Chapter Text
Manny: El mal verde…
Manny's walk home is quieter than usual. His thoughts are preoccupied with the whispered name he heard earlier. As he walks, he wonders who or what "El Mal Verde" could be. The name sounded familiar, and the more he thinks about it, the more concerned he becomes… Manny's mind continues to race as he walks, his thoughts consumed by the mysterious "El Mal Verde." He wracks his brain, trying to remember if he's heard that name before. Suddenly, a distant sound snaps him out of his thoughts
The seed of panthera you are next
Manny scans the street, looking for the source of the voice. But there's nobody in sight. He feels a chill run down his spine, wondering if his mind is playing tricks on him… Manny shakes his head, trying to brush off the strange voice as a product of his imagination. But despite his attempts to rationalize it, he can't shake off the sense of unease that's settled over him.
Frida: Manny.
Frida: Manny. Hey Manny
Frida: Mannnyyy…Dude
Frida: Manny...hmmm
Frida: Mi amor…(she kisses him)
Manny's uneasiness melts away as Frida appears. Her kiss instantly lifts his spirits, causing him to smile.
Manny: (softly) Hey, mi vida…(smack his lips)…you just had churros didn’t you??
Frida: maybe.
Manny chuckles, recognizing the sweet taste of churros on her lips
Manny: (playfully) You know, you can't hide churros from me, cariño. It's like your signature taste.
Manny and Frida look at Davi, noticing the slightly envious tone in his voice. They exchange a knowing glance, realizing that Davi is probably feeling a bit left out
Manny: (smiling) Jealous, amigo?
Davi:…(pouts)…N-
Before he could finish his sentence…we see Davi…smashed into a crater by a giant metal arm…as blood splattered across manny and Frida’s face… Manny and Frida's eyes widen in horror as they see Davi being violently slammed into a crater by the massive metal arm. The sight of Davi's lifeless body covered in blood is shocking, leaving them frozen in disbelief… Manny's heart races as he tries to process what he's seeing. His brain struggles to make sense of the senseless violence that was just inflicted on their friend. Anger and sorrow wash over him, fueling an intense desire for revenge
Manny: (anger rising in his voice)…Davi…(growls)…Gngh…Frida is he…
Frida:(Roars)…He’s alive…but…barely…(looks up as she transforms)
Manny: how…(eyes begins to glow)
El Guepardo: Mi amor…my eyes would have started glowing is he was…right now we need to get him somewhere safe…
Manny nods, his mind still in shock but understanding the urgency of the situation. He turns to Frida, his voice shaky with worry
Manny: (urgently) Yeah…you're right. We can't stay here. But where can we take him?
…:~ Ella puede irse pero morirás aquí engendro de pantera blanca…~
Manny: Huh
As a giant green fist is seen flying towards manny sending him flying through the miracle city’s volcano crashing in the middle of the park where many civilians were…as he tried to stand but he had a twisted leg and busted up right arm
Manny:…(straining to talk)…I need to warn every…one to run…wait…(I…can’t breathe…)..wait…(my heart…it stopped)…no…wait I can’t…I have to help Davi…I need to get back to…Frida…
Manny's body aches as he attempts to get up, but his injuries prevent him from moving easily. He struggles to catch his breath, the pain making every movement feel like an impossible task… Despite the pain and difficulty, Manny tries desperately to force himself up. He knows he has to find a way to warn the citizens and get back to Frida and Davi who needs him.
vision blurry and pretty sure he has internal bleeding from the impact…what can he do…what will he do…how can he help anyone if he can’t even help himself from walking to the other side with just a few minutes…no not even that probably 15 seconds tops. Manny tries to push through the pain and stand up again, but his body refuses to cooperate. He's never felt so weak and helpless before, and the realization that he may be too injured to do anything is heartbreakin…
Manny:(gag)…aghk…(huff)…no…(mutters)…
as he tightens his fist and flips belt buckle with the last bit of strength
El Tigre: (ROARS)…EL TIGRE!!!
As Manny transforms into El Tigre, his body is enveloped in a radiant light. He roars with newfound power and strength, his wounds seemingly fading away as he gets up, ready to face whatever threat may come…El Tigre's senses are heightened, his vision sharp and focused. The world around him seems to slow down as he takes a stance, flexing his newfound strength.
El Tigre: Everyone evacuate!
El Tigre's voice booms, commanding and authoritative. The surrounding citizens freeze, staring in disbelief at the sight of El Tigre standing before them, his presence exuding an aura of power and strength.
El Tigre: (Roars) Now!
At El Tigre's roar, the surrounding citizens realize the urgency of the situation and begin to evacuate, running away in panicked haste. El Tigre shoots his arms through the hole of the volcano he was sent through as he skyrocketed through it only to greet a giant green monster with a metal arm fighting frida
…:~ Niña, por favor vete a casa con tu madre... Yo... yo no quiero que tu familia llore tu muerte... me pesará aún más el corazón...~
El Guepardo: (Angry)…You smashed Davi!…(Roars)…and you sent miamor flying through a volcano…(eyes glow blue)…Your ass is grass Chico!
Frida looks at the giant green monster, her anger boiling over. Seeing her friend Davi injured and the memory of Manny being hurled into a volcano ignites a furious fire within her… Frida grits her teeth, her eyes now glowing bright blue as she glares at the green behemoth… As the two stared at each other… suficientes palabras… Frida and the green beast lock eyes, their gazes filled with hatred and determination. The air becomes charged with tension as they prepare to clash.
El Tigre: EL MAL VERDE!!!
As El Tigre shot a punch across the giant green monster’s face sending him flying far to the beach of miracle city
El Tigre: That was for Davi PUTO!
El Mal Verde goes stumbling back, his face bruised and bloodied from El Tigre's powerful punch. He glares at El Tigre with a look of pure hatred, a deep growl escaping his throat
El Guepardo: Manny!
El Tigre glances at El Guepardo, his attention briefly shifting from El Mal Verde… El Guepardo looks relieved to see El Tigre in one piece, but there's a sense of urgency in her voice
El Guepardo: We need to end this fast before things gets worse!
El Tigre: how fast can you get Davi to the ER?
El Guepardo nods, understanding the urgency of the situation
El Guepardo: I could do it in a few seconds…why?
El Tigre nods, grateful for El Guepardo's speed
El Tigre: Good! Do it now!
El Guepardo nods and immediately sprints off to find Davi, disappearing in a blur of speed… El Tigre turns his attention back to El Mal Verde, his anger towards the giant green monstrosity reignited…
El Mal Verde: Son of panthera…your blood will spill for your father’s sins…
Manny didn’t mutter a word…all he did was crack his knuckles as he slowly began to walk towards El Mal Verde as his looked soulless towards the giant green monster
El Mal Verde: Tus ojos son muy diferentes a los de él... los tuyos muestran una mezcla de muerte y odio mientras que un sentimiento de redención por sus enemigos... joven Tigre estás librando una batalla a muerte de la que no verás la luz... me temo que la tierra de los muertos es donde tu alma necesita descansar.
El Tigre doesn't speak at first, his gaze remaining fixed on El Mal Verde. As he slowly approaches, the weight of the green beast's words seem to fuel his anger even more. He clenches his fists tightly as he finally responds in a cold, calculated tone
El Tigre: No sabes nada de mí...ni de mi historia.
El Mal Verde growls, his expression turning even more sinister as he continues to lock eyes with El Tigre.
El Mal Verde: mockingly Oh, pero sé más de lo que crees. Sé quién eres, sé de dónde vienes... sé lo que tu padre hizo.
El Tigre's eyes narrow as El Mal Verde taunted him with his knowledge of his father's past. His jaw clenches as he tries to keep his emotions in check
A green flame began to surge out of manny…as a blue flame began to rise on the side of him as Frida’s anger surged higher than before
El Mal Verde: Ah young chica-
El Guepardo: I thought I said we done talking!
she zips off as manny leaps toward El mal verde with both of them showing murderous intent
El Tigre/Guepardo:(Roars)…RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!
El Mal Verde is caught off guard by the fierce attack from both El Tigre and a very angry El Guepardo, their roars echoing through the air as they charge towards him… El Mal Verde braces himself for the attack, raising his hands in a defensive stance, ready to take on both El Tigre and El Guepardo. El Tigre and El Guepardo attack simultaneously, their blows rapid and powerful. El Tigre's punches are precise and forceful, while El Guepardo combines speed and agility, attacking from all angles
As el mal verde has a flashback
White Panthera: (stood before him with a smile)…El mal verde why not cease this villainy and try to better yourself my neighbors host a knitting club every Tuesday night you can come we’ll sit outside since well you can’t fit in the building…(laughs)
El Mal Verde's expression darkens as he remembers the memory. The mention of the knitting club and White Panthera's attempt to redeem him brings a mix of emotions to his core.
El Mal Verde: Truly a fool…only a fool would send a helping hand to an enemy-
White Panthera: I came into this world with no enemies…and I will leave this world with no enemies…El Mal verde…I will ask this again… why not cease this villainy and try to be better
As his flashback goes further forward with us seeing white Panthera ripping his arm off… The memory of White Panthera's relentless kindness and determination is a stark contrast to the current situation. Seeing White Panthera's selfless act despite El Mal Verde's villainous nature leaves a lasting impact on him, stirring a mix of frustration and grudging admiration. El Mal Verde's expression hardens as he remembers the moment when White Panthera ripped his arm off. The memory of the pain, anger and helplessness that followed resurfaces, adding fuel to his simmering hatred… El Mal Verde's thoughts are interrupted as he is brought back to the present, his attention refocused on the ongoing battle with El Tigre and El Guepardo
El Mal verde: His eyes showed kindness. But Yours! Yours show nothing but death! Why! You’re his son! You’re his son!!!
as the giant bloody corpse of el mal verde was plastered right in the middle of miracle city as manny throws his corpse over the volcano as if it were a trophy for the city
El Tigre:(huff)…(huff)…RRRRRRIIIIIIVVVVVVEEEEERRAA!!!
El Tigre stands victorious over El Mal Verde's lifeless body, his breath ragged and his body covered in sweat and blood. The sight of El Mal Verde's corpse being thrown over the volcano is a satisfying sight for the city, El Tigre's tired mind trying to make sense of everything that just happened.
El Guepardo:…manny…mi amor
El Tigre's weary gaze turns towards El Guepardo, hearing her soft voice call out to him. Despite his exhaustion, he manages a small smile at the sight of her safe and unharmed… El Tigre's attention turns to Frida, noticing her tears. Concern fills his eyes as he gazes at her, his exhaustion momentarily pushed aside as he walks towards her, his voice softening with reassurance
El Tigre: (softly) Hey... Hey...
As El Tigre approaches, he tries to wrap his arms around Frida to soothe her tears, but, to his surprise, he passes right through her like a ghost. He looks shocked, realizing the strange phenomenon… El Tigre's eyes widen in shock and confusion as he turns to see his body standing there, unmoving and lifeless. He tries to touch it, but his ghostly hand simply passes through himself.
Manny:Frida! Frida! Frida!…(huff)…(huff)…Frida…(tears begin to swell)… No... no... no, por favor, ahora no. ¡Vamos, cuerpo, levántate, muévete! Haz algo, no te quedes ahí parado, por favor. Por favor. ¡Por favor, haz algo!
A wave of panic and desperation washes over Manny as he desperately tries to move his lifeless body, his voice cracking as he pleads. His frustration intensifies as he sees it remain motionless, frozen in time. He tries to will his body to move, to do anything. But the lifeless form remains unresponsive, mocking his futile attempts. A sense of helplessness washes over him, and tears begin to cloud his vision… As the tears cloud his vision, Manny turns to see Davi standing nearby, his voice calling out to him. A glimmer of relief and hope sparks within him at the sight of his friend
Davi: Hey…Manny
