Chapter 5

Rodolfo and Titan are seen exiting the prison after dropping off El Olso, Cactus Kid, and Dr. Chipotle Sr. and Titan looks better now that he isn't consumed by a need to destroy Manny. Titan's teeth look more straight and cleaner, he doesn't smell, and he's calmer.

"This was the most fun I had in...twenty years or so, Rodolfo. I just wish you weren't retiring." said Titan as he used his liquid metal arms to walk.

"I know but the new generation must take over from the old. Um...just a quick question; what kind of password did you put in the safe?" said Rodolfo looking at Titan quizzically.

"I put 'Rodolfo is the best', why?" said Titan and Rodolfo face-palms.

"Titan...MANNY KNOWS THAT YOU THINK THAT!"

"Oh...whoopsie. What could possibly happen though? We put him twenty miles outside Miracle City."

The two see a sad Frida walking aimlessly through the streets and Rodolfo walks up to her and walks by her side.

"Frida, what happened?" said Rodolfo.

"Before you guys took Manny away, he said I was a lousy rock-star wannabe. He never insulted my playing before, why now?" said Frida sadly.

"Frida, he was under the effects of the curse, he wasn't his usual self. In a few more days, he'll back to his old self and I bet he'll apologize for those harsh words. Besides, he also hurt...{voice cracking}...my feelings too...*sobs*"

"And mine...*sobs*" said Titan before the two partners started crying their eyes out and Frida pulled out an umbrella.

"The forecast didn't say rain was expected for today." muttered Frida before she spotted a bright red comet heading for the city.

"Uh...guys? Since when are comets red and look like running tigers?" said Frida nervously.

"Running tigers?" said Rodolfo looking at the comet before he lost all his color and fell back but was caught by Titan.

"Rodolfo, what is it?" said Titan worried for his new-old friend and Rodolfo points towards the red comet with a shaky hand.

"M-M-Manny...c-c-c-corrupted...c-c-c-completely... " stuttered Rodolfo before he passed out and at that moment the comet crashed in front of them creating a shockwave explosion and from the dust stepped...El Tigre.

"M-Manny?" said Frida in fear after looking at the new El Tigre and Titan gets in front of her defensively.

"He's no longer the Manny you knew. Go get any super-hero or super-villain friends you have and bring them here, I'll keep him distracted." said Titan forming his hands into spiked fists.

"Like you could defeat me you idiot, I always kick your butt." growled El Tigre with a smirk, his canines now sharp like a tiger's.

"We'll see." said Titan narrowing his eyes at El Tigre as Frida runs off.

[The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly]

The two stare each other down for a few minutes before Titan throws (literally) a punch at El Tigre who dodges the attack and launches a chain claw at Titan which nails the former villain in the face, knocking him back and El Tigre charges him and does a flying kick at Titan yet the metal-armed reformed hero grabs the foot and slams El Tigre into a mail box and then into the side of a car. El Tigre shakes his head before he rips a nearby lamp-post out of the ground and swings it at Titan, sending Titan into a jewelry store and the metal-armed hero forms his arms into a mini-gun and fires diamonds at El Tigre who ducks before the car he recently was slammed into and the diamond rings embed themselves into the side of the car and El Tigre pops up and throws a manhole cover at Titan, hitting him in the face.

El Tigre then grabs Titan by the throat and slams the guy's face into a brick wall repeatedly before he throw Titan through a brick wall. Titan weakly gets up but collapses face-first into a pile of bricks and El Tigre dusts his hands off before he is Power Punch Kicked in the face sending him flying.

[End Theme]

Manny uses his claws to stop his flight and glares at his father who returns the glare except it is icy cold which somewhat shocks him but he ignores it. White Pantera clenches his fists until his knuckles underneath his gloves turn white.

"What no lecture?" said Manny with a sneer as he crossed his arms.

"Nope, just a good old fashioned beat down." said Pantera cracking his knuckles.

"You're getting too old to fight."

"I may be getting old, but it doesn't mean I can't beat my son's ass when he's gone too far down darkness!" said Pantera before he charged El Tigre as a white blur. Pantera sent a punch for El Tigre's face but Manny dodged the attack and sent a kick to his old man's stomach followed by throwing dirt in Pantera's eyes and the older Rivera cried out in pain as small shards of glass were mixed in and El Tigre unsheathed his claws and prepared to decapitate his dad but was stopped by a metal claw grabbing him and throwing him into an Armored Car.

"Here Rodolfo, wash your eyes out." said Grandpapi handing his son eye cleaner and Rodolfo took it and used about half the stuff to clear his eyes and he let out a sigh of relief before the two turned towards Manny who ripped his way out of the car.

"Oh look, if it isn't my lousy grandpa who fights from inside a giant a mech suit instead of hand-to-hand like a real Rivera." said Manny with a sneer.

"I not fall for your baiting me, besides, I too old to fight outside my robotic suit. Now then...YOU'RE GROUNDED MANNY!" said Puma Loco before he had rocket launchers sprout from the suit's back and the rockets shot towards Manny yet he dodged all of them.

"I don't think we can beat him papi, he knows all of our moves." said Rodolfo nervously.

*Guitar Strings Slammed*

A red beam of energy blasts Manny back and Django of the Dead walks onto the scene holding his black mystical guitar in a defensive stance. (Sorry if I forgot to mention that Django also became a friend of Manny's)

A purple beam then struck El Tigre blasting him even further back and Black Cuervo landed with her wrist cannon pointed at El Tigre.

"Sorry El Tigre, but you're not yourself." said Cuervo without her usual love-struck tone of voice.

Mecha-Frida then swung the massive guitar at Manny sending him flying and the mech raised the guitar to knock him out but Frida hesitated to do so.

"What's the matter Frida? Can't make yourself hurt your own boyfriend? Pathetic!" jeered Manny as he got up.

"She may have a problem with hurting you, but I don't!" said Django strumming the strings on his guitar, sending another red beam at Manny, blasting him back some more.

[Bon Jovi-It's My Life]

Manny got up and unsheathed his red claws and charged Django and the two got into a melee battle, Django being on the defensive because of El Tigre's ferocity until he manages to find an opening and sends his knee into Manny's stomach before he punches him in the face and then flip-kicks Manny back and gets into a defensive stance.

Suddenly Manny is grabbed by black and white vines and throw into a pillow truck and a certain black 'n' white figure emerges from the ground and glares at Manny before he raises his hand and thousands of white creatures emerge from the ground, all with creepy smiles on their faces.

"What the heck is this?" said Manny in annoyance before the white creatures charged him and he had to slice and dice yet the creatures did not go down easy and soon he disappeared under a mass of whiteness.

"Hey, you're that guy I met in the elevator at the hospital." said Frida pointing at Zetsu.

"Hello Frida, nice to see you again. Hn. Be nice Black, she's our friend. She's a weak and pathetic friend. Just ignore him, he didn't get a good night's sleep. Shut up." said Zetsu and everyone except Frida looks confused.

"He's two in one, the white side is somewhat nicer." said Frida and everybody nods slowly.

*Tiger Roar*

The white creatures are blasted off Manny as a red aura surrounds him and he glares murderously at the plant-man yet Zetsu isn't even fazed.

"Yo! Tiger boy!" came a familiar voice to most of the people present and Manny turns around only to get a kitchen sink to the face.

"That's for ruining my mask you jerk!" yelled the masked man as he walked by the downed El Tigre.

"Who are you?" said Rodolfo pointing a finger at the masked man.

"Nobody important." said the masked man emotionlessly.

"You're sounding like Obito again. You should see a therapist." said Zetsu.

"Ah! I need to stop mimicking Obito so much at times." muttered the masked man, "My name is Klaxon and I was...hired by the first El Tigre to keep an eye on Manny and the Original should be here in...3, 2..."

*TIGER ROAR!*

Green flames erupt between those present and Manny and the Original steps out of the flames, his eyes dark.

"Manny, I told you not to use your belt but do you listen to me? No! You go and use your belt!" snapped Original in anger.

"Oh shut up you annoying split personality idiotic loser!" snapped Manny getting up.

"This is gonna be good." said Frida elbowing Django in the stomach with a slight smirk.

El Tigre the First and Manny then charge each other and both disappear in red and green auras and the two tigers that take their place are the only way to tell who is winning...
