Chapter 29 - 30

Alternative Ending

The young ones keep heading back to the lair, but Hana can't avoid feel curious about why Tig always avoid talk about his family.

Hana: soo. tell me Tig, why you didn't never talked before about your sister?

Tig: Because I thought you would not be interested in knowing about the one that almost killed your father.

Hana: Well it's true but- you are my friend and everything that concerns you, it matters to me.

Tig: well then, what would you like to know about her?

Hana: anything would be fine

Tig: her name was Yena

Hana: oh and how is she?

Tig: .death..

Hana: ... what happened?

Tig: TigerClaw killed her.

Hana: why?

Tig: I don't know..

Hana stay in silence for a too long time causing an uncomfortable moment between them.

Soon a tiny creature got into their way "what's that thing? It looks like-" "Awww it's the most cutest thing ever!" Hana say as she knee to pet the reptile "better be careful Hana, we don't know if it's dangerous" "but, how could be? It's way too cute!" Tig remain on complet silence at Hana's comment "Aw look his little foot it's hurt. Maybe we should take it at the lair, how do you think Tig?" "Yeah.. why not... It's not like it'll eat your heart on the middle of the night.." "your sarcasm will not convince me not to do it" Hana reply while the little creature stares into Tig's eyes, Hana hugs it and keep her track back to the lair. It is more than clear that creature it's not a normal lizard at all but Hana likes it too much so Tig just sighs and follow her with out complaining any more.

Meanwhile, TigerClaw is meditating and trying to fix his priorities for the foot clan but soon the flash backs came to him, the night he was forced to kill his own daughter. Does memories keep coming and torturing his mind, why did have to happen? TigerClaw sighs sadly and remembers with much affection but sadness to his little babe; the expression of his little girl when for the first time received a present (her sword) nothing compared on the day she died.

Soon Sumiko enter to TigerClaw's place "TigerClaw, I need a favor. Today, Takumi is not available to give the foot students the class and I'll have a mission tonight, could you give the lesson today?" "Of course Sumiko" the old tiger reply as he stand up.

Back on subway train tracks, the constant look of the creature at Tig begins to bothers him, he try to ignore it but it seems the creature caught him. Soon Hana stop walking when she realized something it's bothering Tig's ears "Tig?" She wonder but he only hear whispers, Tig stop and look at Hana asking "did you say something, Hana?" Tig's ears move, trying to hear what Hana say after but he only see her lips move. The lizard keeps looking straight into his eyes making his vision begins to blurry "Tig, answer my question, are you okay?" Hana repeat but it's useless.

Tig's vision clouded completely and he began muttering in Japanese while he is standing as a statue. Hana was somewhat worried, but she noticed when the little reptile grabbed her cristal and hopped out of her arms "Hey! Get back here with that!" Hana order but the little bastard swallow the cristal, Hana try to stop him but Tig get on her way "Tig move! I need to-!" "No, you won't!" Tig disrupt her as he get his sword "The crystal now belongs to the Herd!" The reptile informed her through Tig, Hana walks backward as she realizes that her friend is being controlled like a puppet by that tiny reptile "Tig don't, please.. fight it!" the little dragon makes a sound like an evil mocking laugh "don't waist your last words kid"

Back on the lair:
"I can not believe in such disappointing behavior of you all! You are the next generation of heros and the future of this city will one day depend on you. You have to learn to get along by resolving your differences passively!" Leo continues to give his long speech to the young teams. All teens look upset at Yoshiro because they think it's his fault that they now have to endure the scolding. "We should punish you all" the adults agree with Leo. "What?!" "No!" "Why?!" "It's totally unfair!!" "Not our fault!" "Yoshiro started first!" The teens complain, Siri is so upset with her son Kal'El that she did not notice the absence of Tig until April asked about her daughter Hana.

April: did anyone see Kohana?

Irrilia: she went after Tig

April: I better call her *call but she doesn't answer*

In the rooftops, Hana evade the sword of Tig, who is trying to kill her "Tig please listen! I'm Hana" the little dragon continues makes him attack "My mistress, Mari will be happy when I bring her your head to her" "Tig Please! I. I don't want to hurt you!" She says without avoiding feel frightened to see the complete indifference in Tig; It is as if he hadn't any kind of control over himself.

Not too far away it's TigerClaw giving the lesson of the night to the foot students "as a foot ninja one of the most important thing is-!" The class got disrupted when they see from a far distance Hana being attack by Tig.

Eric: WOOHOO, Tig turn back against the Hamato clan!

Dolly: wonder what happened

Violet: ...

Hana continues to move out of range of the sword as she tries to wake Tig from the trance but it is useless, soon the point of the sword injured Hana's arm, turning her upset "Agh, ENOUGH!!" she screams, throwing a mental wave to him but nothing happen "nice try but without your toy, your powers are useless against me or my Mari!" Hana stand back and try to run but when she least noticed Tig jumps on her as if she was the prey of the tiger "AAAAH help!" Hana scream trying to get free but Tig keep her against the roof "you know" he whispered "I will really like to know how a human turtle tastes, maybe a little salty?" He malevolently grins at Hana showing his sharp fangs to scare her even more.

Hana close her eyes waiting for the worse but soon the flash of Yena trying to kill her mother come back to TigerClaw's mind making him get Tig off Hana, the foot students are amazed to see TigerClaw hold his son by the neck giving him a hard time to speak "what do we have here? I think we have a dilemma, TigerClaw. Are you really willing to kill your own cub left?" the dragon asks him through Tig "Leave my son demon, I do not owe you anything!" "Aah that my friend, it's not quite true.." Hana get up and see TigerClaw holding up his son "what is happening to him?" She ask "He is being manipulated by one of Mari's dragons" TigerClaw replied when he saw that in the shadows is hiding the little reptile that is controlling Tig's mind, he get his lazer gun and shoot the creature; killing it. Soon Tig begins to wake, TigerClaw put him down "what.. what happened..?" Tig ask dizzy and totally confused, Hana run at his side when he collapse unconscious to the ground..

Hana: I can't believe that actually works!

TigerClaw: Me neither

Hana: ..... this is what happened to Yena isn't it? That's why you kill her, am I right?

TigerClaw: It was different, the creature that controlled Tig only manipulated his mind and it was weaker compared to the one that possessed Yena.

Hana: why didn't you tell him the true?

TigerClaw: I was protecting him.

Hana had more questions but for good, TigerClaw walks away with his students before Siri and Hana's parents arrived the place. "Hana, My beautiful Sunflower! Are you okay?" Donnie ask when see her wound and Tig is knocked out.

Siri: what happened here?

Hana: long story but first I need to recover my cristal!

April: where is it?

Hana: inside of that creature *point at the death little dragon*

Donnie: should I ask?

Hana: I'd rather talk about it when we get home.

Time later, back to the lair:

The old teams are in an important mission while Donnie, April and Siri stay to investigate what happened to their kids. Hana keeps telling them what she saw as April fix her wound and Donnie do a motorway, dissecting the lizard. "maybe I should do some test on him later" Donnie say as he put the body of the dead creature in a container celling it and froze it to stop the decomposition process "here Hana I already got your cristal" he say handing it to her.

Hana: Eeew!

Donnie: I already wash it Hana, don't exaggerate.

Hana: how many times?

April: Hana... *waring*

Hana: okay., okay. *get the cristal back*

Siri: why this creature was able to control Tig's mind when neither Rockwell or April couldn't even read it?

Hana: that creature said before that my telepathy and telekinesis powers do not work against him unless I use the crystal.

April: that don't even make sense, the cristal only increase your powers; Nothing more.

Donnie: hmm *thinking* not really. You see the cristal belongs to the Aeons dimension so probably-?

"Agh..." Tig disrupt them when he wakeup completly dizzy "where? where am I?" he looks around as he is trying to get off the lab table "Tig, I'm glad you are awake!" Hana say as she tackles him with a hug, confused Tig look at Hana "How did we get back to the lair?" "My dad helped me bring you here after you fainted-" "I what?" "Yeah! That creature was more dangerous than we thought and your father-" "my Father! Did he hurt you!?" He ask alarmed "no Tig, he didn't! He-" Hana pause for a brief moment and ask "You actually don't remember anything, do you?" "All I remember is that we were walking back to the lair" concerned Hana turns to see her father, waiting for his opinion "Hana, you said he did not seem to be aware of what was happening; it makes sense that he does not remember anything" Donnie answer at Hana's worries "Am I supposed to remember something?" Tig wonder a little confused "Tig.. you-" "No! nothing Tig.. Would you mind if you let us talk privately?" Siri say disrupting Hana. Tig can't avoid having suspicions but he nod and walks out of the laboratory.

In the living room, Tig see the other tennagers, ones are upset while others frustrated, the tension is felt even in the air "Kal'El, what happened?" Tig ask as he arrives at his side "Nothing Tig, we just had a discussion" Kal'El answer a little piss off, Tig give him a confused look and ask "about?" "Yoshiro, insult my team for-" " no I just called you idiot for naively believe in the enemy!" Yoshiro repeat causing another confrontation between them "Great now they are going to fight again and then when the adults arrived they will blame us all And! we will get another week of punishment! Many thank you, Tig for asking!!" Remy grunts annoyed. "Leave him alone, Remy. It's not his fault that Yoshiro is looking for trouble!" Irrilia ground her cousin "You are not my mom, you can't talk me like that!" "Of course I can! and I'LL!" "Well then, I don't have to listen to you!" Tig stays silent while see that not only Remy and Irrilia fight but Kal'El and Yoshiro also continue to argue. Soon Chompy get on the discussion too and it does not take long for the punches to begin "Guys, I do not think-" Tig gasp when see a cup fly to his direction, he dodges it but unfortunately things do not end there, soon Kal jumps over Yoshiro and the act is matched by Yoshiro, Chompy tries to stop them while Remy encourages them to continue fighting, Irrilia becomes angry with everyone and shouts at them annoyingly trying to put an end to the fight. Worried, Tig realizes that at his side are the Jones twins watching the show too and betting for the best fighter "I bet you five bucks to which Kal'El wins" "I bet ten to Yoshiro" "okay ten will be" the madness in the sewer continues. 

Meanwhile, Siri is doing a meeting in the laboratory, walking with Hana and her parents "Don't tell anything to Tig. At least not for the moment, I first need to know if there is a way we can protect his mind or if there is a cure.." Siri say worry "I know you are trying to protect him but-?" Hana got disrupted by her mother "Hana obey, and I don't want to see you near him either!" April orders Hana with her authoritarian voice "What!?" Hana reply "Why Not, April?" Siri ask a little piss "Do not take it badly Siri but since I can't get in his mind plus what he did to my daughter; I can't totally trust him" Donnie is about to correct his wife's attitude when Siri replies insulted "You have no right to judge my children!" "I'm just telling the truth, you can't totally trust him! What if he tries to hurt Kal'El or Chompy JUST like he tried to do with MY Kohana! I will Not Take The Same Risk As YOU!" the angry mothers begin to argue "Hana get out of here now" Donnie order her as he try to stop the furious females "but-?" Hana try to complain but Donnie give her the look, she sighs and walks to the door while annoyed repeat through teeth Donnie's orders to herself.

In the other side of the door, Tig was about to knock when Hana open the door "Tig!"  She quickly closing the door behind her "hey, what's the matter? What do you need?" Tig quickly detects nervousness in Hana's voice, soon he hears the voice of Siri and April argue "What it's going on in there?" Tig asks as he passed Hana's side to open the door. Hana tries to find a way to stop him and soon she did, Tig stop and turns to see Hana who is holding his tail "But what? What are you doing, Kohana?" Tig asks a little annoyed and confused, Hana giggles embarrassed and say "I? Was? Wondering how you do it to have a so fluffy tail!?" Tig get his tail back with him getting it out of Hana's hands and reply "I just do not let anyone touch it..." Seeing Tig's ears bend back, Hana notices that Tig really got upset and felt assaulted when she caught his tail. "Ah, sorry I didn't mean to make you feel upset" Hana try to apologise "Never mind, just do not do it again." Tig reply and goes back to the laboratory door "don't!" Hana get on his way "they are busy, and they don't want to de disrupted!" "But it's important, Yoshiro and Kal'El are fighting.." "they what!?" she run at the living and he follow her.

Hana and Tig arrived at Irrilia's side "Irrilia what happened?!" "Don't worry Hana everything it's okay now" the three turn at the other tennagers. It seems Irrilia is right, Kal'El and Yoshiro are laughing together in the floor. The girls roll their eyes as they see the boys begin to act like boys do, Kal and Chompy take turns to give Yoshiro a punch in his shoulder and he do the same with them. They smiles, it seems they all are happy but soon Chompy notes the confucion on Tig "what's the matter Tig?" Messing around, Lima nudged Luke's stomach, still playing Luke catches Lima and flutters his hair  "why are you guys are enjoying to hurting each other?" Tig wonder with such curiosity. "I don't know it's our way to say we are all okay" "that's what friends do after a fight" Kal'El say getting into the conversation. "Wanna give a try kitty cat?" Yoshiro ask suggesting he can hit him "don't be shy we are all just playing" Tig look at Kal'El and Chompy for a moment, they nod. Then Tig turn his eyes back with Yoshiro "are you sure about this? I actually don't want too..." "Don't worry, I'll not going to get mad or try to begin a fight. It's just for fun and I'm sure you will feel way more better after do it. we are all friends now, aren't we?" Tig nod "well then punch me!" still having his doubts Tig just says ".okay." and hits him right in the face, not too hard but enough to make Yoshiro hold his nose and not avoiding to remember how much he hates that feline "Wow you were right, I feel better" Tig say ignoring Yoshiro's pain, Chompy is trying to hold his laughs while Kal'El just shake his head into disagreement "You didn't supposed to hit me on the face!" Yoshiro growl "it's your fault anyways Yoshiro, he told you he didn't want to do it and you insist plus! you didn't explain him where he could hit you" Hana ground him. Tig feels more confused "don't worry Tig I'll explain you later.." Kal'El say when Siri go out from the lab and upset inform the young Mighty it's time to go to their home, Hana's parents walks in the living room and judging by their expressions it can be said that things were not solved.

Once TigerClaw leaves the students in the camp, he leaves to do his part of the mission tonight. Xever enters the dojo to interrogate the foot students (Violet, Eric and Dolly) "you three will tell me all that you know about TigerClaw's son" Dolly and Erick can't avoid give a worry look at Violent's expressionless look.

*past*

Miko is checking the little cubs "TigerClaw all I can tell you is that the spell only affected them in their immunity system, they are immune to certain specific things. I recommend that you use it in your favor, train them well and maybe they'll turn into the best bounty hunters, assassins that had ever existed" put down the little Tig and pick up baby Yena "hmm..... I guess I know why this girl Mari chose your cubs, it seems they have a dual purpose or use for her, probably like disposable tools for her" Ariel gives Miko a confused look, Miko keeps explaining "Usually every twin always have some kind of connection to each other and as I see your cubs connection it's too strong, their souls are almost linked. And that also means bad news, because together their souls are capable of sustaining a great energy or power within them" Miko put little Yena at her brother's side, on the ground "It was a great fortune that you could stop the spell just in the right moment. Otherwise, they would be too dangerous not only alive but also dead... if you put their souls in an object(s) together in a talisman., the results will be.. The question now is, why did Mari grant them immunity and against what great force did she attempt or attempted to get contained inside your cubs?" Miko ends his final conclusion by worrying even more the first-time mother.

Miko: I hope the information given will be very useful

TigerClaw: it will..

Miko: remember TigerClaw, Your puppies can be develop very strong and all you have to do is put them in great tests, under extreme circumstances so you get Great Results!"

The young mother didn't like hear what this panther said about her cubs so she growl upset "TigerClaw! Get That assh-!" Ariel was shut up by TigerClaw's hand "thank you my friend, I'll keep on mind everything" TigerClaw says, saying goodbye to his friend Miko. "Well then... But-! if you don't mind I would like suggest you something more" Miko say with a big smile, still having on mind all the benefits of TigerClaw's offspring.

*present*

Hana's parents are in the lab arguing about the best way to keep their daughter safe. "April, I can not cell her in an air bubble! You have to understand that she is a teenager! She have that need to hangout with her friends!" Donnie repeat it for the thousandth time "I know, She can hang out with her friends except with TigerClaw's son or at least not by now!" April repeats her argument while both ignore that through the eyes of the dead dragon is watching them Marí, she machiavellian laughs "don't worry my beautiful dragon, I'll soon wake you up, and when that happens I will say hi to my old friends the Turtles! WAHAHAHAHA!"  

Meanwhile,  Siri continues leading the young Mighty as she continues mumbling annoyed about April's decision against her aboptive son and in addition she dared to question Siri's way of raising Her Own SON! "Kal, what's wrong with your mom? I never seen her so upset" Chompy asks him but neither does Kal'El know what goes through her mind.

Tig walks a little faster to catch up Siri and walking at her side he ask worry "What is going on?" Siri stops and turns to see the boy, she can not help but smile after seeing that kitten face with does cute heterochromia eyes, it's so hard for her imagen Tig the way Hana  descriptive​ how he was under the control of that creature "Do not worry, my children. they are just adult issues" "We are not babies!" Chompy complain "we are almost adults!" Kal'El recall trying to sound like an adult but that only made Siri think that her children are very tender and answer "Aww Kal'El you're so cute when you try to be like your father!" Kal'El frown after she pets his head.

Soon Chompy realized that they were being followed by someone "who is there?" He ask to the shadows, calling Siri's and Kal'El 's attention on it. Siri get her weapon ready to fight for her kids "it's Remy" Tig let them know sience he is available to see him thanks to his night vision. "Remy?" Everyone wonder as he walks out of the shadows complaining "Wow, thanks for giving me away, Tig!" "no problem" Tig say smiling at him.

Siri: But Remy, why are you following us?

Remy: I got tier of being the only male on the lair... I just need a break!

Kal'El: but there were Luke, Lima and Yoshiro too

Remy: I hate Yoshiro and the twin Jones don't stop flirting with my c- they are boring! *zip mouth*

Siri: okay then come with us but you'll call your mom as soon as we arrived at our lair, deal?

Remy: okay.. I'll call her..

Ones in the warehouse,​ Siri is calling Liz instead of Remy doing it.

Liz: hello?

Siri: Liz, it's me Siri. Your boy came to our lair to visit us, it is okay for you?

Liz: ahg that boy.. don't worry Siri I'll pick him up in a moment

Siri: we don't mind if he wants to stay here for the night but I just wanted to make sure you knew where he is.

Liz: okay Siri 

Siri continues to talk to her friend while Remy is with the young Mighty in the living room "check out this!" Remy tell them excited as he get out from his backpack his new toy "oh nice toy" "It's not a toy, Kal'El! It is a-" Remy was trying to explain when gets disrupted by Chompy "yeah, it's not a toy... Is A DOLL! Ahahaha!" Chompy mocks Remy's toy making him turns red of mad, Kal'El give a look at Chompy forcing him quit with the laugh. "IT'S NOT A DOLL, It's An Action Figure! And they are collectibles" Remy answer a little disappointed, Tig watches with curiosity the toy of Remy "Can you share it with me?" Tig ask since he never had one, Remy nod and lends it to Tig "just be careful with it, it's especial edition." Tig nods as he check out the action figure.
