Chapter 3

Next Day...

All is peaceful in Miracle City, or at least as peaceful as a spicy cesspool of crime and villainy can get anyway, until...

"WOOOO-HOOOOO!" cheered El Tigre and Frida as they did a two legged rollerblade down the same steep hill they did five years ago, zooming by a ton of people.

"Hey dad!" said Manny as he zoomed by his father.

"Hello Manny." replied Rodolfo before he dropped his groceries, "Manny?! Ay! They're headed for the new Toxic Waste Dump strangely placed near the docks! This looks like a job for...*rips off civilian clothes*...Whiiiiiiiiiite Pantera!"

Pantera then raced after his son and was soon side-by-side the two runaway roller-bladers.

"Hey dad, what's up?" said Manny.

"You're heading straight for the new Toxic Waste dump, slow down!" said Pantera keeping up with them.

"We are?" said Manny and Frida at once before they looked ahead and saw the Toxic Waste Dump closing in and the two screamed.

"We need better skates!" yelled Frida before she and Manny plowed into an escaping El Olso who was robbing bank at this point in time which knocked the bear-themed villain over and stopping them in their tracks as they landed on their rears.

"Ow man! Why you have to run me over?" said Olso holding his head as Manny and Frida unsteadily got to their feet.

"We should stop doing that..." said Manny as he cracked his back.

"Aw man! My goggles are wrecked!" whined Frida as she checked her goggles which now had two broken lenses.

"You can always get them fixed."

"Dude, do you know how hard it is to find this type anymore?"

"What about that place?" said Manny pointing to a store across the street.

" 'Ye Old Goggle Pawnshop'? Man, that is so weird."

(Sergio is seen inside with a love-struck expression on his face as he looks at Frida. "Oh Frida, my love, why must you ignore me and go for that no-good cowpoke Manny Rivera?!" said Sergio as he crushed a rock in his hands, his voice a mixture of his old voice and that of Senor Sinistero.)

"Ahem! You ruined my robbery man. Now I ruin your faces." said Olso pounding his fists together as he glared down at the two with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Oh, this can't be good..." muttered Manny before he was struck by a lamp-post Olso ripped out of the ground. Olso then turned to Frida.

"Now its your turn man...lady...whatever!" said Olso cocking the lamp-post back and Frida smirked.

"No...*has mech suit come out of her backpack*...its your turn!" said Frida inside mecha-Frida as the mech cocked her guitar back.

"Mommy..." squeaked El Olso.

*Guitar Strings Strummed*

El Olso collides with a wall, knocking him out as El Tigre climbs out of the wall he was embedded in.

"Dad, can I go to the hospital?" said Manny before he coughed up blood.

"Of course son." said Pantera grabbing his son and heading for the hospital as a white blur.

"Hey, what about me?" said Frida having the mech put its hands on its hips and she lets out a sigh, "Leaving me to clean up the mess. Figures."

Frida then ties up El Olso and then blasts off and heads for the hospital in the mech.

Miracle City Hospital; 20 Minutes Later...

Frida entered the building, her mech deactivated and hidden in her backpack and she walks up to the desk clerk.

"Do you know where a 'Manny Rivera' is?" asked Frida.

"Room 456, third floor." replied the clerk in a bored tone.

"Thank you." said Frida walking off and after climbing a couple stairs decided to use the elevator. Upon entering the elevator she kicked a green duck with a diaper out of said elevator and the doors close but the duck pulls out a remote control and has a sinister grin.

"My elelator." said the duck pressing multiple buttons on the remote at once and the elevator flew all over the floors.

"I push the buttons again, again, again, hah ha hah ha hah." laughed the duck before his remote shorted out and elevator went to its correct floor and the duck was grabbed by a security guard and thrown out of the hospital.

Upon reaching the third floor Frida walks out and waves goodbye to a half black 'n' white Venus flytrap-like man who waves back and then the elevator goes down to the second floor and Frida heads for room 456. After she found the room she knocked and she heard Rodolfo's voice say 'enter' and she did and she saw Manny laying on a hospital bed, unconscious.

"So why'd he cough up blood after he got his butt-kicked by El Olso?" said Frida leaning against a wall.

"All superheroes go through a phase where they can be seriously hurt, I did. Injuries include; coughing up blood, broken bones, and...hospital time. It doesn't last long but it is very painful either way." said Rodolfo calmly.

"How long will he be out?"

"Given his super hero/villain nature and seemingly fast healing abilities, I'd say by tomorrow he will be fine. Okay, Frida time for you to go home." said Rodolfo showing her the door.

"But I just got here." whined Frida before Rodolfo shut the door on her when suddenly the wall with the window exploded and Puma Loco was standing there and the old man jumped out of the suit and walked over to his grandson's bedside and sat down in the chair looking worried.

"Will he be alright?" said Grandpapi without looking away from his grandson.

"Yes. All superheroes go through a phase where they can get seriously hurt but it never lasts long." said Rodolfo sitting by his dad and the two stayed their the whole night.

Neither aware of the El Tigre belt disappearing in green mist.

Next Day...

Manny awoke and sat up clutching his head before he was pulled into a bone-crushing hug by his father.

"Son! You're alright!" cried Rodolfo happily.

"Not for long he ain't..." muttered Grandpapi but Rodolfo heard him and put his son down.

"Sorry."

"Its alright dad. Geez, I feel like I got hit with a freight train." said Manny as he clutched his head again.

"Given what we've been doing over the years, that is very possible."

"I'm gonna go see the Golden Eagle Twins and see if I can't get them to forgive for trashing their blimp." said Manny walking into the room's bathroom and getting changed out of the hospital clothing he had on.

Halfway Across Miracle City...

"Zeppelin!" yelled Carlito upon hearing someone say 'blimp' instead of 'zeppelin'.

Two Hours Later; Golden Eagle Twins Zeppelin...

"You sure this is a good idea Manny? I mean, we made enemies out of the two, whose to say they won't blame us for something?" said Frida nervously.

"I know, I know. But I have a plan incase they don't forgive us?" said Manny as he showed her his belt and then hid it.

"You took your cursed belt from the vault your grandpa put it in?!"

"Yes. Now shush." said Manny before he knocked on the door and the two waited a few seconds before the door opened and the Eagle Twins were there glaring at the two.

"What do you two want?" said Carla with venom in her voice.

"We came here to apologize for everything we did five years ago and we hope you can forgive us." said Manny sincerely.

"And I'll try not to call your zeppelin a blimp." said Frida.

"Zeppeli-! Wait, you just said Zeppelin." said Carlito in shock.

"Like I said, I'll try not to call it a blimp."

"I'm not sure...what have you got as a forgive us gift?" said Carla crossing her arms

Manny pulls a bag of gold out from behind his back and drops it in front of him and the twins then nod and pick it up and walk inside.

"You just painted rocks gold didn't you?" whispered Frida.

"Yep." whispered Manny with a nod.

The two then walk inside and there's more stuff inside the blimp...er, zeppelin than there was five years ago.

"Just a quick question; are you guys still...'fakes'...or do you earn this stuff?" said Manny nervously.

"We work for some of it but otherwise we just get what we want still." replied Carlito as he sat in a massage chair.

"I'm gonna go look at the city from the front, see you in a bit." said Manny walking to the front of the zeppelin and discretely pressing a the microphone button.

"Hey guys, remember when you planned to destroy the park and replace it with a skateboard park?" said Manny cheerfully.

"Yeah, we almost had it but instead you stop us and cause us to crash our blimp...*gasp*...ZEPPELIN!" said Carlito grabbing his face in horror.

"We had everything planned out perfectly; use our fame and good-nature to our advantage and get what we want and besides, who cares about a bunch of old ladies, kittens, and parks?" said Carla, "Then you go goody-two-shoes on us and stop us yet we framed you for attacking us just so we could get sympathy money from the stupid idiots down below."

"Hey, what's with the echo?" said Carlito getting up before a rock bursts through the window next to his head and he picks up the rock and looks at it.

"Down with the Golden Eagle Twins!"read the rock and he then looked towards Manny who was laughing his head off.

"What did you do?!"

"Made you confess to your crimes you liars!" snapped Manny as he moved out of the way to show the microphone was on and both Carla and Carlito gasped in horror and then their expressions turned murderous as they unsheathed their claws.

"Uh, Manny? Was this part of the plan?" said Frida leaning in close to Manny with a worried expression on her face.

"No, but this is." said Manny spinning his belt buckle and becoming El Tigre and unsheathing his claws before he poked the side of the zeppelin with a smirk and the Eagle Twins stopped their advance.

"Should I remove my claw?" said Manny with a smirk and the Twins shake their heads 'no'.

"What do you think Frida?"

"Do it man." said Frida with a smirk of her own, "But first; ~blimp, blimp, blimp, blimp, blimp, blimp, blimp~!"

"ZEPPELIN! ZEPPELIN! ZEPPELIN!" yelled Carlito in pure rage as he pulled his hair and at that moment...

*POP!*

...Manny removed his claw from the hole in the zeppelin and the thing began zipping around at high-speeds until it crashed to the ground and Eagle Twins crawled out only to be cuffed by Chief Suarez.

"You two are under arrest! Wait 'til your parents find out." said the chieft and twins' expressions turn to sheer horror.

Carla and Carlito: "No! Please don't tell our parents!"

Manny and Frida then crawl out of the deflated blimp and dust themselves off.

Carla and Carlito: "You'll pay for this El Tigre! You'll pay for ruining our lives!"

The two were then thrown into a police car and taken to the police station.

"El Tigre!" said Chief Suarez glaring down at El Tigre who gulped.

"Y-yes?" said Manny nervously.

"Good job." said Suarez extending a hand and Manny reluctantly shook it.

"My dad and Manny shaking hands? IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! AAAAAHHHH!" screamed Frida before she fainted and both her father and Manny looked at her before she woke up.

"Please tell me it was just a dream." begged Frida.

"Sorry sweetie, we shook hands." said her father and Frida fainted again.

"Well, I gotta go. See ya!" said Manny launching a claw onto a lamp-post and swinging away.

Secluded Rooftop; Ten Minutes Later...

Manny landed on the rooftop clutching his head in pain and he walked over to a discarded mirror and saw his eyes; his right eye still had only a outline of black surrounding the green but the left was almost completely black.

"This can't be good..." muttered Manny as he changed back to normal unaware of a certain plant man watching him.

"His left eye is black, this can't be good. Let's just kill him and be done with it. Our mission is to watch him only. Shut up. Why are you so cruel? Because I'm your 'dark' half. Oh hardy har har. You made a lame pun based on your color. Your humor sucks! You're no better. Shhh! Before he spots us!" said Zetsu before he phased into building as Manny turned around.

"Someone there?" said Manny before he shrugged and climbed down the fire escape and headed home.
