//------------------------------// // The Shell Father part 2 // Story: Equestria Ninja Girls Magical Mayhem // by Wildcard25 //------------------------------// That night, April, Casey, Zach, Caitlyn, and Buffy arrived at the Foot HQ where the Turtles, Karai, Shini, Keno, and even the Dazzlings were waiting. “We got your call.” April said. “Hey, girls.” Casey greeted. “Hi, Casey! Hi, April!” Sonata waved. “Nice to see you guys.” Smiled Aria. “And we see you brought some new faces.” Adagio noticed. Mikey introduced them. “Girls, Keno, this is Zach, his sister Caitlyn, and Buffy Shellhammer.” “They go to the same school as me and Casey.” April added. Casey then introduced the newcomers. “Zach, Caitlyn, Buffy, this is Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk. They're a singing group called the Dazzlings.” “I remember hearing about you three from a Battle of the Bands.” Buffy recalled. “You three are actually sirens from this Equestria world?” Caitlyn asked. Adagio added. “That is correct. Unfortunately, we were once enemies. We used to have these gems that fed us negative energy off others. But they were destroyed during the Battle of the bands by the Rainbooms.” “When the Rainbooms came to New York, we followed and ended up meeting Karai, who was controlled to serve Shredder, who restored our gems and had Karai train us. Wasn't easy. During our final battle, Shredder missed Splinter and was about to hit us before Sonata took the blow for us. It got us to turn on Shredder and realized revenge wasn't worth it. So we destroyed our gems for good and made amends with the Rainbooms and the Ninjas.” Aria continued. “We left New York for a while then came to help fight a being called Gaea Everfree at Camp Everfree. By then, Karai was rebuilding the Foot Clan and offered us to join so we did.” Sonata concluded. “We still sing, just not feed off negative energy, but we still help out when needed.” Adagio added “Should hear you sometime.” Buffy promised. “Great!” Sonata cheered. Casey continued with introductions. “And this is Keno.” Zach spoke up. “Hey, I remember you. You deliver pizzas from Antonio's to our place every now and then.” “That's right. I also study martial arts and use them to fight crime as the Nightwatcher.” Keno held up his mask. “Believe it or not, this used to be Casey's old mask.” “It broke during our fight with Super Shredder.” Casey pointed out before he let Keno continued. “It motivated me to fight so I fixed it and redecorated it.” “Wicked style!” Zach awed. “Thanks. I have been working hard on earning my place on the team.” “Indeed, he has.” Leo nodded before turning to Karai. “So what's the urgent news, Karai?” Karai stood up. “One of my Foot Soldiers saw Baxter Stockman raiding Kraang parts from TCRI.” “What?!” The Turtles gasped. “Baxter Stockman? You mean that robot guy who was on the news that one time?” Caitlyn recalled. “The very same.” Raph answered. “You said he mutated into a fly, right?” Buffy recalled. “Yeah, but I hit him with retro mutagen. But he still fights us with his robotics.” Mikey said. “Totally ungrateful.” Sonata huffed. “Whatever Stockman's planning to do with that Kraang tech can't be anything good!” Donnie stated. “Then we have to stop him!” Leo concluded. “But Stockman's obviously going to be expecting us.” April pointed out. “Agreed.” Karai nodded. “Which is why we're bringing along something, or someone, that Stockman won't be expecting.” “And who would that be?” Keno asked “Follow us.” Shini replied as they led the group to the Foot Labs where a figure sat in chair near a large computer, facing away from them. Karai spoke up. “Guys, meet the new Foot scientist.” The figure in the chair spun around, revealing a teenage boy about their age. He had brown skin, short brown curly hair with the sides shaved off. He wore a black sweater with metal shoulder guards, tech gauntlets, dark grey cargo pants, and black boots. He also had red science glasses around his brown eyes. “Buenas noches, Turtles and friends. The name's Dr. Chaplin Gomez. At your service.” He greeted. “Chaplin here is our new head engineer and scientist of the Foot.” Karai explained. “I don't mean to brag, but I am the best.” Chaplin boasted. Karai just rolled her eyes as she continued. “He's mainly an alternative in case Donatello is unavailable to us when needed.” “Really?” Donnie raised a brow. “If it's got wires, I can fix it. If there's a formula, I can solve it.” Chaplin stood tall. “We should share notes sometime.” Donnie offered. “I would like that.” Chaplin grinned. “So Chaplin, think you can outsmart Stockman?” Raph asked. “I accept the challenge, mostly because....” Chaplin’s eagerness soon turned to regret. “He is my idol.” “WHAT?” The turtles and teens gasped. “We were shocked to hear that as well.” Shini said. “You do know that Dexter's tried to destroy us like a million times?!” Raph questioned the genius. “Uh, his name's Baxter, and yeah I'm aware the guy's twisted and revengy, but I just can't help but admire the man's genius. I mean he's created robots reverse engineered from Kraang tech, genetically enhanced mutants, and that mind-controlling brain worm that even Donnie couldn't cure. No offense, Don.” Donnie frowned at the claim. “None taken.” “In fact, two of my best creations are based off his original designs. The Footbot Elites for example.” Chaplin then pressed a button and lights shone on three robots shaped like Karai. One gold, one silver, and one grey. “Say hola to my Amazonian Blade Bots!” Everyone just stared at them as Mikey and Sonata just blinked. “Those bots look familiar?” Mikey asked. “Yeah they do.” Sonata pondered. Karai however looked at Chaplin annoyed. “Do I detect a hint of resemblance?” “You modeled them after Karai?” April asked smugly at Chaplin. “Well why not? Karai's fast, strong, and agile. She's perfect.” Karai raised a brow. “You right about that, Chaplin. But you forgot one thing. I can also do this...” She transformed into her snake form and lunged at him. Chaplin screamed and cowarded only for Karai to stop and change back with a smirk. “Can they do that?” “Well, n-no.” Chaplin admitted. “Besides, the last thing I want is to have people think I have an ego like Saki.” Chaplin Cleared his throat as he regain his composure. “Of course, They're not perfected yet. I've.. still got some... flaws to iron out. Yeah. That's right!” “I think he's trying to tell you something, Karai.” Adagio teased. “Please.” Karai scoffed. “But, I think these will be able to handle whatever Stockman's got.” Chaplin assured. “First we gotta find out where Stockman is?” Leo noted. Donnie whipped out his t-phone. “Luckily, I can track him. Just give me a few seconds to-“ “Found him!” Chaplin held up his own device. “He's at the docks. You’re welcome, green boy.” Donnie frowned as Aria asked. “Why would Stockman be at the docks?” “Well, whatever he's got planned must be something big if it's at the docks.” Donnie stated. “Then let's move!” Karai pointed out. Caitlyn raised her hand. “Is it okay if we come along?” “Sorry, Caitlyn. It’s too dangerous.” Raph shook her off. “But I might collect evidence on Stockman to put him down for good.” Caitlyn protested. “So, you beat Vern to the punch.” Caitlyn glared at Zach for spilling the bean. Leo sighed. “Okay. You can come, just keep out of sight and out of harms way!” “Absolutely.” Caitlyn nodded. “Understood.” Zach added. “Don’t have to tell me twice.” Buffy assured. “Then it’s settled.” Karai smirked. Leo sighed, still unsure about this. “Let’s go.” “I’ll drive.” Chaplin pushed a button and turned-on lights to reveal a van. “I give you the Foot Van. Stealthy and durable.” Mikey awed. “Whoa.” “By Darwin’s beard!” Donnie gasped while showing signs of jealousy as everyone got in. As they all left the Foot Head Quarters, they didn't know that a lone figure in a black car was watching them through binoculars. Or that another figure on a bicycle watched them from an alley before following them. Soon the ninjas arrived at the docks and stood on a rooftop as Leo looked through a telescope. He saw Stockman was working on something inside a large container. “I see him! Okay, team, be prepared for anything!” But just as they were about to go into action, April suddenly felt her head as Donnie noticed. “April?” he asked in concern. “Are you okay?” Adagio asked. “Guys, there's someone up here with us!” Everyone jumped up from hearing April’s warning. “What?” Raph cried. “Where?” Shinigami asked, looking around. “Right here!” Everyone whipped around just as Gabby walked out from behind a vent. “Hola, guys...” April, Casey, Zach, Caitlyn, and Buffy were surprised. “Gabby?!” “So, when were you guys gonna tell me about the four tortuga grandes?!” Gabby pointed to the Turtles. “Uh.” Casey looked back and forth then ran up to Gabby waving his arms like an idiot. “You’re dreaming again, Gabby! Nothing to see here.” Gabby looked at him deadpanned and unfazed. “Spare me the theatrics, Jones. I’m fully awake. I also heard you and the others at school this morning.” Aria whispered to Adagio. “It’s getting so hard to tell secrets in private anymore.” Adagio nodded as Gabby then punched Casey in the arm. “Ow! What was that for?” Casey griped rubbing his arm. “For lying to me about them!” Gabby shouted. “I was protecting them AND you! What did you want me to say? ‘Hey Gabby guess what? My best friends are mutant turtles’ ?” Both Gabby and Casey continued to argue as everyone watched back and forth until April spoke up. “PLEASE! Can’t we discuss this when we’re NOT dealing with the enemy?” she asked losing her patience. Chaplin walked up to Gabby surprised. “Gabrielle?” Gabby was equally surprised. “Chaplin?” “Hey, prima! Long time no see!” “Wait, Chaplin, you know her?” Karai asked. “Yeah.” Chaplin confirmed before both he and Gabby announced. “We're cousins.” “What?!” Everyone cried. “He's the cousin you told us about?” Caitlyn cried. “Si. And speakin' of telling,” Gabby motioned to the Turtles. “Anyone gonna tell me about these guys?” Chaplin cleared his throat. “Uh, we'd love to, prima, but unfortunately we don't have time.” “He's right, Gabby.” April said. “We need to stop an enemy of ours from using stolen alien tech to cause harm. I promise we'll tell you everything afterwards.” Gabby frowned for a moment before she said, “Then let's go stop this enemy.” She started toward the docks when Leo blocked her off. “Whoa! Hold on! You cannot come along!” “And why not? You don't think I can handle it? I've beaten Casey, Zach, and their whole hockey team single handedly and beat down the Purple Dragons! I think, I can handle this enemy of yours.” Gabby protested. “This is different, this enemy is actually dangerous!” Leo stated. “You know what else is dangerous?” Gabby leaned in, glaring intimidatingly. “Standing in my way!” “Oh snap!” whimpered Mikey. Unfazed, Leo looked at Chaplin who motioned him not to try her, before he gave in. “Fine, but you have to follow our lead. Got it?” Gabby pushed past him. “Loud and clear, Tortuga.” As everyone headed out, Leo whispered to himself. “What am I gonna do, Sensei?” Everyone snuck in quietly while Baxter was working on his project. “Man I can’t believe I’m this close to Stockman.” Chaplin squealed quietly before quickly cleared his throat. “But won’t stop me from foiling his plan.” “We should surround him. Overhear his plan before jumping him.” Karai advised. “Agreed. Casey, go with Gabby. And above all, watch out for mouser robots.” Leo instructed. “What’s a mouser?” Gabby asked. “His little killer robots.” April explained. “Talk about loco.” “Yeah, those robots almost did me and Leo in once.” Raph pointed out. “Because these muscle heads couldn't survive without MY brains!” Donnie pointed out, giving Chaplin a smug look. Mikey muttered to Sonata. “Oh, he is totally jelly?” “I know right?” “Shh!” Leo shushed as they heard Stockman ranting. “I'll show them! I'll show them all! And then those Turtles and their friends will know to never again cross the brilliant Baxter Stockman! Isn't that right... Turtles?!” He whipped around at their hiding place and shot laser blasts at them. Everyone quickly dodged the blasts and surrounded him as Donnie asked. “How did you know we were here?” Stockman scoffed. “Please, I knew it was only a matter of time before you guys would track me down. In fact, I was counting on it!” “Unless you give up your evil ways, you’ll always be seeing us!” Leo declared. “And I won’t stop until all the world knows the genius of Baxter Stockman!” “And every time, your ego gets bigger.” Donnie mumbled. “Though I see you've brought some new faces.” Stockman noticed, Motioning to Keno, Chaplin, and Gabby. “Well, technically, I was there when you and those other baddies crashed their dance.” Keno recalled. “Yeah, I remember you.” Stockman remembered. Chaplin spoke up. “Baxter Stockman, I would just like to say it is an honor meeting you face to face.” “And you are?” Stockman raised his brow. “Dr. Chaplin Gomez. The new Foot Clan's head of science and engineering.” “Basically, he's your replacement, Stockman.” Karai pointed out. This made Stockman cross. “What?! You replaced ME with this upstart?!” “Well, technically, you broke away from the Foot after Shredder's demise, but I guess you could say that.” Chaplin pointed out. “Not to mention Chaplin's inventions are cooler.” Aria sneered. “Cooler?! No invention is cooler than mine!” “I still find your inventions very impressive.” Chaplin finished quickly. Stockman had enough. “ENOUGH! If you're with Karai and the Turtles, then you are my enemy as well, Chaplin!” “Eres una nutball certificable. You are a certifiable nutball.” Gabby rolled her eyes “Call me whatever in your native tongue, Missy! Because No one can stop me now!” Stockman pulled up his blaster. Raph scoffed. “Heard that before!” Gabby glared offended. “Missy?” “Spread out!” Leo cried as Stockman started blasting them as the group scattered around. “Still admire you!” Chaplin called before ducking from a blast. “Do I care? No! But if you really find my inventions impressive, here's closer look!” Stockman then summoned all his mouser and Stockman bots. “Attack these pests! And destroy that upstart!” “Ninjas, defend yourselves!” Leo called as they drew their weapons and attacked the attacking robots. “Get behind me!” Casey ordered Gabby. “Yeah right!” Gabby responded by grabbing one of his hockey sticks and started whacking bots and mousers. Raph impaled a couple mousers with his sais and slams their heads together. Casey swung his stick with a couple mousers on it. “Get. Off of my. Stick!” he grunted before whacking them off. “Booyakasha!” Mikey swung his nunchucks with a couple mousers on it until they smash together. “Here come more!” Donnie cried as more mousers charged at the ninjas. “Then it’s a good thing I come prepared.” Chaplin pushed a button and bigger and wilder mousers appeared and attack the mousers. “Allow me to present Mousers 2.0!” “You dare COPY MY CREATIONS!?” Stockman glared. “Just be happy I give you credit.” Chaplin smirked. Soon the Ninjas had defeated all the bots as Adagio called out to Stockman. “Is this the best you got, Stockman?” Stockman however laughed. “Of course not! That's why I'm gonna show you all what I made from the Kraang tech I stole!” He then pressed a button and a large robot smashed out of the container. It was giant three headed mouser robot that roared. “Meet my greatest creation, my Cerberus Mouser!” “Sorry I asked!” Adagio mumbled. Two of the Cerberus Mouser's heads smashed and destroyed the mouser 2.0 bots and the middle fired a laser at the Ninjas and they all dodged and took cover. Gabby spoke to Leo. “Okay, you were right! This guy is peligroso!” “Well, you did manage to hold your own against his bots.” Leo admitted. “Yeah, that's great and all, but how are we gonna stop that thing?!” Raph pointed to the threat. Donnie peeked out and looked at the Cerberus Mouser. “There are power cells on its legs, front, and back! If we can destroy them, we might be able to shut it down!” “But I don't think we can get close enough to do that!” April feared. “With my Blade Bots we can.” Chaplin pushed another button and summoned the Karai shaped bots from the van. Then he handed out three pairs of gloves and tech shades to the Dazzlings. “Put these on, ladies.” “What are we supposed to do with all this?” Aria asked the tech head. “Those will allow you three to control the Blade Bots. Like a VR game.” Sonata put the glasses and gloves and took control of the grey bot. “Wow! He's right! Look, I'm Karai! Shredder, you will pay for all that you have done to me!” “Not the time, Sonata.” Karai glared at her. “Even though she is accurate.” Shini grinned. Aria put her visor and gloves on and took control of the silver bot. “Okay, this is cool!” Adagio saw she controlled the gold bot. “I have to say, I'm impressed.” The Cerberus mouser slammed the two side heads while the Blade Bots dodge. Then the left head grabbed the silver bot and shocked it. Aria winced. “Cheap shot!” After the grey bot freed her, the two heads spun around like a propeller as the two scattered and they each hit a fusion cell. “Nah nah nah nah nah!” Sonata taunted. The middle head opened its mouth and fired rockets at the two. Suddenly, the gold bot jumped on its back stabbing the power cell. As the Ninjas fought off the Cerberus Mouser and the Stockman bots, Zach, Caitlyn, and Buffy watched from behind a container. “So awesome!” Zach awed. Caitlyn was taking pictures of the Cerberus Mouser as well as Stockman trying blast Chaplin. “Vern Fenwick, prepare to eat your heart out!” Stockman then managed to blast Chaplin into a container. “No!” Gabby cried. “Take that, upstart!” Stockman mocked right before Gabby whacked him into a container. “Wow, Stockman holds a grudge.” Buffy noticed. Zach agreed. “Yeah, the Turtles told us that he once trapped them and two of Shredder's mutants in a labyrinth of doom to destroy all of them!” Before Buffy could answer, two big hands grabbed her and covered her mouth to keep her from screaming before carrying her away. Zach and Caitlyn were too busy watching the fight to notice. Caitlyn then spoke up. “You say something, Buffy? Buffy?” The two looked around and noticed she was missing. “Where'd she go?” Zach wondered. Back at the fight, Mikey runs from more exploding missiles. “Just how much fire power does this thing have?” Casey groaned. Raph jumped in only to get swatted away. “Ow.” The gold bot was still slicing the middle core as Adagio sweated. “Got to destroy that thing.” Keno is then thrown and gets up all dazed. “But mommy! I don’t want to go to school today! I want to stay home and make rice balls with you.” Gabby grabbed him and shook him. “Keno! Animarse! Snap out of it!” Chaplin was still dodging more blasts from Stockman, while firing his own as Stockman spoke. “I'll admit your Blade Bots are impressive since they're still standing after taking so much damage from my mouser.” “Well, I did base them off your Foot Elite. And not to quote some cheesy line, but they can take a licking and keep on ticking!” Stockman then smirked. “But can they lick this?!” he then shouted. “Foot Elite, code red!” Suddenly, the Blade Bots stopped and began shaking, much to the Dazzlings' confusion. “What is happening?” Adagio asked as she tried to regain control. Then one by one, the Blade Bots self-destructed. “My babies!” Chaplin cried. “What just happened?!” Karai asked. Stockman chuckled. “This upstart said he based those bots off my Foot Elite. Well, what neither you nor Shredder knew is that when I built them, I also included a failsafe in the design. A self-destruct function that could only be activated by my voice command!” he then pushed another button. “Second wave. Activate!” Then, Another group of Mousers started to attack. “Aw swell! Another thousand mouths to feed!” Raph groaned. Shini panted as she backed up to Mikey. “I just need to catch my breath.” Mikey was equally tired. “Yeah. Can we call a time out?” The mousers respond by jumping on them. Aria slammed every mouser that jumped on her. “Get off me, you little-“ she growled as more piled on her. “Where does he get all these from?” Gabby grumbled. “There's too many!” Leo gasped. Soon everyone got piled on by mousers as Baxter laughed. “Now you are all at the mercy of Baxter Stockman!” He continued to laugh maniacally. Raph cried out to Chaplin. “Don't suppose you got like ANYTHING that can get us out of this mess?!” “Just this thing.” Chaplin struggled as he held up a small device. Stockman took one look and instantly stopped laughing as he seemed to recognize it. “Wait. What's that?” “What this? Oh it's nothing. Just an... EMP!” “What?” Before Stockman could react, Chaplin pressed the button and the device let out a small sonic wave, causing all the mousers to shut down, allowing the Turtles, Allies, and Dazzlings to stand. “I detest you.” “Looks like you lost your edge, Stockman!” Sonata taunted in song. “Oh yeah, there's still my Cerberus Mouser! It's shielded from emps! Get'em!” The giant mouser roared loud and went on the attack again, forcing the others to scatter and take cover again. “¡¿Cómo vamps a deter esto?! How are we gonna stop this thing?!” Gabby asked. Donnie peeked out and noticed the middle power cell was sparking and glared over to the destroyed Blade Bots. The Golden one's spear was on the ground and that gave him an idea. “I've got a plan. But I have to get to that spear! Cover me!” “This should get its attention.” Casey pulled out a couple exploding hockey pucks and hurried to another corner then jumped out. “Goongala!” he then smacked them at the Cerberus mouser, causing it to step back. Raph jumped out and stabbed one of the legs while Leo and Karai slashed the other. Meanwhile, Donnie grabbed the spear and started climbing crates. The Cerberus Mouser managed to shake everyone off before it got ready to blast them again. But at that moment... “Hey, you mechanical monstrosity.” The mouser turned to find Donnie standing on top of the crates. “Booyakasha!” Twirling the spear, he leaped off the crates and jabbed the weapon right into the power cell. “My mouser!” Baxter cried. The Cerberus Mouser then shook, causing Donnie to fall off, before it dropped to the ground, smashing some crates as it did. “Donnie!” April hurried over and helped him up. “Are you okay?” “Yeah, I think so.” Donnie groaned rubbing his head. Chaplin walked up to them. “I’m starting to see why you’re the smart one.” “Muy impresionante. Very impressive.” Gabby added. As Donnie smiled, Keno looked around to notice something missing. “Hey, where'd Stockman go?” Just then, Stockman appeared, floating behind them. “You may have beaten me this time, but rest assured, I will be back!” He laughed maniacally. Then Chaplin shot a laser blast at his rockets, which Stockman noticed. “Oh, you little-“ His rockets went haywire and he went flying away out of control shouting, “Curse you ninjas!” “Nice.” Donnie complimented as the two high-fived. “Guys!” Everyone looked to see Zach and Caitlyn run up to them. “Buffy's missing!” Caitlyn panted. “WHAT?” the group gasped. “We don’t know what happened! One moment, all three of us were watching you guys fight Stockman, then next thing I knew, she was gone.” “She couldn’t have gone too far.” Raph figured. “We better find her!” Sonata cried. “And fast!” Mikey added. “Let’s go!” Karai ordered. “Let go of me!” They heard Buffy shout and followed her voice till they rounded a corner and saw a large man get into a car, while holding a struggling Buffy in one arm. “Buffy!” The group rushed toward the car, but the man already drove away, leaving them in his wake. “No!” Caitlyn shouted. “Come on, team!” Leo said as they hurried toward their parked vehicles and drove after them. Gabby rode with the Turtles in the Party Wagon as she asked, “Who was that guy?” “And why would he kidnap Buffy?” whimpered Caitlyn, worried about her friend. “That's what we're going to find out.” Leo assured as he drove the van. Meanwhile, in an old hotel room, a very obese man in a hovering chair floated with his back turned, looking at picture of a Texas barbecue restaurant and growled in anger. “That backstabbing, double crossing, swine Arboost! Taken over my restaurant and turning into a barbecue behind my back! And I thought Cleve Celso was scum?” Sitting on the bed was none other than the Fulci Twins, formerly known as Touch and Go before they got de-powered. “You said it, Boss!” Vic agreed. “Just goes to show you can't trust no one!” Vinny folded his arms. Then the large man burst in, carrying Buffy on his shoulder as she kept hitting him and yelling, "Let go of me!" “I got her boss.” He reported and set her down on the floor. “You creep, what's the big... idea?” Buffy stopped as she noticed the Fulci Twins and looked up as the man in the chair turned around, revealing to be none other than Don Vizioso, the mutant-hating gangster. Vizioso looked at the big man. “Well done, Krusher! I knew you were the best choice as my new right hand.” Then he leaned down toward Buffy. “Hello, Buffy.” “Oh no...” Buffy whispered. The Foot Van and Party Wagon drove up nearby while April felt a vibe. “She’s here!” she declared. Leo and Chaplin stopped in front of the hotel. Everyone got out and see the hotel. Donnie gasped. “Oh no! Not here!” “Isn’t this where Vizioso hid out?” Casey recalled. “Don’t tell me he’s back.” Karai glared. “I heard about him! He one time bought a dozen pizzas from Antonio’s. Jerk never tipped.” Keno remembered. “Well, I do sense Buffy in there for sure.” April sensed. “Whether or not Vizioso is back, we need to help Buffy!” Leo stated as they began to head in. Unknown to them, Vic and Vinny spotted them. “Hey boss. We got company!” Vic reported. “It’s those turtles again!” Vinny noticed. Vizioso grumbled at the news. “Deal with them! I need to spend some family time.” “Yes sir!” Krusher smacked his fists. “With pleasure!” Vic smirked. “Been wanting to settle a score with those freaks!” chuckled Vinny. As the Ninjas made their way in, they were met by Vizioso's guards. “Freeze mutants!” “You didn’t say ‘please’.” Shini chuckled before she pulled out her hypno ball and hypnotized the guards. Raph and Casey then jumped in and jump kicked a couple guards while Leo and Karai threw smoke bombs and April, Donnie, and Adagio knocked them out. Before long, it looked like all the guards were beaten as Raph spoke. “Looks like Vizioso is losing his touch.” Suddenly, they were hit with a shockwave, knocking into a wall. As they got up, they saw the big man from before walk in. Only now, he was wearing big mechanical fists. “Who's that?” Donnie gulped. “Now you’re in trouble!” a guard chuckled. “Meet the Don's new right hand!” another guard added. “The name's Krusher!” The big guy grinned as he pounded his fists. “And you're gonna find out why!” He slammed his fists on the ground, making another shockwave that the Ninjas barely dodged. “Wow! This guy may be tougher than the Hammer!” Raph sweated. Meanwhile, Zach, Caitlyn, and Gabby snuck in through the back exit and found the twins guarding a room. “That must be where there holding Buffy.” Gabby whispered. “What do we do?” Zach asked. “What can we do? They are mobsters, not Purple Nightmares you can easily smack around.” Caitlyn quietly argued. “You know you’re no fun.” Zach said bluntly. Gabby shushed them. “Silencio. Both of you. I have an idea.” Meanwhile, inside the room, Buffy sat on the bed with her arms crossed looking away from Vizioso. “Ah, come on, Buffy. You used to love seein' your old Uncle Vizioso.” Vizioso smiled. “That was before I found out you were nothing but a gangster!” Buffy huffed. Vizioso frowned. “Oh yeah, and who told ya that? Those mutties?” “No! The news about your arrest!” Buffy recalled. “And how do you think I got in that position? Because of those mutties! They brainwashed you, Buffy. Makin' you think I'm bad guy when it's those freaks who are the enemy!” “Those freaks are my friends! Not to mention they saved all of New York from the Kraang!” Buffy still stood strong. Vizioso smirked. “So, they say.” Buffy looked up. “What do you mean?” “I’m saying that those mutties lied to you. They claim they save the city when, in reality, they’re just as bad as the aliens. Do they have any proof they saved the day? Not even on Shredder. I know the truth. They did nothing while our city suffered. They don’t care about you or any of us. Buffy, you’re family. Would I lie to you?” Buffy began to look uncertain from hearing her uncle’s words. “You know, I would almost buy that, except for one little thing.” “What?” Her uncertainty then turned back into a determined look again. “I saw those ‘mutties’ fight the Purple Dragons, who tried to ransom me! If they were anything like you said, they wouldn’t have bothered to save me! That is proof enough for me!” Hearing that just made Vizioso frown. “Buffy, I'm gonna get through to you if it's last thing I do!” Suddenly, Gabby burst in knocking down the Fulci Twins as she did so with Zach and Caitlyn right behind her. “You call that an idea?!” Caitlyn deadpanned. “Well it worked, chica!” Gabby dusted her hands. “Guys!” Buffy cheered. “Waste em!” Vizioso ordered his men. Vic got up and tried to punch Gabby only for her to block him and flipped him over. Vinnie jumped in but Gabby kicked him. Zach looked over to Vizioso. “Man! You are even uglier in person!” “I’ll show you ugly, kid!” Vizioso started blasting at him with the laser gun under his chair. Zach and Caitlyn dodged the shots then Zach looked around and saw a silver tray and started deflecting with it. Back in the lobby, the Ninjas were battling against Krusher and the guards. While the guards weren't an issue, Krusher on the other hand was proving hard for them to beat. Raph and Krusher were in a grapple, until the big man head bashed him then punched him all over before throwing him into a wall. Donnie hit him with his staff, but he didn't even flinch. Next thing Donnie knew, he was pounded into the wall next to Raph. “Hi-yah!” April hit him with a psychic blast that forced him back a little. Then he made a loud clap with his gloves, sending a shockwave that knocked April off her feet. Adagio and Aria leaped at him, but Krusher grabbed them and slammed them into Mikey when the turtle tried to sneak attack him. “Goongala!” Casey skated in and smashed his hockey stick over his head. Then Keno nailed him with a drop-kick. Krusher grabbed the two and smashed them into each other before punching them into a wall. Karai morphed into her snake form and wrapped around Krusher and one of his fists, making him hit himself, until Krusher managed to pull her off and body-slam her all over. Right before Shinigami knocked him away with a flying kick. “Man! This guy’s tough! He’s waxing our shells!” Donnie held his sore arm. Adagio looked around and noticed someone missing. “Hey! Where’s Sonata?” “Big dumb and strong must’ve knocked her out somewhere.” Aria guessed. “We’ll worry about her later. Let’s get him!” Leo jumped in and slashed at Krusher followed by Karai and Raph hitting his shoulder. Casey whacked with his stick, Donnie hitting with his staff, Mikey wrapped him up with his chain, Shini kicking him, April hitting him with a psychic blast, Keno hitting his sides with his sticks, Chaplin throwing a disc that electrocuted him and Adagio and Aria double punch his face. Krusher got up with a fierce glare before he slammed his gloves on the ground, knocking everyone away with a shockwave. Then he loomed over Leo. “Prepare to get crushed!” Krusher mumbled as he raised his fists ready to smash the turtle. Suddenly, there came a tire squeal and headlights flooded the lobby. Krusher turned just as the Foot Van came crashing through the door and plowed right into him sending the big man smashing into the reception's desk, knocking him out. It turned out it was Sonata at the wheel. “Crush that!” She grinned before she looked back at the others. “It's okay, I wore my seat belt.” Back in the room, Gabby was still fighting Vic and Vinny. Despite being two against one, Gabby was holding her own. The Twins had her backed against a wall as she blocked their blades with her hockey stick before she pushed them off her. “You're tougher than you look, kid.” Vinny admitted. “We'll give you that.” Vic agreed. Gabby spat the ground. “I'm just getting warmed up, tirones!” Vic looked at Vinny. “It’s two on one! How is she beating us?” “Count again!” Suddenly, Vic was smacked by Raph as the ninjas enter in. “Cuz she’s got back up!” “Guys!” cheered Zach. “Amigos! You made it!” Gabby smiled. The only one not happy was Vizioso. “You!” “Vizioso!” Donnie sneered. “How’d they get passed Krusher?” Vinny wondered. “He had a van to catch.” Shini joked as Sonata gleefully nodded. “I believe you have a friend of ours!” Leo pointed his sword. Vizioso reached over and grabbed Buffy. “You mutties stay back! I'm not lettin' yah anywhere near my precious niece!” “NIECE?!” Everyone gasped. “QUÉ PASÓ?!” cried Gabby. “He's your uncle?!” Caitlyn pointed. “It makes no sense?!” Mikey jawdropped. “Who What Where When HUH?!” Sonata stuttered. April look towards her rich friend. “Buffy, is Don Visioso really your uncle?” “Unfortunately.” Buffy sighed. Vizioso continued. “Krusher's been my outside man ever since you freaks put me in the slammer! Once my boys broke me outta prison, The first thing I hear is that my niece is seen hanging out with you mutties! I don't know how you brainwashed her, but I'm gonna fixed dat! So, I hired Stockman to distract y'all long enough for Krusher to grab my niece and away from you! And destroying you will be a big bonus!” “We didn't brainwash her!” Leo argued. “Yeah, that's what I told him. He didn't listen.” Buffy pointed out. “So I'm warnin' you mutties! You keep away from my niece or-.Ow!” Vizioso was cut off when Gabby threw her hockey stick, hitting him in the head, causing him to let go of Buffy who ran back to the others. “Thanks, Gabby.” She embraced her friend. “Ta nada.” Gabby smiled. Vizio glared at Gabby. “Why you!” “Hey, Vizioso!” Donnie flipped behind him and jabbed his spear into his chair. “Everyone, duck!” Vizioso groaned. “Not again.” His chair shot forward as the Ninjas ducked. The Fulci Twins woke up from their knockout and were caught by the chair as it went bouncing through the hall and down the stairs to the lobby. Krusher woke up and was also swept up by the chair as it crashed through the doors. Vizioso and his men fell off as the chair went spiraling into the air and exploded. At that moment, police cars pulled up and surrounded the four. “Oh, by the way, I called the police hours ago!” Caitlyn called out the window. Out from one of the police cars stepped a woman with straight light blonde hair. She wore a black suit and her badge read 'Chief Vincent'. “Don Visioso. Should've known you had an outside man. But he's not gonna be able to bust you out this time.” “MUTTIES!” Vizioso shouted as the cops arrested him and his men. “Good riddance to that creep!” Raph huffed. “You said it.” Aria agreed. Karai spoke to Gabby. “I halfta admit you handled yourself well, Gabriele.” “Gracias.” Casey jumped in. “I'll say. You helped against Stockman and Vizioso in one night!” “So now can you guys explain everything?" "Alright," Leo said. “But we should do it somewhere, not surrounded by cops.” Raph stated as they began to leave before the cops saw them. “Like where?” Gabby followed. Soon she was admiring the lair. “Increíble!” Chaplin looked impressed too. “You said it, prima. Awesome pad, guys.” “Thanks.” Donnie grinned. “We thought the same.” Buffy smiled. “Let's head to the dojo, so we can explain our story.” Leo instructed. In the dojo, after everyone had told Gabby their stories, the Latina was amazed. “Wow! That's quite a story.” “We know, but it's true.” Leo admitted. “I'm really sorry about your father.” “Thank you, Gabby.” Karai nodded. Gabby then looked towards the Dazzlings. “But you three said you were from another world?” “That’s right.” Sonata confirmed. “It’s called Equestria. It’s a magical place where ponies live.” Adagio explained. “Are you three ponies as well?” “We’re…actually sirens.” Aria admitted. Adagio continued. “You see, years ago, we were pretty bad. In Equestria, we used jewels to absorb negativity from ponies until we were banished and ended up here, assuming these forms you see. You see, anyone who comes from Equestria to here becomes a human or a dog.” “We then learned that there was a portal to Equestria at a place called Canterlot High. And that was where we met the Rainbooms.” Aria added. “Who?” Gabby raised a brow. “They’re a High School band.” Buffy assured her. “Ah! Seguir. Continue.” Adagio nodded and continued. “After a battle of the bands, our gems were destroyed. Wanting revenge, we followed them on a trip to New York and met Karai, who was brainwashed serving the Shredder.” “After we told him our story, he let us join the Foot Clan and had Karai train us to fight. Which was so not easy!” Aria winced. Karai smirked. “Better from me than Shredder.” Sonata picked out where they were. “Shredder also had Stockman fix our pendants so we could have our magic back. But I was starting to have second thoughts about how far we had gone.” “During our final battle against the Turtles, Rainbooms, and their allies, Shredder almost accidentally got me and Aria until Sonata took the blow for us!” “We thought she-“ Aria grimaced before snapping out of it. “Anyway, we declared a truce with the Rainbooms and sent Shredder flying. Thankfully, Sonata survived.” “It was there that we learned revenge wasn’t everything. We destroyed our pendants and left New York and started a new life.” Adagio added. “It wasn’t until Bishop came and recruited us to help with a monster named Gaea Everfree that we returned, and we were able to prove that we were better than before.” Sonata grinned. “At that time, Karai was rebuilding the Foot Clan and offered us to join. We accepted and you know the rest.” Adagio concluded. Gabby was very amazed. “Wow! That was intense. But after what we all just went through; I can believe it.” “Thank you, Gabby, but you gotta promise not to tell anyone about us. And we mean anyone!” Leo strictly instructed. “No te preocupes, I can keep a secret.” Gabby assured. Mikey perked up. “Okay, but I just gotta know last thing... are you like Casey's girlfriend now?” Blushing, Gabby answered his question by sucker-punching him. Raph smirked. “I think we’re gonna get along just fine.” “Ow...” Mikey grinned. “And that's how we all met.” Gabby finished telling her story to the Rainbooms. “So awesome!” Cheered Rainbow. “Wow!” Pinkie awed. “You really handled yourself well, Gabby. Of course, I believed it after seeing you against Arboost.” Rarity grinned. “And if you’re alright with the ninjas, you’re alright with us.” Sunset said with a smile. “Gracias.” Thanked Gabby. “You’re alright with me as well, Gabby.” Blade added. “Thanks, Blade.” Gabby smiled as the two locked hands. As everyone talked, Leo quietly snuck out of the band room. He sighed as he rubbed his eyes before he heard a familiar voice. “Something troubling you, my son?” Leo looked and saw Master Splinter looking concerned. “Hey, Sensei. Just thinking that is the second time we got exposed! And while it resulted in us making new friends, I promised you we’d be more careful after the Muckman fiasco. I’m sorry, Sensei.” Splinter gave a comforting smile. “There is nothing to be sorry about, Leonardo. I understand you always try to learn from your mistakes. While I was furious that you were on the news, I could have handled it a little better. Do you remember what I told you at Camp Everfree when we had to help CHS?” “That sometimes rules were meant to be broken?” Leo recalled. “Correct. And it resulted in making new friends and allies. As well as new members of the Hamato Clan. With some possible new candidates in the future.” “New clan members? Who?” Leo looked to see his sensei had vanished again. He smiled feeling a bit better as he re-entered the band room, whispering. “Thank you, father.” Luckily, no one noticed Leo was gone as they continued to talk to Gabby. He walked up to Twilight, who he assured that everything was okay. Then, Pinkie spoke up. “Wonder if we'll ever face Don Vizioso?” “I'd rather not.” Shuddered Rarity. “He's still in jail, so I doubt we'll ever him again.” Casey assured. Meanwhile, in prison, Don Vizioso was indeed still there. But if you were to look at him now, you'd hardly recognize him. For one thing, he was no longer in his chair and was actually lifting weights. His fat was now replaced with muscles. The only thing that didn't change was his hatred for the Turtles and their allies. “Those mutties are gonna pay! If I ever see them again, they're dead!” he growled. His rant was interrupted by a guard. “Vizioso, you got a visitor!” Vizioso put down his weights and walked up to the door of his cell. Standing there was a tall man in a white suit. And oddly, he wore a black mask that covered his whole face. It was shaped like a skull. “Don Vizioso?” the man asked. “Who wants to know?” Vizioso glared. “I'm Black Mask. And I have a proposition for you...”
