Track playing:Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger from Ryusoulger by Tomoshiro Hatano

(With a shining sword! They're sworn to a battle road!)

Five Ryusoulgers were marching down some ruins with their swords drawn as they faced off against Drunn soldiers, Minosaurs, Kraang droids, and ninjas! They're respective Kishiryus then appeared behind them before they all charged into battle!

(The knights who will never forsake the world they defend! Determined to stride down the path they've chosen! A righteous emblem signifying their heroism!)

In the Lair, Leonardo and Raphael were sparing while Tyramigo was cheering them on! On the surface, Donatello was working on a blank Ryusoul Key on the rooftop as Michelangelo was skateboarding across while April was watching with a smile on her face. With a black background behind her, a black knight points a gun with a mosasaur motif at the camera before blinding it! She then became Ryusoul Gold before quickly slashing two Drunn soldiers behind her with a dagger with teeth and a chainsaw handle!

(It's time for your souls to be as one!)

Then we see a quick flash of numerous prehistoric creatures long past! A Dimetrodon near a volcano, a Pachycephalosaur and a Stygimoloch in a boxing ring, two different Raptors under a solar eclipse, and a Haast Eagle flying through a frozen tundra!

(They'll never run, no matter the time! Their dynamic and steely steps will ring across the earth!)

In Japan, Hamato was screaming in despair at the burning shrine. In Europe, an army of Druidon tribesmen was growing with a purple knight with a sword and shield leading them! Back in New York, the four turtles and one human pulled out five Ryusoul keys and changed into Ryusoulgers!

(With a shining sword! They're sworn to a battle road! Sharing a dream with others is how you can make it stronger! Take a look at your limits and blast right past them, let's go!)

The battle was hitting its climax as the six Ryusoulgers used the power of their other keys to demolish the enemy as the Kishiryus formed a humanoid mecha as it barreled through the Minosaurs, changing modes rapidly!

(Serve justice and strike down darkness, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger!)

Long after the battle, the six Ryusoulgers and Splinter were watching the sunset with the Kishiryus!

Never Say Ryusoulger

It was night as Shredder gazes over the city, inside of an old decrepit building while Bradford kneeled before him. "Hamato Yoshi's disciples are turtles? And yet they managed to defeat you!?" "Not just turtles. Man-sized turtles. Trained in ninjutsu! And I almost had them-." "Till you led us into their trap!" Xever told his partner as he stepped forward and kneeled as while before beginning to that he should have let him end their lives until Gaisoulg broke the doors leading to the room down and told them that nothing he did would make a difference! "You couldn't leave a mark on me let-alone kill any of those animals!" "Silence!" Shredder ordered, drawing their attention to him as he descended down the stairs while extending the blades on his right gauntlet and pointing the tips to his student's throats! "You were such a promising student. I expected much more from you." He told him as Bradford begged for a second chance to redeem himself when suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the two blades were cut clean off like hair! In a brief shock, Shredder looked to the one who did the act as the knight was now twirling his sword. "You could give everyone present a tenth chance and they would still fail because the Ryusoul Tribe is naturally stronger. They train their young when they learn to walk, and they amp up their training each year!"Gaisoulg explained as Shredder scowled under his helmet but also said that they just have to use other methods before turning to Xever and told him he was in charge which makes him happy while making Bradford angry. "I won't take orders from this gutter trash!" "That is why you won't be involved in future missions with the Brazilian In fact, you'll be on a… vacation."The knight told the martial artist before Shredder denies him this, telling them they will both do as he commands before sprouting two more blades from his left gauntlet. "You dare threaten me, human?" Gaisoulg asks in his own threatening tone while pointing his sword to the Foot Clan leader, who narrows his eyes.

Track playing:Gaisoulg-Action from Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger

Seeing the two squaring off, Bradford and Xever hastily ran to one side of the room before the two warriors started circling each other. After a moment, they stopped before Shredder extended a third blade from his right arm and lunged forward swiftly! Gaisoulg raised his shield to redirect the blades before attempting to slash at his back but only succeeded in cutting off his cape! Shredder then back kicked him away before thrusting his blades into the knight, who stopped them with the side of his shield! "I've lived for millions of year do you honestly think I haven't seen every fighting style!?" He asked rhetorically while grabbing a punch from his opponent before using his right foot to trip up! He then jumped away while Initiating his third finisher! "Immortal! Hell Die!" He then unleashed a cross made of energy at Shredder who only had moments to roll out of the away before throwing a smoke bomb at Gaisoulg to blind him, but during that the knight let loose his primary attack, causing the bombs to be evaporated and the floor below the leader to explode along with shattering the remaining blades on the shredder's gauntlets! "Amittas!" He declared before charging at Shredder, who was shaking off the disorientation, just in time to see Gaisoulg on top of him as he proceeded to slash him with the side of his shield before using his sword in a one-two pattern three times! And finally, the knight headbutts shredder before uppercutting him with his shield! "Now... are we done?" He asked while catching his breath as he lightly pressed the tip of his sword to his downed opponents chest.

It was then that he started to feel a sharp pain in his side. He grabbed it and swiftly yanked it out before signaling Xever to follow him as he walked out of the room. Shredder slowly got up while Bradford approached him cautiously to see if his master was alright. "Enjoy your victory while you can, it will be your last!" Shredder declared with pure malice before ordering Bradford to check on Stockman and Falco's work.

Meanwhile, the Turtles were stealthily following April and Masters Blue and Black, with the former getting annoyed. "You guys want to speed it up a little?!" She asked irritatedly as Donnie suddenly appeared behind her, asking if she thought turtles were slow. "That's a hurtful stereotype." Mikey told her while Raph was behind him and all four were behind a ticket booth. "Trust us April, we are better off keeping a low profile. We find people treat us better when we don't exist." Leo told her before Black then chimed in, adding that going out as Ryusoulgers doesn't help either as they are recently being treated like celebrities. "Sorry. I'm just so excited to get you out of the sewers for a change!" "What are you talking about? We go out all the time. Hell, Tyramigo goes out every time to play with school kids during recess!" Raph retorted, reminding them that the Kishiryu was a big-hit with children. "And like Tyramigo, you're gonna do something besides hitting people. And don't worry, you're gonna love this noodle place I found." "And you're sure we'll be welcomed?" Donnie asked anxiously as she told them that the owner doesn't care what you look like. "Because he's seen everything this world has to offer?" Blue asks while removing his helmet, revealing his bony-armored face. "Actually, Mr.Murakami won't even know what you'll look like. He's blind." "Awesome-ow! I mean it's convenient for us." Mikey corrected himself after being smacked lightly on the back of the head.

As they arrive, they see the place being trashed by a gang and the owner being beaten by them! "Who are those creeps?" "The Purple Dragons. They think they own the streets around here!" "Not for long." Blue stated while walking up to the door with murderous intention as he then kicked down the door, gaining the thug's attention. "So much for not hitting people tonight." "Oh, well!" Raph retorted as he loved it when Master Blue gets like this in a fight! The five others rush to Blue's side before dropping into a fighting stance.

"All right, let him go… you don't want any trouble." We, on the other hand, do!" "Whoa, those guys were serious! There really are giant turtles and medieval knights!" "But only two of the latter." The thug with the mustache and sledgehammer retorted as Blue told them that two was enough to paint this restaurant red while brandishing his halberd before Black intervened. "Bestill yourself, Blue. We mustn't kill out of hatred." He reminded him as his friend calmed down before he thanked him. "Guys, them knowing about us is bad." Donnie informed them as they were brought back to reality. "Whatever you are, this neighborhood is ours. So why don't you slither back to the ocean you came from?" The guy with the goatee and tattoos said, making Black snap. "I will chew off your flesh and gnaw on your bones!" He told them with a threatening growl after ripping off his helmet to show his anger-contorted face! "AH! Ge-get em!" The previous guy ordered stammerly as the mustache guy jumped off the counter to try and crush Leo's head but he stepped away while letting Mikey kick him into a wall. Now angry, he then tried to attack him until Raph got in the way and broke his nose with one finger! Meanwhile, Master Blue and Donnie were fighting the biggest of the gang while Michelangelo's attention was drawn to a bowl of ramen. The guy threw a punch but the fist was caught and split in two by the axe of Blue's polearm, asking him scream in pain until Donatello punched him in the gut, knocking the wind out of him as Blue dislodged the axe out of his hand and let him fall down.

With April, she was looking for the owner until she saw him on the floor, out cold until she gently shook him awake. She peaked her head up to see the situation and saw the mustache guy getting up and was about to drop the hammer onto Mikey's head, who was about to have a taste of the bowl of ramen. She thought quietly and picked up a lid and threw it at the guys, knocking him down and caught Mickey's attention as he thanked her. She then proceeded to get Mr. Murakami out of the building.

Meanwhile, Master Black was backing the leader into a corner. He waited for the guy to make his move until he tried to strike him with a clever. The centurion knocked the weapon out of his hand before punching his face twice and threw him to a wall, where he grabbed the guy by the vest and pulled out his Gladius, aiming for his windpipe! It was in that moment, Leonardo saw the fear in his eyes as he grabbed the master's arm before shaking his head while Black saw this and sighed. He then lodged the blade into the wall, right next to his neck before telling him to never come back! The guy nodded before gathering his gang and leaving, but not before saying this isn't over. "Thanks, Leo, for the wake up call." Black said, now sitting on the counter as Leo told him that he thought he wasn't in the right mindset at the moment. " "The right mindset"!? What the hell were you thinking?!" Raph asked in anger at what they did. "They weren't exactly a 'threat'! They had enough of a beating." "Maybe if they were like SpiderBytes before he got mutated, but they were obviously street-trained and were beating up a blind guy! Now they'll think we're wimps who don't have the guts to finish the job!" He told him, making his brother second-guess his decision until Master Black chimed in. "Listen! If he hadn't stopped me, I would have killed the guy and trust me, you wouldn't want to see someone choking on their own blood! Hearing that horrible gurgling while life leaves their eyes slowly!" He told him which made him start regretting what he said until April came back in with Murakami. "That was great, you guys!" She said in excitement as Donnie asked if she saw him flip the 'one guy' onto the counter. To which, she said yes with shifty eyes. "You didn't see it did you?" "No I did not-Ow!" She was then hit on top of her head by the shaft of Blue's polearm. He then told her that it's better to tell the truth before a lie spirals out of control. "My friends, I am indebted to you. Please, allow me to make you a meal, free of charge." He asked as Raph said they could allow that until Black said they won't and pulled a bag full of old dollar coins. "We'll pay in full. Now, what can you cook?" "What is your favorite dish?" The owner asked, seeing the centurion's question as a possible challenge. The Turtles all knew exactly what to say and they answered with one word, 'Pizza'!

After some expert and quick cooking, Mutakami had finished their food. Ten dumplings with a cup of sauce. "Pizzagyoza!" "Italian food made into the style of Japanese cuisine? Interesting." Blue said before he and the others (minus April) picked one up with their chopsticks and when they ate them, they were amazed at the taste! "It's like I got a one-way ticket to flavorville!" "It's like being hit in the face with a pizza, but in the size of a small ball!" Black stated as he took another one. "This is really good too, you know." April told them holding up a bowl of ramen as Blue then asked if she was implying that mixing two cultures of foods is taboo? "What? No." "Good." With that, Leonardo then asked Murakami if the Purple Dragons were coming around a lot. "Yes. They demand protection money but this time, I refused to pay. They will surely return." He explained with despair in his voice. "Well they wouldn't if somebody hadn't wimped out!" Raph said harshly when suddenly they all heard a loud bang coming from Black! "That's it, if you want to track them down and kill them so badly then fine! But be warned, that road will be a dark and slippery one when you start with, for you, no chance for return! Just like the party of the Ferrer expedition." He told him as he approached him with ever-growing anger and frustration on his face until he swiped the Gyoza from his successor. "You can consider this punishment for your barbaric behavior." He told him before walking back to his seat, leaving an upset Raphael behind.

(The Lair)

The guys were now in the living room and while most of them were relaxing, Leo was beating up a dummy that had numerous weapons sticking out of it. "Whoa, whoa, Leo. Well, I think he's had enough. You better let him go!" Raph told him mockingly as Leo knew why he was doing this. "I get it! You're making fun of me for not letting Master Black murder a helpless man!" "Yes I am. Because you showed weakness and made him do the same. Those guys only understand one language." Raph told him while poking his brother's chest during the last bit when Mikey jokingly asked if it was Chinese. Raph then jumped over to him and told him it was fists while grabbing his shoulder and brought up a fist to emphasize his point until he asked him another question. "What about feet?" "They understand feet." Raph said as he backed off, feeling that the point he was making wasn't getting through. "That would make them bilingual." Donnie informed him as Raph snapped and yelled that they can't go soft until Splinter and Master Red walked into the room, hearing his words. "To show mercy is not 'soft'. It is a sign of true strength." "But, Sensei. They're criminals. This is war!" "A daiymo of the 16th century once said. "In times of peace, never forget the possibility of war. In times of war, never forget compassion." He lectured, clenching his fist and then relaxed it to emphasize his point. Raph then muttered that the guy must have lost a lot of wars when suddenly Splinter's cane was inches away from his face, making him jump! "If that didn't get through your skull then this will! In nature, it is not the weak that die first, but the stupid! "It doesn't matter how strong you are, if you act recklessly in your actions." The daughter of a ruthless warmonger said that as she believed that people stayed true to who they are through conflict and combat until her army started infighting!" "Ok, but the Purple Dragons aren't gonna leave Murakami alone." "Then make sure they do. The same warmonger once said. "With a rebellion, you must stamp them out and make them yield! Do nothing or kill them all, and nothing will be the same." Red told him before Leo said they could track them down and make sure they get it and perhaps, in a way, make them work for them. "The masters will gather some info, but nothing more. You're on your own afterwards." The knight told them before walking off to gather the others.

(Surface)

On an almost empty street, Masters Green and Pink approached a man sweeping in front of his store. "We're looking for the Purple Dragons." "I don't know what you're talking about." The man claimed before Pink told him they wanted to teach them a lesson they won't forget as she pulled out her arming sword and dagger while her partner pulled out a shield and flail before she cracked her neck. "Oh, I see." He then smiled, believing that the Purple Dragons had terrorized honest businesses like his for too long.

"Master Pink said this was the place." Leo told his brothers, April, and Tyramigo as they stood above an old tattoo parlor while they were in either Ryusoulger or robot form. "Oh! Can we get tattoos? I want to get one of my face on my face. It'll be like I'm wearing a mask and the mask is me!" Mikey said excitedly while the others looked at him funny like. "You know they use needles for that, right?" "Game time." Tyramigo whispered, alerting them to a Purple Dragon thug leaving the building. They followed him until they reached a fortune cookie factory.

Inside, the guy walked up to Xever and Gaisoulg before telling them his gang saw the Turtles while his crew was playing Mah-jongg. "We'll tell you where for a price." "You will get paid in due time." The knight told him when suddenly, the Ryusoulgers crashed through a window, in their ArmorSoul forms! Red armor plating with a Greatsword for Leo, blue armor with a forearm-attached sword and shield for Donnie, a pink breastplate with a large cinder block-shaped flail on April's person, Green wrist and calf Blades on Mickey's limbs, and black spikes covering Raph's body but not enough to hinder his body too much! "Freeze, dirtbags!" Leo ordered until he saw Gaisoulg and Xever walk closer while the former belittled the thug for leading them to their hideout! "Gaisoulg! (Michelangelo:And that other guy!) We meet again." "The name is Xever. So you don't forget, I'll write it on your shells… with these!" Xever introduced himself as he twirled his butterfly knives before Gaisoulg then told Leo that, knowing this or not, they had been locked in combat!

(Flashback, 65 Million years ago)

(Ever since that asteroid crashed, your predecessor and I had been eternal enemies! And everytime we had our final duel, you always came out the victor!)

As the meteor fell down to earth, Gaisoulg was clashing blades with Ryusoul Red with the MeraMeraSoul armor on and was losing before fast forwarding to the time of the 300, where another Ryusoul Red, this time in a heavily armored suit, was limping away from a downed Gaisoulg before succumbing to his injuries from the mix of the knights slashes and arrows from the Persians!

(Even with those, who I manipulated, you stood triumphant over me!)

and finally, Master Red stood over Gaisoulg, roaring into the sky as he and an army behind him started to celebrate their victory against the knight and the army of knights with horns!

(Present day)

"And the only thingkeeping me going, is my intense hatred for you!" He finished before Wiserue appeared next to him and Xever and injected a serum into their necks. The knight then drew his sword from his shield! "En Garde!" He shouted as they all charged at each other! April decided to take on the Dragons as they were an easier target while the others took on Xever and Gaisoulg!

The purple knight was easily parrying and/or dancing around Leo's attacks as he told him that the psychic formula was enhanced by Dr. Falco and the tech that was given to him by both the Foot and the Druidons before he kicked him into a pile of crates! Leo rolled away at the last minute as Gaisoulg slammed his shield into the spot he was at before Donnie attacked him from the side, but he predicted this and sidestepped before punching him with his shield as it clashed with Donatello's! He then saw Leo's sword coming down on him and he acted accordingly by blocking it with his sword, unaware that he just played himself for a second. Leo tried to stomp on his leg but Gaisoulg retracted it before tripping him up and kicking Donnie away.

With Raph and Mikey, they're attacks were being snaked around by Xever as he knicks their armors, leaving scratches while delivering precision kicks and punches to their vital points! "Not so tough now that I can read you like a book, huh?" Xever mocked them before tripping them up with their own momentum and threw them over the railing one at a time, landing on a machine!

April, despite her training and superior armor, was having trouble hitting the Purple Dragons as she had no training with a mace. She was able to get some crushing blows in but that was all she was able to do when suddenly, Tyramigo busted through the ceiling and used his fire to block the thugs path before April and regrouping to Leo and Donnie, who were backed into a corner.

It was then that Drunn soldiers crashed into the building with their weapons trained on them all! "KNIGHTS, FALL BACK!" "We're giving up? Again!?" "This is the only time we are giving up, Raph! NOW MOVE!" Leo repeated while the miniaturized Kishiryu started laying down some suppressive fire while he and the others started to disengage and retreat from the building by jumping out of a broken window! "HEY! Stay and fight, you cold-blooded cowards!" "Ease the bloodlust, Brazillion! I waited millennia at a time for my shots at revenge, I can wait another day." The knight told him before leaving for the Foot hideout to report to Falco and Stockman about the results. After he left, Xever became angry at the Turtles for running away, believing that it was starting to get good!

(The Lair)

Back home, the team was licking their wounds while Raph rhetorically asked if that fight could have been more embarrassing when Mickey said they could have been hit in the face with pies. "That actually would have done it." "It's called fighting smart, Raph! Gaisoulg now has the Purple Dragons, Xever, no doubt Bradford, and Dr. Falco on his side now! Last time we fought him, he called it a draw!" "Because he wants a fair fight while his subordinates are willing to fight to the finish. The only way to beat them is to be just as ruthless as they are!" "RAPHAEL!" Black yelled out, catching their attention to him. "Xever may be dangerous but his underhanded tactics make him weak!" He told him angrily as he approached them. "But Xever wins fights. Isn't that what matters?" "THE DUMB DIE FIRST, RAPH AND NO ONE LESS! If you can't understand that then maybe you don't deserve to be either a ninja or a knight. Listen here and listen good! You WILL stay off that dark path! You WILL stay ON THE PATH you are given or I'll give your Ryusoul Changer to someone more DESERVING!! GOT IT!?!?" The centurion yelled at him with sheer fury and anger, making Raph back down and nod and said yes submissively, now afraid of him. After he left the room,Leo's TPhone started ringing. He reached his hip to grab it and answer the call as April's voice came from the other line."Guys, we got a problem! I was checking up on Mr.Murakami when I saw his place empty!" She told them destressly, changing the mood of the room and concerning everyone present!

(Murakami's)

The Turtles had arrived to see the place was ransacked with chairs, pots, and lids on the floor. "Someone took him and left this." She told them as she pointed to a note stabbed into a wall by a butterfly knife! "Sweet! Free knife." "The note, dummy." Donnie pointed out before he took the note and carefully removed it before reading it. "No more running. If you want the old man,meet us on the roof of the fortune cookie factory." "Well, what're we waiting for? Let's bust in there and save Murakami!" Raph stated before Leo told him to stop and think. "There's two words that don't usually go together." Donnie said humorously before their brother continued on to say that this is a trap and that he had an idea. "Well, what is it?" "I think we do need to be more like Xever. Just enough to work." "But Master Splinter and Red both said-." "I know! But Xever crossed the line dragging Murakami into this. We need to show him that we can cross the line too! Tonight, we bring out Mr. Bad turtle." "Yes! I've always wanted to see Mr. Bad turtle!" Raph said in delight while cracking his knuckles.

Later, the Turtles were watching out for Chris Bradford while Leo reminded them that he was strong so they needed to be fast and quiet. "Okay, everybody knows the plan? Mikey?" "Yes." "Are you sure you know the plan?" "Yes!" "Tell me what it is." Leo asked him, giving Mikey a minute to think about it before he then asked sheepishly if they can go over it one last time.

After a reminder of the plan, they hear Bradford walking out of his dojo. As he was locking the door, he sensed someone behind him and turned to see Raph! The martial artist was ready to fight him until Leo and Mikey jumped him and proceeded to tie him up while Donnie duct taped his mouth to keep him from calling for help. And finally to wrap it up, they put him in a trash can before fortifying it was chains and a lock. "Gentlemen, welcome to the other side of the line." "Now I'm definitely gonna need a tat." Mikey said before Raph punched him in the shoulder. The two then picked the can up with some minor difficulties. They then decided to roll him all the way to the factory. "Cozy in there?" Leo asked rhetorically as they heard his muffled voice.

They made it to the factory, where they see Xever and the Purple Dragons dangling Mr. Murakami by a rope over the ledge. "We're here, Xever. Now let the noodle man go!" "Sorry, change of plans." Xever told them as dozens of foot ninjas appeared with weapons at the ready! "Don't worry, there's actually been another change of plans." Leo told him smugly as Raph and Mikey unchained Bradford and showed him to them. "You let Murakami go, we'll let your friend go as well!" "Haha, he's not my friend." Xever told them, causing them to look at the captive with a deadpan look. He then walked over to the blind cook and started to slowly cut the rope. "That's enough, man! Stop or Bradford falls to his death!" Raph told him while dangling Bradford's top half over the ledge. "Go ahead. It'll save me the troub-." He was interrupted by a mace to the chin as he was sent flying onto the roof floor! "What the…?!" He then saw the Ryusoulgers appear with Murakami in tow! "But how? You were standing over… what?" He paused in confusion as the Turtles holding Bradford hostage disappeared in an orange haze! He realized he was duped! "We used a special Ryusoul key to clone ourselves!" Leo told them, remembering how it went down.

(Flashback, one hour ago back at Murakami's)

"FueSoul!" Leo had closed the mouth of his sword and suddenly, he and his brothers briefly glowed orange until a duplicate of each of them split off from them. "Woah! That's awesome." The two Mikeys said to each other as they started jacking funny faces at one another. "So what is this exactly?" "This is an insurance encase Xever tries to double cross us or if the 'plan' falls apart." Leo told Raph as he then told him that while the clones deal with Bradford, they'll stage an ambush and save Murakami as soon as things go south. "I kinda like it." Raph approved as they all left for the factory.

(Present time)

"Attack!" Xever ordered the ninjas as the two groups attacked one another! Safe to say that the Ryusoulgers were winning by dividing themselves up so they could pick off a small part of the collective swarm. The Brazilian decided to take out the weakest of the five and threw some kunais at April! Before they could make contact however, Donnie jumped in and blocked them all with his shield! He mentally cursed himself as more ninjas attacked the two! During the fight, Chris noticed the knives lying about and proceeded to scuttle towards one.

With Leo, he was destroying the enemies swords left and right while the leader of the Purple Dragons started to wonder if he should get involved. He eventually worked up the nerve and charged at Leo with a clever, only to be knocked down while Leo pointed his sword at him briefly before returning to the fight! With Raph, he was mocking Xever while countering his kicks, asking if he did have any of that nureol chemical stuff from earlier before delivering a nasty punch to the gut that sends him tumbling backwards! He was about to re-engage when the freed Bradford grabbed him. "We're outmatched! We have to retreat!" "I will not run like some coward!" He told the martial artist before running back into the fray, leaving an annoyed Bradford behind.

With the numbers now thinned, the Ryusoulgers then proceeded with their final attack! "Sore. Sore! Sore!! Sore!!! SONO CHŌSHI!!!!" "Five Knight Slash!" They unleashed a joint wave of energy that forced the remaining ninjas to jump away and almost hit Xever and Bradford until Pricious appeared in front of them and cancelled out the attack before turning to them. "Gaisoulg and Shredder want you back at base, now!" He told the two before launching two discs made of energy from his shoulders as they flew not to the Ryusoulgers, but Murakami, who was hiding under the billboard! They almost hit him when a Purple Dragon thug pushed him out of the way, letting the discs fly off and explode harmlessly! While the knights attention was drawn to the attack, the remaining foot left swiftly before they could stop them.

"Are you ok, Murakami-San?" "Yes. I am fine." He told Mikey as he got back up and thanked the guy who saved his life. "Whatevs." He said before walking away while Leo smiled under his helmet.

(Murakami's)

"Accept this token of my gratitude. Pizzagyoza." The owner said humbly while holding out a bag of freshly made food to them as happily accepted and thanked him. "Your welcome, Turtle-Knight-Sans!" "Wait, how did you know we were both?" "I do have other senses. Touch, hear, smell." He told them as they looked amongst themselves before Leo looked to Murakami and asked if he thought they looked weird or scary. "You saved my life! Who am I to complain?" He told them before Mikey then came up to him and gave him a warm hug.

(The Lair)

Everyone was in the living room as Master Red was chewing Leo out for even considering using an underhanded tactic like the one he used earlier before telling that, despite that, he is proud of him for helping someone see the path of good while Donnie tried to get April to eat a Pizzagyoza. "Just try one. Sometimes things that don't seem to go together, actually make a great couple-I mean food!" "In other words, stop being a baby! It's not poisoned." Pink told her as her apprentice finally gave in and tried one. "Whoa! These are amazing!" April said before grabbing the bowl that had three of them from Donnie's lap and started scarfing them down! "One all showed your strengths today." "Yeah but that hot head-looking guy took the attack like it was nothing." Raph retorted as Master Black chimed in. "That's because, Pricious is one of the strongest generals of the Druidon Tribe. It would stand to reason that you'd have to defeat Gaisoulg and the Shredder if you want to stand a chance against even him, that means gaining dependable allies. Which reminds me, did you learn your lesson, Raphael?" He asked smugly. "You were right. Being ruthless and underhanded won't make us stronger, only hard work, discipline, and showing mercy." Raph said before muttering That he'll show mercy when he feels it's needed, causing his master to laugh.

(Foot Clan HQ)

Bradford, Xever, Dr. Falco, and Stockman were currently bowing to the Shredder. "This is unacceptable." "Humble apologies, Master Shredder." "I swear, next time, we will-!" "Enough! Dr. Falco, Baxter Stockman, are the suits ready?" "Yes, Master Shredder. They will give whoever wears them, double their current strength." Stockman explained as the leader got up and warned his student and the thief that he will have to take matters into his own hands if they fail one more time before walking past them.

Note:This was April's official debut as Ryusoul Pink! What do you think? I also hope you liked the fight between the Shredder & Gaisoulg and the backstory for a rivalry for him and Ryusoul Red, taking place in multiple different timelines and places! I'll be honest, this was one of my least favorite episodes in the show for season 1 with the number 1 & 2 being later down the road. And for now, Druidons like Pricious will be taking a support role until the Turtles start unlocking the Super Ryusouls!
