Equestria Ninja Girls of Moo Mesaby Wildcard25ChaptersMoo MesaCowtown GuestsEvening ThrowdownThe Outlaw BixolioThe Cowboy and Cowgirl NinjasMoo MesaOne morning in New York city, the Rainbooms were in Applejack's truck, as A.J drove through the city. They looked around seeing the city was enjoying a time of peace now that Shredder and the Foot Clan were gone, no Kraang to cause trouble, or even new mutants. Sure there were the Purple Dragons, but even they knew better than to cause any real trouble in broad daylight. “Ah, New York, New York.” Rarity said happily. “It's a heck of a town!” Pinkie cheered. “And for once it's normal.” Sunset Shimmer put in. “Hang on, Ya'll. We're comin' up to the entrance.” Applejack warned them, as she made a turn down an alley. She pushed a parking garage button and the secret entrance to the sewers revealed itself, as she drove down it. Once in the abandoned subway system, A.J parked her truck and they scrambled out, “I wonder what the guys wanna show us that's so important?” Twilight wondered. “Knowing Donnie he's got something new cookin'.” Rainbow replied. “Doesn't he always?” Fluttershy asked. “Come on, let's go see." Pinkie said, as they followed the tunnel to the turtles lair. They looked around seeing no sign of their ninja friends, “No one's here.” Spike looked around. “Hello!” Twilight called, “Leo? Guys?” “In the lab, girls!” Came Leo's voice. So the group went to Donnie's lab and opened the doors. Upon entering the saw their turtle friends along with the Mighty Mutanimals. “Hi, girls.” Leo greeted. “Good to see you all.” Twilight said, as she hugged Leo. “Mikey! Leatherhead! I missed you guys.” Pinkie hugged her favorite mutants. “Same here girl.” Mikey agreed. “It has been some time.” Leatherhead agreed. “Hey, there, Fluttershy.” Slash greeted. “I'm so glad to see you, Slash.” Fluttershy smiled. “Hey, Doc, you using new polish on that helmet of yours?” Rainbow inspected Rockwell's helmet. “If you must know, yes.” Rockwell confirmed. “Hey, what's up, Spike, my dog?” Bandit Raccoon asked, as he and Spike slapped some paw. “Nice to see ya, Bandit.” he replied. Mona Lisa looked around, “Where is the Professor?” “Fugitoid's back at home feeling he needed some time to himself.” Sunset answered. “What could Fugitoid be doing all by himself?” Mikey asked, unaware back at Sunset Shimmer's place the android was dancing to some of the Rainbooms music on a CD while waving his hands in the air. "Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight!" Fugitoid sang. “Anyway, what's this big surprise you have to show us?” Twilight asked. “Well, after our countless dimension trips I’ve been reworking on my portal projector to check out other worlds.” Donnie explained. “I chipped in a lot with the upgrades.” Rockwell boasted, much to Donnie's irritation. “And we wanna test it out and wondered if you girls would be interested.” Donnie finished. “Well, after going to such different places like Gotham and all, I'd like to see where else you have in mind.” Rainbow admitted. Pigeon Pete got a look at the girls, “Hey, you girls are wearing your geodes differently.” Indeed the mutant pigeon was right. The girls were indeed wearing their magical geodes differently than just necklaces. Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Applejack wore theirs as headbands, Rainbow was wearing hers as a wristband, Sunset's was on her belt, and Rarity's was stitched to her shirt. “Why yes we are, Pete,” Rarity confirmed, “We've decided to accessorize with them.” “And so that they're not all hanging by our necks.” Applejack added. “I think it's good for you girls.” Leo admitted. “Thanks, Leo.” Twilight replied, as Leo smiled. “So we going to do some more dimension exploring, or what?” Pinkie asked excitedly. “Shouldn't we wait for I don't know, April or Casey?” Sunset Shimmer asked. “April and her dad are back at their family farm house trying to remodel and refurbish it.” Donnie explained. “And Casey's practicing for a hockey match coming up.” Raph added. “What about Karai and Shini?” Fluttershy inquired. “They're busy training some new Foot Recruits.” Leo answered. "And Keno?" Rainbow asked. "Working extra shifts at Antonio's." Mikey answered. “So it's just all of us?” Spike asked. “Pretty much.” Mondo replied. “Well, at least we got each other.” Fluttershy said. Donnie started setting coordinates for his portal device and projected a portal, “Alright, here we go.” Donnie said, as they entered the portal together. The mutants, girls, Mona, and Spike screamed as they flew through the dimensional limbo before reaching the other side. A portal opened above ground and they all fell through and landed in some alley, “Oh, wipe-out!” Mondo groaned. “Why can't we ever land softly?” Mikey asked, as they got up. “That's something I'd love to happen.” Came Rarity's voice. When the mutants looked over and saw the girls their eyes widened, “Uh, girls.” Leo began. “What?” Fluttershy asked. “What's wrong?” Sunset Shimmer asked. “You guys got an extreme makeover.” Bandit warned them. “What do you mean?” Rarity asked, before pulling out her compact mirror and looked at her reflection seeing she had the face of a pony and had a horn on her forehead. She gasped before letting out a high pitched scream. And it didn't stop there, the Rainbooms looked at each other seeing they also had pony faces and tails as well, while Twilight and Sunset had unicorn horns like Rarity, and Rainbow and Fluttershy had wings. “We're ponies again!” Twilight cried. “Actually, you look like Blade Swipe.” Mikey noted. The girls looked at themselves and saw despite their pony features, they still had the physiques of humans, including hands. “You're right. We're like pony mutants.” Sunset gasped. “Awesome!” Rainbow cheered. “No! I don't wanna be a mutant!” Rarity cried, as the other mutants scowled, “I mean, for you all it's good.” she said sheepishly. “Hey, Twilight. I feel weird here.” Came Spike's voice, as they saw Spike walk over. Surprisingly, he was walking on two legs, and his paws had fingers. “Spike, you're walking on two legs.” Twilight gasped. “Yeah. Sure feels different.” Spike admitted. “D, what's going on?” Rainbow asked. “Well, let me see...” Donnie tried to find an answer, until Fluttershy gasped. “Oh, my. I think you should all see this.” The group peeked out of the alley and were shocked. They saw they were in some western town, and what was more surprising, the residents there were all anthropomorphic animals. Mostly cattle. “Great Scott.” Rockwell gasped. “Where the shell are we?” Raph asked in shock. “We must've landed in some kind of alternate reality like Usagi's,” Donnie theorized, “Only this time the dimension we've landed in is some old western setting.” “I sort of feel at home.” Applejack admitted. “So what do we do now?” Spike asked. “Let's go mingle with the people.” Mikey suggested, as he was about to step out, only for Raph and Leo to pull him back. “Mikey, are you crazy?!” Raph scolded him. “What? They're walking animals, we're walking animals.” Mikey noted. “Technically you're reptiles.” Rockwell corrected him. “Point is, we're like them so we got nothing to hide.” Mikey made his point. “Still, we're in a western town. And we don't look like we're from around here.” Twilight motioned to her outfit. “Yeah, and if we went out there like this we'd be considered naked.” Slash said, motioning to Spike and the mutants who weren't wearing any type of clothing. “We're gonna need to blend in.” Sunset Shimmer suggested. “And I know just the thing.” Rarity smirked, as she already got to work. Soon enough, the Rainbooms, the turtles, Spike, and the Mutanimals all stepped out wearing cowboy/cowgirl attire, “Great job, Rarity.” Leo admitted. “Thank you, darling.” “Now we really look like we fit in.” Bandit checked himself out. “I feel ridiculous.” Mona said as she looked her attire over in concern. “Oh, nonsense, Mona,” Rarity said, “You look divine.” “I'll say.” Raph agreed. Mona blushed, “Well, if you think I look good, Raphael. Then I am ok with it.” “Come on, let's check this town out.” Rainbow said, as the group started walking around trying to keep it cool, but still received looks from several citizens. “Unbelievable. We get all dressed up and we're still getting looks.” Raph grumbled. “Maybe because they know we're not from around here.” Twilight whispered. “Where is here anywhere?” Slash asked. “Look there.” Leatherhead motioned to a sign. “Cowtown.” Sunset Shimmer read. “Sounds too on the nose.” Raph remarked. “I think it's clever.” Pinkie admitted. “So what's next?” Bandit asked. “Well, since we know what this town is called it's best to try and understand its history.” Rockwell explained. “And there's no better place to learn history then...” Twilight began. “Don't say it.” Rainbow cringed. “A library.” “Doh!” Rainbow groaned. “Well, Twilight has the right idea.” Leo admitted. “And it's right over there.” Donnie motioned to the town library. “Then let's go.” Slash said, as they pressed on. Later on inside the library, the group was sitting at a table looking bored, until Twilight and Rockwell came over with a big book, “We found the history book we needed.” Rockwell began. “Though I wish everything here was better organized.” Twilight sighed. “So did you find anything about this world's history?” Applejack asked. “Oh, we found plenty,” Twilight confirmed, as she opened the book to a specific section, “According to this, a long time ago a comet came down from the heavens and struck this land raising a mesa to the sky above the clouds.” Rockwell continued, “And everything atop the mesa had underwent a type of mutation resulting in the anthropomorphic animals we saw outside.” “So that comet was some kinda mutagen comet?” Mikey asked. “In a sense yes,” Twilight admitted, “Over time the animal folk that mutated started adapting into society creating their own community here. And the mesa was from then on called Moo Mesa.” “Moo Mesa?” They asked. “That sounds even more on the nose.” Raph said. “Well, at least we're not dealing with evil magical wolves.” Leo replied, while recalling the evil Wolf named Jei. “So what do we do now?” Mona asked. “I'd like to look around some more,” Rarity suggested, "See how these western folk like to accessorize." “Yeah. Let's see how these folks live it up here compared to home.” Applejack agreed. Suddenly they heard a commotion outside, and they went out to scope it out. They saw causing a ruckus was a bunch of frog men dressed as outlaws. They were running around shooting stuff only instead of bullets coming out of their pistols it was all card symbols like spades, clubs, diamonds and hearts. “Looks like we got us a throw down here.” Applejack gasped. “Should we do something?” Mondo asked. “I don't know if it's our place to get involved.” Leo said unsure. “Come on, Leo,” Raph playfully slapped his shoulder, “We're here. There's danger. Let's do something about it.” “Ninja Cowboy style.” Mikey added. Leo sighed knowing there was no arguing with them, “Alright. But we have to be careful.” “No problem.” Pinkie said, as the group armed themselves. The outlaws were carrying some safes filled with money, and were loading them up in a wagon, “Let's get getting' on out of here fast.” one of the outlaws told the others. One of the outlaws in the wagon grabbed the reins of the horses, but were suddenly cut by a kunai. The horses took off, leaving the outlaws stranded with their wagon. They looked ahead seeing the heroes, “Leavin' so soon, partners?” Sunset asked with a western accent. “It's rude to just pick up and leave, you know?” Rarity asked. “Who in tarnation are ya'll?” one of the outlaws asked. “We're the guys about to send ya to the big house.” Slash warned them. “That's right du-I mean, partners.” Mondo added. “Take 'em!” the lead outlaw called, as the rest of them started opening fire on the heroes who spread out. Leo jumped in and used his swords to slice some of their guns in half, while Twilight used her magic to levitate others out of the outlaws hands. “Yee-haw!” Applejack called, as she dodged some of the ammo and delivered a powerful kick to one outlaw making him land right into a barrel. Bandit jumped from a roof and landed on one of the outlaws heads and blinded him by pulling his hat down so low it covered his face, “Who turned out the lights?!” the outlaw stumbled around as Bandit clung to his head snickering. Donnie used his bo-staff to trip some of the frog men off their feet, as Mikey swung his chucks around nailing some in the head. Raph and Mona were tag teaming against two more outlaws using hand to hand combat, “This is certainly unlike any kind of fight I've ever been in.” Mona admitted. “Well, it still makes for a good experience.” Raph admitted. As more outlaws tried to grab more safes, Leatherhead dropped in and roared at them. The outlaws dropped the safes and ran for their lives. Pinkie grabbed some sprinkles, “Here's a little something from me.” she threw the sprinkles at some outlaws that exploded. The crooks were blinded by the explosions, allowing Rainbow and Mondo to zip over and wrap some of them up with a lasso. “Oh, yeah!” Rainbow and Mondo high fived. As Rarity was using her diamonds for shields she saw one outlaw was about the shoot her friends, “Rainbow! Mondo! Look out!” The two looked and saw the outlaw about to shoot them, only for his pistol to get shot out of his hand. The group looked over and saw three more figures enter the fray. All three were actual Cow Boys. One of them who was wearing a badge on his chest looked like an orange furred cattle, the second was a strong blue bull, and the third was a skinny black and white colored cattle. The cow with the badge blew some smoke away from his pistol and spoke, “Looks like the party started without us.” “Eeyup.” the blue bull answered, making A.J blink as if she saw her older brother. “Well, that's a bust.” the third cow groaned. “It's Marshal Moo Montana!” an outlaw cried. “Right you are,” the supposed marshal confirmed, before turning to the heroes, “Mind if we join in at the last minute, fellas?” “Uh, not at all.” Leo answered. To the heroes surprise, the three cowboys made quick work out of the rest of the outlaws with the marksmanship, lassoing, and strength. “Whoa.” Slash gasped. “That blue dude's probably as strong as Rocksteady.” Mondo said in awe. “These dudes are awesome!” Mikey cheered. “No kidding!” Rainbow cheered along. Suddenly the bandits were all rounded up and hogtied, along with all the safes filled with money they stole returned to the bank. The citizens cheered and applauded for the whole group, as Leo spoke up to the marshal, “Hey, thanks for the help back there.” “Not a problem, friend. Welcome to Cowtown.” The Turtles, Mutanimals, and Rainbooms knew this was going to be quite the experience they would never forget. Author's Note Here's what the heroes look like while they're in Moo Mesa Cowtown GuestsThe Mutants, Mona, the Rainbooms, and Spike had no idea their little excursion to alternate realities would lead them into getting involved in an old western showdown with a couple of outlaws, only to be assisted by three law abiding 'Cow' Boys. “Welcome to Cowtown, folks. I'm Marshal Moo Montana. And these here be my pals the Cowlorado kid.” Moo introduced. “Howdy.” Cowlorado greeted. “And the Dakota Dude.” “Hey.” Dakota greeted. “Nice to meet you. I'm Leonardo, and these are my brothers, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo.” “What up?” Mikey greeted. Slash spoke up, “Name's Slash, and this here's my posse. Leatherhead, Rockwell, Pete, Mondo, Mona, and Bandit.” “Don't stereotype my name.” Bandit warned them. Sunset spoke up, “My name is Sunset Shimmer. And these girls are my crew. There's Twilight Sparkle.” “Hello.” “Applejack.” “Howdy.” “Pinkie Pie.” “Nice to meetcha!” “Rainbow Dash.” “Sup?” “Rarity.” “Charmed.” “And Fluttershy.” “Hi.” “And I'm Spike.” the dog greeted. Cowlorado whispered to Dakota, "Do some of those gals have wings on their backs and horns on their foreheads?" Daokta noticed, "Yup." "Good, then it ain't just me." “Nice to meetcha,” Moo continued, “You did some fine work there handling these outlaws.” “It's kinda what we do.” Rainbow boasted. “You were definitely awesome there yourself.” Spike commended the Marshal, who got down to Spike's level and spoke. “Well, thanks, kid,” he playfully pulled Spike's cowboy hat down so it was around his whole head, “I appreciate the appreciation. But like it says in the Code of the West “If ya get a big head helping people. Your hat won't fit.” I like that.” Spike pulled his hat up and straightened it out, “You should tell that to Rainbow.” “So true.” Rarity agreed. “Hey.” Rainbow scowled. “You folks just passin' through?” Cowlorado asked. “Sort of, we've done a lot of traveling and stopped in for a spell.” Leo explained. “Well, you folks are welcomed to stay as long as you need.” Moo offered. “Indeed,” came a new voice. Everyone looked over and saw a purple cow dressed all fancy, “We in Cowtown pride ourselves in watching heroes at work.” “Who're you?” Slash asked. “Mayor Oscar Bulloney, at your service.” he tipped his hat. “Whoa, the mayor.” Mikey gasped. “We were just doing what anybody would do when it comes to making folks feel safe, sir.” Twilight explained. “Of course. Well, I best be moseying along. Enjoy your stay.” the mayor said while taking his leave. “So what do we do now?” Pete asked. “How about we show you folks around?” Moo offered. “Sounds good to us.” Donnie agreed. The mayor had walked into the sheriff’s office and called out, “Terror Bull!” a big red bull wearing a badge who was napping fell off his chair and onto he floor. “Yeah, boss?” he groaned, while getting up. “I'm afraid we have some trouble in our midst.” “What do you mean?' “Look outside.” The sheriff looked out the window seeing the group following the Cow Boys, “Huh, never seen them folks around here.” “I know,” the mayor confirmed, “They fight just as good as the Marshal. And I have a feeling they could spell trouble for us.” “So what should we do about it?” Terror Bull asked. “I think the Masked Bull should give our guests a little 'hospitality' so to speak.” the mayor chuckled. Meanwhile by the ranch, the cowboys were watching as several of the Rainbooms and even the turtles were trying to ride horses. Mikey was trying to hold onto his horse who was galloping too fast for him, “Aaah! Clothes line! Clothes line!” he got knocked off by running into the clothes line. Pinkie was trying to hold on, before she was sent flying off, “Wheeeeewhaaaaa!” Rainbow herself was holding on, only to get knocked off, “Stupid horse!” Donnie was riding his with no problem, “Hi ho, Silver! Whoa!” he ended up slipping off, “Oh horse!” he groaned. Sunset was holding onto hers, “Whoa. Whoa! Whoa!” her horse flung her off and she crashed onto the ground, “Oh!” she looked to the fourth wall, “Am I getting danger pay for this?” Raph was struggling to hold onto his horse, “Whoa!” he ended up falling off and landed in a water trough. He got up and chased after the horse, “Hey, horsey!” As Sunset got up while still in pain, Twilight and Cowlorado came over to her, “Somebody dial 911, if that's possible.” the girl groaned. "Thirsty?” Cowlorado offered her a cup of water. “Oh no. My hip.” she answered. “You guys never rode on a horse before?” the kid asked. “Not that rough. That's for sure.” Twilight groaned, while recalling she barely lasted a minute on one of the horses. Suddenly they saw Leo and Applejack riding by on their horses like pros, “Yee ha!” Applejack called. “Adios amigos!” Leo called, as the two rode around the ranch. “Looks like Applejack and Leonardo got it down.” Moo smirked. Sunset grumbled before speaking to Twilight, “No offense, Twilight, but Leo can be a big showoff sometimes.” Twilight chuckled nervously. Mona was struggling to hold onto a horse, “How can one expect to ride these things?” she fell off. “WHOA!” Mondo cried, as he held on for his life, only to get flung off and landed on the ground, “Oh, wipe out!” Fluttershy giggled, as she was feeding one of the horses, “There you go. Enjoy.” “That's some fine work there, miss,” Came a woman's voice. Coming over was a female cow dressed as a cowgirl, “It can be a gosh darn chore to get some of these fellas to stay still, even for meals.” “I'm just good with critters,” Fluttershy admitted, “And who're you?” “Name's Cowlamity Kate Cudster. I own this here ranch.” “Oh, it's nice to meet you. My name's-” “Nah don'tcha worry, none. Dakota there's told me all about you and your friends.” “That's awful nice of him.” Fluttershy said. “Yeah. He may look big and tough but deep down he's a softy.” the two chuckled. Moo spoke up, “Say why don't we all go to the Tumbleweed for a round of sarsaparillas.” “What they don't have soda here?” Mikey asked the others. “Actually, sarsaparilla is an early Root Beer.” Donnie explained. “Huh, could be tasty.” Mikey admitted. "It is." Pinkie confirmed. “I'm eager to get my drink on.” Bandit agreed. “We shall take you up on that offer, Marshal.” Rockwell said. “Then follow us.” Moo said, as the group escorted their guests off. As the group left, the sheriff under the alias of the Masked Bull along with his cowardly cronies Boot Hill Buzzard and Saddle Sore Scorpion were watching them from behind a boulder. “There they go,” Masked Bull began, before turning to his flunkies, “You remember the plan, right?” “Yeah, but it ain't gonna be easy taking all them folks out.” Saddle Sore noted. “Especially that big turtle and that gator. He looks mean.” Boot Hill said nervously. “Don't be getting cold feet now. We have our orders. And we're gonna stick to 'em. Got it?” Masked Bull ordered, as the two nodded nervously, “Then let's move.” the three tailed the heroes. Author's Note Scene of the group trying to ride horses was recommended by TMNTony who was inspired by the scene from the Third Movie Evening ThrowdownThat night back in town, the Cowboy Trio took their guests to the Tumbleweed Saloon. They entered and looked around seeing other folks from town gambling at poker tables, or at the bar having a drink. “How accurate for a western.” Rockwell told the others. “Come on. I'm parched.” Rainbow said, as they went to the bar. “A round on me.” Moo Montana said, as each of them was given a drink. “Mm,” Mikey said as he downed his sarsaparilla, “Surprisingly good.” Mondo let out a burp, “Excuse me.” “Well, howdy, ya'll.” came a woman's voice, as they saw a beautiful cow woman walk over. “Lily, top of the evening to ya.” Marshal greeted. “Same to you, Marshal.” Lily smiled. “Folks, this here's Lily Bovine. She runs the Tumbleweed.” Marshal introduced the ninjas. “I watched you all in action today,” Lily told them, “Ya got some fine skills.” “We do have a reputation going for us.” Bandit admitted. “So you run this whole place by yourself?” Applejack inquired. “That's right.” “It must be hard work doing it by yourself.” Rarity expressed worry. “Oh it's nothin' I can't handle. I may not look it, but I'm tougher than I look.” Lily told them. “And that's a fact.” Marshal agreed. “So how long are ya'll gonna be in town for?” Lily inquired. “Well, we're not exactly sure.” Leo admitted. “Really, we're just travelers.” Sunset explained, while keeping their secret safe. “But that doesn't mean we can unwind for awhile.” Pinkie said, as she downed her whole drink. Lily looked to the girls, “Strange things on your heads and backs. What kind of folks are ya?” The girls were nervous, as Twilight spoke, “Well, ya see...” before she could answer, the saloon doors opened, and bursting in was the Masked Bull, Saddle Sore, and Boot Hill. Several patrons panicked and took cover, while the ninjas were confused, “What's going on?” Fluttershy asked. “Who're these crashers?” Spike asked. “That there's the Masked Bull.” Marshal explained. “A real trouble maker around these parts.” Cowlorado added. “Eeyup,” Dakota agreed, “Same as his lackeys.” “I heard there was some newcomers in town, so I decided to see for myself.” Masked Bull approached. “You must be referring to us.” Donnie said. “You looking to cause trouble?” Applejack inquired. “I don't cause trouble. I rectify it.” Masked Bull answered, as he and his cohorts started opening fire all around. “Take cover!” Sunset called, as the group took cover behind some turned over tables. “Looks like we're having a throwdown tonight.” Slash told the group. “So much for a peaceful evening.” Mona sighed. “What can ya do?” Rainbow asked rhetorically. “Alright, team. Get'em!” Leo ordered, as they drew their weapons and went on the attack. “Boys, girls, please take it outside!” Lily called, “I can't afford to make this many repairs.” Slash barreled right at the Masked Bull knocking him out of the saloon, while the others fought the other two right out. “Let us dance!” Leatherhead called, as he and Slash engaged The Masked Bull who used his own strength to try and over power them. Saddle and Boot were trying to shoot at the others, but the Rainbooms and the Turtles quickly disarmed them, and they ran for it. Sunset looked over and saw Slash and Leatherhead at a stalemate with the Masked Bull. Wanting to help them, she jumped in and broke their stalemate before fighting the masked outlaw head on. When she laid her hand on his a surge of memories came flashing through her mind. She saw the Masked Bull was Cowtown's own Sheriff Terror Bull who had been conspiring with their Mayor for all kinds of injustice to Cowtown, it's citizens, and even the Cowboys themselves. Sunset pulled her hand off and frowned at the outlaw, “You traitor!” “What're you talking about?” Masked Bull asked. “You may have everyone here fooled, but I know it all. And I plan to expose you and your boss if it's the last thing I do!” Sunset called, as she attacked her opponent, before disarming him of his gun. The Masked Bull ran off in retreat, “He's getting away!” Raph called, wanting to go after him, only to get stopped by Sunset. “Don't worry, Raph. We'll see him again.” “How do you know?” “Because he's closer than you think.” she answered, much to Raph's confusion. “Everyone all right?” Marshal asked. “We're fine, Marshall.” Leo confirmed. “That was fine work ya did there.” Cowlorado said. Sunset spoke up, “Marshall, do you have any idea who the Masked Bull is?” “Not exactly, but I do know he's associated with someone in town.” Marshal admitted. “Would that someone be the sheriff?” Sunset guessed. “How do you know?” Marshal asked in surprise. “Because you're not far off. The Masked Bull isn't associated with the sheriff. He is the sheriff.” “What?” the ninjas asked. “What're you saying?” Rarity asked. “The town's sheriff is an outlaw?” Spike asked in equal confusion. “Yes. And he and the mayor are behind so many schemes that these guys here have been dealing with.” “That's some big words, Sunset.” Dakota said. “What proof do ya have?” Cowlorado asked. “You probably won't believe me if I told you.” Sunset replied. “Try us.” Marshal challenged. “This geode I'm wearing gives me the ability to look into people's memories.” “Are you pullin' my leg?” Cowlorado asked. “No. In fact I'll prove it,” Sunset put her hand to Cowlorado to see his memories. She took her hand off and spoke, “You really replaced Dakota's drink with a mug of spicy sauce?” Cowlorado's eyes widened, as Dakota turned to him looked ticked, “That was you?!” “Whoa-whoa, hey! Dakota, dude. It was just a joke.” Cowlorado waved his hands in defense. “How did you do that?” Marshal asked. “Like I said I have power.” Sunset answered. “And so do we.” Rainbow said on behalf of herself and the rest of the Rainbooms. “What you saw us do to day against those crooks was something only we can use.” Twilight explained. “You folks, really aren't from around here, are ya?” Cowlorado asked. “We're a lot farther away than you think.” Leo admitted. “Then let's talk more privately.” Marshal suggested. The others agreed, and followed the cowboys. Later on, they were inside a barn sitting around with the Rainbooms, the ninjas, and the Mutanimals explaining the situation to them. “You mean to tell me, you fellas are actually mutants?” Cowlorado asked the mutants. “Uh-huh.” Pete confirmed. “And you girls are what again?” Dakota asked. “Humans.” Twilight explained. “And you girls draw on magic from those geodes you wear, while also using ninjitsu like your friends?” Marshal asked. “That about covers it.” Donnie admitted. “Well, I've heard some crazy campfire stories, but this tops it all.” Cowlorado said. “Uh-huh.” Dakota agreed. “So you comin' here was just an experiment?” Marshal asked. “Precisely,” Rockwell confirmed, “We had no idea the world we would end up in would be anything like this.” “You folks sure deal with a lot of darn crazy stuff.” Marshal said. “You have no idea.” Mikey replied. “Ok. So we got the details out of the way, what do we do about Sheriff Terror Bull and Mayor Bulloney?” Spike asked. “It's obvious we arrest them.” Rainbow stated. “Hold your horses, Rainbow,” Marshal calmed her, “Now we can't just go arresting people all willy nilly. Just because we know the truth doesn't mean everyone else will.” “And they're both the law here.” Mona added. “We need to find a way to catch the two of them in the act.” Leo stated. “That won't be easy.” Cowlorado said. “How hard can it be to actually catch the Masked Bull?” Rainbow asked. “Yeah, even his two flunkies were easy.” Mondo agreed. “Even so, we can always count on the Masked Bull or even the Mayor to have some scheme.” Marshall warned them. “So what do we do?” Leatherhead asked. Leo yawned, “I suggest we sleep on this and figure it out in the morning.” “Leonardo's right,” Cowlorado yawned, “I'm plum tuckered out.” “Come on, you can sleep above the saloon.” Marshal offered, as the ninjas followed their friends. Meanwhile, Terror Bull and the Mayor walked into the sheriff's office, with the mayor not looking happy, “So your attempt to defeat those strangers was a failure.” “Not my fault, three of us against all of them. No one could win against those odds.” the sheriff argued. Before the mayor could continue to argue, a voice spoke up, “Sounds to me like you fellas could use some assistance.” The two looked around the dark office, before Terror Bull called, “Who's there? Show yourself!” “As you wish.” Stepping out form the shadows was a grayish blue bull wearing dark boots, blue pants, a black shirt, a purple open trench coat, brown gloves, a red bandanna tied around his neck, and a purple cowboy hat. “Who're you?” the mayor asked in surprise. “The name's Bixolio, and I have a proposition you'd be foolish to pass up, Mayor.” The bull explained. The mayor was intrigued by this stranger and could tell in his confidence he knew what he was doing, “I'm listening.” Bixolio smirked seeing he had the mayor's attention. Author's Note Bixolio is a character from issue #52 of Tales of the TMNT comic book The Outlaw BixolioThe next morning in Cowtown, the ninja team was up bright and early getting in some morning exercise. The three cowboys and Spike were watching from the sides as each of the turtles, Rainbooms, and mutanimals. “Man, look at them go.” Cowlorado whistled impressively. “That's some fine combat they got.” Moo said. “Eeyup.” Dakota nodded. “That's my girls for you.” Spike replied, as he watched the Rainbooms spar. Raph and Leo were dodging Slash swinging his mace around, as Leo spoke, “Keep it up, guys. If the masked Bull makes a come back again we need to be ready.” “Especially since it's the sheriff himself.” Slash agreed. “How can nobody tell that the sheriff is the masked bull?” Raph asked. Mikey who was practicing with his chucks spoke, “I know. The sheriff's name is literally 'Terror' Bull. Emphasis on Terror.” Applejack who was sparing with Sunset Shimmer spoke up, “Way I see it, not many can read between the lines when it comes to a name.” Bandit who was going up against Pinkie Pie replied, “While I'm not one for stereotyping names, especially given mine. But this is another case.” “And let's not forget the mayor,” Mona added, while dodging Twilight's strikes, “Being of such high power and authority can get him around doing anything illegal and shady as long as he remains careful.” “If we continue to let such a corrupt person run this town who knows what he'll try to do next.” Leatherhead added. “I could think of a million things.” Pinkie noted. Their spar came to a halt as they overheard hooting and hollering in the distance, “What's that?” Mondo asked. “We better check it out.” Donnie said, as the group headed to see the commotion. They looked out and saw coming into town was the same cow the sheriff and mayor met last night while accompanied by more bull cow men like him. “Who is that?” Rarity inquired. “Never saw him before.” Moo answered equally confused. “Me neither.” Dakota admitted. “So why don't we give this varmint a welcome?” Applejack suggested. “Took the words out of my mouth, A.J.” Cowlorado agreed. The group stopped as the head cow stood his ground, “Howdy, stranger, what do they call you?” Moo greeted. “The name's Bixolio, and this here's my posse.” he motioned to his gang behind him. “Just passing through, I hope?” Leo inquired. “Actually, we was thinkin' of having us some fun in this here town.” Bixolio answered. “We love fun.” Pinkie smiled. “It's what I'm good at.” Mikey agreed, only to get smacked in the head by Raph. “Whatever you think is going to be fun, I believe will be the opposite.” Sunset warned him. “So we suggest you pack it up and move on.” Slash warned him. “Pretty big talk from a big guy.” Bixolio crossed his arms, “Take 'em, boys.” his posse charged into battle. “Get 'em!” Leo called, as the group went into battle. The ninja teams engaged the outlaws with their own combat, as the outlaws were either fighting up close or shooting at them. Fluttershy was dodging some of the shootings, until Slash stepped in with his back to the outlaws, “Slash!” she cried. “Don't worry, my shell can take it.” Slash assured her. Fluttershy looked at the outlaws shooting at Slash's shell, and loaded her blowpipe and started shooting at the cows but to her surprise bounced right off their bodies, much to her shock, “That can't be right.” Slash started to feel the pressure from the shots to his shell, until A.J and Rainbow Dash knocked them to the side. “Thanks, girls.” Slash said, as they joined back in the fight. Donnie and Twilight were fighting two outlaws up close, but looked at them and noticed something, “Does that look like hair to you?” Twilight asked. “No. It looks like... metal?” The two knocked the outlaws to the side. Donnie got a closer look and gasped, “I knew it.” Twilight opened up the shirt of the outlaw to see its whole body was metal, “A robot?” “Not just this one. I bet they're all robots.” Donnie suspected. Rockwell hovered in and looked, “Goodness. How does a outlaw in a western setting make robots?” “Why don't we ask the ringleader himself?” Twilight asked, as they turned to Bixolio fighting Leo and Moo. “An impressive display of combat, turtle.” Bixolio noted. “You haven't seen anything yet.” Leo said, as he used his swords to strike at the outlaw who was dodging. “Leo!” Twilight called, “These outlaws aren't real.” “Not real?” Leo asked, as he dodged Bixolio. “What're you talking about?” Raph asked, as he grappled with one of the outlaws. “They're robots!” Rockwell called. “What?” the group called, as they were each dealing with fighting their own outlaw. “They're what now?” Dakota asked. “It's true.” Donnie confirmed. Leo turned to Bixolio, “How does an outlaw cow get robots in a place like this?” “Wouldn't you like to know?” Bixolio sneered. “As a matter of fact, I would!” Leo kept attacked before using his sword to slice part of Bixolio's shirt off. The whole group suddenly became shocked. In the abdomen of Bixolio was a familiar brain alien that the ninjas and Rainbooms knew too well. “No way!” Mikey gasped. “Bixolio's a Kraang?” Rainbow Dash asked. The real Bixolio spoke to them, “You insult me by comparing me to those dimwitted fools!” “So you're still an Utrom?” Donnie asked. “Precisely.” “This is one of those alien varmints you've been dealing with?” Moo asked the ninjas. “That's right.” Leo confirmed. "Only we've never had to fight an Utrom not associated with the Kraang." Sunset informed. “How does an Utrom get from Dimension X all the way here?” Twilight demanded. “And why are you doing this?” Fluttershy asked in confusion. “My story dates back before Kraang Prime and the Hive Mind came to be,” Bixolio explained, “I was like the other Utrom. Independent and with my own mind. But I discovered how much more I could be. So I started getting involved in arms dealing with several other galactic crime lords and mercenaries.” Bixolio flashed back to times he sold weapons to such aliens as Lord Dregg, Armaggon, and even Newtralizer back when he was widely known as K'Vathrak, “When the Utrom Council caught onto my dealings they tried to have me arrested. Luckily I escaped apprehension, and came to this dimension with whatever technology I could salvage. I decided to make this dimension my new home and created new droids to mimic the inhabitants here. I made myself a new body and traveled all over the Mesa earning money.” “How can you live in this dimension where there's no technology at all?” Rarity inquired. “Because it's the last place the Utrom would ever think to look for me.” Bixolio chuckled. “Well, we're gonna fix that.” Sunset promised, as she readied her kunai. “Just try it.” Bixolio replied, as the fight resumed. “Come on, guys. Let's show these robo-outlaws not to mess with a turtle.” Raph said, as the turtle bros tapped into their medallions power and demolished them. When Bixolio saw he was without his army, he spoke sternly to the heroes, “We're not finished here.” he blasted off the ground from the rockets in his hooves and flew off. “He got away!” Raph grumbled. “But he will be back.” Sunset reminded him. “And no doubt he'll have more of those robot outlaws.” Rockwell added. “I can't believe a rogue Utrom's been living in this world all this time.” Donnie said in disbelief. “Glad we decided to check this place out.” Pinkie added. “Ok, team, we now know what we're really up against,” Leo began, “But with all our talents together we can take Bixolio down.” “Yeah!” the team cheered. “You can count on us to help you.” Moo offered, as he and his boys joined in. “I don't know, Marshall Moo,” Sunset replied, “This is beyond what you and your friends deal with.” “That's never stopped us before.” Cowlorado replied. “And not about too.” Dakota added. “And like the Code of the West says 'If ya can't help your buddies then your horns will be forever green'.” The ninjas looked to each other, and Leo smiled before answering, “Alright then. We'll do it together.” Leo and Moo shook on it. Unbeknownst to them the mayor and sheriff were spying on them and were not looking happy. Outside Cowtown in a secluded area, Bixolio was busy rebuilding his robots and making more of them, “Just my luck to run into varmints who know what I really am.' he grumbled to himself. “Indeed.” came the mayor's voice. Bixolio looked over seeing the mayor and sheriff approaching, “You're really not from around here at all.” Terror Bull snorted. “To think I agreed to work with some monstrous creature.” the mayor crossed his arms. “So you know I'm not what I appeared to be, so what?” Bixolio asked rhetorically, “You want the marshal and those strangers gone, right? That's what I'm here for.” “And yet you have not fulfilled that part of the deal.” the mayor noted. “A temporary setback, Mr. Mayor,” the rogue Utrom replied, “I had not anticipated these strangers knew about my species or could fight the way they do. But now that I know what I'm dealing with I can upgrade my posse so they'll be ready for next time.” “You best make sure you carry out your orders of taking the marshal, his cowboys, and those strangers out. Or you can forget about getting paid.” the mayor warned him, as Bixolio grumbled in kraang/utrom gibberish. Later that day back at Cowtown, the ninjas, Rainbooms, and Mutanimals were preparing themselves for when Bixolio returned. “Too bad we can't contact Bishop in this dimension.” Donnie sighed. “No sweat, D.” Mikey replied. “Yeah. We'll just catch Bixolio, take him home with us, and then let Bishop know.” Pinkie explained. “That is if we catch him.” Mona put in. “We have too.” Leo replied. “Agreed. He's been running around loose in this dimension for who knows how long.” Twilight added. “So he needs to face punishment for his crimes.” Slash put in. “And that's what we'll do, because we're awesome.” Rainbow boasted. “Ya got that right.” Cowlorado agreed. Meanwhile up on the saloon roof was Cody Calf, a kid and long time admirer of Marshal Moo and his posse and honorary deputy. He was looking through his telescope around town before looking out at the entrance of town seeing Bixolio, the Masked Bull, Saddle Sore, Boot Hill, and a battalion of Bixolio's Cow Outlaw Robots. “Oh, no!” he gasped, before climbing down from the roof and ran to get help, “Marshall Moo! Marshall Moo!” he called, as he raced over to everyone. “Holy your horses, Cody. What's the ruckus?” Moo calmed him. “I just spotted the Masked Bull and that outlaw from earlier coming this way. And they got a whole herd of hombres.” Cody explained in worry. “Bixolio and the Masked Bull?” Fluttershy gasped. “How's that for a team up?” Pinkie asked. “If we pull this off we can catch the sheriff in the act and catch Bixolio.” Donnie informed them. “Then let's make it count.” Mona said. “Let's take position.” Leo ordered. “Cody, stay here where it's safe.” Moo instructed the boy. “Spike, keep an eye on him.” Twilight ordered. “You can count on me, Twilight.” Spike saluted. The heroes went to the center of town while several citizens were taking shelter and laying low. When Masked Bull and Bixolio arrived with their extended posse, Moo spoke to the two, “Your law breaking days are over. Both of you.” “When we're done here the both of you are going to jail.” Leo added. “We'll see.” Masked Bull answered, while Saddle and Boot shake in fear. The Cowboy Trio armed themselves, as the the girls and the mutants, “Attack!” Leo called, as the two sides engaged. It was an even bigger battle than the one from this mornings. The ninjas were jumping around avoiding the shots the outlaws were taking, while Slash and Leatherhead barreled through them and tore them to pieces. Rockwell and Twilight used their psychic powers to disarm the robots of their blasters and the Masked Bull and his flunkies of their guns. “That's better I can hear myself think again without the shooting.” Twilight said. “Me too.” Rockwell agreed. Dakota grabbed a barrel and slammed it down on one of the robots trapping it inside. When it fell over, Dakota kicked the robot hard and the barrel rolled so fast it knocked several more down like bowling pins. “Strike!” Pinkie cheered. “Let's hogtie these varmints, Applejack!” Cowlorado called. “Way ahead of ya, Kid.” Applejack replied, as the two took a lasso and hog tied a group of robots together, before swinging them around and into each other causing them to blow. Mona was using her own combat skills with Raphael to take out some robots, “Not bad for an inter-dimensional date, huh?” Raph asked. “You really know how to show a girl a good time, Raphael.” Mona flirted. “Flirt later!” Rainbow called, as she zipped around causing several robots to attack another instead while trying to keep up with her. Rarity was using her diamond shield to repel some of the robots punches, before striking back with her sickles, “Never mess with a lady.” she said with a flip of her hair. Pinkie grabbed some sprinkles, “Bombs away!” she threw them up and it rained explosives on the robots distorting them. “Coming through!” Mondo called, as he skateboarded all around the robots who were unable to grab him. Bandit was jumping from robot to robot causing them to punch themselves in an attempt to attack the raccoon mutant, “Stop hitting yourselves!” he laughed. Leo and Moo attacked Bixolio and Masked Bull head on, with the two villains trying to keep up with their enemies. “How are you this strong?” Bixolio demanded. “Because we have something to fight for.” Leo answered, as he fought the rogue Utrom. “The only reason you two fight is to oppress others.” Moo added, as he grappled with Masked Bull. The whole town of people started hooting and cheering their heroes on, which was encouraging the ninjas to fight harder than before. “Dig that cheer!” Mikey called. So the Rainbooms and their Mutant allies plowed through the robots until nothing was left and even trapped Saddle and Boot inside a barrel together. “Your bots are down, and so are you!” Leo called to Bixolio, as he and his brothers worked together attacking the Utrom all around. “Now!” Raph called, as they combined their magical strength and broke the cow exosuit leaving Bixolio without a body. “I got to get out of here!” Bixolio tried to escape only for diamonds to surround him and form into a cage courtesy of Rarity. “Now this is a present.” Rarity smiled at the crystal caged Utrom. The Masked Bull was about to make a get away, until he was surrounded by a a magical aura and levitated over, “Oh, no you don't.” Twilight said, as she held him in place. “Now let's show you who the Masked Bull really is.” Pinkie said, before unmasking the outlaw revealing to be the Sheriff. “Sheriff Terror Bull?” a citizen gasped. “So it is true.” Moo frowned. “All this time!” a citizen said angry, as the other townsfolk were voicing their disbelief and disappointment. “Ah, phooey.” Terror Bull grumbled. Suddenly the mayor approached, “Well, done everyone. You caught these outlaws and saved the town,” he began acting pleasantly, which didn't sit well with the Rainbooms. The mayor turned to Terror Bull and spoke disappointed, “Sheriff Terror Bull I am astounded that you are the Masked Bull. To think our own sheriff would be the one behind all these atrocities.” Terror Bull frowned that the mayor was betraying him, until part of destroyed exosuit piloted by Bixolio projected a recording of his conversations with both the sheriff and the mayor. Everyone present watched the recording constantly repeat itself, much to the mayor's shock. Bixolio spoke to him, “Looks like you're not so innocent as you appear, Mayor Bulloney.” The townsfolk turned to their own mayor looking at disappointed at him than they were of Terror Bull, “Uh, this is all a misunderstanding.” The mayor pleaded, until Moo spoke up. “Give it up, Mayor. You've been exposed.” “It's clear you don't have Cowtown's best interest at all.” Leo added. “Just like my former principal didn't have my old school's best interest at heart.” Twilight added. Cowlamity approached with Lily, and spoke to the deceptive mayor, “You are no mayor to our town.” “And you will never be mayor of anyplace else.” Moo added. “What?” Bulloney asked in worry. “You and Terror Bull are going to jail.” Leo declared. "Not a chance!" The mayor tried to make a run for it, only for Sunset to grab a lasso. "You're not getting away!" and with that, Sunset lassoed the corrupt mayor and dragged him back over with the help of Slash and Leatherhead. The former mayor looked down in defeat, as Sunset Shimmer walked up to Terror Bull and ripped the sheriff's badge off his uniform, “You don't deserve this.” she told the villain. “Well, dudes and Rain-dudette's, we stopped the bad guys and saved the town.” Mikey began. “Which means it's time to celebrate.” Leo added, as the ninjas and Rainbooms announced. “Booyakasha!” Marshal Moo, Cowlorado, and Dakota looked at each other before nodding, and announced together, “Booyakasha!” “Nice.” Mikey smiled, as the group stood victoriously. The Cowboy and Cowgirl NinjasThat night in Cowtown, all the townsfolk turned up at the center of town where a stage was set up. The ninjas, Mutanimals, and Spike were up front, as Marshal Moo walked up front on stage and addressed everyone, “Good evening good folks of Cowtown. I am Marshal Moo Montana. Or should I now say 'Sheriff' Moo Montana.” he joked while showing off his new sheriff badge, “Today has been one strange and crazy day, hasn't it? But thanks to a group of new friends were able to stop one the baddest lawbreakers in the West, and expose two of our supposed officials were not who we thought they were.” Cowlorado came on stage and called, “Give it up for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! And the Mighty Mutanimals!” The group of mutants climbed on stage and started soaking in the applause, which Mikey, Mondo, and Bandit were soaking in. Moo continued, “And now let's give a big welcome for the third group of friends who not only also helped expose our former sheriff and mayor, but also set this whole thing up. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rainbooms!” The townsfolk cheered, as the curtains opened up to reveal the Rainbooms with western versions of their instruments, with Rainbow, A.J, and Sunset on regular guitars, Pinkie using barrels as drums, Rarity on an upright piano, and Fluttershy on tambourine. Twilight spoke into a mic, “Thank you, everyone. This is a little song going out to the trio of heroes of this town we're glad to call our friends. The band began to play as Twilight began singing first with the Rainbooms each taking a verse or in groups. The townsfolk were cheering and clapping along to the song while Spike and Cody were rockin' out. Meanwhile in the Cowtown jail, Terror Bull and Oscar Bulloney were in a jail cell listening in. “That is a catchy sound, boss.” Terror Bull admitted. “Quiet you!” Bulloney grumbled. Back at the concert the Rainbooms were ready to finish off. The townsfolk cheered their hearts out, as Rainbow took the mic and called out, “Thank you, Cowtown!” Later on as the hype died down, the ninjas stood opposite side of the Cowboys with Bixolio still caged, “Well, we better get on home.” Leo said. “It was fun meeting you all.” Cowlorado said. “Same here, Cowlorado.” Rainbow replied. “Will we ever see you again?” Dakota inquired. “You betcha.” Slash confirmed. “Absolutely.” Leatherhead agreed. “We'll come back and visit one day.” Fluttershy promised. “We'd very much appreciate that,” Moo said, as he offered a hand out, “Thank you Leonardo. Sunset Shimmer. Because of you we'll have a real mayor to think about the towns well being.” “And with you as sheriff we know you'll really do your part in keeping this town clean of crime.” Sunset said. “Just as we do with our city.” Leo added. “So any last minute pieces of advice before we go?” Raph asked the sheriff. “Well, Raphael, like it says in the Code of the West, 'True Friendships will always last Forever'.” Moo declared, as the group smiled in agreement. “Because Friendship is Magic!” Pinkie cheered. “Ok, guys. We're ready.” Donnie started the portal device. “Catch you later, Cow Dudes.” Mikey called, as he went through the portal followed by the others. Moo turned to his two partners, “Well, boys. I think we just got ourselves a new role in life.” “Ya darn tootin'.” Cowlorado agreed. “Eeyup.” Dakota nodded in agreement. Meanwhile at Donnie's lab, a portal opened up and out came the heroes. The girls looked themselves over seeing they were human again. “Yes! I'm extra beautiful again!” Rarity cheered. “And I'm back to normal too.” Spike said, as he was back on all fours. “That was some adventure, huh?” Mikey asked. “Indeed it was.” Leatherhead confirmed. “After today I need a nap.” Rainbow said. The door to the lab opened, and stepping in was April, Casey, Karai, Shini, and Keno, “Guys, where you've been. We were...” April trailed off as she noticed everyone's state of attire, “What the heck?!” “Did we miss something?” Karai asked. “Nice outfits.” Casey laughed. Shini looked down at the trapped Bixolio, “Is that a Kraang you have there?” “I'm not a Kraang!” Bixolio snapped. “What have you all been doing?” Keno asked. 'It's a long story.” Leo answered. “But we'll gladly tell you.” Fluttershy said. “Let me just text Bishop.” Donnie said, as he texted a message to Bishop, “He sure be here...” a portal opened up, “Soon.” Stepping out from the portal was Bishop, “Hello, my friends. I came as soon as Donatello texted me,” he turned his attention to the rogue Utrom, “Bixolio.” “Bishop.” Bixolio said bitterly. “Come on, guys. You're gonna wanna hear this.” Leo said, as they went to the den. Soon everyone was sitting around as the whole group told their New York human friends their story in Moo Mesa. “And that's when we came back here.” Mikey finished. “Dude, that whole world sounded wild!” Keno said excitedly. “Yeah. I would've loved to bust some outlaws Casey Jones style!” Casey pumped a fist up. “And you girls turned into ponies there like in Equestria?” Karai asked. “Well, humanized ponies.” Twilight corrected her. “I'm starting to wish I didn't miss out on it.” April sighed. Bishop spoke up, while looking at Bixolio, “All this time you've been hiding out in a dimension like that. Very clever, but not clever enough to avoid being caught by our allies the Turtles, Mutanimals, and Rainbooms.” “You don't have to rub it in!” the rogue growled. Bishop turned to his friends, “You have done the Utrom a great deal of service by apprehending this rogue. We will place him in Utrom lockup for his crimes. The council will be forever grateful to you as I am.” “It's what we do, Bishop.” Sunset replied. Bishop took the caged Bixolio and opened a portal, “Until we meet again my friends.” he went through the portal that closed. “Bye!” Pinkie waved. “I don't know about you guys, but I could really go for some deep dish action right now.” Mikey told everyone. “Good thing I came prepared.” Keno said, as he brought out some pizzas. “Keno, you're a saint.” Mikey praised him. “I know.” “Let's chow!” Rainbow called, as they gorged themselves on pizza. Soon enough it was time for the Rainbooms to head home where they were eager to rest and relax. At Sunset Shimmer's place, Fugitoid was frantically trying to clean the place up from the mess he made while throwing himself a party, “Oh, dear. Oh, dear! Why didn't I recharge myself earlier? I have to get this cleaned up before Sunset Shimmer comes home!” Suddenly walking in was Sunset who looked around at her messy room, “Professor!” she said in disbelief. “Someone brought pop rocks I swear I had nothing to do with it!” Fugitoid pleaded innocent. Sunset sighed in exasperation, “Whatever, I'm too tired to deal with this. I'm going to bed.” “What about your time with the turtles? Did something exciting happen?” Fugitoid inquired. “Tell you in the morning.” she yawned before going up to her loft and plopped down on her bed falling asleep. “Oh, well.” Fugitoid said, as he continued to clean the place humming Shake your Tail to himself. Author's Note And there you go. Short, but it was entertaining Hope you guys enjoyed it.
Moo MesaOne morning in New York city, the Rainbooms were in Applejack's truck, as A.J drove through the city. They looked around seeing the city was enjoying a time of peace now that Shredder and the Foot Clan were gone, no Kraang to cause trouble, or even new mutants. Sure there were the Purple Dragons, but even they knew better than to cause any real trouble in broad daylight. “Ah, New York, New York.” Rarity said happily. “It's a heck of a town!” Pinkie cheered. “And for once it's normal.” Sunset Shimmer put in. “Hang on, Ya'll. We're comin' up to the entrance.” Applejack warned them, as she made a turn down an alley. She pushed a parking garage button and the secret entrance to the sewers revealed itself, as she drove down it. Once in the abandoned subway system, A.J parked her truck and they scrambled out, “I wonder what the guys wanna show us that's so important?” Twilight wondered. “Knowing Donnie he's got something new cookin'.” Rainbow replied. “Doesn't he always?” Fluttershy asked. “Come on, let's go see." Pinkie said, as they followed the tunnel to the turtles lair. They looked around seeing no sign of their ninja friends, “No one's here.” Spike looked around. “Hello!” Twilight called, “Leo? Guys?” “In the lab, girls!” Came Leo's voice. So the group went to Donnie's lab and opened the doors. Upon entering the saw their turtle friends along with the Mighty Mutanimals. “Hi, girls.” Leo greeted. “Good to see you all.” Twilight said, as she hugged Leo. “Mikey! Leatherhead! I missed you guys.” Pinkie hugged her favorite mutants. “Same here girl.” Mikey agreed. “It has been some time.” Leatherhead agreed. “Hey, there, Fluttershy.” Slash greeted. “I'm so glad to see you, Slash.” Fluttershy smiled. “Hey, Doc, you using new polish on that helmet of yours?” Rainbow inspected Rockwell's helmet. “If you must know, yes.” Rockwell confirmed. “Hey, what's up, Spike, my dog?” Bandit Raccoon asked, as he and Spike slapped some paw. “Nice to see ya, Bandit.” he replied. Mona Lisa looked around, “Where is the Professor?” “Fugitoid's back at home feeling he needed some time to himself.” Sunset answered. “What could Fugitoid be doing all by himself?” Mikey asked, unaware back at Sunset Shimmer's place the android was dancing to some of the Rainbooms music on a CD while waving his hands in the air. "Shake your tail 'cause we're here to have a party tonight!" Fugitoid sang. “Anyway, what's this big surprise you have to show us?” Twilight asked. “Well, after our countless dimension trips I’ve been reworking on my portal projector to check out other worlds.” Donnie explained. “I chipped in a lot with the upgrades.” Rockwell boasted, much to Donnie's irritation. “And we wanna test it out and wondered if you girls would be interested.” Donnie finished. “Well, after going to such different places like Gotham and all, I'd like to see where else you have in mind.” Rainbow admitted. Pigeon Pete got a look at the girls, “Hey, you girls are wearing your geodes differently.” Indeed the mutant pigeon was right. The girls were indeed wearing their magical geodes differently than just necklaces. Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Applejack wore theirs as headbands, Rainbow was wearing hers as a wristband, Sunset's was on her belt, and Rarity's was stitched to her shirt. “Why yes we are, Pete,” Rarity confirmed, “We've decided to accessorize with them.” “And so that they're not all hanging by our necks.” Applejack added. “I think it's good for you girls.” Leo admitted. “Thanks, Leo.” Twilight replied, as Leo smiled. “So we going to do some more dimension exploring, or what?” Pinkie asked excitedly. “Shouldn't we wait for I don't know, April or Casey?” Sunset Shimmer asked. “April and her dad are back at their family farm house trying to remodel and refurbish it.” Donnie explained. “And Casey's practicing for a hockey match coming up.” Raph added. “What about Karai and Shini?” Fluttershy inquired. “They're busy training some new Foot Recruits.” Leo answered. "And Keno?" Rainbow asked. "Working extra shifts at Antonio's." Mikey answered. “So it's just all of us?” Spike asked. “Pretty much.” Mondo replied. “Well, at least we got each other.” Fluttershy said. Donnie started setting coordinates for his portal device and projected a portal, “Alright, here we go.” Donnie said, as they entered the portal together. The mutants, girls, Mona, and Spike screamed as they flew through the dimensional limbo before reaching the other side. A portal opened above ground and they all fell through and landed in some alley, “Oh, wipe-out!” Mondo groaned. “Why can't we ever land softly?” Mikey asked, as they got up. “That's something I'd love to happen.” Came Rarity's voice. When the mutants looked over and saw the girls their eyes widened, “Uh, girls.” Leo began. “What?” Fluttershy asked. “What's wrong?” Sunset Shimmer asked. “You guys got an extreme makeover.” Bandit warned them. “What do you mean?” Rarity asked, before pulling out her compact mirror and looked at her reflection seeing she had the face of a pony and had a horn on her forehead. She gasped before letting out a high pitched scream. And it didn't stop there, the Rainbooms looked at each other seeing they also had pony faces and tails as well, while Twilight and Sunset had unicorn horns like Rarity, and Rainbow and Fluttershy had wings. “We're ponies again!” Twilight cried. “Actually, you look like Blade Swipe.” Mikey noted. The girls looked at themselves and saw despite their pony features, they still had the physiques of humans, including hands. “You're right. We're like pony mutants.” Sunset gasped. “Awesome!” Rainbow cheered. “No! I don't wanna be a mutant!” Rarity cried, as the other mutants scowled, “I mean, for you all it's good.” she said sheepishly. “Hey, Twilight. I feel weird here.” Came Spike's voice, as they saw Spike walk over. Surprisingly, he was walking on two legs, and his paws had fingers. “Spike, you're walking on two legs.” Twilight gasped. “Yeah. Sure feels different.” Spike admitted. “D, what's going on?” Rainbow asked. “Well, let me see...” Donnie tried to find an answer, until Fluttershy gasped. “Oh, my. I think you should all see this.” The group peeked out of the alley and were shocked. They saw they were in some western town, and what was more surprising, the residents there were all anthropomorphic animals. Mostly cattle. “Great Scott.” Rockwell gasped. “Where the shell are we?” Raph asked in shock. “We must've landed in some kind of alternate reality like Usagi's,” Donnie theorized, “Only this time the dimension we've landed in is some old western setting.” “I sort of feel at home.” Applejack admitted. “So what do we do now?” Spike asked. “Let's go mingle with the people.” Mikey suggested, as he was about to step out, only for Raph and Leo to pull him back. “Mikey, are you crazy?!” Raph scolded him. “What? They're walking animals, we're walking animals.” Mikey noted. “Technically you're reptiles.” Rockwell corrected him. “Point is, we're like them so we got nothing to hide.” Mikey made his point. “Still, we're in a western town. And we don't look like we're from around here.” Twilight motioned to her outfit. “Yeah, and if we went out there like this we'd be considered naked.” Slash said, motioning to Spike and the mutants who weren't wearing any type of clothing. “We're gonna need to blend in.” Sunset Shimmer suggested. “And I know just the thing.” Rarity smirked, as she already got to work. Soon enough, the Rainbooms, the turtles, Spike, and the Mutanimals all stepped out wearing cowboy/cowgirl attire, “Great job, Rarity.” Leo admitted. “Thank you, darling.” “Now we really look like we fit in.” Bandit checked himself out. “I feel ridiculous.” Mona said as she looked her attire over in concern. “Oh, nonsense, Mona,” Rarity said, “You look divine.” “I'll say.” Raph agreed. Mona blushed, “Well, if you think I look good, Raphael. Then I am ok with it.” “Come on, let's check this town out.” Rainbow said, as the group started walking around trying to keep it cool, but still received looks from several citizens. “Unbelievable. We get all dressed up and we're still getting looks.” Raph grumbled. “Maybe because they know we're not from around here.” Twilight whispered. “Where is here anywhere?” Slash asked. “Look there.” Leatherhead motioned to a sign. “Cowtown.” Sunset Shimmer read. “Sounds too on the nose.” Raph remarked. “I think it's clever.” Pinkie admitted. “So what's next?” Bandit asked. “Well, since we know what this town is called it's best to try and understand its history.” Rockwell explained. “And there's no better place to learn history then...” Twilight began. “Don't say it.” Rainbow cringed. “A library.” “Doh!” Rainbow groaned. “Well, Twilight has the right idea.” Leo admitted. “And it's right over there.” Donnie motioned to the town library. “Then let's go.” Slash said, as they pressed on. Later on inside the library, the group was sitting at a table looking bored, until Twilight and Rockwell came over with a big book, “We found the history book we needed.” Rockwell began. “Though I wish everything here was better organized.” Twilight sighed. “So did you find anything about this world's history?” Applejack asked. “Oh, we found plenty,” Twilight confirmed, as she opened the book to a specific section, “According to this, a long time ago a comet came down from the heavens and struck this land raising a mesa to the sky above the clouds.” Rockwell continued, “And everything atop the mesa had underwent a type of mutation resulting in the anthropomorphic animals we saw outside.” “So that comet was some kinda mutagen comet?” Mikey asked. “In a sense yes,” Twilight admitted, “Over time the animal folk that mutated started adapting into society creating their own community here. And the mesa was from then on called Moo Mesa.” “Moo Mesa?” They asked. “That sounds even more on the nose.” Raph said. “Well, at least we're not dealing with evil magical wolves.” Leo replied, while recalling the evil Wolf named Jei. “So what do we do now?” Mona asked. “I'd like to look around some more,” Rarity suggested, "See how these western folk like to accessorize." “Yeah. Let's see how these folks live it up here compared to home.” Applejack agreed. Suddenly they heard a commotion outside, and they went out to scope it out. They saw causing a ruckus was a bunch of frog men dressed as outlaws. They were running around shooting stuff only instead of bullets coming out of their pistols it was all card symbols like spades, clubs, diamonds and hearts. “Looks like we got us a throw down here.” Applejack gasped. “Should we do something?” Mondo asked. “I don't know if it's our place to get involved.” Leo said unsure. “Come on, Leo,” Raph playfully slapped his shoulder, “We're here. There's danger. Let's do something about it.” “Ninja Cowboy style.” Mikey added. Leo sighed knowing there was no arguing with them, “Alright. But we have to be careful.” “No problem.” Pinkie said, as the group armed themselves. The outlaws were carrying some safes filled with money, and were loading them up in a wagon, “Let's get getting' on out of here fast.” one of the outlaws told the others. One of the outlaws in the wagon grabbed the reins of the horses, but were suddenly cut by a kunai. The horses took off, leaving the outlaws stranded with their wagon. They looked ahead seeing the heroes, “Leavin' so soon, partners?” Sunset asked with a western accent. “It's rude to just pick up and leave, you know?” Rarity asked. “Who in tarnation are ya'll?” one of the outlaws asked. “We're the guys about to send ya to the big house.” Slash warned them. “That's right du-I mean, partners.” Mondo added. “Take 'em!” the lead outlaw called, as the rest of them started opening fire on the heroes who spread out. Leo jumped in and used his swords to slice some of their guns in half, while Twilight used her magic to levitate others out of the outlaws hands. “Yee-haw!” Applejack called, as she dodged some of the ammo and delivered a powerful kick to one outlaw making him land right into a barrel. Bandit jumped from a roof and landed on one of the outlaws heads and blinded him by pulling his hat down so low it covered his face, “Who turned out the lights?!” the outlaw stumbled around as Bandit clung to his head snickering. Donnie used his bo-staff to trip some of the frog men off their feet, as Mikey swung his chucks around nailing some in the head. Raph and Mona were tag teaming against two more outlaws using hand to hand combat, “This is certainly unlike any kind of fight I've ever been in.” Mona admitted. “Well, it still makes for a good experience.” Raph admitted. As more outlaws tried to grab more safes, Leatherhead dropped in and roared at them. The outlaws dropped the safes and ran for their lives. Pinkie grabbed some sprinkles, “Here's a little something from me.” she threw the sprinkles at some outlaws that exploded. The crooks were blinded by the explosions, allowing Rainbow and Mondo to zip over and wrap some of them up with a lasso. “Oh, yeah!” Rainbow and Mondo high fived. As Rarity was using her diamonds for shields she saw one outlaw was about the shoot her friends, “Rainbow! Mondo! Look out!” The two looked and saw the outlaw about to shoot them, only for his pistol to get shot out of his hand. The group looked over and saw three more figures enter the fray. All three were actual Cow Boys. One of them who was wearing a badge on his chest looked like an orange furred cattle, the second was a strong blue bull, and the third was a skinny black and white colored cattle. The cow with the badge blew some smoke away from his pistol and spoke, “Looks like the party started without us.” “Eeyup.” the blue bull answered, making A.J blink as if she saw her older brother. “Well, that's a bust.” the third cow groaned. “It's Marshal Moo Montana!” an outlaw cried. “Right you are,” the supposed marshal confirmed, before turning to the heroes, “Mind if we join in at the last minute, fellas?” “Uh, not at all.” Leo answered. To the heroes surprise, the three cowboys made quick work out of the rest of the outlaws with the marksmanship, lassoing, and strength. “Whoa.” Slash gasped. “That blue dude's probably as strong as Rocksteady.” Mondo said in awe. “These dudes are awesome!” Mikey cheered. “No kidding!” Rainbow cheered along. Suddenly the bandits were all rounded up and hogtied, along with all the safes filled with money they stole returned to the bank. The citizens cheered and applauded for the whole group, as Leo spoke up to the marshal, “Hey, thanks for the help back there.” “Not a problem, friend. Welcome to Cowtown.” The Turtles, Mutanimals, and Rainbooms knew this was going to be quite the experience they would never forget. Author's Note Here's what the heroes look like while they're in Moo Mesa
Cowtown GuestsThe Mutants, Mona, the Rainbooms, and Spike had no idea their little excursion to alternate realities would lead them into getting involved in an old western showdown with a couple of outlaws, only to be assisted by three law abiding 'Cow' Boys. “Welcome to Cowtown, folks. I'm Marshal Moo Montana. And these here be my pals the Cowlorado kid.” Moo introduced. “Howdy.” Cowlorado greeted. “And the Dakota Dude.” “Hey.” Dakota greeted. “Nice to meet you. I'm Leonardo, and these are my brothers, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo.” “What up?” Mikey greeted. Slash spoke up, “Name's Slash, and this here's my posse. Leatherhead, Rockwell, Pete, Mondo, Mona, and Bandit.” “Don't stereotype my name.” Bandit warned them. Sunset spoke up, “My name is Sunset Shimmer. And these girls are my crew. There's Twilight Sparkle.” “Hello.” “Applejack.” “Howdy.” “Pinkie Pie.” “Nice to meetcha!” “Rainbow Dash.” “Sup?” “Rarity.” “Charmed.” “And Fluttershy.” “Hi.” “And I'm Spike.” the dog greeted. Cowlorado whispered to Dakota, "Do some of those gals have wings on their backs and horns on their foreheads?" Daokta noticed, "Yup." "Good, then it ain't just me." “Nice to meetcha,” Moo continued, “You did some fine work there handling these outlaws.” “It's kinda what we do.” Rainbow boasted. “You were definitely awesome there yourself.” Spike commended the Marshal, who got down to Spike's level and spoke. “Well, thanks, kid,” he playfully pulled Spike's cowboy hat down so it was around his whole head, “I appreciate the appreciation. But like it says in the Code of the West “If ya get a big head helping people. Your hat won't fit.” I like that.” Spike pulled his hat up and straightened it out, “You should tell that to Rainbow.” “So true.” Rarity agreed. “Hey.” Rainbow scowled. “You folks just passin' through?” Cowlorado asked. “Sort of, we've done a lot of traveling and stopped in for a spell.” Leo explained. “Well, you folks are welcomed to stay as long as you need.” Moo offered. “Indeed,” came a new voice. Everyone looked over and saw a purple cow dressed all fancy, “We in Cowtown pride ourselves in watching heroes at work.” “Who're you?” Slash asked. “Mayor Oscar Bulloney, at your service.” he tipped his hat. “Whoa, the mayor.” Mikey gasped. “We were just doing what anybody would do when it comes to making folks feel safe, sir.” Twilight explained. “Of course. Well, I best be moseying along. Enjoy your stay.” the mayor said while taking his leave. “So what do we do now?” Pete asked. “How about we show you folks around?” Moo offered. “Sounds good to us.” Donnie agreed. The mayor had walked into the sheriff’s office and called out, “Terror Bull!” a big red bull wearing a badge who was napping fell off his chair and onto he floor. “Yeah, boss?” he groaned, while getting up. “I'm afraid we have some trouble in our midst.” “What do you mean?' “Look outside.” The sheriff looked out the window seeing the group following the Cow Boys, “Huh, never seen them folks around here.” “I know,” the mayor confirmed, “They fight just as good as the Marshal. And I have a feeling they could spell trouble for us.” “So what should we do about it?” Terror Bull asked. “I think the Masked Bull should give our guests a little 'hospitality' so to speak.” the mayor chuckled. Meanwhile by the ranch, the cowboys were watching as several of the Rainbooms and even the turtles were trying to ride horses. Mikey was trying to hold onto his horse who was galloping too fast for him, “Aaah! Clothes line! Clothes line!” he got knocked off by running into the clothes line. Pinkie was trying to hold on, before she was sent flying off, “Wheeeeewhaaaaa!” Rainbow herself was holding on, only to get knocked off, “Stupid horse!” Donnie was riding his with no problem, “Hi ho, Silver! Whoa!” he ended up slipping off, “Oh horse!” he groaned. Sunset was holding onto hers, “Whoa. Whoa! Whoa!” her horse flung her off and she crashed onto the ground, “Oh!” she looked to the fourth wall, “Am I getting danger pay for this?” Raph was struggling to hold onto his horse, “Whoa!” he ended up falling off and landed in a water trough. He got up and chased after the horse, “Hey, horsey!” As Sunset got up while still in pain, Twilight and Cowlorado came over to her, “Somebody dial 911, if that's possible.” the girl groaned. "Thirsty?” Cowlorado offered her a cup of water. “Oh no. My hip.” she answered. “You guys never rode on a horse before?” the kid asked. “Not that rough. That's for sure.” Twilight groaned, while recalling she barely lasted a minute on one of the horses. Suddenly they saw Leo and Applejack riding by on their horses like pros, “Yee ha!” Applejack called. “Adios amigos!” Leo called, as the two rode around the ranch. “Looks like Applejack and Leonardo got it down.” Moo smirked. Sunset grumbled before speaking to Twilight, “No offense, Twilight, but Leo can be a big showoff sometimes.” Twilight chuckled nervously. Mona was struggling to hold onto a horse, “How can one expect to ride these things?” she fell off. “WHOA!” Mondo cried, as he held on for his life, only to get flung off and landed on the ground, “Oh, wipe out!” Fluttershy giggled, as she was feeding one of the horses, “There you go. Enjoy.” “That's some fine work there, miss,” Came a woman's voice. Coming over was a female cow dressed as a cowgirl, “It can be a gosh darn chore to get some of these fellas to stay still, even for meals.” “I'm just good with critters,” Fluttershy admitted, “And who're you?” “Name's Cowlamity Kate Cudster. I own this here ranch.” “Oh, it's nice to meet you. My name's-” “Nah don'tcha worry, none. Dakota there's told me all about you and your friends.” “That's awful nice of him.” Fluttershy said. “Yeah. He may look big and tough but deep down he's a softy.” the two chuckled. Moo spoke up, “Say why don't we all go to the Tumbleweed for a round of sarsaparillas.” “What they don't have soda here?” Mikey asked the others. “Actually, sarsaparilla is an early Root Beer.” Donnie explained. “Huh, could be tasty.” Mikey admitted. "It is." Pinkie confirmed. “I'm eager to get my drink on.” Bandit agreed. “We shall take you up on that offer, Marshal.” Rockwell said. “Then follow us.” Moo said, as the group escorted their guests off. As the group left, the sheriff under the alias of the Masked Bull along with his cowardly cronies Boot Hill Buzzard and Saddle Sore Scorpion were watching them from behind a boulder. “There they go,” Masked Bull began, before turning to his flunkies, “You remember the plan, right?” “Yeah, but it ain't gonna be easy taking all them folks out.” Saddle Sore noted. “Especially that big turtle and that gator. He looks mean.” Boot Hill said nervously. “Don't be getting cold feet now. We have our orders. And we're gonna stick to 'em. Got it?” Masked Bull ordered, as the two nodded nervously, “Then let's move.” the three tailed the heroes. Author's Note Scene of the group trying to ride horses was recommended by TMNTony who was inspired by the scene from the Third Movie
Evening ThrowdownThat night back in town, the Cowboy Trio took their guests to the Tumbleweed Saloon. They entered and looked around seeing other folks from town gambling at poker tables, or at the bar having a drink. “How accurate for a western.” Rockwell told the others. “Come on. I'm parched.” Rainbow said, as they went to the bar. “A round on me.” Moo Montana said, as each of them was given a drink. “Mm,” Mikey said as he downed his sarsaparilla, “Surprisingly good.” Mondo let out a burp, “Excuse me.” “Well, howdy, ya'll.” came a woman's voice, as they saw a beautiful cow woman walk over. “Lily, top of the evening to ya.” Marshal greeted. “Same to you, Marshal.” Lily smiled. “Folks, this here's Lily Bovine. She runs the Tumbleweed.” Marshal introduced the ninjas. “I watched you all in action today,” Lily told them, “Ya got some fine skills.” “We do have a reputation going for us.” Bandit admitted. “So you run this whole place by yourself?” Applejack inquired. “That's right.” “It must be hard work doing it by yourself.” Rarity expressed worry. “Oh it's nothin' I can't handle. I may not look it, but I'm tougher than I look.” Lily told them. “And that's a fact.” Marshal agreed. “So how long are ya'll gonna be in town for?” Lily inquired. “Well, we're not exactly sure.” Leo admitted. “Really, we're just travelers.” Sunset explained, while keeping their secret safe. “But that doesn't mean we can unwind for awhile.” Pinkie said, as she downed her whole drink. Lily looked to the girls, “Strange things on your heads and backs. What kind of folks are ya?” The girls were nervous, as Twilight spoke, “Well, ya see...” before she could answer, the saloon doors opened, and bursting in was the Masked Bull, Saddle Sore, and Boot Hill. Several patrons panicked and took cover, while the ninjas were confused, “What's going on?” Fluttershy asked. “Who're these crashers?” Spike asked. “That there's the Masked Bull.” Marshal explained. “A real trouble maker around these parts.” Cowlorado added. “Eeyup,” Dakota agreed, “Same as his lackeys.” “I heard there was some newcomers in town, so I decided to see for myself.” Masked Bull approached. “You must be referring to us.” Donnie said. “You looking to cause trouble?” Applejack inquired. “I don't cause trouble. I rectify it.” Masked Bull answered, as he and his cohorts started opening fire all around. “Take cover!” Sunset called, as the group took cover behind some turned over tables. “Looks like we're having a throwdown tonight.” Slash told the group. “So much for a peaceful evening.” Mona sighed. “What can ya do?” Rainbow asked rhetorically. “Alright, team. Get'em!” Leo ordered, as they drew their weapons and went on the attack. “Boys, girls, please take it outside!” Lily called, “I can't afford to make this many repairs.” Slash barreled right at the Masked Bull knocking him out of the saloon, while the others fought the other two right out. “Let us dance!” Leatherhead called, as he and Slash engaged The Masked Bull who used his own strength to try and over power them. Saddle and Boot were trying to shoot at the others, but the Rainbooms and the Turtles quickly disarmed them, and they ran for it. Sunset looked over and saw Slash and Leatherhead at a stalemate with the Masked Bull. Wanting to help them, she jumped in and broke their stalemate before fighting the masked outlaw head on. When she laid her hand on his a surge of memories came flashing through her mind. She saw the Masked Bull was Cowtown's own Sheriff Terror Bull who had been conspiring with their Mayor for all kinds of injustice to Cowtown, it's citizens, and even the Cowboys themselves. Sunset pulled her hand off and frowned at the outlaw, “You traitor!” “What're you talking about?” Masked Bull asked. “You may have everyone here fooled, but I know it all. And I plan to expose you and your boss if it's the last thing I do!” Sunset called, as she attacked her opponent, before disarming him of his gun. The Masked Bull ran off in retreat, “He's getting away!” Raph called, wanting to go after him, only to get stopped by Sunset. “Don't worry, Raph. We'll see him again.” “How do you know?” “Because he's closer than you think.” she answered, much to Raph's confusion. “Everyone all right?” Marshal asked. “We're fine, Marshall.” Leo confirmed. “That was fine work ya did there.” Cowlorado said. Sunset spoke up, “Marshall, do you have any idea who the Masked Bull is?” “Not exactly, but I do know he's associated with someone in town.” Marshal admitted. “Would that someone be the sheriff?” Sunset guessed. “How do you know?” Marshal asked in surprise. “Because you're not far off. The Masked Bull isn't associated with the sheriff. He is the sheriff.” “What?” the ninjas asked. “What're you saying?” Rarity asked. “The town's sheriff is an outlaw?” Spike asked in equal confusion. “Yes. And he and the mayor are behind so many schemes that these guys here have been dealing with.” “That's some big words, Sunset.” Dakota said. “What proof do ya have?” Cowlorado asked. “You probably won't believe me if I told you.” Sunset replied. “Try us.” Marshal challenged. “This geode I'm wearing gives me the ability to look into people's memories.” “Are you pullin' my leg?” Cowlorado asked. “No. In fact I'll prove it,” Sunset put her hand to Cowlorado to see his memories. She took her hand off and spoke, “You really replaced Dakota's drink with a mug of spicy sauce?” Cowlorado's eyes widened, as Dakota turned to him looked ticked, “That was you?!” “Whoa-whoa, hey! Dakota, dude. It was just a joke.” Cowlorado waved his hands in defense. “How did you do that?” Marshal asked. “Like I said I have power.” Sunset answered. “And so do we.” Rainbow said on behalf of herself and the rest of the Rainbooms. “What you saw us do to day against those crooks was something only we can use.” Twilight explained. “You folks, really aren't from around here, are ya?” Cowlorado asked. “We're a lot farther away than you think.” Leo admitted. “Then let's talk more privately.” Marshal suggested. The others agreed, and followed the cowboys. Later on, they were inside a barn sitting around with the Rainbooms, the ninjas, and the Mutanimals explaining the situation to them. “You mean to tell me, you fellas are actually mutants?” Cowlorado asked the mutants. “Uh-huh.” Pete confirmed. “And you girls are what again?” Dakota asked. “Humans.” Twilight explained. “And you girls draw on magic from those geodes you wear, while also using ninjitsu like your friends?” Marshal asked. “That about covers it.” Donnie admitted. “Well, I've heard some crazy campfire stories, but this tops it all.” Cowlorado said. “Uh-huh.” Dakota agreed. “So you comin' here was just an experiment?” Marshal asked. “Precisely,” Rockwell confirmed, “We had no idea the world we would end up in would be anything like this.” “You folks sure deal with a lot of darn crazy stuff.” Marshal said. “You have no idea.” Mikey replied. “Ok. So we got the details out of the way, what do we do about Sheriff Terror Bull and Mayor Bulloney?” Spike asked. “It's obvious we arrest them.” Rainbow stated. “Hold your horses, Rainbow,” Marshal calmed her, “Now we can't just go arresting people all willy nilly. Just because we know the truth doesn't mean everyone else will.” “And they're both the law here.” Mona added. “We need to find a way to catch the two of them in the act.” Leo stated. “That won't be easy.” Cowlorado said. “How hard can it be to actually catch the Masked Bull?” Rainbow asked. “Yeah, even his two flunkies were easy.” Mondo agreed. “Even so, we can always count on the Masked Bull or even the Mayor to have some scheme.” Marshall warned them. “So what do we do?” Leatherhead asked. Leo yawned, “I suggest we sleep on this and figure it out in the morning.” “Leonardo's right,” Cowlorado yawned, “I'm plum tuckered out.” “Come on, you can sleep above the saloon.” Marshal offered, as the ninjas followed their friends. Meanwhile, Terror Bull and the Mayor walked into the sheriff's office, with the mayor not looking happy, “So your attempt to defeat those strangers was a failure.” “Not my fault, three of us against all of them. No one could win against those odds.” the sheriff argued. Before the mayor could continue to argue, a voice spoke up, “Sounds to me like you fellas could use some assistance.” The two looked around the dark office, before Terror Bull called, “Who's there? Show yourself!” “As you wish.” Stepping out form the shadows was a grayish blue bull wearing dark boots, blue pants, a black shirt, a purple open trench coat, brown gloves, a red bandanna tied around his neck, and a purple cowboy hat. “Who're you?” the mayor asked in surprise. “The name's Bixolio, and I have a proposition you'd be foolish to pass up, Mayor.” The bull explained. The mayor was intrigued by this stranger and could tell in his confidence he knew what he was doing, “I'm listening.” Bixolio smirked seeing he had the mayor's attention. Author's Note Bixolio is a character from issue #52 of Tales of the TMNT comic book
The Outlaw BixolioThe next morning in Cowtown, the ninja team was up bright and early getting in some morning exercise. The three cowboys and Spike were watching from the sides as each of the turtles, Rainbooms, and mutanimals. “Man, look at them go.” Cowlorado whistled impressively. “That's some fine combat they got.” Moo said. “Eeyup.” Dakota nodded. “That's my girls for you.” Spike replied, as he watched the Rainbooms spar. Raph and Leo were dodging Slash swinging his mace around, as Leo spoke, “Keep it up, guys. If the masked Bull makes a come back again we need to be ready.” “Especially since it's the sheriff himself.” Slash agreed. “How can nobody tell that the sheriff is the masked bull?” Raph asked. Mikey who was practicing with his chucks spoke, “I know. The sheriff's name is literally 'Terror' Bull. Emphasis on Terror.” Applejack who was sparing with Sunset Shimmer spoke up, “Way I see it, not many can read between the lines when it comes to a name.” Bandit who was going up against Pinkie Pie replied, “While I'm not one for stereotyping names, especially given mine. But this is another case.” “And let's not forget the mayor,” Mona added, while dodging Twilight's strikes, “Being of such high power and authority can get him around doing anything illegal and shady as long as he remains careful.” “If we continue to let such a corrupt person run this town who knows what he'll try to do next.” Leatherhead added. “I could think of a million things.” Pinkie noted. Their spar came to a halt as they overheard hooting and hollering in the distance, “What's that?” Mondo asked. “We better check it out.” Donnie said, as the group headed to see the commotion. They looked out and saw coming into town was the same cow the sheriff and mayor met last night while accompanied by more bull cow men like him. “Who is that?” Rarity inquired. “Never saw him before.” Moo answered equally confused. “Me neither.” Dakota admitted. “So why don't we give this varmint a welcome?” Applejack suggested. “Took the words out of my mouth, A.J.” Cowlorado agreed. The group stopped as the head cow stood his ground, “Howdy, stranger, what do they call you?” Moo greeted. “The name's Bixolio, and this here's my posse.” he motioned to his gang behind him. “Just passing through, I hope?” Leo inquired. “Actually, we was thinkin' of having us some fun in this here town.” Bixolio answered. “We love fun.” Pinkie smiled. “It's what I'm good at.” Mikey agreed, only to get smacked in the head by Raph. “Whatever you think is going to be fun, I believe will be the opposite.” Sunset warned him. “So we suggest you pack it up and move on.” Slash warned him. “Pretty big talk from a big guy.” Bixolio crossed his arms, “Take 'em, boys.” his posse charged into battle. “Get 'em!” Leo called, as the group went into battle. The ninja teams engaged the outlaws with their own combat, as the outlaws were either fighting up close or shooting at them. Fluttershy was dodging some of the shootings, until Slash stepped in with his back to the outlaws, “Slash!” she cried. “Don't worry, my shell can take it.” Slash assured her. Fluttershy looked at the outlaws shooting at Slash's shell, and loaded her blowpipe and started shooting at the cows but to her surprise bounced right off their bodies, much to her shock, “That can't be right.” Slash started to feel the pressure from the shots to his shell, until A.J and Rainbow Dash knocked them to the side. “Thanks, girls.” Slash said, as they joined back in the fight. Donnie and Twilight were fighting two outlaws up close, but looked at them and noticed something, “Does that look like hair to you?” Twilight asked. “No. It looks like... metal?” The two knocked the outlaws to the side. Donnie got a closer look and gasped, “I knew it.” Twilight opened up the shirt of the outlaw to see its whole body was metal, “A robot?” “Not just this one. I bet they're all robots.” Donnie suspected. Rockwell hovered in and looked, “Goodness. How does a outlaw in a western setting make robots?” “Why don't we ask the ringleader himself?” Twilight asked, as they turned to Bixolio fighting Leo and Moo. “An impressive display of combat, turtle.” Bixolio noted. “You haven't seen anything yet.” Leo said, as he used his swords to strike at the outlaw who was dodging. “Leo!” Twilight called, “These outlaws aren't real.” “Not real?” Leo asked, as he dodged Bixolio. “What're you talking about?” Raph asked, as he grappled with one of the outlaws. “They're robots!” Rockwell called. “What?” the group called, as they were each dealing with fighting their own outlaw. “They're what now?” Dakota asked. “It's true.” Donnie confirmed. Leo turned to Bixolio, “How does an outlaw cow get robots in a place like this?” “Wouldn't you like to know?” Bixolio sneered. “As a matter of fact, I would!” Leo kept attacked before using his sword to slice part of Bixolio's shirt off. The whole group suddenly became shocked. In the abdomen of Bixolio was a familiar brain alien that the ninjas and Rainbooms knew too well. “No way!” Mikey gasped. “Bixolio's a Kraang?” Rainbow Dash asked. The real Bixolio spoke to them, “You insult me by comparing me to those dimwitted fools!” “So you're still an Utrom?” Donnie asked. “Precisely.” “This is one of those alien varmints you've been dealing with?” Moo asked the ninjas. “That's right.” Leo confirmed. "Only we've never had to fight an Utrom not associated with the Kraang." Sunset informed. “How does an Utrom get from Dimension X all the way here?” Twilight demanded. “And why are you doing this?” Fluttershy asked in confusion. “My story dates back before Kraang Prime and the Hive Mind came to be,” Bixolio explained, “I was like the other Utrom. Independent and with my own mind. But I discovered how much more I could be. So I started getting involved in arms dealing with several other galactic crime lords and mercenaries.” Bixolio flashed back to times he sold weapons to such aliens as Lord Dregg, Armaggon, and even Newtralizer back when he was widely known as K'Vathrak, “When the Utrom Council caught onto my dealings they tried to have me arrested. Luckily I escaped apprehension, and came to this dimension with whatever technology I could salvage. I decided to make this dimension my new home and created new droids to mimic the inhabitants here. I made myself a new body and traveled all over the Mesa earning money.” “How can you live in this dimension where there's no technology at all?” Rarity inquired. “Because it's the last place the Utrom would ever think to look for me.” Bixolio chuckled. “Well, we're gonna fix that.” Sunset promised, as she readied her kunai. “Just try it.” Bixolio replied, as the fight resumed. “Come on, guys. Let's show these robo-outlaws not to mess with a turtle.” Raph said, as the turtle bros tapped into their medallions power and demolished them. When Bixolio saw he was without his army, he spoke sternly to the heroes, “We're not finished here.” he blasted off the ground from the rockets in his hooves and flew off. “He got away!” Raph grumbled. “But he will be back.” Sunset reminded him. “And no doubt he'll have more of those robot outlaws.” Rockwell added. “I can't believe a rogue Utrom's been living in this world all this time.” Donnie said in disbelief. “Glad we decided to check this place out.” Pinkie added. “Ok, team, we now know what we're really up against,” Leo began, “But with all our talents together we can take Bixolio down.” “Yeah!” the team cheered. “You can count on us to help you.” Moo offered, as he and his boys joined in. “I don't know, Marshall Moo,” Sunset replied, “This is beyond what you and your friends deal with.” “That's never stopped us before.” Cowlorado replied. “And not about too.” Dakota added. “And like the Code of the West says 'If ya can't help your buddies then your horns will be forever green'.” The ninjas looked to each other, and Leo smiled before answering, “Alright then. We'll do it together.” Leo and Moo shook on it. Unbeknownst to them the mayor and sheriff were spying on them and were not looking happy. Outside Cowtown in a secluded area, Bixolio was busy rebuilding his robots and making more of them, “Just my luck to run into varmints who know what I really am.' he grumbled to himself. “Indeed.” came the mayor's voice. Bixolio looked over seeing the mayor and sheriff approaching, “You're really not from around here at all.” Terror Bull snorted. “To think I agreed to work with some monstrous creature.” the mayor crossed his arms. “So you know I'm not what I appeared to be, so what?” Bixolio asked rhetorically, “You want the marshal and those strangers gone, right? That's what I'm here for.” “And yet you have not fulfilled that part of the deal.” the mayor noted. “A temporary setback, Mr. Mayor,” the rogue Utrom replied, “I had not anticipated these strangers knew about my species or could fight the way they do. But now that I know what I'm dealing with I can upgrade my posse so they'll be ready for next time.” “You best make sure you carry out your orders of taking the marshal, his cowboys, and those strangers out. Or you can forget about getting paid.” the mayor warned him, as Bixolio grumbled in kraang/utrom gibberish. Later that day back at Cowtown, the ninjas, Rainbooms, and Mutanimals were preparing themselves for when Bixolio returned. “Too bad we can't contact Bishop in this dimension.” Donnie sighed. “No sweat, D.” Mikey replied. “Yeah. We'll just catch Bixolio, take him home with us, and then let Bishop know.” Pinkie explained. “That is if we catch him.” Mona put in. “We have too.” Leo replied. “Agreed. He's been running around loose in this dimension for who knows how long.” Twilight added. “So he needs to face punishment for his crimes.” Slash put in. “And that's what we'll do, because we're awesome.” Rainbow boasted. “Ya got that right.” Cowlorado agreed. Meanwhile up on the saloon roof was Cody Calf, a kid and long time admirer of Marshal Moo and his posse and honorary deputy. He was looking through his telescope around town before looking out at the entrance of town seeing Bixolio, the Masked Bull, Saddle Sore, Boot Hill, and a battalion of Bixolio's Cow Outlaw Robots. “Oh, no!” he gasped, before climbing down from the roof and ran to get help, “Marshall Moo! Marshall Moo!” he called, as he raced over to everyone. “Holy your horses, Cody. What's the ruckus?” Moo calmed him. “I just spotted the Masked Bull and that outlaw from earlier coming this way. And they got a whole herd of hombres.” Cody explained in worry. “Bixolio and the Masked Bull?” Fluttershy gasped. “How's that for a team up?” Pinkie asked. “If we pull this off we can catch the sheriff in the act and catch Bixolio.” Donnie informed them. “Then let's make it count.” Mona said. “Let's take position.” Leo ordered. “Cody, stay here where it's safe.” Moo instructed the boy. “Spike, keep an eye on him.” Twilight ordered. “You can count on me, Twilight.” Spike saluted. The heroes went to the center of town while several citizens were taking shelter and laying low. When Masked Bull and Bixolio arrived with their extended posse, Moo spoke to the two, “Your law breaking days are over. Both of you.” “When we're done here the both of you are going to jail.” Leo added. “We'll see.” Masked Bull answered, while Saddle and Boot shake in fear. The Cowboy Trio armed themselves, as the the girls and the mutants, “Attack!” Leo called, as the two sides engaged. It was an even bigger battle than the one from this mornings. The ninjas were jumping around avoiding the shots the outlaws were taking, while Slash and Leatherhead barreled through them and tore them to pieces. Rockwell and Twilight used their psychic powers to disarm the robots of their blasters and the Masked Bull and his flunkies of their guns. “That's better I can hear myself think again without the shooting.” Twilight said. “Me too.” Rockwell agreed. Dakota grabbed a barrel and slammed it down on one of the robots trapping it inside. When it fell over, Dakota kicked the robot hard and the barrel rolled so fast it knocked several more down like bowling pins. “Strike!” Pinkie cheered. “Let's hogtie these varmints, Applejack!” Cowlorado called. “Way ahead of ya, Kid.” Applejack replied, as the two took a lasso and hog tied a group of robots together, before swinging them around and into each other causing them to blow. Mona was using her own combat skills with Raphael to take out some robots, “Not bad for an inter-dimensional date, huh?” Raph asked. “You really know how to show a girl a good time, Raphael.” Mona flirted. “Flirt later!” Rainbow called, as she zipped around causing several robots to attack another instead while trying to keep up with her. Rarity was using her diamond shield to repel some of the robots punches, before striking back with her sickles, “Never mess with a lady.” she said with a flip of her hair. Pinkie grabbed some sprinkles, “Bombs away!” she threw them up and it rained explosives on the robots distorting them. “Coming through!” Mondo called, as he skateboarded all around the robots who were unable to grab him. Bandit was jumping from robot to robot causing them to punch themselves in an attempt to attack the raccoon mutant, “Stop hitting yourselves!” he laughed. Leo and Moo attacked Bixolio and Masked Bull head on, with the two villains trying to keep up with their enemies. “How are you this strong?” Bixolio demanded. “Because we have something to fight for.” Leo answered, as he fought the rogue Utrom. “The only reason you two fight is to oppress others.” Moo added, as he grappled with Masked Bull. The whole town of people started hooting and cheering their heroes on, which was encouraging the ninjas to fight harder than before. “Dig that cheer!” Mikey called. So the Rainbooms and their Mutant allies plowed through the robots until nothing was left and even trapped Saddle and Boot inside a barrel together. “Your bots are down, and so are you!” Leo called to Bixolio, as he and his brothers worked together attacking the Utrom all around. “Now!” Raph called, as they combined their magical strength and broke the cow exosuit leaving Bixolio without a body. “I got to get out of here!” Bixolio tried to escape only for diamonds to surround him and form into a cage courtesy of Rarity. “Now this is a present.” Rarity smiled at the crystal caged Utrom. The Masked Bull was about to make a get away, until he was surrounded by a a magical aura and levitated over, “Oh, no you don't.” Twilight said, as she held him in place. “Now let's show you who the Masked Bull really is.” Pinkie said, before unmasking the outlaw revealing to be the Sheriff. “Sheriff Terror Bull?” a citizen gasped. “So it is true.” Moo frowned. “All this time!” a citizen said angry, as the other townsfolk were voicing their disbelief and disappointment. “Ah, phooey.” Terror Bull grumbled. Suddenly the mayor approached, “Well, done everyone. You caught these outlaws and saved the town,” he began acting pleasantly, which didn't sit well with the Rainbooms. The mayor turned to Terror Bull and spoke disappointed, “Sheriff Terror Bull I am astounded that you are the Masked Bull. To think our own sheriff would be the one behind all these atrocities.” Terror Bull frowned that the mayor was betraying him, until part of destroyed exosuit piloted by Bixolio projected a recording of his conversations with both the sheriff and the mayor. Everyone present watched the recording constantly repeat itself, much to the mayor's shock. Bixolio spoke to him, “Looks like you're not so innocent as you appear, Mayor Bulloney.” The townsfolk turned to their own mayor looking at disappointed at him than they were of Terror Bull, “Uh, this is all a misunderstanding.” The mayor pleaded, until Moo spoke up. “Give it up, Mayor. You've been exposed.” “It's clear you don't have Cowtown's best interest at all.” Leo added. “Just like my former principal didn't have my old school's best interest at heart.” Twilight added. Cowlamity approached with Lily, and spoke to the deceptive mayor, “You are no mayor to our town.” “And you will never be mayor of anyplace else.” Moo added. “What?” Bulloney asked in worry. “You and Terror Bull are going to jail.” Leo declared. "Not a chance!" The mayor tried to make a run for it, only for Sunset to grab a lasso. "You're not getting away!" and with that, Sunset lassoed the corrupt mayor and dragged him back over with the help of Slash and Leatherhead. The former mayor looked down in defeat, as Sunset Shimmer walked up to Terror Bull and ripped the sheriff's badge off his uniform, “You don't deserve this.” she told the villain. “Well, dudes and Rain-dudette's, we stopped the bad guys and saved the town.” Mikey began. “Which means it's time to celebrate.” Leo added, as the ninjas and Rainbooms announced. “Booyakasha!” Marshal Moo, Cowlorado, and Dakota looked at each other before nodding, and announced together, “Booyakasha!” “Nice.” Mikey smiled, as the group stood victoriously.
The Cowboy and Cowgirl NinjasThat night in Cowtown, all the townsfolk turned up at the center of town where a stage was set up. The ninjas, Mutanimals, and Spike were up front, as Marshal Moo walked up front on stage and addressed everyone, “Good evening good folks of Cowtown. I am Marshal Moo Montana. Or should I now say 'Sheriff' Moo Montana.” he joked while showing off his new sheriff badge, “Today has been one strange and crazy day, hasn't it? But thanks to a group of new friends were able to stop one the baddest lawbreakers in the West, and expose two of our supposed officials were not who we thought they were.” Cowlorado came on stage and called, “Give it up for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! And the Mighty Mutanimals!” The group of mutants climbed on stage and started soaking in the applause, which Mikey, Mondo, and Bandit were soaking in. Moo continued, “And now let's give a big welcome for the third group of friends who not only also helped expose our former sheriff and mayor, but also set this whole thing up. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rainbooms!” The townsfolk cheered, as the curtains opened up to reveal the Rainbooms with western versions of their instruments, with Rainbow, A.J, and Sunset on regular guitars, Pinkie using barrels as drums, Rarity on an upright piano, and Fluttershy on tambourine. Twilight spoke into a mic, “Thank you, everyone. This is a little song going out to the trio of heroes of this town we're glad to call our friends. The band began to play as Twilight began singing first with the Rainbooms each taking a verse or in groups. The townsfolk were cheering and clapping along to the song while Spike and Cody were rockin' out. Meanwhile in the Cowtown jail, Terror Bull and Oscar Bulloney were in a jail cell listening in. “That is a catchy sound, boss.” Terror Bull admitted. “Quiet you!” Bulloney grumbled. Back at the concert the Rainbooms were ready to finish off. The townsfolk cheered their hearts out, as Rainbow took the mic and called out, “Thank you, Cowtown!” Later on as the hype died down, the ninjas stood opposite side of the Cowboys with Bixolio still caged, “Well, we better get on home.” Leo said. “It was fun meeting you all.” Cowlorado said. “Same here, Cowlorado.” Rainbow replied. “Will we ever see you again?” Dakota inquired. “You betcha.” Slash confirmed. “Absolutely.” Leatherhead agreed. “We'll come back and visit one day.” Fluttershy promised. “We'd very much appreciate that,” Moo said, as he offered a hand out, “Thank you Leonardo. Sunset Shimmer. Because of you we'll have a real mayor to think about the towns well being.” “And with you as sheriff we know you'll really do your part in keeping this town clean of crime.” Sunset said. “Just as we do with our city.” Leo added. “So any last minute pieces of advice before we go?” Raph asked the sheriff. “Well, Raphael, like it says in the Code of the West, 'True Friendships will always last Forever'.” Moo declared, as the group smiled in agreement. “Because Friendship is Magic!” Pinkie cheered. “Ok, guys. We're ready.” Donnie started the portal device. “Catch you later, Cow Dudes.” Mikey called, as he went through the portal followed by the others. Moo turned to his two partners, “Well, boys. I think we just got ourselves a new role in life.” “Ya darn tootin'.” Cowlorado agreed. “Eeyup.” Dakota nodded in agreement. Meanwhile at Donnie's lab, a portal opened up and out came the heroes. The girls looked themselves over seeing they were human again. “Yes! I'm extra beautiful again!” Rarity cheered. “And I'm back to normal too.” Spike said, as he was back on all fours. “That was some adventure, huh?” Mikey asked. “Indeed it was.” Leatherhead confirmed. “After today I need a nap.” Rainbow said. The door to the lab opened, and stepping in was April, Casey, Karai, Shini, and Keno, “Guys, where you've been. We were...” April trailed off as she noticed everyone's state of attire, “What the heck?!” “Did we miss something?” Karai asked. “Nice outfits.” Casey laughed. Shini looked down at the trapped Bixolio, “Is that a Kraang you have there?” “I'm not a Kraang!” Bixolio snapped. “What have you all been doing?” Keno asked. 'It's a long story.” Leo answered. “But we'll gladly tell you.” Fluttershy said. “Let me just text Bishop.” Donnie said, as he texted a message to Bishop, “He sure be here...” a portal opened up, “Soon.” Stepping out from the portal was Bishop, “Hello, my friends. I came as soon as Donatello texted me,” he turned his attention to the rogue Utrom, “Bixolio.” “Bishop.” Bixolio said bitterly. “Come on, guys. You're gonna wanna hear this.” Leo said, as they went to the den. Soon everyone was sitting around as the whole group told their New York human friends their story in Moo Mesa. “And that's when we came back here.” Mikey finished. “Dude, that whole world sounded wild!” Keno said excitedly. “Yeah. I would've loved to bust some outlaws Casey Jones style!” Casey pumped a fist up. “And you girls turned into ponies there like in Equestria?” Karai asked. “Well, humanized ponies.” Twilight corrected her. “I'm starting to wish I didn't miss out on it.” April sighed. Bishop spoke up, while looking at Bixolio, “All this time you've been hiding out in a dimension like that. Very clever, but not clever enough to avoid being caught by our allies the Turtles, Mutanimals, and Rainbooms.” “You don't have to rub it in!” the rogue growled. Bishop turned to his friends, “You have done the Utrom a great deal of service by apprehending this rogue. We will place him in Utrom lockup for his crimes. The council will be forever grateful to you as I am.” “It's what we do, Bishop.” Sunset replied. Bishop took the caged Bixolio and opened a portal, “Until we meet again my friends.” he went through the portal that closed. “Bye!” Pinkie waved. “I don't know about you guys, but I could really go for some deep dish action right now.” Mikey told everyone. “Good thing I came prepared.” Keno said, as he brought out some pizzas. “Keno, you're a saint.” Mikey praised him. “I know.” “Let's chow!” Rainbow called, as they gorged themselves on pizza. Soon enough it was time for the Rainbooms to head home where they were eager to rest and relax. At Sunset Shimmer's place, Fugitoid was frantically trying to clean the place up from the mess he made while throwing himself a party, “Oh, dear. Oh, dear! Why didn't I recharge myself earlier? I have to get this cleaned up before Sunset Shimmer comes home!” Suddenly walking in was Sunset who looked around at her messy room, “Professor!” she said in disbelief. “Someone brought pop rocks I swear I had nothing to do with it!” Fugitoid pleaded innocent. Sunset sighed in exasperation, “Whatever, I'm too tired to deal with this. I'm going to bed.” “What about your time with the turtles? Did something exciting happen?” Fugitoid inquired. “Tell you in the morning.” she yawned before going up to her loft and plopped down on her bed falling asleep. “Oh, well.” Fugitoid said, as he continued to clean the place humming Shake your Tail to himself. Author's Note And there you go. Short, but it was entertaining Hope you guys enjoyed it.
