That Sinking Feeling

While the heroes were busy packing up their luggages in the hideout, Caitlyn, Raph (in his cloaked disguise), Aria, Casey, Angel, and Carter were looking for Zach around a donut shop. Earlier that day, on Cisco and Frostee's suggestion, Zach went to check out the donut shop across the street. An hour went by and he hadn't returned.

“Zach! Zach!” Caitlyn called.

“Yo, Zach!” Casey chimed in.

“Where is he?” Raph asked.

“No idea.” Aria shrugged, looking from the top of a dumpster.

“Zach!” Caitlyn shouted. “You better not be messing with me!”

At that moment they all heard a groan coming from the dumpster Aria was standing on. She jumped down as Cater opened it up and they all gasped. “Zach!” There lay Zach, beat up with black eye.

“Oh no!” Caitlyn cried as Raph and Casey helped him out.

“Buddy, you alright?” Carter asked.

“Not really,” Zach grumbled.

“What happened?” Caitlyn asked in worry.

Zach frowned, “Mitch happened!”

“The obnoxious jerk we met yesterday?” Angel inquired.

“Yeah,” Zach explained. “I was just leaving the donut shop, when he showed up. And when he saw me, he said 'It's payback time!' Then he dragged me out back, beat me up, and chucked me in that dumpster! And he took my donuts!”

“That big jerk!” Raph growled. “Just wait till I-”

“Hey, there he is!” Casey pointed.

Mitch had his key car back in his possession and pulled it out of the car wash.

“Oh, he's toast!” Raph started towards him until Angel stopped him.

“Hang on, Raph!” She gave a devious smirk. “I've got a better idea...”

“Hey there, Mitch!” Carter approached him and greeted, “Long time no see!”

“Do I know you?” Mitch questioned him.

“No, but I'm one of Gabby's friends. Here, let me clean your windshield!” Carter held up a spray bottle and spritzed all over his car.

“Hey, what do you think you're doing?!” Mitch yelled, getting out. “I just had it waxed!”

Carter just laughed, “Oh it's gonna need more than waxing,” he chuckled.

“That's it, you're dead meat!” Mitch started toward him.

“Whoa, hold up!” Carter held up his hand. “Before you do anything...” He struck a match and spoke seriously, “Say hi to El Fuego!” He threw the match onto the car and it burst into flames.

“Aaaahhh!” Mitch screamed. “No, no, no, my car!" He took off his vest and began patting out the flames.

While Mitch was busy extinguishing his car, Carter snatched the donut bag, “And these donuts belong to my friend, thank you!” He then took off running with the donut bag.

“Hey, get back here!” Mitch yelled after him. “You're gonna pay for this!”

“Hey, Mitch?” Came Zach’s voice. Mitch turned around and saw Zach standing behind him with one of Casey's hockey sticks. Then, Mitch saw Zach’s friends surrounding him. Raph cracking his knuckles, Casey with his bat, Aria with her ninja weapon, and Angel with her sticks. “It's payback time, Mitch!”

“Aw crud.” It was all Mitch could say for the moment.

Later, at the hideout, Frostee showed everyone and Gary the scene of Carter torching Mitch’s car from a traffic cam footage and they laughed their heads off.

“Dudes, that is so awesome!” Mikey laughed.

“Now that's funny!” Rainbow gauffed.

“I want a copy of that!” Tony said, through chuckles.

“I want two copies!” Echo added.

“I can't believe Mitch beat you up.” Sunset said to Zach, who was enjoying the donuts along with Raph, Casey, Aria, Carter, and Angel.

“I can,” Gabby said, dryly.

“Don't worry about Mitch,” Raph assured.

“Yeah, we took care of that jerk!” Casey added.

April gave a dry look, “What did you do?”

“Let's just say, what goes around comes around,” Zach stated.

Mitch laid beaten up and groaning in the same dumpster he threw Zach into.

Ms. Nowhere showed up and yelled, “Alright, enough with the chuckling! Are you all ready for your mission or not?”

“Almost,” Adagio said. “We're waiting for someone else who will be joining up.”

Then the Foot van drove up and the driver stepped out to reveal Chaplin. “Hola, friends!”

“Chaplin!” Gabby and Tony exclaimed as they ran over and hugged him.

“Cousins, que pasa!” Chaplin returned the hug. “Long time no see! How's life treating you both?”

Gabby smiled, “My life in New York is going great, Chaplin.”

Tony explained, “Yeah, I wish my crew and I can give you a tour around LA, but we're packing our things and heading off to Rio as we speak.”

“That sounds awesome,” Chaplin smiled.

“You bet. In fact, why don't we introduce you to our friends, Chaplin.” Tony suggested as they went over to meet Tony’s crew.

The Crew approached as Echo asked, “Yo, Tony, who is this?”

Tony answered, “Guys, this is my other cousin from New York.”

Chaplin greeted, “The name's Chaplin. Dr. Chaplin Gomez, at your service.”

“Doctor?” Cisco asked in confusion.

“He's the Foot Clan's tech guy,” Aria explained.

“Yep. If it's got wires, I can hack it. If there's a formula, I can solve it,” Chaplin boasted.

“Someone's got an ego,” Angel remarked.

Tony introduced Chaplin to his friends one by one, pointing out, “This is Echo, Cisco, and our tech wiz, Frostee. Together, we are the Toretto Crew.”

“A pleasure to meet you all,” Chaplin greeted.

Cisco gave him a big hug, “Any friend of Tony and Gabby's is a friend of mine!”

“So, your Sonata's boyfriend,” Chaplin strained from the hug. “I can see why you two are perfect for each other.”

After Cisco let him go, Gabby introduced the Bridge siblings, “And that's Carter and Angel Bridge.”

“Nice to meet you two,” Chaplin shook hands with Carter and Angel.

“Like wise,” Carter replied.

“What up, Chaplin!” Mikey waved.

Chaplin looked confused, not recognizing the Turtles in their disguises. He pointed them out, “Do I know any of you?”

“Dude, it's us,” Mikey said, as the Turtles deactivated their disguises.

“Whoa! Leo, Raph, Donnie, Mikey?” Chaplin gasped. “How in the? Did you disguise yourselves with cloaking tech?”

“Why yes, yes we did,” Donnie smirked.

Chaplin nodded, “Very impressive. You should teach me how to make one of those someday?”

Gabby continued, “These girls right here are the Rainbooms. That's Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Sunset Shimmer, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Vinyl Scratch, and Blade Swipe.”

“Ah, the famous Rainbooms,” Chaplin smiled. "Nice to finally meet you. The Turtles and the Dazzlings told me all about you."

“The Turtles and Gabby told us about you too,” Sunset noted.

“Yeah, and how Donnie was jealous of your smarts. And you brought your own van.” Rainbow added with a snicker.

“I was not jealous!” Donnie protested. “Anyway, why are you here, Chaplin?”

“Karai sent me,” Chaplin explained. “After the Dazzlings got the ok from Karai, she sent me here to help you guys out.”

“I'm sure we'll need it,” Twilight admitted.

“Yeah,” Donnie deadpanned, not happy about having his rival tag along for the ride.

“Plus, she's busy calling someone very important.” Sonata stated as Ms. Nowhere’s phone rang.

Ms. Nowhere dropped the teens’ baggages and called, “Gary, pick up those baggages for me please?”

“I'm on it.” Gary answered and picked up the baggages while Ms. Nowhere picked up her phone. The person who called her was none other than Karai.

Ms. Nowhere coldly greeted, “Karai.”

Karai coldly greeted her back, “Nowhere.”

“Let's cut to the chase before either of us decides to kill the other.” Ms. Nowhere stated.

Karai coldly answered, “Agreed.”

Ms. Nowhere explained, “I'm borrowing your lieutenants, your brothers, and your friends for a secret assignment in Rio.”

“Are you going to provide support for my friends in Rio for their secret mission?” Karai questioned her.

“Can't. I have my own assignment. It's classified,” Ms. Nowhere replied as Karai sneered at her remark. “But my agents should prove enough support for this mission.”

“Fine. And Nowhere, if you mistreat my friends or put them in danger in anyway, you'll find out what my venom feels like!” Karai hissed with her fangs on, intimidating Nowhere.

Ms. Nowhere was unfazed by Karai’s scary face. “I'll keep that in mind.” She turned off her phone and called everyone, “Alright everyone, let's keep packing and moving! Chop chop!”

Everyone moved on to packing their baggages and loading them into their vehicles.

Two hours later, the spy plane was on their way to Rio. Inside, Ms. Nowhere was having an important briefing with the teens in the main room.

Ms. Nowhere called, “Listen up, everybody! You're being inserted into a hot operational theater.”

While some weren't listening, everyone suddenly heard Cisco, Sonata, Rarity, and Buffy screaming like a scaredy cats as Cisco used a spy gadget known as the laser cap, to shoot lasers right at a small, spider-bot. “Spider!” He screamed as the little spider-bot crawled away.

Rarity and Buffy held onto each other while they both stood on a chair in fear, as Sonata tried hitting the spider-bot with her tonfas. “Get it! Get it! Get it!” She cried.

“Cisco, put down that laser cap!” Ms. Nowhere ordered.

“They're trying to kill my brooch!” Echo panicked as she went to look for little spider bot.

Cisco groaned, “That thing belongs in a brooch motel.”

“It's not just jewelry It's a tracker, it's a camera, and… it's a friend.” Echo explained as she found her spider-bot.

“I like jewelry, but not the kind that crawls around creepily!” Rarity said.

“Same!” Buffy agreed.

Frostee announced, “Guys, check this out! Look at me! I'm invisible!” Everyone was not convinced that Frostee was actually invisible.

“Dude, I can totally see you.” Raph commented.

“Oh, oh sorry, I got it inside out,” Frostee said before he corrected his mistake. “Check it out,” Frostee activated his cloak, making himself completely invisible.

“He's gone!” Pinkie gasped.

Cisco happily gasped, “Bro… We got invisibility cloaks?”

Blade Swipe said, “I was unaware we have invisibility cloaks in our arsenal.”

“Nah, that's magic, B-Swipe!” Frostee replied. “This is a fiber-optic mesh poncho that bends light around its wearer. Watch this.” Frostee warbled as the cloak completely turned Frostee invisible again.

“Nice!” Chaplin said.

“Awesome!” Rainbow grinned.

Ms. Nowhere continued, “We've already lost contact with one agent. Your mission is to ascertain if Layla's missing, flipped--” She noticed that her purse was being carried by Frostee like he’s a ghost, but she wasn’t surprised.

“Guess where I am!” Frostee singsongy said until Ms. Nowhere grabbed her purse back.

Mikey laughed, “Good one, Frostee!”

“--Or--” Ms. Nowhere was interrupted by Tony.

“Hey, nice! Check out these gloves. What does it do?” Tony asked as tested out his gadget until he electrocuted Frostee, making Raph and a few others laughed.

“Oh no!” Fluttershy gasped and ran over to him. “Are you okay?”

Frostee haltingly explained before he whimpered, “I think it's a shock glove.”

Adagio suggested, “Somebody better check his pulse.”

“I'm on it,” Chaplin said.

One minute later, Ms. Nowhere continued explaining the teens in the back of the plane, “Your hauler's been upgraded with increased armor capabilities so that it can take a hit from a tank and still survive. I've also loaded all our intel for your mission onto its encrypted hard drive, so when you inevitably forget your objective, you can easily check back in.”

Tony said while balancing his glove onto his head, “You know you're making it seem like we can't handle this mission. Whoa!” The glove fell and it hit Tony with a static of electricity. He shouted, “Ow!”

“Am I?” Ms. Nowhere questioned as Tony chuckled. “We upgraded all your cars, too. We had to completely rebuild yours.”

“Yeah!” Tony ecstatically cheered as he received his car keys from Ms. Nowhere.

“What about ours, Ms. Nowhere?” Donnie asked Ms. Nowhere, referring to the ninjas’ vehicles.

“We've had some difficulty modifying your vehicles due to the Kraang technology and the fact we didn't have the schematics to the key cars, but we did our best.” Ms. Nowhere explained.

Aria nodded, “As long as the paint job is fine, I don't care.”

Ms. Nowhere continued, “Since you seemed to drop it out of the sky so often, we installed some more thrusters.”

Tony said, “I knew it was missing something.”

“Everyone has new cover identities that you will need to learn.” Ms. Nowhere informed the teens and handed everyone their new IDs.

“Mar-shell-oh?” Tony pronounced his identity name from his new ID.

“It's pronounced Marcello, primo,” Gabby corrected.

“You're the tattooed man from LA. You three are in his crew. You need to make contact with the favelas, use Tony's cover story to infiltrate the gang, and find Layla. Your secondary objective is to find out what the formula does. Also, no using your powers in front of people and no exposing your true forms, turtles.”

“We never do that anyway, Ms. Nowhere!” Leo stated.

“Same with us and our powers,” Sunset added.

Echo was satisfied with her ID. “All right. Another new identity!”

“Uh, how many identities do you have?” Frostee asked.

Ms. Nowhere ordered, “Don't answer, it's classified.”

“Hey! There's also some new stuff in here! Look at all of this gum.” Cisco reached for his fanny pack and found some gum packs.

“That's spy gum. Each flavor has a different purpose. When you chew the peppermint, it becomes an automotive sealant that's ten times more powerful than the current gum you use to fix your cars.”

Cisco smiled, “Now there's really nothing bubblegum can't fix.”

“Pink lemonade glows for visibility in the dark,” Ms. Nowhere then took the green gum pack. “This green one forms a molecular bond like geckos have on their foot pads for climbing.”

Frostee asked, “Gecko gum! What flavor is it?”

Ms. Nowhere reminded him, “I said it was green.”

Tony stated, “Green's not a flavor.”

“Don't. Just… don't.” Gary sheepishly announced from the pilot room.

“Ooh, what's this do?” Keno asked, getting one of the gum packs.

“That's the gum that never loses its flavor. You can chew it for hours straight and it will be just as delicious as when you first pulled it out of the wrapper.”

“Whoa, you invented gum that never loses its flavor?!” Pinkie questioned Ms. Nowhere, feeling excited.

Cisco answered, “Nah, that's existed for years, but it never hit the market thanks to Big Gum.”

“That's actually true,” Ms. Nowhere noted. “Okay, the drop zone is coming up. Here's your briefing binder.”

Echo received the binder, but it was heavy. She struggled carrying the binder and asked, “I thought you said all the intel was on the main frame in the hauler.”

“It is, but it's invaluable to have a binder too. A binder won't run out of batteries, need upgrading, or break up with your via text.” Ms. Nowhere explained, turning away to hide her tear.

Buffy asked, “Uh, you okay?”

Ms. Nowhere kept her composure, “Fine! You have your own instructions. I'll be on my own mission while you're in Brazil.”

Sunset questioned, “You still have to go on your own missions?”

“Have to? Duct-taped in a shipping crate for hours, waiting for a perp to leak just the right information before I burst out and start cracking skulls?! I can feel my blood pressure dropping already. Anyway, call me when you have an emergency.”

“Uh, don't you mean if we have an emergency?” Frostee asked.

Tony assured Ms. Nowhere, “Enjoy your duct tape, Ms. Nowhere. We've got this totally under control.”

Several minutes later, six police cars were chasing after the Hauler and the Ninja’s vehicles.

Echo watched the footage from the surveillance camera and questioned Tony, “Why did you flash your tattoo?!”

“He asked if we had any guns,” Tony smirked until he flexed his left arm with the tattoo and smooched it.

Gabby facepalmed, “Not that kind of gun, primo!”

Leo groaned, facepalming as well, “We got lucky that they allowed us through the border with our weapons, but now they think we're in a gang!”

“Exactly! That's what our cover story is supposed to be. Don't worry, we got this!” Tony assured them.

Frostee sighed, “I hope you know what you're doing, Tony.”

While the police continued to chase after the heroes, Tony was in his car and appeared on top of the hauler. “Yeah! Let's do this! Whoo-hoo!” He drove in reverse and joined in on the action. “Let's give these guys some cover with our new smokescreen tires.”

Then, the backdoor of the Hauler was opened and Echo in her car along with Aria in her key car and Vinyl in her car were ready to join in on the fun. They both replied, “Copy.” Echo, Aria, and Vinyl drove their cars alongside Tony to help. The four drivers nodded and drove in formation, activating their smokescreen tires. Cisco on the other hand, drove the Hauler to the forest on his right while the rest of the ninjas and allies followed to hide from the police.

Tony pushed the button and fired up the turbo boosters, speeding away from the police. As for Echo, she looked on and smirked as she drove in reverse and started firing some oil pellets at the police cars. “Slick track, yo.”

The road became slippery, causing the officers to lose control.

“Let's see what Nowhere put in my key car,” Aria wondered and pushed a button, releasing a bunch of caltrops. Aria saw the police tires popped and smiled, “Impressive.”

Vinyl pressed a button and two big speakers popped up along with two extra and blasted sound waves that knocked a police car away. She pulled alongside Tony and gave him a thumbs up.

Then, Tony gasped and saw a police blockade up ahead. He and Vinyl were forced to brake and made a U-turn to drive away from the police. Tony said, “Time to serve the cops some chicken and waffles!”

“We play a four-way chicken…” Echo continued as she and Aria headed towards Tony and Vinyl as they drove right pass each other to give their pursers a one-way ticket to a collision course. From there, groups of police cars crashed into one another.

Aria finished, “…and they waffle.”

While Echo, Aria, and Vinyl drove back alongside with Tony. He informed them, “Let's catch up with the others.”

Tony, Echo, Aria, and Vinyl drove into the forest to hide and they caught up with the rest of their friends. “Alright guys, follow the leader.”

Cisco smiled, “I am so happy to see you guys.”

Sonata asked, “How did you find us?”

Tony answered, “What do you mean? You're driving a giant RV. We followed your tracks to the jungle. Yo know I'm a master tracker.”

“We took a few turns somewhere, and our antenna broke off,” Cisco stated.

Frostee added, “Yeah, and the canopy is too dense to use GPS.”

Echo suggested, “We should head back to the highway before we're too deep.”

Gabby chimed in over the com-link, “I agree.”

Tony replied, “No way, the highway's probably swarming with cops looking for us. Besides, we're on a shortcut.”

Chaplin asked over the com-link, “Uh, to where exactly?”

“To Rio! This road runs parallel to the highway. We're fine.” Tony answered.

Sunset replied in concern over the com-link, “Uh, the parallel road just turned.”

“It'll turn back. Oh yeah. Listen, I have a feel for this,” Tony peered his head out of the driver’s window. “Just sit back. Enjoy the scenery!”

“Um, that's great and all, but I think we should head back to--” Fluttershy was abruptly interrupted by Tony, who lost control and his car, the hauler, and some of the vehicles ended up in quicksand. Echo and the ninjas moved aside and parked on the grass from the quicksand before exiting.

Buffy looked around and her car was at the edge of the quicksand. She exclaimed in disgust, “Ew! This place stinks. I hate it here!”

Raph groaned, “Ugh, it's just mud, Buffy! You don't have to be such a girl about it!”

Buffy frowned at Raph’s remark, before she smirked. Then she stepped on the gas and her tires spun mud all over the hot-headed turtle.

“Hey!” Raph growled.

“What? It's just mud, Raph.” Buffy joked as Mikey, Pinkie, Carter, Aria, Cisco, Rainbow, Chaplin, Frostee, Sonata, and Zach laughed.

Aria cackled, “Nice one, Buffy!”

Mikey laughed, “Oh, I wish I got a picture of that!”

“Already did,” Caitlyn replied and showed them a picture of it on her phone.

They laughed as Sonata cried, “Aw! I spilled my froyo!”

Frostee added, “Also, I think we might be stuck.”

Tony informed them, “Relax, it's just a little mud. We can power out of this. No problem.” He chimed over the com-link, “Hit the gas, Cisco!”

“You got it!” Cisco answered and tried to get out of the quicksand. However, the situation worsened when Tony’s car and the hauler was sinking a little.

Gabby yelled, “¡Deténgase!”

“You're making it worse! It's quicksand!” Chaplin informed them.

Tony exited from his car and laughed, “There's no such thing as quicksand!” However, karma got to Tony and fell on the quicksand. He groaned, “Oh my gosh… it's quicksand!”

Echo shouted, “Tony, keep still! You'll only sink in farther!”

Tony panicked in fear as the quicksand sunk him deeper because he kept moving and didn't listen to his friends, especially his cousins. He pleaded, “Hello? Help!”

“Then quit moving around, stupid!” Angel jeered.

Frostee asked in worry, “What do we do?!”

“We gotta get him out of there!” Twilight exclaimed.

“Cisco, Applejack, pull off that branch,” Echo ordered as Cisco pulled the branch off a tree next to him. “Dig the branch under Tony. Now carefully use the branch to orient him in a horizontal position.”

“On it.” Applejack answered, listening to Echo’s instructions as Tony sunk deeper into the quicksand until Applejack and Cisco found him.

“Booyah!” Cisco shouted.

Applejack finished Cisco’s sentence, “Kasha!”

Tony gasped for air as Cisco and Applejack pulled him out of the quicksand, “Thanks,” He chuckled. “Whew!”

However, the cars were still stuck and they were upset. Echo suggested, “Maybe now's the time we should call Ms. Nowhere.”

Tony retorted, “What? No! We just got here.”

“Our command center is in a hole, primo.” Gabby reminded him.

“It's a challenge we face as spies in a foreign country.” Tony fired back.

Leo replied, “There's nothing wrong with calling for backup when you need it.”

Spike popped out of Twilight's bag, “Even I know that, and I'm a dog.”

“And it would be unwise not to accept help in situations like this one,” Blade noted.

“Maybe Ms. Nowhere's Interpol contacts can help us?” Zach suggested.

“We've been begging for months for an international mission. We can't call for help two hours after we land. I'm sure we can handle this. Just give me some time to think,” Tony thought of a plan to come up with for a moment until he got an idea. “I got it. Cisco, we need your truck.”

From there, Tony was in Cisco’s truck and said, “All right, let's do this!”

“This is never going to work.” Blade Swipe facepalmed as Vinyl Scratch shook her head in response.

Everyone watched as Tony attached the tow cables to the hauler from Cisco’s truck. Then, Tony used his pal’s truck to pull the Hauler and Cisco warned him, “Be careful with my truck, T.”

“It's fine!” Tony replied and continued pulling the Hauler, but it only made it worse as Cisco’s truck was getting ready to sink as well.

“Aye yai yai, you're making it worse, primo!” Gabby stated.

Chaplin told Tony, “Your plan is clearly not working, Tony.”

“It's always darkest right before dawn!” Tony said.

Everyone shook their heads and facepalmed as Frostee replied, “Scientifically, that's not true.”

“We concur,” Donnie and Twilight agreed.

“Come on. Come on!” Tony continued to struggle with pulling the hauler by the use of Cisco’s truck.

Cisco told him, “I don't think it's working.”

“I'll make it work,” Tony replied and flipped the switch on one of the buttons, firing up the truck’s turbo boosters to pull the Hauler. Unfortunately, it made things worst as the turbo boosters of Cisco’s truck died and it was ready to get sunk down by the quicksand. Everyone groaned and facepalmed because of Tony’s ignorance to his friend’s warnings.

“Uh, want me to call now?” Echo asked.

“Aw man!” Cisco frowned while Sonata patted him on the back to cheer him up.

Meanwhile, as the sun was setting, Gary continued to pilot the spy plane in the skies. The atmosphere felt calm and quiet, but hew was missing his friends to talk to except his boss.

Gary commented, “It's so quiet.”

“It used to be,” Ms. Nowhere replied, who was upside down and wearing a blindfold while trying to open up her purse.

“Now I know how my aunt felt when she used to drop me off from camp,” Gary said in an upset tone. “I just miss the pitter-patter of their little feet.”

Ms. Nowhere took off her blindfold, “You want to hear little feet?” She landed down safely on her feet with her heroic pose and retorted, “Go catch some mice.”

Gary didn't like the sound of that and groaned.

Back in the forest, the teens were still thinking of a way to get out of the jungle thanks to Tony’s stupidity.

“I just need a snack to help me think. Look for some licorice!” Tony requested.

Pinkie cheered, “You got it, T!”

Frostee groaned, “Ugh, how does he eat that stuff?”

Cisco, Frostee, Keno, Mikey, Sonata, Zach, Pinkie, and Spike went to find some snacks in the hauler while everyone else looked at Tony in disgust.

Tony then noticed that he was covered in mud. He replied, “No biggie, I'll just wipe the mud off.”

“Yo, don't do that! Mud flies lay their eggs in there…” Echo warned him as Tony grabbed a plant to wipe the mud off of him, ignoring her warning.

Tony shrugged, “It may be good for my skin.”

“Eww!” The girls shouted in disgust.

“Oh, that is disgusting, Tony!” Rarity said in repulse.

“I prefer mud facials without fly eggs!” Buffy winced.

Suddenly, they heard loud noises in the hauler as the ninjas grabbed their weapons while food were thrown.

“Hey! No! Don't touch that!” Sonata said to something inside.

“It's moving! Get it!” Cisco shouted.

Frostee retorted, “No, you get it!”

Mikey screamed, “Aaaahhh, it's on me!”

“Hey! That's my favorite chew toy, give it back!” Spike barked.

The disturbance in the hauler was revealed to be a little monkey stealing their food. Leo and his ninja pals stood down as the monkey ran past them with the food. Then Spike ran out, chasing after the monkey into the jungle.

“Spike, come back!” Twilight cried.

“It's getting away!” Keno exclaimed while Frostee, Cisco, Mikey, Sonata, Zach and Pinkie followed him.

“Tell me that thing has my snacks?” Tony wondered.

Frostee complained, “I don't want to feed it!”

Cisco said, “Yo, which way did he go? Frostee, go! Get it, it's getting away. Go go go.” He, Frostee, Keno, Mikey, Pinkie, and Sonata all too ran off after the monkey into the jungle.

Zach shouted, running after them too, “Hey, wait for me!”

Echo sighed, “Today just keeps getting better and better.”

Angel nodded, “Agreed.”

“Tony, I think we're over in our heads,” Gabby admitted.

“If you're never over in your head, you'll never learn how to swim.” Tony replied, continuing to use the plant.

As Tony continued to wipe the mud off with the plant, mud flies started to surround him.

“That's not how you learn how to swim!” Gabby retorted before calming down, “Look, we need to get out of here and find Layla.”

Chaplin noted, “She's got a point right there, primo.”

“I know things are tough, but that's when we're at our best!” Tony stated before he smacked himself because of the mud flies. He continued explaining while maintaining his optimism, “When we're running on instincts!” He yelped, “Flying by the seat of our pants!” Tony shouted in pain while the mud flies continued surrounding him. “These things are everywhere!”

Echo explained in concern, “Well yeah, because they're attracted to the scent of the plant you rubbed all over yourself.”

“Why didn't you tell me?!” Tony asked in anger while trying to shoo the mud flies surrounding him.

Echo growled, “Are you serious? You wouldn't listen when we went to the border and showed off your tattoo, you didn't listen when we left the highway and got stuck and you're not listening now!”

Gabby nodded, “I agree with Echo on this one. You're not thinking straight at all, primo.”

Raph chimed in, “If Master Splinter was here right now, he would've knock some sense into you.”

Sunset added, “The point is, you need to clear your mind and use your common sense.”

Tony scoffed, “You're all crazy.”

Everyone gasped and Echo vented, “Wha--?! Fine! You know what? You figure it out then. Good luck. Angel, Fluttershy... Come with me.”

“Gladly,” Angel said.

Fluttershy assured Twilight, “Don't worry, we'll find Spike.”

Gabby huffed angrily and walked away from her cousin while Chaplin sighed and walked away with Gabby. From there, the rest of Tony’s friends walked away as well.

Leo informed Echo, “While you guys find something to pull our vehicles from the quicksand, The Dazzlings, Sunset, Rainbow, and I will be on patrol. I'll let you know if something happens.”

“Will do.” Echo tipped her cap before her team and Leo’s team split up.

“Does anyone have bug repellent? Gabby? Leo? Twilight?” Tony grunted. “C'mon guys, back me up on this.” No response from them and Tony groaned, “Gotta do everything myself.”

Meanwhile, Cisco’s party searched high and low for the food-stealing monkey.

“Where are we?” Cisco asked.

Frostee answered, “We're lost, man. We're in deep.”

“Bro…” Mikey said in worry.

“We must be miles from the hauler.” Pinkie stated.

“Aw man, I'm thirsty.” Cisco feared.

Sonata noted, “Me too.”

Zach cried, “Everything looks the same.”

Frostee asked in fright, “H-How did people survive without GPS or allergy medication?!”

Cisco wondered, “I'm sweating like crazy. I think I might have leptospirosis.”

“WHAT?!” Sonata reacted in shock.

“I told you not to read that book about river diseases.” Frostee told him.

“If I go first, I'll leave you my everlasting gum.” Cisco informed him.

“Pull it together, man!” Mikey grabbed Cisco’s shoulder and told him, “You're going to be around just as long as that delicious fruity flavor.

Frostee and nodded and everyone called for help until someone called, “Hey.”

Cisco’s team screamed and panted until they saw three people emerging from the shadows and it was none other than Echo, Angel, and Fluttershy.

“Oh, we're saved!” Frostee panted.

“I'm cured!” Cisco cheered.

“How did you find us?” Zach asked in delight.

Angel lifted a leaf from a tree aside and showed them that they were actually close to the hauler.

“Oh…” Cisco answered.

“Yeah,” Angel said knowingly.

“C'mon, you guys want to find that monkey or what?” Echo asked the boys.

Frostee asked, “How do you three know where to go?”

“Just follow the monkey's trail.” Fluttershy answered and pointed her finger up towards the tree where a can of Yoka was resting.

The boys followed Echo, Fluttershy, and Angel as Cisco kept chewing on his gum. “You're right, Echo, chewing on this grass keeps me hydrated. And builds my jaw muscles. They could use some definition.” He said.

Everyone continued searching until they were stopped by the sounds of monkey chatter in the area. As well as Spike's barking.

Angel looked upward and informed them, “Looks like your monkey is up there.”

“And it sounds like Spike's up there with him,” Sonata added.

“But dogs can't climb trees,” Frostee stated, “How did he get up there?”

Pinkie raised her hand, "Ooo ooo ooo, I know! Spike was chasing the monkey and caught up to him when he started to climb a tree. Spike then bit onto the monkey's tail, hoping to make him drop the bag, but instead the monkey ended up yanking Spike along with him and pulled him up into the tree with him.” She finished with a squee.

Echo, Cisco, and Frostee stared at her in dumbfoundment, before the young genius spoke, “That's... actually a logical guess. How did you know that?”

“Just a hunch,” Pinkie shrugged.

“A hunch?!” Cisco and Frostee exclaimed.

“Pinkie's super dope like that, yo,” Mikey said.

Echo nodded and walked away, “We'll meet you guys back in the hauler. Good luck.”

Frostee gasped, “You're leaving us?! How will we find our way?”

“What if I get onchocerciasis?! River blindness is real yo!” Cisco asked in worry.

“One, you're nowhere near a river,” Angel stated. “And two, chill out!”

Echo sighed, “A couple of greenhorn tenderfeet. Angel and I scored the trees, the markings will lead you back.”

The boys noticed the trees were marked in front of them and they understood what she meant.

Zach said, “Oh, that's nice.”

Cisco nodded, “Uh-huh.”

Fluttershy informed the girls, “I'll stay here and help them find the monkey and Spike.”

Angel and Echo nodded at her. “Will do. I'll let the others know your location. Good luck.” Echo told them.

“And keep your boyfriend from freaking out any more, Sonata,” Angel said.

“Okay,” Sonata smiled.

Meanwhile, Tony was still figuring out how to get the vehicles out of the quicksand on his own. He observed and looked around the area until he found a big branch.

“Oh yeah. This is the one that'll get us out.”

Tony pulled the branch, but it was tough. He pulled the branch hard until it hit Tony in the head and made him slipped. He fell and he also let the branch fall onto the quicksand until it sank.

“Oh come on!” Tony exclaimed and his troubles became much worse. His hand touched a sticky substance on the tree and tried to rub it off, but it did not. It was still there.

“Gross,” Tony cringed in disgust. “Okay, I can do this. Just need the right branch. Which one…”

While figuring out his next move, Tony placed his hand onto his head to think until he realized his hand is now stuck onto his head because of the sticky substance from the tree. “Oh no. Are you kidding me? Ow!” He yelped.

As if things in the jungle couldn't get any worse, he stumbled upon himself and met a black snake hanging from a branch, hissing in front of Tony.

He nervously chuckled until the snake was about to attack Tony, but he grabbed it with his other sticky hand, making him scared even more.

Meanwhile, Cisco, Frostee, Sonata, Mikey, and Pinkie climbed up the tree to find the monkey while Zach watched.

Cisco commented, “Glad you grabbed that gecko gum.”

“We don't need it.” Sonata whispered.

Frostee shushed him, “Shh! We're almost there.” He perched up onto the branch and noticed something odd.

“See anything?” Sonata asked.

“I-I must be delirious, 'cause I see a floating Yoka can.” Frostee answered as he and Mikey saw something invisible and it was holding a can of Yoka.

Sonata and Cisco were confused. “What?” They both asked until they went up and saw a floating chocolate bar. Cisco said, “That chocolate bar is disappearing into thin air.”

“Freaky deaky!” Pinkie shouted.

“It must be a ghost.” Sonata suggested.

“Not a ghost,” came Spike’s voice and they turned and saw the dog tied upside down on a branch by a bolo. “It's the monkey.”

Sure enough, the ghost indeed turned out to be the monkey that they were looking for as the invisible cloak slipped off.

Cisco cooed, “Aww.”

Mikey and Pinkie untied Spike as the turtle asked, “How'd you get tied up, Spike?”

“Did the monkey do that?” Pinkie inquired.

“Yes, and I don't wanna talk about it,” Spike grumbled.

While the monkey was looking for something in Cisco’s fanny pack, Cisco chuckled, “Hey big guy. Whatcha got there?”

Sonata asked, “Playing with our spy gear?”

Cisco tried to approach the monkey slowly while Frostee, Sonata, Mikey, Pinkie, and Spike followed. “Huh? Yeah. I'm friendly. Come here.”

Everyone carefully walked over to the monkey, only for the little guy to walk away with the bag.

Mikey shouted, “Hey, that's our's! Give it back!”

As they moved closer, the monkey activated the shock glove and it startled everyone.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey now. We mean no harm. I'm just going to take our stuff back, nice and easy…” Cisco smoothly told the monkey and slowly grabbed his fanny pack.

The monkey shrieked and attacked Cisco’s team, shocking them and letting them fall from the tree.

Zach gasped until Cisco, Frostee, and Sonata landed on a diamond disk while Mikey, Pinkie, and Spike were magically levitated thanks to Twilight and Rarity. They lifted them down safely from harm as Donnie, Caitlyn, April, Carter, Buffy, and Vinyl arrived.

“Spike!” Twilight hugged her dog.

Rarity sighed, “Thank heavens we made it on time.”

“You guys okay?” Carter asked.

“We heard you all screaming. What happened?” April inquired.

Frostee rubbed the pain his head, “Monkey business isn't as fun as I thought it would be. Ow.”

Sonata answered, “That monkey on the tree attacked us.”

“What monkey?” Buffy asked as the monkey shrieked and hit Cisco on the head with a Yoka can.

“That monkey!” Spike frowned pointing up.

Cisco groaned, “How did Jane Goodall survive so long?”

“You're right, I do get myself into these situations. I know, but I just wanna show my friends they can still rely on me now that we're big time.” Tony lamented as the snake hissed. “Huh, I never thought of it like that. I need to rely on them too. Man, it's really easy to talk to you.”

As it turned out, Tony was tangled, dangling upside down by the vines. He commented, “This is really painful.”

Meanwhile, Ms. Nowhere was on a mission in a city, hanging on the wire upside down.

“Nothing like a rush of blood to the head to clear the mind.”

She used her spy glasses and observed the two suspicious men. One of them was holding a briefcase as Ms. Nowhere scanned it from afar and found a hard drive inside.

“Bingo.”

Ms. Nowhere swooped down from her zip-line and started beating the tar out of the two thugs while a civilian watched. He walked away and Ms. Nowhere got the hard drive with ease.

“Ha! Hope you learned your lesson, boys.” Ms. Nowhere said and swiftly walked away from the two unconscious men.

On the other side of the jungle, everyone hid behind a large log for cover as they were currently being pelted by some pink goo while Cisco pulled Frostee over to safety.

Donnie observed and analyzed the goo. He noted, “Well, looks like he found the pink lemonade gum.”

Cisco cried, “No!”

Then, everyone heard a clink near them.

“What was that?” Carter asked.

Frostee spotted the empty jar and picked it up to observe it. After that, he finally realized, “Aww! He got into my jar full of that flower formula residue!”

While Sonata got scared and hid behind her boyfriend after hearing Frostee’s statement, Mikey gasped, “The one that explodes?!”

“No, it already exploded. This was the leftover chemical compound,” Frostee explained. “Still, I wanted to analyze further!” He growled, “Argh! That monkey's gonna pay! Come on! Let's finish this!”

Cisco, Frostee, Mikey, Sonata, and Fluttershy jumped over the log and climbed up to the tree while the rest stayed behind. Caitlyn shouted, “You guys better be careful up there!”

“Um, I think the monkey didn't mean to take your stuff. He was just hungry. That's all.” Fluttershy pleaded as she continued climbing.

Frostee, Cisco, Mikey, Sonata, and Fluttershy reached up to the monkey, but it was feeling sad all of a sudden by giving them the pouty eyes. Cisco vented, “Whatever the case,” He then looked at the monkey dead straight in the eye, “We are done being nice, monkey!”

Mikey nodded, “Mm-hm!”

“I order you to give me that fanny pack now!” Cisco demanded, reaching his arm out.

The monkey took a moment to listen and heard Cisco’s order. So, the monkey obeyed Cisco by grabbing the fanny pack and gave it back to Cisco. After witnessing that moment, everyone became surprised by the monkey’s actions.

“Whoa…” Zach and Caitlyn said in shock.

“Amazing,” Rarity gasped.

“How did he do that?” April asked.

Mikey added in astonishment, “He listened to you.”

Cisco gasped, “Maybe I'm… the Monkey Whisperer.” He reached his hand out and said, “Come.” The monkey approached Cisco and latched onto his shoulder. “I call you… Donut.” Cisco tearfully smiled.

Fluttershy cooed, “Aww!”

Meanwhile, the team of Angel, Gabby, Echo, Casey, Raph, Applejack, and Blade Swipe emerged from the bushes while carrying some logs until they all saw Tony dangling upside down while being tangled by the vines. Echo and Gabby dropped the branches and Applejack asked, “What in tarnation are you doing up there, Tony?”

“How did-- Is that a snake?” Angel questioned, noticing the snake skin on Tony’s hand.

Tony answered, “Nah, I had to let him go. He had his own journey to complete.”

Then, Echo noticed her car was in the quicksand and she freaked out. “Yo! My car!”

Tony admitted, “Yeah, that's on me.”

Gabby gasped, noticing the Turtle Racer was in the quicksand as well, “No! The Turtle Racer!”

“That's on me as well.” Tony admitted again.

“Dude, what the heck!” Casey yelled.

Echo and Gabby were angry at Tony while Angel, Raph, and Applejack facepalmed.

“Can't you see? You just keep making things worse!” Echo shouted.

“I know, okay? I'm sorry!” Tony apologized. “Now, can you help me down?”

“No, you're not getting off that easy, primo! Why are you sorry?” Gabby interrogated him.

Tony replied, “Really? I have to say the whole big thing?”

Raph exclaimed, “Yeah. Look at our cars?!”

“Look at the Turtle Racer?!” Casey pointed.

Applejack added, “You have to say the whole big thing, Tony.”

“Be a big man, and admit you messed everything up!” Angel called.

Tony saw the expressions of everyone’s faces and realized the mistakes he made. He sighed, “Fine. You were right and I was wrong. I can't do this alone. I need you guys. You make me a better leader.”

From there, Echo and Gabby took a picture of Tony from their phones.

“Hey!” Tony exclaimed.

“We're saving that for later.” Gabby stated as Tony groaned. “Blade, can you cut him down?”

“Alright,” Blade nodded and cut the branch off with his sword, releasing Tony from the vines and making him fall onto the ground hard.

Tony grunted, “You know, you could've warn me next time.”

“Yes, but now you'll never forget your lesson,” Blade smirked.

Then, Cisco and the rest of the gang showed up. Cisco asked, “What's going on?”

Donnie screamed when he saw the Turtle Racer in the quicksand, “MY BABY!”

“You mean our baby, D!” Casey pointed out.

“Hey, you got our stuff back! Is that a monkey on your shoulder?” Tony asked.

Cisco asked him back, noticing the snake skin in disgust, “Is that a snake skin in your hand?”

Then, the team of Leo, Chaplin, Sunset, Rainbow, Adagio, and Aria arrived back from patrol and Leo warned his friends, “Everyone, we have to get out of here now.”

“Why?” Carter asked as everyone heard and saw helicopters flying over them.

“You called Ms. Nowhere?!” Tony questioned everyone.

Adagio answered, “No, that's not Ms. Nowhere. That's the cops!”

Sunset informed everyone, “We spotted them heading this way half an hour ago.”

“We gotta get out of here!” Cisco stated.

Rainbow replied, “But the cars are stuck.”

“Not for long! Everyone, grab those logs!” Echo ordered and everyone scrambled to get the logs.

“Logs in place!” Cisco shouted and everyone else did the same.

The teens were in a hurry and they all quickly tied the logs into a makeshift rail while the police started searching. From there, everyone crawled towards their vehicles and set the rail under the vehicles' tires.

“This'll give us enough traction to get out of the quicksand.” Echo informed everyone.

It was a race against time as the police continued searching while Cisco, Leo, and Applejack pulled their friends’ vehicles out of the quicksand.

Tony wiped a bead of sweat on his forehead and said, “Whew! See? We don't need Ms. Nowhere's help. We have a "Little Nowhere" right here.

Echo did not like at all and told him, “Never say that again.”

Tony chuckled, “Sorry.”

“How do ya know all of this wilderness stuff?” Applejack asked.

Echo tipped her hat, “Girl Scouts, yo.”

“Respect.” Frostee said and her friends nodded.

Cisco saluted, “Thank you for your service.”

The police was approaching near the teens’ area and Tony quickly ran to his car and alerted his friends, “We gotta go!”

Everyone got into their cars until Chaplin asked, “What about the hauler?”

Gabby answered, “We don't have time to bring up all the cars to tow it out.”

“So we're just going to leave it?” Frostee sadly replied.

Cisco stated, “But Ms. Nowhere said it's, like, super important for our mission. Plus, I shouldn't have to mention tis, but the fro-yo machine is in there.”

Frostee activated the hauler’s invisibility cloak to make sure no one else saw it. “We'll come back for it.”

“Freeze!” The policeman shouted and the rest of the police found the heroes. Luckily, the Turtles activated their cloaking disguises before the officers could get a good look at them.

Everyone raised their hands up as one of the cops checked Cisco’s truck and opened the door. “What the?”

From there, Donut attacked the cop without warning and the Ninjas and Spy Racers threw smoke pellets at the police, blindsiding them. The heroes made a break for it and escaped from the police.

“All right! Back on track!” Tony smiled.

Donut and Cisco gave each other a high five and Frostee laughed, “Nice one, monkey.”

However, Echo was not pleased as she saw a police blockade. She told everyone via comms, “Uh, we got a problem with the track up ahead.”

“Move over, I got this.” Cisco insisted and moved over his truck over to the front.

The monkey shrieked and Frostee cheered, “Ha ha, let's go!”

“Booyahkasha!” Mikey cheered.

“Goongala!” Casey yelled and the policemen moved out of the way right before Cisco’s truck broke the police blockade.

Everyone traveled down the road in the forest, leaving everyone filled with smiles. As the heroes drove on, Gabby and Angel rode with Tony. Gabby looked away and Tony could tell she was still mad at him for all the problems he caused.

“Gabby, I really am sorry,” Tony apologized.

“Tony, you messed everything for us!” Gabby scolded.

“I know, I know,” Tony admitted. “I just wanted to show you could all rely on me. But I need to rely on you guys too. I should've listened to you guys.”

“Yeah, you should've,” Angel stated. “And you should've called Ms. Nowhere like she said.”

“I couldn't. She thinks we can't handle international spying,” Tony explained, “If she bailed us out before we even stared, she'd send send us back to LA, saying 'Step aside, kiddies, and let the REAL spies handle this!'”

Gabby and Angel were about to retort, when they remembered that Ms. Nowhere didn't even want them take the mission in the first place. And from the way she say to call her 'when' their was an emergency, did sound like she had little faith they could handle things. They thought that maybe not asking Ms. Nowhere for help, when she barely let them take the mission, was the right idea.

“Yeah, she would...” both girls reluctantly admitted.

“Look, I just, really wanna find Layla,” Tony continued.

“I wanna find her too, primo,” Gabby said. “But we can't find her if you keep trying to do things on your own.”

“And maybe listen to us when we say not to do things,” Angel added. “Like thrashing around quicksand when we say keep still?”

“Alright,” Tony promised.

Minutes later, they arrived on the cliffside and exited out of their vehicles until they stopped and looked at the magnificent, nighttime view of the city of Rio.

Tony smiled, “See? We made it to Rio, no problem.”

Rainbow mentioned, “Well, uh, we don't have the hauler.”

Echo added, “Which was our safe house.”

Donnie also stated, “Plus, we lost all our mission data that was stored in its hard drive.”

“Which means we're going into this mission blind,” Twilight noted.

Gabby replied, “That's true. But we did it all without Ms. Nowhere’s help!”

“Man, this is gonna be hard.” Cisco stated as Donut chittered.

Author's Note

Carter setting Mitch's car on fire was based on a funny scene of Roman Pearce doing the same to two thugs' car in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

Bem-vindo ao Rio

The next morning, the gang looked and drove through the beautiful city of Rio.

“This is unreal,” Tony commented, impressed by the scenery of Rio.

“Whoa!” Cisco and Mikey awed in unison.

“Awesome!” Zach smiled as Caitlyn took some pictures from her phone.

“Dope,” Echo said.

“Yeah,” Angel agreed.

Keno noted, “It's like New York, but different.”

Cisco asked onscreen, “So what's the plan? How are we going to find Layla and find out what these gangs are up to?”

“We've got all we need right here. Can you see the formula?” Tony said. “Or do you need me to magnify it for you?” He flexed his arm, showing his tattoo.

“You're flexing, aren't you?” Applejack asked, unimpressed by the physique of his arm.

Tony replied through comms, “Yup.”

“So, you're just gonna walk around trying to act like a bodybuilder?” Frostee sat back and crossed his arms while Donut perched onto Frostee’s shoulder. “I'm not sure that'll work.”

Tony answered, “I'm not a bodybuilder. I'm the man with the formula tattoo. The one everyone's been looking for? I just need to make sure the right people meet… Marchelo.”

“Marchelo who?” Raph asked through comms.

“I'll answer that question when I parked and find out where I wrote down my cover name,” Tony replied.

Chaplin sarcastically said, “Right…”

“Can't wait to see that one blow up in your face,” Aria stated dryly over the comms.

Minutes later, the teens parked their cars and the Turtles disguised themselves as humans before everyone exited their vehicles. Plus, the locals of Rio were fascinated by the teens’ sweet cars.

Tony smiled, “Looks like the locals have great taste.”

Then, a kid was astounded by Tony’s car. He walked up to Tony and asked, “Whoa! Awesome! Can I take a picture of you with your car?”

“Yeah, of course.” Tony answered and got a picture with the kid, flexing his tattooed arm.

“Oh, obrigado! Thank you!” The kid used his phone and took a picture of the car with Tony, flexing his tattooed arm.

After the kid got his picture, he walked off while Tony told his team, “If everyone is that friendly, this is gonna be a piece of cake.”

“I totally agree with you, T.” Pinkie nodded while eating her cupcake.

Cisco suggested, “Yeah. While you show off your tattoo, we'll scout around for some shady, underground types looking for shady formulas.”

As Frostee, Keno, Sonata, Cisco, Mikey and Donut went to scout around the area, Echo added, “Yeah, what could go wrong with that?”

”If some idiot plans to get the holler out, we'll lose our vehicles and everything we own. Everything!” Angel deadpanned.

While the team split up and scout for clues, the kid ran to the alleyway, making sure no one spotted him and sent a photo of the tattoo to someone on the rooftops.

Sonata, Keno, Mikey, Pinkie and Cisco were scouting around the market area with Donut on his shoulder. Cisco said, “Ah…the sweet smell of fresh produce and…ah, am I getting a hit of sugarcane? And lime? Wow, I can't even imagine what you're getting with your sense of smell.”

Donut saw a fly near him, caught it, and ate it. Sonata said in disgust, “Urgh! Let's get you some food before you move on to spiders.”

Then, Donut ran away and the teens chased after him. Mikey shouted, “Hey, Donut! Hey, come back!”

“Donut, calm down!” Pinkie called.

“Sorry about the monkey everyone!” Keno apologized, loudly.

The monkey stopped at the small market owned by an elderly man and grabbed a banana to eat. From there, the three teens panted for air and panted before he ran off again.

Cisco panted, “We are… so sorry. My pet monkey was behaving before we arrived, but… I guess he's hangry.”

The market owner wondered, “Huh.”

Sonata gave the owner money and apologized, “Here's for the bananas, and the strawberries, and… what is that he's eating right now?”

“A spork.”

Sonata grabbed Donut and told him, “Donut, that's not food.”

Keno ordered, “Take the spork out of your mouth!”

Donut spat the spork out and Cisco apologized, “So sorry, How much for the spork?”

The market owner chuckled, “How about you buy an acai bowl and we call it even?”

Cisco awkwardly chuckled, “Make it six. I'm Cisco. And these are my friends, Mikey, Keno, Sonata, Pinkie Pie, and Donut.”

“Beto,” The market owner introduced himself and shook everyone’s hands.

Mikey apologized, “But all the same, we are extremely sorry about our monkey friend.”

Beto laughed, “You kids are fine. This isn't first it's happened.”

Minutes later, Beto delivered six acai bowls to the teens and their monkey.

“So these are called ah-kye bowls? Am I saying that right, y'all?” Mikey asked them.

Beto pronounced, “It's ah-sah-EE.”

“Ah-sah-EE. I hope it's as fun to eat as it is pronounce,” Mikey took a piece of acai and ate it. “Mm.”

“This is good,” Cisco agreed.

Keno nodded, “I like it.”

“Hey um, quick question. Do you know if anyone's looking for a formula?” Pinkie asked.

Beto didn't understood her question. “A what?”

Pinkie explained, “A formula. You know what I'm saying? Equations? Science?”

Sonata added, “Tattoos?”

“Maybe my English is not so good, but you should slow down. You'll get a congelamento cerebral,” Beto warned the teens, who were continuing to eat the acai bowls.

“A what?” Cisco replied.

“Um, the cold head?” Beto said.

Pinkie knew what Beto meant. “Guys, what he's trying to say is that…”

Then, the teens and the monkey started to have a brain freeze, yelping in pain.

Sonata yelped, “Brain freeze!”

“There it is. You guys okay?” Beto asked in concern.

“It hurts so good!” Cisco laughed. “So good.”

Then, Zach and Caitlyn saw the teens and Zach asked, “What's going on here?”

“Guys, you should try out this food right here. It's so good,” Mikey told them, showing them acai bowls.

“Well, this might be beneficial for our school report about the food of Brazil. What do you think, sis?” Zach asked his sister.

Caitlyn sighed, “Fine, I'm getting hungry anyway.”

Pinkie smiled, “We'll take another round please.”

Beto smiled, “Of course,” He chuckled, ‘Kids, always enjoying life.”

Meanwhile, Frostee, Carter, Rainbow, Vinyl, Chaplin and Blade Swipe were among the crowd watching capoeira dancers while the musicians played some great, rhythmic music. Then, Frostee and Vinyl started to get into the beat by tapping their feet and moving their shoulders.

“Yo, check out Frostee. He's feeling the groove right there,” Chaplin pointed out as Frostee danced his way into the dance floor where the street performers danced, who were impressed by Frostee.

“Now this is the kind dancing I can get behind of,” Blade Swipe took off his weapons, and back flipped onto the dance floor.

“Nice moves,” Rainbow admitted. “But let me show you what I got!” And she began to dance as well.

“Oh, it's on now,” Frostee said and activated DJ Drone for the lights while Vinyl played her turntables, joining the musicians.

Carter grabbed his notebook, “I gotta write this down for my report.”

Rarity, Buffy, Twilight, Spike, and Applejack walked around the streets until they found a store full of clothing and dresses. The two fashionistas entered the store and looked around.

“Ooh, look at all these clothes. So exotic,” Buffy cheered.

“I totally agree with you, darling. These dresses would look great for my next fashion lineup,” Rarity nodded.

Applejack frowned, “Uh, may I remind you two that we're suppose to be looking for our friend, Layla. Not shopping around for dresses.”

“She's got a point there,” Twilight noted while Spike barked.

Buffy assured them, “Oh don't be silly, you guys. We're just going to take a look.”

Twilight asked them, “Do you even have Brazilian money to afford the dresses you want?”

Rarity answered, “I don't know. Maybe we should've asked Ms. Nowhere earlier. Let's come back when we get the chance.”

“I hope so,” Buffy nodded and the two fashionistas exited the store.

“Great. Now let's go,” Applejack ordered and everyone walked away from the store and continued their mission.

Meanwhile, Aria, Leo, Fluttershy, and Gabby were asking the locals some questions.

“Have you seen this girl?” Leo asked.

The male local answered, “No.”

Gabby asked another local, “¿Has visto a mi amigo por aquí?”

The second local shook her head, “No.”

As Aria was about to ask the third local, she told him, “Ni te lo pienses, tío.” She walked away after that.

“What does that even mean?” Aria asked Gabby.

“Roughly, she hasn't either,” Gabby told him.

April contacted Leo, “Me, Donnie, Fluttershy, and Aria haven't had any luck on finding Layla, Leo.”

Leo replied, “Just keep searching. We'll find her.”

“Oh, I hope we find her soon,” Fluttershy worried.

Meanwhile, Tony observed around until he saw two guys sitting on their table, watching soccer on TV.

“Time to reveal Marchello's backstory,” Tony stated, cracking his neck. He walked over to their table and greeted them, “Hey guys, How’s it going? My name's Marchello.”

The two men ignored “Marchello’s” handshake, trying to watching TV. “Marchello” continued, “Yeah. Just got out of prison in the States.You know how it is. The big house, right? The joint. Hard time.” The two time were annoyed by “Marchello” as he continued, “Anyway, I'm down here looking for my birth father. Rumor has it he got amnesia on a fishing trip,” The two men were trying to watch the soccer game as “Marchello” blocked the screen. “Yeah, yeah, he got hit in the head with a flying fish. His friend yelled, "Duck," but Pops just thought he saw a bird.” He then yawned, “Yup, anyway, I'm pretty tired. You know, from the joint.”

The crowd erupted on TV and the commentator shouted, “Goal!”

The two men were upset as one of them flipped the table, “No! We missed the goal!” They were angry at “Marchello” and approached them with serious intent.

“Marchello” nervously told them, “They'll show the instant replay! Right?” He was cornered by the two men until he pointed out behind them, “Goal!” They turned around and “Marchello” ran away from the two men.

Meanwhile, Echo was with her friends: Raph, Adagio, Angel, Casey, and Sunset, looking around to see the beautiful artwork in the streets.

Raph commented, “This place feels different from New York.”

Echo and Angel were amazed with the art and graffiti on the walls of Rio.

“Dope,” Casey and Echo complimented.

Sunset noted, “Impressive workmanship.”

“Whoa,” Angel gasped and saw another artwork of the eye.

Adagio suggested, “Maybe there's more to this story about the artwork.”

“Let's get to higher ground and take a look,” Sunset suggested, pointing up.

“Right behind you,” Raph followed her along with Adagio, Chaplin, and Casey.

Echo grabbed her gadget, turned it on, and tossed it right ob to the street lamp until her gadget transformed into a spider-bot. She turned on the controls from her phone and activated POV mode for her spider-bot. While Echo and Angel watched, Raph, Casey, Chaplin, and Adagio climbed up high to the rooftops to get a better view of the artwork. Parts of the graffiti lined up with the buildings and turned it into a big beautiful masterpiece of a woman’s face.

“Whoa,” Echo and Angel commented in unison.

Meanwhile in LA, Ms. Nowhere was spying on a handsome prince protected by his bodyguard.

“Uh Ms. Nowhere, I'm receiving a very hostile call from Karai Hamato,” Gary informed her.

Ms. Nowhere sighed, “Put her through.”

Karai called, straining to stay calm, “Nowhere, I was just calling to see if Gary could patch me through to my friends.”

Ms. Nowhere replied, “He can, but he is busy helping me with something.”

Gary interrupted her through comms, “Did you find the target?”

“He's right below me. I'm locked on to his eau de dude cologne,” Ms. Nowhere answered.

Gary replied, “The cologne you hate?”

“I only hate it when you bathe in it.”

Karai said in disgust, “Yuck, I hate cologne.”

“Meh, the scents aren't for everyone,” Gary shrugged. “But hey, I spray, delay, and walk away.”

Ms. Nowhere opened the manhole cover and continued, “Yeah, right! You pour, add more, and close the door.”

Suddenly, a black van pulled up in front of the prince and the suspect took out the bodyguard with a taser and kidnapped the prince.

“Did you get the tracker on?” Gary asked through the comms.

“Yeah,” Ms. Nowhere sniffed.

“If your having trouble, Nowhere. I could send some of my ninjas... For a price.” Karai offered, smugly.

Ms. Nowhere replied, “No need, Karai. I can handle this on my own because I am a one-woman army. And I can still smell that eau de dude. She sniffed deeply until she smelled the disgusting stench from the sewers and almost gagged. “Nope, nope, that's eau de deuce. Call the hazmat team.”

“What's your price, Karai?” Gary asked.

Karai answered, “She has to apologize to my friends for being heartless witch.”

Gary cringed, “Ooh, that's cold, girl.”

Meanwhile, Echo reunited her friends and told them, “The art up in this place is for real.”

Sunset continued, “We saw a bunch of smaller pieces that together, make up this huge mural of a woman.”

“Did you write all of that, sis?” Carter asked.

Angel answered, “I sure did.”

Frostee spoke up, “I learned capoeira. Actually, the music started playing, and it was like my body already knew what to do.”

Blade noted, “To me, it came naturally.”

Fluttershy carried Donut and Mikey told them, “Poor Donut's in a food coma. That's how good these acai bowls are.”

Tony clarified, “We have ah-SAI bowls in LA.”

Cisco corrected him, “Well not like the ones here. And it's pronounced ah-sah-EE.”

“That's what I said. Ah-SAI,” Tony replied.

“Ah-sah-EE! Ah-EE! I'm not hearing the ah-EE, dawg! Come on, Gabby, help me out here!” Cisco told Gabby.

“Um, it's accurate either way, Cisco,” Gabby noted.

“What! No way, you need to...” Donut put his tail on Cisco’s mouth to shut him up.

“Ha! Now that's funny,” Raph chuckled while Frostee and others snickered.

“Think those acai bowls are good with french fries?” Frostee asked.

“Or pizza?” Mikey and Keno chimed in.

“Or cupcakes,” Pinkie held one up.

“Or tacos,” Sonata suggested in as well.

Mikey noted, “There's only one way to find out, dude!”

Fluttershy asked, “How much acai bowls did you give to Donut?”

“He was hangry and we felt guilty about messing up the guy's booth!” Sonata explained.

Leo informed everyone, “We haven't had any luck finding Layla.”

Gabby stepped in, “Leo's right. We're getting off track. Our friend is out there and she needs us. We need to find Layla.”

Sunset nodded, “Best option right now is to find a place for the night and try again in the morning.”

“Man, who knew international spying would be this hard?” Tony quipped until some motorcycle punks drove passed the heroes and circled around them. “Oh... snap.”

After that, they stopped and one of the motorcyclists walked up to them along with the kid the heroes met earlier. Tony nervously chuckled until the motorcyclist saw his tattoo. He took off his helmet and greeted them, “Bem-vindo ao Rio.”

“Gabby, can you translate?” Leo asked Gabby.

Gabby answered, “That was Portuguese, I only know Spanish.”

”I know Portuguese,” Keno revealed. “He said Welcome to Rio.”

“I didn't know you spoke Portuguese?” Casey said.

“There's a lot you don't know about me,” Keno smirked.

Tony whispered, “Looks like Marchelo’s backstory did the trick.”

“Seriously?” Aria asked, facepalming in disbelief.

Echo pleaded, “Please tell me you didn't talk about the flying fish.”

The gang leader asked the kid, “You sure these are them?”

“Look for yourself,” The kid insisted as the gang leader took a good look at Tony’s tattoo.

The gang leader let go and informed the teens, “Follow us, amigos. We're heading back to HQ. The boss will meet us there.”

Leo nodded, “Lead the way.”

Everyone climbed into their vehicles as the kid approached Tony. The kid told him, “Thanks for the picture. I'm saving up for a car like yours.”

“Raph, I got a bad feeling about this,” Blade Swipe whispered to Raph. “Tell Aria and Applejack to stand by for a fight.”

Raph nodded and the heroes followed the gang leader to his boss’s headquarters.

“Uh, anyone have any idea who these guys are?” Zach asked.

“Not a clue,” Donnie stated.

Tony assumed, “Layla must be involved.”

“Are you sure about that?” Cisco asked.

Echo explained, “The organization that Ms. Nowhere sent Layla to investigate was the same group looking for the formula.”

Sunset informed her friends, “She has to be here. Everyone, stay sharp.”

“What kind of trouble did she get herself into, primo?” Gabby questioned her cousin.

Tony shrugged, “I don't know.”

The vehicles drove straight upwards, heading towards the gate of the mansion. From there, they were stopped by two bodyguards and recognized their members. The bodyguard called through his walkie-talkie, “Open the gates.”

Aria followed everyone with her key car and informed her friends through comms, “I don't like this. Not one bit.”

“Me either,” Buffy agreed, stuttering with fear.

Then, Frostee saw the same flowers from the tattoo on the field. “That's the flower from the formula!”

Spike said, “Maybe it's their national flower or something.”

Echo informed Spike, “Brazil's national flower is the ipê.”

Twilight noted, “She's definitely correct.”

Cisco scoffed, “You know an awful lot about flowers. How long were you in Girl Scouts?”

“Oh, I'm the cookie queen, dawg.” Echo smiled, feeling proud of herself.

Rarity suggested an idea to Echo through comms, “I don't suppose you be interested in helping my little sister with her Filly Guide scout, Echo.”

Echo nodded, “Sure, Rares.”

Everyone arrived at the mansion and exited their vehicles as the gang leader stood on the balcony. He instructed the visitors, “All right, the boss will be here in a few. Wait inside.”

“Caitlyn, Zach, Buffy, Angel, Carter, you all stay here inside the car while the rest of us go inside. Does that sound clear?” Leo informed the teens through his T-Phone.

Angel replied, “Loud and clear, Leo. Carter and I will protect them.” But then she noticed something in one of windows. A figure was peeking through a curtain, watching the group. Especially the Ninjas. Angel frowned in suspicion.

Everyone went inside and Rarity gasped, “The inside looks enormous. Must be from a wealthy family, I presume.”

Rainbow nodded, “Yeah, this is a great place here.”

The teens looked around and followed the gang leader.

“Whoa,” Blade Swipe said as the teens saw a picture of a young woman with pink hair and in a Victorian-styled dress.

Cisco jumped on the couch and said, “Man, this fancy furniture is so uncomfortable. Give me a recliner from the dump any day.”

“Uncomfortable?! How dare…” Rarity was interrupted by Applejack and Rainbow, restraining her.

Rainbow told her, “Easy, Rarity. Let it go.”

Raph looked at the mural of a woman and asked, “Hey, doesn't this girl look familiar to you?”

Echo looked at the mural as well and answered, “Yeah. That's the woman from the murals! Check this out,” She walked towards the window and saw the giant painting on the street earlier. “That's what I was telling you about earlier. Who is that?”

The gang leader chuckled, “Santa Rafaela.”

“Rafaela?!” Raph gasped while Casey, Mikey, Keno, and Chaplin laughed.

Casey spoke, “That's like the girl version of your name, Raph!”

“Yeah!” Mikey chuckled.

“Will you guys shut it!” Raph insisted, angrily.

“She must be really important,” Twilight noted, carrying Spike as he barked.

“Important is an understatement,” The gang leader laughed. “This was her home.”

The gang leader narrated her backstory.

“As you can see, Rafaela came from wealth. Her father ran the Moreno family, one of the five families that control the favelas in Rio. Senhor Moreno was a strong and violent man. But Rafaela,” He sighed, “…was a saint. Kind to the widows and orphans. Beloved by the creatures of the forest. And her voice… enough to make an angel cry with envy. She was pure, like a flower that grows through the pavement cracks. But, we lost our angel when gangsters from. the other four families assassinated her father. Rafaela was accidentally caught in the crossfire. Still, the memory of her graceful beauty lives on.”

Mikey and a few others struggled not to cry.

“Poor girl,” Rarity cried.

Fluttershy teared up, “I'm sure she is in a better place now.”

“The price of evil is always the innocent,” Blade Swipe touched his scar.

Meanwhile, Ms. Nowhere tracked down the prince in an abandoned warehouse at an undisclosed location, guarded by the kidnappers’ bodyguards. She perched on top of the steel railings and observed the scene below.

“I think I've got eyes on Prince Ivan!” Nowhere used her spy glasses to get a closer look until she noticed something off from Prince Ivan. “Hold on a second. I'm mentally stroking that hair and it doesn't feel as full as it did before. That's not him! I'm going closer.”

“She doesn't know I'm recording everything she's saying, right?” Karai asked, smugly.

Gary smugly replied, “Nope.”

Ms. Nowhere whispered, “Hello, I can still hear you two, you know.”

The real Prince Ivan was tied into a chair with his mouth taped shut and had no uniform on except his boxers, socks, and T-shirt. The impostor told the prince, “I will take control of your country by pretending to be you! Unfortunately, there can only be one Prince Ivan, so we're going to have to do something about that.”

Ms. Nowhere turned off the comms to Karai and Gary. From there, she sneaked around to find a spot to ambush her enemies until she bumped into one of the bodyguards, shrieking her. A minute later, she was captured.

“Hey boss, we found her sneaking in.”

The impostor interrogated her, “Who are you?”

Nowhere answered, “His bodyguard.”

“Well you're about to be out of the job,” The impostor pulled out his rapier and Nowhere gasped.

Back in Rio, the gang leader saw a car parking in front of the mansion it from the window. He told everyone, “The boss is here.”

Everyone stood up and Tony said, “All right, guys. It's Marchello time.”

Leo informed his team, “Stay alert, everyone.”

A shadowy figure entered the mansion and headed upstairs along with two bodyguards. Tony got a good look of the boss’s face until he said, “Huh?”

“¿Qué?” Gabby reacted.

The light shined upon the boss and the Turtles, Rainbooms, Dazzlings, Casey, April, and Spy Racers were in shock to see who was in charge. A familiar friend from before. The girl who they were searching for throughout Rio. Layla Gray.

“Who is she?” Blade asked.

Rainbow whispered, “That's Layla Gray. She is a friend of ours.”

“Well that was fast,” Chaplin stated.

“And why's she with these guys?” Keno asked.

Aria guessed, “She must be undercover or something?"

”I'm not sure,” Gabby whispered. “Something doesn't feel right.”

“So you're the famous guy with the formula.”

Tony introduced himself, “Marchello.”

“Right…” Layla sarcastically said and pulled Tony’s arm. She ordered the gang leader, “Rocha, take a photo of the formula.”

The gang leader, Rocha, snapped the photo of the formula and told her, “Got it.”

Layla let Tony go and shoved him while his friends caught it. “Good. Now take them out,” She ordered and her men armed themselves with machetes.

The teens gasped while Mikey and Pinkie exclaimed, holding onto each other, “Take us out?!”

“Yes, cause we don't need Marchello no more!” Layla said. “That, and we just got strict orders to eliminate y'all immediately, especially all of you!” She pointed at the Ninjas.

“Oh yeah, from who?” Raph asked.

“From me!” Came a familiar voice in a Spanish accent.

The Ninjas flinched as they recognized the voice.

“No!” Sunset gasped.

”It can't be?!” Donnie exclaimed.

“It can, and it is!” Stepping out of the shadows was a mutant fish that the Turtles and Rainbooms knew all too well.

“Fishface?!” The Ninjas gasped in shocked.

“Do not call me that!” Fishface growled.

Tony and the crew were surprised by mutant as well.

“Yo, is that a fish?” Echo asked.

“With robot legs?!” Frostee exclaimed.

”The name is Xever,” Fishface introduced himself. “And to my old amigos, say hello to my little friend!” Then he threw a small device that landed at the Turtles.

Chaplin instantly recognized the device, “EMP!” He shouted.

But right after he said that, the EMP let out a small charge and the Turtles’ disguises were deactivated revealing themselves.

Layla’s men gasped at the sight of the Turtles and Rocha asked, “What are they?!”

“Mutants like myself, and my sworn enemies,” Fishface answered. “Destroy them all!”

Leo ordered his team, “Everyone, take 'em down.”

The Ninjas armed themselves with their weapons alongside the Spy Racers and battled against Layla, Fishface, and their men.

“I thought you said Layla is your friend,” Blade Swipe retorted while dodging the goon’s machete attacks.

Sunset answered while dodging, “She is! Or we thought she was!”

The Turtles fought Fishface with his balisword as the mutant said, ”Surprised to see me, Tortugas?”

“Totally!” Mikey admitted.

“Well, not as surprised as I was to find all of you here in my home land!” Fishface scowled as he kicked Mikey away and fought Leo. “What are you doing here anyway?!”

“We came looking for our friend Layla!” Leo answered.

“And to find out about that formula on the tattoo,” Donnie added, knocking Fishface back with his staff.

“Don't suppose you know what it is?” Raph asked as he clashed with Fishface.

“That is for me to know and you to never find out!” Fishface rebuked. “But I will say this, for what we've got planned, is something that the Shredder himself could never top!” Then he jump up and drop-kicked Raph into his brothers, knocking them all down.

Layla fought Tony and Gabby on the staircase.

“Layla! It's us, your amigos. Remember?” Gabby called while dodging Layla’s punches.

Layla managed to land a punch on Gabby, knocking her down the stairs, then she swung a kick at Tony who dodged and she smashed her leg right through the banister.

”Rrrr!” Layla cried in pain.

“Oh no, you okay?!” Tony held her shoulder, only for Layla shove him off and punch him right in the gut. ”Urgh! Uh... wow you're really keeping your cover...” he groaned before slumping to the floor.

With a yell, Gabby plowed into Layla, pushing up the stairs and into a wall. “Layla, what's wrong with you?!” Instead of answering, Layla kicked her off and threw a punch, but Gabby ducked, double punched her in the gut, then grabbed hold of her. “I'm sorry, amiga!” And she threw her off the balcony and right on top of Fishface, who was just about to stab Mikey with his sword, knocking the two in a heap.

“Awesome save, Gabby!” Mikey gave a thumbs up.

“Don't celebrate just yet!” Donnie said as more thugs arrived.

Echo dodged Rocha’s machete attacks and spin kicked him. “Yo, we gotta leave now!”

Sunset alerted everyone, “Everyone, out of the building.”

“Cisco, the couch!” Applejack told him.

Cisco passed the couch to Applejack and used her super strength to throw the couch out of the window.

Blade grabbed a hockey stick from Casey, “May I?”

“Sure.” Casey confirmed.

“Go! I'll catch up!” Blade fend off against Layla’s men with the hockey stick.

After that, Cisco jumped out of the window first and landed on the couch. He groaned before rolling down to the ground, “That would've been more comfortable without the couch.”

The Spy Racers and the Dazzlings landed on the couch and Sonata suggested, groaning in pain, “Or better yet, we could've used a mattress.”

Then, the rest of the Ninjas and Rainbooms carried Spike, Casey and April with their magic powers to safety outside the mansion while Blade Swipe jumped and used his kyoketsu-shoge as a grappling hook.

“So glad I decided to reinforce this thing,” Blade remembered.

Everyone raced back towards their vehicles and immediately drove away from the mansion.

“What happened back there, you guys?” Buffy asked.

Sunset answered, “Layla happened.”

“Really? You found her?” Zach said.

“Yes. But then she ordered those goons to kill us,” Gabby stated, driving the Turtle Racer.

”I thought you said she was your friend?” Carter asked, riding his bike with Angel.

“She is!” Tony assured. “She's just working undercover!”

“Ordering your friends to be killed is working undercover?” Caitlyn asked doubtfully.

“Uh... maybe?” Tony replied weakly.

“I'm not sure it's that either,” Gabby said in thought. “Something's wrong with her...”

“Um, guys!” Mikey called over the comms.

"We've got company!" Pinkie added.

Layla and her thugs were in their cars and Fishface on his motorcycle were chasing after the teens.

“You can not escape, fools!” The mutant roared.

“Wait, is that Fishface?!” Buffy gasped.

“Yep, we were just as shocked,” Raph said.

“Okay, now it is the time to call Ms. Nowhere!” Tony shouted.

Gabby agreed, “For once, I agree with you, primo.”

“I'm on it,” Frostee noted and used his spy watch to contact Nowhere. “Donnie, Twilight, Chaplin, contact Ms. Nowhere now.”

“Right,” The tech geniuses noted.

Raph commented through comms, “It feels like we're swallowing our pride on that.”

Spike replied through comms, “Yeah, but we don't have much of a choice now, Raph.”

The Ninjas and Racers reached towards the gate and Leo shouted, “Cisco, gate!”

“All over it!” Cisco acknowledged, driving his truck straight ahead and rammed the gate open.

“We're free!” Sonata cheered and the heroes exited the area.

Meanwhile, Nowhere was tied up into a chair alongside the real Prince Ivan. Then, Ms. Nowhere got a text from Frostee in her spy glasses.

Frostee: HEEELP! We're in deep 💩. We need HELPPLDKDFJF!

Donnie: Sorry, bumpy road!

Frostee: Hssdsaksdlfisfd.

Twilight: Sorry, bumpy road!

Nowhere ignored their texts and smirked to the impostor, “So you went and changed your face just so you could go on living your life as if you're the prince? That's creepy.”

The impostor marched towards Nowhere and replied, “It's not creepy! It's part of something bigger…”

While he continued talking, Nowhere saw more texts from Frostee.

Twilight: HELLO?

Chaplin: Are you ignoring us??!!!?

Frostee: Srsly!!!

“…but I'm afraid you'll never live to see it. Our plan will bring the world to its knees.”

Back in Rio, the Ninjas and Spy Racers were continued to being chased by Layla’s henchmen.

“I think Ms. Nowhere is ignoring us,” Frostee said as he was spooked by Donut, pounding lightly on his watch. “Argh!”

Twilight agreed through comms, “I know, right?”

”Blade, Carter, Keno... With me and AJ! We got company!” Raph ordered while Fishface and some of the manor thugs raced after the heroes like hungry hyenas.

In another path, Layla chased after the Torettos and she bumped them one at a time.

“What was that?” Applejack asked through comms.

“Uh, that was just Layla protecting her cover through a friendly game of bumper cars.”

“Is it though?” Echo asked.

Blade assumed, “It sounds more like she's trying to kill us!”

Gabby remarked, “Layla wouldn't turn on us. Tony and I know it.”

“Are you sure?” Frostee skeptically replied.

Tony shouted, “She saved my life in Vegas!”

“So she could kill you now?” Casey asked.

Adagio ordered them through comms, “Guys, let's escape first. Then argue.”

Layla got angry and pushed a button on her car and the saw blades popped up from her car.

“Not again,” Gabby shook her head.

In another path, Rocha was chasing after Echo, Vinyl, and Aria as he bumped Echo’s car from behind.

Echo informed Aria and Vinyl, “Time for an alley rally, girls.”

“Right behind you, Echo.” Aria answered while Vinyl gave her a thumbs-up from her car window.

The girls drifted to the left and they drove through the gap on two wheels while Rocha’s car got stuck on the gap.

Echo informed her friends, “We lost our guy. Everyone else having fun?”

The teens replied except Blade, “Eeyup.”

Blade Swipe commented, “Define fun.”

“Not much of a racer, Blade?” Tony asked through comms.

“Are you kidding? We don't even have cars in Equestria!” Blade shouted.

“Guys, avoid running over the civilians down the road and focus,” Leo reminded everyone.

Gabby replied, “Yeah, yeah, we got it.”

“Hey Tony, Gabby, how's Layla's cover looking right now?” Echo asked through comms.

Tony chuckled, “Rock solid.”

Aria suggested through comms, “Well, maybe it's time to actually consider that she turned bad.”

Raph quipped, “Or the fact that she wasn't our friend.”

“She IS our friend, idiotas! Layla's not herself right now. So stop arguing with us and focus please!” Gabby shouted.

Tony said, “Turned bad, keeping her cover, either way we gotta find a way to escape. Luckily, I found a shortcut.”

Applejack asked, “A shortcut to where?”

“Good question,” Tony answered. “'Cause we're about to find out.”

Gabby asked the geniuses, “Frostee, Twilight, Donnie, Chaplin, have you guys got a hold of Ms. Nowhere yet?!”

The tech geniuses answered, “No!”

Twilight continued, “She's still ignoring our texts.”

The rest of the girls commented through comms, “Ugh, how rude of her!”

“It's not like we can see that she's read them,” Frostee then got something from his watch, “Oh, I can see.”

While Layla continued chasing the Torettos, they took some sharp turns until she caught up with them.

Tony panicked, “Guys, I really need some help here!”

Frostee replied through comms, “Okay! We'll try again!”

Back at the warehouse, Nowhere was still held captive in the impostor’s base of operations with Prince Ivan.

“So, who do you work for? Cleve Kelso?” Ms. Nowhere asked the impostor.

“For? You think I need someone else to see my plan into fruition?” The impostor answered while Twilight sent her some skull and ambulance emojis, meaning that they need help, badly.

Nowhere continued, “You said "our" plan earlier. And since you're the one who got the face change, I figure the other guy must be in charge. It's Ricky Five Fingers isn't it?”

“I don't work for anybody! We're partners! And doesn't everyone have five fingers?” The impostor showed his hand.

“No dummy, four fingers and a thumb! Is it Big Bob Chinatown? Sudarikov? The Looker? If you plan to look us, does it matter if I know who you you work for?” Nowhere shouted, goading him to spill the beans.

“Fine, I've been wanting to tell someone my plan anyway. It's just too good not to share!” The impostor confessed.

“Looking back, I think it all started when I was young. I was known throughout my village as "The Butterfly Boy" for my love of lepidopterology…”

While listening to his story, Nowhere got a text from the geniuses again and used a laser from her watch to cut the ropes tied to her hands.

Donnie: THIS IS SERIOUS! We're being chased by bad guys in Rio! Nowhere to go!

“…though it would be year's before I emerged from my own chrysalis.”

“Fine. Forget it. I can't stand long-winded stories anyway.” Nowhere stood up and the impostor shrieked, alarming his men that Nowhere's free. Nowhere quickly took down her guards with her fast kicks and reflexes, knocking them unconscious. She went after the impostor and quickly grabbed her rapier, but Nowhere stopped him and tossed it aside. After that, she threw the impostor down to the ground.

“Don't mess with my new face!” The impostor begged her.

Ms. Nowhere did not care about his face and punched him anyway, knocking him out as well. She cracked her knuckles, “Butterfly metaphors are for tween girls.”

Back in Rio, while Layla’s goons continued chasing after her former friends, Frostee, Donnie, Chaplin, and Twilight got a text from Ms. Nowhere.

Twilight shouted, “Ah! Ms. Nowhere's texting! Huh…”

“What did she say?” Spike asked.

“Sounds like we ruined her mission, but she's got a safe house location for us. Sending directions to you now!” Twilight answered and sent the coordinates to her friends.

While the motorcyclists continued chasing after Cisco’s truck and Sonata’s key car, Donut shrieked.

Cisco said, “Yo, we might be in trouble. I can't shake these guys. Or girls. It's hard to tell with the helmets.”

Far from the car chase, the kid from earlier opened the garage door while Beto pushed the cart until they heard sounds of vehicles coming towards him.

The kid gasped, “Grandpa! Look out!”

Cisco and Sonata slammed hard on the breaks and their cars stopped just in time as the motorcycles crashed into them, sending the motorcyclists flying into the other house.

The kid ran to his grandpa and hugged him, feeling relieved. He pointed to his house and told Cisco, Frostee, and Sonata, “Quick! In here!”

“Hey! You're the kid who ratted us out earlier!” Cisco remembered.

“Why should we trust you?” Sonata questioned the kid.

The kid answered, “Because you just saved my meu avô.”

The trio followed and entered his house as the kid said, “Plus, I wanna check out your cars.”

As Fishface and the thugs chased Raph and Applejack, Carter, Blade, and Keno rode out of alleys and pulled along side the henchmen.

“Hey!” Keno called to one of them and spoke in Portuguese, ”Seu sapato está desmarrado!”

“Huh?” The goon looked down and Keno kicked him in the head, knocking him conscious.

Then he pulled in front of the car as Blade took his sword and shot a lightning bolt at the goon's car, causing it to flip and crash into some of the other cars.

“What did you say to him?” Blade asked Keno.

“That his shoes were untied,” Keno smirked.

Carter and Angel pulled next to a car that had it's window rolled down, “Evening, man!” He greeted, before he reached over and grabbed the goon's head and smashed it against the steering wheel multiple times before pulling away.

“Later!” Angel called. And before the goon realized it, he smashed right into a wall.

Back with Fishface, he was pulling up closer to Applejack’s truck.

“Can't you drive any faster?” Raph asked her.

“I've putting the hammer down!” Applejack replied, pumping the gas pedal. “But this is as fast as my truck will go!” Just then, Fishface jumped into the truck's roof. “Hey, no hickhikers!” She swerved the truck, trying to shake Fishface off.

Fishface held on and replied, “Oh, I will, just as soon as I carve up some turtle and cowgirl!” He jabbed his sword through her roof, barely missing her and Raph.

“That's it!” Raph climbed up and tackled Fishface into the back of the truck and the two began to fight until Fishface managed to pin Raph down.

“Farewell, turtle!” Fishface raised his sword.

“Fare well, fish boy!”

"¿Qué?" Fishface looked up to see Angel and Carter pull up as the girl jumped over and kicked him off Raph and began whacking him with her stick.

This gave Raph time to get, grab Fishface, and throw of the truck, sending him tumbling away. Then he turned to Angel, “Thanks.”

“No sweat,” Angel replied.

Meanwhile, Layla continued chasing after Tony and Gabby’s cars in the narrow streets of Rio. As they continued, there was a truck up ahead and as the Torettos saw it, they shifted into high gear and drove pass the truck in a split-second. Layla hit the brakes and drove around the truck. After that, they were heading straight towards a cliff.

“Hold on Dr. Cluckingsworth!” Gabby yelled as the chicken clucked.

“Say a prayer for me!” Tony yelled.

The Torettos pressed the turbo button to gain more speed and the two cars jumped over the cliff while screaming.

One moment later, the Torettos landed on the road safely and sighed in relief.

Gabby said, “That was a close one, primo.”

Tony chuckled, “I know, right? Now let's find a safe place to stay before Layla catches us again.”

Layla exited the vehicle and watched the Torettos escape. She growled, vowing to get revenge on them.

Back at the warehouse, Ms. Nowhere released Prince Ivan and contacted her agent, “Gary, send in the maids. I got four loads for the dry cleaner.”

Prince Ivan approached her, “You got captured on purpose just to find out that maniac's master plan? You could've escaped at any moment?”

“That's right,” Nowhere answered while Prince Ivan followed her, fascinated by her bravery and skill.

Prince Ivan smiled, “Impressive in any way. Who are you?”

Ms. Nowhere took off her shades, “Many have asked, few have ever really found out,”

“Wait! Let me give you my number!”

“Not to be creepy, but I already have it,” Nowhere opened the door and exited the warehouse while the prince was left smiling and Karai pretended to gag through comms.

She hopped on to her motorcycle until Gary called from her spy watch, “Sorry you didn't get to find out who the Impostor was working for.”

Ms. Nowhere replied, “Yeah, bummer. I guess I'll be the surveilling the prince in the future. What's the status on the Ninjas and Tony's team in Rio?”

Gary answered, “Sounds like they made it to the safe house, boss.”

“Good. Let them know I'm on the way and I'm glad they're safe.”

“Oh, that's nice,” Gary commented.

“Because I'm gonna kill them myself!” Nowhere yelled. driving off to Rio to find the teens.

“Ah, that's more like it,” Gary nodded.

Karai sighed through comms, “Gary... Please keep my friends safe.”

Gary replied through comms, “Don't worry. I like them too much to let anything happen to them.”

Back in Rio, Fishface was trying to call someone on the phone, “Pick up, pick up!” He grumbled.

The caller finally answered in a cheerful female voice, “Hello, who is it? I'm very busy!”

Fishface informed the caller, “It's Xever! We've got... a complication.”

“Uh-oh, you know I don't like bad news, Xevy!” The caller replied.

”The girl's friends from that agency are here, and even worse, my enemies the Turtles and Rainbooms are with them!” Fishface said.

“Really?” The caller sounded intrigue. “Guess I'm going to have to make a few changes to the plan, won't I!”

“Rest assured, they will not interfere with your plan again,” Fishface promised.

“They better not, Xevy!” The caller said cheerfully. “Or I'll turn you into sushi! Kay, gotta go, bye!” The call ended after that.

“Geez! She is more annoying than Michelangelo and Pinkie Pie!” Fishface signed. ”And that is saying a lot!”

Combustion

Every one of Layla’s men were searching around the streets of Rio as Tony, Echo, Gabby, April, and Twilight with her dog, Spike, inside her bag ziplined from one rooftop to another until they reached towards a safehouse that was owned by Dominic Toretto.

“The streets are crawling with Layla's buddies,” Echo told him as she landed safely inside the safehouse.

“You two sure this place is safe?” Twilight asked.

Tony assured her, “Of course. This is Dom's safe house, there's no place safer than this.”

Echo asked, “Didn’t he get caught here?”

“That’s what he wanted,” Tony answered.

Gabby remembered something and said, “Was that the time he and his crew stole a whole giant vault and drove through the street?”

“Is everyone in your family, spies or just natural adrenaline junkies?” Spike asked.

Twilight shouted, “Spike!”

Gabby wondered, “Actually, that's a question I'd like to asked myself.”

“Nah, that was a different time,” Tony denied.

Twilight inquired, “Stealing a whole vault? I find it impossible.”

Tony then shows Twilight old footage of two cars pulling a giant vault through the streets of Rio. This caused Twilight to jaw-drop.

“But that’s… scientifically impossible!” Twilight exclaimed.

April wondered,"I hope the others are okay."

"Don't worry, April. We'll call them," Gabby told her.

Tony said, “Anyway, we gotta figure out how I can talk to Layla without blowing her cover. I know she hasn't flipped.”

Meanwhile, the team of Cisco, Sonata, and Frostee were staying at the Beto’s house.

“Thanks again for the hospitality,” Sonata told Beto and Lucas.

Cisco contacted Tony through his spy watch, “I don’t know, T. She looked mad when she was chasing you.”

“Like even madder than you look when you’re chasing her,” Frostee inquired.

“What? When am I ever chasing her?” Tony flabbergasted through comms.

With Donut hanging on Sonata's arm, she told him, "You know, like when you and Rainbow Dash chased her throughout your entire first race with her."

“Or the time you chased her through the construction site or in the mines.” Cisco remembered while eating his cookies, but also trying to prevent Donut from eating his cookies.

Frostee remembered as well, “Aw yeah, the mines! You were behind her, like, the whole time!”

“Yeah she seemed pretty annoyed by that,” Sonata added.

“THAT WAS A MISSION! Otherwise, I'd have been in front of her!” Tony shouted in the safe house.

“Yeah, mad like that,” Echo pointed out after skating around with her skateboard. “Look, Layla’s probably in charge of this gang now. She is a criminal. We only met her because she helped steal the keys to an all-powerful super weapon.”

Frostee continued, “But then she stole the key to Shashi. And that’s like, stealing for good.”

“And if it wasn’t for Layla, we wouldn’t be able to stop Shashi and save Vegas,” Sonata stated.

“Oh, one time she asked me to "borrow" a tissue. And that just rubbed me the wrong way… It’s not like she was gonna give it back!” Cisco prevented Donut from getting his jar of cookies. “Anyway, I agree with Echo. She's a criminal.”

Donut shrieked as Gabby replied, “Only one way to be sure. If Tony and I can talk to Layla, we can find out what's going on. We just need to find her.”

“Wait! I know where Layla is.” Echo spoke up.

“You do?” April asked.

“Yeah, I got a tracker on her back at the fight in the mansion. Didn’t everyone place trackers on the gangsters during the fight?”

“Great. Let’s go find her,” Tony cheered.

Echo acknowledged, “Okay, but if she kills us, I told you so.”

Tony and Gabby started to have doubts on Layla and Tony informed everyone through comms, “We'll hit the streets. Sonata, Cisco, and Frostee, lay low at Beto's until the coast is clear. See if you can gather any useful intel while you're there.”

Frostee replied in comms, “Copy that.”

Gabby also told Frostee, “And contact the rest of our friends and tell them where to meet up.”

”Can do,” Frostee understood in comms.

“Take Spike with you. He's small enough to sneak around,” Twilight informed her friend.

Spike smiled, “Yeah, I can be sneaky.”

Echo picked up Spike and said, “Okay, little buddy. But try not to shed on my jacket.”

Gabby told everyone, “If we're going to find Layla, we need to approach this carefully 'cause they already know what our cars look like, so we're gonna have to find some new rides.”

“How 'bout this?” Echo took off the tarp and unveiled a motorcycle.

Tony cheered, “Awesome!”

“I'll help Frostee contact the others,” Twilight said.

April hollered, “I'll be on lookout in case there's trouble.”

Gabby whispered to the two girls, “Wait, you two are going to want to see this.”

Tony put on a helmet and hopped onto the motorcycle. He kick started the engine, but nothing happened. “Ah, come on. Uh… what the--”

He had a hard time figuring out how it works and Echo wondered, “Uh, have you actually rode on a motorcycle before?” Echo walked towards the motorcycle and started the engines like she actually knew how it worked.

Tony answered, “Oh. Technically no, but I'm a Toretto! How hard can it be?” He started driving the motorcycle, but Tony was having difficulty with riding on it. “This is hard! This is very, very hard! Aghh!” Tony screamed until he crashed into a pile of wood and groaned in pain after that.

“Ooh, that's gonna hurt,” April said.

“You know something, the first time he drove a motorcycle, he ended up crashing into a pond.” Gabby whispered until she and her friends giggled.

Echo shook her head after witness Tony’s motorcycle fail. “Oh Tony, what will I do without you?”

Minutes later, Echo and Gabby drove their motorcycles with Tony holding on to Echo while carrying Twilight's backpack as Spike enjoyed the wind. After that, they stopped at Layla’s location.

“Dom can't know about this,” Tony said.

Echo sighed as Blade Swipe was jumping on the roofs when he spotted the group on the motorcycle. “Time for spy vision,” Echo said as she turned on her spy glasses.

The interface in the spy glasses uploaded the coordinates of the map while Echo and Gabby drove their motorcycles to the left.

Meanwhile, Sonata, Cisco, Frostee, and Donut were still staying at Beto’s house. With the kid watching, Beto wore his kitchen apron and presented the teens and the monkey a plate of chips on the table.

“These are cassava chips. They’re good dipped in acai,” Beto said.

An amazed Cisco cheered, “Bro, Brazillian fro-yo fries!”

"Never heard of that before," Sonata inquired.

Frostee whooped and before he took a bite out of the cassava chip, he saw a picture of a woman with her race car. “Hmm. Isn't that the same girl from the murals?”

“I didn't know saints were allowed to drive,” Cisco noticed too.

Beto answered, “Ah, Rafaela certainly was.”

Sonata asked, "Beto, is there anything you can tell us about Rafaela?"

“Rafaela was our princess and our champion.”

Beto continued explaining Rafaela’s backstory along with Lucas in a flashback.

“Every year, the crime bosses that control the favelas hold a Corrida das Cinco Famílias. The crime bosses drove their cars in a race throughout the neighborhood of Rio,” Betos explained.

Lucas stated, “It's this awesome street race through the neighborhood! The cars are unreal!”

Beto continued, “For decades, the Morenos had lost the race.”

Lucas exclaimed, “Till Rafaela got behind the wheel! She was our champion two years running. Some said it was because of her front wing design, but I think it was her sweet turning vanes!”

Rafaela was in her orange race car and drove right past the cars in front of her. She reached the finish line and won the race with the trophy in hand. The crowd cheered and lifted her up as Rafaela celebrated her victory.

Beto continued, “The Morenos were lifted up by this beautiful angel. Finally, our neighborhood could be proud. But at last year’s race, something tragic happened.”

Suddenly, after the race was finished, Rafaela’s car unexpectedly exploded with her inside. The trophy fell on the ground and everyone gasped, shocked at the sight of their fallen champion as the sirens wailed.

The flashback ended as Betos sadly told Sonata, Donut, and the two Spies, “That was the day we lost our champion. The five families have been warring for control over the Moreno favela ever since. Many think there'll be violence at the Corrida das Cinco Famílias next week.”

Back in the streets of Rio, the team of Spike, Gabby, Tony, and Echo arrived at the coordinates of Layla’s location.

“Finally, this is my chance,” Tony said as Gabby and Spike followed him to the alleyway.

“Me too,” Spike added.

Echo informed them, “I got lookout.”

Then, Blade Swipe perched on a rooftop and remained quiet as Echo saw a businessman going to the alleyway.

She alerted her pals through her spy watch, “Hey, yo! Someone's coming!”

Tony quickly used the invisibility cloak with Gabby and Spike beside him and hid themselves between the trash bins from the incoming person. The businessman then met up with Layla and a mysterious person with a hoodie for a meeting.

Spike sniffed a familiar scent and saw Layla too. The dog said, “Layla's here too. Stay quiet.”

Tony observed closer until he accidentally dropped the trash can lid.

Gabby and Spike whispered, “Seriously?!”

Layla heard the sound of clatter near her and went to check the disturbance. She observed the area and Echo secretly used her drone to create a distraction. She growled, “Stupid rats.”

Tony told her, “Thanks, Echo.”

Blade Swipe lowered his Kyoketsu-shoge to the three individuals. He quietly told them, “Grab on. I'll pull you up.”

“Thanks, but Gabby and I are good here,” Tony whispered.

“Suit yourself,” Spike nodded and grabbed Blade Swipe's weapon with his teeth. After that, he pulled the dog up to the rooftops while Echo used her drone to record the footage of Layla and two other people from her phone.

”Blade Swipe, you're okay!” Spike jumped onto his pal.

Blade Swipe hugged him back, “I'm happy to see you both too.”

While Blade Swipe put Spike on his shoulder, he asked, “Are the others with you?”

“No. It's just me.”

The meeting fell through and Layla grabbed ahold of the businessman. The hooded figure pulled out a phone and sprayed some sort of fragrance at the businessman until he was entranced. The hooded figure ordered Layla to leave while the businessman went with the hooded figure. Layla ran to her car while the Torettos followed, but Layla got away and Echo stopped by to meet with the two Torettos.

Echo asked them, “What just happened?”

“I don't know. We gotta follow Layla,” Tony said as he hopped on to Echo's motorcycle.

While Gabby put on her helmet and hopped onto her motorcycle, Echo suggested, “Shouldn't we stay and find out who these people are with Layla?”

Gabby answered, “No, we're here to talk to Layla. Vamanos!”

“I'll see you guys later while Spike and I go get the rest of our friends!” Blade told them.

The three teens nodded and proceeded to follow Layla while Spike and Blade Swipe went to find the rest of their friends.

Meanwhile, the team of Cisco, Frostee, and Sonata were eating their cassava chips until everyone in Beto’s house heard an alarm coming from outside.

“What kind of sound is that?” Sonata asked.

Beto answered, “It's a warning. There’s going to be a capoeira fight.”

Frostee whooped and laughed, “Sounds like my time to shine! Not to freak you out, but I’m basically the Capoeira Kid. Woohoo!”

Outside, people gathered around in the neighborhood to witness a fight centered around the capoeira fighters. Frostee, Cisco, and Sonata wore face masks to conceal themselves with Donut hanging on Cisco’s shoulder as they followed Beto and Lucas.

Beto explained, “Since Señor Moreno was killed, the other gangs have been battling to take over for this neighborhood.”

“Ah, this is dope! I want in!” Frostee cheered.

Cisco smiled, “Yeah, I wanna be a Capoeira Kid!”

Lucas laughed, “You're not going to want a piece of this.”

The two combatants battled in the circle and their kicks collided. The female capoeira fighter leg swept the tall male capoiera fighter and jumped up high to take him down. However, he saw it coming and rolled over to dodge the incoming attack. They continued fighting until the man tripped and the woman jump kicked him, sending him flying out of the circle.

“Oh… This is a different style of capoeira than I'm accustomed to,” Frostee said.

“Fascinating,” A voice said as Sonata and the Spies looked to their right and saw Carter and Angel taking notes from their notebook while Buffy and Zach watched with Caitlyn recording from her phone.

Sonata greeted them, “Glad you can make it, guys.”

Then, the rest of the Ninjas, Allies, and Spies entered the neighborhood with their face masks on.

Cisco greeted them, “Hey, guys! Meet our friend, Beto.”

Echo then noticed Layla on the field. “Look, there's Layla.”

Layla entered with a fiery look in her eyes. She shoved the fighter and said, “This is Moreno turf, hoss!”

“Not anymore! We're coming to take over.”

“You'll have to come through me,” Layla fired back until the capoeira fighter shoved her off.

The fight ensued between the two ladies and Layla punched the fighter in the face. The fighter bounced back with a tackle to Layla. While the fight continued, more capoeira fighters started fighting each other, turning it into an all-out brawl.

“Awesome! Let me join in,” Raph smiled until Leo held his arm up and stopped him.

Then, the Ninjas, Spies, and Allies saw Gary as he arrived in the neighborhood of Rio. He nodded, letting them know that Ms. Nowhere wants to see them. However, one of the capoeira fighters charged right at Gary, but the big agent effortlessly punched him.

The Ninjas, Spies, and Allies followed Gary, but Sonata told Beto and Lucas, “Sorry about this, but we gotta go. I'll see you guys later. Again, thank you very much. I’ll make sure your hospitality and generosity is rewarded.”

The Ninjas, Allies, and Spies arrived at the safehouse and Ms. Nowhere was furious.

“Gary, I'm not happy. Am I?” Ms. Nowhere asked her agent.

“This seems like a trick question,” Gary answered.

“Why am I not happy, Gary?”

“Uh, because they were out of this Paco's Pork Pies you like so much?”

Mikey commented, “Those are good.”

Frostee sang, “Mm-hm, you get the piggy without breaking the bank. Ah!”

“It’s a little taste of hog heaven,” Echo commented.

Cisco chimed in, “Advertising, bro. Always trying to sell you something you don’t need.”

“You know what, just forget about the pork pies!” Ms. Nowhere frowned. “I’m also not happy because you ruined your mission and my mission. That’s two ruined missions. Three if you count my date with the prince, which Gary does!”

“There was chemistry,” Gary sadly told the teens.

Karai replied in comms, “No there wasn't!”

“Sounds like we saved that prince from a date worst than death,” Angel whispered to her friends and everyone snickered.

“You are all mission ruiners!”

Tony stood up to her, “We didn't ruin our mission, we just saw Layla talking to some mysterious people in an alley, she's clearly using her cover identity for good.”

Ms Nowhere inquired, “How do you know Layla hasn't flipped?”

“We don't,” Echo answered.

“Because I know Layla,” Tony said.

Ms. Nowhere replied, “You know absolutely nothing.”

Gabby agreed, “Look, something's wrong with her.“

April nodded, “I agree, I could sense something different in Layla's mind. In fact, it was also in the goons that were working for her as well. I sensed something in their mind, that shouldn't be there.”

“Why should I believe you?” Ms. Nowhere questioned.

“Because I'm a telepath. By the way, that's not nice you deny Gary a raise by saying the Agency doesn't do raises.”

“You lied about that?!”

“Can't worry about that now, Gary! You brats lost the hauler in quicksand and then you walked into Rio like it was a ball pit or whatever it is that dumb kids walk into,” Ms. Nowhere stated until she saw Donut on Cisco’s shoulders. “And you're apparently friends with a monkey now.” She noticed Donut touching her hand and responded the monkey with a hiss.

Donut panicked and climbed behind Cisco, making him yelp.

Fluttershy angrily said, “Hey! Leave Donut out of this!”

“And I thought the Color Strikes were the worst,” Caitlyn grumbled.

“No wonder the Turtles and Rainbooms don't like her,” Zach whispered to her sister.

“I already didn't like her before I met her,” Angel noted.

“Maybe Tony had the right idea of not calling her for help,” Buffy frowned.

“Oh yeah,” Carter nodded.

“Big time,” Keno agreed.

Ms. Nowhere noticed the binder, “At least one of you saved your binder.” She passed it aside to the Spies and Ninjas. “Like I told you before, this is bigger than all of us. Interpol has been working on it for a year. Now that I’m here, I'm taking over this op. Gary, hook me up.”

“Starting off casual, text the prince, a leap to a romantic song and say, “"Heard of this, thought of you." Yeah?” Gary suggested, pointing his fingers at his boss like a cool guy.

“Not with the prince. To the spy satellite feeds,” Ms. Nowhere corrected him.

After setting up the monitors, Ms. Nowhere plugged the two connectors together to turn on their spy computer, but it didn’t, it just turned on Gary’s phone charger.

“You just plugged in my phone charger,” Gary told her.

“Ugh!” Ms. Nowhere groaned in disappointment.

“So, guys, who was the walking sardine?” Echo asked the Turtles and Rainbooms.

“His name's Fishface,” Leo explained. “He's one of our oldest enemies.”

“He was once a street thug named Xever,” Raph explained. “Shredder brought him into the Foot to handle their more dirtier jobs.”

“He got mutated along with our other enemy, Chris Bradford,” Donnie put in. “After that, Shredder had Baxter Stockman construct robot legs for him from stolen Kraang tech.”

“And that's when I named him Fishface!” Mikey interrupted. “It was either that or Robo Carp.”

“Since then we've all had many clashes with him,” Sunset explained. “And after Shredder's defeat, he formed a new street gang called the Turks.”

“They even held us captive,” Twilight added. “But he fled after we defeated his gang.”

“We also fought him in our home town when he teamed up with his ex-partner in crime,” Applejack said.

“That was when I first fought him,” Blade noted.

“And that fiend tried to rob a jewelry store!” Rarity huffed.

“And also held me hostage,” Caitlyn added.

“Until our friends: the CMC, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Bright Eyes caught him in a rope trap,” Rainbow smirked.

“We even fought Fishface when we went to another dimension and met alternate versions of the Turtles here!” Pinkie popped up. “But that's another story.”

“We actually have a file on this Xever guy, and he's one bad dude!” Garry said and pulled up a file with a picture of Xever when he was human. “He's wanted for robbery, criminal assault, and numerous other felonies both here and in New York.”

“Never mind that!” Nowhere brushed off.

One minute later, the spy satellite feed was on.

“There. Now I'm going to talk to my buddy at Interpol who tipped me off of this whole thing,” Ms. Nowhere groaned in disappointment. “Frostee, Donnie, Twilight, Chaplin, figure out what the formula does.”

“I'm about to brea out my beakers!” Frostee said in excitement and left with Donnie, Chaplin, and Twilight following him.

“Echo, Gabby, check the supply chain,” Ms. Nowhere ordered.

“On it,” Echo nodded.

“Mikey, Sonata, Cisco, get more information from your favela contact.”

Cisco and his team nodded, but Cisco's stomach was full. He groaned, “I'm pretty full, but we'll do our best.”

“I got this,” Sonata said and gave Cisco a kiss on the cheek.

Cisco blushed and was fired up, grabbing the duo, “LET'S GET GOING!”

“And keep that monkey of yours in check!” Ms. Nowhere added.

“The rest of us will be on lookout, ma'am,” Blade Swipe suggested.

“I don't care,” Ms. Nowhere answered.

Sunset then asked her friends, “Guys, have you seen Vinyl? She's not here.”

Rainbow suggested, “She's probably playing music on the street. She'll be fine.”

Blade Swipe and the rest of the Ninjas exited the building except for Tony, Zach, Caitlyn, Carter, Angel, and Buffy.

“What's the most important job do I get?” Tony asked.

Ms. Nowhere answered, “I don't need someone to drive real fast into a stupid situation right now, why don't you stay here and watch Gary watch the cameras.” Gary saved Tony a seat right next to him.

“Can we help?” Angel asked.

Ms. Nowhere told the rest of the teens, “Let me think? Um, no.”

“Why not?!” Angel questioned her.

“Because the mission is too dangerous for a little girl like you.” Ms. Nowhere stated, which made Angel angry. “And that goes for the rest of you kids. Why don't you go explore around the streets of Brazil like you normies do. You're lucky that I'm not your geography teacher 'cause if I did, I would've given all of your school projects an F.”

Angel got angry and said, “Oh ho ho, that's it. You're going down, Jerkwhere.”

Carter, Zach, Caitlyn, Buffy, Tony, and Gary snickered at the name.

“What did you just call me, young lady?!”

“Jerk! Where!”

“That's it! All bets are off!” Ms. Nowhere yelled and took off her coat.

Angel brought out her ninja weapon, “Bring it on, old lady! Bring it on!”

Ms. Nowhere and Angel glared at one another until Gary and Leo separate them.

“Enough!” Gary called. “We got an important job to do, Ms. Nowhere.”

“Fine!” Ms. Nowhere stood down and walked off. Then, she grabbed the binder and told Echo, “Good job getting a tracker on Layla. Of all the people here I don't trust, I don't trust you the least. At least someone's putting this thing to use.”

“ I don't know what you're talking about,” Echo said.

“I get it. Book learning's for squares,” Nowhere then whispered to her, “Your secret's safe with me. Wink.”

After Ms. Nowhere exited the safe house, Carter asked his sister, “I'm gonna head out with Buffy, Zach, and Caitlyn to look around at Rio. Wanna come?”

Angel answered, “You guys go on ahead without me. I'll stay right here and cool off some steam.”

“That's understandable. See ya later, sis.”

After Angel’s friends and brother left, she was now stuck in the safe house with Gary and Tony.

Meanwhile, Vinyl was indeed on the street playing music from her turn tables with the bongo drummers. However, Layla noticed her from afar.

“Have I seen her before?” Layla wondered and walked towards Vinyl.

Then, her phone rang. Layla sighed and walked back to the alleyway.

She answered the call, “What?”

Fishface called, “The boss wants you overseeing at the warehouse. Now.”

“Alright, I'll be right over,” Layla nodded and walked away to go forward with the plan.

Meanwhile, Echo and Gabby drove their motorcycles on the road and Rainbow was not too far behind to catch up to them.

“Need some backup?”

“Sí, Dash!” Gabby answered.

Gabby, Echo, and Rainbow at a flower field, but with no too little flowers on it. Echo and Gabby got off as Rainbow picked up the orange flower that her friends saw before.

“Guys, I think there used to be a whole bunch of those orange flowers, but they used them all up,” Gabby informed Frostee and his pals through her spy watch.

Frostee realized in comms, “Ah, that's why they needed the formula to replace the flowers.”

“So they must be making a bunch of it somewhere,” Rainbow inquired.

Chaplin chimed in through comms, “But what's it for?”

Donnie asked, “Rainbow. Can you see anything useful that might give us a clue on what the formula is?”

Rainbow searched around with her super speed until she was done. She answered, “Nope. Can't find anything, Donnie.”

Echo then contacted Cisco, “Cisco, does Beto know anything about the flower?”

Meanwhile, the team of Mikey, Cisco, and Sonata were in Beto’s house.

Cisco asked Beto, “Hey uh, Beto. what's up with that orange flower that's everywhere?”

“Ahh. The Pimenta do Diablo, the Devil's Pepper. It's the symbol of the Moreno family. Some say it was the source of their power, that they used it to perform quimbanda - Brazilian sorcery.”

Cisco blinked his eyes, “Whoa.”

Mikey stuttered, “That's…that's spooky.”

Meanwhile, the team of Frostee, Chaplin, Donnie, and Twilight were figuring out the effects of the formula in the lab.

“Hmm,” Frostee wondered.

“Still nothing on acidic properties,” Twilight said.

“Negative on fuel supply usage,” Chaplin inquired.

Donnie called, “Ditto on poisons. Got anything Frostee?”

Frostee poured the chemical from the formula and used a small stick to identify the formula’s effect.

“What does this stuff do?”

Back in the safe house, Gary was watching the security cam footage of the mansion from his computer while Tony and Angel were bored, watching him. Tony groaned in frustration until Caitlyn, Zach, and Buffy entered with shopping bags in Buffy’s hand.

“We're back,” Buffy sang-songed.

Angel greeted her, “Hey guys.”

“Why the long face, T?” Caitlyn asked.

Tony sighed, “I should be out there in the field, using my spy craft, getting in touch with Layla.”

Gary said, “Surveillance is important and challenging too. You gotta think of camera placement and or blind spots, and of course pixilation is always a wild card!”

Tony groaned more, feeling frustrated.

“If I may, Gary,” Buffy raised her hand.

“Say no more, Buffy. I'm all ears. What's your take on this?”

“I think that you can use your imagination, Tony.”

“Huh?” Tony wondered.

Buffy explained, “Let me explain. Whenever I read a book, I imagine myself as a character and watch what the characters are saying.”

“Really?” Caitlyn questioned.

“Yeah. I sometimes use my imagination to keep myself sharp and focused on what I'm seeing,” Gary said.

“Well that's nice,” Zach put in.

Everyone turned their attention to the computer and watched surveillance footage of the two guards at the mansion.

“And… ACTION!” Buffy shouted.

Gary said in a high-pitched voice for the female guard, “Luiz, did you get a haircut?”

Then Gary used a deep-pitched voice for the male guard, “Oh Adrianna, you spot everything. You're like a telescope.”

“Speaking of telescopes, would you like to watch the stars with me sometime away from these harsh city lights?” Gary ended his high voice.

“Well? What happens next?” Tony asked.

“Just keep going. You're doing great,” Buffy told Gary and took a seat next to him.

Back on the road, Echo and Rainbow arrived at a warehouse where Layla and her goons were working at. After the guard wasn’t looking, Echo and Gabby barrel rolled near Layla’s car and launched a grappling hook, zipping them up to the rooftop while Rainbow used her super speed to run up to the rooftop. The girls looked through the window and saw some goons working inside with Layla watching.

Echo contacted Frostee, “Frostee, we were right. Now that they have the formula, they're making tons of this stuff.”

“So, what are they doing with it?”

Gabby answered, “They're just loading it onto a truck right now.”

Twilight warned them, “Stay out of sight and don't come in contact with the formula.”

“You got it, Twilight,” Rainbow confirmed.

Back in the safe house, Buffy watched Tony and Gary watch the surveillance while acting with their voices.

Tony said in his deep-pitched voice, “Hurry Commander Iglesias! We must save the Black Hole device!”

Gary replied in his high-pitched voice, “Cool your jets astronaut Sanchez, we'll make it in time!”

“Will we? The Infinity Field is too small!” Zach joined in.

“Don't you quit on me!” Gary exclaimed in his high-pitched voice.

“The spacetime continuum is too strong!” Caitlyn joined in as well.

“Do it for our child!”

“Wait… you're pregnant?” Tony wondered.

Buffy and Angel snickered at that line.

“I gotta admit, that was pretty funny,” Angel admitted.

“Wow. What's happening with this?” Twilight wondered.

“I don't know how we can understand this. But, why is this suddenly reacting?” Chaplin wondered as he went to check the holographic stats for readings.

Donnie groaned, “Ugh, I mean, is the compound suddenly reacting with some invisible substance that's all around?”

Then, they got a reading of the formula.

“It is!” Frostee laughed. “It's oxidizing!”

Twilight then realized, “Oxygen! That's the answer to what was missing in the formula! And with the chemical composition like this, the formula will...!”

Then, everyone heard loud bubbling and whistling coming from the beaker.

“Uh-oh,” Frostee said.

Donnie yelled, “EVERYONE OUT OF THE LAB!”

Later, Zach, Caitlyn, Tony, and Gary were pretending to shoot lasers with their fingers.

“Pew! Pew! Pew!” The four said repeatedly.

“Step away from the baby, alien scum!” Tony vowed.

While Buffy continued to watch, everyone heard screaming from upstairs and the tech team exited the lab. Donnie closed the door and everyone ducked as the explosion rang from the lab.

“What was that?” Angel wondered.

Donnie sprayed the fire with a fire extinguisher for safety as Gabby, Raph, Keno, Casey, Applejack, and Blade Swipe entered the safe house.

“Yo, we heard the explosion,” Casey said.

“Is everyone alright?” Aria asked.

“Yeah, we're good,” Twilight answered.

Chaplin asked, “You guys want the good news or bad news?”

“Does it matter?” Raph hollered.

“Good point,” Gary noted.

Frostee explained, “Good news: we figured out a chemical process the formula doesn't take into account. Bad news: when the formula reacts with oxygen long enough, it explodes.”

“Are ya telling us that they're making a BOMB?!” Applejack questioned the tech team.

Twilight answered, “No, not purposely. We're still not sure what the formula really is.”

Then, Echo, Gabby, and Rainbow appeared onscreen.

Gabby warned them, “Guys, the truck is loaded up.”

The spy satellite feed showed Layla going into the truck.

“That's literally a hundred times of what we made!” Donnie exclaimed.

Chaplin added, “According to the equation, if that explodes in a populated area, innocent people will get hurt!”

“Aw man, it's gonna blow in…” Frostee started counting with his fingers. “Fifteen minutes!”

Tony suggested, “It's the first time they're making it. Layla has no idea. We have to warn her.”

Tony and the rest of his friends were ready to leave, but…

“Wait!” Echo said and everyone stopped. “There's a little problem with that. There are security dogs and motorcycles all over this truck. I can't get in to talk to Layla.”

Gary realized, “That warehouse is across the town. It'd take 30 minutes to get backup there.”

“Driving real fast into a stupid situation? Sounds like it's time for Tony time!” Tony said with determination.

Tony, Gabby, Echo, and the rest of the Ninjas were following the truck with security cars and motorcycles, heading south.

Echo informed everyone, “Tony, Gabby, get to Layla. The rest of us will handle the support cars.”

Everyone nodded as Tony and Gabby accelerated their vehicles to find Layla.

Back in the safe house, the team of Cisco, Frostee, Gary, Donut, Chaplin, Donnie, Mikey, Caitlyn, Zach, Buffy, Twilight, and Spike were on their way to the lab.

Cisco commented, “It's a good thing you guys made one batch of that exploding stuff.”

Donnie nervously told him, “Uh, about that…”

“It's actually not the case,” Twilight continued Donnie’s sentence.

Buffy asked, “What did you guys do?”

They entered the lab and saw three beakers of the chemicals that contained the formula.

Frostee explained, “Those are all going to explode in ten minutes and destroy the entire safe house.”

“HUH?!” Caitlyn, Zach, and Buffy reacted.

“What?! I always knew Twilight’s experiments would be the end of me when you tried to repair your dad's lawnmower,” Spike remembered.

Cisco freaked out too and said, “Same goes for me! I've had nightmares about your science experiments just like this! And in them you tell me--”

Frostee warned him, “Don't you fear fart!”

“Fear fart?!” Twilight wondered.

Cisco weeped, “But then I accidentally fear fart anyway!”

After Cisco released gas, everyone coughed while Spike and Donut fainted from the stink.

“The window!” Donnie coughed.

Gary, Caitlyn, Zach, Buffy, Mikey, and the rest of the tech kids opened the windows to get some fresh air.

Frostee commented in disgust, “Déjà-ewww.”

“That is so not cool, dude!” Caitlyn commented.

“Guys, is there anyway to stabilize the formula?” Gary asked.

“Well, The best way is to do that is to stabilize the compound.”

“Something like... What Donut has!” Donnie pointed his finger at Donut.

Everyone turned their attention to Donut, holding his banana smoothie.

Frosted gasped, “Potassium is the stabilizing agent! Bananas have potassium!”

“Get that monkey!” Mikey shouted.

Spike sighed, “Here we go again.”

Donut ran to keep his drink while everyone tried to grab him.

Meanwhile, Layla continued driving down the road with the truck full of chemicals. Then, Tony drove in and pulled in reverse. His car summoned a paintball cannon from the hood and Tony fired paintballs at the car behind him.

“Heads up. We got more company in the way,” Leo informed everyone through comms as Layla’s security cars turned around and pursued the heroes.

“Tony, you and Gabby stop Layla! We can handle these guys!” Aria told them through comms.

“Go! Hurry!” Blade Swipe yelled.

Tony and Gabby drove their vehicles as fast as they could to catch up to Layla.

“Whatever is wrong with Layla, we need to help her!” Gabby told her cousin.

Tony nodded as the two motorcyclists brought their night sticks out.

“Allow me, primo,” Gabby said and drove the Turtle Racer right past Tony.

Gabby drifted the Turtle Racer and the two goons were sent flying out of their motorcycles.

“Doc, take wheel!” Gabby told the mutant chicken as she clicked.

“Alright, time to lock on to that truck,” Tony said as he pushed the auto drive button.

Tony put on his spy gloves and was ready to hop on to the truck. However, Layla and her goons noticed the Torettos behind them and one of them drove back to ram Tony’s car.

“Hold on, Tony!” Gabby yelled.

Echo drove her motorcycle on the rooftops and landed down on the road to help Tony. She drove right beside the goon’s vehicle and placed her spy device on it.

Less than a minute later, the vehicle was deactivated as Tony got up.

Tony thanked her, “Thanks, Echo.”

Another henchmen drove the vehicle and rammed Tony’s car, making Tony jump on the handle of the ladder of the truck. Echo drove by the henchman’s vehicle and dropped off her drone, making the driver stop the vehicle while the drone tasers the henchman.

“Now that's practical jewelry,” Echo commented.

Tony and Gabby used their spy gloves to slowly walk on the side of the truck.

“Layla! It's us, Tony and Gabby! The truck's gonna blow!” Tony warned her. “Stop the truck!”

Layla however, decided to punch him in the face. She said, “Get off my truck, Torettos!”

Then, Fishface popped out of the window of the truck and hopped onboard the container with his sword out. “Well, well, we meet again, mocosos.”

Gabby deadpanned, “Tú otra vez?”

Fishface swung his sword down at the two, while they screamed and dodged.

Back in the lab, everyone was chasing after the monkey.

“Donut, don't…” Frostee grunted. “Grab him!”

Gary tried to catch the monkey, but he failed.

“Donut, please! We need that!” Buffy pleaded, trying to grab the monkey.

“Donut!” Cisco panted until he crashed into a table.

Donut climbed up top to a rail, close to the ceiling, as everyone surrounded the monkey.

“C'mon, Frostee's gonna…” Donut interrupted Frostee as he swooped down to the table. “Why don't you listen to me?!”

“I got him!” Spike said, chasing after Donut as the beakers were shaking and getting ready to fall.

“Spike! Be careful!” Twilight gasped while catching the beakers.

“Get him! Ah, everyone!” Zach cried.

“Hold on!” Cisco yelled.

Then, Spike tripped on the phone and accidentally called Tony.

“Calling Tony.”

Tony answered his comms and saw Donut up close at the camera.

“It's gonna explode!” Donnie shouted onscreen while Gary struggled with Donut’s face on the camera.

“Why is Donut face-dialing me?” Tony wondered.

Donut continued using the tablet until he shrieked and saw Gary.

“Hey! Come here, little monkey!”

Gary tried, but he failed until he notice the monkey on his back, carrying the banana smoothie.

“Hey! Get back here. Hey! Come here, come here!”

The tablet then was set to self-destruct mode.

“This tablet will now self-destruct.”

“WHAT?!” Everyone except Frostee yelled.

“WHAT?! NO!” Frosted freaked out.

“Hold on!” Cisco shouted.

“We got you!” Mikey yelled.

While Gary continued struggling, Frostee scrambled to stop the detonation and succeeded.

“System disarmed.”

“WHY IS THAT EVEN A SETTING?!” Zach yelled.

“Hey, slow down monkey!” Chaplin called.

Everyone continued to reach Donut behind Gary’s back while Gary stood still until the monkey jumped.

Mikey and Donnie caught Donut except the banana smoothie as it flew up in the air.

Cisco was about to grab it, but Donut beat him to it.

“This monkey's too fast!” Spike commented.

Gary and the teens fell down in a pile as Donut grabbed the banana smoothie and landed on the table where the chemicals were fuming. Spike arrived and played a game of tug of war with Donut for the banana smoothie while they breathe in the formula. Twilight then noticed Spike's pupils going big.

“Donut, give us the smoothie!” Donnie yelled.

Twilight ordered, “Spike, stand on your left fore paw.”

The two animals obeyed their commands as Spike stood on his left fore paw while Donut delivered the smoothie to the tech team. Frostee grabbed it and everyone stood up. After that, Frostee poured the banana smoothie on each beaker of the formula. After the formula became mixed with the potassium from the banana smoothie, the sizzling stopped and everyone exhaled in relief.

“Huh, does this mean we're the monkey whisperers now? Huh…” Frostee thought as Mikey laughed.

Donut was riding on a unicycle while juggling three toy balls while Spike was doing the moon walk.

“Really Mikey?” Twilight questioned him. “You obeyed them to do that?”

“What? I thought it would be funny,” Mikey explained.

Donnie ordered the monkey, “Donut, slap him silly.”

Donut got off from his unicycle, let go of the juggling balls, and slapped Mikey.

“Hey!” Mikey slapped him back.

After that, Mikey and Donut repeatedly slapped each other. Everyone except Twilight laughed as Cisco said, “Yo Spike. Slap Mikey too.”

Spike obeyed his command and slapped Mikey too.

“Really Spike?” Mikey called.

Donut and Spike took turns of slapping Mikey in the face while Gary and the tech team except Twilight laughed with Caitlyn, Gary, Frostee, and Cisco holding up their phones to record the whole thing.

Donnie told her while laughing, “And you laughed at me for getting beat up by a monkey.”

Back on the road, Fishface continued to try and hack at Tony and Gabby with his sword. When he suddenly felt something hit him in the side of the face. He turned and saw that Angel had hopped onto the tanker and had thrown one of her sparring sticks.

“You again?!” He growled.

“Yeah,” Angel smirked, twirling her sticks. “Got a problem with that?”

Fishface charged at Angel and swung his sword at her while the girl dodged and parried with her sticks. Then, Fishface stood on his hands and landed a kick on Angel that nearly sent her off the tanker, but she managed to grab onto the railing and swung herself back up, nailing Fishface with a kick of her own.

“You will regret that, chica!” Fishface snarled before continuing to fight her.

Just then, Leo suddenly lept onto the truck, with his swords drawn. Fishface quickly pulled out a knife and blocked his attack.

“Mind of I cut in?” Leo smirked.

While that was happening, Gabby tried to reason with Layla.

“Layla, we got to bail!” Gabby shouted only for Layla punched her next.

"I said get off!" Layla swerved the truck while the two cousins held on.

On top of the truck, Fishface continued fighting against Leo and Angel.

“So, if you won't tell us what the formula does, maybe you'd like to tell us who you're working for?” Leo asked.

“Now that would spoil the surprise, tortuga.” Fishface smirked while the three were at a standstill, clashing with their weapons.

“A surprise like this?” Angel questioned, before she head-bashed him in the face.

Layla moved the truck closer to the walls, trying to crush Tony and Gabby.

“Oh no!” Gabby said.

“Nononononono!” Tony exclaimed.

Then they climbed up onto the roof of the truck and rolled over to the other side and went inside. Layla tried to back-fist them, but Gabby blocked it.

“Really? That's how it's gonna be?” Tony exclaimed while he and Gabby dodged and blocked Layla’s punches. “Hey!” he continued dodging. “Layla, I don't know what you're doing. This truck is about to explode!”

“Seriously, Layla-argh!” Gabby cried as Layla landed a punch on her, knocking her into Tony. “You are making it really hard for us to want to save you!” She griped, blocking another punch.

While the chaos continued on the truck, Echo drove her motorcycle up a ramp and leapt towards Fishface and her friends. Echo ejected herself from her motorcycle and her two friends backed off while Fishface was knocked off from the truck by her motorcycle.

“Adiós, Calamari Breath,” Echo told Fishface.

Angel told her, “Nice shot, Echo.”

Echo climbed up and ran forward until she kicked Layla from the left door window, taking the steering wheel from her.

“Hey guys, still think this is part of her cover?” Echo asked as Layla tried to attack her only Tony and Gabby restrain her. “I'll steer for an unpopulated area. Get her out of the truck!”

While Echo drove the truck to a detour and the chemicals in the tank being exposed by the oxygen, Frostee alerted everyone through comms, “You guys got 20 seconds left!”

“Listen to me and Tony! This truck is loaded with explosives,” Gabby informed Layla.

“Gabby's right! We can't stay here!” Tony advised.

Layla struggled and groaned, “Get off of me! I have to deliver this! It's my mission!”

Echo used her spy glasses and saw an empty beach up ahead, knowing what to do with the truck. She drove the truck straight towards the beach.

“We gotta ditch!” Angel yelled.

“Not without Layla,” Tony told her.

“Ten seconds!” Twilight cried.

“Layla! Por favor!” Gabby yelled.

The truck arrived on the beach as Echo tackled Tony, Gabby, and Layla out of the truck while Leo and Angel jumped off as the truck drove into the ocean and exploded.

“Is everyone okay?” Leo asked.

“Yeah,” Angel nodded.

“I'm good,” Echo nodded.

“Still in one piece,” Gabby said as Layla started to wake up. “Layla!”

“Layla, wake up! Layla, are you okay?” Tony asked, feeling worried.

Layla came to her senses and wondered, “Where am I? What are you all doing here?”

Tony and Gabby chuckled and exhaled in relief. He said, “Saving your life, as usual.”

Layla felt her head ringing as she looked around and observed the area. “Are we in Rio?”

“Yeah. Are you okay? What's going on?” Gabby inquired.

Layla did her best to remember what happened. She explained, “I remember going undercover, the… The favela, the gangsters…”

Then, the Spies and Ninjas heard the sounds of motorcycles coming to their location.

“Yo, we got company!” Echo called.

“We gotta move. Now!” Leo shouted.

While Tony called his car for a pickup from his spy watch, Layla continued, “They did something to me.”

Tony answered, “Uh, yeah, that was kind of us.”

Gabby told her, “We threw you out of the truck. Before it exploded.”

With the Torettos helping Layla up, she told everyone, “No. It's this formula. It's mind control. I figured it out before she caught me.”

“She?” Leo asked.

With the Spies and Ninjas having a little bit of time to think, Dr. Cluckingsworth with the Turtle Racer and Tony’s car arrived at the beach.

“We gotta go!” Echo ran to Tony’s car.

“Come back with us. We can take down whoever's behind this,” Leo suggested.

Layla rebuffed, “No. I'm going back in.”

“Are you serious?” Tony said in disbelief.

“Is she serious?” Angel shockingly replied.

“They still think I'm mind-controlled. I can finish my mission. Nobody controls me.”

Echo honked the horn from Tony’s car. “Yo, just leave her! Let's go!”

“Get out of here everyone! I'll be in touch,” Layla said.

“Wait!” Tony and Gabby shouted together, making Layla stop.

Tony grabbed something from his pocket and told Layla, “Here. Take this eagle camera so we can track you.”

Layla took the camera and told the Ninjas and Spies, “Thanks for coming for me.”

“We're family,” Tony smiled.

“And you're my best friend, Layla.” Gabby hugged her. “Friends stand by each other. Unlike some people!” Gabby then shot a glare at Echo while she rolled her eyes.

Dr. Cluckingsworth honked the horn of the Turtle Racer and clucked loudly.

“We gotta go! Now!” Leo ordered.

Tony told her, “Good luck, Layla.”

Layla nodded and ran off on her own while everyone else went to their vehicles and drove out of the beach. After that, the motorcyclists stopped Layla and she looked back at her friends.

The Ninjas and Spies drove head on with determination as Tony looked at his rear view mirror, hoping that he and his friends will find a way to rescue her.

Meanwhile, Ms. Nowhere arrived at an undisclosed location and met up with her old buddy from Interpol who was sitting on a chair at his desk.

“I'm sorry about the delay. There was a crazy truck chase that held up the traffic.”

“Agent Medina,” Ms. Nowhere greeted him. “Who's a gal gotta intimidate around here to get a pork pie?”

Agent Medina laughed and turned his chair around to see her. “Good to see you too, Ms. Nowhere,” He greeted her with a sinister grin on his face.

Driving Blind

During the explosion, Layla woke up to catch her breath and started to regain her memories with the Ninjas and Spy Racers in a brief flashback.

“Marchelo,” Tony introduced himself before Layla pulled his arm to see the tattoo.

Moments later, Layla drove the truck with the chemical inside as she was chased down by the Spy Racers and Ninjas.

“Listen to me and Tony! This truck is loaded with explosives,” Gabby informed Layla.

“Gabby's right! We can't stay here!” Tony advised before dodging Layla’s punch.

“The truck's gonna blow!” Tony warned her.

Layla struggled and groaned, “Get off of me! I have to deliver this! It's my mission!”

Echo used her spy glasses and saw an empty beach up ahead, knowing what to do with the truck. She drove the truck straight towards the beach.

“We gotta ditch!” Angel yelled.

Tony, Gabby, Echo, and Layla screamed after jumping out of the truck in slow motion until the truck drove into the ocean and exploded.

Afterwards, Layla saw a bright light as the serum started to wear off.

“Layla!” Gabby yelled.

“Layla!” Tony shouted as well.

Layla felt her head ringing as she looked around and observed the area. “Are we in Rio?”

“Yeah. Are you okay? What's going on?” Gabby inquired.

Layla did her best to remember what happened. She explained, “I remember going undercover, the… The favela, the gangsters…”

Then, the Spies and Ninjas heard the sounds of motorcycles coming to their location.

“Yo, we got company!” Echo called.

“We gotta move. Now!” Leo shouted.

While Tony called his car for a pickup from his spy watch, Layla continued, “They did something to me.”

Tony answered, “Uh, yeah, that was kind of us.”

Gabby told her, “We threw you out of the truck. Before it exploded.”

With the Torettos helping Layla up, she told everyone, “No. It's this formula. It's mind control. I figured it out before she caught me.”

“Mind control?” Tony wondered.

“She?” Leo asked.

“Wait, who caught you?” Gabby questioned her.

With the Spies and Ninjas having a little bit of time to think, Dr. Cluckingsworth with the Turtle Racer and Tony’s car arrived at the beach.

“We gotta go!” Echo ran to Tony’s car.

“Come back with us. We can take down whoever's behind this,” Leo suggested.

Layla rebuffed, “No. I'm going back in.”

“Are you serious?” Tony said in disbelief.

“Is she serious?” Angel shockingly replied.

“They still think I'm mind-controlled. I can finish my mission. Nobody controls me.”

Echo honked the horn from Tony’s car. “Yo, just leave her! Let's go!”

“Get out of here everyone! I'll be in touch,” Layla said.

“Wait!” Tony and Gabby shouted together, making Layla stop.

Tony grabbed something from his pocket and told Layla, “Here. Take this eagle camera so we can track you.”

Layla took the camera and told the Ninjas and Spies, “Thanks for coming for me.”

“We're family,” Tony smiled.

“And you're my best friend, Layla.” Gabby hugged her. “Friends stand by each other. Unlike some people!” Gabby then shot a glare at Echo while she rolled her eyes.

Dr. Cluckingsworth honked the horn of the Turtle Racer and clucked loudly.

“We gotta go! Now!” Leo ordered.

Tony told her, “Good luck, Layla.”

Layla nodded and ran off on her own while everyone else went to their vehicles and drove out of the beach. After that, the motorcyclists arrived as Layla met up with them.

“This way! Vamos lá! Let's go!” Rocha ordered Layla.

Layla entered the car and the driver sped off as the police arrived.

“Oh, this is just great. What happened?” Rocha angrily questioned Layla.

Layla thought back in a brief flashback when she was under mind control and arrested to make it look convincing.

“Good thinking having me arrest you to finish that score,” said Rocha.

Layla replied, “You don’t have to tell me my plan was awesome. I know.”

Back in the present, while Layla continued to recollect her memories, Rocha yelled, “Layla! Who attacked the truck?”

“I don't know! You're the police , why don't you investigate? Hmm. Why are your friends chasing us?”

Rocha answered, “I just arranged security for the truck.”

“Yeah, nice job with that.”

“I can't hide a giant explosion from everyone, including the whole department!”

“Why did we get attacked in the first place?!” Layla yelled.

A police car drove up to them and ram Rocha’s car on the side.

Rocha growled in Portuguese, “Fala sério!” He drove to a U-turn and made the police car ran into the street light. After that, more police cars were chasing after them.

“Ay caramba! We've got to get out of here!”

Layla told him, “Then drive better!”

“Me? I wouldn't be in this mess if that's what you'd done with that truck.”

“That's it! Gimme the wheel!” Layla insisted and used the steering wheel without hesitation.

A surprised Rocha said, “Hey! What are you doing?”

“Just shut up and floor it!”

Layla drove the car herself while Rocha screamed and watched as a police car was heading towards them.

“I said floor it!” Layla used her hand to make Rocha floor the gas pedal. Rocha continued screaming and the police car moved out of the way until it flew up in the air and crashed landed down. Layla drove to the road on the left until she drifted half-circle towards the shadows of the street, hiding behind the dark alleyway.

“Whoa! Yikes!” Rocha exclaimed.

Layla shushed him, “Shhh!” The police cars passed by Rocha’s car and the two exhaled in relief after they were gone.

“Never insult my driving again!” Layla told him while Rocha scoffed.

Back in Dom’s safe house, Cisco, Frostee, Gary, Donut, Chaplin, Donnie, Mikey, Caitlyn, Zach, Buffy, Twilight, and Spike were watching the surveillance feed from Layla’s contact lenses as a hidden camera. After that, the rest of the Ninjas and Spy Racers entered the building.

“Is that camera up and running?” Tony asked.

Donnie answered, “Perfectly clear.”

Caitlyn asked, “What's going on?”

Applejack vented, “Why in the name of sweet molasses is Layla still with those varmints?!”

While Blade Swipe and Raph held her back, Leo answered, “We couldn't stop her.”

Tony agreed, “Leo's right. She's so mad about what they did to her.”

Gabby added, “We couldn't get her out if we tried.”

“Wait, who did what to her?!” Frostee asked.

“That formula controls people's minds. That's why she was trying to take us out before!” Gabby explained.

Echo quipped, “At least that's what she said.”

“What do you mean? You don't believe her?” Tony said.

Raph answered, “Well, some of us don't.”

Applejack nodded, “Ah agree. Ah don't trust her because of Layla bad-mouthed the name of family.”

“I'm still miffed at getting beaten by her back in LA, and getting punched by her at that mountain race,” Rainbow remembered, feeling her cheekbone with her hand.

Casey said, “Donnie and I are still mad at her for calling the Turtle Racer a piece of junk.”

“Very!” Donnie added with a frown.

“I'd researched Layla's background,” Chaplin told everyone. “And her track record is... not the best.”

Caitlyn admitted, “Layla tried to kill us and is working for Fishface, who might I add once held me hostage.”

Raph concluded, “And I have trust issues with her.”

Echo explained, “And yesterday, all those gangsters were calling her "boss". Today, she said she was mind-controlled, but she went right back in the car with the gangsters!”

“But she's wearing my pin,” Tony told her.

Cisco said, “Mind control, bro?! I believe in weather machines, mutants, and aliens as much as anyone, but this sounds like a crazy conspiracy.”

Gabby frowned, “You guys are all bad friends. Except you Frostee.”

Cisco groaned, “Ah man!”

Frosted smiled, “Why thank you, Gabby.”

Sonata told her boyfriend, “Actually, it's not a conspiracy theory, Cisco.”

“What do you mean by that?” Cisco asked.

“When we were a part of the Shredder’s Foot Clan, Shredder told us he used a mind control formula on Karai when we were trained by him.”

Raph raised his hand, “I can vouch for that.”

“Really? I did not know that, Sonata.” Cisco said.

Rarity raised her hand, “I was… also mind-controlled before. Just one month ago, I was mind-controlled by dark Equestrian magic thanks to Sombra, who also mind-controlled my prince-- I mean my friend, Amethyst Majesty.”

Cisco responded, “Wow, you guys deal with all sorts of crazy stuff back in your home.”

Echo asked, “Wait. Did you just say that your friend is your "prince"?”

Rarity blushed and motioned her arms from left to right, shaking her head, “No, no, no, darling. Y-Y-You must've had your ears rung after from the explosion back at the beach.”

“Right…” Echo smirked.

“Sure you didn't...” Buffy teased.

Pinkie said, “Guys. Our friends are telling the truth.”

Suddenly Twilight, Donnie, and Frostee started piecing the puzzles together about what happened in the makeshift lab.

“Of course. Spike did all those tricks because he breath the fumes from the formula,” Twilight said.

Frostee added, “And Donut listened to us when he ran through the formula, and at my house, the formula exploded.”

Suddenly, Mikey and Sonata remembered what happened at the explosion in Frostee’s room.

Sonata gasped, “We were in your room and ended cleaning up Frostee's room and the restaurant, and…”

“Combing a bunch of doll hair,” Mikey continued until he gasped, “We mind-controlled ourselves!”

Raph asked, “But why didn't it explode here?”

Donnie answered, “Just as it was about to explode, we used Donut's banana smoothie to stabilize the formula.”

Carter asked, “Why did that work?”

Mikey explained, “Because potassium is a stabilizing compound. If the formula is given a stabilizing compound before it explode, it will be perfectly usable.”

Everyone stared at Mikey for getting something involved with science correctly.

“...Guess that phrase about a broken cuckoo clock is true,” Frostee commented.

“Do you guys even know what this means?” Gary asked as his kind started to visualize.

“Someone with this kind of power could bring forth an apocalyptic catastrophe like never before. A single puppet master capable of…”

Angel shouted, “Stop! We get it, it's bad. We don't have time for a whole thing.”

Raph quipped, “Yeah, we all get it already, Gary. Our human friends, my turtle bros and I saw it firsthand before.”

Tony informed everyone, “Guys, we gotta figure out what Layla is up against and who the ringleader is.”

Chaplin said, “I think "puppet master" is the more accurate term.”

“Fine. Puppet master. Now can you get us some aerial footage of the compound?” Tony asked.

“Pulling up the satellite feed now,” Gary replied and used the computer to pull up aerial footage.

Leo told Frostee, “Frostee, we need to know everything we can about how this formula works.”

“If it works,” Caitlyn said.

Sunset asked the rest of the science team, “How long does it last? What happens when you are influenced? Everything.”

“Ooh! Science experiment time! I love it!” Twilight cheered.

Gabby told everyone, “Layla's going into the lion's den and she needs our support.”

Meanwhile, Rocha drove his car back to his boss’s base of operations with Layla.

“Layla!” She heard Gabby’s voice as more memories from her mind-controlled phase started to resurface in her mind. Then she heard Tony’s voice, “Wake up!””

In a brief flashback, Layla remembered meeting up with Agent Medina with her "boss". Layla’s boss reached for her phone and sprayed Agent Medina with the mind control formula. Then Layla remembered the warehouse where more chemical substances of the mind control formula was held.

“So you weren't at the warehouse and you weren't running security along the side of the truck. Where were you?” Layla questioned Rocha.

“My job was just to clear the streets. I did what I was supposed to do! You better not try telling her this was my fault!” Layla looked worried as she looked up at the mural of Rafaela on the side. Rocha noticed her, “What's wrong with you?”

“Nothin'.”

Rocha informed her, “Well get it together. 'Cause you're explaining to the boss why her formula is gone.”

Meanwhile, the Tech Support had finished a new batch of the formula.

Twilight said, “Okay, in order to test how this mind control formula works, we need a test subject.”

Fluttershy spoke up, “Well, I'm against animal testing! Use me.”

“No, use me as a lab rat!” Cisco raised his hand while Donut chattered about his head ringing.

Frostee said, “No. We need someone or some people who doesn't actually follow commands.”

“What?! I don't foll…” Cisco was abruptly interrupted by Chaplin.

“Grab me a sample of that formula please?”

Cisco answered, “Right away!” He was going to grab a sample of the formula until he stopped and realized, “Oh… Okay. Yeah.”

“You see what we're saying?” Donnie asked Cisco.

“Point taken,” Cisco understood.

“We need a subject,” Frostee called everyone until Raph and Rainbow Dash looked at Blade Swipe.

Blade Swipe commented, “Okay, first of all: I was already a lab rat for the Kraang, so… no. Absolutely not! And second: Me and Gary are soldiers, so it wouldn't help if we got sprayed.”

Gary agreed, “He's right. I love following orders. To test your formula, we need some people who are absolutely stubborn, borderline irresponsible, a born rebel, a maverick renegade with the soul of an outlaw and the hard head of a Brahma bull.”

Everyone looked at Tony, Raph, Casey, Aria, and Rainbow Dash.

Aria commented, “What?”

“Why is everyone looking at us?” Raph asked.

Rainbow clarified, “Uh… Look, we get it. We're all those awesome things Gary just said…”

Tony continued, “But our mind is too strong to be controlled.”

The five crossed their arms and smiled.

Frostee ordered his pal, “Spray them, Cisco.”

Cisco took the opportunity and sprayed Tony, Raph, Casey, Aria, and Rainbow.

Casey commented, “See? Nothing.”

Raph agreed, “He's right. Nothing's changed.”

“Do a handstand. All of you,” Donnie ordered.

“Yeah, you got it,” Tony said.

Raph, Aria, Tony, Casey, and Rainbow performed a handstand.

“I don't know. Tony likes doing handstands,” said an unsure Echo.

Keno ordered, “Hmm… Clap your hands.”

Rainbow, Raph, Aria, Casey, and Tony all clapped their hands while doing a handstand.

“Well what do you know, they're happy and they know it! Let me join!” Pinkie insisted and joined the four to do a handstand while clapping her hands. “WHEEEE! This is fun!”

“Wait. Let me try something,” Gary announced and grabbed his mission log. “Tony, fill out my mission report.”

Tony stopped and stood back up. He answered, “No problem.”

“Aw schnap, mind control is real!” Echo reacted.

“You just realized that just now?” Spike questioned Echo.

Gary then said, “You know what, never mind. I actually like filling these out. It's my "me time", you know?”

“Quiet! I think we're about to meet the boss,” Gabby alerted everyone as they watched the surveillance footage from Layla’s hidden camera.

Everyone moved in and watched the monitors to get a good look from Layla’s hidden camera/point of view.

They entered the mansion and saw Fishface waiting for them.

“Let me guess, you failed too,” Rocha said.

Fishface replied, “I don't wanna talk about it.”

Layla followed them while figuring out who she's working for. They went upstairs and stopped right in front of a bookshelf. Rocha slanted the book to the right and it opened up a secret passageway. They walked through the secret passage and entered the boss’s office. Layla remembered who her boss was after looking at the furniture and the family portraits. She said, “Rafaela.”

Rafaela turned her chair around and revealed herself.

She interrogated them, “Literally, where is my formula?!”

Everyone was stunned beyond belief back in the safe house.

Echo gasped, “It's Rafaela!”

“No, way!” Caitlyn said in disbelief.

“I did not see that coming!” Carter exclaimed.

“The girl who has my name?” Raph called.

“Only better,” Mikey laughed until Raph smack his head.

“Wait? You mean the girl from the painting?” Sunset said.

Angel recalled, “Oh yeah. We saw that in the street before. I thought she was dead. What is going on?”

“Oh, this is big. I've got to let Ms. Nowhere know,” Gary panicked and tried to call his boss on his phone.

Cisco thought, “Why would Saint Rafeala fake her own death? Everyone loves her.”

Frostee wondered, “And what does she need mind control for?”

Sonata reacted, “This is crazy. Mind. Blown.”

Buffy told everyone, “Hang on, be quiet. Layla has to keep her cover. How much does she remember?”

Rafeala stared at a picture of her and her father when she was little.

“You know, this use to be my daddy's office, obvi.” Rafaela laughed. “I mean, okay, enough oak already! Anyway, Daddy was so basic. Every day was "Cean your room!" or "Stop torturing your classmates!" Supes annoying, right? But he was also supes good at getting rid of people who disappointed him. I was going to mind-control everyone and finally get out of this dump, but you uggos ruined everything! I should send you three back out to play in traffic, but I need you dummies.”

Frostee said, “This woman is a saint? She sounds like a little, spoiled brat.”

“I'm thinking that part of the story might have been embellished,” April figured.

“She's like a mix of Mikey's immaturity with Raph's anger,” Donnie commented.

“Yeah, A deadly combination right there,” Chaplin agreed.

“We have to do something!” Echo exclaimed. “We know where Layla is, what the chemical is used for, and who the crime boss is.”

Gabby agreed with her friend’s statement, “She's right. It's time to take down Rafaela’s operation.”

Gary ended the phone call after no response from his boss and told everyone, “We can't. We need to wait for Ms. Nowhere, and we have no idea what she's learned from Interpol.”

“Then call her again,” April suggested.

“She may already know Rafaela is alive. This could all be a part of a larger op.” He called Ms. Nowhere again from his phone.

“This is Ms. Nowhere's voicemail. But who leaves voicemails anymore? Text me, weirdo! Ugh, I bet it's Gary.”

Gary said, “Voicemail. Looks like we're gonna have to sit and wait.”

The teens groaned in frustration after that.

“Really?! That's it?! She didn't answer the phone once, so you give up?! Text her, weirdo!” Echo retorted.

Gary commented, “You really are a little Nowh…”

Donnie told everyone, “Guys, you really think they would've gone to play in traffic?”

“Yeah. And what's their definition of "play"?” Cisco asked.

Chaplin ordered, “We should see how far this formula will make someone go. Tony, smash your hand with the wrench.”

Tony grabbed the wrench and placed his left hand on the table. “Yep! Here goes smashing!”

Everyone gasped in fright and Gabby shouted, “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Basta, basta!”

Rarity exhaled in relief, “Oh thank goodness!”

Frosted sighed, “Wow!”

“No smashing. You got it,” Tony confirmed and tossed the wrench away.

“Por favor, don't ever do that again,” Gabby scolded Chaplin.

Frostee stated, “This mind control stuff is dangerous! I mean, like, extra dangerous.”

Adagio scoffed, “Heh. Tell that to Karai and Rarity. They know what it's like to be mind-controlled.”

“Guys, Brat Rafeala is back on,” Sunset called everyone.

Rafaela continued talking from the feed, “And what to do about it...” Back in Rafaela’s office, the crime boss continued, “My synthetic formula is completely gone, right? Blown up five-ever?”

“Uhhh…. Five-ever?” Fishface wondered.

Rocha explained, “Yeah. The truck got blown up while Fishface was protecting the truck and Layla was driving, though.”

“Grrrr. Why you little…” Fishface whipped out his balisword and was going to attack him, but Layla held him back.

“Oh don't be such a snitch, Rocha!” Rafaela told him. “You were supposed to run cover.”

“Is the government on to us? We need to figure out what‘a going on,” Rocha said.

“I know exactly what's going and how to solve our little problem..

Then, Rafaela was interrupted by the alarm going off. She turned around to see the monitors and gasped.

“Seems like we have an intruder,” Fishface guessed as the doors started clanking.

“Who's coming?” Layla asked.

Rafaela hid herself and a henchman entered the office, holding a long skirt. The henchman said, “Sorry to interrupt, boss. Rocha said you wanted a skirt, so this is what I bought for you.” He showed Layla the skirt. “Is this okay?”

Layla was unsure about the skirt and answered, “Um… That seems… Yeah, that seems, fine.”

Everyone struggled to keep Rarity quiet over a fashion disaster back at the safe house until Rafaela stomped out from her hiding spot. “What?! Even!” She shouted, “This is what you got for me?!”

The henchman fell down to his knees and said, “S-S-Saint Rafaela?! You're alive! You have returned!”

“An A-line skirt?!” Rafaela angrily yelled.

Fishface sighed and spoke in Spanish, “Rafeala is such a slave to fashion.”

The henchman whimpered as Rafaela took the skirt and used it to whip him, “Do you have any idea how this cuts me off in a weird angle?!”

“She's horrid, but that skirt could work with an off-the-shoulder barely top...”

Applejack told her, “Not the time, Rarity.”

As the lackey begged for mercy, Rafeala used her phone to spray her personal supply of the mind control serum on him. Layla made sure the others saw this.

Fishface whispered in Spanish, “Why couldn't Shredder use this method instead of those disgusting worms?”

Rafaela commanded, “You stand at the crossroads. Follow me and obey only my commands.”

Back in the safe house, the heroes figured out how Layla got her mind controlled.

“No way. Tech support, check it out!” Echo called.

“A portable chemical dispenser inside a electronic device... Fiendishly clever,” Chaplin commented, impressed by her tactic.

“Now get out and learn something about fashion... And DON'T tell anyone I'm alive!” Rafaela ordered her henchman.

“Stupid salesman! Never trust a man in Capri pants.” The henchman cried.

Gary told Rarity, “This guy knows more about fashion than Rafaela is giving him credit for.”

Everyone continued watching as Rafaela complained, “I have to dress like a homeless lady every time I leave the mansion and it's a million degrees outside and all of this turns into a total swamp!” Rocha groaned and Rafaela remembered, “Oh yeah, you don't sweat. Rocha, how many people do we have under the control of the original pimenta?”

“About thirty,” Rocha answered.

“And you, Xevy, our supply of the old formula?” Rafaela asked.

Fishface replied, “Almost gone, ma'am.”

“The favela race is only two days away. I need a new truckload of synthetic pimento by then.” Rocha frowned, ignoring what Rafaela just said. She snapped her fingers, “Hello? Anyone home?” Rocha listened and Rafaela demanded, “GO. MAKE. MORE!”

Back in the safe house, Donnie spoke, “On second thought, her temper's may be even worse than Raph's!”

Back in the safe house, Echo asked Gary, “Why does she need it for the race?” Gary shrugged and Echo replied, “Great. Thanks for your thoughtful reflection.”

“Speaking as a former villain, if I had this kind of formula and wanted to use it on a lot of people, I'd use it during a public event,” Blade Swipe said.

Adagio agreed, “He's right. It's the quickest way to get many people at once.”

While Rocha left, Fishface and Layla were the only two individuals left with Rafaela.

Layla spoke up, “I-I can help him with the formula.”

“I have something else in mind for you. Follow me,” Rafaela informed her. “Xever, you're with me.”

“Right,” Fishface answered and followed her with Layla too.

Then, Adagio saw Aria doing Sonata's nails. She deadpanned, “Seriously, Sonata?”

“What? I think we should enjoy Aria being under mind control.”

“I agree. Rainbow, go change into this,” Rarity held up a beautiful dress and showed it to her.

“You got it,” Rainbow answered and went to the bathroom.

Mikey ordered, “Raph, eat that piece of gum on the floor.”

“On it,” Raph nodded and was going to grab a piece of gum on the floor.

“NO! DON'T!” Casey yelled, tackling Raph.

“GAH!” Raph yelped.

While Frostee was watching the monitor, he gasped and remembered something, “Yo, where's Tony?”

Cisco answered, “Oh, I told him he was a ninja on an important mission.”

Tony then suddenly yelled as he jumped down on the ground and performed ninja-like moves, jumpscaring Frostee.

“Tony, stop!” Frosted yelled.

“Hey now!” Tony grunted until he stopped. “Huh? Sorry, I sometimes forget how my powers of invisibility can scare people.”

“You guys are seriously having fun with this?!” Caitlyn commented while Blade Swipe and a few others snickered at the whole situation.

Twilight informed everyone, “We've been doing this mind control thing wrong. Having Spike do circus tricks or Aria giving manicures is nice, but we're not focusing on the problem.”

Frostee agreed with her, “She's right. And see how I made Tony stop what you told him to do? Even everyone is doing what everyone is saying.”

“No one tells me what to do!” Tony exclaimed.

“Now watch this,” Frostee informed Cisco. He then ordered Tony, “Tony, only listen to me. Don't do what Cisco tells you. And tell him he smells like farts.”

While Frostee snickered, Tony told his pal, “Cisco, you smell like farts!”

“Bam!” Frostee shouted.

“Yo man, that's messed up.” Cisco replied while Donut chittered.

Tony apologized, “I'm sorry, man.”

Rainbow Dash came back in wearing Rarity's dress and Blade Swipe practically fell to the ground, laughing.

“Wow. That dress looks so good on you, RD,” Buffy complimented while taking pictures from her phone.

“Oh, this is so going on my Fashion Blog!” Rarity snickered while taking pictures from her phone as well.

“And my blog,” Caitlyn added, also taking pictures with her phone.

“Tony, tell me I'm your best friend.” Cisco pleaded and Tony said nothing, which Cisco took it personally. “Dang, man. That hurts!”

Donnie spoke up, “Still, we're trying to figure out the necessary chemicals for a means of immunity.”

Suddenly, the guilt hit Cisco for getting his monkey friend mind controlled. “Oh, right. Donut, bro! Aw man, I feel so bad for mind-controlling you.” He tearfully hugged Donut. Cisco then said, “We… we gotta let him go, man.” He told Donut, “You deserve to be free.” Cisco opened the window and placed Donut down. He started sobbing, “Go! Be free! I can't make you stay anymore!”

“Uh… you want me to mind-control him and then you can tell him to be free?” Frostee asked.

Cisco put his hands on his head and had his mind blown, never realizing that part before. “Whoa bro, you just blew my mind.” He imitated an explosion, which angered Leo, Echo, Sunset, Adagio, and Gabby.

“Shhh!” Leo shushed the three boys.

“Will you three stop?” Gabby asked.

“Keep your head explosions down! We're trying to hear!” Echo shouted.

“She's right. Just keep the noise down please?” Sunset requested while Donut jumped onto Fluttershy's arms.

Meanwhile, Rafeala was leading Layla to a garage back in her base with Fishface in company.

“I got a little surprise for you,” The crime boss told Layla.

“Oh, you want me to open it?” Layla asked and Rafaela nodded.

Layla looked at the keypad for the garage door as the Spy Racers, Ninjas, and friends watched from the monitors.

“Oh no, does she remember the code?” Zach asked.

Caitlyn answered, “I don't know, bro.”

Angel said, “I hope she gets it, right.”

“Like, any day now.” Rafaela called, testing her patience.

Fortunately, Layla pieced together her memories and typed "UWISH" in. Inside the garage were two cars with extremely tacky paint jobs and a mysterious driver.

“Who's that?” Adagio asked.

“I have no idea,” Leo answered.

Rafaela announced, “You two are going to have a little competish. Winner gets to live.” Layla did not like the sound of that. She continued, “I trusted you to deliver the formula to HQ, but you choked so hard it's like not even funny. I need to know if you can still drive under pressure.”

Layla retorted, “You wanna see how good I drive? Well grab some popcorn because you're about to get a show.”

“You better. I actually paid one of your old SH1FT3R friends for some information on you and he told me you lost to some nobody in a junker car.”

Layla seethed in frustration at being reminded of that.

Back in the safe house, Donnie and Casey reacted angrily.

“Junker car?!” Casey snapped.

“Why that pompous...!” Donnie began.

Gabby told them, “Easy, you two.”

While Cisco, Donut, Keno, Pinkie, Sonata, and Mikey were eating bags of popcorn, Tony came by while rubbing his head. “Man, what's going on? Did someone sucker punch me and knock me out again? That's super bad for your brain, you know.”

“No, you were mind-controlled. Do you not remember anything? The handstand? Acting like a ninja?” Frostee questioned him.

“I did that?” Tony wondered.

Chaplin observed, “Hmm. Interesting...”

“Is that Layla?”

Gabby answered, “Oh primo, you missed a lot of stuff.”

“Do you want the short version or the long version?” Pinkie offered.

Tony answered, “Does it matter? Just please tell me what happened.”

Echo said, “I'll catch you up to speed. Remember Saint Rafaela? She's alive and she's the really annoying puppet master who made all of that mind control formula. Now she's making Layla race against this mystery driver to prove her loyalty. Any questions?”

“Yeah, I got one. What happens if Layla loses?” Sunset asked.

“Aside from that… WHY AM I IN THIS DRESS?!” Rainbow angrily yelled.

The drivers drove up to the starting line with Rafaela in front while Fishface watched. Layla drove the yellow race car while the mystery drive drove the orange race car.

Rafaela informed the competitors, “The course of this race is all set up by Xevy. Drive down, take a lap through all five favelas and get back here. The only rule is… don't lose.”

Fishface informed Layla, “Hope you can back up your claim about being the best, chica.”

She replied, “Watch me. I know what I'm doing.”

Layla stared focus on the task at hand, waiting for the signal. “GO!” Rafaela yelled. The two competitors hit the gas pedal and drove past by Rafaela before racing off in the streets. Rafaela said, “Ride or die! My catchphrases are so perf, how do I not have my own TV show.”

“So, what am I suppose to do now, ma'am?” Fishface asked.

Rafaela ordered, “I'm glad you asked, Xevy. I have a special assignment for you.”

“Right.” Fishface then thought to himself, “At least you're better than Bradford.”

She whispered to him about his assignment and Fishface nodded. He understood, “I see. Okay then. I accept.”

“Excellent. And thanks for teaching me how to activate your traps with this remote control device,” Rafaela showed him the device to activate his traps.

“De nada, Rafaela,” Fishface bowed and exited her mansion.

Both racers drove downwards on the road as Layla bumped the orange car from behind.

“Ticket this!” Layla shouted and took the lead from the mystery driver.

“Satellite feeds are live. There's a downhill turn coming up,” Gary said as everyone watched the race from the monitors.

“Those are super dangerous for those cars. With the wrong angle, and you could create lift. Then it's…” Tony then imitated a car crash.

Raph exclaimed, “I'd say we got to warn her!”

Leo told him, “No. We can't intervene. If Rafeala finds out we're here, it'll mean trouble for us.”

Mikey panicked, “Including Ms. Nowhere, she'll scold us.”

Gabby assured the Turtles, “Oh relax, tortugas. Layla's got this.”

As the race continued, Tony cheered, “Keep that racing line, Layla! Yes!”

The mystery driver drove her car and bumped Layla’s car from behind as payback. “Are you crazy?!” Layla shouted and hit the breaks to get right next to her opponent and both cars sparked as they scraped against each other. She asked, “Are you trying to get us both killed?!” The other driver said nothing and kept driving until it bumped Layla’s car on the side, making it tip over a little.

The teens, Gary, and Donut screamed, making them worried that Layla was going to crash. Luckily, Layla’s car stopped tipping over and kept on driving with the mystery driver in the lead while the teens and Donut sighed in relief back in the safe house.

“Oh thank goodness,” Gary sighed.

While the race continued from the monitors, Rainbow was dressed back into her normal clothes and joined the rest of her friends to watch.

“What did I miss?” Rainbow asked.

“Nothing much,” Chaplin answered. “Layla's race just started. She's up against a mystery driver.”

“Okay,” Rainbow nodded.

Then Cisco groaned, “Layla's driving better, but that mystery driver's a savage, bro.”

Leo explained, “That's because the mystery driver's mind-controlled. He or she has no inhibitions.”

“I've never seen anyone drive wilder than Layla Gray!” Frostee anxiously admitted.

“Yeah, she's the "Wild Card" for a reason,” Rainbow panicked. “No one is supposed to be wilder than a wild card!”

“Ah, that's too wild!” Mikey shrieked with his hands on his head, losing his mind.

“Freaky deaky!” Pinkie said, defying gravity.

The mystery racer then drove through a hidden passageway underneath the road which was activated by Rafaela and Layla followed. Meanwhile, Rafaela surveyed the race from her mansion with the surveillance cameras inside the hidden passageway and activated the first trap from her remote control device as ten electrical trash cans popped up on the road.

“Whoa!” Layla reacted as she dodged the electrical trash cans, as well as the mystery driver.

While they were dodging them, the heroes watched from the satellite feed and Frostee wondered, “Are those... electrical trash cans?”

Mikey answered, “Yeah. I remember that one from Fishface's traps before.”

“At least Layla got past fish boy's trap,” Angel said.

Casey agreed, “Don't count your chickens yet, Fishface's got plenty more of those traps where that came from.”

Rafaela activated the second trap and the water was filled in the holes of the road. After that, a school of piranhas jumped up from each hole. Layla and the mystery driver dodged the incoming piranhas as one of them landed on the window in front of Layla.

“A piranha?” Layla called. “Ew. Get off of my car!” Layla used the windshield and the piranha flew out.

“Dang. Who puts piranhas as an obstacle/in a race?” Echo asked in the safe house.

“Xever, obviously,” Mikey called. “Trust me, I've been bitten by one before.”

“Ouchies,” Pinkie winced.

After going through the piranhas, Rafaela activated the third trap and a group of six large boulders appeared behind the racers.

“Boulders, huh.” Layla said and the two drivers dodged the incoming boulders.

Rafaela then activated the fourth trap and it fired arrows at the drivers. “Woah!” Layla shouted as she dodged the arrows, as well as the mystery driver. Layla exhaled, “Almost got a flat tire there.”

The Spy Racers and Ninjas watched as the two racers competed.

“Oh man, this is so epic!” Cisco called.

“Totally,” Sonata added while eating some tacos.

Rafaela activated the next trap and flamethrowers were shot out of pipes. The two racers dodged the incoming flames from left to right and after they turned to the right, Rafaela activated the last trap, the crushing walls.

“Okay, boulders, arrows, flamethrowers, and now wall crushers?!” Caitlyn exclaimed in disbelief. Is this a race or death trap?!”

“Both,” Mikey and Casey answered.

“Dang, that Fishface creep is all kinds of messed up,” Angel noted.

“No kidding,” Echo agreed.

“And I thought he was crazy when I first fought him,” Blade noted.

“Oh man. I can't watch,” Cisco weeped, closing his eyes.

Frostee stated, “This is going to be close.”

“I hope Layla makes it out of that tunnel,” Tony commented.

“Come on, Layla,” Gabby urged.

The two racers boosted their cars to max speed and dodged the crushing walls until they made it out of the secret tunnel and raced back into the streets.

The Ninjas and Spy Racers cheered that Layla made it out alive.

“Woohoo! She did it!” Tony cheered.

“Ha! In your face, Fishface?!” Gabby hollered.

Meanwhile, in the mansion, Rafaela was impressed, but unsatisfied that none of them didn't get damaged by Xever’s traps.

She sighed, “Oh well. At least I'll wait for them outside,” Rafaela got up from her coach and exited the mansion.

Back on the road, Layla and the mystery driver were speeding through the streets until the mystery driver smashed into Layla on the side. “Oh, so that's how it's gonna be, huh?” Layla questioned. She turned to the corner and saw some scaffoldings, giving her an idea. “This ought to slow you down.” Layla drove over to the scaffoldings and knocked it over, blocking the road for the mystery driver to cross. However, the mystery driver did not hesitate to find a new angle and smashed through a wall with its car.

Half a minute later, the orange car busted through and was hanging air time in a downward slope while Layla raced down the road. As Layla thought she was in the lead, the mystery driver’s car bursted through a building and landed on the road behind Layla, taking the lead. Layla exclaimed, “What the…”

“This is insane!” Zach exclaimed.

Tony agreed, “And too dangerous. We gotta do something to help her.”

Gary told them, “We can't. Ms. Nowhere isn't answering. I still need her authorization.”

“This is where I would usually go rogue, you know. Stupid mind control!” Tony exclaimed.

Donnie informed him, “You're not mind-controlled anymore.”

“Huh… Then I guess I'm just growing as a person.”

“Layla needs to give up, and get out. Her cover's not worth this!” Echo suggested.

Frostee chimed in, bumping into Echo. “You know Layla never gives up! It's almost over. There's a downhill turn and then a sprint up to the finish line.”

Back on the streets of Rio, the racers continued driving with the mystery driver in the lead as they took a turn to the right.

“Don't you do it again! Don't you dare drive off this hill!” Layla begged her opponent. The mystery driver drove straight through another building without any hesitation. “This driver's gonna get itself killed.” Layla said and saw the hole, thinking that she can use a shortcut just like her opponent. However, she changed her mind, “I don't need no shortcut.” Layla drifted and continued driving down the road as the other car bursted through building to building until it gained the lead again.

“Whoa!” Layla screamed.

As the race continued, the heroes and Gary watched from the monitors in anticipation.

Gabby whimpered, “Come on… Don't let it redline too much.”

Tony added, “But don't shift too early!”

Layla found an opening and drove alongside the mystery driver as they entered towards Rafaela’s mansion. With only seconds towards the finish line left, Layla accelerated forward a bit and finished first.

After that, she cheered and celebrated. Back in the safe house, the heroes cheered.

“Yes! She did it!” Rainbow cheered.

“I told you Layla would never give up!” Frostee stated.

After both competitors stopped their cars, Rafaela and Fishface walked towards Layla.

“Yes! I win!” She smiled in victory as Rafaela clapped to applaud her.

Rafaela said before opening the door, “Congrats, L-Money!”

“You really thought someone was come in here and beat me?” Layla questioned her after exiting out of the car.

“No, I'm happy you won. I thought you were the best and I'm always right about everything ever. Your driving at the end was cray. It looked like you were going to drive off the hill, too. But you used your sick skills instead of risking your life. That's when I knew for sure you were faking being mind-controlled.”

Layla gasped and two of her henchmen captured his former partner.

“Hashtag: Busted!” Rafaela stated. “Also, your mystery driver…”

The mystery driver took off the helmet and Layla couldn't believe her eyes. Her opponent was none other than… Ms. Nowhere?

“…is your old boss. Hashtag: Shocker!” Rafaela smirked.

The heroes were shocked to learn that Ms. Nowhere was the mystery racer Layla had to compete with.

“Ms. Nowhere?!” Echo exclaimed.

Angel commented, “Great, the jerkiest woman in the world is under the control of a spoiled brat.”

Casey groaned, “Oh man.”

Twilight spoke up, “Wait, if Nowhere's under her control, then that would mean...”

Back at the mansion, Rafaela informed her, “Also, Xevy told me that he saw you speaking to those teenage friends of yours and also noticed that little camera on your eyes.”

“Where is that little fish of yours? I'm going to have some words with him.”

“Oh you mean, Xevy? He's on his way to meet your friends,” Rafaela laughed maniacally as Fishface led her henchmen to the safe house.

“There it is. Storm the building,” Fishface commanded and Rafaela’s forces approached the building.

April said, “Oh no.”

The ninjas armed themselves.

Leo told everyone, “Remember, these people are under mind control, try not to hurt them.”

Rarity understood, “Of course darling, but...” The fashionista then shot magical diamonds near at the Ninjas and friends. “...we don’t feel the same way.”

The Ninjas and Racers gasped as Rarity, Applejack, Keno, and Carter opened the doors and Rafaela’s forces entered the building. The ninjas realized what this meant as Keno, Carter, Applejack, and Rarity walked over to the armed men.

Spike was baffled by the sudden turn of events and said, “What the what?”

Casey realized, “Oh, sewer apples. Rafaela got you guys as well.”

“They must've been mind-controlled when we got separated dealing with the truck earlier.”

The mind-controlled Keno apologized, “Sorry partners, but we got our orders.”

“Don't make this harder than those cupcakes you baked when we were little, sister.” The mind-controlled Carter said.

“That better be the mind-control talking, or we're gonna have problems,” Angel growled.

Fluttershy spoke up, “Wait! We can't fight our friends.”

“She's right. What are we gonna do?” Frostee asked.

“Well, there's only one thing we can do.” Buffy answered as the Ninjas and Racers waited in anticipation. She then put her hands up. “We surrender!”

“Seriously?!” Aria yelled.

Just then, Tony clucked like a chicken.

Cisco remembered, “Oh yeah, I mind-controlled you to act like a chicken.”

Aria scoffed, “Nice way to lighten the mood, dude.”

The mind-controlled Applejack, “Come on y'all, Rafaela wishes to meet you.”

“Do we have to?” Zach and Caitlyn asked.

Leo told him, “We don't have much of a choice, guys. Just do as they say and keep quiet.”

Fishface laughed, “My, oh my, how the tables have turned. Now move. My boss wants to meet you all personally.”

The heroes agreed and exited the safe house, following Rafaela’s forces along with four of their mind-controlled friends to meet Rafaela.

Meanwhile, one of Frostee’s drones was spying on them and the one watching was Vinyl Scratch, hiding in her car.

Escaping from L.A.

In the early morning, Gabby’s phone rang in her bedroom. Gabby woke up and yawned. She picked it up and called, “Hello?”

“Morning, Gabby.”

“Nowhere? What do you want?”

Ms. Nowhere answered, “Come over to LA. We need your help. I'll explain the details when you get there.”

Gabby yawned, “Fine. You're lucky that I'm off from work.”

“Excellent. And bring your friends too.”

“Okay then. See ya.” Gabby hung up her phone and went to get change.

Meanwhile in Los Angeles, Echo stood in a room alone till a man walked in.

Echo said, “You made it.”

“Of course. I said I'd be here, didn't I? Who's the muscle?”

“What can I say, I don't trust you.” Echo stated, raising her suspicion.

Gabby and Cisco emerged from the shadows and stood ready for a fight with Frostee playing a game. Cisco nudged Frostee in the shoulder and let him know that their guest is in the room. Frostee put down the game and crossed his arms, looking fiercely at the man.

“So, did you bring the hard drive?” Echo interrogated the dealer.

“Did you bring the cash?”

Echo demanded, “First the hard drive.”

“You thought I was going to bring that here?” The dealer chuckled, “You were right not to trust me.”

As expected, five henchmen working with the dealer appeared and surrounded the teens. The dealer smiled, “You should've brought more muscle.”

Echo smirked, “No. You should have.”

Cisco opened his pocket and a lot of small, glowing drones appeared, intimidating the thugs. Frostee put on his visiors and the drones flashed a bright light, stunning the thugs.

Echo screamed as she, Cisco, and Gabby took them down, leaving the dealer to escape.

“I'm going after him!” Echo said and chased after him across an alleyway till they entered a train yard. From there, the dealer successfully escaped as a passing train blocked her path.

“He took the bait,” Echo smirked.

Meanwhile, Tony was in the Hauler with Ms. Nowhere and Gary, observing their target’s whereabouts.

“Tech guy, I want to hear that conversation!” Ms. Nowhere instructed.

“I have a name...”

Gary told him, “Just... Don't.”

While the tech guy was patching through the dealer’s communications, Tony asked Ms. Nowhere, “So Ms. Nowhere, you going to tell us about our surprise?”

“Not yet.” Ms. Nowhere answered until they listened to the suspicious man communicating with someone.

“It's me. I couldn't stop the, We're compromised. Get the hard drive out of the city immediately!”

Tony informed Ms. Nowhere, “We've flushed them out of hiding.”

“Looks like the old SH1FT3R crew has a new gig.” Ms. Nowhere observed.

Tony informed his team, “Guys, let's get that hard drive.”

Ms. Nowhere told him, “You better hurry if you want to meet up with your surprise.”

Echo and Cisco soon followed and drove their vehicles to the streets as Frostee worked on tracking down the SH1FT3R inside Cisco’s truck.

“You gonna join us or what? We're about to do some spy racing!” Cisco told Tony.

“Yeah, I'm on my way.” In reality, Tony was on a plane and jumped out of it, gliding to his self-driving car. He got into his car and drove it manually to catch up with his fellow teammates.

Echo scoffed, “Show-off.”

“Hey! Ms. Nowhere and I have been practicing that move for two months. There's no way I'm doing it now.” Tony explained.

Echo replied, “I think she likes shoving you out of planes.”

Tony answered, “Yeah, probably.”

Tony and his crew accelerated towards SH1FT3R until they spotted something up ahead.

Cisco squinted his eyes, “What's that?”

Ms. Nowhere answered over the com-link, “Your surprise.”

Scadan and his crew widened their eyes and stopped their cars. The Turtles (in their cloaked disguises), the Allies along with some new faces, the Rainbooms, and Vinyl Scratch were blocking their path.

PizzaRave shouted, “It's those New Yorkers again!”

“Plus those Canterlot brats!” Touge-Dori added.

Raph smiled, “That's right! And we got a surprise for you punks!”

“Like what?” Woofer asked.

“This.” Leo answered as the Turtles turned shut off their cloaking devices.

Donnie smirked, “Surprise.”

“Huh?!” Scadan became surprised as the rest of his SH1FT3R crew gasped.

Santiago stuttered, “What-what are they?”

Mikey popped up behind him. “We're aliens, brah! Spooky aliens! Boo!”

Santiago screamed and exited his car.

Scadan ordered, “Get 'em!”

The rest of the gang got out of their cars and attacked the Ninjas.

Donnie blocked an attack from Santiago with his staff. “We're not aliens, we’re turtles.”

“Not the time, Donnie!” Leo said, spin-kicking Santiago, knocking him out.

Muscles exited his car to attack the Turtles.

Raph stepped in and dodged his punches before knocking him back with two kicks. Muscles cracked his neck before getting ready to attack again.

“Alright.” Raph smirked. Then he rushed forward, dodging another punch and kneed Muscles in the face, sending him down to the ground.

One of the Allies, Carter knocked two thugs away with a split kick, before he called, “Hey, Raph, check this out!” When Bonegrinder threw a punch, he grabbed his first, hit him in the chest with a chop, and threw him over his shoulder before side-kicking him down.

Rainbow speed-rammed Woofer away before she said, “Awesome, Carter!”

“Yeah,” Raph agreed, “We give yah a ten.” Both he and Rainbow held out all of their fingers.

“Hey, Raph, only a six?” Carter asked in faux disappointment, before he flipped a sneak-attacking Touge-Dori.

“It's all I got,” Raph replied.

Muscles got up and was about to pound him, when Applejack suddenly lifted him up with her super strength and threw him. “Mommy!” He cried.

“That's AJ,” Raph said.

“You're welcome,” Applejack replied.

Scadan was throwing punches at Leo, who blocked and dodged each hit, before kicking him into his car. Scadan growled until he looked and noticed the Spy Racers following them. “Janey Mack! Everyone, forget these mugs and split up!”

Woofer and Muscles got up as the rest of SH1FT3R split up, got in their cars, and drove away from their enemies except Santiago. After that, the Ninjas helped the Spy Racers track down each individual SH1FT3R member.

Leo asked Tony over the com-link, “What's the matter Tony? Not happy to see us?”

Tony smiled, “No, no, not at all. I'm very happy to see you guys, but we got a hard drive to snag.”

At the waterway underneath, Tony in his car, Leo, Raph, and Blade Swipe in the Shellraiser, chased after Bonegrinder and Scadan.

Bonegrinder turned around and fired paintballs at them.

Leo informed Tony over the com-link, “Tony, we'll handle Bonegrinder. You go after Scadan.”

Raph told his brother, “I'm going out there.”

“I'm coming with you.” Blade Swipe got onto the Shellraiser roof and used his hockey stick to pull Raph up.

“First I blind ‘em,” Bonegrinder then pulled a wheelie on his monster truck. “Then I grind ‘em.”

Raph asked Blade Swipe, “Ready?”

Blade Swipe nodded, “I’m ready when you are.”

Blade Swipe and Raph jumped onto Tony’s car as he pulled a wheelie on his car and activated the turbo boosters while the two ninjas held on the car tight.

“Whoa!” Tony screamed as his car jumped over Bonegrinder’s monster truck.

The two ninjas got off of Tony’s car and Blade Swipe stabbed the roof of the monster truck.

Bonegrinder yelled, “Hey, I just painted this!”

Blade Swipe sliced the roof open and threw him out as Raph jumped into the driver's seat.

“Let's catch up with the others.” Raph told Blade Swipe. "Finally I get to drive this bad boy!"

Scadan watched the whole thing until he yelled as Tony pulled the brakes, crashing right into Scadan’s car. Scadan got his head rung until he heard some calling out to him.

“Hey!” Keno shouted, driving up on his scooter, getting their attention. “You guys are under arrest!”

Scadan questioned him in front of Keno, “What are you? Security?”

Keno jokingly answered while holding a pizza box, “Well, no. Actually, I'm pizza delivery.”

Scadan ordered Muscles and Bonegrinder, “Take him out!”

The two came to Scadan’s aid and approached him, cracking their knuckles.

Keno threw the pizza box in the air and nailed each of them with a kick. Then he swept Bonegrinder's legs. “Down we go!” And kicked Muscles in the face. “Whoa-hah!” Scadan rushed at him and threw a punch but Keno ducked and kicked him in the face and gut before knocking him down. As Scadan got back up, Keno kicked him in the face before he caught the pizza box. “Stay down!”

Tony was amazed. “Whoa...”

Keno said, “Did I mention I study martial arts?”

Muscles got back up and charged right at Keno until he got kicked in the gut by Angel, appearing out of nowhere.

“Not this time, big guy!” Angel retorted.

Muscles grabbed Angel. “You shouldn't be in this fight, little girl!”

“What you call me? You did not just call me little girl?!” Angel said.

“Yeah I did! Whatcha gonna do about it?” Muscles replied back.

Angel answered, “You mess with the Angel, you get the sticks!”

Muscles wondered, “Huh?” Before he knew it, Angel whipped out her sparing sticks and whacked him left, right, and nailed him in the face before kicking him in the jaw, making him drop her.

Angel then back-flipped onto his shoulders, using her body weight to topple him over before nailing him with a Canadian Destroyer, knocking him out as well. “I warned yah.”

Meanwhile, Echo, Aria, and Adagio were chasing after Touge-Dori through the traffic.

"Oh no!" Touge-Dori groaned, when she saw them behind her.

Adagio greeted her, “Great to see ya, Echo!”

Echo happily replied, “I'm happy to see you too, Adagio and Aria.”

“Thanks. We got your back, Echo.” Aria vowed.

The three girls dodged the incoming cars with their vehicles until Touge-Dori slammed Echo’s car against the rail. Echo held on and called Aria, “Yo, Aria, remember that move we practiced for emergencies like this?”

Aria grinned, “Oh, yeah!” Then she drove up beside Touge-Dori and rammed into her car. The both she and Echo hit the boosters in their cars, pressed down on the gas, and took Touge-Dori for a spin.

Touge-Dori screamed as crashed into a street light and fell unconscious.

Adagio noticed them, “Wow. Talk about taking a car for a spin.”

Meanwhile, Cisco, Sonata, and Vinyl Donnie and Applejack were also riding in the back of Cisco’s truck were chasing the Woofer down an alleyway and were slowly gaining.

“We almost got her.” Frostee said.

“She's not getting away from us!” Sonata grinned.

The Woofer looked back with a frown, before she pressed a button. Then a hose popped out from under the car and sprayed grease all over the ground. Before the two could hit the brakes, Cisco’s truck and Sonata’s key car drove through the grease and went spinning around out of control, the five screaming.

As they spun around, Cisco said to Frostee, “I can't believe your moms let you be a spy!”

Sonata shakily said, “Gonna have to agree with my boyfriend on that, little buddy.”

“Wait?! Your mothers found out?!” Applejack asked the tech wiz. “And they're cool with that?!”

“I know, right?!” Frostee shakily replied, “And it was easier than you would think!”

“It's true!” Donnie confirmed, while hanging on. “Leo was there!”

Sometime after the Las Vegas incident, Ms. Nowhere and Leo were having a private conversation with Frostee’s moms as Frostee watched.

“It’s time we leveled with you. I'm a government agent and your son has been working as a spy.”

Frostee glanced nervously at his moms before...

“Ha!” Wanda laughed in triumph. “I knew it!” She turned to Tiffany. “Pay up!” Tiffany groaned and handed her a dollar. “When I saw that footage of Vegas blowing up, I knew that was Frostee.”

Ms. Nowhere turned to Leo, who sighed and deactivated his disguise, revealing himself as a turtle. “Furthermore, my brothers and friends are trained Ninjas and Kunoichi.”

“I knew it!” Tiffany exclaimed before snatching the dollar back from her wife's hand. “I told you all those crazy reports in New York were real.”

With the two vehicles preoccupied, the Woofer began to pull away, when Vinyl Scratch drove out from another alley and pulled up alongside. The Woofer rammed into her, but Vinyl held well and pushed her back.

“Hang on!” Cisco called to his passers as he and Sonata regained control and made it past the grease. Then they continued to chase the Woofer. While she was dealing with Vinyl, Woofer saw the two cars approaching. Woofer activated her speakers and blasted her enemies (except Vinyl) with her deafening bass.

“Is that all you got, Woofer?” Applejack called, then the Woofer blasted them with her music, making them yell and cover their ears.

“You just had to ask!” Donnie yelled.

“Reckon she's still mad that I scratched her ride!” Applejack guessed.

Vinyl got that determined look on her face, stepped on the gas, and drove past Cisco and Sonata to move up to the front. From there, she fired the Woofer back with her own subwoofer from her car. Woofer rammed her car into Vinyl's, but the DJ held it pretty well.

Cisco called, “Ahh, she's too... much... bass!”

Sonata cried, “Again, I like music, but I like my hearing more!”

“Time to adjust the EQ!” Frostee sent out a drone. “Vinyl, pull back and help me out with this!” The girl nodded and pulled back next to the truck.”Woofer, meet, subwoofer!” He turned up the volume and the drone sent a sound wave right back at Woofer's car. Vinyl activated her bass canon and blasted her music at Woofer.

The soundwaves shorted out the Woofer’s speakers and even cracked her windows. The two shut them off as all the wheels on Woofer’s car fell off. Seizing her chance, Vinyl Scratch floored the gas and rammed into the Woofer, sending her crashing into a wall. Then she stopped and got out, just as an angry Woofer kicked open her passager door.

“Look what you and that punk did to my ride!” She growled, raising her fists. “You're gonna pay!”

Vinyl just smirked and got into a stance, giving a 'your move' gesture. Then the Woofer charged at her and the two DJs duked it out.

After that, Vinyl tossed Woofer into some garbage cans, defeating her.

Back at the waterway, Tony and his allies tied up Scadan and Bonegrinder as everyone checked in.

“Did anyone find the hard drive?” Tony asked everyone.

Echo answered over the com-link, “Touge-Dori didn't have it.”

“It's not The Woofer.” Cisco replied over the com-link.

Tony wondered, “We're missing someone…”

Ms. Nowhere yelled, “It's PizzaRave!”

As PizzaRave continued driving, Ms. Nowhere watched from surveillance. “She snuck away. Looks like a helicopter heading to her direction. We need to get to PizzaRave before that helicopter.”

“We're working on it.” Gabby answered as she continued driving the Turtle Racer alongside Casey and April.

Tony, the Rainbooms, and the Turtles noticed the helicopter and followed the direction of the helicopter with their vehicles.

As the helicopter took off, Tony jumped his car off the building and grappled on to the helicopter.

“TONY!” Gabby yelled. “Casey, take the wheel!” Casey took over driving as Gabby used one of the Turtles’ grappling hooks and grappled on to Tony’s car.

From there, Tony saw Gabby latched on and helped her in.

Tony asked, “Gabby?! What are you doing here?”

Gabby replied, “Did you really think you're going to handle this alone, primo?”

Tony reeled in the chain, allowing them to climb aboard as PizzaRave took down the first rope until Gabby kicked her.

“Give it up, PizzaRave.” Tony stated.

Gabby added, “It's over now.”

“Not gonna happen, Freak Lovers.”

“You're going to regret saying that, la chica.” Gabby retorted.

PizzaRave noticed the other rope and used her laser device from her wrist and cut the rope, sending Tony’s car falling all the way to the ground.

“No!” Tony shouted.

Tony's car was destroyed on impact, but the dropped weight caused the helicopter to quickly go left and caused the Toretto Twins to knock PizzaRave off the helicopter.

Tony gasped, “Oh no!”

Gabby told him, “Go! I got the pilot.”

Tony dived out of the helicopter and caught PizzaRave. “I got you!” He said as he glided towards the party on the rooftop and landed on the pool.

“Ha! Got it!” Tony cheered, rising up from the pool as well as PizzaRave, whose makeup was ruined. He noticed the people at the pool party and asked, “Did somebody order a PizzaRave?”

“You said that? What did she say?” Frostee questioned.

Tony explained, “Eh, nothing really. She didn't know who PizzaRave is. Anyway, nice job team! Thanks to the GPS coordinates on that hard drive, we located the stolen goods and broke up one of the biggest smuggling rings in the world!”

Everyone whooped and cheered for their victory against SH1FT3R.

Leo smiled, “Yeah, everyone did great.”

“Yo Leo, I hate to be rude... But who's the scar face in the leather jacket? And your other friends?” Echo noticed their new friends.

“Oh, these three are our friends from New York. Meet Carter, Angel, and Keno. And this is Blade Swipe, he's a friends of ours from Equestria.” Leo answered.

Cisco gave Blade Swipe a bear hug, causing Blade Swipe to drop his weapons. “Always happy to make new friends.”

Blade Swipe smiled, “Thank you. It's nice to meet friends of Leonardo and the others.”

Frostee noticed something from his laptop. “That's odd. I'm detecting high energy readings coming from Blade Swipe.”

Tony, Cisco, and Echo were confused.

“Explain.” Echo insisted.

Frostee explained, “He's generating some kind of energy straight from his body.”

Blade Swipe suggested, “Must be the Equestria Magic.”

Cisco excitingly gasped, “Are you a sorcerer?”

Mikey smiled, “Our boy knows some spells.”

Raph added, “But he's a fighter like us.”

“You don't get to be a Royal Guard for nothing.” Blade mentioned.

Tony noticed Vinyl Scratch and asked, “And who's she?”

Rainbow answered, “Meet Vinyl Scratch. Also known as DJ Pon-3!”

“She's the DJ at our school and she often jams with our band,” Sunset explained.

“Whoa, that's awesome!” Tony grinned, and Vinyl shrugged humbly.

Echo noticed that Vinyl hadn't spoken even once and asked, “Does she ever talk?”

“Nope,” Pinkie answered. “She let the music do the talking for her.” And Vinyl nodded.

“You get used to it,” Angel said. “Echo, right?”

“Yeah, and your Angel,” Echo replied. “Heard you took down Muscles. That's impressive.”

“I did,” Angel confirmed. “Raph, Applejack, and Keno also took him down.”

“Taken down four times in one day,” Echo chuckled. “That's embarrassing.”

“Yeah it is!” And the two girls shared a laugh.

Then all of a sudden, everyone heard some heavy knocking coming from a distance.

“Uh, did y'all hear that?” Applejack asked.

Everyone got their weapons ready as they opened a container and a man jumped out. The man ran only to be knocked out by Gary.

Casey called him, “Gary!”

Gary saw the Ninjas and greeted them, “Hey everyone, long time no see.”

Keno asked, “Is he a friend of yours?”

Tony answered, “Yep.”

Gabby stated, “Don't worry, he's friendlier than he looks.”

Gary nodded, “It's true. Everyone okay?”

“Yeah, but what the heck was that? I thought there was just contraband in these containers.” Tony answered.

Frostee questioned, “And what's with that tattoo?”

Gary explained, “Well, some tattoos reveal gang affiliation... Which Leo's group knows well.”

Everyone in Leo's party admitted that Gary was right while Frostee scanned the guy’s tattoo.

“And sometimes they're just cool,” Gary added.

Ms. Nowhere showed up on the scene and yelled, “Zip it, Gary! Get him in the car!”

Raph and Aria glared at Ms. Nowhere as Tony asked her, “Hey, what's going on.”

Ms. Nowhere answered, "Nothing that concerns any of you. Forget about it.”

Raph reached for his sais, but Sunset stopped him. She said, “She's not worth it.”

“Oh, so you're Ms. Nowhere, huh?” Angel inquired. “The Turtles and Rainbooms told me a lot about you.”

"You don't say,” Ms. Nowhere turned her attention to Angel as she was intrigued. She replied, “And what did they say about me? That I'm heroic? Determined? Good looking? Awesome?!”

“None of the above,” Angel replied, and began listing off. “They said you were... Mean. Crude. Mean. Arrogant. Mean. Bossy. Mean. Conceited. Mean. Condescending. Mean. Nasty. Mean. Disrespectful. Mean. Selfish. Mean. Unfriendly. Mean. Insulting. Mean. Rude. Mean. Yells a lot. Mean. Tells bad jokes. Mean. Loves to put others down. Mean. The worst. Mean. A thief. Did I mention they said you were mean?”

Everyone laughed as Ms Nowhere scowled. Even Gary couldn't help but chuckle.

“Although, Fluttershy said that beneath all that mean word, you have a heart.” Angel noted as Ms. Nowhere grinned after hearing Angel’s explanation.

Frostee chimed in, “Okay, just some advice,” He took off his visors, “If you want someone to forget about something, don’t tell them to forget about it.”

Back at the hideout, everyone was relaxing. Echo was trying to do a trick on her skateboard. However, she failed and crashed onto the floor.

Mikey winced, “Ooh, that's gonna hurt.”

Echo growled, “Dang, so close.”

“Don't give up, Echo. Just keep on trying. Like me for example. Watch.”

Mikey skated on the skate ramp with his skateboard and performed a trick. He landed perfectly and Echo was amazed.

“Whoa,” Echo said.

While Mikey helped Echo back up, Tony noticed, “Looking good, you two.”

Ms. Nowhere ordered everyone, “Gather around, everyone. I have something to tell you all.”

Everyone gathered around for a meeting and Sunset asked, “Are you here to tell us about that tattooed man that we found in the container?”

Ms. Nowhere answered, “No, I'm not.”

“Well what did you find about him? Who is he?” Leo questioned her.

Tony chimed in, “What's his link to the smugglers?”

“And why was he in a container?” Frostee asked.

Cisco suggested, “Maybe cheap travel. Those airlines take advantage of you every chance they get. Paying for a bag… Who travels without a bag?”

“No one, that's who.” Blade Swipe answered, sharpening his Kyoketsu-Shoge.

Ms. Nowhere ordered the teens, “Would everyone please stop talking! This guy might be linked to international criminals trying to set up shop in Brazil, so...”

Gabby interrupted her, “So we're going to Brazil for an international investigation?!”

Everyone cheered in excitement.

“No! I was going to say, Interpol has it from here.” Ms. Nowhere answered, shutting their celebration down.

“Say what?!” Raph complained.

The teens booed and groaned after hearing Ms. Nowhere’s statement.

Gabby complained to her, “Why is it everytime an investigation leads out of LA, we lose the assignment?! Combined with Leo and everyone here, we have plenty of muscle, brainpower, and skills.”

Ms. Nowhere shouted, “Because none of you know anything about international investigation!”

Angel insisted her, “Then let us go to Brazil and learn about them! Which by the way, it's for my school project.”

Ms. Nowhere denied their request. “No. I'm not going to lose another agent down there.”

Frostee reacted, “Wait, what? You lost an agent?”

Pinkie asked, “Who was it?”

Ms. Nowhere answered, “Never mind! Look, I'm not here to talk about the tattooed man or investigations, I came here to tell you that I'll be on assignment for a while.”

“So what do we do when you're gone?” Tony asked.

Ms. Nowhere explained, “I don't know, take a break. Do some things you used to do in the city before you were a spy. Why did you think I called your friends from New York and Canterlot to come.”

“You mean you called us over for some glorified playdate, not because you needed our help?!” Raph questioned her, as Spike growled.

Twilight assured him, “Not worth it, Spike. Sit.” Spike huffed and sat down on the floor.

"Not cool, Nowhere!" Mikey frowned.

Aria grimaced, “Can we hurt her now, Adagio?”

Adagio answered, “Not. Yet.”

“You are a mean lady,” Carter commented.

Tony said, “Well I can't do what I used to do. Okay? My car's getting repaired.”

Ms. Nowhere started thinking about Tony’s car until she got an idea on her mind. She gasped, “You know what? I might be able to pull some strings and get a vehicle for you.”

Outside the hideout, Tony was unimpressed as he stared and frowned, looking at an old white van.

Ms. Nowhere smiled proudly, “Huh?! What do you think? It's the spy van! Don't say I never did anything for you.”

Echo stated, “That's the saddest spy van I've ever seen.”

“The motorcycles we got were cooler than that.” Rainbow mentioned.

Ms. Nowhere told Echo, “That’s just because you’ve never spent a month in the back eating barbecue sunflower seeds, waiting for a dead drop that never happens.”

Cisco wiped off some dust from the van, “Man, it's sadder than we thought.”

“I think I'll stick with my scooter than this thing.” Keno stated.

“Welcome to van life, Tony. Embrace it.” Ms. Nowhere told him, giving Tony the keys to the van.

Tony was sad as he drove his van later in the afternoon with Gabby sitting right next to him. Casey, Carter, and Angel sat in the middle seats.

“Yo primo, can I tell you something?” Gabby asked.

Tony frowned, “What?”

Gabby said, “I just want to say that I'm sorry about your car. I know how much it meant to you.”

“Yeah, me and Donnie would be crushed if the Turtle Racer ever got totaled,” Casey sympathized.

“Same with me and my bike,” Carter added.

“It's alright, guys. I understand.” Tony assured them and looked at Blade Swipe, meditating in the back. “So, what's his story?”

Gabby explained, “Life has been cruel to him."

“It totally was,” Casey said, “He was tortured, used like a puppet, and lost his parents.”

Tony wondered, “Is that why you guys brought him here?”

“Yeah, but the guys told us that they managed to reunite him with his sister and friends,” Angel noted.

“I convinced Leo to bring him. I thought you guys might be some good friends to him.”

“We will. If Leo trusts him, that's enough for us.” Tony said as a driver in his vehicle drove past the van.

“Move your van, moron!”

Gabby patted Blade’s shoulder. “Blade Swipe, wake up. Let's go grab something to eat.”

Blade Swipe woke up and grabbed his gear. While Blade, Gabby, and the others exited the van, some dude walked up to Tony, “Tony! Whattup, dawg? You making a delivery, or is that your new ride?”

Tony answered, “It's, uh... It's my new ride.”

“Sweet, I have the same van.” The van dude pointed to his van that looked like Tony’s, but much cleaner.

Then, some random neighbor who knew Tony shouted, “Toretto! It's been too long. Whatcha been up to, man?”

Tony answered, “Well… Nothing, I guess.”

“Nothing except driving the same sweet van as me! We should totally get a van selfie!” The van dude cheered, holding his phone up to get a selfie with Tony, who was not pleased.

The five waited as Tony walked up to the food truck.

The neighbor told Tony, “You should've been here yesterday! There was this crazy chase through the city and some dude jumped out of a helicopter! It was amazing!”

Tony sheepishly said, “Yeah, sounds amazing.”

“Guys?” Came a voice. Gabby, Casey, Carter, Angel, and Blade turned and saw three familiar faces approach them.

“Zach? Caitlyn?” Casey asked.

“Hey, Buffy!” Carter smiled when he saw her, while Angel rolled her eyes at her brother.

“Hey, guys,” Buffy waved.

Zach hugged Angel, “Ah man, it's good to see you!”

Angel returned the hug, “Same. But what are guys doing here?”

“We could ask you guys the same,” Caitlyn stated.

“You know these guys?” Tony asked.

“Yeah, Tony, Meet our other friends from New York, Zach and Caitlyn Roberts and Buffy Shellhammer,” Gabby introduced. “Guys, this is my other cousin, Tony Torreto.”

“So he's the street racing cousin you told us about?” Caitlyn asked.

“Got that part right,” Tony bragged. “Anyway, welcome to LA.”

“So why are you three here?” Angel asked.

“Caitlyn and I are here on a girl's trip,” Buffy explained.

“But mom and dad said I had to bring Zach with,” Caitlyn added in annoyance.

“And I'm glad they did, I've always wanted to visit LA!” Zach said. “So why are you guys here?”

“Uh, we can't really explain right here,” Gabby whispered.

Then, everyone heard a car engine roaring through the streets and the white key car arrived by the food truck. The person driving the red key car was none other than Mitch.

“'Sup, losers. The Mitch is back!”

“Oh, no,” Gabby grumbled.

Blade Swipe asked, “Who's he?”

Gabby answered, “That's Mitch, he's a headache.”

“His car looks like one of the Dazzlings?” Buffy said.

“Long story, amiga.” Gabby noted.

The neighborhood dude told them, “Well, I'll let you guys talk about vans. I'm gonna go check out Mitch's sweet ride. Talk about a winner!”

The locals started taking pictures of Mitch's key car, much to his annoyance.

“Hey, it's five bucks apiece for those pics, and no touching my car!” Mitch stated, then he saw Tony. "Hey, Torreto, where's that slomo soapboxer of yours? Bet it can't beat my awesome new ride!"

Tony groaned as Caitlyn said, "What a jerk!"

"Yes he is," Gabby noted.

Then Mitch noticed her and Buffy, "Hey there, Gabby. You know, you and your hot friend over there can take pics and touch my car for free."

Gabby and Buffy looked annoyed and disgusted while Casey and Carter looked angry.

Blade Swipe meanwhile had an idea to mess with Mitch. He whispered something to Casey, who smirked, pulling out a hockey puck and his hockey stick. Then he nailed Mitch's key car square on the grill.

Mitch screamed and shouted, "My car!"

Casey smugly whispered, “Whoops.”

Tony and the others burst out laughing.

Gabby whispered while giggling, “Good one, Casey.”

“It was Blade's idea,” Casey motioned to Blade and they both gave each other high five.

After that as the van dude asked Tony, “Hey, are you going to the van rally next week? All the vans are going to be out in the desert: Little Granny Vanny, the Van Trap Family, Van Go, Tall Dark and Vansome, Van Halen, The Vanhatten Project, The Vanatee, The Last Van Standing, The Vancurists…”

"Yeah, yeah, we get the picture already," Angel interrupted, dryly.

Later during the evening, Frostee’s house, Frostee was working on a project with Mikey and Sonata acting as his assistants till Sissy came in.

“This came for you,” Sissy informed her brother, delivering his package. “Hey Sonata! Hey Mikey!”

The two ninjas waved at Sissy. Sonata greeted her, “Hi Sissy!”

“What's up?” Mikey cheered.

“All right, finally!” Frostee opened the box and brought out a rare flower.

Sonata ogled, “Pretty flower.”

“A flower? Are you going to prom or something?” Sissy questioned her brother.

Frostee answered, “I'm figuring out a formula I saw a tattoo on some guy's arm, if you must know.”

Sissy walked out and replied, “Nah, I don't care.” She then started messing with Frostee’s toy.

“I discovered that the formula creates a synthetic version of a compound found in the Pimenta do Diabo flower like this one! They're super rare!” Frostee explained as Sissy repaired it and put the toy back on the shelf.

“Not interested.” Sissy replied.

Frostee mentioned, “Mikey suggested having the flower might help me understand the synthetic formula.”

“I can't believe I thought you were going to prom. So, why do you have these two and not Donnie and Twilight?” Sissy asked.

Mikey answered, “Donnie wanted to work on our rides a bit.”

Sonata replied, “And Twilight's doing the same with the key cars.”

“Time to get to work.” Frostee took a sample from it and began mixing it, but nothing happened.

Mikey groaned, “Nothing.”

Frostee suggested, “Guess you can't trust strangers' tattoos.”

The trio took a nap to wait for something to happen in the flask. One hour later, the chemical liquid in the flask started fizzling. The trio woke up and saw the fizzling liquid.

“That's not a good sign.” Sonata said as Frostee gasped.

The liquid exploded and the trio screamed. After that, the rest of Frostee’s family entered his room and it was a mess.

Tiffany was worried and asked them, “Frostee, Mikey, Sonata! You kids okay?”

“We're fine.” Frostee answered as Mikey and Sonata were okay as well.

Sissy noticed her brother’s hair and told him, “Your hair is smoking.”

Sonata saw it and patted her little buddy's head to put out the smoke.

Wanda told them, “Don't you three have a government lab to blow up?! You three are going to clean up this mess, and no whining about it. And remember, Leo and Adagio told you that you'll listen to us while you're staying in our house.”

Frostee nodded, “Clean up the mess. Okay, we'll do that.”

“Because I say s--,” Wanda ordered until she paused for a moment. “Wait. Did you just say you’ll do that?”

Frostee acknowledged, “Yeah, we'll clean up the mess.”

“He's not lying, Mrs. Benson.” Sonata added

“Mmhmm.” Mikey nodded.

Tiffany was surprised by her son obeying her wife’s request. “Well that's a first. That boy has never willingly agreed to clean up anything. And according to Leo and Adagio, they have to force Mikey and Sonata to clean.”

Wanda added, “And you know what, why don't you three clean up the restaurant when you're done in here?”

Frostee smiled, “Clean the restaurant. We will do that.”

Mikey cheered, “You can count on us, Mrs. Benson!”

Tiffany squealed, celebrating with Wanda. “We're finally getting some respect around here.”

Sissy grew into suspicion after hearing Frostee and his friends agreeing to her mom’s demands, raising an eyebrow on them.

The three teens started cleaning up Frostee’s bedroom and after that, they cleaned up the restaurant while singing in unison.

“Sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep…”

The next day, the trio rushed into the hideout, dirty and exhausted from last night.

Frostee alerted everyone, “Guys, remember that weird tattoo we saw on that man's arm yesterday?”

Cisco remembered, “Yeah! The one that's a heart with a skull and dagger and birds and says "mom"?”

“That was so metal.” Casey commented.

“If you think that's cool, you should see my Cutie Mark in Equestria.” Blade Swipe suggested.

“No, Cisco, the tattoo on the tattooed guy from our bust.” Frostee reminded Cisco.

“Oh, right…” Cisco remembered.

“But that skull ink was pretty dope.” Echo complimented, skated right by her friends.

Gabby asked him, “Well what's going on Frostee? Did you find something out?”

“Well, I did a little research, and I think one of his tattoos is actually a formula.”

Leo wondered, “A formula? For what?”

Frostee explained, “We're not sure. The three of us mixed it together and an hour later it blew up and rattled our brains. We don't remember much, but when we came to, we'd cleaned my room...

Mikey continued, “And the restaurant...”

Sonata finished Frostee’s explanation, “And combed the hair of all 52 of Sissy's mermaid-pony doll thingies!”

The trio said in unison, “It was weird.”

Sunset asked, “Could this formula be for a weapon, or some rocket fuel for something?”

Frostee answered, “Maybe.”

Tony figured that the formula was dangerous. He told everyone, “We gotta tell Ms. Nowhere.”

Raph and Aria growled in frustration after hearing her name.

Meanwhile, Ms. Nowhere threw knives at Julius's picture as target practice.

Julius was confused, but complimented her, “Nice shot, Ms. Nowhere, but I'm not sure why you gotta have my face is on it.”

“And I'm not sure why you thought you could eat the last donut!” Ms. Nowhere shouted until she groaned.

Julius replied, “Those were mine…”

Just then, Tony and his friends appeared on the computer screen. He reached out to Ms. Nowhere, “Good, you're still here. We think we may have found something from the guy in the container.”

Ms. Nowhere shouted, “I thought I told you all to relax!” She then threw Julius aside, “It's like everything I tell you to do, you do the opposite!”

Julius groaned, “I'm okay.”

“You need to listen, Ms. Nowhere. We think that guy is important.” Gabby chimed in.

Ms. Nowhere fired back, “Of course he's important! The entire reason for the smuggling was to get him!”

“WHAT?! YOU KNEW ABOUT HIM?!” Raph snapped.

Aria snapped as well, “I THOUGHT YOU TOLD US TO GET THE HARD DRIVE FROM SH1FT3R!”

Blade Swipe and a few others grabbed the raging duo to contain them.

“That's because That's what I wanted you to think. Plus, you did stop a smuggling ring, so That's a good thing.” Ms. Nowhere explained, crossing her arms.

“You left us in the dark? Not cool.” Tony said.

Ms. Nowhere replied to them, “You know what else isn't cool? Having my orders disobeyed all the time! Now if you don't mind, I have a mission to get to.”

Frostee chimed in, “Wait! At least tell us what the formula is for. We tried to mix it, it almost blew me and my assistants out of my house.”

“What formula?” Ms. Nowhere asked.

Sunset explained, “Frostee recognized the tattoo on the guy’s arm. Did you know it was a formula?”

Ms. Nowhere turned her away from the screen. “Of course I knew! Bye!” She turned off the video chat and as she was ready to call from her phone, Pinkie abruptly asked, “Well, what is it for?”

“Bye!” Ms. Nowhere turned off the video chat in annoyance. Then she called Gary from her phone. “Gary, check his tattoos.”

“What am I looking for?” Gary asked while reading a book.

Ms. Nowhere answered, “I discussed them intel that one of them may be some kind of formula.”

Gary closed his book. “Okay, I'll call you back.”

In the safe house, Gary entered the interrogation room and the tattooed man was gone except for the handcuffs.

“Uh-oh.” Gary noticed as the tattooed man perched onto the ceiling until Gary turned around and the tattooed man knocked him out before he locked the door, leaving Gary inside the room.

The tattooed man escaped and headed towards the street where Mitch was chatting with the food truck vendor.

“…And then he just threw it away! I was like, "Hey, that's the bottom nub, it's full of all the best stuff!" So I pulled it out of the trash and ate it.”

While Mitch was taking a bite out of his tacos, the tattooed man hopped on to Mitch’s key car and started its engines.

Mitch heard his car and was shocked that the man carjacked his ride. “What?! No!” The tattoo dude drove off with his key car and Mitch was too late to catch him, leaving him high and dry. “Not my car!”

Meanwhile, at a table close by, Angel, Zach, Caitlyn, and Buffy had seen everything.

“Hey, that was the tatto guy the others busted!” Angel said.

“How'd he get away?” Caitlyn asked.

“We gotta stop him!” Zach stated.

“What?!” Buffy exclaimed. “Are you crazy?!”

“Plus, he just drove off,” Caitlyn noted. “We should tell the Turtles and Rainbooms.”

“There's no time, he'll get away!” Zach retorted.

“Zach's right,” Angel said. “We gotta catch him and we gotta do it now!”

“And how are we going to that?” Buffy inquired. “I don't think my car's fast enough to catch up with him.”

Angel noticed something and smirked, “We're not gonna catch him in your car.” She pointed over to where Mitch's old car was parked. “All you gotta do is get the keys from 'Tall, Dumb, and Obnoxious' over there.”

“Excuse me?” Buffy asked, then Angel whispered something to her and her eyes widened in shock and disgust. “No! No no no, absolutely not! I'm not doing it!”

“Okay, when we tell the others, I'll let Ms. Nowhere know that you let the guy get away...” Angel smirked.

Buffy groaned in defeat, “You owe me for this!” And she walked up to Mitch. “Hey, there,” she gagged a bit. “Handsome. Sorry about your car. But if it'll make you feel better, I've got a surprise for you...” She batted her eyes.

Mitch took the bait. “Really?”

“Yeah, but first, give me your other car keys,” Buffy held out her hand.

“What?”

“Give me your car keys, please,” Buffy repeated. “And then you'll get your surprise.”

“Alright,” Mitch handed her his keys. “So, where's my surprise?”

“Right... here...” Buffy socked Mitch right in the face. Then Mitch fell to the ground unconscious.

Zach laughed and Caitlyn said, “Oooooh, good punch!”

“Serves the big goon right for hitting on me!” Buffy glared down at Mitch. “Let's get out of here before he wakes up.”

As they hurried over to the car, Zach stopped and took Mitch’s hat and put it on. As they all piled inside, he noticed that his sister was behind the wheel while Buffy sat with him in the back.

“Wait, why aren't you driving, Buffy?” Zach asked.

“Because, I've been giving Caitlyn driving lessons and she needs the practice,” Buffy explained, tossing the keys to Caitlyn.

Caitlyn started the car and went through a routine, “Okay, save driver check list. Step one: seatbelts. Step two: hands at ten and two. Step three: mirrors. Step four: breathe," she took a deep breath. "Okay, I'm good.”

“Hey!” They looked and saw Mitch had woken up and was running toward them.

“Step six: FLOOR IT!” Angel shouted, and Caitlyn stomped on the gas. The car sped away leaving Mitch in the dust.

“Wonder if he's stubborn enough to keep chasing us?” Zach said.

Gary heard his phone ringing and started waking up, coming to his senses after he was ambushed.

“Hello?” Gary groaned, video chatting Ms. Nowhere.

“Why haven't you been answering?! Did you find anything?” Ms. Nowhere questioned.

Gary sheepishly answered as he picked up his sunglasses, “Umm… About that…”

Ms. Nowhere facepalmed while groaning, “Gary!”

“He's stronger than he looks!”

“You're a giant man!” Ms. Nowhere reminded him.

“I know, but it's not the dog in the fight, it's the fight in the dog.”

Ms. Nowhere was disappointed with him. She scowled, “Don't! I don't want to hear you speak right now.”

“Maybe Tony, Leo, and the others can help.” Gary suggested.

Ms. Nowhere shouted, “I said, don't speak!”

Gary tried to leave the room, but the door was locked.

Back in the Crew’s hideout, Tony and his friends were video chatting with Ms. Nowhere on screen to make a deal.

“Fine, but if we find him for you, you have to fill us in on what's going on. We want to know everything.” Tony said.

Ms. Nowhere agreed to his terms, “Fine, it's a deal.”

“Now tell us the truth, Ms. Nobody, you didn't know about the formula, did you?” Gabby insisted as her friends giggled.

“Would you just get going?!” Ms. Nowhere yelled.

After their conversation with Ms. Nowhere, the tech support started tracking their target from the Yoka head computer room.

Frostee showed them the first footage, “Okay, there he is, leaving the safe house.”

Donnie cut to the second footage, “And here he is twenty minutes later.”

“No way! He took Mitch's key car!” Cisco laughed at the third footage.

“Hahahaha! That’s hilarious!” Spike cackled on the floor. “Oh look at Mitch throwing a fit right there!”

Everyone laughed as they continued watching Mitch having bad luck again on footage.

Echo laughed, “Frostee, you got to play that again.”

“Yeah, do it! I want to see that show again.” Rainbow chimed in.

“No, we don't have much time…” Tony reminded everyone.

“He’s right, y'all.” Applejack stated as Leo and Sunset nodded.

Tony then quickly changed his mind. “Okay, maybe just one more, real quick.”

“Oh, apple sauce.” Applejack facepalmed.

Frostee played the rest of the footage and some laughed again till they got an alert.

Twilight informed everyone, “One of the interstate cameras just picked up the car close to Mexico.”

Sonata asked, “How can we get to him? He has a huge lead on us.”

Leo then got a text from Buffy and also noticed something else on the traffic cams. “Don't worry, because we've got some friends already on it.” He pointed to the footage showing Angel and the others steal Mitch’s other car.

Tony and the others laughed harder when they saw Buffy punch Mitch.

“Oooooh, right in the kisser!” Raph chuckled.

“Who knew Buffy had a strong left hook?” Adagio said.

“Or that Mitch had a glass jaw?” Echo added.

After they saw the others drive off with Mitch chasing them on foot, Mikey said, “Wonder if Mitch is stubborn enough to keep chasing them?”

“Either way, they could use some help,” Leo stated.

Minutes later, the Ninjas and Crew were in their vehicles inside the spy plane. With April and Pinkie in the Party Wagon. Applejack with her truck. Vinyl with her car. Fluttershy, Twilight, and Casey in the Turtle Racer. Rarity, Keno, and Blade Swipe in the Patrol Buggies. The Dazzlings in their key cars. Rainbow and Sunset in their motorcycles. And the Turtles in the Shellraiser with Carter sitting on top of the said vehicle.

“You sure you don't need a parachute, Carter?” April asked.

“Nah, April, I'm good,” Carter assured. “Raph and Aria got me this awesome flight suit!” He showed that he was wearing a familiar winged pack.

Leo questioned, “Is that Ms Nowhere's flight suit?”

“We borrowed it,” Raph said, casually.

“By borrowed, he means they stole it!” Nowhere shouted over the com.

“Well, you tricked us and left Gary locked in that container,” Aria noted. “So we're even.”

Sonata was playing a game on her phone. Cisco breathed heavily, “You said Dom has done this before?! And lived?!”

Keno stated, “It does sound a little farfetched.”

“Are you sure this is safe, Tony?” Fluttershy asked.

“Hey, at least you’re all driving your own cars and not some stupid van.” Tony said, sitting alongside Gabby.

Echo gasped, “Stupid? We worked really hard on that new paint job.”

“You should be thankful that Echo, Sunset, and I are giving your van a tune-up.” Gabby reminded him, feeling a bit upset.

Tony sighed, “You’re right. I'm sorry. And thank you, prima.”

“Hey Rarity, are you freaking out right now?” Mikey asked her.

“Umm… no. That's preposterous, darling.” Rarity nervously chuckled. She thought to herself, ‘This is SO going to ruin my hair now.’

Echo chimed in, “Listen Rarity, it takes a grown woman to embrace her feelings. If you need to cry, just go ahead and cry,” While her friends giggled, Echo trolled Rarity as she continued, “As your friend, you know I'm concerned of your well-being. Which is why my friends and I took the precaution to put some extra cushions in your heart department.”

Much to her annoyance, Rarity insisted as Echo laughed, “Hey! Will you just chill out, darling?”

Donnie informed everyone, “Guys, we're almost to the key car. Opening door now.”

Leo alerted everyone, “Alright passengers, hold on tight!”

Blade Swipe and a few others held on Carter got ready as the ramp door opened.

“Hey Rarity, you need some fresh air? Because you’re about to get a whole lot of it.” Rainbow informed her scaredy friend.

“Here we go!” Frostee signaled.

One by one, the Ninjas’ and Crew’s vehicles exited out of the plane and fell into the skies… except Rarity.

“Oh yeah! Whoo!” Echo cheered. “Woo!”

Some of the Crew and Allies screamed for dear life as Cisco yelped, “I don’t like this! I don’t like this!”

Carter jumped out and flew around, shouting in wonder, “Woo hoo hoo, this is awesome!”

Tony asked over the com-link, “Yo, did everyone make it out?”

“Um, I think we're missing one,” Pinkie answered. “Let me cheer Rarity up.”

Back on the plane, Rarity was feeling nervous as the angel and devil of her consciousness appeared on each shoulder.

“Your friends need your help. You can't abandon them.” Angel Rarity advised her.

However, Devil Rarity told her, “ARE YOU INSANE?! That drop could mess up your hair and kill you.”

Then, Pinkie greeted Rarity over her walkie-talkie, “Hey Rarity! Talk to me. What's the problem?”

“I can't do it.” Rarity answered, feeling that she let her friends down.

“Of course you can, silly!” Pinkie cheered. “Don't let your fears get in your way.”

“But my hair…”

Echo interrupted her over the com-link, “Forget your hair, Rarity! Just get your dune buggy over here and help us!”

“I’m sorry, but I can't. Just listen to me.”

“Now is not the time, chica.” Gabby said.

“I'll stay here until this plane lands. After that, we’ll circle around the tattooed man and corner him.”

Echo informed her over the com-link, “We're running out of time! The chute is guided by GPS! You don't have to do anything!”

“Mikey!” Leo called.

“I'm on it!” Mikey replied.

As the cars were reaching towards the desert, Rarity apologized to everyone, “Look darlings, listen, I'm sorry to let you all down. Okay? Imma go ahead and stay up here.”

Pinkie apologized, “We know, Rarity. And I'm sorry that we let you down.”

“What?”

After the conversation, Sonata, Mikey, Pinkie, and Casey smiled and pressed a button from their walkie-talkies and two parachutes with Mikey and Pinkie’s face on it was activated behind Rarity’s Patrol Buggy.

“What do you mean by--” Rarity was abruptly getting pulled by the wind from the parachute.

Rarity screamed as her Patrol Buggy fell down from the plane. As for everyone else, they all activated their parachutes as they reached below one thousand feet and landed safely on the ground.

Echo cheered, “Aww yeah! Whoo!” She then looked at the design of Tony’s van on her left. “Van life, dawg.”

Still chasing the key car, Angel saw the other land and turned on the com, “What took you guys so long?”

Tony smiled until he informed everyone, “We've only got 10 miles to get to the border.”

The tattooed man noticed them and accelerated his car to lose them.

“That car's too fast.” Echo stated.

“Adagio, you and your sisters are with me. Blade and Raph, I need you in here.” Tony informed his comrades.

Raph and Blade Swipe managed to get into Tony’s van. Tony shouted, “Hang on!”

Frostee informed Carter, “Carter, you're our eyes in the sky. Where is the tattoo man heading right now?”

Carter observed with some spy goggles from the sky and saw a rally filled with people and vans. He answered over the com-link. “He's heading for a large gathering up ahead.”

Spike suggested over the com-link, “That must be the van rally.”

Tony activated the boosters from the back of the van. “Here comes the sun.”

Wanting to help, Angel looked around before she spotted the button for the rockets.

Caitlyn saw her reach for it and said, “Angel...” Angel hit the button and the car shot forward at super speed, as Caitlyn screamed, “Wooooooooo!!!”

Meanwhile, Rarity was still floating around the sky with her Patrol Buggy with the parachute on.

“Hello? Is anyone going to help me?!” Rarity asked.

Echo vowed, “Don’t worry, Rarity. We'll turn around and come back for you once we're done with the mission.”

Rarity growled, “You jokesters are going to pay for this! I swear!” Then, she thought of something and had an idea. She said, “You know what, screw this!” Rarity dropped out of the Patrol Buggy and transformed into her Crystal Guardian form. She summoned a diamond and flew off to catch up with her friends.

The Dazzlings pulled up on all sides of the red key car. The tattoo guy rammed into Aria only for Adagio bump him off, then he rammed her and Sonata rammed him next.

While the Dazzlings and the tattoo man were ramming each other, Tony and Caitlyn drove towards the key car and the Torreto fired a bolo at his tire. Then, while Caitlyn and Buffy were still screaming at the speed they were going, Angel grabbed the wheel and steered Mitch’s ride into the key car, making it crash. Still screaming, Caitlyn shut off the rockets and slammed on the brakes, stopping Mitch's car.

After a moment, Zach said, “Let's do that again!”

“NO!” Caitlyn and Buffy cried.

The tattoo dude tried to escape on foot, until he tackled from above by Carter.

“Get off of me,” he yelled, as they wrestled.

“Not a chance, dude!” Carter angrily replied, continuing to distract the tattoo guy. Angel left Mitch’s car and helped her brother subdue the tattoo man.

Tony drove up to him, opened the side door, and the Bridge siblings spin-kicked the tattoo guy in.

“Don't even think about escaping.” Raph said, arming himself with his sais while Blade Swipe drew his sword.

Tony stopped the van and smiled until he noticed the crowd in the van rally. They were all silent at the moment until they began cheering.

The van dude went up to Tony and congratulated him. “Way to go Tony! Yeah! Van life, bro! You’re livin' it! Van life!”

The rest of the Ninjas and Crew pulled up to the van rally, the Turtles in their cloaked human disguises, and saw everyone chanting “Van Life”, including Tony.

“Yo! This is so cool!” Casey complimented.

While they watched, Rarity arrived at the rally and she was fuming with anger, staring daggers at the pranksters.

Keno informed his friends, “Uh-oh, Rarity's here. Run!”

The pranksters ran away as Rarity started chasing after them. Mikey pleaded, “Leo, help!”

Later at sunset, the Ninjas, Crew, and Allies were back at the Crew’s Hideout and they were having a meeting with Ms. Nowhere to hold her end of the deal.

Tony told her, “We got your guy, now tell us everything about this investigation.”

Ms. Nowhere explained, “Fine. A new weapon recently got smuggled into Rio. We're still trying to figure out what it is, but rumor has it, it's so powerful it could throw the entire world into chaos.”

Echo commented, “Okay, vague but frightening...”

Ms. Nowhere continued, “We've been working with Interpol for months gathering intel. We were hoping this guy would shed some light on the situation.”

Aria asked while eating her nachos, “And the formula?”

Ms. Nowhere admitted, “We didn’t know about it until you told us.”

“Haha! I knew it!” Tony said, pointing his finger at her.

“We knew it, primo.” Gabby corrected him, lowering his arm down before sitting back on the couch.

“Sorry, but we knew it.” Tony apologized. “Ms. Nowhere, we figured out the tattoo was a formula and we caught this guy. Twice.”

Sunset suggested, “I say that we should be the ones to go to Rio and do this investigation. We're ready.”

Leo added, “And as Gabby mentioned before we have plenty of muscle, brainpower, and skills.”

Ms. Nowhere sighed, “The reason I didn't want any of you to go was because the undercover agent I previously embedded in Rio... was Layla Gray.”

Everyone gasped, shocking the Crew and Ninjas while Cisco and Aria resumed eating nachos.

Gabby and Tony were the most shocked. “Me amiga?” Gabby said.

Sometime ago in Rio…

Ms. Nowhere narrated, “I tracked her down and recruited her myself. Her criminal past was the perfect cover. But now, she's gone dark.”

Layla carjacked an armored truck and stole a briefcase before heading back to her car. After that, she blew up the back of the truck to cover her tracks and leave the crime scene.

“I don't know if she's blown her cover, turned bad, or worse.”

The next thing anybody knew, Gabby angrily grabbed Ms Nowhere and held a sword at her neck.

“Whoa!” Keno said.

April commented, “Well that was fast.”

Casey asked, “Where'd she get that sword?”

Blade Swipe checked his sheath and discovered it was his sword. “I believe that's mine.”

Gabby angrily questioned her, “La bruja! How could you leave her behind in Rio?!”

“Hold on, Gabby,” Tony put his hand on her shoulder. “Layla is family. If she got into trouble down there, then we're gonna find her and get her out.”

Ms. Nowhere calmly moved the sword away from her neck and pried Gabby's hand off her. “This is why I didn't want to tell you. I knew nothing would stop you guys from trying to get her back.” After telling them the truth, Ms. Nowhere realized something from the teens. “But maybe that's just what we need… Pack your bags and slap on the bug repellent, you're going to Brazil.”

“What?” Caitlyn asked in disbelief.

Zach on the other hand was excited, “Awesome!”

The teens celebrated until Buffy entered the hideout.

“Well, I'm totally ready for Rio!” Came Buffy’s voice. The Ninjas, Crew, and Allies turned to see Buffy walk in dressed as if she were going on vacation. She wore a raspberry sun dress decorated in pink flowers, light grey shorts, and sandals. She also had on sunglasses and sun hat.

Everyone stared at her, some giving her flat looks, as Tony asked, “Uh, Buffy, why are you dressed like that?”

“Well, if we're going to Rio, I might as well dress for the occasion,” Buffy explained.

“Seriously?” Raph grumbled.

“She does know this is a serious mission, right?” Echo muttered to Angel.

“Not sure.” Angel replied.

“Well I whole heartedly agree,” Rarity walked in, dressed in her cruise outfit.

“Really, Rarity?” Applejack questioned. “You too?”

“I will not be shamed for wanting to look the part!” Rarity huffed.

"Plus, this way, no one will know we're undercover," Buffy winked.

“She's got a point there,” Frostee admitted.

Tony cheered, “But still, we're going to Brazil!”

Everyone resumed celebrating and they’re all set for their next big adventure. Travel to Brazil and find Layla Gray.
