"It's been a tough couple of days, my friends. I've lost many of my best EPF soldiers in the pursuit of Ch'rell, but it's all going to be worth it now. The information that you managed to extract from Torrinan has been endlessly valuable. Most importantly, we now know the location where Ch'rell has been conducting his operations ever since his escape from the prison. The clock is ticking, and we need to act now, because Ch'rell has never been so close to capture, right within the palm of my hands. This mission means everything, and if we succeed, we will be heroes, remembered throughout the lands for our power and service to a just cause."
Bishop spoke these words as the turtles, Mira, and a handful of EPF soldiers got ready for what was supposed to be their final mission.
"There's no time to lose ninjas, let's go." Leonardo said to his team as they made their way towards Ch'rell's hideout. "This ends now".
The entire group nodded in agreement, not saying anything more as they got their weapons ready for this one final mission.
Approximately an hour later
"This is it." Leonardo said to his family as he looked upon a well-built fortress in the middle of the desert, where they had good reason to believe that Ch'rell was hiding. "Remember to keep your eyes open, there's no telling what sort of last tricks Ch'rell has in store for us."
"I can't believe we are already near the end." Donatello said in response to his brother, looking at the giant fortress with his bo staff firmly in hand. "I would've thought that Ch'rell would've put up more of a fight until we got to this point but hey, I'm not complaining."
The turtles, Mira and a number of EPF soldiers then slowly surrounded the building, until they had it in lockdown, ready to breach and infiltrate.
Raphael then placed an explosive device on the front door, while his brothers and Mira stood by his side.
"Blow the charge." Leonardo said as his brother complied, immediately causing the door to blow up and leaving a trail of smoke, which the turtles and Mira used to their advantage in order to potentially catch any enemy off guard.
Only, there were no enemies in sight, the place was dead quiet, with not a soul to be sensed nearby.
"Don't get too easy yet bros, remember what happened the last time it was this quiet?" Michelangelo said to his brothers as he vigilantly scanned the entire premises for any sign of acitivity.
The turtles and Mira nodded in agreement, carefully going room through room in order to find anything of use, until:
"Bros! I've found the jackpot!" Michelangelo exclaimed with eager anticipation as he entered one of the rooms, full of documents.
"Keep it down Mikey!" Raphael said in response, in a partially hushed tone.
"I would, if I didn't just hit a gold mine." Michelangelo then added, quickly reading through all the documents that he had just stumbled upon.
"Here, let me have a look." Leonardo said as he read one of the journals that Michelangelo handed over to him, in a series of journals that were arranged by the latest date:
Signed, Ch'rell.
October 12th, 2067
Time: 12:04pm
"Things have been a disaster at this moment in time, with Torrinan having given away all of our valuable information to those turtles. I should've acted upon my gut feeling to dispose of that traitor long ago. Kraang Prime would've hated to have seen fault in his creations while he still alive, but I had no excuse to keep him after the death of my master. Neverthless, the plan must continue moving on as forward, even if a few compromises must be made at this moment of time. It was Kraang Prime's dying wish that I continue on his legacy as the ruler of all ten dimensions, and I shall not fail my master at any cost. Bishop, Maximus Kong, and all of their allies must die."
Leonardo looked at the note with an expression of awe as he finished reading the latest entry of the journal, to the notice of his family.
"What is it Leonardo?" Mira asked the giant turtle, looking at him with a slightly concerned expression.
"This latest journal entry, it was less than 3 hours ago." Leonardo said in response to the mutant meerkat, looking through the expansive collection of notes that littered this room in particular. "This must be Ch'rell's personal office, with information so valuable that he couldn't even destroy it before leaving."
"Ch'rell and his goons were so not long ago, that I can practically still smell them!" Michelangelo said as he closed his eyes and took a good smell of the place, like his usual funny antics.
"Tell me about it, Mikey." Donatello said in response to his brother, as he used his robotic vision to scan the information, and learn what it meant. "This is absolutely everything we need to capture Ch'rell once and for all. Names, dates and everything else which he would not want us to see!"
"Right, you finish scanning the information onto your robotic memory, but remember, its best to keep these physical copies with us as well, just in case." Leonardo added as he stored whatever documents he could in a large bag that he had brought along just for such a task.
"Turtles, Mira, whats the situation? Over." Bishop said over the turtle-com, as the group of heroes were gathering their information.
"You won't be disappointed, president." Leonardo said in response. "Consider Ch'rell all yours at this point."
"Good, that's just what I like to hear." Bishop said in response with a tone of satisfaction as he finished delivering his message on the turtle-com. "I'll see you on the other side, my friends, Bishop out."
"Guys, do you hear that?" Raphael said as he could just barely make out the sound of footsteps in the house, footsteps that were clearly not of friendly forces.
Before our heroes could respond, they were already under attack, as a huge barrage of Ch'rell's mutants had encircled the house, hell-bent on destroying the turtles and Mira at any cost.
"Destroy the enemies of our Kraang ancestors at any cost!" one of the mutants said as a whole swarm of them charged our heroes at full-force.
"They're everywhere!" Donatello said as he used his enhanced Bo Staff to fight off various mutants all trying to overwhelm him and his family, as well as using laser weaponry when needed.
"Come in Bishop! Come in!" Raphael shouted into his turtle-com at the top of his lungs while holding it with one hand, while fighting mutants using a Sai in his other hand. "Get the hell over here at once, we're completely surrounded by hundreds of these psychos!"
"On my way at once, I will be there in a chopper to pick you up in about five minutes." Bishop said in response in a rather calm tone, being the supreme commander he was.
"We don't have five minutes!" Raphael shouted in response, as he continued to fight at his absolute limit, fending off one mutant after another.
"Don! Mikey! Listen!" Leonardo said as he took his giant and bloody katana out of a recently stabbed mutant. "Look, whatever happens, these documents reach Bishop at any cost. Me, Raph and Mira will stay here and distract these guys, just go with the package!"
"No Leo! I won't leave your side!" Michelangelo exclaimed as he stood by Leo's side, refusing to abandon him at any cost.
"Leo's right, Mikey! We have to go now!" Donatello said in response in a hurried and worried tone.
With great hesitation, Michelangelo then complied with Donatello, grabbing whatever bags he could that held all the physical documents, after which the two brothers made their way out of the safe-house.
Many mutants tried to chase after the two younger turtles, but Leonardo, Rapahael and Mira tried their best to ensure that nothing would get in Donatello's and Michelangelo's way by gunning down every mutant who pursued them.
"Look, there's Bishops' chopper!" Donatello exclaimed as he and Michelangelo just made their way out of the house, now beginning to crumble because of the heavy fighting within. "Come on, lets go!"
"I don't have a good feeling, bro." Michelangelo said as he began to feel especially uneasy for some reason. "We should turn back now, D!"
"No time now, Mikey!" Donatello exclaimed in response as he tried to shake some sense into his younger brother. "Come on, everything will be alright!"
Just as he said this, the chopper just landed, revealing Bishop inside, surrounded by his inner circle of EPF soldiers.
"Have you got the intel?" Bishop asked as he walked towards the two turtles, slowly but surely.
Michelangelo said as he handed over the bags containing the documents without saying a word, still feeling incredibly uneasy as anxiety completely overcame him from what he just did.
And just as Bishop grabbed hold of the documents, Michelangelo's worst fears somehow came true, as he witnessed Donatello going down in a single blow from Bishop's personal laser blaster, powerful enough to crush rocks with a single blow.
"No!" Michelangelo screamed as he looked at Donatello fall from a lethal shot to the face that completely pierced his robotic head.
Before he could confront the attacker however, Michelangelo felt an extremely sharp pain in his chest as he had been shot as well, not realizing.
Michelangelo then fell to the ground, looking straight at Donatello as his vision blurred, and he was breathing his last breaths in life.
It was only a few moments later that the remaining two turtles and Mira emerged out of the house, having fought all of the mutants, but what they saw next, shocked them beyond belief.
None of the three said a word as they witnessed Bishop standing on Michelangelo's and Donatello's corpses from a bit of a distance, with a wide and psychopathic smile across his face.
Time slowed down to an absolute crawl for our three remaining heroes, as they could not process the situation.
Infact, they did not even process that Bishop was now leaving in his helicopter, giving one final order to his increasingly large of army EPF soldiers on the ground, before he left for good:
"Kill them."
