Angel: Well, some of you were hoping that their friends would be in space. I mean, I was sad too, and it was my idea.

From Clare: This chapter was awesome. First we have the OCs return, Mark and Karai kiss finally with Jared watching it oh boy was he mad, Kevin, Ann, and Mark fighting subprime twice, more Mona Lisa, Amy seeing Ann, Kevin, and Mark again and saving them, finding out more about Amy's past, the epic battles and to top it all of Mona and Ann fight! And leave on a cliff hanger where we see Lily and Jamie again. But I'm surprised that Mark's powers getting slightly drained wasn't edriced again I mean if subprime can do that to Mark, couldn't he do that to Amy too?

Angel: Mark got his powers back, it was just off-screen. And I forgot to type that, didn't I? *smacks forehead* There's just so much action and drama that I keep forgetting an important detail! I'm so forgetful lately…

From Guest: Wow, that was great, keep updating it was really awesome.

Jamie: Okay, how old are you?

Angle: (Eats lots of candy)

Karai: I'm not good with kids (continues reading) you guys can do whatever you want

Lily: Whoooooo!

Jamie: Karai you not helping!

Everyone: *laughs*

Jamie: Yep, that's exactly what happened. And Karai didn't get payed.

Angel: You weren't getting paid at all.

Jamie: …Oh. CASEY!

From Monty G: Oooh snap! Ann is a savage! But I kinda understand since I've been in her position before and Kevin's too, though I didn't just go and deck her straight in the face!

The Cosmic Ocean


Flashback from when Amy sees Lily and Jamie…

"Jamie! Lily!" Amy exclaims, hugging them. "Amy!" they squeal, hugging her. Karai and Angle step out and they smile. Angle hugs Amy. "We missed you guys!" she shouts. "We missed you, too," April answers, smiling. Everyone reunites while Fugitoid, Mona Lisa, and Sal Commander watch with a smile. "LILY!" Mikey screams. "Mikester!" she yells happily, and Mikey KISSES her! Everyone's mouths fly open. "Lily, I l-love you," Mikey whispers. "Aww, I love you too, Mikey…" she whispers. "Yay!" April and Amy cheer.

They had decided that their friends would stay with the Salamandrians, with the promise that they would contact each other every day. The Turtles, Fugitoid, April, Amy, and Casey walk into their ship but not before waving to their friends.

Leo and I sit in front of Sensei, who was making us tea. "Leonardo, what is it that troubles you, my son?" Splinter asks. "Sensei. We've faced defeat before, but we've always managed to fight back and overcome it. This is different. We've got one chance to save the Earth. If we don't get the second piece of the black hole generator, we've lost everything. And it'll be on me," Leo explains. I take his hand with my eyes were closed. "You must not give in to despair. You all must remain diligent to save the Earth, Splinter answers. "But, Sensei, what if we can't?" Leo asks and Splinter holds out cups of tea to us.

We take them and look at him. "You must hold on to hope. And with that hope, you must lead by example. You are all truly worthy heroes. And no matter what may come, you have all made me very proud," Splinter tells us with a smile. We smile back and bow. "Hai, Sensei," we answer. Everything disappears, including the tea. Leo sighs, closing his eyes. "I miss him too, Leo Bear," I whisper. Leo hugs me and I hug him back. "At least I have you," he whispers in my ear.


Leo and I walk to the bridge, where the others have a conversation. "In a way, they are talking to the real Splinter, at least your memories of him. The simulator is psychic, and can respond-" Raph crosses his arms. "It's not the same thing, Fugitoid!" Raph exclaims before the door closes, revealing us. Our eyes widen. "Hey, how's it going, Leo, Ice princess?" Casey asks as we walk past them. Raph hits him in the back. "Amelia, Leonardo, you've arrived just in time!" Fugitoid tells us. "For what?" Leo asks. "My friends, I present to you the Cosmic Ocean of Varuna!" Fugitoid exclaims and we see an ocean-like planet, making us gasp.

"It's so beautiful," April comments as Mikey's eyes sparkle. Leo takes my hand and smiles at me. I smile back at him. "A vast interstellar liquid nebula in a region of space unlike any other in the universe," Fugitoid explains. Leo and I look out the window before turning to the others. "What are we waiting for?" Leo asks with a smile. "Let's do this!" I exclaim happily. I can't wait to see this place! We warp to the planet.

We appear in front of Varuna. "Here we are. Do keep in mind that I have no idea whether our computer systems will work or if we can even survive once we enter the nebula. Here we go!" Fugitoid tells us, pressing a button. Wait, WHAT did he just say? We protest, but he keeps moving the ship forward. I hate it when he does that… The ship turns pitch-black and an alarm blares. "Whoa!" I exclaim. "Everyone, hold on!" Fugitoid exclaims, turning the power back on. We start to float. Leo and Donnie give each other a high three while Raph and Mikey cheer. April and I bump hips together with a smile.

"Whoa!" Casey exclaims in awe, looking up. "Varuna is the home of the Daagon Ancient beings and allies of the Utrom, who have been entrusted to protect the second black hole generator fragment," Fugitoid explains. "Let's hope they did a better job than the Aeons," Raph replies. I stand up slowly and walk up to the window. I press my hands on the glass as I look around. "I have never seen anything so beautiful in my life…" I murmur. "I have," Leo mutters. I look at him. "What?" I ask. "Nothing!" he exclaims, blushing. I raise an eyebrow before looking back at the window. I see red seaweed that gave off electricity. "Look out for that crazy electric seaweed!" Raph exclaims. "No need to fret. I'll have us through in 2 minutes and 20 seconds!" Fugitoid exclaims.

I see creatures staring at us as we float by them. "Fugitoid, I know the Daagon are the Utrom's allies, but can we really count on them to help us?" Leo asks as we put on our space gear. We start to leave the ship to talk to them. "The Daagon are an ancient, noble, honorable amphibian race. So…I hope so?" he replies as the Daagon surround our ship. Leo steps forward. "Uh, greetings! We would like to talk to you about-" The one in front screeches and his soldiers grab us. "Back off, mer-dudes!" Mikey exclaims. "Amelia!" Fugitoid shouts to me. I whistle with my fingers and when they look at me, I hold up a silver ball. "Stop! This is the sigil of the Utrom!" I exclaim. They look up at the ball and bow. I sigh in relief.


We float on sea creatures with the Daagon, looking around in awe. I sit with Leo and Fugitoid. "Wonderful, isn't it?" I ask Leo as I look. "Yes…but you'll always be a beautiful sight to me," he whispers. I blush and he chuckles. We enter a bubble and we take off our helmets, since there was air in here. I see a woman whose legs are wrapped around a surface. Her hair was white and her skin was blue. "Who enters the realm seeking audience with Hiidrala, supreme ruler of the Daagon?" she asks. She's the ruler?! We all kneel. "Uh, greetings, Supreme Ruler! My name is Leonardo. And these are my companions," he answers, gesturing to us. "What up?" Mikey asks, looking up. Raph hits him in the head without looking. "Ow!" Mikey exclaims.

I hold up the sigil of the Utrom. "We come bearing the sigil of the Utrom!" I shout. "We seek the fragment of the black hole generator that you have in your possession," Fugitoid finishes. She turns around to us. "You may rise," she tells us and we stand up. "Thank you, your Majesty," April says. "The Utrom entrusted the fragment to me, giving Hiidrala ultimate say over it. Are you truly worthy to claim such a device of such devastating power? Who among you is leader?" Hiidrala answers. Leo narrows his eyes and steps forward. "You? You are a mere child. How are you worthy?" Hiidrala says.

"We may be young, but we've fought huge battles, saved whole planets, and on top of everything else, we saw the destruction of our world!" Leo explains. "We've been given a second chance to save Earth. We're gonna destroy the black hole generator," Donnie finishes. "Ha! It cannot be destroyed. Why do you think it was hidden away?" Hiidrala answers. "If you keep it, the Triceratons WILL find it," I say. "They'll tear your kingdom apart to get it," Leo points out. "If you desire the fragment, you must face Cthugga, an ancient beast that obeys only me. If you are indeed worthy, it will sense this and let you take it freely. If you are not, it will devour you whole," Hiidrala explains.

I gulp nervously. We'll be what now? "As long as we're swallowed whole and not chomped to pieces, I think we're cool, dudes," Mikey whispers. I look at him in disbelief. "Huh. Been there, done that," Casey replies. I roll my eyes. "We can take this Cthugga. Let's do this!" Raph says, giving Donnie a high three. Oh boy…


We fly to a dark area of Varuna. "Understand me when I say Cthugga is one of the six cosmic monsters you do not want to mess with!" Fugitoid warns us. Trust me, I already know… "Man, I wonder what the monster's gonna look like?" Mikey asks himself. "Hmm. No. Probably not. Yep, that's it! Mikey, you're so good," Mikey replies with a smile. I don't even want to know… "What do you guys suppose it means to be truly worthy?" Leo asks, recalling our conversation with Hiidrala. "We all have good, noble hearts. That has to count for something," April answers. True…it's because of our noble hearts that we're here in the first place…

Something crashes into our ship, making us fall to the floor. You know, we always seem to encounter something during times like these! "What hit us?" Leo asks. "It's ramming us again! Brace yourselves!" Fugitoid exclaims before we fall to the floor again. I pull up the outside camera to see… "Oh, no! Armaggon!" I shout. This guy again? I thought he was destroyed with Overmind! "Yes! He's like my favorite bad guy ever!" Casey exclaims. I look at him in disbelief. "The hull's been breached!" Fugitoid yells. "Arming defensive systems now," Donnie tells us. We fire at the space shark, but he dodges all of our lasers. "He's too fast, dudes!" Mikey screams. Purple liquid starts to sink inside the ship. "Oh, my! We're beginning to take on liquid. Activating the forward drain!" Fugitoid says before the water drains out. I sigh in relief before Armaggon storms inside, making me crash to the wall.

"Amy!" everyone shouts. Armaggon grabs me. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? Looks like the whole entrée!" Armaggon says, laughing as everyone takes out their weapons. Armaggon lifts my head up to his mouth. "One more step, and I chomp this chump's head clean off! All right, kiddies, put your little weapons down now!" he threatens. I gasp and look at my friends. "Guys, don't do it! Please!" I plead. "Shut up!" Armaggon shouts, slamming me to the ground. I wince as I feel a pain in my side. Leo looks at them before throwing his blaster on the ground. The others follow him. No…"I been spying on you Turtles for a long time, and ol' Armaggon knows what you're up to," he explains.

"What are you talkin' about, Finhead?" Raph asks. "I know you got the first piece of the black hole generator. And now you're gonna get me the second piece. Is that a great plan or what?" he demands, pushing my face to the ground. Leo growls at him. "Oh, bleep," Fugitoid comments. Armaggon turns to his wrist communicator. "Well, Dregg, not only did I get me some Turtles, I got the first piece of your black hole toy!" Armaggon tells Dregg. "Excellent work, Armaggon. You've most certainly redeemed yourself for all of your past screw-ups," I hear from Lord Dregg.

I look up to see Armaggon frowning. "You know what? I'm quadrulpin' my fee," Armaggon retorts. "You arrogant-" Armaggon hangs up before Lord Dregg can scold him further. "Aww, snap. It cracks me up when the bad guys bust on each other," Mikey whispers. "Totally," Casey whispers. "Not the time," April tells them with a glare. "All right, get this hunk of junk moving," Armaggon orders. Raph jumps in his seat. "Stupid bossy shark," Raph mutters. Armaggon didn't hear it, but I did. And I have to say, I approve.

"Fascinating! An entire planetesimal system in the depths of an oceanic nebula," Donnie comments. "The wonders of the universe never cease," Fugitoid replies. "Will you two nerds shut up already?" Armaggon asks angrily. I growl at him and he punches me in the eye. "Stop hurting her!" Leo growls. Armaggon smirks and slams my head, making me fall to the ground. I wince and I cover my eye. "We're here. The cave of Cthugga," Fugitoid explains. It was pretty dark…I can barely see anything… "Armaggon, the only way we can get the piece is to prove we're worthy," Leo explains. "Yeah, and with you on the ship and holding our sister hostage, I'd say we now fall into the definitely-not-worthy-to-face-Cthugga category," Donnie points out.

"I'm the one calling the shots here. So move!" Armaggon answers. "Leave them alone!" I shout. Armaggon kicks me in the stomach and I groan. Leo lunges for Armaggon, but the others stop him. "I swear Armaggon, one more time and I will not hesitate to hurt you," Leo threatens. "Yeah, yeah. Move it!" Armaggon orders. April closes her eyes and presses her hands to her head. "I'm sensing a huge, powerful presence inside," she explains. All I see is darkness…I close my eyes and I sense something HUGE. "Getting closer. Closer," she tells us. I see a giant sea monster with tentacles and fangs. We all scream. "Now would be the time to retreat!" Fugitoid exclaims as we start to fly away.

"Well, at least we know we're not worthy!" Mikey shouts as we dodge a tentacle. That doesn't make me feel better… "You wanna survive this? You gotta let my sister go!" Raph tells Armaggon. He looks at me before throwing me to Leo. "Ames…" Leo whispers, holding me close. I was bruised all over… "Fugitoid, we need more speed!" Leo orders. "I'm giving it all she's got, captain!" Fugitoid answers in a British voice, making us look at him. "Sorry, I couldn't resist," he replies sheepishly. "Oh. I'm gonna be seasick," Raph says before throwing up near Armaggon. "The ship's gonna be torn apart!" Donnie exclaims as we are being chased. We manage to hide behind a rock as Cthugga crashes into one that we dodged. I shiver as I feel the creature nearby. "M-Maybe if I…" Leo whispers, starting to do hand gestures. Is he doing what I think he's doing?

"Rin. Pyo. Toh. Sha. Zai. Retsu. Zen," Leo whispers, putting his hands on my body. I close my eyes, feeling myself getting stronger. I sigh before looking up at Leo. "Thanks," I whisper. He smiles down at me. "Anytime," he answers, kissing my forehead. "It's gone," April tells us. I sigh in relief before the lights turn back on. "Phew! What a rush, eh, Turtles? Really got my heart goin'!" Armaggon says before he is electrocuted. I raise an eyebrow and the space shark falls, revealing the Daagon Captain behind him! "Take him to the dungeon!" the Daagon Captain orders. "Busted!" Mikey exclaims. "Looks like it's off to aquarium jail!" Raph retorts with a smile. I smile as well, since I deem this punishment for using me as a hostage.

"Thanks, Captain. Hey, wait. How did you know we were in trouble?" Donnie replies. That's true, there's no way they could have known about us being in trouble. "As soon as Armaggon hijacked the Ulixes, I secretly sent out a S.O.S, knowing that the honorable Daagon would come to our aid," Fugitoid explains. Leo punches one of the stations in anger. "Leo, ya can't blame yourself," Raph tells him. "There's no way Hiidrala will think we're worthy now! You can kiss that piece of the black hole generator goodbye!" Leo exclaims. Raph, April, and I give each other a sad look.


We arrive at Hiidrala's palace again, and Armaggon appears next to us, his arms chained. "This is all your fault," I hiss. Armaggon growls at me and Leo pulls me closer to him, away from the space shark. "I will not allow criminal scum to desecrate my ocean paradise. You will pay for your crimes, Armaggon! And you…you have all failed," Hiidrala tells us, and I catch Leo flinching at the word 'failed.' "You could not even stop this vile thief, much less pass the test," she finishes. "That ain't fair!" Casey explains. "Please, Supreme Ruler, give us another chance," Leo replies before Armaggon starts laughing for no reason.

"Insolent fool! Explain to me what is it you find so funny!" Hiidrala demands. "I'm laughin' because…reinforcements are here," he answers. I raise an eyebrow. What does he mean by…? We look up to see Daagon fall to the floor, defeated. I gasp. More Daagon fall and I see two purple arms throw away two Daagon. I hear a laugh and we see Lord Dregg emerging. "Oh, no. Lord Dregg," Donnie replies. He jumps down above us, his Vreen army around him. "Hiidrala! You have something I desire. And I intend to take it. Hand over the black hole generator piece, or I'll start fileting you one by one!" he demands.

"Lord Dregg. I know who you are: lowlife gangster and wretched fiend!" Hiidrala replies. "I am ruler of Sectoid 1! My consumption knows no end! You will give me what I desire, or I and my children shall feast upon you all!" Lord Dregg answers. I gag a bit. "You will have to face me first, bug!" Hiidrala exclaims. We stand in front of her. "You're gonna have to go through us, too!" Leo says. "So be it! Vreen! Attack!" Lord Dregg orders. Vreen jump down to us. "Take 'em down!" Leo tells us. "Daagon, to battle!" Hiidrala orders.

I pull out my katana and I pierce it through a Vreen. I see a spider hand crawl over to Armaggon, which sets him free. OH no… "Payback time, you puny half-shells!" Armaggon exclaims. "Shut your jaws, or I'll shut 'em for ya!" Raph shouts. "Yeah, you heard him, Arma-goon! Bring it!" Mikey yells before Armaggon grabs him by the mouth, shaking him back and forth. "Dudes! He's snacking on me!" Mikey exclaims. Donnie charges towards Dregg, who knocks him out in just a few hits. "Donnie!" Leo screams, charging at Dregg, but he's knocked out too. "Insolent insect!" Hiidrala shouts, grabbing Lord Dregg with her hair that can move in all directions. She shocks him. "You will pay for that!" Dregg yells and covers her mouth with his spider hand. "Now it ends!" Lord Dregg says, readying his chest rocket.

I gasp. "No!" Leo yells, running towards them. I start running as well. I knew what he was going to do, and I was not going to let this happen. Leo jumps in front of the rocket and I jump in front of him, making an ice shield in front of us. The rocket crashes into my shield, making Leo and I fall to the floor. Hiidrala narrows her eyes and screeches, making me cover my ears in pain. I wait, but then nothing happens. "What?" Hiidrala asks, looking around. I place a finger on my chin in thought and then I snap my fingers, forming an idea. I use my mist to float up to her and I whisper in her ear, everyone watching. Hiidrala says nothing before turning to me. "Perhaps we can try," she answers and I smile.

She screams again and I start to sing, our voices echoing throughout the palace. I hear a rumble before I see Cthugga's tentacles coming into the room. Donnie drops his scanner in shock. It grabs Lord Dregg and Armaggon, making him drop Mikey. "Let us go, you freak!" Armaggon shouts, biting on the tentacle that trapped him. Cthugga then eats the two before swimming away. "Aww, yeah. That was awesome!" Casey says before the Vreen start to leave. "What the heck?" Casey asks. "They just stopped fighting?" April asks. "The Vreen are a hive mind. They can't function autonomously. They need Dregg," Donnie answers.

I run to Leo and Hiidrala helps him up. "How are you, Leonardo and Amelia?" Hiidrala asks. "A little shell-shocked. Ugh, but we're okay," Leo answers. "Are you hurt, ma'am?" I ask. "I am unharmed, thanks to the two of you. You all fought to protect our kingdom. For that you have our deepest gratitude, especially mine. Leonardo, your actions validate the truth of your words. The second fragment of the black hole generator is yours," Hiidrala explains, and the Daagon bring out the piece. "Supreme Ruler, I don't understand," Leo answers. "The guardian was only a test. I have kept the second fragment contained in the palace vaults ever since the Utrom entrusted us with its safety. And now I entrust it to you two," she explains.

We smile at her. "If you claim you can destroy this infernal machine, then the Daagon honor you," Hiidrala explains. Donnie nudges us, Raph gives me a noogie, and Mikey slaps Leo's shoulder. "Thank you, your Majesty," I say, bowing to her. "The Utrom spoke highly of you, Amelia. They were true to their word. I thought only I could summon the Cthugga…but it seems he sensed something special in you. I sense it too," Hiidrala tells me. I smile at her again.


"All systems are fully functional," Donnie explains. We see the Daagon outside. "Thanks for the repairs, mer-dudes! Keep it real in the field, yo!" Mikey exclaims. I roll my eyes before waving to the Daagon. They bow to me and swim away. "Two fragments down, one to go!" Casey replies. "So, Professor, can you really destroy the generator fragments?" Raph asks. "That's the plan. I just need to figure out how to do it. Heh," Fugitoid answers. The others give him a look and I slap my forehead. We start to fly away. "That was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I'm actually gonna miss it," April says. "Well, I'm not gonna miss Bughead and Shark-Mouth, that's for sure," Raph retorts.

I wouldn't count on that…

I sit next to Leo in his station. No one saw it, but I did. Leo flinched at the word failure. As the leader, that must be a tense word for him. I hug Leo and he looks at me. "You're not a failure and you never will be. I love you," I whisper. He chuckles and hugs me. "You're amazing. And I love you, too," he whispers back.

And this time, he didn't flinch.


The electrical seaweed that Raph warned about was referenced from an underwater level in the 1989 TMNT video game for the NES. Fugitoid's reference to how fast he could make it through (two minutes, twenty seconds) is the time limit given in that stage.

The image Mikey thinks up in which he imagines what Cthugga would look like, is character art of the Archie version of Ray Fillet.

The Cosmic Ocean of Varuna bears a strong resemblance to Otoh Gunga from the Star Wars franchise.
