As the heroes arrived at Crash's house, Dingodile helped Tiny out of the Carriage.
"Easy there, mate." Dingodile suggested as Tiny used his axe as a makeshift crutch.
"Sorry about what happened." Tiny apologized.
"It's cool, bro." Ripper Roo responded.
"Trust us, me and Ripper have been there before." Rilla Roo empathized as Aria rubbed her jaw from where Cortex stole her Equestria Magic.
"When I get my hands on that guy…!" Aria growled.
"Get in line." Dingodile said, stopping Aria from losing her temper.
"I’ve been there, Aria." Raph empathized.
"You sure you're going to be okay?" Tawna asked.
"Come on! I’ve never felt better!" Aria answered.
"Then why are you rubbing your jaw?" Mikey added another question.
"That’s because I just realized Cortex actually drained my magic from my jaw and throat. Where do you think Cortex was getting my Equestria Magic?" Aria responded.
"N-Nothing!" Mikey said, backing off.
"You're welcome to wait here while we find the bones." Sonata offered.
"I’m coming. And from what you told me, I’m sure everyone else are ready to go, too! Besides, we’ll save more time if we split up!" Aria said.
"She's right." Crash agreed.
"But we’ll have to think about who’s going where with who." Coco pointed out.
"I can handle that. Just a second." Crash responded before he left, and after a minute, he came back with a hat full of papers. "Coco and Tawna will draw names from this hat. Whoever they get, goes with them."
"Huh, not bad." Coco said.
"But there are six bones to find, right?" Tawna reminded.
"Each of us will take 2 parts of the island to search." Crash answered.
"Meaning there will be three groups, each lead by a bandicoot. It’s actually kind of funny." Shini noticed with a giggle.
"I thought it would be." Crash agreed.
"Well, let’s get started." Coco said as Tawna drew the first name.
"Dingodile." Tawna read.
"Alrigh’." Dingodile responded as Coco drew one.
"Sonata." Coco read.
"Yes!" Sonata cheered as Tawna grabbed two more.
"Raph and Shini." Tawna said.
"Hmph…" Raph scoffed.
"Well, this just got interesting." Shini noted with a smile as Coco grabbed two more.
"Mikey and Ripper Roo." Coco said.
"Dang it!" Mikey groaned, wanting to be with Shini.
"Whoo-hoo!" Ripper Roo cheered as Tawna grabbed the last two.
"Rilla Roo and Aria." Tawna finished.
"Heh. Not surprised there." Aria said as Dingodile and Rilla Roo high-fived.
"Ooh-ooh! Nice!" Rilla Roo cheered.
"Alright, I'll take everyone else." Crash said.
"Awesome!" Rainbow Dash cheered.
"We'll head for Ratcicle territory." Coco informed.
"That means we’ll probably find Twilight and Micolda." Sonata pointed out.
"Hey, why don't we go in style?" Crash suggested with a chuckle as he and the islanders smiled in anticipation.
"Huh?" The ninjas wondered in confusion.
"Grab what tools you have, gasoline, and soda you can find!" Crash ordered.
"What?" The ninjas asked, not understanding why they need those.
"We have Go-Karts stashed close by." Crash explained.
"Wait… Are you saying…?!" Rainbow Dash assumed in awe.
"That we're going to be doing something incredibly stupid and dangerous? Yes." Dingodile answered, making a big smile grow on Rainbow, Raph, Mikey, Casey, Aria, Sonata, Pinkie and the titans’ faces.
"That sounds… Awesome!" Raph said, with everyone else agreed.
"Grab whatever tools you find and try not to blow anything up." Crash ordered as everyone scrambled to find tools, building materials, and two liter sodas.
Later, Applejack woke up due to the construction noise.
"Huh? What in Sam Hill’s goin’ on here?" Applejack asked before she got worried when she the goofballs lugging a jackhammer. "And what in tarnation are y’all doing with that?!"
"Building." Raph simply answered, making Applejack sigh.
"Ah have no idea what y’all are doin’, and Ah know it’s just plum crazy, but whatever it is, Ah’m with ya!" Applejack declared.
"You're staying here." Aria responded with a wielding mask on before Armalion showed up.
"Ah don’t think so." Armalion said.
"Both o’ us are gonna help y’all, and yer not gonna change our minds!" Applejack declared, only for Mikey and the others to growl in annoyance, making the two of them gain a tiny bead of sweat, but they stood firm. Crash signaled for a sneak attack, but Applejack and Armalion saw that. "And don’t bother tryin’ to take us from behind!"
"Rats!" Mikey pouted before Rainbow Dash and Skunture gained competitive grins.
"First one to 2 bones wins!" Rainbow Dash challenged.
"Yer on!" Applejack accepted.
"Same with me and Armalion!" Skunture added.
"Deal!" Armalion agreed.
"Everyone's cart ready?" Crash asked.
"Yep!" Everyone else answered.
"Heh. Ready Arma?" Applejack asked her mutant counterpart.
"Is the bull ready fer the rodeo?" Armalion responded as she turned into her mask form, which Applejack donned, transforming into Armajack once more.
"Ah got mah own wheels!" Armajack pointed out.
"Let's ride!" Crash declared as everyone then drove off in groups, while Armajack rolled up into her ball form and started going as fast as the go-karts, which were really fast!
"I am loving this!" Sonata cheered.
"Just wait until we break those crates!" Coco added.
"Crates?" Mikey asked before there was the sound of wood being shattered, drawing the ninjas and titans’ attention, seeing Dingodile drive right through a wooden crate, holding a box of TNT that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
"Heh! Brings back memories, don’t it?" Dingodile taunted as he dropped the TNT behind him, before Mikey drove into the TNT, which got stuck on his head.
"What the?!" Mikey gasped.
"Oh, it’s on!" Coco said as everyone sped towards the fork ahead.
"How do I get this off of my head?!" Mikey panicked
"Just toss it." Raph shrugged off.
"I tried, but it won’t come off!" Mikey responded as he unknowingly made his go-kart hop three times, making the crate fly straight off of his head before it exploded when it crashed on the ground.
"Stop messing around everyone! Find and get those bones!" Crash ordered.
"Right!" Everyone else responded as they followed their respective leaders down each path.
Meanwhile, with Coco’s team, they went into the Ratcicle Kingdom.
"So, how do we find a bone?" Sonata asked.
"Well, I’ve heard about six titan heroes. So we find the titan heroes, we find the bones." Vixot answered before ice pillars appeared straight out of nowhere.
"Whoa!!! Ratcicles already?!" Ripper Roo gasped
"Everyone, dodge!" Coco ordered as everyone started steering left and right, dodging the ice spikes that erupted from the ground.
"This is crazy!" Ripper Roo said.
"If you’re saying that, it’s actually crazy!" Mikey noticed as everyone looked up and saw someone directing the spikes.
"Wait… That’s Micolda, and she’s still being controlled by the NV!" Coco realized.
"Muhahahahahahaha!!! You fools will be no match for this new magic!" A dark female voice declared, making Coco and her team look up and saw Twilight being controlled as Midnight Sparkle by the NV.
"What is she watching?" Coco asked as Sonata and Mikey gained unsurprised expressions at the obvious answer, while Twilight was actually watching a science show.
"Science stuff." Mikey and Sonata answered in unison.
"Don't take this the wrong way... But maybe you guys need to find some other friends to hang out with if you guys know her that well." Ripper Roo suggested, only for Coco and her team glare at him for that remark. "Right, shutting up now."
"If you're done talking... LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!" Midnight laughed.
"Watch out!" Sonata shouted as Midnight directed more ice shards while using her weapon.
"Okay, those NVs have got to go!" Vixot declared
"Foxata time!" Sonata said.
"No doubt." Vixot agreed as she and Sonata fused back into Foxata once more.
"You get yourself a clear shot. We'll distract her." Coco ordered while shielding herself from the shards.
"Got it!" Foxata responded before the heroes heard a terrifying roar.
"What was that?" Mikey scarcely asked.
"Stay away… From my little sister!!!" A male voice roared, making everyone look forward, seeing a big Ratcicle in armor, controlled by the NV.
"Who's that?" The group of heroes wondered before Mikey paled.
"Uh-oh!" Mikey dreaded.
"What is it, Mikey?" Coco asked.
"I think that Ratcicle is the hero of this place, not to mention the ruler around here!" Mikey answered.
"Yeah, so?" Foxata added.
"If Micolda is Twilight’s counterpart of this world, that means that Ratcicle… is Shining Armor’s counterpart, Freezing Shield!" Mikey shouted in fear.
"I actually like that." NV Freezing responded, making Mikey comically fall out of his go-kart, before he got back on.
"How did he hear me?!" Mikey gasped.
"You're not really whispering." NV Freezing answered.
"Oh… but still, we’ll need to get that NV off of you." Mikey said.
"Just try it." NV Freezing challenged.
"Dudes, I think we should snap Micolda and Freezing Shield out of it at the same time, because I have a feeling that hero-king has a “protective-big-brother” mode." Mikey informed.
"I have that feeling too." Foxata agreed before Coco had a terrible chill crawl down her spine, mentally agreeing with them.
"Ripper, with me." Mikey said.
"Alright! And I got something that can help!" Ripper Roo responded as he he started coughing before coughed out a big red pepper shaped like a hexagonal pyramid, which landed in Mikey's hands.
"Ew." Mikey gagged.
"A strange green Dino gave it to me to hold onto, in case someone needed some speed." Ripper Roo explained.
"Ok." Mikey hesitantly agreed as he ate the pepper, only to feel something burning inside of him with his green skin turning red. "SPICY!!!" Mikey screamed as he jumped out of his kart and started running as fast as Rainbow Dash.
"Wait for me!" Ripper Roo shouted as he followed Mikey.
"Whoa! Now that’s fast!" Foxata said, impressed by Mikey's speed before getting tackled by Midnight Sparkle.
"Hahaha! You should keep your eyes on me if you want to win!" Midnight taunted as Foxata latched onto an ice block.
"Thanks for the reminder!" Foxata retorted as she brought out Tonfa-shaped feathers while Midnight readied her weapon. "Time to bring you back to reality!" Foxata declared as she pounced onto Midnight.
Meanwhile with Ripper Roo...
"Huh, he told me it would only last a few seconds." Ripper Roo remembered, seeing that Mikey was still red and running.
"SPICY!!!" Mikey continued screaming as both NV Freezing and NV Micolda tried to attack them, but they were too fast.
"They’re fast!" NV Freezing noticed.
"Of course we are." Mikey responded after he managed to shake the spicy taste off of his tongue.
"Bad taste?" Ripper Roo asked.
"Like I said before, spicy!" Mikey answered.
"Then let's cool you off!" NV Freezing quipped.
"Not with this spicy speed I have, you won’t!" Mikey retorted as he slid under Freezing legs. "Down under…" Mikey started before he jumped onto Freezing’s head, grabbing the NV. "And up over!" Mikey finished as he tossed the NV into the air and smashed it with his nunchucks, snapping the Ratcicle Hero out of Cortex's control.
"Huh? What?" Freezing wondered in confusion.
"You okay dude?" Mikey asked in concern.
"I think so." Freezing answered.
"Cool, ‘cause we’ll need to snap your sister out of it and get that NV off of her." Mikey informed.
"What?" Freezing asked in confusion.
"Cortex is controlling my friends and other mutants with the NVs." Mikey explained as Freezing saw NV Micolda fighting Ripper.
"Can someone explain to me what’s going on?!" Freezing requested.
"Long... Story." Ripper Roo choked.
"Look, we’re trying to get that NV off of you sis’ head so we can help her." Mikey answered.
"Micolda?!" Freezing asked in surprise and fear.
"Correctamundo, dude." Mikey confirmed as Freezing rushed to his little sister to help.
"Coldi!" Freezing called out, making NV Micolda's grip weaken.
"F-Freezing?" Micolda asked before Midnight messed with a remote.
"Sorry, but the fun can't end yet!" Midnight said as NV Micolda roared.
"No!" Freezing shouted.
"Wait! That girl up there is being controlled, and she’s one of my friends!" Mikey explained.
"I know! But I won’t forgive Cortex for this!" Freezing growled.
"Seriously need help!" Ripper Roo yelled as Freezing Shield blew a cold wind that covered the kangaroo mutant completely in an ice armor, making Micolda unable to move since her hand was around his neck.
Meanwhile with Foxata...
"Twilight, snap out of it!" Foxata said as Midnight just sent more ice shards at the fusion. "Alright then, taste my tonfa feather boomerang!" Foxata shouted out as she threw one of her feather tonfas, which acted like a boomerang and damaged Midnight’s NV, while unfortunately, causing Midnight to lose her wings and fall. "Okay, didn't think that through." Foxata admitted before she ran and positioned herself under Midnight and caught her, before removing the NV, reverting her back into Twilight Sparkle.
"Not cool, Sonata." Sci-Twi pouted.
"Right now, it’s Foxata. And besides, Cortex was controlling you with the NV. So yes, I know, one of the best gizmo in ages is evil." Foxata said.
"I meant taking away my wings in mid-flight. But yeah, I'm upset you interrupted 'War of the World' Movie." Sci-Twi said.
"Wait, what? I thought you’d be watching science stuff!" Foxata assumed in confusion.
"I watch science fiction." Sci-Twi explained.
"Oh. But still, we had to snap you out of it, because if we hadn’t, you would’ve still been under Cortex’s control." Foxata responded.
"Rats." Sci-Twi pouted.
"You took it better than Coco did. Not bad." Foxata noted, impressed by Sci-Twi's calmness.
"How about helping us?" Mikey asked.
"It’s alright. I got this." Freezing said as he grabbed the NV and took it off of Micolda’s head before freezing and crushing it.
"That hurt." Micolda groaned.
"Sorry, sis." Freezing apologized, making Micolda notice her big brother and gasp.
"BBBFF!!!" Micolda cheered as the two Ratcicle siblings hugged each other before Coco managed to catch up.
"You guys alright?" Coco asked.
"Peachy." Ripper Roo said.
"We found Micolda, her big bro, and Twilight!" Mikey answered.
"And the bone?" Coco added.
"Bone?" Freezing wondered as he checked his armor and found a bone. "You mean this?"
"Yep." Mikey confirmed.
"Why?" Freezing asked.
"Uh… You won’t like the answer." Ripper Roo warned.
"Probably." Freezing agreed.
"It’s actually one of the voodoo bones of Uka Uka’s mask." Foxata answered, much to the three rescued heroes' shock.
"WHAT?!?!?!" Freezing, Micolda and Twilight gasped in complete dismay.
"Told you." Ripper Roo said.
"Are you kidding me?! Why?!" Micolda asked.
"Like it or not, he’s the only one who can help us find out where Cortex’s lair is." Coco answered.
"We're going to trust him?" Twilight added.
"Did it look like we have a choice?" Foxata responded with her own question.
"Let's get moving." Coco said.
"I’m coming too." Freezing declared.
"Bro... That's okay. You don't have to come." Micolda said in sympathy.
"No, LSBFF. I can’t let Cortex get away with this!" Freezing insisted.
"We've got sizable army." Coco noted before Twilight thought of another reason why Freezing Shield wanted to come, gaining a sly smirk.
"Hmm, maybe you wanna protect your friends, kingdom, sister, and maybe… A special someone?" Twilight assumed, making the Ratcicle Hero-King blush and everyone else chuckle, before Foxata split back into Sonata and Vixot.
"As much as I would to love to hear about it, we need to keep going. So Coco, where to next?" Sonata asked.
"Not sure." Coco responded.
"Maybe the mountains. The Spike hero there has a voodoo bone." A familiar voice suggested, making everyone look around, finding Stalag heading towards them.
"Glad you could catch up." Mikey said.
"And I’m glad I’m with you guys." Stalag responded.
"Let's roll!" Coco ordered.
"Ya know dudette, that would’ve been funny if Armalion or Armajack was here." Mikey noticed.
"Why?" Sonata asked.
"‘Cause they’d literally roll!" Mikey answered, making everyone groan at that joke. "Whatever dudes. That was funny."
