After seeing the city and making a friend on the way Shiro was seen in a motel.

Inside his motel room, Shiro was seen laying down in a bed looking at the ceiling.

Shiro: Tomorrow will be my second day in this city. Hopefully, things will be different.

Shiro then got comfortable and closed his eyes.

Shiro: To a new tomorrow.

Shiro's dream
Shiro was seen back in Osaka still destroyed which made him sad.

Shiro: The same dream again which means it's close by.

Shiro looks around for something to use as a weapon but as he does he hears squawking and turns to see a crow sitting on a lamppost.

Shiro: A crow?

Shiro then sees the crow fly over to him and lands on his shoulder.

Shiro: Hey, there little buddy I need you to leave. This place is dangerous. You need to get out here before that flaming tiger finds me.

The crow just stares at him before the sound of a roar could be heard. Both Shiro and the crow see the flaming tiger.

Shiro: Buddy you need to go.

The Crow finally gets off Shiro and starts flying away. Shiro sighed in relief as the crow left and then turned to the Flaming Tiger.

Shiro: I am ready for round two.

The flaming tiger roared and Shiro got ready to run. Suddenly the crow comes back and drops something from its talons which Shiro catches and sees it's a key.

Shiro: A key?

Shiro looked confused as to what the key was for until he quickly dodged as the flaming tiger tried to pounce him.

Shiro: I will figure it out later!

Shiro kept running as the flaming tiger chased him. Shiro keeps running and as he does he sees the crow again and starts squawking as it flies in the air. Shiro then saw the crow circling the area and found something so he decided to head to that area.

Shiro: Please be an exit!

Shiro continued running and as he does the flaming tiger fired a fireball from its mouth. Shiro then turns his head and saw the fireball coming at him.

Shiro: Uh oh.

Shiro then slides to the floor and the fireball misses him. Shiro quickly gets up to his feet and runs faster to get away from the tiger. As Shiro kept running he sees the crow standing on top of a door in the middle of the road.

Shiro: Sweet I can finally leave!

Shiro then runs to the door and tries to open it and when he did it didn't budge.

Shiro: Why isn't it opening?!

Shiro tries to open the door and as he does he sees the flaming tiger sprint toward him. Shiro started to panic until the crow squawked again and landed on his arm and pointed to a keyhole. Shiro then remembers the key he got from the crow and inserted it into the door. Shiro quickly turns the doorknob and the door opens. Shiro and the crow go through the door. The flaming tiger fires a fireball hoping to hit Shiro but he quickly closes the door and it disappears. The flaming tiger stopped in its track and roars in anger as Shiro escaped its grasp.

Shiro: That was a close one.

The crow nodded and then started to fly away from him which Shiro then followed. As he kept following the crow he saw a light and walked through it.

Dream End
Shiro then woke up and was confused but sighed in relief for a moment.

Shiro: Well that nightmare is over.

Shiro then gets up from the bed and heads to take a shower.

Shiro: Let's see what today has in store for me.

Shiro then turns on and gets in the shower and starts showering.

Ten minutes pass and Shiro is seen dressed and puts his hoodie over his head and leaves the motel.

Shiro is seen walking down the city and tries to find something to eat and as he does he sees a churro vendor. Shiro then pulls out some money and walks over to the vendor.

Shiro: One churro por favor.

Churro: Here you go amigo.

Shiro then pays for the churro and starts eating it and as he keeps walking he bumps into someone.

????: Oi, watch where you're going!

Shiro: My bad.

Shiro sees who he bumped into and saw a girl who had pastel blue hair, light skin and blue eyes. She wears a sleeveless white shirt, a red overall dress with matching goggles, black bracelets with spikes, white socks with red stripes, and gray boots with black belts with silver buckles as well as black soles.

This girl was Frida Suárez, a 13-year-old girl who goes to Leone Middle School. Frida looked at Shiro mad for bumping into her.

Frida: Oi, are you blind because of that hoodie covering your face?

Shiro: I can see perfectly fine. Also, I can see you have goggles wouldn't that mean you could have seen me and moved to the side?

Shiro said, making Frida's face turn red. Shiro just eats his churros and walks away.

Frida: Hey, where the heck are you going? You haven't apologized!

Shiro: I did or are you just deaf?

Shiro said continuing to eat his churro which made Frida even madder. Frida then looks around the sidewalk and sees a rock and picks it up. Frida then sees Shiro walking away and throws it at his head. Frida smiled as the rock headed towards Shiro but as it got closer Shiro instantly caught and then sent it back hitting Frida in the head and knocking her down.

Frida: Ay, chihuahua.

Frida said, rubbing her forehead. Frida then was about to go after Shiro for hitting her but saw he was gone.

Frida: Who was that kid?

Frida then gets up and kicks the sidewalk angry as Shiro was gone.

Frida: If I see that Imbécil again I am going to nail him.

Frida then goes to the churro vendor and buys a churro and starts eating furiously. As she ate she feels a tap and turns around to see a boy with tan skin, black chocolate curly hair, brown eyebrows, and brown eyes. The boy has a noticeable scar on his left eye. He wears an orange and yellow striped shirt with a black jacket that has a yellow line down the arms and a small red star on the left part of the jacket. In between that and his blue jeans, was a belt buckle with the capital E on it. He also was wearing brown shoes.

This boy was Manuel Pablo Gutierrez O'Brien Equihua Rivera or Manny. A student of Leone Middle School and Frida's best friend.

Manny: Hey, Frida, why do you have a red mark on your face?

Frida: Hey, Manny, some Imbécil hit me with a rock.

Manny then frowns upon hearing that and gets mad.

Manny: Who would dare hurt my best friend?! I will find him and teach him a lesson for hurting you, this I swear!

Frida smiled at Manny and hugged him.

Frida: I like that idea. Come on, that hoodie kid couldn't have gotten far.

Frida then was about to leave before Manny stopped her.

Manny: Why go on foot when we can swing?

Manny then smiles and spins the belt buckle and green flames engulf his body. Once the fire dies down standing where Manny used to be was a tiger costume individual. The individual had green eyes and a tiger tail. He wears a brown mask that has white furry sideburns, tiger-like ears, and the letter "T" on the forehead. His suit is completely black with red stars on his gloves, brown boots, a red bandanna on his neck, and gray metallic claws. Also, he had the same belt buckle as Manny.

The individual was El Tigre Manny's super-powered alter ego. El Tigre then roars and pops his claws out and screams his name.

El Tigre: El Tigre!

Frida: Sweet we're going El Tigre on his sorry butt.

Frida said giddy, ready to get payback on Shiro. Frida then hops on El Tigre's back. El Tigre then points his claw which he then pops out and chains come out of it. El Tigre's hand then grabs a light post.

El Tigre: Hang on Frieda here we go.

Frieda: ¡Arriba, arriba! Let's catch that hoodie jerk!

El Tigre then retracts his claw and is pulled away.

El Tigre: Yeehaw!

El Tigre then makes another grapple line and starts swinging across the city.

El Tigre: Hoodie Kid beware El Tigre is coming for you!

As El Tigre said that somewhere far away Shiro sneezes and wipes his nose.

Shiro: Is someone talking about me?

Shiro then continued walking and forgets about thinking someone was talking about him.

Downtown Miracle City
Shiro was seen downtown minding his own business.

Shiro: Man, I better find a way to earn some money because staying in that hotel is making me lose money.

Shiro continues walking and as he does he hears something and turns around to see Frida the girl he encountered earlier with another person who was wearing a Tiger costume.

Shiro: What the heck is she doing?

As Shiro was staring at the two they then noticed him.

Frida: There he is!

El Tigre: Got it!

El Tigre then goes after Shiro which made him start running.

Shiro's thoughts: Oh great, that crazy blue-haired girl sent some supervillain to chase my butt.

Shiro starts to run faster as El Tigre chases him.

El Tigre: Damn, that kid can run.

Frida: He can run but he can't hide!

El Tigre continued to chase Shiro. As Shiro kept running he saw a metal trash can and got an idea. Shiro grabs the mental trash can lid and then turns around and throws it toward El Tigre and Frida. El Tigre easily dodged it, laughing at Shiro's attempt to hit him.

El Tigre: Ha you missed!

When El Tigre said that the trash can lid that he dodged bounced off a lamp post and then moves towards El Tigre and Frida. The trash can lid hits Frida, making her let go of El Tigre and causing her to fall.

Frida: Manny help!

El Tigre: Frieda I am coming!

El Tigre then fires his grappling hook hand at Frieda to catch her. Frieda then sees the hand and grabs it and gets pulled up. She then gets back on El Tigre's back and holds on tight.

Frida: That was a close one.

El Tigre: Yeah, now let's go get that pendejo!

Frida nodded and she hung on tight as El Tigre continued to chase after Shiro. Shiro was running faster as he needed to get away. Shiro then sees an alleyway and has an idea.

Shiro's thoughts: They leave me with no choice. Time for them to meet El Gato!

Shiro runs into the alleyway and as he runs over there he quickly grabs his pocket watch and opens it and turns the hour hand forward. Shiro's body is engulfed by a black light and transforms.

El Gato: El Gato!

El Gato then heard El Tigre and Frida coming towards the alley.

El Gato: Time to get to work.

El Gato then cautiously channeled his powers and his whole body started to camouflage making it seem that he was gone. Both El Tigre and Frida both run into the alleyway and see that Shiro was gone.

Frida: That is not possible! This place is a dead end!

El Tigre: Maybe he is hiding.

El Tigre then checks the area and as he does El Gato just waits patiently. El Gato then quietly picked up a can and then throws it to the side making a sound causing El Tigre and Frida to move toward the noise. Once El Tigre's back was turned, El Gato creates a cheetah leg construct and does a front kick sending El Tigre toward the wall crashing into it. El Tigre then falls down to the ground and groins in pain.

Frida: What the heck who did that?!

El Gato: That would be me, senorita.

El Gato then uncamouflaged himself and reveals himself to El Tigre and Frida.

Frida: Who are you?

El Tigre: And why did you attack me?

When El Tigre said that El Gato stairs at both of them annoyed.

El Tigre: Oh you know why! I saw you two chasing a kid down the street for no reason.

Frida: No reason he threw a rock at me!

El Gato: Oh okay why did he throw a rock at you?

Frida became silent and El Tigre just stared at her.

El Tigre: Frida is there something you like to tell me?

Frida: Uhh, you see when I bumped into that hoodie kid I got into an argument with him and then he insulted me and I sort of threw a rock at him....

When Frida said that she tried to act innocent and El Gato just stared at El Tigre.

El Gato: I bet it was a totally different story when she told you. Though you are a villain so you don't care. Now I suggest you leave the kid alone or I am going to have to beat the ever-living snot out of you two.

El Gato said in a cold tone of voice making Frida hide in fear, while El Tigre got up and growled at him.

El Tigre: Hey, no one threatens me and my friend and gets away with it!

El Gato: Oh it wasn't a threat it was a promise so you either walk away or......

El Gato channeled more power into his body and he summoned cheetah legs and puma claws constructs from his body and got into fighting position.

El Gato: We fight, compadre.

El Tigre and Frida stared at El Gato surprised and wondered who he was.

El Tigre: Who are you?

El Gato: El Gato and now care to tell me who you are?

El Tigre smiled and does a pose.

El Tigre: I am El Tigre future hero or villain. I haven't really decided.

El Gato just stared at him, surprised he hadn't chosen a side.

El Gato: Well El Tigre allow me to say you seem more like a villain after trying to harm that kid. If you wanted to be a hero then you should have asked your friend the whole story before jumping to conclusions. Now do you still want to fight or what?

El Gato got his answer as El Tigre fired his grappling hook hand at him. El Gato sides steps and grabs the chains and then yanks it. This caused El Tigre to be pulled towards El Gato who reels his fist back and then throws a punch sending El Tigre back and making him break through the wall.

El Tigre: Oww.....

Frida: Oh that got to hurt.

El Gato just dusts his hands off and starts to walk away while El Tigre quickly gets up and sees El Gato leaving.

El Tigre: Hey, where are you going?

El Gato: Huh, you are still standing?

El Tigre: Round 2 compadre!

El Tigre then leaps towards El Gato and tries to slash him. El Gato sees the villain or hero coming towards him and doesn't move and just stands there. As El Tigre claw got closer to El Gato face he grabbed El Tigre's wrist and arms and then performed a judo throw slamming El Tigre to the ground hard cracking it.

El Gato: Had enough?

El Tigre: Never!

El Tigre quickly got up and tried to punch him but El Gato just dodged it. This makes El Tigre mad and he continues to attack El Gato wildly. El Gato parries and dodges El Tigre strikes making him more angry.

El Tigre: Will you stand still?!

El Gato: Wow that is the most idiotic thing to ask when we are fighting. I have a question is common sense not a thing for you?

El Tigre then becomes mad and aims his claws at El Gato. El Tigre then fires his claws at El Gato who then uses his cheetah legs to dodge them but as he did he saw the claws heading straight towards Frida which El Tigre noticed as well.

El Tigre: FRIDA!

Frida: AAHHH!!!

El Gato used his cheetah leg to run towards Frida. The claws started to get closer and Frida was shaken in fear as they got closer. Frida then closes her eyes but as she did she feels being pushed away and sees El Gato taking the hit.

El Gato: AAAHHHH!!!

El Gato was seen with claws in his back but he was seen still standing.

El Gato: Madre de dios that hurts!

Frida: You saved me, but why?

El Gato: I don't need a reason to save someone that was about to get turned into swiss cheese. Now El Tigre just because you got a hit on me doesn't mean I am down for the count.

El Gato said still ready to fight again before El Tigre raised his hand.

El Tigre: There is no need to fight. You saved my friend and I like to say sorry.

El Garp looks at El Tigre trying to see for deceit but he was truly sorry.

El Gato: Okay, I believe you now are you going to leave the kid alone?

El Tigre: We will after hearing the whole story I really should have asked for more detail before chasing the poor kid.

El Gato smiled under his mask but then turned to Frida who was trying to walk away. El Gato grabs Frida by her goggles and she turns her head to El Gato. She nervously giggles and waved hello.

El Gato: I think an apology is over do.

Frida: Okay, I am sorry, are you happy?

El Gato shook his head no.

El Gato: Nope after the trouble you put me and that kid through I should take you to jail for false accusation and attempted assault!

When El Gato said that Frida paled and started begging not to be sent to jail.

Frida: Please don't take me to jail. My dad will ground if he knew what I did.

El Gato: Your father is a cop that makes it worse.

El Tigre: El Gato please let her off the hook I promise she won't do it again.

El Gato looks at El Tigre for a moment before looking at Frida who is begging to be let go.

El Gato: Okay, I will let her go.

Frida smiles but then El Gato grabs a broken sandal on the ground and then puts Frida on his lap.

El Gato: After I do this!

El Gato then started to spank Frida with the sandal causing her to scream in pain while El Tigre winced in pain and grabbed his butt as he felt the phantom pain.

Frida: ¡Oh, el dolor, por favor haz que se detenga! (Oh the pain, please make it stop!)

Frida yelled in Spanish as she felt the sting of her fanny being smacked by El Gato hitting her with the sandal.

10 minutes later

After ten minutes of Frida being spanked El Gato lets her go and then starts walking away. Frida held her fanny in pain as the spanking given by El Gato made it red.

El Gato: Well that should teach you a lesson.

Frida: Owww.....

El Tigre: It's okay Frida I will take you back to my place and get an ice pack for your butt.

Frida gave a thumbs up and El Gato just smiled but then remembered he still got metal claws in his back.

El Gato: Okay here comes the painful part.

El Gato channels his powers into his back and the claws come out causing El Gato to scream in pain.

El Gato: That probably left a scar. Well I better be going and El Tigre whatever side you choose I hope you know what you are getting yourself into.

El Gato created cheetah legs contstruct and ran out of the alleyway. Once gone El Tigre spins his belt buckle and turns back into Manny.

Manny: Okay, Frida let's get going.

Frida: Gimme a minute.

Frida continues to wince in pain and then takes a deep breath.

Frida: Okay, I am good but man my butt hurts like the time we fell into some cactus but this time actively trying to sting my butt.

Manny pats Frida's back and helps her out of the alleyway.

Manny: Whoever you are El Gato you are a lot different from the people I met here in Miracle city.

Rivera House

On top of an apartment building by the name of Casa del Macho was a house.

This particular house was where Manny lived with his dad and grandfather. Inside Frida was laying down on the couch with an ice pack on her butt. While Manny sits next to her and pats her back.

Frida: Man, I can't believe that El Gato spanked me!

Manny: I mean it was better than jail and your dad grounding you. Just be happy that the spanking was all you got.

Manny said, making Frida grumble and as she did the door to the front door opened and a man who was wearing a gray suit and hat, mask, star gloves, as well as wearing bronze boots walked into the house.

This man was Rodolfo Rivera Manny's father.

Rodolfo: Hijo estoy en casa. (Son I am home.)

Manny: Hi papa, how was your day?

Rodolfo: Good, Manny, it was fantastic. And why is Frida laying on the couch with an ice pack on her extremo?

Rodolfo said, looking at Frida.

Manny: Oh uh Frida just got stung by a cactus....

Rodolfo: Really?

Manny said smiling hoping his father would by it but then Rodolfo place his boot on Manny's chest and he suddenly starts to tell the truth.

Manny: Frida got spanked by someone named El Gato because we chased after a kid with a hoodie which Frida tried to throw a rock at but caught and threw back at her.

Manny said in a robotic voice which Rodolfo removed the boot from his chest. Manny then shakes his head and smiles nervously while Frida does the same.

Rodolfo: Anything else?

Manny: No......

Rodolfo once again places his boot on his son's chest making him tell the truth again.

Manny: I chased the kid as El Tigre and El Gato intervene before we could do anything and then I fought him and almost lost to him. I also almost hurt Frida but El Gato saved her.

When Manny said that Rodolfo looked shocked and got angry. Rodolfo then removed his boot and Manny went back to normal and saw his father mad.

Rodolfo: Manuel Pablo Gutierrez O'Brien Equihua Rivera! What were you thinking?! Using your powers for something so petty is not the way of a hero!

Manny: I know I apologized to him and so did Frida but he didn't accept the apology and spanked her.

Frida: It stills stings he used a broken sandal!

Frida said still laying on the couch. Rodolfo only sighed as he didn't know what to do with his son. Suddenly the door opens and an older man wearing a golden sombrero was seen coming inside the house. The older man was wearing all-black clothes with suspenders.

(A/N: Ignore the donkey)

This older man was Jorge "Grandpapi" Rivera Manny's grandpa and Rodolfo's father.

Grandpapi: Hola everyone I am back from getting my magazine for villains.

Grandpapi said as he walks inside the room and sees his grandson getting scolded by his son.

Grandpapi: What did my grandson do? Did he do something bad?

Rodolfo: Yes, father he tried to beat up a child that Frida threw a rock at.

Grandpapi gasp at Manny and then walks over to him and hugs him.

Grandpapi: You make this old villain proud. My grandson teaching anyone who dares stands against him.

Grandpapi said whipping a tear a way.

Grandpapi: So did you make the kid beg for mercy?

Manny: No Grandpapi the kid escaped and I fought someone by the name of El Gato.

When Manny said that Grandpapi just stares at his grandson for a moment.

Grandpapi: Did you say El Gato?

Manny: Yes, Grandpapi why do you ask?

Grandpapi then shows the magazine he had and everyone saw El Gato on the front saying teen hero turned teen supervillian.

Manny: Wait he is a hero?

Frida: But it say supervillian why is that?

Grandpapi: From what the magazine said he fought some loco villain in the city of Osaka. He tried to stop him but then started destroying his city. Manny I suggest you be careful of this El Gato he is dangerous.

Grandpapi said worried as his grandson face the ex-hero.

Rodolfo: What makes him so dangerous? I mean he used to be a hero.

Grandpapi: That's just it. He is a hero who fights like a villain. He is a crafty, stealthy, and ruthless hero willing to send a message to other villains. He once interrogated a villain who was trading weapons so badly that he has night terrors if he sees a feline.

When Grandpapi said that Rodolfo frowned as El Gato's way of dealing with crime was not of a hero but a villain.

Rodolfo: This El Gato will be brought to justice, and when I catch him, I will teach him to be an honorable hero. As I am!

Rodolfo then rips off his suit to reveal a white suit over it and his mask fully uncovered without his hat was a panther mask.

This was Rodolfo's superhero alter ego, White Pantera. White Pantera then says his name as he points to the sky.

White Pantera: White Pantera! Now once I find this El Gato, he will be brought to justice and learn how to truly be a hero. This, I swear!

Grandpapi: Well, if I see him around, I wonder if he would be interested in being taught by me as I am!

Grandpapi's golden sombrero then covers his whole body and turns into a mech suit.

This was Grandpapi's supervillain alter ego Puma Loco. Puma Loco then shouted his name and did a pose.

Puma Loco: Puma Loco! If he truly has become a villain, I wouldn't mind teaching him how to be a proper villain.

White Pantera: Father he is a hero that has strayed from the path of righteousness. I will help him walk that path again.

Puma Loco blew a raspberry at his son.

Puma Loco: Oh please, after what he did to his city. I highly doubt he wants to be a hero.

White Pantera and Puma Loco started to argue with one another while Manny just looked at the magazine with El Gato, confused as to why he became a villain if he was a hero.

Manny: What is your story, El Gato?

Manny said as he continued to look at the magazine.

Looks like the news of El Gato has reached Miracle City. With White Pantera and Puma Loco on his trail, how will things work out? El Gato better be ready as the heroes and villains of Miracle City are now watching him. The question now remains how will things work out? You just have to read the next chapter of El Tigre: Family from the rising sun.
