As the Triceraton leveled his laser to take aim down at Mikey and Talia, the orange masked turtle hugged the orange mage kunoichi with his eyes closed.
"Talia, if this is our doom, I just wanted to say..." Mikey said quietly.
"Say what, Mikey?" Talia asked, looking at Mikey with soft eyes.
"Since the day we first met, I've already..." Mikey said.
Suddenly, just as the Triceraton was about to pull the trigger, three shuriken hit his laser cannon that destroyed it. Then, five small white energy balls hit the Triceraton soldier on impact.
"Mikey, look!" Talia exclaimed.
Mikey opened his eyes and saw both Master Splinter and Sage! They were standing right there in Washington Square Park, along with April, Leatherhead, Mala, Pigeon Pete, Amber, June Song, Silver Goldman, Slash, Samara, Doc Rockwell, Doc Whitman, Mondo Gecko, Verona, Muckman, Elastika, and Neko! All the Mutanimals and the Amazons had come to help!
"We heard you might need some assistance." Splinter said calmly.
"We're here to help." Sage said with a gentle smile.
Leo, Kirana, Donnie, Ariana, Vee, Ezra, Macey, Norbit, Casey, Leia, Kale, Raph, and Camilla picked themselves up off the ground as they were thrilled to see their senseis and their friends.
"Splinter!" Leo exclaimed.
"Mother!" Kirana exclaimed.
"And reinforcements, yes!" Raph shouted.
"Whoo-hoo!" Camilla cheered.
Suddenly, more Triceraton soldiers were beaming down into the park armed with energy cannons. They started marching right towards the Turtles, the K-5, and their allies.
"Guys, um, you do realize we're still in extraordinarily horrendous trouble, right?" Donnie asked nervously.
"You think?" Ariana replied.
"So what do we do?" April asked as she stared at the advancing aliens.
"We kick their Jurassic!" Mikey answered. "Cowabunga!"
With that, the heroes leaped towards the Triceratons for battle.
As the Triceratons saw the defenders of planet Earth running straight towards them, they opened fire at them with their weapons. Mikey quickly hurled himself at the nearest Triceraton and whipped his nunchucks at him to deliver a couple of hits, but the bulky triceratop alien swatted Mikey away that knocked him to the ground. Talia immediately took action and curled herself into a ball with her whips covering her in sharp orange energy spikes to roll down at the Triceraton in rapid speed before she can help Mikey up off the ground. Raph and Donnie were busy dodging the Triceratons' energy blasts. Camilla unleashed flurry of low and high red energy punches at the incoming Triceratons. Ariana delivered powerful purple energy slashes at the Triceratons in a quick speed. They saw even more Triceratons teleporting into Washington Square.
"They just keep beaming down!" Donnie cried. "We'll never get past them all!"
"Not even our weapons can hold them off!" Ariana shouted.
"We've got one thing they don't have!" Raph said as he whipped a handful of shuriken at one of the Triceraton cannons to disable it. "Master Splinter!"
"And Sage!" Camilla added as she shot her gauntlets off her hands like two powerful rockets and hit the Triceraton soldiers.
As if on cue, Splinter and Sage leaped in and kicked another Triceraton, making the bulky triceratop alien stagger back.
"Stay strong, Michelangelo." Splinter said as he landed close to Mikey and Talia along with Sage helping them.
"Second wave, attack!" Sage called to the others.
The Mutanimals and the Amazons didn't need any more urging as they were eager to fight these enemies. Pigeon Pete and Amber took action, but they got zapped immediately and landed on the ground. Slash and Samara bolted to their downed teammates while Leatherhead and Mala covered their leaders.
Casey, on the other hand, sprang forward and batted explosive pucks right at the head of a Triceraton. The pucks detonated, but the Triceraton stood his ground with a glare. Casey screamed wildly and whipped his hockey stick around to whack the Triceraton over and over until the Triceraton bashed him aside.
"Casey!" April screamed.
As the Triceraton loomed over Casey, April frantically looked around for a weapon. She spotted a laser cannon on the ground and used it to fire an energy blast right at the Triceraton, who was sent back flying back. Casey went over to help April to her feet.
Mondo sped by on his skateboard with the rollerblading Verona as they ran right into two of the Triceratons with their fists, but they easily got sent back to the ground. The Triceratons turned around and saw the frozen Mondo and Verona. Muckman saw two Triceratons going against Mondo and Verona. Using all his strength, he picked up an overturned car and threw it at the Triceratons that knocked them away Mondo and Verona. Elastika came in and quickly dropped to the floor to create strong drills of hair arise from the ground to attack the Triceratons. Neko flew forward to Mondo and Verona's rescue.
The Turtles, the K-5, Splinter, and Sage battled bravely despite being vastly outnumbered by the Triceratons because more kept beaming down to join the fight. Splinter and Sage saw that the Triceraton scientists were close to completing their task of programming the Heart of Darkness as they were almost ready to deploy the awful weapon.
"They're almost finished setting up the weapon!" Sage gasped shockingly to Splinter.
"We must stop the black hole generator from being triggered!" Splinter called to the others.
"Slash! Leatherhead!" Leo called to the most powerful mutant fighters as he was busy deflecting laser blasts with his two katana swords. "Take that machine down now!"
"Samara! Mala! Help them out!" Kirana called as she stabbed her tessen into the ground and unleashed a large blue eruption shockwave at the Triceratons.
Leatherhead and Mala hurled themselves at the Triceratons guarding the black hole generator. As they fought, Slash and Samara made their way towards the Heart of Darkness. Slash bashed the weapon with his spiked weapon, leaving Samara knocking one Triceraton out of her way. But two more Triceratons were headed towards Slash and Samara. Rockwell and Whitman saw that their comrades were about to be attacked. Rockwell picked up two cars with his telekinesis and slammed them into one of the Triceratons while the other just kept on going until he used his mutant mind to lift him up and launch her over the building.
"Ha!" Rockwell laughed. "Think you can withstand my vast telekinetic power?"
At that moment, a Triceraton landed right behind Rockwell, who spun around and got his helmet yanked off his head before he can focus his thoughts. Without his helmet, Rockwell couldn't control his telekinetic powers. The Triceraton stomped on the helmet and smashed it to bits.
"You vile, extinct monster!" Whitman cried.
Whitman was so angry she stated hissing like a reptile. In her rage, she launched herself at the Triceraton with her camouflage power, but the triceratop alien knocked her to the ground and tossed a glowing pink pyramid at the two mutants. Rockwell and Whitman stared at the pyramid as it projected a force field bubble that captured and lifted them off the ground. With Leatherhead and Mala are keeping the other Triceraton guards busy, Slash and Samara had fought their way to the black hole generator. No matter how many times Slash slammed his spiked mace and how many times Samara slashed her electrified claws, the metal device has no effect at all. A Triceraton tried to stop Slash and Samara, but they knocked the alien away with their combination attack. From the ground, the Triceraton tossed a glowing pink pyramid toward Slash and Samara. Slash raised his mace to smash it, but the pyramid projected a force field bubble that trapped him and Samara. Leatherhead and Mala saw that their leaders were captured inside the floating bubble. They ran over to the black hole generator and tried to smash it with their tails.
Unfortunately, Captain Mozar beamed down in the middle of battle. He held a plasma cannon in one hand and a force field pyramid in the other. Mozar hurled the pyramid at the mutants, trapping them in a bubble before they could attack the Heart of Darkness. Both Leatherhead slashed his powerful tail and Mala released her deadly flaming blast at the walls of the bubble, but the force field withstood their blows.
"This battle is over! You have all lost!" Captain Mozar growled.
Then, Mikey saw their friends trapped in the force field.
"Leatherhead! Mala!" Mikey yelled.
Without thinking, Mikey ran up to the Triceraton as he flipped off his back and launched themselves at Captain Mozar with his nunchucks. But the Triceraton leader grabbed Mikey and lifted him into the air as the mutant turtle was kicking and struggling at the same time.
"Mikey!" Talia and Raph yelled.
"No!" Vee cried.
Talia ran up to the Triceraton leader with a whip in her hand. Before she can attack him, one Triceraton soldier came running to her and slammed his fist into Talia's face hard enough to send the orange mage kunoichi flying into a nearby tree.
"Talia!" Mikey and Camilla cried.
"Sis!" Ezra screamed.
Talia slowly lifted her head to see Mikey still struggling to break free from Mozar's grasp and her eyes caught the Triceraton solider that hit her marching closer to her direction. Her eyes began glowing bright orange as she glared at the Triceraton leader furiously. She then suddenly felt herself incapacitated by a strange power, causing her to clutch her head with her hands. She can feel her mind slowly becoming frenzied from within. Many thick orange lines have surfaced all over her body and on her eyes. Her face was twisted into a fierce look of undiluted fury and two retractable orange energized claws in each arm.
"You shouldn't have done that!" Talia hollered as she slowly got up from the ground. She hunched over and swaying from side to side, unaware of her family and friends staring at her sudden transformation. "Put him down!"
Talia began rushing forward to the Triceraton soldier and delivered a rapid series of quick slashes from multiple directions with her energized claws before kicking the triceratop alien that knocked him into the trees. She turned around to face Mozar and went running towards him, but Captain Erin had teleported herself in front of the orange mage kunoichi.
"Please stop it." Erin said calmly. "I've sensed something unusual about your powers. You can't let it control your state of mind."
"Stay out of my way!" Talia screamed angrily.
Before Talia raised her arms up to prepare for a slash attack, Erin touched her index finger at Talia's forehead and pale blue light began illuminating on her finger. Talia widened her eyes and exhaled rapidly, trying to catch her breath. After Erin removed her finger from the orange mage kunoichi, Talia started to faint and her vision began blacking out as if the light had knocked her out. Erin quickly caught Talia's body with one hand just in time before the orange mage kunoichi was about to fall hard into the ground.
"Don't be alarmed. I've only used my power to make this child unconscious." Erin spoke through the minds of Talia's family and friends. "I'll be taking her to my airship for a healing treatment."
Erin carried Talia up to the pale blue portal behind her and Talia's eyelids slowly opened as she continued to look at Mikey, who was screaming for her name. But Talia shut her eyes and Erin walked through the portal as it disappeared from the fight.
Casey skated frantically towards Captain Mozar while swinging his hockey stick. But before Casey could reach him, Captain Mozar pressed a button to activate the transporter. He and Mikey disappeared, beaming up over the stone arch into the Triceraton mother ship. As they went, Mikey let out one last scream.
"Michelangelo!" Splinter cried.
But there was no time to think about where Mikey and Talia have gone. Because at the same time Captain Mozar and Captain Erin left the scene, many more Triceraton soldiers teleported and arrived in the park with their laser weapons aimed and started firing immediately.
Knowing that they are clearly outnumbered, Casey turned and tried to skate away as fast as he could. But a Triceraton lobbed a force field pyramid right at his feet, capturing the human vigilante in a floating bubble.
"Casey!" April cried as she ran towards the bubble to free her friend.
"No, April!" Casey shouted from inside the bubble. "Run! Run!"
"We're not leaving without you!" Macey shouted.
But April kept running. Then, Raph and Camilla tackled her as they pushed out of the line of laser fire. Norbit picked up Macey to move her away from a laser.
"April, you can't!" Raph yelled. "It's too dangerous!"
"Raph's right! There's just too many!" Camilla agreed.
"Casey, hold on!" Macey said.
"Macey, we have to go." Norbit said.
Macey knew Norbit was right and she stopped struggling. April knew that Raph and Camilla were right. As she ran and dodged plasma blasts with them, she looked at Casey over her shoulder.
"I'll come back for you!" April called to Casey.
The firestorm of the laser blasts was growing more and more intense. Leo and Kirana tried to deflect as many of the blasts as they possibly could with their weapons, but it was becoming far too difficult.
Lucky for them, several portals appeared in the park and the Cristallum soldiers ran out as they started firing pale blue energy blasts at every Triceratons in their sights.
"Let's move, Kirana!" Leo shouted to Kirana.
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Kirana shouted back.
"We gotta go, Sensei!" Leo shouted to Splinter.
Splinter agreed and gestured with his own sword, pointing away from the Triceratons.
"Retreat!" Splinter commanded. "Everyone retreat!"
Splinter, Saldana, Leo, Kirana, Raph, Camilla, Donnie, Ariana, Vee, Ezra, and April all ran away as they headed away from the Triceratons soldiers as fast as their feet could carry them, leaving the Cristallums against the Triceratons. But as Donnie ran with the others, he spotted something intriguing on a fallen Triceraton. Ariana stopped running and turned around to look at Donnie.
"Donnie?" Ariana shouted frantically. "Where are you doing?"
"Don't worry, I have a feeling this little baby might come in handy." Donnie said to himself.
Suddenly, a laser blast reminded Donnie to keep running.
"Donnie, come on!" Ariana yelled.
Donnie managed to snatch the object from the unconscious triceratop alien soldier before he went off with Ariana.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Captain Erin walked out of the portal inside the gigantic Cristallum airship hovering over the Earth. She stood on the bridge and closed the portal with Talia held above her trapped in a pale blue force field.
Erin strode across the bridge as the Cristallum officers stood raised their hands in a salute. The last officer in the line was Erin's second-in-command Commander Aurore, who was looking at the unconscious mage with a surprised face.
"Why did you capture a human, Captain Erin?" Aurore asked.
"She's no human. She's a mage." Erin replied as she held the force field with Talia inside in front of her for all her comrades to see. "A rare species to the planet."
Then, Talia slowly woke up from her sleep and turned around to face Captain Erin.
"Where am I?!" Talia screamed wildly. "Let me out!"
"You're in my airship." Erin replied. "You need to calm down and focus on your goal on saving your planet."
"I was trying to save my friend and you ruined my chance!" Talia barked. "I'll grind all of you to dust!"
Talia formed her hand into a fist with pulsing orange energy and brutally slammed her fist against the inside of the force field, sending her to land onto the floor. She jumped up to attack Erin while yelling with rage. But before she could even reach the Cristallum, Commander Aurore snagged her out of the air and held her fast with a pale blue energized whip.
"Lemme go!" Talia hollered as she struggled to break free. "Release me!"
"Shall I take her to the lab, Captain?" Aurore asked Erin.
"No." Erin replied calmly. "Take this mage to the Emundabit Chamber."
Commander Aurore on the bridge nodded their heads. One of the Cristallum officers pushed a series of buttons on the control panel in front of her. A section of the wall opened slowly and a giant tank of swirly dark blue substance emerged into the chamber.
"Let's begin the process." Erin ordered her officers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a roof several stories above a New York City streets, Splinter and Sage stood by a water tank. Leo, Kirana, Raph, Camilla, Donnie, Ariana, Vee, Ezra, Macey, Norbit, and April were with them as they hid from the Triceratons into the shadows.
"We gotta go back for them, Sensei!" Leo said urgently. "We can't leave them there!"
"We know, Leo! But we don't have a choice!" Kirana said.
Two Triceraton raptors screamed from above and the heroes ducked out of sight.
"And what about Mikey and Talia?" Raph demanded. "What are they gonna do to them up there in that freaky ship? Probe them?"
"I still can't believe how destructive Talia was acting when that Triceraton hit her." Camilla said with worry. "And that new power she has gained helped her defeat one dino alien."
"I, too, am concerned about Michelangelo, Talia, and the others. But first we must destroy the black hole generator. That is the priority." Splinter said with a grim face. "If we cannot stop this weapon, the entire world is doomed!"
"Sensei, I think it's gonna take some time for the Triceratons to fix all the damage Slash and Samara caused." Donnie said.
"Not to mention, the Cristallums are giving us some time to hold off the Triceratons." Ariana pointed out.
"We gotta go after Mikey!" Vee insisted. "Even if we stop the black hole generator, we still have to get him back!"
"And we'll go after Talia!" Ezra said firmly. "We also have to save her whether she's out of control or not."
Splinter and Sage leaped down from the water tower platform as they landed among the heroes.
"Go then." Splinter said. "Save your siblings. April, Macey, Norbit, Sage, and I will help the Cristallums stop the Triceratons and rescue our friends."
"You, Sage, Macey, Norbit, and I?" April asked surprisingly. She couldn't believe what Splinter was saying. "By ourselves? You're, um, kidding right, Sensei?"
"He's not." Macey whispered to April.
"We will ally ourselves with someone even more powerful than the mighty Mutanimals and the Amazons." Splinter said.
"Who, Sensei?" Leo asked.
Splinter closed his eyes as though it was painful to state the answer out loud.
"The Shredder and Lady Shade." Splinter replied.
April and Ariana gasped, but Sage remain calm with a grim face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back on the Cristallum airship, Talia was hanging from a metal three-fingered claw above a tank of the substance. She was struggling against the claw, though the claw severely limited her aggressive movement.
"Let. Me. OUT!" Talia screamed angrily.
"There is no need to struggle." Commander Aurore said calmly. "This substance will snap out of your frenzied state."
"And in the process, you're be in complete control of your new ability." Erin added. She turned one of the officers seated at a nearby control panel. "Drop her in!"
One of the Cristallum officer pressed a button and the claw released Talia from its grasp. Talia screamed as she started falling down towards the giant tank of substance. As soon as she plunged into the dark blue swirly substance, Talia was feeling the liquid pulsing through her body. The orange mage then swam up to the opening air and began coughing the substance out from her mouth.
"Bring her out!" Erin ordered.
The Cristallum officer hit a button and the claw went down to grab Talia, releasing her from the substance and placed her to the ground. Talia sat up as her vision was slightly blurry and she blinked around a few times until her eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Whoa! Where am I?" Talia asked. "And how did I get here?"
"Long story, but the substance cleanse your frenzied mind so you can control your new powers." Erin explained. "The whole reason we came to your planet because of the Kraang. We can't let them take your planet as a hiding place from their vile Dimension X. So we will terminate all of the Kraang hiding here, but we don't want to destroy the Earth."
"Well, I'm thankful that you help me so I can help you all against the Kraang." Talia said as she jumped up from the ground and stood in front of the Cristallum leader. "I know all the secret Kraang bases that led to Dimension X."
"Really? Tell me more." Erin said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back on the surface of Earth, Sage and Norbit ran from hiding spot to hiding spot as they made their way towards the entrance of Shade's lair while moving silently through the night. She still couldn't believe she's going to try to form an alliance with Shade because of their dreadful past together, but she knew what to do. Even through walking right Shade's lair and asking for help fighting the Triceratons with the Cristallum wouldn't convince the Shadow Clan leader that easily.
Just as Sage was about to use her magic, the door creaked open a few inches. She was looking wary, but she slipped through the open door with Norbit.
Inside the lair, Sage looked around in the throne room and saw no one until she heard footsteps from her ears. Her hands were engulfing with blazing white energy and her eyes darted back and forth to spot the source of the footsteps inside the gloomy hall.
Suddenly, Jinx grabbed Sage's arm from the shadows with her other hand glowing with pink lightning-like energy.
"I'm surprised that you were dull enough to walk into the opening door." Jinx crowed with a smile. "I'll be happy to state your welcome."
"We are not here to fight." Norbit said.
Sage narrowed her eyes and knocked Jinx with a white energized punch, making the luck mage mutant to the ground with a thud.
Tigress leaped down from the shadows and faced off against Sage.
"Bad move, sorceress!" Tigress said with a grin. She crouched down to the floor and her left eye glowed burnt orange. "Forget the alien invasion. I've found something fun."
Tigress swung her leg to fire a large burnt orange energy bolt horizontally at Sage, who dove out of the way. Sage sprang to her feet and backed right into Crystalia.
"Looks like I showed up to the party just in time!" Crystalia grinned evilly.
Crystalia grabbed Norbit with her arms and he was struggling to be released. As Sage quickly held her arms out and released several white glowing energy spheres hovering right above her. Sage snapped her fingers and the spheres automatically fired down onto Tigress, Jinx, and Crystalia one by one. Norbit was released and he went to Sage's side.
"Enough!" A dark feminine voice called.
Lady Shade stepped into the throne room and looked up at Sage with a glare from her mask. Sage levitated herself down to the floor between the mage mutants and the Shadow Clan leader with a calm look on her face. Norbit followed behind her.
"If you're here to end your pathetic existence, then you've come to the right place." Lady Shade said.
"Our miserable feud has already become meaningless in the face of their invasion, Rozu." Sage said. "The world will soon be destroyed if you sit here and watch."
Lady Shade looked up to see the Triceraton ships through the window high in the throne room, but she easily ignored them and held her black energized claws to Sage's face.
"Like I seriously care about the invasion." Lady Shade snapped angrily. "Now where's Kuro?"
"My children and I have been searching for him everywhere in the city, but he vanished from town." Sage replied, looking down to the floor with emotional pain.
"You really expect me to believe that?" Lady Shade shouted as she raised her claw closer towards Sage.
"Listen, Rozu." Norbit explained. "You can be mad at Sage all you want, but we telling the truth. Kuro is still out there. And if you still love him, you will do the right thing for once in your life."
Lady Shade stared at Norbit as she was stunned by his words and lowered her claws from Sage's face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, three mage kunoichis and one mage ninja ducked next to a parked truck and peered carefully through the vehicle to see a Kraang Stealth Ship wedged between two other parked trucks.
"There it is!" Kirana said. "I told you I detect it coming down here with my aura sense!"
"Wow, your aura sense kept improving greatly on our missions, too!" Ariana said admiringly.
"Heh, who know the Kraang techno vehicles can be helpful from time to time?" Camilla smirked.
"Let's hurry and get Talia back." Ezra announced.
Kirana, Camilla, Ariana, and Ezra hurried into the stealth ship without being detected. As Kirana quickly hit the controls, the ship came to life and started activating itself to full power.
In quick seconds, the Kraang Stealth Ship zoomed straight into the sky had broken free of Earth's atmosphere. The K-5 floated around inside the ship with no gravity due to the properties of outer space.
"I must admit." Camilla smiled, cruising around the ship with the sense of relaxation. "We should definitely take a field trip to space one of these days."
"Ariana, can you turn on the gravity in here?" Kirana asked.
"I'm on it!" Ariana said.
Donna quickly strapped herself into a seat and punched a button that turned on the artificial gravity inside the ship. Only Kirana and Ezra fell on the floor. Ariana smiled until Camilla fell right onto her, making the purple mage push her older sister off of her to the floor.
"Guys, take a look at this!" Lee gasped as she looked out the view screen. "The Cristallum airship!"
Ariana, Ezra, and Camilla looked up as they stated at the huge pale blue airship with a window located at the front guarded by several smaller Cristallum ships.
"Whoa, that's huge." Ezra said with a whistle. "Is Talia in there?"
"Well, I'm detecting a strong life signature inside that ship." Ariana said as she typed the buttons rapidly. "It's gotta be her! I also discovered the cloak system on this ship! The Cristallum will never find us now!"
Outside, the Kraang Stealth Ship with its dangling tentacles suddenly disappeared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back on the bridge of the airship, Erin and Talia watched as Commander Aurore zoomed in on an image of the cloaked Kraang Stealth Ship as she used high-tech imaging to render it visible.
"If those pathetic Kraang think they can hide from us, then they are sadly worthless." Erin said with a glare. She turned to her second-in-command. "Commander Aurore, deploy a fighting squadron! Sergeant Mireille, activate the plasma cannon!"
Four Cristallum raptor ships flew off towards the Kraang Stealth Ship outside the Cristallum airship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside the Kraang Stealth Ship, Ariana saw the raptor ships coming from the scanners on the control panel. Her eyes widened wide when the beeping sound from the control panel was getting faster and faster.
"Uh no!" Ariana said. "The Cristallums are locking on to us with their weapons!"
"Oh, this can't be good." Camilla groaned.
The K-5 screamed as they swerved and weaved around while trying to dodge the firestorm of laser blasts coming at them from the four raptors.
"How in the heck can they see us, Ariana?" Kirana yelled.
"Hm, let me think for a sec." Ariana answered sarcastically. "How can they see us coming? Maybe a high-tech imaging inside their airship!"
A sudden laser blast hit the Kraang Stealth Ship. The K-5 cried as they were thrown around the inside of the ship, which it's now completely visible.
"Camilla, man the defenses!" Kirana ordered.
"I'm on it, chief!" Camilla cried.
Camilla punched the controls, sending neon pink blasts back at the pursuing raptors. But the K-5 were taking more hits than they were dishing out. Finally, they steered right into one of the Cristallum ships. Camilla kept punching the control board over and over, causing the metal tentacle of the Kraang ship to hit the raptor ship outside. A laser blast from the raptor knocked the Kraang Stealth Ship off. Camilla fired a continuous neon pink blast, causing the four raptors to move out of the way. Then, the four raptor ships kept hitting the Kraang Stealth Ship with more energy blasts.
"There's too many of them!" Ezra cried. "I don't think we're gonna make it!"
Then suddenly, a large navy blue cannon with a floral blooming design on top of the airship started to power up. The airship turned to the Kraang Stealth Ship in space as the huge cannon was aimed right at the K-5, who were staring at the airship in horror. A huge blast of plasma shot toward the Kraang Stealth Ship, causing the K-5 to scream from the inside.
But seconds before their doom, Ariana had grabbed her siblings and focused on her magic. Then, they vanished out of the ship.
In a blinding flash of light, the Kraang Stealth Ship exploded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside the Cristallum airship, four huddled mages teleported onto the bridge while still screaming. Ezra was the first to stop as he looked around and sighed with relief.
"Hey! We live!" Ezra laughed.
"We're alive!" Kirana said. "Wait a minute. How?"
"You teleported us here?" Camilla asked Ariana.
"Yup, by using our sister's life signature to make it work." Ariana said with a nod.
"You could have just did that back on Earth!" Camilla shouted outrageously.
"You have no idea how many times I've try to teleport..." Ariana snapped. She then looked up with wide eyes. "Oh, we're so in trouble!"
Kirana, Camilla, and Ezra looked up to see Cristallums surrounded them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at Washington Square Park, Triceraton soldiers patrolled the edge of the area as they wanted to make sure that no one come in to stop their scientists from repairing the Heart of Darkness after all of the defeated Cristallum soldiers retreated back to the airship for medical aid.
On a low rooftop, one Triceraton watched for intruders with his weapon until he heard a voice cry and whipped around to scan the area. Above him was Bishop and Jinx waving on another rooftop's water tank. The Triceraton held his weapon in his arms and chuckled at the mutants' dancing together, much to his amusement.
Then suddenly, Rocksteady and Crystalia punched the Triceraton that knocked him off the roof onto a parked truck. The sound of the alien crashing onto the truck alerted another Triceraton guard, who turned toward the noise. But that's when Shredder and Lady Shade came out of the darkness. Shredder sliced the triceratop alien's weapon in half with his blades, leaving Lady Shade delivered a few black energized kicks to the Triceraton soldier's chest that knocked him unconscious.
"We must remain stealthy." Splinter warned in a low voice as he, April, Macey, Shredder, and Shredder's henchmen moved deeper into the park.
"We can't let the Triceratons know out sneak attack." Sage added firmly as she, Norbit, Lady Shade, and Lady Shade's henchwomen followed after Splinter's team.
The group of unlikely allies slipped behind a parked garbage truck. April peered around the corner of the truck at the Triceraton scientists working on the black hole generator. Then, she pulled her head back to the group.
"Whatever we do, we'd better do it fast." April whispered to the others. "I think they just fixed the timer on that things."
The others spied on the Triceraton scientists as one of them pressed a triangular button in the center of the timer for the countdown to begin.
"We must not waste time, Master." Tiger Claw said to Shredder. "We must—Oh, no."
Everyone saw more Triceraton soldiers beaming down into Washington Square Park and found themselves severely outnumbered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the bridge of the mother ship, the five K-5 were reunited—as prisoners of the Cristallums. They were forced to kneel on the floor before Captain Erin.
"Captain Erin, our planet has so much potential!" Ariana spoke in her most logical, convincing voice. "Please don't help the Triceratons destroy it!"
"Oh please, there's no need for that." Erin said calmly.
"It's fine, guys. They came to help our planet." Talia said as she stood next to the Cristallum leader. "They have a secret weapon that could end the Triceratons."
Suddenly, a strong laser blast hit the airship. The K-5 and the Cristallums cried as they lost their balance inside of the ship.
"Escort the mages to the portal to Earth and activate the Cosmo Escalation!" Erin ordered to her guards. "The rest of you man your battle stations!"
The Cristallum guards grabbed the five K-5 and hauled them to their feet.
"Wait!" Ezra stopped.
"You can let us help you, Erin." Kirana said.
"We can?" Camilla and Ariana asked, looking at her oldest sister with shocked faces.
"She's right." Ezra agreed.
"Give us a chance and we'll help you take the whole Triceraton ship down." Kirana continued as she looked at Erin with a serious face.
Camilla, Ariana, Talia, and Ezra stared at Kirana as they knew when Kirana was extremely brave to fight something bigger than anything.
"You're brave, I'll give you that." Erin said with a smile as she placed her hand on Kirana's left shoulder. "But your allies needed you and your siblings back on Earth. You five must stop the soldiers and save your planet. We'll stay in space to use the Cosmo Escalation on the mother ship. Guards, take them to the portal."
One Cristallum guard opened the pale blue portal with her hand and tossed the K-5 through one by one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back on Earth, the pale blue portal appeared on the New York City streets and the K-5 landed hard on the ground. Then, the portal disappeared from sight.
As the mages stood up, they looked around to see if they were all still in one piece. Ezra looked at something with shocking eyes.
"Get down!" Ezra shouted as he tackled his sisters on the ground.
Just in time, a plasma beam hit a building wall above them, blasting a huge hole through it. The portal have set them back to Washington Square Park because they'd found themselves right into the battle between the Triceratons and Splinter's forces with the help of recovered Cristallums.
As the battle was raging, the black hole generator's timer was ticking down and no one haven't reached the Heart of Darkness yet. The K-5 couldn't believe what they were seeing! April, Macey, Splinter, Sage, and Norbit are fighting alongside Shredder and Lady Shade's forces! To them, it was some crazy alliance.
In the middle of the battle, April and Macey slipped over to the force field bubbles where Casey, Slash, Samara, Rockwell, Whitman, Leatherhead, and Mala were being held captive.
"April! Macey!" Slash and Samara called out as they were thrilled to see the redhead kunoichi.
"Red! Wolfie!" Casey shouted. "I knew you wouldn't leave us behind!"
"We'll get you guys out in no time!" April promised.
April grabbed the small pyramid that was projecting Casey's bubble-cage. She knelt her knee down and slammed it into the ground several times, trying to break it so the bubble would disappear.
"Come on, come on." April said as she kept pounding the pyramid device with much force she has.
Finally, the pyramid cracked and broke. The bubble popped and Casey fell to the ground free at last before jumping up.
"Yes! Thanks, April! You rule!" Casey said with a smile.
Casey and April quickly hugged each other tightly. Then Macey turned back to the Mutanimals and the Amazons.
"We'll get the rest of you out!" Macey cried.
Macey picked up the pyramid that contained Rockwell and Whitman's force field cage. But unfortunately, many more Triceraton soldiers approached in the battlefield.
"No! There's no time!" Rockwell said as he held up his hands inside the bubble.
"Rockwell's right! You got to move!" Whitman cried.
As a Triceraton soldier fired his weapon at April, Tiger Claw kicked his feet out from under the triceratop alien that sent his shot into the air. Tigress then knocked the alien out by unleashing a sudden barrage of burnt orange energy bolts at him. Then, Tiger Claw and Tigress took cover as they turned to April and Casey.
"Hurry, quickly! Run!" Tiger Claw said.
"Let us have handle them!" Tigress said.
April, Macey, and Casey fled from the Triceratons' laser fire. The timer was ticking down only seconds left until the Heart of Darkness unleashed a planet-destroying black hole.
Meanwhile, Lady Shade swung out her black energized claws through the air at a group of Triceratons. Shredder delivered many brutal punching and kicking that knocked down two Triceratons with his deadly blades, but the third Triceraton was about to shoot her from behind.
Splinter ran to Shredder's aid and tossed blinding powder into the soldier's face. The Triceraton soldier was unable to see that made him staggering back. Splinter dealt him several blows before another Triceraton rushed forward and swung his huge fists at the rat mutant. Sage took on both Triceraton guards at once, firing numerous white energy bolts from her hands at the Triceratons until they both hit the ground with a tremendous crash. One of the triceratop aliens fell right on top of Splinter, who crawled out and looked for Shredder.
"Hurry!" Splinter called to Shredder, Sage, and Lady Shade. "We have no time!"
The timer on the black hole generator had nearly counted down to zero. Splinter rushed toward the device. Shredder was right behind him. Sage and Lady Shade charged to the Heart of Darkness from the other side.
Then suddenly, Splinter grunted as if he felt a sharp pain within him. The flow of time have slowed down the battlefield. The five Turtles turned around and stood there frozen in shock for a moment. Shredder had betrayed Splinter by emerging his long sharp blades through Splinter's chest. Shredder pulled his blades out of Splinter, who pitched forward onto the ground.
"No!" Leo, Raph, Donnie, Mikey, and Vee screamed in horror.
"Splinter, no!" Sage cried out.
Sage was about to sprint toward her old friend's aid, but she suddenly screamed as if she felt a sharp pain within her. The flow of time have again slowed down the battlefield. The five mages turned around and stood there frozen in shock for a moment. Lady Shade also had betrayed Sage by emerging her black energized claw through Sage's chest. Lady Shade pulled her claws out of Sage, who fell forward onto the ground.
"No!" Kirana, Camilla, Ariana, Talia, and Ezra screamed in horror.
As the Turtles and the K-5 started running toward their parents, April grabbed her head as she was unable to bear the pain of her grief and anger. She threw her arms wide and screamed with fury, sending out an uncontrollable psychic blast that slammed Shredder and Lady Shade flying across the park.
The timer on the Heart of Darkness was still ticking down. Kirana stood her position and only watched in horror as Sage fell to the ground. Splinter and Sage's eyes slowly closed and their hearts stopped beating. They were gone. Neither Shredder nor Shade hold no guilt or remorse for their actions. In their mind, they have finally won and gained their vengeance. That made Kirana immediately felt something inside her snapped as all of her thoughts about the mission was replaced by sheer fury.
The timer ticked its last second. The Heart of Darkness rose into the air, beginning to generate a black hole that sucked everything into it with an irresistible force.
Bebop and Rocksteady huddled together in fear, Jinx and Crystalia grabbed hold on the tree truck, Rahzar and Fishface held on to the tree branches, and Galva and Masque held on to the fountain. But they all weren't strong enough to resist the gravitational pull and they ended up getting sucked into the black hole.
Shredder leaned against the base of the fountain and pulled off his mask that revealed his scarred human face.
"Shredder, what have you done?" Tiger Claw called out.
"Hamato Yoshi is finished!" Shredder said with his cold, insane smile. "The Earth can be destroyed for all I care. I have finally won!"
The Turtles, April, Macey, and Casey ran to Splinter. Leo cradled his master's head in his lap and Mikey laid his head across Splinter's still body. Camilla, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, and Norbit ran to Sage. Ezra cradled his mother in his hands and Talia hugged Sage's still body tightly. No one said anything as they mourned the loss of the great ninja masters.
Lady Shade leaned against the opposite of the fountain and pulled off her mask that revealed her scarred, lined face.
"Do you realize what you've done, Shade?" Tigress yelled.
"Like I even care about the planet!" Lady Shade said with a cold, heartless grin. "It's over for the Sage. I won at last!"
Just then, Lady Shade got knocked into the trees. Tigress, Shredder, Tiger Claw, Casey, Macey, Norbit, April, the Turtles, and the four mages gasped in shock from seeing that. Lady Shade's face got unsuspectingly severed by an infuriated attacker. Everyone turned to the source of that attack and their eyes widened wide in shock.
It was Kirana!
Kirana's iris turned jungle green and the sclera black with jungle green veins across the eyes and into the skin around the eyes. She has blue markings on her entire body and her skin glowed deep black. Her entire body was glowing in dark blue energy. The blue mage was consumed with rage due to Lady Shade have killed Sage.
"YOU MURDERER!" Kirana screamed with her darker, echo voice. "YOU KILLED MY FATHER AND NOW YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!"
Kirana slammed her fist into the ground and unleashed a large blue eruption made of psychic energy that attacked Lady Shade on impact. Lady Shade growled and shot out large balls of black energy at Kirana, who easily avoided them with fast speed and moved forward close to Lady Shade's horrified face. But Lady Shade didn't have time to react or a chance to attack. Kirana launched the Shadow Clan leader up in the air and manifested sharp claws from her right hand composed of raw blue psychic energy, leaping up towards Lady Shade and quickly delivered a series of slashes from multiple directions before slamming her into the ground.
The Turtles, the four mages, Norbit, April, and Casey don't want to go near the enraged mage as if they have never seen Kirana in her demonic state.
"Go ahead...do your worse!" Lady Shade said weakly.
"I'LL END YOUR LIFE, MONSTER!" Kirana hollered wildly.
As Kirana was ready to kill Lady Shade at her most vulnerable position, Camilla looked down to watch her hands glowing in pulsing red and knew that she has gained a new power just like Talia and Kirana did. Knowing what she has to do, Camilla ran forward towards her older sister.
"Kirana!" Camilla shouted. "Please stop it!"
"No, I'll end her! I'll destroy every part of her!" Kirana hissed, manifesting sharp claws from her left hand composed of raw blue psychic energy. "SHE WILL DIE!"
Camilla constructed a long chain made of red psychic energy and quickly ensnared her older sister tightly. Using all of her strength, she swung her chain around to slam Kirana at the edge of the park area. Kirana lifted her head up and pulled Camilla close to the dark bushes. Ariana, Talia, and Ezra laid Sage's deceased body as they ran over to help Camilla control their oldest sister. Talia constructed a long chain made of orange psychic energy and quickly ensnared her older sister tightly. Ariana slowly felt her new power coming in within her and constructed a long chain made of purple psychic energy before ensnaring her older sister tightly. Ezra suddenly felt his new power coming in within him and constructed a long chain made of teal psychic energy before ensnarling his oldest sister tightly. The four mages held on to the chain long enough to calm down their oldest sister.
"Kirana, please calm down!" Ariana cried out. "We don't want to hurt you!"
"We know how you feel about mother, but destroying Shade won't bring her back!" Talia yelled.
"They're right, Kirana!" Camilla shouted. "You can't let your rage control you!"
"Remember who you are!" Ezra shouted. "Your our eldest sister! We need you!"
"You four don't get it!" Kirana retorted with a scream. "Lady Shade killed our mother! I have to kill her! Kill her! Kill her! Kill..."
Suddenly, Kirana gasped sharply and crumpled on the ground because she's spent too much energy against Lady Shade. She clutched her arms around herself as she wanted the pain to go away.
"I hate Shade! I hate her existence." Kirana said with tears in her eyes. "I will kill her for our mother's death...I'll kill her...I'll kill her...kill her... kill her..."
Camilla, Ariana, Talia, and Ezra released Kirana from their long chains, making the weapons vanish from sight. They quickly reached down and hugged their oldest sister tightly. Domino and Norbit arrived in time to calm down Kirana with their hug.
Higher up, the black hole was growing as it was blocking out the moon. Billions of New York citizens were suddenly lifted up off the ground and they were sucked up toward the gaping black hole. Splinter's dead body, Sage's dead body, Shredder, Lady Shade, the Foot Clan warriors, the Shadow Clan warriors, the Mutanimals, and the Amazons were getting suck into the black hole.
Then, the K-5, Norbit, and Domino saw a bright light shining down from above. A large white triangular diamond-esque starship hovered over them. A door opened up and the walkway extended from the ship to the ground. An inner door was opened and a tall feminine figure stood silhouetted in the bright light. She extended her hand and welcomed the K-5, Norbit, and Domino aboard.
"If you wish to live, come abroad!" A feminine alien spoke.
With no other choice, the K-5, Norbit, and Domino climbed aboard and the starship quickly departed as the Earth itself was being pulled up into the black hole.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, the Triceratons watched their mission complete triumphantly from their repaired mother ship as they left the Solar System from a hundred thousand miles up. Captain Mozar's smile grew wider when he watched the entire Cristallum airship was getting pulled to the black hole generator.
"Long live the Triceraton Empire!" Captain Mozar shouted with a smile as he raised his fist in a salute.
"Long live the Triceraton Empire!" The entire Triceratons echoed aboard the mother ship.
Then, the entire Triceraton fleet cloaked itself in invisibility and transported away far away through space from the black hole.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the black hole loomed over Earth, the large mysterious starship rocketed away from its deadly pull and then successfully hurtled away. The planet Earth disappeared into the black hole. When the black hole swallowed Earth, a huge amount of energy was released that sent out a giant shock wave across space.
"Everyone, hold on tight!" The pilot ordered.
The K-5, Norbit, and Domino held on to each other tightly as the giant shockwave rocked the starship, sending everyone inside flying around with loud screams. Then, as quickly as it began, the shock wave passed over them and ended. Everything was eerily still.
The K-5, Norbit, and Domino looked up from the various spots around the starship where they had landed on the floor as they stared at a large view screen that revealed the Earth was now nothing but a cosmos of stardust and silence.
"Did...that really...just happen?" Camilla asked with huge eyes.
"Earth...Mother...The Turtles...Our friends!" Kirana said with deep sadness. "We lost our home planet!"
"Everyone...Everything..." Ezra said in shock and sadness.
"I can't believe our home is gone." Ariana said. "Forever in a gravitational field singularity where nothing can escape from."
"That can't be happening." Talia said in a small voice.
The starship's pilot stepped forward. She has a slim figure with pale skin, light blue eyes, and light blond wavy hair that goes to her shoulders. She wore a turquoise metallic catsuit with cutouts and powder blue ankle boots. She also wore purple nail polish and golden star-shaped earrings.
A small green alien was floating next to the pilot with a small cup in its hands.
"My Levian offers you some hot cocoa." The pilot spoke in a mature monotone voice.
"Thanks." Talia said, accepting the cup with a smile. But then, she looked up at the cosmic alien. "Wait, who are you anyway?"
"My name is Captain Valina." The cosmic alien answered with a cheerful smile. "And welcome to the Nexus. The Levians and I are happy to welcome you on board."
"Looks like we're having a new adventure in space." Domino said to the K-5.
The starship rocketed off through the galaxy far away from the solar system.
