Next Gen Episode 13: Remy's Escape

Remy's Escape is the 13th episode of TMNT X Pokemon: Next Gen.

Jinx: I know! The underground gets extremely cold this time of year.

Froakie: And how much longer is the MRS HQ?

William: Just a few more hours. I'm sorry about this. I didn't expect us to go for three whole days. Matt, we should head to Green Zone for some warmth.

Matthew: Green Zone, got it! (turns the van around) Hold on tight!

Remy: (holding Katy by the arm) Already am!

Katy: Eh? Get off of me, squirt! I'm not a lamp or anything!

Jinx: This is gonna be a long one.

William: Right.

Froakie: So what is the Green Zone anyways?!

William: It's one of the areas in the underground. An army of Sceptile are usually guarding that area. However, that place is one of the areas own by the Mutant Hunters. It'll be hard to convince them that we're the Mutant Hunters.

Remy: Really?! What about the others?

Jinx: That place where Hope is one of our territory. Some of ours while the others are own by the Mutant Hunters! So that's why William made these passports so we can gain access to any area own by the hunters.

Remy: That's genius! So my job is to pretend to be a captured Mutant. That's easy!

Katy: (ties him up) That should make it more realistic. And you better keep your mouth shut before I rip it from your face. You got that?

Froakie: Yes ma'am!

Feraligatr: Good to hear.

Remy: (thinking) She's one scary chick. I can't believe she's even from a wealthy family. (sighs) She's definitely a wild child.

### Meanwhile

Hana: This is the address for Uncle An-D and Aunt Sammy eh?

Irrilia: They live at the 5th floor, Apartment #546. That's gonna be a long way up.

Hana: So?! We should just run up the stairs!

Charmander: All the way to the 5th floor?! Are you nuts?!

Hana: Yes I am! Let's go! (trips) I'm okay!

Irrilia: (sighs) Let's just get this over with.

### Underground

#### Green Zone

Katy: Remember, you're a mutant that we have "captured" and now being taken to the Green Zone. Then I'm gonna buy you as my "butler" thanks to my wealthy background. You understand the plan or do I have to repeat myself?

Remy: We got it perfectly clear, Kat! But what if it doesn't work.

Feraligatr: We go into Plan B. We'll show you later. For now, we have to get in and then buy you out along with the other Mutants that have been captured.

Remy: Right. (thinking) Please make it work. Please make it work. I don't want to be in this place anymore.

Sceptile: Halt! Who goes there?!

William: We have a Mutant that we captured! Here's my ID.

Sceptile 2: I can see that. You say you have a Mutant?

Katy: This little punk right here! We want to put him in the cell then buy him along with some of the other Mutants you have in this zone!

Sceptile 3: Okay. But you must speak with the person here before purchasing any Mutants.

Katy: Understood!

William and Katy walk to the Green Zone while Jinx and Matthew stays in the van. Once inside, one of the Sceptile opens the cage and the two put Remy in it.

William: We'll be back shortly. Just hang on tight. (leaves)

Remy: Well, Froakie. I guess we have to play the waiting game.

Froakie: I hate playing the waiting game!

Remy: I know. But we don't have much of a choice.

Froakie: Right, Remy. But what should we do for the time being?

Remy: Talking to the Mutants who have been trapped here.

Froakie: At least we don't have to be bored out of our mind!

Remy: Exactly! Let's just talk to them and introduce ourselves!

[DING DONG]

Kagome opens the door.

Hana: Are you Kagome Lee?

Irrilia: We need your help on something really important.

Ava: Super duper important!

Mason: Super duper important?

Ava: Yes! You have to listen what we say!

Mason: Alright. Make it quick.

### Underground

#### Cell

Remy: Jeez... How much longer are they gonna take? It's been 2 hours. (sighs) I hope nothing bad happen to them... I just want to be at home with mom and dad and my cousins and my friends. Not in this cell where we have to play the waiting game. Please come to my rescue... Please?

Froakie: We should just escape ourselves.

Remy: And ruin the plan? No way, Froakie. It'll be too dangerous.

Froakie: We don't have much of a choice.

Remy: Hm... I don't know... This is part of the plan but they're taking too long.

Froakie: Well we need to escape somehow!

Remy: Let's see... How are we gonna escape though? That's gonna be a hard one.

Froakie: Think, Remy, think. What would Leo do in a situation like this?

Remy: Dad... (closes his eyes) Dad... Please tell me something... (starts glowing)

Froakie: Huh? Uh Remy?

### Lair

#### Common Area

Leo's wolf ears perked up and looked at the right.

Liz: Leo, is something wrong?

Leo: I don't know but I could sense something. (closes his eyes)

Remy (voice): I need you, dad. I'm so scared...

Leo: (thinking) Remy? Remy, where are you?!

Remy: Some kind of cell in the underground! Wait, you can hear me?

Leo: Yes I can. You're saying you're in some kind of cell?

Remy: Yeah! I don't know what to do! I'm so afraid, dad! I need you badly!

Leo: I know, son. We're gonna get you no matter what. Just stay tight.

Remy: But how?! Can you really find me to my current location?!

Leo: I'll try to. Please hold on, Remy. We'll rescue you.

Remy: Please hurry! (voice echoes) (gasps) I talked to my dad.

Froakie: Wha?!

Remy: I talked to him! In my mind! I must have telepathy!

Froakie: That *is* awesome!

Remy: Yeah! I never knew I'm psychic.

Froakie: Psychic? Nah... But it's still cool though.

Remy: Yup. But I still have to find a way to escape from this place.

Froakie: Maybe there's some kind of secret tunnel we can use or something like that.

Remy: A secret tunnel? Hm... That would be convenient. But there's no way there could be some kind of secret tunnel that would suddenly appear right in our doorstep.

Froakie: Or maybe it would. We should dig a tunnel and it could head us to the outside world. That way we can escape and get back to the Lair so we can see the others again.

Remy: That would be a great idea. But we need to do this in secret. We can't anybody see us digging a tunnel.

Froakie: I know that! You don't have to tell me twice.

Remy: Good. I don't want to get us caught. And we have to do this quickly. If we don't something bad could happen to us.

[GUNSHOT]

Froakie: Like that?!

Remy: Exactly. Was that a gunshot?

Froakie: Maybe. It sounds like it.

Remy: Crap. I hope they didn't get...

Feraligatr: Crunch! (destroys cell) Go go go! You're all free!

Froakie: Free?! Really?!

Feraligatr: This is Plan B! Escape from this horrible place now before it's too late!

Remy: Thanks, Feraligatr! (runs)

### Lair

#### Donnie's Lair

Donnie: Your shoulder seem to be healing faster then I expected.

Storm: So can I go now?

Espeon: Nope. You still have to rest.

Storm: But I'm fine! Watch me! (gets out of bed while grunting) See? I'm perfectly okay.

Rach: (clears her throat) Son, you listen to what he says and rest up.

Storm: Mom...

Rach: Back to bed or else.

Storm: Alright. (goes back to bed)

Rach: Good boy. He can be a stubborn one just like me.

Donnie: We can see the similarities.

#### Common Area

Hana: Looks like we have everyone.

Irrilia: (counting everyone) Yup, that should do it. (clears throat) Hello cousins and friends! We're so glad to have all of you here today!

Mason: Can we get this over with? I'm a very busy man and I have some modeling to do.

Charmander: This will be quick! (sees a hand raise) Yes...

Irrilia: The reason is Remy Gordan, our cousin, was kidnapped by a group of people! We can't do this by ourselves so that's why we need the gang here to help us!

Tamara: That's horrible...

Hana: It is. If we don't do something, Remy could be in serious danger or worse.

Treecko: So are you willing to help us or not?!

Ava: Of course we will!

Mason: Fine... But this is only because I want to go to that photo shoot.

Halimeda: Hold on! How are we gonna find him if we have no idea where he was taken to?!

Fawn: That would be hard to do considering that you don't know where he was taken to, Irrilia-san.

Irrilia: You're right. He gotta be out there somewhere... And hopefully safe and sound.

Charmander: Right...

Everyone: Maps?

### Underground

#### Red Zone

Koji: It didn't go as plan eh?

Katy: Yeah. But we were able to free the Mutants from the Green Zone.

Koji: You were lucky to get out alive. But how did you escaped without a scratch?

Feraligatr: We have our ways. Anyway, we should be careful. There could be more Mutant Hunters somewhere in the underground.

Jinx: That means we have to stay here until the coast is clear.

Remy: Great~... (puts his head down to his legs which are being wrapped by his arms) I just want to go back home and see everyone again. Isn't that so hard to ask for?

Koji: Don't worry, Rem. You're gonna get outta here so you can go home.

Remy: You think so?

Koji: I know so.

Froakie: Hope you're right.

### Next Day

Remy: Froakie, use Bubble on that dummy!

Froakie: Bubble!

Remy: Now let's try using Ice Beam!

Froakie: Ice Beam! (fails) Didn't work...

Remy: Let's give it another go! Use Ice Beam!

Froakie: Ice Beam! (fails again) Darn it!

Remy: One more time!

TJ: What are you doing, Remy?

Remy: Training. I'm teaching Kuriken how to use Ice Beam. We're still working on it.

Max: We can see that! You two are a really good team!

Jason: Why did you choose a Froakie as your Starter?

Remy: Because my dad has a Greninja and I want to have a Greninja too. So that's why I choose Froakie to be my partner. (To Kuriken) Use Ice Beam!

Froakie: Ice Beam! (fails) It's not working, Rem!

Remy: That's because you're not trying hard enough! (sighs) I can't wait for another day. I have to leave now.

TJ: But William says...

Remy: I don't care! I want to go home! I want to see everyone! I want to see my mom, my dad, my uncles and my cousins! I have to leave so I can see them again! I got to! No matter how risky it is!

Jason: We know how you feel. We want to leave here. But the MRS are doing everything they could to have our freedom back.

Remy: That's going on right now! Thanks to Mayor Paulina, every Mutant is living along with the humans! There's no need for the two species to be different! Mutants are going to school, going to work, having successful careers along with the humans! If you come with us, I know you would have a successful life as well.

Max: I'm in!

Jason: Me too.

TJ: Me three!

Remy: I knew you would agree to this.

Koji: Don't forget about us.

Froakie: Koji? Hope?

Koji: We overheard your little speech and we want to come with you. The underground could be a dangerous place. (takes out Pokeball) Remy, I found this on the ground when I was first being taken by the Mutant Hunters. (throws Pokeball)

Dragonite: Dragonite!

Remy: A Dragonite?! Could I really have it?!

Koji: Of course you can. Dragonite can be useful.

Remy: Sure would! And we should have all the Mutants here to help out too. Koji, are you able to call the MRS?

Koji: I can do that.

Remy: I have an idea.

Few hours later, the group comes and there was already a large group of Mutants.

Katy: What is this about?!

William: Not sure. (sees Koji) Koji, what's going on?!

Koji: You'll see.

Lady: Esme why did you bring us here? We all could be dead you know.

Remy widened his eyes at the sight of the woman lizard mutant, wow. he wondered if his mother would look like that at an elderly age. The thought made him smile and laugh a bit, luckily the crowds cries covered the laugh.

Esme: (slams the table) Thank you for the silence. Now I brought you all here today for something to fight for. Freedom!

Katy: Freedom?

Matthew: I see what's going on.

Man: Freedom? Bitch you know we wont get any--

Esme: If you don't fight then we won't!

Mutant: But if you fight we all will die.

Remy silently watched as the mutants kept finding stuff to yell out, excuses, cries, fears, anything. He saw Esme looking a bit more discouraged with each complaint, recalling her determined face back at the "river" he wasn't going to let these stupid mutants take that from her. He climbed up on the table, surprising Esme and the brothers in the process. He sucked in a breath before letting out his loudest yell, startling most of the mutants into silence again. Remy stopped his yell when he noticed their attention was on him.

Remy: (thinking) Darn it! Everyone is looking at me! What should I do?! What should I say?!

William: Everyone, I know this is hard for you to hear it! But we don't have much of a choice! As you know, my father is the one who's behind the Mutant hunting operations!

Remy: He's right!

Mutant 2: How would you know?! You're just a bratty kid!

Remy: I'm a bratty kid who knows how it feels! who knows how all you mutants feel! We all have one thing in common. We all were ripped away from our lives, our families! I know you guys are scared. I'm scared to. I'm terrified that my last moment with my mother was a stupid feud, or my last moment with my cousin was a stupid feud. In order to not let any of our last moments be really our last we gotta take action, we gotta have courage that we all have deep inside. Mutants, we need to take our freedom, our lives, our identities back!

Katy: And that's why the Mutant Rescuing Squad is form! We want to free each and every one of you! You are who you are! You're not some valuable trophies or money! You are all people who wants to have their freedom back! Listen to what Remy said! Cause we're gonna go war against every Mutant Hunter there is!

[CHEERING]

Cat Lady: You seem like a good boy.

Froakie: He is?

The cat lady nodded, holding out her hand to him. Remy slowly knelt down to her. Her eyes were golden brown, fur was light brown. She wore a kimono.

Cat Lady: You seem to be the leader type.

Remy: Thanks but I'm no leader. My cousin Irrilia is.

Cat Lady: Ah, but you are, you have the spirit of someone familiar to me. I can see it.

Remy: Who?

Cat Lady: In time you will find out soon, but now you are our leader, so get started.

Remy: (looks around) Okay. Now listen up, Mutants! If you want your freedom you have to fight for it! We must claim all of the zones that those hunters have! Then we'll go straight to the HQ where we take down the boss!

William: (nods) So if anyone want to object, say I.

[SILENCE]

Katy: Good. Now let's do this!

[CHEERING LOUDLY]

Jinx: That was a nice speech, Remy!

Meganium: You really keep everyone's spirit up!

Remy: Well I just say what I have to say. That's all.

Matthew: We'll make our move tonight. So be prepared to fight for freedom!

The day grew into night, slowly, today was only planning. Luckily he had Esme's help with that, without her he would of been totally screwed. That and Koji took over teaching the mutants how to fight with weapons. He should be happy right now, excited, he's gonna finally see his family. But that chilling sight of the woman in white got him on edge. Remy watched his extended family prepare their small portions of foods, they all sat in a circle. Dani sitting in his father's lap, and Hope serving the plates to everyone. Remy stuck his tongue out at the so called food in front of him.

Remy: Why does it smell like dirty gym socks?

TJ: Cause that's what they call food for us mutants.

Remy: I think I lost my appetite...

Max: Can I have it? (Remy gives it to him) Thanks! (starts eating)

Remy: (sighs)

Koji: You seem nervous.

Remy: I am. This is gonna be an epic battle and I'm the one leading it.

Koji: You worry too much. I know this would go smoothly. Just as plan.

Hope: (grabs his plate and put it in his head) And you seem to be overconfident about this!

Koji: Hope...

Hope: Don't get too cocky or you might get kill for it.

Koji: Oh come on. I'm not *that* overconfident.

Hope: It sounds like you're being overconfident.

Koji: Maybe.

Hope: (sighs) You're unbelievable. Can we talk?

Koji: Okay. (goes to a separate room) Something wrong?

Hope: Well I haven't told you yet did I?

Koji: About what?

Hope: Um... Well you see...

Koji: Go on... I'm listening...

Hope: I found out... I'm... Jeez, how am I gonna put this without you freaking out? Okay, I'm gonna have a baby.

Koji: You're gonna have a baby? You're pregnant?! (passes out)

Hope: Koji! Oh great. He passed out. (shakes him) Koji! Koji, wake up!

Koji: (wakes up) You're pregnant?! How?!

Hope: Think about what we did before all of this.

Koji: Hm... Think, Koji, think... (realizes) Oh no.

Hope: Now you remember?

Koji: Oh yeah. Crap! Why didn't I use..?

Hope: (covers his mouth) Don't say it out loud!

Koji: (muffling) Sorry. This changes everything.

Hope: I know. (chuckles)

Koji: Ah man... This is gonna be complicated.

Hope: Uh-huh. But we can work this out.

Koji: Can we?

Hope: Of course. (laughs nervously)

### Lair

#### Donnie's Lab

Catalina: Rach, how is Owl doing?

Rach: Just fine. He's taking a nap.

Catalina: That's good.

Rach: Lina, if you still think this is your fault, it isn't.

Catalina: I know. I'm not gonna beat myself up.

Rach: Good to hear. (smiles warmly)

Catalina: So Rach, is it hard to raise a kid by yourself?

Rach: Oh yeah it was hard. But I just suck it up and deal with it. I'm a tough gal and my dad is the boss of the Brooklyn Mafia. So this shouldn't be much of a problem. I was wrong. Completely wrong

### Flashback

[STORM CRYING]

Rach: (picks him up and starts rocking him back and forth) Shh... Sh... It's okay, Storm... Mama's right here... It's okay... Shh... (starts humming a song) ♩Ninna nanna, ninna oh. Questo bimbo a chi lo dò? Se lo dò alla Befana, Se lo tiene una settimana. Se lo dò all'uomo nero, Se lo tiene un anno intero. Ninna nanna, ninna oh, Questo bimbo me lo terrò...♩

Baby Storm falls asleep as she hums.

Rach: There you go. (pecks his cheek and puts him back to the crib) Goodnight, my little snowflake. (leaves)

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Rach: (cradling him up and down) Who's my little snowflake?! (as Storm laughs) You are! You are my little snowflake! (kisses him on the cheek repeatedly) I really love you. Oh yes I do. Yes I do. (giggling)

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Storm: (tugging on the blanket) Mama?

Rach: (wakes up and sees Storm) Storm? What's wrong, piccolo fiocco di neve? {Translation: little snowflake?}

Storm: I had a nightmare. (Rach picks him up) It was so scary. (sobbing)

Rach: Storm, it's okay. It's only a nightmare. Mama's right here. You can sleep in my bed tonight. (puts him besides her and covers him with a blanket) There you go.

Storm: I had a dream that bad people come in here and hurt you.

Rach: (strokes his hair) Sh... Don't worry. I'm a strong gal. I can take care of any bad guy in my way. And I promise to always protect you.

Storm: Even Teddy?

Rach: Yes, even Teddy. (chuckles) Now go to sleep, little one.

Storm: Okay, mama. (closes his eyes)

Rach: (pecks his forehead) Night... (shuts off the lights)

### Flashback Ends

Rach: You're lucky to have a mom and dad who loves you unconditionally. I have to struggle to raise my son.

Catalina: Does he ask you about his dad?

Rach: Used to. But he accepts it.

Rach: He has his ups-and-downs. But who doesn't? Anyway, Lina, always live life to the fullest. No matter what happen. And who knows? Maybe one day you'll get marry with the guy you love.

Catalina: Rach, that's too soon. Let me grow up a bit. Maybe in my twenties or my thirties to live my life the way I want to do it.

### Underground

It happened in a blur, Hope and Koji was packed up in the back, he eventually got into the back of the vehicle, Myami, Isaac, Max and Jason settled in the back surrounding the three that were injured. Remy finally saw the wounds that were conflicted onto his family. As the truck sped going over bumps, the shots fired around the truck, causing Jason and Max to fire back from behind. Remy crawled to the window that overlooked the front, He saw they were gonna crash into bars that blocked off the tunnels.

Remy: W-What are you doing?

Esme: (speeding up) Ramming it!

Remy: (holds ledge tightly) You're crazy!

Esme: (smirks) I take that as a compliment! Hold on!

Froakie: Don't do this! You could kill us all!

Esme: I know what I'm doing! Just be quiet and let me handle this!

Remy reached out grabbing onto the small child's shell, pulling him in his arm, as his other hand clung to the window. He gritted his teeth as he felt himself being thrashed around violently as Esme swerved to avoid the tires getting shot out. With no warning the truck slammed through the bars, causing them to make a break for it, after they were deep in the tunnel the ride became smooth, Remy unlatched himself from the window and held the toddler in his arms, looking at Isaac, Jason and Max. Jason and Max were fixed on their sister. Remy frowned, gazing at the pair, he felt suddenly guilty. He looked down at the boy who had a small crack in his plastron now, and a cut around his bottom lip. He hugged the small boy close to him.

Remy: I'm so sorry... I should've done something... I should of...

TJ: Shut up, kid.

Katy: Is everyone okay?

Esme: We're fine... Some of us are...

Jinx: That was totally reckless, Esme!

Esme: Sorry...

Remy kept silent as the drive went on till they found themselves out on the New York City streets.

Matthew: We're in New York...

Jinx: I never been out here before... It's so memorizing...

Jason: But doesn't seem to be easy to escape from that place?

Max: (nods) Too easy. But who cares? We're out of the underground and into freedom!

Esme: Worry about that later. Right now, our maid objective is to get those three to Remy's cousin. Right, Remy? (no response) Remy?

Remy: I know a secret passageway my uncle invented.

Katy: You do? Then lead the way, "leader!" We don't got all night!

Strangely, as much as he wanted to be called leader since Irrilia became one, he didnt feel as satisfied as he thought he'd be... Him leader? Not a chance...
