A/N Ah yes another two months without an update. No excuses, let's just get on with the chapter shall we?
El Tigre The New Adventures Season 2 Episode 64 – A New Villian Duo
"So what do you think so far? Is it coming along nicely?"
"Diego that looks amazing!" Replied Sergio in awe.
Both Sergio (AKA Sinister Sinestro, a Robo cowboy super villain ) and Deigo (AKA Dr. Chipotle Jr, son of Dr. Chipotle Sr, who were both mad scientist super villains) were in one of their weekly video calls. Diego was showing Sergio a brand new prosthetic arm that he was developing. It was smaller than his usual oversized one and the length of a normal arm. Parts inside the arm were still incomplete and one of the lasers pops out and fires off in the room. Diego lets out a squeak and screws in a loose bolt causing the laser to pop back into the arm.
Sergio chuckles at this and Diego blushed and laughed as well.
"So Diego, is everything ok where you are?"
"Oh yes, everything's fine," Diego replied with a nod. "What about you Sergio?"
"It's been ok here as well," Sergio replied softly. "Nothing's different over here, still a spicey cesspool as always
"That's good to know!" Diego replied happily.
"When are you coming to visit again Diego?" Sergio asked curiously. He really wanted to see his old friend in person again.
"Well, maybe next month, or in a few weeks. It just depends on if Tetsuo gets any more strange guests…"
"What do you mean?"
"Tetsuo has been meeting with some strange people as of late. I'm not sure what's going on but it seems serious."
"Please be careful Deigo…" Sergio said in a worried tone.
Diego smiled "I will Sergio thank you…"
Sergio returned the smile. The two of them said their goodbyes and cut the communication call. Once Sergio did that his smile quickly faded. He moved away from his desk and slowly walks over to his bed to lay down. Over the past few months, Sergio had not done anything crime-related. All the motivation he had left his body completely. As he lied down in his bed he stared out the window at the view of Miracle city. He had begun to loathe that city even more than he used to. Not in the way he had felt before when all of Miracle city laughed at him. But in a more, lonelier fashion. Now that Diego was gone. It was just him…
…
It was a Saturday evening as Sergio strolled the busy streets of Miracle city. Sergio has been doing this often lately as a way to try and clear his mind. It works on certain days but some, just like now, had little to no effect. All it did was remind him how lonely he was. Sergio was seething inside when he saw groups of friends hanging out. Laughing, talking about what was going in their lives. It just made him more bitter than he always was nowadays.
Sergio hated this feeling and thought quickly of what to do to cure it. Ice cream usually did the trick! So Sergio decided to get himself some ice cream. It's what he and Diego would do now and then when they felt sad.
Sergio walked up to a nearby Ice cream stand that was near the Miracle city stadium. Once Sergio had bought his ice cream, the citizens that were intending the wrestling show that was being held in the dome were all being let out. As Sergio watched as the excited wrestling fans talked about the main event, he heard a familiar voice.
"THAT WAS AMAZING!" cried Manny in excitement.
"DUDE THE WAY HE CAUGHT HIM THE FINISHER WAS JUST AWESOME!" shouted Frida in joy.
Manny, Frida, and Marcus had caught Sergio's gaze as the three of them exited the dome. Sergio quickly hid behind the ice cream vendor and watched the trio carefully.
"So Pyro boy," said Frida, looking over at Marcus. "What did you think of your first-ever wrestling show?"
"I'm not too big on wrestling but I have to admit. That last match was incredible!" said Marcus with a smile.
Sergio glared at Manny as they were walking off. "El Tigre…" he snarled crushing the ice cream cone in his hand. Sergio's eyes widened as he looked at his hand "Nooo my ice cream!"
"Uhh ay little amigo, are you going to get from behind my vendor?" asked the ice cream man.
"Oh sorry hehe," Sergio said with an awkward smile.
Sergio followed the trio closely. The one thing Sergio hadn't done in a while was an attempt to get his revenge on Manny, as well as a recent addition to his list, was Marcus.
"You know we'd make a pretty good tag team!" said Manny, nudging Marcus on his arm.
"No way," Marcus replied quickly.
"WHAT!? Why? Think about it, we'd be unstoppable!"
"I am not wearing what those guys were wearing," Marcus replied.
"What a mask?" said Frida
"THAT! And tights," said Marcus
"First off! It's called wrestling gear! Second, what's wrong with them? Did you see the design the champion had? It was incredible!"
"I just don't like them. The last time I wore tights It nearly rode up my-"
"Ok ok too much information we get it," said Frida, quickly cutting off Marcus. "And for one, that outfit you had was amazing!"
"I'd look super macho in tights! As a matter of fact! I think I know what I'm going to wear for this year's Halloween," Manny said with a grin.
"YOU WON'T MAKE IT TO HALLOWEEN THIS YEAR El TIGRE!"
The trio turned around to where the threatening voice. Manny's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it. Standing there wearing a red shirt with brown straps around the upper chest, black pants, a large cactus attached to his hat and wrist, and a black mask around his eyes was none other than, cactus kid.
"CACTUS KID!?" Manny shouted in shock.
"Excuse me what?" said Marcus in disbelief, as he just stared at Cactus kid as if an alien was standing in front of him.
"Oh yeah we've never told you about Cactus kid did we?" said Frida, "I would've brought it up if I'd remembered he existed."
"This is the most Mexican thing I have ever seen…" said Marcus, rubbing his head in utter shock.
"THAT'S RIGHT RIVERA! I HAVE COME BACK TO FINALLY TAKE MY REVENGE ON YOU!" said Cactus kid, pointing at glaring at Manny. Cactus kid began moving his arms as If he was doing the wave dance.
Marcus just stood there watching him. Marcus looked over at Manny "So he's just a lame and ugly version of Lilly?"
Lilly was one of the contenders of the international tournament who manipulated plants.
Manny nods "Pretty much…"
"Hit the nail right on the head…" said Frida, agreeing.
Cactus's started sprouting up from out of the ground. Then, they all combined to form one large cactus monster. The monster roared at Manny, Frida, and Marcus with glowing white eyes.
"NOW ATTA-" But before Cactus kid could even give a single order to his Cactus monster Manny had already transformed into El Tigre and he leaps up, slicing the cactus monster into bits. This was followed by Marcus breathing a wave of fire that burned away the rest of the cactus monster and even hitting Cactus kid. He stood there covered in ash and he looked over at the burnt dust pile that was his Cactus Monster. "Ack…" he finally finished.
"Well that takes care of that," said Marcus dusting off his hands.
Manny walked over to Cactus kid and dust him off. "Good to see you again man!" he said as he trips him, ties him up, and walks off. "Hope to see you again in a couple of years!" he waved at him as he returned to Frida and Marcus.
"Wow that was quick," said Frida, in a disappointed tone.
"What did you think we were going to struggle with him or something?" asked Marcus
"I don't know," Frida shrugged "I expected something new from him I guess."
"OH! I have a wrestling name picked out for you Mark!" said Manny, suddenly.
"Again with the wrestling…" Marcus sighed
Cactus kid let out a depressed sigh as he laid there defeated. He didn't even have the energy to yell out his revenge at Manny. "Oh gosh…how humiliating…" he sighed. Cactus kid then heard the sound of footsteps walking towards him. He thought that It was an officer coming to arrest him. But he then felt that whoever it was was untieing him. Once the ropes were off he gets to his feet and turns to Sergio, who tossed away the ropes.
"Who are you?" asked Cactus kid confused
"Someone who shares the same hatred you do for El Tigre!" Sergio said with a smirk. "And together, I'm sure with our combined skills we can succeed in destroying El TIGRE!"
"You want to destroy El Tigre?" Cactus kid asked raising a brow "Wait…are you a supervillain!?"
"SHH!" Sergio quickly placed his hands around Cactus kid's mouth. "Not in public! Follow me!"
Sergio quickly takes Cactus kid around a corner and sees if anyone is listening. Once the coast was clear he removed his hand from his mouth. "Yes, I am, and like I said you and I share that same hatred for El Tigre! Let us join forces!"
Cactus kid thought about it for a moment. Having help would be great, considering that he was beaten in literal seconds. If Cactus kid was wanting his revenge on El Tigre he didn't have any other options. Cactus kid nods and holds out his hand.
The two of them shook hands and vowed to take down El Tigre for good.
…
Marcus let out a big yawn as he walked down the side-walks shopping district. It was one of those days where Marcus felt like just going out since he was bored and had nothing else to do with his time. Marcus came across a magazine stand and decides to take a look. "oooh…" Marcus picked up a supermodel magazine and skims through it with a smirk on his face.
"How about you take an eyeful of me instead of that Magazine big boy!"
Marcus turned his attention to the right of him. His eyes widened and his face went pale. Cactus kid was standing in front of him wearing a pink dress and sported a red wig. He had make-up on that was done poorly and he wore fake eyelashes.
"W-What the hell is that?" Marcus thought. Feeling sick to his stomach. "Where did this creature come from!?"
"How about it handsome? Want to hang out with me?" Cactus kid winked, sending a heart flying towards Marcus.
"OH DEAR GOD!" Marcus screamed stumbling back. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!"
"HEY! THIS TOOK COURAGE TO DO! I DON'T LOOK THAT BAD!" Cactus kid yelled.
Marcus's suddenly turned around and ducked. A laser flew by and hit Cactus kid instead of Marcus. Leaving Cactus kid, yet again, covered in ash.
"Ow…" Cactus kid whispered.
Marcus turned around and saw Sinister Sinestro sitting on a building sporting a large laser gun.
"Uh oh…" said Sinister Sinestro in a panicked tone.
Marcus was gone from Sinestro's view. He looked around to see where he was but couldn't find him. That's when he felt a presence standing behind him.
"Sup Pilgrim…" Marcus whispered to Sinestro.
Sinestro froze and turned around to see Marcus, glaring at him with his Devil's eyes.
"Howdy Partner…" Sinestro said timidly.
2 minutes of a beating later
Sergio and Cactus kid were both stuffed into a dumpster in a back alley. Cactus kid opens the lid and falls out to the wet ground below them. Sergio opens the and stares at Cactus kid who was glaring at him.
"Well, I heard that he would fall for any type of woman!" Sergio stated.
"Well Obviously not all of them!" Cactus kid retorted.
Sergio stared at him "I think you look pretty cute in the dress." He complimented.
Cactus kid blushed "Aww…thanks," he replied shyly.
…
As the next day rolled around, Manny, Frida, and Marcus were all out on the soccer field. Frida was just writing down some music while she was eating potato chips. Manny was wearing his uniform and he was showing off all sorts of tricks with the soccer. He launches the ball into the air, and as it falls he pushes out his chest to stop the momentum and gently kicks it with his foot as he was getting a nice rhythm juggling it with his foot.
"Rule number one about soccer! The players don't touch the ball! Only the goalkeeper can!" Manny explained to Marcus. "give it a try!" Manny passes the ball to Marcus by kicking it.
Marcus stops the ball dead in its tracks, keeping it under his foot. "So I can't touch the ball at all?"
"Nope!" Manny shook his head no. "Don't worry dude you'll get the hang of it!" He reassured with a smile on his face.
"You got this Marcus!" Frida cheered on with a mouth full of chips.
Marcus tries to launch the ball into the air as Manny did with his foot. But the only thing he accomplished was just rolling the ball. Marcus blushed in embarrassment as he tried again, only to fail once more.
"No no dude like this," Manny went over to show him.
From afar, Sergio and Cactus kid were watching them on the field. "They are completely distracted with that stupid game!" He said letting out a mischievous giggle. "all you have to do is trap them with your cactus and I'll fire a missile at them! With your powers, it'll be perfect!"
Cactus kid scratched his head "Are you sure this is going to work?" he asked unsurely.
"Of course it will! Now use your powers!"
Cactus kid shrugs and begins using his powers. Cactus kid began wiggling his arms, trying to summon up his Cactus's but as much as he tried, he was only able to muster up a tiny cactus that appeared in front of Manny. Sergio snaps a glare at Cactus kid.
"WHAT? I NEVER SENT ONE FROM A DISTANCE BEFORE!" said Cactus kid defensively.
"Where did this cactus come from?" Manny pondered, staring down at the tiny cactus.
"That cactus brat did that," Marcus answered as he points forward to Sergio and Cactus kid. "Let me see the ball,"
Manny passes Marcus the ball and he sets it down on the ground. Manny stands back as Marcus kicks the ball full force and sends it flying towards Sergio and Cactus kid. The soccer ball made a direct hit, causing a huge explosion.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL-Ack," Manny then begins to breathe heavily. "I don't see how they do that for so long…"
And yet again…Sergio and Cactus kid ended up covered in ash.
Sergio sighs "I think that was the last pair of undies I had that weren't burned away…"
"I can lend you some if you need it," Cactus kid replied.
…
"So I have these wrestling dvd's I got with my allowance money! It has a lot of epic wrestling matches that are iconic!" said Manny, as he picked up three boxes of popcorn. "There's this one match that's on the DVD that is the best match ever!"
Both Manny and Marcus were in the Miracle city Supercenter. Manny had invited Marcus over to his place to binge-watch a couple of wrestling DVDs that many had recently come across.
"Oooh, I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it!" Manny squealed. But Manny had noticed that Marcus's attention was elsewhere. He was peaking through one of the shelves to the clothing section. "Dude, are you checking out another girl that won't have any interest in you?"
"First off, shut up, second, check out who's over there." Marcus points over at the clothing section.
Manny peaks through the snack shelves to see Johnny, who seemed to be looking around to see if anyone was watching. "Johnny?" said Manny "I haven't seen him around in a couple of days, let's go say hi!"
"Hold on!" Marcus gripped Manny's arm and tugged him back around the corner.
"Ow dude, don't grip my arm so hard!" said Manny, glaring at Marcus as he rubbed his arm.
"What the hell is he up to?" Marcus said, squinting his eyes at Johnny
Johnny had quickly swapped in an item from the girl's section and walked over to a mirror. He checks around to see if anyone was watching and held an apron with a heart-shaped logo on the center over his upper body.
"Hmm…not bad I guess…" Johnny whispered.
. Manny frowned at Marcus "Marcus we shouldn't be spying on Johnny like this!"
"I knew he was up to something! That sneaky little bird!" said Marcus, squinting his eyes at Johnny.
"Seriously Marcus? Come on let's go!" Manny tugged on Marcus's shirt.
"In a second!" Marcus said with a snicker.
"Excuse me," said short women "Could you help me open this jar?"
Manny turned around to the short woman "Oh sure," Manny let go of Marcus's shirt. Marcus had walked off and snuck around to where Johnny was, quietly tiptoeing as he did so.
Johnny had asked if he could try on the apron, and once he got the ok he placed the apron around him and stood in front of a mirror.
"Hm…maybe the heart symbol is a bit much…" Johnny fixed up his hair and did a couple of poses. "HI! Welcome to Isabella's bakery!" He said in a cheery tone. Johnny blushed and grumbled, "No…that's too much.." He then pondered a bit "HI! Welcome to Isabella's Bakery!" He said, a bit more toned down from the last one. Johnny then took a deep breath and…
"Hello! Welcome to Isabella's bakery!" Johnny said turning to the right with a cheery smile. Little did he know that Marcus was standing right there.
Marcus stared at Johnny in complete shock.
Johnny opened his eyes and stared at Marcus.
The two of them stood there for a couple of seconds before Johnny's face went red and his eyes widened.
"Well…I see you took the maid thing to heart huh?" Marcus smirked at Johnny.
Johnny began breathing heavily. He seemed to be petrified and frozen in the pose.
"So this is what you've been doing in your spare time HUH?" said Marcus, grinning from ear to ear and getting closer to Johnny.
Johnny broke out of his petrified state and backed away. He was shaking, his face getting redder as he couldn't form words from the embarrassment he was feeling.
"So whatcha up to huh? I didn't think you were into this sort of stuff," Marcus egged on staring at the apron Johnny had picked up.
"I-I-I-It's not for me! I…I was just p-p-p-picking it out for someone! It's not mine I swear!" Johnny began shaking violently as he gripped onto the apron.
"Mhm, is that right? You were really getting into it with those poses!" Marcus chuckled
Johnny flinched hard at this and began rubbing his head in embarrassment furiously. "Oh god oh god oh god oh god…" He kept saying to himself.
Marcus noticed this and he raised a brow "What's wrong with you? Calm down will yo-"
"WHHAAA!" screamed Manny
"What the heck?" Marcus turned to the snack section. He could see Manny being hurdled into the air by a robotic arm. "What in the world!?"
Marcus turned forward to see Johnny was gone. "He's gone!?" He said looking around for him.
"MARCUSSS! HEEEEELP" Manny cried.
"Oh for crying out loud!" Marcus rushed over back to the snack section. Sinister Sinestro was clutching tight around Manny's torso causing Manny to wince hard at the pain.
"YOU STUPID FOOL! YOU FELL FOR Dr. CHIPOTLE'S OLD LADY DISGUISE!" Sinister Sinestro gloated.
"Old Lady Disguise!?" Marcus said confused.
"He made a convincing old lady ok! You would've fallen for it too!" Manny protested.
"Oh shut it and just hang on!" Marcus said as he rushed forward but was blocked off by Cactus's that sprouted from the ground "CACTUS'S AGAIN?"
"HA!" Catcus kid burst from a bag of potato chips. "YOU FELL RIGHT INTO MY POTATO CHIP DISGUISE!"
"HOW DID YOU GET IN THERE!?" yelled Marcus dumbfounded.
The cactus that blocked Marcus from getting to Manny came to life and attacked Marcus. Marcus dodged their attacks and hops back. Marcus had summoned fire around both his right and left index fingers and forms cross with them. "That's right…get lined up." He whispered. And that Cactus's did just that.
"CROSSFIRE!" Marcus shouted, sending a fire that was shaped like a holy cross that burned through the Cactus's and cuts through Sinister Sinestros's arm.
"WHAT IN TARNATION!?" Sinister Sinestro screamed.
This caused the grip around Manny to release. "I'M FREE!" Manny bleated as he spins his El Tigre belt and transforms into El Tigre. "GET OVER HERE!" he then lunges at Sinister Sinestro and begins tearing his suit to shreds.
Cactus kid watches as Manny laughs like a madman clawing at the mechanical suit. He gulps and turns his head to Marcus. Marcus pops his neck a couple of times and glares down at Cactus kid.
"Sup..." said Marcus in a threatening manner.
"Please be gentle…" Cactus kid said, terrified.
5 minutes of a beating later
"An old lady disguise," said Marcus as they exited the supercenter. "How did he fit a whole suit in there?"
"Tech-heavy super villains always find a way. They are very determined…and maybe flexible too." Manny replied, walking out of the store with his bag of snacks. "Hey, whatever happened with Johnny?"
"He ran off after you called for help," Marcus said, opening a bottle of red Fanta and drinking it.
"What was he up to?"
"Something about a bakery,"
"He's working at a bakery? Which one?"
"I think it's called Isabella's bakery or something. This is the first I've heard of it."
"Ooh, a bakery! We gotta go visit it sometime!"
Cactus kid and Sergio were left tied up on the ground outside the supercenter. Yet again…they failed to take down both Marcus and Manny.
"Man…I'm so salty…" Cactus kid stated
"UGH! IT'S IN MY EYES!" Sergio cried.
…
Sergio and Cactus kid were sitting in the park on a bench, sulking. They continued to sigh and take in the many defeats that were brought to them by Manny and Marcus. Cactus kid turns to Sergio with a sad expression on his face and sighs once more.
"I'm sorry I haven't been much help to you…" said Cactus kid
"No no…it is my fault. I keep bringing you into these ideas that you have no way of pulling off. Everything just kept falling apart…" said Sergio sorrowfully. "I keep putting you in Diego's shoes.
"Diego?"
"He was my best friend…before he left Miracle city," Sergio sighed once more "It's just been so lonely without him…"
"Oh…I'm sorry…"
The two of them sat quietly together for a moment before Cactus kid began to speak again.
"I'm sorry that I'm probably not as smart or…well anything like your old friend but I can see where you are coming from. I didn't have a lot of friends growing up. To be honest I never really thought about having friends till I met you." Cactus kid said.
Sergio turned to him "You think of me as a friend?" He said a bit surprised.
"Well yeah! I mean…you can say we're just partners in crime but, that's still just being friends right?" Cactus kid smiled at him.
Sergio then thought about it "I…I guess so…" He returned the smile.
Cactus kid hops off the bench "COME ON SERGIO! With our combined might, we will take revenge on those two foolish heroes! Let's give it another try!"
Sergio nods and hops of the bench "RIGHT! LET US END THEIR LIVES ONCE AND FOR ALL!"
…
"Now where is that bakery?" said Marcus looking around at the stores around then. "Where is it? There's gotta be a bakery somewhere around here."
"it's across the street next to a bookstore," Manny told him.
"I thought you said you didn't know where it was?"
"I looked it up on my phone," Manny showed him.
"Oh...well would you look at that," said Marcus.
"You got one too you know…" said Manny, pointing at Marcus's pocket. "You should try using it sometime…"
"Yeah yeah I will I will,"
As both Manny and Marcus walk down the sidewalk and head towards the bakery, the ground beneath them began to rumble. Manny and Marcus turn around to see a plethora of Cactus's surround them.
"Oh for the love of God don't these idiots ever quit?" said Marcus tiredly.
"That's supervillains for you!" Manny replied as he spins his belt buckle transforming into El Tigre.
"WE HAVE YOU VERMIN RIGHT WHERE WE WANT YOU!" bellowed Sinister Sinestro
Manny and Marcus turned around and looked up. Their eyes widened to the sight. Sinister Sinestro's new mech suit was a cross between a giant robot and a cactus monster. Spikes were sticking around of the arms and the color of the mech suit was bright green.
"AFTER THIS! YOU WON'T BE UNDERESTIMATING ME AGAIN!" Cactus kid screamed. "But then again, YOU WON'T BE ALIVE AT ALL!"
The mech suit swung his arm and cactus spikes were sent straight for Manny and Marcus.
"MARCUS WE GOTTA MOVE THESE PEOPLE!" Manny shouts as he picks up a few civilians and leaps out of the way.
Marcus did the same, narrowly avoiding the cactus spikes. The Cactus robot leaps from the building and lands in front of the two. Marcus tosses away the civilians into a safe spot, draws his sword, and leaps at the cactus robot. Marcus swung his sword viciously slicing through the cactus robot. But to his surprise, the spot where Marcus cut had regrown.
"OH COME ON!" Marcus groaned. He was then swatted like a fly and sent straight into a wall.
Manny dashed forward, Sinestro had sent a stream of lasers at Manny, which Manny dodged the lasers, leaps into the air, and let out a fierce roar as he slashes the robot. But of course, Cactus kid uses his powers to regrow the limbs right back with ease.
"IT'S NO USE El TIGRE AND STUPID FIRE BOY! THIS ROBOT IS NOT GOING DOWN!" Cactus kid taunted.
"Alright then…" Marcus said, his tone getting deeper. "I'll burn this robot with you, two idiots, In it!" A blaze of fire began forming around Marcus's body along with his Devil's eyes active.
But as soon as Marcus could do anything, a streak of blue fire shoots past Marcus, and the Cactus robot was knocked down on his back. "What the hell?" said Marcus confused.
"AHHHH!" screamed both Sinister Sinestro and Cactus kid.
Johnny lands on the ground, his body roaring with blue flames and his eyes yellow. "You two are taking too long," he said staring at Marcus.
"Back off bird brain we got this!" said Marcus, glaring at Johnny.
"No you don't," Johnny replied simply. "Allow me to do this in a quicker way that won't drag on." Johnny summoned his phoenix wings and fly's towards the cactus robot.
Sinister Sinestro sent a flurry of cactus spikes towards Johnny. The cactus spikes were neutralized in Johnny's fire, and he kicks the Cactus Robot high into the air. He fly's up, hovers over the robot, and sends a flurry of kicks that left burns all over the robot. Sinister Sinestro and Catcus kid were being tossed around inside the robot. Johnny swings his wing and slices the robot in half with ease. The robot fell and crashed down into the ground.
Manny and Marcus watched in shock as Johnny lands down next to them.
"That's…how you do it quickly," Johnny said, flicking his hair.
"I WAS GOING TO DO THAT!" Marcus yelled.
"Then you should've done it," said Johnny simply. "I wouldn't have to step in if you hurried up,"
Marcus was mumbling silently under his breath a bunch of curse words as he glared at Johnny. He pictured himself strangling him violently.
"Thanks for the help Johnny!" said Manny, happily "Those guys have been on our tail all week!"
"Eh, no problem," Johnny shrugged "It was getting way too noisy."
"Oh yeah, we were coming to visit the bakery you're working at! I didn't know you knew how to bake!" Manny said as he reverts to his normal clothing.
Johnny's heart stopped and he blushed. "W-what?" He looked at Manny, flustered. "Well…yeah I can bake…I don't do it often though,"
"Where's that cute apron you were wearing in the store?" Marcus asked with a smirk.
Johnny's face went red and then he shoots a glare at Marcus.
"Come on, head back to store and greet us properly," said Marcus, "Come on, show Manny how you greet your customers."
Johnny then began rubbing his head frantically in embarrassment.
"I think it went something like this, Welco-" Suddenly a lamppost had fallen over and landed straight on Marcus. "Ooowww…"
"Well…Karma eventually catches up to you," Manny said with a shrug.
"HA! SERVES YOU RIGHT YOU PUNK!" Johnny pointed at Marcus and laughs. "Come on Manny, I'll introduce you to the gales I work with! They're super nice!"
"Cool! And when we get in I'll take a chocolate cake!" Manny said excitedly.
"A little help?" said Marcus, groaning in pain
…
Sergio and Cactus kid were able to get away after being defeated. The two of them sat on a rooftop and let out a sigh at the same time.
"That…was scary…" said Cactus kid, frightened "I thought we were going to get burned alive!"
"Ugh, I forgot all about him! He's another fire boy like that other one!" said Sergio, looking at the burn marks in his jacket.
"Well…I guess we'll have to try again next time!" Cactus kid said with a big smile on his face. "Man having a partner in crime is so much fun!"
Sergio looked at Cactus kid surprised "You still want to work with me?"
"Well yeah! Doing this with someone you like is way better than doing it alone! Like I'm having so much fun!"
Sergio smiled. He was right. Sergio had forgotten what it was like being a partner in crime with someone. "Yes, I agree wholeheartedly!" he said happily.
"So partner! What plan shall we come up with to take out those two superhero jerks?!" asked Cactus kid.
Sergio smirked as he began to think. "I might have an idea partner! Come, let us go plot out our next plan of action!" With that, the two new partners in crime, went off to plan their next attack.
It was after this, Sergio didn't feel lonely in Miracle city anymore.
Chapter 87 End
A/N After coming up with so many new villains, I had always ended up neglecting the villains in Miracle city. Since Diego wasn't in Miracle city anymore I had to do something for Sergio. Then I remembered Cactus kid was a thing. So why not pair them up? Of course, they were no match for Manny, Marcus, and Johnny. But it was fun writing them together nonetheless.
