Hi, peoples! Sorry for the wait; the TMM fanfic and what not! So let's continue shall we?

"Man, this place is like a labyrinth", thought Alex as he and Manny walked through the halls of the Flock's headquarters, then said "You sure you know where you're going?"

"Positive. I've been here twice before."

"Twice?"

"The first was when I tricked Cuervo into thinking we were dating, which I might add ended badly for me, the second was when I had to get this youth sucking device from the Flock."

"You tricked her into thinking you were dating her? But that's…"

"I know, villainous. But I was a different person then; my father and grandfather's manipulations impaired my judgment, and I honestly thought that my father would approve of it."

"…Okay, your family is really, really messed up!"

"You think?"

Hey, guys, as much as I'd like to talk about Manny's screwed up father and grandfather, who I killed off by the way, we have a story to do.

Manny and Alex: "Sorry."

Coming upon a large metal door, El Tigre and El Gato Plata thought "Hey, they might be holding Frida in here, let's check it out!"

"Dude stay out of our heads", said Manny.

Fine. Opening the door, the two superheroes looked around, and saw nothing but pictures of Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

"Must be Voltura's secret love shrine", said Manny.

"That poor, pathetic woman", replied Alex.

"Yeah, I admit, my aunt is kind of a disappointment…"

With superhuman reflexes, El Tigre and El Gato Plata turned around to see Blood Lechuza and Black Cuervo standing behind them, their laser cannons armed and ready to fire.

"…but she has one hell of a lair. Hands up. Now."

Doing as the bird themed villain told them, the two cat themed superheroes raised their hand in the air, while Blood Lechuza walked over to them.

"Man, I can NOT begin to describe how many times I've dreamed of this moment. Now all I need is the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme playing, a plate of mozzarella sticks, a throne made of solid platinum and Jessica Simpson beside me, and it really will be a dream come true."

"Yeah, yeah", said El Gato Plata, "so do you have planned for us?"

"Oh, we're just gonna blast you, that's all. Nothing as flamboyant as other villains might do, but hey, it's simpler than a pool filled with laser mounted sharks."

"So, you're just blasting us to save a few dollars?"

"Basically."

Before Blood Lechuza could even blink, El Gato Plata roundhouse kicked him across the face, sending him flying to the ground.

"You really should have had some kind of death trap planned for us. That way you could have avoided that kick."

"Shut up and burn!"

Now really pissed off, Blood Lechuza pulled out his gauntlet's flamethrower, and sent a raging torrent of flame at his archenemy, while Manny and Zoey watched…and then Zoey launched herself at Manny, ready to kill him.

"Hey, what gives, Cuervo? You're usually not this aggressive!"

"Oh, I think you know why, Rivera! You know the cause for all this is that blue haired tomboy whore!"

"How is Frida involved with this?!"

"Don't play stupid! You remember four months ago, when the villains took over the city while you and your family were stripped of your items!"

"What, that kiss? Hey, I didn't do that willingly! Frida forced that on me! Her mouth basically raped mine!"

"I don't care!"

Now really ready to kill El Tigre, Cuervo sprouted a large black blade from her gauntlet, ready to do what she swore she'd do in the last chapter.

"Wait, what'd she swear to do?"

Oh, she just said she'd ripped your heart out from your body, impale in a metal pike, and put it in her room as a trophy.

"…WHAT?!"

Yeah, if I were you, I'd start fighting back. Heeding my advice, El Tigre dodged Cuervo's blade, grabbed her by the wrist, and judo flipped her to the ground. But Cuervo then blasted El Tigre with a laser, then kicked him to the ground.

"And to think, I actually loved you at one point", said Cuervo as she raised her blade in the air, "I think I'll also add your head as a trophy. That way I'll look at your face everyday as a reminder of my victory."

But before Cuervo could do the deed, El Tigre kicked her in the abdomen, then knocked her out with a well placed punch to the face.

"Crazy bitch", he muttered to himself as he went to look for Frida. Meanwhile, El Gato Plata and Blood Lechuza continued their one on one battle. But as the fought, Blood Lechuza grabbed his opponent by the shoulders and slammed into a wall.

"Man, this is too frickin' easy!" he said arrogantly as he stared into his old foe's face, "Wait'll I tell Dad about how I finally killed you after the hell you put me and him thru! He'll have a field day!"

"You sociopath…"

"Eh, sticks and stones, my good man! I guess this is like nature, with the owl always killing and eating the cat!"

"Yeah, but there's one difference."

"Oh? And that is?"

"The owl here is an arrogant chatterbox who lets his eyes off his pray!"

And in one swoop, El Gato Plata puched Blood Lechuza in the nose, busting it wide open, causing the blood to fall out like Niagara Falls!

"AHHHHHHHH!!!! YOU BASATRD!"

"Oh, it's gonna get worse from here on in!"

Grabbing a nearby table, El Gato Plata rammed it over Blood Lechuza's back, then grabbed him by the jet back, and slammed his head into a wall.

"Now, unless you want this to continue, tell me where Frida Suarez is?"

"…Last room down the hall, you can't miss it."

"Hey, Manny, I found out where Frida is, come on!"

But before El Gato Plata left, Blood Lechuza asked "Hey, why's that kid so damn special to you? It's not like you know her or anything."

"…Because she's my little sister."

A Few Minutes Later

"Are you sure she's here?" asked Manny.

"Well, if Blood Lechuza's lying, I'll just have to kick his ass harder", replied El Gato Plata.

Yeah, guys are you sure you want to get Frida right now? Why not come back in, I don't know, three weeks?

"Oh, come on, it can't be THAT bad!"

Eh, suit yourselves, but don't blame me for what you see. Opening the door, El Tigre and El Gato Plata were shocked at what they saw: Frida, now twice the size she was in the last chapter, had eaten hall of the churros in the churro filled room she was being held prisoner in!

"Hey guys!" said Frida, oblivious to what had happened to her, "Want one? They're free!"

"…Maybe we should have listened to the narrator", said El Tigre.

"No arguments here", said El Gato Plata.

Just then, the computer monitor in the torture room came on, and on the monitor was a large picture of a red spider. When the picture vanished, there sat in a leather seat a man whose face was covered in shadows wearing a black suit with a red web pattern and a gold spider ring on his hand.

"So, you must be Manny Rivera, alias El Tigre", said the man.

"I am", responded Manny, "and you?"

"I go by many names, but my favorite is…El Arana."

"…You're El Arana?"

"Well, I'm certainly not the Octopus, now am I? I called expecting to hear from Blood Lechuza, but I see you've defeated him already. Congratulations, you've passed my test."

"Test? This was all a test?! You risked my best friend's life to test me?! What kind of sicko are you?"

"You call me sick? Then, if brilliance is a disease, then I must be sick. And don't let your guard down, Rivera: there will be more tests in the future. I swear it."

After those cryptic words, the screen faded to black, and all three heroes stood there shocked at what had happened.

"So that was El Arana huh?" asked El Gato Plata. "That guy makes Sartana look like the Pillsbury Doughboy."

"No kidding", said Frida, "And what did he mean that there'll be more tests?"

"I don't know", said Manny, "and personally, I don't give a rat's ass. That guy's a monster, and he has to be stopped he really does damage to the city. Even if it kills me, I will stop him, and I will find out who he is!"

"…Okay", said El Gato Plata, who then pulled out his cell phone, and called his and Frida's father, "Hey, Dad, Manny and I found Frida. But before you bring her home, you know a good cosmetic surgeon?"
