Hi everyone. Well, this is it, the final battle of this epic and amazing story (not counting the epilogue after this). Our heroes race as fast as they can back to Earth as the Triceratons have the completed Heart of Darkness and are dead set on destroying Earth (again). Can our heroes make it in time to prevent history from repeating itself? Things are going to be different near the end as while I enjoyed this arc in the cannon series, the ending felt rather phoned in; I feel like they could have done better as they left a few open plot-holes which I intend to solve with this alternative ending in my story and I hope that you thoroughly enjoy it. This has been one amazing ride and I'm grateful for everyone's support. So, without further delay, let us begin.
Earth's Last Stand
The Ulixies exited out of hyperspace as the Milky Way galaxy came into view. Everyone on the bridge; the Mutant Turtles, the Royal Family of Arendelle, and all their friends and family, saw the galaxy and couldn't help but smile.
"Oh, look at it, the Milky Way, in all her ineffable glory!" Donnie observed with a wide grin.
"Finally… after so long…" Anna gave a deep sigh. "We're almost home."
"I know, this has been one crazy journey." Kristoff agreed. "We've been on nearly every type planet, fought all sorts of monsters and maniacs, I almost thought we'd never see Earth again."
"When we get home, I'm gonna eat every carrot stand dry!" Sven stated excitedly as Casey threw an arm around the enormous mutant's shoulder.
"I'm gonna drink so much soda, I don't care if I get sick!" Casey stated.
"Master Splinter… New York City… Pizza… Ice-Cream-Kitty…!" Mikey excitedly began to list as Olaf did the same.
"Arendelle…. Grand Pabbie and the trolls… Marshmallow…!" The little snowman squealed as Chompy Picasso hung on his shoulder. "Just you wait Chompy! You're gonna love Earth!" He held the baby alien turtle in his stick-arms, which gave an excited chirp before it playfully bit the tip off Olaf's carrot nose, which only caused Olaf to giggle even more.
"I'll finally get to see Dad again." April said with an emotional smile. "Feels like it's been a lifetime."
However, celebrations were cut off as Leo, Elsa, Karai, and even Professor Honeycutt knew their mission wasn't done yet.
"Guys, this isn't a celebration." Leo told everyone. "We got one last chance to stop the Triceratons or we're not gonna have a home to go back to."
"Leo's right, they got the whole Black Hole weapon." Karai agreed. "And they're dead-set on destroying the Earth."
"Last time, they were only interested in wiping out the Kraang, everyone else was just collateral damage to them." Elsa said. "But now… now they're going to destroy the Earth because of us. This is personal."
"They are all indeed correct." Professor Honeycutt said. "This is our final chance to capture the Black Hole generator. We cannot travel back in time again. If we fail, Earth is doomed."
"We won't let that happen though." Anna stated as she and everyone else got serious. "We've all pulled out of our fair share of impossible situations before, we'll do it again."
"Professor, have you managed to reach out to any of our allies?" Donnie asked. "The Salamandrians? The Utrom?"
"Or what about all those good Triceratons and Zeno?" Olaf asked.
"I have sent word to all of our friends and allies we've made on this journey." Honeycutt said. "However, I've had no response from any of them." He saw all the distressed looks on their faces. "But that doesn't mean they've given up! They could simply be reading their forces!"
"We should have at least gotten a reply from them." Kristoff uttered.
"It doesn't matter." Raph said. "Allies or not, we'll do whatever it takes to stop the Triceratons, even if it means… sacrificing our lives." Though he was more than willing to do that, he did feel a tad bad because he would have at least liked to see Mona Lisa one last time before the end. He heard a worried chipper from Chompy, who still rode on Olaf's shoulder. Raph took the baby alien and gave him a smile. "Ah don't worry little guy; I'm not going anywhere."
Kristoff punched his fist into his palm. "We're not giving up without a fight! And if we do go down, we're gonna take those horn-heads down with us!"
"Got that right!" Sven agreed fiercely
"We're gonna go mad-crazy on these alien-freaks! Right guys?!" Casey stated with a maniacal grin.
"For Earth!" April shouted.
"For our friends and family!" Anna also shouted.
"Say it brothas!" Donnie exclaimed.
"Let's do this!" Olaf cheered.
"Yeah boy!" Mikey cheered as well.
Meanwhile; the Triceraton mothership, along with all its docked warships came out of hyperspace outside Saturn's orbit. Needless to say, the entire Triceraton Empire had been gathered for this momentous day. The day where they would test out their new weapon of ultimate destruction and set out to claim the entire galaxy as their own dominion.
Emperor Zanmoran stood on the bridge of one of the docked ships, with the Blade of Zarathos strapped to his back. Captain Mozar stood dutifully by his side as an officer approached them both.
"My Emperor, Captain Mozar, we have arrived in the Orion-Cygnus Arm of the Milky Way galaxy, in Earth's solar system." The image of the blue and green planet appeared on the screen of the bridge.
"Excellent." Zanmoran sneered evilly. "Sergeant Zog has located the final Kraang outpost." He turned to his officer. "Prepare a broadcast, I wish to address my empire!"
The officer bowed his head as he pressed the necessary buttons on his console.
The hologram or image of Emperor Zanmoran, along with Mozar standing by his side, appeared in every ship, in every hallway, in every corridor, even in the massive gladiatorial arena where multiple Triceratons have gathered as the tyrant began to make his address.
"My fellow Triceratons, subjects of the Empire, today is an important day in history! After decades of searching, we finally have the completed and operational Heart of Darkness! The same weapon the vile Kraang used to destroy our homeworld all those eons ago! But now, we shall use as we utterly decimate our ancient enemy! Driving them into extinction! But it's not just them, this is also the home planet of the vile Terrans who have thwarted us and stood defiantly at nearly every turn! But no longer… now as we use this weapon to destroy our greatest enemies in one fell swoop… we shall make our claim known to all: the universe is ours! All who dare oppose us, including those traitors who foolishly left our empire, will either surrender before our unparallel power or be destroyed! LONG LIVE THE TRICERATON EMPIRE!"
"LONG LIVE THE TRICERATON EMPIRE! LONG LIVE THE TRICERATON EMPIRE! LONG LIVE THE TRICERATON EMPIRE!"
The chant echoed throughout the entire fleet as the transmission ended and Zanmoran stood proudly.
"Sire, I will assist you in any way I can!" Mozar told his Emperor. "I'll even deploy the Heart of Darkness personally and see to the Kraang and Terran's destruction! And perhaps, I can be admiral once again! With your permission of course."
"Perform admirably Mozar, and you shall sit at my right hand." Zanmoran told him with a straightforward face.
A surprised and excited look fell on Mozar's face as he bowed before his Emperor. "Sire, I am humbled. I vow to do everything in my power to wipe this pitiful rock off the face of existence!" He turned to the Triceratons working at the controls of the ship. "Get us to Earth as quickly as possible! For the glory of the Empire!"
As Zanmoran chuckled however, he felt an aching pain in his chest and grunted as he clutched the area where he felt the pain. He looked to his hands in surprise as some of the scales were starting to turn from orange to white and he could even see his breath coming from his mouth. He felt… cold somehow. He shook his head to get his mind off this, probably a minor condition. Right now, his greatest victory was within his grasp and nothing would stand his way now!
The Ulixies
The ship of the heroes flew as fast as it could to try and get to Earth before the full-might of the Triceraton Empire could reach it first. As it did, the heroes tried to come up with a plan as they saw the holographic blueprints for the Heart of Darkness on the main screen of the bridge.
"So how are we gonna take down the Black Hole generator if it's invulnerable to everything?" Raph asked.
"I can freeze over it, but that wouldn't do any permanent damage." Elsa said.
"There is a way to destroy it." Professor Honeycutt voiced. "But the entire Heart of Darkness must be destroyed, not a single piece of it must remain."
"But how, exactly?" Karai asked. "I don't seem to remember you telling us how we're supposed to do it?" She looked directly at the Fugitoid.
"Professor, I remember you saying the only way to destroy it was to either drop it in a natural black hole or a combination of… evil matter and… fusing something…" Anna couldn't find the right words.
"I think you mean dark matter and fusion, Anna." Donnie pointed out.
"Right, that."
"Great! So, does anyone have any fusion or dark matter in their pockets? Anyone?" Olaf asked.
"Olaf, somehow I doubt it would be that easy." Kristoff pointed out.
April looked at the Fugitoid and got this odd feeling around him. "What's wrong Professor? I can sense you want to tell us something."
Everyone looked at Professor Honeycutt as he walked away from the bridge's central station and had his back facing the group. "My friends… I must… confess something to you. Something I couldn't reveal until you got to know me better as a humanoid… eh… android."
All the heroes looked in confusion as Honeycutt's tone sounded guilty. "Ah, you can tell us anything Professor." Olaf said innocently.
"What are you talking about Fugi-dude?" Casey asked.
Professor Honeycutt turned to face his comrades directly as he made his confession. "You see… it was not the Kraang who invented the Black Hole generator. It was… I who created it."
That hit like a bombshell as everyone had looks of shock and horror.
"WHAT?!" Raph, April, Kristoff, Casey, Donnie, Karai, and Sven all exclaimed as Olaf gasped and placed his stick-hands over his agape mouth.
"It can't be!" Leo shouted.
"No way!" Donnie shook his head in disbelief.
"I don't believe that!" Anna exclaimed.
"Doesn't make sense!" Mikey shouted in utter shock and confusion.
"Professor… You…" Elsa stuttered; her face filled with horror as though she had heard the news of her parents' death all over again. "You created that… horrible weapon…?! I… how… why…?!"
"It was never intended to be used as a weapon." Honeycutt began to explain. "I originally developed the Black Hole generator as an energy source. But when Kraang Sub-Prime offered me a huge price to buy it, I gave in. I was greedy… didn't care what they wanted to use it for. It was all about money, all about financing my research. And then I realized what a terrible decision I had made… I mean seriously, come on, they're the Kraang!"
April and Anna both gasped as they, Elsa, Olaf, Mikey, and Donnie had looks of shock on their faces; while Casey, Raph, Kristoff, Karai, Sven, and even Leo had looks of anger, feeling as though they had been betrayed in the worst possible way.
"Now I get it." Kristoff uttered under his breath. "Now I know why you never told us your plan to destroy the thing in the first place. You couldn't without telling us what you knew about it… and who else knows it better than the same guy who freaking built it?!" He shouted.
"That is messed up, yo!" Casey stated in the same sort of tone.
"Fugitoid how could you…?!" Leo angrily stomped his way close to the Professor. "You… you lied to us! Everything was a lie!" Donnie however stopped him from doing something stupid.
"Whoa, hold up Leo! The Professor saved our lives over and over!" Donnie pointed out.
"That's right!" Anna stated. "Yeah… he made a really… really stupid mistake but… if it weren't for him, we wouldn't even be here!"
"He gave us another chance!" April agreed. "His heart's in the right place!"
"He doesn't have a heart! He's a damn robot!" Raph exclaimed.
"Raph!" Anna scolded.
"No, you know what? Raph's right." Kristoff stated. "This is all Fugitoid's fault!"
"Yeah, if it weren't for the Professor, there wouldn't even be a need to go into space!" Sven agreed.
"But… but the Professor's done all kinds of good stuff to, right?" Olaf tried to put in.
"Yeah, look at all the time's he's helped us bros!" Mikey pointed out.
However, Leo wasn't listening as he faced Honeycutt directly. "Earth wouldn't have been destroyed! This insane space chase wouldn't be happening if you didn't build that thing in the first place!"
"I… I was a different humanoid all those centuries ago!" Honeycutt pleaded. "I've changed! I know what I've done was beyond wrong… But I am trying to make up for my mistakes!"
"Mistakes?!" Karai exclaimed as she joined Leo in facing the Fugitoid. "MISTAKES?!" She practically screamed. "Do you have even the slightest idea what it was like?! To watch everything, you know be destroyed!? To watch your home… your family… to watch everyone you love die!? WELL WE DO! BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED!"
"Stop! Everyone that's enough!" Elsa exclaimed as she stood in front of the Professor. "Look, I know that you're all… horrified by this revelation… I am to! But… is blaming the Professor going to stop the Triceratons? Yes, he made a terrible and horrible mistake, but dwelling in the past won't change what happened! After everything he's done for us… shouldn't we at least give him a chance?" She faced the younger girl in front of her. "Karai, you of all people should know what that's like."
Karai's enraged look softened a bit, but she tried to keep her eyes hardened as she said nothing and stubbornly turned away.
Elsa then turned to the blue-clad Turtle, a desperate look in her eyes, silently asking him if he'd be willing to give Honeycutt a chance. "Leo…?"
However, Elsa's hopes were dashed as Leo walked past her and toward the exit. "I don't want to be a part of Fugitoid's plans anymore! I'll come up with my own plan to take down the Triceratons!"
The Queen of Arendelle wanted to go after Leo and talk to him, but couldn't find the courage to do so, not with the news that almost shattered her. She looked around to the rest of her friends and family and saw they all had mixed expressions of anger, shock, worry, and betrayal. She glanced at Honeycutt and saw the desperation in his optics. She wanted to give him another chance, but something inside her felt she couldn't. All she could do was look away with a sorrowful expression, while Honeycutt just looked down in disappointment, but not in his friends, rather in himself.
The Triceraton fleet was now passing the planet Mars, but Zanmoran was becoming impatient.
"Faster! We must get to the Earth!"
"Sire." Mozar approached his Emperor. "The Terrans approach!"
"They aren't cloaked?" Zanmoran questioned in minor surprise.
"No, it doesn't appear to be." Mozar showed the Triceraton Emperor his device, showing the Ulixies speeding its way toward their location.
Zanmoran smirked. "Someone's desperate. Hold your fire till we pass this red planet, let's give them a bit of hope. However, once they rare in range, obliterate them with every weapon at our disposal! Let us finally be rid of these interfering pests!"
"With pleasure, my Emperor." Mozar bowed with an evil smile.
The Ulixies
The Triceraton fleet was in range as they could all see it from the bridge's window. "Guys, this is a bad idea!" Anna stated. "Like a really, really, bad idea!"
"Anna is correct! A direct assault is futile!" Fugitoid agreed. "Odds are… we'll be the ones assaulted!"
"We got no choice here!" Raph exclaimed.
"Yeah, thanks to you Fugi-jerk!" Casey agreed.
"But… they're ships are huge! And ours is so small! We can't take them on!" Olaf pleaded.
"Olaf's right, we can't just charge head-on!" Donnie agreed.
"Well we don't really have time to sneak in and grab the thing!" Kristoff countered.
"They probably be ready for us considering we did that last time." Karai agreed. "But if any of you got any ideas, I'm all ears!"
"Too late, they spotted us!" Mikey shouted as multiple Raptors were launched a the Ulixies. Before the heroes could retaliate, they were already pelted with multiple laser blasts that rocked the ship.
Elsa was ready to har the next step on what to do, but no one said anything, much to her confusion. "Leo? Where's Leo?!" She looked around to find he wasn't on the bridge.
"I… I don't think he ever came back." Sven replied.
April tried to contact him on the comns at her station. "Leo, come in! Answer your comns!" However, she didn't like what she saw on the readings she got. "Oh no… he's about to do something really stupid."
Leo fully donned his spacesuit as he dropped into the shuttle of the Ulixies just as the smaller ship began to power on.
"Leo… what in the world are you doing!?" Elsa tried to call him.
"Seriously, have you lost your mind?!" Karai also exclaimed.
"Bro, we need you up here!" Mikey tried to call him as well.
"Don't you guys get it?" Leo got in the pilot seat and readied the ship to launch. "Fugitoid's just using us to get his Black Hole machine!"
"You don't know that!" Anna stated. "Come on Leo, this is insane! You can't take on their entire fleet by yourself!"
"Don't do it Leo! Please don't!" Olaf pleaded.
"I know what needs to be done." Leo stubbornly said as the shuttle detached itself from the Ulixies and shot right to the Triceraton mothership.
"Leo, think rationally! You can't bring down their mothership with a scout ship!" Donnie tried to reason with him.
"Please Leo… you can't do this…" Elsa tried to desperately plead with him, only for Leo to cut off all communications and continue his attack.
"Did he just hang up on us?!" Raph exclaimed.
"What the hell's gotten into him?!" Kristoff shouted.
"He's not thinking! That's what!" Karai stated.
Elsa had a worried look on her face, but it turned into a determined expression. "I'm going after him." She was about to leave the ship, but Anna grabbed her by the wrist.
"Elsa, wait! We already have one guy gonna off the rails, we don't need another one!"
"I'm not trying to attack their ship, Anna!" Elsa told her sister and everyone else. "I'm going to find Leo and bring him back here, even if I have to drag him back. I'm not going to let himself get killed out there!"
"Well, can't you just cast an eternal winter on the whole Triceraton mothership like you did Dregg's planet? Solve all our problems like that?" Kristoff asked.
"I don't think they're going to give me time to do that." Elsa stated. "I'm just going to bring Leo back, that's all. You guys, just try not to get shot down." She looked to everyone else. "I know we're all hurting right now, but we can't let our emotions get the best of us! We need a solid plan!" She looked towards her sister who still had a worried look in her eyes. "Trust me Anna, I know what I'm doing."
Anna saw in her elder sister's eyes that she meant it. It wasn't like all the times before where she let fear, anger, or her other emotions get the best of her. She was thinking rationally and knew what she was doing. So with a sigh, Anna let go.
"Just come back safe."
"I will, and I'll bring Leo back with me." Elsa said as she left the bridge.
Leo flew the shuttle into a massive swarm of Raptor fighters and immediately engaged them in a dogfight. He was able to maneuver past any and all enemy blasts and shoot down any Raptor that was in front of him. Despite his single-minded attitude right now, Leo's skills as a pilot were still top-notch.
Meanwhile; Elsa, also fully donned in her spacesuit, shot out of the Ulixies' airlock with her large ice-wings forming on her back, as well as six Ice Dragons on her flank to provide support. She saw the fight Leo was in and flew towards it as fast as she could with her Ice Dragons.
Several Raptors shot towards Elsa and opened fire; but she created a massive ice-shield to defend herself and her creatures as the Ice-Dragons flew around it and unleashed their ice-fire to obliterate the fighters and some even flew down to bite into the pilot seats and disable the fighters as Elsa purposely shattered her massive shield and telekinetically sent out multiple razor sharp ice-fragments out to either destroy or disable any Raptors near her. She and her Ice-Dragons continued their approach to get as close to Leo as possible as he continued his attack.
Leo was closer to the mothership and zoomed over five Raptors that tried to turn around and shoot behind him, but Leo turned the shuttle's guns around to fire and destroy the Raptors.
"Aw yeah! Eat it!" He exclaimed as he resumed his approach.
Elsa and her Ice-Dragons meanwhile were getting closer when a swarm of ten Raptors shot towards them and opened fire. Three immediately flew in front of Elsa to take the hit, though they were destroyed, the remaining three flew forward to avenge their brothers with a combined attack of their ice-fire, resulting in a massive blue-flame engulfing and freezing half the fighters completely, which shattered a second later. They tried to engage the remaining Raptors, only to be blasted to bits by laser fire.
Elsa however wasn't deterred as she created a massive twenty-foot long sword of ice which she threw telekinetically. It spun vertically and cut one Raptor in half. Elsa then waved her arm to send a wave of cyan-colored magic at two of the fighters to freeze them completely. She flew underneath the last two before forming a large bow of ice with two ice-arrows already notched, which she launched as they pierced into the backs of the Raptors, destroying them. She then turned back toward the mothership to fly and catch up to Leo as fast as she could.
Meanwhile, Leo had already made it to one of the docked ships around the mothership, specifically the one that Zanmoran and Mozar were both in. He opened fire and caused some damage to its side, rocking the ship and the Triceratons inside. However, they were quick to retaliate with large lasers built into the ship's sides. They opened fire, and while they missed the shuttle, it was sent spiraling away from the vessel. It would have spiraled out of control if an icy whirlwind hadn't caught it, letting Leo stabilize its flight path. He heard a knock on the side and looked in surprise to see Elsa flying next to him. She had a disapproving look on her face as she pointed to her helmet, telling him to turn back on communications before pointing back, also telling him to return to the Ulixies.
Seeing her out here caused Leo to look in shock; he hadn't asked her to come out here. What if she gotten hurt?! Wait… did she come out here… because he did? Was she here to get him? If she got hurt or worse trying to help him… The thought of that caused the adrenaline Leo was feeling when he charged in to stop, causing him to stop his attack.
However, this left them vulnerable for a squad of Raptors to close in on them from behind. Leo saw them coming on the radar as his eyes widened in fear. He quickly turned communications back on.
"ELSA! BEHIND YOU!"
She turned around just in time to see the Raptors opening fire. She tried to create another ice-shield, but it wasn't made fast enough or big enough as the Raptors laser blasts destroyed the shield and her ice-wings. Though Elsa's suit was still intact, she was sent flying as more laser blasts hit Leo's shuttle, causing it to spiral out of control and away from the Triceraton fleet.
Elsa was able to use her suit's built in jet-boosters as well as her own magic from her hands to stabilize herself. She instinctively looked towards the spiraling shuttle, but her pupils shrank as she saw it explode.
"LEO!"
She quickly reformed her ice-wings and shot herself as fast as she could to the shuttle's rubble. Though when she got there, she saw that Leo was still in one piece. She was quick to grab a hold of him to keep him from flying off as he regained his senses.
"Elsa…?" However, Leo's helmet began to crack.
"Oh no…" Elsa dreaded as she put her hand on Leo's helmet to desperately spread ice and cover the crack, but it kept spreading. "No… no don't you crack! Don't you crack!" But it was too late, the helmet shattered. "No!" Elsa tried to create a new one out of ice that covered Leo's entire head, but he was already losing conscious from the lack of oxygen and she saw on his suit's readings that his oxygen was draining fast. "No! Leo!" She accessed her comns. "GUYS! HELP!"
"We're on our way, Elsa!" Anna tried to tell her as the Ulixies was about to head their way.
"Rock-rockets, coming in fast!" Honeycutt reported as the Triceraton mothership launched three of its heavy-arterially at them. "Full power to shields!" The missiles tracked the Ulixies from behind, they couldn't avoid it. "Brace for impact!" All three hit the ship. Though the shield softened the attack, it was powerful enough to cause damage to its starboard wing and send it spiraling past Elsa and Leo and straight towards Mars.
"NOOOOO!" Elsa screamed before she held onto the unconscious Leo tightly and flew after the Ulixies as fast as she could.
Everyone was in a panic and screaming as the ship spiraled out of control. "COME ON! WORK!" Raph slammed on his controls.
"WE GOTTA SAVE LEO AND ELSA!" Mikey screamed.
"DO SOMETHING FUGITOID!" Sven shouted.
"DON'T YOU THINK I'M TRYING!" Honeycutt exclaimed. "OR DO YOU THINK I ENJOY PLUMMETING STRAIGHT TOWARD THE SURFACE OF MARS!"
"SARCASM LATER! SURVIVE NOW!" Anna screamed out of fear and frustration.
Zanmoran laughed as he saw the Ulixies plummeting toward the red planet. "Yes! We may finally be rid of those annoyances! If not delay them long enough to do our work!"
"Engineers, full-speed ahead!" Mozar commanded the Triceratons on-board. "We have a planet to destroy!"
The Ulixies continued to plummet as Elsa tried desperately to catch up with them. She created a shield around her and Leo, who was strapped to her body by an ice-binding, one made entirely out of her magic as they shot through Mars' atmosphere. Hopefully the shield's ice magic could counter the fire from the atmosphere as Elsa flew as fast as she could. By the time her shield faded, they passed through the worst of it as Elsa threw her arms out to create two massive and outstretched arms of the strongest ice she could muster, which managed to grab onto the Ulixies' wings as she grew her own wings to ten times the size of what they were before they expanded outward to try and halt their descent as Elsa tried to pull the ship up with all the strength she could give, even blasting a powerful blizzard underneath her feet for propulsion upward. But she could barely slow it down.
Back inside; everyone on the bridge saw that they were straightening out. "Whoa, what's happening?!" Donnie exclaimed.
Donnie got his answer as the main screen on the Ulixies focused on Elsa outside doing her best to pull the ship up, despite being pulled down with it.
"Is… is she… trying to pull the ship up…?!" Karai stuttered.
"Whoa…" April's eyes widened as nearly everyone was rendered speechless, even Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf who saw her power at work before were amazed.
"Don't just stand there! We have to help her!" Anna shouted. "Come on, let's pull the ship up!"
"Diverting all power to stabilizers!" Fugitoid stated as he plugged himself directly into the ship's systems. "Overriding protocols and control! Full power to thrusters!"
The engines powered to maximum right before the Ulixies and Elsa were about to hit the planet's surface and shot up into the sky. However, Elsa's own strength had given out as she and the unresponsive Leo fell, her wings stabilized both of them a bit, almost automatically with what little strength Elsa had before they faded away as she and Leo fell and skidded to a halt on Mars' red sand. It was a rough landing, but they were both still in one piece.
The Ulixies was quick to land however as Elsa weakly gazed up at the ship's docking bridge extend and the door opened to reveal all their friends quickly clad in their spacesuits running toward them.
"Elsa!" Anna shouted as she, April, Donnie, and Olaf ran to help her up.
"Leo… not breathing… needs help…" Elsa said in-between her breaths as Karai, Raph, Mikey, and Kristoff pulled the unresponsive Leo up.
"Come on, let's get you guys inside now!" April stated as they quickly hurried back into the Ulixies before the door closed and the Fugitoid piloted it off the planet to get back on their course for Earth as quickly as possible.
Leo was laid on the ground in the cargo-hold as Elsa, who was being supported by Anna as she was still exhausted, Raph, Mikey, Karai, and Olaf looked over him with worried expressions while Donnie scanned him with his staff-scanner. April, Casey, Kristoff, and Sven were told to go the bridge and help Honeycutt get the ship to Earth yesterday.
"Donnie… do something… please!" Elsa pleaded, tears forming in her eyes as she saw Leo's unresponsive form.
"His heart… stand back!" He attached a cord from his scanner to Leo's chest and shot an electrical charge, something of a defibrillator to restart his heart. It worked as Leo gave a painful shout as the electric charge ran through him.
He fell to his knees but was alive, much to everyone's joy. "Leo! You're back!" Olaf shouted as he hugged him.
"I thought you were a goner dude!" Mikey also said.
"Guys I…" Leo rubbed the back of his head, knowing he messed up. Elsa got off Anna and got on her knees to be on equal level with Leo, but she hung her head down so he couldn't see her eyes. "Elsa…"
*SLAP!*
Leo felt his cheek as Elsa had just slapped him across the face and she looked at him with an emotional and angry expression. Everyone else backed away slightly as Elsa spoke.
"What were you thinking!? Leo, you know you can't just charge in head-on against the Triceratons! You're supposed to be the leader! Calm and level-headed, and what you just did was reckless and stupid! We're a team! That means we do this together! Remember?!"
Leo looked down. "I'm sorry I…"
"Have you considered what would have happened if you didn't make it?" Elsa continued as her voice sounded more and more emotional. "What it would have done to us…. To me?" Tears were more than ready to flow down her eyes. "I… I almost lost you before I don't want to go through that again. Leo, I know you're hurting, we all are but… you're always telling me I don't have to bear responsibility alone, maybe you should take your own advice. We're all here for you, I'm here for you! Don't shut us out!" Leo continued to hold his head down as he knew that she was right. However, he was completely caught off-guard as Elsa wrapped her arms around him. "Don't you ever do anything like that again. Promise me."
"I won't…"
"Promise me!" Elsa exclaimed, tears already flowing down her eyes.
Leo returned her embrace as guilt began to fill throughout his body, realizing how much he almost hurt her. "I promise."
Anna, Mikey, Donnie, Olaf, even Karai and Raph gave Leo a group-hug of their own, each one silently expressing how relieved they were that he was still alright. After a brief moment, they all got up.
"Come on, we got a job to do." Leo said, getting serious. "We have to stop Zanmoran."
"The Triceratons have probably made it to Earth as we speak." Donnie assumed
Earth
Just like before; the Triceraton mothership had entered Earth's orbit and deployed a single warship, which obliterated the Kraang Technodrome as well as ending the life of Kraang Prime and destroying the threat of the Kraang once and for all. But they weren't finished yet, a small squad of Raptors towed the completed and operational Heart of Darkness straight for Washington Square. Once the doomsday device was placed in the exact same location as before; several Triceraton soldiers were beamed down to provide a group of Triceraton scientists some cover as they got to work.
However, also just like before, the Utrom named Bishop led the past versions of Leo, Elsa, Raph, Anna, Donnie, Mikey, Karai, Casey, and Kristoff to the park where they tried to use stealth to get close to the Black Hole generator without alerting the enemy soldiers. And also, just like before, Anna tried to quietly run behind a Triceraton soldier and accidentally tripped over his tail, alerting him to their presence.
"Earth creatures!"
As in the past; the small group of heroes tried to defend themselves as best they could, even as Bishop was once again pelted with laser fire and his Utrom exo-skeleton was rendered inoperable.
"No! Bishop!" Past Anna tried to run and help him, only to run into a Triceraton that pointed a blaster at her. But several shuriken hit the blaster, causing it to explode in the Triceraton's face as Past Anna looked towards the entrance of the park to see Master Splinter standing on top of a lamppost.
"We heard you might need some assistance." Master Splinter said as Rockwell and Pigeon Pete floated alongside him.
In a sense of déjà vu, the past versions of April and Sven arrived along with Slash, Leatherhead, Muckman, and Mando Gecko, and even Past Olaf rode on top of Marshmallow as before.
"Hi everyone!" Past Olaf greeted. "I might like warm hugs, but Marshmallow here doesn't."
"Master Splinter!" Past Elsa exclaimed in joy.
"And he brought reinforcements!" Past Leo exclaimed in equal ecstasy.
"Uh guys… you do realize were still in extraordinarily, horrendous, trouble; right?" Past Donnie reminded as he and all their friends and allies quickly regrouped.
"So, what's the plan?" Past Karai asked.
"Kick their Jurassic." Past Mikey proposed.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Past Elsa questioned seriously as her hands surged with a tremendous amount of magic. "ATTACK!"
"COWABUNGA!" Past Mikey yelled as they all charged forward.
Triceraton Ship.
"WHAT?!" Zanmoran shouted as he and Mozar looked in shock at the battle from the bridge of their warship. "How could the Earthlings have gotten to Earth before us?!" He suddenly fell on his hands and knees as he felt his side.
"Sire!" Mozar was right by his side to try and help him.
"I'm alright…" Zanmoran grunted as he noticed more of his scales were starting to turn pale and white and even his hands were starting to feel cold.
An officer quickly approached the Triceraton Emperor and did a quick scan. "My Emperor… I don't know how it's possible but… your core temperature is dropping rapidly! And… it doesn't appear to show any signs of stopping!"
Mozar's eyes narrowed. "That wretched cryokinetic female! She must have done this!"
Zanmoran snarled as a cold breath escaped his mouth while he stood up. "I want answers! Bring me the Earthlings!"
Earth – Washington Square
Just as it happened in the past; the heroes threw everything they had at the Triceratons, but they could barely slow them down. Past Elsa even froze the Heart of Darkness over as she did before.
Rockwell hopped on the ground as he sensed something coming. "Great Scott! More are about to beam down!"
Mozar beamed down right behind Rockwell and dealt with him accordingly. Just as many of their friends ended up being contained as it happened in the past, both Past Mikey and Past Olaf were grabbed by the Triceraton captain.
"Foolish little ones. You are coming with me." Mozar told them before he teleported back to the ship with his captives.
"Mikey!" Past Raph exclaimed.
"Olaf!" Past Anna shouted in horror.
"Michelangelo!" Master Splinter exclaimed as they; Past Karai, Past Elsa, Past Leo, Past Kristoff, and Past Donnie all looked in shock and fear.
The Ulixies
"There's still a chance we can stop the Triceratons, right?" Casey asked as the ship entered Earth's orbit.
"Well… we will arrive on Earth approximately five minutes sooner than the last time I arrived. Bloop!" Honeycutt informed.
"Five minutes?!" Kristoff, Raph, April, Karai, and Sven all shouted at the same time.
"Are you crazy?! That's not enough time!" Leo exclaimed.
"Still no word from our allies!?" Elsa questioned.
"Nothing yet… apologizes." Honeycutt quickly said.
"Have you actually sent out a request though?!" Karai questioned the Fugitoid accusingly. "And while we're on the subject, why didn't you drop those two Fragments we had into a Black Hole when he had the chance!?"
"Karai, stop!" Anna told her. "Yelling and blaming is not going to change anything! We have to…" Suddenly a proximity alarm rang throughout the bridge.
"Um guys… look!" Donnie pointed to the main screen. "I'm tapping into Earth's satellite footage!" He pulled up the footage of the Triceratons working on the Heart of Darkness in Washington Square. "The Triceratons are ready to set off the Black Hole generator again!"
"No time to waste! Let's go!" Elsa stated as the Ulixies shot towards the planet as fast as they could. They also happened to past by the Triceraton mothership where they saw a familiar sight.
"Hey look, it's a Kraang ship!" Olaf pointed to the screen while he sat next to Mikey and Raph, where they saw a Kraang scout ship heading for a Triceraton warship.
"Not just any… that's the one we were using when you and Mikey were captured by Mozar!" Elsa recalled.
Mikey zoomed in on the footage as they saw the stolen scout ship approaching the Triceraton vessel, including when it was hit with the main weapon and obliterated; much to Mikey and Olaf's horror.
"AAAAAHHHH!" They both screamed. "YOU GUYS BLEW UP!"
Raph grabbed both of his youngest brother and the living snowman and smacked them across their faces. "Mikey! Olaf! Calm down! We had a teleporter!"
"Yeah, we made it out of that just fine; remember?" Anna reminded them.
Triceraton Ship
The past versions of Elsa, Leo, Raph, Anna, and Donnie all screamed as they held onto each other right when they were teleported onto the ship. But they stopped screaming once they saw where they were.
"We're alive!" Past Anna exclaimed with joy.
"But how…?" Past Leo wondered.
"You snagged a teleporter?" Past Raph questioned Past Donnie before turning angry. "You mean we could have just beamed here?!"
Past Elsa seemed equally frustrated. "We didn't have to go through all that?! We could have just come straight here!?"
"There was only one charge and I… oh man we're in trouble!" Past Donnie and everyone looked in fright as Zanmoran, Mozar, and several other Triceraton soldiers surrounded them with both Past Mikey and Past Olaf in Mozar's claws.
"Guys! You made it!" Past Olaf said in joy.
"That was awesome!" Past Mikey exclaimed. "Thanks for the sweet rescue! So, who's gonna rescue us next?! April?! Casey?!"
"Um… how about Shredder?" Past Anna winced.
"Wait… WHAT?!" Past Mikey and Past Olaf both screamed at the same time.
"Sire, the little ones did not appear to recognize us." Mozar told his Emperor as he gazed at the young Earthlings.
"Hmmm, tell me Terrans. Do you know who I am?" Zanmoran questioned.
"Uh no… should we?" Past Elsa responded in a confused tone.
"Never seen you before." Past Leo added.
"Nuh-uh." Past Raph shook his head.
"Nope." Past Donnie confirmed.
"Pretty sure we would have someone like you." Past Anna added.
"Interesting…" Zanmoran mused. "Seems I must eliminate all the Turtles and all of their pathetic friends to finally be rid of you!"
The Ulixies
The ship had already entered Earth's atmosphere and was now flying above the city as the Fugitoid addressed the group of heroes.
"Here is my plan." Honeycutt began. "While all of you aid your past selves in stopping the Triceraton soldiers, I will capture the Black Hole generator with my tractor beam."
"That's it?" Elsa asked. "Seems… really simple."
"A bit too simple." Karai narrowed her eyes. "Normally your plans have a lot more moving parts, Fugitoid."
"Seriously, you just drop us off on Earth and fly off with the generator alone? Forget it." Leo stated.
Before Honeycutt could offer a response, April used her crystal to try and peer a bit into his mind. "Eh… I can sense you're hiding something from us Professor. You're… lying to us!"
"What?! He's lying!?" Olaf exclaimed, sounding shocked.
"Okay, spit it out Fugitoid! What's your game?!" Kristoff stated as he drew his hatchets; while Casey, Raph, Leo, Mikey, and Karai did the same for their own weapons, even Sven stood ready for a fight.
"There is no game!" Honeycutt stated. "It is imperative that you all follow my exact plan! Without question!"
"We… can't make that promise Professor." Even Donnie was starting to distrust him.
"Professor… please just… I want to believe you but… you need to tell us the rest of your plan." Anna said, trying to sound reasonable.
"We don't have time for any of that." Elsa stated. "I'm sorry Professor but… we can't trust you alone."
"We're going to Earth alright! And you're coming with us!" Raph stated as even Chompy gave a chipper on his shoulder.
"No, I am not." Honeycutt turned his back to the group. "And if you will not implement my plan… then you are no longer wanted on this ship!"
Before anyone could say anything else, the floor opened directly underneath all the heroes as they all fell and slid down a brief slide before they were completely ejected out of the Ulixies and sent falling into New York below, with them being over one hundred feet above the street.
Most of the group screamed as they fell and Elsa was more than ready to use her powers to help everyone, but before she could, they were all caught in a tractor-beam from the Ulixies before they were gently sat down.
"Is everyone okay?" April asked around.
"Do we look okay to you!?" Kristoff exclaimed, sounding very irritated.
"He just kicked us out of the ship!" Sven exclaimed.
"But… the Professor saved us!" Anna quickly said as they saw the Ulixies fly off.
"No, he just felt guilty." Leo stated, having lost all trust in Professor Honeycutt. "You just wait. He's going to steal the Black Hole weapon before the day is done."
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Right now, we have to stop the Triceratons! Whatever it takes!" Elsa stated as everyone got serious.
"If everything proceeded like it did last time, this is around the moment where Master Splinter and the Foot be attacking the Triceratons and the rest of us would have escaped from Mozar's ship." Donnie said.
"You mean right before…" Olaf's face was filled with fear. "When Shredder… killed Master Splinter…?"
"That won't happen! Not this time!" Karai exclaimed.
"Come on, no time to waste." Leo said to the group. "Washington Square is right around the corner!" With that; the group ran as quickly as they could with the fate of the entire planet at stake.
Meanwhile; the past versions of Leo, Elsa, Raph, Anna, Mikey, Olaf, and Donnie, had escaped the Triceraton warship similarly to how they did before with a teleporter, landing on the street behind a truck with the Foot, Splinter, and what few remained of their allies battling the Triceratons on the other side.
"Wow, that Zanmoran and Mozar guy were really weird, weren't they?" Past Olaf said.
"They talked like they knew us. How is that even possible?" Past Elsa asked.
"No time to worry about that." Past Leo said.
"Come on, we got a world to save!" Past Raph declared just as a laser blast shot through the truck, barely missing them. They looked through the hole to see the forces of the Foot facing off against the Triceratons. Without hesitation, they ran into the fray.
But just as they did; Elsa, Leo, Raph, Anna, Mikey, Donnie, Karai, Olaf, April, Sven, Kristoff, and Casey of the present ran into the park as well; bashing down, blowing away, and moving past several Triceraton soldiers to get to the Black Hole weapon as quickly as possible.
Past Raph and Past Kristoff grappled with a Triceraton soldier but all three looked in confusion as they saw the present counterparts of the heroes run past them.
"Wait… were those….?" Past Kristoff questioned.
"Those guys are… us…?" Past Raph stuttered as he and the Triceraton soldier exchanged confused looks.
Just like before, the timer was only seconds away from going off and activating the Black Hole machine. And Master Splinter ran as fast as he could to try and stop it with the Shredder right behind him, but he didn't have the same intention in mind.
"Master Splinter… No!" Leo called out to warn him, just as Elsa stomped her foot and sent an ice-path spreading to the ground in front of Shredder, causing him to slip on his feet briefly and avoid the bladed-strike that would have stabbed Splinter from behind. The rat-master caught the attack and looked enraged.
"What is this?!" Splinter questioned as he glared at Shredder, who lashed out with his other bladed gauntlet, but Splinter ducked and delivered a kick to knock Shredder back.
"I knew you were a snake… but stopping me from saving the world?!" Splinter questioned with appall.
"It is because of you I lost my daughter!" Shredder stated before attacking Splinter.
Elsa and Leo ran as fast as they could. They knew Master Splinter could handle himself now that he knows Shredder is attacking him, and they can stop the Heart of Darkness. With only two seconds to spare, Leo pulled out his energy-gun to shoot and destroy the timer, stopping the activation. Taking no chances however, Elsa thrusted her hands forward and shot her magic out to not only freeze the entire Black Hole generator, but she even waved her hands to create a long and massive fifty-foot bladed-fence around the frozen weapon to prevent anyone else from getting it.
"The timer's down and it's frozen!" Donnie exclaimed with a smile. "We're gonna win!"
However, it was far too early to celebrate as Emperor Zanmoran, who wielded the Blade of Zarathos, and his scales were even more white than before and had only few bits of orange spots left, along with Mozar both teleported onto the ground and faced the two groups of heroes. One consisting of Leo, Elsa, Raph, Mikey, Anna, Donnie, Olaf, Kristoff, Karai, April, Casey, and Sven of the present; along with the exact same group of people from the past. It didn't take long for the two Triceratons to put two-and-two together.
"So, you time-traveled back to save your world." Mozar deduced. "Which means, we destroyed it the first time around, correct? Now it seems we'll win the second round as well!"
The past group of heroes looked mildly confused at their counterparts before Past Mikey spoke up. "Dudes, I get it! Those guys are us from the future!"
"No dudes, you're us in the past." Mikey corrected.
Zanmoran however laughed, getting everyone's attention. "How very amusing. I never imagined I'd get the chance to kill my greatest adversaries twice."
"Geeze what'd you guys do to make him so mad?" Past Kristoff questioned.
"Don't ask." Kristoff told his counterpart.
"However, before I take the Heart of Darkness and use it to completely annihilate this world…" Zanmoran began. "I am going to personally tear down this city and crush each and every one of you to dust. You'll watch painfully and helplessly as I destroy everything you hold dear! Now… face the full might… OF THE TRICERATON EMPIRE!"
The second Zanmoran raised his blade, it lit with red flames, and right behind him teleported many more Triceratons. Only it wasn't a squad, or even multiple units; it was a whole army! Hundreds upon hundreds of fully armed Triceraton soldiers teleported behind their Emperor and captain. And not just soldiers, an entire fleet of hundreds of Raptor fighters all descend from the sky and lined up above their soldiers. Needless to say, the entire Triceraton army had appeared and they outnumbered the heroes present at least a thousand to one as the enemy army filled up the entire park behind them and even in the streets behind.
All the heroes, past and present, looked in complete and utter shock. "Mama…." Both Olafs gulped.
"Holy chalupa…" Past Anna shrunk back in fear.
Everyone exchanged nervous or even terrified glances, particularly the past and present versions of Leo and Elsa. However, once the present Leo and Elsa's eyes met, their looks became one of determination as Leo held his swords tightly and even Elsa clenched her fists which surged with magic.
"We've come this far… were not giving up." Leo stated.
"We'll face anyone who tries to hurt our home." Elsa said in the same determined tone. "Even if it involves flying straight into hell."
Their brothers, sisters, and friends developed the same expression as they all drew their weapons; even their past selves joined in, willing to help out in any way they can, this was their home to after all. But… right as they started their advance to the enemy army…
"Such strong determination." A voice congratulated the heroes from the communications on their spacesuits, much to their confusion. "Fortunately, you won't be alone."
From behind on the group's left, a triangular interdimensional portal opened up; only instead of it being pink like how the Kraang typically use, it was blue. Everyone turned around in surprise to see three figures walking through it; they were the Utrom council: Queen, Rook, and Pawn, in their respective exo-suits.
"The Kraang…?!" Past Karai exclaimed.
"No, those are Utrom!" Anna said with an excited and relieved grin as most of the heroes looked in surprise, particularly Elsa and Leo.
Queen gave the pair a smile and a nod as multiple large blue Utrom portals opened all around from behind the heroes, both on the ground and in the air, causing Mozar to glare with Zanmoran looking in minor surprise.
From the portal behind Queen, Rook, and Pawn; stepped out an army of at least a hundred Utrom droids, along with several hovering large laser cannons. And from one portal on the right of the Utrom; stepped out the former Triceraton gladiator Zeno, wielding a stone sword in his right arm with a massive mallet in his left; with the leader of the Triceraton defectors Zura right by his side wilding a stone trident. The portal began to move behind them to reveal nearly all the warriors among Triceraton defector tribe.
"More Triceratons?!" Past Raph exclaimed.
"Trust us, these are the good guys." Donnie said with an elated grin as they saw more and more aid coming out of all the dozens portals opening around them. Out of one portal stepped out Mona Lisa and Sal Commander, much to the surprise and elation of one red-clad Turtle.
"Mona…?" Raph looked with a loving grin.
Mona gave a loving look towards Raph as even Sal Commander nodded toward Elsa before they both shouted "Rokka! Rokka!"
"Rokka! Rokka! Rokka! Rokka!" This was heard all over the area as most of the portals exited an entire army of Salamandrians of all shapes and sizes, males and females. Many were about as tall as Mona and Sal, others were ten feet tall, the same height as Triceratons even. They were all sorts of colors; blue, green, red, black, even polka-dotted and stripped, each one was wielding a weapon or two from swords, blades, and laser guns, even the larger ones carried energy-gatling guns on their backs. Even an entire fleet of Triceraton fighters exited out of the portals opened in the sky.
And it didn't just stop with them. Out of one portal exited an army of Daagon soldiers, each one wielding either a blade or a trident, personally led by Queen Hiidrala herself who was on an Utrom hoover device. Even a large group consisting of at least a hundred Aeons hovered out of the portals in the sky, each one had hands glowing with white energy. Out of one portal even came the small army of mutants known as the Punk Frogs, all being led by Attila the Frog, Genghis Frog, Rasputin the Mad Frog, and even General Napoleon Bonafrog. Even Bigfoot herself stepped out of the portal, with the advanced vehicle known as the Hot Rod riding by her side, driven by none-other than the reformed, yet still crazy, hunter known as 'The Finger' with the mutant chicken Dr. Cluckingsworth M.D. in the navigator station of the vehicle.
But the biggest surprise came from one of the last portals was the army of Arendelle! Over a hundred soldiers from the home kingdom of Queen Elsa and Princess Anna stepped out the soldiers, all clad in green, each armed with at least a sword and shield, or a musket. But the most incredible thing that stood alongside them were large cannons, the type that one would put on a ship, each one sitting on a large piece of hovering Utrom technology; and they were manned by none-other-than the Trolls, with Grand Pabbie himself being at the lead.
Nearly every friend and ally the Turtles and Arendelle Royal Family ever made from their home worlds and on their space journey had arrived to give them aid. Even the young timetress Renet Tilly stepped out of her own time-portal with the Time-Scepter in hand.
Even Bishop scurried toward his fellow Utrom council members as a new Utrom droid body was given to him, allowing him to stand up right as he was given an energy bazooka. "Is that everyone?" He asked Queen.
"What? You wanted more?" Queen asked with a playful smile.
Right as she said that however, a familiar roar was heard as Marshmallow himself had reformed his whole body; and he wasn't alone. The massive snow-goliath had used this time to free the Mutanimals and their other allies who were riding on his back. As Marshmallow joined the army; Slash, Leatherhead, Dr. Rockwell, Pigeon Pete, Muckman, and Mando Gecko all jumped down and readied themselves. Even Slash smirked as he brandished his Morning Star.
All the heroes; the Turtles, the Arendelle Royal Family, and their friends, both present and past versions, were beyond excited and relieved to see all their friends had come to help them in their most desperate hour. Elsa would have cried tears for joy, if she didn't think about adding her own additions. With as much magic as she could muster; she stomped onto the ground and shot her arms out. Ice spread along the ground and snow above it as it all formed to take multiple solid shapes. Within seconds; a force consisting of thirty Ice Dragons, fifty smaller Ice Pterodactyls, twenty Ice Triceratopses, ten Ice Stegosauruses, and even five Ice Tyrannosaurs Rexes had all come to life and joined the army which now appeared to outnumber the Triceraton Empire army by at least three-to-one.
Elsa and Leo both turned and glared hard at Zanmoran and Mozar, both looking rather nervous as even Zanmoran instinctively took a step backwards.
The past and present versions of the heroes took the lead as they each drew their respective weapons or readied their powers. Elsa herself grew her Ice-Wings and even created a large ice-sword in her hand as she uttered one word.
"Booyakasha."
With that; everyone in the heroic army of humans, mutants, aliens, and magical beings charged forward. Most of the group ran or hovered in the air close to their friends with Marshmallow and his Ice Dinosaur brothers taking the lead while the Ice Dragons and Ice Pterodactyls took to the sky and joined the flying Salamandrian fighters.
Zanmoran pointed his blade forward as Mozar drew his energy gun. "DESTROY THEM ALL!" The Triceraton Emperor ordered as his army charged as well. The Triceraton soldiers ran forward while the Raptors flew in the air.
Both armies clashed as the war ensued. Elsa flew in the sky as she sent a blizzard down to freeze some of the front-most Triceratons while her past counterpart did the same to blast several more around them. This cleared the way for Marshmallow, and the ground-based Ice-Dinosaurs, as well as Zeno, to plow their way through many of the Triceratons soldiers. Explosions erupted all over the ground as laser fire was exchanged from all sides and even the Salamandrian fighters engaged the Raptors in an aerial war, even as the Ice Dragons provided aid with their ice-fire and Ice Pterodactyls relied on their claws and teeth.
As war erupted all around the park and even into the streets and onto the buildings around the area; the forces of the Foot consisting of Tiger Claw, Rahzar, Fishface, Bebop, Rocksteady, and the Rat King had managed to find some safety on top of a large building as they saw the war progress.
"Well… this is unexpected." Fishface commented.
"Yeah boy. I heard of calling the cavalry, but this is insane dog!" Bebop sated.
"Perhaps retreat would be the wisest course of action." The Rat King recommended. "Once the Turtles and their many allies finish with the Triceratons, they may very well turn their forces on us."
"Yes. Retreat is best option." Rocksteady agreed.
"Well Tiger Claw?" Rahzar asked their second-in-command.
"The rest of you meet up with Stockman at our rendezvous point." Tiger Claw advised. "I shall retrieve Master Shredder." He activated his jetpack and flew into the warzone as the mutants of the Foot began to make their retreat.
Zanmoran used the Blade of Zarathos to launch a wave of fire to incinerate two teen foot Salamandrians and a few Daagon troops before he fell on his knees and saw how most of his scales were almost completely white and he was getting colder by the second. He glared with hateful eyes once he saw the Past Elsa.
Past Elsa threw her arms out to freeze a Triceraton soldier before she saw a wave of blood-red flame incoming. Acting on instinct, she quickly threw up an ice-wall, which shattered upon impact and sent her flying. Before she knew it, Zanmoran loomed above her.
"Get away from her!" Past Leo appeared and slashed at Zanmoran to knock him back; but he wasn't alone, as Leo from the present flew in on his jet-pack to land and kick Zanmoran in the face multiple times just as Elsa flew in on her wings and swung her large ice-sword to knock Zanmoran down onto the ground.
Both versions of Leo and Elsa stood their ground as they saw the tyrannical Triceraton Emperor stand back up.
"Past or present… you insects have been a thorn in my side for too long! Mark my words, before this day is over… I will destroy you!" He spun his blade as it lit in fire again before he shot a wave of the blood-red flames at the four heroes; forcing them to scatter as they charged in and engaged him.
Mozar used his blaster to gun down a charging Ice Stegosaurus before he was pelted in the back by several exploding pucks from both Casey and his past-self who pucked the normal and photon-pucks at him. He growled as he aimed his gun at them, but was rammed down by past Sven, though he stood his ground, Sven from the present came in and tackled Mozar from behind. As the two versions of the mutant reindeer held the Triceraton captain down; both versions of Kristoff appeared as they brought their hatchets down onto him; this caused him to roar in pain as he shot out his arms to knock everyone off him. He immediately picked up his gun and got ready to blast them, only for his blaster to be shot and destroyed by Anna as she twirled her own laser-pistol like a professional gunslinger as she stood alongside her past self, who wielded a sword, and both versions of April.
"No matter." Mozar threw away his weapon. "I only need these." He cracked his knuckles before charging at them horns-first.
Master Splinter ran towards three Triceratons that shot at him, but he was quick to avoid their laser fire as he jumped, while holding his own blade and made multiple rapid slashes which dealt fatal blows to the enemy Triceratons before they fell. However, he could barely block the bladed strike from Shredder as he appeared out of nowhere.
"Saki, we are literally in a warzone and you still insist on fighting me?!" Splinter exclaimed.
"The only thing that matters to me is your death, rat!" Shredder cursed before going on the attack; however before he could press the attack, Past Karai suddenly appeared in front of him and dealt him a kick to his face, sending him backwards to the Karai of the present that dealt a cartwheel kick to his jaw and knocked him down briefly, though he steadied himself on his claws as he saw both versions of Karai stand with Master Splinter.
"Miwa…" Splinter looked towards both versions of his daughter.
"Look, it's a long story, and we'll explain after we beat the crap out this guy!" Karai stated as they faced the Shredder who recovered.
"That's fine with me." Past Karai agreed as Shredder charged at all three of them.
Though the Imperial Triceratons were able to put up a tremendous fight; the heroic army gained more than enough headway. With warriors as large as the Triceraton defectors as well as experienced fighters like the Salamandrians, the enemy army was beginning to quickly get beaten back. Even the areal fight was a losing fight for the Triceratons. Salamandrians were just as expertise at flying as the Triceratons, and seemed evenly matched; however, the aid from the flying Ice Dragons and Ice Pterodactyls with their ice-fire and claws gave the Salamandrian pilots the edge they need.
While smaller based troops like the Punk Frogs and Arendelle soldiers had trouble against the brutish giants as they only had swords, muskets, and elastic tongues. However, Atilla was able to provide proper strategy in order to see to it that the Triceratons in the general area were easily separated and picked-off one-by-one; allowing Genghis and Rasputin to provide aid with their own battle expertise and led the charge of Punk-Frogs and Arendelle soldiers. Even Hiidrala provided aid with many Daagon soldiers as she lashed out her tentacle-arms to shock and electrocute the front-most Triceratons. Even several Aeons flew down and shot blasts of psychic energy from their hands to blow any incoming Triceraton soldiers away.
One group of Triceratons had surrounded a smaller group of Arendelle soldiers and Daagon troops when suddenly the Hot-Rod came in co-piloted by the Finger and Dr. Cluckingsworth; ramming down and knocking multiple Triceratons as Bigfoot rode on the vehicle and jumped off to tackle one Triceraton and pound him into the ground with multiple punches.
Muckman created a storm of garbage from his body to blind and confuse a squad of Triceraton soldiers; leaving them open for Pigeon Pete to drop some rocks on them, as well as a firing squad of Arendelle soldiers, Salamandrians, and Triceraton defectors to open fire with their respective guns and decimate the squad.
Queen and Rook stood on a hovering pad alongside a line of traditional cannons and advanced laser ones facing a large line of charging Triceraton soldiers as they opened fire.
"Ready…. Aim…. FIRE!" Rook ordered as the Trolls arming the traditional cannons opened fire. The cannon balls shot and exploded on the ground, blasting away multiple Triceraton soldiers as the laser-cannons armed by Utrom droids aimed upward and shot into the sky to obliterate incoming fighters.
"Normally, I'd say 'we're lovers not fighters.'" Bulda said before a stack of Trolls put another cannonball into the cannon she was aiming. "But sometimes… Love hurts! So, eat love you horn-headed jerks!" She fired another cannon to blow away two more Triceratons.
Both versions of Mikey came back-to-back as five Triceratons surrounded them, however they didn't even get the chance to attack…
"COWABUNGA!" Mondo Gecko and Napoleon Bonafrog said at the same time as they rode Leatherhead who tackled one Triceraton before the gecko and frog mutants jumped off and landed on a second Triceraton to punch him and bash him with a skateboard. This let Mikey slash and take down one Triceraton with his energy-tonfas while past Mikey bashed another with his nunchucks, though this only annoyed him as he and the remaining Triceraton were about to attack when they suddenly vanished and re-appeared a hundred feet in the air before falling and hitting the ground hard.
"Ooooh, that's gonna leave a mark." Renet winced, having used the Time-Scepter to teleport the two soldiers into the sky.
"Renet!" Both versions of Mikey hugged her.
Renet chuckled. "Good to see you to Mikey, both of you."
"Dudes, two Michelangelos" Napoleon observed. "This is like… totally cool."
"Ah yeah! You gotta show me your secret Mikey dude!" Mondo said with a grin.
"Later Mondo." Mikey said as he, his past-self, Leatherhead, Mondo, Napoleon and Renet gathered together. "Right now, let's bash some more dino-heads!" They charged back into the battle.
Donnie and Past Donnie both twirled their respective staffs as Past Donnie slammed his in the gut of one Triceraton soldier before Donnie jammed the bulb-end of his staff-scanner into the back of the same Triceraton to electrocute and bring it down. Two more Triceratons were about to charge them, but Rockwell hovered above both versions of Donnie as he telekinetically lifted two Triceraton blasters to gun them down.
"Thanks Rockwell." Donnie said as their Mutanimal friend landed in-between them.
"I must say Donatello, that staff is yours is quite fascinating." Rockwell mused.
"Oh pal, have I got some stories to tell you." Donnie was eager to share what he learned on his journey in space.
"Um, maybe we can compare notes later guys." Past Donnie reminded as they were still in the middle of a huge fight before they engaged the nearest enemy Triceratons
Meanwhile; both present and past versions of Raph worked alongside Slash as they slashed, cut, and bashed their way through a group of three Triceratons; but they soon found themselves glaring at four more, however, right as they aimed their blasters at them, Mona Lisa appeared as she slashed past the enemy with her energy sword, slicing and destroying their weapon before opening fire with her arm-blaster to kill one Triceraton, and leaping at the remaining three, knocking them all down with a flying tail-swipe, and slashing her sword at two of them in their throats before slitting the last one with her arm-blade. She stood above her beaten foes as Past Raph and Slash were beyond surprised as Raph just smiled.
"Whoa… who is that?" Past Raph asked in a dazed tone.
"Pretty much the best woman alive." Raph smirked.
"I like her." Slash nodded in approval as he playfully nudged Raph's shoulder.
She jumped off the pile of defeated enemies to smile at the one she loved. "Raphael."
"Mona… thank you so much…"
"I told you we would assist you; and a Salamandrian always keeps their word." Mona smiled.
"I believe ya." He smirked eagerly. "Now let's finish these horn-heads!" He Mona, his past-self, and Slash all leapt back into the battle.
Five Triceratons were knocked back by a tail-swipe from a roaring Ice Tyrannosaurus Rex, however, ten more appeared to surround it and pelted it with multiple lasers blasts. Their combined efforts was enough to bring down the poor beast. However, he was quickly avenged by Marshmallow who roared as he charged with an Ice Triceratops and an Ice Stegosaurs by his side. The two Ice Dinosaurs rammed and trampled four of the Triceratons as Marshmallow swept his arms to knock back two more while stomping on the rest with his enormous feet.
"Yeah! Go Marshmallow!" Olaf cheered as he and his past-self both rode on Marshmallow's head.
"This is so exciting!" Past Olaf exclaimed. "I never thought I'd be riding with myself into battle!"
"The universe is full of wonderous places my handsome friend." Olaf told his past self. They heard a roar as they turned to see the gladiator Zeno having some trouble. "Oh no! We have to help Zeno!"
Zeno swung his stone-sword and mallet in every direction to knock back multiple Triceraton soldiers; but it seemed like a squad was behind him ready to open fire and kill him. However, salvation came as Marshmallow charged into the squad and knock several down with his hand-swipes and stomps. The commotion caused Zeno to turn around and attack the remaining squad. With several stomps, clashes, and weapon swipes; Zeno stood on equal height with Marshmallow among the defeated squad of enemies.
"Thank you, my friends." Zeno nodded.
"You're welcome!" Both versions of Olaf waved to Zeno as Marshmallow gave a nod himself. Both giants then charged into battle together.
Meanwhile Bishop fired his laser bazooka as he stood back-to-back with Sal Commander, who fired with his arm-cannon, and even Zura stood her ground alongside them, swiping down her trident to bring down a Triceraton soldier.
"Hmm, I never once imagined I'd fought alongside an Utrom and a Triceraton." Sal Commander said.
"I guess we can thank our common friends for that." Zura commented.
"Yes, and just as they have chosen to place their trust in us, we will fight to protect their home together!" Bishop stated.
"Agreed." Sal nodded.
"Here-here." Zura smiled as well as the three charged into battle as comrades in arms.
Meanwhile; Splinter continued to parry his blade against Shredder's gauntlets as their battle came under the Washington Square Arch, but past Karai quickly zoomed in with a kick to his face, but he caught her by the foot and slammed her into Splinter, however this left him open for the Karai of the present to fall down and slice at him with her blade before jumping up and driving her sword into his left shoulder; causing him to yell in pain. Though he swiped the claws from his right arm at her to knock her back as he addressed his wound.
Karai was helped up by her father and past self as the injured Shredder dragged his claws along the ground menacingly. "I will rid the world of a vile monster!" He lunged his claws at Splinter who ducked along with both versions of his daughters as his blades hit the stone wall.
However, Splinter caught one arm-thrust and delivered a palm strike to dislocate the entire elbow, rendering both of Shredder's arms useless.
"The only monster here is you Saki!" Splinter stated.
Shredder roared in response as he was about to attack with what he had left; only for both Past and Present Karai to appear, each in their own mutant-serpent forms to lunge at the injured Shredder and coil their lower bodies around him as they each lunged their teeth and serpent-arms at him; biting all over his body and injecting as much venom into him as possible before Past Karai coiled Shredder tighter as Present Karai let go before Past Karai sent Shredder flying into the air like a springboard. Karai then coiled to shoot herself in the air and meet Shredder before transforming back into humanoid form and driving her blade right into Shredder's spine before jumping up and kicking him down and sending him crashing hard onto the ground; shattering what was left of his spine.
Past Karai had turned back to normal just as her present-self landed and they both immediately went to their father just as Tiger Claw arrived.
"Master Shredder!" He approached his downed master, having seen the Kuro Kabuto knocked off his face. Nearly every bone in his body had been broken; his left arm was impaled and bleeding, his right arm was dislocated, and his spine was completely stabbed and shattered.
Tiger Claw picked up the gravely injured Shredder as he saw both versions of Karai supporting Master Splinter. "You have won this time, but don't count the Foot out for long." Tiger Claw vowed as he used his jetpack to carry his master and escape the warzone.
Both Past and Present Elsa thrusted their arms forward to create a massive combined blizzard that shot strait at Zanmoran, who spun the Blade of Zarathos in front of him like a rapid helicopter-blade as the flaming-blades acted as a shield; but he could still feel the intense cold spreading throughout his body and found himself being forced back. This left him open for both versions of Leo to come in from behind and slash at his back with their respective swords, causing him to howl in pain as the force of the blizzard blasted him back, causing him to smash into several trees.
Zanmoran however quickly pulled himself up as he sent a wave of flame in the direction of the heroes forcing them to scatter. Past Leo jumped and slashed at him, forcing him to drop the Blade of Zarathos, but Zanmoran caught Past Leo by the foot and slammed him hard onto the ground before punching him and sending him skidding hard across the ground. Past Elsa tried to help him as she sent a wave of her magic at Zanmoran, who was quick to pull up the Blade of Zarathos and send a wave of blood-red flame to counter it. Past Elsa shielded her eyes from the blast, but this left her open for Zanmoran to grab her by the throat and pin her to the ground as he began to strangle her. However, he quickly lost all feeling in his hands as they became numb, as did most of his body.
Before he could dwell on it further, he felt several painful stings in his back and turned to see the glaring Leo and Elsa of the present facing him, Leo having shot him with his energy-gun and Elsa hit him with several icicles. Zanmoran growled as he turned his attention towards them and went on the attack.
Elsa was the first to run forward as she created a spinning ice-mallet in her hands which she drove up into Zanmoran's jaw like an uppercut. Though the mallet shattered, it did some damage as Leo was the next to attack with several slices from his blades before Leo drove his feet into Zanmoran's chest and knock him down. He got back up and was met with Leo and Elsa fighting together. Elsa sent a punch with a fist-construct made out of ice before Leo slashed at his side, Elsa was next with an ice-mace across Zanmoran's face before Leo drove his laser-katana into Zanmoran's side causing him to yell in pain before Leo jumped back and allowed Elsa to blast Zanmoran with an attack of pure magic to knock him down onto the ground.
Zanmoran tried to pull himself up, but he fell to his knees and he looked in shock to see all his scales, and even his clothes were turning pale white; this caught both Leo and Elsa by surprise, and even the past versions of Leo and Elsa as well.
"What's… what's happening to him…?" Past Leo wondered as Past Elsa's eyes widened.
"It's… it's just like with Anna…"
That caught the present Elsa by surprise as she remembered what she did to him on Magdomar. "I… I froze his heart." Even Leo looked stunned at that.
"You…" Zanmoran uttered as it was so cold, that he could barely move. "You will fix…. Fix this…" He shuddered in pain. "Cure me… cure me… now!" He shouted to Elsa.
Elsa's surprised look became one of defiance as she shook her head. "No."
"What…?" Zanmoran muttered.
"I couldn't even if I wanted to." Elsa told him. "Only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart. And I can't think of a single person in this or any universe that would love a monster like you."
Having lost all sense of sanity; Zanmoran roared as he charged directly at Leo and Elsa, both standing defiantly and glaring at the freezing tyrant. Just as he reached out to them with his claws, his body shifted and turned completely to ice, just as Anna did before. Leo and Elsa then both yelled as they delivered a simultaneous upper cut to shatter Zanmoran's frozen form, ending him once and for all.
"EMPEROR ZANMORAN!" Mozar exclaimed in horror, having witnessed the death of his Emperor, but this was the least of his own worries as both Anna and April ran around Mozar to pelt him with lasers; leaving him open for Past Anna and Past April to slash at his legs with their respective sword and tesen, bringing him down to his knees. Kristoff ran and impaled his hatchet into his back just as Past Kristoff did the same action on Mozar's side, causing him to yell in agony, even as both versions of Sven ran at his back and smashed their antlers into him just as Present Casey threw his photon-pucks into the air, letting Past Casey puck them all into Mozar's face for explosive results and sending him crashing hard onto the ground.
Mozar found a gun pointed to his face and saw the glaring Anna, along with Kristoff, Sven, Casey, and April looking down at him with a glare, along with their past selves.
"Give up Mozar." Anna told him. "Your leader is gone, and most of your army is to. You've lost."
Mozar looked around to see the mighty Triceraton army falling to pieces. The last Raptors had all been destroyed in the sky as what started as hundreds of Triceraton troops had fallen to less than a single hundred, maybe even less than fifty, and they were already on their knees. However, despite this, Mozar refused to accept defeat.
"This is not over!" He exclaimed as he activated his teleporter on his side to teleport him back to the warship.
And it wasn't just him; all the surviving Triceraton soldiers that were either on the ground or still fighting were teleported by their captain back to their ship, much to the surprise of those in the heroic army as all the fighting was brought to a sudden end.
Mozar stumbled and limped as he was now on the bridge of his warship. "Take us back to the mothership!" He ordered the engineers. "Emperor Zanmoran…. I swear that I will avenge you! I will use the mothership's Devastator to obliterate the Earth-city and all our vile enemies gathered below! Then, I will retrieve the Heart of Darkness from it's ashes and wipe out the entire Earth! I will lead the Triceraton Empire in your name as I personally wipe out the home-planets of all those who dared to come here and defy us! Kraang, Salamandrians, Aeons, Daagon, humans and mutants… none shall be safe… from the wrath of Emperor Mozar!"
As all the allies in the army helped up their injured comrades across the battlefield, both Past and Present versions of Karai helped Master Splinter get to the center of the park where he was met with an embrace from the present versions of Leo, Raph, Elsa, Anna, Mikey, Donnie, and Olaf.
"Master Splinter!
"Sensei!"
"Father!"
These were the shouts of those who embraced their loving father with relief, beyond glad that he survived this time. Even Kristoff, Casey, April, and Sven gathered around and smiled at him as Splinter embraced everyone back.
However, everyone's attention was caught by the sudden appearance of the Ulixies as it activated its tractor-beam to pull the Heart of Darkness out of the frozen-prison Elsa made for it before attaching the device to its haul.
"Oh no." Leo uttered in dread. "Fugitoid's got the generator! It's what he wanted all along!" He exclaimed as they saw the Ulixies fly towards the Triceraton mothership still in orbit.
"Wait… why is he heading toward the Triceratons?" Elsa questioned.
Donnie's eyes suddenly widened. "I… I get it now."
"Get what?" Karai questioned.
"He said the only way to destroy the Black Hole generator is a combination of fusion of dark matter." Donnie explained.
"Yeah, we know that already." Kristoff said. "So?"
"So, the ship is fueled by dark matter, and the Fugitoid's robotic body is powered by a fusion core!" Donnie stated.
Everyone's eyes winded as Leo and Elsa looked at each other with shock.
"That's why he wanted us off the ship!" Elsa stated. "He's not stealing it he's… he's…"
"Sacrificing himself." Leo finished with a strong sense of regret filling his body.
"WHAT!?" Anna almost screamed as she accessed her communications. "Professor don't do this! Please! We can find another way!"
"Don't do it Fugitoid!" Mikey also called to him.
"Don't go Professor Honeycutt! Don't sacrifice yourself!" Olaf also called to him.
Professor Honeycutt already had everything set. He had set the dark matter fuel regulator of the Ulixies to overload and exposing his own fusion core. He could hear the desperate cries of the friends and family that he knew, lived, and fought with the past six months but new there was no other alternative.
"It has to be this way my friends." He told them through their communication-links. "If you knew my intent, you would have surely tried to stop me. And for that… I thank you."
The Triceraton Mothership was primed and ready as it aimed its central weapon directly for New York's location.
"Sir, we are ready and awaiting your command."
Mozar narrowed his eyes. "Power up the Devastator! Destroy this city and all our enemies now!"
The central unit at the bottom of the Mothership, as well as those within the docked warships, all opened and powered up, and would fire to unleash the power equivalent of multiple nuclear blasts in less than a second, but it was too late.
Professor Zayton Honeycutt had already set the Ulixies to crash into the exposed central Devastator-unit in the Triceraton mothership just as his own ship was ready to overload, as was his own fusion core.
"Let it be known…" He spoke to his comrades one last time. "That you are my friends… and I love you all."
Mozar saw the incoming Ulixies as his face palled with horror. "Oh no…" The Ulixies made contact with the Triceraton Mothership's Devastator just as it exploded. "NOOO…!"
*BOOM!*
The explosion lit up the night sky like the sun had suddenly appeared. Everyone on the battlefield; human, mutant, alien, and magical being, all covered their eyes to avoid being blinded by the piercing light. When the light finally vanished, it was gone. The Triceraton Mothership, the whole Triceraton Empire in fact, as well as the Heart of Darkness, the Ulixies, and even Professor Honeycutt himself… they were all gone.
Soon everyone on the battlefield all cheered and gave victorious roars. Salamandrians, Triceraton defectors, the surviving Ice monsters, the Mighty Mutanimals, the Punk Frogs, Daagon troops, even the Aeons and Utroms gave victorious calls. All except for those that had known Professor Honeycutt the most. They had won; the dreaded weapon that was known as Heart of Darkness had been destroyed, and the Triceraton Empire had been defeated once and for all; and they were finally home. Yet, to say the victory was bitter-sweet was an understatement.
Anna immediately leapt into Kristoff's arms and buried her crying face into his shoulders as he embraced her back while Sven, in turn, embraced them both. Karai held her head down as her face contorted one of frustration, regret, and grief while Raph put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Donnie and Mikey locked arms as they had sorrowful expressions themselves, even April cried into her palms while Casey gave a comforting pat on her back. Elsa and Leo both looked towards one another before they embraced each other in their arms, and even Olaf embraced them both around their legs. While their Past counterparts only had concerning and confused expressions, not sure of what to make of all this.
"I do not fully understand what transpired here this evening." Master Splinter approached the group of heroes and their paradox doppelgangers. "But I thank my family, but present and future."
Bishop also approached them. "Speaking as someone who has known Zayton the longest, I would know that he would not want you to feel sad for what has occurred. Through his sacrifice, as well as yours, this whole galaxy has been saved. Billions, if not trillions, of lives across space are in your debt. So be proud." Bishop smiled as he bowed his head. "And let me, as a member of the Utrom council, be the first to thank you."
Everyone else on the battlefield approached the heroes as they to bowed in respect. Salamandrians, Utrom, Triceraton defectors, mutants, Arendelle soldiers, Aeons, and Dagon alike. They all showed their gratitude for the heroes. Even Sal Commander, Mona Lisa, Queen, Rook, Pawn, Hiidrala, Zeno, and even Zura, who had picked up the Blade of Zarathos, bowed their heads.
Elsa and Leo both stepped up and spoke to everyone gathered. "Thank you… all of you…" Elsa said emotionally as tears of joy were already forming down her eyes. Leo put a hand on her shoulder as he continued for her.
"You saved our home… thank you from the bottom of our hearts." Leo said, feeling just as emotional as Elsa.
"You have helped to save each of our homes in the past." Zura replied.
"Indeed, we owed you a debt of eternal gratitude." Hiidrala agreed.
"One that we will not hesitate to repay in the future." Sal Commander added. "Whenever you need us."
Now that everything had all settled, the awkwardness of the heroes meeting their past counterparts had fully set in.
"So, uh… what are we gonna do about this?" Past Casey pointed to his present self. "The Earth isn't big enough for two Casey Jones'."
"Hey, back off punk!" Casey pushed his past self-down.
"I love it!" Olaf exclaimed as he faced his own past self. "Hi Past Olaf, do you like warm hugs to?"
"Hi Future Olaf." Past Olaf greeted back. "Yes, I do like warm hugs!" Both Olafs hugged each other without a second thought.
"Yeah… I always kinda wanted a twin sister." April said as she sat next to her past self.
"Wow me to. This is actually kinda cool." Past April said.
"So… how do we… you know handle Arendelle?" Anna asked as she and Elsa faced their past selves.
"Maybe we could rule for one week while you guys go on vacation and switch it up?" Past Anna suggested with a shrug.
"Yeah… this is awkward." Past Elsa voiced.
"Agreed." Elsa nodded.
"Hang on, I'll take care of this." Renet walked toward all of them as she made some adjustment on the Time Scepter. "Let's see… adjust the paradox setting… rewriting… Okay, everyone hang on tight." She flashed the Time Scepter forward as it began to glow; as did both versions of Leo, Elsa, Anna, Mikey, Donnie, Raph, Kristoff, Olaf, Sven, April, and Casey. Suddenly both versions of each were pulled together into one singular light before the flash vanished and there was only one single version of each of the heroes all present.
"Wow… that was freaky dudes…" Mikey said as he looked at his hands. "I'm not seeing double!"
"What did you just do?" Kristoff asked Renet.
"When you deal with time-travel, one unfortunate set-back is you can create a paradox duplicate." Renet explained. "A time-clone basically. But the Time Scepter can take both versions and merge them into one; all their experiences and memories from both versions remain intact as they become one being."
"Wow… that's very clever." Donnie commented.
"Aw… I kinda liked having a twin." Olaf seemed a bit disappointed.
"Look at the bright side, you got a whole bunch more brothers now." Sven pointed back as Olaf saw Marshmallow standing with the surviving ice-creatures consisting of two Ice Dragons, one Ice Stegosaurus, three Ice Pterodactyls, one Ice Triceratops, and one Ice Tyrannosaurus.
This caused Olaf to smile. "Hi new brothers!" The little snowman greeted.
Anna then turned to the allied army as she addressed them and their leaders. "Hey, maybe in a few days, you guys should come to our home of Arendelle! We'll throw a massive party and celebrate together!" She turned to Bishop. "You can do that, right?"
Bishop smiled. "Of course."
"We will be honored to join you in celebration." Mona Lisa bowed with the rest of the leaders as the Utrom began to open multiple dimensional portals to send all the members of their alliance back to their respective home planets; including the Trolls, Marshmallow and his new 'brothers' and the Arendelle army, leaving the Royal Family and their friends behind as they will return to Arendelle themselves soon.
Slash approached Raph and Karai. "Gotta say, I'd seen a lot of weird days. But this has gotta be the absolute weirdest."
"You have no idea." Karai replied with a smile.
"Man, have I got some stories for you pal." Raph told his friend.
"I would like to hear some stories as well." Master Splinter said to Leo and Elsa.
"Maybe tomorrow or during the party later, sensei." Elsa said as she gave a huge yawn.
"Yeah tonight, I think we all need some sleep." Leo gave an exhausted sigh himself.
And with that, the heroes' journey in space concluded as Leonardo, Queen Elsa, Raphael, Princess Anna, Michelangelo, Donatello, Olaf, Kristoff, Sven, April O'Neil, Karai, Casey Jones, joined Master Splinter, Slash, Leatherhead, Pigeon Pete, Dr. Rockwell, Muckman, and Mondo Gecko as they left Washington Square to go home for a well-earned rest. As they walked out, Leo and Elsa exchanged a warm smile as they held each other's hands.
Meanwhile; in Earth's orbit, somewhere admits the debris of the Ulixies, Triceraton fleet, and Black Hole generator, the Fugitoid's severed head appeared to have remained in-tact and yet, unresponsive. However, a tractor beam shined on it as the robotic head was pulled into a ship, which was revealed to be yet another Ulixies.
The severed head was pulled onto the bridge of the ship as it fell into the robotic hands of the paradox double of Professor Zayton Honeycutt, just as the Fugtioid's optics lit up and their eyes made contact.
Done.
Wow, this chapter turned out to be MUCH longer than what I thought it would be; but anyway, so much has happened.
The Turtles, the Arendelle Royal Family, and their friends have FINALLY made it back to Earth and defeated the Triceraton Empire once and for all, but not without aid from not only their past selves, but virtually EVERY ally they've ever made! Yeah, this was the kind of finale I had hoped to see in the cannon series, but failed to deliver, so I decided to deliver it myself. I truly hope you all enjoy it.
And instead of the past-counterparts of the heroes going to live in space, I had Renet merge the paradox doubles together. It seemed to make more sense.
So, in terms of the bad guys; Zanmoran is dead, he was frozen and shattered; while Mozar blew up with the rest of the Triceraton mothership. And thanks to a team-up from Splinter and Karai (past and present), Shredder was completely demolished! His arms are now permanently damaged, and his spine is severed and shattered, rendering he rest of his body completely useless. So yeah, he's about done (for the time-being).
Once again, I would like to thank EVERYONE for your support and patience with this story. But it's not done yet. I have an epilogue I plan to upload soon as well; an epilogue that'll give this story proper closure, especially as we see Leo and Elsa finally talking about their feelings for each other. I promise it's going to be a fun, lighthearted, and heart-felt conclusion that you will all love! See you soon with the finale of Frozen Turtles in Space!
