A/N So this is the re-make of chapter 2 of El Tigre the new adventures. When I read over this chapter I realized that this was the shortest chapter in the series. Man, I don't know what I was thinking with this one. But here's the re-write version!
El Tigre the new Adventures Season 1 Episode 2 – The Devils eyes
After battling against an evil werewolf and defeating it with the assistance of the art of fire user named Marcus Dupree. Rodolfo's partner Ryumaru makes his decision!
"Did you just say, Team Rivera?" Manny placed his thumb and index finger on his chin and then a grin formed on his face "I LIKE IT!"
"Ryumaru, do you honestly want to add my son into this team?" Rodolfo asked
"Yes, I do Rodolfo. Your son will be a very important asset to our team. He's young and full of potential. Holding him back would really harm him would it?"
Rodolfo sighed. He knew Ryumaru was right. Taking Manny out on missions to different places and possibly fighting new villains would help. Rodolfo couldn't baby Manny anymore. He's getting older.
"You're right Ryumaru…" Rodolfo said looking over at Manny. "Manny…will you join our team?"
Manny's eyes lit up and he jumps in the air shouting "WOOOHOOOO!" and he lands back on the ground "HECK YEAH I'LL JOIN! OH, MAN, THIS IS SOO COOOL!"
"ALRIGHT MANNY!" Frida said excitedly
Manny high fives Frida and they both bounce around excited.
Rodolfo could help but sigh happily at Manny's happiness. Ryumaru turned towards Marcus, who was just standing there looking at his pink pearl necklace. Marcus noticed this and looked up at Ryumaru.
Marcus raised an eyebrow at him "So, I'm guessing you want me to join this group?"
Ryumaru nods "I would like it if you did…umm…sorry I don't know your name."
"You don't' need to." Marcus replied coldly placing his necklace back into his shirt and he walks past Ryumaru "And you can count me out this team thing you got going on here. I didn't come here to join some dumb superhero group."
Manny scowled at him "FINE WHO NEEDS YOU!" He shouted at Marcus as he walked off "Jeez, that guy is such a jerk!"
"Well, that's just a bunch of potential just walking away." Rodolfo said sadly "That's too bad, but we can't just force him to join."
"That is true." Ryumaru nodded in agreement.
"Oh come on we don't need that guy!" Manny said waving him off. "So when are we going on our first mission?!" He said excitedly
"Manny we haven't been called for anything yet." Rodolfo said chuckling at his son's excitement "The President of Miracle city will assign us on a mission when he gets the call so right now we wait."
"Oooh, I can't wait!" Manny said hopping up and down
"Hey, what are we going to do about fluffy over there?" Frida asked pointing her thumb at Volt who reverted back to his human form.
"Oh, I'll take him to the police station." Rodolfo said, "Kids if you please, finish showing Ryumaru around Miracle city." He said as he walked over to Volt and tosses him around his shoulder. "Be good you two!" He said as he took Volt down to the police station.
Manny looked up at Ryumaru "So…anywhere you heard of you want to go to?" He asked
"Uhh, honestly I can't really think of anything." Ryumaru said scratching his cheek "Anywhere you think that's interesting honestly."
Manny started to think, and then it quickly came to him
"I GOT IT!" Manny said with a big smile on his face.
8 minutes of walking later
Manny, Frida, and Ryumaru were at the arcade. Manny and Frida were playing their favorite games while Ryumaru just stood there watching them.
"WATCH OUT FOR THOSE ZOMBIES TO THE RIGHT FRIDA!" Manny shouted
"I GOT THEM I GOT THEM!" Frida shouted back
"OH SHOT BARRICADE THAT DOOR!"
"I'M DOING IT AS FAST AS I CAN"
"AYEEE THE ZOMBIE'S GOT ME!" Frida screamed in terror.
"I'LL SAVE YOU!" Manny yelled frantically massing buttons.
Ryumaru blinked a couple of times
"OH NO! WATCH OUT FOR THAT EXPLODING ONE!" Manny called out
"IT'S RUNNING TOWARDS US! I'M OUT OF AMMO!" Frida screamed
On the arcade screen, the Zombie flopped on them and blew them apart. Big red letters that read GAME OVER appeared across the screen.
"GOSH DANG IT!" Manny said snapping his fingers
"UGH, I hate those things! We always end up running out of ammo when he shows up!" Frida complained
"You wanna play Ryu?" Manny asked turning to him with a smile on his face
"Uhh…no I'm fine. I don't play video games…" Ryumaru replied.
"Oh come on just try it! Video games are good for hand-eye coordination and reflexes and junk," Said Frida
"Yup, the only downside is that it'll probably melt your brain!" Manny said cheerfully
"Uh…is there anywhere else you want to take me? Maybe like a…great view or some sort?" Asked Ryumaru
"Hmmm…" Frida started to think "I GOT IT!"
Another 8 minutes of walking
Manny and Frida stood in front of glass window chuckling and laughing.
"Those puppies are so cute and funny!" Frida giggled
Inside the shop owner was getting attacked by a horde of puppies, screaming in agony.
Ryumaru just stared in worry and shock "Should…we help him?" he asked worriedly
"Oh no, he's fine! They're just playing with him!" Manny said with a smile
"SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME! THESE PUPPIES ARE STRONGER THEN THEY LOOK!" The pet store owner whaled
"Awww look at that one biting on his foot! He's so cute!" Said Frida pointing at the puppy
"WHY DO YOU TWO ALWAYS COME HERE AND LAUGH AT ME! I ALMOST DIED TWICE!"
Ryumaru looked down at Manny and Frida "Umm…this isn't really what I meant by a great view. What I meant is like a famous place with a great view of Miracle city." He explained
Manny and Frida both looked at each other "OOOOOOH!" They both said
"Well, why didn't you say so?" Frida said cheerfully
"Follow us! We'll take you to see a good view of Miracle city!" Manny said happily
The two of them started walking off and Ryumaru followed closely behind.
"DON'T LEAVE ME! SOMEBODY HELP MEEEEE!" The shop owner cried. A large pool of puppies then jumped on him.
…
Manny and Frida took Ryumaru all the way to the top of the Miracle city Volcano. The three of them stood on top of the volcano staring out at the view of the city.
"So what do you think?" Asked Frida as she looked up at Ryumaru
"Well…I have to admit the view is pretty nice. But…" Ryumaru turned around to look down at the volcano "This is a bit dangerous…"
"Nah it's cool! It's just a volcano." Manny said casually
"Definitely, I remember one time Manny and his dad fought Manny's dad's old sidekick down there. It wasn't all that hot." Said Frida
"I see…" Ryumaru said turning back to Manny and Frida
"Hey Ryu, what kind of powers do you have?" Manny asked curiously
"Yeah what can you do?" Frida asked also
"Oh, well allow me to show you." Ryumaru held his right hand over his left. And in under both his right left hand a small little tornado started to form.
"YOU CAN MAKE TORNADO'S?" Manny said shocked
"That's one of the many things I can do." Ryumaru broke apart the small tornado, doing so he sent two small tornados around Manny and Frida's feet and they then began to float in the air.
"OH COOL!" Frida said chuckling
"I'M FINALLY FLYING!" Manny shouted happily
Wind formed around Ryumaru's feet. Ryumaru started floating in the air using the small tornado's he created. Ryumaru floated both Manny and Frida safely back down to Miracle city. The three of them floated down to the Miracle city park. Manny, Frida, and Ryumaru both landed on the ground without any harm at all.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" Manny said hopping in the air
"HECK YEAH!" Frida said with a big smile on her face. She turned to Ryumaru "DUDE HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!"
"That's wind manipulation. I'm an art of wind user." Ryumaru said as he created a small cyclone around his finger. He points his finger at a random soda can that was sitting on a nearby bench and focus's the wind around his index finger to the tip, and fires it. The wind bullet hit the soda can knocking it off the bench. Manny and Frida looked on in awe.
"You see art of wind is a practice that was passed down through my family. It's an art that was created by my ancestor." Ryumaru explained "But it's not as easy as it looks. Practicing art ability takes much Ki practice."
"Like car keys?" Frida said tilting her head
"Wait so there's a key to all of this?" Manny said confused
Ryumaru chuckles "No no no not like actually key's. Ki, the energy that flows in all of us,"
"How does this Ki thing work?" Frida asked
"The main focus of ki is through the heart," Ryumaru points at his heart "Mind," He points at his head "Body," He placed his hand on his chest "And most importantly breathing." "With the focus of energy that is ki through these three vital points. You're able to channel the power that is Ki within you. These are very important practices for Art users."
"Sooo if I practiced these ki thingy's could I actually end up using art of wind?" Frida asked
"Of course," Ryumaru said happily "But it'll probably take years on in before you can probably form power to form wind."
"Well…never mind…" Frida said shrugging.
"How long did it take you to master all of this Ryu?" Manny asked
"Well let's see," Ryumaru started to think "About…17 years. I started training in art of wind when I was six. I formed my first wind cyclone when I was 13. I started to get the hang of wind ability's when I was 18. Annnd…I guess if my math is correct 22 years."
"22 years? Dang…." Said Manny
Ryumaru nods "It took me a while before I could fully say I mastered it."
"So wait…what about that other kid?" Frida asked, "Is he like an Art of fire user then?"
"He is, which the reason why I wanted to recruit him. It's also very surprising to me that there is an art of fire user…"
"What do you mean by that?" Manny asked raising an eyebrow
"Well…when it comes to art ability's, there's art of wind, art of water, art of earth and art of fire. That's the 4 main art abilites that's a practice among elemental families. Of course, there are also lost art ability's as well. Fire was one of them…well, I thought so till today..."
"What happened with art of fire?" Frida asked
"Well…there was one person…hundreds of years ago that appeared out of the sky and fell into a vast ocean. When he fell into the ocean…the ocean turned into blood. And the person that fell into that ocean appeared out of the water...his skin was bright red, horns of the devil, and black wings. He brought fire upon the nearby villagers. That person was the ancestor to art of fire. Art of fire was passed down only to those who were taught it. And it was only taught to 3 people…each passed away. And art of fire was never taught again…well like said…I thought it wasn't…"
"Whoa…" Frida said with her eyes widen a bit.
"So…that guy. He's the only art of fire user?" asked Manny
"It looks to be that way yes." Ryumaru nods "The one detail about art of fire users that was recorded was red eyes. Eye's of the devil."
Frida shivers "Jeez…this is kind of spooky…"
Manny started thinking "Well, his eyes weren't really red at all." he said. "But…" Manny thought "When he used his fire did they go red or was I just seeing things…"
"That's interesting…" Ryumaru said rubbing his chin
"Humph…oh well." Manny said shrugging his shoulders "Hey is anyone hungry?"
Frida shoots her hand in the air "ME! I want a cup and cups of ice cream!"
"Ice cream it is!" Manny said "Ryumaru you want to come?"
"I'm not really in the mood for ice cream but thank you. I think I'll go ahead and head back to my apartment. There's some stuff I have to go over."
"Suit yourself. Hey, Frida I'll race you to the ice cream store!"
"You're on!"
Both Manny and Frida sprinted down the street to the ice cream store.
Ryumaru smiled at both of them "So full of energy." He said cheerfully
…
"H-Hey…just let us go, we won't mess with you again…" Begged a random thug
Marcus kicked him straight him in the gut, making the thug wheeze and cough. "Stupid punks, you're no different from those scumbags back home." He kneeled down and reached into the pocket of the thug and pulls out a stack of money.
Marcus smirks "Well, someone was loaded." He said as he placed the money into his pocket. "Thanks, now I can go out and eat dinner."He said as he walked off.
As Marcus walked down the sidewalk, he couldn't help but feel in ominous presence lingering behind him. Marcus stopped walking and he turned around, seeing a boy wearing a brown hat with the skull on the front. Around his torso, he wore a long bright red cloth with black pants and pointy black boots. He also carried a black guitar around his back."Man…you sure didn't show any mercy to those guys huh? I like that…" Said Django of the dead looking over at Marcus
Marcus narrowed his eyes at Django "Well…a talking skeleton…that's something new for me." He said as he stared at Django
"Well welcome to Miracle city," Django said with a smirk.
"Is there something I can help you with bones?"
"The name is Django. Django, of the dead, and it's not me that wants to talk to you. It's my nana."
Marcus scoffed "What?" he said chuckling "I was hoping to run into some cute girls not one's that way over my age. I hate to do this but tell your grandma I'm not interested." Marcus turned around and started walking off.
"You want to know about the devil's eyes right?" Said Django
Marcus stopped dead in his tracks. Paused for a moment and slowly turned around to eye down Django.
Django's smirk grew wider "If you want to know…" Django walking over to Marcus and hands a piece of paper with the location of Sartana's hideout. "Come to this place…"
Marcus looked down at the piece of paper. He looked up at Django and glared at him "And how does your grandmother know about my family?"
Django shrugs "Beats me. You'll have to meet her and find out." Django said turning around and starts walking off "Take all the time you need."
Marcus looks down at the piece of paper "Well…looks like coming here to Miracle city wasn't such a bad idea after all…" He said as he stuff's the piece of paper into his pocket and turns around started walking.
"I'll pay her a visit right now then…"
…
"That was delicious!" Frida said walking out of the ice cream shop with Manny.
Manny lets out a loud burp "You can say that again!" He said laughing.
Frida looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was starting to set. "Hey Manny, I'm about to head on home. You know how my dad can get if I'm not home by the right time."
"Alright Frida, see ya tomorrow!" Manny said with a smile.
"Bye Manny!" Frida said as she ran down the sidewalk. As she ran she was wondering what her mother was cooking up. Even though Frida ate big portions of ice cream, she always looked forward to what her mother was fixing.
Once she made a left turn. She bumped straight into someone nearly falling down.
"Hey watch it!" Frida said looking up at who she bumped into. "Huh, …it's you…"
Marcus looked at Frida with a smile on his face "Sorry for bumping into you."
Frida chuckles "Nah, I should pay attention to where I'm going."
Marcus started to think "Uhh…Frina right?" He asked
Frida facepalms "it's Frida…" She said irritably
"Frida that's right! I won't forget it this time!" Said Marcus
"Right," Frida said rolling her eyes "Oh hey by the way. I never got the chance to thank you for saving me earlier."
"It was nothing." Marcus replied, "I was just in the right place at the right time."
"So what do you think of Miracle city so far? Pretty crazy at times huh?"
Marcus chuckles "Not really…this place is no different from home honestly…" He said as his smile quickly went away
"Really, where are you from?" Frida asked
"Nowhere important," Marcus said quickly as he walked past her "I would stay and chit chat but I have somewhere to be."
Frida looked at Marcus as he walked off. "He could at least tell me his name…" She thought as she turned forward and headed on home.
…
The sky was now dark and full of stars as Marcus Dupree arrived at Sartana of the dead's hideout. Marcus stared at the hideout that looked to be an old prison that was long forgotten. Inside the old prison, Marcus could hear the sound of someone playing a melody on a guitar. A loud click could be heard from the large iron doors, and they slowly opened. Marcus stepped inside. The inside of the old prison was full of gold coins, diamonds, gold crowns, gold scepters, and golden necklaces. But standing around those fortunes were tall, skeleton banditos with bright red eyes.
Then, a cold dark feminine voice spoke to Marcus "I see...so you came…"
Marcus looked forward. Sitting on a throne build with bones was her. Dressed in a bright red dress and red sombrero, holding a golden guitar with black skull and bones mark on it was Sartana of the dead. Standing next to the throne was her grandson, Django of the dead.
Marcus turned around to see the iron doors behind close, and the clicked as it locked.
"Welcome young one. You arrived pretty quickly…" Sartana said with a wicked smirk.
Marcus walked forward. He looked around at the vast treasures around him. "A nice collection you have here…" He said
"Do you like?" Sartana asked
"It's nothing I'm really interested in," Marcus replied as he looked back up at her.
Sartana lets out a dark chuckle "Of course…"
"So…from what I've heard you have some important information you want to tell me," Marcus said getting straight to the point.
"Yes, I do. Let me ask...your last name is Dupree am I right?" Sartana asked
Marcus slightly narrowed his eyes at her "Yes it is…" He answered
Sartana grins "Let me see…those beautiful red eyes…I just want to make sure…"
Marcus clenches his fist in irritation. Using his devil eyes wasn't something he uses for entertainment. He just took a deep breath and closes his eyes. Then he opens them. His eyes now had the bright red symbol of the pentagram.
Sartana lets out a delighted chuckle "Yes…those wonderful fierce eyes. The Devil's eyes are so wonderful, yet dangerous and powerful. You don't know the history of your family do you?"
Marcus closes his eyes and he quickly re-opens them. His eyes reverted back to normal. "That's why I'm here. Your grandson over there told me that you can tell me all about my ancestors!"
"I could..."
"You could?" Marcus said taken aback
"Yes, unless you do something for me." Said Sartana gently strumming the string to her mystic guitar
"And exactly what is it that you want me to do for you?" Marcus asked. At this point, his rage was already building quickly.
"You seem to be a very strong and skilled boy. If you want me to tell you about your ancestors, take care of a certain person…"
Marcus glared at Sartana "Excuse me?"
"Kill El Tigre…" Sartana snarled
A vein appeared on Marcus's forehead "You want me to what?"
"Kill El Tigre…and then I'll tell you what you want…" Sartana said "It's very simple. I'm sure someone of your caliber can easily handle El Tigre…"
Marcus began to chuckle, then his chuckle turned into a loud laugh.
"Is something funny?" Sartana asked
"It's just hilarious. Someone like you can't even take care of kitten-like that El Tigre kid. Why do you want me to do it? Because you're too weak to do it yourself?" Marcus mocked
"HEY! YOU WATCH WHAT YOU SAY!" Django roared
"I'm speaking the truth. You two must be some big bad super villains but I bet its all talk. You must get your asses kicked on a daily basis. That's why you want someone who's better to do the job for you!"
"Is that right?" Sartana said as she stopped strumming the strings on her mystic guitar. "Do you really think of me as a weak old woman because of these poor old bones?"
Marcus noticed something. His breathing began to slow down. He felt lightheaded and his vision was becoming blurry. He started to slightly wobble left and right, his legs became weak making him unable to stand.
"Is something wrong?" Sartana asked in a fake worried tone "You look ill."
"D-Damn it…what the hell…" Marcus groaned. He placed his hand on his chest and his breathing began to slow down.
Django let out a sinister chuckle and walked over to Marcus. "Not so tough now are you punk?"
"What did you do to me?" Marcus said through his teeth glaring up at Sartana
"That's called the melody of the fallen morale." Sartana said with a grin "Once you hear its melody your body will slowly start to shut down. It's something I thought while waiting for you."
"Goddamn it…" Marcus said as his arms felt weak. He could hardly lift them.
"Don't worry though. This little melody is only temporary. But you won't be living long enough for it to wear off." Sartana said as she and Django point her mystic guitar at Marcus ready to fire their lasers at him.
Fire swarmed around Marcus's body and he released a shockwave that knocked Sartana, Django, and everyone back. Fire appeared around Marcus's hand, and lets out a loud scream and punches his fire covered hand to the ground causing a massive explosion that blew the roof off of Sartana's hideout.
Manny, who was lying in his bed reading a comic, felt the entire apartment complex shake.
"Huh?" Manny said as he hops out of his bed and looks out the window. He saw a large surge of fire erupt into the sky "What the heck is that all about?"
Back at the Sartana's hideout, Marcus lied on the ground huffing and puffing. His vision was starting to come back to him and his body was regaining his strength.
"NANA THIS BOY HAS DESTROYED OUR HIDEOUT!" Django shouted
"Oh, dear…and I really did like this place." Sartana said as she and Django walked out of the smoke.
Marcus gets to his feet and stared down Sartana and Django "Bullshit…how the hell did you two survive that?!" he said shocked
Sartana lets out a loud cackling laugh "If you think that that will get rid of us…you're sadly mistaken!" Sartana strums her mystic guitar firing a heavy laser that hit Marcus directly in his chest knocking him to the ground.
Marcus let out a loud scream of pain as he fell to the ground. Smoke resonating off the top of his chest.
"AHAHAHA I LIKE THE WAY HE SCREAMS!" Django said whipping out his guitar. A dark red aura appeared around his guitar. Django slams his mystic guitar the ground and sending a rumbling shockwave that tore through the ground heading towards Marcus.
Marcus rolled out of the way avoiding Django's attack. Marcus hops to his feet. Marcus takes a deep breath and spits out a large wave of fire from his mouth.
"DRAGON'S BREATH!" Marcus roared.
"Oh please…" Sartana said as she quickly strummed her guitar. A red spear appeared around Sartana and Django. The fire hit the spear and Marcus's attack was neutralized.
"Oh give me a damn break…" Marcus said frustrated
"You know. You wouldn't be in this predicament if you just agreed to kill El Tigre." Said Sartana
"Oh shut the hell up. I'm not killing anybody for anyone." Marcus said as a strong surge of fire engulfed his fist. The fire larger and raged fiercer.
"Then I guess you'll die here…" Sartana said as she started strumming her guitar once again. Two small holes appeared around Sartana. And out of the small holes came large red hands that lunged at Marcus.
"ART OF FIRE," Marcus began "FLAME SERPENT!" Marcus shouted placing his hands on the ground and giant flaming serpent erupts from out of the ground and rushes towards Sartana's attack. The flame serpent beats out Sartana's attack and heads straight for her.
Django hops in front of Sartana. He gripped his guitar tightly and swings It upward sending a strong force slashed the sliced through Marcus's serpent, cutting it in half and hit him directly.
Marcus let out a cry of pain as they attack hit him and knocked him to the ground.
"Thank you, Django. That was very sweet of you." Sartana said smiling at her grandson
Marcus lied on the ground flat on his back. He groaned as he slowly rose up and coughs. Django charged forward leaped into the air and was coming down towards Marcus to land a strong two feet stomp on him. Marcus in time moved out of the way, gets to his feet and covers his right leg in a rage of fire and kicks Django in the stomach sending him crashing into a nearby tree.
"ART OF FIRE FLAME BULLETS!" Marcus shouted holding with hands stuck out as if he was pointing guns and rapidly shoots out fire bullets from his fingertips at Django.
Django quickly strums his mystic guitar making an opening on the ground and hops into the hole.
Sartana strums her mystic guitar and rapidly fires lasers at Marcus. Marcus turned around and ran as fast as he could to avoid the lasers.
Django's hands came up from out of the ground and grabs Marcus around his ankles stopping him from running
"S-SHIT!" Marcus shouted
Sartana's rapidly fired her lasers at Marcus. The best he could do is hold up his arms and block the lasers.
Sartana stopped firing. Marcus slowly held down his arms and glared at Sartana.
"Humph…tough skin you got there." Said Sartana
Django burst through the ground with an uppercut to Marcus's jaw knocking him to the ground.
"Tch, you really aren't all that tough are you?" Django said grinning down at Marcus.
"He might not be, but I am."
Django looked up seeing Manny swoop in and kick Django straight in the face knocking him to the ground and making him slide over to Sartana.
"El Tigre!" Sartana snarled
"In the flesh," Manny said, "Unlike you two!"
Marcus opened his eyes and looked up at Manny "Where the hell did you come from?" he said through the pain
"Just be glad I got here in time!" Manny glared down at Marcus "What the heck are you even doing here?!"
"That can be saved for later if we live or not," Marcus said getting to his feet.
"You know what," Said Django "I'm actually glad you came here El Tigre. I can get rid of you and that pesky jerk over there!" He threatened while pointing his mystic guitar at the two of them
"I can't believe you got me in this situation!" Manny whispered angrily at Marcus
"I didn't ask for your help!" Marcus whispered back "Anyway you fight these two all the time, what's the trick?"
"Just destroy their guitars and they'll disappear," Manny whispered to him
"Is that it?" Marcus replied, "If that's how it is…" A fire erupted around his hands "I got this for sure!"
"Well good follow m-"But before Manny could say anything Marcus already rushed in.
Marcus rushed on in and went for Django. Django swung his mystic guitar at Marcus. Marcus clenched his fist and hit Django's guitar with all his might. But to Marcus's surprise, the guitar didn't break. This piece of wood didn't break at all.
"What?" Marcus said in disbelief
Django flips his guitar and points the tip at Marcus and fires a laser. Marcus was knocked back straight over to Manny.
"Did you even hit it hard enough?" Manny asked
"It was like I was hitting steal!" Marcus said, "I hit that damn guitar as hard as I needed to!"
This time Django rushed in and swung his guitar at Manny. Manny ducked, extends his claws and slashed at Django's guitar. Once he did sparks flew off the clash like Manny had slashed against steel.
"HUH?" Manny said shocked
Django grips his guitar and smacks Manny in the head with it, sending him flying into the air and landing on the ground.
Sartana grinned "I'm sorry to say this El Tigre. But destroying our guitars won't be as easy as it use to be." She said darkly.
"D-Dang it, what did they do to those guitars?" Manny said getting to his feet.
Marcus growled, "I'm getting really tired of this!" He said as devils' eyes went active. Once Marcus's Devils eyes went active, he instantly saw a light red glow around both Sartana's and Django's guitars. "What heck is that around the guitars?" Marcus thought.
With one strum of Sartana's guitar, undead bandits came shooting out of the ground and into the air. They all aimed straight for Marcus. Manny extends both his claws, leaped into the air and cuts down each undead bandit that Sartana summoned.
Fire formed around Marcus's fist and punches it to the ground creating a wall of fire blocking both Sartana and Django from him and Manny.
"Hey Catt kid, when I used my devil's eyes I saw some strange aura around their guitars! It's what's probably making their guitars hard to destroy!" Marcus quickly said to him.
Manny stared at Marcus's red eyes. "Y-You did have those red eyes…" he said to him.
"DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID FURBALL?!" Marcus shouted at him
"U-Uh yeah I did, you said something about an Aura around the guitars!" Manny replied quickly, but then realized "HEY WHO'RE YOU CALLING A FURBALL?!"
Suddenly bursting through the wall of fire was a large skeleton-like hand grabs Manny and hoists him into the air. Sartana hand summoned a big skeleton-like beast with long arms. Sartana stood on top of the skeleton beast letting a loud evil cackling laugh. Manny let out a cry of pain as the skeleton creature was crushing Manny in its grasp.
Marcus rushed in to help but Django stood in his way.
"Going somewhere hot head?" Django said with a smirk.
"You boney bastards are getting on my nerves!" Marcus said frustrated. His devil eyes let out a bright glow.
"Good!" Django said charging at Marcus and swings his mystic guitar at Marcus.
Marcus catches the guitar with his bare hand. A red aura formed around Marcus's hand. Once Marcus touched Django's guitar a bright flash erupted on Django's guitar and pushed both of them back.
Django looks at his guitar "What the heck was that?" he said examining his guitar. "What the heck happened to the protector?!"
Marcus stared at Django's guitar and noticed that aura shield was gone "How did I do that?" He said looking at his hand. He could see a red flow of energy around his hand.
Django glared at Marcus "Don't think just because you broke the protection around my guitar I won't back dow-"
Suddenly a loud roar erupted from behind Django. Manny, with a fierce roar he broke out the grasp of the skeleton creature and lands on the ground on all fours. He looks up at Sartana and the Skeleton creature with his green primal eyes. A green aura was raging around Manny's body.
"What?" Sartana said confused
The giant skeleton creature brings his hand down near Manny. Manny, with one slash of his claws he cuts the skeleton creature's hand into multiple pieces. Manny jumps high into the air and launches his grappling hook. His grappling hook shoots out like it was shot out of cannon and pierces through the skeleton creatures chest, leaving a large whole.
Manny dashes down at the Skeleton creature with both his claws extended. In a flash, the entire skeleton creature was cut into pieces. The skeleton creature fell apart and Sartana was falling with it. Manny appeared above her, his grappling hook hand spinning quickly.
"RIVERA, TIGER!" Manny began
"NOOOOO!" Sartana screamed
"PISTOL!" He screamed launching his grappling hook at Sartana. His grappling hook pierced through Sartana's guitar and Sartana himself. Once Sartana's guitar was broken, that was it. Sartana was gone in a small explosion. Manny lands on the ground. He was huffing and puffing as the green aura around his body slowly faded off his body.
"NANA!" Django cried.
"Holy crap…" Marcus said staring at Manny
"Rats…" Django said. "THIS ISN'T OVER El TIGRE!" he shouted as he strums his mystic guitar and ground below split open and hops down in the hole and disappears.
"That's right you boney brat you better run…" Marcus said as he falls down flat on his butt. "DAMN THAT WAS ANNOYING!" he shouted.
The green aura around Manny's body faded away and wobbles a bit. "Whoa…" Manny said "That…was one heck of a rush…"
"MANNY!" Frida called out to him.
Both Manny and Frida turned around to see Frida and Ryumaru rush over to them.
"ARE YOU GUYS OK?" Frida asked frantically
"Yeah we're fine, nothing to worry about," Said Manny with a smile
"What happened here?" Ryumaru asked
"Just dealing with skeletons is all…nothing too bad…" Marcus said breathlessly
"Yeah…fighting Sartana of the dead and Django was nothing to bad at all." Manny said glaring down at Marcus.
"You two were fighting Sartana of the dead and Django? So that explains the big explosion then." Frida said
"That was actually caused by this guy." Manny said pointing his thumb down at Marcus "You still didn't ask my question. Are you that cocky that you just decided "HEY I'M GOING TO CHALLENGE THE BADDEST VILLIAN IN MIRACLE CITY!"
"You started a fight with Sartana?" Frida said looking down at Sartana in shock "Hold on! Sartana was the person you were going to meet?!"
"Wait wait wait! Why were you meeting with Sartana?!" Manny asked suspiciously
Marcus takes a deep breath and gets to his feet "I met up with Sartana because apparently according to her boney grandson, she had information about my ancestors."
"She had Information about your ancestors?" Manny repeated confused
"Yeah…I thought she was going to tell me about them. But in order to get the information I wanted…she wanted me to kill you." Marcus said pointing at Manny.
"Yup…that sounds like something she would scheme up…" Frida said nodding.
"But of course…I'm not going to kill anyone just to find out about my family history," Marcus said self messaging his neck with his right hand.
"So…you don't know much about your ancestors?" Ryumaru asked
"Nope, …my mom and dad didn't really tell me about them. I'm sure at one point in the future they would have." Said Marcus
"How come they never did?" Manny asked
"That's none of your business," Marcus replied quickly with a bit of aggression in his voice.
"Hey…I was just asking…" Manny said quietly
"You're a Dupree right?" Asked Ryumaru
Marcus turned to Ryumaru "Yes…" he replied
"You bare the Devils eyes…am I correct?"
Marcus was quiet for a second and said: "Yeah I do…"
"This really is fascinating…an art of fire user with the Devils eyes. At your young age…" Ryumaru said astounded
"Well, I'm glad you're fascinated. Unless you know anything about this power and my ancestor's then tell me." Marcus said aggressively
"Well…I only know a bit of history…not any detail abou-"
"I already know about the art of fire and small details. I'm talking about this." Marcus said activating his Devil's eyes.
Ryumaru sighed "I'm sorry but no…"
"Tch…" Marcus closes his eyes and opens them. His eyes were back to normal. He looks over at Manny "Thanks by the way…for backing me up…"
"Oh…" Manny was a bit surprised at the sudden thanks "No problem…Uhh…" Manny still didn't know his name.
"Marcus…Marcus Dupree…" Marcus said
"Marcus Dupree…is that French?" Frida asked
"Maybe," Marcus said as he walked past them "By the way, that's some crazy power you got." He said as he walked off.
"What crazy power?" Frida asked looking at Manny.
"OH!" Manny said suddenly remembering "I GOT TO TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED!"
Manny went on to explain how he went into a sudden surge of power when he was getting crushed by Sartana's Skeleton creature.
"WHOA DUDE! DO YOU THINK THAT'S A NEW POWER?!" Frida asked excitedly
"IT COULD BE! OH MAN, I WISH YOU WERE HERE TO SEE ME KICK BUTT!" Manny responded as excited as Frida sounded.
"I KNOW RIGHT?! UGH, I WISH I WOULD HAVE STAYED OUT A BIT LONGER!"
Ryumaru looked at Manny and then started to think about Marcus. "Hmm…Manny is unlocking more power to his El Tigre belt. And that boy Marcus, his potential is just as great…" He looked around the area. He stared at what use to Sartana's hideout.
"This team couldn't look any more perfect…"
