So here we do adress the famous character quirk of the Riddler that if you watch all of Batman the Animated Series wasn't truly confirmed for this version of the character but since BTAS Riddler had so few outings that fans often suplement charcterazation from the comics to flesh him out a bit more (In BTAS almost no mention is made of his relationship with his parents it was only having his game stolen from his by his slimy boss that was the catalyst for becoming a Supervillain though come to think of it, Fans often use stuff from the comics for BTAS Scarecrow too, since while he had more episodes than Riddler there really is nothing about his past other than he liked scaring people as a child and it continued into adulthood) Anyway the whole 'Riddler can't tell a lie, he has to at least tell the truth in the form of a riddle' hasn't come up for the most part since he became a full-on good guy in these stories he mostly hasn't had a reason to lie but since he is having to decieve someone by going under cover this issue will be adressed in this chapter.

Two full lengh mirrors from the Passenger Cabins were brought out so both Donatello and Edward Nygma could see just how embarresing their disguises were.

As Don turned this way and that, seeing how he looked he heard Raph and Mikey chuckling as his brothers came over.

"At least you don't have to wear Guyliner like Nygma." Mikey snickered

"You know honestly," Don said "I think this outfit is really a bit of a blessing, it really hides the shape of my body, as you know we really don't look anything anything like Humanimal Turtles, the Humanimal Turtles don't have that exposed skin along their sides, I mean I do look different without my mask but if the Wranglers of Viola Strierra have become as paranoid about 'Animal Attacks' as Edward says then every little bit helps to make sure they don't recognize me."

Edward Nygma for his part was feeling a bit more humorous over his disguise as it did bring him back to his high school theater days.

But as he was admiring his reflection in the mirror he noticed someone coming up behind him, his son Edward Green, even now it still amazed the Older Edward how much his son took after his Mother's Side of the family but in the sparkle of his eyes which were blue unlike his own green ones, and in the wry expressions on his face he could see this Man was truly his son, and he had truly come to regret not being there for his son when he was a child, quite a good chunk of his Son's early childhood years were his Supervillain years.

"Dad..." The Younger Edward said seriously "...Before you do this, I just wanted to make sure you know you can handle it."

"What exactly are you getting at?" The Older Edward asked his black eye paint already making him look more snide and sarcastic than usual.

"You play innocent with Batman, you're not doing that with me!" Edward Green practaclly hissed "I'm talking about your well known little 'quirk' of how you can't tell a lie, that you have to at least reveal the truth in the form of a riddle!"

Edward Nygma quickly saw what his son meant and sighed "I have been thinking about it." He said said now instantly becoming humble as he had learned from his time with Humanimals "I have realized this is the first time in a long time I have really attempted to decieve since my Rogue years, even though I know I'm doing it for a righteous cause, that I'm breaking unjust rules and laws, a deception is still deception, however over the course of my life I have found ways around my little 'quirk' I can manage if I feel myself only telling what I feel is half a lie, if there is at least partial truth there my compulsion doesn't spring up, they way I see it, I am doing what I'm saying what I'm doing...I'm selling the Turtle to the Wranglers as they will give me money in exchange for him they just don't realize that the Turtle is actually a Trojan Horse."

"And you feel confident you won't feel the need to tell a riddle about that?"

"I've had my moments when I could manage more self control then others." Edward Nygma said "Also there was a special time and place where I could say nothing but untrue things it was during my high school theater days, I was able to play my role because I was able to compartmentalize playing my role in the play from telling a lie because I knew everyone knew I wasn't Puck, it was just a job I was doing so it is a combination of using the half-truth method and just...Thinking of this as an acting performance to help keep my riddle compulsion under control."

The vehichle was ready, a Small Space Cruiser that would be common for Slave Sellers, since Edward Nygma didn't exactly have any Spaceship Piloting skills, it would be set on Autopilot to head for the usual place of commerce.

As everyone watched the Spacecraft go, the Turtles all felt a sense of anxiousness unique from any they had felt before.

"Good luck Bro." Raph said quietly despite everything they had been through they all had a feeling that this would be nothing like anything they had faced before, Shredder and the Foot, the Triceratons they knew these foes were tough because like themselves they were fierclely disaplined warriors but these Wranglers were different, they were a five thousand year empire, that had lived like Decadant Pigs.

(Well at least that was the way for the common people and the Ellites gave the impression they were decadant pigs, but what they had heard from Edward had told them about his childhood as the Prince, was that underneaith the ostentatious clothes and the oppulant balls was a fierce training regimen and that actually ballroom dancing was part of the training)

The fear was that the Wranglers had weapons and powers that unfortunatly they never could have been trained for, something far more subtle than the brute force of those like the Shredder.

Hints that the Royal Family don't live by the same rules as the common humans aslo really like the idea that Edward Nygma played Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream
