EL TIGRE! – Fusion Born! Birth of La tigresa Negra!
Chapter 10 – A day At the Beach
The next morning had come. Manny was fast asleep in bed sleeping heavily. Ave had already awoken. She sat there on the bed and watched Manny as he slept peacefully. Her eyes were blank as she stared at him, she didn't blink once. She looked closer at his face. Manny had a few scars on his face. Ave placed her hand on his cheek.
"You must have gotten these from yesterday did my Manny?" Ave whispered. She glided her finger down one of the scars. "And bruises also…" she then glided her finger around his lips.
Ave then licked her lips and smiled "Just let me kiss you already…" she said lustfully.
"Hmnngh?" Manny groaned as he slowly starts to open his eyes.
"Waking up I see…" Ave said softly with a smile.
"Frida?" Manny said in drowsy tone.
"Nope," Ave said with a giggle "Guess again."
Manny lies up and rubs his eyes. He flinches a bit and starts moving his whole right arm around. "Ow…man…" he groaned.
"It looks like you had a rough night hm?"
Manny looked at her "Uh…yeah…it's a long story…" he said rubbing the back of his neck.
"I see, want me to give you a message?" Ave asked with a smile.
Manny looked at her and blushes deep red "A-a message?" he said hesitantly.
Ave nods "Mhm, you deserve it! Come let me!"
"Uh ok…" Manny said turning around and sits on the edge of the bed. Ave moves closer to Manny and places her hands on his back. Ave glides her hands around Manny's back around his shoulders.
"Take your shirt off…" Ave said
"What?"
"It'll be easier…and more effective…" Ave said in a hushed lustful tone.
"O-o-ok…" Manny said, his face was completely red and he took off his shirt. Ave slides her hands down Manny's bare back. She slowly started rubbing his shoulders and messaging his back. Manny twitches a bit at the pain, but soon the messaging was starting to feel satisfying. Ave's cheeks were flushed, the more she rubbed the more she became fixated.
"W-wow Ave…you're really good at this..." Manny said with a smile
Ave then placed her head on his back and wraps her hands around his chest. Manny jumps and turns around and looks at Ave.
"A-Ave?" Manny said to her, his face was red as a cherry.
"Why…are you so soft and…mmm…" Ave moaned.
"AVE!" Manny quickly escaped her grasped and falls to the floor
"Hm? What? What did I do?" Ave said looking at Manny, blinking in confusion.
"I…I just ummm…you see umm…" Manny tried to come up with an excuse but his mind was too flustered and shocked.
Ave then started to giggle, the giggle then turned into a laugh.
"H-Hey what are you laughing about, what's so funny?!" Manny said embarrassed.
"Shy Boy~" Ave said with a wink.
"I can't take this…" Manny said laying flat on his back and steam started coming from his face.
Ave then gasped "HEY! I GOT AN IDEA!" she said excited.
"Oh boy what is it?" Manny asked looking at her.
"Let's go to the beach!" Ave said smiling at him.
"The beach?"
"Yeah, come on! Pleassse?" Ave begged giving Manny the puppy dog eyes.
"Well, yeah sure we can do that." Manny said smiling at her.
"YAY!" Ave jumped off the bed and lays on Manny hugging him tightly.
"Heh…no problem…" Manny said chuckling
"TO THE BEACH IT IS!" Ave said excited.
…
"DAMN YOU! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS COMING HERE TO START TROUBLE?!" Screamed a Bandit.
"Shut up!" Marcus shouts as he punches the bandit in the jaw sending him flying into the air and landing flat on his back. Marcus was fighting a bunch of bandits inside a bar. The entire bar was wrecked, and everyone that he was fighting was laid out on the ground unconscious. Marcus spits on the ground and walks to the bar door and kicks it open.
Marcus walked down the street with his hands in his pocket, mumbling and cursing under his breath. The events that happened last night with their fight with Gwendolines son, Xentos, had really gotten to Marcus.
"Dude…did you just beat up a bar full of bad guys?" Manny said catching up with Marcus.
Marcus turned around and glared at Manny "Problem?" he said in frustrated tone.
"Whoa dude…did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?" Manny said holding his hands up
"Oh just shut it already…I didn't get any wink of sleep last night." Marcus groaned "Not to mention i woke up sore and stiff…I needed to let my anger out on something…so I went to the bar and just kicked a bunch of bad guy ass. It's amazing how many criminals go into a damn bar…"
"Well you certainly took care of some trouble that could have happened. Anyway I got a suggestion that could cheer you up!" Manny said with a smile.
Marcus grumbled and turned away from Manny.
"I'm going to the beach with Ave! Wanna come along?
Marcus stood up straight and slowly turns to Manny "Ave…and…beach?" he whispered
Manny rolls his eyes "I knew that would get you interested…"
"I get to see Ave…in a bikini?" Marcus said as his imagination ran wild.
(Marcus Perverted Imagination)
"Maaaarcusss," Ave said in a playful tone while lying on a towel with bare back exposed and wearing no bra. "Mind putting this sun screen on my back please?~"
Steam was coming out of Marcus ears as his entire face was blushed red "Y-YES AVE!" he said as he squeezes some sun tan lotion his hands and rubs it on her back.
"Oh!~ so cold!" Ave squealed
"Heheheh…what about here?" Marcus said with grin across his face.
Ave Gasped "Oh no! not there! Marcus you perv!~" Ave moaned
"heheh baby you don't know the half of it!" Marcus
"Oh~" Ave moaned more.
(End of Marcus Perverted imagination)
Marcus stood there with a weird perverted grin across his face and chuckling. Manny just stood there staring at Marcus with his eyebrow raised.
"Umm…Marcus?" Manny said snapping his finger in his face trying to knock him out the trance. "Hello? Is there anyone home?"
Marcus snapped out the trance and shook his head repeatedly and suddenly grabs Manny by his shirt and yanks him forward closer to him.
"WE NEED TO GO NOW!" Marcus said hastily. "NOW NOW NOW!"
"Well that got you in the good mood!"
"TO THE BEACH MANNY! THE BEEEAAACH!" Marcus screamed pulling Manny as he ran to his house.
"HEY! YOU DON"T GOTTA DRAG ME!" Manny screamed as he flinging around in the air.
…
The sound of the ocean waves and cheerful people filled the ears of Manny and Marcus as they entered Miracle city beach. Marcus took in a deep breath and exhaled.
"Ahhh man. I haven't been to the beach in long time!" Marcus said stretching his arms. "AHAHA! BEACH BABES HERE I COME!"
"You ever tired surfing before?" Manny asked
"Actually no, but I'll give it a shot!" Marcus said excited.
"Surfing huh? That sounds pretty fun I'll give it a shout to!"
Manny and Marcus turned around. Manny and Marcus faces both turned completely red when Ave walked to them wearing a tightly laced purple one piece swim suit. Marcus mouth lung open and he started to drool.
"You know something idiot?" Ave said glaring at Marcus "It's rude to stare at someone with your mouth open…" Ave closes Marcus mouth and shoves him aside. Ave then smiles at Manny.
"So…how do you like it?" Ave asked tilting her head.
"It…uhh…it really looks really good on you!" Manny said embarrassed.
Ave giggles "Thanks shy boy." She smiled. "Now come on, let's go out and swim!" she grabs Manny's hand and runs to the water.
Marcus gets on his feet "WAIT! WAIT FOR MEEE!" he said as he heads towards the water. As Manny and Ave entered the water Ave tugs Manny forward making him fall to the water. Ave giggled and Manny laughed and smiled. Marcus jumps in the doing a cannonball splash, splashing water and Manny and Ave.
"Ahh Man! This is awesome!" Marcus said happily.
Ave then sneaks up behind Manny and wraps her arms around his neck, squishing her breast up against his back. Manny yelps and blushes deep red.
"A-Ave!" Manny whispered
"What's wrong? Don't like?" Ave said in a teasing tone.
"Uhh…uhh…uhhhhhhh…" Manny said laughing nervously. Marcus looked over at them with a sour look on his face.
"Lucky…son of a bitch…" Marcus thought to himself. Marcus quickly turned around and looked behind him. He looked off at the far distances, focusing his vision at the small island.
"What is it?" Manny asked looking at Marcus.
"I thought…never mind…" Marcus responded.
On that small little island, hiding in the bushes, clutching his binoculars was Sergio. He peaks his head out the bushes and puts his Binoculars around his eyes and watched Manny, Ave and Marcus swim around in the water.
"There's no way he could have saw me…that Marcus is annoying…" Sergio said zooming in on Marcus. "And then there's…" Sergio then looks at Manny. "Huh? Who is that?!" Sergio spotted Ave, who had his arms wrapped around Manny. "I've never seen her before…she looks like Frida…no... She looks just like Zoe…a mixture of both Frida and Zoe."
Sergio puts away his Binoculars and rubs his chin. "But…what happened to Frida? Come to think of it I haven't seen her in a long time…the same goes for Zoe." He said walking over to his Robotic Mech suit. "No matter, I'll make that stupid Manny Rivera suffer as always!"
Sergio gets into his mech suit with a grin across his face. "Now…get ready to face against Sinister Siniestro!" he said, his voice became deeper and manly. He activates the thrusters to his suit and dashes into the air leaving the small island he was on.
Manny, ave and Marcus turn their attentions to sky, seeing Sergio fly towards them. "Sinister Siniestro?!" Manny said shocked.
"I knew someone was over there…" Marcus grumbled under his breath
"Hey…is that..." Ave scratches the top of her head.
"Well well, if it isn't EL tigre and the hot headed rodent himself Marcus Dupree! Having a little fun in water?" Sergio said hovering over them.
"Ugh…I hate that stupid annoying western accent he does…" Marcus said rubbing his forehead. "Couldn't you wait till we weren't doing anything to come get your butt kicked?!"
"That's enough talking you vermin!" Sergio roared as he starts firing lasers at the three of them. Manny, Ave and Marcus quickly ducked under water and avoided the lasers that were firing at them.
Marcus clenches his fist and fires a flame fist right at the water and straight at Sergio. Sergio moves out the way nearly getting hit by the fireball.
"WHAT? BUT HOW IS HE ABLE TO SHOOT FIRE OUT OF WATER?!" Sergio said in disbelief.
Marcus dashes out the water and high into the air and lands on the back of Sergio's mech suit. "Just in case you are wondering Art of fire can shoot up to heat as the same temperature as the sun or even greater!" Marcus said with a smirk "So It doesn't matter if am under water the fire is going to hit no matter what!"
"Darn you! Get off me!" Sergio screamed flying around trying to knock Marcus off his mech suit.
"HEY MANNY GET YOUR DAMN BELT AND HELP ME OUT ALREADY!" Marcus shouted trying to stay on.
"JUST HANG ON!" Manny said as he and Ave get out of the water and runs to get their belts.
Sergio reached on his back and grabs Marcus and clenches him tightly, and then tosses him hard into the water. Sergio quickly turns around seeing Manny and Ave make a run for their belts.
"NOT SO FAST YOU VERMIN!" Sergio shouted shooting one large laser blast at Manny and Ave. The laser hits the ground near them causing a small shock wave and knocks the two of them to the ground.
Sergio quickly flew down and grabs Ave off the ground.
"AVE!" Manny screamed
"YOU BASTARD LET GO OF ME!" Ave growled struggling to get free.
"Ahaha! Settle down little lady! I won't hurt ya!" Sergio said with a smirk.
"AVE, DON'T WORRY! I"LL SAVE YOU JUST STAY CALM!" Manny said to her.
Ave then looked down at Manny. "He'll save me?" Ave thought for a moment and smiled "That'd be really nice…being saved by my love…" She smiled warmly.
Manny grabs his belt and spins the belt buckle transforming into EL tigre. A loud explosion came from the water behind Sergio. Marcus lands on the ground with steam coming off his body. He pops his neck and cracks his knuckles.
"Ok…I'm going to beat this bastard black and blue…" Marcus said savagely
"So it's two on one eh?" Sergio said raising an eyebrow. "Well then…let's even the odds shall we?"
Sergio then takes out a remote control from out of his pocket and presses the red button. On the island where Sergio was hiding, a large ground door opened up, and large robotic horse came dashing out, and went straight into the sky.
"What the hell is that?!" Marcus said looking at the Robotic horse.
The Robotic horse started rapidly firing lasers at Marcus. Marcus dodges each laser that was shot at him. The Robotic horse dashes toward Marcus attempting to ram into him. Marcus jumps out the way nearly missing him.
"HA! There's no way that you could even defeat my trusty robotic steed!" Sergio said with confidence.
"Oh is that right?" Marcus said looking up at the robotic horse "Challenge accepted..." he said with a smirk. Marcus ran toward the robotic horse and, he covered his right hand with flames and launches a flame fist at the robotic horse. The fire fist hits the horse directly, but the attack didn't hardly do any damage the robotic horse at all. The robotic horse charges his laser and fires it straight at Marcus. The laser missed but the shock wave knocked Marcus straight to the ground.
"HA! So much for your fire that's equal to the sun!" Sergio said laughing. "My robotic steed is fire proof! I can travel through molten lava if I wanted to!"
Marcus gets to his feet and turns to the Robotic steed "Tch! Is that right? Well then let's put that to the test shall we?"
Marcus clenches his right hand tightly, and instantly red flames covered his entire right arm. The robotic steed charges his laser and fires it rapidly at Marcus. Marcus jumps high into the air avoiding the lasers that were fired at him, and then dashes straight into the robotic horse.
"LET"S JUST SEE HOW FIRE PROOF YOUR DAMN HUNK OF JUNK IS!" Marcus roared "ART OF FIRE ERUPTING BURNING FIST!" With one punch, Marcus strikes the robotic horse straight in the face. The robotic horses face was completely destroyed in one blow. The fire stream from Marcus punch went down to the horse's body, destroying its entire inside.
"MY HORSE!" Sergio cried
Manny launches his grappling hook arm at Sergio. Sergio slides over to the left dodging it. Sergio grabs Manny's grappling hook chain and yanks him forward. Sergio points his laser straight at Manny and fires, directly hitting him.
"AHHH!" Manny screamed in pain and falls to the ground.
Ave eyes widen "Manny…" she whispered. Sergio then let's out a loud manly laugh.
"How did you like to see your boyfriend get- huh?"
Ave gave a menacing, dark and evil glare at Sergio. Sergio lets out a yelp and drops Ave to ground. Ave lands on her feet and walk over to Manny.
"Manny…are you ok?" Ave asked softly.
"Y-yeah…I'm fine. No need to worry..." Manny said winching a bit.
Ave walks over to where she had sat her belt. She wraps it around her waist and transforms into La Tigresa. She turned around towards Sergio with an evil dark glare.
Sergio was shaking with fear. That glare that she gave him froze Sergio. Ave extends her claws sprints at Sergio with intense speed. Before Sergio could even react, his entire mech suit was cut into pieces. Sergio fell to the ground and he shakes his head, and then slowly turns around to see Ave glaring down at him.
"Oh look…you don't seem so big and strong now do you?" Ave said darkly.
Beads of sweat came running down Sergio face. Ave smirks at him and extends her claws "Let's see how well you bleed little man…" she said.
"AVE STOP!" Manny yelled running to her and grabbing her wrist. Ave looks at Manny. Manny stared into her eyes and Ave stared back. Ave then started to calm down and she retracts her claws.
"But Manny…he tried to…"
"I know but…but you can't just…take people's lives!" Manny said, speaking softly.
"I…I'm sorry…." Ave said sadly. "You…you don't hate me do you?"
"What? No of course not! Just don't try and get carried away…"
"Umm…i…I umm…I think I'll just go now!" Sergio said letting out a scream and then running off as fast as he could.
Ave then wraps her arms around Manny's neck and hugs him tightly. "I'm sorry…" Ave whispered once more.
"Ave…its fine…" Manny whispered to her. Manny then looks over at Marcus who was staring at them.
Marcus had a worried, but serious expression on his face.
…
The three of them had left the beach. Ave was holding Manny's arm tightly staying close to him. Marcus was walking behind them, he examining closely. The three of them had arrived outside Manny's home. Manny had opened the door and was about to head inside.
"Hey Manny, can I talk to you for a second?" Marcus said. Manny turned to Marcus and looks at Ave.
"Can you give us a few minutes?" Manny asked.
"Sure…see you soon…" Ave said kissing his cheek and she goes inside the house.
Manny closed the door and turns to Marcus.
"It's about Ave isn't it?"
"You think?" Marcus said raising an eyebrow.
Manny sighed and sat on the stone steps and rest his chin on his knees.
Marcus looked at Manny for a moment and leans on the wall "Something is forming within her Manny…" Marcus said looking up at the sky.
"What?"
"It's getting stronger day by day. The more it grows the more it gets to her head."
"Wait wait, just hold on a second!" Manny said springing to his feet "Does this have something to do with that resurrected guy?!"
"Well…" Marcus rubs his chin "The power that formed Frida and Zoe together is, well…it's becoming something different."
"What do you mean something different?" Manny asked confused.
"Gwendolines magic and Frida and Zoe's own souls are slowly merging. It's causing something to stir up inside her…and it'll probably get to her head..." Marcus explained.
"So…what do you think will happen to her?" Manny asked a little shaken up.
Marcus crosses his arms and closes his eyes thinking for a moment. "I really don't know to be honest…" he said opening his eyes and looks at the ground.
Manny eyes widen for a moment "Marcus…you don't think that…that they can't unfuse if this keeps going on do you?" he said with much fear a paranoia in his voice.
"Now that, I defiantly don't know Manny," Marcus said with a sigh "How has she been acting around you lately besides being very clingy?"
"W-well…that's pretty much it…just clingy…and very…ummm…well…" Manny blushed and rubbed the back of his head embarrassed.
"Never mind never mind…" Marcus said fanning him off. "The only thing we can do is just do what we've been doing. And as for gwendoline…we still have no idea when anything will go down."
"Yeah…"Manny said silently.
Marcus scratches his cheek and walks over to Manny and places his hand on his shoulder "Look…things seem pretty serious I know, but right now all we can do is wait and prepare."
Manny looked up at Marcus and nods "Right…I know." Manny said, feeling a lump appear in his throat.
Marcus nods "I'll see you later Manny." Marcus said as he turns around and walks off.
Manny watched for a moment as Marcus walked home, and then went into his home. He went upstairs into his room and opened the door, to see Ave lying on the bed already fast asleep.
Manny went over to the bed and sat down on the edge. Manny couldn't stop thinking about the possibilities of not seeing her, his best friend ever since they were little, Frida, her bright blue hair, her tanned light brown skin and her bright smile. He then started to think about Zoe. A lot of the emotions that Ave shows are Zoe's. Manny let out a sigh and rubbed his head. He needed rest. He lies down next to Ave and stares at the ceiling.
His eyes became heavy. And he slowly drifts off to sleep.
End of Chapter 10.
