Episode 9: The prophecy
Chaos! Terror! Miracle City was destroyed and thousands of innocent lives were taken and this was all started by a boy. He roared as he broke the buildings and he laughed when he killed people.
"Manny stop!" A voice shrieked.
He faced Frida with his demonic red eyes.
"Manny this isn't you!" She said.
He grabbed her neck and pinned her to the wall. Tears streamed down her face as she struggled to breathe.
"Stop! You're hurting me!" She begged.
"Manny isn't here anymore!" He growled. "Time to die!"
"Manny it's me! Please! I love you!"
"Frida! No!" Manny shouted. He sat up from his bed and looked around. It was only a nightmare. He wiped the sweat off his face and laid back down. He checked his clock. It was 4:00. He was too scared to go back to sleep so he just waited till the sun came up.
"Dude are you okay?" Frida asked.
"No! I had a bad dream last night and it kept me up."
"Ooh tough break!"
"Yeah but it's over now."
But he kept having it for the next few nights. He couldn't take it so he decieded to stop sleeping but that effected him badly.
"Manny?" Frida found him asleep by his locker. "Manny! Wake up!"
"I didn't do it!"
"Dude calm down!"
"Frida? Oh good you're still alive."
"What are you talking about?"
"Frida I need help! I keep having this bad dream and it's driving me insane!"
"Have you told your dad about this?"
"No I've been...I've been...too tired." He collapsed to the floor.
"Whoa! Nurse!" Frida called.
When Manny came home he told his family everything.
"Oh no! This can only mean one thing." Rodolfo said. "El Demonio is coming."
"Who's he?" Manny asked.
"Long ago back when the original El tigre was alive and young he was torn between whether to be good or evil and would not be able to make the decision until he was a man." Rodolfo said.
"But his evil half grew impatient and it formed into an evil being known as El Demonio." Grandpapi said. "He took control of El tigre and turned him into the most dangerous villain the world had ever known."
"However, some way he managed to free himself from El Demonio and banish him to the forbidden part of the land of the dead." Rodolfo said. "But before he went he vowed to return in a century and take control of the youngest Rivera."
"That's me!" Manny gasped.
"We need to contact Miguel." Rodolfo said.
"How? We can only do that on the day of the dead." Grandpapi said.
"Not exactly." Frida said.
"Follow us." Manny instructed.
They took them to their secret place and they found Miguel.
"Hola Manny, Rodolfo, Puma Loco, and Frida." He said.
"Hola Miguel." They said.
"Miguel we have a problem." Manny said.
"El Demonio is coming back." Rodolfo said. "And he's going after Manny."
"Oh no! That's not good on so many levels." Miguel said.
"How do we stop him?" Grandpapi asked.
"I don't know."
"Well how did you stop him last time?" Frida asked.
"I don't remember."
"You don't remember!" Rodolfo shouted.
"Give me a break! It's been a hundred years!"
"Now what?" Manny said.
Miguel thought for a minute then an idea came to his head.
"We could contact the Fate Keeper."
"Who's that?" Manny said.
"She's the keeper of time, life, and death. She also knows everything about everybody." Miguel said. "But she's not always cooperative, in fact she's very difficult."
"Well she's all we got." Frida said. "So let's contact the chick."
Miguel lit three candles and put them in a triangle. Then he surrounded it with salt, said "Rise Fates.", and blew out the flames. Then a ghost-like woman rose from the ground.
"Who summons the Fate Keeper?" She said. "They shall pay!"
"Hey Fate Keeper." Miguel said.
"Oh it's you!" She sighed. "What do you want this time?"
"I need you to tell me El Demonio's weakness."
"Let me think umm no!"
"He's coming back."
"Don't care."
"He's after Manny!"
"Not my problem."
"Please!"
"No!"
"Guys!" Manny shouted. "Look Fate Keeper lady, it's important that you help us. Because if you don't I might hurt someone I care about."
"Alright I'll tell you." She said. "But in the form of a riddle."
"I hate riddles!" Manny said.
"It's the most powerful thing in the world."
"Life?" Miguel said.
"No!"
"Money?" Puma Loco said.
"No!"
"Justice!" Rodolfo guessed.
"No!"
"Super macho power?" Manny said.
"No! Okay here's another it's the one thing El Demonio is incapable of feeling."
"Sadness?" Miguel said.
"No!"
"Greed?" Grandpapi said.
"No!"
"Anger?" Rodolfo said.
"No!"
"Joy?" Manny said.
"No! Why are men such idiots?" She cried. "It's love."
"Love?" Frida said.
"Yes. "True love is more powerful than good and evil." The Fate Keeper said. "It was Miguel's love for Rida that helped him overcome the evil."
"But Manny's never been in love." Rodolfo said.
"Sorry but that's all I know." Then she vanished in a mist.
"What are we going to do?" Frida said.
"We'll just have to find another way to stop him." Miguel said.
"How long do we have?" Manny asked.
"It's unknown."
"Well I won't give up! We're Riveras! And we always find a way!" Manny said.
"He's right." Rodolfo said. "We just need to find out more about Demonio."
"So when he get's here we'll be ready." Manny said.
