## Summary

"Loki and Gainsborough-Strifed" (Japanese title: The Ultimate Climax has Come! Uka-Uka's Group's Upgrades) is Season 1's sixth and final episode, and the sixth episode of the series "Teenage Mutant Ninja Mobians (1987)."

## Plot

The episode opens with our heroes, the next morning, watching a news report involving the events from yesterday and the few days before where witnesses spotted the "Colorful menace." Livid that the people are taking the TMNM and their mutant allies for granted, our heroes decide to have Elise Oriana III and Tai Kamiya's groups get a story to show the world that the TMNM and their allies are heroes alongside Christopher Aonuma's group. After giving the Mobiancoms to Elise and Tai's groups as they leave to get a story, our heroes soon see on the TV set Loki's group leaving them a message that they have an Anti-Mutagen Gun that'll restore a human-turned mutant back to his or her human form and dares them to come and get it. After that's over, Cloud Strife and Aerith Gainsborough resolve to go get the Anti-Mutagen Gun themselves, believing that it's a trap. Once up on the streets, our heroes attempt to fly in the Star Cruiser to the Jotundrome, but it dies down due to it being low on plutonium. Miles "Tails" Prower, Cosmo the Seedrian, Silver the Hedgehog, Blaze the Cat, and E-123 Omega then leave for Jack Lambert’s workshop to make a new vehicle for them. Then the henchmen appear and ambush our heroes, but our heroes manage to wear them down during the fight and then trap the henchmen in a pile of cement from a cement-mixing truck. In the Jotundrome, Uka-Uka's group show Loki's group the henchmen's defeat on the monitor screen and then Loki's group gives Uka-Uka's group their completed upgrades finally; Uka-Uka's body made from a potion made of oil, grime, and poison sludge, the Phantom Ruby and mask for Infinite, a crystal winged brooch for Mephiles the Dark to revert him back to his true form, the Pendant of Flight for Demidevimon to help him fly again, an extra strength potion for Nitros Oxide, a gold potion-making charm for Dr. Nitros Brio, a silver rocket charm for Dr. Nitros Gin's brain, and the Pendant of Time for Dr. Nefarious Tropy. Then as Uka-Uka's group power up from their upgrades, Loki's group soon notice our heroes arriving to infiltrate the Jotundrome. Then some Gauntlet Soldiers appear and begin to ambush our heroes outside the Jotundrome.

But thankfully, our heroes manage to subdue the Gauntlet Soldiers after fighting them by spilling sewage from a broken pipe on them, washing them away. At the Channel Six building, Elise and Tai's groups try to convince J. Jonah Jamieson to give them a story involving the TMNM and their allies, but he refused, until they trick him through a threat with the Mobiancom and Spike and the Digimon that they'll destroy the building with them, changing his mind. Back at the Jotundrome, Uka-Uka's group's disorientated behavior vanished and upon seeing their new and improved selves, proceed to go summon their army from Dimension X. At the back of the Channel Six building, Elise and Tai's groups were able to get Seifer Almasy and some news crew members to take the Mobian Van to go get their story, regardless of Jamieson reneging his agreement to Elise and Tai's groups on the story just a moment ago. Back inside the Jotundrome, Cloud, Aerith, and Yuffie Kisaragi were about to get the Anti-Mutagen Gun upon finding it when Loki's group appear and they battle. Elsewhere, Uka-Uka's group was about to summon their army when our heroes arrive and intervene. Uka-Uka then becomes a giant by the Molecular Amplification Unit Loki's group gave him and he and his group attack our heroes outside the Jotundrome.

After Uka-Uka's group blast a hole on the underground ceiling, emerging onto the streets of the city, our heroes follow suit and battle them, but to no luck, our heroes couldn't stop Uka-Uka's group at first, when Tails, Cosmo, Blaze, Silver, and Omega returned with the new vehicle in the form of the X-Tornado 2.0. Then our heroes climb onboard to fight Uka-Uka's group. Then when Tails reveal that he believes that Uka-Uka's body is expanded by the unit in his body, he, Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Silver then enter Uka-Uka's group through his shoulder blade after Sonic, Shadow, and Silver become Super Sonic, Super Shadow, and Super Silver. Elise and Tai's groups, Seifer, and their news crew arrive and began catching the action on tape for the story. While Tails, Super Sonic, Super Shadow, and Super Silver find the unit in Uka-Uka's body and try destroying it, our heroes meanwhile continue fighting Uka-Uka's group, destroying N. Brio and Tropy's upgrades for good. But when Uka-Uka was about to crush them, Tails, Super Sonic, Super Shadow, and Super Silver manage to destroy the unit and escape Uka-Uka's body before Uka-Uka shrunk back down to normal size. Outnumbered by our heroes, Uka-Uka's group call Loki's group to them, resulting Loki's group to stop their battle with Cloud, Aerith, and Yuffie and trap them in a laser cage. But thankfully after Loki's group leave to help Uka-Uka's group, Yuffie uses her mini shuriken to destroy the device making the cage, freeing Cloud, Aerith, and herself. Then they go after Loki's group. At the streets, Loki's group and even the henchmen, who freed themselves from the cement, arrive and Myotismon then ties up the TMNM, Tiny Tiger, and Dingodile with his Crimson Lightning while Christopher's group is held back by the henchmen. Then Loki was about to shoot the Anti-Mutagen Gun at the TMNM, Tiny, and Dingodile when Cloud, Aerith, and Yuffie arrive and rescue our heroes by destroying the Anti-Mutagen Gun, cutting the TMNM, Tiny, and Dingodile free, and knocking the henchmen away from Christopher's group. Then the villains escape down to the Jotundrome, causing our heroes to go after them. In the Jotundrome, Uka-Uka's group open the portal for their army to come through. But just when they enter the Jotundrome through the portal, our heroes manage to distract them through a battle while Tails reversed the flow of the portal by flipping the device's chips. Our heroes manage to escape, but the villains and even the Jotundrome were sucked through the portal into Dimension X. After Sonic, Shadow, and Silver change back to normal, our heroes head back to the surface to celebrate their victory, all the while agreeing to let Tiny and Dingodile live with them in the sewer lair. Once up at the streets, Elise and Christopher's groups kiss finally and agree to go on their first date. In Dimension X, Uka-Uka's group decide to try and conquer it, regardless of their banishment, much to Loki's group's chagrin. Back in New York City, Elise's group report that the TMNM and their allies are revealed to be heroes, although the people are divided by two different opinions on them. Then our heroes proceed to watch TV after the news while Elise and Christopher's groups go on their first date after the story is wrapped.
