In the Run of the Mill Pizzeria, Shira and Leo are talking to Hueso because they seemed to have a little problem, well, a big problem.

"Okay, Senor Hueso," Leo explained, "my beloved brother, Donatello and I had a bit of a spat. So what kind of pizza says, 'I'm so sorry I called you a selfish egg headed weirdo?'"

Hueso groaned in disgust as the three sugar skulls served meals to each customer. "Ugh, I don't know. Hawaiian?"

"Ooohh. Donnie considers pineapple and ham incompatible. Like I said, a weirdo."

"He ain't a weirdo, Leo," Shira peeped, holding a menu. "He has the brains and beauty like my loving sister, Tomoka."

The skeleton let out a sigh and face palmed. But then, Hueso saw someone appearing out of the portal. He grabbed a ladle from a customer and pointed at his brother. "Get out, you miserable turd!"

His shout made Medusa hiss in alarm, making Shira a little stunned. Leo was confused and slightly offended. "Okay, I'll get the Hawaiian..."

Leo and Shira didn't notice and saw someone at the doorway. It was Captain Piel from earlier when he, Shira and Hueso went on a journey to find his siblings and ended up on the ship. Everyone ran away, screaming, leaving the skeleton kids alone as Hueso charged at his brother.

"Captain Piel?" Shira gasped, surprised. She stood up on her feet. "What brings you to this dump? How are things?"

"My brother is here. He is up to no good," Hueso glared, slamming his ladle at his brother's hook.

"Hueso, I have gone astray," Piel requested him. "No more crimes, no more piracy."

"I don't believe you!"

He thrust forward stabbing though with his ladle, only to bounce back because his skin was in flesh, not bone. The skeleton yokai tried to go after him again, but Shira held his arm back.

"My brother, I come to you for help," the skin yokai pleaded.

"I will help you. To the door." Hueso begins to shove Piel to the door.

"You can't just kick out an untrusted criminal brother," Leo insisted, stopping him. "He's family. So what do you need, skin man?"

"Just a favor," Piel answered, pulling his pirate hat off. "I have given up my whole life, but to be fully free, there is one debt I must repay. So I humbly ask you for your help on one last mission."

"No! I do not have my life shaken up like a cheap one," Hueso refused, firmly.

"I knew It was a mistake to expect you to give me a second chance." Piel started to leave but Shira, who knew everything about mercy is true, stopped him.

"Wait. I know a brother or a sister squabble when I see one," Shira said, "and there's no one better to unsquabble than meow."

Risa and the other sugar skull skeletons heard it already and walked toward them.

"Aren't you here because you had a fight with your brother?" Hueso asked.

"And If someone didn't try to upsell me on Hawaiian I'd have fixed it by now," Leo chirped. "Caption Piel, you can count on us. Vamanos!"



Piel led Hueso, Leo and Shira to the Yokai market for their job, but Hueso somehow still doesn't trust him. Beside her, Medusa walked on foot with the three sugar skulls riding on her hair. Leo began to look round the unique merchandise, distracted by the conversation.

"So what is this mission of yours? And it better not involve theft," Hueso glared.

"Ah, is it theft to take something that already belongs to you?" Piel remarked. "Three weeks ago, someone stole from me the one item I need to pay the most crucial debt of all."
