After the strange phenomenon of mysterious mystic oozesquitoes flying around, biting and mutating unsuspecting humans, your partner and boss Mezmer-Ron had been bitten and mutated into a hippo. He fell into a life of crime and thievery as a result of his unfortunate transformation but you didn't mind. You stuck by him and he will forever be grateful for that.

You and Hypno walk downheartedly throughout the dark alleyways of New York. Heads hung in defeat after your mission to steal Harry Houdini's journals from the Magic Town House had been foiled by the Ninja Turtles.

"Blasted turtles always getting in our way." Hypno scoffed as you two leaned against a wall to take a break. He looked over to you, his lovely loyal assistant and noticed your magicians hat had been scuffed. The hippo politely takes it off your head and fixes it before gently setting it upon your head again.

"There you are, dear."
