Chapter 31 (The Hunt)
In the fall nighttime enjoying their official first date, Wilbur and Violet sat down at the booth waiting for their food to come as the two were in a fancy style classic restaurant. When I mean classic, I really mean the two were at Super Burger ordering themselves a good helping of a meal to fill up their growling stomachs. The waitress that came with their food was skating in her uniform and had a perfect service with a smile routine as she began putting down their food.
"Okay, we have two orders for a triple stack cheese burger classic combo, and one huge super size multi flavor milkshake. Enjoy." She said, before skating her way back into the kitchen to carry out more food to the other customers.
"Hm, smells great huh?." Wilbur said, starting with his triple burger and took a bite.
"Uh huh, this is so better than going to some overkill fancy restaurant that charges a fortune foefor a super small portion of food. I hate that." said Violet before stuffing her mouth with french fries.
Wilbur can only nod as his mouth was occupied with more food as Violet did the same, and not carrying about people watching them eat so much on one or two things. It was no guess that both Violet and Wilbur were fast food restaurant lovers as it has been that way during their time being kids. Sure, they've could go and eat something much more healthy like going to Red Lobster or Olive Garden, but the two would rather go to either a fried food joint or go to their favorite burger joint in which they were currently in now. Wilbur munched down his triple burger and went to start dipping his super size fries in sweet honey mustard, while Violet dipped her leftover burger in both ketchup and ranch dressing and munch on the high frosted corn syrup suger.
"So, any word from Hiro?. I've tried calling him on his phone but I've been getting his voice mail." said Violet
"No, but from what I've heard from Vanellepe she told me his out of their room, and now he spends his time in the garage." said Wilbur, as he and Violet picked up their spoons to dig in their super size milkshake.
Violet raise an eyebrow as her spoon was inches away from her mouth, as she was curious on why Hiro would be in the garage for what?. "Did V tell you what her brother is doing in the garage?." She asked, right before putting the sweet milky ice cream in her mouth. Wilbur shook his head and said. "No. She thinks that his building something since she noticed that Tadashis notebook had a missing page in it. Odd huh?." Violet nodded and took another bite of the milkshake before saying anything again. "Any word form Miguel?. At first me and Penny was going to kick his ass, but now we're starting to worry about him." Violet said, feeling also worry about the Latino boy as this was so out of his character. Wilbur only wished that he knows but he doesn't and this was very concerning to him as well, let alone where Miguel currently is.
"I wish, I knew Vi."
"Oh, damn his on Live News!."
Wilbur was interrupted by one of the busboys who was cleaning the table that was near a perfect view of watching the eighty inch plasma screen TV, as the two and the rest of the people who was in the restaurant looked up at the screen and saw what made the busboy to alert everyone on what caught his attention. There on the screen was a speed chase, but this speed chase was far beyond any other speed chase that anyone have never seen before as the Police was chasing their main target as the suspect was on fire!. Both Violet and Wilbur turn back to face each other in disbelief as they know who that legendary Super was but don't know whose the person.
Open Road Chase...
"Skull Rider pull to the side and give yourself up!. Do you hear me Super?!." yelled Chief Keef, who was talking through the speaker in his car.
The Rider slightly turn his head to see the fifty police cars behind him and did what came next, he stick up his middle finger before focusing back to the road and kick the Soulcycle in full speed. The Chief of Police was furious about getting the response from the Super as he yelled at his driver to step on the gas pedal all the way down. The Channel News helicopter flew up above The Rider with the light beaming down on him, as the reporter was reporting the Live feed and tried to keep up speed with the legendary Super. "Time to get rid of distractions." The Rider said, turning around and stop his tracks. Watching the cars coming closer towards him causing Rider to grin as this was all part of his plan and the cops were riding into his trap.
The Rider inhaled his breath and then blew out a wind of fire across the the road, causing the cops to do a immediate stop as the huge flames preventing them go any further. Miguel's alter ego set half the road on fire big enough to call the Firefighters to come put it out. Chuckling in victory while hopping back on his cycle, Miguel pulled off in full speed as his mind was set on getting Sartana and send her soul right back to the other world. Sensing her presents by the far near the coast line of San Fransokyo, as this is where she is waiting for him to meet. When thinking about San Fransokyo district his flames begin to flame low as his mind was on Vanellepe, who he felt ashamed for not being there for her when she needed it but shake it off and continue driving straight forward.
In The Hamadas Garage...
Hiro was nearly done on building his older brothers never built high tech Super suite in just in a day!. Well this was no surprise to anyone who knows Hiro, as he was known to build things in such time depending on his mood or wroth his time doing it.
"Just one more spark touch here and...done!." Hiro said, taking off his safety goggles and turning off the blow torch in his hand.
On the table were armor parts of the Iron X suite as it was a complete full body suite. As of now, Hiro was thinking about using the same color skim as what is written on the paper that he ripped out from Tadashis notebook. Only now remains is how to power it on, as Hiro was wondering about that question in his head before investigating the situation. He looked at the detail description on the paper to look over carefully, and noticed plug in attachments in each limb and then started to feel there were some more things about the suite.
"Don't tell me there's another part to go to this Tadashi?." Hiro asked himself, right before turning to the back of the paper with disappointment.
There on the back of the paper was a drawing blueprint of a charging unit chamber, that was big enough to put two people in. Hiro looked on in shock and then looked back at the finished Tech before him, and tell that his going to be very fatigue when putting this together.
"Damn Tadashi why have you put so much detail into this Super suite?. Sigh, you would want me to finish this...wouldn't you?." Hiro said, setting the paper down and went to finding the needed parts for the charging unit.
Land of the Remembered...
"Hell no I don't want you put my Super suite together. In fact you shouldn't have reappeared my blueprint out of my notebook." said Tadashi
"Relax Tadashi, Hiro isn't going to test drive it or something." said Hector
Tadashi turned his attention to his great, great, great grandpa, right before taking a swig of his Bud Light bottle. "You haven't known Hiro like I have."
"Enough. Now, let us see how's Miguel doing with the hunt on getting that spoiled immoral girl." said Imelda, as Grandpa Julio picked up the remote and changed the channel back to their main focus.
And that main focus was Miguel in his Super alter ego.
Living World, At The Docks...
In full speed, Miguel pulled over to a complete stop, and hopped off his Soulcycle and faced face with the harbor entrance.
"Like Uncle Bob always says...it's showtime." He said, entering his way in with determination on serving justice.
When entering the harbor he noticed that everything was too quite as there were no people there or any signs of life. The Rider kelp his surroundings with caution when surveying the area without missing a beat, as so far there wasn't any signs of either Sartana or her remaining followers. He checked each warehouse and each building to see if anything was tampered with, but so far there wasn't anything out of place...yet, as The Rider turned his attention to the forklift that was standing far away from him facing face to face. He looked at it for only a short few seconds and turn his back to continue on hunting his victims.
Little did he know, the forklift driver was being tampered with by one of Sartanas followers as he made himself visible. Then he automatically turned on the forklift without the key and pressed hard on the gas pedal, and went zooming straight at Miguel who was too late to do anything as he and the machine emerge together. Thus causing him to be force pushed, and crashed in through the piles of heavy crates creating a huge crash big enough to hear a mile away. The Dark figure grinned his sharp teeth while hopping right out of the forklift, and put his hands together after feeling he actually did something to stop the legend. "Good as gone boss." He said, when Sartana appeared from thin air with a twisted smirk. "Not bad Grimstone, I knew you can get rid of our little pest problem." said Sartana, right before her little victory became a fast holt.
In the rubble out came a super heated up Skull Rider whose flames were noticeable to see, since it reached the sky like a forest fire. He pointed his finger at the one who ran him straight into the crates and said in pure rage and a sound promise. "You're going to burn like you haven't been burned before!." Receiving a fast fear of scare, Grimstone didn't know what to do next when The Rider supernaturally speeded up to him and released hot flames out of his palms. "Burn your way back to hell demon!." Miguel said, hearing the cry pain form the demon as he couldn't move due to the chains that was on The Rider, but now slither off and wrapped itself around him. Sartana can only watch in great amazement as she have never seen anything like this before, and thought her years of experience she had thought she had seen everything. But this time she's seeing something completely new, and she wished she got rid of her fear and go kill her problem that was cremating her loyal follower.
The last thing that she heard from her now burned arched follower, was his painful scream and quicker saw no trace of him with no signs of any remains. The chains that wrapped itself around its victim slither its way back to its owners hands, and grabbed a good grip on the metal rope. The Rider shoot daggers at Sartana and said with determination. "Now it's your turn scum." Sartana scolded at her difficult issue and put her fingers to her mouth, and whistle loud enough to call out her other follower to handle this irritation that was standing before her. Miguel looked at the ocean to see a massive water bubbles brewing like a cold hot tub, not realizing this was another one of Sartanas plan attempts as Sartana took Miguel's chain out of his hands with the quickness, making him shoot back at her who was grinning evily and stuck up her finger at the now even more tipped off Rider.
"Now you're going to pay witch!." He said, right before turning his attention back into the water.
Coming out from the depths was ice cold chains made of water as the one responsible, was another follower that had water for skin as he commanded the chains to get its target. With the quickness, the chains wrapped up Miguel and lifted him straight up into the air and brought froth to face the person responsible. "Enjoy a nice cold swim Rider!." He said, as he stretched his arm out and hand grab controlled the chains with his supernatural power and pulled The Rider straight down into the water in a big splash. "Hahahaha!. Now, I know good and damn well that he can't escape from this!. Legend...oh, please his not even the original thing." said Sartana, being too cocky and too naive to think that she had won the impossible. "Hehehe yeah, even I don't see what makes him think his all that. But his no problem now." said the one smirking.
Looking down into the water something made his smile drop when seeing something coming up, that was on fire in enormous speed as it blasted right out of the ocean and wrapped itself around him. Struggling to get loose after realizing what tied him was the exact same chain that was used on The Rider, but this time instead of water it was fire!. "Oh, hell!." With that he got pulled straight down in the depths of the ocean and see The Rider pulling him right down in the ocean floor, with a none comfortable laughter that Miguel was using as the follower of Sartana was still trying to break free from his tight capture. "Hehehe, hey, buddy I was just doing my job as Sartanas henchmen. I didn't take any pleasure or satisfaction in doing this...you're buying this right?." He asked with hope. "Hell to the no." Miguel said, giving a good pull to bring the demon down.
The person went right towards his doom as Miguel busted out flames from his hand, burning the guy on fire making him disbelieve on how it was possible to be burn to nothing under water. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!. God save me!." He screamed in great pain, as Miguel said in utter seriousness. "God doesn't save the wicked or evil. He exterminates them!." With that he pulled the chain in full, thus creating ashes of the remains of the demon right before wrapped the chain around him. Then when doing so he jumped up out of the water with great speed, and landed right down to the harbor bay. Sartana scolded hard after just losing three more of her followers and still haven't found the contract, and already wasting time messing with this indestructible being. "I hate dealing with people like you." She said, when Miguel quick speed up in front of her and lifted the spoiled girl up and said to her with voice of justice.
"Look into my eyes and feel the pain of others that you have mistreated."
Sartana spit out in laughter when receiving those words as this doesn't effect her not one bit, making Miguel confused on why his special move wasn't working on her like the others. She stopped laughing and looked at her capture and said all calmly. "Your head is full of hot air Rider. Just like my father I don't have a soul. So that means your powerful move doesn't have a soul to burn." Growling at learning the truth he dropped her down and took off the chains, while wrapping the end of the chains around his right fist while his left hand pulled the the other end. "If I can't burn your ass then, I can just drag your soulless ass back to the Forgotten." With great determination and close to doing so, a bright light shined upon the two as it was the same helicopter thus causing Miguel to be distracted on what he was going to do, giving Sartana the open opportunity to escape.
"It's not over yet Rider. I'll get that contract...even if I have to use threats."
Rider went back to Sartana to see she vanished into a dark fog and blew away with the quickness, making Miguel put his focus back to the helicopter and through his chain at the stand rail and pulled the copter down to ground level. The Newsman panicked when facing straight at the person responsible for it as the look was fearsome, when seeing a unique Super like Skull Rider. The Rider looked at both of them with firey eyes and scolded look, sensing their fear in him. Rider figure what he wanted to say and spoke sternly.
"Do you two want to be judged by me and accept your death penalty?. Or fly away form here and stay out of my way?."
"W.. W.. We take option two Skull Rider." said the Driver
Letting go of the helicopter and seeing the news people didn't hesitate on flying away from him, Rider whistle his motorcycle to come here and got quick results from it, and drove out of the harbor and stormed out riding away. Outside of the Cafe taking out of the trash to the silver trash can, Vanellepe was thinking about her boyfriend all day and worried about his whereabouts. She knew that something was up with him but don't know what at the moment, and it was bad enough to try figure out what Hiro is up to in the garage but think very little on it, as she knows that her brother is alright as he was coming around from depression. Vanellepe can only wish that she got to see her older brother one more time, but knowing the only way to see him was to die just like him and their parents and that was a long time until that day comes.
"Well, I guess, I should go back inside and help myself to some pastries and soda. Haha, my favorite night snack that is less healthy." Vanellepe said, when just got done setting the lid back down.
Before even to turn around back to the Cafe, Vanellepe heard a motorcycle sound coming from the left. She walked away form the Cafe and saw a firey figure heading straight towards her but slowly slowed down when approaching her, with utter softness when making a complete stop and had few inches away from each other. "The Skull Rider...y... y... your actually real." That's all Vanellepe can say when stepping forward to the legend Super, while Miguel stood very still when she approached him. Vanellepe looked at the detail of the Super up close and personal, when slowly reaching her hand to touch the skeleton face. Miguel flinched to prevent her from touching him but Vanellepe smiled and said. "Relax. I've just wanted to know if your face is a mask or not. I like the truth and facts about Supers...I read that on a old website blog." Relaxing when hearing those words, Miguel allowed Vanellepe to touch his boned face as she let her fingers explore as she chuckled when realizing that this wasn't a mask that she was touching all over.
"Awesome!. Your face is actually skeleton!. Do...Do you get hot?. I mean your literally on fire." Vanellepe asked, when letting her hands stay off of his face.
"N.. No, I'm not hot. It's supernatural flames. So I can get burnt or get hot." Miguel explained when finding himself in control all of a sudden, as wanted to leave and see a friend at the graveyard.
Luckily for him his luck have been active to his request when hearing police cars heading it's way, assuming that the Newsman had ratted on his whereabouts and was relief to see the man in blue. "I've got to go. Bye Vanellepe." He said, firing the engine up in high energy and bolted out of sight while Vanellepe ran out of the street when seeing police cars coming straight down, chasing The Rider with full speed but seeing that this wasn't going to be an easy task. "Wait. Did he say my name?. But how does he know my name unless..." Her mind was trailed off when hearing the garage door to the Cafe and out see Hiro coming out, with can of Coca-Cola in hand and went to check to see what the fuss was all about.
"Hey, Sis what's going on?. Did I just miss something cool?." asked Hiro
"You have no idea Bro. No idea." said Vanellepe, when looking back at the now empty road.
Early Morning...
At the Santa Cecilia Graveyard, Mr Jones who just got out from church to do his early morning pray, was heading to do some weed pulling in one of the graves and do some little touching up with trimming the bushes to make the graveyard look at its best.
Upon beginning his planned to do list, he heard a motorcycle coming into the entrance and then saw Miguel drove up to the available parking space, and turned off the engine and put the brakes down to make the bike stand on its own. Then when done doing it he walked up to the grave to meet up with the old man, and see that old timer was putting on his work gloves on to begin labor work. "Well...they found me. Now, I'm a wanted Super in all the districts of Todayland." Miguel said, seeing that Mr Jones was taking his time pulling weeds out form one of the graves. "Uh, did you hear me?. Have you been watching the news last night?. Do you even have a TV?." asked Miguel. The old Hispanic stopped working and looked up at the teen. "TV?."
"Yes, TV. Ok, well do you have a Facebook page?." asked Miguel, right before getting an eyebrow raise from the old man.
"Twitter?. Instagram?. Cable?. Dude, do you even have any electronics?." Miguel asked, in disbelief as he couldn't believe that this man doesn't have any electronics in his life. In fact, Miguel thought that he must've never had a single thing related to Tech. "Kid, I don't own whatever you just said. I'm a very old fashioned man." He said, getting up with his hand filled with pulled weeds.
"I'm assuming that you didn't get Sartana, right?." Mr Jones asked, with his arms crossed.
"Yeah, I didn't get her do to the Newsman and the Cops. Damn, they make sure that Supers Ban Law Act is being carried out with no exception." said Miguel
Mr Jones nodded in agreement and said. "I know. I thought they would get The Incredible Family and Frozone, but it's you that they want locked up. Did you taken the oath?."
"No, I didn't get the chance to. I left my phone at home." said Miguel, sighing and taken off his biker outfit and strip down to his white sleeveless shirt.
"It goes like this kid." Mr Jones said. "I your name. Take the responsibility of Spirit of Justice and serve my enthral duty to bring justice against evil and the unholy. My name is your name, The Skull Rider.
Miguel nodded in response and did the same with letting out air. "I Miguel Rivera. Take the responsibility of Spirit of Justice and serve my enthral duty to bring justice against evil and the unholy. My name is Miguel Rivera, The Skull Rider.
Excepting to feel something happening but didn't, Miguel turn his attention back to Mr Jones who wanted him to say something to him on what happens next as the boy was greatly confuse. "That's it kid. You now have full control of your powers. And full control of yourself as well, now if you will excuse me I've got work to be done." Miguel wanted to let it be and go home and somehow explain his whereabouts to his family, but curious on how the old man before him know so much about the power and origin of The Skull Rider, just made him think a lot on why he doesn't have any tap of technology in his life. He looked at how the old Hispanic Latino Senor dressed and how well manner he was, as if he was from back in the old days. Old days that was during the Old Western period.
Miguel stood up straight in realization as it hit his brain, and should have guessed with the evidence pointed out in the open. There working on getting the brushes trimmed up was the actual legend of Mexico, and the one held responsible for being the symbol of Day of the Dead. "Your him. Your Harper McCoy. The original Skull Rider." said Miguel, seeing that it made the old timer stopped cutting the brushes and turn to face him, with a sigh of seeing his truth come out for the first time. He lowered his hedge clippers and hang his head low a little, and said with depression. "Yeah, that's me amigo. My name is Harper. Harper Jones McCoy." Miguel came up to the original in shock as the day just got better. "Mr Jones if your the original Skull Rider, then you must have." "The contract. The Contract of my dead friends and neighbors." Jones said, fitting in what Miguel was talking about.
"Yeah!. So that means you can help me fight against Sartana. We can beat her together." said Miguel, with a huge grin of hope.
Mr Jones shook his head and said. "Sorry kid but this fight isn't mine, it's yours and yours alone. Besides." He dropped his clippers down to the ground dirt and walked up to the boy and put his hand on his shoulder. "Xibalba gave you this assignment not me. That, and I don't see if your ready to officially take up my mental." With that being said he went back to picking up his clippers and resumed cutting the brushes out, why Miguel just stood there letting those words sink in his head for a few seconds before leaving the graveyard, and got back to his motorcycle and exit himself out of the place. Meanwhile, Vanellepe and Hiro was at Wilburs place as he, Penny, and Violet were at the dinner table helping themselves with cookies and sweets as the kids were talking about Miguel and see that their conclusion on the subject might be true, based on Vanellepes point of view of the matter.
"Are you sure that Miguel is the Skull Rider, V?. I know his been acting real strange lately and all." said Penny
With an eye roll of dealing with doubt, Vanellepe then said. "The Super that I've came contact with said my name. It has to be Miguel and I know it."
"Well, it could be a lucky guess Vanellepe." Hiro said, before grabbing himself a cookie.
"Oh, okay, so you guys won't believe me then that case I'll prove it." She said, taking out a small box and took out her phone to see did she received a text back. "Miguel should be here in about a few seconds and then I'll show you guys that his the Skull Rider." Vanellepe told them with full guarantee that her theory was absolutely correct, and this Japanese American girl never been proven wrong in her life.
As soon as she read her text, Miguel entered in with a worried look on his face feeling that his secret might be coming out to the light. In his mind he wished that he haven't said her name, in fact he wondered how he was able to control himself when upon seeing his girlfriend last night. That was something that may not be answered by himself, but maybe someone else that was a big except besides the original Super. Looking at his family with nervousness by rubbing his arm as he don't know what to say to them, not even saying anything to Hiro. "H.. Hi guys, how's it hanging?." Miguel said, showing how sacred he was to say something to them.
Penny felt bad on what she had planned on doing to Miguel, but after seeing at this state she needed to be more understanding and caring for her cousin. "Now, you guys watch and see what I tell ya." Vanellepe said, coming up to boyfriend and open up the small box of matches and pull out one stick. Feeling worried on what she's going to do with that stick of match, Miguel wanted to back away but felt like his feet was cemented to the floor and he wasn't liking it not one bit. "Uhhhhh, V?."
"Shhhhhh, let me have my moment Miguel." She warned through her teeth, before lighting the match with the box.
When lighting it, it took everyone back when seeing what the flame of the match is doing. It was instead of standing up straight it was moving to the left side, pointing right at Miguel as if he was the source of continue its flame. "See?!. See?!. I was right!. Now, name one thing that causes a match to do something like that?." asked the cocky Japanese American girl. Neither Hiro or the rest can't answer this odd question and see that Vanellepe was right. Miguel was the Skull Rider and can't believe he made a deal with Xibalba, but what deal did he take with the immortal?. Miguel wrapped his finger around the flame and pulled the small fire out of its match, and lifted his finger letting the flame sit up straight. "S.. S.. S.. Surprise?."
Nodding their heads they all got proven wrong by Vanellepe as her theory was absolutely correct like she said, and now the question was what deal did Miguel made and see that it might have to be about their deceased family member. "Tadashi." said Hiro, getting everyones attention so did Miguel. "You sold your soul to Xibalba to save Tadashis life from Leukemia, b...b...b...but he treated you out and killed my brother." After surprisingly hearing exactly what really happened, Miguel nodded in tears as he was truly the blame for all of this. "Yes your right Hiro. I'm the one that got Tadashi killed that night!. Oh, God, I wished haven't made that deal with that snake!." Miguel dropped down to his knees and weeped hard for what he has done, as Violet came over to comfort him by hugging her saddened cousin for something that was trying to help. Penny soon came after and shared her hug with them, while Wilbur took a seat in bitter shock on learning this new found information.
Hiro however understand completely what Miguel was trying to do. He was trying to save his older brother from cancer and help him live much longer, but got screwed over by Xibalba and rounded up murdering him and turned him into a cursed Super. Vanellepe patted her lover on the back to ease Miguel from crying, as Hiro came over to see his cousin with eye contact. Miguel wiped the tears away when seeing Hiro in front of him and did his best to hold back the huffing. Hiro knelt down with a warm smile as he can tell that Miguel really needed this comfort.
"Miguel this isn't your fault. Xibalba tricked you into signing your soul to him, so he can save Tadashi just so he can kill him for his own amusement." He explained with a nod.
"Y.. Y.. You mean it?. Y.. Y.. Your not mad at me for what I did?." said Miguel
"No, I'm not mad at you Miguel." Hiro knelt back out as Miguel got up and said to him. "And why should I get mad at my cousin?. You sacrificed your life to save my brothers, your older cousin and I want to let you know that you're forgiven." With that he pulled him into a tight hug and so did everyone, including Wilbur who wanted to show his sensitivity to his cousin.
"And here me and Violet was going to kick your ass for not showing up at Pizza Vegas, but now I'm glad that we didn't." said Penny
Everyone laughed at her last comment as the truth was finally out and nothing can make this happy family moment go bitter sour, that is until they heard clapping behind them. They all turn to see a three unfamiliar figures except Miguel only knew who they are, and scolded in pure aggression mode. The person that was clapping their hands were Sartana, who had her feet planted on the table and reach over to get herself a cinnamon bun while her two leftover followers where standing up right beside her on each side. "Sartana." Miguel said, through his teeth when stepping away from his friends and instantly transformed himself back into The Rider, ready to strike in full swing. Sartana place her hand up to stop him from doing whatever, while the others were shock to see Miguel turned into a skeleton on fire and can't say anything but to watch him handle the situation.
"Now, before we go do the same routine, I've have an offer for you that you can't refuse." She begin, before biting down her cinnamon bun.
"Such as?." Miguel said. "I want that contract of the Town of Lost Souls. And in return I'll give you information on that night." Sartana explained knowing this would spark not only Miguel's interest but also the others.
"What information and what night are you talking about?." demanded Violet with her hand on her hip.
Sartana motion her eyes to the girl and said. "I've give you a sample taste. My father, Xibalba killed Tadashi Hamada but he wasn't the one that started that fire."
"What?!." said Everyone
"What?!." said Everyone in Land of the Remembered
"Yes, I didn't stutter. Someone that night started that fire and my old man just found his opportunity, and took advantage of the action at work." said Sartana, taking the chance to stuff the last bite in her mouth.
"Who killed my brother?. Answer us now." Hiro demanded to know with his fists bold up.
"Yeah, who killed our older brother?." Vanellepe stepped out from the back and walk straight pass Miguel, who grabbed her by the arm but quickly she broke free from his grip and on to getting closer to Sartana with her hands on the wooden table.
"Speak!." She barked. One of the followers super speeded up and grabbed Vanellepe, making Miguel angry to stop them by any means necessary. But he stopped when Sartana got up from her seat and lifted her finger up, giving the demon with red hair the idea on what to do next. He pushed Vanellepe head down sideways causing the others to be on the edge of jumping in to get them for man handling her. Basically everyone was mad on what this person is doing to their Vanellepe and wanted to beat the hell out of the demon, but the main one that wanted to do more than that was Miguel. Sartana gave a twisted smirk when placing her finger on Vanellepes cheek and then looked up at them and said. "Give me the contract and I'll might tell you who caused that fire, but I will let go of her. But if you refuse to give me what I want."
She pressed down on her cheek and started to put her touch of death on her, causing Vanellepe to feel ice cold and feel her life being forced out. "Grrrr stop!. Leave her alone I'll give you that stupid ass contract!." yelled Miguel, spiking up high flames making it hard to see when being close to him. "Oh, I sparked the fire in you didn't I?." Sartana said, letting her finger off of Vanellepes cheek causing her to breath easy now, as the demon princess. "When you get the contract meet me in the country of Mexico, in the abandon broken down debris of the Town of Lost Souls. See you then Miguel." When saying his name she and her followers vanished away and took Vanellepe along with them, as Miguel dropped his form of the Skull Rider and determined to rescue his girlfriend from that scum and ended this issue once and for all.
"What are we going to do?." asked Wilbur wanting to know who has a plan at the moment now, and hopped that one of them had a good one.
"We need to go to Mexico and save Vanellepe. I just need to get my Super suite and we can go." said Violet, remembering where she left her suite.
"Right and I can call the airport to give us my personal jet that I use when traveling around the world, when filming my movies and TV shows." Penny said, stretching and cracking her knuckles and neck so she can be loose, to fight to save her cousin from that bitch.
"No, this is my fight. She wanted me and she's going to get me. And I think, I know where the contract may be." said Miguel, walking away from them.
"Wait Miguel you don't have to go alone. We can beat her together." said Violet, before looking back at Hiro who was all calm all of a sudden.
"Your not going to say anything?." She asked. "Like Miguel said before, this is his fight but ours. And so let him handle this will ya?." said Hiro, who had his fingers crossed behind his back, as he was going with Miguel but his not going in empty handed.
In the Land of The Remembered...
"Wait so if my husband didn't cause the fire then...who did?." La Muerte asked herself, not excepting for no-one to answer.
