Viola stared in shock at her twin sister Vanessa, who she though died in a fire six years ago, but was standing right across from her, alive and looking vengeful.
"V-Vanessa?" Viola called out, her voice squeaking a little as she tried her best not to cry.
Vanessa raised an eyebrow, but kept her glare, "How does she know who I am Master Shredder?"
"Master Shredder?" Raph questioned.
"As a clone, she knows everything, which is why you must destroy her" Shredder ordered.
"Clone?!" Viola shouted in rage this time, "What did you do to my sister?!"
"Silence!" Vanessa shouted back at her, unsheathing her sword and gripped the hilt tightly between her hands, "You are a creation of Master Shredders greatest enemy, a clone made from my stolen DNA, and those who stand against him shall be destroyed by my hand, and I'll start with you, clone!" Vanessa charged, jumping up in the air and brought her sword down to Viola, but she blocked it with her sword and they pushed against each other.
"What is the matter with you Vanessa?" Viola questioned, "I'm not a clone from your 'stolen DNA', I'm your twin sister; what has the Shredder done to you!"
"Enough talk!" Vanessa struck again with her sword and Viola blocked again.
"Attack!" Shredder ordered to the others, "Destroy them all!" Baxter Stockman, who was nothing but a head in a robotic spider body, laughed menacingly and Professor Honeycutt gasped in shock and fright.
"Oh dear, and I thought I was stuck with an unpleasant robot body" Baxter fired a laser from the spiders body and knocked Professor Honeycutt into the pods.
"My sons, attack!" Splinter ordered.
The turtles and Splinter charged into the battle, fighting against the Foot ninjas and the Foot Elite were rushing towards Mr. Mortu before more of the Guardians came in.
"Protect Mr. Mortu!" one of the Guardians said as they all rushed to aid him with their glowing swords.
They jumped to stand between the Foot Elite and Mr. Mortu and fought against each other. Splinter was faced against Hun, but he managed to knock him across the room with apparent ease. The Shredder had soon jumped in to stand in front of Mr. Mortu.
"Mortu" Shredder called out, "I have anticipated this moment for nearly 10 centuries!"
"I'm surprise that with your genius, it took you a thousand years to find us!" Mr. Mortu taunted.
Mr. Mortu and Shredder soon engaged in battle and Mr. Mortu was holding his own in the fight with surprising ease than the last time they saw him fight against the Shredder.
"If those guys have been enemies for that long!" Leo called out as he blocked and kicked another Foot soldier down, "Then that means..."
"This is the same Shredder from a thousand years ago!" Splinter finished.
When Mr. Mortu stepped back from another attack, but was then captured by Hun. But before the Shredder could make a final blow, the other Utroms came in and fired lasers at them, making Hun release Mr. Mortu. The Utroms continued to fire at Shredder, but then he jumped up, grabbed two of the Utroms and threw them down and knocked down the others.
One of the Foot Elite was about to strike one of the Utroms, but then Leo jumped in and grabbed him, moving out of the way before he got hit and then kicked the man down. Another Foot Elite charged at Leo and tried to attack the Utrom he was holding, but moved him out of the way before he could get a hit.
"Sorry about this" Leo said and reeled the Utrom back, "Donnie, go long!" Leo threw the Utrom across the room and Donnie managed to catch him and then placed him back on the small hovercraft.
"At last" Baxter said as he approached Raph and Mikey, "It's time I finally have my revenge on you annoying mutations"
"Stockman?" Raph questioned and laughed as he and Mikey put their weapons away, "I almost didn't recognize you; new hair cut?"
Baxter glared at them and then fired the lasers from his robotic spider body and shot the two turtles across the room. He laughed as he continued to fire at the two turtles. Mr. Mortu continued to fight the Shredder, but then Shredder kicked him down and caused Mr. Mortu to fall out of his robot body.
"Mr. Mortu!" Viola shouted as she looked over at him.
"Wrong move!" Vanessa said and then kicked Viola across the room.
Shredder looked over at Baxter, "Stockman, hold, you have more important business!"
"Never!" Baxter objected, "My revenge comes first!" Baxter fired at the turtles again.
"I said hold!" Shredders eyes glowed a darker red and Stockman's body started to spark red and he was electrocuted, "Initiate phase three, now!"
"Yes master" Baxter said and scurried away, "The device will soon be under your control"
Mr. Mortu pushed himself up straight, "The device!" Donnie picked Mr. Mortu up and placed him back in his robot body, "The transmat! We must stop that cyborg before-" Before they could rush to catch up with Baxter, Hun and two of the Foot Elite blocked the exit.
Shredder laughed, "You will go nowhere!"
Leo ambushed him and kicked the Shredder into an organic pod, causing him to get stuck. Mr. Mortu rushed over to the control panel and started to press some buttons, causing the line connecting to the organic pod to enclose and trap Shredder.
Hun and an Elite rushed over to the pod and tried to tear it open to get him out while the others continued to fight against the others. Mr. Mortu, the Guardians and a few of the other Urtoms ran out of the room to get to the transmat before Baxter could do anything to it.
Shredder had soon burst out of the pod, "After the Utrom, now!"
Before Shredder, Hun and the Elite could exit the room, the turtles and Splinter blocked the way. Vanessa had then landed roughly in front of the Shredder and Viola jumped in to stand with the turtles and Splinter.
"I'm sorry Vanessa" Viola apologized.
Vanessa stood up and wiped the blood from her mouth, "I know you wish to destroy your enemies by your hand Master Shredder, but let me have the honor to finish off my clone"
"You may have the honor, but not at this moment" Shredder said.
"You have to go through us first" Raph said and he held his sais high.
"You're not worth wasting my time" Shredder said and then started to press some buttons on the control panel.
Some kind of substance came out and blocked the exit and then some weird white liquid came pouring out from the walls and pods. Some weird tunnel came out from the wall and Shredder, Hun, the Elites and Vanessa ran into it and the tunnel disappeared back into the wall.
Everyone rushed to the walls and started to hit it, trying to figure a way out, but the walls didn't budge and Donnie was at the control panel, trying to figure out how to find a way out as the room was filling up with the white liquid.
"It's no good, I can't work these controls!" Donnie exclaimed.
Leo sliced at the wall, but then it closed up again, "I keep slicing at the wall, but it just heals itself, it's like the rooms alive"
"We have to get out! We just have to!" Viola shouted as she repeatedly sliced the wall and it closed up every time.
"Viola!" Raph called out, grabbing her hand before she struck at the wall again and faced her towards him, "Well find a way out, I promise" Viola looked at him as she panted, frustrated and worried about her sister.
"Wait" Donnie called out as he walked to stand with the others, "That's it, this is a techno organic chamber, we need to think a little less techno and a little more organic" Donnie used his staff and hit the wall and it jiggled, "See, the walls have techno organic nerve endings, they can feel; just follow my rhythm" Donnie said and started to hit the wall and the others soon followed, "If we can agitate the nerve endings just so..."
As they continued to hit the walls, the room was starting to make a weird noise and they had soon stopped when the room started to shake violently. "She's gonna blow!" Donnie shouted. The white liquid shot up, along with the turtles, Splinter and Viola and they exploded out through the ceiling and into a hallway, landing roughly on the ground.
"Ok, that was nasty" Mikey said as he stood up.
"Urg, it's like we popped a zit!" Viola groaned in disgust, wiping the white liquid off of her face.
Outside the building, April, Casey and the girls were still sitting around, watching the army destroy the front doors of the building and made their way inside. But there were some blasting sounds and some men came back out with their unconscious team on their shoulders.
"We can't sit around anymore, we need to know what's going on in there" April said as she was changing in the back while Casey sat in the front, covering his eyes as she changed, "The authorities won't talk to us, but they might talk to a TV news reporter" When April finished changing, she stepped out to reveal herself wearing a yellow jumpsuit, holding a microphone in her hand. "How do I look?" April asked and Casey turned to look at her.
"Uh, great" Casey said, "If you're a moving toxic waste"
April then punched Casey in the shoulder and the girls laughed, "You're no help"
"I think you look good in a jumpsuit April" Winter said.
"Thanks" April said, then she picked up a homemade news camera and held it out to Casey, "Can you at least be my cameraman?"
"Do I have a choice?" Casey questioned.
"I don't think the authorities will believe that a fourteen year old girl got a job as a cameraman" Phoebe said.
Back inside the building, the Guardians and the Utroms were standing guard of the transmat.
"Guardians, be ready for anything" Mr. Mortu ordered.
Suddenly, two devices were tossed in front of them and they started to spark, they jumped out of the way in time as they exploded and the Shredder and Vanessa stepped out from the smoke. The Utroms began to fire at him, but the lasers just bounced off of his suit and they weren't even attacking Vanessa because they saw that she looked like Viola.
"Stay back!" Mr. Mortu exclaimed at him, "I will not let you destroy the transmat!" Mr. Mortu charged forward to attack Shredder, but then he stuck him, knocking him onto the transmat and it began to glow.
"I do not intend to destroy it Mortu" Shredder said as he walked up the stairs, "I will use it to send you to your doom; perhaps I'll place you in the extreme heat of a supernova, or the cold endless vacuum of space" Baxter then shocked Professor Honeycutt, knocking him onto the transmat as well. "And you're just the beginning, after I dispose of you, I will use this device to concur the whole world of the Utroms and I'll destroy every last one of your kind Mortu!"
"Not if we got anything to say about it!"
Shredder turned around and saw that the turtles, Splinter and Viola were standing at the entrance of the door way, their weapons out and ready to fight. "Remember us" Raph said as he twirled his sais around.
"I grow tire of you creatures and your constant interference!" Shredder exclaimed, "Elite ninjas, attack!" the Elite sharged forward at the turtles, "Stockman, power up the transmat, finish Mortu and his friends!"
"Yes master" Baxter said and walked away.
"Shredder!" Viola shouted as she charged as him, jumping up in the air and brought her sword down. But Vanessa jumped in between them and blocked the attack and they began to fight against each other again.
"We have to stop Stockman!" Leo called out as he fought against an Elite.
"And here I am fresh out of bug spray!" Mikey exclaimed as he fought against an Elite as well.
"Why don't we just get Shredder to ask him to stop!" Raph shouted as he blocked the Elite's ax, "Stockman seems to listen to him"
"That's it!" Donnie exclaimed as he blocked the Elite's attack, "Stockman's control must be voice activated!" Donnie evaded the Elite and jumped to crouch down near Professor Honeycutt, "Psst, Professor Honeycutt, can your audio processor replicate any sound?"
"Of course" Professor Honeycutt answered.
"We need your best impersonation of the Shredder now"
Professor Honeycutt started to beep a bit before he talked liked Shredder, "Stockman, step away from the controls" Stockman stopped what he was doing and stepped away and the Shredder saw this.
"Stockman, don't listen to him, you obey only me!" Shredder said.
"Don't listen to him, override all voice command protocols" Professor Honeycutt said.
Baxter started to spark before he shook his head, "I'm-I'm free! I obey no one now!" Baxter jumped on the Shredder and electrocuted him. Everyone stopped what they were doing as they watch Shredder scream as he fell against the transmat. Baxter soon stopped electrocuting him and Shredder fell to the ground.
"I'm free, free of him at last!" Baxter laughed as he walked away from Shredder.
"Master Shredder!" Vanessa exclaimed and rushed over to him and soon Hun and the Elite rushed alongside her.
"Do you think the Shredder is?" Leo started.
Hun picked up the Shredders body, "We'll be back freaks"
Something slipped out of the Shredders hand as they began to leave and bounced near the turtles. The thing hand claws that sunk into the floor and it began to countdown and weird red lasers started to seep through the floors and spread throughout the room. Donnie and Mikey walked over to it and Donnie bent down to try and pick it up.
"Do not touch it!" Mr. Mortu exclaimed as he ran over to them, "It's an Utrom implosion device, the techno organic virus it contains will destroy you; already it has thoroughly infected the system, the entire building will implode in less than ten minutes!" Everyone gasped in shock and horror.
"Can't you stop it!" Donnie questioned.
"No" Mr. Mortu said gravely, "Unfortunately, the virus was comprehensive, it spread too quickly"
"So Shredder found a way to stick it to us" Raph said, "Even in defeat" A screen had appeared in front of Mr. Mortu and it showed the Councilors again.
"The human troops-"
"Are making their way-"
"Deeper into the building"
"We have to get them out before the place implodes" Leo said.
"The lower floors are completely sealed off, there's no way to contact them" Mr. Mortu said.
"There must be someone on the outside we can contact!" Mikey and Raph seemed to think the same thing and looked at each other.
Outside, April and Casey made their way through the crowd towards the general.
"General!" April called out, "April O'Neil, channel nine news" the number on her suit slipped and turned upside down, "Uh, channel six news; what can you tell us about the situation inside?"
"Reporters, I said keep them back behind the barricade!" the general ordered and one of the troops pushed them back.
"Sir, the people have a right to know!" April called out, "General!"
"April, Casey" a voice called out on their ear phones, "It's me, Leo"
"Hello?" April and Casey said as they listened closer.
"Leo?" April called out, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm hearing your voice!"
"Me neither" Casey said, "When did you get three way calling?" April elbowed Casey in the chest, "Ow! What?"
"Hello! Alive!"
"Oh, right, woohoo!"
"Listen, you have to get the message out to evacuate the building, it's gonna self-destruct in about six minutes" Leo informed.
"General!" April called out as she approached the man again, "My, uh, station manager just received an urgent message, from, uh, terrorist organization calling itself-"
"Goongala-Cowaunga" Casey finished and April gave him a look.
"They're gonna blow up the building, you have to get your men out of there in the next-"
"I thought I told you to keep those lunatics behind the barricades!" the general scolded the soldier.
"But general!" April called out as they were pushed away again.
Back inside of the building, the bomb was nearly down to five minutes and the Guardians and more of the Utroms began to run into the room.
"Mr. Mortu" one of the Utroms called out, "The transmat is powered up"
"Primary team, assemble on the platform" Mr. Mortu ordered, "We're going home" two of the Utroms in body suits kneeled down and they crawled out of their suits.
"I hate walking on my tentacles" one of the Utroms complained.
"Oh shut up Kraang" the other Utrom said.
Viola walked over to them and picked them up and then placed them on the transmat. "Have a safe trip home" Viola said with a smile and walked back to stand with the turtles.
A Guardian walked up to stand with the two Utroms and the transmat started to light up and they soon disappeared like they had did when they first arrived. Once they had disappeared, the Councilors rode in the room on their chairs.
"Mortu, we are the last, the others have been evacuated"
"Secondary team will accompany the Council" Mr. Mortu said.
The Councilors departed from the chairs in glass hovercrafts and landed in the Guardians hands and they stepped onto the transmat.
"It is good-"
"To be going-"
"Home"
"Professor Honeycutt, would you care to join us?" Mr. Mortu asked, "We would gladly offer you asylum on our home world"
"Really? Me?" Professor Honeycutt asked, "To live amongst an advance, peaceful civilization where I can use my knowledge and skills for good? It's a dream come true" Professor Honeycutt turned to face the turtles and Viola, "But my friends, I will miss you; I-I can't thank you enough"
"Take care of yourself Professor" Donnie said.
"It was a wonderful experience to meet someone like you" Viola said. Professor Honeycutt soon walked to step up on the platform.
"Mr. Mortu" Leo spoke, "Thank you, for everything"
"Man, I hate long goodbyes" Mikey sobbed and hugged Raph as he continued to cry, which annoyed Raph a bit.
"It has been an honor to know you and your race Mortu-san" Splinter said as he bowed to him.
"It is we who are honor master Splinter" Mr. Mortu said and bowed to him.
"I wish to thank you as well" Viola said as she stepped to stand beside of Splinter, "For telling me of my ancestor, her true story of where she began"
"It has been an honor to know that at least one of her offspring's knows where she truly began in her life and we hope to meet again in the near future" Mr. Mortu said and bowed to her as well, "Before we leave, a small token of our appreciation" Mr. Mortu held out his hand and a glass orb appeared and he handed it to Splinter.
Something happened and it seemed to make Splinter go into some kind of trance, "You're master Yoshi was the most loyal, next to Varuna, that has ever served the Utrom, he gave his life to protect us, but his spirit lives in our collective history" Splinter soon came back out of his trance and he wiped away the tears filling his eyes, "And now my friends, you must leave this building while you still can" Mr. Mortu kneeled down and crawled out of his body and Viola picked him up, "Donatello, will you do me the honor of powering up the transmat"
"Sweet!" Donnie exclaimed excitedly and rushed to the panel as Viola placed Mr. Mortu on the transmat, "I'm all over it"
"Of course you are" Viola laughed, "You'll be over anything that you can get your grubby little hands on"
Before Donnie could do anything, something was thrown at the panel and it sparked as Donnie jumped away from it. They looked to see that the Shredder and the others have returned.
"As long as I live, you will not leave this place alive!" Shredder exclaimed.
Viola stepped forward and drew her sword, "I admire your sick, twisted determination, but I shall be the one that breaks it!"
Vanessa had stepped forward as well and drew her sword, "But I shall break you first"
The twins narrowed their eyes at each other and then charged at the same time, engaging in another battle. The Shredder had soon jumped in as well and started to attack Splinter and the turtles, knocking them down one at a time.
When he finished them off, he made his way towards the transmat, "For a thousand year struggle ends now!"
One of the Guardians drew his sword as the Shredder got closer, but then the turtles ambushed him, managing a few hits before Splinter jumped in and kicked him off the transmat. The Guardian handed the Council he was holding and was about to engage in the fight, but Donnie held him back.
"No, protect your masters, we'll handle the Shredder!"
Hun and the Elite had then left the room while Shredder stood back up and made his way back towards the turtles and Splinter. Donnie was back at the control panel, trying to work out the wrecked controls before he hit a button and the transmat began to work again.
"We shall meet again" the Guardian said and they began to disappear.
"After ten centuries, I will not be denied my revenge!" Shredder exclaimed. The Shredder rushed to catch them, but they had completely disappeared, enraging him further. "You" Shredder said threatening to the turtles and Splinter, "You have been little more than thorns in my side, but now, you have robbed me of my triumph! And for that, you shall pay with your lives!" Shredder raised his claw to strike, but Splinter blocked it with his staff.
"Shredder, there is no time!" Splinter said, "The building is about to implode, even you cannot survive"
Shredder used his other claw and broke Splinter's staff, "Then we shall all parish together!"
Donnie tried to use his staff to hit the Shredder, but it only broke in half and Shredder kicked him. There was nearly a minute left on the bomb. The Shredder then knocked down Splinter and then Mikey attack and got a few hits in and Raph tried to throw his sais at him, but he only caught them and then kicked Raph and Mikey back. Leo then managed to knock Shredder down, making him drop the sais and Raph picked them up. When Shredder stood back up, standing between Leo and Raph, they charged at him and managed to get a few cuts on his suit, making him spark.
"Guys!" Donnie called out as he ran towards the control panel, "Use your weapons to penetrate his armor, I think we can stop him for good!" Donnie kicked at a loose metal board and caused it to fall. Leo handed Splinter one of his swords and they all began to attack Shredder, stabbing their weapons into his armor.
"You pathetic creatures!" Shredder groaned as he was still standing, "Cannot hurt me!"
"Don't be so sure!" Donnie shouted and connected two wires together. A large spark flew and it struck the Shredder and he fell down. As they walked to stand around his fallen body, Viola had jumped down from the ceiling and rushed to stand with the turtles.
"You guys knocked him out!" Viola said as she tried to catch her breath.
"Where's your sister?" Leo asked.
"She just disappeared, I couldn't find her"
They had then heard a noise coming from the Shredder and they looked down to see smoke seep out from the Shredders stomach and it started to open up and they saw eyes inside.
"The Shredder's" Donnie started and the Utrom prisoner crawled out, "An Utrom!"
"Ahh!" Mikey screamed, "It's the prisoner dude! He's the one who-who-"
"Who escaped after causing Mortu's ship to crash on earth a millennium ago!" the Utrom said.
"You ain't so tough now!" Raph shouted, "Let's just squish him!"
The Utrom growled and jumped to attach himself on Raph's face and he squirmed around to try and get him off.
"What did you say?" the Utrom laughed, "I can't seem to hear you!"
"Get him off!" Mikey shouted as Leo tried to pull him off, "Or there's gonna be a tiny little Shredder alien busting out of Raph's chest!"
"That's not helping!" Viola shouted.
The Utrom snapped at Leo and he let go, then Viola rushed forward and gave a kick at the Utrom, finally knocking him off of Raph's head. The Utrom scurried away and hid somewhere in the room. Donnie rushed back to the control panel and began to try and get a location in for them to escape.
"Guys, quick, I've got the transmat recalibrated" Donnie said.
"Hey!" everyone looked up to see Vanessa standing on a giant beam above them and it looked ready to fall, "No one shall leave this place alive!"
Vanessa sliced her sword through the last line holding the beam up. The beam began to fall and the turtles, Splinter and Viola jumped out of the way in time as the beam fell and the wires from the beam sparked and flew all over the place and it hit those organic pods and it caused a fire to break out.
"Vanessa!" Viola screamed as she ran around the room to try and find her sister.
She had then saw a hand poking out from beneath the beam and she rushed over to pull her sister out from underneath. She held her close and tried to stand up, but she looked around the room and saw the fire and it brought back those horrible memories six years ago and it paralyzed her.
She felt arms wrap around her and picked her and her sister up and she looked to see that it was Raph and he rushed to get to the transmat with his brothers and sensei. The beam of light came down and they jumped into it in time as it came down.
Outside, the building exploded and April and Casey took shelter behind the battle shell as a bright light nearly blinded them. The girls hoped out of the van and looked ahead of them and saw a giant hole where the building once was.
"The guys" Casey said gravely.
"Oh no!" Phoebe cried as she hugged Sara.
They heard something above them and they looked up to see the same blue beam and they watched as Splinter, the turtles and Viola and Vanessa fall out of it. The turtles and Splinter landed on top of the battle shell while Viola and Vanessa landed on the ground.
"Well, I got us out" Donnie said, "But apparently I neglected to get us down"
"Guys, master Splinter!" April exclaimed in relief, "You're alive"
They all cheered as they gave each other hugs, but it died down when they realized that Viola wasn't standing with them and then their attention turned back to Viola. They walked to stand behind Viola as she laid her sister out on the ground, hovering over her.
"Oh my gosh!" Phoebe exclaimed as she got a closer look at Vanessa.
"Is that?" Winter asked.
"My sister" Viola finished, brushed her hand through Vanessa's hair as tears started to drip onto her face.
"What's going on?" Sara questioned, "I-I thought you said she died!"
"The Shredder must have taken her when she tossed me out of the building; something happened to her, she doesn't know who I am"
Vanessa began to stir when she felt something wet touching her face and her eyes fluttered open. Viola was tense when Vanessa turned her cold glare at her and she surprised her by grabbing her arm, spinning around and kicked Viola into the battleshell and then grabbed Viola's fallen sword. When Vanessa stepped away, she staggered a bit and leaned her hand against the wall to steady herself.
"Vanessa!" Viola gasped as she stood up when she saw blood drip from her head.
"Stay back!" Vanessa shouted as she swiped her sword at her, but wasn't intending to hit her, then she pointed her sword at her, "I shall return, and I will destroy you" then she looked back at the others and pointed her sword at them as well, "And those you love"
Vanessa stabbed the sword into the battle shell and then jumped onto it, then bounced between the building walls and onto the rooftop, disappearing. Viola stared where her sister had disappeared, releasing shallow breaths and then ran through the others, disappearing as well.
"What's going on?" Sara questioned.
"We will explain later once we're out of this area" Leo answered as he looked back to see more cars and sirens sound out.
Raph walked over and removed the sword from the van, staring at the flowers and vines engraved into it before hopping into the van with the others, hoping that he'll see Viola in less than a week and hoping that she'll be alright with all that has happened to her.
