A little over a week had passed since the whole…Cassandra and Mikey issue and their solo missions, now, in Japan, two cats discussed about Mikey, and finally returned to their humans homes.
"Eh…Artemis? Imananji ka nani ka wakarimasu ka," asked a pouty Minako, she then stood up and stretched, "I need my beauty sleep!"
"Ah…Mina…I'm sorry to wake you, I just had a meeting with Luna," said Artemis, climbing to sit on Minako's shoulder.
Minako sighed as she pet him, "a meeting? Kaigi wa nani ni tsuitedeshita ka?"
"Well, it was about the whole Mitsuki issue."
"Did Usagi-san and Luna-san not find him yet?"
"Oh, they did…Shikashi Runa wa, ōji ni wa mada junbi ga dekite inai yō ni kanjimashita. Autā-gawa wa, jibun no uchinaru jiko o tokihanatsu ni wa motto jikan ga hitsuyōda to nobeta."
"Ha~a? Kare no uchinaru jiko o tokihanatsu jikan wa arudeshou ka? With how everyone is on edge…" sighed Minako, placing her cat companion onto her kitchen counter as she grabbed a cereal box and milk.
"Let's just have faith in the Outer Senshi and Luna!"
"Pft…simp," Minako muttered, Artemis was so…whipped for Luna, it was funny and kinda sad.
"What did you say," asked a genuinely curious Artemis.
"O-oh nothing! Shinpaishinaidekudasai," Minako assured Artemis quickly.
"O-okay…" he said, eyeing Minako, who stuffed cereal in her mouth to stop herself from laughing.
Meanwhile, with Usagi and Luna, in Usagi's bedroom:
"Eh? Artemis to kaidan shita ndesu ka," asked Usagi, turning to her cat advisor, who was laying near the window.
"Mhm! We talked about your brother," stated Luna as Usagi pouted.
"You talked about him needing to find his inner self, right? That is what Mr. Draxum advised," Usagi recalled, wanting to confirm her suspicion.
"You know, SOMETIMES, you can be smart. It's extremely rare though," teased Luna as Usagi flushed, and threw a pillow at her, yelling, "meanie!"
Luna easily dodged the pillow, "Usagi-san, don't be immature! As you recalled, Mr. Draxum suggested that his…creation needed time to find his inner self. Trust in your brother to do so!"
Usagi, started crying and she whines before speaking, "I…I DO trust my brother…I j-just want to talk, together. We used to be…to be so close during the Silver Millennium! I would do anything to mend our relationship! I don't want to wait, I'm impatient, a-and I honestly don't care!"
"Usagi…I understand-" started Luna.
Usagi released angry pheromones, she stomped over to the cat, "Do you REALLY Luna?!"
"Usagi! Stop yelling," scolded her mother from her own room, "yeah, and just TRY to be normal for once," added her little brother.
"UGH," grunted Usagi, sitting on the floor criss-crossed, "t-this isn't fair!"
"I know…I really do. Be we must be patient. Let's enjoy this time we have, this time of peace, before evil comes once again," suggested Luna, "why don't I go get the Inner's, and we all hang out? Hm?"
Usagi wiped the tears from her face, "o-ok…" she muttered, "I'm sorry for yelling Luna!"
"Sh, it's okay hime," assured Luna, "I'll go contact the Inner's now, I'll be right back!"
Luna then left Usagi's bedroom from her window. Usagi, now all alone, grabbed the mirror Sailor Pluto gave to her, "brother…please remember me soon! H-huh…where is he? He's on..an island? I-is he on vacation?! Not fair!"
"Shut up," yelped her brother as Usagi yelled back.
"Why are you on vacation? Hm, let's see…who's this man? Are they related? I mean, he is a turtle," said a curious Usagi, looking at Leo through her mirror.
"Seriously shut up," yelled Shingo, kicking Usagi's door as he walked by, causing Usagi to flinch.
In NYC, the Hidden/Secret/Yokai City:
Señor Hueso was painting a model pirate ship red when Leo barged in, asking for his help.
"Certainly. I will begin by teaching you how to leave. Bye-bye," he said as he got up.
Leo sighed, "b-but this is an emergency! You WON'T believe what happened!"
FLASHBACK:
Mikey grinned and expressed his eagerness by saying, "oh, yeah."
His brother Raph then added, "gotta make it to Rum of The Mill Pizza before they close."
Donnie nodded in agreement, "mmm, I cannot wait to try their new meatless option: Vegetable."
Leo then entered in his own flamboyant manner, "say no more, mis hermanos! I'll just use my ultra reliable portaling sword to get us there," he then swings his sword around, "hachi machi!"
His three brothers knew that his portals were not at all reliable, "no, no, no, no-"
All fours brothers were then sucked into a blue portal. Only Leo was teleported into the correct destination, "oy vey…" he growled to himself.
END OF FLASHBACK:
"I came out fine, but when they came out, they didn't come out. My brothers are GONE!"
"Ahh, this sounds like a classic case of portal jacking."
Leo leaning to the side, "uh, duh. W-what's portal jacking?"
Señor Hueso then sighed as he explained what portal jacking was, teasing Leo about this portal skills.
Leo sarcastically laughed, "oh, ho, ho…you'll have PLENTY more chances to zing me while you help me find my brothers! Vámonos!"
Señor Hueso sighs to himself, he walked closer to the turtle before speaking, "while I would like to help my FAVORITE customer, you're not him. And I do not go into the Hidden City. But look on the bright side: you'll get used to the crushing loneliness."
"Ugh, look, bone man," Leo scoffed, "my brothers and I buy enough pizza to put Hueso, Jr., through bone college. Have you SEEN our frequent buyer card?!"
Leo then rolled down at least a dozen cards, causing Señor Hueso to sigh, "fine," he agreed, "I will show you the way to the Hiden City, BUT my help ends there."
Now, Leo and SH (Señor Hueso) were looking into a trash can, which confused Leo very much.
When he asked about it, SH just replied with: "there are MANY doorways, but this one fits YOU best," the sound of a compactor clunking was heard, soon, an "elevator" like passage was shown.
Leo smirked before he exclaimed: "Sweet, in we go!"
SH shakes his head, "no, no, I am not- wha?"
Leo then pulled SH will him into the doorway, broth screaming; one out of excitement, the other, out of fear. The two crashed hard onto the ground, groaning as they dusted themselves off.
Leo, in a sing-song tone, teased SH by saying, "woah, who's your architect, Frank Lloyd Gargoyle?"
SH looked around in shock before he replied, "you fool! You shouldn't have brought me," he exclaimed as he put his hands on his head in a frustrated manner.
"Halt," yelled out a female alpha voice, causing the two to look up, "hidden city police!"
Another policeman, an alpha male, leaned down as said, "Hueso? How DARE you show your skull here?! We're taking you in," he shouted as he lunged at SH.
"No, no, no, no, no…" murmurs a panicking SH as Leo tilted his head in confusion, as SH left Leo to fight the policeman.
"Seriously?! Gah," yelped Leo as the policeman ran at him, throwing a trapping device at him; a device Leo threw back at both of the police officers, trapping them successfully.
The female alpha exclaimed: "you'll pay for this, kid!"
Grinning mischievously, Leo "apologized" for his actions, "I, Baron Draxum, humbly apologize!"
"Alpha's these days…" grunted the male police officer.
Looking up, Leo saw SH attempting to climb away, Leo, being a flamboyant king, cartwheeled over to his sassy friend, "Señor Hueso, are you a wanted man," he asked, teasing him.
"Yes," replied a timid SH, trying to run away, instead, he almost fell off of a cliff, causing Leo to chuckle.
Putting his sword onto his shoulder he teased, "you are full of surprises!"
Turning around to face the turtles, SH replied, "you have NO idea," he then jumped off the cliff and onto a bird like creature, "so long, amigo!"
Leo leaped, and grabbed onto the creature's leg, attempting to join SH on this creature.
"Do you have ANY idea how much danger you have put me in?!"
"Uh…I do NOW, so…where we goin'?"
"Where the police dare not go."
"Splinter's laundry pile," asked a childish Leo, as SH sighed as they flew away.
Not long after, the two landed on a deck…to find pirates; pirates who were singing a tune: "yar, har, yar, har-the baddest pirates by far, far! We takes your portal, it makes us chortle!"
The two walked passed the drunken group of pirates singing, Leo then said, "ooh…the docks. Interesting vide, sort of Cape Cod meets state prison."
Stopping, SH, explained: "okay, here is the plan: you stay here, and I will find a way back to New York."
"Dude, let me say this in a language you can understand: no! I saved your tailbone back there. You owe me."
Sighing, SH put his hands on his hips as he said, "okay, pepino, if this is the ONLY way I get out of here in 206 pieces, I will give you what you need. Come!"
"Huh," grunted a confused Leo.
SH then turned, "do you see that one over there," he pointed to some guy sitting on a barstool, "that one knows everything you need to know. Now, you go show him who is the top dog."
Grinning, Leo walked up to the guy saying, "HARD AS NAILS!"
"Idiot…" muttered SH.
"Okay, all right, pip-squeak, I'm the top dog, and you're gonna answer my questions," declared Leo as he turned the guy to see…AN OLD LADY?!
A large alpha Yokai then stood up to his full height, growing he said, "you hasslin' my gram-gram?!"
The shaking grandma added: "he s-said he's top dog!"
This caused the Yokai to become angrier, "I'M TOP DOG!"
It's no surprise that a fight issued out. :D
Grunting painfully Leo stated, "Señor, I didn't do so good…you are NOT ditching me here," he said standing up, growling. Chassing after SH, he called out: "get back here, you skinless coward! You're gonna help me find my brothers!"
"Estúpido," grunted SH, as he almost ran into one of Leo's portals.
"Get in here, you! You set me up," exclaimed Leo, dragging SH into the portal.
"I did, yes," admitted SH.
The two then feel through the portal, Leo strangled SH's legs, growing Leo said: "I oughta portal you right back to the cops."
"Pft…with no sword," asked a sassy SH.
Leo groans and stands up to look around, scanning his perimeter before yelling, "huh, ah, no, no, no! AHHH!! Portal jacked again!? First my brothers, now my sword. What's gonna happen the next time? Oh wait! There won't be a next time, because I have no sword! Ugh!"
Petting Leo's shoulder, SH "assured" him by saying, "there, there. You will be fine," he then turns to leave, "goodbye."
"I will not be fine! There's no team with just a faceman. I need my sarcastic and psychotic brainy guy, and my large and gentle smashing guy, and my eats peanut butter with his fingers but somehow looks elegant guy…I'm nothing without them. You wouldn't understand. At least your heart is made of bone too. Adios, Hueso."
"Pepino, wait! I do know what it is to lose someone. I will help you."
"R-really," exclaimed an exited Leo.
SH then explained, "The theft of your sword might be a blessing in disguise," SH then pointed to a shop, "this shop is known for selling stolen weapons. The portal thieves may come here to unload your sword."
"There they are," yelled Leo, pointing to two guys holding his sword, "bonehead, you're a genius!"
SH flushed at the complement as Leo rushed into their personal space and kicked one of the guys while yelling: "HOT SOUP!"
Leo didn't see that the other guy was about to hit him, SH did; he then beat up the other guy before saying, "olé," triumphly.
As the two celebrated, Leo picked up a back that said 'Queen Alexis,' which is what Leo accused to be the ship were they got his "bros".
Pointing his sword into the air, he declared: "Raph, Mikey, I guess maybe even Donnie, I'm coming for ya!"
SH stated that, "we'll need disguised to get onboard."
"Disguises…oh, this outta be fun!"
Now, the two were walking onto the dock, while SH sighed at Leo's idiotic manner, "you went with TWO eye patches, eh?"
"I think I know what I'm doin'," he said as he ran into a pole, Leo now only wore one eye patch, "so…where's the ship?"
"There," exclaimed SH, pointing to a ship that's floating in the air.
Pulling out his sword, Leo declared, "sky pirates, you are goin' done!"
As Leo opened a portal SH added, "w-wait, we need to formulate a pla-"
Leo then smacked SH into the portal, Leo followed after him, humming to himself. They then landed onto the boat.
"We needed a plan? Erm no. Don't worry, my plan is to wing it."
"Oy vey…" grunted an already exhausted SH.
"Yar, who be ya," asked a random ahh pirate.
"Who be we," repeated Leo, sweating, "we be yar ships entertainment. I'm Captain Bluemask," he then pulled SH closer to him, "and this is my hilarious sidekick, Jolly Joger," Leo than sat down and acted like SH was a…was a puppet…"boy, Rog, you sure have lost weight."
"Please, do not do this," begged SH.
"Okay, looks like somebody's lost his FUNNY BONE!"
"Ha, that joke is so lame, it requires a pen leg," sighed SH, his sarcasm caused the pirates to laugh.
"Heh…boy, this Hidden City weather, am I right," asked Leo, "speaking of which, what's the deal with…PORTAL JACKING? A-anybody done any of that lately?"
A beta female pirate narrowed her eye while saying, "that hits too close to home!"
Another beta, a male one though, added, "I'm starting to think these two are not a polished ventriloquist act."
Suddenly, an alpha males Boyce is heard, yelling, "HUESO!"
Hearing his name, SH looked up in question, "P-Piel!"
Thai made was made out of skin/meat…the total opposite of SH.
"That is Capitán Piel to you! Now, be careful my crew. It is the most WANTED pirate in the Hidden City."
"Yar, right," said a sarcastic crew mate.
"W-wait a sec, you were a pirate," asked a shocked Leo, "dude you're killin' it today!"
"I was never a pirate," said a stern SH, "he," SH pointed at Piel, "tricked me into going on ONE mission, and I'm forever branded a criminal in the Hidden City."
Piel rolled his eyes, "you were SUCH a coward, you ran away from a basic plundering," he got closer to SH, "ha, you should have heard his bones rattle."
"I was but a child," countered SH, stepping closer, "but I fear you no more, hermano."
They two clashed swords as Leo stoop flabbergasted, "woah, woah, whoah, woah, whoa, hermano? You guys are-"
"Yes, yes, we are brothers. One last chance, Piel," stated SH, all his attention on his brother, "leave this life, and we can be brothers again."
With Usagi:
"Oof…just do it Piel! Become siblings, like you were meant to," she yelled to her mirror, that had been showing all of these events.
Back on this ship:
Piel rolled his eyes once more, "you know that old saying: skin and bones do not mix," he said as the two fought.
"Okay, maybe you're better off without your brother, but I'm still gonna get mine," stated Leo, he said, as he tried to escape but pirates blocked his path; Leo, fought all of them until he was on the plank.
One of the mates scoffed, "looks like you're done, matey."
"Oh? Not if I portal you to the Hidden City Police," he said pointing his sword infront of him, "HACHI MACHI!"
"Oh I can't look," yelped Usagi as she covered her eyes with her hand, but she just ended up peaking.
"Pepino," started SH, "this has never worked," he finished as a blue portal opened; all the portal did was release his brothers, from vacation. :D
"Oh thank goodness, he's okay," yelled Usagi upon seeing Mikey.
"Woah, where'd you guys come from," asked Leo, "I mean, hey, check it out. I freed you from your pirate prison. You're welcome!"
"Pirate prison," asked Raph, scratching his heads
"You portalled us to Tahiti," stated Mikey, his eye twitching.
"The sewers, they are fabulous," added Donnie.
Jumping infront of his brother he stated, "whoo-ha! Come on come on come on, help us fight these guys!"
"No! I want a refill on my coconut," pouted a grumpy Mikey.
"Take us back to Tahiti," requested Raph, in a scolding tone.
Donnie nodded his head in agreement, shaking his blue clammed brother, "More Tahiti!"
"It would get us out of this. . . okay, Tahiti, here we come!"
Leo pointed his sword into the air, teleporting all of the pirates somewhere.
Donnie, being a sarcastic king, asked, "oh? Is this Tahiti? Well then, allow me to make a sand angel in this lovely, soft, wooden sand. Ouch."
"Okay not what I meant to do but I got rid of the Pirates."
The female police officer yelled, "You sure did!"
"We were, uh, bravely surveling the siturationand we saw what happened. You're a hero, Hueso," added the male officer.
"Then I am off the most wanted list?"
"Well, ya are now, Hueso!"
"Ah, gracious, pepino," SH turning to Leo.
"No problem, boneman."
"What do you suppose has become of my brother?"
Leo laughed to himself, "oh, I guarantee I sent him to the worst place possible!"
Meanwhile it was revealed that Piel and his group are sent to Tahiti, enjoying life.
"Oh…why wouldn't Piel join Hueso," asked Usagi, placing her mirror down.
"Usagi, you're friends are here," stated her mother.
"Oh, okay! I'll think more about this later, time to have some fun!"
