Chapter 2

As the sun had set in the morning of the dangerous yet beautiful and rarely peaceful city. Wakening the civilians and alike showing them the day is beginning.

In the Rivera household, the young Rivera was asleep in his room. Lying in his bed in the shape of a Tiger. Manny roused from his bed, sitting on the side and stretching. Rubbing his eyes as he waited for his sight to return for him as sat there starring into nothing.

As Manny got out of his bed, he had tripped on a pair goggles and his face landing on pair of black boots with white red stripped knee length socks.

"Huh? Black combat boots and stripped knee length socks? Whose the are these?" Manny observed them. looking upon the goggles he tripped on and seeing they were a familiar. Pulling the clues together, realizing they… were
"These are Frida's!" Manny panicky looked for the remains of her clothing. As Manny search, he faintly heard snoring.

In his bed, lied Frida vast asleep in a White Shirt and some shorts. Manny signed in relief knowing she was still dressed then thought of a pleasurable thought, looking at Frida, but deposed of his thoughts and walked out of his room and into the bathroom, preparing for day. Manny walked down stairs to the kitchen, grapping a bite to eat. As Manny ate his breakfast, he saw a note for him on the kitchen Table.

~Manny

Meet me in your house gym at
Be there or regret it.

~Michael

Manny read the note confused as he wondered what Michael had to show him and what he had to ask. Doing what the note Michael left, Manny walking down into the gym, he saw sitting in the center of the room with his sword and gun lying on the ground in front of him. He wore a sleeveless muscle shirt, with his pants from yesterday w/ his boots on as well. From the looks of it, Michael was mediating. Manny deviously smiled, walked over to Michael and was about to grasp his sword when Michael suddenly grasped Manny's arm.

"I'm mediating, not sleeping boy. There's a difference and don't ever try to touch my sword ever again. EVER!" Michael yelled at Manny, releasing his arm and throwing him back. "You're also late. But I guess it doesn't matter to you. Here's my first question. Do you know how to fight well?"

"Yes. If I didn't know how to fight, I would be covered in scars and bruises and known by everyone there at the Hospital.." Manny rolled his eyes

"fine….I'll find out in a minute anyways. Second question. Are you a hero, Villain or Anti-Hero or Anti-Villain?

"I'm neither. I've haven't decided yet."

"Find then. All my other questions. Let's just find out now. Turn into El Tigre and Fight me." Michael said, standing up and tossing sword aside.

"Fight you bare handed? I don't want to hurt you Michael. Or kill you that is"

"Believe me boy…" Michael said, setting himself up in an stance"you won't." Michael spoke his last words before vanishing.

Manny was stunned. He look fragrantly around for Michael to see where he vanished to. but all he heard were whips sounds, and faint appears in places around Manny. Quickly, He turned into El Tigre. Finally appeared behind Manny and thrust punched him from behind sending him forward but sprinted in front of him, reversed-round housed kicked him in the other direction. Fixing his stance in mid-air, Manny landed back on his feet but was knocked back down when Michael punched him in the face knocking him off thee ground, wrapping his fingers around Manny's leg and spinning in a 360 degree turn repeatedly then releasing his body. fling into the wall, Manny imprinted his whole body in the wall. Manny pulled his head out of the wall Look at up and saw Michael charging at him.

Manny caught Micheal's fist as it lied inches from his face.

"Quick reflexes. Useful…if knowing how to fully use it. but you still have much to learn. Having quick reflexes is what kept you alive." Michael said then grapping Manny's face with his other hand and ripping his entire body out of the wall and slamming it on the ground with Manny yelling out in pain and gasping for air.

Michael turned around quickly, raised his right leg and slammed it down towards Manny's head. Catching it with his hand, Manny punched Michael in the groin, yanked him towards the ground, jumped back up to his feet then grabbed Michael shirt and lifted him up and started to beat him in the face.

"I see…you fight like a hero, But you think like a villain. Your fighting is very Sloppy but interesting combat style. An Original fighting style actually.
So I see now." Michael looked at Manny then sat back on the ground. Giving him a thumbs up. "That's impressive. You're one of the only 2 people that I know now that can hit me but make it hurt enough to make me bleed. You should proud of yourself you know that boy?"

"WHAT? I don't understand . You wanted me to come down here, ask a few questions then you try kill me and you compliment on me from making you bleed?"

Michael signed in disappointment and lifted himself up. whipped his blood from his mouth and faced Manny "Listen Manny, Remember what I said yesterday of why I'm here and why I need your help?"

"No. you didn't tell me. Last night, I just went straight to bed"

"Then I must of told Frida. I'm seeking your help cause I know he'll be coming after you and your family and everyone connected to you in this city. There's something attracting him here. Knightmare is his name. He's been targeting certain places that have been suspious of chaotic activity. He's a well..." Michael rubs the back of his head. "Whatever the item is. He takes it. He's a collector of certain items. After taking what he wants. He murders the person he's taken from and everyone connected to him. After taking, He experiments with them, fusing and putting them against one another. He's become more powerful, learn more about the suspicious items he's stolen. He's taken a holy cross that's said to be blessed by god himself. Iron Greaves since Iron fends off evil. A lucky ring imported from Scotland. A glove with Talons on bolted onto them. A telekinesis shield Generator...he's struggling to figure it out though. diamond heart, worth quiet some money in it's weight. Eagle eye glasses. Then finally there's my sword and...something else he wants that's mine" Michael looked the other way, glaring at the wall.

"So he's here to take my belt, my grandpapai's sombrero and my father's bronze boots? Then how am I even a post to take him on then?" Manny yelled, throwing his arms in the air.

"I'll tell you more about him soon but it's best to but told another time. Now get going upstairs. Otherwise you'll be late for sch-." Michael was interrupted by Manny, who ran up stairs quickly yelling "SHIT!".

Manny ran into his room, waking up Frida or just throwing cold water on her with her reacting by slapping Manny then both fragrantly running down the stairs. They ran out the front doors of the building to see Michael waiting downstairs across from them on his motorcycle.

"You should take the elevator. It's more quicker."

Michael leaned on his Motorcycle as the 2 friends ran off to their school. Michael glared at the two from afar. As they faded from his sight into the distance. The sun blazing upon them and blurred Micheal's eye. causing them to tear up. wiping his eyes, Michael looks the other way and sees a big dark figure with a blunt object in his right arm as it was huge. blinking his eyes, The figure vanishes.

"He's finally here..." Michael whispered to himself then getting upon his vehicle and riding off towards Manny and Frida.
