It was just another day at the Cartoon Network City Mall. Six teenagers were together as always.

"I'm so proud of Mike..." Jen said to the others. "I've never been more proud than to be her sister, and Jamie feels the same way, though of course in a brotherly sense."

"Why?" Caitlin asked. "What happened?"

"She became an Ultra Wolf." Jen replied.

"What's that?" Jude asked.

"Basically, it's the next step of being a werewolf," Jen replied. "First, you develop powers as a kid, and you're like a puppy... A lot like our close family friends Yuki and Ame. Then you become a training wolf when you hit puberty, and the final step is an ultra wolf, and if you're worthy enough as an adult, you become the leader of your group, or Alpha."

"That's so cool, dude, so your little sister is an Ultra Wolf now." Jude commented.

"Yep," Jen smiled. "I'm so proud of her."

Nikki seemed distracted.

"Nikki, you've been texting ever since the tournament last week, who is it?" Jen asked.

"It's that dude who texted her before the Games started, his name's Yusuke." Jude told her.

"Uh, what?" Nikki asked as she looked up.

"See what I mean?" Jonesy said to Jen.

"Yusuke?" Jen asked. "Isn't that Duncan and Abby's friend?"

"Yeah, he seems like a cool dude the way Duncan and Abby talk about him." Jude replied.

"How'd you get his number?" Jen asked Nikki.

"Uh... I don't know..." Nikki said, though it seemed to be a lie.

"Nikki, I know that you're lying." Jen warned.

"Fine..." Nikki rolled her eyes with a sigh. "I went to Japan for a family vacation. My mom suggested it. That's when I saw him in the local arcade, and I played him in this fighting game, and I beat him, and suddenly, we ended up talking to each other."

"Cool story, Bro." Jude commented, thinking that was it.

"I think it's a sign of love~" Caitlin smiled.

"We're just friends," Nikki replied. "Nothing more."

"Oh, but Nikki, you have to see him again!" Caitlin urged.

"Oh, please, like I'm going to Japan again right this second." Nikki deadpanned.


Duncan and Abby were both talking on their communicator.

"Slow down, Yusuke, what's going on?" Duncan said to their old friend.

"It's Botan," Yusuke replied. "I don't know what's happened, but she's hurt bad."

"Botan is hurt?" Duncan frowned.

"That doesn't sound very good, can't Koenma do something?" Abby asked.

"I don't know what's going on," Yusuke shrugged. "All she said was that The Spirit World was in trouble, and she passed out after that."

"All right... We'll be right over." Duncan told the Spirit Detective.

"And we'll round up people we can get." Abby added.

"Great, thank you." Yusuke said in relief before hanging up on the communicator.

Duncan then pulled out his cell phone and dialed a certain number. "Mike, it's me, listen, we need to get to Japan, it's an emergency, are you busy?" he then asked before getting an answer. "Great... Oh, even better! I'll see you then," he then hung up before turning to his sister. "Mike is coming, along with Sky, Lil, and Sammy."

"Cool, I need to make one more call," Abby said before she pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Jo, it's me, there's an emergency in Japan, and we need all the help that we can get."

"Plus she can see her boyfriend again." Duncan smirked, referring to Hiei.


"I'll have to find a babysitter for Autumn," Jo said on the phone with Abby. "Sue has to visit her parents for something important."

"Just take her with you," Duncan shrugged. "We'll watch over her."

"If she gets hurt; I'm going to rip out your spine." Jo threatened.

"Uh, fair enough." Duncan gulped nervously.

"I suppose Autumn's stronger than she was when we first took her in..." Jo said as she looked to the five-year-old girl who was coloring in a coloring book while Steve and Cleo watched her and the puppies took their mother's milk.

"Are you excited to see your boyfriend again?" Abby couldn't help but tease.

"He's not my boyfriend," Jo scoffed. "Just a rival and nothing more."

"That's what they said about you and Brick MacArthur on Revenge of the Island." Duncan smirked.

"I hope you two realize I can snap you both in a second now that I'm an Ultra Wolf." Jo reminded.

"Hey, just friendly conversation." Abby shrugged.

"We'll get ready, and meet you at The League Headquarters and we can take the jet." Jo suggested.


"See you then." Duncan nodded.

"Well, looks like we're going back to Japan." Abby said.

"Feels so soon, but it'll be fun..." Duncan shrugged. "Good times."

Unknown to them, Nikki heard everything and got up and walked away.

"Where are you going?" Wyatt asked.

"Uh, I just remembered I gotta go see my grandparents, and I won't be back for a while." Nikki lied.

The others looked confused as Nikki suddenly left.


Duncan and Abby had now arrived at HQ and were now talking to Dexter.

"You need the jet for what?" The boy genius asked.

"To go to Japan," Abby replied. "Our friend Yusuke Urameshi needs our help."

"Hmm... Is it supernatural?" Dexter asked.

"Botan's hurt, so it's very likely." Abby nodded.

"Very well," Dexter approved. "So, who are you bringing with you?"

"Mike, Jo, Sky, Lil, Sammy, and I think that Justine might be coming too." Duncan replied.

"And me too." Nikki's voice said.

Everyone then turned over in surprise. "Nikki Wong?!" they then asked out of shock.

"How did you get in here?!" Dexter glared.

"I stole Jude's ID," Nikki replied. "I figured you just let him into this place because of Bridgette."

"That is treason, Nikki," Dexter glared. "I could have you dealt with right away and banned from The Cartoon League like that annoying Jonny boy who wants to be Captain Melonhead."

"Or, you could just let me go with Duncan and Abby to Japan." Nikki replied.

"And why should I let you go to Japan then?" Duncan crossed his arms at the punk girl.

"Because I want to help," Nikki glared. "Is that okay with you?!"

"But you don't have any special abilities." Abby pointed out.

"Yeah, you can only be in the League if you have special abilities." Duncan added.

"I'm afraid they are right, Nikki, now if you will kindly leave before I call security, that would be great." Dexter told Nikki.

"Jude doesn't have any special abilities, how come he got in, is it because of his girlfriend?!" Nikki glared. "I don't why you even need special abilities to join this place!" She then walked away in anger and saw the girls invited by Duncan and Abby walking toward the office.

"Hi, Nikki." Sammy waved.

Nikki simply walked away, not saying anything.

"Well, that was rather uncalled for." Sky commented.


"Stupid rules," Nikki complained. "I wish that I did have special abilities."

"So you have wished it, so it shall be." A voice told the girl.

"Huh?" Nikki blinked.

A certain young teenage girl appeared with her aunt and an older teenage girl who came up behind Nikki and the woman blasted the purple-haired girl with a magical aura.

"That's how you do it, kid." The older teenage girl told Larissa.

"I know how to grant wishes, Shantae." Larissa told her tutor as Desiree granted Nikki's wish.

"Whoa, I feel really weird on the inside..." Nikki muttered to herself slightly.

"Aunt Desiree, what powers did you give her?" Larissa whispered.

"I... Oh... I'm actually not sure..." Desiree replied.

"I guess we should watch?" Shantae suggested.

"Yes." Desiree nodded.

"What the...?" Nikki gasped as a scythe appeared in her hand, but she soon suddenly sliced through the air and a dark energy beam shot at a tree. "Holy crap, that was so cool!"

"What kind of powers did you give her?" Shantae asked Desiree.

"She can control dark energy with that scythe." Desiree informed.

"Isn't darkbending dangerous?" Shantae asked Desiree. "My mother's told me about some darker and more serious Elements."

"Since I gave her the powers, she can control it." Desiree reassured.

"Smart move." Shantae smiled.

"That's my Aunt Desiree!" Larissa beamed.

"I still don't understand why they let Jude in, he doesn't even have powers," Nikki huffed about The Cartoon League rules. "Well, I'll show 'em... I'm going to Japan with Duncan and Abby, and with my new abilities." She then smirked as she decided to sneak onto the jet and waited for the others to come.


"I really hope Botan is okay." Duncan commented.

"She's your old girlfriend, I guess that's natural." Abby said to him.

"Will you cut that out?!" Duncan snapped at her as she smirked. "There was nothing between us when Dex sent us to find that missing demon!"

"Both of you guys cut it out, this is important." Mike scolded.

"Sorry, Mike." Duncan and Abby said.

They soon climbed onto the Jet. Nikki snuck on, almost like a shadow, and no one seemed to notice her.

"All right, we all here?" Mike asked the others before taking her seat.

"Something is not right here," Jo said to the others. "I smell someone else on here."

"Now that you mention it, I smell it too." Mike replied.

"Wasn't me." Duncan shrugged innocently.

"Not that..." Lil said to him since she was allowed to come as well.

"It's not me either." Sammy said.

"It smells like someone else is on here." Mike told the others.

The werewolves came together to find out the scent.

"We can figure it out later, we have to go." Duncan told them.

"Hold on a minute..." Mike said as she soon found and grabbed someone from behind the jet.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Nikki glared.

"Nikki Wong?!" Everyone else asked in shock.

"Nikki, what are you doing here?" Mike scolded.

"Going to Japan with you." Nikki replied innocently.

"No you're not, Dexter said so." Mike said.

"Yes, I am." Nikki glared as she summoned her scythe and held it against Mike's throat.

"Did you steal that from Grim?" Mike asked, unfazed by the scythe.

"Watch." Nikki glared as she soon came out of the jet.

Everyone then came to the windows to see. Nikki bowed her head and then used her new scythe to show dark energy and she seemed able to control it.

"How did you get that ability?" Sammy asked.

"Let's just say, someone granted my wish." Nikki replied.

"I feel like Desiree is around here somewhere in that case..." Mike replied. "Well... All right, Nikki, you can come with us."

"Sweet!" Nikki smirked before looking annoyed. "By the way, how come Jude is allowed in The League when he doesn't have powers when Bridgette does?"

"Jen recommended him actually," Mike revealed. "He's really good at shooting arrows, so Dexter made him lots of energy-based arrows."

"Like The Green Arrow?" Nikki asked.

"Exactly," Mike nodded. "I guess you didn't know about that."

"It would've been nice to know..." Nikki deadpanned.

"All right, go take a seat," Mike told her. "We're off to Japan, and since this is the jet, we'll be there in no time."

Everyone took a seat as Mike was piloting the jet as it was taking them to Japan.

"So, um, who are you exactly?" Lil asked.

"Nikki Wong," Nikki told her. "I work at the Mall with Mike's sister and our friends. Aren't you from Nicktropolis?"

"Yeah, I'm Lil DeVille," Lil replied. "Mike's girlfriend."

"Of the week?" Nikki smirked.

"Very funny, but we've been dating for quite a while now." Mike said to her.

"Oh, really?" Nikki asked. "For how long?"

"A year." Mike informed.

"I really think we have something," Lil smiled. "Even though Mike's a girl, I've never felt happier than with anyone else in my life."

Mike smiled back to that as she piloted the jet.

"How about you, Beauty and the Jock?" Nikki asked, obviously meaning Justine and Jo. "How long have you guys been together."

"Two years now." Justine smiled.

"I still don't understand, what do you see in Jo?" Nikki asked.

"Because, Jo saved me..." Justine replied softly. "I could've been badly hurt by someone, but soon, Jo came to my rescue, and did something very brave... She saved my life."

"Wait a minute, are you telling me that she, the one who only cares about winning, the one who bullies everyone for her own amusement, saved your life?!" Nikki gawked as she pointed at the jockette.

"Why else would I go out with Jo?" Justine slightly deadpanned.

"You got a problem with that, Punk?" Jo added with a glare. "'Cuz if you do, you better say it to my face!"

"Sorry, I just can't see you saving someone's life." Nikki said to the jockette in disbelief.

"Oh, really, why's that?" Jo huffed.

"You're still the same person I know on Revenge of the Island and Cartoon Cartoon Island." Nikki defended.

"Nikki, why don't you believe me?" Justine asked. "I wouldn't lie. If Jo was still like that, do you really think I would go out with her? You just don't know the Jo that I know."

"Yeah, Jo is our friend," Mike added. "And she's changed a lot."

"Oh, really?" Nikki scoffed.

"Yes." Justine said as she hugged her girlfriend's arm.

"Well, I'll believe it when I see it." Nikki shrugged.

The others sighed as that seemed like it would take a lot of work.

"So, uh, Mike, how do you know how to fly a jet?" Lil asked.

"Jamie taught me how to fly," Mike replied. "He was part of the League for a long time before I have."

"He's like a veteran or a founding member, huh?" Sammy said.

"Basically, yeah." Mike nodded.

"Well, you're really good." Lil smiled.

"I hope I'm better than Floyd." Mike said.

"Who's Floyd?" Lil asked.

"Back when the island finally got a mail service and I was expecting mail from my old friends, Max and Melissa, this wacky pilot guy named Floyd Nickels who wanted to be called 'Airhead' flew his plane on the island with his dog, Jack, even though Lu thought they were invaders." Mike explained.

"Well, you're getting good at it." Lil smiled.

"Thanks, Princess." Mike smiled back.

"So, Sky, how do you feel now that you're an Ultra Wolf now?" Sammy asked Sky.

"I don't know what to say..." Sky smiled. "I just feel amazing... I guess this is how you must feel against... Well... You know..." she then winked.

"Yeah, I guess I can get that." Sammy smiled back.

"I can do different things now that I'm an Ultra Wolf now." Sky replied.

"Like what?" Sammy asked.

"Well, I'm a lot stronger for one," Sky said. "I can hear a lot better... It's like my senses got ten times stronger, even back when I found out about my werewolf heritage, and I'm a lot faster too. My shadowbending is stronger, I can do awesome stuff and some new techniques."

"That's awesome," Sammy smiled. "What kind of new techniques?"


The trip went on for a while, but it would stop soon. Mike let out a small yawn and stretched before she soon landed the jet once they came to where they needed to go.

Yusuke was shown sitting alone as he stared up at the sky while birds flew around. He then saw the jet land on top of a school which made him smile. "They're here."
