Plot
Rodolfo and Granpapi are setting up for the "Dia de los Muertos", when suddenly, Manny and Frida come back from the arcade. Rodolfo and Granpapi see that Manny isn't in bed sick, cause he snuck out, and didn't bother to sneak back in. When Rodolfo and Granpapi try to catch the buffalo, Manny and Frida eat all the Dia de los Muertos offerings. Meanwhile, Sartana gains possession of the 7th Guitar String for her Mystic Guitar. However, at first, it doesn't go right... until she smashes the guitar to the ground, creating the Dia de los Muertos Forgotten Dead Monster! Back at the Rivera house, Rodolfo and Granpapi return from grocery shopping and controlling the buffalo, surprised that Manny and Frida ate all the offerings. Manny says that there's no Land of the Dead and that people are just plain gone. But, Sartana's monster destroys the house, with the Riveras and Frida escaping. Rodolfo changes into "White Pantera", Granpapi changes into "Puma Loco", and Manny changes into "El Tigre"! Frida just spins around, only to be nauseous. The Riveras tried to destroy the monster but more pieces of the unremembered sprits made the monster grow bigger then, after trying to use its pieces to kill the Riveras, the monster crushes El Tigre and Frida... to the Land of the Dead! In the place the two finds to where all the deceased people go, and figuring out when you become skeltons you will be stuck there forever and you can only visit your family once a year as long as they are remembered and they must hurry for help before they stay permanently! There (in the second act and near the end of the first act), they meet the Golden Leon, Justice Jaguar, Mighty Cheetar, and Dark Leopard. At first, they deny since El Tigre disrespected them and ate their offerings, but after seeing a clip from the living earth, they accept. Justice Jaguar says that only one can help them: The Original El Tigre! However, he's a babbling idiot with both a good personality and an evil one. At first he does not want to help, but after he sees Miracle City under attack, he uses his Ancient Tiger Spirit to get everyone to the mortal world. Just when Sartana is about to finish off White Pantera and Puma Loco forever, El Tigre II, El Tigre I, Frida, Dark Leopard, Golden Leon, Mighty Cheetar and Justice Jaguar come back from the Land of the Dead, and after being stopped from destroying Sartana's skeleton monster, the Riveras attempt the Super Macho Blitz, and El Tigre II survives the blitz, using his new Ancient Tiger Spirit to destroy the monster, which is delayed for some seconds, but after that, the monster is destroyed, and everything goes back to normal, including the deceased Riveras returning to the Land of the Dead.

Free Press was a short-lived but well-attempted and widely-circulated magazine in Malayalam language. Funded itself on readers' contribution, Free Press, exhibited the idealism of a group of twenty young journalists, who came together to publish an investigative, non-partisan monthly in Malayalam published from Delhi, targetting the Malayalis in Kerala and the Malayali diaspora in other Indian states and abroad. It was founded by Vinod Jose, while working as a foreign correspondent in South Asia for the US based Pacifica Radio. Free Press was a registered magazine with the Registrar of Newspapers in India (RNI) and on an average sold 42,000 copies. Without spending any money on advertisement, Free Press gained the circulation through word-of-mouth campaign and campaign drives in remote areas. Along with thousands of readers on its side, Free Press managed to get on board an impressive battalion of brand ambassadors, and they included, teachers to banana merchants and Malayali jawans in Kashmir to prison inmates in Kannur Cetral Prison--a demography that any true dreamers of a free, fair, fearless, independent, accountable press would have.
Free Press investigations included: Reliance corporation and its contribution to India's black economy, fake-encounter epidemic by Delhi Police, Intel meddling with the school curriculum in Kerala, industrialists "buying" rivers in Kerala, sex scandal of a Muslim League minister in Kerala. And the result was quick. Its office was raided. Editor was interrogated. Reporters were harassed. Distribution system was destroyed. Printing presses in Delhi were forced to back off. Free Press in 2005 was forced out of newsstands.
In May 2005, Vinod K. Jose, Editor-in-Chief; V.H. Nishad, Literary Editor; Shaijith V.M., Principal Correspondent declared in a public announcement that the magazine could not sustain itself anymore and declared its closure. At 24, when he edited Free Press, Vinod K. Jose became the youngest Editor-in-Chief of any current affairs registered magazine in India. Free Press was the first publication to have intiated the concept of Citizen Journalism in Kerala.
