S3E01: Beneath These Streets (Teenage Mutant Ninja Mobians Version)

## Summary

"Beneath These Streets (Teenage Mutant Ninja Mobians Version)" (Japanese title: Cloud's Life in Danger! Get the Medi-Laser) is Season 3's first episode, and the twenty-first episode of the series "Teenage Mutant Ninja Mobians (1987)."

## Plot

The episode opens with the TMNM and their allies hanging around in the sewer lair when Cloud Strife and Aerith Gainsborough enter and noticed they are not doing their daily katas. After being berated by them on losing their fighting edge, our heroes resume their daily katas. In the Jotundrome in the center of the Earth, Uka-Uka's group reveals to Loki's group that the Protein Silicon Brain is damaged from their last battle and it only needs a number of vital electronic components replaced by being shot with a healing laser. Then Loki's group and their henchmen are tasked to go get such a laser in New York City to fix the Jotundrome, and the only way to get to the surface and back is by Pneumatic Modules. On the streets of New York City, the TMNM and their allies are exhausted from their lookout and upon seeing the local movie theater playing a movie marathon called "Kung Fu Commandos Vs. Chainsaw Cheerleaders," decide to take a break to go see it. After buying the tickets, they turn their Mobiancoms off and they go in. In the sewers, Cloud and Aerith are concerned about the TMNM and their allies' absence and contacts Elise Oriana III and Tai Kamiya's groups to ask if they saw them, but to no luck, they didn't. At Metro Hospital, Elise and Tai's groups are doing a conference interview on a new invention called the Medi-Laser. Suddenly, Loki's group and their henchmen arrive and steal the Medi-Laser. While Elise's group calls Christopher Aonuma's group for help, Tai's group try to call the TMNM and their allies, but no answer from them. With the TMNM and their allies, they finish their movie marathon and go to a nearby pizza parlor to enjoy some pizza and tiramisu. With the rest of our heroes, they join up with Cloud and Aerith to go after Loki's group and their henchmen when they spot the stolen hospital truck double-parked in a downtown area and realize Loki's group and their henchmen are there. Just when Loki's group and their henchmen are about to return to the Jotundrome via the Module, Cloud, Aerith, and Christopher's group intervene and attempt to stop them, but Sephiroth changes the Medi-Laser's healing polarity to a normal laser polarity and shoots Cloud with it. Just when he threatens to shoot Aerith next if she refuses to go with them, Christopher's group intervene again and unknowingly knocked the directional control module off the Medi-Laser. After Loki's group and their henchmen get away in the Module, Aerith and Elise, Christopher, and Tai's groups take a now comatose Cloud out of the building to the sewer lair.

Back in the sewer lair, the TMNM and their allies, having learned of Cloud's condition, immediately blame themselves for slacking off. Deciding to make up for it by saving Cloud, our heroes head out to find Loki's group and get the Medi-Laser back. At the Jotundrome, Loki's group and their henchmen deliver the Medi-Laser to Uka-Uka's group, but without the directional control module, the Medi-Laser can't fire its proper target. Uka-Uka's group then sends Loki's group and their henchmen back to the surface to find the directional control module. With our heroes, they learn of the directional control module when Izzy Izumi revealed that he and our other heroes found it when Cloud was shot. Then learning Loki's group's henchmen wreaking havoc at the park to lure our heroes out, our heroes go after them. After a brief scuffle, the henchmen get away, leaving out heroes to head for the sewer lair.

In the sewers, our heroes encounter Loki's group and their henchmen and after another brief scuffle, manage to get the Medi-Laser back, but lost the directional control module in the process. Then after Loki's group contact Uka-Uka's group to send some Gauntlet Soldiers for backup, to which they agree to send two only, they discover a newspaper that says Metro Hospital has built a new Medi-Laser to replace the one that was stolen. With our heroes, they learn of this from the news and decide to go get it. But Loki's group steals it as well and once re-encountered in the sewers, our heroes fight Loki's group, their henchmen, and the two Gauntlet Soldiers, and manage to get the Medi-Laser back while Loki's group and their henchmen are washed away by the sewer waters and the two Gauntlet Soldiers are destroyed. Back at the sewer lair, our heroes set the Medi-Laser's laser polarity to healing polarity and shoots Cloud with it, healing and reviving him, much to their happiness. Then Elise, Christopher, and Tai's groups return the Medi-Laser to Metro Hospital while the rest of our heroes agree to never slack off again. In the Jotundrome, Uka-Uka's group is angrily berating Loki's group and their henchmen for failing them when Vanitas angrily duct-tapes Demidevimon's mouth and removed Mephiles the Dark's crystal brooch for a brief moment. After Mephiles gets his crystal brooch back on and Demidevimon ungags himself in a painful way, Loki's group angrily berates Uka-Uka's group on whether they despise our heroes or them.
