It's nighttime in Tokyo. Hiro, wearing a green coat and beanie, and Tadano, wearing a red, rugged hoodie the size of a car blanket, are walking through the bustling streets, attracting no attention from anyone.
"Alright, Soldier, just a few units further and we can end our long night patrol with some of sweet, sweet, fishy salvation," Hiro
"Seven years later and people still haven't realised we're walking amongst them? I mean, wouldn't it be weird that like a seven-foot giant person in a ginormous hoodie would just be walking around?" Tadano
"You forget your sector, soldier. This is Tokyo; a balding middle-aged man in a Sailor Moon outfit with the short skirt and everything could be walking around on the streets trying to get a partner for the night, and people wouldn't bat an eye." Hiro
"Your imagination is terrifying, lil ' man." Tadano
"As the leader of our team, I must imagine the worst." Hiro
"Really? I mean it wouldn't hurt to think of something cute once in a while." Tadano
"Like what, soldier?' Hiro
"I don't know, a duck maybe? Tadano
Hiro's eyes widen in rage.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Hiro
"W-WHAT?!" Tadano
"Did you just say ducks are.....lord almighty forgive me....CUTE?!" Hiro
"Uh...yeah? Hiro, do you not like ducks?" Tadano
"HOW CAN ANYONE!? Their MONSTERS, with their habit of abandoning their family at the sight of their own kids, their ear-piercing, heart-attacking quacks, and don't get me started on their DISGUSTING greed for the WHEATY GOODNESS THAT IS BREAD" Hiro
"They're ducks, Hiro...." Tadano
"THEY'RE NATURE'S GREATEST ABOMINATION IS WHAT THEY ARE! Cute and ducks in the same sentence....HOW DARE YOU?!" Hiro
Tadano sighs.
"Whatever, man." Tadano
They finally walk into the restaurant with a sign saying Uzui's Sushi Shack on top, only to find an old man in an apron with his face on the counter, crying at the top of his voice in an empty restaurant. Hiro and Tadano rush over him with concerned looks on their faces.
"Mr. Uzui, what happened?!" Tadano
Mr. Uzui raises his head.
"They....they took my....EVERYTHING!" Mr. Uzui
He slams his face back on the counter.
"Well, what did they take, your favourite pans?" Hiro
"Your customers?" Tadano
"Your chopsticks?" Hiro
"Your napkins?" Tadano
"Your nuts?" Hiro
"Hiro, please...." Tadano
Tadano pauses and strokes his chin.
"Did they take your nuts?" Tadano
Mr. Uzui raises his head again.
"I really wish they did...." Mr. Uzui
"Really?" Hiro
".....but they just had to take my month's worth supply of FISH!" Mr. Uzui
Hiro and Shiro gasp.
"WHAT?!" Hiro
" OH, HECK NO! These guys gotta pay! Who are they?! What did they look like?!" Tadano
"T-They looked like....like monsters in these samurai armours" Mr. Uzui

"Monsters?" Tadano whispering
"Yokai" Hiro whispering
"What am I gonna do?! I don't have enough money to buy another supply!" Mr. Uzui
"Don't worry, Mr. Uzui, we got this." Tadano
"Let's move, soldier! If there's anything I hate ALMOST as much as ducks, it's darn a fish thief!" Hiro
The both run out of the restaurant into the streets. Moments later, the duo land on a building in front of an abandoned-looking warehouse in their normal Ghost attire. They look down at the warehouse and the white truck in front of it with narrowed eyes and their bandanas flowing with the wind.
"Going off of all the hubbub on the street from other victims of fish theft, this should be where our targets are hiding," Hiro
"Alright then!" Tadano
Tadano cracks his knuckles.
"Let's go bust some heads." Tadano
Inside the warehouse, seven yokai of different shapes, sizes, and colours, wearing white scanty samurai armour with a red kanji on their chests saying 'SUPREMACY ', are moving around, carrying crates, unloading the white truck outside, pouring fish into a massive pot of broth, and pouring it into a large, complicated-looking machine over and over again.
A particular yokai, folding his arms, wearing white heavy samurai armour and a red cape with the red kanji on his chest, with a white mask and glowing red eyes, having noodles for holding his body joints together and having noodles going down the back of his head like long hair, is looking at the entire process with narrowed eyes. He chuckles.
"Soon this city will worship me like the god that I am." The yokai
"OH, DEFINITELY!" a voice
"Right? WAIT, you guys can talk?" The yokai
The yokai turns around only to find Tadano and Hiro standing on four unconscious yokai.
"WHAT?!" The yokai
The other three yokai load the complicated machine into the truck outside.
"Surprise," Hiro
"Who are you?!" The yokai
"WE'RE THE GHOSTS YA CRUMB BUM!" Tadano
"The Ghosts? Ah, I've heard of your tale, your the ones who vanquished that attention-seeking magician who nearly plundered the entire city a month ago." The yokai
"That's right. With that out of the way, who are you and what's with the stealing of succulent good fish! Hiro
"I am Lord Eldoon, the Ramen Yokai, leader of the newly formed Eldoon Clan, and the fishes I have in my possession are part of the ingredients needed for me to finish making my hypno-broth, which I will use to expand my now small clan into an unstoppable army." The yokai
The Ghosts look at him, look at each other, then look back at him.
"Um...okay" Hiro
".....Is something wrong?" Lord Eldoon
"What? No" Tadano
"You sure? Cuz you're acting like something is wrong." Lord Eldoon
"No, not, it's just....is this really what we're doing?" Tadano
"I don't follow." Lord Eldoon
"You're kind of....how do I put this....lame" Hiro
"Lame? LAME?!" Lord Eldoon
"I mean, coming off of Razzle....yeah, kinda" Tadano
Eldoon growls.
"One of you is with me! The rest of you get them!" Lord Eldoon
Lord Eldoon runs over to the truck with another yokai as the two remaining yokai dash towards Hiro and Tadano.
Hiro flips over one of them and kicks him into a pile of crates, shattering them.
Tadano catches the fist of the other yokai and kicks him away, sending him flying and crashing into a shelf. The shelf tips over and crushes the yokai.
As the truck zooms off from the scene, Tadano and Hiro run out of the warehouse gnashing their teeth as the truck leaves.
"Darn it! They're getting away! Now what?!" Tadano
The both of them look towards a pair of black bikes. Hiro and Tadano smirk.
"You thinking what I'm thinking, soldier?" Hiro
"Yeah....." Tadano
Tadano looks at Hiro, looks back at the bikes, looks at Hiro again, looks at the bikes again, then strokes his chin.
"It's the bikes, right?" Tadano
"Yes, yes, it's bikes," Hiro
The duo rush over to the bikes, hop on them, put on helmets, and zoom off after the truck.
Moments later, the truck is speeding through traffic, ramming and bashing cars off the road. Lord Eldoon in the passenger seat laughs maniacally.
"At this rate, we'll be in Times Square in no time," Lord Eldoon
Lord Eldoon glances at the door mirror; his eyes widen.
"WHAT?!" Lord Eldoon
He sticks his head out the window only to find Hiro and Tadano riding towards them from behind at full speed. Lord Eldoon growls.
"PULL OVER, NOODLE NECK!" Hiro
Lord Eldoon climbs out of his seat onto the truck.
"YOU WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH MY UPRISING! I MUST BE AT THE TOP! I WILL!" Lord Eldoon
Lord Eldoon stretches out his hands, ejecting whips made out of noodles from his wrists.
"BLEGH!" Tadano
Lord Eldoon begins swinging his whips at them as Hiro and Tadano begin weaving through all the swings with their bikes.
"JUST. GO. DOWN!" Lord Eldoon
Hiro pulls out an egg and hurls it at him; it bursts into a green cloud, causing Lord Eldoon to drop to his knees, coughing uncontrollably.
"ALRIGHT, BOARDING TIME!" Hiro
Hiro gets closer to the truck and stretches his hand towards it. Tadano's eyes widen.
"HIRO, DUCK!" Tadano
Hiro snaps his head 180 degrees backwards with widened red eyes.
"WHERE?!!" Hiro
Hiro smashes his head against a sign, flies off his bike, tumbles uncontrollably, and crashes into a fruit vendor's booth. Tadano is looking at him with lowered brows.
Tadano sighs with his hand on his face, then looks ahead with narrowed eyes, leaps off his bike onto the truck, finally coming face to face with Lord Eldoon. Tadano raises his fists at him.
"You're wasting your time, hero. Once we reach Times Square, the bomb with the hypno broth will go off and the hundreds, no, thousands of people there will be under my control, and I will finally be able to rise above the food chain after YEARS of being at the bottom," Lord Eldoon
"Sorry, to break it to ya pal, but TADANO DOESN'T GIVE UP SO EASILY" Tadano
"In that case, just DIE!" Lord Eldoon
Lord Eldoon swings down his whip, weaves it, rolls up into a ball, and launches at him. Lord Eldoon flips over Tadano, swings his whip, wrapping Tadano with it, then flings him away. Tadano flies, bounces off a building, and begins flying towards Lord Eldoon like a bullet. Lord Eldoon lashes Tadano, causing him to unfold, tumble, and crash to the ground.
Tadano tries to get up. Lord Eldoon wraps his whips around Tadano and clenches them, causing them to burst into yellow flames and begin to burn Tadano's skin.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Tadano
"THAT'S RIGHT! SUFFER!" Lord Eldoon
Hiro, with a black eye, dives in from above and punches Lord Eldoon away, causing him to release Tadano. Hiro helps Tadano onto his feet. Tadano smiles, rubbing his burn marks.
"Thanks, lil' man." Tadano
"Save your kisses for later, soldier. We have a job to finish." Hiro
The duo looks at Lord Eldoon as he rises to his feet with narrowed eyes, clenched fists, and their bandanas flying uncontrollably with the speeding wind. Lord Eldoon looks back at them with narrowed eyes and growls.
" Let's take him out," Hiro
The duo dash towards as Lord Eldoon begins swinging his noodles uncontrollably at them. Tadano and Hiro weave, dodge, and slide their way through the swings, then simultaneously punch away. Tadano catches him by his whips, swings him around like a tornado, and flings him away, and Hiro flips over Tadano and hurls an egg towards Lord Eldoon. As the egg reaches Lord Eldoon's face, his eyes widen. He explodes into massive green flames.
"GOOD RIDDANCE!" Tadano
" AMEN! GIVE ME SOME FUR!" Hiro
Tadano and Hiro high-five. Tadano glances ahead; his eyes widen at the sight of the hundreds of people roaming through Times Square.
"SHOOT! We're almost at Times Square; the bombs gonna go off!" Tadano
"Not on my three chest feathers! Tadano, throw me and get off, PRONTO!" Hiro
Tadano picks up Hiro and hurls him far ahead of the Truck. Hiro tumbles onto the road, onto his feet pulls out an egg and flings it at the incoming truck. Tadano leaps off the truck as the front of the truck explodes into a massive ball of green flames that causes the truck to fly up into the air, fly over Hiro, tumble across the road, and crash-land onto its side. The people in the area begin to run away from the scene, screaming. The truck further explodes into green flames. Tadano rushes towards Hiro.
"YOU OKAY!?" Tadano
"Never better!" Hiro
Tadano chuckles.
"Looks like we saved the day again." Tadano
Sirens begin echoing from afar.
"And just in time, let's move out!" Hiro
The duo runs off into a dark alley as multiple police cruisers drift into the scene.
Moments later, the duo is back in their disguises with a crate face to face with Mr. Uzui.
"Here you go, Mr. Uzui, a full crate of fish that should last half a month," Tadano
Tadano hands the crate to Mr. Uzui, putting a smile on his face.
"Sorry, it's only half of what you lost, was as much as we could recover from those thieves' warehouse," Tadano
"I don't know how you boys did it, but THANK YOU! Thank you so very much," Mr. Uzui
"Hey, now, what did you expect? We are your most loyal customers after all," Hiro
"Yes, you are! And I have a reward for you." Mr. Uzui
Mr. Uzui enters his restaurant and comes back out with two packaged bowls of soup.
"It's not fish, unfortunately, but it is good, I promise," Mr. Uzui
The duo takes the bowls. Hiro sniffs it.
"MMM, smells good too, what is it?" Hiro
"My late grandma's favourite cuisine....DUCK SOUP," Mr. Uzui
Tadano looks at the man with widened eyes as Hiro looks at him with an eye twitching.
"WHAT THE FU..." Hiro
