I own nothing except the stuff I made up

Hidden City Ahoy!

Things were still boiling over from the nights events. Using the last of his Anger Jason turned Kendra, Jeremy and himself into the Police. Jason kept Mikey updated that he and Kendra were getting counseling together with Carol. She and Jeremy would also get community service. Just like last time, although now Jason's parents had finally gotten involved. And things were just as awkward as predicted.

April sighed as she collapsed in the lair. Raph was asleep out cold on the couch. But she didn't see the others and figured they were in there rooms. "They've been working their asses off for the past two weeks. And no results or not the past two days have been horrible. Maybe the B-Team should take Patrol for the night." April thought to herself, standing up. She began to text Krysta and Tiger Claw while searching for Klunk and Shelldon. Tiger Claw had responded within a couple of minutes.

"I think this is a good idea. The boys need a break." Tiger Claw texted.

"I've gotta say I thought I saw them outside passing Run of the Mill This morning." Krysta added in text.

"They're probably just wandering around the city. Don't need to sleep to relax." April replied. "Also lets bring Casey along I feel like she's getting stir crazy."

Tiger Claw's response was to send a video of Casey running around his apartment on all fours like a cat with Zoomies. She even knocked some stuff over, got startled and knocked more stuff over as she screamed.

"Well, that's a yes if I ever saw one." April replied.

"Why is she going to the Nexus Hotel Again!?" Leo growled. So far, the trio of him Donnie and Mikey were trailing after Lizzie who thought she had snuck out of the Lair unnoticed.

"Because Frida is there." Mikey replied.

Leo groaned before running ahead, Mikey and Donnie behind him. They soon snuck closer to the Battle Nexus which looked untouched from a couple months ago. "I guess I did less damage to the building than Big Mama Heheh." Mikey grimly joked his head shrinking into his shell a little.

Donnie used his goggles and started scanning the building upward. "I see her! She used suction cups to scale the building undetected! Smart…."

"Not as smart as portalling too her!" Leo boasted as he did just that.

As Lizzie opened the Window and snuck in, she heard a swinging Piano tune that bounced along in a way that was syncopated. Lizzie bobbed her head a little to the music. "That's bouncy."

"Gasp!" Frida yelped, stopping her playing. She turned and sighed in relief. "I Thought you were my mother for a second."

"Why?" Lizzie asked.

"She doesn't really like me playing jazz music. But I really like it. So, I like to practice it when I'm alone."

"So, no one can hear you?" Lizzie asked sadly.

"It's better that way." Frida admitted. Trying not to dreg up the arguments she had with Big Mama over the Music. It wasn't lady like to her mother.

"Can I hear more!?" Lizzie asked.

"Sure!" Frida said a bit excitedly. As she began again where she left off. But it was then that a portal opened up above them as Leo, Donnie and Mikey all fell out and crashed into floor behind them making both girls jump this time.

"Ya like Jazz?" Leo asked in a daze.

"That's it! No more Bee Movie for you! EVER!" Donnie shouted grumpily.

"Guys! What are doing here! Big Mama lives at this Hotel!" Lizzie cried.

"We can literally say the same thing to you!" Leo shouted exasperatedly jumping up and causing Mikey and Donnie to fall off him.

"I came to see our sister!" Lizzie snapped. "Maybe even-"

"No, No, No! NO MORE REDEMPTION ARCS!" Leo shouted spastically.

"I take it your still very skeptical of Casey?" Donnie.

"Yes! And her!" Leo snapped pointing at Frida. "She could be duping you, Lizzie. Big Mama's really good at that! And she'd totally pass that knowledge along."

"She's not." Lizzie replied simply though her expression looking at Leo was far from Happy or impressed.

"Frida is our sister Leo." Mikey pointed out.

"But she was raised by Big Mama! Who tried to lock us in the Battle Nexus! You as the Champion." Leo said to Mikey before gesturing to himself and Donnie. "And the rest of us as Clowns. Also did we already forget Battle Nexus Whizbang?" Leo snapped.

"Well technically Lizzie was not There for the Whizbang." Donnie pointed out.

"I was not." Lizzie added.

"But we told her about it so that counts." Leo grumbled.

"Yeah, but as far as she's concerned. Frida's our sister and she's with one of our enemies. And that scares her!" Mikey began.

"It does!" Lizzie said, cutting in.

"And honestly, we don't know how Frida feels about any of this. Or if she's even in a good place." Mikey sighed, hanging his head. Leo felt his heart bleed a little. He remembered that Mikey was in a similar situation to Frida about a year ago.

Leo let out an exhale of defeat. "I've got my eye on you." He growled at Frida.

"And I you. You're not getting the Orichalcum." Frida growled as they glared at each other.

"I completely forgot about that." Mikey muttered his eyes unfocused.

"I did not." Donnie said shrinking down his Mystic Tech-Bo into his pocket.

"Okay Pizza!" Krysta said bringing their lunch out and placing it down on an outside table at the back of the restaurant. That was behind what looked like a large shed.

"FINALLY, NOURISHMENT!" Casey declared excitedly having not eaten all day.

"Yes!" Klunk shouted happily. "Let's eat."

"Anything we should be on the look out for?" Shelldon asked as Tiger Claw pulled out a piece of Creepy Supreme and began eating it.

"Probably the Tiranno Family bullying people in town." Krysta replied.

"Halt evil Cheetah Alien of Neptune-358." They suddenly heard Moncrief shout.

"Speak of the Devil." Krysta sighed as Mayhem put the Pizzas away and the group looked out into the street to see Overdrive and Moncrief having a fight. Overdrive clearly annoyed dodged a few moves from Moncrief before attacking. But Moncrief just managed to dodge.

"BAD!" Klunk shouted.

"It's that crazy guy who thinks he's the real Jupiter Jim!" Shelldon gasped.

"Perfect…." Tiger Claw exhaled in a sarcastic Deadpan. Moncrief went to punch Overdrive once more. But he quickly moved out of the way. And then with a rolling kick sent Moncrief flying into a nearby Dumpster as the Cheetah Mutant ran off.

"NO! THAT DUMPSTER GOES TO THE HIDDEN CITY!" Tiger Claw screamed with his paws on his head. "We've gotta get him out!" he then let out a dismayed snarl. "DAMN IT! I DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH HIM TODAY!" Tiger Claw, rushing clearly before he could change his mind dove into the dumpster after him.

April with Mayhem on her shoulder and Shelldon jumped in with their respective Battle cries. "APRILLLLLLLLL O'NEEEEEIIIIIILLLL!/BOOYAKASHA!"

Casey was next. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SCREAAAAAAMMM!" she shrieked body spread full eagle as she fell into the Portal, the light of which was visible now. Krysta and Klunk rushed up as Klunk took off on wings and Krysta flung herself like she was jumping over a wall into the Dumpster as Klunk dove straight in.

"COWABUNGAAAAA!" They shouted together. Krysta found herself slowing to a floating descent as she landed in the Hidden City. There were the others but already Moncrief was nowhere to be seen.

"We came in right after him, right?" Krysta asked.

"Yeah supposedly….but he's already gone. And I can't use my Night Watcher Armor! Otherwise, He'll think I'm one of his enemies Chrome Dome!" Tiger Claw growled.

"We gotta find him soon! I Just realized that the Hidden City looks really similar to the Black-Market District in Sector Alpha A113 in the Voyager Quadrant! In Jupiter Jim Issue seventeen!" April warned.

"Black Market doesn't sound good!" Krysta muttered worriedly.

"The scum of the Jupiter Jim Universe love shopping here! Especially the aforementioned Chrome Dome! Who once bought parts here to build his Seal Ray! Which he was going to use to give everyone the minds of Seals!" April declared getting into the thought of the arc and showing some frantic emotion upon mentioning the Weapon.

Which was so silly it caused, Klunk, Krysta, Shelldon and Casey to started giggling. "Don't laugh." April warned. "That could cause society to collapse."

"Fair enough…" Krysta giggled.

"I think I've read that arc!" Tiger Claw muttered in nostalgia. There was suddenly a crash. A Yokai was fleeing his stand as Jupiter Jim began tearing it apart.

"I know the parts to the Seal Canon are in here! Chrome Dome you fiend! You're trying to collapse the society of Galaxy! But I will not allow it!" Jupiter Jim shouted as he went to attack another stand.

"Hey!" Casey shouted, grabbing his arm. He looked at her.

"That outfit! The growled. You're a lackey of Chrome Dome!" Moncrief declared.

"What no I'm not!?" Casey shouted.

"Then you're a Chronie of that Traitor Atomic Lad!" He declared.

Casey yelped and looked at April who wasn't sure. "Where is the Blue one where you need him!" she cried as she blocked a punch from Moncrief, the two began to attack each other. Moncrief managed to kick her into the wall of a restaurant.

"I'm one of the Good Guys…Now at least!" Casey shouted.

"That outfit says otherwise! It's an evil grunt outfit! You can't fool me with your act. As if someone like you could ever change their ways!" Moncrief growled.

Casey just began to see red. "BRING IT ONNNNN!" Casey snarled as she and Moncrief began relentlessly attacking each other.

"We need a plan!" Krysta sighed.

"We need Princess Serenity, that's what got him to work with us last time." April replied looking at Krysta.

"Yeah, it would but we've gotta make sure he doesn't randomly destroy Businesses either." Krysta replied looking at the fight as they were in a ball bouncing around as they grappled.

"I WILL RIP OFF YOUR MOUSTACHE!" Casey shouted. The two of them bouncing around the rest of the group.

"That's going to mean he needs a target." Tiger Claw growled in defeat. He then activated his Night Watcher armor. "Get ready I'll distract him." He sighed as he rushed forward as Casey was thrown back towards them.

"Round two!" Casey muttered in a bit of a daze. April however grabbed her.

"Hold on Case, we've got a plan." April replied.

"Does involve grinding Moncrief's Bones to dust?" Casey asked.

"What- No! We've gotta meet him on his own whacky level!" April replied.

"Does that involve grinding his bones to dust?!" Casey barked.

"There is no Bone Grinding! Geeze Girl, did he insult you?" April asked incredulously.

"YES!" Casey snapped. "He'd say I'd never change! But I've given up the only family I ever had. And abandoned everything I spent eight years of my life working towards, to be better! But he doesn't know that! And he'd never believe me! He's stupidly conflating outdated tropes with reality!" she snarled, her eyes glistening.

"We know you're changing." Krysta comforted putting a hand on her shoulder. "And maybe you'll find another family. Like us."

Casey looked back and smiled as April and Mayhem nodded. "Thank you!" She squeaked, whipping her eyes. "So, what do we do?"

"We need a new look! And I think I have an idea for you Cassandra!" April said grinning.

There was suddenly a wicked laugh standing above the Market place at the highest point he could find. Was Tiger Claw. "Jupiter Jim!"

"Chrome Dome!" Jupiter Jim gasped glaring at Tiger Claw. April hurried the other girls along with Mayhem still on her shoulder. "I must admit your intelligence surprises me! Following me here to the Black-Market District!" Tiger Claw called hamming it up.

"It helps when you're so predictable Chrome Dome! What are you up to this time!?"

Tiger Claw let out another laugh as April quickly styled silver beads on a hair chain around Krysta's ears after getting her into a sky-blue dress with a large fortunately light Egyptian Pharaoh collar and large sleeves reaching to her writs and a black around her waist holding a small stun gun of Donnie's and with her tail sitting over out and over the back of the skirt.

April dressed herself up as one of Serenity's handmaidens/Bodyguard. She put on a yellow Spandex suit with a skirt, a white belt with white boots and gloves. She had an open yellow helmet that surrounded her face. Mayhem and Klunk both wore a similar collar to Krysta and sat on her shoulder. However, as they saw Casey with a dark grey denim jacket with torn sleeves on top of a teal sleeveless shirt and olive denim jeans with red knee pads and tucked into black combat boots. Mayhem suddenly disappeared and then teleported in with a small eye dropper. He let a small bit of potion fall on Casey's head. Her hair grew out a bit surrounding her ears and smallish bangs sit over her eyes.

"That'll work too!" Krysta declared.

"And you're lookin' fly!" April added.

Casey looked over herself in the mirror. She still needed the belt to pull off the character she was trying to imitate. But she liked the look, it screamed, her. So once the mission was done, she'd keep it.

With the belt on they rushed out as Tiger Claw revealed his plan. "I am looking for parts I need for my latest weapon. A Satellite that will make all the Galaxy bend to my will! And makes us all one Evil Empire!"

"YOU SICK MONSTER!" Moncrief shouted as he charged at Tiger Claw. Tiger Claw merely kicked him back towards the girls and Mayhem when he saw them. He then looked up to notice the Mud Dogs looking around sneakily and headed towards the Battle Nexus.

Tiger Claw couldn't really ask what they were doing here as he had to block moves from Moncrief. Fortunately, the armor would block the Nerve Pinch Mikey warned him about. When he tried to use it. Tiger Claw managed to punch him in the face. He laughed again.

"You fool!" Tiger Claw shouted. "The Plan is already in motion! You're too late Jupiter Jim!" he laughed rushing off after the Mud Dogs. "Armor send a text to April! Mud Dogs are up to something so heading the Battle Nexus. But there should be a portal nearby there."

"Sending…" replied the mechanical Donnie voice in the Armor.

"Jupiter Jim!" said Krysta looking over him as the others surrounded him.

"Princess Serenity! It's good that you've come! That Fiend Chrome Dome is planning to Mind Control the Galaxy!"

"I'm aware we must go after him and stop him!" Krysta replied.

"Yes, those were my thoughts exactly! I see you brought your bodyguard and Ace Pilot Ava Co-Op with you! Good Job."

"Ava Co-Op?" Casey whispered to April.

"Just roll with it." April hissed to her.

"Chrome Dome might be looking for Adamantium." April warned pointing out to where she had an idea the Crying Titan used to stand.

"Gasp! The Most dangerous Ore in the Galaxy, of course Chrome Dome would seek out something so dangerous." Jupiter Jim declared.

"Yes! Let's us fight the Evil Borg!" Casey shouted rushing off towards the crying Titan site.

"By the way how are my Turtle Alien Allies doing? We could use their help." Moncrief pointed out.

"No! I mean they're on an important mission right now. So, we're on our own!" April said quickly.

"Blast! Very well, now let us make haste!" Moncrief said with his eyes crossed as he ran off to the Battle Nexus.

Krysta felt another buzz. The Phone had been buzzing for a while. But she had been afraid to look. Right now, though she probably should. It was from Mikey, reading I'm sorry. Krysta just put it on read and put the phone away.

They had been watching for a few hours. But were now towards the end of Season three of Steven Universe. Frida liked the show. It was cute. And surprisingly had LBGTQ pairings that was allowed? Also, a lot of everything being in a Role and defying it. It was personally speaking to her. She was a girl. But she wasn't anything that her mother said was Lady like. She felt kind of ashamed for that. Yet the show was saying that was just fine…..was it really?

"Do you like it?" Lizzie asked.

"I do…a lot…..but I'd never be allowed to watch anything like this." Frida admitted. It was then Leo had returned with their Pizzas. His Twin looking up from his phone.

"Leonardo, I swear to the Pizza Supreme in the sky! If any of those Pizza's but yours has Pineapple-" Donnie began.

"Relax, I'm not in the mood to try and slip you Pineapple today." Leo sighed. He kept his small personal pizza to himself and got a Creepy supreme Pizza and a Supreme Pizza. "Plus I don't want to mess up the only thing I'm good for."

"Who said this was all you're good for?" Donnie asked flatly but surprised.

"Hey Frida, what is life here like for you?" Mikey asked almost out of the blue. Ignoring Leo who ignored Donnie's follow up to his question.

"That's not true." Donnie said. But he went ignored, as Frida thought about her daily life.

"Well, my Day is pretty jam packed. A lot of events in my week are scheduled out. But it's a free day today. Those were days I'd spend training myself to fight. But mostly I learn to play the Piano and take Lady Lessons. And properly fit in Yokai high society. And it has to be perfect. Which is hard for me considering I'm….different. A lot of the food is specially prepared too. Though I might've imagined some of what I was served."

She suddenly felt Donnie get close to her with his goggles down. "There is nothing wrong with your brain if that is what you're implying."

"What did you just do to me!?" Frida hissed sharply, turning on him.

"Scanned you." Donnie replied simply.

"You didn't have permission to do that!" Frida snarled.

"But what if you were sick?" Mikey defended.

"Theirs is lots of reasons you don't want your brain to get sick. Like Paralysis, respiratory failure-" Donnie listed out.

"If I'm sick! I will let my mother know! Not any of you!" Frida hissed venomously.

"But….you're our sister…." Frida replied.

"I know…." Frida sighed. "But…..we're not family…..like that…."

Mikey looked at his baby sister hanging her head. Before turning back to his Older Sister looking confused. "Frida, do you think maybe….Big Mama is Gaslighting you?"

"In what regard?" Frida asked in a low growl looking right into his soul.

"Uhhh life….." Mikey nervously answered. "She might be abusing you. And Gaslighting is a form of that. But it's so normalized for you that-"

Mikey yelped pulling down his head into his shell as Frida swing her open palm so fast it actually made a small sound over the hole where his head had been. "HOW DARE YOU!" Frida snarled. "My Mother loves me!"

"You know you keep telling Lizzie its complicated! Well, it's complicated with her and you! Maybe she loves you but not in a good way! Do you know why she saved you?"

"Do you know why Lou Jitsu saved your brothers!?" Frida snapped.

"Because they were his responsibility now! Because like him they were made only to fight and destroy! Not live, just exist! And he didn't want them to be alone! Ultimately because he cared….."

"Well, she cared too…." Frida snarled. There was suddenly a growl coming from the center of her plastron.

"Did you have Breakfast?" Mikey asked.

"No….I've…" Frida began blushing with a sigh. "Been grounded from Food."

"That's abuse!" Mikey declared pointing an accusatory finger at her.

"How do you know?! Maybe it's just another form of parenting!" Frida snapped pointing back at him.

Mikey in response to this goggled 'is starving your child a form of abuse.' Then turned his phone to show the results to her. The first thing that came up highlighted was "Deliberate starvation of an infant or child is a rare but severe form of child abuse."

"How dare you drag me down to your level!" Frida shouted.

"YOU'RE THE ONE BEING DILLUSIONAL!" Mikey snapped getting angry at her insistence of Big Mama's innocence. They were now pressing their heads against each other.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! We're getting a bit too loud for this to be a secret! If we get caught there's gonna be more trouble. (And Possible abuse.)" Leo said, hissing the last part under his breath.

"I heard that!" Frida hissed.

"Come on let it go! We're just here to have Pizza and watch a show about a Half-Alien boy and his sentient space rock family and dad live their lives."

"Well, I Don't even want the stupid Pizza!" Frida growled, turning away from it all.

"Fridaaaaaaaaaa" The Pizza worms called to her waving hypnotically. "Friiiiiiddaaaaaaaaaaaaa."

Frida felt her stomach twist on itself and groan loudly. She turned to it. Her pupils immediately dilating as she grabbed the whole Pizza. Her mouth opened wide as she began lifting it towards it.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Mikey yelped, grabbing her wrists. This snapped her out of it. She immediately noticed despite his anger toward her he gripped them gently making her place the Pizza back down and carefully pushed her away a little. He then grabbed three big slices of the Creepy supreme and placed them on a plate. which he then handed to Frida. "Let's take it slow, okay?" he asked gently. She glared at him but took the plate gratefully.

"Thank you." she muttered sitting down and began eating.

Tiger Claw followed from above watching the Mud Dogs as they approached the crater that once held the Yokai Religious site.

Lenard began trying to climb down the side of the Cliff as Heinous jumped down below them without so much as a scratch. Danny and Mickey followed struggling as Tiger Claw snuck closer to the edge as he did, he gasped in shock. The entire area was now a pit of sorts with many Orichalcum Crystals all over the place. All sticking up now growing into the ground from where Empyrean had been splashed around.

Tiger Claw remembered the running theory of Orichalcum. How it was crystalized Empyrean after being struck with intense energy. And none of this was here before the battle with the Shredder. "Did we do this!?" Tiger Claw immediately jumped down rushing forward to chase after the Mad Dogs and getting to the bottom.

As he landed on the ground, he noticed something: A large river of Empyrean carved into the ground from what looked like the Statue. Which now looked like to his surprise a spaceship. "What?" Tiger Claw asked squinting at it.

"How the Hell does Frida make this look so easy!?" He heard Lenard shouted then there was a distinct crack in rock sound. This was then followed by a trio of screams. The Three Mud Dogs were now bouncing down the side of the cliff and into the top of an Orichalcum cave where Heinous had been patiently waiting for them.

"Oh, Look an Empyrean River…." Mickey muttered in a daze.

"You're Drunk Mickey!" Danny groaned.

X X X

"So, you're saying you now have the Power of Teleportation travel?" Moncrief asked.

"Yes, so we will not need a Spaceship to get to Adamantium mines." Krysta said as elegantly as she could. Mayhem then lit up and teleported them to the outside of the Crying Titan Sight. Which they began to head towards.

"Fascinating!" Moncrief gazed in awe seeing that they were now far from the city they were in. Just before nudging Casey playfully. "You're gonna be out of a job soon eh Ava."

Casey let out a disgruntled grunt. She looked Moncrief older before leaning to April to whisper.

"Do you know if all old people get this obnoxious in their old age?" Casey asked.

"He's actually eight years younger than Splinter. Remember we just gotta get him out of here." April replied.

"By the way little Robot." He suddenly said to Shelldon. "You're an assistant droid have you noticed any missing scientist? Perhaps yours has gone missing."

"Ahh no?" Shelldon asked hiding the fact he was offended by that. But also surprised by the information.

"Missing Scientists?" April asked.

"Yes, several of them have been disappearing all over. Starting about a few weeks ago! I Was investigating when the evil Cheetah Alien attacked me." Moncrief replied.

"Yeah, I think remember hearing something like that in the News." Krysta hissed to April and Casey. "Jupiter Jim perhaps you should tell us more so I can protect the Scientist of my Planet?"

"Good idea!" Moncrief replied his eyes going on focused again as he smiled. "All of these scientists were ones that worked in the field of Combustion theory, mechanics and Hydro Dynamics."

"Really…." Krysta replied. "That almost sounds like stuff for a big bomb…..and if Draxum's with him then-" Krysta was suddenly caught up by Casey stopping them and gasping in awe. They stared in awe.

"Is that all Orichalcum!?" Casey yelped.

"By the Stars! Chrome Dome is definitely around here somewhere! Come! We must search for the Adamantium Mines! JUPITER JIM AHOOOOOYYYYY!" he shouted, jumping down and sliding down the nearby slope.

"Wait!" April gasped as she bit her nails. Fortunately, the crazy Movie star was safe jumping down. However, as they raced in after him. They suddenly began to hear a bunch of roars. Some of which belonged to Tiger Claw.

"What's going on?!" Krysta asked as Shelldon began to fly up into the sky. He searched around a bit before noticing Tiger Claw fighting with Heinous. He also saw Moncrief rushing towards them.

"Uh oh!" Shelldon yelled calling back to the others. "Tiger Claw's fighting with those Mud Dog guys! And Moncrief is going to join the fight!"

"Not good!" Krysta hissed as everyone rushed after Shelldon who lead them to the fight. Tiger Claw was able to pick up Heinous and throw him down and knock him out.

"Electric attack incoming prepare to absorb!" Tiger Claw's Armor suddenly said as Mickey unleashed a stream of electricity at Tiger Claw however the Indigo lights on his armor lit up bright as the electricity hit Tiger Claw's armor but it didn't do much beyond make a current around him before being swallowed inside the machine.

"Power increase by thirty precent!" said the Armor to Tiger Claw.

"WHO HOOO! That's Donnie's engineering for ya!" Shelldon cheered as he jumped down and then landed a rotating punch on Mickey where his torso spun with his arms out. Shelldon admired his work looking back on Mickey. Dastardly Danny however jumped up with a crowbar however Jupiter Jim was already in the area and landed a punch in the side of the Rat Yokai's Jaw and sent him crashing into the Ogre man.

"Dude watch the hair!" Lenard snapped.

"With what control!?" Danny hissed.

"Stay back sidekick! Let a real hero handle this!" Moncrief declared as he took a fighting stance.

"SIDE KICK!?" Shelldon shouted. "EXCUSE YOU! I CAN FIGHT-"

"Shelldon!" Tiger Claw hissed at him through his communicator making the Robot grumble and march off stomping as he went. Grumbling a lot like Donnie would. Small puffs of steam rocketed from the holes at the side of his head.

"So, you have run into some local thugs, in this sad little abandoned Adamantium mine! How convenient for me!"

"Chrome Dome!" Jupiter Jim snarled.

"So do we know either of these cooks?" Mickey asked his three companions as Heinous sat up coming too.

"I think one of them sounds like that Tiger Claw guy." Lenard muttered rubbing his chin.

"JUPITER JIM AHOOOOYYYYY!" he shouted doing a flying kick towards Tiger Claw which he grabbed and spun him around throwing him back.

"TC! You're supposed to let him win so he'll leave remember?" April scolded over her communicator.

"I haven't forgotten. I just wanted one hit in." Tiger Claw replied as he let Moncrief punch him back. He skidded.

"RRGG!" Tiger Claw growled a little unconvincingly. As he and Moncrief grappled.

"Forget the Freak Show! Let's just grab some Orichalcum and go! We can get more later." Lenard said as he motioned to Heinous to pull up a large chunk of it.

"Damn it!" Tiger Claw hissed seeing this. Jupiter Jim gasped, turning to see this as well, slashing the chest plate on Tiger Claw's Armor to get away. Moncrief charged when he saw Lenard opened a portal.

"HALT FIENDS!" he shouted chasing after them tackling all three through with Heinous following. Tiger Claw attempted to go after them. But the Portal closed just as he passed over where it used to be.

"Damn it!" Tiger Claw groaned.

"NO! CURRRRSEEEEE YOUUUUUUU TIRANNO FAMILY! CUUUUUURRRSSSSEEEEEEE YOOOOUUUUU!" Casey screamed to the magically conjured heavens.

"Did they say anything about where they were going?!" Klunk cried.

"They probably took that chunk back to their hide out. But who knows where that is." April groaned. It was then she suddenly got a call from Sunita.

"That's oddly timed." Tiger Claw

"You don't think?" Krysta asked as April answered it.

"Chello?" April asked.

"Hey, April! Do you know a Guy who kind of looks like that Jupiter Jim guy?" Sunita asked.

"Yeah, we do! Have you seen him?!" April asked frantically.

"Yeah, he is kind of fighting with thugs and tearing up the Centaur Estates." Sunita said a bit nervously as Moncrief's battle cry roared in the background followed by some screams from the Centaurs as Casey noticed the Bent Pole arm she had used to save Splinter. She picked it up and strapped it to her back.

"We're coming Sunita, see of you can calm him down or something! Maybe help stop the thugs he's fighting and if he asks. You're the Jupiter Jim Character: Slimantha!

"OOoohhhhkay…" Sunita replied very confused.

"Long story." April deadpanned.

"Just be careful he's got like one of his space swords that's actually real." Tiger Claw called loudly gesturing to the large slash in his chest plate which Shelldon was changing out before sending the old one off. "What are you doing."

"I don't like him either. He called me a sidekick which I'm not SCOFF!" Shelldon huffed. "But's Donnie's probably gonna want that framed. It's even got solar energy fragments on it. How'd he make it."

"Part of me says I should find out. The other half I don't want to know." Tiger Claw sighed. Mayhem teleported them to the area. It was a beautiful looking area with elevators and Ramps to get to higher floors rather than stairs.

There was lots of stable-like areas. As well as large houses with stable and barn doors. Moncrief crashed into one and dodged another blow by Lenard who had managed to take the Solar Saber. And was now trying to stab Moncrief.

"SURPRISE!" Sunita suddenly shouted, jumping in front of him and exploding. Lenard yelped as she exploded around him. Startled but now furious Lenard went to stab one of her pieces.

However, Mayhem teleported Krysta and April in front of him. Both unleashed a punch on him sending him flying back. Krysta also quickly froze him to the ground and grabbed the Orichalcum before Lenard could break free.

Mickey unleashed a barrage of electricity. But Tiger Claw jumped between them and absorbed it all. Mickey growled and unleashed even more.

"Stop you idiot! It's not working!" Danny called after dodging a blow from Shelldon. However, Mickey kept going until he was exhausted and out of Mana basically.

"Huff, puff, huff, puff…..Is that all….you got?" Mickey groaned only for Tiger Claw to push him down with one finger. Lenard then screamed and jumped at him. Tiger Claw merely put up a hand and grabbed him.

"Unleashing all stored electricity." Said the suit. Immediately Lenard was zapped and rendered unconscious. Tiger Claw tossed him on top of Mickey as Danny blanched in horror seeing as he was surrounded by the B-Team. One of which was grinning madly at him.

"Uhhh let's talk this out yah?" Danny nervously asked pulling at his collar.

"NAH! I CRAVE VIOLENCE!" Casey declared loudly.

"JUPITTTEERRR JIM AHOOOOYYYYYY!" shouted Moncrief as he tackled both Danny and Tiger Claw. Then tumbled down a hill.

"I wish to be Chrome Dome next time!" Casey deadpanned.

"Uhhh, we….will think about it." April muttered as Sunita and Krysta looked at each other.

X X X

The show finally ended as Steven sang a small, beautiful song. Frida right now was filled to the brim with so many emotions. A desire for acceptance. Sadness, love for her siblings. Longing and just things that made her want her mother to love her as she was….but didn't she already why was she thinking this? She was confused. "Listen you guys should go! It's late Big Mama will be coming to check on me any minute now."

"Finally, I thought you'd never ask." Leo said in relief opening a portal.

"Need some eye drops since you didn't blink while watching me?" Frida snarked.

"Ha ha, very funny! I'm the one that makes jokes BTW." Leo snipped.

"But you're not the funny one. That is me." Donnie boasted flatly. He smirked as Leo gave him a pouty scowl. Lizzie looked at Frida and hung her head entering the portal sadly with the twins right behind her. Mikey looked back at Frida.e with us…." Mikey offered now holding out his hand. Frida gasped but stepped away shaking her head holding a clenched fist to her chest. She was shaking. Mikey sighed and entered the portal bringing their garbage and movies with him. As it shut Frida lay back on her bed curling up tightly.

However, she was unaware of Big Mama who was much like a fly on the wall Ironically. Watching with rage her eyes narrowed. "it's time to remind you, where your loyalties lie my pet…." She snarled quietly.

Tiger Claw was now having to fight both Moncrief and Danny at once. He couldn't talk much trying to think about how to get both off of him and get Moncrief out of the Hidden City. Fortunately, the Police hadn't even seen him yet. But he could see some centaurs making the call.

He then heard chattering. Managing to adjust his head he saw Mayhem pointing to a seemingly empty doorway. Which he realized was a portal to New York City. Fortunately, Casey then came shrieking at them.

"VIOLENNNNNCCEEEEEE!" she screamed, grabbing Danny as the two began to fight allowing Tiger Claw to kick him into the Portal and follow him out he quickly saw they had ended up in a secluded place on the Brooklyn Bridge near the land. Time to end this finally.

"You're Weak Jupiter Jim. It's time you let a real ruler control this, Galaxy!" Tiger Claw boasted.

Moncrief was clearly exhausted from the day now. But he stood up. "Peace is my Primary directive! And if you intend to be a threat to that Chrome Dome. Then I say JUPITER JIMMMMMM AHHHOOOYYYYY!" he shouted kicking Tiger Claw back towards the edge of the bridge. He threw a couple of fake punches. Only for Moncrief to swing kick and whack him in the head. Tiger Claw let himself fall off the side of the bridge and angled himself towards the water.

"RAAHHHH CUUURRSEE YOOOUUU JUPITER JIM!" he cried in a fake dramatic wail as his disappeared diving into the water and getting out of Jupiter Jim's sight.

"You did it!" Krysta cheered falsely.

"Yes Peace has been restored to the Galaxy. But a Hero's work is never done. Farewell!" Moncrief shouted running off into the night. Everyone was smiling and waving. Until they were sure he was out of sight then promptly fell to the ground exhausted as Shelldon went to find Tiger Claw.

"That's finally done!" Krysta groaned getting off the dress and jewelry happily. As did Klunk and Mayhem, the former shaking herself out.

"Bad!" Klunk groaned.

"Hey guys come look what we found!" Shelldon shouted immediately flying back up to them. "It's totally Radical!"

Following Shelldon down they saw a small tunnel that they followed him into. Inside they found Tiger Claw looking around at an abandoned underground mall. Lit up brilliantly by the setting sun. Casting everything into gold.

"Isn't this cool! This kicks the crap out of the lair we have now! We should totally move here!" Shelldon cheered.

"Everyone's getting settled still!" Klunk pointed out. "Besides the New Lair's not that bad."

"Scoff! You only like it so much because you get to sit on the subway cars." Shelldon accused.

"So?" Klunk asked.

"Well look at the places you could sit here!" Shelldon declared gesturing up to the balconies looking down on them.

"It can be a backup and maybe something to think about in the future. But right now no." Tiger Claw said firmly as Shelldon slumped. "We should get back before anyone knows were missing especially Klunk and Shelldon."

"I hear that." April replied as they left. Shelldon paused looking back at the underground Mall and getting an idea.

"Donnie did say we should have a back up lair protocol….heheheh." he chuckled evilly to himself deciding to have his drones also fix it up during the night since most of the major maintenance they were needed for was done.

Krysta meanwhile hung back behind the group. Shelldon zipped ahead of her as she looked at her phone. She couldn't bring herself to respond to Mikey. "Come on you stupid idiot! Do you know how awful it is to just give him the cold shoulder! Even it's not on purpose you're gonna freak him out." She hissed at herself punching her head a little. "Stupid!" she growled to herself just wishing for some courage.
