Summary: The Lotus engage in a difficult battle as they make a desperate assault on TCRI to shut down an alien portal.
Lee stood on the edge of a building rooftop with a shocking face. She watched the Technodrome floating high in the sky. She even looked down to see every human in New York saw and stared the giant spherical ship above them with wide eyes.
"It's the...end of...the world!" Lee cried. "The end of humanity and mystic's reign!"
The Technodrome started aiming its antennae at the city and began firing neon pink energy lasers to wreak some havoc in the city. Thousands of terrifying citizens ran away from the energy lasers in a panic the Technodrome slowly floated over them.
Lee immediately looked back up to see a neon pink energy laser coming in her direction. Her eyes widened wide and stood hopelessly when the energy laser collided down at her position.
Suddenly, Lee gasped sharply as she opened her eyes wide and struggled to catch her breath for several more seconds.
Back in the Shadow Clan HQ, Saldana and Lady Shade suddenly rammed into one another in their white and black orbs. They flew down to the ground at the other ends of the throne room and floated in mid-air with glaring faces.
"Burakkurōzu Rozu." Saldana said softly. "You were once my best friend. I thought of you as my closest sister. Fifteen years ago, I was a different mystic with a loving husband and a wonderful children." Her calm face slowly changed into a fierce look. "But you let jealousy consumed your soul and you took everything that I loved. Everything! And still you hunt me down like a rabid dog. So, if you really wanted to fight me, go on and try!"
Saldana created an enormous ball of white energy and sent it flying straight at Lady Shade, who easily moved out of the way. Lady Shade began creating several powerful black energy balls and sent them one by one to hit Saldana's position, but Saldana easily avoided each powerful ball with remarkable speed.
Meanwhile, Lee finally took deep breaths and then looked around to find herself in a large room inside the massive Kraang warship. She looked down and found herself strapped to an obscure, metallic table. She also found her younger sisters and April are strapping to a table as well.
"Hey, girls. Wake up!" Lee called out.
April, Donna, Ellie, and Ella opened their eyes as they looked down to find themselves trapped to a strapped table with surprise faces.
"Whoa, where the heck are we?" Ellie asked as she and the others looked around the room.
"We're in some kind of a secret lab room." Donna answered. "But without the computers and other Kraang machinery."
"Hey, who are you guys?" April asked the Lotus Ninjas.
Lee, Ella, and Ellie stiffened for a moment. But Donna moved her index finger in a circle and pointed her magic at her forehead.
Girls, use your masks. Donna spoke telepathically. Disguise our voices, so April won't recognize us.
Lee, Ella, and Ellie nodded their heads as they and Donna looked at April.
"We are the Lotus Ninjas, April O'Neil." Lee spoke.
"How do you know my name?" April asked with a raised eyebrow.
"From TCRI." Donna answered. "We found out from the data drive that not only the Kraang need you, but the four of us as well."
"Why? Do you girls have the same powers as me?" April asked again.
"Not really." Ella responded. "We were naturally adept at magic. We were born that way."
"That's when we learn that the Kraang wants to channel our magical energies for their invasion along with your powers." Ellie said. "But we don't know exactly what the real reason why."
Suddenly, a gigantic ten feet Kraang staring down at the girls menacingly. His pupils are star shaped and has tendrils over his mouth with bulky and dark red tentacles. He also has three hexagonal decorations on his forehead.
"April O'Neil and Lotus Ninjas!" Kraang Prime spoke. "Kraang has waited a long time."
"Where are we? What's going on?" April asked.
"Like all Kraang, I am called Kraang. But you can call me Kraang." Kraang Prime answered. "Kraang has need of this planet for Kraang to live on."
"Um, that's great, but we're kind of using it." April said.
"So you came all this way for nothing." Lee retorted. "What a huge bummer."
"No. Kraang came all this way for you, April O'Neil." Kraang Prime said.
"Wait a minute. So if you came for April, why do you need us?" Donna asked.
"Kraang has found your magic abilities useful for destroying enemies." Kraang Prime answered. "Especially when you four possesses tremendous power from the Four Dragoness."
"Four Dragoness?" Lee and Ellie said together with raised eyebrows.
"But they were destroyed years ago." Donna explained. "So, you got the wrong mystics to think we are the Four Dragoness."
"Four Dragoness or not, there's no way you're using my powers for your stupid invasion!" Ella snapped.
"As if I have anything to offer to you Kraangs." April commented.
"Your mental energy is uniquely attuned to this universe." Kraang Prime explained. "Once Kraang gains this ability, Kraang will transform your world into a world for Kraang with the Lotus as our slaves to my conquest."
"And how are you going to do that exactly?" April asked.
Then suddenly, a swarm of electrodes started converging on April, who began screaming at the sight of the electrodes.
"April!" Lee, Donna, Ella, and Ellie yelled.
Then, another swarm of electrodes appeared in front of the Lotus Ninjas. They moved their heads away from them, but it was no use for them to resist as they felt an electrode converge on their heads.
Back in the Shadow Clan HQ, Saldana and Lady Shade floated back to the ground in mid-air. They both emitted themselves in white and black aura of sheer magical energy.
"How can feed your hatred into some insane obsession?" Saldana demanded.
"Because you took Caesar from me!" Lady Shade countered. "You knew how I felt about him and he still chose you anyway!"
Lady Shade shot out black energy blasts to attack Saldana, but Saldana swiftly jumped out and send out a white energy rope to catch her. The white mystic was about to attack a powerful white energy beam into her rival to end this, but Lady Shade used her black energy force field to set herself free and dodged Saldana's attack.
"You only let your hatred fulfill your dark mind." Saldana said with a glare. "Your insanity cannot defeat me! You possess only arrogance and destruction! There isn't any reason to have anything!"
"Is that so? You think I don't have anything after what happened back in Japan, but you're wrong." Lady Shade declared with a smirk. "You took Caesar away from me, so I took someone precious from you. Your son."
Saldana's eyes widened and gasped softly. Her mind was racing rapidly. The six year old mystic boy that she thought perish in the fire was actually raised by Lady Shade as her own child.
"No...no..." Saldana breathed. "It can't be."
Back in the Technodrome, Kraang Prime fitted the Lotus Ninjas and April with terrifying helmet-like devices. The helmet device was siphoning up April's cerebral energies and transferring them into Kraang Prime while the other helmet devices were programming the Lotus Ninjas into following all of Kraang Prime's instructions. The Lotus Ninjas' birthmarks popped out on their bodies as a quick spreading of incandescent colored marks appeared all over their clothing and skins.
"April O'Neil, your mind belongs to Kraang. Soon, your world will be ours with the Lotus as Kraang's devoted servants. Let the mutation and mind control begin." Kraang Prime said.
The room was energizing with psychic Kraang-like energy as Kraang Prime then successfully began using April's cerebral energies to begin the planet-wide mutation of Earth.
"Witness the end of your kind." Kraang Prime said.
"Not if we can help it!"
Kraang Prime turned around to see four mutant turtles burst in the room from the vent. Lee was able to sense the mutants' auras and formed a smile on her face when she recognized one of them.
"The Turtles? Kraang will not be stopped by pathetic mutants!" Kraang Prime shouted.
"At least we're not stupid aliens!" The orange masked turtle retorted.
Ellie grinned widely for hearing Mikey's voice.
"Raph, quick!" Leo ordered.
Raph dove toward the Kraang Prime and kicked him hard between the eyes in the face. The purple mutant turtle was able to release April and Donna from the table and the helmet as Leo and Mikey did the same with Lee, Ella, and Ellie that instantly shut down the active mutation ray in the process. April and the Lotus Ninjas regained consciousness after they freed from the Kraang Prime's clutches.
"You're my hero." Donna smiled as she looked up at Donnie.
Donnie blushed with a chuckle at Donna.
"Hey, chuckles. We gotta get out of here." Raph spoke up.
"He's right. Let's get out of here." Ella agreed.
The Turtles, the Lotus Ninjas, and April made their move to escape out of the giant spherical ship. But they were unaware that Kraang Prime pulled itself out from the wall and started pursuing after them within his gigantic robotic body.
Back in the Shadow Clan HQ, Saldana started to become vulnerable when her knees collapsed on the ground as she couldn't believe that Lady Shade took his son and raised him as her own child. Lady Shade saw Saldana's distraction and took the perfect opportunity to turn the tide of battle. Lady Shade charged forward and performed a jumping knee strike on Saldana's chest before launching her upwards as she somersaulted back to the ground. As Lady Shade landed on her feet in a crouching position, she formed a black energized razor-sharp claw on her right hand and sprang up towards Saldana to deliver a quick series of slashes from multiple directions before slamming them into the ground.
Saldana got up shakily to her hands and knees with massive pain. Lady Shade walked over to the downed Saldana with her black energized razor-sharp claw in the air.
"Thank you for showing me your defeat, Shiroibara." Lady Shade said with a triumphant smile. "Now, close your eyes and die."
Saldana suddenly jumped from the ground and locked her hard gaze on the black mystic mistress as if a new source of strength that helped Saldana rid the pain. Lady Shade backed away real quick and then shot out large balls of black energy at Saldana. But the white mystic mistress avoided all of the energy balls with extraordinary speed. Lady Shade glared hard as she spun around rapidly and shot multiple black energy spheres at the white mystic mistress. Saldana evaded the energy spheres and moved close to Lady Shade's stunned face. Saldana delivered a spinning back kick to jam Lady Shade's stomach with her right foot and violently erupted the gathered white energy magic right through Lady Shade from the stomach to the back.
"Now, you will face cold embrace!" Saldana shouted angrily.
Saldana sprang into the air with a twisting reverse back flip and launched a giant white energy sphere that hit all over Lady Shade, sending the black mystic mistress flying in the air and slammed into the stairs as her crowned mask fell off from her face and hit the ground away from her. Lady Shade used enough strength to sit up and looked back at Saldana with a glare, but her furious glare quickly changed into a horror face as Saldana constructed a sword out of magical energy. The sword has a slightly dark white with a hint of marron pommel resembling a rosebud embedded in it. The guard and knuckle bow of the sword are white with the guard having an image of a four-petaled maroon flower in the middle. The grip is dark white as the grip, guard, and knuckle bow are inscribed with a twirling thorn design. At the base of the blade, the rain guard is shaped like a white rose with the two outer petals being dark white.
"I'll cleanse your murderous disgrace for my family." Saldana declared.
Saldana charged forward and swung her sword swiftly with an enraged shout.
"Leave her alone!"
Saldana's sword suddenly clashed with another sword. She quickly turned to block the next sword strike and swung her sword a few times, but each strike was deflected until two mystic warriors found their swords locked. Saldana looked at Kage with a glare. Kage glared dangerously at Saldana with a growl. But Saldana started to perceive Kage's essence with her magic and saw what the mystic ninja's true identity that made her eyes widen in utter shock and surprise.
"Shori?" Saldana spoke with a soft gasp.
Kage's eyes softened with a surprise face, but he shook his head and swung his sword again. Saldana moved out of the way and landed few inches away from Kage, who hurried over to the wounded Lady Shade.
"Mother!" Kage gasped with a concern face.
"Kage." Lady Shade spoke weakly. "That woman is Shiroibara Saldana."
Saldana's eyes widened and stared at the teenage mystic ninja.
"Shori." Saldana spoke softy.
"My name is Kage!" Kage shouted as he turned around to face Saldana. "Mother told me you killed my father. And now it's my turn to return the favor."
Kage charged forward at Saldana with his sword while Lady Shade chuckled darkly from the stairs.
Before Kage could deliver a sword strike, Saldana turned around and sprang high on the platform in front of the stain glass window. She turned to stare at her long-lost son with a sad face.
"You dare run away from a fight?" Kage demanded angrily. "Don't think we're finished here! Next time, I'll let you live long enough to destroy you!"
"I will return for you, my son. I promise." Saldana muttered with a quiet sigh.
With that, Saldana turned away from the girl and exited the Shadow Clan building through the stain glass window hole.
Back in the Technodrome, the Turtles and the Lotus Ninjas raced their way to escape the giant Kraang ship as quickly as we can. The Kraang droids began attacking them with their laser guns, but Mikey and Ellie took the alien droids down together.
"So, how did you get here, Ellie?" Mikey asked quietly to Ellie. "And what's with the mask?"
"It's a long story, but the mask can disguise my voice, so April and your brothers won't recognize me." Ellie replied. "Pretty cool, right?"
"Our little secret." Mikey smiled with a wink.
Raph and Ella took down the next alien droids with their strengths.
"Thanks for the team up, sweetheart. But who are you really?" Raph asked.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." Ella responded.
The Turtles and the Lotus Ninjas entered into a hallway as they saw more Kraang and Kraang droids in their direction. Mikey, Ellie, Raph, and Ella easily worked together to take the Kraang and Kraang droids out.
"The mask looks new. Nothing from the traditional version." Donnie said Donna in a quiet tone.
"That's because I've invented them." Donna explained. "It can disguise my voice into something different that way April and your brother won't get suspicious."
"Very clever." Donnie smiled.
"Thanks." Donna smiled back.
As Raph kicked one Kraang droid down to the ground floor, the cruiser exploded that caused the Technodrome to tip over.
"Leo, I have a question!" Mikey shouted.
"Can it wait?" Leo asked
"Not really." Mikey answered. "Did we beat that big Kraang thingie?"
"And why would he ask that?" Lee asked Leo with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, Mikey, we did." Leo answered.
"Then, why is it following us?" Mikey shouted.
The Turtles and the Lotus Ninjas stopped running as they turned around to see Kraang Prime approaching behind them. But this time, Kraang Prime was inside his custom built robotic body. His built robotic body was a massive, twenty-five foot mechanical weapon with long tentacle-like arms and a powerful energy weapon mounted at the head. Kraang Prime continued heading toward the Turtles and Lotus Ninjas. The mutant turtles and the mystic kunoichi began running away from him as Kraang Prime started firing neon pink jagged lasers at them.
"Everybody, there's two last escape pods up ahead." Donnie said in alert.
"We can use them to escape our way out of here!" Donna exclaimed.
The Turtles and the Lotus Ninjas made their way to the escape pods. But Mikey and Ellie got accidentally caught in the jagged lasers as Kraang Prime was going to finish Mikey and Ellie off with one laser blast.
Leo drew his katana sword and dashed forward to cut the laser blaster from the robot, leaving Lee to reach her water whips out to her youngest sister and the orange masked turtle as she pulled them away from Kraang Prime.
"There's nowhere for you to run, mutants and mystics!" Kraang Prime hollered.
Mikey, Raph, April and Donnie made their way into one escape pod while Ellie, Ella, and Donna made their way into another escape pod. Leo and Lee stayed out as they looked back at Kraang Prime with glares.
"All of you will die here!" Kraang Prime cried.
Leo and Lee stared at Kraang Prime. They both knew that they have to stay behind and hold Kraang Prime back, so their team can escape out of the Technodrome alive.
The most important thing is to complete your mission with the world at stake. Saldana's voice spoke in Lee's mind. No matter who or what you have to sacrifice.
Lee and Leo exchanged glances as they nodded their heads and made their final decision.
Lee used one water whip to seize Mikey's kusarigama and handed over to Leo, who boldly Mikey's kusarigama chain all the way around Kraang Prime to hold him back. Lee created another water whip and latched both whips to grab Kraang Prime's robotic tentacles with her strength.
"Leo!" Raph cried.
"Go! Get out of here now!" Leo shouted.
"Sis, you can't do this!" Ella shouted.
"Go!" Lee insisted. "We can't hold it back any longer!"
Kraang Prime continued to fight back against the kusarigama chain and the water whips.
"We gotta go now!" Donnie said.
"He's right! We have to move!" Donna said.
The escape pods closed and began floating toward the exit. The kusarigama chain snapped and Kraang Prime almost fell toward the escape pods, but Lee's water whips were able to restrain him.
"Leona!" Ella screamed as she stared out of the glass with an astounded face.
The escape pod flew out of the Technodrome and into the water of the ocean until the escaped pod floated to the surface.
"We did it!" Donna cheered. "We made it out alive!"
Donna, Ellie, and Ella saw the Technodrome falling into the water and began sinking down into the murky depths of the ocean.
"No! Lee!" Ellie cried.
"I can't believe she's gone." Donna gasped in a sad tone.
"Lee." Ella sighed. She sat down with a small sulk and tried to fight back the tears. "She always has been our leader and I've been nothing but a pain for her position. If I had the chance to start over, I will definitely be more respect and loyal to her."
"I would definitely love that." A familiar voice spoke.
Ella's tears suddenly stopped as she and her younger sisters recognized that voice. They looked over to the source of that familiar voice and saw a blue mystic kunoichi swimming toward the escape pod.
"Lee!" Donna and Ellie smiled.
Lee smiled with a chuckle at her younger sisters.
"Lee, you're so lucky I can't kill you right now!" Ella shouted with a smile.
Ella and Donna helped Lee out of the water. Lee climbed into the pod and the mystics got together into a big group hug.
"We won!" Ellie cheered.
The Lotus Ninjas looked around to see other escape pods rising out of the ocean water. Every unharmed citizens that was inside cheered in relief. They can't believe they saved the world from a Kraang invasion with the Turtles. Speaking of the Turtles, the Lotus Ninjas haven't seen their escape pod. But they knew they will see them again someday.
Back in the Crete Fortress, the Lotus Ninjas are celebrating their victory while eating pizza in the living room.
"Who save the world?" Ellie asked.
"We save the world!" Ella, Lee, and Donna answered.
"Yeah, you know it!" Ellie cheered.
"So, Lee, how did you and that turtle were able to make it out alive anyway?" Ella asked Lee.
Lee's eyes widened slightly as she started remembering what happened earlier.
[Flashback]
Lee and Leo jumped off the Technodrome and went into the ocean water. Leo opened his eyes and watched Lee summoning a large water bubble to protect themselves underwater.
"You are full of surprise." Leo said with a smile.
"Well, I am a mystic, after all." Lee smiled back.
"I hope the others were able to escape in time." Leo said.
Lee closed her eyes and used her aura sense to detect Leo's team and her team.
"Yes, they're safe." Lee spoke. "I'll let you swim up to them."
"I hope we will meet again some time." Leo said.
Lee leaned over to kiss Leo's cheek, making him blush with wide eyes.
"I'm sure we will." Lee said with a smile.
[Flashback Ends]
"We jumped out of the Technodrome and swam away after it sank down to the ocean." Lee answered.
Casey looked to see Saldana walking into the dojo with a sad look on her face. He followed her and found her staring at her family picture.
"Is everything alright, Saldana?" Casey asked.
"Everything is fine, Casey." Saldana responded.
"I also want to you for saving my life from Lady Shade." Casey said.
"It's my pleasure." Saldana said calmly. "But I did discover some information from Lady Shade."
"What information?" Lee asked as she entered into the dojo.
"That all will be revealed for another time, Leona." Saldana replied. She then let out a smile across her face. "You save the world from an alien invasion, so this calls for a celebration."
"You got that right." Ellie smiled as she, Ella, and Donna entered inside the dojo. She put her arm over Lee's shoulder. "Let's get this party started."
Then, the dance party got started.
Phantom was scratching the records with both her hands at the DJ system. Casey moved himself left to right before doing a moonwalk on the ground. Ella performed hip hop and pop choreography. Ellie performed a combination moves of Japanese and Chinese hip hop. Donna performed graceful and elegant robotic moves with a touch of pop dance movement. Lee performed a combination moves of Japanese choreography.
The Lotus Ninjas and Casey triumphantly celebrated their victory with a big dance party.
At the bottom of the ocean, the Technodrome was lying offline on the ocean ground until it slowly began to light up for its return.
