Leo and Jude were making out on the couch when April and Casey ran in.
"Woah, my eyes!" Casey exclaimed.
"Grow up!" Leo laughed.
"I hear April!" Donnie exclaimed as he came out of the dojo with Raph and MIkey. "And Casey…"
"Is it safe to be in the room yet?" Raph grumbled as he looked at the two love struck teens.
They had just found out about Karai being Splinter's daughter and were taking the news in their own ways. Surprisingly Michelangelo didn't say anything, just watched his brothers react around him. Karai being his sister was huge news and he didn't know how to handle it.
"Guys, come to the lab and see what we grabbed." April exclaimed and ran into Donnie's workspace.
Jude followed suit and almost bumped into Mikey who was not watching where he was going. The orange masked turtle grinned apologetically, "Sorry Jude-woodie, I gotta stop thinkin' so hard 'cuz I forget how to walk when I do."
Jude smiled gently and placed a hand on his shoulder. They stopped walking right outside of Donnie's lab. "What's going on?" She typed.
"Just the whole Karai thing. Family is so important y'know, and Karai…she's family now. I-I just want my bros to be okay." Mikey babbled.
She nodded and hugged the youngest turtle.
"I forget that you give the best hugs!" He squeezed her back, "C'mon, before we get left out of all the fun!"
Michelangelo grabbed her hand and pulled her into the lab where Donnie just jumped into a floating portal.
Mikey exclaimed, "Well we can't let them go alone!" He pulled Jude into the portal.
On the other side was multiple portals, they were all looking around the different dimensions. Suddenly the door they came through collapsed and Mikey exclaimed, "The portal closed! We're trapped!"
Leo ordered, "There's dozens of portals here. Everyone, start searching for a way home!"
Jude found a dimension made of pillows and a dimension with mutants but not their own.
"Guys look! I think it's Dimension X!" Leo exclaimed.
They all peered through the strange looking door and watched the kraang hover back and forth.
"Shh! I-I sense something coming!" April whispered.
Suddenly two kraang apes appeared in front of the portal, staring straight at them. Raphael jumped around, "How do you close this thing. Where's the knob?"
"They're onto us, get ready team!" Leo stated and pulled out his swords.
Casey, April and Jude stuck together and watched each other's backs. They fought side by side as the turtles also fought. Jude ripped a kraang out of its floating pod and punted it into another dimension. When she turned around Casey was blocking shots from another Kraang who was aiming at her. Jude gave a silent thanks and attacked it head on with said Puck Head.
Jude stole a laser gun and began shooting at the Kraang Apes. One was sick of her and grabbed Jude by the leg, swinging her around he threw the human at Leo, Mikey and Raph. All four of them fell through a portal which closed immediately.
The four were released into a dumpster and Jude groaned, all the swinging really upset her stomach. She wasn't sure if she was going to throw up or down or even sideways. At least she held onto the laser gun.
"Dudes, what dimension are we in?" Mikey whined. Raphael slapped him and they hopped out of the trash.
Leonardo clenched his teeth, "The others are trapped over there!"
Raphael quipped, "Yeah and the smart member of the team is trapped with them."
Mikey glared at Raph for picking on his intelligence again. Jude watched Mikey get over it as Raph began on Leonardo.
"This is your fault Leo! If you-."
The ground beneath their feet began to shake and trembled. "Woah! Earth quake!" Mikey exclaimed.
"We gotta find the source of these quakes!" Leonardo exclaimed. They followed him down an alley where they met their next adversary. A large humanoid tiger with a scarf and missing tail appeared before them. He wielded two guns and wore many rounds of ammo.
"Who the hell is that?" Raph barked.
"You may call me…Tiger Claw!" He exclaimed. "I ask only once. Summon your Rat Master!"
Raphael advanced, "Sorry pal! I'm not a cat person."
Tigerclaw shot at Raphael until he was knocked down behind them. Leonardo tried next and was also blasted to the ground. As the two strongest turtles got back to their feet, Michelangelo and Jude dodged Tigerclaw's shots and searched for any openings he would leave. Which, in fact, was not many.
"C'mon, we gotta get to higher ground." Mikey suggested. They climbed the wall adjacent and ran rooftops. Surprisingly Tigerclaw followed behind them on a jetpack.
The fight continued on the rooftop but this time Jude had an ace up her sleeve. If she could just get by unnoticed behind a pillar or something she could shoot Tigerclaw's jetpack without him being able to evade. She ducked down behind a staircase but the fight followed her. Tigerclaw was great on keeping all four of the ninjas on their toes.
Jude found her opening when the tiger swapped out his cartridge and blasted a net at Raphael. She shot a laser at him and missed but got him in the eye instead. Tigerclaw roared in pain and snarled at her. Jude ducked as he shot a net her way and ran around the chimney. He appeared above her and grabbed the girl by her neck and threw her into Michelangelo. Jude's sight became blurry as her head hit something hard. Black dots appeared in her vision and slowly connected into one large dark black mass.
When Jude came to she realized quickly she was in foreign territory. Her hair stood up on end and goosebumps prickled her skin. "Where am I?"
Voices became apparent to her the longer she stayed conscious.
"Most men would have expired by now, but its only weakened him. He may be small but he's tough as iron." Tigerclaw's voice rang out.
She moved her fingers slightly and realized her hands were bound behind her back. Her feet were left free and she laid on the floor in a large room. She slowly glanced around and saw Tigerclaw, Rahzar and Fishface all staring at Master Splinter who was chained up as well.
"What about that one." They glanced at Jude who shut her eyes quickly and pretended to not be conscious.
"That one took out my eye, I am going to request to deal with her myself." He growled and nudged her face with his foot.
A door opened and the mutants looked away from Jude and to the figure walking towards them.
"Bradford, Xever." He spoke, "Leave us."
The Shredder glared down at Splinter and said, "Hamato Yoshi, so you have come to this- a wretched rat man waiting to be put out of his misery."
"At least I do not wear a mask, hiding what little humanity I have left." Splinter said softly. He seemed frail, weak.
"It is because of you that I wear this mask!" He exclaimed.
Splinter shook his head, "All these years you continue to deceive yourself and the people around you."
Shredder took out his blades and exclaimed, "You dare, now it ends!"
He raised his arm and threw it down, "No Father!"
Karai stopped him. Jude no longer pretended to be unconscious, she watched the shredder approach his 'daughter' with malice. "You would stop me!"
"You'd kill your greatest enemy while he's poisoned and chained? What about honor? Everything you've taught me?"
"Hmm. Very well. Gather the foot. I will offer Hamato Yoshi one last fight."
They filed out of the room and Splinter asked Karai, "Why…did you help me?"
"I don't know, maybe because you look so pathetic." She responded.
"Heh, you have your mother's spirit, so fierce yet so scared."
"Never speak of my mother again!" Karai exclaimed. "You ruined my family; you ruined all of our lives!"
"No!" Splinter cried weakly, "It was-Oroku Saki."
Splinter fell to the ground again as Karai exited the room. They were left alone and Jude stood to her feet. After regaining her balance she ran to Splinter and tried to wake him. It was no use, the poison was too strong and it was making him weak.
"I have to get us out of here." She thought and looked around. There were no weapons or anything sharp that could cut through the rope on her hands. She tried to wiggle free but the rope wouldn't give. She searched Sensei and found nothing on him either. "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!"
She sat down next to Sensei and took a deep breath. "What would Leo do?"
Jude sat crisscross and meditated silently for some sort of answer. Answer came eventually, just not the one she thought it would be.
"Jude, Sensei Let's go!" Leo cut through their bonds. Jude opened her eyes and tried to help sensei up but fire lit around them creating a panic. Shredder appeared, followed by his minions. Tigerclaw held Leonardo while karai held Jude.
"Let me go!" Leo growled.
"Watch turtle, for it will be the last fight you ever see." The Shredder cackled, "The destruction of your master, Hamato Yoshi."
Splinter got to his feet and wavered slowly. He groaned and dodged Shredder's attacks the best he could but it was too much. He got kicked back towards the ground.
"You can do it Sensei." Leo cheered him on.
Shredder picked him up and said triumphantly, "Pathetic, I will put you out of your misery."
The ground began to shake again! Shredder lost his footing and stumbled backwards as Sensei fell to the ground. Splinter hit the glass and caused a domino effect in the glass to make the Shredder fall through.
Fireworks dropped from the ceiling and Leo and Jude were released from their captures. They hoisted Splinter up together and ran out of there. Raphael and Michelangelo led them across buildings.
"Stop, I need to rest." Splinter said.
"Have some water Sensei." Michelangelo offered his water.
"We'll keep a look out for those goons." Raph said. When he turned around Shredder's minions were waiting for them.
"Found them." Mikey smiled.
Leo and Jude took on Tigerclaw while Raph took on fish face and Michelangelo took Rahzar. Meanwhile Splinter meditated to his full health.
Splinter appeared in the nick of time and they cheered.
"Are you ready my students?" He exclaimed.
"Yeah!"
With Splinter on their side it was barely even a fight. Leonardo continued to try and tell Karai that Splinter was her father but she would not listen. Then, the ground shook for one last time causing Tigerclaw to lose his footing and get eaten by the cause of the quakes. A giant alien worm ridden by Casey and April.
With the baddies defeated the clan convened on the rooftop and watched the sunrise.
"I still can't believe that evil witch is your daughter." April said, "Ooh uh, sorry Master Splinter."
"Perhaps one day she will believe in the truth, but that is her decision."
Leo looked over the building longingly. Jude put her hand on his shoulder and smiled weakly. Leo nodded and wrapped his arms around her, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"My eyes!"
"Grow up!"
