"Soldier," said a female voice, "Have you found Karai, yet?"

"No," said the soldier, "We have scouted every inch of New York for Mistress Karai."

A female all dressed in black and purple with a witch's hat on her head was pacing back and forth within a dark abandoned lair. Behind her, there is a chair that looked like it was once sat on by someone who was prideful. Her black hair, which usually obscures half of her face, was pulled back as others can see the worry within her green eyes. Her friend, Karai, was missing ever since she said she would be visiting her family one day. Since then, Karai had not reported to her at all. "Shall we go and ask the Mutanimals if they have seen Mistress Karai," asked another soldier.

"No," said the female, "I shall go alone. You will be in command until Karai and I come back."

"As you wish," said the soldier.

"By the way," said the female as she was starting to depart, "Do you know the whereabouts of Shredder's henchmen?"

"No," said the first soldier from before, "We tried all of Shredder's old lairs, and it too was empty."

"That is disconcerting," murmured the female as she left the building.

Said female leapt over buildings towards one of the Mutanimals' hideouts. Once arriving, the female went through the front door cautiously. She didn't want any of the Mutanimals to try to harm her. It was then that one of the Mutanimals jumped down from the ceiling and started to trap the female. "Who are you and what do you want," asked a female voice.

"Names Shinigami, and I am a friend of Karai's," said the first female as she stared at the female in front of her.

The female that greeted her was a teal salamander in form and had white spots. The salamander in question looked at Shinigami as she assessed if she was telling the truth. Before she could ask any further questions, heavy footsteps came out from another room. Both females turned to the sound to see a large alligator coming in. The alligator in question looked at the females and blinked. "Ah, Shinigami," said the alligator, "I didn't know that you would be stopping by."

"Hello Leatherhead," said Shinigami, "I wish that I had dropped in for a friendly visit."

"What do you mean," asked Leatherhead.

"It seems as though Karai has disappeared, along with Shredder's main henchmen," said Shinigami solemnly.

"How long has Karai been gone," asked a new male voice.

Shinigami, Leatherhead, and the salamander turned to see Slash, the leader, coming in, along with the floating monkey form of Dr. Rockwell, Pigeon Pete, and the skateboarding form of Mondo Gecko. Leatherhead greeted his comrades before turning back to Shinigami. Shinigami looked the Mutanimals as she bit her lip. The only thing she knew was that Karai was visiting the turtles and hadn't texted her back that she was coming back to the Shredder's old lair. Looking at the Mutanimals, Shinigami decided to tell them all she knew. "Karai left to visit her family," said Shinigami, "You know, the turtles and Master Splinter. But, that was a few days ago. She also isn't responding to my calls or texts."

"She was last seen going to Raphael's place," asked the salamander.

"Yes," said Shinigami, "And sorry, but I don't really know your name."

"Mona Lisa," said the salamander, "I am Raphael's… um..."

"The Earth term is 'girlfriend', dudette," said Mondo Gecko.

"Yes," said Mona Lisa, "That."

"Well, it's nice to meet you," said Shinigami, "But, I wished it was in better circumstances."

Mona Lisa nodded her head as Shinigami could see the worry in her eyes. She should know since she was worried about her friend, Karai. Shinigami looked around to see that the Mutanimals were all worried about their turtle friends. She wished that she didn't have to come to the Mutanimals, but she felt like she needed all the help she could get. "So, what are we going to do," asked Mona Lisa as she turned to Slash.

"Shinigami, you said that Karai was at the turtles' lair, right," asked Slash.

"Yes," said Shinigami.

"My friends," said Rockwell, "I believe our answers will be AT our friends' place."

"Then, let's go," said Mondo and Pete as Pete landed on Mondo's form for faster transportation.

"Yes," said Leatherhead, "Let us go and see what has happened to our friends."

- 2003 Dimension: The Reservoir Lair –

"Achoo," sneezed Raph and Miwa.

"Bless you," said Calaveras.

"You two aren't coming down with anything, are you," asked Donnie who went in doctor mode.

"Nah," said Raph as he rubbed his beak/nose from where he was.

"I think someone is talking about us," said Miwa.

"If you are sure…," trailed off Donnie.

"Yes," said Miwa as Raph went back to punching Raphael's punching bag, "Let's get back to planning."

"Ok," said Ami, "We are going to have Miwa fight in the shadows so we can make sure that their motions at the 2012 turtles Shredder doesn't see her and maybe have her Uranus elemental powers be used on the Senshi's other foes."

"And this April motions at 2012-April will help her friends keep Shredder away from Yoshi-sensei as HE will deal with the evil Splinter," said Berthier.

"Now, for the other foes we have…," started Taiki.

- 2012 Dimension: Turtles' Subway Lair –

"It's so empty," said Pete as he looked around in his pigeon vision.

"I agree," said a shivering Mondo, "Creepy to the max!"

"Even if it is empty," said Rockwell, "It looks like there wasn't any battle at all."

Indeed, the turtles' lair was empty from all life, and it seemed like it was like that for some time now. Shinigami looked around as she walked into the pit. Leatherhead followed and was soon concerned as he stumbled upon a pizza box that STILL had pizza in it. He knew that Mikey wouldn't have left a pizza box half full of pizza. Slash went into Raph's room to search for clues, but all he saw was the same messy room that Raph left it, along with Raph's new turtle pet, Chompy. Mondo and Mona Lisa checked the other rooms for any sign that something wrong happened. They didn't find anything except for Ice Cream Kitty being in the freezer and blinking curiously at the two. "This is sad," said Mondo as he closed the freezer door, "The Mikester wouldn't leave behind his beloved mutated Ice Cream Kitty."

"And Raphael wouldn't have left Chompy alone either," said Slash as he came back from Raph's room with a hand full of Chompy.

"Poor Chompy," said Mona Lisa as she grabbed something from the kitchen quickly to feed the baby alien turtle.

"I think I found something," called out Rockwell.

Everyone looked at each other before rushing to where they heard Rockwell. Slash grumbled that of course, Donnie would have something to do with the disappearance of their friends, for everyone was right OUTSIDE Donnie's lab. Peering inside the lab doors, they saw Rockwell near a bunch of papers that look like schematics for something. Rockwell grabbed the papers and walked towards the others. Stepping out, everyone followed Rockwell to the pit where there was a table for them to examine what it is. "It seems as though Donatello was inventing with Kraang technology once more," said Rockwell as he looked at the schematics.

"Donatello is too smart for his own good," said a gruff Slash.

"What does this invention of his do," asked Mona Lisa.

"It says that it's some type of orb that creates dimensional portals," said Rockwell.

"Oh, like the time those weird turtles from the other dimension came through into ours," asked Shinigami.

"Quite," said Rockwell, "But, I believe that Donatello has forgotten to create a way to get back to our dimension."

"Hey," said Pete suddenly, "Is this the orb?"

"Looks like it," said Mona Lisa, "But, some parts look fried."

"Can you recreate it, Rockwell," asked Mondo.

"I can try," said Rockwell, "I would need Leatherhead's help as well since he knows more about Kraang technology than me."

"It would be my pleasure," said Leatherhead.

"Great," said Slash, "While you two get on that, the rest of us can just take care of the turtles' lair, along with their pets that they accidentally left behind."

- 2003 Dimension: The Reservoir Lair –

"Achoo," sneezed the 2012 universe violently, especially Donnie.

"Bless you," said Aluminum Siren.

"Are you ALL alright," asked Donatello in HIS own doctor mode.

"We're fine," said Leo.

"I really feel like someone is talking about me," said Mikey.

"Same," said Usa-chan.

"Well, do you guys have anyone worrying about you back in your dimension," asked Michelangelo.

The 2012 universe looked at each other. They knew that they were gone for some time from their dimension, but they didn't know how much time has passed. Thinking back, they finally realized who would be talking about them. "Shinigami," exclaimed Miwa.

"And the Mutanimals too," said 2012-Casey.

"Oh," groaned 2012-April, "They must be so worried about us."

"Well, we can't do anything about it now," said Donatello, "Not until I finish making the time dimensional window to get you all home."

"And besides," said Raphael, "Your enemies are here."

"That's true," sighed Leo, "Alright. Shall we get back to planning?"

"Indeed," said Master Splinter, "I would suggest that the Justice Force keep the mutants that came with your Shredder out of the way."

"It would be our pleasure," said Silver Sentry.

"And now, the ones who will keep the Foot Mystics busy…," started Nehelenia.

- 2012 Dimension: Turtles' Subway Lair –

"Achoo," sneezed everyone.

"Bless us," questioned Mondo.

"Yes," said Rockwell, "Bless us indeed."

"Anyways," said Slash who wanted to get back on track, "How long do you think it will take to fix and/or recreate that orb?"

"I'm not sure that we can, but we can certainly try," said Rockwell.

The Mutanimals and Shinigami all groaned at Rockwell's answer, not realizing that their friends were planning to finally end Shredder, his goons, and some other enemies with their counterparts. If they did know, they would have made Rockwell and Leatherhead work on it more so that they could help them fight. For now, Rockwell and Leatherhead went into Donnie's lab to try to fix the orb while the rest watched out for Ice Cream Kitty and Chompy, hoping their friends are alright and not in some trouble.
