Manny, Marcus, and Frida, where now face to face with an unknown enemy, the Man with the yellow cloak, and blue small circled glasses. His arm went back to normal and he rubbed the blood off his hands with a napkin and balled it up and tossed it away.
"Just who the hell is this guy? Is he part of the forest creatures or something?" Said Marcus on guard
"I don't know…I don't" Frida couldn't speak right at all after seeing what happened to Diego.
"Whoever this guy is, he surely isn't any ordinary guy" Said Manny getting ready to attack.
The Man chuckles as he put both his hands behind his back and walked slowly to them. "You must be Manny Rivera, and Frida Suarez am I right?" Said the Man with a smile. "It's a real honor to finally meet you too, as for you Marcus" he then takes his arms from behind his back. "I know everything about you" He said with a smirk.
"Say what?" Said Marcus with a confused face and suddenly he was right behind the 3 of them. They all slowly turned around to see the man right behind them in an instant.
"now, allow me to end your beautiful lives" The Man said as he widen his hands and his hands glows red sending a huge shockwave at the 3 of them making them fly the end of the huge branch.
"SHIT!" Shouted Marcus getting up and charging at the man "MARCUS HOLD ON STOP!" Frida shouted but Marcus ignored her. Marcus throws a punch at the man but the Man dodges his punch then Marcus sends tow kicks but the Man is one step ahead and blocks his kicks without even trying and punches Marcus in the Stomach hard making his fist show through Marcus back.
Blood pure dot of Marcus mouth then the man gave Marcus an uppercut to the jaw sending him into the air and collided into another tree branch. "MARCUS!" Shouted Manny then he ran towards the man and extended his Claws and ran at Tigre speed and slashed at the Man.
The Man blocks and sways away from Manny Slashes and catches his Rist and twist it. Manny winches and then jumps a little and kicks the man in the face. The man barley flinched.
"Good Kick, but not good enough" said the man as his hand glowed red and punched Manny in the chest sending into a tree. "MANNY!" Frida shouted as her face turned with anger and glared at the man.
He smirked and waved. Frida got on her feet and charged at the man but as she even came close a huge wave of fire came from above engulfing the man in fire.
Marcus landed in front of Frida breathing hard. "W-where's Manny?" Said Marcus coughing up some blood.
Frida then turns around and sees Manny trying to get out of the tree. Frida runs to him and pulls him out the tree.
"You ok Manny?" Frida asked. "Yeah, I've taken worse" Manny Responded as he looked at the man.
"You are tougher then you look, I do expect a lot from you El Tigre" The man said as he pointed his finger at them.
"To hell with you! I'll make sure I have you begging for mercy!" Shouted Marcus in anger.
The Man Laughed and chuckles "You're not capable of that anymore Marcus"
Marcus growled then charged at the man again. "DAMMIT MARCUS!" Manny hopped out the tree following Marcus. Marcus went for blow to the gut but the man blocked it, Manny jumped high and extended his claws going for strike to the head but the man leaned his entire body back and dodged it.
"WHAT THE?!" Manny said looking at the man. The Man grabbed Marcus by the shirt and swinged him at Manny Making the collided at each other.
"Hold it!" the man shouted and sent a dark looking ray beam at them shocking them while there in the air.
They fell to the ground twitch from the shock. "D-Dammit! Son of a bitch!" Marcus shouted and pushed Manny of him.
The Man started laughing insanely and then he looks at them. "What's wrong? I know you tow are better than this" The Man said as his hand swirled with red arua of darkness.
"What the hell kind of powers does he have?" said Manny as he stood on his feet.
"i-I don't know…we got to beat this guy and get the hell out of here" Marcus said as he was about to get ready and attack.
"Come on come on, come at me!" The Man taunted and punched the ground and unleashed a blast of red arua on the ground sending straight at Manny and Marcus.
Manny and Marcus jump over the blast and rushed The man and sending kicks and punches at the Man, but the man blocks the kicks and punches and catches Marcus punches, and catches Manny kicks and flips them.
Marcus does a Back flip in the air takes a deep breath "ART OF FIRE BLAZE OF GLORY!" Marcus shoots a gush a fire at the Man.
The Man jumps to the right dodging the fire then Manny comes in and throws a big punch at his face sending him hurdling to the ground.
Marcus then Lands on the Mans ribs cage, bones can be heard cracking after the collision. Marcus does a back flip off of him and lands next to Manny.
"Did that do it?" Manny said as he as he staired at the man on the ground.
Frida walked over to the man and looked at him. "He looks dead to me…or unconscious" She said as he poked his head.
The Man suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Frida. Frida eyes widen and jumps back. The Man gets to his feet, the bones in his body started reconnecting its' self, he smirks widely and looks at Manny, Marcus, the Firda.
"you know, it's hard not fighting at My full potential, not trying to kill you all is pretty hard, but, just for the fun of it, I'll give you a taste of what I can really do" Said the Man as he held his hand up.
"Not if I let you!" Manny shouted and charges at The Man and extends his claws. "MANNY HOLD ON A SECONED!" Marcus shouted trying to stop him.
Manny was going for a slash but the man blocked it with his hand grabs Manny face with his other hand. "MANNY!" Frida shouted. "LET HIM GO DAMMIT!" Marcus shouted and ran towards The Man and bawled his fist.
"And you Marcus…you are who I really want to have a word with" The man said as a sword came out from the wrist of his hand slashes Marcus around his chest. "AHHHHH!" screamed Marcus as blood splashed around the area and Marcus fell on his back.
"N-NO! MARCUS!" Frida shouted.
"AND Manny Rivera...i have to say…there's more to you than meets the eye" Said the Man as he looks at Manny. Manny struggles around and kicks the Man in the face. "OW! CALM DOWN!" Said the Man as he slams Manny's head to the hard wooden part of the huge branch.
Manny's eyes rolled up to the back of his head going into unconsciousness. "Now, I'll deal with you in a short time, but since it doesn't look like you're going anywhere"
"YOU BASTARD!" Frida shouted and ran towards the Man and kicked him in the face sending bouncing off the ground, the man the lands on his feet.
"Wow, nice kick their little girl, you're not so bad yourself" Said the Man as he smirks as part of the hood he was wearing was coming off.
"J-just who the hell are you?!" Marcus said as he got to his feet. "You're not some stupid ass obstacle in forest…so how are you?!"
"Just a man doing some work, nothing more, so let's just leave at that shall we?"
Frida then looks at Manny moving on the ground and then eyes the Man. "STEP AWAY FROM MANNY NOW!" She shouted.
"Not it'll I come here to do what I came to do" Said the Man. Frida ran towards the man and started sending combos of punches and kicks at him. The Man dodges and blocks her punches and swung his sword at her, Frida ducks sways dodging the swings of the blade.
Frida catches the sword between her hands; the Man extends his arms and stabs her in the shoulder deep. Frida screams with pain then the man kicks her in the stomach and grabs her by the leg and slams her on the hard branch making her body bounce off the ground.
Marcus eyes widen. "FRIDA! YOU SON OF A BITCH GET AWAY FROM HER!" Marcus shouted in anger.
"Sorry about that, I tend to get rough when I get angry" the Man said as he licks the blood off his hand. Frida struggles to get up as she looks up. "d-d-dammit" she barley said.
"It's cute how you try and fight me, so adorable" The Man said chuckling happily. Marcus fights through the pain and charges at the Man with anger and throws a hard right at him. The Man sways his body to the left and stabs his hand in his stomach.
Marcus eyes widen and cough up blood. "MARCUS NO!" Frida shouted shocked as the man Kicks Marcus hard sending him into a tree. "NOW STAY!" The man shouted sending the sword out his hand into Marcus wound stamping him to the tree.
Marcus twitches as blood leaks from his mouth and he raises his head up, his vision in his eyes starts to blur.
"Who….who the hell is this guy…and his voice….it…it sounds so damn familiar…but I…" Marcus coughs up blood and try's to take the sword out his stomach.
Tears come to Frida's eyes, mostly fear, anger and hate. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" Frida shouted with much anger in her voice.
"Tisk tisk tisk, haven't I explained that enough? just a man doing a test actually and…now what should I do with you?" The Man said turning towards frida and smirks.
Frida's eyes widen as she crawls back with fear. "What should I do?...Manny, Marcus, I…I." Frida keeps looking at the Man and then the Man turns to Marcus and walks over to him and looks at him.
"What's happen to you Marcus? You use to be a demon…I killer…and now you are a weak mess" The man said with disappointment in his voice.
"w-wha…what the hell are you talking about?..." Marcus said and coughs up blood and breathes heavily.
"Maybe…I should just show you...Who I really am" the Man said as he pulls back his hood, his blond spiky hair that is a bit messy and crystal blue pupils.
Marcus eyes widen. His face was full of disbelief; it was as if Marcus had seen a ghost. He forgot all about his wound almost due to the shock.
"y-y-you?...Tet..Tet" Marcus couldn't speak almost. Not because of the wound but the shock of seeing Tetsuo aragaki.
"Come on, you know there is more to my name then just the beginning of the letters little Markie" Tetsuo said with a grin to his face and laughs. "So how have you been lately man? It's been awhile huh?" Tetsuo said smiling innocently as of nothing he did just happen.
Marcus shocked face turned to anger and rage. "YOU SON OF A BITCH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YO-"
Tetsuo rams the sword through Marcus deeper. Marcus screams with pain and more blood comes out his mouth.
"Now now, that's not actually the reaction I was expecting, why so mad Marcus? OH! I GET IT! It's because I beat up your friend Manny over their?" Tetsuo said looking over at Manny on the ground.
"Or is it that I slammed that blue hair girls over their on her back and made her cry? Come on man you're driving me crazy MARCUS!"
Marcus breathes even more heavily, he raises his shaking hand and puts it on the handle of the sword.
Tetsuo smiles and looks at Marcus blood covered hand chuckles. "Marcus…even though it seems like it, I would never kill you, I can't kill you, you are too important for that, I need you, and I know deep down, you are going to need this"
Tetsuo holds his hand out, a swirl of light red energy comes around his hand and then sparks and makes into a round like ball.
"You'll thank me later" Tetsuo rams the ball into Marcus chest. Marcus eyes widen, he screams loudly as if he was being tortured to death. The sickening sound was made as the ball was being forced into Marcus chest. Marcus struggles to try and get free as he screams even more.
Finally, Tetsuo lets go and rams the sword out of Marcus stomach, he falls to the ground rolling around holding his chest screaming. The red ball of energy pulses in Marcus chest and glows brightly.
"Oh come on, it's not that serious, well, I don't really know because I never tried it, anyway" Tetsuo said yawning and looks at Frida, her eyes full of tears and fear across her face. "M-Manny, Marcus…I...I'm sorry...I" Frida said to herself as she looks at Tetsuo and then starts backing up more.
"Oh my, I must have really frightened you have I? awww poor little Frida" Tetsuo said as he then looks at Manny struggling to get up on the ground. "Oh that's right"
Tetsuo Picks Manny up by his head and puts his hand on his stomach. "I can't have you using your tiger sprit; it will be a real problem" he pushes his hand on Manny's Stomach Making Manny's eyes widen.
A red spiritual sign appears around Manny's stomach and drops Manny on the ground. "MANNY! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Frida shouted as loud as she could.
"Just put something around his Tiger spirit, it won't be a problem for me now" Tetsuo said stretching and yawing. "Boy I really worn myself out, I have to say you all can put up a good fight"
Marcus lies on his back and breathes a little better then how he was, the red energy lies into Marcus chest as his skin grows over it. Veins appear over Marcus chest covers the hole.
"I see, Marcus you adapt to it better the most my experiments have, well, I knew you would anyway, what you have there is Hado, the spiritual from of pure energy, or as most people call it Ki or something" Tetsuo explained.
Marcus opens his eyes a little and stairs at Tetsuo as he stands over him smirking.
"You'll understand all this soon, so don't worry Marcus" Tetsuo said as he walks over to the edge of the tree branch. "I'd better go get him too, well, I had fun guy's we should do this again sometime" Tetsuo leaps off the ledge and goes into the deep dark abyss.
Frida suddenly snaps out of it and looks at Manny and Marcus. "Oh my god…" Frida said to herself as she runs over to Manny and looks at him. Manny is unconscious bur breathing.
"I-is he ok?" Marcus asked as he held his chest in slight pain. Frida looked at Marcus and laid Manny down gentaly and went over to Marcus.
"He's ok…what about you" Frida asked.
"I really don't know…my wound is the only thing that's hurting…" Marcus said as he looked at frida.
Frida sat their silent and started shaking. "I'm…I'm so sorry" Frida said as he tear dropped to her hand. "I…I didn't do anything…all I did was just sat there and watched…and I didn't…" Frida hesitated and tear kept falling.
Marcus sighed and looked at her. "Frida…if you were kept fighting…he would have killed you…"said Marcus as he laid up. "Who…who was that? And it seemed like you knew him" Frida asked.
Marcus was silent for a moment. "His name is Tetsuo Aragaki…" Marcus finally said.
"How do you know him?..."
Marcus was silent again, he clichéd his fist and gritted his teeth. "I can't tell you that…I'm sorry"
"Why? I don't understand! Why can't you tell me?" Frida asked and shouted.
"That's just it damn it! You don't understand and you never will!" Marcus snapped at Frida.
Frida flinched a little and just looked at Marcus. She never seen Marcus acted this way before. She decided to try and change the subject.
"What did he do to you?.." Frida asked.
"he…placed some energy in my chest…when he placed it in…it's like a surge of energy ran through my body…and not in a feel good way…either.." Marcus explained, Marcus turned his attention to Manny. "What happened to him…he talked about Manny's tiger spirit…?"
"He said he sealed it…" Frida said looking at Manny. "Just what the hell is that son of a bitch up too?..." Marcus said trying to get to his feet.
"Wait! Marcus! You need to rest!" Frida said grabbing his hand. "FRIDA! WE CAN-"
Suddenly Marcus clichéd his chest and dropped to his knees. "M-Marcus!" Frida said trying to see what's wrong.
Marcus started screaming and struggling holding his chest. Frida looked at him not knowing what to do. "Marcus…Manny"
Elsewhere
Tetsuo walked around the forest whistling and walking happily. "Well, today is a great day! I got the hado on Marcus! Sealed Manny's Tiger spirit! And hmm well I have to say that's all for now, wonder where Diego is?" Tetsuo said as he spots him lying next to a tree.
"Ah! There you are!" Tetsuo said smiling and walking over to him. Diego got to his feet and glared at him. "YOU BASTARD!" Diego shouted as he is limping. "YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!"
"Now now my little student, I had to make it look real didn't I? I don't want them suspecting you"
"YOU COULD HAVE DONE IT IN UNHARMING WAY!"
"Oh stop crying like a little baby, now come on, we have more work to do" Tetsuo said as he walked by him.
"What work?! Didn't you kill Manny and Marcus?!" Diego asked following him.
"Kill them?! Oh heavens no! Marcus is the key to my plans, and Manny well he's not too much of trouble so why waste blood like that"
Diego Groaned and as he followed Tetsuo
"Alright alright, how about this?, When the time comes time, you can dispose of that Manny boy, happy?" said Tetsuo as he looks a Diego.
"Yes!" Diego said as he started Laughing evilly.
"And then, I have more plans for you, my little student" Tetsuo said smiling and grins.
Back at the Forest
Frida laid Manny and Marcus on a soft flat surface that she made from the huge leaves she got from a nearby tree. Marcus was sweating and breathing hard again.
"Marcus? are you feeling better?" Frida asked worried.
"Some…what…this thing just hurts..." Marcus said laying up a little. "We got to get out of here, everyone else probably got out of the forest"
"Is that all your thinking about right now?!" Frida shouted "You and Manny could have been killed!"
"Well we can't stay here forever!"
"True" Frida said as he stood up. Manny then opens his eyes a little and turns his head to Frida. "F-frida?...what happened?..." Manny said in a vague voice. "MANNY!" Frida said and wraps her arms around his neck.
"Finally you wake up" Marcus said as he stands up and looks at him. "Marcus…what..WAIT WHAT HAPPNED?!" Manny said as he laid up quickly and then holds his stomach in pain.
"Don't worry, he's gone" Frida said looking at Manny. "Who the hell was that guy?!" Manny shouted looking at them.
"look…I'll explain everything later…we need to focus on getting out this damn hell hole!" Marcus shouted.
"Alright, yeah let's get out of here" Manny said as he stumble almost getting to his feet.
"Should we just keep going straight?" Frida asked.
"I have no idea, that bastard screwed everything up!" Marcus said holding his head.
"So we're stuck here?!" frida shouted
"NO WAY! We have to find a way out of here!" Manny shouted
"Are you guy's ok?" a female voice said above them
The three looked up seeing Carmen standing on a branch. "Carmen!" Frida said smiling looking up at her. "Hey, you're that blue hair girl that was fighting that Goth looking girl" Carmen said hopping down and looking at them.
"Who's this?" Manny asked. "Oh! This is Carmen! She…umm saved me from Zoe, when she kicked my butt" Frida said rubbing the back of her head.
"A fight with Zoe? When did this happen?" Manny asked looking at her.
"Look can we worry about this some other time?! We need to go now?" Marcus said holding his chest.
"Actually, I think we found the way out, you three can come with us if you want" Carmen said smiling.
"Seriously?" Frida said looking at Carmen.
"Yeah! Come on" Carmen said as she turned around and started walking.
The three started following Carmen walking down a straight path that has small oval shaped rocks sticking out the ground. Marcus clichéd his chest harder and started breathing harder again. "Damn it…what the hell did he do to me?" Marcus whispered under his breath.
Manny looked at Marcus and then walked next to him. "You ok man?" Manny asked.
"Yes…I'm fine" Marcus barley said as he started sweating.
"Dude, your clinching your chest and breathing hard, something's gotta be up"
"I said I'm fine!"
Manny then nodded and backed off. "What happened?" Manny whispered to Frida.
"That guy that attacked us put some orb into Marcus chest, and it's been hurting him ever since" Frida whispered to Manny. "And, he did something to you too"
"What?! What did he do?!"
"He sealed up your Tiger spirit"
"HE DID WHAT?!" Manny shouted shocked
"Well here we are" Carmen said as they arrived to Carmen's group safe spot. Leng doing left and right jabs to a huge rock leaving holes in it. Leng turns around and sees Carmen and the three.
"Marcus!" Leng shouted happy to see Marcus.
"Oh god Damn it" Marcus said looking down.
"It is so good to see you! How have you been?" Leng said running over to Marcus.
"Great...never been better"
"Well I see you already know him, Frida and Manny this is my hyper active partner Leng" Carmen said standing next to Leng"
"it is nice to meet you all!" Leng said bowing to Manny and Frida.
Frida chuckles and smiles "Nice too meet you too" Frida said bowing
"Same here" Manny said smiling.
Marcus clichéd his chest harder and started shifting his eyes. "Let's go…where's the path you said you found!" Marcus shouted.
"Whoa no need to throw an attitude, it's that way up that hill" Carmen said pointing up the hill covered in vines.
"Then come on!" Marcus shouted holding his chest and started walking up the hill.
"Umm, what the hell is that guy's problem?" Carmen asked looking at Manny and Frida.
"Some things happened, I'll tell you later" Frida said rubbing the back of her head.
Suddenly a sharp sound filled the air, a huge rocket missile fired and hit the hill Marcus was walking on and a huge explosion was made.
Everyone covered the heads avoiding the rubble that was coming towards them. "MARCUS!" Manny and Frida shouted not seeing Marcus anywhere in the rubble.
"HA! BULL EYE!" The Man carrying the rocket launcher said. "Nice shoot there, stupid little kid should be more aware of where he was going" The Man in with the tattoo over his left eye said smirking.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT YOU BASTARDS!" Carmen shouted glaring at them.
"Just a warning shoot, you little punks" the Man with the rocket launcher said as jumped down to the ground with his partner.
"YOU ASS HOLES!" Frida shouted with anger in her eyes. "YOU KILLED MY FRIEND YOU DIRTY BANDITS!" Leng shouted clinching his fist.
"HE WAS ALREADY INJURIED!" Manny shouted extending his claws ready to fight.
"Well what the hell are you little brats going to do abou-"
The rocks where the rocket launcher fired at started to rumble. Purple lights glowed out of it. Then rock was kicked out the ruble, then one after one more started flying all over the area.
"Huh? What the hell is going on?!" The man with the tattoo over his eye said backing up.
Marcus slowly walked out the ruble slowly, his hair was red, his eyes glowing right red, his skin was all red and purple arua was coming out his chest.
Manny, Frida, Carmen and leng's eyes widen shocked to see what Marcus has become. "M-Marcus?" Frida said looking at him.
"What the hell happened to him" Manny said with his eyes widen.
"What's that glowing out his chest?" Carmen said pointing at it.
"Shit! FIRE THE ROCKET AT HIM!" the Man with the tattoo demanded.
He quickly loads a rocket and aims it at Marcus. Marcus was already near the man and wrapped his hand around the Mans neck. The Man with the rocket gagged and chocked as Marcus squeezed harder and harder.
"HEY PUT HIM DOWN!" The Man with the tattoo over his eye shouted and took out a knife and went to stab Marcus in the back. But Marcus grabbed the blade with his bare hands and bends it leaving crush marks on it.
The Man with the tattoo on his left eye backed away slowly and just looks at him. Marcus stairs at the man he has his hands clichéd around. He raises him higher and slams him to the ground making a huge quarter in the ground.
"HOLY SHT!" the Man with the tattoo over his left eye shouted and turned around and started running.
Marcus smirks and looks at him as he runs. "You…won't escape..." Marcus said and leaped into the air and comes down on the man's back and breaks his spin. The Man shouts in pain as he tries to get away. Marcus rapidly starts punching the man in the face with a smirk across his face and keeps punching over and over again.
"What the hell is wrong with him?!" Manny shouted "w-we got to stop him!"
"MARCUS STOP! THAT"S ENOGUH!" Frida shouted.
Leng ran towards Marcus and grabbed his arm. "STOP MARCUS PLEASE HE"S ALREADY DEAD!" Leng shouted.
Marcus slowly turns his head towards leng. Blood splattered all over his left cheek.
Marcus slowly stood up and glared at Leng. Manny, Frida and Carmen ran over to them.
"Marcus…I-it's us, Frida and Manny" Frida said as he slowly got closer to Marcus. "Don't you recognize us?..."
Marcus looks at everyone as his eyes slowly go back to his regular color, his skin goes back to normal and the orb in his chest gets covered up by his skin.
"Huh?" Marcus blinks a few times and puts his hand over on his forehead. "What? What's going on?"
"Marcus you…" Leng said as he lets him go
No one's didn't say anything as they were still shocked. Marcus then looks at his hands as they were covered in blood. "WHAT THE HELL?" Marcus shouted shocked as he looks at the ground seeing the Man who he was punching and slowly backs up.
Marcus holds his chest again and loud pulse noise was made. Marcus screams and then fall to his knees.
"Marcus!" Frida shouted and goes over to him. "DAMMIT I CAN"T…" Marcus then lays on the ground clinching his chest and then lays on his back.
Manny just stairs at Marcus and then he remberes what Frida told him about his tiger spirit.
"What the hell is going on? What's happening?..."
