Far off from Miracle city, across the desert, there is another city that once was just like Miracle city, a spicy cesspool of crime and villainy. But when a strong and relentless hero arose, Glory city was cleansed of evil that once was there, now in glory city. They have one of the best restraints that have ever been open. But now that restraint is in danger…and lives could be in on the line.

EL Tigre the new adventures season 2 Episode 31 – its ok…

Jack hammer stood in front of Johnny and Carmen. Black and light brown smoke simmered around Jack hammers hands. Jack hammer smirked as he stared at Carmen and Johnny. They both were ready for anything Jack hammer could bring at them.

"Hey kid…" Jack hammer said looking at Johnny.

Johnny glared at Jack hammer.

"Don't blink…"

"What?" Johnny said confused.

Suddenly Jack hammer's body dematerialized into smoke, vanishing in front of Johnny and Carmen's eyes.

"Where the heck did he go?" Carmen said looking around.

"Where do you think?" Jack hammer whispered in Carmen's ear. She turned around and swung her silver staff, but hit nothing but the shades of smoke left by jack hammer.

Johnny turned around to see if Jack hammer was going to be behind him. But he wasn't. "STOP FOOLING AROUND!" Johnny screamed.

"Oh please…" Jack hammer said appearing under Johnny "What's wrong with joking around a bit?" he blast Johnny in the chest with a wave smoke. Johnny expected the smoke to just knock him off his feet. But he was dead wrong. To Johnny, the blast wave as like getting hit by a truck. He was sent flying over a table and hit's the wooden floor.

"Felt good didn't it?" Jack hammer said with a grin.

"You asshole!" Carmen screamed as she snaps her silver staff in two. The once sliver staff transformed into two spiked maces. She swings her mace at jack hammer, hitting him across the back of his skull. "TAKE THAT!" she said with hatred in her eyes.

Jack hammer stumbled a bit. Holding his head, he turns to Carmen and smirks, as the gash in his head simmered and healed with ease.

"Wha…what?!" Carmen said in shock.

"Didn't you forget? This smoke ability of mine heals any wound that comes to my body." Jack hammer explained

"Damn…you got be kidding me…" Carmen whispered.

Jack hammer dashed at Carmen, his arm was covered in black and light brown smoke and he swung it towards Carmen. But then second it was coming towards Carmen Johnny flew in and kicked Jack hammer right in the neck, knocking him to the ground.

"You bastard…" Johnny said viciously

"Ow…you know getting hit still hurts you know…" Jack hammer said popping his neck "I'm going to make sure to rip those legs off you little brat…"

"Just come and try it!" Johnny said with a glare.

"RAAHHHH!" Jack hammer dashes at Johnny with his right covered in a smoke and he throws a hard right towards him. Johnny quickly dodged the punch. Carmen jumped in with her mace and swings it towards Jack hammer. Jack hammer turns into a cloud of smoke and dodges Carmen's attack. Jack hammer appears above both Carmen and Johnny with both his hands covered in large of amounts of black and light brown smoke.

"SMOKE DIVE!" Jack hammer shouted as he lands down near Johnny and Carmen, creating smoke shockwave that knocked both of them to the ground roughly.

"AH!" Carmen shrieked as she hit the wooden wall.

"S-shit…"Johnny said in frustration as she cast his eyes on Jack hammer. He hopes to his feet, jumps in the air with a spin and kicks Jack hammer in his kidney. Jack hammer coughs and holds his side as Johnny stands on his toes and spin kicks Jack hammer on the side of his face, a tooth flew out of Jack hammer's mouth and rolls on the floor.

"You little shit!" Jack hammer screamed. He held out his hand and the black and light brown smoke turned into simmer rope and whips Johnny over the chest with it. Johnny let out blood curtailing scream and held his chest and drops to his knees.

Carmen snaps both of her maces together to make a twin blade staff and slashed at Jack hammer, cutting his back. Jack hammer flinches to the cut and throws a spinning kick toward Carmen, kicking her in the face sending her rolling on the ground.

The cut across Jack hammers chest simmered and healed away. He let out a chuckle and walks over to Carmen and grabs her by her hair and picks her up. Carmen lets out a few groans and grips her hands around jack hammers wrist.

"This stupid hair...hahah!" Jack hammer said with a smirk.

Carmen glares into Jack hammers eyes and then kicks him in the jaw.

"AH!" Jack hammer said rubbing his jaw "You little bitch!"

Johnny runs up from behind Jack hammer, jumps in the air and spins, and kicks Jack hammer in the back of the head. Jack hammer drops Carmen and he stumbles around holding his head. To Jack hammer his world was spinning and everything seemed unbalanced.

"Ahh…damn it…" Jack hammer groaned holding his head.

"Now…" Johnny said fiercely as he hopes in front of Jack hammer. He spins around with his leg cocked back, and a flurry of kicks came piercing Jack hammer all over his body.

Johnny delivers another kick to Jack hammer, hitting him in the stomach.

Jack hammer coughed up blood and he holds his stomach and stumbles back.

"Take that…you bastard…" Johnny said breathlessly.

"I can't believe this…I'm getting beat by a bunch of kids…" Jack hammer said through his teeth. "I have been a mercenary for so long…I've gotten power no one has ever had…and now…I'm being taken down by a bunch of amateur kids…"

Johnny grins "What's wrong? Sorry ass can't take anymore?" he said

Jack hammer's eyes snapped open to Johnny's comment.

"Johnny…don't get in over your head…" Carmen whispered

"Smoke powers…it's so stupid. Yeah it got me a few times but I'm still standing…"

Jack hammer gritted his teeth. "You're still standing huh?" he said slowly as he gets to his feet. "You know…I really wanted this restraint…I was going to turn into something way better. But now I just don't give a damn." Jack hammer said with a fierce look in his eye. "I will not take this disrespect anymore!"

Black smoke leaked out from Jack hammer's mouth, then from his ears, his back and his hands. His hair on his started to stand up.

"Good job Johnny…" Carmen whispered to him in frustration.

"Oh come on…he's just fuming up because he's pissed…we can take this guy out no problem…" Johnny said with confident smile.

Jack hammer holds out his hand to Johnny and Carmen. The color of his smoke that was fuming out his hand changed color. It was light green, and as the smoke leaked from his hands on to the floor. The floor started to crack and turn into dust.

"What the heck?" Johnny said confused.

"I-is that?" Carmen said terrified.

Jack hammer smirked, showing his teeth.

"Acid smoke!" Jack hammer snarled.

"What are you talking about? What happened to the color of your eyes?" Manny asked confused. "It wasn't like that before."

"Manny…listen. Over the time I was training when I left Miracle city last year I unlocked the next stage of my akuma no me…" Marcus explained.

"Y-you did?"

"Yeah…although I'm not fully sure what I can do yet..."

"Didn't you experiment with it at all when you did unlock it?" Manny asked.

"No because when I did unlock i-LOOK OUT!" Marcus yelled as huge curved cleaver came out from the purple mist lunging at Manny and Marcus. They both hopped through opposite sides avoiding Tony's attack.

"Just follow my lead!" Marcus said as he widens his eyes even more.

"You know, one day you are going to be following my lead!" Manny shouted at Marcus.

Coming out from out the purple fog were white glowing transparent glowing hands that reached out for Manny and Marcus. Manny slashed his claws at the transparent hands. Manny's claws went through the transparent hands, causing no damage at all. The transparent hands grabbed Manny and clenched him tightly.

"Argh!" Manny groaned as he tried to break free. "ANY TIME NOW MARCUS!"

"Don't worry Manny…" Marcus said closing his eyes and clapping his hands together. "Time to put this to the test…." He snaps his eyes open. The color of his dark red eyes was now red with a white symbol twirling around in it. "Akuma no me stage 2!"

Marcus entire body glowed red along with a glow of white aura. Manny looked at Marcus with his eyes wide in surprise "M-Marcus?" Manny said staring at him.

"What the heck? What did he do?" Brodas asked confused

"I don't know…Just ignore it and attack!" Tony ordered.

Then from out the purple mist came a large cleaver that swung at Marcus with all its might.

Marcus smirked and with amazing speed and whips out his sword and slices the transparent hand in two. Brodas screamed in pain and held his hand. "AHHHH! WHA THE HELL?! TONY YOU SAID HE COULDN"T HURT US?"

"T-That's impossible! There's no way any of them could attack us! No with my power!" Tony said frantically

Marcus dashes over to where Manny is and swings his sword, cutting the transparent hands that were holding Manny. It was then Tonys turn to scream. Manny dropped to the ground and stared up at Marcus.

"What the heck happened to you?" Manny asked as he sprung to his feet.

"I worked hard for this…no lie…" Marcus said with smile "This is the next stage within the Akuma no me."

The akuma no me stage 2. In this next stage of the akuma no me, Marcus is able to stand up against any type of spiritual enemy, or one that is using spiritual ability's. Stage 2, unlocks the potential that is stored in one's Ki, amplifying one's arts. But with this comes with a gamble. Once Stage 2 deactivates, Marcus is temporarily unable to cast any arts.

"Manny, get ready, this stage is no joke. I won't be able to hold this up for long." Marcus explained. "Damn it…if only I could keep this stage up longer…" Marcus said in his head.

"Right, just tell me what I need to do!" Manny said eagerly

"Brodas…release the barrage!" Tony ordered

"Way, ahead of you!" Brodas roared.

"You know for a couple of thugs these guys really have very good concentration…" Marcus said with half a smile.

"WE ARE MERCENARY"S!" Tony and Brodas screamed. Coming from out of the mist were transparent large buzz saws the cut through the wooden for heading straight for Manny and Marcus.

"Holy crap!" Manny screamed.

"I got it!" Marcus said hopping in front of Manny and he grips his sword and slices through each buzz saw.

"He did it again!" Tony said furiously

"B-But how?!" Brodas stuttered.

"Heh, there's no use in hiding now." Marcus said "I'm going to get rid of this stupid mist and then we're going to come straight for you."

"Cocky little punk…" Tony said gritting his teeth.

"Manny." Marcus whispered. "I'm going to cut through his fog with one swing. And once that, happens we rush in and hit them with all you got."

Manny nods, "Gotcha…but with one cut?" he said nervously

"Have I ever let you down before?" Marcus said with a smile and staring at Manny.

Manny looked at Marcus for a moment and then he smiled back "No, you haven't." he said proudly.

"Then get ready." Marcus said as he holds on to his swords handle with both of his hands. "Now…let's get these no good bastards…"

"What's he doing?" brodas said.

"With one cut…with one cut…" Marcus repeated what he said in his head. "Manny…duck when I draw my sword!" he shouted.

"No way…is he actually…" Tony whispered

With intense speed, Marcus whips out his sword. Manny ducked quickly, and just as Marcus said. With one swing, with his sword clouded in the white aura of his Akuma no me's second stage. His sword cuts through the thick purple fog, leaving a large gap in the purple fog.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" Tony and brodas screamed from the top of their lungs in agonizing pain. With that, the purple fog started to fade away and disappear.

"I-I can't believe this…DAMN IT ALL!" Tony said as he dropped to his knees.

"He cut through it…no just that he…he actually stopped the whole thing in general…" Broda said lying flat on his back.

"What? They were in the fog the whole time?!" Manny said pointing at them.

"They hid themselves in the fog. Sending solid illusion attacks right at us. Unless you're spiritual energy is strong enough you can take it out with one hit." Marcus explained.

Jack hammer turned around and looked over at where Tony and Brodas are.

"You can't be serious…they broke out of it?" Jack hammer said "This is insane…"

"Manny, NOW!" Marcus screamed.

"RIGHT!" Manny rushed in and leaped in the air. "RIVERA TIGER PISTOL!" he launched his grappling hook at Brodas slugging him straight in the face.

"Damn brat!" Tony screamed as he takes out his orange blade and charges at Manny. Marcus puts his sword in front of Tony and stood in his way.

"Where are you going? We haven't finished our fight yet." Marcus said pointing his sword at him.

"GO TO HELL!" Tony takes out his other orange blade and swings both of them at Marcus. Marcus grips his sword, cutting through Tony's orange blades. Tony looked at his blades in shock.

"Spiritual energy is some scary shit huh? Especially while I hold a sword." Marcus said with a smirk and he slashed Tony down his chest. Blood splashes on the ground and Tony roared in pain as he fell to the ground.

"TONY!" Brodas screamed.

"D-Damn it all…is this how I'm going to die?" Tony said while coughing up blood.

"I'm not going to kill you dumbass…" Marcus said in an exhausted tone as he fell to his knees and the red glow and white aura that was around his body disappeared "H-ha…but I know this for sure…I win…"

Tony gave one last look at Marcus and then passed out.

"Tony…no way he's out…" Brodas said "No way…"

"That's what you get for underestimating us "Kids" Now you guys just got you're butts kicked!" Manny said with a smirk.

"I can't believe this…we are getting beat by a bunch of nobody's!" Jack hammer growled. "THAT"S IT!" jack hammer roared

Everyone put their attention to jack hammer.

"Tony, Brodas, cliff...you three are useless…" Jack hammered said annoyed.

"J-jack…" Brodas said shocked

"I can't believe...i even teamed up with any of you…" Jack hammered continued "Forget this restraint…I'm going level this whole damn place. I'm going to kill everyone here!"

"Jack hammer, you backstabbing son of a bitch…" Tony said aggressively

"Talk about being a sore loser…" Manny said scratching his head.

"BOOOO! YOU SUCK!" Ronnie screamed.

"Ronnie, will you stay down!" Frida said covering Ronnie's mouth

Johnny threw a sharp glare at Jack hammer "Like I'm actually going to let you do that…we got you outnumbered, what actually makes you think you can win this?"

"Stupid little kid…It doesn't matter if you have 10 or 20 people with you, it won't matter. Have you already forgotten what I can do? You haven't seen anything yet."

Jack hammer held out his hand. At First it was still green. But then color changed to purple. Then a gust of purple smoke burst out of his hand and hit Johnny right in the face knocking him to the ground.

"Johnny!" Carmen said rushing to him.

Johnny coughed and his eyes began to water. "S-Stay back!" he said holding his hand out. "Don't come any closer!"

"Johnny I told you to sto-"Carmen gasped

Johnny had covered his mouth and coughed, and blood dripped through his finger tips.

"Poison smoke…" Jack hammer said "Once it hits you…the effects instantly kick in. It'll spread to your lungs, and then soon you're heart…"

"No…Johnny…" Siegfried whispered

"That's dirty…" Ronnie whispered in anger.

Johnny legs start to shake as he stood up and struggled to breath. He collapses to his knees and coughs up more blood.

"J-Johnny!" Carmen said in horror "Just hang on...everything will be ok!"

"I…I...DAMN IT!" Johnny screamed "i…I thought I could…"

"Do you everything on your own?" Marcus said, stabbing his sword through the floor and forcing himself to his feet. "You dumbass…there are things in life you just can't do by yourself…there's nothing wrong with asking for help…"

"That's what friends are for after all…" Manny said.

Johnny looked at Manny and Marcus. He looked up at Carmen, who had tears falling down her cheeks. "Johnny…I'm here…" she said softly.

Johnny clenches his teeth and he places his head on her chest. Carmen wrapped her arms around him, holding him close.

"Hey Johnny! Come on, we need to stop the poison!" Albert said standing next to Johnny.

"Yes, we have enough remedies that'll slow it down!" Maxwell said hastily "Come, we half to hurry!"

Carmen nods as she helps Johnny get to his feet. "Come on, you'll be ok…" she whispered to him.

"It doesn't matter what you do, he's going to die regardless." Jack hammer said with a smirk. Then he was struck right in the face by Manny's grappling hook hand getting knocked to the ground.

"SHUT UP!" Manny said retracting his grappling hook hand. "You're nothing more than trash!"

"Tch…why you…" Jack hammer glared at Manny.

"Hey Marcus, how are you feeling?" Manny asked.

"I'm fine. All I can do now is use my sword skills. My arts are temporarily unavailable now." Marcus said with a chuckle.

Jack hammer spit's some blood out of his mouth and looks at Manny and Marcus. "So now it's just you two?" he said "Fine. This will end quickly."

"If that's what you think. You're friends said the same thing." Manny said with sharp glare.

"Hahah…I'm not them…" Jack hammer said fiercely

"That's good." Marcus said pointing his sword at Jack hammer. "Manny, let's finish this."

"Yeah," Manny said nodding

Now, only jack hammer stands! Can they save big shots?
