A/N: Here's chapter 12, features the song "Holding Out for a Hero" Jennifer Saunders version from "Shrek 2", minus piano intro. The song is owned & (c) its original owners, whoever that is. If any of you bug me about a stupid rule in the reviews, I'll hunt you down & gut you like a fish. J/K But for real, I'd much prefer you do so through e-mail. Oh, and please, polite cunstructive cretique. Okey-dokeys? Well, Enjoy!

Thanks lots to hazlov2004 for the fave, alert & great comment. Thank you too much!

Chapter 12, Journey to Sinister Tower w/ "Holding Out for a Hero":

J.P.: And so, begins the quest for victory.

The good guys are all in different flying vehicles; the Ducks, Trainers, Sharks, Bends, their sidekicks & mascots are in the Aerowing, the Turtles & most of Fellowship take the Turtle Blimp as Ida & Spooky fly, the Ex-Dinos take their flying vehicles with the Imaginary gang; Bloo with T-Bone, Coco with Stegz, Wilt with Spike, Eduardo with Hardrock, Draco with Bright Eyes and Indy on Bullzeye's back. The MagiDragons fly as well with their human allies & Drizzle riding them.

Drizzle: I'm starting to get a bad feelin' about this.

Lucky: Join the club.

Eduardo: Who are we going against?

T-Bone: Besides the Raptors & Duchess, we don't know, Ed.

Indy: Only the future can tell us.

In the Aerowing…

Josh: So Drake-ster, you say you have a couple sibs.

Drake: Yup. I live with my mom, step-dad, younger sister and little brother Joey. I also have an older sister named Joyce, but she's married making me a brother in-law. Whoo!

Josh: Aw man, I envy you. After my folks got divorced, it was just me & my mom. Things got really lonely.

Charlotte: So, you joined a group of law-breaking punks.

Josh: Hey! I really don't like talking about my past.

Drake: There, there. (pats back)

Sara: Yeah man, cheer up. You made up for it by being a Chosen Trainer and fighting Draguanus.

Buzz: Not to mention, do a part in protecting the environment.

Josh: Thanks guys.

Bulbasaur: Bulba.

Our heroes go just over the ocean.

J.P.: But unaware to them that they're being… watched by some really bad guys in a certain place called Sinister Tower.

They're watching them over the big screen.

Fuji: (Chuckles) Well, those meddlesome lizards found help.

Rock Steady: Oh, let's make things more interesting & challenging.

Headmaster: Already taken care of.

He presses a button, the water below our heroes starts swirling.

Draco: Hey, the ocean's moving.

T-Bone: He's right, it's like there's something in it.

Triton: Water's my specialty. Hold this.

He hands Pauline to Bowen then dives down to see what's in the water. There, he sees a giant creature!

Creature: (Humming)

Triton gets out of the water and to the others.

Aidan: Well, what'd ya find?

Triton: It was a giant jellyfish.

Garrett: A what?

Drizzle: Don't ya think you've been watchin' too much SpongeBob?

Triton: I really saw one.

That's when the creature emerges from the sea to reveal itself as a giant jellyfish robot that can levitate in midair.

Everyone: Uh-oh.

Triton: Told ya.

Bowen: It's a robot.

T-Bone: C'mon, guys.

Ex-Dinos: Let's carnivate 'em!

TMNT: Turtle Power!

It grabs hold of the Aerowing with its enormous tentacles.

Everyone: Whoa!

Wildwing: What the puck is that?

Tanya: Well, if I didn't know better, I'd say that was a giant, robotic jellyfish.

Josh: Where's SpongeBob when ya need him?

Sara: I think it's time to start the music!

Arwen: I knew I felt a song coming on.

Charmander: Char.

J.P.: All righty. I think I have the perfect one.

The heroes begin fighting the robot jellyfish with background music.

(I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night!)

The Dinos start swirling around the robot, it releases the Aerowing.

(He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight. I need a hero!)

The Aerowing fires explosive missiles but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light.)

Bowen tries using an ice beam, that doesn't do anything either.

(He's gotta be sure. And it's gotta be soon. And he's gotta be larger than life. Larger than life.

Garrett: Oy! What does it take to destroy this undersea bucket of bolts?

Stegz: It's gotta have some kinda weakness somewhere.

Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy, somewhere just beyond my reach, there's someone reaching back for me.)

Aidan uses his lightning & fire combo but that doesn't do much.

(Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat.)

The Trainers release their flying Pokemon.

(It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet!)

Buzz: Dragonite! Hyper Beam!

Dragonite: (Roars)

He fires a Hyper Beam and that almost gets it.

(Up where the mountains meet the heavens above, out when the lightning splits the sea.)

Altaria tries Dragon Breath, that almost gets it also.

(I would swear that there's someone somewhere watching me.)

The MagiDragons combine all their unique powers.

(Through the wind end the chill and the rain and the storm and the flood.)

But that still isn't enough.

(I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood!)

(Chorus: Like a fire in my blood. x4)

Draco: (Groans) Doesn't this thing even have a weakness?

Bright Eyes: It's gotta or else this'll have a lame chapter.

Phoebe: I have an idea. Ida, get me onto that thing's head.

Donatello: Phoebe, be careful, the stingers are deadly, don't let them touch you!

Ida flies Phoebe to the Jellyfish's head, she starts searching for a clue.

(Chorus: Hero!)

She suddenly spots a small door, she opens it to reveal its wires, gears & the like.

Phoebe: Bingo!

The jellyfish tries smashing her with its tentacle but Ida saves her friend in time. Phoebe uses her collar to contact the others.

Phoebe: Everyone, there's a small door on its head.

Tanya: That's it! If we could put an explosive in there, then it's bye-bye jelly.

Swimmy: (Quack!)

Leaper: (Croaks)

He finds an explosive puck, he & Leaper go out the door and jump onto the jellyfish's head.

Sylvia: Swimmy, Leaper, no! It's too dangerous!

They open the door and place the explosive puck in.

(I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night!)

Leaper: (Croaks, high-fives Swimmy)

(He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be larger than life!)

The jellyfish then blows up as Swimmy & Leaper jump off it and plop into the ocean.

Drake: Guys!

Jab: I doubt they'd survive a drop like that, even with their super-endurance.

Ripster: Jab, I don't think that's helping.

The Sharks' 2 sidekicks are saddened for a second, but soon do they see the super-powered critters rise out of the water on the head of a right whale.

Sylvia: Swimmy! Leaper!

Drake: They're all right!

Both: Yay!

(Chorus: Hero!)

(He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight. I need a hero!)

(Song ends)

Triton: Whoo-hoo! We rock!

Michelangelo: Cowabunga! (high-fives Triton)

T-Bone: Great. Now, let's get outta here.

Bullzeye: Yeah, onto Sinister Tower.

Wind Chaser takes Swimmy & Leaper and drops them off in the Aerowing as Bowen does the same with Lance & Pauline. The Dragons take the remains of the jellyfish robot and dump it somewhere off-screen. Then return and follow the others.

J.P.: Whew! Well, that finally ends chapter 12. Now, let's see what the next obstacle is.
