I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Girls Night 4: The Return of the Revenge of Ghost Pair!
It didn't take long to get a response. Within hours everyone made their way out to Oaishu even with Carol and Mayhem. The council definitely looked disturbed by Casey's news. Everyone including the guard were sitting at a huge map table.
Leo glanced over at a blue dragon yokai boy a few years older than him. With gold rimed chest armor. A gold medal with a red jewel sash with a dragon breathing blue fire the Odachi Gunshin on his back brown hakama pants and his hair tied in a bun sticking out the back of his head with a dark red ribbon. And wrappings around his arms and legs, Satoshi did not seem happy to see them there.
Leo rolled his eyes at this. He was Co-Leader of the Mad Dogs (Name pending) now. He deserved some respect! Master Azulong the grandfather of Satoshi and Mona Lisa, a dragon Yokai, the same coloration and green eye color as his grandson. In a brown tunic and silver hakama pants and his hair and beard greying to show their age and tied back was finally the first to speak.
"Satoshi," he said looking at his grandson who straightened up. "We have no choice, whatever Dregg has said to you. I want you to ignore him. Now to business. No one knows where this key is. Our mission will be to find the Key and the Gothano."
"Gizuntite." Klunk said.
"I didn't sneeze, little one." Azulong corrected before placing his hand on a jewel on the map table. Immediately the lines in the map lit up and made a light that showed a cloaked figure with fur and shadowy tendrils the cloth around where it's face would be had a silvery tiny to it.
"Well, isn't he a handsome fellow." Leo jokingly noted.
"Ehhhhhhhh no." Lizzie muttered.
"Be serious, Elizabeth, Leonardo." Master Juto grunted. A pale grey lion yokai in a blue jacket with pale with a long back that split into two blue pants and a red slash. He had a black mane, with a grey goatee and stripe at the top of his tail. Hisomi a grizzly Yokai with four large scars on his face with a black and gold tunic with a dark bronze set of wrappings and a large belt of orbs nodded glaring into them.
"Sorry…" Lizzie muttered nervously.
Master Chikara, a grey wolf yokai with a white throat patch and hair tied up in a couple of loops and ponytail. Wearing a dark green rob with black shorts, green gauntlet armor and necklace. Began to speak next. "The Gothano is a creature that heralds the end."
"Like the Apocalypse." Casey muttered.
"Exactly." Chikara replied.
"Gothano is not just the herald. He is the instructor." Kon a Hawk Yokai with light teal feathers and a dark teal armor with a red diamond on the torso with a red duster and scarf. He had dark red tips on his feathers.
"The instructor?" Raph asked.
"Gothano seeks a dark individual to pass the information of how to trigger the world ending event to." Azulong replied.
"That doesn't narrow it down though." Shinji, a black cat Yokai with large glasses the Spear Byakko on his back with large leather gloves up to his shoulders. And brown pants with a wind themed sash and the signature medal of the guard.
"BEBOP AND ROCKSTEADY!" Cass suddenly shouted.
"What about them?" Asked Goku a black monkey Yokai with gold streaks in his fur and a with a grey gi a maroon belt and lightning themed sash. who wielded the weapon Inazuma the salmon and pink colored chain staff leaning on the table beside him.
"They were former members of the Foot Clan and they're still out there." Casey pointed out. "They would have information and be likely targets. At the same time, I have no idea if they kept up the search." Cass replied, crossing her arms.
"They were part of the rebellion in the future. A lot of mutants and people who were your guy's enemies did." Casey replied. Leo groaned while Splinter and Frida gasped quietly.
"Casey did they ever say anything to you about how the apocalypse began?" Master Juto asked him.
Casey hummed crossing his arms. "Not really. When I lost my mom, they comforted me about losing their father figures. They also apologized to me for the apocalypse once."
"Hmm," Azulong hummed knowingly.
"Yeah, that sounds like they caused it." Leo muttered pointedly.
"Right," Casey sighed clearly thinking about how his former allies would not be as such here.
"Then we can add finding these two, to the list of objectives. We'll begin preparations for now we need everyone to be on standby."
"Good thing I just graduated and got the East Laird secret blown up." April sighed.
"If we don't save the future, you won't be able to blow that secret." Tiger Claw noted.
"So, what do we do while we wait?" Krysta asked.
April hummed thoughtfully, just then though her phone rang. She grinned holding it up. "Sunita just won a trip to Oaishu!"
"Shut up really?!" Krysta asked excitedly, her tail wagging. She read the screen. "Ohmigosh!" she cheered. "We gotta have a night here!" Krysta squeed.
"I'm in!" Mona cheered.
"Me too!" Klunk declared.
"I know I'm calling Sunita to meet us with us!" April replied texting her. "Hey Liz-" April looked around and suddenly found the pink turtle was gone along with her brother and sister who had taken off as soon as the meeting was done.
"Casey!" Krysta called, now getting an idea of her own.
"Yes?" Casey asked.
"Yes?" Cass asked.
"Ohh uhhhh how do we refer to you guys?" Krysta asked.
"Oh uhhhhh…..I'm technically Casey Jr. so…maybe just."
"That reminds me….." Cass glowered. "Why is your name the same as mine?!" she asked practically over him now as Casey bent back like he was doing the limbo. "I told you THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!"
Casey sweat as Krysta pulled Cass back. "Easy! Let the poor man speak!"
"Yeah….." Casey muttered, taking a breath. "The reason we have the same name. Is because you are my mom…."
"WHAT!?" everyone shouted in shock.
With Donnie he felt a chill under his battle shell and looked out in the distance. "Donnie?" Mikey asked.
"I just felt the death of the space-time continuum." Donnie muttered seriously.
"I mean, Casey might be our Casey's son." Leo said nonchalantally. "Maybe she just found out."
"What makes you say that!? Donnie gasped.
"Same name, knew who we are. Also, they have similar features. Anywhizzle any idea where this fight club might be Miguel?"
Mikey hummed looking up at the map. "Okay looks like it's in the Dragon district. From what I know Oaishu likes to hold all it's fighting clubs and dojo's in one place. Neat and organized."
"Then let's go Mad Dogs! We've gotta catch Frida's match! This is our most important mission yet!"
"What about saving the future?"
"That too! Roll out!" Raph declared. As Mikey pointed in a direction determinedly, they rushed in that direction. Unaware they were being watched.
By both a polar bear mutant in an orange and black luchador outfit and a salamander girl in a similar female luchador outfit watched from the bushes listening intently before both laughing maniacally.

Cass began to sob wildly. "I threatened my baby!" she wailed.
"Isn't he two years older than you because of time travel?" Krysta asked.
"Wait, you met her son from the future?" Sunita asked. "Never dull moment obviously." She sighed.
"Nope not at all." April added. "But we're not worried about that tonight."
"Yup tonight we explore the night life of the greatest Yokai city of the world!" Mona boasted. "Oaishu! Follow me girls!"
"What about Sacred Guard stuff?" April asked.
"Grandpa is lettings us take the night off. And I'm going to take full advantage of that." Mona declared Once that was done Mona began to take them around to various areas. First stop was a mystic ice cream shop that had various magical ice creams.
April got one that glowed. Cass got one she had to wrestle with shouting out Hamato clan as she began combat with it. Mona got ice cream that was on fire. Klunk a fish flavored one and Krysta one with edible jewels.
"No unnaturally warm ice cream, right?" April asked before biting into hers.
"Don't worry I got the only weirdly textured one in the store so you're safe." Mona assured as they headed out. Heading to various arcades and Mona pointed out her favorite cybercafé. Hudie, one of her friends worked there.
"What's in the VIP Room?" Krysta asked as she was going to knock on it unaware her phone was beginning to glitch as Mona quickly grabbed her and pulled her back.
"Nothing important!" Mona said quickly. "Okay let's get some sushi!"
"No! We should get Ramen! You can have fish in ramen!" Cass argued.
"Not really just shrimp! I'm in the mood for some fresh salmon." Mona snapped.
"Hot salmon can be fresh!" Cass snapped.
"Raw Salmon hits different." Mona snapped back glaring at her.
"Heh! I highly doubt that!" Cass growled pressing her face against Mona.
"You've never had quality sushi!" Mona snapped doing the same.
"RAMEN!" Cass shouted.
"SUSHI!" Mona snarled.
This went on for a bit as April karate chopped both making them yelp. "April O'Neil!" she declared as the two got sat down to figure out a dinner plan maturely.

Casey had just gotten out of the bath and wore some more comfortable clothes as his armor was currently being sanitized and scrubbed. He was wearing a set of grey and dark silver pants and shirt. As he entered the room. He could hear the council talking. Though his thoughts were on his bath.
"It feels weird and a bit wasteful to use water like that…." Casey thought to himself. He then looked out towards the ocean across the floor he was at. "And yet, there's so much….there's a lot riding on my success…." Casey muttered.
"I defeated the Gothano near El Dorado." He heard Master Azulong said looking over the map with the rest of them even Mayhem who was sitting on the table but had his eyes glued to the map. "But there's no guarantee it has remained there."
"The mystic detectors we laid are picking up dark energy signatures in Italy as well as Canada and Egypt." Chikara pointed out.
"All the energy signatures are near both Yokai and Human settlements." Juto added.
"Amazing…" Casey breathed. "So, people all living on the surface….In the sun!" The Masters all looked nervously at each other.
"And we need to keep it that way." Master Azulong replied.
"That's why I'm here." Casey declared. "I'll help you anyway I can!"
Azulong nodded as they began to plan and discuss.

The Dragon District looked a lot like the temple district in Tokyo. Many temples and ritualistic but there was a more agro energy to it. "Okay Frida's gotta be in one of these temples somewhere. Do we know which fighting dojo she signed up for?" Raph asked.
"I think it was the Fire Pit?" Leo muttered. Mikey scanned the map.
"The Agni Kai ring?" Mikey asked.
"Yes, that was it!" Leo shouted grinning.
"Okay to get there-" Suddenly a burst of fire flew at Mikey hitting the map as he flinched and jumped back. "MY MAP!" Mikey cried.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" the turtle siblings cried as there was suddenly a duo of laughter.
Jumping out where Ghost Bear and his Wife Ghost Pepper much to Raph's shock. "Hahaha! Now you will never get to the match you want to watch!" he growled.
"Why are you doing this to one of your fans?!" Raph cried in betrayal as everyone else, minus Lizzie rolled their eyes.
"Because you Tortugas ruined my wrestling career!" Ghost Bear growled.
"And our wedding!" Ghost Pepper added.
"That wasn't us! That was Big Mama! She's the one that kidnapped you and Meat Sweats!" Mikey argued.
"But she is not the one that crashed our wedding. Used it for social media. And endangered it by sending us a black hole toaster!" Ghost Pepper pointed out snippily.
"Fair enough." Mikey replied.
"Wait when was all this!? Where were we!?" Leo asked confused.
"I don't know about you, but I was working on security for my new inventions and supplies." Donnie replied simply.
"I was trapped in the Twilight Realm." Lizzie added.
"Yes, those are words." Ghost Bear mumbled at her before smiling evilly. "But you will never find the Agni Kai ring now that my Beloved has burned your map!"
Lizzie suddenly gasped. "Guys I can use my Powers to find Frida!"
"Hey yeah! We don't need a map!" Mikey cheered.
"Run before they stop us!" Leo shouted, pointing at Ghost Pair as the turtles immediately took off running.
"Powers that track things!? Is that even allowed in reality!?" Ghost Bear stuttered.
"Questions for later my love! AFTER THEM!" she shouted as the chase began. The group began running through the Dragon District as the group jumped over several benches across the nearby park as Mikey wrapped up a trash can with one of his nun chucks and threw it. It had landed squarely on Ghost Pepper's head.
There was a growling as Mikey slowly began to back away as Ghost Pepper let out a yell as she exploded the can off herself and began smelling of burnt garbage. Mikey screamed as he ran from her blocking all her fire with his own.
Ghost Bear then snarled at Mikey lunging at him only for Leo to open a portal and send him into a nearby rice omelet. Ghost Bear, groaned pulling out his face as the turtles managed to put some distance between them.

April's group had found a restaurant that served a variety of food. So, both Cass and Mona would be satisfied. Mona ordered a large sushi platter, mostly salmon. And Casey a bowl of pork ramen.
Klunk got sashimi and Krysta a platter of shrimp dumplings. April and Sunita had the same dish of a combo. They waited as Mona just looked tiredly at the ceiling.
"Can I make a complaint?" she asked.
"Of course." Krysta said concerned.
"Stupid Dregg has been dragging us across the coals, ever since that stupid Gang war ended. Especially Satoshi. Saying they we're all failures, and we never should've been chosen by the weapons and that me and Satoshi are no better then stupid Bruce. And yet his ass getting caught is why we had to use a scalpel for that dumb war."
"Damn you Scalpels!" Cass growled in empathy.
"That's horrible! And you're exactly right why should you get in trouble for his mistake!" Sunita snapped.
"Yeah!" Klunk agreed. "Not to mention that thing about Bruce is just below the belt!"
"Don't remind me." Mona muttered. "I don't know what to do."
"Ya gotta tell the council this is borderline verbal abuse Mona!" April protested.
"I can make it, so he never verbally abuses you guys again!" Cass suggested somewhat sinisterly.
"It can't involve ripping off faces." Krysta replied, Cass grunted in disappointment in response.
Mona smiled. "This has helped, now that I think about it. My brother doesn't really have any friends outside of Shinji and Goku. And those two have friends that don't care about the guard thing. And now so do I. But not him."
"That's really sad." Krysta muttered.
"Yeah…" Mona muttered looking into her water.

The Turtles poked their heads out from behind a wall all their heads on top of each other's with Raph on the bottom. They looked around.
"Did we lose them?" Mikey asked.
"I do not detect the pungent smell of trash you put on Ghost Pepper." Donnie noted as he pulled down his goggles to try and find Ghost Bear.
As they felt safe enough to start walking around slowly. They noticed some of the fighting in the area there was a couple of outdoor fights of various fighting style. Even in the Xiaolin animal styles. Mikey and the others oohed and awed.
They then saw a burst of color and light and walked over to see a couple of Yokai using spells and hand signs to make bursts of energy and spells rush at each other. One seemed to be made of fire while the other countered with a mystic wall of water. Roots then came out of the ground, tripping up the opponent. Then came a pie which the Yokai that had tripped immediately pulled up a portal to dodge with sending it back at it's caster.
"They have mystic duels here!" Mikey said in awe. "From what Huggin and Munnin told me the idea is to outsmart rather than incapacitate. Which sounds fun! I could do that."
"Well I'd like to see how well this mystic battling would handle my superior science mind and tech!" Donnie noted.
"Move faster Pokey's!" Lizzie snapped trying to get them.
"Yeah, later. We have to get to Frida's match." Mikey agreed as he began moving again, much to her satisfaction.
"You've gotta check out the mystic duels. You have to outsmart your foes rather than beat them." They heard Mona say.
"Ugh more scalpels!" came Cass's voice next.
"Hey girls! Fancy meeting you here!" Raph noted.
"We just found out that Frida had entered one of the battle matches tonight so we came to see her." Krysta noted.
"Same." Mikey replied. "But-"
"EVVVILLLLL!" Lizzie suddenly hissed wildly pointing to the plaza below the one everyone was on. Everyone looked over and saw the Ghost Pair of Ghost Bear and Ghost Pepper looking for the turtles. They ducked before the two looked in their direction.
"They've been trying to make us miss Frida's fight all night!" Leo groaned.
"Why?" Mona asked confused.
"Long story." Mikey sighed.
"I got it! You guys get to Frida's fight. We'll handle things here." April replied smirking.
"Are you sure?" Mikey asked. "You wanted to see her too."
"I NEED TO USE HAMMERS!" Casey declared dramatically. "We will catch up!"
"And it looks like the security around here is getting lax since I stopped competing here." Mona replied nonchalantly as she cracked her knuckles. "Looks like I'll have to clean up."
"It'll mean a lot more if you guys are there. Trust me on this." Sunita replied thinking back to when she, Dale, Leatherhead and Carol had talked to her while the Turtles were in New Hampton. How she had wished for them to be at her recitals or imagined they were.
"Okay then we gotta move!" Raph declared.
"Go! Go! Go!" Lizzie added.
The turtles then took off to the Agni Kai ring as April and the girls looked over watching the pair carefully.
"I've got idea!" Krysta said suddenly. "Sunita feel like being a wave?" she asked as Sunita raised an eyebrow.
X X X
"Where'd they go!?" Ghost Pepper growled.
"Lookin' for someone?" Krysta shouted as she and April using a surfboard on top of Sunita in a wave form charged at them.
"APRILLLLLLLLLL O'NEEEEEIIIIILLLLL!" April cried out as Krysta shouted a battle cry of her own.
"ANDARE!" she shouted as the surfboard slammed into both making them cry out in surprise and pain.
"HAMATO CLAN!" Cass shouted as she kicked them both from behind.
The turtles meanwhile had quickly made it to the Angi Kai Ring. Quickly finding their seats as Frida entered the ring and got into a fighting stance.
"FRIDA!" Lizzie cheered, she turned and saw them there in the front row. Her eyes welled up with tears smiling as her opponent was announced.
A Puma Yokai came in cracking her knuckles and a few joints as she took a similar stance to Frida. They both wore the same outfits. A Gi that was colored the same as the corner they were in. Blue for Frida and Red for her opponent with red belts. They also wore padded helmets on their head, forearms and shoulders.
Frida immediately turned her focus back to the ring as the announcer began to speak.

Back with the girls. Ghost Bear recognized April and Krysta and charged at them. Krysta, using her eyes powers was quick to help them slide under her as April used her bat to launch Klunk in the form of a large heavy ball into Ghost Bear's chest as he was knocked on his butt.
"You two Chicas and Gato! You helped the Tortugas freeze me in ice!" Ghost Bear snarled before shivering at the thought. He then slashed at them as Krysta used an ice shield to block then before jumping up and landing a kick in the Polar Bear Mutant's face.
"You wrecked our Snow Jitsu!" Krysta growled as Cass and Ghost Pepper traded a few blows. Ghost Pepper went to grab Cass, but she rolled out of the way. Ghost Pepper then quickly whipped her tail up to slam into Casey's back, but she was quick to block it. As Mona used her own tail to make Ghost Pepper trip.
Ghost Pepper jumped back up using her hands as a Springboard and charging at Klunk who turned into a large snake to dodge her blows and then constricting around her. Only for Ghost Pepper to heat her body making Klunk shout and uncoil. Krysta was quick to cool her.
Ghost Pepper responded in kind by charging at the two of them. Krysta blocked her fire punch with an icy kick before grabbing her shoulders and gripping her arms as she flipped over the Salamander Yokai and slammed her into the ground.
Ghost Pepper suddenly erupted with a burst of flame that Krysta cartwheeled out of the way from.
"HAMMMMEERRSS!" Cass shouted, going in for a punch that Ghost Pepper rolled out of the way from. Expertly keeping her eyes glued to Mona as she did so.
"I know you You're the daughter of Bruce! Leader of the Masters of Barbarianism! How did some brat like you end up as the sacred guard!?" Ghost Pepper scowled yet there was a hint of mocking curiosity under her growly tone.
"None of your business!" Mona snarled at her. Smoke rising from her nostrils. She jumped up and landed a kick on Ghost Pepper sending her tumbling against the ground. She quickly got onto her feet and charged, turning into a fiery tornado that Mona had to be on the defensive against but April jumped in with her bat glowing as she swung it as hard as she could managing to break the flames apart and hit the Yokai in the gut and sent her flying.
Ghost Bear went to catch her. Only for the two of them to be surprised by Sunita exploding in their face. Then Klunk, who had turned into a copy of Krysta teamed up with her and trapped them in a ball of ice.
Mona took a huge breath sending the electricity into the orb and zapping them with her electric breath and making it explode as the two went flying and crackling as they went sparks flying behind as they went.

The bell rang instantly as Frida immediately began with a couple of quick jabs only for the Yokai to grab her arm with her tail and swing her down. Frida braced the hit with her shell before thrusting it into her opponent's chin. The damage may have been less then it would've been without the helmet, but it still stunned the Puma girl.
Frida quickly rolled out of the way of the Puma's attack, but she quickly struck Frida right in the plastron with a large open Palm attack causing Frida to almost ring out, but she had managed to keep her balance and stay in.
"She knows Tiger Style too," Mikey yelped. Immediately the Puma tried grappling at Frida trying to keep her at the edge of the ring with powerful kicks and a mighty swipe of her tail as Frida jumped out of the way.
Frida sent a punch at her face but the Puma blocked and sent another powerful blow to Frida who fell to her knees this time.
"Frida! Why doesn't she use her mystic powers!?" Lizzie asked worriedly.
"That's the rule of the dojo no mystic powers! Frida's on her own here!" Mikey whimpered. "She's fast but she might get overpowered pretty quick!"
"Yeah. But look at Frida." Leo noted seeing the Diamond back on the defensive and managed to roll out of the way of all the attacks. Frida began dodging constantly and cleanly keeping well out of the way of the Yokai even managing to get back into the center of the ring. "She's not exactly defenseless either."
"She might be trying to figure out what she can do. While keeping from getting anymore hits." Raph noted watching his sister carefully.
"Mikey!" Klunk suddenly shouted, running over to him and jumping on his shoulders to watch Frida. The rest of the girls soon followed.
"What did we miss?" April asked as everyone sat down beside them.
"The Match just started." Leo noted as Mona hissed when she saw the opponent.
"I'm not liking her chances. That's Shika a long time vetran here. And even I've had problems beating her." Mona muttered. "How's Frida been doing."
"She hasn't really made any hits. So far, she's been on the defensive…" Mikey muttered.
They saw Frida dodged out of the way of a paw strike just below her head. Frida managed to land a kick in her stomach. Making the Puma wince before diving at her. Frida rolled over he back and immediately slammed into her back with all her might. The Puma began to stumble Frida, however, then tripped her feet making her fall out of the ring as the bell.
Frida sighed in relief. The referee raised her arm as the crowd cheered Lizzie jumped wildly up and down screaming her names as the others also cheered for them. There were a few scowls but mostly cheers as the puma laid down seemingly a bit mad at herself.
"I shouldn't have thought it'd be easy." She said looking up at Frida.
"Don't be mad you almost beat me twice." Frida said holding out her hand for her as everyone cheered.
A bit later everyone looked at Frida's medal. "Its so shiny!" Lizzie muttered.
"You earned it." Mikey cheered as Frida smiled.
"Thanks for being there you guys. I was getting nervous and I didn't want to let you guys down." Frida muttered.
"Even if you hadn't won you wouldn't have let us down! We came to support you!" Raph said.
"Yeah, it's not about us it's about you." Leo added.
"Also, most people would've given up after taking one or two hits from Shika." Mona pointed out before smiling at Frida. "Looks like I've got a new rival."
Frida grinned back. "You really want me to beat you over and over?" she joked.
"We'll see." Mona teased.
"Good you already got the trash talking down!" Leo joked.
"Hey Mona think this place will allow humans?" April asked.
"Yes!" Casey declared shoving April down. "I will be the ONE TO BEAT SHIKA NEXT!"
"Uhh so said that'd be you?" April snipped pulling herself out from under Casey's arm.
"Me!" Casey snapped as they pressed their heads against each other growling as everyone chatted about possibly taking down the Puma Yokai and coming back amongst themselves. Frida smiled for once she didn't feel weird for liking this. She felt like she was normal. And her dream had come true.

Azulong found Satoshi training as hard as he could to the point of exhaustion and stood outside the ring where he was training. As Satoshi back flipped he gasped and turned to his Grandfather.
"You should be resting." Azulong noted to him.
"I can't." Satoshi sighed. "Too much is riding on my success."
"Our success but we must be clear and refreshed of mind, body and spirit if we are to succeed. Why are you so fixated on Lord Dregg's approval?"
"You know why. After what he tried to do. Nothing was the same after that." Satoshi muttered bitterly.
"I know." Azulong sighed heavily.
"Not to mention I have to redeem myself for not stopping the war." Satoshi added.
"Preventing and stopping are two different things. And you did help to stop it. And you prevented so much damage and injury in the months that Hamatos were gone. And I'm proud of you for that. You are a great leader and warrior."
Satoshi nodded if only to end the conversation, but he knew others in Oaishu wouldn't see that. All he could remember was his father's words while he was being taken away. The day he was chosen the day his life ended.
"No matter what you do." Bruce said. "You're my son! And that's all they'll ever see."
I might take a couple days off from writing to flesh out more outline and get some drawing done. Also I'm working for seven days straight so there's also that.
