A/N ah so now it's back to this story! For those who thought I stopped updating, of course I didn't. I love writing this story with my partner Brave Kid, and we're glad that there are people who are enjoying this story! So here's chapter 14!
EL Tigre – Fusion born! Birth of La Tigresa Negra
Chapter 14 – My daughter
"You should have seen her. For a minute I thought that girl was dead." Said Marcus walking down the side walk while taking cheese covered nacho chip and tosses it in his mouth
"Dang…do you know if she's ok?" Manny asked, sipping on his cola.
Marcus shrugs "Eh…I have no Idea. I know she won't be doing any "Hero" work for awhile."
"Man…she really went overboard with that one…"
"Hey that eagle girl was asking for it. Picking a fight with Ave was the last thing she should've done." Marcus said tossing the now empty box of nacho's in the garbage "So where is the lovely goddess anyway?"
"Well she said she wanted to go spend some time with her family."
"Which family, the one that hates us or the one that wants to kill us?" Marcus scoffed
"The one that hates us," Manny replied "But sometimes they do want to kill us also."
"True." Marcus said nodding.
"You know…it's already about to be the end of the month." Manny said shaking his cup of soda.
"Oh? I hadn't really noticed honestly." Marcus said kicking a rock that was in his path. "It's already been a month since this crazy stuff has happened…"
"Yeah…" Manny started to think about Frida. It was an odd feeling that Manny had. The month was already about to end and so much has already happened. Ave had been around for only a short amount of time and it feels like she's been around as long as he's known Frida. He likes Ave. But to Manny, it just felt wrong for some reason.
Marcus looks over at Manny "You ok kitten?" he asked
"Yeah…I'm fin-Hey don't call me kitten!" Manny shouted at Marcus.
Marcus laughs "Feisty little one, aren't cha?" he teased
"Oh don't start this again!" Manny groaned.
Marcus snickers, laughing at Manny's reaction. But, Marcus quickly stopped laughing and turns around, his eyes scouting the area behind him. Manny looks at Marcus perplexed.
"Uh what is it?" Manny asked
"I…I thought I…hmm…never mind." Marcus said shaking his head "I might have been imagining things…"
"Uhh alright, wanna come over and play some games?"
"Sure, why not. By the way make sure you show me Ave's lingerie. I haven't seen it yet."
"WHAT? DUDE NO WAY!"
"UGH! SHAREING IS CARING MANNY!"
…
Ave happily walked down the street with a big smile across her face and humming a tune as she walked. Ave started thinking about Manny. She blushes and giggles, thinking about the options of what she'll probably do to him tonight.
"Ave…"
"Huh?" Ave turned around. "Who's there?"
Nobody answered
"What…uhh…" Ave scratches the top of her head "Hmm…oh well." Ave continued walking up the path to Emiliano's home. She knocked on the door, waiting for an answer.
Carmela, Frida's mother, opened the door "May I hel-Oh my god…" she gasped when she stared down at Ave.
Ave waves at her "Hi mom!" She said happily.
"E-E-E-EMILIANO!" Carmela screamed.
"Oh is dad home? I thought he was out working. Is it his day off?" Ave asked.
"Carmela what is i- F-Frida!" Emiliano said looking down at Ave.
"Nope, it's only Ave." Ave said with a innocent smile
The two of them just stood there staring at each other for a few moments. Then finally Ave asked
"Can I come in?" Ave said tilting her head a bit.
"O-Of course…" Emiliano said awkwardly "Come in…" He and Carmela stepped out the way and let's Ave into the house.
Anita and Nikita were standing in the living room. Both of them came down from their rooms to see what their mother was screaming about. This would be the first time that Anita and Nikita would meet Ave.
"Hey sisters," Ave said waving at them "It's good to see you!"
Nikita and Anita looked at each other and then looked at Ave. They just smiled and waved at her.
"H-hey…uh…sis," Nikita said awkwardly
"It's good to see you too…" Anita said awkwardly as well.
They all gathered in the living room and sat down. The four of them looked over at Ave. Ave sat in the chair with her hands on her lap and smiles at Emiliano, Carmela, Nikita and Anita. The family hasn't seen Ave since the fusion happened. It was a pretty awkward now seeing her out of blue like this.
"Umm…I'm going to go make us some tea." Carmela said quickly getting up from the couch and heads into the kitchen.
Now it was just the Ave, Emiliano, Nikita and Anita. They sat there quietly till Emiliano finally broke the silence.
"Oh…ummm, Nikita and Anita, I've already told you about what happened to your sister. And this is her…well it is…and it isn't." Emiliano tried to explain.
"Hello sisters again, I'm Ave suarez." Ave said smiling at them.
"So…she's Frida and Zoe aves fused right?" Anita asked raising an eyebrow
Emiliano nods "That's right."
"Ok…" Nikita said scratching her cheek
"So how's the crime fighting been going?" Ave asked
"Well…it's going fine. There have been a little of this and that here and there but it's fine…" Emiliano said "Although…you've been pretty active yourself Ave…"
Ave giggles "Sorry about that. I can't help myself sometimes." She shrugs
Carmela had returned to living room with the tray of tea. She sits it down on the living room table and takes her cup. Again, the room was in silence for a moment till Ave remembered something.
"Oh, I got something I think you all will like." Ave reaches into her pocket and pulls out a piece of paper. She lays it out in front of her on the living room table. It was a map, with directions to a certain hide out. On the map it showed three secret pathways that they could travel into.
"What does this lead to?" Emiliano asked staring at the map.
"I've heard that you're having a hard time with a group of criminals that keep escaping you? This is a map that leads to their secret hide out underground." Ave explained
Emiliano looked at her in shock "How did you get this?"
"I fetched it off some random thug that was robbing someone. I asked where it was from and he said it was to secret underground hide out." Ave said smiling at him "So, why don't we all go out and get these guys? "
"Perfect! Frida- I mean, Ave, this is perfect! We're finally going to put these guys behind bars! I'll go take a picture of the map for myself." Emiliano said taking the map and hurrying to his room "We'll get them today! Anita, Nikita! Make sure to get ready!"
"Yes sir!" Both Nikita and Anita said in unison as they sprung up from their seats.
Ave giggles "Oh I'm so excited!" she said going over to her sisters and hugging them "I can't wait to go kick bad guy butt with you two."
Nikita and Anita smiled awkwardly and nods "Same!" they both said
Carmela looked at Ave. She smiled. But to her, when she smiled it hurt. She was forcing herself to smile. She looked at Ave. She didn't know how to feel. She thought she would be happy to see her but, now that she did. Carmela felt mixed emotions. She was happy, but sad.
Ave turns to Carmela "You ok mom?" she asked tilting her head
"Oh yes…I'm fine dear." Carmela said smiling yet again.
Emiliano came back downstairs, fully dressed in his police uniform.
"Alright, this is going to be a good bust! You three will take this location right here on the map to their hide out. I'll call for my team and we'll follow around to this spot." Emiliano said pointing to the other secret opening on the map.
"Yes sir!" Anita and Nikita said together
"Righto, "Ave said nodding
"Alright, you three head to the secret entrance and I'll go get the squad! I'll see you all there! And be careful!" Emiliano said handing the map back to Ave
Ave turns to Anita and Nikita and smiles at them "Are you ready to have fun sisters?" Ave asked giggling
"YEAH!" Anita and Nikita said together
Ave grins "Let's do this!"
The three of them walk over to their mother and gives her a big hug. Carmela smiles down at the three of them.
"You three come back safe ok?" Carmela whispered to them.
Ave rolls up the map and places it into her pocket. "Of course, we'll be just fine don't worry!" She said giving Carmela a confident smile.
Carmela smiled back and nods
And the three of them head out.
…
Ave, Nikita and Anita left Miracle city and heads out of town. They walked along the dirt path till Ave stops and looks around the on the ground, her eyes scanning ground.
"Is there supposed to be an opening around here?" Anita asked, looking at Ave.
"Yup, it's around here somewhere." Ave said pressing a button on her mechanical bracelet. Her bracelet transformed into a metal detector. She moves the head of the metal detector around the ground for a few moments till finally the detector went off.
"Found it!" Ave smirked. Her metal detector reverts back to the form of her normal looking bracelet and she dust away the dirt that was hiding the door to the secret base of the criminals.
"Awesome!" Nikita and Anita said unison
"Alright, let's be quiet about this," Ave said to the two of them.
They both nod and they head down into the secret passageway. Ave closes the door behind them and they were shrouded in darkness.
"Crap I can't see anything." Anita whispered
"I can't even see my own hand in my face." Nikita whispered as well
"Don't worry I got this." Ave whispered to them "Now which button was it?" Ave presses another button on her electronic bracelet, and a bright light shined from her electronic bracelet.
"Alright, let's move." Ave whispered to them
The three of them walked down the dark tunnel. Ave flashed her light around the walls and ceilings of the tunnel. The sound of their feet echoed a bit as they walked.
"How long is this tunnel?" Anita said sticking close to Nikita making sure that they didn't separate
"No idea." Ave responded "I guess we'll just have to keep walking and see where we end up."
After a couple of minutes of walking, the three of them finally came across a stack of stairs that were leading up. The three of them looked at each other and they walked up the stairs. The higher they went up, they could hear the voice of couple of people talking.
Ave turned to Nikita and Anita and held her finger to her lips gesturing to them to keep quite. She turns off the light on her bracelet and they slowly went up the last set of stairs. The voices that they heard grew louder and clearer. They see a small opening of a room. They place their backs against the wall and slowly sneak up to the door. Ave peaks her head in, and looks into the room.
"Times are changing. The rightful ruler of the world has returned to us. Will you join his side and have great power at your command?" Said Xentos staring at the group of criminals with his pitch black eyes and purple pupils
"What the heck are you talking about? Who the hell are you? What rightful ruler? We don't let anyone rule us!" Max said, standing at 5,6, head completely bald and had piercings around his nose and one on his lip. He wore a bullet proof vest and black pants and black boots.
Xentos chuckles and shakes his head in disappointment "I guess that you all will be left behind when the coming of the new world begins."
"Who the heck is that?" Anita whispered silently
"I don't know…I've never seen anyone like him before. He sure looks creepy…" Nikita whispered
"Tch! Get out of my base before we kill you!" Max threatened
"As you wish," Xentos said nodding. His entire body dematerializes, and Xentos disappears.
"What the hell?" Max said staring at the spot where Xentos was "This city is freaking crazy…"
Ave winces and she places her hand on her head.
"Hey…what's wrong?" Anita asked Ave.
"I…I'm fine…" Ave whispered to her "I-I just f-feel a bit light headed is all…"
"Ave…Aaave…"
"Nnnngh!" Ave said dropping to her knees "M-My head!" she groaned.
"What's wrong with her?" Nikita said worriedly.
"I-I don't know…" Anita whispered to Nikita
"Hey! Who's there?" One of max's group members said
"Another intruder, how the hell did anyone find out?!" Max said in frustration
"Oh no…" Nikita said looking at Anita
Ave holds her head and she starts whining loudly "Stop…Stop….Stop!" She repeats over and over.
Max and his crew went outside the room and point the guns at Ave, Anita and Nikita.
"Look at their uniforms! They're cops!" One of Max's crew members said
"Wait I recognize those two…they're the police chief's daughters!" Another one of Max's crew said glaring at Anita and Nikita
"And this girl…" Max said looking at Ave "I've never seen her before…"
"Sir, come in! There are more cops coming in from the 2nd entrance!"
Max picks up his walkie talkie "WHAT?! HOW THE HELL DID THEY FIND OUT WHERE WE WERE?!"
Ave started to calm down, and the pain that she felt slowly started to go away, and for some reason she doesn't remember why she was in pain or what caused it. All she could remember at that very moment was the question that Max asked.
Ave starts to laugh. She shakes her head and digs into her pocket and pulls out the map that leads to the underground hide out "Heheh…a little friend of yours decided to give me a present…" She said smirking
"What th-how did you get that?!" Max said with eyes widen. "Why you little…"
But before Max could finish what he said he could hear the sound of his guards behind him that were guarding the other entrances yell in pain.
"Looks like our dad made it in!" Anita said with a smile
"GOD DAMN IT!" Max said pointing his gun at Ave.
Before he could even fire at Ave, Anita rushes forward and kicks the gun out of Max's hand. Then Nikita rushes forward and at the rest of Max's crew that left the room with him. She kicks one in the face and then grapple takes down the other, twisting his arm as it made crackling noises.
"OOOOW!" The man cried.
Max reached into his pocket and pulled out an electric baton and activates it. Ave quickly spins her belt buckle transforming into La Tigresa and extends her claws and slices the baton into pieces.
"SHIT!" Max said in a panic.
"FREEZE, DON'T MOVE!" Emiliano roared while pointing his gun at Max. He looks over at his daughters and asked "Are you three ok?"
"Yeah we're fine!" Anita and Nikita responded in unison
Emiliano glared at Max "You've been a pain in my side for a long time dirt bag…"
Max simply laughed "You're pathetic. It's sad that the big bad dog of Miracle city had to rely on his kids to catch me!" he mocked
Emiliano scoffs "It's also sad that you and your group got beat by a bunch of kids." He smirked
"Tch..." Max glares at Ave
"Don't try anything big boy. Or would you prefer if I slice you in two." Ave threatened
Max grins "Hehehe…you really think you got me do you?" he said confidentially "NOW!" he shouted
From out of the room where he and his group was, a small black ball came flying out of the room and hits the wall, and a strong bright flash of blinding light explodes from the black ball causing Ave, Nikita, Anita, Emiliano and his team cover their eyes.
"DAMN IT!" Emiliano said rubbing his eyes
Footsteps could be heard of Max running back into the room him and his team had just left.
"Whoa!" Nikita said as she fell over. The man who she had pinned down got up and ran into the. She could hear a door slide open and four of them hopping in and running off.
"DAMN THEM! WHICH WAY DID THEY GO?!" Emiliano shouted
"They went into the room into a secret passageway!" Ave responded to her father.
Their field of vision was coming back to them and they turn towards the door. Ave growls and runs in and punches a large hole in the wall that revealed the secret getaway path.
"You two stay around here and look for any remaining men." Emiliano ordered his team and they all nodded.
Emiliano, Anita and Nikita all followed behind Ave. Ave ran down the hallway and runs up the stairs that lead back up the surface. She busts through the door and found herself in the backyard of a home that was possibly a hideout for max to head to get into the city easier. She looks to the left seeing Max get into a car. He shots at one of his goons to step on it and they drive off burning rubber.
"Oh no, you don't!" Ave said fiercely.
Ave activates her jet pack and zooms into the air and flies at Max's car. Max see's Ave coming at them from the inside rearview mirror.
"SHIT SHE"S AFTER US!" Max screamed "SHOOT HER DOWN ONE OF YOU!"
One of his goons reaches for the assault rifle and points it out the window. But when he looked outside behind them Ave was nowhere to be seen.
"W-Where did she go?" he asked confused. He was suddenly grabbed by the back of his shirt and was pulled out of the car. He fell to the concrete face first and bounced off the ground four times.
"OH SHIT!" Max squealed.
Ave digs her claws into the roof of the peels it open. Ave grins down at Max with crazy expression on her face "Hiiiiiiii…" she said giggling.
Max eyes widen at the sight of her expression. He reaches into his pocket to pull out his gun and points it at Ave. Ave was of course quick to react and she cuts the gun into pieces. She then reaches over to the driver's side of the car and yanks the steering wheel out.
"WHAT THE HELL YOU CRAZY BITCH!" The driver screamed
Ave grabs Max by the collar of his shirt and dashes high into the air while holding on to max.
"Want to go fly around a bit? Hmmmm?" Ave said tilting her head while looking at Max.
"You crazy little girl put me down!" Max said squirming
"Nah…I think I'll play with you a bit." Ave said placing her razor sharp claws into one his piercings and yanks it out.
Max let out a groan of pain "OWWW! GOD DAMN IT!"
"Ooo that looked like it hurt," Ave said grinning "Let's also get rid of this one." She then yanks out the one that was on his lip. Max screamed in pain as blood rushed out from his lip.
"JUST STOP IT! PUT ME DOWN! I GIVE UP!" Max cried
"You sure you want me to put you down? It's one hell of a drop if I did."
Max looks down. He could barely see the ground of Miracle city. He starts to sweat beads.
"P-P-Please…d-don't drop me…I beg…just put me dow-" Max pleaded
Ave thinks about it "Ok." And then he let's go Max. Max screamed as fell, breaking through the wind and a couple of clouds. Max thought that this was it, this would be where he died. But Ave quickly swoops In and catches him.
"Just kidding!" Ave said giggling.
But Max didn't hear it. Max had passed out from the shock of almost falling to his death.
"Whoops, it looks like he's out cold!" Ave laughed
After a couple of minutes Emiliano, Anita, Nikita and a back up of Miracle city police force had arrived. They snapped the cuffs around Max's hands and threw him inside the police car.
"Well that takes care of those jerks!" Anita said with mighty smile on her face.
"Heck yeah!" Nikita said nodding and smiling
Emiliano looked over at Ave and walks over to her "Thank you…if it wasn't for you Fri-I mean Ave…we wouldn't have caught them." He said sincerely
Ave shakes her head "Of course dad, anything for you!" she said smiling up at him.
Emiliano looked at Ave. He could see that one of Ave's eyes were blue. He knew who that blue eye belong to.
"F-Frida…" Emiliano whispered
"Nope," Ave shakes her head no "Only Ave."
"I…" Emiliano sighed "Right…Ave."
Ave giggles "Well this was fun! I can't wait to get another chance to hang out with you all! But right now I'm priority is to go and be with Manny! See ya!" Ave activates her jetpack and flies into the air
Emiliano sighed and takes off his sombrero and rubs his forehead.
"You ok dad?" Anita and Nikita said in unison
"I just…I just can't stand seeing my daughter in this situation…" Emiliano said in painful tone
Anita and Nikita looked at each other and they both held their fathers hand
"Dad…we'll see Frida again…" Anita said
"We know that for sure!" Nikita said
Emiliano looked at both of them and smiled "Yes…I'm sure we will…" he said putting his arms around both of them.
"Even though she's different...she's still my daughter." Emiliano said in his head "And we'll get her back..."
…
Xentos walked up the sandy hill. He stopped for a moment to gaze up at the purple sky, and then continued walking up the sandy hill. He reached the top and stared at a man with a brown torn and dirty cloak.
"Did she hear you?" Xentos asked.
"Yes…yes she did…" Said a raspy and slightly deep voice named Julius
"If she heard you then that means we have her." Xentos said simply
"Hmm…not quite…"
"Oh?"
"She is strong willed…the mind between the other to is interfering with my work…"
"I see…so…how long will you think it'll take before the power slowly seeps into her?"
"I can't confirm that..."Julius said
"Hmm...Well I guess for right now all we can do is wait." Xentos said looking up at the purple sky. And then he remembers "Oh by the way Julius. I just remembered why my father sent me to talk to you."
"Our lord has blessed me with a mission?"
"Yes he has." Xentos nods "He wants you…to kill both Manny Rivera and his friend who can summon the flames of hell itself…"
Julius paused for a moment. He turns his head to Xentos. His skin was completely pitch lack. He had no nose, ears, or a mouth at all. He only had one large eye that multi colored.
"Tell my lord…that I shall bring them their heads…and offer them as thanks for my revival…"
