Before long, a battle had begun between the group and the Jaw warriors.
"Goongala!" shouted Casey skidding between the warriors and hitting them with his bat.
He was about to switch weapons when…
"Hey, where's my stick?" asked Casey before seeing a nearby explosion.
Looking to the side, he saw the ongis with his field hockey stick and a pair of exploding pucks and as the smaller one placed the puck, the other two, with one climbing on the other, grabbed the field hockey stick with which they hit the puck, throwing it at a warrior who was knocked down by the blast.
The ongis high-fived at their feat before noticing a warrior lunging at them with his sword, but before he reached them, he was tasered and knocked down, courtesy of Casey and his taser.
Lifting his mask, he gave the ongis a smile.
"Nice shooting, pals." began Casey before handing them more explosive discs. "Keep it up, I'll take care of the rest." said Casey, getting a nod from the ongis. "Goongala!" shouted Casey as the ongis gave an animalistic yell before launching themselves into the battle.
April went about fighting several warriors with her ninja skills, taking down a few in the process.
It was then that she saw a group of warriors charging towards her, but she pulled out her tensen and threw it like a frisbee, cutting the warriors' weapons in the process before launching a psychic wave that knocked them down.
One warrior tried to attack her from behind, but a small stone hit him from behind and when he turned around, he was met by other stones that hit his eyes, making him scream in pain before another stone sent him crashing to the ground.
The cause of this was Noi with her slingshot who laughed at the warrior's situation.
Unfortunately, the warrior stood up and raised his weapon to attack the baby, who did not look nervous.
Suddenly, the warrior felt someone tapping him on the shoulder and as he turned his head, he received a punch from April that knocked him down.
Noi squealed in delight before climbing onto April's shoulder.
"Thanks for the help." began April with a smile as Noi responded with a couple of squeals. "Now, what do you say we continue?" asked April pulling out her tensen as Noi readied her slingshot.
Donnie used his staff both to block the warriors' attacks and to knock them down at the first opportunity.
It was then that he saw a couple of warriors charging towards him, but Donnie used his staff as a pole to fly towards them and kick them down.
Boun took advantage of his small size to avoid the warriors' attacks, but then, when one warrior tried to hit him with a pair of daggers, Boun pulled out his karambit knives and blocked the daggers with them before pushing the warrior away from him, which he used to kick him to knock him down.
Another warrior tried to attack him, but Boun dodged his attack with speed before standing behind him and giving him a blow to the head that knocked him down.
Soon after, another warrior with a sword lunged at him.
Boun tried to defend himself with his knives, but the force of the attack ended up knocking him to the ground.
Looking up, he saw the warrior with his sword up, but before he could bring it down, a staff hit him from the side and knocked him away courtesy of Donnie.
"You fight well, but you still have a lot to learn." said Donnie helping the boy up.
"Well, I still have plenty of time for that." said Boun.
"I know another way to learn. Experience." said Donnie as he and Boun prepared to fight.
"Booyakasha!" shouted Mikey hitting several enemies with his nunchucks.
"Booyakasha!" shouted Sisu swinging her tail to knock down a group of warriors.
"Well said, sis." said Mikey.
"Hey, you were right. It's fun to yell it." said Sisu.
"I know, that's why I like to yell it." said Mikey.
"Hey, do you want me to give them a little present?" asked Sisu.
"Do you have to ask?" asked Mikey.
"Okay. Close your eyes." said Sisu before Mikey did.
Just as several warriors charged towards them, Sisu's body lit up so brightly that the warriors ended up screaming as they covered their eyes at the same time Mikey opened his to see the situation.
"Oh, I guess they don't like your present." said Mikey.
"Too bad." said Sisu with a shrug.
Quickly, the two of them took down all the warriors.
After that, they saw from the side another group of warriors charging towards them.
"Looks like they want gifts too." said Mikey.
"Then, let's give them one that they will surely like." said Sisu.
"Booyakasha!" shouted the two in unison before rushing into the battle.
Raph was going back and forth, dodging attacks, blocking other attacks with his sais and knocking down several warriors with his punches and kicks.
Suddenly, a warrior tried to attack him with his sword, but Raph used his sais to block him before giving him a headbutt that pushed him back a little, which he took advantage of to knock him down with a punch.
Another warrior came up behind him to try to attack him, but then, a large hand grabbed him by the head and lifted him up a bit before throwing him far away.
Raph turned around to look at Tong.
"You know I could have handled it, right?" asked Raph.
"Ha. Maybe, but I wasn't going to let you have all the fun." said Tong.
"Touché." said Raph with a smile.
Pulling out his axe, Tong swung it back and forth, destroying the weapons of the warriors who were using them to try to protect themselves, only to have them destroyed and them knocked down.
A few warriors piled on top of him to try to restrain him, but he, with a groan of exertion and a body jerk, shook them off, before knocking them down with his fists.
A burly warrior approached from behind and raised his weapon towards him, but then, Raph suddenly appeared and slammed his fingers into a nerve in his arm, causing the weapon to fall out of his hands and before he could react, Raph kicked him down.
Tong turned around to see Raph giving him a smile.
"Now we are even." said Raph.
"Ha. I'm starting to like you, turtle." said Tong before the two jumped into the battle with a battle cry.
Leo used his ninja agility to easily dodge the warriors' attacks before using his katanas to knock them down without causing fatal blows.
One warrior tried to attack him from behind, but Leo blocked his attack without looking before quickly turning around to kick him down.
Raya and Namaari were side by side fighting the Jaw warriors, taking them down with their weapons while dodging or blocking their attacks.
It was then that Namaari rolled onto Raya's back to move to the other side and block the attack of a warrior she knocked down shortly after while Raya did the same on her side.
Suddenly, Namaari noticed something incoming and raised her swords to defend herself, but the attack turned out to be so strong that she ended up on the ground.
"Namaari!" shouted Raya with concern before going to her side to help her.
The two looked over to see Somwang with her spear at the ready.
"You've gotten really weak, little sister." said Somwang.
"And you've become crazier than I remember." said Namaari.
"I'm only doing what's best for Fang." said Somwang.
"And killing my mother was also necessary?!" asked Namaari in anger.
"She was weak! She had a chance to get the Dragon Gem, but she failed! She had a chance to save the world and have Fang be considered superior, but she failed! She had a chance to refuse the offer not to reform Kumandra, but she did! Fang doesn't need the other kingdoms! It's strong on its own! And I will prove it!" said Somwang before charging towards them with her spear raised.
They both stepped aside as the spear was swiftly brought down, impacting the ground and leaving a small crack.
Raya and Namaari lunged to attack her, but she managed to use her spear to block both attacks before moving out of the way.
At first, Raya and Namaari set about attacking Somwang with all their strength and speed, but Somwang was proving to be strong and skilled enough to block or dodge all the attacks without ever taking a step back from her position and that was two against one.
It was then when she raised her spear to block the swords of the two girls and with a swift turn, she tripped them a little, which she took advantage of to turn the tables, making it the girls who were the ones who got into the defensive.
Raya and Namaari set about dodging and blocking Somwang's attacks, but she was showing just how strong she was, as she was slowly pushing them back no matter how much they could resist.
At one point, Namaari tried to attack her, but Somwang moved out of the way and then gave her an elbow that pushed her back a little.
Taking advantage of the fact that the fight had become one on one, Somwang focused her attention on Raya who swung her sword to try to give her a diagonal cut, but Somwang used the blade of her spear to deflect the sword and on the way, kneed her in the stomach before punching her in the face that knocked her down.
Suddenly, she heard a battle cry and turned quickly to see Namaari charging towards her with her swords held high, but Somwang blocked it with her spear.
"Why are you doing all this? Don't you understand? If we worked together, with the other kingdoms, we could bring prosperity to Fang more than we could have ever imagined!" said Namaari.
"For how long?" asked Somwang before pushing Namaari away from her and soon after, the two began a weapon duel. "Sooner or later, people will become wary of the other kingdoms again, and do you know which one they will be wary of first? Fang! And it will be because of you!" said Somwang.
"Mine?" asked Namaari.
"Time and time again you had a simple task, but you always failed and it hurt Fang more than you think!" began Somwang as he began to attack with more ferocity, causing Namaari to back off as she tried to defend herself. "Who do you think was the real cause of the Druun coming back? Who do you think condemned Fang? WHO DO YOU THINK KILLED SISU?!"
That made her freeze for a moment while certain memories crossed her mind.
Memories she always wanted to forget, like when she betrayed Raya shortly after they met and, above all, when she shot that arrow that killed Sisu.
Unfortunately, Somwang took that moment to hit her so hard that it knocked her to the ground with a groan as Somwang approached her.
"I would have preferred that you had joined me. That you would have opened your eyes and seen the mistake you are making by lowering yourselves to the same level as the other kingdoms." began Somwang before grabbing Namaari by the neck and lifting her up a little. "But I see it's too late for that." said Somwang starting to tighten her grip.
Just as she was starting to lose consciousness, Leo suddenly appeared and gave Somwang a punch so hard that it knocked her back as she let go of Namaari who fell sitting on the ground before coughing a little.
"Leo?" asked Namaari surprised to see him.
"Are you okay?" asked Leo looking at her with concern.
"Yeah. *cough* I'm fine." said Namaari getting up.
"Ugh. You meddling creature. Why do you have to meddle in matters that don't concern you?" asked Somwang.
"You were hurting my friend and that I wouldn't allow even in death." said Leo.
"Friend? Do you even know what she did?" asked Somwang.
"Yes, and what does it matter what she did? What matters is what she is doing and what she will do." said Leo.
"Why are you so sure she won't betray you like she did in the past?" asked Somwang.
"Because I trust her, just as Raya and the others do." said Leo, surprising Namaari.
"I had planned to be merciful to you and the others like you, but I see I will have to break your shells." said Somwang readying her spear.
"Try if you want to." said Leo preparing to fight.
Both opponents rushed forward and each tried to attack the other with their weapons, but their speed and strength prevented them from being able to hit the other.
Leo tried to hit her with his katanas, but Somwang blocked the attack with her spear and pushed him back, causing him to stumble a bit, which she took advantage of to try to attack him.
However, a whip wrapped around the arm, preventing the attack and everyone turned their gaze to the side to see Raya looking at Somwang angrily.
"Get away from my friends!" exclaimed Raya.
Seeing it as a futile effort, Somwang threw her arm towards her, causing Raya to go flying towards her, but that was taken advantage of by her to give her a hard double kick in the face that sent her flying backwards.
"Are you all right, Raya?" asked Namaari.
"Perfectly. And you?" asked Raya.
"Better now." said Namaari with a smile.
"The princess of Heart, the princess of Fang and a humanoid turtle. I can already see the chaos you will unleash all of you." said Somwang standing up.
"Shut up! You say I've become weak, but you're wrong. As long as I have friends by my side who trust me, I can become stronger than before." said Namaari making Raya and Leo smile.
"You think so? Why don't you come to me and prove it to me?" asked Somwang.
"No, we'll show you all." said Namaari getting ready to fight along with her two friends.
Without hesitation, the four of them jumped into the fight.
First Raya started with her whip, but Somwang dodged each lash, but as she dodged another, she had to quickly raise her spear to block a double sword attack from Namaari.
She then shoved her away before dodging a katana attack from Leo.
At that point, Somwang went to defend against Namaari's and Leo's attacks before noticing Raya turn her whip into a sword and launch herself at her from the side.
Acting quickly, Somwang managed to create an opening through which she hit Leo and pushed him towards Raya who had to grab him to keep him from falling to the ground.
Taking advantage of that moment, she focused her attention on Namaari and tried to attack her, but she blocked her attack by crossing her swords.
While they were in a stalemate, Raya and Leo jumped towards her from behind, managing to kick her by surprise and knocking her to the ground, but she quickly got up while spinning her spear, forcing them back.
Quickly, Somwang lunged towards Raya who dodged to the side to avoid being impaled by the spear.
She turned her sword back into a whip and tried to lash out, but Somwang dodged it, but then, the whip wrapped around her arm.
Remembering what happened last time, she decided to simply pull while avoiding Raya's pull.
Unfortunately, what she didn't expect was that it only served as a distraction for Namaari and Leo to charge towards her.
Somwang used her free arm to raise her spear to block both attacks, but the combined force caused her to lose her grip on her spear, which fell away from her.
Before she could react for it, Raya unraveled her whip, turned it back into a sword and charged with the others towards her before the three of them threw a punch that ended up knocking her backwards to the ground.
Somwang shook her head slightly before looking up, only to find the sword of Namaari who was looking at her harshly before softening her gaze and looking away from the sword to extend her hand towards it.
"What are you doing?" asked Somwang.
"You may have done bad things, but you are still like a sister to me." said Namaari.
"You have a chance to make things right. Not just for yourself or your men, but for Fang." said Raya.
"But only if you are willing to accept it." said Leo.
Somwang looked at them for a moment before looking at the hand Namaari was holding out to her, with the small hope that she would accept it.
However, Somwang responded by slapping the hand away.
"If you expect me to demean myself because of words like that, you're wrong." said Somwang.
"*Sigh* I was afraid you were going to say that." said Namaari with slight sadness.
In a short time, all of Jaw's warriors were defeated.
For a moment, the warriors thought of fleeing in the same way they have always done, but then, Fang's warriors arrived and surrounded them all.
Seeing that they no longer had any way to escape, they had no choice but to surrender.
The group stood to the side as they watched the members of Jaw being taken away.
Somwang, who had her hands tied behind her back, was being escorted by a couple of guards, but they stopped as soon as they reached where Namaari was.
"I want you to know that if you ever want to talk, you can count on me." said Namaari.
"Save yourself the effort, Namaari." said Somwang before she and her escorts continued on their way.
That was a hard blow for Namaari to see that she was no longer using the nickname she used to use on her.
"You did what you could." said Raya.
"I may decide to change someday. It's only a matter of time." said Leo.
"Well, it's going to be a very long time." said Casey.
"You never know." said Sisu with a shrug.
"Trust us. We have experience that sometimes this kind of thing takes time." said Raph.
"Although it also depends on the circumstances." said Donnie.
"And on the person." said Tong, crossing his arms.
"True." said April as Noi squealed in agreement and the ongis nodded in agreement.
"I want to thank you, both of you, for trusting me." said Namaari to Raya and Leo.
"Well, we are friends, aren't we?" asked Leo.
"And friends trust each other. No matter what." said Raya with a smile that Namaari returned before giving the two a hug which they returned.
"Well ladies and gentleman, now that we've finished defeating a terrorist group, what do you say we go celebrate?" asked Boun.
"Why, sure. We more than deserve it." said Casey.
"It always feels good to enjoy a good meal after the battle." said Tong.
"I agree." said Raph.
"What do you say, Noi, do you feel like eating something special?" asked April getting a squeal from the baby as the ongis squealed in delight.
"We'll take that as a 'yes'." said Donnie.
"Oh yes, please tell me you have pizza." said Mikey.
"Uh… I don't know what that is, but I know a couple of dishes that will make your fingers lick." said Boun.
"Hmph. I created it when I tasted it." said Mikey crossing his arms.
"Hey, what's with the pizza?" asked Sisu confused.
"Oh, it's just a dish from our world." said Leo.
"Really? Well, I'm interested in trying it." said Raya.
"Me too." said Namaari.
"In that case, I'll make sure you get a taste when the time comes." said Mikey.
After that, the group prepared to leave the place, happy that they had solved a serious problem and that now they were all going to celebrate together.
But what they didn't know was that more serious problems were beginning to brew and it would be up to them whether or not they would get to resolve them.
