Chapter 10

The Fighting Heart and Painful Truth

The final battle has finally begun.

Meredith grabbed Jasmine and threw her at Titan, before putting a large silver glove upon her right hand. "Hope you don't mind that I borrowed this Maria, after all I need an advantage over these culos." Raising her hand into the air, Meredith transformed into the silver clad super hero known to many of old but few young, as Plata Peligrosa. Meredith's body was soon clad in a silver tight jumpsuit, massive silver sombrero upon her head, allowing her hair to flow behind her, a red mask upon her face, eyes a sapphire blue shinning in the darkness of the room, long silver boots hugging her legs, and the massive silver glove was wrapped around her right hand and a long elbow length one on her left arm.

"Let's see how you two handle the power of Plata Peligrosa!" Meredith smirked, while getting ready to attack the Titan and his comrade.

Jasmine just cackled before using her abilities over plants to attack Meredith. "It's gonna take more than some tricks to defeat me you old hag!"

Meredith froze upon hearing that, and then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, upon her eyes opening, well let's just say there's a fire in the woman's eyes that can be quite scary, when on the receiving side of it. "You'll be dead by sunup you little witch." Firing a blast of energy at the girl, Titan made his way around Meredith, trying to attack her from behind, when a metal hand was wrapped around his tiny legs and was then thrown violently towards the other end of the statue.

"Triple X, Alice, tend to Bella and Miguel, we'll handle these two." Logan told the two super villains before pouncing on the silver armed man, wanting to keep him from his children. Logan may be many things, same with his wife, but one this was for sure; they both loved their children with all their hearts.

Derek went over to Bella and cut her down, while the other two villains were preoccupied, as did Alice for Miguel. Once the twins were on the ground, Miguel couldn't move; he was still paralyzed by seeing Jasmine again after five years. "Miguel, you've got to snap out of it, your parents can only hold off the Titan and Jasmine for so long." Alice tried to get the attention of the curly blue haired boy before her.

He didn't respond; all he did was stare at the black haired girl trying to kill his mother. Bella however was trying to move, to help her mom and dad, she wasn't about to let these two monsters murder her parents. "Miguel, snap out of it, we've got to stop them from hurting mom and dad." Bella told her brother, who finally snapped out of his stupor, thanks to his sister.

"No you can't." Derek told her from her left side.

Bella rounded on the phoenix themed super villain and gave him a death glare worthy of Santana of the Dead. "What did you just say?"

"I said-" Derek began, trying to reason with the angry Latino girl before him.

"I heard what you said, but I won't listen to it, I will be helping my parents whether you like it or not Triple X." Bella nearly shouted at the villain, before getting up and trying to go and help her parents. When a silver and gold glow stopped her, turning to face the glow, she saw two ruby, tiger shaped earrings, one glowing silver, the other glowing gold. Bella reached out and grabbed the silver one, regardless of what was going on around her. Miguel was doing the same, only he was reaching for and grabbed the golden one.

Once the earrings were in their hands, they transformed into something that none of the four watching could have expected, belts, the earrings turned into brown belts with silver belt buckles both with black T's in the center of said belt buckles. "What the, belts, why are they belts?" Miguel asked no one in particular, however he was given an answer all the same.

"Because those belts are more powerful that you could imagine child, and you two need to put them on, and then spin the buckles." The voice of Rodolfo Rivera came from where he was leaned up against one of the metal walls, along with the other captives, who were trying to stay out of the way of the battle going on.

Bella and Miguel glanced at each other, before deciding to listen take the old man's advice. Putting the belts around their waists both spun the belt buckles and what happened next could only be described by the elder generations as amazing. Silver fire engulfed Bella, while gold fire engulfed Miguel, transforming the two children, into two infamous hero/villains from the past, La Tigressa and El Tigre; however, something was different about them from the two hero/villains from 20 years ago.

For starters, Bella, aka La Tigressa, seemed almost taller when she transformed: her outfit changed to a brown vest with yellow buttons, with a dressy white undershirt, with a red tie like scarf, black elbow length gloved with grey wristbands, a bright red skirt that had pointed ends like razors, black leggings leading to her red cowgirl boots, then there was her face, Bella's eyes went from dark brown to bright green, and wrapped around the top half of her face is a black mask, which compliments her silver hair, and is also complimented by her black tiger ears.

Then there was Miguel, his transformation into El Tigre was truly strange, his outfit was similar to Manny's but vastly different. The suit itself was caramel brown in color, with five golden stars upon his body: two on his legs, one the chest, and the other two on his hands, his gloves were black, with long silver claws, the belt around his waist, a golden and black striped tiger tail coming out of the back of his suit, a black mask on his face, sapphire blue eyes now a startling shade of purple staring back at those before him, his sky blue hair now a shade of dark gold, and no longer curly it was splayed atop his head, with black and gold ears popping out atop his head from beneath his hair.

"NO!" Jasmine exclaimed, she was about to attack the two new heroes, when Bella attacked first. She was acting purely upon instinct and years of training in self-defense. She grabbed Jasmine's arm, and using the momentum, she spun on her heel, and threw the plant using villain into her partner, nearly knocking the two unconscious.

A short while after Jasmine hit the Titan; she got back up and thrust her hands before her, creating millions of vines to entrap her enemies; however it didn't go quite like that. Miguel went in front of the vines and using his claws sliced all the vines into nothing more that little pieces of mulch.

The Titan growled at seeing his partner fail, so he took matters into his own hands and using his metal arms, shaped them into large axes, and thrust them at the twins. Neither dodged, instead Bella jumped into the air, then after placing her hands to her chest, she pointed her legs towards Titan, and began spinning; as she span the axes were coming at her, sadly for the Titan, his axes were useless against the blades of La Tigressa's skirt; once the attack was over, did she fall back to the ground and landed perfectly on her feet.

Both villains became increasingly angry, their attacks becoming more hectic and less thought out, and the counter attacks by Bella and Miguel became more coordinated, more precise, and then finally their lifelong enemies are defeated. The twins and their parents walked up to the two villains, relieved that the villains were down, and angry that because of these two Meredith and Logan had to leave their home and families in the first place.

"Now you won't be able to hurt our family anymore." La Tigressa told the two before her feet, El Tigre right next to her, a glare on his face and in his purple eyes.

Both groaned, but neither got up, too much pain in their bodies to even make them want to move, let alone to even get up to get away from the family in front of them. Meredith took off the silver glove on her right hand, the silver outfit disappeared, and the dark blue leather outfit returned. Logan wrapped the two villains in chains that were kept in his cybernetic arm, he and his wife turned to face the others in the statue who had been staring at the family since the battle started, while his children along with Derek and Alice watched over the two trapped villains.

"If you want to ask us, then do it already." Meredith stated, her tone neutral, while her emotions were swirling beneath the surface.

Nikita and Anita both walked away from the wall they had been against to keep out of the battle. Normally they'd be in the fight, but though it better to watch the two adults fight, to see if they really were who they think they are. "Is it really you, Frida? Is it really you little sister?" Both asked at the same time, terrified and nervous all at the same time.

Rodolfo and Maria were next, along with Black Cuervo and Django of the Dead, both looking at Logan. He didn't say anything and none of the four in front of him expected him to. "Hijo, Manny, is that you?" Maria asked her voice the same tone as Anita and Nikita's full of hope, but her face along with the others portrayed terror and nervousness.

Both leather clad adults were silent, before both reached up and began taking off their helmets. Everyone before the two waited with baited breath, hoping, praying, and fearing what they'd all see. Everything they saw was in slow motion almost and the first things they saw was colors and then the faces: first was the hair, one sky blue, the other dark brown; next was the skin tone one a creamy color but not pale, the other a warm shade of brown. Then there were the eyes, one pair was sapphire blue, the other caramel brown with a scar over the right eye. After the eyes were the noses, one gently pointed and the other hard but slightly rounded, and then at last were the lips one a pair of full red lips, the other common on any male.

Once the helmets were completely off, all six before the two once thought of as dead children were adults and standing there before everyone. They were Frida Suarez and Manny Rivera.

"Hey Nikki, Anni, been a long time huh." Frida told them, a sad smile on her face.

"Mamma, Papa, Django, Zoe, how've you been the past 20 years," Manny asked, the same sad smile on his face as his wife.

None of the six answered, all of them just stood there in shock, before Maria went up and slapped her son clear across the face. Manny did nothing to stop his mother; neither did Frida when her sisters slapped her as well. They did nothing, if only because they know that this is what they deserve for leaving and never telling them what happened, that they were alive, that they married and had a family, everything.

"Why didn't you tell us you were alive?" Maria demanded, tears falling down her face.

"We couldn't it was too dangerous, Titan would've stopped at nothing to ensure our deaths and the deaths of those that we held dear. We knew it was best to leave and never return until the time was right. That time was now, we can't say we're sorry for leaving, because we're not, we did what we had to do and nothing can change that." Manny told them, his eyes portrayed sadness and pain.

Everyone was silent again, before Django asked, "What happened that night?"

"Manny and I were on a secret date from the prying eyes of my father, we were having a midnight picnic in the dump. Nothing much, just some churros and sandwiches, only after about ten minutes on our date did the Titan attack us. We were unprepared for his sudden strike but we retaliated all the same. I went into the control room of the crusher, while Manny tried to distract him on the ground. It wasn't enough, he came prepared, Jasmine over there is a creation of his, the same kind of creation that Silver Wolf was; a piece of himself, however where Silver Wolf is the good that was once within him, Jasmine is part of the evil." Frida began and then stopped to take a breath.

"Jasmine grabbed Frida with one of her vines and threw her into the crusher. I was distracted by seeing Frida in danger and the Titan used that to his advantage, by throwing me in as well. I was able to get Frida to the shoot before the machine started, along with most of myself. My right arm was still in the crusher when it was turned on and ended up ripping off my entire arm." Manny continued for Frida, while placing his left hand on his right arm replacement. "After we were out of the dump, we left for Silver Wolf's house; he treated our wounds, gave me a new arm, and gave us a way out of town. After that night we left, we moved around a lot, going from country to country, trying to outrun the Titan and Jasmine, until finally we came back home, with our children."

No words were said, and none needed to be said. Even from just looking at the two before them, what they did took everything they had to do, and not just that they even had their own kids as well and most likely raised them on the road. And it showed how strong they were, both Miguel and Isabella have the fighting spirit/heart that all Rivera's have, and even with the painful truth that Manny and Frida lied to them. They could understand; if only to some degree.

ET-ET-ET-ET-ET-ET-ET-ET

After a week, everyone in Miracle City now knew of Manny and Frida Rivera's return, along with the introduction of their twin children Isabella Maria Carmela Carmelita Zoe Rivera and Miguel Antonio Rivera. Manny took back his role as Miracle City's resident Hero/Villain, while Frida made it her job to put together local concerts to keep kids interested in music and make the city more fun than just dangerous. Ironically enough she still had a lot in common with her family, even if she was once a tomboy who loved, and still loves, Rock and Roll. Her job directly ties in with the governmental system, just like her deceased parents, and police chief sisters.

Bella and Miguel finally given a home to stay in, went to school regularly, and ended up having quite a few friends in High School. There were even two familiar faces later brought to the Rivera casa as for Bella a boyfriend who happens to like black, and being a bad guy; while Miguel preferred a pretty girl in dresses and her cool red guitar.

All in all things have changed for Miracle City and it seems to be the best change ever, the return of two familiar faces, and two others becoming familiar themselves, especially when it came to either stopping crimes or causing a few of their own. The Rivera family was whole again, the city back to normal, and everything was right with the world.
