At Leone School, Davi is being picked on by some bullies along with a few other nerds, who are stuck in lockers. They are shaking them down for their lunch money.
The bully asked "Is this all you got?"
Davi said "Yes. I packed my own lunch today; this money is only for milk."
But before the bully could punch Davi, five spectral green cats appears before the bullies and starts slashing at them and taking back all the money that was stolen. One of the cats unlocked the combination to the locks and released the nerds from it. As the bullies are getting scratched, another cat takes back all the money that was stolen by the bullies before the bullies ran away. The nerds grabbed all the money that was there and were about to go off somewhere else. However, Davi stayed behind to find the person who saved him. He looked through all the lockers to find his savior since he assumed that he would be here but couldn't find him.
"Aw, I thought he'd be here. Even so, I'll say it anyway. Thank you Mystic Tigre." Davi then left with a disappointed look on his face
Unbeknownst to Davi, Mystic Tigre, or Manny Rivera was in one of the lockers but he was invisible.
A female voice said "I take it you didn't want to deal with Davi's constant praise of you." It is Junior Police Cadet Frida Suarez. She is also Manny's best friend.
Manny said "You have no idea. Did you get those bullies for me?"
Frida said "You know I did." They walked toward the other hallway to find all the bullies tied up and handcuffed. "Chakal is already taking them to detention. While I managed to subdue them, he knows that you played a role in their capture."
Manny said "Whatever."
Frida said "Still don't like him?"
Manny said "Of course I don't. I think he's a jerk. He always blames me for baseless stuff because of an accident involving pins falling off his chair when he sat down even though I placed them on his desk."
Frida said with a comforting voice "I'm sure he'll get over it."
Manny said "He hasn't gotten over it since kindergarten even though I was proven innocent since then. Plus, he always comes down on innocent students over the smallest things." Then suddenly, his phone buzzing and the words "Mom" appears on it. He told Frida "I've got to go."
Frida shouted "See you later, Manny." She whispered to herself "Stay safe, mi amor."
Manny left the school and ran toward a nearby alley. As he ran, his body started to glow green. When he stopped glowing green his costume appeared: A dark brown tigre suit with green stripes, a tiger mask with tiger ears on it, dark brown boots, dark brown gloves with a green ankh on it, a dark brown tale with green stripes, and a light green tattered cape with a "T" the back. He shouted "Mystic Tigre" before jumping on the rooftop. He ran toward the direction of the Miracle City docks. As soon as he arrived, he was greeted by his mother, Cosmic Cleopatra.
Mystic Tigre said "I'm here mom."
Cosmic tapped her son's head and said "Sorry to call you out of school like that but I really needed your help with something that's being delivered to the Miracle City Museum as we speak."
Mystic asked "What is it?"
Cosmic said "The Tablet of Ra."
Mystic asked "Is dad going to join us?"
Cosmic said "He wanted too but Seventh Samurai needed his and Silver Sombrero's help in dealing with a police escort for prominent Ninja Monster Clan member who's being sent back to Shogun City. Besides, I wanted this to be a mother-son time anyway."
Before they could say anything else, an explosion occurred on the boat. It is El Oso and he's holding all the artifacts in his hand.
"It's El Oso."
"Let's stop him together."
Cosmic Cleopatra and Mystic Tigre jumped down to confront El Oso. He charged both of them but the two dodged the rushing supervillain. Cosmic fired her energy snakes at El Oso to restrain him. He broke from the restraints easily and charged toward Cosmic but El Tigre used his chain claws and wrapped El Oso by the leg in order to trip him. He ran toward him and punched him in the face and almost sent him flying. Cosmic kicked him in the stomach and toward a huge stack of boxes. El Oso got up from this and was about to charge them but Tigre's mystic cats were right in front of him and started scratching his face. Then one of Cosmic's snakes bit him, causing him to feel woozy. This gave mother and son time to run toward El Oso and effectively knock him out.
The Tablet of Ra was taken to the museum safely and El Oso was arrested. When some news crews arrived, they swarmed toward Mystic Tigre. Cosmic Cleopatra stepped away to giver her son some time in the spotlight and make sure El Oso is put in the transport truck. However, she noticed a strong aura coming from his face as a result of her and Tigre punching him. It wasn't just hers but it was also Tigres. Difference is that his far surpassed hers.
Later that night, Cosmic is waiting on the roof of the house for her husband to arrive. As she is waiting, she is looking through a book with the initials "WP + CC Forever" with various different photos of her and White Pantera:White Pantera and Cosmic Cleopatra getting their hero license at the same time, The two of them forming the League of Alliance Society with The Industrialist, Silver Sombrero, Flama Dama, and The Titanium Titan, The team standing on the knocked out body of El Mal Verde with the two of them standing next to each other, They dance together during a superhero dance competition, Having milkshakes together on a rooftop under the moon, Fighting against Dr. Chipotle Sr. and his Jalapeno monster, and Helping the poor together. Her favorite photos of them all involve her and Rodolfo getting married, the two of them learning that Cosmic is pregnant, the day that Manny was born, and every other photo that relates to the three of them.
Just then, a noise could be heard overhead and White Pantera jumps out of a huge hole in the sky holding some flowers.
He says "Hola, Mi Amor. Did I surprise you?"
Cosmic takes the flowers, sniffs them "Nymphaea Lotuses, my favorite." She then gave Pantera a kiss on the lips and asked "How did you get them?"
He explained "Surprisingly, a flower shop had them so I made sure to get you some before I got back."
Cosmic said "They're lovely. So, how did things go with the prison escort?"
Pantera said "We managed to escort the Ninja Monster successfully. Seventh Samurai and Flama Dama took care of the rest. How was your day?"
Cosmic said "Good. While it was slow at the beauty parlor, Manny and I managed to get the Tablet of Ra to the Miracle City Museum safely. We had to deal with El Oso but that wasn't a problem. Manny's cosmic aura has grown stronger. It's only been two months and he's managed to learn to control his cosmic kittens. His powers have been growing for quite some time now."
Pantera said, noticing a worried Cosmic "They have indeed. Last week, when we stopped Giant Robot Sanchez from robbing the Miracle City Mint, his Tigre punch not only went through Sanchez's chest but his claws almost caught on fire. It was brief but I noticed it. Manny hasn't been able to do that since but he would tell me or you about it if it happened again. Either way, he's growing into a fine hero."
Cosmic said "He is. Sooner or later, he'll really want to strike out on his own."
Pantera then gave her a hug "Believe me, mi amor, I've been thinking about that too. I've been thinking about it ever since his powers showed up and he wanted to be a hero like us. Whatever comes next, all we can do is be there for Manny when he needs us the most."
Cosmic said "You're right." She and Pantera started to make out.
The two were about to head inside and get ready for bed (and then go to sleep). But they notice a big explosion coming from the Miracle City bank so they head out to see what's going on with Cosmic riding on Pantera's shoulder as he runs toward the danger.
The next morning, Manny headed for the Suarez house to hang out with Frida. As he is walking there, one of his energy cats appeared and started howling at something. Manny looked to see what it was howling at but saw nothing was there.
He said to the cat "Calm down. Nothing is there." before walking away. What he didn't realize is the cat was right about someone being there. It was a girl with purple-black hair and wearing gothic clothing. She had taken a picture of Manny while he wasn't looking. She looked at the picture and said "Manny my love. One day, you will be mine." before putting it in a scrapbook titled "Manny Rivera: My Future Husband".
Eventually, Manny arrived at the Suarez house. But before he could knock on the door, their guard dogs surrounded him and started barking at him. He was about to use his energy cats to scare them off again but a loud whistle was blown and the dogs calmed down.
It was Chief of Police, Emiliano Suarez. Manny saluted him and said "Chief Suarez, sir."
He said to him "At ease,Rivera. Good to see you. Sorry about the dogs; they're in training and they haven't gotten your scent yet." He blew his whistle again, looked at them with a stern face with both of his eyes, and sent the dogs into the backyard.
Manny said "I see. Good thing you were around before I had my cats scare them off. Is Frida home?"
Chief Suarez said "I'm afraid not. She, Anita, and Nikita are having their sister day today because they missed it the other night due to last minute stake out of the Mustache Mafia's house; specifically, the home of Don Baffi's granddaughter, Sophia Baffi.
Manny said "They think she's a criminal?" He's known Sophia to be a jerk from school and a spoiled brat at best but not a criminal. He's been taught not to judge someone based
Chief Suarez said "It's possible. I don't like to profile young children as supervillains but it is possible that she is one given who she's related to. Plus, Frida has been hearing stuff from other kids about Sophia from school too. But since you are here, can I ask you something?"
Manny said "Frida and I aren't dating." He said that due to most of their encounters revolving around that topic tend to pop up. While Manny has always told him that he and Frida are just friends, he's expressed his approval of Manny dating his daughter, as long as he runs it by him and Carmela first.
Chief Suarez assured him "Not that. Although I don't have a problem if you two did start dating but you would have to run it by me and Carmela first."
Manny said "I know."
Chief Suarez then said "What I was going to ask you is to work with some of our junior police cadets next week. They've been asking about working with you since your father and I tend to work together when he's in town."
Manny said "Sure. What time?"
Chief Suarez said "11 o clock. Nikita will be with you for oversight since these are her cadets."
Manny said "I'll be there."
Just then, one of Manny's cats started acting up again and ran away from Manny. He ran to chase the cat into alley and noticed a figure with blonde flowing hair and wearing a Tigre like costume like his. He says to Manny "Hello Manny Philopator Rivera. My name is Jorge and I would like to recruit you for a team I'm forming."
This one was something I came up with on a whim. Instead of Maria being Manny's birth mother, Cosmic Cleopatra is instead. While it may seem like some shipping fuel to an extent, it shows what Manny's life could be like if he had two superhero parents full time. I know Maria was one too but I still-somewhat define her as a failed hero in some light given that I feel that she gave up on it a little too easily.
As for that ending, it might lead to another project within Other Worlds that I might do but still uncertain of given my schedule.
