Hero unknown

SAM: Hallooooooooo meh readers! Welcome to meh very first ever El Tigre Fic! If you like Alvin and the Chipmunks, then you should know who I am. If you've read either my Diamond of Darkhold or Phineas and Ferb fics, then you should know that I'm not using the title of 'Me' anymore. My nickname in real life and now here is officially SAM. With capital letters. BAM! Ready? I introduce you to…EEEEEELLLLLL TIGRE!!!! And by the way…they may seem a little out of character. Sorry. Remember: first el tigre fic. ONWARD!

"Frida, are you ok?" Manny asked. Manny and Frida were walking home from school (Or in other words, the arcade) and Frida had been unusually quiet all day. Frida looked up at Manny and gave him a tight smile.

"I'm fine Manny." Frida said. Her smile never met her eyes and the tone in her voice said otherwise(and I mean what she said, not the whole smile/eyes thing). Manny looked questioningly at her until they reached the arcade. Frida dropped her backpack by her favorite game and shoved in a few extra coins she had in her pockets.

"BEGIN!!!" The screen said in bold print. The game was called Enemy Smash and you could choose whether you were the hero or the villain. Frida picked her hero and the game started. Manny watched her silently as Frida jumped and dodged and completely destroyed the level one monster.

Half an hour later, Frida was biting her lower lip and sweat was starting to bead up on her forehead. All the kids in the arcade were cheering her on as Frida dodged and attacked all of the level 47 monsters. Frida's hero avatar stood in front of the last monster until the next level. Frida had gained a lot of confidence, but she hadn't yet lost her strategy skills. Frida dodged the monster's breath of fire and ended up behind him where Frida used her weapon to destroy the monster from behind.

"LEVEL UP" The machine said. Everyone cheered and Manny was scared. He had the high score on this game and it seemed as if Frida was going to beat it, but he was happy for her at the same time. Frida's hands were like lightning as she took down the monster.

"LAST LEVEL!!!" The machine said. Frida rested her hands quickly before her final task began. She looked at Manny who was staring at the screen with a dropped jaw. Frida had beaten his high score and she wasn't even on the last level yet. Frida smiled smugly at him as he turned to stare at Frida like a robot.

"That's how ya get it done." Frida yelled over the cheering kids. Manny smiled and laughed and Frida laughed too. At least she seems like she's back to normal Manny thought as he watched Frida and laughed.

"BEGIN!!!" The machine flashed. Frida hunched over the controls and stared at the screen with intense concentration. Her avatar hero was standing on one side of the screen and the final monster was on the other. It was rare that anyone got to this level so every kid there stared at the monster in awe. This was their first time seeing it. Manny watched with the others and Frida started pressing buttons and swiveling the rotating stick (I sadly forget what it's called. And I use it all the time!!! If you know, please tell me and mayhap I can fix it! Is it an analog stick??). Her eyes went back and forth across the screen and she bit her lip. Frida just barely dodged an attack by the monster and jumped into the air. She used her last weapon and shot the monster with an incredible ray that no one knew what it was. The monster defeated, the screen blinked "GAME OVER! YOU WIN!" over and over.

350 tickets made their way out of the machine as Frida cheered with the roaring crowd of kids. Manny laughed and cheered with everyone else when he looked at the screen again. Between each flash, it showed the final scene of how Frida defeated the monster. He noticed in the corner, the smallest thing possible, an orange and black dot tied to a pole. Manny squinted and stared at it. Everyone still cheering, Manny started coming back to the celebration and clapping his hands together. Slowly, he tore his eyes away from the screen and decided it was either a glitch or maybe a flyer put on the pole. He realized he didn't care, even though it looked like it had a tail hidden behind the pole.

"Frida, that was awesome!" Manny said as they left the arcade. Frida was still smiling as she remembered typing in her name in place of Manny's while he watched. Frida dragged the bag of tickets behind her and she played a little with the prize she had gotten.

"Yeah, it was amazing. But now I have to get home. My dad said that I have to be home by 7:45 unless it's for something that's important. What he finds important. Not me. "Frida said. Then they heard something around the corner. An alarm was going off and red lights were flashing. El Oso rounded the corner running with an armful of diamonds when he stopped and stared at El Tigre that stood in front of him. Frida had run into the alley that was right next to them and shoved her bag of tickets behind an old box.

"Frida, hide!" Manny yelled. El Oso had pulled out something he never had before. An ice ray. He pointed it at Manny and took his shot. Manny missed by a few inches and shot a fist at El Oso. Manny looked over and didn't see Frida at all. Good, he thought, Frida is safe. El Oso shot again and Manny wasn't as lucky this time. His feet were stuck in the ice and Manny clawed at it as El Oso aimed his ray again. El Oso almost pulled the trigger when a shadow came over him. He looked up and saw someone standing on top of a high building with their back against the sun so they couldn't see.

"Who the heck are you, man?" El Oso said shielding his eyes. The figure's dog like ears twitched slightly and they saw the form of an acoustic guitar appear from nowhere in the figure's arms. Manny stared at the shadow in wonder.

"Is that Jango?" Manny thought outloud. He thought to himself. That can't be Jango; he doesn't have dog ears and a tail…Sartana? No, she doesn't have dog ears or tail either…

The figure brought up one arm and lightly strummed the strings of the acoustic. Just from that simple action, a massive sound wave attacked El Oso and destroyed the ray. The jewels he stole flew out of his arms and into the police's and the ice that trapped Manny shattered. Manny stared at the figure in awe. It seemed slightly short, so he immediately assumed it was somewhere around his age. The figure turned its head and looked at Manny.

"Thank you." He said softly. The figure nodded. All he could see was the figure's deep blue eyes before they turned away and jumped across building tops in the distance. Manny stood there, still in his El Tigre form and stared at the rooftop that the hero just disappeared from. Frida peeked out from behind the wall.

"I-is he gone? Did you get him?" Manny continued to stare with his mouth open slightly. The police cuffed El Oso and shoved him in the back of the truck that brought villains to jail. Frida walked over to Manny and held his shoulder. "Dude, are you ok? What are you staring at? A cloud?" She asked looking up at where the figure had left so quickly. Manny shook his head slowly.

"No. Something just saved me. Someone just saved me. I think it's a new hero in Miracle City."Manny said. He turned to Frida. "Why are you breathing so hard?" He noticed Frida trying to take silent gulps of air. Frida seemed nervous.

"Uh, I was worried! I mean, c'mon, have you ever seen El Oso with a weapon? No. I was scared about you. "She tried to explain. Manny shrugged.

"I'm ok. All thanks to that mysterious person." Manny said. "The only thing I ever saw was the blue eyes. All I ever saw was his eyes. They were so blue." Manny said. Frida looked at him questioningly and shrugged.

"Whatever. Hey! My dad is here! Maybe he'll give me a ride home. See ya Manny!" Frida yelled. She grabbed her backpack (HA! I bet you think I forgot about that huh?), she grabbed the bag of tickets and her little prize and ran to her dad. Manny was left standing there.

He turned back to his normal form and walked home thinking about how much could happen in one hour.
