Holiday Flu

Chapter 1: Unexpected Snow

It was quite a battle, the notorious Django of the Dead had returned to seek revenge against his arch enemy Manny Rivera, a.k.a., El Tigre. The battle was quite intense between the two who seemed to be an equal match to each other.

"How did you manage to come back Django?" asked Manny as Django had him pinned to the ground.

"Let's just say my grandmother Sartana knows a few people in the Underworld on how to get me back up here" replied Django as he laughed at Manny.

"Manny, you can take him on!" cried Frida.

But before Django could implement his finishing move against Manny, the skeleton villain could feel the air to become quite cold as if someone was manipulating the weather around them.

"What's this, snow, in Mexico?!" cried Django, "I don't believe this! Just when I was winning! Why?!"

"Hey Django, take this!" cried Frida as she took a snowball and immediately threw it right at him, knocking him off course and sending him falling right into the snow itself.

"Nice work Frida, where did all this snow come from?" asked Manny as he headed toward her for safety.

"I don't know dude, but let's make a run for it!" cried Frida.

As the two managed to escape Django who was just getting himself up from the snow, Django suddenly began to felt quite ill as he suddenly realized he wasn't immunized for the flu season and wondered even why someone like him would need to.

"No, this can't be, I'm, I'm, sick?!" cried Django as he noticed that he had snot coming out of his skeleton noise, "No!!!!"

Meanwhile, Manny and Frida immediately got back to the Rivera residence which Manny was quite freezing as he came right in.

"Manny, did you hear about the freak snow we've been having?" asked Rodolfo who had his White Pantera mask on.

"Yeah, lucky for me, it managed to stop the fight between me and Django" replied Manny.

"Yeah, Manny was losing" added Frida.

"Shut it" whispered Manny to Frida.

"Manny, did you manage to get a flu shot this season?" asked Rodolfo, "I know I certainly did, did you Frida, Grandpapi?"

"Yep, my dad forced me to get it, he doesn't want anyone in the family to stop him from doing his work" replied Frida.

"Yeah, I got mine long ago, I did it so I can do more villainy stuff during the holidays, er, I mean spend more time with you" said the Puma Loco.

"Did you forget to take your flu shot?" asked Rodolfo who continued to press the question on Manny who actually forgot.

"I, well, I didn't because I was too busy fighting and protecting Miracle City" replied Manny.

"What?!" cried Rodolfo as he was quite in shocked, "Manny, I told you many times, even the smallest of the villains which is known as the flu can get to you and ensure you would be temporary no longer El Tigre."

"Oh come on, I'm just as healthy as anyone of you" replied Manny, "there is nothing that would be able to harm me–"

Before Manny could continue his sentence, he sneezed, immediately releasing some disgusting snot from his noise. Manny then began to feel his forehead and noticed there was quite a lot of sweat coming out from the spores of his skin.

"Oh no, that's the first sign of the flu!" cried Rodolfo as Manny then was forced to turn back to his normal self.

"I think we should do a few tests" added the Puma Loco.

A few minutes later, Manny soon found himself subject gated to a few tests with even having his mother Maria Rivera coming over to confirm he was ill.

"Oh my, Manny is building up!" cried Maria who was quite a bit hysterical in finding out that Manny was sick.

"Manny, it's important that you do not go to school" added Rodolfo.

"Yeppie!" cried Manny as he then immediately responded with an unhealthy cough.

"But, it also means you can not be El Tigre, so long as you have the flu" continued Maria, "you are to stay in bed until you become well, my son."

"But I can't stop being El Tigre, who'll protect Miracle City?!" cried Manny.

"Why not have Frida become La Tigressa again?" suggested Rodolfo as he took an old newspaper of Frida wearing Manny's belt buckle, "She can be a temporary asset to our help."

"Yes, an asset to also be evil" added the Puma Loco, "er, I mean help out."

"What do you say Manny, that you give me your belt buckle?" asked Frida.

"Well, I really don't know about this" replied Manny.

"At least this time she's not stealing your powers like last time, it's only temporary" added Rodolfo.

"Fine" sighed Manny who reluctantly handed Frida over the belt.

"I get to be, La Tigressa again!" cried Frida as she placed the belt around her waist.

"Well, come on, we better let Manny rest" said Rodolfo as he along with Maria and Frida left the scene except for the Puma Loco.

"So, where do you think all of this snow is coming from?" asked Manny who responded by also coughing a bit on his grandfather.

"Well, I'm no scientist or anything like that, if I were an evil villain, and I wanted to get revenge I would have some powers to control the weather with some sort of a weather-controlling machine of some sort" replied the Puma Loco, "that's what I would do."

"Good luck this holiday in trying to you know, do what you do as a villain" said Manny as he coughed a bit more than usual.

"You got it" replied the Puma Loco, "I would do more villainy things just for you."

Meanwhile, back in the Underworld, things were not going so smoothly for Django either as he was also coming down with the same flu. He was in his bed, with Sartana and a few of her top commanders at her side.

"I can't believe you got sick, just when you were winning against El Tigre!" roared Sartana, "How can this even be possible?!"

"That's what I said!" cried Django as he then sneezed snot all over Sartana's commanders.

"Hmm, whoever developed this fake snow that's falling over Miracle City must have simply evil intentions if he even wants the villains out of the way" said Sartana after she received a report from her skeleton scientists that the snow was fake, "seems like Jack Frost is certainly back, time to go and ensure who is the real villain here."
