So...I wanted to do the next chapter of the Punch Out story but I think I may be catching a cold and again, that chapter was gonna require a lot of concentration as it was a musical chapter so I'm gonna take it easy with this chapter the last chapter of talking on the Wrangler Cruise Ships before we move on to later days, also while I didn't feature any dialogue for the Mutant Cubs I realized I had a chance to show Sal talking with one of his co-workers showing he does no more than a lot of the other Aliens about the situation with Earth and the Humanimals, the problem was, who does he talk with? Didn't want to use Wanna B as he is the innocent 'Dopey-Like' sidekick and giving him a voice would take away from his totally innocent vibe, so I'm gonna use the Krok cuz in the Reading Galaxy game in the 'Beat the Krok' round if you don't complete the puzzle within the allotted time the 'Krok' Clock with gain a face and blow a raspberry at you
Donatello and Belladonna came back onto the ship where they found the other three Turtles talking with Arctica, the Arctic Wolf-Woman was sitting on a stool seeming to take it all in.
"Hey…" Don said as he came up to them "...Sorry for running out on you like that, I kind of panicking because my wife was over there listening and well I…" Arctica noticed Don was fiddling with his wedding ring, as soon as he was back on board on the way back to Earth Don was extremely anxious to get his wedding ring back on.
"It's OK…" Arctica said "...I understand, a lot can happen in just a few years…"
"After talking with Belladonna," Don said "We decided to take a moment to dream share so I could find those memories, and now I remember I dream shared with you long before I met Belladonna!"
"Your brothers were telling me about the things that happened after I went back to my home dimension…" Arctica said she no longer seemed like a giggly schoolgirl with a crush that was probably a big part of why Don panicked but now seemed like the mature young Wolf-Woman she was…Don could see that more than just her physical beauty she had regained the beauty in her character before she hit puberty and became overwhelmed by her Wolf Instincts…
"What did they tell you about?" Don asked
"Things like what happened aboard the Shredder's spaceship…" Arctica said "...And just hearing about it I was like..Geez! I mean the Wranglers are mean but their also REALLY dumb because of the brainwashing that gives them brain damage, once we Mizzerans got over the shock of being captured we can practically run circles around them! And upon my return I learned I could get some of the luxury I had been willing to betray my people for...Get a bite of the delicious human food I had been craving if I simply did my part and helped my fellow slaves rather than just constantly sulking by myself! But MAN...I can't imagine going against a foe whose both pure evil AND smart!"
"I want to continue to talk to you…" Don said "...I want catch up on all that happened since we parted, let's discuss when and where…"
Meanwhile in a TV Station floating in space, the popular game show host Sal of De Century was thinking about the contestant from Earth who had shown up and caused quite a stir with his performance!
One of his co-workers the 'Krok' of the Beat the Krok round dropped down from above, the mechanical creature's face appearing in that would otherwise be an ordinary digital clock.
"We got to talk about that contestant from Earth…" The Krok said "...I don't think it was legal to have him on…"
Sal remained quiet he knew what the Krok was going to say
"First of all...The Bio-Scanner told me he was way too young! Like REALLY young! Like what most life forms would still classify as a BABY young! You know we have rules about age limits! But more importantly that wasn't a...Natural born Earthling if you know what I mean even if most of our celebrity panelists can't tell the difference!"
"Not natural born?" Sal grinned slyly "Whatever do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb with me Sal!" The Krok hissed "You and I both know that the humans have made a slave race out of their planet's animals! That creature wasn't a human! And worse this is the second time a contestant from Earth, turned out to be one of their bio-modified animal slaves! At least this time the Earthling was a warm blooded creature like the humans, the first time it happened it was an insect! I was mortified with embarrassment that everyone was calling an insect a human! A creature that had more in common with most of the celebrity panelists than humans! How to these Slave Beasts keep finding the I.B.S. anyway?! Fortunately the Bug quit after he realized the first prize he was getting was junk!"
"Seems your research is a little out of date…" Sal said "I know that Earth the human home world recently had a...Civil rights movement for their animal slaves, on Earth their free citizens now, so we won't get in trouble for that...Other human colonized planets still have Humanimals as slaves I believe the humans are having a civil war over it, but not Earth itself, also I know he's under the age limit...But did you see how skilled he was? Most adults from other planets don't seem to know as much about their own planet's literature as this Beast-Child! He drove the crowd wild! So for the sake of the ratings we're going to let him return…"
"But Sal…" The Krok began to protest
"Besides…" Sal said turning away "...I got a funny feeling looking at him, call it...A hunch if you will...That this Child is such a prodigy for a very special reason...And I have a feeling that reason is going to lead to something I want...I just have to be patient…"
So just showing the host is more than the ordinary sleez he's even worse than that!
