigre charged at Sartana who began blasting her guitar at them. They dodged her blasts with their super speed. Manny tried to make a break for the guitar and destroy it.

"Manny be careful!" His father warned.

But it was too late. The blasts already hit the boy sending him flying into a wall. It hit his head so hard that it knocked his brain against his skull. The last thing he saw before blacking out was Sartana raising the skull up and chanting something. When he woke up he was on the ground and it was night time.

"Oh my head." He thought.

When he stood up he found that he was in his normal clothes and his belt was gone.

"Hey where's my belt?" He called in a deep voice. "What the...What happened to voice?...Hmm I guess it finally changed like Mom always said. That aside no doubt Sartana took my belt again. Better get it back."

He brushed the dirt off himself and made his way toward Sartana's lair but to his surprise and horror, he was in a completely different place. There was fire everywhere, people were in chains working as slaves, and those who weren't were either committing crimes or begging.

"What the heck?" Manny gasped. "How long was I out for? And where the heck am I?"

He spotted an old man digging around in the garbage for something.

"Um..Excuse me?" He said tapping on his shoulder.

"Ahh! Who are you?! And what do you want?!"

"Whoa calm down old man! Listen I was wondering can you tell me where Miracle City is?"

"What are you blind? You're standing right in it!"

"What? This can't be Miracle City."

"Well it used to be Miracle City, now it's Sartana City."

"Sartana City?! What kind of crazy place is- wait a minute." Manny took a good look at the old man, he looked very familiar to him. He was more skinny and frail than he remembered and his black hair was now gray but he'd know that eye patch anywhere. "Mr. Suarez, is that you?"

"How do you know my name?!"

"It's me! Manny Rivera."

"Impossible! He's dead!"

"WHAT?! What do you mean he's dead?!"

"What are you deaf or something? I'm mean he's dead, D-E-A-D, Stone cold, kicked the bucket, end of the line."

"But I can't be dead!"

"Well you're not dead but Manny Rivera's been dead for seventeen years."

"That's crazy! How can I- wait how long did you say he's been dead?"

"Seventeen years."

"That can't be true. I'd be a grown by now."

"Then you better take a good look at yourself in mirror." He pulled a slightly cracked mirror from the trash can and held it up. Manny gasped in shock when instead of seeing a thirteen year old boy he saw a thirty year old muscular man with a goatee.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" He felt around his face to make sure it was him. "This can't be happening!"

"You okay?" He asked.

"Mr. Suarez, what's happened?" He asked. "Why aren't you chief of police? Where's your family? What's going on?"

"Sartana that's what! Somehow she became the evil dictator of us all. I lost my job, and me and my wife to work as slaves. Then my wife died and I got too old to work so now I'm beggar."

"But what happened to your daughters? What happened to Frida?"

"Frida?"

"My best friend? Your daughter?"

"Frida? My Frida. They took my Frida. They took her away."

"What do you mean they took her away?"

"How do you know Frida?"

"It's me Manny!"

"Liar! Where is she?! Did you hurt her?! I'll kill you!"

He tried to strangle him but he was too old so Manny easily got away and ran off. He couldn't believe what was happening. What was happening here? Where were his parents? His grandfather? He began searching for them.

"Mama! Papa! Grandpapi!" He called.

"Keep it down will ya!" A man called angrily. "I'm trying to get some sleep!"

"Sorry. Hold up, Davi? Davi Rouccu?"

"That's what my name."

"Why are you sleeping in a box?"

"Because I live here."

"You live here?"

"Yeah not much for a thief."

"You're a theif? But you always wanted to be a hero."

"That was the old man and besides there are no more heroes."

"What are you talking about? What about the Riveras?"

"The Riveras? I haven't heard that in a long time."

"Do you know where they are? White Pantera? Maria? Puma Loco?"

"You wanna find Puma Loco check the cemetery. That's where he's buried, he died of heart attack ten years ago. As for Maria and White Pantera...Well can't help ya. But hey you look like you could use a hug."

Davi hugged him.

"See ya!"

Then he ran off, Manny checked his pockets.

"Hey he stole my wallet! Dear God this is a nightmare. I gotta find my parents wherever they are."
