A/N I haven't worked on a remake chapter in a bit. So I thought I'd make up chapter 6 for season 1 sorry for the wait on that! Anyway enjoy!
P.S I know…it's a very long chapter
El Tigre the new adventures Season 1 Episode 6 – Battle in Ven's Vill!
Manny stood there surrounded by the many Kunai's that were hovering around him and Marcus. There was literally no escape, or a way to get away from it. His dad and Ryumaru were too far out to make it to them in time. Manny didn't know what to do at all. He couldn't deflect all of the Kunai that came his way.
Adrian hops up to the building where Chio was standing and says to her "What're you waiting for? Hurry up and kill them." He said to her impatiently
"B-But Adrian…" Chio said hesitantly "They're just kids!"
"Chio we need to take them out now! HURRY UP AND DO IT!" Adrian roared.
Chio hands were shaking. She looked down at Manny and Marcus. Chio could see the helpless look in Manny's eyes. Chio has taken many lives before in her life. Has done things she could never forgive herself for. But she has never in her life ever taken the life of kids.
"CHIO JUST DO IT DAMN IT!" Adrian shouted at her.
Chio shut her eyes and she slings each and every single one of the Kunai's at Manny and Marcus. Manny didn't know what to do. All he did was shut his eyes and wait for them to hit him. Marcus hops into the air with fire raging around his entire body. He spins, and fire burst from his body creating a dome that sealed him and Manny in it. The Kunai's that were slung at the two of them were repelled off the fire dome.
"WHAT?!" Adrian said in disbelief.
"H-He solidified the fire creating a dome deflecting my Kunai's…" Chio explained.
"That little brat…" Adrian snarled "We should have killed him when we had the chance."
The fire faded off and Marcus stood in front of Manny. He turned around and stared at him "Heh…you should've seen the look on your face. You were like a frightened little kitten…" He chuckled. "Now we're even."
Manny scoffed "Whatever." He said rolling his eyes.
Adrian glared at Chio "Darn it you should've just taken the shot when you had the chance!" She snapped
Chio sighed "I'm sorry...I won't hesitate again…" She said to him
"Good…" Adrian said staring down at Manny and Marcus.
"Better be ready…" Marcus said to Manny
"Of course I am!" Manny said extending his claws.
"Let's end this quick Chio! I don't want to waste anymore time!" Adrian said gripping his metal spear. "Give me support. I'm going in."
"Right…" Chio said nodding.
Adrian leaps up into the air and dives down at Manny and Marcus. Marcus launched two fireballs at Adrian. Adrian turned his metal spear into a shield blocking Marcus's fireballs. Adrian flips in the air and attempts to land a kick at Marcus. Marcus back flips out of the way and Manny rushes in to throw a right punch at Adrian. Adrian moves his head to the right avoiding Manny's punch, Manny followed up with a couple of jabs and kicks which Adrian was blocking with ease. He side sweeps Manny's legs causing Manny to fall over on his back. Adrian turns his metal shield back into a spear and he raises it up ready to stab Manny till Marcus intervened and kicks Adrian in the chest causing Adrian to slide back on his feet.
Marcus rushed Adrian with his hands covered in fire. "SLICK HAIRED SON OF A BITCH!" he roared throwing a flaming punch at Adrian. Adrian leaps out of the way and Marcus's flaming punch connects to the building and the fire goes straight through it and comes out at the end.
Marcus looks up seeing Chio leap off the building, sparkles of light appear around her hand and she slings 10 Kunai's at him. Marcus yanks his hand out of the wall and leaps back avoiding the Kunai's that pierced into the ground where Marcus was standing.
Chio lands on the ground gracefully and lunges at Marcus with a knife in her hand and swings it at him. Chio slashes at Marcus stomach. Marcus moves his body to the left and right as Chio targeted Marcus's vitals. As one of the thrust went for Marcus's heart, Marcus grabs Chio's wrist and flips her onto her back. Chio raises her legs over her upper body and wraps her legs around Marcus's neck and flips him over her landing flat on his side. Chio gets to her feet and hurry's over to Marcus, raises her blade and stabs it down at Marcus. But the blade missed. It was in inches away from Marcus's face. Marcus stared up at the kitten mask that Chio was wearing. Marcus took advantage of this and raises his head up quickly and head butts Chio. Her head yanks back at the impact and she stumbles back. Marcus hops to his feet and punches her in the stomach and kicks her in the face knocking her to the ground.
"Tch what the hell was that?" Marcus asked confused
Chio didn't say anything. Another blade appears in her hand and she gets to her feet and turns to Marcus. Chio stared at Marcus for a bit. Marcus stared back while he was on guard. Chio makes another Kunai appear in her hand and flame appears around Marcus's right hand.
"I can't afford…to lose to you people…" Chio said shaky voice.
"That's too bad…" Marcus responded "Sorry but I can't just let you guys wander off freely…"
Chio lowered her head and softly said "I know…"
Marcus stared at Chio. What was this feeling? The way she sounded through her mask. She tired but not in exhausted way. It seemed so familiar to him but what?
Meanwhile, both Manny and Adrian were battling each other. Manny would cut through every single bit of Metal Adrian would throw at Manny. Manny lunges at Adrian and slashes his claws at him but missed when Adrian leaped high into the air. Manny stared up at Adrian as he just floated in the air like he weightless. Adrian grinned at him and began to laugh.
"GET DOWN HERE AND FIGHT ME YOU COWARD!" Manny roared.
"Nah I think I'm good up here!" Adrian taunted and grinned.
Manny growled and he leaps off the ground and was able to reach the height Adrian height but he flips over Manny, steps on Manny's back and lands back on the ground next to some broken cars. Manny lands on the ground as well and turns to Adrian with a frustrated expression on his face.
"STOP RUNNING FROM ME!" Manny screamed at him
Adrian laughs "You're so easy I swear. That's why they shouldn't make kids do the grownups work."
"Oh please!" Manny charges at Adrian throwing a punch at him. Adrian side steps to the right avoiding Manny's punch. Manny spins around with his left arm out attempting to whack Adrian across the head Adrian blocks it with his right arm. Manny leaps off the ground a couple of feet and backdrop kicks Adrian in the chest causing Adrian to stagger back. Manny launches his grappling hook at Adrian, wraps the chains around him Manny jumps in the air and crashes his feet down on him.
"Don't underestimate me just because I'm a kid!" Manny said viciously.
"Noted…" Adrian said jerking his head to right.
Manny looked to left seeing a metal trashcan fly towards him and smacks him across the head. Manny falls to the ground and holds his head. The chain that was wrapped around Adrian loosens and he gets free.
Adrian holds out his hands to the broken down cars that were near him. One by one the cars began to shrink and turn into some kind of armor. But the armor wasn't for Adrian. The metal claps of armor flings over to towards Manny and it wraps around his upper body.
"HEY WHAT THE HECK?!" Manny bellowed.
"Sorry but this isn't to protect you." Adrian said moving his index finger up. As he did so, Manny went upward into the air and was slung straight into a building with impact. He was then slung straight into a pole, the ground, and had his head rammed into a car window and slammed on the ground flat on his back.
"Ooooooh…" Manny groaned. He was dazed, that last hit had his head spinning.
"We don't have time to be wasting on these punks…" Adrian scoffed
Adrian turned around to check on Chio. Chio was still fighting Marcus hand to hand.
"CHIO! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Adrian shouted at her "STOP PLAYING WITH HIM AND KILL HIM!"
Chio swings her blade at Marcus. Marcus back stepped out of the way, takes a deep breath and a strong stream of fire came rushing out of his mouth. "ART OF FIRE! BLAZE OF GLORY!"
Chio jumps high into the air avoiding the stream of fire. Chio lands back down on the ground. Marcus sighed and rubs the back of his head.
"You've been holding back quite a bit haven't you?" Marcus asked
Chio didn't reply. She just stood there staring at him.
"Be honest. Your hearts not really into this isn't it?"
Chio formed a fist in her left hand and clenched in frustration.
"Trust me I can tell…You don't want to continue fighting. You just want to stop." Marcus went on. "I know that feeling…just wanting to stop when you're tired…"
The sky was grey. Lighting was beginning to strike and thunder was booming. Chio turned around to look at Adrian who was staring at her with anger in his eyes. She lowered her head and sighed.
"No…I don't." Chio replied "But…if I don't…I won't be able to be with him anymore. We won't be able to live the life we've always wanted." She rubbed her left arm softly "The life we dreamed off."
Adrian clenched his teeth "Damn it…what is she doing running her mouth?!" He said through his teeth.
Adrian heard the sounds of claws being sheathed and metal being torn. He quickly turns around and was greeted by a straight punch in the face from Manny. Adrian was knocked to the ground and he held his face and groaned in pain.
"Rule number 1 of combat! Never take your eyes away from your opponent!" Manny said with a smirk.
"You little shit!" Adrian snarled
Manny hops in the air and attempts to land straight onto Adrian but he rolls out of the way just in time before Manny collided with the ground. Adrian quickly tapped Manny on the back then hops high into the air heading over to where both Chio and Marcus were and lands behind Marcus, tapping him on his shoulder. Adrian jumps back into the air and clasp his hands together
"COLIDING MAGNEITC FORCE!" Adrian shouted.
"What?" Marcus said confused. Then he began to notice something was pulling him forward.
It was happening to Manny as well as he was getting pulled forward. Chio hopped out of the way and both Manny and Marcus were flying towards each other at their own will. They crashed into each other face to face.
"D-DAMN IT WHAT THE HECK?!" Marcus shouted trying to shove Manny away from him. "GET OFF ME!"
"I CAN'T! WE'RE STUCK TOGETHER!" Manny said trying as hard as Marcus was trying to pull away from each other.
"OH YOU GOTTA BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!" Marcus screamed in disbelief
"CHIO! YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!" Adrian said to her
Chio nods hopped high into the air. She held out her hands and sparkles of light appeared around her. Chio screamed as the hundreds of blades rained down near Manny and Marcus.
"OH CRAP!" Manny screamed
"SHIT!" Marcus cried
Then a strong gust of wind circled around both Manny and Marcus. Each blade that was heading towards them were repelled off the strong gust of wind making clanging noises as if it were hitting against solid material.
"What?!" Both Adrian and Chio said in unison
"HIJO! ARE YOU OK?!" Rodolfo cried running over to both Manny and Marcus.
"DAD!" Manny said happily
"That was close." Ryumaru said sighing in relief "Three seconds late and they would have been goners."
"My goodness, you two were so scared you're hugging each other in fear!" Rodolfo said to them.
"YOU MASKED IDIOT! WE'RE NOT HUGGING WE'RE STUCK TOGETHER!" Marcus roared at Rodolfo
"No need to hide it's alright! Show affection to another boy is nothing wrong at all! No need to hide it!"
"ARGH!" Marcus groaned in annoyance
"Yup I know that feeling all too well…" Manny said with a sigh
"He's an art of wind user…" Chio said
"Great…we wasted too much time." Adrian said "Chio…" He looks over at her
Chio looked at Adrian
"It's time for you to let go…"
Chio gasped "B-But Adrian I…"
"Don't you want to finally live at peace?! We need to end this now! I want to spend eternity with you and love you without any worries! We can't if we're locked up! NOW LET GO!"
Chio just stared at Adrian. She slowly turned her head towards Manny, Rodolfo, Ryumaru and Marcus. Chio hands were shaking uncontrollably. She began breath quickly and then, suddenly she went still, white aura was surrounding her body.
Adrian grinned "It's all over now…"
Ryumaru eyes widened "Rodolfo…be on guard!" he warned
"Huh? What do you mean? What's happening?!" Rodolfo asked frantically
"She's going into desperation mode!"
…
"Thank you for helping me clean around the house Frida," Melissa said sincerely "It's pretty tiring doing it by myself."
"No problem Ms. H! I just can't sit around and let you do everything by yourself!" Frida said with a smile.
Melissa giggled as she placed the sofa cushions back onto the couch. After she did so she paused and a worried expression appeared across her face.
"Uh…are you ok Ms. H?" Frida asked tilting her head a bit
"Huh? Oh I'm sorry I was day dreaming is all…" Melissa said quickly getting to her feet and she suddenly fell over on the couch and held her head.
"Whoa Ms. H!" Frida said going over to her and sitting down next to her.
"I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" Melissa said placing her head in the palm of her hand. "I just…things have been so stressful and all. Ever since…my husband's passing, I'm so worried about Andrew…growing up without a father…"
"Yeah…that will probably…be pretty rough…" Frida said rubbing the back of her neck. She didn't really know what to say to Melissa at all to try and cheer her up. "But hey…Manny and the other's capture the bad guys it'll kind of be like…uhhh…revenge in a sort of way right?"
"I…guess so…" Melissa said quietly.
Frida sat there with Melissa patting her back softly. Melissa looks at Frida and asked
"Frida…don't you ever worry about Manny? You seem so carefree and…relaxed."
"Well…yeah I do worry about Manny a lot. Haha, I mean I could never actually tell Manny that." Frida said with a chuckle "I'm always by his side watching him fight. I worry a lot about how the outcome will turn out…I know Manny will always come out on top when he fights, Rivera's never give up after all."
Melissa smiled "I see…" She then gets to her feet "I'm so sorry for making you feel sad in anyway. I just haven't talked to anyone about how I felt in so long."
"Hey don't worry about it its fine." Frida said happily
"I'll be right back. I'm going to go upstairs and check on Andrew." Melissa said as she goes around the couch and heads upstairs
"Alright," Frida nodded
Melissa walks down the hallway to her son's room and knocks on the door. There was no answer. "Andrew?" Melissa said knocking on his door once more but again there was no answer. Melissa opens the door to Andrew's room and steps in. She lets out a loud gasp seeing that Andrew's bed was empty and the window to his room was open.
"ANDREW!" Melissa screamed at the top of her lungs.
Frida hops off the couch and hurries upstairs "MS. H WHAT'S WRONG?!" She said running over to her.
"IT'S ANDREW HE'S GONE!" Melissa cried as she drops to his knees.
"What?!" Frida said looking into the room and then looks at the window
"No no no…where could he have gone? Why did he leave?" Melissa sobbed as she buried her face into her hands.
Frida began to think. Where could have Andrew gone? Where would he just sneak off to? Then it hit Frida and her eyes widen.
"Oh no…" Frida said in horror
…
"What is this Desperation mode?" Rodolfo asked
"Desperation mode is an ability that the silent blade style users use when in a tight spot against strong foes. It unleashes the full potential of the silent blade style to its max while increasing speed and strength…but its drawback is draining its user completely of Ki." Ryumaru explained.
"That does not sound good…" Rodolfo said worriedly.
A force burst out from Chio. Her whole body was brimming with white aura. Chio began to hover in the air. Sparkles of light were resonating around her body. Chio exhales and she holds out her hand. A circle of white sparkles appeared that transformed into giant shurikens. She tossed one that transformed into six. Ryumaru held out his hands a strong gust of wind blew from it that repelled the shurikens.
Chio zips over to where both Rodolfo and Ryumaru were standing and hovered in the air. In both of her hands she had two katanas and sends an X slash at the two of them.
Rodolfo and Ryumaru had dodged this but for some reason they both had deep cut wounds on their shoulders.
Chio went for Rodolfo and slashed relentlessly at him. Rodolfo was able to dodge the first few slashes but was stabbed in the shoulder and in his right leg a couple of times.
Ryumaru leaped in and formed a solid air sword around his arm and he swings it Chio. Chio back flips over Ryumaru and does a spinning kick connecting with Ryumaru's head knocking him to the ground. Chio landed on the ground and turns around seeing Rodolfo sending his leg towards her way. Chio ducked then Rodolfo brought his leg down near Chio. Chio rolled out of the way and zips past Rodolfo cutting his shoulder deeply. Chio does it again, and again and again, leaving cuts across Rodolfo's body. Rodolfo was covering his face with his arms making sure he wouldn't get blinded by any of Chio's attacks.
Rodolfo spotted Chio for a split second before she was about to attack and does a spinning kick that connected with Chio's face. Chio back flipped away and lands on her feet.
"Ugh…" Rodolfo winched "I've never fought against anyone that fast before!"
There was slight crack in Chio's mask from Rodolfo kick. "You predicted where I was coming from that quickly huh? Interesting," she said as the white aura began to grow wider and brighter.
Ryumaru gets to his feet and stands next to Rodolfo "Sorry about this. It's my first time going up against a Silent Blade Style user."
"No worries Ryumaru! With team work and strong determination we can get through anything!" Rodolfo said cheerfully
"Is that so?" Chio said tilting her head slightly. "Well then…"
Rodolfo and Ryumaru stared at Chio as she stood there.
"I'll just have to cut down your determination…" Chio whispered to the two of them.
Rodolfo and Ryumaru turned around and saw Chio standing behind her. Chio summoned up two knives and stabbed them both in the back while the clone of Chio tossed ten different blades at Rodolfo and Ryumaru piercing them in the shoulders, legs arms.
"DAD!" Manny called out to him. He tried to break free from the magnetism but couldn't "WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!"
"I'M TRYING!" Marcus said shoving Manny as hard as he could. "DAMN IT HOW THE HELL DO WE GET OUT OF THIS?!"
Marcus looked over at Adrian. He began to notice something. A couple of veins were popping around his head. He seemed to be slightly struggling with something.
"I get it…" Marcus said clenching his fist tightly. Fire was surging around his hand and completely engulfed his arm.
"Hey watch your arm man!" Manny said moving his head back away from the tense heat.
"ART OF FIRE…" Marcus said as the fire began to crackle "KING COBRA!"
Bursting from Marcus's arm and into the air was a large, wide and serpent that took the form of Cobra snake. The snake opened its mouth and lunged down at Adrian. Adrian's eyes widen as he saw the incoming fire cobra and he jumps high into the air. The flaming Cobra hit's the ground creating a large pool of fire.
Once Adrian lost his focus both Manny and Marcus were free to separate. Manny smiled and shouts "WOOHOO!" with his hands in the air "I'M FREE! What did you do?" He asked looking at Marcus.
"I don't how long Adrian's been using his powers but I noticed that he was focusing so hard to keep the magnetism around our bodies in tack. Any interference that would come his way would cause it to break." Marcus explained
"Damn it…" said Adrian "Oh well it doesn't matter…" He said as he angered frown grew back into a smile as he looks over at Chio.
Rodolfo and Ryumaru were both on the ground slowly losing blood. Chio was about to deliver the final blow as she zips over towards Rodolfo and Ryumaru till Manny hopped in and sliced the blade she was using in two.
"THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT!" Manny shouted at Chio. Manny had a determined look in his eyes as he glared at Chio. "This. Ends, NOW!
Chio heard the sounds of fire crackling behind her. Marcus stood there with the same serious expression on his face as Manny with fire burning in both of his hands. Chio turned her head slightly to look at Marcus and then looks at Manny.
"Dad, Ryu, are you two ok?!" Manny called out to him.
"W-We're fine Manny!" Rodolfo replied "Be careful!"
"Darn it…her speed is incredible…" Ryumaru winced
"Look! This is your last chance! Stop all of this and just give up!" Manny told Chio
Chio chuckled "I don't think you're in any position to say that." She said as she hovered in the air. Chio claps her hands together and the white aura around her body began to morph into what looked like large long swords. The swords began to form into what looked like wings behind Chio's back and a bright white glow resonated from her body.
Adrian looked at Chio. She's seen this power white glow before. "So she's taking out the big guns?"
"Silent Blade Style," Chio began. The swords began to hover around Chio's body "Blades of Judgment!"
The Blades of Judgment is one of the next steps in Silent Blade style. It is the strongest level of Silent Blade style mastery. It is used to take down strong foes that are giving the user trouble and it's power could wipe out thousands within seconds.
"Uh oh…" Manny said staring up at Chio.
Chio holds out her arm and long sword that was about 30 feet long appeared around her hand. She slashed, Manny and Marcus ducked, and the buildings that were around them were cut in two.
"HOLY COW!" Manny shouted shocked.
Chio holds out her hands and glowing sparkles appeared around both Manny and Marcus. Those sparkles turned into 10 inch needles. Manny using his quickly reflexes jumped out of the surrounding of the needles before they pierced him. Marcus did the same, except four of the needles ended up in his arm and leg.
"Argh!" Marcus shouted in pain.
Chio took this opportunity at lunged down at Marcus.
"MARCUS! LOOK OUT!" Manny bellowed
Chio slashed upward at Marcus with one of her summoned blades. A big slash mark was shown across Marcus upper body and he falls to the ground. Blood was leaking from his chest and pouring on to the ground.
"D-Damn it all…" Marcus said placing his hand around his wound as he gets on one knee.
Chio circled back around and dashed forward at Marcus to finish him off till Manny launched his grappling hook at Chio at high speeds. Chio with ease caught Manny's grappling hook and yanked him forward. Chio clasped his hands around Manny's neck. Chio slammed his face into the wall, summons a blade and slashes him five times across the chest. Manny had his back against the wall and slides down wincing in pain.
"MANNY!" Rodolfo and Ryumaru screamed
Chio summons a blade and thrust it forward at Manny. But Marcus intervened and the blade she thrust forward pierced through his hand. Chio turned to look at Marcus and her eyes winded. Marcus pupils had a pentagram pattern around his eyes. Marcus clenches his fist, arches his arm back and delivers a powerful blow straight to Chio's face knocking her back causing her to bounce of the ground.
Chio rises up slowly. She gets to her feet and stares at both Manny and Marcus. The mask cracks in her mask began to spread and crumble till finally the mask that she was wearing had completely fallen apart. Marcus gasped quietly as she stared at Chio. Her eyes…her eyes looked so grey and lifeless. She looked as if she was in pain.
Marcus's devil eyes faded and it went back to normal. His mouth hung open a bit. He knew the look in her eyes. He knows it all too well…
Manny looked over at Marcus confused and asked "What's the matter with you?" in a confused tone
But Marcus didn't respond. Out of nowhere, he felt this strong pain hit his chest. He clenched his chest tightly but he couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
"Hey!" Manny said to Marcus "What's wrong with you?"
"I-"
"HEEEEEY!" Screamed the sounds of a young voice behind Adrian
Everyone who was in front looked forward and Chio and Adrian turned around to see a boy with blond hair, freckles around his cheeks and wearing a red short and cargo pants stood their holding a silver bat in his hand. He had the look of anger and hatred in his eyes as he stared at Adrian and Chio.
"ANDREW?!" said Manny, Rodolfo and Ryumaru
"It's that kid…" Adrian said staring at Andrew
Chio eyes grew wide as she stared at Andrew. He stared right into his bright blue eyes. It wasn't easy for her to forget them. She saw those same eyes full of tears as he called out to her father…trying to wake up his lifeless body, screaming his father's name. It all came back to her.
"You…" Andrew said gripping his silver baseball bat. "YOU TWO KILLED MY FATHER!" he screamed at the top of his lungs.
Andrew charged forward. His eyes were set on Chio but Adrian grab Andrew by the back of his shirt and tosses him against the wall with a thud.
"Stay out of this you little brat!" Adrian shouted at him.
Andrew twitches in pain and he gasp.
"HEY LEAVE THAT KID ALONE!" Manny roared as he charged over at Adrian.
Chio turned her attention to Manny and she stood in his way and sends a quick kick over to Manny hitting him in the head sending him rolling on the ground. Manny glared at Chio with anger in his eyes.
"YOU MONSTERS!" Manny spat
Chio's eyes widened even more. The word echoed in her head.
"ANDREW!" Screamed Melissa as he Frida stood next to her
"Oh no…" Rodolfo whispered
"MS. HARDY STAY BACK!" Ryumaru warned her.
"Oh you got to be kidding me…" Adrian said as he picked up Andrew by his head "You should really put a leash on your kid!"
"NO PUT MY SON DOWN! PLEASE DON'T HURT HIM!" Melissa said dropping to her knees and tears streaming down from her eyes.
"PUT THE KID DOWN HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!" Rodolfo roared at him
"He got himself involved in this!" Adrian said clenching tighter around the kids head making him scream in pain.
"PLEASE STOP IT!" Melissa cried as the tears flooded down her cheeks.
As Chio looked to be in a trance, Marcus took this opportunity to rushes forward. Adrian turned around and was met with strong punch to the cheek knocking Adrian back. Andrew dropped on the ground. Andrew hurried to his feet and runs over to his mother with open arms.
"MOM!" Andrew said wrapping her arms around her mother's neck hugging her tightly.
"ANDREW OH MY GOD!" Melissa said holding her son tightly in her arms.
"Come on we need to stay out of the way!" Frida said to Melissa as the two of them find a safe spot that wasn't too close but not too far away from the fight scene.
Adrian rubs his cheek and growled. He glares over at Marcus and clenches his fist in anger.
"What's wrong metal head? Can't take a punch?" Marcus said grinning at Adrian.
Adrian hurries to his feet and charges at Marcus throwing a strong right hook. Marcus moves his head to the right dodging Adrian's punch, Adrian throws a left hook and Marcus blocks that with his left hand, does a spinning kick that hits Adrian in the stomach causing him to stagger. Marcus takes this opportunity and rushes at Adrian and does a jumping knee that connected right into Adrian's face knocking him to the ground.
Fire roars around Marcus's right leg and he hoist it up in the air ready to bring down a final blow to Adrian till Chio finally snapped out of her daze, turns around seeing Marcus and sprints over to him. Chio stop Marcus's attack and blocks his leg from hitting Adrian. Chio sends an upward kick to Marcus that connected with his chin that knocked him back and onto to the ground.
Marcus lies up and glares at Chio "Damn it…you protect this guy even though he just wants to use you to kill!"
"No he doesn't…" Chio replied softly "You don't understand a thing…I'm fighting for our own peace."
"Fighting for your own peace?" Manny repeated in his head.
Chio glared at Manny and Marcus, her blank and lifeless stare pierced through the two of them. "Let's finish this shall we?" She said to the two of them "Get ready…"
Both Manny and Marcus get their feet and stared over at Chio. The white aura had returned to Chio. Chio turns her hand over. Manny and Marcus stared at her wondering what she was planning. Till Marcus looked up seeing sparkles of light appear above him and Manny.
"MANNY MOVE!" Marcus warned.
Manny looked up seeing the sparkles of light turn into knives, he and Marcus hopped out of the way as the knives hit the ground. Chio went for Manny. With one swing of her arm there were at least 10 different cuts around Manny's body. Marcus intervened throwing a flamed covered punch towards Chio but she side steps out of the way and kicks Marcus in the chest sending knocking him to the ground.
Chio slashes her hand upward. Marcus out of reflex moved out of the way and the ground below him had a large cut that traveled across 4 blocks.
Manny leaps off his feet, extends his claws and slashed at Chio. Chio had quickly turned around and blocked Manny's slashes with a summoned blade around her arm. Chio does a swift spinning kick that knocked Manny back causing him to bounce off the ground.
"RAHHH!" Marcus roared bring both his fire covered arms down near Chio. Chio hops out of the way as the attack from Marcus hits the ground creating a small fire filled creator. When Marcus looked up he noticed that Chio was nowhere to be seen. Then a sharp pain hit Marcus's leg. He looked at his right leg and notice a Kunai was sticking out of his leg.
Chio lands on the ground, summons her sword dashes at Marcus. With one slash she cut around Marcus's stomach leaving a deep wound.
"ARGHHHH!" Marcus screamed falling over and placing his hands around his stomach. The blood was rushing out of his stomach and leaking on to the ground.
"NO MARCUS!" Manny screamed
Chio stared down at Marcus with her emotionless eyes. She watched as he bled out and twitches in pain.
"MARCUS!" Ryumaru said in winching in pain as he held his cut leg.
"CURSES!" Rodolfo shouted
Chio turned her attention over to Manny. Manny growled as he glared back at her. Chio summoned up a long blade in her hand and charged at Manny. Chio swung her blade at Manny targeting his neck. Manny was bobbing and weaving as fast as he could to avoid Chio's slashes. One slash was so close to piercing Manny's throat he held out his hand and Chio's blade pierced through it. Manny winced at the pain and then Chio stabs a blade that went through Manny's leg and was then kicked in the stomach, sent sliding across the ground coughing.
Chio jumps high into the air with sparkles of light looming around her. The white aura that was around her body began to resonate around the now summoned blades.
"SILENT BLADE STYLE! BLADE RAIN!" Chio screamed as a flurry of blade came raining down towards Manny.
Manny looked up at the blades as they were headed towards him. He had no time to move or act. He just shut his eyes and waited for the impact. He could hear his father and Frida cry out his name and the sounds of the blades hitting the ground next to him. But the blades didn't hit him. He didn't feel any pain at all. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up. His eyes immediately widened when he saw Marcus laying across Manny with blood dripping down on him. Manny stared up at Marcus in complete shock and so were Rodolfo, Frida, Melissa and Adam.
Marcus was wincing terribly at the pain. He couldn't speak properly. Marcus opened his eyes and stared at Manny.
"T-Th-This…m-m-makes us…even…for good…" Marcus said slowly through his pain.
"Marcus…" Manny hushed "Y-You…"
Marcus fell over on his side. Manny lies up and looks over at Marcus. Marcus's eyes began to close. Manny began to shake violently as he stared at Marcus. Something clicked in Manny. Everything around him went quiet and the only thing he could hear was the sound of his own heartbeat. Manny clenched his teeth and gets to his feet. A green aura began to resonate around Manny's body and the ground beneath his feet began to crack.
Rodolfo watched on "Manny?" He whispered
Manny snaps his eyes open and let's out the loudest and fiercest roar he'd ever given. Everyone felt the shivers go down their spines from Manny's primal roar. Manny zips over to Chio. Chio did the same but was met with a strong punch to the gut that caused Chio to cough up blood. Manny lets out another fierce roar and punches her in the face sending her flying back towards a broken down car.
"CHIO!" Adrian cried.
"W-Where did this come from?!" Chio thought in her head. Chio looked forward and saw Manny charge towards her on all fours with incredible speed. "S-SO FAST!" she panicked. Chio summoned up her blades quickly and launches them at Manny. Manny slashed through every single one and dodged the rest that came his way. Manny extends his claws and rapidly slashed at Chio. Cut marks began to appear all around her body. This was also followed by a couple of strong punches to the face, sides and again to the stomach. Manny grabs Chio by her shoulders and tosses her high into the air. He jumps up and hovers over her.
"RIVERA…" Manny began "TIGER…RIFLE!" He roared launching his grappling at Chio that connected with a loud thud to Chio's stomach and sent her beaming down towards the ground.
Adrian's jaw dropped. Rodolfo looked on; he couldn't believe what he was seeing his son do. Ryumaru was completely dumbfounded.
Manny landed on the ground near Chio. He was panting and snarling all at the same time. Hands shaking, and with a wild primal look in his eyes.
Chio was lying on the ground gasping through the pain. This was it, she thought. This is where it all truly ends. Her vision began to blur. She stared up at Manny, hurt, battered and bruised she began to hear things, she began to hear a stern, strict and manly voice ring in her head.
"This is your destiny Chio Ne Yun. You are to follow in the footsteps of the Yun family legacy, the legacy Of the Silent blade style users!"
Chio nods. "Yes father…" she replied softly.
Chio blinked. When she opened her eyes she found herself running through the darkness, blade at the ready she swings and all she could see was the color of blood splatter against the wall. She stared down at the lifeless body of the man who she just took the life of…she just thought
"Why?"
She swings again, the blood flows
"Why?"
Again, the blood flows more
"WHY?"
Again, the cries of pain ring in her ears
"WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS?!"
More cries, more screams of pain
"I'm so tired…"
Again
"I just want to stop…"
She swings again, the blood dripping from her blade
Tears running down her cheeks "I…I just want to stop…"
She looked at her hand, nothing but blood. She washed her hands. But it was still there. It wouldn't wash away. It never washed away
Again, she was running, running to her target with her blade at the ready. She swings and the blood splattered on her on her. She stares down at the lifeless body, his eyes, blankly staring at nothing.
"I…"
She ran, but this time not to her target. She ran as fast as she could. She wanted to get away, away from everything…away from the blood.
"Somebody…please…help me!"
"Chio…"
She stopped running. She heard a faint voice call out to her.
"CHIO!"
She turned around…and she saw him.
Adrian smiled at Chio. The area around her changed to a quiet park. It was the dead of night. The moon was full and the stars covered the sky.
"What're you running from?" Adrian asked her.
"Destiny…a destiny…I don't want to follow." Chio replied
"I see…" Adrian said "I'm running too…"
"To where?"
"Somewhere…where I can just live peacefully with no worries at all…"
Chio stared at Adrian
Adrian turned to her "Would you…like to come with me?" He asked gently
Chio looked into Adrian's eyes. His eyes were so meaningful, gentle, and mesmerizing.
"Chio! CHIOOO!"
Chio opened her eyes. Adrian hand his hands wrapped around her and he held her closely. Adrian had tears rolling down his cheeks and he sobbed. The rain had finally begun to fall.
"I-I'm so sorry Chio…I'm so sorry…" Adrian cried
"A-Adrain?" Chio whispered
"I pushed you so far…pushed to a point where you didn't want to go…I'm so sorry…"
Manny just stood there looking at the two of them. Manny turned around and saw Rodolfo helping Ryumaru to his feet and he walked over to Manny.
"Manny are you ok?" Rodolfo asked worriedly
"Y-Yeah I'm fine. What about you two?" Manny replied
"We'll be just fine Manny…" Ryumaru said
Manny lowered his head and clenched his fist "But…"
Rodolfo and Ryumaru looked over to where Marcus was lying. Frida was knelt down next to Marcus and reached her hand over to him hesitantly but stopped. Frida sniffed. She tried so hard not to cry but the tears began to fall.
"He…was such a brave boy…" Melissa said tenderly
"I…I don't know what to say…" Frida said placing her hand around her mouth.
"Say about what?"
Frida and Melissa gasped. She looked down at Marcus. Marcus stared up at her with a tired expression on his face.
"MARCUS! YOU'RE ALIVE!" Frida screamed happily.
"WHAT?!" Manny said shocked
"OH THANK GOODNESS!" Rodolfo bleated
Ryumaru let out a big sigh as if a large burden was lifted off his shoulders. Manny stood there with a big smile on his face. Just as Ryumaru, he felt a flood of relief fill him.
Marcus lied up and winces. Frida stopped him "H-Hold on! We need to get these knives out of your back!" she said worriedly as she began slowly pulling one of the them out.
"Just take them out I'll handle the rest." Marcus said concentrating this fire around his wound one of the stab wounds.
Frida watched on as the wound that Marcus had suffered began to close slightly.
"You can heal yourself?" Frida said surprised
"It's more along the lines of just stopping the bleeding. I did the same with the serious wound around my stomach…" Marcus explained "It's rigid but it helps a bit…"
"That's really cool!" Said Andrew in awe
Manny, Rodolfo and Ryumaru were looking over at Adrian. He was still holding Chio in his arms sobbing uncontrollably. Manny walked forward and as soon as Adrian heard his footstep grow closer he shouts
"STAY BACK!"
Manny stopped dead in his tracks and stared at Adrian in shock
"No more…please no more…she's done…I'm done…I just want her to be ok…" Adrian begged. "No more…no more fighting…"
"I...I..uhh…" Manny stuttered and he looked over at his father and Ryumaru.
Rodolfo nods "It's over Manny." He said to him.
"Adrian…" Chio whispered his name
Adrian looked at Chio.
Chio smiled "I…I feel…so happy…"
"W-what do you mean?" Adrian asked confused
"For the first time…in so long…I feel…free…" Chio said clenching Adrian's hand and the tears began to glide down her cheeks. "Adrian…this feels amazing…"
Adrian stared down at Chio. The tears from his eyes began to fall once more. But Adrian smiled. He too was also happy.
"Chio…I'm so sorry..." He said so softly to her. "For so long…I made you do some many terrible things…but I just wanted to get closer to our freedom…closer to us living a peaceful life…"
"Adrian…" Chio said softly "As long as I was with you…even if we were on the run…even if were always fighting against anyone in our way…you always made me happy…I know you just wanted get us closer to our dream…I never hated you for it…so don't ever think I did…"
Adrian shut his eyes and he sobbed. He buried his face into her neck and sobbed "Chio!" He said through his muffled sobs.
Everyone looked on. Manny and Frida didn't know what to think or what to do. Manny, deep down didn't want to take them in. They, truly did care for each other...and did everything they could to protect their future.
Adrian and Chio looked each other in the eyes.
"I…I love you chio…" Adrian said with a smile
Chio returned that smile "I love you too…" he replied
A loud sound of a harpoon being fired was made and a speeding object flew right past Manny, Rodolfo and Ryumaru and pierced through both Adrian and Chio. Everyone stared in shock. Blood was leaking out the mouth of both Chio and Adrian. Adrian looked down at Chio with widen eyes, and she looked back at him.
"C-C-Chio…" Adrian said silently
Chio's slowly careened off to the side, eyes completely faded, and her body was cold and lifeless.
"C-Chio…n-no…N…No…" Adrian flopped on top of Chio's lifeless body. His too, was also cold. Lodged in both of their chest was glowing harpoon looking object that disappeared from their bodies.
"W-Who in the world…" Manny said breathlessly
"Who the heck…" Marcus said staring at Chio and Adrian.
"YOU GUY'S ARE SO PATHETIC!" said a cocky and overconfident voice.
Landing behind Manny, Rodolfo and Ryumaru was man, standing around 6,2 feet, wearing a pink jacket and pink spiked hair, he was also wearing blue jeans and sandals around his feet. His nose was pointy along with his ears and his eyes were pink.
"Leave it to a bunch backwatered hero's to have a hard time handling a bunch of chumps like them!" said Christopher Anderson
[Christopher Anderson]
Age: 27
Occupation: Member of the Washington League of Hero's
"Who the heck are you?!" Manny roared at Christopher "Did you…were you the one that…"
"You're Christopher Anderson…" said Ryumaru
"Christopher who?" Rodolfo said to Ryumaru
"Oooh it seems like my name is really getting out there." Christopher said followed by a snickering laugh "Like the guy said my names Christopher Anderson. I'm a member of the Washington League of Hero's."
Marcus stared at Christopher in shock "Washington League of Hero's." he repeated
"The Washington League of Hero's were founded by the strongest hero's of in Washington D.C. They were pretty much the group that banded together to fight against factions that overruled all four sides of Washington during its crisis." Ryumaru explained
"Well someone's very educated." Christopher smirked
"When did you get here?" Ryumaru asked
"I've been here when you guy's arrived actually." Christopher stated
"What? You've been here this whole time?!" Manny shouted
Christopher nods "Yup, and I have to say you guys are a bunch of idiots. Hell I don't remember this being bring your kids to work day, what's with the brats?! That kid in the black over there got cat-fished, that blue haired girl shouldn't even be here! And you two got owned by that Chinese girl. Tch, I swear letting heroes from Miracle city was a bad mistake."
Manny clenched his fist and glared at Christopher "Take that back…" he said through his teeth
"Something you want to say? You know you should be thanking me. If you let those two weak bastards live they probably would have come back for revenge. You know how that goes," said Christopher
"SHUT UP!" Manny screamed "YOU CALL YOURSELF A HERO WHEN YOU TAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE WITHOUT HESITATION?! YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN A VILLIAN! TRUE HERO'S NEVER SHED ANOTHER HUMAN BEING'S BLOOD LIKE THAT!"
"HA! Oh man this is why kids shouldn't be doing grown up's jobs. The whole hero's shouldn't kill thing is only for gullible fools who want to keep a public image." Christopher scoffed "They already lost their credibility when they turned to a life of crime."
"WHAT THE HECK DO YOU KNOW?!" Manny spat "ANYONE CAN TURN OVER A NEW LEAF IF THEY TRIED!"
"Humph," Christopher just shook his head "I'm sitting here going back and forth with a kid." He turns around and begins to walk off "You all are welcome by the way, you can take em wherever you want."
Manny couldn't stand it anymore. He runs forward and extends his claws lunging at Christopher.
Christopher simply just held out his hand over his shoulder and a beam of energy shoots out from his fingers and hits Manny in his arms and legs. Manny fell on his feet but he couldn't move
"H-HEY, WHAT THE HECK? I-I CAN'T MOVE!" Manny said trying his best to move his arms and legs.
Christopher turned his head around to face Manny and smirked "Kid, don't try…you're not even on the same level as me." He said viciously as he moved his fingers around in a certain way.
When Christopher did this Manny's arms began to move on its own, and so did his legs.
"I DEMAND THAT YOU STOP THIS AT ONCE!" Rodolfo said at the top of his lungs "I DO NOT WANT TO FIGHT ANOTHER HERO!"
Christopher looked over at Rodolfo and his grin faded. He puts down his hand and place's it in his pocket.
Manny dropped to the ground on his knees and shivered. Having your body move against your own free will was a terrible feeling.
"Well." said Christopher "It was nice meeting you all. Till then, peace…" Christopher said walking off with yawn.
"STUPID JERK!" Manny screamed and panted as he winced. He was so mad he had forgotten how much he was hurting.
"Are you ok Manny?" Rodolfo asked his son
Manny sighed "Yeah…I'm fine I guess…" He said turning around to look at Chio and Adrian but quickly looked away.
Ryumaru looked over at Chio and Adrian. "Well…let's go ahead and in form the authorities. The fight's over…"
"This doesn't feel right…" Manny said in saddened tone "This…this just doesn't feel…"
"Hijo…" Rodolfo said staring at his son
Frida walked over to Manny and knelled down to him "Yeah…I feel the same way…"
Soon after, Melissa had informed the authorities of the defeat of Adrian and Chio. The bodies were collected and taken away. Chio Ne Yun, age 19. She had run away from her home country of China after the murder of a man named Chu Li Tao, she would soon join with Adrian Olsen. Adrian Olsen, Age 24, originally from Detroit, has had a criminal record since he was 17. He has been convicted of Assault and murder of the first degree of a businessman. They had been on the run for a total of 5 months almost being capture but would escape with no problem at all. They would now be classified as deceased.
It would be the next day after Manny and other's were all patched up and ready to head home. They stayed another night at Melissa's home after being tended to. Manny was fully packed to head home. Manny still couldn't shake this feeling out of his mind of, "It shouldn't have ended that way, it usually never does." He sighed and stared down at his travel bag till he heard a knock on the open door. Manny turned around seeing his father standing there with a worried look on his face.
"How are you feeling Manny?" Rodolfo asked softly
"Um, alright I guess." Manny replied sheepishly
Rodolfo walked into the room and sat on the bed "What's on your mind Hijo?" He asked carefully
Manny sighed and moved his traveling bag aside a bit and sits on the edge of the bed. "It's just that…I just." He sighed once more "They might have been bad guys…but…they just wanted to escape to a peaceful life. What they did was wrong but…I just can't help but feel bad. They truly loved each other you know."
Rodolfo nods "That's true Hijo. I really hated that you had to see something like that…that's not something I wish for you to see." He said placing his hand on Manny's shoulder.
"Then there was that…pink haired guy." Manny said angrily "How could someone just…take another life like that…they were already beat…"
"Yes that man had…some very different beliefs than we do. By no means that you take someone's life in cold blood. But I'm proud of you Manny." Rodolfo said smiling at his son.
Manny looked at his father confused "What do you mean?"
"Everything you said back there to him, about true hero's never shedding blood. It was beautiful."
Manny blushed and looked away "Heh…aw dad." He said embarrassed
"We should be heading out now Manny before we miss the travel bus!" Rodolfo said cheerfully
"Right!" Manny said sounding happier. Manny picks up his bag and heads downstairs with Rodolfo. Waiting below was Frida, Marcus and Ryumaru.
"You ok Manny?" Frida asked
Manny smiles at Frida and nods "Yeah I'm fine!" he said for sure
Frida smiles "Awesome!" she nodded as well
Manny looks over at Marcus, Marcus looked back and then looked away.
"Umm…Mr. El Tigre," Andrew said looking up at Manny "Will…you ever come back and visit sometime?" he asked quietly
Manny smiled down at Andrew and softly pat his head "Yeah! One day I'll come back and see you how you're doing little guy!"
Andrew's eyes gleamed as he stared up at Manny "hahahaha I can't wait!" He said jumping up and down excitedly
Melissa smiled warmly and Andrew and looks over at the group "Thank you all…thank you all so much. I know you were only here to take care of the criminals and all but…you've also did a lot of us to and my son. Thank you…" She said sincerely
"That's what hero's do!" Manny said enthusiastically
"We appreciate you for letting us stay here Melissa." Ryumaru said to her.
"It's no problem at all." Melissa said nodding and smiling.
"By Ms. H! I do hope to see you guys again again!" Frida said happily as she waved at them.
Melissa and Andrew waved back "Me too!" She said softly "Take care!"
And with that, the group had headed off back into town and arrived at the main square where the travel bus would arrive to pick up everyone. Manny began to think about Christopher. Not about what he had said but about his power. It was weird, all he did was held out his fingers and his entire body was being controlled.
"Hey Ryumaru…" Manny said turning to him.
"Yes Manny?" Ryumaru replied
"About that guy with the pink hair…how do you think he was controlling my body?" Manny asked
"Yeah," said Frida "That was really freaky."
"Well…" Ryumaru began "I've never really seen anything like it either. From what I've seen he simply manipulated his KI and used it to control the flow of his targets KI. That's…pretty deadly. Controlling another person's body through KI, I've never thought it would be possible."
Manny scowled "It's not that scary…" He said crossing his arms and looking away. "Try fighting me without that stuff and let's see how far he can get!"
"Yeah I'm sure he isn't all that tough anyway! Besides he's wearing WAAAY to much pink for my taste!" said Frida
Rodolfo and Ryumaru couldn't help but chuckle at Manny and Frida's opinions. Ryumaru looked over at Marcus who was just standing their quietly.
"Are you feeling alright?" Ryumaru asked Marcus.
"Yeah I'm fine." Marcus replied looking off into the plaza.
Manny looked at Marcus. He rubbed his arm and wanted to say something to Marcus but for some reason it felt so difficult to him. Just two simple words and he couldn't say it. It actually made him feel pretty bad.
Once the travel bus arrived finally, the group picked up their bags and hopped on. Then, they were on their way back to Miracle city.
…
"You weren't supposed to leave. It was their mission and they already had it covered!"
"Well my bad. I got bored. Besides I didn't know the mission was taken!" Christopher said
"Besides you know you aren't allowed to leave Washington! Do you want to go back to solitary confinement?!"
"Will shut up already?! I'm tired of your nagging!"
She pulled out her claymore and held it towards Christopher's neck. Her hair was blond and silk, she wore light grey armor with metal protective padding around her shoulders with metal leggings and shoes.
"Don't push me Christopher…" Said Rebecca Lockheart fiercely
[Rebecca Lockheart]
Age: 26
Occupation: Second in command of the Washington League of Hero's and leader of 3rd Division sword corps
Title: One of the World's Greatest Female Swordsmen
Christopher turned around and face Rebecca "Jeez…pulling your sword out on another friend?" He said with a smirk
Rebecca moves her sword away from Christopher and sighed "I'm trying to look out for you. The least you could do is just listen to me."
"She right Christopher." William Dean said wearing a blue Spandex suit with a white cape flowing in the back. He as walked over to the two of them "You aided us in taking down an evil foe, which, is the reason to why you were given a second chance with certain restrictions and favor thanks to Rebecca. You should be more grateful."
[William Dean]
Age: 29
Occupation: Leader of the Washington League of hero's
Christopher chuckles "Yeah yeah I get it spandex." He said turning to him
"I really don't appreciate you calling me that Christopher." William said crossing his arms.
"What? It's what you're wearing is it?" Christopher said with a grin
"Ugh…" Rebecca said seething her sword and rubbing her head. "You're a grown man damn it the least you could do is act like it."
The ground beneath their feet began to shake. The three of them turned around and saw a man standing at 7 feet tall, muscles all around his arms, legs and stomach. His hair was black and long, skin brown and wore no shirt but pants that were made out of bear hide.
"If you want," Said goliath, his voice deep enough to make anyone's body vibrate "Let me each him a lesson…he needs to understand respect."
[Goliath]
Age: 36
Occupation: Leader of Squad 5 of Washington League of Heroes
Christopher glared at Goliath "I'd like to see you try." He said
"Enough." William shouted "Let's all just get back to work alright? We don't need to be fighting with each other."
"Tch…whatever…" Christopher said turning around and walking off.
"Chris!" Rebecca called out to him
"I'm heading back home!" Christopher said to her
"You're too soft on him." Goliath said to William
"Christopher does care and knows we just mean well. He's just not to good with showing it." William said with a chuckle. "Right Rebecca?"
Rebecca just sighs "Yeah…" she replied
"In the end…he has his reasons…"
…
After a couple of hours of traveling, stopping to get stuff to eat and taking a nap, the group had finally arrived back in Miracle city. They all stepped off the travel bus and stretched their arms and legs.
"HOME SWEET HOME!" Frida said taking a deep breath "Yup! That's the spicy smelling cesspool that I know!"
"Man it feels like I've been gone for longer time!" Manny said with a big smile on his face.
"Ooh I wonder if Maria has missed me! OH GOODNESS! I forgot to call her tell her that we're back!" said Rodolfo looking around for his phone.
"I better fill in this report to Municipal right away." Ryumaru said placing the report paper in his bag.
Manny looked over at Marcus who was about to walk off and head home. "Hey Marcus…" He said walking over to him.
Marcus turned around to face Manny
"Umm…hey uhh…" Manny began rubbing the back of his head
"What?" Marcus said
"Thanks…" Manny finally said "Two times you risked your life to save me so…you know…thanks."
Marcus looked at Manny for a moment and looked away "It was nothing. You saved me from those boney guys here in Miracle city and back in Ven's Vill so I was just returning the favor." He said as he continued walking off "See you around…Manny."
Manny couldn't help but smile and think "He's not such a bad guy after all."
"Hey," Frida said watching Marcus walk off "He didn't call you kitten!"
Manny had a surprised expression on his face "Whoa he didn't!" He said turning Frida
"I think he's starting to like you Manny." Rodolfo said to him with a smile
Manny chuckles "Eh…I guess so." He shrugged
"FRIDA SUAREZ!" roared a familiar voice to Frida
Frida jumped and her heart began to race "Oh no…" she said horrified
Frida turned around and rushing through the crowd of people was the chief of police Emiliano Suarez and his wife Carmela Suarez, faces red with anger they rushed over to Frida furious and white hot.
"Uhh…hey mom…hey dad…" Frida said chuckling nervously as she stiffened up.
"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?! JUST WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE YOU THINKING?!" Emiliano fired off "YOU SNEAK OUT OF YOUR ROOM TO GO OUT TO HEAVEN'S KNOW'S WHERE WHEN SPICIFICALLY TOLD YOU NO!"
"Dad i-"
"WHAT IF YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HURT! KILLED! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?!" Carmela screamed
"I COULDN'T LEAVE MANNY BY HIMSELF OK?!" Frida screamed at them
"OF COURSE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH El TIGRE!" Emiliano shouted glaring at Manny
Manny just nervously waved at them
"GET IN THE CAR!" Carmela screamed at the top of her lungs
"YOU GUY'S AREN'T LISTENING TO ME!" Frida shouted
"DO AS I SAY!"
"YOU TWO ALWAYS THINK ABOUT YOURSELVES!" Frida cried as ran past them and running off into the crowd.
"FRIDA!" Emiliano called out to her. Emiliano turned to face Manny, Rodolfo and Ryumaru "This is all your faults!"
"Emiliano please," Rodolfo began "We were halfway already we couldn't just turn back!"
"YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING!" Emiliano raged on. He glared down at Manny. "YOU CONTINUE TO BE A TERRIBLE INFLUENCE FOR MY DAUGHTER! YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER!"
With that, both Emiliano and Carmela had left the scene. People who were standing around listening quickly moved on. Manny let out a deep sigh and hung his head.
Ryumaru looked at Manny and Rodolfo. "I'm…going to head to the office. I'll uhh meet up with you all later." He said walking off
"Manny…" Rodolfo said to him as he pat's his shoulder.
"Dad…" Manny said looking up at him "Let's just go home…"
Rodolfo nods and he and Manny head back home after a rough and life threatening battle.
All Manny wanted to do at this point was just rest in his own bed peacefully.
