Today, we join Teddy Ruxpin, a teenage Illiop and his friends Grubby an Octopede and Newton Gimmick, a human or as they’re known in Grundo a Perloon. They’re sailing their giant airship towards a place known as the Hard-to-Find-City.

Teddy: I’m really glad we got back the Seventh Crystal. I didn’t even realize it was missing.

Grubby: Yeah, if not for Tweeg, we never would’ve gotten it back.

Teddy: Though, I think Mia’s the one to really thank for it was she who stole it back and gave it to Tweeg to return to us.

Gimmick: Indeed, if not for er-uh Mia, it would still be in MAVO’s uh clutches.

Teddy: But now that we have all seven crystals, we can return them to the Hard-to-Find-City.

Grubby: Then find any other Illiop colonies.

Teddy: Right again, Grubby.

Gimmick: There it is, boys, uh-er Leekee Lake at 2:00!

They soon enough come to Leekee Lake, landing the Airship and coming to the submarine known as the Sub-Water Boat.

Teddy: Ahh, the Sub-Water Boat, I can still remember when my father and I first drove it underwater.

Grubby: Yeah, back when he was the Hermit of Leekee Lake. We didn’t even believe you about him until we actually met him.

Gimmick: Indeed, er Grubby.

The trio boards the Sub-Water Boat and dive underwater. Meanwhile, on a cliff of a place known as Crimson Mountain, the Understander of Legends from M.A.V.O. along with the gatekeeper Ickly Bognostroclum come to a small house. The Understander knocks and from the door is her sister, the Witch of Crimson Mountain.

Witch Russian accent: Oh, so good to see you again, Fronimos.

Understander: As is you, Psychi.

Ickly: I didn’t know your actual name was Fronimos.

Witch: Well, do not just stand around outside, come in, come in.

The Understander and Ickly come into the house.

Witch: Well here is my house. Have a look around, but be careful when touching something!

The Witch and Understander have a seat on the sofa while Ickly looks around.

Witch: So, how’s everything at M.A.V.O.?

Understander: Not good I can tell you that. Ever since the Seventh Crystal disappeared from the Black Box, M.A.V.O. has gone to pieces for the one true leader must have the Black Box at all times.

Witch: I see.

Understander: However, the Black Box won’t do anything without the Seventh Crystal. But anything new going on with you?

Witch: Well, now that you mention it, I did come across a spell that will turn all the people of Grundo into mindless zombie slaves.

Understander: Ooh, sounds interesting.

Witch: Yes, I have everything I need to make the spell, however I’m missing one ingredient, unicorn horns. I searched and searched, but alas in Grundo and even Ying and Rillonia, unicorns are scarce.

Understander: But did that stop you?

Witch: Of course not.

Understander: Not to worry, darling. I know just where to get unicorns.

A sly, sinister glace appears on the two sisters’ faces. At that time, in Dream Valley, the home of the Little Ponies, they get a visit from their friends, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, their Master Splinter and their sidekicks the Fellowship of Mutants. The Turtle Blimp lands as they’re greeted by a handful of Ponies.

Ponies: (Various hellos)

Leonardo: Hi everyone.

Paradise: Good to see you all again.

Stella: Good to see you too.

Several of the Fellowship goes inside Paradise Estate as Master Splinter sits by a tree and meditates. All that are left are the Fellowship leaders, the Turtles and Ponies.

Blazer: Now, who’s up for a round of freeze tag?

Ponies/Fellowship: Yeah!

Leonardo/Donatello in unison: We’ll play.

Raphael tries walking off but Leonardo gently grabs him and pulls him back.

Leonardo: Raph will play too.

Raphael: Aw, do I have to?

Michelangelo: (Chuckles) He’s also volunteered to be “it”.

All: (Laughter)

Donatello: Just remember, the unicorns are restricted from winking out, same for the Pegasi flying.

Everyone: Right!

Everyone runs off as Raphael goes after them. Although, the red-masked Turtle has never cared for visiting Ponyland since day one, too happy and colorful for his taste. He catches up to Baby Lickety-Split and tags her. She freezes in place, a moment after, Stella tags and unfreezes her.

Baby Lickety-Split: Thanks Stella.

Stella: No prob.

Baby Ribbon runs around a hill she sees Raphael freeze Phoebe, but right when he comes about two feet of Baby Ribbon, she winks out.

Raphael: Hey! Baby Ribbon winked out!

Leonardo: Time-out, everyone!

Leonardo, Donatello, Stella and Ribbon come by.

Ribbon: Baby Ribbon, you know winking out is against the rules.

Baby Ribbon tries reappearing but all that appears is her tail.

Baby Ribbon: I didn’t mean to.

Ribbon: It’s all right, wink all the way back in so we can continue playing.

Baby Ribbon: I’ll try.

She tries again but just her horn appears.

Baby Ribbon: Oops! (giggling)

Donatello: She has such trouble winking back in.

Stella: C’mon Baby Ribbon, you can do it.

Baby Ribbon finally fully winks back in.

Baby Ribbon: I did it!

Raphael: Yeah, great. Now can we continue playing?

Ribbon: Sure thing. And you’re still “it”, Raphael!

Everyone runs off as Raphael rolls his eyes and continues to catch up with the others, Michelangelo unfreezes Phoebe as Raphael tags Michelangelo as payback for making him “it”. The orange-masked Turtle freezes in place, after a moment Luna unfreezes him. But once Raphael comes close to Baby Ribbon and is about to tag her, she winks out again.

Raphael: (Exasperated sigh) Not again.

All the other players come by to an obvious time-out.

Michelangelo: Aw she’s no fun.

Ribbon: Baby Ribbon, we’re waiting.

Raphael: Gee, this is pathetic.

Phoebe: Hey shut up, Raph, she’s just a baby.

Ribbon: Looks like she’s having more trouble than usual.

Donatello: Do you think she winked back somewhere else?

Ribbon: That’s possible, I’d better go find her. Be back in a jiffy.

She winks out as everyone else waits. Ribbon finds herself in a strange dark place.

Ribbon: Baby Ribbon?

Baby Ribbon: Right here, Mommy. What is this place?

Ribbon: I have no idea. (gasps)

She sees Ickly on a doorway at the top of a flight of stairs above them, he closes the door behind him. He goes to the Understander and Witch at a large cauldron.

Ickly: Good news, ladies, the spell worked, you’ve captured two of the unicorns.

Witch: Yes, very soon all of Grundo will be ours.

Understander: But look.

In the cauldron’s brew is a view of Ponyland, the Understander points to the Turtles and Fellowship.

Ickly: Hey, I’ve met those guys. They’re friends with Eleanor Tweeg’s nincompoop son.

Understander: If the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mutant Fellowship are involved, I will enlist some help.

She adds a few things in the brew and appears in it are the Shredder and Krang. As the Understander appears on their giant portal-screen in the Technodrome.

Understander: Which one of you is Krang?

Krang: Why that would be me.

Shredder: And who might you be?

Understander: I am called the Understander of Legends, my boss’s acquaintance Kenji has told me about you.

Shredder: Yes, I remember Kenji, he and I were almost rid of the Turtles and their friends.

Understander: And that is why I have contacted you. The Turtles are in this dimension and I must borrow your henchmen.

Krang: You got a deal, Understander. Bebop! Rocksteady! You’re needed on a special mission.

Bebop: Oh boy, we’re going on a mission!

Rocksteady: Do we get to bash and thrash those stinkin’ Toitles and furballs?

Understander: Of course.

Krang opens the portal and Rocksteady & Bebop are sent through and arrive at the Witch’s house. At that time, Louie is videotaping this through the window, he leaves before anyone actually sees him. Meanwhile, Teddy and his friends arrive at the Hard-to-Find-City, they come out of the dining hall and Teddy peaks outside, looking around.

Teddy: Coast is clear.

They walk out, careful to evade any Gutangs, they make their way to the pavilion. And place the Crystals on the pedestal, a bright light appears and shows the Illiops all evacuating from the City as the Gutangs invade.

Grubby: Look, this is when the Gutangs took over the Hard-to-Find-City.

After the evacuation, Three of the sages come together and make an agreement.

Theodore the Wise: Then it is agreed, until the time comes when it is safe to return, we will each split up and settle elsewhere. Anthony the Strong, you will take a third of our people to Ying. Lucinda the Kind, you will find a place hidden deep within Grundo. And I will take the rest to Rillonia.

Anthony the Strong: Agreed.

Lucinda the Kind: One day, the Hard-to-Find-City will be safe once more.

Anthony the Strong: But until then, we will settle in other place.

The sages take their group and head off in different directions, the vision shows Theodore the Wise and his people settling in Rillonia.

Teddy: There’s my village, when it was first built.

It then shows Anthony the Strong leading another group of Illiops towards Ying, they come upon a village in one of the high mountain. Grubby notices the wreckage of Gutang flying machine.

Grubby: Isn’t that the Gutangs’ original village? Judging by the remains of that flying machine?

Gimmick: Looks like it, Grubby. Though, it uh seems the Gutangs abandoned their village in favor of the Hard-to-Find-City.

Teddy: So the Illiops settled in the Gutangs’ original home.

The final vision is Lucinda the Kind leading the last group deep within the Moss Forest.

Teddy: That looks like the Moss Forest.

Gimmick: You’re right, Teddy.

Grubby: Though, that’s a lot deeper than even we’ve gone.

Teddy: Well, that’s where we’re headed.

The trio head out of the Hard-to-Find-City, careful to avoid any Gutangs, they go out the dining room and into the secret passage way, back to the sub-water boat. Back in Dream Valley, the Turtles, Ponies and Fellowship realize that Ribbon and Baby Ribbon haven’t returned.

Phoebe: Where could they be? It’s been at least 45 minutes.

Leonardo: We’d better head back to Paradise Estate.

Everyone gets back to Paradise Estate and are together inside.

Leonardo: We shouldn’t jump to conclusions, we don’t know for certain that they’re in trouble.

Galaxy: I have a bad feeling about this.

Twist: Same here, we’ve got to find out what happened.

Leonardo: Galaxy, Twist, wait!

Galaxy and Twist wink out.

Michelangelo: Aw, now we lost Galaxy and Twist.

Stella: Take it easy, everyone, it’s only been a second or two.

Paradise: The unicorns wink in and out instantly, if Galaxy and Twist had found Ribbon and Baby Ribbon, they’d be back by now.

Leonardo: All right, we’ll spread the word, no more winking out until we know what’s going on.

Paradise: Right.

Magic Star: We’ll tell the rest of the unicorns while there’s still time.

The Ponies, Turtles and Fellowship go around to find the rest of the unicorns. While in Lullaby Nursery, the Baby Ponies are playing around. There’s a giant mountain of pillows in the middle of the room with Baby Lickety-Split at the top.

Baby Lickety-Split: I’m the queen of the mountain!

Baby Gusty: I’ll wink up there and show her.

Right when Donatello and Luna come in and see Baby Gusty about to wink out…

Both: (Gasps)

Donatello: Wait, Baby Gusty, stop!

But too late, she already winks out.

Luna: Too late.

Donatello: Baby Woggles, Baby S’mores, whatever you do, do not wink out.

Baby Woggles: How come?

Luna: Don’t want you to disappear like Baby Gusty.

Baby S’mores: O.K., Luna.

In another part of Dream Valley, Fizzy is frolicking around and comes to the river with stepping stone. The Baby Sea Ponies come out of the water.

Baby Sea Ponies: Shoop-pe-doo, shoop-shoop-pe-doo. Shoop-pe-doo, shoop-shoop-pe-doo.

Sun Shower: What’s up, Fizzy?

Fizzy: I want to cross the water.

Water Lily: Try the rocks.

Fizzy: I’m worried I might fall in, I’ll just wink across.

She winks out but disappears, that’s when Leonardo, Phoebe, Paradise and Shady come by.

Baby Sea Ponies: Shoop-pe-doo, shoop-shoop-pe-doo. Shoop-pe-doo, shoop-shoop-pe-doo.

Phoebe: Hi. Did any of you see Fizzy lately?

Sea Shimmer: She just winked out.

Sun Shower: But she didn’t wink back in again.

(Turtle com beeping)

Leonardo: Yeah?

Michelangelo: Bad news, Leo, Gusty is gone too. She was like too impatient to run back for lunch so she like winked out.

Leonardo: C’mon, back to Paradise Estate.

The others head back to Paradise Estate, upon returning, they run into their friends from Rillonia, the grunge Elroy Tweeg and the troll-grunge hybrid Felicia Utav.

Leonardo: Elroy, Felicia, what brings you guys here?

Elroy: Thought we’d pop by to say hey. Anything worth interest happenin’?

Michelangelo: Oh, there sure is, man. Like the unicorns are disappearing out of thin air whenever they wink out.

Felicia: Well, now that you mention it, my Frisbee got stuck in a tree, Fifi tried getting it down by winking up there, but when she winked out, she didn’t wink back in.

Buttons: That means the only unicorns left are me, Speedy, Bangles, Mimic, Woggles, S’mores, Baby Woggles and Baby S’mores.

Stella: Also Sniffles and Snookums, but they’re too young to know how to wink in and out.

That’s when Majesty comes by with the Grundle King riding on her.

Donatello: Majesty, thank heaven you haven’t disappeared too.

Majesty: I know, we’ve heard about how the other unicorns are disappearing without a trace.

Grundle King: Grundle King won’t let anything happen to Majesty.

Leonardo: We know, Grundle King. But what is happening to the other unicorns?

At that time, while Master Splinter is in a meditative state, he gets a vision of a strange cottage on a cliff and on the cliff by the house is Ribbon.

Ribbon: Crimson Mountain.

Master Splinter awakens.

Master Splinter: (Gasps) Leonardo! Donatello! Michelangelo! Raphael!

The Turtles, Fellowship, Elroy, Felicia and a few Ponies come to him.

Leonardo: Master Splinter, what is it?

Master Splinter: A terrible vision, Ribbon was trying to reach out to me telepathically. She only said one thing “Crimson Mountain”.

Paradise: Crimson Mountain. That sounds familiar, it’s in Grundo but I haven’t the foggiest on where in Grundo it is.

Leonardo: Maybe the Moochick will know.

Stella: It’s worth a shot. Let’s go.

The TMNT, Fellowship leaders, Felicia, Paradise, Gingerbread and Skippity-Doo make their way towards the Mushromp. They come to his cottage and knock on the door. He answers.

Moochick: Oh my-my-my, who is it?

Leonardo: It’s the Ninja Turtles and Mutant Fellowship, Mr. Moochick.

Moochick: Oh, of course, please do come in.

Everyone enters.

Moochick: So, what seems to be the reason for your visit?

Donatello: Have you heard of a place called Crimson Mountain in Grundo?

Moochick: Oh no-no-no, never heard of such a place. But if it’s in Grundo, you’ll have to ask the Wizard of Wee-Gee.

Raphael: Is he in Grundo also?

Moochick: Oh he sure is, he knows Grundo better than I know Ponyland.

Leonardo: Thanks for the help, Mr. Moochick.

Moochick: Oh you’re quite welcome, I’m sure.

The heroes head back for Paradise Estate as the Moochick plays checkers with his rabbit assistant, Habit.

Moochick: At least, I think it’s the Wizard of Wee-Gee. Or was it the Warlock of Windbag-town?

Habit beats him in checkers, as per usual. The heroes return to Paradise Estate.

Leonardo: All right, the Moochick said we’ll have to ask the Wizard of Grundo.

Felicia: Although, there’s only one person who knows Grundo better than any of us. Jack W. Tweeg.

Stella: She’s right, we’ll have to talk Tweeg into coming to Grundo with us.

Michelangelo: Who else is in?

Spike: Count me in.

Grundle King: Same for Grundle King.

Stella: Anyone else?

Joey, Weaver, Ida, Spooky, Lucky, Paradise, North Star, Gingerbread, Skippity-Doo and the remaining unicorns step forward.

Leonardo: To the Turtle Blimp!

With the Turtles, Felicia and Joey on the Turtle Blimp, Lucky riding on Ida’s back, Weaver on Spooky’s, Stella and Luna on Paradise and Blazer and Phoebe on North Star, as well as Mimic using her Golden Horseshoe’s magic to make a cloud appear for the rest of them to ride, the rescue party heads for Rillonia.

Cupcake: Hurry back and good luck!

The heroes come to Rillonia where Tweeg is, he’s with his girlfriend Mia whom is also Felicia’s older sister. They had just finished telling them about what’s happened to the unicorns.

Mia: That’s awful.

Leonardo: And that’s why we need Tweeg’s help to find the unicorns.

Tweeg: What? And return to Grundo where I’m not exactly the most loved person of all?

Gingerbread: Please Tweeg? You know Grundo better than any of us.

Tweeg: What if we run into M.A.V.O. assassins and Quellor? He’ll cut off my head and soak it in marinade.

Joey: Aw, we can handle any bad guys who cross our path.

Tweeg: (Groans)

Mia: Please Jack, do it for me.

He looks towards her pleading purple eyes and finally gives in.

Tweeg: Well… all right. I’ll do it for you, Mia.

Mia: I know you can do it.

She kisses him for good luck.

Tweeg: (Chuckling)

Felicia: (Rolls eyes) Mush. Bye Mia.

Mia: Take care, sis.

They board the Turtle Blimp as Mia waves good-bye to the heroes, they fly off towards Grundo.

TMNT: Turtle Power!

Meanwhile, Teddy and his friends land the airship outside the Jungle With No Name and enter, they pass the Grunge village with some of the forest grunges waving hello. They soon enough make it to the Moss Forest. But as they trek further and further, it becomes denser by the minute.

Teddy: Gee, I don’t recall the Moss Forest being this dense.

Gimmick: That’s because we uh have traveled much further than anyone in Grundo ever has.

Grubby: I also don’t remember the Moss forest having such big plants.

He gets his feet tangled up in vines.

Grubby: Or this many vines.

Gimmick: I regret to admit, I er-uh haven’t the equipment for traveling in such conditions. I suppose the uh best we can do is return to the uh Grunge Village and rest.

Grubby: (Grunts, pulls foot out of vine) I’m up for that, then maybe we’ll have dinner.

Teddy sadly: Yeah, I guess you guys are right.

The trio turns back, although Teddy is slightly discouraged for he had hoped to know more about the lost colony. Above them is Louie the Grunge videotaping all this. At that time, the heroes are crossing the sea.

Leonardo: You doing all right, Fellowship?

Stella: Just fine, Leo. In fact, I feel a song coming on!

Raphael: As if living with her wasn’t punishment enough.

Stella:
If you’re tumbling down…
And your spirits fall…
Phoebe:
Help’s on the way…
We hear your call…
Blazer:
On a mission, we’re united as one!
Friends forever…
Yeah…
Fellowship:
Here we come!

Ida flies up to Raphael’s side and leans against him, he’s not terribly thrilled about that.

Ida:
In no time…we’ll be at your side!
Lucky:
We’re a team…on a rollercoaster ride!
Joey:
Each one of us…knows just what to do!
Never gonna stop…gonna stop!
Fellowship:
Searchin’ for you!
Spooky:
Be there soon for me!
Fellowship:
Searching for you!
Weaver:
Oh, for you…
We’re gonna set you free!
Fellowship:
Coming to the rescue!
Spooky:
Get there in a hurry!
Fellowship:

Luna:
Baby, don’t you worry!
Fellowship:

Spike:
This adventure’s heatin’ up! (blows out a flame)
Blazer:
I’ll rescue you…
And if I do…
Fellowship:
You gotta rescue me!
Stella:
So if you’re lost…
One thing is true…
Never gonna stop…
Looking for you!
Blazer:
You’re not alone…
So have no doubt…

Ida and Spooky have their heads touch each other’s.

Ida:
We’ll put our heads together…
Both:
Gonna figure it out!
Spooky:
Oh!
Baby, listen to me!
We’re gonna…gonna…
Set you free!
Fellowship:
Coming to the rescue!
Stella:

As the song fades and ends, the heroes are coming closer and closer to Grundo.

In our next adventure, the rescue party arrives in Grundo and are joined by Tweeg’s original sidekick L.B. My friends and I also meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mutant Fellowship and Felicia for the first time. Leonardo reveals the Turtles’ origin story and Michelangelo even introduces pizza to Grundo. So please join us in our next fun-filled adventure with Teddy Ruxpin. That’s me.

To Be Continued…

And that's part one to my recent AoTR/TMNT/MLP fanfic, most of the inspiration came from the MLP ep. "The Return of Tambelon." Song is from "Pikachu's Rescue Adventure". Feel free to give critique and/or feedback.
