Now, cue the opening song…which you'll have to look up on YouTube because there's no real lyrics.

|Downtown, The Core|
Playing tour guide was something Maylene could do at the very least. Though she wished when they entered Sector V, they weren't swarmed by Midoriya fangirls in the KND. They kept trying to justify stopping Taeko to get to Midoriya. Maylene had to tell him to floor it out of there which led to Downtown. She couldn't exactly tour guide the imports around in her school clothes which brought around to the apartment building Saki dwelled in.
"What the hell is with this place? Looks like shit." Yu said insensitively.
Maylene clearly wanted to punch Yu for that, but Mineta did the simple enough. Use his powers to will Nemuri to knee Yu between the legs.
"I love these powers." Mineta said wistfully.
"Damn it, Mineta! Not cool!" Yu said wincing.
"Ugh, just wait here while I go get changed." Maylene said jumping her up the stairs unlike a normal person.
"So…Kaze? What's it like being a tenth level warper?" Mina asked curiously.
"I actually only become one recently. I'm still getting used it to it…it's like I have no limit, yet I do. It's walking on air all the time." Kaze said looking at the surging warper flame he formed in his hand. "So much endless potential."
"Mind if I absorb that? I don't want to impose on you, but your flames are the purest kind." Todoroki said trying not to make it sound weird.
Kaze simply tossed it over and the ice and fire user got a short high from absorbing it. His eyes went wide and it was pure euphoria for a few moments.
"Could I have some of those flames too?" Yu asked sweetly getting too close to him.
WHAM! Carol had punched the heroine into the wall ending up with her out cold and slumped on the ground. Maylene came out in different clothes and a holster for a weapon before seeing Yu out cold.
"Do I even need to ask?" Maylene said zipping her black track jacket.
"No. We'll just put her in the car." Momo said politely doing so.
"Well then, let the tour began." Kaze said as they all took off.

|In Space|
A saiyan pod jettisoned through the stars baring the symbol of everyone's villainous Blackthorn, Joshinari. Inside, he was in the midst of catching up with his wife.
"Lady Dominator, darling. How's progress on monitoring the League of Villains?" Joshinari asked.
"Well enough. We have profiles on them on how to deal with them. I assume you'll be axing One For All and taking his quirk." Delia asked.
"No, I don't want it. But I do know what to do with it." Joshinari remarked coldly. "For it will be a blessing and a curse."
"And what about the Metsu Emeralds?" Delia remarked.
"Yes, I've grown aware that the Metsu Emeralds are out of my reach…due to my cousins. At the very least, six out of the reach of Pinkie and anyone else is fine. However, with the last one in the hands of those guitar playing loons. Tempting as it is, if I attack them for it, I'll expose all of us being in this system." Joshinari said with a bitter sigh. "Better we focus on the lost 3 Metsu Blades."
"Actually, I have some good news. Keitaro did a bit of digging and apparently there's another set of Emeralds. Remember the Sol Emeralds?" Delia teased.
"Metsu Sol Emeralds? Is the Order aware of this?!" Joshinari asked.
"No, not at the moment. Unlike the others, these were sealed away. Keitaro managed to find this out thanks to 10Chan. Mostly rumors, but Keitaro did some research and realized some TenChan dumbass accidently uncovered it. It'll take him all summer to pinpoint it, but we'll get there." Delia explained.
"Fine with me. All that matters is that no one finds out about this until it's too late for anyone to stop us." Joshinari remarked. "Pinkamena is still reeling from anal cancer and I want to take advantage."
"By the way…I have a surprise for you. Don't ask what…you'll see it when you return to me." Delia said. "Oh, and one last thing, we're hiding out someplace new. There are actual Naruto-styled ninja villages hidden through Japan and China. We ended up taking over one. The Hidden Ghetto Village."
Joshinari had the look of complete disbelief and Delia explained that she was what it was literally called. Joshinari bet his wife goodbye and hung up before breaking down in laughter.
"The Hidden GHETTO village?!" Joshinari said howling with laughter.

|Bayview, Delmarva Peninsula|
With the tour of the Core complete, the next location was Bayview. Maylene was new to this place as well, but Izuku really wanted to see the new hometown of the legendary "Gemslayer Black". Of course, the gang were all at a garage.
"Thanks for the repaint of my car, Proof." Kaze said kindly shaking his hand.
Kaze's car now had a jet black coloring with purple streaks.
"Please. Proof was my old fighting name. It's Erick." Erick said with a smirk. "I should be talking you for getting me some high-paying customers."
Erick's wife, Angel, and fellow mechanic, T'ai-Monquie come out of the garage with Nemuri and Yu with big grins.
"Allow us to present their new wheels." Angel said the imports and Maylene rolled out in their new vehicles.
[Cues: Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition Soundtrack - Loading Music #1]
Maylene upgraded to a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C6) having had her old hovercar merged with it giving the Mechomorph patterning, kit, metallic rims, and she had a Specter spoiler set on the back.
Izuku was feeling powerful in his new wheels. A brand smacking new green Porsche 918 Spyder with his emblem emblazoned on the front of it, spinning rims, and a Viper spoiler. The interior was red leather and he was melting in the seat.
"Totally worth spending the million." Izuku said with a chuckle.
His fan wanted him to spend the money they threw at him? Why not on something awesome!
Shoto had chosen the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T having it painted half icy blue and half red with white stripes down the middle. Of course, this was all on his dad's dime and he spared no expense on the interior.
However, it surprised all that Mineta went all out and got a 2012 Telsa Roadster 2.5 Sport. It didn't surprise them that he painted it purple and had a racy picture of Midnight and Mt. Lady in bikinis on the hood. Even had a similar spoiler to Izuku's with spinning rims of his own.
Ochako had chosen a ritzy 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z (Z33) painted pale pink with black bubbles on the sides, black painted rims, and a black Impact spoiler. Izuku was more than ok than chipping in for it.
Mina had followed Maylene in her selection in a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C6) and drooling over being behind the wheel. It was painted with the same pattern as her hero clothes with a Dynamo spoiler. Like Izuku, a good chunk of cash went to the interior design.
Lastly, Momo had come out in a Lamborghini Reventón Roadster painted scarlet with an eastern dragon painted on the sides and gold-colored rims. She had the hood and spoiler give off a carbon feel.
"Ok, we need to test these things." Mina said revving their engines.
"I'm game. Last one to Original Country pays for lunch." Kaze said as he and Carol dove into their car.
"I'll have to meet up with you guys later. I need to meet up with my folks at the new place." Maylene said taking off in another direction.
Nemuri and Yu were stuck riding with Mineta much to their chagrin as everyone wheeled into the road.
"Careful racing outside of Bayview. The cops will give you a chase." Erick warned.
"We'll just have to be faster than them then!" Izuku said as everyone revved.
"Ready. Set. Go!" Angel yelled.
[Cues: Heaven's Basement – I Am Electric]
Bursts of flames came out of the exhaust pipes as they took off down the road blowing dust and trash in the face of a shirtless jogger who was listening to an electric tune on his headphones. Said jogger coughed at the smoke before Ta'i-Monqiue gave him a towel to wipe his face.
"Sorry about it. Surprised to see you out and about, Ryker." She said.
The Blackthorn of the Crystal Squadron had only recently started jogging to keep himself nimble. He had wiped his face off before handing it back to her. At the moment, he was just in his gi except having the top part of it tied around his waist.
"Just getting myself up and at 'em. By the way, did my package came in?" Ryker asked.
"Surprise you're not ordering it through your garage?" Erick said getting a capsule case out of his pocket.
Ryker had a stake in one of the more recent garages, Space Train Garage and Car Wash, under Pearl and Greg.
"I would, but Pearl and Greg don't have the connections to car dealers across the 'verse yet and are still getting stock. Gearld did say it would take some time. So, I had to put the order in." Ryker remarked nonchalantly.
"Still, why do you even both with another car when you got the Agera?" Angel asked innocently. "Or Pearl having her Spyder?"
"Angel, it is within a street racer's best interest to have a few cars under his belt. Even though we don't really race for slips, in case of damage. And some races have class restrictions." T'ai explained.
"Ok, I have yours and Pearl's order. One stock 2007 Nissan 370Z for you and a Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 for Pearl with adjusted steering. Sign here." Erick said producing the page on his tablet for Ryker to sign.
Using his finger, Ryker signed, and the capsules were beamed into his BlackTab.
"Pleasure doing business." Erick said as Ryker waved goodbye.
He slipped his headphones back on and ran off.
"To think, he's considered the dreaded among warpers." Angel said as T'ai snarked, "Angel, it's always the nice ones you have to beware at times."
Ryker moved along at an even pace nearing the beach and zipping past a beachgoer and her van.
[Music Ends]
"Wait, was that Anya from Anya's Ghost?" Ryker thought before getting interrupted by a phone call from Pearl.
As Ryker took it, said beachgoer on a beach chair removed her shades to gaze at Ryker.
"So, that's Ryker, the tenther everyone talks about it. He's hunky." Anya said eyeing him up.
Out of the back doors of the van came Siobhan who smacked her over the head.
"And he's married. So don't….besides I'd rather not to bury you and tell Siobhan that you were murdered by his wife." Siobhan said. "I'd rather have him train us to fight instead. Regardless, we've spent enough time lounging. We need to get our cars out and get some racing done for some mod parts."
For those who couldn't afford a complete customization on their wheels, there were races held which offered modifications like nitrous and so on as prizes. Anya was lucky she had "convinced" one of the men at a garage to get her and Siobhan decent cars to start with considered they had put money down towards a van to live in.
"Lucky he was willing to trade an autographed photo of you in that bandeau bikini." Siobhan said groaning at the memory. "So come on, let's go."
Anya got up and got into the van slipping a pair of jeans over her bottoms. For a top, she settled for a small open jacket before getting her capsule for her car. She also stored away the beach chair and worn umbrella. Siobhan got hers and her black leather jacket on before returning the van to a capsule to pocket it. With the van safe, they released their recently obtained wheels. Anya had gotten a red Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 with gold racing stripes, while Siobhan had obtained a Gen 5 Ford Mustang Boss 302 having it colored grey with its base black lining.
"Let's try to win us some nitrous or at least a reinforced chassis." Siobhan said getting on and starting the engine.
"I just hope my brother's all right." Anya thought before saying, "Yeah sure."
She started hers up and the two took off for the Arena, but this time Ryker was smart enough to dodge the dust and sand. He finished his jog and headed home to find the gang all there waiting. Well except for Steven, Connie, Onion, Aiko, and Priyanka. Priyanka had to leave for the Core to take courses in medical school given she could only doctor on humanoids, the kids were at the academy, and Aiko had also left to get back into teaching. Lars and his crew weren't around either being they headed back to space.
"Here's your new wheels." Ryker said tossing her the capsule. "Now we just have put the work in."
"Already ordered a few things for that." Tsubasa remarked. "But are you going to do something about Pink?"
Pink Diamond was still on their couch watching TV in a bathrobe while drinking a bottle of wine. Ryker walked over and took the bottle and turned off the television to get her attention.
"Ahem. I thought I told you that we all had to get jobs." Ryker said crossing his arms.
"I hate to say it, but my reputation and being a Diamond pretty much shits on my chances." Pink said stressed out and pointing to her rejection letters.
Blue and Yellow Diamond were cleaning the place holding some pity for Pink. Mostly Blue was. Yellow wanted to see Ryker up and deck the lazy twat.
"Pearl, Greg, can't she work with you guys?" Ryker asked.
"No. Never happening." Greg said sternly.
"Amethyst spends her mornings sleeping around and you don't give her shit." Pink said pointing to the sleeping purple gem.
"She works nights. Considering that I sometimes join her, I can attest to that. Underground fighting ain't no tickle fight." Ryker remarked.
With them in a new world, especially a warper-filled one, the gang did have to get work to add more funds. Pearl (in addition to be a street racer) and Greg had started their garage, Tsubasa was assisting with said garage and becoming a racer himself, Sour Cream had become a freelance DJ and music producer with Vidalia assisting, Amethyst was a circuit fighter for the Def Jam League, Jasper and Garnet started Sharp Stones, Peridot and Lapis had restarted Gemini Industries helping with Jasper and Garnet's gym, and Bismuth did weapon building and maintenance by taking housecalls. As for Lars and his crew, they were pirates of the stars hunting treasure and raiding criminal ships. So, everyone wasn't happy that Pink was a drain on expenses. Ryker didn't really have a job but assisted with everyone else's along with racing on occasion.
"I have an idea. Let's use Blue and Yellow Diamond for profit." Pink suggested.
Blue and Yellow Diamond froze at this.
"And do what?" Ryker asked.
"Pimp them out. People will pay a ton to lay with a Diamond." Pink remarked. "We could make tons off of this."
"A bordello? Are you kidding me? That's…actually not a terrible idea, but we need a place to do it." Ryker remarked as everyone was surprised he was entertaining the idea.
"The barn? Thankfully, we got the warp pads on this world and the barn was carried over. We can store the Diamonds and a few others there. I can run it." Pink remarked.
"Absolutely not. You can't run your empire much less be charge of a business. We will take your idea because it's not a terrible one. All those in favor of whoring out Blue and Yellow?" Peridot said as all hands were raised. "Well, it's decided."
"Don't we get a say in this?!" Yellow Diamond asked.
Pearl backhanded her saying she should be thankful she is not shattered and in the gutter.
"Due to this idea, I'll let your lack of job go for now. But you're not staying here lounging about. At least, get yourself a car and go race or something." Ryker remarked worriedly.
"Thanks for the concern. Look, I'm sorry for being a bit of a drain. Just…all those rejection letters took a toll on me. Everyone just hates my guts and it's just a struggle to try and redeem myself." Pink said bitterly. "Excuse me."
She scurried off to her room leaving the group in awkward silence before Garnet cleared her throat.
"Moving on, I have an announcement of my own." Garnet said taking off her shades and beaming. "Ryker…you're going to be a dad in a few more months."
"And so are you, Tsubasa." Pearl said as the men blinked.
"We're going to be grandparents, Sapphy!" Ruby said excitedly.
"Oh no…my mother is going to freak. She's always wanted grandkids." Ryker said numbly. "But that's I get for not using a condom. Still worth it."
"We should celebrate. Somebody wake up Amethyst, we're going out. My treat." Lapis said kindly.
As they left with Amethyst to celebrate, Maylene had arrived on the new home of the Shadow family.
[Cues: Layo – Ramen Beat]
The home itself was a rather nice ranch-styled two-story house with a small front yard and garage. She pulled up and got out noticing Saki's car in the driveway. She came up to the door and knocked which got Mandy to answer the door.
"Welcome home." She said with a small smile. "Your room's upstairs on the right."
"Thanks mom." Maylene said walking in.
She noticed that her father was sitting on the kitchen table looking concerned at the letter he had in his hand.
"Father, is something wrong?" Maylene asked concerned.
"Yes, apparently I have a son!" Saki said angrily. "Some warper fuck siphoned my DNA before my powers awakened. Apparently, my DNA was used to help a dying woman conceive. Even used the same name. Only reason I didn't find out sooner was because of the damn war."
"What happened to your son?" Maylene asked.
"Worked under the Order and was dating one of the heads. Ended up nearly killed and ended up merging with the body of a Naruto or something." Mandy said waving it off.
"Wait, the Geist Fox is…your son and my brother?" Maylene said dryly.
"I need a freaking drink…" Saki remarked.
(A/N: Yes, I'll be ending the first season with this two-parter wrapping all the loose ends and setting up next season. For those curious, Garnet and Pearl are at least one to two months along. As for the sudden rush to get to next season, I do need catch up to set up for the plot.)
