So this chapter is mostly just winding down and the characters analylizing what just happened. Fun fact this Halloween as I was giving out candy one trick or treater's costume was a red and orange trangle with a sign that said 'Al Pastor' and when I said 'I don't get it' I had explained to me it's a kind of pork for tacos

Doc's favorite little corner cafe was not the typical kind of food a lot of the International Boxers particurally those like Glass Joe and Don Flamenco but at the moment the food was only secondary the boxers wanted to quietly discuss what had just happened.

While the humans talked, Rover was actually quite hungry, so in typical wolf fashion he devoured his burger and fries.

Scruffles was too shaken by the event to have any appetite, all this time she had been attending Leo's martial arts classes, she thought it was quaint tradion but she had still been thinking she would never actually need to use any of the lessons she had been taught she really just went along with it because she saw it as a means to meet other Mutants her age...

Lovelace, who had seen similar unpleasant things before from her days as a lab animal was much calmer about the situation and offered to share her soda with Scruffles, the Mutant Snake had a much more traditionally reptilian metabolism than the Turtles, she had eaten a large meal of meat stew yesterday so today all she wanted was drinks to help aid in digestion...

So the three Mutants only heard the tale end of Von Kaiser's speculations that if what the Troubadour Wolf said was true about how these 'Wrangler Humans' lived than perhaps it was no wonder he believed what he believed having lived his entire life seeing humans who had, had their capacity for empathy removed...

As the other boxers gave murmurs of agreement, Glass Joe, after nibbling a French fry dipped in mayonnaise decided to bring up something, he had done instinctually from years of looking out for his little sister when they were young, Glass Joe kept noticing that the Wolf's eyes kept darting towards the two little mutant girls in a way he had been taught long ago to look out for...

Glass Joe cleared his throat "Excuse Moi..." He said "...But I kept watching that strange wolf and I noticed the entire time his gaze returned to the two little mutant girls, I knew that look was how you say in New York...Not kosher...I think the only reason he came in was because the girls did."

And with that any pity the boxers felt for the Wolf-Man did went out the window...Don Flamenco felt more than a little bit of shame that it was only Glass Joe to notice that because of the discussions Carmen had been having with him about starting a family...Because of Westen Culture's influence around the world all the Boxers at least knew the tale of Little Red Riding Hood but to both Von Kaiser and Glass Joe in particular since it was technically both a Germen and French tale since it was covered by both the Brothers Grimm and Perrault the image of the predatory wolf lurked deep in their minds

And that more or less concluded the report, Don looked at Leo and said

"Well..." The Purple banded Turtle said "...That sounds like the day had finished well...Overall."

"Yeah," Leo sighed as he massaged his temples "...But we still have no clue who that Wolf-Man was or why he was doing what he was doing, he was obviously targeting mutant girls the question is why? And are there anymore like him?"

Leo didn't know it, but the Boxers of the W.V.B.A. Were also asking that question, after seeing how much the Mutant Animals had been through, they wanted them to flourish and thrive, the Humanimals of this Older Earth seemed purely benevolent as they seemed to simply want to guide Third Earth to not make the same mistakes their own world did...But now there was a crack in the mask, they realized this older and more advanced civilazation was not only not telling them everything, now there was a danger they were being outright lied to! Everyone was at least familiar with Star Trek and it was becoming clear it was no picnic to be on the receiving end of Prime Directive and after what they had just heard about how the humans had been living they realized it was more than just their new Mutant Neighbors who were at stake, all of Third Earth could be in danger!

Two worlds collide
Rival nations
It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man?
Can any nation stand alone?

No longer mere boxers...These men were determined to investigate! With Von Kaiser being one with actual military experience leading the way.

"First and foremost we must learn..." Von Kaiser said as he paced back in forth in front of a chalkboard with the the other boxers sitting in the bleachers listening intently "...Who was that Wolf? We have seen in the past other Humanimals acting like Troubadours are they connected or was he acting alone? I think we have reason to believe there is at least a subset of the Humanimals whose intentions towards the Mutants are predatory at best and they outright resent their existance at worst! So we must find out who this group is, where do they come from and most importantly are these actions done with the approvel or at the very least knowladge or their Monarch?"

So admittatly while at first theei intentions of bringing on Mutants was at least a little self-serving and attempt to bring up ratings...The Boxers now were filled with concern to protect their new Mutant Neighbors from Poisonous Friends! They were on a mision to prove that the soil of the planet you are born on is more important than weather you have fur, feathers, scales or naked human skin!

So obviously a few lyrics from one of the Rocky movies which obviously had some influence on the Punch Out series, this story was mostly a means of setting up a story that will be put in the Punch Out section which will be much more adult because of the themes of Mutants being created specifically to be slaves similar to the Humanimals and dealing with mind control/hypnotism to try to create obdieant slaves
