Hi everyone. Thank you again for your patience, I was on vacation with my grandparents at Myrtle Beach and I couldn't write anything. But now that I'm back, I can finally get started on what is arguably the most fun episode of the Space arc for TMNT. So without further delay, let us begin.
The Weird World of Wyrm
It was dark within a small man-made dojo as the four Turtles dropped down from the ceiling, followed by Karai as well as Elsa. The Turtles didn't have their space suits on and bore their traditional weapons as opposed to the more advanced ones the Fugitoid game them. Karai had her dark purple space suit on, though the top was off and tied around her waist, exposing a short-sleeved black under shirt. Elsa still had her suit on as she quickly created a pair of short ice-blades in her hands as all six of them circled up.
"I don't know, looks empty guys." Raph observed.
Leo held his katana tightly. "We're not alone here. I can feel it."
Elsa felt the same thing as she felt something coming from behind. "Everyone duck!" The group ducked their heads just as a certain mutant zoomed above them and clung to a trophy case.
"Rahzar!" Leo exclaimed as the terrifying dog mutant laughed and brandished his claws.
Karai drew her blade and was ready to attack. "That makes two of us!" She heard as she ducked out of the way to avoid a large punch from the same mutant's previous appearance.
"Dogpound?" Donnie questioned.
"That's Dogpound?" Elsa questioned. "Yeah, Rahzar is scarier." She said, not really impressed by Dogpound's appearance. However, right as she said that she heard a third identical voice coming from behind her.
"Chris Bradford fact number forty-eight. Chris Bradford always carries around four weapons of mass destruction." Elsa couldn't react quickly enough as she was quickly punched and kicked back. "His arm and his legs."
"Aw snap! Chris Bradford!" Mikey exclaimed as Bradford, Dogpound, and Rahzar gathered together.
"Wow, all three of them at the same time!" Donnie exclaimed.
"This is… Awesome!" Karai stated with an eager grin.
Rahzar leapt at the group, forcing them to disperse. Leo used his swords to block the claw strike while Karai came in from behind with her own sword and swung at Rahzar, forcing him on the defensive.
"Bring it Dogpound!" Raph challenged the larger dog-mutant as he swung his sais, which Dogpound blocked with his larger fist. He quickly grabbed Raph and pinned him down on the floor, but Dogboud felt a slice at his side as Elsa came in with her ice-swords, forcing him to let go of Raph.
"Booyakasha!" Mikey leapt in the air with a kick at Bradford. However, Bradford blocked it by crossing both his arms and while Mikey was still airborne, Bradford delivered a series of punches before driving a kick to knock Mikey back.
"Mikey!" Donnie tried to come in from behind as Bradford tried to kick the purple-clad Turtle, but Donnie was able to block it with his staff.
"Come on guys, don't hold back!" Leo stated as he and Karai rushed at Rahzar with their blades. However this was a feint as Karai swept her legs to knock Rahzar off her feet, and while he was in the air, Leo sliced past him, causing him to fall limp onto the ground.
Elsa threw both her ice-swords at Dogpound, but he swung his massive fist to shatter them and charged at her. But Elsa was already prepared as she erected a powerful ice-wall to block him.
"Raph! NOW!" Elsa yelled as Raph was at the top of the ice-wall, leaping down with both his sais and impaling Dogpound's face. But it didn't end there as a long ice-spear shot out from the wall, causing it to shatter and reveal Elsa as the culprit, as it impaled Dogpound.
Donnie twirled his staff to knock Bradford's feet off his staff, allowing Mikey to come in with a yell. Bradford tried to punch him, but Mikey turned his back, forcing Bradford to hit his shell, causing his hand to ache in pain before Mikey jumped up and finished it with an air-born double-kick to send Bradford flying.
"Bradford's out!" Mikey declared in victory.
Karai breathed a sigh in satisfaction as Rahzar's, Dogbound's, and Bradford's 'bodies' all faded away in a grid-like patter, revealing them to be holograms. "Even though they weren't real, that still felt good."
"They certainly fight like the real Bradford though, that much is certain." Elsa added as the dojo faded away in the same manner, revealing the whole thing to be nothing more than the Fugitoid's training deck onboard the Ulixies.
Raph shrugged. "Eh, not bad for holograms." He said as they began to leave the training deck where Honeycutt, Anna, April, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf all greeted them.
"Now that looked like fun." Anna commented.
"Yeah, three Bradfords for the price of one holo-trainer." April added.
"I was rooting for you all the way!" Olaf cheered.
Kristoff smirked. "Maybe we should give that thing a try, eh Sven?"
"Read my mind buddy." Sven shared his friend's smirk.
"Oh you'd love it!" Donnie told them as the group sat down on some nearby benches. "Solid holograms, ingenious!"
Karai shrugged a bit. "Eh, it felt a little off. Just didn't have the same feeling as fighting real people."
"Guessing after years of something like that, you notice that sort of thing, right?" Elsa guessed.
"Something like that." Karai replied.
"If you would like Karai, I can program a rematch where your opponents break bones." Fugitoid offered.
Karai actually looked like she was contemplating that scenario. "Hmm, maybe."
"I could probably use something like that to." Elsa said, surprising most of the group.
"Seriously?! You want people to break your bones?!" Anna exclaimed.
"Well no, I don't want my bones broken!" Elsa quickly replied. "It's just, it feels good… in a way that I can actually use my powers without worrying about killing someone. So it gives me the chance to find better ways of using them in a fight."
The group seemed to understand what she was getting at. "Well, okay, just try not to push yourself too hard." Leo advised.
Mikey, Casey, and Olaf were all at a capsule-like device at the end of the room as an opening came out from the top and a suction-cup-like tool made its way toward Casey's forehead.
"My mighty mental powers command: a giant, double-meat, all-meat, burger meal!" The door in front of Casey opened to reveal a burger meal one would get at a fast food restaurant on Earth, causing Mikey and Olaf to gasp in wonder.
"We can make magic food!" Olaf climbed ontop of a chair as the same device attached to his head. "Please make me a really big ice-cream-cake!" In the same manner, a door opened to reveal an ice-cream cake, nearly identical to the one from Anna's birthday party, which Olaf was quick to begin eating.
"Dude! I love the think-a-food-machine! It's like way less than 30-minutes-or-less!" Mikey sat down as he began to 'think' his own food just like Olaf and Casey. However, the product he received looked like garbage mixed with raw sewage, but Mikey ate it all the same.
Casey cringed in disgust. "Ugh! What is wrong with you Mikey!?" Even Olaf looked disturbed as he cautiously backed away.
Honeycutt walked towards Leo as he sat down with everyone else. "And we're you satisfied with the holo-training Leonardo?"
"Yeah, Fugitoid, it was cool and all." Leo said before getting to the important subject on everyone's minds. "It's just… we have six months to find the pieces of the Black Hole device before the Triceratons find them."
"That's right." Anna agreed. "Hey Raph, did you get a message from your girlfriend Mona Lisa if she found them?"
Though he could easily detect the teasing in her question, he answered with a serious expression. "Nada, guess they're having as much trouble as we are."
"I'm not surprised." Elsa said. "Given the Utroms hid the pieces away specifically to keep them away from the likes of the Triceratons and the Kraang, it only makes sense they'd be difficult to find." She turned towards the Fugitoid. "Professor Honeycutt, are we still tracking the Triceraton mother ship?"
The Fugitoid's robotic face had a blank expression, as he didn't answer the question.
"Uh… professor…. Are you alright?" Anna asked.
"…. Okay, okay! Big oops!" The Fugitoid exclaimed, as he quickly looked nervous. "I may have… possibly… lost… the Triceratons…"
That caused the group to either gasp in fear or look in anger.
"What?! You lost them?!" Karai questioned in anger. "What kind of scientist are you?!"
"You seen the size of that ship!?" Kristoff also exclaimed. "How do you loose something like that?!"
The group's attention was quickly caught by a series of alarms. "What's that?" Sven asked.
"A distress signal!" Donnie answered.
In less than a few minutes, the group ran to the bridge and they each took their respective stations as they caught view of the source of the signal. Some form of space craft in the middle of an asteroid field, but it was difficult to make out.
"Is it the Triceratons?" April asked.
"I don't think so. They're not the type to call for help." Sven noted.
The Fugitoid began to enhance the focus to give the crew a better view of the ship. "The distress call is coming from this ship." It had the appearance of a rocket that was broken complete in half.
"Whoa… that's some serious damage." Kristoff noted in surprise.
"Is there anyone still alive down there?" Elsa asked.
"Hard to tell." Donnie answered as he worked at his station. "I'm getting a lot of weird interference."
"Everyone gear up." Leo ordered the group. "We're getting a closer look."
"Aye-aye captain!" Sven saluted.
"Space rescue mission?" Casey questioned before he played an 'air-guitar'. "That is so heavy metal!"
After getting their space-suits on; Leo and Elsa led Raph, Anna, Kristoff, Mikey, Donnie, Olaf, April, Karai, Casey, and Sven into the asteroid field and toward the derelict ship. It wasn't too difficult to enter given the massive hole left from being split in half.
"Look at the size of all this." Leo noted in slight amazement as they hovered toward the opening.
"You think the asteroids did all this?" Elsa asked.
"Damage like this? I don't think so." Donnie replied as he and everyone else activated their gravi-boosters to stick their feet onto the ground of the ship.
As the group walked inside, Donnie activated his staff's scanner. "The hole looks like it was blasted from the inside out. Weird."
"Could there have been some sort of accident?" Kristoff asked.
"Maybe they were attacked from the inside." Raph guessed. "Or maybe the crew did it."
"Hello!" Anna called. "Anyone here?!"
"Don't be afraid!" Olaf called as well. "We're all friends! We can help you! Maybe give you some warm hugs to make you feel better!" Before anyone could respond, Olaf accidentally walked into a floating space suit, containing a dead body, causing him to scream and leap towards Elsa who caught him as she and everyone else had horrified expressions, upon looking upward at a large assortment of dead bodies.
"Are… are these guys all…?" Anna stuttered.
"I think so…" Elsa nodded, feeling both frightened and sad at all those who lost their lives here.
"Sadly, there's no one left." Honeycutt told them via their radio. "My sensors detect, no one alive onboard that ship."
"What could have happened here?" Karai wondered as the group walked deeper into the ship.
"I don't know and I don't want to know." Sven replied.
April shivered a bit as she held her arms. "So eerie. It's like a horror movie waiting to happen. I don't have to be psychic to get a bad feeling about this place."
"I have a bad feeling to." Casey said as he floated past all of them, lying on his back. "Like this is totally boring! I wish something non-boring would happen!"
Right as Casey said that, he saw a faint glow coming from the end of the hallway. As he floated towards it, the group found themselves distracted by Mikey.
"I got it! I bet they blew up the ship because of squirrelnoids!"
"Really Mikey?" Kristoff questioned as he slapped his hand on his helmet. "I mean… really?!"
"That idea is so stupid it makes my head blow up!" Raph was in agreement.
As they talked, Casey floated to the source of the glow: a large cube-like object emitting a faint cyan-colored glow. Whatever it was, it had the young delinquent almost in a trance.
"What's this…?" As he looked at it, he felt a hand creep on his shoulder.
"HISSS!" Karai jumped at him, sporting her serpent-face and tongue, causing him to scream and stumble with the cube before straightening himself out as Karai snickered at her joke.
"Awe, don't tell me the big-bad-Casey is scared." She teased as everyone gathered towards him.
Elsa noticed what he was holding "Hey uh Casey, what do you have there?"
"It's mine!" Casey coveted it to himself.
Olaf floated towards Casey as he held the mysterious cube closer. "It's glowing… it's kinda pretty…"
Casey shoved Olaf back. "Back off snowman!" His look faded into one of minor surprise as he noticed something behind the group. "Huh?"
Everyone turned around to see a floating spacesuit slowly floating toward them as the light in the helmet flickered on-and-off.
This sight made everyone even more uncomfortable than they already were. "Hello?" April asked as they all tensed up.
Its face suddenly lifted up to be a rotten and zombified face that gave a moaning roar; resulting in the group screaming and clinging toward one another. As she screamed, Elsa instinctively shot a bolt of her magic and froze the zombie completely. Donnie shined the light on his staff and saw that every corpse on the ship was now a zombie and looming over them.
"Wha… what the heck…?!" Kristoff uttered in total fright.
"Astro zombies…? Wicked!" Casey exclaimed, still holding the cube.
"This is no time to be an idiot Jones!" Sven exclaimed to him.
"Guys behind you!" Anna pointed behind them with horror-filled eyes as Casey, April, Raph, and Olaf turned around and saw more zombies coming in from behind.
"Lets get out of here!" Leo ordered everyone.
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Karai agreed as they made a break for it.
Leo, April, Elsa, and Anna took the lead as they pulled out their laser guns and shot at the zombies in front of them, as opposed to Elsa who mirrored their actions with hand thrusts of her ice-magic. They had successfully managed to get head-shots on all the astro-zombies near them, while Elsa's powers froze them instantly and even a few of them shattered as well as their bodies seemed so fragile.
Mikey screamed as half a zombie clung onto him. "You're not getting my brain zombie!" He exclaimed as he tried to shove it off his back by ramming his back into a wall. But the wall gave out as two more zombies tried to grab him.
Karai however was quick to propel herself towards her youngest brother with her jet-pack and decapitate all three zombies with her sword. "Considering you don't have a brain, I'd say you're safe!" She told him, resulting in him glaring as they ran with the rest of the group.
Raph jumped in the air and used his electric sais to impale the head of one astro-zombie before falling down on another and crushing its head with his feet onto the ground. "Aw snap! Chuck two up for Raph!"
Sven ran and rammed down many of the astro-zombies in front of him. His antlers even cut a few of them in half. He even grabbed one by the feet and used the zombie's body as a makeshift weapon to beat back all the zombies on his sides before tossing it away. Casey and Kristoff both ran along with Donnie as they used their respective weapons to beat back several zombies as well.
Olaf screamed as he felt two zombies playing tug-of-war with his body, only for them to be encompassed by an ice-wave as they froze, which allowed Elsa to grab him and join with everyone else.
"Thanks Elsa."
"You're welcome." She nodded only to come to a screeching halt with everyone else as a wall of zombies blocked their only exit.
"We're trapped!" Leo exclaimed.
"No we're not!" Elsa ran forward and grabbed a stray zombie-head. She didn't have time to be grossed out as she charged a great deal of magic into it, causing it to grow a bright blue before chucking it at the wall of zombies, before it exploded in a brilliant flash; causing all the nearby zombies to freeze and shatter at the same time.
"Nice! Ice Queen is so metal!" Casey exclaimed as the group activated their jet packs and flew out of the ship as fast as they could, outpacing all the remaining astro-zombies.
Anna looked back and stuck her tongue out. "See you later zombies!" However, she quickly noticed a zombie's hand crawl up on her side, causing her to scream and brush it off before jet-packing away.
The group had made it back to the Ulixies in one piece and taken off their space suits for Honeycutt to get them decontaminated. The group was now dressed in their casual attire as they talked on the bridge of the ship.
"How odd." Honeycutt noted. "There hasn't been an astro-zombie-plague in 6,000 years."
"Wait, wait, wait hold on. That kind of thing has happened before?!" Kristoff exclaimed in mild shock/horror.
"Why yes." The Fugitoid replied. "You see, when the plague began, it encompassed several planet…"
Karai quickly covered Honeycutt's mouth (or at least the part on his robotic face that looked like a mouth) with her hand. "TMI Fugitoid!"
"Excuse me?"
"To much information." Kristoff translated.
"Oh, apologies."
Donnie looked at the data acquired at his station. "That ship's been beaming a distress call for decades."
"Well I say we just get out of here and forget this whole thing ever happened." Anna shivered. "I don't think I'm gonna sleep tonight."
"Well, somebody left behind this cool looking souvenir." Casey showed the mysterious glowing cube he acquired from the ship.
Fugitoid's optics widened. "Impossible. You found a hyper cube?"
"A what now?" Leo questioned as the group looked in surprise.
"A hyper cube." Olaf walked toward Casey, who kept the cube close to him. "That's a cool name. Can I hold it?"
Before Casey could say no, Honeycutt already had his hands on it, with Casey still holding on. "Hyper cubes are keys to a higher plane where fifth dimensional beings dwell." He tried to pull it away, but Casey still held on. "I'll be keeping this for now… putting it somewhere… safe… where it cannot… be opened…!"
He pulled Casey off the railing as he still held on. "It belongs to me!"
"Chris Bradford stars as Chris Bradford in "Chris Bradford and his 2 Ruff Krew"! A Chris Bradford production."
An animated Chris Bradford was seen with a young African American boy armed with a rocket launcher. "Lil' Rineo."
A large, muscular, African American man exploded his arms outward to blow away all the ninja covering his body. "Master C."
A sumo wrestler with glasses walked out of a fast-food joint with a bucket of chicken wings. He spotted a car with evil ninja riding on top as he threw a chicken wing at it, causing it to explode as he gave a hardy laugh. "And Sumo Glen!"
The title screen popped up. "Chris Bradford and his 2 Ruff Krew!"
A live-action Chris Bradford punched out a wooden board as he narrated the episode's plot. "Evil Ninja has enlisted Fake Master: a trickster and a master of disguise, to destroy us! We've got to find him, before he finds us!"
The scene shifted back to animation as Bradford and his team have just beaten down a small army of ninja, along with them was an attractive blonde girl in Bradford's arms.
"We've run out of enemies to destroy, and none of them were Fake Master." He turned to the girl in his arms. "What should we do, Felicia?"
The girl giggled as they they kissed. Lil' Rineo's jaw dropped before Sum Glen covered his eyes as he shook his head.
The two pulled away as Bradford's eyes widened. "You've got… man breath!"
The girl giggled again. "Oh Chris, you're so tough." She pushed him down. "And kinda stupid." She said as her voice shifted to a deep male one. In cartoon-style 'Felicia' pulled off her disguise to reveal it was really a man underneath.
"It was me, all along! Fake Master!" He gave an evil laugh as he tossed the suit down.
"Felicia?!" He held the rubber suit close. "For three years, I loved a rubber suit! NOOOOOO!"
Most of the group sat on a large coach as they saw this television show. Though most had wide-eyed blank expressions at it, Mikey and Olaf seem entranced in it as they had plenty of popcorn.
"I can't believe Chris Bradford had his own show back in the 80s." Mikey said as he laughed a bit. "It's so lame, it's awesome!"
"Don't give up Chris Bradford!" Olaf told them as he walked toward the flat-holographic screen. "You'll find love one day."
"I uh… just uh…. Wow. That's just…. Wow." Elsa stuttered, not really knowing what to think.
"Did you know he did something like this?" Anna asked Karai.
"I heard he did a show. But I never got around to watching it. Suddenly I'm glad I didn't."
"Well I got a bad feeling these two knuckle heads are gonna have us watch the whole series." Sven pointed towards Mikey and Olaf, still thoroughly engaged. "Right Kristof?" He noticed his friend wasn't with them. "Kristoff?"
Raph looked around a bit as well. "Hey uh… where's Casey?"
Professor Honeycutt walked through the large engine room of his ship, which was a massive chamber that surrounded a large energy tube in the center; it had many different layers of bridges that surrounded the whole thing as well. It seemed far too advanced for any normal life form to understand. But Honeycutt wasn't here for maintenance as he had the Hyper Cube in his hands.
He walked across a bridge of floating platforms towards a compartment at the end, which opened as he put the Hyper Cube inside. "You'll be safe in here for now." He then began to walk away. As he did however, he failed to notice Casey sneaking around the corner.
"Stupid robot. It's mine! I found it, I'm supposed to open it." He walked toward the compartment which opened for him, revealing the Hyper Cube, which Casey took and looked at as though it were his 'precious'.
"What'ch ya doing Jones?"
Casey stuttered as he quickly turned around, hiding the Hyper Cube behind him to face a suspicious Kristoff who had his arms crossed.
"Oh uh.. just… checking on all the cool alien engine stuff." Casey lied.
"Hmm, mmm." Kristoff nodded sarcastically. "So, what do you have behind your back?"
"Nothing!" Casey quickly exclaimed. "Just… a snack is all."
"Really? Well, I'm kinda hungry. So you wouldn't mind if I had some?" Kristof tried to reach behind Casey, only for him to move out of the way, but he stumbled on his feet and tripped, causing him to let go of the Hyper Cube, where it stumbled on the floor.
"I knew it!" Kristoff exclaimed as he walked up and took the cube in his hands. "You were trying to open this weren't you."
"So what if I was?! What about it?!" Casey exclaimed.
"You have no idea what this thing is! None of us do!" Kristoff argued. "For all we know, this is what destroyed that ship and turned all those people into zombies!"
"Back off ice-boy!" Casey shouted. "I found it! Finders-keepers!"
"Did you not just hear a word I said?!" Kristoff yelled back. "You know what? I'm gonna take this to Honeycutt and have him put it someplace safer." He was about to walk away, but Casey quickly grabbed the cube.
"I said it's mine!" Casey tried to pull it away, but Kristoff held onto it as they tried to wrestle and pull it away from one another. They tussled and pulled, struggling across the platform as Kristoff gave it a hard yank and with his superior strength, he pulled it out of Casey's arms.
But Casey quickly jumped onto Kristoff's back. "Are you crazy!?" Kristoff yelled as he tried to pull him off but Casey pulled him back, causing him to fall back. He tried to crawl for the cube, but Kristoff grabbed him by the waist.
"Must open! MUST OPEN!" Casey yelled as he reached his hand, that Kristoff was trying to hold back. But Casey reached out his index finger and pressed on the top of the Hyper Cube, causing it to glow brighter
Though Casey smiled in victory, Kristoff's face paled. Both of them had expressions of fear as the Hyper Cube began to vibrate as it lifted into the air. All the solid parts faded around it as it turned into some form of fifth-dimensional object that rotated and shifted between different colors. The two young men backed away as lightning began to emit from the object and blue smoke shot out from it.
"What the…!?" Kristof exclaimed as the blue smoke grew and a dark silhouette took form inside it. A pair of glowing red eyes were seen inside as a dark and loud laugh echoed from the mysterious being. The laugh grew louder as both Kristoff and Casey we're forced back and fell on their rears. A tentacle emerged from the smoke and loomed toward them, Casey in particular.
"Guys! What are you doing?!"
The two of them turned around to see Honeycutt, Leo, Elsa, Donnie, Raph, Anna, Mikey, Olaf, Sven, April, and Karai enter the engine room. Kristoff also looked in surprise as the smoke and the mysterious entity had vanished completely. But he quickly stood up.
"Casey opened up the Hyper Cube!" Kristoff exclaimed, causing Casey to punch Kristoff's arm, who punched back in retaliation.
"Wait… what?!" Elsa questioned.
"No, nonsense." Honeycutt stepped up toward the duo. "It is a highly advanced cosmic artifact. It cannot simply be opened…" He looked towards the empty Hyper Cube. "Ooooh, it is extremely opened."
The Fugitoid felt a tap on the shoulder via a tentacle, causing Kristoff and Casey to back up, before it tapped on Honeycutt's other shoulder, causing him to turn there as well before the tentacle comically slapped the cyborg's face.
The group looked up to see the tentacle coming from a strange and oddly shaped creature. He had an oyster-shaped head anemone-like hair on top. He had two bulgy eyes with a pair of buckteeth and a humanoid body with blue skin and a tentacle for a left leg.
He popped down in front of the surprised and befuddled group. "Hello, hello, my friends!" He kissed Leo's whole face. "Good to see ya!" He shook a confused Kristoff's hand. "Nice to meet ya!" He offered a hand to Karai, who backed away keeping her own hand close to her blade. "Let me greet ya!" A spotlight shinned on him. "You can call me WYRM!" He introduced with fireworks exploding around him.
Pretty much everyone had no idea what to say to this, with the exception of a certain snowman. "Hello Mr. Wrym. I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!"
"One toasty-piping-hot hug coming up!" He stretched his arms and yanked Olaf to pull him into a hug, before busting into flames.
"OLAF!" Anna, Elsa, and April screamed in horror. But they both appeared back on the ground in the form of water before reforming.
"That was the warmest hug I'd ever experienced!" Olaf said in a tone of pure excitement.
The newly introduced Wyrm appeared in a puff of blue smoke behind Elsa and grabbed her by the shoulders, making her very uncomfortable. "That's why I'm here. To make palls happy! Help you out! Give you some love!" His hands detached from his body and began to crawl over Elsa like spiders, causing her to scream slightly.
He appeared in the same manner upside down next to Donnie. "I'm the most powerful Wyrm in ten dimensions." He flexed his muscle and even provided a small mushroom cloud on his arm. Again, he popped up in a puff of blue smoke in between Anna and Mikey. "And all I wanna do is grant you three little wishes!" He pulled both Mikey and Anna in with his right arm as his left hand held up three fingers with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 appearing above as digits.
"Well technically two since Casey already made the first wish." Wyrm quickly added as he pulled out a projection screen and shot the 'film' from his eyes while motioning his hand to speak as he played the 'recording' of Casey.
"Like this is totally boring! I wish something non-boring would happen!" The screen showed the Hyper Cube as it was on the ship, indicating that Wyrm heard it, before the screen shifted to show the astro zombies.
"Wait, you sicked those zombies on us?!" Karai questioned in anger towards Wyrm.
He held up his hands innocently. "All I did was grant a wish."
Sven then smacked Casey upside the head. "Ow! What was that for?!"
"For being an idiot!" Sven yelled.
"How was I supposed to know some space-genie was listening?!" Casey argued.
"Hold on I… just…. What… who or what are you?!" Elsa questioned to Wyrm as this was something completely new, even for her.
"It would appear that our new friend Wyrm is a fifth-dimensional being of sorts." Fugitoid explained.
"Translation please!" Leo urged.
"Since he exists in a fifth-dimensional plain, here in our third-dimensional reality, he is capable of bending reality as he sees fit." Honeycutt explained once more.
"So, basically, you can do pretty much anything?" Anna questioned to Wyrm.
"DING-DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!" Wyrm announced on a microphone before handing Anna a large golden trophy complete with more fireworks. Anna just had a blank and confused look on her face.
Wyrm appeared in front of the whole group once more with a piece of chalk in his hands. "Okay, so here are the rules." He began to draw in thin air as he drew a chalk-like drawing of a Turtle and a human with the number 2 above them. "You got two more wishes, and you gotta share em. We're living in hard economic times!"
"Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!" Mikey and Olaf both raised their hands.
"You can never make a wish to get more wishes." Wyrm told them, already knowing their question as the chalk-drawings shook their fingers. "Against the rules."
"Awww!" Mikey and Olaf both lowered in disappointment.
"Last rule." Wyrm drew a new chalk drawing of himself in-between the chalk-Turlte and chalk-human. "You can never ever wish to hurt a Wyrm." He said in a surprisingly threatening tone.
"So otherwise, we can wish for anything at all? Wow!" Donnie said in an amazed tone.
"I think we may have just hit the jackpot!" Kristoff stated with a smile. "Maybe getting the Hyper Cube wasn't a bad move after all."
"That's right! So, what's it gonna be?" Wyrm hovered in the air above the group as they all came together in a huddle.
"Oh this is so exciting." Anna could barley contain her excitement. "I'm so excited I don't know what to wish for! Does anyone have any ideas!?"
"So obviously we'll wish for an endless supply of comic books…" Mikey began. "Oh, oh, a space surf board! Yes!"
"No, we only have two wishes." Elsa said, getting very serious. "We have to think this very carefully."
"The first wish has gotta be save Earth, right? Stop the Triceratons!" Raph said, having the right idea.
"Does that count as two wishes?" Leo questioned.
"Then we'll be careful with our wording." Sven said. "Let's just wish the Black Hole generator out of existence! Our will mission will be over and we can go home!"
"We could wish for universal peace throughout the galaxy!" April suggested. "That would cover just about everything, right?"
"I'm with you on that one April! Universal peace!" Anna quickly agreed.
"Hold on, wishes are tricky business." Karai interjected. "We're gonna have to be very specific."
"How about something important, like Casey Jones becomes the ultimate super hero in the universe!" Casey exclaimed.
"You already wasted a wish on the space zombies!" Kristof told him. "You don't get another one!"
"Oh, I got it! The perfect wish!" Olaf announced. "Free hugs! For everyone in the whole universe!"
Pretty much everyone lowered their eyelids at Olaf's suggestion, though Elsa, Anna, and April looked at him with sympathy.
"Olaf, what part of take this seriously did you not understand?" Donnie questioned. "You're sweet and all, but sometimes I wish you actually had a brain!... oops!"
Everyone gasped. "Donnie!" Leo exclaimed, but it was too late.
Wrym began to laugh as he shot a beam of energy right at Olaf as he began to lift into the air. The snow around him turned a bright blue as his eyes glowed a bright white with the atomic symbol of the element Hydrogen appearing on his forehead. As Olaf's eyes glowed he began to see… everything! The big bang that created the universe, a fire lighting from a match, a solar eclipse, asteroids colliding, a raindrop on water, a hawk soaring, a baby crying, and even a nuclear explosion.
Olaf looked around as he hovered in the air and spoke in a British accent. "Dear lord… I can see everything!" He saw multiple formulas and equations as they poured into his mind. "Every molecule, every electron, proton, and neutron! I've just calculated the total amount of dark matter molecules that erupted from the universe's inception, to Einstein's relative theory and how time is the one unassailable force in the cosmos! I… am… Olaf! THE ULTIMATE MIND IN ALL OF REALITY!"
Everyone's jaws dropped as their eyes were nothing more than white circles.
"What have I done?" Donnie uttered.
Anna slowly approached the hovering snowman. "Olaf… is… is that you? Do… do you still like warm hugs?"
"Hugs are illogical." Olaf said simply, causing Anna to gasp before fainting, however Kristof was quick to catch her.
"Oh dear god." Elsa looked in horror at the new Olaf.
"Okay, okay nobody panic." April got everyone's attention. "We still have the third wish, we can fix everything."
Wyrm's eyes bulged out toward April as the rest of his body quickly caught up. "Of course you can, you just need to wish. So what's it gonna be?"
The group said nothing as they looked amongst themselves.
"What's wrong? You scared of a tinny, tiny, wish?" Wyrm asked as he literally shrunk himself, but Leo held his hand up.
"Hold up, before we make anymore wishes, we're gonna discuss this carefully." Leo said.
"That's right." Elsa was in agreement. "You said we can't get anymore wishes after this; so we have to make this last one count."
Wrym did not seem happy with their response. "You can have all the power in the universe, but you wanna discuss it?!" He disappeared in a puff of blue smoke before it felt like the entire ship came to a grinding halt as the group fell to the ground.
"What the hell was that?!" Kristoff questioned.
"We've hit something!" The Fugitoid stated as the group stood up.
The entirety of the group ran onto the bridge and looked out the main window to something that made them audibly gasp in terror.
"What… what… what are we looking at?!" Sven exclaimed.
"The stars… they're gone!" Donnie couldn't believe what he was seeing, what any of them were seeing. It actually looked like the inside of the ship from the window, with some form of a blue line across.
The hovering Olaf looked in his hands at the empty Hyper Cube and spotted what appeared to be a tiny version of the Ulixies inside it. "Incredible." He uttered in his British accent.
Everyone screamed as they saw Olaf's face from the window. "GIANT EYEBALL!" Mikey screamed.
Olaf, with his new omnipotent intelligence, suddenly figured it out. "We have somehow been trapped inside and outside the Hyper Cube simultaneously! We are trapped in a fifth dimensional prison! Inconceivable!"
Wyrm was casually leaning on one of the stations on the bridge. "I find that being inside a fifth dimensional prison really focuses the mind. NOW MAKE A WISH!"
"Hold on a minute! Why are you so insisting on us making a wish?" Karai question. "From the sound of it, you really want us to."
"She's right." Elsa realized before glaring at him. "What are you playing Wrym?! What are you trying to do, because I don't think you're really here to help us!"
"You can wish for anything you want!" Wrym exclaimed as he zoomed into Elsa's face. "You could be immortal, you could bring people back to life, you could rule the cosmos, you can do literally anything! Make up your little mind and make a the dang wish!"
"One moment please." The Fugitoid got everyone's attention as he brought up a three-dimensional-screen showing holographic images of three different beings. One was Wyrm, another appeared to be a green genie-like creature crossed with a goblin. The third one had the head of a horse with one long fang, a deer antler, on the left a goat-horn on the right, a goat's beard, the body of a snake, with a lion paw, an eagle claw, a lizard leg, and a goat leg, a bat wing, a bird wing, and a long snake-like tail.
"Our friend Wyrm here is one of the three Reality-Bending-Creators of Chaos!"
"Creator of Chaos?! That doesn't sound good." Anna gulped.
"It isn't." The Fugitoid continued. "They were put into fifth dimensional prisons long ago and scattered throughout the cosmos. Although it says one of them was actually imprisoned in stone in some other dimension…" Suddenly Honeycutt was zapped with lightning, causing him to short circuit as his body fell onto the ground.
"Professor!" Many of them shouted in shock.
"Granting…. All three wishes… frees the Wyrm of his prison forever…" The Fugitoid finished as the Wyrm gave an evil laugh with a storm cloud forming above him.
Casey's face was the first to turn into a scowl. "Dude tricked me into jailbreaking him! Oh that is so not cool!"
All the Turtles drew their weapons, as did Karai, while Elsa readied her magic. "Forget it Wyrm! You'll never get a third wish out of us!" Leo declared.
Wyrm continued to laugh as the four Turtles were the first to leap towards him, but he shot his fingers and zapped them with a bolt of lightning before he caught their fallen forms and rolled them up into a ball.
"Maybe this will knock some sense into ya!" He rolled them along the wall like a boiling ball before rebounding along the side with a baseball bat and a Yankees hat, he batted them away and they slammed into the wall.
Elsa shot an ice-wave at him, which he Wyrm limboed under as Elsa shot her hands forward to shoot a beam of her magic just as Wyrm took the form of a dragon and shot fire-breath to intercept her attack, but this left her vulnerable as his newly acquired tail shot at her, forming a fist with brass-knuckles to knock Elsa back.
Sven, Kristof, and Casey yelled as they charged at him, but Wyrm had formed his left hand into a cartoon sledgehammer, which he inflated to comedic size by blowing into his right thumb.
"Wyrm feels like causing a little chaos!"
The three skidded to a halt at the size of his hammer and tried to run only for him to already smash it on top of the trio, causing them to be flattened like in a cartoon.
"Know what I'm saying?!"
Karai tried to get the drop on him from behind as she used her agility and stealth to try and cut his head off, but Wrym's head appeared out of his own butt as his tongue shot out and ensnared Karai before tossing her to the recovering Elsa.
Anna and April tried to shoot their laser guns at him as he dodged the laser fire as though he were made of rubber.
"Olaf you're super smart now! Any ideas how to take him down?!" Anna questioned to the hovering Olaf as he sat in a meditative position and tried to come up with a solution.
Wyrm opened his mouth to literally eat the laser fire before turning around and shooting them out of his butt at the two girls, forcing them to take cover.
"That is wrong on so many levels!" April exclaimed.
Sven charged and tried to ram at Wyrm as he twirled and suddenly appeared in a matador's costume while holding a red cape. "Torro! Torro!" Right as Sven was about to hit him, Wyrm tossed the flag to reveal a brick-wall, which Sven slammed into face-fist. "Olle!"
Raph tried to tackle him, but Wyrm flipped above him as Leo tried to slice his katanas blades at him, but Wyrm disappeared and re-appeared with a pirate's hat and sword. "Arrg! Captain Wrym gotta deal with a mutiny!" He parried his sword against Leo and Raph's blades before spinning like a top to smack them all back.
Elsa erected multiple ice-spikes from the ground and shot them at Wyrm at inhumane speeds, but he quickly melted his body to avoid them and quickly appeared behind Elsa. "Didn't mommy tell you not to play with sharp things?" He teased before he opened his mouth to shoot spears at Elsa, who scream as she erected an ice-wall to block them as Wyrm continued to laugh.
Karai's anger had reached an all-time high. "I've had enough of this!" Her eyes turned into slits as she took up her mutant snake-form and hissed before zooming straight at Wyrm who turned around and took the appearance of a snake charmer and began to play a flute that began to lull Karai, causing her to stop her advance.
Anna tried to shoot at Wyrm with her laser gun, but Wyrm had quickly grabbed Karai's snake form and twisted her body into a lasso as he took up a cowboy's hat. "This town ain't big enough for the two of us!" He ensnared Anna in his 'Karai-laso' and twirled her in the air.
"GOONGALA!" Casey pucked multiple photon pucks at Wrym as Elsa shot more ice-bolts and April shot her pistol but Wyrm waved the ensnared Anna and Karai like mace as he jumped into the air to avoid their attacks and smashed all five of them together.
Leo slashed at Wrym multiple times with his katana blades, but he avoided all of them with ease. Raph, Mikey, and Donnie all joined in as he quickly shrunk himself down and all four Turtles slammed into each other in comical fashion.
Sven actually tackled Wrym from behind as Kristof tried to land a punch at him, but Wyrm twirled around like a tornado before shooting them out toward the wall. He then hopped on his tail like a spring.
"Why even bother fighting me you dweebs! I'm too tough for ya!" He gloated, but right as he landed he was quickly frozen from the bottom up till he froze completely, courtesy of Elsa as both her hands were on the ground. Leo came in with a yell and a sword slice, shattering Wyrm to pieces.
"Did you get him?" Elsa asked.
"I hope so." Leo replied.
Several of the frozen pieces of Wyrm however suddenly turned into smaller and tinier Wryms as they all laughed in a high-pitched voice, much to Leo and Elsa's shock. But before they could even react, they all jumped right at the two and morphed into one larger Wrym, specifically his mouth and began to swallow them whole.
Anna covered her mouth in visual horror. She looked below her and saw the rest of the frozen pieces turning into more tiny Wryms that merged into the top of Wyrm's head that began to bounce after her till it began to devour her from the top, causing her to scream.
"HELP! SOMEONE GET HIM OFF ME!"
Everyone else tried to rush in and help their friends, but several tentacles lashed out from the part devouring Elsa and Leo and ensnared them before spinning and slamming them hard against the wall. Leo and Elsa found themselves completely devoured as that part of Wyrm transformed into a rocket ship, both their faces sticking out on either side. The rocket shot up before spinning around the room, creating smoke everywhere.
Kristof slammed his fist onto the ground. "Wish I had some kind of Anti-Wyrm cannon!"
Everyone gasped. "Kristoff NO!" Sven shouted.
A flash of light appeared above Kristoff as it took the form of a large, highly advanced laser gun, complete with an Anti-Wyrm symbol on the side. It fell into Kristoff's hands as he smirked, almost evilly.
"Now that's more like it."
All the pieces of Wyrm vanished, freeing Elsa, Anna, and Leo in the process, as they reappeared as one single Wrym as he begged on his knees in front of Kristoff pointing the Anti-Wyrm gun at him.
"Oh no! Please!" Wyrm begged as Kristoff primed the gun. "Don't blast me! I know I was a little rude, a little whacky, a little what-the-f!" He cried. "I'm so sorry!"
"Should have thought with that before you tried to mess with us like that." Kristoff said. "Say goodnight!" He pulled the trigger, but what came out of the gun was not a super destructive laser cannon, but a flag with the word 'BANG' on it.
"What… I what?!" Kristoff uttered in disbelief as he looked at the so-called weapon as his face gave an expression of frustration. "No! That's not fair! I made a freaking wish!"
Wrym had a naughty smirk on his flamboyant face. "Of course it's fair. Remember?! Last rule!" He produced a Wyrm-hand-puppet that spoke in his voice. "You can never, ever, make a wish to hurt a Wyrm."
Suddenly the whole ship began to vibrate as Wyrm gave another evil laugh. The Hyper Cube began to shake and vibrate as Wyrm stretched his hand to take it while stretching his left-leg-tentacle to grab Honeycutt and turn him back on.
"Bleep! And now Wyrm is free to rule the cosmos!"
Wyrm dropped the now useless Hyper Cube. "Yeah! That's the fun part!" He crushed it beneath his foot. "Come on, I'll show you!"
By destroying the Hyper Cube he also freed the Ulixies from the prison he put on it, now that it mattered anymore since Wyrm was completely free.
"Space is much to crowded!" Wyrm began to think. "I think I might just… snap my fingers and erase half of the universe's population!" He shouted before he contemplated again. "Nah, that's already been done. Oh, I know!"
Wyrm faced the window as he pulled out a conductor's music baton and tapped Fugitoid's head a bit. "How about something a bit more flashy!" He then began to 'conduct', with Mozart playing in the background as he flashed his baton, causing several different planets and stars to explode all across the universe, creating a flashy show around the Ulixies ship.
All the heroes could only look in horror as Wyrm laughed and incited chaos all across the known universe. Blowing up whole planets, crashing them together, and even imploding them, incidentally killing billions of lives. Jaws dropped and white circular eyes were the only expressions they could all give as they saw this madness.
They gave into desperation as they made a last-ditch effort to stop Wrym as they charged at him with everything they had, even Elsa was prepared to cast all the magic at her disposal; but Wrym pointed his baton at them, causing them to stop before tossing them towards Olaf who continued to hover and observe, as he wasn't fazed in the least bit, despite everything that just happened.
"Damn it!" Kristof slammed his fist on the ground. "Why did I make that last stupid wish!?"
"You gave into your desperation, that is why." Olaf put simply.
"Can you blame me!?" Kristoff cried out. "There's gotta be something we can do!"
"Unfortunately, no. There is nothing we can do." Olaf said. "I have calculated exactly fourteen million, six hundred and five different scenarios. Each of them ends with Wrym ruling the cosmos, and all of us being dead. All, save one."
That caught everyone's attention. "Wait… one scenario?"
"Yes, one where not all of us are dead." Olaf said as he began to hover towards Wyrm. "This being is, without question, the most powerful creature in existence. So it would only seem logical that I, the most intelligent being in existence, to join him." He turned to them with an almost evil smile.
Everyone gasped as Wyrm appeared next to the intelligent and treacherous Olaf. "Ha!"
"Wha… what..?!" Elsa uttered, not believing the words that just came out of Olaf's mouth.
"Olaf, what are you doing?!" Anna almost cried.
"The smartest thing at the moment, my dear Anna." Olaf answered. "Allying with the Omni-powerful Wyrm."
Said reality-bending creature laughed before opening his mouth and engulfing the whole group into darkness. As the group looked around, there was a bright flash of light before they suddenly found themselves within Elsa's Ice Palace back in Arendelle.
"Who's ready for a warm, body-crushing hug?"
This came from a large creature that bore a strong resemblance to Marshmallow, the only difference it bore Olaf's head, which was as large as Marshmallow's, including his own fangs, which bore a sinister smile as this new being charged at the group of stunned heroes.
They were unable to defend themselves at all as he swiped his arm at them to knock them all back before stomping his foot onto them, causing the icy-floor to shatter underneath them where they screamed and fell into a seemingly black abyss before landing on the streets of New York city where they were greeted by several Ice Dragons from their previous adventure on the Ice Moon, all of them perched on the roofs, and each of them bearing Olaf's face.
All they could do was scream and run as the creatures charged at them, blasting more blue fire from their jaws, all while laughing. They tried to split off into groups, but each group seemed to be in an equal amount of danger.
Donnie, April, and Kristoff ran along a basket ball court and tried to make their way down an alley, only to find their path blocked by another Marshmallow-Olaf creature reaching toward them with an evil laugh.
Raph, Karai, and Sven jumped from car-to-car along a street with Casey skating alongside them; the four of them were in a full retreat as they were being chased by a swarm of the tiny snowmen accidentally created by Elsa during Anna's birthday, all of which also had Olaf's face with icy-fangs, and swarmed just like the Rat King's own rat army.
Leo, Elsa, Anna, and Mikey all screamed as they ran down a street with several of the Olaf-Ice-Dragons right at their heels. Elsa couldn't even use her powers right now so the best thing they could do was run as fast as they could, the icy-fire burning right at their heels.
All three parties eventually meet at a three-way-intersection with all the Olaf-ice-monsters coming at them from all sides before they all roared and charged at them. The group screamed as they closed their eyes and waited for the end to come. Surprisingly, it never did. When they opened their eyes again, the whole group found themselves back on the bridge of the Ulixies with the intelligent Olaf and Wyrm right beside him.
"See? My wishes we're great!" Wyrm told them. "Look what you could have had." He motioned to the hovering and smirking Olaf. "I'll tell you what little snow-man. You and I will rule the universe, together."
"I agree, that is the most logical choice." Olaf said as the two of them shook hands.
"You stupid…. Arrogant…. Treacherous little…" Karai growled.
"Stupid crap-smelling excuse for a snowman!" Casey shouted. "Warm hugs my butt!"
Wyrm appeared on the railing behind the group as he addressed his new 'partner'. "First, I need a little proof of your loyalty. Destroy your old friends!"
"As you wish, Wyrm. I'll wipe them from the face of existence!" Olaf said with a wide and evil smile.
Anna and Elsa couldn't contain just how hurt they were; both of them on the verge of tears. "Olaf… I… how… how could you…?" Anna cried.
"However, if I am to accomplish such a task, I will need a wish. To make their end as spectacular as possible." Olaf said, his stick-arms behind his back.
Wyrm contemplated. "Hmmm, fine. You get a wish-bonus!" He granted him one free wish as he gave him a pat on the back while the hovering Olaf loomed over the frightened and hurt group.
"Olaf… I…." Tears fell down from Elsa's face as they all backed away. "Please… don't do this! Please!"
"I… wish…." Olaf's smile turned into a genuine one as he gave Elsa a wink, surprising her as he turned around and pointed at Wyrm. "…That we had never found that infernal Hyper Cube to begin with!"
Wyrm laughed before he realized what Olaf just said. "WHAT?!" He popped up in shock. "You… you… you can't wish that!"
"Unless this wish physically harms you, yes I can." Olaf told him.
The Turtles and Sven all cheered, as did Kristof and Casey. Karai however looked confused. "I… you… tricked him?!"
Olaf turned around and explained. "I told you, I calculated exactly fourteen million, six hundred and five different scenarios. Only one outcome ended in our favor: my deception."
"You.. you we're on our side the whole time!" Anna cheered, tears of joy falling from her eyes.
"I'm sorry about earlier though, there was no other way." Olaf said before he looked down in disappointment. "The only draw-back is, I'll be an idiot again after this." but Elsa pulled him into a hug.
"Oh, but you'll always be the lovable Olaf we all know, no matter how smart you are." She told him with tears of joy coming down her eyes.
Wyrm could only stutter, realizing he had just been bested. "Bu..bu…bu… but if you never found the cube, then none of this ever happened and…" he gave a cry of despair as Elsa and Olaf approached him with triumphant looks on both their faces.
"Rules are rules, Wyrm." Elsa gloated. "You gave Olaf a wish…"
"…And now you must grant it!" Olaf gloated as well.
Wyrm tried to hold his mouth shut, but he could not fight the compulsion. "Nnnn… no… no… No! Your…your…your wish… is my… COMMAND!"
*FLASH!*
April shivered a bit as she held her arms. "So eerie. It's like a horror movie waiting to happen. I don't have to be psychic to get a bad feeling about this place."
"I have a bad feeling to." Casey said as he floated past all of them, lying on his back. "Like this is totally boring! I wish…"
"WAIT!"
Olaf suddenly flew through the crowd and clung to Casey's helmet, both their helmets touching as he looked at Casey with wide eyes.
"Don't. Say. Anything!" Olaf exclaimed as he turned to the surprised group. "No one make any wishes!"
"Wait… what? Why? Olaf is… is something wrong?" Anna asked him.
Olaf however looked just about as confused as everyone. "I… don't really know. I just had this feeling that…. Something crazy was going to happen. The bad kind of crazy."
"You sure you didn't just hit your head or something?" Raph asked, not really getting it.
"Okay, no wishes. Now would you get off me little snow-dude?" Casey told the little snowman as he still clung to Casey's helmet.
"Oh, sorry." He let go and hovered to the ground.
Karai sighed. "This place is completely empty, and it's giving me the creeps. Let's just get out of here."
"Yeah, I'm right there with ya." Kristoff was in agreement.
"My sensors detect nothing left alive on that ship." Honeycutt told them via their radio-links. "You should all return immediately. I believe I may have a lead on the Triceraton Mother Ship."
"Finally, some good news!" Sven stated stated as the group began to leave as they all jet-packed out of the derelict ship, Elsa and Leo being among the last. Elsa stopped for a second.
"Hey, uh, did you just hear something?" She looked back a bit.
"No. You okay Elsa?" Leo asked her.
She shook her head. "Yeah, just had a weird sense of déjà vu." Both of them left the ship with the others.
"IT'S NOT FAIR!" Wyrm exclaimed, still trapped in the Hyper Cube at the very back of the derelict ship where no one would ever hear him, freedom having slipped through his grasp, probably for all eternity. "COME BACK AND MAKE A WISH! YOU HEAR ME?! LET ME OUTTA HERE!
Done.
Well that was certainly fun. Olaf saved the day everyone! Points to our favorite living snowman!
Oh, also for some fun, I slipped in a few references from other shows/movies into this as well (three to be specific, but one movie had two), take a guess as to what they were :)
Up next, our beloved gang of heroes meet another new enemy in space, one with a 'steely' appetite (Pun intended). See you soon with the next update.
