Author's Notes: I own nothing except Klaxon.

I am so sorry I took this long to update this story! I hit a road block for awhile and worked on other stories 'til it went away but nothing helped, so I listened to "It's my Life by Bon Jovi" and that helped me get over the block. Hope you enjoy folks!

Chapter 8

Manny's Mindscape...

Manny struggled against his chains, trying to either loosen or break them but without success and he sighed.

"Great. Stuck inside my own mind. Could things get any worse?" said Manny before he slammed his head against one of the chains holding him.

"That was stupid. Of course things can get worse!"

Suddenly a mirror appeared in front of Manny and he could see everything his evil self was doing and he sighed again.

Miracle City...

Dark El Tigre threw a car through a bank window, causing the entire building to explode violently and he walked off laughing before a kitchen sink hit him in the face and he recovered to see Klaxon standing in front of him.

"You again? You're more annoying than Frida before I ended her life. Now get out of my way freak." said Dark El Tigre glaring at the masked man.

"Not happening Manny." said Klaxon removing his mask to reveal four scars on his left (facial) cheek, one scar on his left and right eyes and his eyes were a light blue.

"Then die!" yelled Dark El Tigre as he fired a claw at Klaxon who caught it easily and yanked on the chain.

"COME HERE!" yelled Klaxon and upon Manny coming within striking distance, he flip-kicked the corrupted Rivera into an Ice Cream Truck.

"I think he got his just deserts. HAHAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Klaxon before a cone hit him in the eye and he screamed in pain as the food-based projectile hung from his eye.

"Shut up!" growled Dark El Tigre as he ripped open the side of the Ice Cream Truck.

Klaxon pulled the cone out of his eye and it healed up in two seconds but he clutched it.

"Geez! That hurts like hell!" muttered Klaxon as he clutched his eye.

[It's My Life- Bon Jovi]

Klaxon then had claws erupt from his fingers and he charged Dark El Tigre who did the same. The two collided in the middle of the street, creating a massive explosive that created a crater and sent any loose objects flying. El Tigre slashed Klaxon across the face and he slashed Dark El Tigre across the chest, drawing some blood. A tail suddenly tripped Dark El Tigre and he barely rolled out of the way of Klaxon's foot as it came down only to be thrown into a brick wall.

Dark El Tigre ripped a lamp-post out of the ground and swung it at Klaxon, sending the guy flying through a glass window of a porcelain vase store, the sounds of breaking objects signifying how hard he was hit. The door was blown of its hinges as Klaxon came flying out, dragon wings sticking out of his back and he delivered a hard left hook to Dark El Tigre's face, knocking out a tooth and some blood.

Django, Black Cuervo, Puma Loco, White Pantera, Dr. Chipotle Jr., and Titanium Titan watched the fight from a nearby rooftop.

"Wow, they're destroying a lot of the city." said Django.

"Since when did El Tigre get this powerful?" said Titan scratching his head.

"The Cursed Statue not only corrupts the one who touches it but it also increases their strength." said White Pantera calmly, his face showing his age despite the mask.

"Us villains of the family might want power, but we not stupid enough to touch the Cursed Statue." said Puma Loco crossing his arms inside the suit.

*Echoing Gunshot*

The entire group turns to see a bloodied El Tigre holding a handgun as Klaxon fell to the ground, a bullet hole visible in his head.

"Survive that you son of a bitch." growled Dark El Tigre as he dropped the gun and fell to his knees.

"Okay, that REALLY hurt!" said Klaxon getting up as he spit the bullet out along with a wad of red-blue blood.

"What the-!? How did you survive that?!" snarled El Tigre getting to his feet.

"What's the matter? I don't resemble somebody you met a long, long time ago?" said Klaxon with a bloody smirk, his wings folded against his back, one of which was now broken and limp.

"You're that freak's son?! I thought he had died!" snarled El Tigre as he stood unsteadily.

"Oh he did, just not when you thought he did. I believe I was...twelve at the time. Been so long the memory is kind of fuzzy. You look tired, are you?" said Klaxon tilting his head as he looked at Dark El Tigre.

"No! I'm not tired!" snarled Dark El Tigre.

"Too bad. Because you have a date with concrete."

"What?"

The next thing Dark El Tigre knew was that Klaxon was behind him and a solid blow was delivered to the back of his neck and...darkness...

[End Song]

Klaxon sighed as Dark El Tigre hit the ground and he began to sway.

"Hey, Dr. Jalapeno-" "CHIPOTLE!" "-Whatever. Is it bad if you see rainbows in front of your eyes? *Laughs weakly*"

*THUD!*

Klaxon was on the ground, eyes glazed over and those who watched the whole thing came down and approached the two.

"Quick! Tie Manny up before he comes to!" said Pantera and Loco, using a lamp-post, tied Manny up and the group carried the two away to a secret location.

Again, sorry this took so long to update and I hope this chapter made up for it.

And anyone care to guess what the "date with concrete" gag is a reference from?
