Meanwhile, with Hakumen, he was wandering around to search for a person to ask where he was. until he was surrounded by foot ninjas.
"You again..." Hakumen said
The ninjas attacked but they were no match for the famed leader of the Six Heroes.
He was about to move on. Until a bullet was aimed towards him,
The White Susanoo noticed it and he sliced the bullet with Ookami, creating a Fumajin.
Tigerclaw: Impressive reflexes, for an outsider,
Hakumen: Who are you?
Tigerclaw: Call me Tigerclaw. And what do they call you Outsider?
Hakumen: Hakumen.
Tigerclaw: Hakumen? Never heard of that name before.
"Enough. Why are you here?" Hakumen asked
Tiger claw: just some tedious errands, my target is Ragna the Bloodedge and Hamato Yoshi's sons
Hakumen: by Hamato Yoshi's sons, are you referring to the turtles?
Tigerclaw: You encountered them before?
Hakumen: Indeed, That mongrel mutant told me about them after I arrived here. I encountered two of them each,
Tigerclaw: So mind telling where they are?
Hakumen: No, I have not seen them, after I encounter the turtles, I started looking around to find out where I am,
He then notices Hakumen's Nox Nyctores.
Tigerclaw: That sword of yours...
Hakumen: What of it?
Tigerclaw: it is nothing like I have seen before, join us, masked warrior, your skills will be useful to Shredder,
Hakumen: I must decline, I go my own path, now leave, or I will cut you down where you stand!
Tiger Claw: Starting to get threatening are we? Then you have left me no choice but to eradicate you.
Hakumen shook his head as his hand slowly inched to the hilt of his blade on his back. Slowly, but surely he drew it, soon the Tiger mutant was faced with a giant blade as long as its wielder was tall.

Hakumen: Fool... I hope you know what it means...
Hakumen points his Nox Nyctores at the Tiger mutant.
"To stand before me..!" Hakumen said before he got into his battle position.

Tigerclaw attacks the White Susanoo, but Hakumen counters it with Zanshin. Once the counter hits, he grabs the tiger mutant with a one-armed shoulder throw.
Tigerclaw gets up and clashed swords with Hakumen.
"So why are you after Ragna the Bloodedge?" Tigerclaw asked.
Hakumen: That does not concern you. But let me tell you this, Ragna the Bloodedge is my target, and I can't let a scum like you get to him first.
The two fighters broke the clash before Hakumen lifts his sword in the air charging up a sword beam
Hakumen: Empty Sky Form... SUMMER'S ADVANCE!!
Hakumen then unleashes a blade beam from Ookami.
"This power... What is he!?" Tigerclaw said to himself
Meanwhile, Mikey was watching an episode of "Help Me Professor Kokonoe!" on his phone while Lambda was with him, When Donnie met up with them all beaten,
"Woah what happened to you?" Asked Mikey
Donnie: Don't ask,
Kokonoe: Looks like you got yourself tattered up. You alright?
Donnie: Not to be rude professor, But I tried to call you and you didn't respond, what gives?
"I was busy on the line with my colleague," Kokonoe replied
Donnie: Right. So Mikey, What are you watching?
Kokonoe: He's watching a show I told him to try out.
Donnie: What's it called?
Kokonoe: It's called "Help Me Professor Kokonoe!" hosted by yours truly.
Donnie: Wait, Kokonoe, You have your own show?
"Yeah of course I do, It takes place in a counseling room, people show up there if they get the bad ending, and I give them advice so that they can find their way to the true ending," Kokonoe explained
Until Lambda detected something below the rooftops
Kokonoe: What is it Lambda?
Lambda: Unexpected activity confirmed,
they headed to where Lambda was and they saw Tigerclaw fighting Hakumen
"Woah Donnie look! It's the Masked Superhero!" Mikey said excitedly.
Donnie: By the masked superhero, are you talking about Hakumen?
Mikey: Yeah, I'm just gonna call him the Masked Superhero.
"Damn it Hakumen..." Kokonoe muttered
Donnie: Something on your mind Professor?
Kokonoe: No, it's nothing.
Donnie: By the way. What's that weapon he's wielding?
Kokonoe: The Nox Nyctores Interfectum Malus: Ookami, why?
Donnie: Just wanted to ask what it does?
"It's a nodachi blade that can nullify different types of Ars Magus or projectiles, whether it'd be magic, bullets, lasers, you name them," Kokonoe explained
Donnie: Wait. Ars Magus?
Kokonoe: It's an art that combines magic with science,
Donnie: What else can it do?
Kokonoe: It can also connect with the Susano'o unit allowing it to cut through time and dimensions.
Donnie: Woah, that's interesting.
Mikey: Hey Donnie! Do you think it's possible that I can wield one?
Kokonoe: Not exactly, even though the Nox's seem awesome and all, they're very dangerous to wield.
Mikey: How so?
Kokonoe: You'll have to find out when Jin and Ragna meet each other.
Back to the battle, Tigerclaw clashed with the Leader of the Six Heroes. Hakumen got the upper hand by doing Enma and then follows up with a low kick then a sidekick
Hakumen: Lotus!
Tigerclaw was sent back a few feet, he then starts firing bullets at the White Susano'o
Hakumen uses Zanshin to block the bullets, he then reflects them with his sword.
Tigerclaw dodges the deflected bullets and moves in to attack the Six Hero Leader.
Hakumen dodges the attack by jumping in the air and then attacks him from above.
Hakumen: Agito!
Hakumen does an aerial claw swipe sending Tiger claw to the ground.
Back with Celica, she and Minerva were with Bradford. She has gotten along with him very well ever since they were paired up
Minerva: ...
Celica: It's okay Minerva, Bradford may be an enemy of the turtles, But deep down, He's a very good person to be around.
Dogpound: Did you say something?
Celica: I just said that you might be an enemy but to be honest, you're a very good person
With those words, Dogpound blushed.
Dogpound:  Is that so? It's nice to know that a person like you cares about someone like me.
Celica was continuing her path until she saw Hakumen fighting the tiger mutant
Celica: Mr. Bradford! You might want to have a look at this.
Dog pound: What is it Celica?
Celica points to the White Susanoo battling Tigerclaw.
Dogpound: It's that masked warrior from earlier.
Celica: That's Mr. Hakumen!
Dogpound: Do you know him?
Celica: Yes, He's the leader of the Six Heroes and the one who slew the Black Beast. Why, you met him before?
Dogpound: Of course, I did, I asked him if we could team up to hunt down the turtles.
Celica tilts her head in confusion
Dogpound: Consider It, a deal.
Celica: Oh. That makes sense
Back with the two warriors, Tigerclaw was having a hard time dealing with the leader of the Six Heroes
Hakumen: Give up. You have no chance of beating me.
Tiger Claw: Not a chance, Outsider.
Tigerclaw released one last strike to the White Susanoo
Hakumen creates a circular counter waiting for the right moment.
Hakumen: Empty Sky Form Forbidden Art...
As soon as Tigerclaw hits the counter he was trapped in Hakumen's technique.

Hakumen: PERISH EVIL!!!!
Hakumen then swings his sword and multiple paint strokes cover the screen entirely,
This sends the mutant hunter crashing into an alley.
Hakumen walks over to the injured tiger mutant and points his Nox Nyctores at him.
"Now answer me. Where am I?" Hakumen Demanded
Tigerclaw: You are in New York City... Outsider.
Hakumen's mind: So I didn't go through the Boundary after all.
Hakumen: You also mentioned this Shredder person. Is he the one your working for?
Tigerclaw: That's correct.
"That's all I needed to know," Hakumen said as he sheathes Ookami.
He then started to leave,
"Where are you-?" Tigerclaw as he struggled to get up
Hakumen: I'm letting you live for now, but if you get in my way again, I won't hesitate to kill you.
"And just to let you know... I was never on your side, to begin with." Hakumen said before he left.
Dogpound: I can't believe he threw away our deal!
Celica: What do you mean?
Dogpound: I asked him to assist us in destroying the turtles and that is how he repays me?!
Dogpound Tightened his fist in anger But Celica calmed him down by touching his hand
Minerva: ...
Celica: Your right, we have to help him.
Celica rushes over to the injured tiger mutant, with Minerva following her.
"Are you alright?" Celica asked
"Who... are you?" Tigerclaw asked as he struggled to get up.
Celica: Don't worry, I'm here to help.
Celica uses her healing magic to replenish Tiger claw's injuries.
Dogpound was very fascinated and surprised when he saw Celica's healing powers.
Dogpound: Incredible..!
Celica: You shouldn't be pushing yourself.
Tigerclaw: You... have my gratitude young lady,
Celica: So what were you doing?
Tigerclaw: I was about to find the turtles until this Hakumen person got in the way. Either way I'll be off.
"Where are you going?" Celica asked
Tigerclaw: I'm going to hunt down the turtles,
Celica: Would you mind if I go with you?
Tiger claw looks back at Celica with a smile on his face.
Tigerclaw: Why not.
Celica: Aren't you coming?
Dogpound: I'll catch up with you later.  Just be careful Celica.
Celica: Don't worry, we will.
Celica and Minerva head out with Tigerclaw.
After the battle, Donnie and Mikey were astounded by Hakumen's abilities
Donnie: Woah, remind me not to face him in combat.
Mikey: Well let's just hope that Raph doesn't encounter him or his arch-rival.
Donnie: Wait, Raph has an arch-rival?
Kokonoe: He's talking about Jin Kisaragi.
Donnie: Since when did Jin become Raph's arch-rival?
Kokonoe: It's because of his cold attitude towards others, no pun intended.
Mikey: And how he got pummeled by him. I hope he doesn't get hurt along the way.
"But How will we know where Raph is?" Donnie said in concern
Kokonoe: Don't worry, I got it covered.
The female scientist started typing on her computer, then the image showed the location of her allies, and she saw that Raphael was in the eastern area.
"Perfect," Kokonoe said as she smirked
She then started texting the genius turtle to let him know where Raphael is.
Donnie then got a text from Kokonoe which said.
Raph is located in the eastern area of New York thanks to my tracking device.
Kokonoe: I'll have Lambda head over there to back him up, Lambda, Raph is in the eastern area of New York, I'm gonna transport you over to there to back him up alright?
Lambda: Understood.
Mikey: What about us?
Kokonoe: why don't you two get some pizza, I'll update you guys on what's going on.
Donnie: Alright fine by me.
Kokonoe: Here we go then. Beginning transfer.
Kokonoe activated her spatial transfer and Lambda was transported to another area while the two younger brothers head out to buy themselves a pizza.
