"What Goes Around, Comes Around" Ninja High School#43 (November 1994) with credits to Herb Mallette (script) Ben Dunn (art), Mike Sagara (letters), and Herb Mallette (editor)
Sammi is mooing as she mops the floor. Her uncle knows what's wrong-it's a girl! When Sammi makes it clear it's boy, well, his reaction is a bit much (although clearly presented as wrong).
Back at the Y Mansion, Destructo is gone! He left a note, said he going to chat with Barney. The Y-Men assemble! Except for Windstorm. Flying in the halls is a serious offense, so he's in detention.
As Sammi bikes away, she does grumble about how unfair things are. Seeing the Y-Men flying off in their sky cycle, she opts to follow them. Barney notices them too, but he's rebuilt his junk robot.
Barney declares himself Scrap Metal Man right after shooting down the Y-Men. Sammi makes it clear she's there to help, plus her mastery of Ramen-jitsu means she hold her own. They easily tear through his defenses and make their way inside the yard.
Destructo unveils what he has done; not sure what it is but nuclear warning sign over the front doesn't suggest anything good. Even as the Y-Men plead, Destructo points out his nature is to destroy, so something must be destroyed today. He inserts the final piece, and the room goes white...
The Y-Men and Sammi are alive! Yeah, the only one who died was Destructo. The team is sad, if only they had tried to deal with his nature of instead of trying to change it. Sammi, however, gets an idea.
Meeting Leatherwings (now called Richard for some reason), Sammi shows up in a dress and yeah, she makes it clear she's a woman. Richard takes it rather well and they decide that friendship would be fine.
A good enough ending.
