Chapter 2: Dare of Might

It was finally for Billy, a.k.a. Captain Spring Green Squeaker to prove himself to face against a new challenger. As Billy laughed in a heroic manner, he crashed right into the empty barracks where Manny in his El Tigre suit was waiting.

"What the heck do you call yourself?" asked Manny.

"Er, I am known around these parts as Captain Spring Green Squeaker!" replied Billy in a heroic manner.

"And why do they call you that?" added Manny.

"Because I squeak every time I move, like this" replied Billy.

While Billy began to demonstrate his squeaker manner to Manny, the sound was quite annoying toward the kids in the room. The squeaking was quite loud enough, the old General whom was mingling with his old squad along with Rodolfo Rivera and Harold could hear it.

"What in tar nations is that horrible sound?!" cried the old General as he was covering his ears, "Are we under attack again?!"

"Where on Earth do you think that sound is originating from?!" cried Rodolfo whom was also covering his ears with the rest of the old crew.

"Say, what the heck is everyone doing?" asked Harold who apparently didn't have a clue on what was going on.

"Hey, why isn't he not affected by this annoying sound?" asked a retired soldier as he yelled at the old General.

"He's a bit slow on the edge if you catch my drift" replied the old General.

Back at where Billy was showing off his squeaking move, Billy, a.k.a. Captain Spring Green Squeaker was prepared to show off his other powers to Manny.

"So what else can you do besides annoy the heck out of us?" asked Manny.

"I can shoot yogurt out of my arm pits, want to see?" asked Billy to which Billy did shoot out some yogurt in a nearby cup, "Here try some of mine yogurt."

"That's just disgusting!" cried one of the kids.

"Yeah, I bet the tiger kid can beat the big nosed kid with the lame powers!" added another kid.

"You know what, I can beat you" said Manny as he turned to Billy, "my powers are a thousand times better than yours."

"Oh please" laughed Billy, "I can bet you anywhere, and anyway."

"Does that sound like a dare?" asked Manny.

"Yes, yes it does" replied Billy, "since we have already made our bets, let's see which one of us is the better hero."

"Fine, so where is our battleground which we prove it?" asked Manny.

As Billy thought for a few minutes, the scene changes to the war games field on the military base with Grim watching the troops train on the field. While the Reaper was awaiting for anyone to have any mishap on the military base, he turned around to see Billy and Manny were going to implement their dare.

"Oh no, Billy, that stupid big nosed idiot, he's going to trade me to some Mexican brat!" cried Grim, "Der must be something which I can do to help Billy in all of this. After all, he does have some of the lamest powers."

While Grim tried his best to come up with some sort of a strategy to help Billy out, the first phase of the dare was a simple race to see who would survive the war games field. As the signal was given for the race to start, Billy sped off ahead of Manny. He was able to dodge a variety of mines that were planted on the war games field, yet he accidently stepped on one of the mines. Luckily, thanks to his super strength, it was all of a mere tickle to Billy.

"That tickles, I want to do it again!" cried Billy as he began to look for more mines.

As Billy began to preoccupy himself with purposely jumping on mines in the war games field, Manny was well ahead of Billy to which gave Grim quite a concern. The Reaper immediately teleported himself right at Billy's side as he was about to jump another mine that was on the field.

"What da heck are you think you're doing?!" cried Grim as he appeared right in front of Billy.

"I'm just having fun being tickled by these exploding little things buried beneath the ground" replied Billy.

"Those are explosive mines you idiot" replied Grim, "look, Manny has already won the first round."

"Oh boy, I better go congratulate him" added Billy to which Grim was quite well astonished.

After Manny finished, Billy immediately went to congratulate him.

"Wow, you're pretty fast with that tiger suit of yours" said Billy.

"Face it, you'll never be able to get my El Tigre powers" replied Manny, "at least with this pathetic behavior."

"Oh yeah, let's see if we can just have a simple face off then?" asked Billy.

"Very well" replied Manny.

As the two faced off for the second round, Grim was quite concern Billy was going to loose.

"Oh this is it, Billy is going to screw up for sure" said Grim.

Manny made the first move by stretching his metallic claws toward Billy and gave him quite a slash right on his chest and shoulders. Billy managed to recover from the attack, and charged toward Manny. He then began to lift his hands in the air and began to fire yogurt at Manny. It was rather pathetic for Billy, as he attempted to defeat Manny. Grim knew this really wasn't Billy's best effort at all.

"Dis is very bad" said Grim as he couldn't believe how Billy was going to loose.

While Billy kept on firing yogurt at Manny, Manny was able to easily dodge the yogurt and kept on slashing at Billy. Though Grim enjoyed that part of where Manny slashed his claws upon Billy's face. Grim however, knew that a certain Mandy would not appreciate it if he was being literally bet off in this manner by Billy. As soon as Billy fell to the ground in defeat, Manny immediately changed back into his normal self.

"Alright Reaper" said Manny, "we had a deal."

"Yea, yea, I get your point kid, come on, let's get the heck out of here before I change my mind" said Grim to which he leaned over to Billy, "well, I can't say I didn't have a great time with ya, but hey, at least you'll now have to deal with Mandy back home."

"In here" said Manny as he showed Grim his suitcase, "get in Reaper, so that my dad won't find out."

"And the demeaning just starts" sighed Grim as he began to pull himself apart and place his pieces in Manny's suitcase.

Meanwhile, a beaten up Billy, still in his Captain Spring Green Squeaker form suddenly realized just what happen and his father Harold was prepared to take him home as the reunion was about over.

"Come on son, stop playing around with your friend Grim, we're going to head home" said Harold who was too stupid to realize Billy's current form.

"Duh, coming" said Billy who was all beaten up.
