Miracle City, New Mexico, 7:30 pm
'Twas a cool early summer night in Miracle City; young lovers were out on dates, the lights of the full moon and of the stars stabbed the abyss of the dark blue sky, and the shops were about ready to close. But in this city, peace never lasts for long…
While the townspeople were minding their own business, they paid little attention to a blanket of fog headed toward the Alsura Chemical Equipment Manfacturing Plant. Slipping through the fence, the fog then headed towards an open window. Slipping into the plant, the fog then took the shape of a young man dressed in a sky blue tunic with a curved black "F" in the center and sky blue boots, a navy blue hood and cape, gray gloves, a white belt, and blueberry (think a light shade of indigo) sleeves and tights. Beneath the figure's hood, there was nothing but a black hole with eyes that glowed a frightening shade of red. As the figure looked around, he raised both his arms, and like something out of Avatar: the Last Airbender, created a tornado that began to demolish the machines inside the plant.
"Hey buddy, don'tcha know breakin' and enterin' is illegal in this state?"
As the vandal looked up, he saw a familiar figure: Sure, he was a little taller, and he now sounded like Suzaku from Code Geass, but even he recognized the figure of Miracle City's protector, El Tigre.
"Well, you're not one for words, are ya?" asked El Tigre as he leapt down to confront this new villain, "Okay, so here's the play by play: I'm a superhero, and you're obviously a super villain. We fight for awhile, exchange some banter every few seconds, I win, you lose and go to jail, I go home and spend the rest of the night watching DBZ reruns on Cartoon Network. That okay with you?"
The figure just stood there, and said nothing, then raised his right hand and created an orb of air, then threw it at El Tigre. The thing hit Manny with concussion force of an exploding grenade, sending him flying into a wall. As Manny recovered, he thought to himself "Shit, and I thought only Aquaman could do something like that."
Regaining his footing, El Tigre saw the figure make a fist, then turn his left arm into a stream of fog with the fist still attached to it. When it hit Manny in the stomach, it felt like he was hit by Mike Tyson.
"Okay" said the Clawed Crusader as he tried to ignore the searing pain in his stomach, "that was really uncalled for. Now try THIS!"
Firing one of his grapple claws, El Tigre aimed it right at the figure's face…only to have him turn into smoke and have the claw go right thru his body. As the smoke neared Manny, landed in front of him, regained it's human shape and punched him in the face. The figure then turned into smoke again, and moved to Manny's left and punched the left side of his face, then moved to his right side. Then, while Manny was dazed, the figure punched him in the face again, but this time, hard enough to send him flying into the wall again.
Recovering from the impact, El Tigre saw the figure walk away and asked "Hey, where you goin'? You never told me why you're here!"
"Stay out of this, Rivera", the figure said in a sharp tone, "You have no idea what kind of horrors this place has dealt me. And if you ever meddle in my affairs again, I won't be so merciful. So says…THE FOG!"
And with that, the Fog turned back into his namesake, and floated out the window. As El Tigre got up, ready to head home after his humiliating defeat, he muttered to himself, 'He calls THAT merciful? I'd like to see his definition of savagery."
