Author's Notes: I own nothing except possible OCs.
Changes to Certain Characters: Characters are five years older than in the series and I would appreciate if for those who know the ages of most of the characters would help with other characters because the only ones I know are Manny and Frida's ages.
Dr. Chipotle Jr.: He is now one of Manny's friends but the two do fight as hero-villain still.
Sergio: Due to him constantly changing his voice for Senor Sinstero, he now sounds like a cross between his real voice and his super-villain counterpart. And he's no longer a tiny little cowboy-loving Italian accented middle-school student...
Puma Loco: 99% Retired super-villain; meaning you won't see him pulling heists as much unless Manny talks him into it, or...he's super low on funds.
Zoe Aves (or Avez): She still has a crush on Manny and if the two fight, she will become distracted easily and she still has a vendetta against Frida but not as much.
Frida: Now has a relationship with Manny and now fights alongside him using...a giant guitar wielding robot that looks like her...(ironic right?)
Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite Pantera (I couldn't help myself): 98% Retired super-hero; meaning he mostly does his day job...whatever that is...
Manny: He is a hero/villain; meaning he decided to be both and hasn't gone cuckoo due to the indecision and his father did ground him for a few weeks because of that but otherwise nothing has changed.
Okay, enough of me talking, let's get to the story.
Chapter 1: Bad Decision
Rivera Hidden Vault...
Manny and Frida are walking through the catacombs of the hidden vault, looking at the various paintings of Manny's ancestors when the two spot a solid gold statue with rubies for eyes in the center of the room and Manny's eyes glisten before he runs for the statue but is held back by Frida.
"Uh, Manny...look at the signs." said Frida sounding unsure.
"What signs?" said Manny and Frida points to the fifty million signs around the statue.
"Do not touch!" "Cursed!" "DO NOT TOUCH!" "LEAVE STATUE ALONE!" ,read various signs littered around the statue, all pointing at it.
"Oooooooooh, those signs. I don't see anything wrong with the statue."
"I don't know Manny, the statue gives me the creeps."
"Aw you're just afraid we'll get in trouble for touching it."
"Dude...we ALWAYS get in trouble for touching stuff we're not supposed to. Remember Sartana's Ruby of Death?"
"That was an accident."
"How about the Zombies' prized Dancers of the Year Trophy?"
"They needed a better case for it."
"How about your grandpa's robotic suit?"
"Okay, so we messed up that time. Look, let's just touch the statue and leave."
"I ain't touching it." said Frida turning around and crossing her arms.
"Okay, fine. I'll touch it." said Manny walking up to the statue and reaching for it with one finger which started to shake upon coming within one inch of it.
"You can't touch it can you?" said Frida with a smirk, her hands on her hips.
"I can." said Manny before he gulped.
"Bawk! Bawk! Bawk! Bawk!" mocked Frida as she made herself resemble a chicken.
Manny grabbed the statue and showed it to her with a smirk on his face.
"HA!" laughed Manny before he was electrocuted by red lightning which originated from the statue and after a five-second jolt he was sent flying back into the wall, the statue fell to the ground with a soft 'thud' but was not damaged.
"Manny!" said Frida running over to the crater in the wall and helping Manny up, "You okay?"
"Yeah...my head feels like Albino Burrito used his Atomic Sombrero on me though..." said Manny as he clutched his head.
"Dude, what's with your eyes?"
"What?"
Frida handed Manny a small mirror and he looked at his reflection and his usually green eyes now had a hint of black around the outside edges.
"This can't be good." muttered Manny.
"Come on, let's get out of here!" said Frida as she headed for the exit followed by a worried Manny.
Two Hours Later; Rivera Apartment...
Manny snuck into his house through a window and tiptoes towards his room when the lights suddenly came on and he jumped onto a ceiling light in fright.
"Manny...why are you late? And what is with your eyes?" said Rodolfo looking at his son sternly.
"Uh...new contacts?" said Manny shuffling his feet nervously.
Rodolfo puts his Bronze Boots of Truth on Manny's chest.
"{Monotone} I touched a gold statue in the family hidden vault..." said Manny and Rodolfo looked worried upon hearing that.
"Was it surrounded by millions of signs that specifically said not to? And did it have rubies for eyes?"
"No?"
The boot is placed back on Manny's chest.
"{Monotone} Yes, it was surrounded by those signs and had rubies for eyes. I also held it in my hand."
"*GASP!* "Manuel Pablo Gutierrez O'Brian Equahia Rivera!" You touched the Cursed Statue of the Rivera's?! Manny, do you have any idea what you have done?!" yelled Rodolfo.
"It was just a statue, what's the worse that could happen?" said Manny shrugging.
At that point, the front door opened and Manny's grandpa entered riding the family donkey with a big bag of gold in his hands.
"Ah, another day of a wonderful robbery and...AY! Rodolfo! I...uh...um...what stolen gold? I don't have any stolen gold on me." said Grandpapi hiding the bag behind his back and both his son and grandson glare at him, "You'll never break me. Uh, did I walk in on something?"
"No." said Manny before the Bronze Boot was placed on his chest again, "{Monotone} I touched the Cursed Statue of the Rivera's."
Granpapi then gasped before he clutched his chest.
"Mi corazón!" (1)
Defibrillators then came out of his sombrero and went over his chest, "CLEAR!"
*BZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTT!*
Grandpapi pulls himself out of the crater in the wall and blinks twice before...
"MANNY! ARE YOU LOCO! YOU TOUCHED THE CURSED STATUE?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT WILL DO?!" yelled Grandpapi waking the neighbor's pet goat and rooster who shot glares at the Rivera household and received glares back from the Rivera's donkey and parrot.
"Um...someone mind filling me in on this 'Cursed' statue?" said Manny looking bored.
"That statue was something that no Rivera hero or villain ever wants to touch or else...*gulp*...they go bad." said Rodolfo biting his nails.
"Si. Worse than any villain in the whole WORLD, or even all the villains in the world put together! You touch it, you lose your personality, your sense of morality, everything! And become one big bad villain." said Grandpapi hiding behind the couch.
"So, I'll be a villain, no biggie." said Manny shrugging before his father grabbed him by the shoulders.
"No biggie?! When you become 100% corrupted you will kill friends and family with no sense of remorse! You will kill other villains for no reason! You'll become worse than anything the world has ever seen!" said Rodolfo shaking his son and Manny gulped.
"Is there a way to reverse the effects?" asked Manny in fear.
"Yes. No using your El Tigre powers for a whole week." said Rodolfo.
"WHAT?! A WHOLE WEEK?! ARE YOU NUTS?! I CAN'T GO THAT LONG!" yelled Manny.
"You want to be as you are or as a bloodthirsty murderer?" said Grandpapi.
"Fine." said Manny removing his El Tigre belt and grabbing a replacement belt and putting it on. He then handed it to his father but his grandfather grabbed it with a mechanical claw.
"We put this is safe, si?" said Grandpapi and Rodolfo nodded and Grandpapi walked off and placed the belt in a twelve inch Titanium vault with triple dial combination and fingerprint scanner.
"There, now Manny can't use belt no matter the temptation." said Grandpapi dusting his hands off, "Excuse me now, these old bones need sleep. I'll return gold tomorrow...{Under breath} Not..."
Grandpapi then disappeared in his room.
"I'm gonna go talk to the Original El Tigre for a while." said Manny as a green portal opened.
"Okay, be good!" said Rodolfo waving goodbye to his son before he started cleaning the house vigorously and the camera zooms in on a letter written by Maria...
END CHAPTER
So how was this? I'd appreciate constructive criticism over destructive please in reviews.
(1) English Translation: "My heart!" Also, sorry if this gag is a repeat of what happened in the one where you get to see the Original El Tigre and Manny's other ancestors, I can't remember the name of that episode.
